He immediately turned the steering wheel and drove away from the parking area.

Zhou Wenyi fiddled with the straps on her clothes, glancing at Gu Wei who was driving from time to time, her eyes showing a conflicted expression.

Gu Wei took in Zhou Wenyi's subtle expressions and movements through his peripheral vision and the rearview mirror.

He squeezed Zhou Wenyi's fingers. "What's wrong?"

“I… I haven’t decided whether to take you to meet my parents.” Zhou Wenyi started by saying this, and then the rest went much more smoothly. “In my imagination, meeting the parents should be something that happens naturally after we’ve talked for a long time, rather than meeting them because of some sudden event.”

What she didn't say was that her mother supported their relationship, but her father did not, and he was only persuaded to stop his strong opposition and obstruction.

Now that the incident of being filmed has occurred, even though Gu Wei is an innocent victim, her father may not see it that way.

If she were to speak harshly or say something unpleasant, it could very well cause her hard-won love to wither away.

Gu Wei originally planned to face the situation with Zhou Wenyi.

It was all caused by his historical issues that led to this trouble.

However, he is also willing to respect Zhou Wenyi's opinion.

After all, meeting the parents is no small matter.

The two had only recently started dating.

"Then take your time thinking. There are still more than 20 minutes until we reach our destination."

Zhou Wenyi rested her head on Gu Wei's body, feeling his body temperature and unique scent.

Even the longest journey has an end, let alone such a short one.

After the car entered the underground parking lot, Zhou Wenyi finally made her decision.

"Well, I'll go back alone."

"Okay, I'll go home first and wait for your message."

As soon as Gu Wei finished speaking, Zhou Wenyi leaned in and kissed him on the cheek.

Gu Wei could sense Zhou Wenyi's fear that he might overthink things or get angry, so he deliberately looked at her with a half-smile, "Stamp?"

Zhou Wenyi nodded with sparkling eyes, "Yes. Once you cover it, it's mine forever! No one can take it away!" She covered a few more before getting off the bus, then left reluctantly.

Gu Wei watched her enter the elevator, then waited a while before driving away.

Zhou Wenyi took a deep breath before entering her home and then used her fingerprint to unlock the door.

The living room was brightly lit.

The air was filled with the smell of smoke.

Zhou's parents sat down on the sofa on one side, and Zhou Wenbo sat opposite them.

Upon seeing Zhou Wenyi return, the three of them reacted with varying actions and expressions.

And he even glanced behind her without leaving a trace.

While changing her shoes, Zhou Wenyi pretended to be unhappy and said, "Dad, Mom, Brother, what do you mean by this?"

Zhou Wenbo leaned closer to her, sniffed, and asked, "Going out to eat alone? Not with your boyfriend?"

"Well, who says you can't go out to eat alone if you have a boyfriend?" Zhou Wenyi retorted confidently.

The three of them looked at each other across the distance, exchanging information with their eyes.

Since no one had come, Zhou's father, who had been putting on a show of bravado, changed his posture.

Zhou's mother relaxed, stepped forward, took Zhou Wenyi's hand, and led her to sit down on the single sofa.

Seeing the scene resembling a joint trial, Zhou Wenyi inexplicably felt like laughing.

Zhou's mother gently scolded, "You child, be serious! Don't you realize the seriousness of that video?" Then she subtly gestured towards her husband with her lips.

Zhou Wenyi, always adept at working with her mother, immediately understood. She sat up straight and said in a wronged tone, "Of course I realize! But we're victims too. Who would have thought that just going to the supermarket would lead to us running into Gu Wei's ex-girlfriend, whom we broke up with over a year ago, and then she'd cause a scene and make a scene. Then some busybody filmed it and posted it online, and now not only is the ex-girlfriend being criticized, but we're getting a lot of flak too! I really want to cry..."

Seeing his daughter's eyes redden and on the verge of tears, Mr. Zhou immediately felt sorry for her. "Don't cry! There are so many people online who say hurtful things and can't stand seeing others do well. Don't read those comments!"

Zhou Wenyi knew that her father loved her the most and couldn't bear to say anything harsh to her.

She concealed her complicated emotions, pretended to wipe her eyes, and then looked up to ask, "Dad, I only called my brother, how did you know?"

Zhou Wenbo hurriedly said, "I didn't tell him! Dad found it on his own..."

Zhou Wenbo originally planned to handle the matter quietly without letting his parents know.

Unfortunately, although Mr. and Mrs. Zhou are no longer young, they are still young at heart and enjoy playing with various software.

Mr. Zhou is an avid short video watcher.

As a result, they actually saw a video of their daughter arguing with her future son-in-law, whom she had never met.

I was incredibly shocked and exhilarated.

Mr. Zhou looked directly at Zhou Wenyi. "That's right. Daughter, your father and I have read it many times, and we understand most of your conversation. That boy suddenly agreed to date you when his friend had his birthday party. Is it really like what his ex-girlfriend said, that there's something going on?"

Concerned about whether her daughter had been deceived, Zhou's mother's expression turned serious. "Honey, you need to get to the bottom of this. Don't let love cloud your judgment. How's his shop doing? Has he encountered any problems?"

When Zhou Wenyi heard Lu Xue's words, she had a moment of doubt and uncertainty, but then she became determined.
