Father Wu looked at Rao Jie with anticipation. Rao Jie truly felt the strong resemblance within this family; they were all so impatient.
Under Wu Xin's urging, Rao Jie finally called out to Father Wu and Mother Wu, "Parents." As soon as she finished speaking, Mother Wu's eyes turned red, and Father Wu hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, leaving Rao Jie feeling flustered.
Wu Xin laughed and put her arm around Rao Jie, saying, "Parents can't believe that my brother is getting married. Even when they saw the photo of your marriage certificate, they still couldn't accept it. Now it finally feels real, hahaha!"
Rao Jie was momentarily speechless.
Mother Wu, while choking back tears, handed Rao Jie a thick red envelope, and Father Wu followed suit with one of his own. Although Rao Jie didn’t quite understand the process of calling parents after getting married, she couldn’t help but feel that this family was too impulsive. Was it really okay for her to be here without Wu Rong?
However, in front of Wu Rong, she felt like she was being led by the nose. In front of the Wu family, it was the same fate; she felt as if she was being rushed through everything.
After quickly giving out the red envelopes, Father Wu booked a lavish dinner at a top-rated hotel. Mother Wu hurriedly touched up her makeup and prepared to take her precious daughter-in-law out for dinner, not caring whether Wu Rong would return or not.
It wasn't until she was dragged into the car that Rao Jie shockingly messaged Wu Rong. At that moment, she realized that Wu Rong had no idea that his family had returned.
Throughout the ride, Mother Wu doted on Rao Jie so much that even her biological daughter, Wu Xin, felt sidelined. Rao Jie was taken aback by all the attention.
Unable to bear it any longer, Wu Xin finally said, "Mom, calm down! Sister-in-law has already gotten the certificate; she’s not going anywhere!"
Mother Wu immediately replied, "Don't say that! It's not easy for your brother to find a partner."
Father Wu chimed in from the front seat, "Exactly! Rao Jie, after we finish dinner, we’ll go shopping. Buy whatever you like! As your future Parents, we had no idea you two were together; otherwise, we would have come to see you long ago. We really haven’t expressed our feelings properly; please don’t take it to heart."
"No, Dad, don’t say that. I’m very happy; Wu Rong takes good care of me," Rao Jie quickly responded. Calling them "Parents" felt much more natural now.
Hearing Rao Jie call him "Dad" made Father Wu incredibly happy.
Mother Wu quickly added, "It's not that Wu Rong is taking care of you; I know him well enough! You're so obedient and understanding; it must be you taking care of him. Jie Jie, living with our Brat must be tough for you. His personality is difficult to deal with and he’s useless in daily life. We are truly grateful that you’re willing to be with our son! With you around, we can rest easy; thank you so much!"
Rao Jie couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time; it seemed their whole family viewed Wu Rong this way. Meanwhile, Wu Xin was already enjoying herself on the side.
The more Mother Wu looked at Rao Jie, the more she liked her. She turned to Father Wu and said, "Honey, when Jie Jie came over to play in high school, I said this child is good—obedient and sensible—perfect for being my daughter-in-law! You said I was joking and that Jie Jie was just a sister and couldn’t possibly be a daughter-in-law. Now look at this… I have an eye for talent!"
Father Wu quickly replied, "Yes, yes! You’re amazing! If we had known A Chen could be tamed like this, we should have arranged their engagement from the start—what a waste of so many years!"
Although the Wu Family Parents said this now, they certainly hadn’t thought about it back then. After all, Rao Jie was Wu Xin's sister; at that time, Wu Rong had already gone abroad and only returned occasionally. The two had never met before.
