After saying that, Zhou Zhan went towards the kitchen with a smile on his face, leaving Li Xiaoya and Huang Tinggan standing there, watching Zhou Zhan's back as he walked away with a happy look on his face.
Huang Tinggan turned around and looked at Li Xiaoya only after his grandmother's back disappeared behind the door.
"Come on, I'll take you inside first. We have a garden in the backyard. I'll show you around."
Li Xiaoya retracted her gaze, thinking that since she had agreed to stay for dinner, she might as well take a walk around, and nodded.
"Okay, let's go for a walk around."
In this way, Huang Tinggan took Li Xiaoya to the garden in the backyard. At this moment, Zhou Zhan, who had just arrived at the kitchen door, turned a corner, entered a room, picked up the microphone beside him, and dialed a number quickly.
After the call was picked up, Zhou Zhan held the receiver and spoke slyly to the person on the other end of the line.
"Son, you should have a good talk with your daughter-in-law later and tell her that you guys are coming back for dinner tonight. I didn't tell you anything, ha? I just said that I was passing by and wanted to have dinner with mom. I didn't expect that my grandson also brought his grandson's wife with him, so it's a good time for the family to have a reunion dinner."
The main point is that someone just happened to pass by, it’s not the news she spread!
Otherwise, if her granddaughter-in-law knew that she was invited to dinner and also notified Huang Tinggan's parents, which was equivalent to meeting her parents, and if she blamed her, she would not come to dinner next time, or even break up with her grandson directly. Then where could she find such a good granddaughter-in-law?
Huang Xin held the microphone and listened to his mother's chatter, frowning.
"I know, Mom. We are not stupid people. How could we say that we deliberately go back to have a reunion dinner?"
His son has been silent for so many years, and now that he has finally come to his senses and brought a daughter-in-law home, he naturally cannot mess this up, otherwise his wife will definitely not forgive him.
The mother and son exchanged a few words before hanging up the phone. Satisfied, Zhou Zhan went to the kitchen to arrange tonight's meal. Since his grandson's wife had finally agreed to stay for dinner, tonight's dinner had to be sumptuous.
On the other side, Huang Xin went to another office after hanging up the phone. His wife Tao Jiafen was looking at today's business report and income report in the office. When she saw Huang Xin walk into her office, she glanced at him lightly, then continued to browse back and forth through the data in the report, and asked casually.
"Who called just now? What did they say?"
Although the couple have their own business, Tao Jiafen has always been in charge of financial statements and profit and loss statements. After all, Huang Xin hates dealing with numbers the most. Fortunately, he doesn't like dealing with numbers, but he is very good at doing business with external parties.
Rather than saying that the couple opened several factories, it would be better to say that the couple opened several factories together. The man was responsible for negotiating business and signing orders, while the woman was responsible for the data reports at home, telling the man which place was losing money, which place was making more money, and how to charge more. The main strategy was that the man was the breadwinner outside and the woman was the homemaker.
This kind of cooperation has lasted for many years. As for Huang Xin and Tao Jiafen, their factories have become bigger and bigger, and their business has become more and more prosperous.
They are a model of business couples cooperating in business. Fortunately, over the years, although Huang Xin and Tao Jiafen have grown their business, their relationship as husband and wife is still harmonious. At least they don't have mistresses or anything like that. They have come this far with all the bumps and bruises along the way.
My son is growing up slowly. He has been serving in the army for many years. He is getting older and older, but unfortunately he has never found a girlfriend.
While doing business, the worried couple was worried all day long that their son would not be able to find a wife. They were so worried that their hair was about to fall out. Fortunately, Zhou Zhan called them today and told them that his son suddenly fell in love. Not only that, he also brought his girlfriend to the family boutique to purchase goods, saying that he was preparing to do boutique business, and asked the couple to go back early.
Huang Xin and Tao Jiafen were so excited that they planned to finish their work and go back for the reunion dinner. However, before they could get home, his mother called again. Who knew she wanted to explain what happened again?
Thinking of this, Tao Jiafen stared at her man intently, and saw Huang Xin sitting down on the sofa beside her, slowly pouring a cup of tea for her, taking a sip, and then slowly speaking.
"What else can I say? She told me to put down my work early and go back for the reunion dinner. She also specifically told me not to show that I knew my son brought his girlfriend home, and not to reveal that it was Mom who told us. I had to pretend to be a casual visitor and just stop by for a quick meal."
After hearing what her husband said, Tao Jiafen put down the report in her hand, raised her eyebrows and asked.
"Oh, so careful? Is that girl being pretentious?"
"I'm not being pretentious. Mom said the girl originally didn't agree to stay for dinner, but Mom played the victim, saying that she was an elderly widower left alone at home and felt lonely even eating. That's how the girl took pity on her and stayed to have dinner with Mom. If we go back, it will be like meeting the parents directly, which will put a lot of pressure on the girl. It's better to pretend to go back casually. I planned to go home to have dinner with the elderly, but I didn't expect to meet my son and his wife. I have to show surprise and surprise, understand?"
Hearing her husband's explanation so hard, how could Tao Jiafen not understand? She said with a smile.
"Oh, I see. The main idea is that everyone pretends not to know each other, goes back to have a meal, and if they bump into each other by chance, it's an accident!"
After all, she is a little girl. It is her first time to eat at the man's house. If her parents and elders are all there, it will be really stressful. If he were in her place, he would also feel that the food and drinks are not good enough.
Huang Tinggan’s grandmother was thoughtful enough to pretend that they accidentally bumped into each other while having dinner together, so that the pressure wouldn’t be so great!
Seeing that his wife understood what he meant, Huang Xin stood up and said with a smile.
"Yes, that's right. Just act casually and don't be too exaggerated. Otherwise, our son will finally find a girlfriend, but if we scare her away, it will be a big loss!"
"Don't worry, your wife's acting skills are absolutely amazing!"
Just like that, after the couple finished their discussion, they quickly got down to work, finished the task at hand as quickly as possible, and went home quickly.
Of course, on the way home, the couple knew better than anyone that they hadn't finished their work. They were mainly concerned about their son's girlfriend and wanted to go back and see what she looked like. So they had no time to work and might as well go back and see her early.
Here, Li Xiaoya followed Huang Tinggan for a walk in the garden at the back and was shocked to find that Huang Tinggan's family background was richer than she had imagined. Many of the flowers planted in the yard were rare varieties and had to be airlifted from China.
