Chapter 137 Returning to the Company

He cannot directly refuse or object.

Since Dou Qiaoyun specially arranged this dinner party today, it's either to surprise him or to catch him off guard.

Moreover, judging from the way Dong Yue'e and Qiao Ni'er happily accepted the appointment, it was clear that the three of them had discussed it beforehand.

If he directly says no, firstly, it might affect their mother-son relationship, and secondly, it would be awkward for Dou Qiaoyun and Dong Yue'e to meet in the future.

It would be better to take advantage of this opportunity, when Qiaoni takes the initiative to back down, to suppress Dou Qiaoyun's thoughts for now, and then make a long-term plan later.

After a moment of silence, he said to Dou Qiaoyun, "I have nothing now, how can I get married..."

Dou Qiaoyun immediately interrupted: "Settling down and establishing a career, doesn't that mean you have to settle down before you can establish a career? When I married your father, he had nothing! But we've lived a pretty good life since then!"

Zhang Pengfei was a little annoyed.

As far back as he can remember, his parents worked tirelessly from dawn till dusk. After finishing his work in the fields, his father would also have to do odd jobs to earn money to supplement the family income. Every time he came home, his hands were covered in blisters!

Zhang Pengfei's deepest impression is of his mother squatting on the ground popping his father's blisters. Every time he thinks of this, he studies and does his homework with extra diligence.

He really couldn't understand how Dou Qiaoyun could think that those hard times were so good!

“Mom, things are different now than they were back then!” Zhang Pengfei was very filial, and even though he had some complaints in his heart, he put it very tactfully: “Besides, you should have told me in advance.”

Dou Qiaoyun frowned, her voice clearly displeased: "Marriage is arranged by parents, what does it have to do with whether you say so or not? Besides, you know Qiaoni'er, you two have met eight hundred times, and I can tell you're quite interested in her!"

"No!" Zhang Pengfei hissed and gasped. "Where did you get the idea that I'm interested in her?"

Dou Qiaoyun curled her lips and snorted: "Every time Qiaoni comes, you serve her tea and water. Isn't that showing interest in her?"

That was just politeness out of sheer courtesy!

Dou Qiaoyun's gaze was deep, clearly lost in some distant memory: "Back in our day, if we weren't interested in someone, we wouldn't even glance at them. We'd only come out to offer them water if we really liked them."

Zhang Pengfei took a deep breath and looked speechlessly at the bright and sunny sky.

Between him and Dou Qiaoyun, it wasn't just a generation gap, it was practically an entire Mariana Trench!

He looked to Chen Jingyang for help, but Chen Jingyang raised an eyebrow and shook his head slightly, his meaning clear: I can't help you, you have to figure it out yourself!

Chen Jingyang felt it was inappropriate for him to interrupt on this topic.

Moreover, Dou Qiaoyun had already shown some dissatisfaction with him earlier, and he didn't want to offend her now.

"Sigh!" Zhang Pengfei had no choice but to speak again: "Mom, think about it, yes, I'm working now, but what can I do with the little salary I earn?"

He asked Dou Qiaoyun, "Do you want me to take Qiaoni back to the village to farm our six mu of land?"

Dou Qiaoyun opened her mouth, then wisely closed it again.

Of course not!

Zhang Pengfei is a college student, a student at Peking University, how could he go back to his hometown to farm?

That would be incredibly embarrassing!

Zhang Pengfei spoke calmly and unhurriedly: "And what about Huahua? Should we send her back to the village to go to school?"

That won't work either!

Hua Hua is so happy here! She eats well, lives well, and studies well. That's why she can't bear to let Hua Hua go back to the village!

"Also, all our expenses are being covered by Jingyang. With all this debt, how can I possibly think about getting married? And what if I do get married? Are we going to sleep on the streets with her?"

A few questions left Dou Qiaoyun speechless. In the city, even drinking water costs money. Zhang Pengfei only earns a little over ten thousand yuan a month. Let alone getting married, he can't even support her and Huahua!

Dou Qiaoyun's face flushed red and then turned pale, and she tried to excuse herself by saying, "I'm just anxious! You're so old and you don't even have a boyfriend. When I was 22, you were already born!"

Zhang Pengfei wanted to say yes!

He has a girlfriend!

The word "have" roared in his heart like a stampede of ten thousand horses, a thunderous roar like a tsunami, almost bursting out of his chest and shattering his eardrums!

But he couldn't say.

Chen Jingyang seemed to have heard him. In the meantime while playing with Hua Hua, he quietly approached him and squeezed his fingers.

Zhang Pengfei scratched his palm in response.

Their eyes met, and they smiled knowingly.

Dou Qiaoyun is a very difficult hurdle to overcome. It seems that everything has returned to the starting point, but it is not the starting point!

Having gone through so much, Chen Jingyang thought to himself that nothing in this world, except life and death, could separate him from Zhang Pengfei!

But fate seemed determined to prove it right.

Chen Jingyang never expected that he would soon be separated from Zhang Pengfei, and that he would be the one to give up on the spot!

After returning from the health and wellness community, Zhang Pengfei and Chen Jingyang began to seriously consider Qiaoni'er's marriage.

I can't help but worry. Qiaoni is always hanging around Dou Qiaoyun. If she doesn't find a home soon, she might actually become the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family!

Dr. Qin is a very suitable candidate. In Chen Jingyang's opinion, she is definitely a good match for Qiaonier.

Zhang Pengfei also thought Dr. Qin was very good, but the problem was that Qiaonier didn't think so.

With such a brilliant example as Zhang Pengfei, who would want to look at Dr. Qin's worthless work?

"What should we do?" Zhang Pengfei asked Chen Jingyang, "Is there any way to make Qiaoni fall in love with Dr. Qin?"

There are solutions, of course. A master like Chen Jingyang can even turn a straight man like Zhang Pengfei gay, so how could he possibly do anything to Qiaonier?

He had already figured it out: Qiao Ni'er's family was a complete mess, and the whole family was hoping to profit from her.

Chen Jingyang's method was very simple: to add another straw to Qiao Ni'er's already precarious life.

He had a meal with the HR manager of the health and wellness center, and then Qiao Nier received a dismissal notice.

When Qiao Nier came out of the manager's office, she was completely stunned!

What should she do? What should her mother do?

Should I start looking for a job right away?

Putting aside whether other places are hiring or not, even if they were, would they allow her to bring Dong Yue'e to work?

Can you arrange a single room for her?

Helplessness, confusion, worry, fear, despair...

At that moment, Choni suddenly longed for the world to be destroyed!

Just then, Dr. Qin arrived and overcame numerous difficulties to allow her to stay.

What happened next was quite cliché: Dr. Qin successfully won the heart of his beloved.

On the day of their wedding, Zhang Pengfei also successfully obtained his lawyer's license.

He waved the little red booklet in front of Chen Jingyang quite conspicuously: "Comrade Chen Jingyang, please call me Lawyer Zhang from now on."

Chen Jingyang smiled, kissed the little red book, and was about to push him down when his phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw it was Lin Zheyan.

"There's been a problem at Stanley Morse, get back to the office immediately!"
