Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

She smiled and turned to look at Jean, "You two make such a wonderful couple! Your relationship seems to be great. I hate to mention but I want to hold my grandson as soon as possible. So you two need to hurry, OK?"

Jean was a little embarrassed. She didn't know how to respond, so she just smiled.

Zed didn't answer his mother. Instead, he just asked blandly, "Mom, what are you doing here?" Jean's eyebrows shot up when she heard how displeased Zed was.

His father, Sean Qi, who had been silently sitting on the sofa, snorted and glared at Zed. "So, you are not happy to see us? I can't believe that you didn't tell us about your marriage. We had to hear about your marriage from someone else. Zed, let me ask you, do you even care about your parents?"

He then had a glare at Jean and complained, "Even if you were in a hurry to get married, you should have found someone who at least matched our family's position. She's the daughter of a small business owner. What did she do to you? Did you even think about the consequences?"

"Dear, don't talk about these things in front of the young, newly married couple. You're embarrassing Jean!" Jade nudged Sean in the arm to settle him before turning to Jean and smiling. "Jean, please don't mind, he means no offense."

Surely enough, there was no such thing as a perfect family.

"Mom, it's OK." She shook her head. Jean couldn't get used to saying the word, mom. It had been so long since she said that word.

Since the marriage was a trade, and Jean was forced to be polite, she still felt a little uncomfortable using the word, mom. An awkward silence followed. Jean shuffled her feet as she stood in front of Zed's parents, trying to figure out what to do next.

Suddenly she had an idea, "Well... Dad and mom, you must not have eaten dinner yet. How about I buy some vegetables and cook a lovely dinner for you?"

Without waiting for anyone to reply, Jean turned and made her way to the kitchen. She had hardly taken a step when a big, warm hand grabbed her arm.

"You will not go anywhere!"

Zed's sudden action astonished the old couple. They had been under the impression that their son had married Jean out of love. They had expected the young couple to be happy. Jean and Zed's behavior, however, was contrary to that of a happy couple's. Jade and Sean's smile froze on their face.

She approached Zed slowly and whispered to him, "Didn't you tell me to pretend to be sweet in front of your parents?
