Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

Chapter 126 Meeting the parents
Neither Jiang Nannan nor Wang Qiu'er mentioned the deal between Xu Jiujiu and Ling Shuang on the way.

The former is because he trusts Ling Shuang completely and will not question his decision, while the latter is simply not interested in such matters at all.

Having learned from yesterday's experience, Jiang Nannan and Wang Qiu'er were able to travel much faster today.

Before it got dark, around dusk, the three of them arrived at their destination, the small town where Jiang Nannan's family lived.

The three people who descended from the sky at the entrance of the town instantly attracted a lot of attention. In this not-so-developed town, Soul Masters were still a rare sight.

"That's... that girl from the Jiang family?"

The town was small, and there weren't many people living there, so Jiang Nannan was quickly recognized.

A kind-faced old lady stepped forward: "Nannan, why are you back? Didn't your mother say you went to Shrek Academy to study?"

When Jiang Nannan saw the old woman, she gently replied, "Grandma Luo, I've come back to see my mother."

Jiang Nannan had a very good impression of the old lady in front of her. When she was studying at the academy, her mother had recovered from her illness thanks to the Spirit Pearl that Ling Shuang had given her, but her body had not fully recovered and she was still quite weak.

Grandma Luo took great care of Jiang Nannan's mother during that time, and Jiang Nannan was always grateful for it. So every time she came back, she would use the money she saved to buy gifts for Grandma Luo.

The reason she didn't give money was because that's what she had done from the beginning, but the old man simply wouldn't accept it. Helpless, Jiang Nannan could only compromise and express her gratitude with a gift.

Upon hearing this, the old woman, known as Grandma Luo, didn't think much of it and simply nodded slightly: "Nannan is really filial, much better than my daughter. She doesn't even come back a few times a year."

Jiang Nannan smiled but didn't reply.

After all, it was really difficult for her to respond to such a question.

After Grandma Luo shifted her gaze from Jiang Nannan, she noticed Ling Shuang, who clearly had a very close relationship with Jiang Nannan.

The elderly woman's gossipy nature instantly took over: "Nan Nan, who is this young master?"

Jiang Nannan blushed slightly as she introduced, "This is Ling Shuang, my boyfriend. The girl next to her is Wang Qiu'er, my boyfriend's distant cousin."

"Hello, Grandma." Ling Shuang greeted the elderly woman politely.

Upon hearing Jiang Nannan's introduction of Ling Shuang, Grandma Luo's face immediately lit up with a bright smile: "Nannan has really given us a big surprise. She even brought back her boyfriend this time."

Grandma Luo was increasingly satisfied with Ling Shuang and even happier for Jiang Nannan.

Ling Shuang's looks and temperament are both top-notch, making it extremely easy for people to develop a good impression of her.

While it may seem unfair, that's the reality: those with outstanding looks and charisma tend to make a better first impression.

"Oh dear, it's getting late, so this old woman won't waste your time."

"Nannan, you should go home quickly. Your mother will definitely be very happy today." Although Grandma Luo was genuinely happy for Jiang Nannan, she didn't pester her with questions like many elderly people do, as if she wanted to find out everything about her boyfriend's household registration.

She still has a good sense of propriety.

“Okay, goodbye Grandma Luo,” Jiang Nannan replied.

The three continued walking into the town.

Before long, led by Jiang Nannan, they stopped at the entrance of a small courtyard.

The courtyard wasn't large; it was a classic farmhouse courtyard, with wooden doors that were practically useless to Soul Masters, bearing the marks of time.

"This is my home."

During the introduction, Jiang Nannan kept glancing at Ling Shuang's face, observing his expression and worrying that he might find her simple home distasteful.

After all, Ling Shuang gave everyone the impression of being a young master from an extraordinary background. However, this was not the case; Ling Shuang showed no sign of disdain.

The courtyard is indeed small and the facilities are rather simple, but it gives people a sense of ordinary warmth.

"It's really beautiful." He praised sincerely, a hint of reminiscence flashing in his eyes.

In my previous life, I also spent my childhood in this kind of courtyard.

Back then, electronic products weren't fashionable. He would sit in the courtyard, gazing at the starry sky, listening with great interest to his grandfather telling stories from who-knows-where.

Later, he went to study in a big city and never had that feeling again, never saw those twinkling stars again.

At this moment, a familiar scene came into view, and Ling Shuang was momentarily dazed.

How could he possibly dislike the beautiful memories he keeps hidden deep within his heart?

Ling Shuang's expression gradually calmed Jiang Nannan's anxious heart.

Fortunately, Xiao Shuang didn't mind!
She stepped forward, pushed open the wooden gate of the courtyard, came to the door of the small house inside, and took out the key.

With a familiar creaking sound, Jiang Nannan pushed open the door.

"Mom, I'm home," she called out towards the house.

Because the house wasn't very large, even though Ling Shuang didn't use her mental power to spread it, she could still sense where the person inside was.

"Is Nan Nan back?" A gentle voice asked as a figure emerged from a room further inside.

That face bore a five-point resemblance to Jiang Nannan's, but it appeared more mature.

The passage of time has left its mark on the face of this woman who does not possess profound spiritual cultivation.

Even so, time never defeats a beauty, and one can still vaguely see the woman's beauty in her youth.

There's a reason why Jiang Nannan is considered the most beautiful woman in the Foreign Languages ​​Department.

When Jiang's mother saw Jiang Nannan return, her eyes lit up, and she walked over.

Jiang Nannan also stepped forward, ready to hug her mother whom she hadn't seen for a while.

Pass by.

Jiang Nannan froze, looking at her mother in surprise.

Jiang's mother didn't stop at all, seemingly unaware of Jiang Nannan's slightly outstretched arms, and went straight to Ling Shuang.

With heterochromatic eyes and white hair, these striking features instantly reminded Jiang's mother of the savior her daughter had told her about who had saved them.

Upon seeing Jiang Nannan's mother approach, Ling Shuang smiled slightly and greeted her, "Hello, Auntie, I'm Ling Shuang, Nannan's boyfriend."

Sure enough, upon hearing Ling Shuang's explanation, Jiang's mother's guess was confirmed.

She glanced at her daughter almost imperceptibly, her expression somewhat strange.

Did Jiang's mother know that Jiang Nannan had been talking about the boy in front of her all these years, and they had been exchanging letters frequently? She must have fallen for him long ago.

She hadn't held out much hope for Jiang Nannan's relationship, after all, judging from her daughter's description, Ling Shuang's identity was definitely not simple, and was completely different from theirs.

But to his surprise, his own silly daughter actually succeeded.
