Chapter 393: Chapter 394 eting with the Elders
Zhang Zhiguo hated visiting his father’s friends’ hos the most. As soon as he heard this, his face imdiately stretched long, “Dad, I finally have a day off, just let have so rest.”
At his son’s words, Zhang Yanlin imdiately got angry.
Zhang Yuhua understood what the man was aiming for; on ntioning their son’s reluctance to go, she instantly beca furious, “If your dad tells you to go, you go. How can you be so disobedient?”
After speaking, she looked at her own son with a worried face, thinking both she and her husband were quite smart, how could the son they brought into the world be so foolish.
Without a bit of cunning.
Zhang Yanlin glared at his son and shouted sternly, “Get ready quickly and co with and your older brother to et so of your uncles and elders.”
Zhang Zhiguo didn’t want to go at all, but facing his mother’s gaze, he could only agree with a grimace.
Xu Ying and Huo Chen had been ready early on; when they had co to Shanghai this ti, Yue Lian’s grandparents from the Zhou Family had ntioned visiting a few elders.
The two of them were also clear in their minds that Old Sir Zhou was laying the groundwork for their future.
After Zhang Zhiguo changed into his clothes, Xu Ying and Huo Chen, along with a few others, were already waiting in the car.
Once he was in the car, under Zhang Yanlin’s direction, Huo Chen quickly brought them to the first house.
As soon as the car stopped, Zhang Yanlin bought so gifts from nearby and led the group toward the ho.
As they walked into the neighborhood and saw the tall buildings where the family lived, a hint of envy flashed in Zhang Yanlin’s eyes.
While walking, he introduced, “Huo Chen, just call them uncle when you et them. These are all people your maternal grandparents have helped.
It’s good for us to recognize the place, in case we need their help soday.” After saying this, he pulled his younger son aside and whispered, “Make sure to behave yourself later; these people have governnt jobs, and we’ll need their help eventually.”
Zhang Zhiguo nodded impatiently; he understood what this was all about.
It seed his dad brought him here to network using Huo Chen, he sneakily glanced at Huo Chen.
Indeed, what a lucky life, with such a good mother, even the paths before him were good, with so many people ready to help.
“Zhang Yanlin, what are you doing here?” A woman who opened the door seed clearly unwelcoming upon seeing Zhang Yanlin.
Zhang Yanlin smiled awkwardly, imdiately pulling Huo Chen forward to introduce him to the woman, “This is my eldest son, the son of Yue Lian.”
As soon as these words ca out, the woman’s face showed a flash of surprise; she scrutinized Huo Chen’s face carefully, then suddenly showed a gleeful smile, pulling Huo Chen into the house familiarly.
“How are your maternal grandparents doing? Your uncle and I had planned to visit them, but your uncle is busy with work and I’ve been on the job too, so there was no ti to go.” The woman finished speaking and hurriedly made a call, taking a long ti off.
She casually made another phone call, “Tian Jun, Yue Lian’s son has co to our place; take so ti off and co back.”
Hearing this, Zhang Yanlin, with an embarrassed expression, said, “Sister-in-law, if Tian Jun is busy, he doesn’t need to co back. There’s no need to trouble yourself.”
The woman glanced at Zhang Yanlin and said irritably, “Tian Jun is coming back to see Yue Lian’s child, to see Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou’s grandson, what does it have to do with you?”
After a scolding from her, Zhang Yanlin’s face turned quite unsightly.
Side by side, Zhang Zhiguo also couldn’t stand it; his dad had deliberately called him here to embarrass himself.
The woman turned her head to Huo Chen, her face beaming with smiles; when her gaze landed on Xu Ying beside him, her expression was even brighter, “Is this your wife?”
Xu Ying greeted the woman in a very uninhibited manner, “Hello, Auntie, I’m Huo Chen’s wife; my na is Xu Ying. You can call Yingying.”
The woman, looking at Xu Ying’s free and easy deanor, really liked it.
Not at all like Zhang Yuhua, calculating and petty, “Yingying, alright, have lunch at Auntie’s ho. I’ll cook a big al for you all.”
“Huo Chen, please go take a seat on the sofa. Your uncle will be back very soon.”
Ma Suqin said as she led Xu Ying to the sofa and sat down. Looking at Xu Ying’s belly, her eyes reddened sowhat: “Uncle and Aunt Zhou are such good people, aren’t they?
All these years, they’ve suffered so much. Thankfully, the bitterness has turned to sweetness at last, and your man has also returned.
This girl, I feel like I’ve seen you before—it always seems like I’ve encountered you sowhere.”
Ma Suqin scrutinized Xu Ying carefully but couldn’t recall where she had seen her.
As knocking sounds ca from outside the door, Ma Suqin knew the n had returned and quickly opened the door.
Liu Tianjun entered the room, his face full of smiles, but as soon as he saw Zhang Yanlin, his expression imdiately turned dull. “Why are you here?”
Zhang Yanlin greeted him with an eager smile. “Tianjun, we are old classmates, and after so many years, any old grudges should already be gone.
Besides, I’ve co here with my son to visit you. Surely you would welco us.”
Liu Tianjun huffed coldly without speaking and turned his head to look at Huo Chen, his eyes scrutinizing.
“You’re Yue Lian’s son. You do resemble her quite a bit.”
“Are your grandparents doing well?” Liu Tianjun curiously asked.
“They’re doing well.”
Liu Tianjun nodded his head.
Ma Suqin, pulling Xu Ying along, introduced, “This is Huo Chen’s wife. If Yue Lian knew her son had got married and had a grandchild, she’d definitely be happy.”
Zhang Yanlin, sitting to the side, tried to join the conversation. “Indeed, Yue Lian loves children the most. If she knew her daughter-in-law was pregnant with twins, she’d certainly be over the moon.”
Ma Suqin, disgusted upon hearing this, looked at Zhang Yanlin with disdain. “Zhang Yanlin, you have no right to ntion Yue Lian.
No sooner had Yue Lian died than you married a new wife, and, what’s more, how soon after she entered your ho was the child born?
Are you saying that this new wife wasn’t soone you found behind Yue Lian’s back?”
Zhang Yanlin was instantly anxious upon hearing this and quickly shook his head to explain. “Su Qin, you can’t talk nonsense about this.
Everyone knows how well Yue Lian and I got along when we were together.
And since Yuhua was her close friend, it was she who, knowing she wouldn’t survive, asked to marry Yuhua. How could I have secretly been with Yuhua while with Yue Lian?”
Ma Suqin scoffed. “You and Zhang Yuhua had been together before, right?
Are you saying that you didn’t get with Yue Lian for her family’s money, relying on her to go to university and get ahead in life?
Even if you didn’t cheat on Yue Lian with Zhang Yuhua, you shouldn’t have gotten with soone else in less than half a year.
Aren’t you afraid Yue Lian will co out from underground to settle the score with you?”
Zhang Yanlin looked pained. “Su Qin, you really misunderstand . When I married Yuhua, it was because I… alas, a mistake made in drunkenness, I was too heartbroken that day, and that’s why that happened.
She got pregnant, and I couldn’t just leave her unmarried.” He spoke with regret, stealing a glance at Huo Chen.
Liu Tianjun’s wife was so protective of Zhou Yue Lian; it seed she still had concerns about Huo Chen and the Zhou family.
He had to explain himself well and foster a connection with the Liu Family.
Zhang Yanlin did offer explanations, but he forgot that Zhang Zhiguo had been dragged here by him today.
