Luo Honglan had the sa thought as Luo Zhiyong; her hand paused as she was about to hang up the phone. Impatiently, she asked the person across, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Zhou Yuni’s answer was very straightforward, "I’m at the train station. Hurry over here. Your dad sent here to take care of your engagent. This ti I definitely won’t be asking you for money or anything, don’t worry."
After she finished, Zhou Yuni added that phone calls were expensive and she would explain in detail when they t, then she hung up.
After Luo Honglan hung up the phone, she really didn’t want to go, but she was genuinely afraid that Zhou Yuni would co to cause trouble. Thinking it over, she made a phone call to Li Yuchun, then took her two children to Yu’er’s shop and left them with Yu’er, waiting for Li Yuchun to co over; then she herself went to the train station.
Luo Zhiyong and Luo Honglan arrived at the train station almost at the sa ti. The siblings bumped into each other at the entrance, exchanged a glance, and without needing to speak, both knew the other was called by Zhou Yuni. Neither had the energy to talk as they walked together into the station.
Zhou Yuni was waiting for them under a tree in the train station plaza. Seeing them approach, she imdiately started calling out to them, smiling, "Zhiyong, Honglan, I’m here."
Luo Zhiyong and Luo Honglan walked over to Zhou Yuni together. Since Luo Zhiyong had asked for clearer details over the phone, he also didn’t have much to say to Zhou Yuni.
But Luo Honglan looked at Zhou Yuni with impatience and asked, "What are you doing coming to the city?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuni’s face darkened as she rebuked Luo Honglan, "What kind of daughter talks to her mother like that? I carried you for ten months before giving birth to you. If not for rit, at least appreciate the hard work. You haven’t cared about ho for over half a year now. I ca here with good intentions to help out with your engagent, and this is how you treat ?"
Luo Honglan retorted without thinking, annoyed, "I don’t need you to make a show of support; having a mother and not having one makes no difference to ."
"You..." Zhou Yuni was so angry that she couldn’t speak.
"You know what you’ve done; you have no one to bla but yourself," Luo Honglan said indignantly, and then asked, "Why didn’t my dad co?"
This ti Zhou Yuni had already thought of an excuse, "There’s a matter in the village about redividing the fields or sothing like that. Every family needs to send soone, and your dad has to stay ho."
"Why can’t Luo Zhiming or you go? Why does he have to do it?" Luo Honglan felt sowhat resentful inside. If Luo Dashan really couldn’t co, then he shouldn’t have, why send Zhou Yuni.
"We go and your dad doesn’t feel assured," said Zhou Yuni, afraid of saying too much and making a mistake. She imdiately waved her hand, "Let’s not talk too much. Let’s go to the guesthouse and talk about how to handle this marriage. If it gets settled tomorrow, I’ll go back the day after and won’t stay here an extra day, so you won’t always think I have co up with so sche."
Hearing Zhou Yuni say this, Luo Honglan and Luo Zhiyong were indeed a little surprised. It seed she really was here just to handle Luo Honglan’s engagent.
Luo Honglan couldn’t help but ask out loud, "You really just ca to deal with my engagent, no other ulterior motives, like causing trouble at my sister-in-law’s place?"
"We’re already divorced, why would I go cause trouble?" Initially, Zhou Yuni had planned to do so, but having promised Luo Dashan, she decided not to make trouble this ti. However, she rembered the words entrusted by Luo Dashan and said to Luo Zhiyong,
"Still, Zhiyong, your dad said he wants you to take Yaoyao and Ruirui to a photo studio to take so pictures, and let bring them back for him to see. At the very least, he wants to see what his grandchildren look like."
"That’s it?" Luo Zhiyong truly didn’t quite believe it.
Zhou Yuni feigned an honest and straightforward deanor and asked back, "What else?"
Upon hearing her response, Luo Zhiyong’s expression eased sowhat. He nodded, "Alright, I’ll bring Ruirui and Yaoyao to take a few photos later, and you can bring them back to show dad."
"Deal, then let’s head to the guesthouse. I’ve booked a room there." Zhou Yuni pointed in the direction of the guesthouse, "Let’s talk there."
Luo Zhiyong and Luo Honglan saw that Zhou Yuni really didn’t seem to be there to cause trouble this visit, nor did she ask for money right away, and even booked the guesthouse room herself, Luo Honglan and Luo Zhiyong really didn’t think she was up to anything, so they followed her there.
In fact, the rooms at the guesthouse were urgently booked by Xu He, who had specifically chosen two adjacent units. Her instruction to Zhou Yuni was simply to keep Luo Zhiyong at the guesthouse for dinner, stay a little longer, and ideally have him stay over; Xu He could handle the rest.
So when Luo Zhiyong and the others entered the guesthouse, and Xu He saw them from upstairs, her lips curled slightly.
Especially upon seeing Luo Zhiyong in his military uniform, tall and sturdy, Xu He felt a warmth throughout her body, and a certain desire inside her was thoroughly aroused. She couldn’t wait for it to be evening.
After the group arrived at the guesthouse, Zhou Yuni didn’t inquire much else, only about Luo Honglan’s engagent matters.
Because Chen Jie had limited leave from the military, Luo Honglan needed to take care of Ruirui and Yaoyao and couldn’t get away, and it would also be troubleso to have all the relatives from both sides co, so they planned to have a simple engagent ceremony in the city. The Chen Family promised to host a grand wedding later, inviting all the relatives from the Luo Family.
For this engagent, the Chen Family would provide a betrothal gift, and the parents from both sides would et.
In fact, Fang Pingying had arranged for Li Yuchun and others to prepare everything needed for Luo Honglan; the people on their side only had to show up tomorrow.
Zhou Yuni’s mind wasn’t really set on these matters. Upon hearing everything was sorted out, she didn’t ask any further and casually chatted with the two siblings about family affairs.
Soon it was getting late, already seven o’clock in the evening.
Luo Zhiyong and Luo Honglan were planning to leave, discussing to co early tomorrow to pick up Zhou Yuni, just as Zhou Yuni was about to speak, suddenly there was a knock on the door, "Did you order dinner for this room? I’ve brought it to you."
"Not..." Just as Luo Zhiyong was about to say they hadn’t ordered it, Zhou Yuni imdiately realized it might have been arranged by Xu He and quickly said, "I ordered it. I thought it was getting late when I arrived, and since I didn’t eat lunch on the train, I ordered so food."
After speaking, she went on to explain, "I saw the food here wasn’t expensive, so I ordered for you guys too. Let’s eat before we head back."
She took the food from the delivery person and casually asked, "How much is it?"
"Three yuan."
"Okay." After Zhou Yuni spoke, she bent down to fish for money.
Seeing Zhou Yuni take a while to dig out a bunch of coins, which were only worth a few cents each and not knowing how many she would need to make up three yuan, the delivery person was waiting by the side and getting impatient. Luo Zhiyong then took out three yuan from his pocket and handed it over to the delivery person.
