Chapter 1093: 1093
“Yes, they were poor folks who lived in the countryside, so what? Despite their impoverished conditions, their son has ended up much more successful than your daughter . ” Xiao Yaojing’s rage was written all over her face due to her mother’s spiteful remark .
“Feiran, your daughter is right, you’ve crossed the line,” Mr . Xiao interjected as a warning to his wife .
Mrs . Xiao blushed in embarrassment from their chiding, but she remained stubbornly persistent . “Tell me, don’t you think Cheng Xin is foolish? Though she excelled academically, she dropped out of school for a man, and do you know what next? She simply grabbed some guy off the street and married him! How dumb is she?”
Xiao Yaojing’s parents were university professors . They had retired recently and were therefore finally able to spare some time to visit Xiao Yaojing in the city .
However, the more Xiao Yaojing listened to her mother’s rambling, the gloomier her expression was . Before she could utter another word, Mr . Xiao said, “At the end of the day, you still care about your old classmate because she didn’t take the college entrance exam with you for a man . ”
“Hmph! Who cares about her?” Mrs . Xiao retorted angrily and glared at her husband .
Xiao Yaojing could finally figure out the underlying issue after her father’s interjection before she started another fight with her mother .
Women’s feelings were always so peculiar that even she, as a woman, failed to recognize the real problem from the mess .
“Mom, it’s true that Wen Tao’s father is not knowledgeable or cultured, but he is a very nice person . Look at their son and daughter—both of them have excelled far greater than your daughter has . ” Xiao Yaojing’s compliments were not intentional but an indisputable fact . Both Wen Tao and Wen Shan were Ph . D holders . To have two Ph . D . scholars in one family was an achievement that not every family was capable of .

“Stop it, you don’t have to take their side . No matter what, no means no,” Mrs . Xiao huffed . She slammed the table before getting up and storming off into her room .
“Hey, mom, do you want to go out with me or not?” Xiao Yaojing shouted toward the direction where her mother was headed . Her reply was the loud slam of the room door .
Mr . Xiao patted his daughter’s hands and consoled, “Okay, that’s enough . Speak to Wen Tao and arrange things properly . Don’t screw it again this time . ”
“Dad—” Xiao Yaojing blurted out in shock .

“You can trick your mom, but I see right through you,” Mr . Xiao coughed and said in a low voice, “Let’s eat . I like Wen Tao, and most importantly, he treats you well . ”
Xiao Yaojing could finally calm her worrisome heart .
“Dad, can you please hush mom’s mouth when we meet?” Xiao Yaojing reminded her father, feeling uneasiness and anguish .
“That’s because your mom feels sorry for her old classmate . She has always said that Wen Tao’s mother was better than her academically and that she would have no problems being accepted into elite universities . Your mother is not angry because of some man that they fought for . Instead, she is angry because Wen Tao’s mother has ruined her own future . You know your mother, right?” Mr . Xiao suggested . He patted his daughter’s hand again, gesturing at her to eat .

Xiao Yaojing poked at her rice with her chopsticks and peeked at the closed room door . She figured that she had to tell Wen Tao about this later .
After breakfast, Xiao Yaojing locked herself in her room and called Wen Tao, spilling all the beans to him .
Wen Tao did not expect such a twist . From how it looked like, the problem was actually quite minor, as long as the two mothers were willing to sit down together and clear the air .
“What if we just let our mothers go and meet each other? I’m worried that my mom would say something nasty . I don’t want to upset your dad . ” Xiao Yaojing thought about what her mother had said earlier . Despite knowing the real reason behind the harsh comments, she felt that it was unfair to Wen Tao’s father .
