Chapter 117 The Engagement Banquet Must Be Grand Enough
Zhou's father's face was terribly gloomy. He slowly stood up, his eyes as sharp as a knife, piercing straight at Zhou Yushen.
"Do you think you have a choice?" Zhou's father's voice was as cold as ice. "The Zhou family is the foundation of the entire Zhou family. If you insist on not marrying, don't blame me for being rude."
Zhou Yushen stood where he was, his back straight, his eyes fixed on his father without giving in.
His fingers unconsciously rubbed his cufflinks, his fingertips feeling slightly cold, but his tone remained firm, "Dad, I will solve the Zhou family's problem, but I will never compromise on the marriage."
Father Zhou sneered, a fierce glint in his eyes: "Not willing to compromise? Fine, then don't blame me for being cruel. From today on, you are no longer the president of Zhou Corporation, nor the heir to the Zhou family. I will remove your name from the family tree, leaving you with nothing!"
When Zhou's mother heard this, her face turned pale and she quickly grabbed Zhou's father's arm, "Old man, don't be impulsive! Ah Shen was just confused for a moment, let's try to persuade him..."
Father Zhou shook off Mother Zhou's hand and stared at Zhou Yushen intently, "I'm giving you one last chance. Either agree to the marriage or get out of the Zhou family!"
Zhou Yushen clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms. The pain allowed him to maintain his last bit of sanity.
He knew that his father was a man of his words, and if he continued to insist, the consequences would be disastrous.
Yun Zheng's figure suddenly flashed through his mind, and an absurd idea instantly came to his mind.
If Yun Zheng knew that he was getting engaged, would she come back to find him?
This thought was like a flash of lightning, instantly breaking through the haze in his heart.
"Okay, I agree." Zhou Yushen's voice suddenly rang out, breaking the deadlock in the room.
Zhou's father was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting him to suddenly change his mind.
Zhou's mother breathed a sigh of relief, a relieved smile on her face.
"What did you say?" Zhou's father narrowed his eyes, his tone full of suspicion.
Zhou Yushen raised his head and looked at his father calmly: "I said, I agree to the marriage."
"What are the conditions?" Zhou's father looked at Zhou Yushen with a sullen face and spoke in a cold voice.
No one knows a son better than his father. Zhou Yushen would never give in so easily.
Zhou Yushen looked at his father and slowly stated his conditions, "The engagement party must be grand and everyone must know about it."
Zhou's father frowned slightly, clearly puzzled by his condition. But soon, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. "That's more like it. Don't worry, I will personally arrange the engagement banquet and will never bring shame to the Zhou family."
Mother Zhou also smiled and patted Zhou Yushen's arm. "A Shen, I'm glad you figured it out. Although Zhuzhu grew up in the village, she has a gentle personality. After all, she is the real daughter of the Yun family and deserves you."
Zhou Yushen did not respond, but just nodded lightly.
His gaze passed over his parents and fell on the gray sky outside the window, but his mind had already begun to plan his next move.
He knew that this engagement party would be his only chance to lure Yun Zheng out.
Yun Zheng still cared about him. If she knew that he and Yun Ruzhu were going to get engaged, she would definitely show up.
I don’t know who gave Zhou Yushen this confidence, but he is just too confident.
On the other side, Yun Zheng and Fu Linghe had just arrived at the resort.
After getting out of the car, Fu Linghe walked around to the other side like a gentleman, opened the door for Yun Zheng, and said with a smile, "We're here, Zheng Zheng."
Yun Zheng took a deep breath of the air filled with the fragrance of grass and trees, and a comfortable smile appeared on her face.
She looked at Fu Linghe's big hand in front of her, put her warm little hand on it, and let him help her get out of the car.
“The scenery here is really beautiful and the air is fresh.”
Seeing that she liked it here, Fu Linghe couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth in a doting arc.
"We've been in the car for such a long time, let's go to the hotel and rest for a while." He took her suitcase out of the trunk.
Holding her hand with one hand and pushing the suitcase with the other, he walked towards the hotel.
Yun Zheng was standing at the hotel front desk when she heard the waiter's slightly apologetic voice, "Sorry, both of you, we only have one deluxe suite left at the moment. The other rooms are all full."
She was stunned for a moment and subconsciously turned to look at Fu Linghe.
Fu Linghe looked normal, only slightly raised his eyebrows, and said calmly, "It's okay, this one will do."
Yun Zheng opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't speak.
Anyway, they have been staying in the same room during this period, so there is nothing wrong with staying in the same hotel together.
She looked down at her toes, her ears slightly red.
Fu Linghe noticed her discomfort, patted her shoulder gently, and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll sleep on the sofa."
Yun Zheng looked up at him and felt a little relieved when she saw that he looked calm. However, she still felt a little embarrassed and muttered softly, "This isn't good... How about we look for another hotel?"
Yun Zheng had learned from her last experience. Fu Linghe's height was not suitable for sleeping on the sofa. It looked too cramped.
Fu Linghe smiled and said gently, "This is the only resort nearby. The other hotels are far away. Besides, it's getting late now, so it's not convenient to go any further. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."
Yun Zheng hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, "Okay."
After completing the check-in formalities, the two went upstairs together.
The room is spacious and bright, with a simple and elegant decoration style. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is a lush mountain view. The rising sun shines in, giving the room a warm golden color.
Fu Linghe put the suitcase aside and turned to Yun Zheng, saying, "You must be hungry. Go take a shower and relax. I'll ask them to bring lunch up."
Yun Zheng nodded obediently, picked up her toiletries and walked into the bathroom.
It was already quite awkward for the two of them to be in the same room, so Yun Zheng would just try to hide whenever possible. As long as she didn't have a head-on collision with Fu Linghe, it would be better than anything else.
Yun Zheng lay down in the bathtub. The warm water washed over her body, relaxing her tense nerves a little.
Fu Linghe insisted on taking her with him on his business trip, and she didn't know what was wrong with her, but she actually went with him.
These past two days she has either been on the road or on her way to the road. Although she has been here for a day or two, she still hasn't adjusted to the time difference.
It would be nice to come to the resort to relax and relieve her fatigue from the past few days.
