Chapter 243 Cultural Differences

"I will, thanks mom."

Zhang Wei was particularly moved that so many people loved her. She suddenly felt that the meaning of starting her life over again was to find someone who loved her among billions of people and experience different emotions in this world.

Back home in London, Leida and Manny both have their own residences. Originally, only Namir and Zhang Wei would live at home. Namir competes all over the world, and this year Zhang Wei went to study in Country A, so the house became deserted.

Charles, who had something to do and was not going home for dinner that night, turned down the dinner invitation and went home for dinner when he heard from his wife that his daughter had brought her boyfriend home.

Compared to Emma's kind attitude, Charles looked very serious, which made Paris feel a little pressured.

The atmosphere was a little quiet during dinner. Emma had no intention of speaking, obviously giving the floor to her husband.

In fact, the Wilsons' way of getting along at home is generally a bit like the domestic situation where the man works outside and the woman works inside, except that the chores at home are done by the servants, and Emma mainly takes care of some trivial matters in the children's growth.

But as a father, Charles is never absent at some important moments in his children's lives. They are a very responsible pair of parents.

Zhang Wei's failure to tell them in advance did catch the parents off guard, but considering that their daughter is already in her twenties, they can't help but worry about her if she doesn't have a boyfriend for a long time.

So although Charles and his wife were a little surprised, they were relieved in their hearts. Their daughter was enjoying her life, and love is an indispensable and important experience in life.

Although this was the truth, Charles still felt a little unhappy when he saw the boyfriend his daughter brought back. He cleared his throat and said,

"Paris, how is your father doing?"

Hearing his future father-in-law finally speak, Paris immediately replied:

"Uncle, my father asked me to say hello to you on his behalf. He has been doing well recently and asked me to bring you a gift."

Charles nodded and said, "Thank you, father." After a few polite words, he immediately said something shocking:

"Vera once said that the most appropriate age for marriage is 28 or older. I think you have the same opinion as her, right?"

Zhang Wei’s eyes widened immediately after hearing this. Wait, when did she say that?

We've just met, and why are you talking about marriage? Is it moving so fast?

Paris was momentarily flustered when asked this question. He looked at Zhang Wei and said, "I, I agree with Vera's idea."

Zhang Wei then remembered that it seemed like a long time ago that the family watched a movie together and chatted for a while. Unexpectedly, Charles remembered it.

Charles nodded after hearing Paris's answer.

"Young people should get to know each other better to be sure they have found their ideal partner. Vera is just too reserved. I always think she needs to get to know more outstanding people of the opposite sex to know what she wants."

"It's just that she's been concentrating on her studies and hasn't spent too much time on this. It's a good thing you've known each other for a long time."

This is almost like saying: You got a great deal, if my daughter wasn't too busy to look for it, it wouldn't be your turn.

In short, Zhang Wei also understood. Charles' idea was that even though he brought her back, he should not get married casually. He should be more selective and not hang himself on the same tree.

Paris finally felt the lethality of his future father-in-law. Seeing Zhang Wei nodding obediently after hearing his father's words, he couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis. After all, he had met a suitor of Zhang Wei before.

He didn't know that this time when he came to London, he would face even more difficult challenges.

Paris stayed at Zhang Wei's house that night. Emma arranged a guest room for him and secretly warned Zhang Wei:

"No matter what, you can't live with this brat within my sight!"

Zhang Wei quickly waved her hands and explained, "No, I always live at home in New York City and never go out overnight!"

Emma's eyes widened: "You're the one who brought him home to spend the night?"

She didn't expect that her daughter, who looked like a nun and had emotional hygienic tendencies, would bring a man home to spend the night.

"No, no, he lives in his own house!" Zhang Wei quickly denied.

At this time Emma frowned and asked: "Is he a Catholic?"

Zhang Wei didn't understand why Emma asked this for a moment. She thought about it and denied it. She had never heard that Paris was a religious person.

During the next few days of staying at Wilson's house, Paris was constantly scrutinized from head to toe by his future mother-in-law, which sometimes made him feel uneasy.

Finally, the night before Zhang Wei left, Emma chatted with her alone and found out that Catholics forbid premarital sex.

After ruling out the possibility that Paris was a Catholic, Emma began to suspect that he had some unspeakable physical problems. She even taught Zhang Wei how to verify this, which made her blush.

At this moment, she finally felt deeply what cultural differences were. In her heart, she was still a somewhat conservative woman under the traditional Chinese culture.

Although she and Paris had known each other for a long time, they had only confirmed their relationship for two or three months. At most, they held hands and kissed briefly. It was too fast for Zhang Wei to talk about this.

Fortunately, Paris had no complaints and always got along with Zhang Wei at a pace that she could adapt to. This allowed Zhang Wei, who had closed her heart to the opposite sex for many years, to slowly open up.

Zhang Wei could only explain to Emma with difficulty that there should be nothing wrong with Paris's health, and asked her not to let the secret slip in front of Paris.

If the Wilsons were only considering Paris secretly, then Zhang Wei's friends were openly provoking Paris.

Because this was Tracy's important day, all of her roommates in Devon who she got along well with arrived in London.

They have always been in contact. Including Zhang Wei, only three of them are still continuing their studies. Tracy finished her graduate studies, and Butch graduated from university and started living the life of hanging out with friends that she liked. Hayat also started working after finishing her graduate studies. What Zhang Wei could not have imagined was that Hayat actually became an investment banking elite, looking like a complete urban female devil.

Alia is also continuing her doctoral studies, also in a medical-related major, but she is not studying for her doctorate in Hong Kong, but in Singapore.

Ever since she went to study in Hong Kong and came into contact with some Chinese culture, she decided to live in the Chinese cultural circle and completely bid farewell to the past.

This time, attending Tracy's engagement ceremony was the first time that Alia returned to London after so many years of graduation. Zhang Wei had not seen her in person for many years, although they had contacted her through video and phone calls.

The day after Zhang Wei came back, she received an invitation to a party from her roommates, and they emphasized that she should not bring her boyfriend. So Zhang Wei had to apologize and let Paris go around London by herself before going to the party with her roommates.
