Chapter 394: Facing Together
Li Dong then told Zhu Ying in detail how he heard the news from the security guard and how he questioned Luo Ye.
"I didn't expect Luo Ye to be such a scheming person."
After listening to Li Dong's words, Zhu Ying sighed.
Before, she thought Luo Ye was just a simple girl who liked Li Dong, but she didn't expect that she would be such a scheming person.
"Indeed, I misjudged her before. I have to be careful when I get along with her in the future."
Li Dong nodded in agreement.
After a pause, Li Dong continued, "Xiaoying, I was actually wrong before. I shouldn't have concealed your occupation from my parents. I didn't think this through well."
"It has already happened. It's useless for you to complain here. Li Dong, we should now think of a way to gain the approval of our uncle and aunt."
Zhu Ying shook his head and expressed his opinion.
"Xiaoying, you are right. It is meaningless for us to complain here. Are you willing to accompany me to meet my parents and explain things to them face to face?"
Li Dong nodded, agreeing with Zhu Ying's words.
Zhu Ying nodded at first, then a look of embarrassment appeared on her face.
"Why, you don't want to go with me?" Seeing Zhu Ying's hesitation, Li Dong said a little discouraged.
"Of course not. I am willing to face everything with you. I am just worried that after my uncle knows my identity, he will be even more against us being together."
Zhu Ying expressed her inner concerns.
If her job as a lobby manager in a bar would only make Li Dong's parents complain about her, then her status as a wealthy person would definitely make Li Dong's father absolutely disagree with them being together.
Zhu Ying's words made Li Dong realize that the biggest problem facing them was not that Zhu Ying worked in a bar, but her true identity.
For a moment, the two fell silent. If they rashly revealed Zhu Ying's identity to Li Dong's parents, it might make Li Dong's mother let go of her prejudice against Zhu Ying.
But the hurdle of Li Dong’s father was a gap they could not cross.
"Xiaoying, didn't you say before that Xiaojin would ask Uncle Chen to help persuade my dad? Ask Xiaojin about his situation after dinner."
Li Dong thought of what Zhu Ying had mentioned to her about Yun Jin before, and asked.
After being reminded by Li Dong, Zhu Ying remembered that there were people around her who could help them. She nodded happily and quickly started eating the food in the bowl.
After dinner, Zhu Ying couldn't wait to call Yun Jin:
"Xiao Jin, did Uncle Chen go to see Li Dong's parents? What's the specific situation?"
"Uncle Chen went to the hotel to persuade Uncle Li and Auntie, but the situation was not very ideal."
Because she didn't get any good news, Yun Jin didn't tell Zhu Ying that Chen Zhi had already visited Li Dong's parents.
"Is that so?" After hearing Yun Jin's answer, Zhu Ying sighed helplessly.
Looking at Zhu Ying who hung up the phone silently, Li Dong realized that the situation was not good. He comforted her, "It doesn't matter. If Uncle Chen can't do it, I still have him. I am their biological son. For my lifelong happiness, they should compromise."
"But what if uncle and aunt force us not to be together?"
Li Dong's words did not comfort Zhu Ying at all.
"If it really doesn't work, we can just do it first and ask for permission later. We can get the certificate secretly first, and then when the matter is settled, they will have to agree even if they don't agree."
Li Dong told his plan.
"No, I've hurt my parents before because of something like this. This time, I can't do this again."
Li Dong's words aroused Zhu Ying's strong opposition.
Zhu Ying's words made Li Dong realize that this was how the other party's first marriage came about. He regretted saying that just now.
"Xiaoying, I didn't think so much just now. Don't worry, I won't let you do that again. This time, I will definitely let you marry into our family in a grand manner, and let the elders on both sides bless us at the same time."
The next second, Li Dong said seriously.
Looking at Li Dong's sincere face, Zhu Ying nodded vigorously. She believed what he said and also believed that he would do it.
The two agreed that after Li Dong got off work, they would go to the hotel where Li Dong's parents were staying and talk things out in person.
At 6 p.m., outside a small hotel room not far from the tax bureau, Li Dong held Zhu Ying's hand with one hand and knocked on the door with the other.
Before coming to the hotel, Li Dong called his parents separately, but as usual, the other party did not answer. Helplessly, he could only find the hotel where his parents were staying through Chen Zhi.
"Who?" A few seconds later, a familiar baritone voice came from inside the room.
"Dad, it's me, Xiaodong." Hearing the response, Li Dong replied hurriedly.
"We don't want to see you, go away!" Hearing Li Dong's voice, Li Dong's father's impatient voice came into the ears of Li Dong and Zhu Ying through the gate.
"Dad, let's talk it out face to face. There's no point in you hiding from me." Seeing this, Li Dong persuaded.
"What are you going to do?" Then, a low growl came from Li Dong's father inside.
The next second, the door was opened from the inside. Li Dong's mother, who had opened the door, saw Zhu Ying beside Li Dong, and her smiling face instantly fell.
"I told you not to open the door, but you refused to listen. Now what?"
Li Dong's father, who also saw Zhu Ying, began to complain to his wife.
"Uncle, aunt, hello!" Ignoring the dissatisfaction of Li Dong's parents, Zhu Ying greeted them with a smile, and walked in with Li Dong.
"Miss Zhu, people from ordinary families like us cannot afford to marry a lady like you, please go back!"
From Chen Zhi, Li Dong's parents had already learned of Zhu Ying's identity. As soon as the two walked in, Li Dong's father ordered Zhu Ying to leave.
"Dad, Xiaoying came to see you with good intentions, why are you talking like that?"
Dissatisfied with his father's attitude towards Zhu Ying, Li Dong defended his son.
"Look, this is the son you gave birth to!" Being accused by Li Dong, Li Dong's father turned to look at his wife and scolded her.
"Dad, this is none of Mom's business, don't talk nonsense about her."
Seeing that his father was taking his anger out on his mother, Li Dong, who had always had a good relationship with his mother, spoke up for her.
"A loving mother often spoils her child. If your mother hadn't spoiled you all this time, would you have become so lawless now that you don't even listen to me?"
Li Dong's father immediately scolded Li Dong because his authority as the head of the family was challenged.
"Dad, if what you say is right, I will definitely listen to it, but if it is wrong, why should I listen to it?"
Li Dong argued with reason.
"You are really rebellious. How long have you been in Binhai? You have become so arrogant. Let me show you how I will deal with you."
After Li Dong's father finished speaking, he raised his palm and pointed it at Li Dong's cheek.
The next second, his hand was stopped by someone. Li Dong's father stared at Li Dong in disbelief, unable to believe that he dared to confront him.
From childhood to adulthood, Li Dong has always been a docile child. Generally, Li Dong would listen to whatever he said. When did he become so powerful?
Li Dong's changes made his father feel unfamiliar.
Li Dong's next words shocked his father even more: "Dad, you can't be prejudiced against all rich people just because of your previous experience."
"Xiaoying is the person I have chosen for my life. Whether you agree or not, I will be with her."
