Chapter 555: Chapter 555: It’s All About Timing Chapter 555: Chapter 555: It’s All About Timing Finally, Zhang Ying heard the noise and came out to mediate. She welcomed Jiang Jingze inside.

“Come in and sit, Jingze, are you back from your vacation at Minghua University?”

A good student naturally earns extra points in front of their parents.

Plus, with Jiang Jingze being quite likable, Zhang Ying couldn’t help but showcase a smile as if looking at her son-in-law.

“You’ve grown taller again, you must be over one meter eighty now.”

Jiang Jingze nodded, took the apple Zhang Ying handed him, and sat down on the Yue Family’s sofa.

Yue Jiandong felt a sourness in his heart, feeling that his wife had not sided with him again, and couldn’t help but snort.

“Just a big fool.”

With one hand holding a fruit platter and the other discreetly pinching her husband’s waist, Zhang Ying chastised him.

Why do you always have to make things difficult for the kid?

But Yue Jiandong was just unhappy and always looking to pick a fault.

Jiang Jingze heard the noise from the kitchen and stood up on his own initiative.

“Auntie, let me help out.”

All of a sudden, Yue Jiandong stopped in his tracks, tears of worry about losing his daughter uncontrollably flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Though he said he’d help out, the kitchen soon became dominated by Jiang Jingze’s cooking.

The aroma of the food wafted throughout the house, making the three Yue kids continuously swallow their saliva.

Yue Xiaohu, slurping, said, “If Brother Jiang really becomes my brother-in-law in the future, won’t we be able to mooch meals off him often?”

Yue Xingxing nodded in agreement, “And he’s a talented student from Minghua University too.”

Lin Chunju also sat in the living room smiling, clearly very satisfied with Jiang Jingze.

Upon looking around, Yue Jiandong felt an isolated and desolate loneliness.

This loneliness reached its peak when Jiang Jingze suggested taking his daughter out after dinner.

His wife and mother said nothing else, just told them to come back home early.

His sister even suggested a few nice scenic spots.

Yue Xiaohu was just about to say he wanted to come along when Yue Xingxing stuffed a piece of braised beef in his mouth.

Yue Jiandong didn’t want to agree, but couldn’t come up with a reason to object, after all, his daughter had the right to socialize freely.

Moreover, Jiang Jingze was indeed upright and wouldn’t stir up any trouble.

Several votes in favor against one abstention, the conclusion was already decided.

After Yue Qingqing came downstairs, she discovered that Jiang Jingze had driven over.

“Brother Jiang, did you get your driver’s license?” Yue Qingqing asked curiously, “Was it difficult?”

Jiang Jingze opened the passenger door, “Not difficult.”

Getting a driver’s license was not difficult. The hard part was convincing his parents to let him apply for it.

Although over the years his son’s unlucky streak seemed to have slowly faded, they still worried about accidents.

But Jiang Jingze insisted, so they could only agree.

They just asked their son to always be cautious when driving, not to emulate many businessmen who drive under the influence and to always buckle up honestly in the car.

Jiang Jingze, who was already focused on safety, naturally agreed.

After getting into the car, Yue Qingqing suddenly noticed Jiang Jingze leaning closer.

His arm smoothly encircled her within it.

Long eyelashes cast shadows, his beautiful eyes slightly drooped, gaze focused.

“Jiang, Brother Jiang,” Yue Qingqing’s heart inexplicably skipped a beat, her voice becoming stammering.

“Hmm?” Jiang Jingze reached out, pulling down the seatbelt.

Click, secured.

Seeing Jiang Jingze’s puzzled look, Yue Qingqing covered her face coyly.

“It’s nothing.”

Jiang Jingze chuckled softly and put down the handbrake, preparing to start the car.

Some things, like cooking, need the right timing.

Previously, when Qingqing was young, Jiang Jingze was willing to be a chef just to let her get used to having him around.

But as the little girl grew up, there were other things he needed to gradually get her used to.

Good soup must be simmered slowly.

Originally, he just wanted to watch her more and be by Qingqing’s side.

But people are always greedy and take things further, and now Jiang Jingze wanted more.
