Chapter 158 Urging marriage
Shen Yanqiu quickly adapted to life back at work. Sometimes the child stayed with Zhu Tingyue, and sometimes Shen Yanqiu took care of him.
The whole company was abuzz with gossip, and rumors about Zhu Tingyue, Shen Yanqiu, and their child were rampant.
Unable to bear the harassment any longer, Zhu Tingyue, after consulting Shen Yanqiu, simply announced their relationship.
This stopped the rumors, but it also brought pressure to get married.
Since she was relieved of her responsibilities at the company, Shen Yingchu felt completely carefree and kept calling Shen Zhiyang "grandson, grandson" every day.
Over the weekend, Zhu Tingyue took her child back to the Shen family home after being bombarded with phone calls from Shen Yingchu.
As soon as she entered the door, Shen Yingchu took the child from her.
"Oh my, my grandson! Grandpa has been waiting for you! Look what fun things Grandpa bought for you. Aren't you happy?"
Shen Yingchu's wrinkles around her eyes were all bunched up, and she didn't care whether her eldest grandson could understand her or not, and she launched into a tirade.
Zhu Tingyue was overjoyed to have an easier time. Whether she was at work or at home, she was always taking care of her child, which was exhausting. Now that someone was sharing the burden, she couldn't be happier.
As soon as she let go of the fruit, she immediately walked to the sofa, sat down, and unceremoniously picked up the fruit on the table and started eating.
Shen Yingchu didn't get a reply from her eldest grandson, but she still kept talking and chattering away, which made Shen Zhiyang laugh.
He was even happier and spoke to Zhu Tingyue in a gentle tone, but his words were still unpleasant: "Yanqiu, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're not young anymore. You already have a child, it's time to think about getting married."
Zhu Tingyue swallowed a grape, showing no interest in the topic he had brought up repeatedly.
Shen Yingchu didn't give up and tried to persuade her again: "I know you are young and open-minded now, and neither of you wants to be tied down by marriage, but this is a matter for two families."
"Even if I don't say it, Zhu Mingchuan is easy to get along with, isn't he? In the whole of Jiangcheng, who doesn't know that Tingyue is his precious daughter?"
"You and Tingyue like each other, and he agreed to you being together because he loves his daughter. To put it bluntly, no one expected you two to be together."
“I know that I have let you and your child down regarding our identity, but now that things have come to this, we should at least show our family’s stance!”
Zhu Tingyue understood that Shen Yingchu's words were from a loving father's heart, and every word was for Shen Yanqiu's benefit.
She wasn't ungrateful; regardless, she made her stance clear from the start: "I understand what you mean, but now that we have a child, what's the rush to get married?"
Shen Yingchu disagreed, her voice becoming urgent: "How can they be the same? A child is a child, and marriage is marriage! Just because you have a child doesn't mean you can't get married? Absolutely not, that's irresponsible!"
As he finished speaking, his voice trailed off again; he was the least qualified person to say those words.
Zhu Tingyue didn't want to put him in a difficult position, so she came to his rescue, saying, "You're right, but we're really not in a hurry. Don't you think there's someone else who should be in a hurry?"
Shen Yingchu was momentarily stunned by her question, her eyes filled with confusion.
Zhu Tingyue raised her chin and gestured for him to look at the person coming down the stairs—Shen Yanzhen.
Following her gaze, Shen Yingchu saw her eldest son, a man of integrity and upright character, appear before her. He closed his eyes again and again, sighing repeatedly in frustration.
However, the person in question was completely unaware and calmly approached the little dumpling, reaching out both hands to hug her.
