Chapter 444 Is your surname Zhou? Why does your son have the surname Li?
Zhou Yong frowned slightly. After listening to Li Caiyun's words, he said, "Go to sleep. We have a tough battle tomorrow. You should be mentally prepared. Whether Goudan can get what he wants depends on tomorrow..."
Regarding the meeting between the two parties tomorrow, Zhou Yong predicted that there would not be a very good result. After all, the facts are out there, and there is no telling how Jiang Ziqing's parents will make things difficult for the couple.
Li Caiyun couldn't help but sigh: "Zhou Yong, I have no idea."
Zhou Yong hugged Li Caiyun and patted her on the back: "It's okay, don't you still have me?"
Li Caiyun sighed softly: "Gou Sheng is the same, he is always unreasonable. This kid is not good at anything."
Things have already happened, and there is no point in blaming Li Jingen. Besides, it was all misunderstanding caused by random conversations. Zhou Yong could only say that this was a test from God for Li Jingchu and Jiang Ziqing.
Li Caiyun yawned, muttered a few words to herself, and then fell asleep. The main reason was that the couple had traveled a long distance to get here. Not only did they not get any rest after getting off the plane, but they also had to help Li Jingen clean up the house, which already made Li Caiyun exhausted.
She fell asleep, but Zhou Yong kept his eyes wide open and didn't feel sleepy until around ten o'clock in the evening, when he finally dozed off.
The couple went to bed at five o'clock. When they appeared in the living room, Li Jingen was still sleeping soundly on the sofa with his legs hunched!
Zhou Yong slapped Li Jingen on the butt, instantly waking him up.
Li Jingen opened his eyes and stared at Zhou Yong in a daze. After a few seconds, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Dad, you scared me to death."
Li Jingen lives alone and is usually alone at home. He was suddenly woken up by a slap in the face, which really scared him.
Zhou Yong had a faint smile in his eyes: "Are you still not getting up?"
Li Jingen looked at the time and saw that it was only five o'clock, and he couldn't help but wail.
"Dad, it's only five o'clock now. I have to go to work at eight o'clock. Why are you getting up so early?"
Li Caiyun shook her head helplessly: "Hurry up and go for a walk with us."
Li Jingen looked like he had lost all hope in life, but he said, "Okay."
Zhou Yong smiled, and Li Jingen stretched and got up quickly to wash up.
Li Caiyun took the sheets and pillows on the sofa into the bedroom. While Li Jingen was washing his face and brushing his teeth, she put the clothes washed yesterday into the closet.
After Li Jingen packed up, the three of them strolled to the nearby morning market.
They had fried dough sticks and soy milk for breakfast, and then bought some fruits at the vegetable market and brought them home.
At 7:30 Li Jingen went to work, and at 8 o'clock Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun went to stroll around the nearby department store.
The couple strolled around for several rounds and didn't buy anything, mainly because they had everything they needed.
It was not yet ten o'clock when they came out of the department store. Li Caiyun was a little tired, so the couple took a rest and then went to Wangfujing for a stroll.
The couple did not feel bored at all throughout the morning. They had lunch outside, went back to take a nap in the afternoon, and in the evening, accompanied by Li Jingchu, went to the hotel to meet Jiang Ziqing's parents.
Wow, there are quite a lot of Jiang family members here, about eleven or twelve.
Jiang Ziqing introduced them to each other, and everyone shook hands and took their seats in turn.
"Your last name is Zhou? Why is your son's last name Li?"
As soon as everyone sat down, Jiang Ziqing's uncle Xie Kun asked this question with a puzzled look on his face.
As soon as he said this, Jiang Ziqing's face froze and a look of displeasure appeared in his eyes.
Li Jingchu's face didn't look good either, because he had told Jiang Ziqing why his last name was Li. How could Xie Kun not know this? It was obvious that he was deliberately embarrassing Zhou Yong.
Li Caiyun, who was standing by, could hardly hold back the smile on her face. She was so angry that she almost overturned the table and left.
Jiang Ziqing looked at her uncle Xie Kun with a blaming look, but he didn't seem to care. Jiang Ziqing's parents didn't say a word, pretending they didn't hear anything.
The others all had their own thoughts and looked at Zhou Yong, wanting to hear what he would say.
But Zhou Yong smiled and said softly: "I am a live-in son-in-law, so Jingchu doesn't have my last name."
The fact that he is the son-in-law of the Li family is a fact, and there is nothing that cannot be said.
Besides, he himself didn't take it seriously, so what others would think of him or how they viewed him was completely out of Zhou Yong's consideration.
Xie Kun pretended to be surprised and raised his voice, as if he knew something shocking: "You are actually a live-in son-in-law? I really didn't realize it."
Zhou Yong secretly raised his eyebrows, and his words were full of needles: "How can you see this kind of thing with your eyes?"
Xie Kun felt embarrassed. He twitched the corners of his mouth and an embarrassed look appeared on his face.
Jiang Ziqing was depressed, but Xie Kun was her elder after all, and all the family members were present, so she couldn't say anything else and could only be angry.
Li Jingchu looked at his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, and the couple could no longer pretend to be dead. Jiang Changfeng smiled and took over the conversation: "I'm really sorry, my brother-in-law is a straightforward person, please bear with me..."
Zhou Yong smiled and said, "Director Jiang, don't worry, I am still tolerant."
Normally, according to social etiquette and interpersonal relationship norms, Zhou Yong should call Jiang Changfeng "Brother Jiang" to express respect and closeness. However, on this particular occasion, Zhou Yong did not address Jiang Changfeng as usual.
That was due to the subtle atmosphere when the two sides introduced themselves. When introducing themselves, the Jiang family members specifically reported the names of their units and positions. This move was obviously intended to show Zhou Yong their social status and family background.
The Jiang family was telling Zhou Yong that a family like theirs was not something that ordinary people could easily marry into.
Zhou Yong is a self-aware person. He is clear about his identity and status, and understands how he should behave in this situation.
Therefore, he chose to call Jiang Changfeng Director Jiang instead of the closer Brother Jiang.
Such a title not only expresses respect for Jiang Changfeng, but also avoids giving the Jiang family the impression of currying favor.
After Zhou Yong finished speaking, Jiang Ziqing couldn't help but glance at Li Jingchu. Jiang Changfeng laughed, and Xie Kun's matter was over.
Jiang Changfeng handed the menu to Zhou Yong: "I don't know what you like to eat, so we haven't ordered yet. You two can take a look at the menu and order whatever you like..."
Logically speaking, Jiang Changfeng and his wife should have ordered the dishes in advance, and when Zhou Yong and his family of three arrived, they should have asked them to order a few of their favorite dishes. This is the true way to entertain guests.
Zhou Yong didn't hesitate and took the menu with a smile. Since Jiang Changfeng told them to order whatever they wanted, he naturally wouldn't be polite.
Zhou Yong called the waiter into the private room, looked at the menu, and said at a moderate speed: "Abalone, deep-sea lobster, king crab, shark fin and bird's nest..."
As Zhou Yong spoke, Jiang Changfeng could hardly hold back the smile on his face, and the expressions on the others' faces were even more exciting.
Jiang Ziqing pursed her lips slightly, and she reached under the table and gently pulled Li Jingchu who was sitting next to her.
The two looked at each other, then looked away silently at the same time.
Li Jingchu pursed his lips. He knew his father's character well, so he reached under the table and held Jiang Ziqing's hand, meaning that she shouldn't worry.
How could Jiang Ziqing not be worried? Although the Jiang family could afford the dishes ordered by Zhou Yong, if things continued to develop in this way, it would be very disadvantageous for both of them.
