Tong Hua thought she had just casually married someone, but after marriage, her luck inexplicably improved: Originally, she was framed by colleagues and her career seemed doomed, but then her enemi...
On that day, Tonghua went there in casual clothes. After all, she was not the protagonist of this marriage negotiation.
Before leaving, she specifically told Qin Zun something.
Qin Zun didn't ask any more questions, but just asked calmly: "How long will it take for you to come back?"
Tonghua estimated that dinner wouldn't take long, so he said, "About seven in the evening."
"Shall I take you there?"
"No need, I can go there by myself. I took a look at the address and the place is not far from here."
Soon, she arrived there according to the address her father sent.
She looked at the large hotel in front of her, which had about ten or twenty floors, and was a little confused. Were they sure that the address was set in this place?
She thought that her brother's marriage would be discussed in a restaurant or a hotel.
After all, this hotel looks very high-end, and ordinary families would not choose such a high-end place to discuss business.
Is her future sister-in-law's family very rich?
This is impossible. If the future sister-in-law's family is really rich, with Zhang Guiying's greedy personality, she will definitely rush to curry favor with them.
It was not like before when her future sister-in-law was not pregnant. When Zhang Guiying heard that the girl's family wanted to buy a house and ask for a betrothal gift of 200,000 yuan, she refused to agree to the marriage.
Although it was unknown why, Zhang Guiying no longer opposed the marriage.
But since we're here now, let's go in and take a look first.
She walked to the front desk and asked the receptionist about the private room they had agreed on.
As soon as she gave her name, the receptionist called a waiter to take her to the private room.
Walking to the door of the box, she pushed it open and walked in.
"Sister, you're here?"
As soon as she entered the door, Tong Zhengyuan saw her and stood up to greet her.
"Um."
Fairy Tale glanced at it.
Now in the box were both sets of parents, her younger brother, and her future sister-in-law. She was the last one to arrive on time.
Anyway, she was just a spectator today, and it would be awkward if she came too early.
She looked at the young woman sitting on the right side of the box. This should be her future sister-in-law.
This was the first time she met her future sister-in-law. She had big, watery eyes and was a very beautiful girl. No wonder her brother was so reluctant to let go and insisted on marrying her.
Her brother walked up to her and introduced them to her one by one: "Sister, this is Xinyue, and these are Xinyue's parents."
He then introduced her to Zhang Xinyue's parents: "Uncle and aunt, this is my sister, Tonghua."
Tonghua took a step forward and greeted them: "Uncle and aunt, hello. Hello, Xinyue."
Zhang Xinyue stood up at once and said happily: "You must be Zhengyuan's sister, right? I always hear him mention you, but why didn't I see my brother-in-law come over today?"
Tonghua explained: "He was very busy at work and had to work overtime on the weekend, so he didn't come over. This is the gift I bought for you. I hope you like it."
Qin Zun is not working overtime now, she just doesn't want Qin Zun and Zhang Guiying to meet.
Otherwise, Zhang Guiying would have no idea what evil intentions she would have towards Qin Zun.
She handed what she was holding to Tong Zhengyuan.
Tong Zhengyuan took the gift and placed it next to Zhang Xinyue's parents.
Zhang Xinyue's mother put the things aside and said with a smile: "We are all family, there is no need to be so formal and buy things. Come and sit down, little boy."
Zhang Xinyue waved to Tonghua: "Sister, come sit here with me."
She pulled out a chair next to her and motioned for Tonghua to sit next to her.
Tonghua was a little confused about her enthusiasm for her. It was the first time they met, and they were representing the man's family and the woman's family to discuss marriage.
Logically speaking, her position and that of her future sister-in-law are somewhat opposite, so why is she still so enthusiastic towards herself?
Every time the stepmother was at home, she complained about how bad Tong Zhengyuan’s girlfriend was.
He is greedy, rude, uneducated, and doesn't respect his elders...
It makes the other person seem useless.
Now it seems that her stepmother is prejudiced against her, which is why she dislikes her in every way.
Tonghua glanced at her father and stepmother, and finding that they had no objection, she walked towards Zhang Xinyue.
Zhang Xinyue couldn't wait to pull out a chair and let her sit down.
Tonghua didn't dare to let a pregnant woman serve her, so she quickly said, "Thank you, I can do it myself."
Seeing how well the two of them got along, Zhang Xinyue's father said happily, "It seems Xinyue really likes Xiaotong. The two of them get along really well. Now that everyone is here, let's start serving the food and talk while we eat."
The waiters came forward one by one and served a table full of dishes.
It is indeed a high-end hotel, and every dish looks expensive.
We have seafood, lobster, etc.
I don’t know how much this meal will cost?
But Tonghua just thought about it in his mind and didn't ask it out loud.
During the meal, Tonghua listened silently to the two parents talking about the marriage.
On the surface, everyone at the dinner table seemed to be in harmony and the atmosphere was peaceful.
But in reality, the parents of both sides were bargaining and playing games with each other over the marriage of their daughters and sons.
This kind of scene where everyone is smiling on the surface but actually confronting each other is very uncomfortable for Tonghua.
She tried to minimize her presence and ate in silence.
But Zhang Xinyue on the side seemed to be really interested in her and kept chatting with her.
Tonghua could only respond to her questions in a perfunctory manner.
When Zhang Xinyue had almost finished eating, she watched with boredom as the parents of both sides engaged in a tug-of-war.
She suddenly said, "I feel so bored here. Sister Tong, please go out for a walk with me."
Tonghua was surprised. Although she also felt that the current situation was very boring, it was inappropriate to leave so blatantly.
"We're here today to discuss your marriage. It would be a shame if we just left like this, right?"
Zhang Xinyue said nonchalantly, "Anyway, the marriage is being discussed between the two sets of parents, and we can't get involved. It's pointless to stay here."
Zhang's mother, who was sitting on her left, heard her daughter's words and said very openly, "Since you feel bored, Xinyue, why don't you go out for a walk? It won't be a problem. I'll just trouble Xiaotong to keep an eye on my daughter. You know she's not feeling well right now."
When Tong Zhengyuan heard this, he was about to get up and leave, but was rejected by Zhang Xinyue.
"We two sisters are going out to play, why are you following us? You should just stay here."
Tong Zhengyuan said softly: "But I'm also bored staying here."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xinyue took Tonghua's arm and said, "Even if you're bored, you have to stay here. Don't forget that today is the first time our parents officially meet. You have to behave well."
Tong Zhengyuan sat down again and said reluctantly, "Okay."
