Chapter 851: Chapter 352: Round Two between Su and Zheng_2
He’s soone who values his reputation. His son is grown up, and it’s normal for him to date, but you can’t just date soone here and then turn around and date soone else there.
If word gets out, people will laugh at us.
Yang Lirong didn’t think much of it, saying to Zhou Guobin, “He hasn’t gotten married yet, has he?”
“I saw that girl—she’s really pretty and fashionable. No wonder she’s from the Capital city. Your eldest sister married a foreign wife, didn’t she? She’s so proud of herself because of that. Look at our son—how amazing is he? Even Capital city girls are chasing after him and coming to our house!”
As Yang Lirong said this, her face showed a hint of pride.
But Zhou Guobin frowned and said, “What nonsense are you talking about again?”
“Think about it—she’s soone’s daughter, raised with great care, and she’s coming to your house during the holidays. Put yourself in their shoes. If it were your child, how worried would you be?”
“This brat! He’s been away for just a short ti, and now he’s like this!”
During the few days Zhou Yuwen had been back, Zhou Guobin hadn’t had much interaction with him, but he felt his son had changed drastically. He thought he needed to find an opportunity to teach him a lesson.
Moreover, how could a young girl just stay in their house unclear about her status?
Zhou Guobin asked Yang Lirong to tell Zhou Yuwen that arranging for her to stay at a hotel would be more appropriate.
Yang Lirong, finding her husband so rigid, was sowhat displeased. She said, “The house is empty anyway, so why can’t she stay here?”
“Besides, if the girl willingly cos over, that proves our son is capable. Why are you trying to kick her out? After all the effort she made to co here, if sothing really went wrong, could we even bear the responsibility?”
“I’ll handle this—she’s staying at our house!”
Yang Lirong said firmly, with a serious expression on her face.
“You—”
Zhou Guobin originally wanted to argue, but Yang Lirong cut him off, saying, “Alright, if you don’t know how to speak properly, then stop talking.”
“I’ll go upstairs to call them down for dinner.”
Seeing his wife leave, Zhou Guobin sighed helplessly.
The family’s dinner ti was seven o’clock.
Before that, Zheng Yanyan had been lounging in Zhou Yuwen’s room playing video gas.
When Yang Lirong ca upstairs to call her for dinner, Zheng Yanyan seed a bit embarrassed and said she wouldn’t go.
Zhou Yuwen said, “What’s wrong? Not interested in our family’s food?”
“Ugh, that’s not what I ant!” Zheng Yanyan shot him a playful glare and pouted, “Why don’t you bring it up to instead?”
Zhou Yuwen retorted, “Look at you, so high and mighty!”
“Either co down to eat…”
“Or go hungry.”
“Ah! Honey~!” Zheng Yanyan clung to Zhou Yuwen’s arm, whining.
She leaned closer and whispered to him, saying the main reason was that she was shy in front of Zhou Yuwen’s parents.
Zhou Yuwen replied, “What’s there to be shy about?”
“You’re already here, so stop being shy. Hurry up, let’s go downstairs.”
Zheng Yanyan obviously had to et his parents. Otherwise, what’s the point of hiding a girl in his house?
So, following that, Zheng Yanyan clung nervously to Zhou Yuwen, pulling at the corner of his shirt and cautiously trailing behind him as they went downstairs.
When she ca down, Zhou Yuwen’s parents imdiately noticed this girl hiding behind their son.
She indeed had an excellent temperant and was very beautiful.
Anyway, Yang Lirong was very satisfied.
Zhou Yuwen led her to the dining table and introduced his parents one by one.
Then, Zheng Yanyan greeted them, “Uncle, Auntie.”
Zhou Guobin glanced at the polite young woman without speaking, pondering what her relationship with his son might be.
Yang Lirong warmly responded, encouraging Zheng Yanyan to sit down quickly and eat.
At this mont, Zheng Yanyan’s behavior was entirely different from her usual self.
Now, she was very well-mannered, even thanking them as she sat down.
Yang Lirong said, “Knowing you were coming, I specifically made extra Xu Huai dishes. I’m not sure if you’re used to them?”
“I’m used to them! Very used to them! When I was in Jinling, Zhou Yuwen often took out for Xu Huai food. Hmm, Auntie, your cooking is amazing! I think it tastes even better than my mom’s!”
Zheng Yanyan praised sincerely after taking a few bites.
Yang Lirong couldn’t help but smile at this remark. “You’re so sweet with your words, child.”
“I just cooked so simple dishes; how could it possibly be better than your mom’s?”
“For real!”
But Zheng Yanyan responded earnestly, saying, “Auntie, your cooking skills could totally start a restaurant!”
“My mom doesn’t know how to cook at all. I feel like if she had even a tenth of your skills, I’d be over-the-moon happy. I can’t even imagine how lucky Zhou Yuwen was growing up eating your food!”
At this point, the only two n at the table were quietly eating. Zhou Guobin glanced at his son with a aningful look.
anwhile, Zhou Yuwen awkwardly cleared his throat. “Cough. Isn’t this a bit too much?”
Whether it was staged or not, Yang Lirong was convinced. Not only was she beaming with happiness, but she also seized the chance to reproach Zhou Yuwen and Zhou Guobin, insisting they should appreciate her cooking more.
“Listen to what she said! You two get to eat my food—that’s a blessing like no other!” Yang Lirong said.
“Alright, alright.” Zhou Yuwen chuckled and piled so more food onto Zheng Yanyan’s plate, saying, “Since you like it so much, eat more.”
It was Zheng Yanyan’s first ti eating Mrs. Zhou’s cooking, and she truly found it delicious. Plus, she was genuinely hungry, so she was naturally delighted.
But Zhou Yuwen was piling too much food onto her plate.
Seeing this, Zhou Guobin said to his son, “Don’t just keep serving her food; eat more yourself.”
Saying this, he personally picked so food and put it on his son’s plate.
Zhou Yuwen responded, “Alright, alright, Dad, I got it. I’ll serve myself.”
