Rebirth: Starting with Capturing the Goddess Mentor

Chapter 116 Class Reunion (Part 1)

At 11:30 a.m., the Volkswagen slowly glided into the yard in front of Chen Yan's house.

He Juan and Chen Guodong were already waiting at the door. As soon as they saw the car stop, He Juan's eyes lit up and she eagerly took a few steps forward to greet it.

Chen Guodong, on the other hand, was more composed, with a faint smile on his lips, standing beside He Juan, waiting for his son and future daughter-in-law to get out of the car.

Chen Yan pushed open the car door first, got out of the car briskly, and turned around to open the car door for Jiang Zhixin on the other side.

Immediately afterwards, a slender hand landed on his arm, and Jiang Zhixin stepped out of the car with a slightly nervous expression.

For a moment, He Juan and Chen Guodong were both stunned.

Previously, they had seen Jiang Zhixin's photos on their son's phone screen and thought the girl had the look of a star. But when she appeared in front of them in person, they were shocked to find that the photos were not even a tenth as good as her in person.

Jiang Zhixin wore a knee-length white wool coat over a tight-fitting black turtleneck sweater, paired with jeans, showcasing her graceful figure.

Her delicate oval face was lightly made up, with a few wisps of hair falling on either side of her cheeks, adding to her gentle and lively appearance.

He Juan: My God, the Chen family's ancestral graves must be smoking!

Chen Guodong: What has my son done to deserve marrying such a beautiful girl?
Chen Yan wasn't surprised at all by his parents' reaction.

Even someone who has seen countless surgically enhanced faces was stunned by Jiang Zhixin's beauty at first sight.

"Cough cough."

He coughed to break the silence: "Dad, Mom, let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend—Jiang Zhixin."

He Juan and Chen Guodong then came to their senses.

He Juan quickly stepped forward, her face beaming with smiles, "Zhixin, come in quickly, it's cold outside."

As she spoke, her gaze couldn't help but linger on Jiang Zhixin, her eyes filled with amazement and admiration.

Just as Jiang Zhixin was about to organize her thoughts to greet him, Chen Yan preemptively instructed, "Xinxin, call her Mom."

She was already very nervous, and upon hearing Chen Yan's words, she almost instinctively blurted out, "Mom."

After Jiang Zhixin blurted out "Mom," her mind instantly cleared, and a blush instantly spread across her face.

"It's over, it's over!"

"Oh no! I hope they won't say I'm rude!"

What should I do if they are so tactless on their first visit?

On the other hand, He Juan was so confused by the word "Mom" that she froze on the spot again!

There's nothing I can do; happiness came too suddenly, and I need time to process it.

After she came to her senses, she took Jiang Zhixin's hand and smiled so hard her eyes narrowed into slits: "Good child, come inside quickly, it's windy outside, don't catch a cold."

As he spoke, he tried to pull Jiang Zhixin into the house.

Chen Guodong followed with a smile, intending to make Jiang Zhixin a cup of hot tea to warm her up.

Only Chen Yan remained in the same spot, seemingly unnoticed by anyone...

"Damn, now that you have a daughter-in-law, you don't even want your own son anymore?"

inside the house.

Chen Guodong handed over a cup of tea: "Xiao Jiang, have some tea first."

"Thank you... Dad."

Jiang Zhixin was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig out a three-bedroom apartment.

If I just called Chen Yan's mother "Mom", wouldn't it make me seem like I'm being treated differently if I were to say "Thank you, Uncle" to Chen Yan's father now?
If that happens, Chen Yan's father will definitely scold me for being insensible, right?
With her brain working at full speed, Jiang Zhixin finally mustered the courage to call out "Dad".

Chen Guodong was also grinning from ear to ear: "Okay, okay, don't be shy, make yourself at home."

Suddenly, Jiang Zhixin seemed to remember something and quickly stood up, saying, "Um, there are gifts I brought for you in the trunk. I'll go get them." After saying that, she quickly slipped out of the living room.

In the courtyard, Chen Yan was unloading the gifts one by one from the trunk.

Jiang Zhixin was furious when she saw him.

If this guy hadn't tricked me, I wouldn't have experienced such a socially fatal situation!
So she ran to Chen Yan's side and kicked the scoundrel in the calf.

"Damn, are you crazy? Can't you see I'm moving things? Why are you kicking me?"

Chen Yan was moving things when he was suddenly kicked and immediately started cursing.

As soon as He Juan stepped out of the house, she heard her son's angry words, "Damn, are you crazy...?"

Her expression changed instantly; her previously smiling face was now filled with coldness.

She strode forward, grabbed Chen Yan's ear, and cursed as she did so.

"You brat, what are you saying? How can you talk to Zhixin like that? She came all this way to our house, and instead of taking good care of her, you're cursing at her?"

Chen Yan cried out in pain, his impatience instantly turning into pleading: "Mom, Mom, I was wrong, I was wrong, okay? Let go, my ear is going to fall off!"

Jiang Zhixin stood aside, watching this scene, feeling both annoyed and amused. The embarrassment caused by the social incident dissipated considerably.

Seeing Chen Yan's embarrassed expression, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Hearing Jiang Zhixin's laughter, He Juan finally let go of Chen Yan's hand, giving him a light pat on the head before turning to Jiang Zhixin with a beaming smile:

"Zhixin, don't take it to heart. That brat just needs to be taught a lesson. If he bullies you in the future, just tell Mom and I'll take care of him."

Jiang Zhixin: "Thank you... Mom."

"Oh, we're all family, no need to thank me."

As He Juan spoke, she looked at the gifts on the ground and said, "Zhixin, you've come all this way, but you've brought so many things. You're too kind."

Jiang Zhixin quickly said, "It's not much, it's just a small token of my appreciation. I don't know if you and Uncle will like it."

"I love it, I love it! We'll definitely love anything you give us," He Juan said affectionately, holding Jiang Zhixin's hand.

Chen Guodong then came out and said, "Alright, the food is ready. Let's get ready to eat."

"Zhixin, let's go eat first, and have his dad bring the things in later."

Jiang Zhixin nodded obediently: "Okay."

Then, the two walked into the living room hand in hand, affectionately.

Chen Yan stood in the courtyard, covering his ears. A gust of cold wind blew by, making him sneeze.

"Damn, have you guys forgotten there's someone else here?"

……

At the dinner table, He Juan kept putting food on Jiang Zhixin's plate: "Zhixin, eat more. Look at you, you're too thin."

Jiang Zhixin thanked them while praising, "Mmm~ this dish is so delicious, it tastes even better than what you get at a Michelin-starred restaurant."

He Juan was so amused by Jiang Zhixin's praise that she couldn't stop smiling, and even the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes showed her joy.

He was completely satisfied with his daughter-in-law.

However, at this moment, an untimely voice rang out again:

"Hehe, Jiang Zhixin, you're so hypocritical. To flatter someone, you actually said that a Michelin chef is no match for a middle-aged rural woman?"
