Congratulations.
When the headlights on the arched porch on the second floor were turned on, two people could be seen kissing passionately. Upon closer inspection, one of them was the third son of the Zheng family, and the other was also a man.
The third son of the Zheng family kissed a man?
There was a commotion among the guests downstairs. Some were surprised, some chose not to look, and some watched with great interest.
"The third son of the Zheng family... likes men?"
"I don't know. Does the Zheng family agree with this?"
"Who is that man?"
The guests whispered to each other and observed the Zheng family's reactions.
Zheng You had already disappeared into hiding. Chen Min looked towards the second floor with a gloomy expression. Zheng Sisi was the first to react and pretended to be indifferent:
"Oh my, my brother is such a fool! Even in the honeymoon period, you can't show off your affection like this. You're stealing mom's limelight, aren't you, sister?"
After saying that, she poked Zheng Miao.
"Oh, it's Chengcheng. I thought it was someone else. They are still in love. It feels like they have been dating for a long time." Zheng Miao also calmed down, deliberately raised his voice, and stopped looking at them.
Seeing that the Zheng family had become accustomed to it, the turbulent public opinion immediately changed direction.
"I've heard that Master Cheng likes men. They look like a good match."
"They are truly a family of Confucian merchants, with an open-minded family tradition, a harmonious family, and all their children are excellent."
"Mrs. Zheng, you already knew this a long time ago, right?"
Chen Min, who was originally furious, could not resist the praise and touched the necklace around her neck, regaining her compliments. "We always respect children's choices. As long as they like it, we support them."
"Oh, what's the big deal? There are quite a lot of men who like men now, right, Lao Hu." An aunt was holding snacks and eating while talking to the bald man in a flowered suit next to her.
"That's not right! Fangfang, this, this is not... this is not..." Hu Tianren, who was wearing a flowered suit, opened his mouth wide and loosened his hand holding the wine glass.
"Oh, don't lose face here." Aunt Fangfang caught his wine glass steadily. "Haven't you always wanted to find a good family for Hanhan? Isn't this the best? Come on, let's go take pictures in the yard."
"Han? Ah? A good family?" Hu Tianren didn't come to his senses until he was pushed away by Aunt Fangfang.
In the other corner, Zhou Min was leaning against the wall with a cup in his hand, looking at the hustle and bustle in the distance with a smile.
Those who were skeptical and frightened just now now regarded this as the Zheng family's Westernized style and even showed envious expressions.
【Congratulations. 】
Zhou Min sent a message, drank the champagne in one gulp, and then squeezed through the crowd and walked towards the door.
It was not until Zheng Yuan cleared his throat tactically that Zheng Cheng and Hu Hanyu reluctantly parted.
Guo Zengchen was tossed around, and watching the passionate scene between the two, he sobered up a lot and suddenly laughed heartily: "Good job, Hu Hanyu, the hero saved the damsel before me."
Hu Hanyu stood in front of Zheng Cheng vigilantly.
"Oh, you're quite manly. I felt it the first time I saw you. You really don't look like a Shanghainese." Guo Zengchen put his hands behind his back, walked up to him and looked him up and down. "Okay, you like Zheng Cheng, right? I'll give him to you."
"Old Chen, please send Xiao Guo off." Zheng Yuan spoke in a resounding voice.
The host ordered them to leave. Guo Zengchen, tactful, straightened his body, and bowed to Zheng Yuan: "Thank you for hosting me today, Uncle Zheng. I was so happy and drank too much. I'm sorry for spoiling the fun for you, uncle and aunt."
Seeing Zheng Yuan nodded in agreement, he turned to Zheng Cheng.
"I didn't know that Zheng Shaominghua was already taken. I apologize for the offense. I'll give you two a gift as apology. Our two families have a long way to go. We will meet in the business world in the future. I hope you won't ruin our relationship."
After a few words, Zheng Cheng understood: this guy was sober and begging him not to complain. His attitude was not bad, but of course there were conditions.
"Mr. Guo drank quite a bit, go back and get some rest." Zheng Cheng straightened his clothes and said nonchalantly, "Some clowns are causing trouble. Don't let them ruin the reputation of our two families. I'll have to trouble Mr. Guo to deal with it."
"Okay." Guo Zengchen understood and left the scene neatly.
"You two," Zheng Yuan adjusted his tie and walked downstairs ahead of them, "Be careful when you go downstairs. Don't be too intimate in front of the guests."
"Thank you for today, Dad."
Zheng Cheng said to his back.
Zheng Yuan paused.
"We're all family, there's no need to be polite." Before going downstairs, he gave Zheng Cheng a smiling profile.
In an instant, they were the only two left in the corridor. The guests downstairs kept glancing up from time to time. Zheng Cheng pulled Hanyu by the front of his lapel and hid in the shadows.
"Why, you're coming again?" Hanyu asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Come on, let me straighten it out for you!" Zheng Cheng straightened out the collar and tie that he had just messed up.
It’s also Zheng Cheng’s suit, but when worn on Hanyu, his shoulders appear wider and his chest and back look fuller and more stylish.
"How come you look so good in my clothes? It's so annoying." Zheng Cheng brushed his shoulders unconvinced.
"Your waist is too thin. I don't dare to eat." Hanyu pulled his hand to touch his belly. "You can feel it. It's still holding its core."
"You're crazy." Zheng Cheng smiled and pulled his hand back. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he frowned. "Did your dad just see that too? How do you explain it?"
"He's my dad." Hanyu smiled and said he didn't care, showing confidence, "I can get through it anyway."
"Let's not celebrate this day anymore." Hu Tianren slumped down on his carved sofa that looked like a dragon chair, staring blankly into the distance. "I planned everything, but I didn't expect that little jerk would be a sissy."
"Ha, what nonsense! How can they be effeminate? Even the stars on TV aren't as handsome as them." Fangfang sat next to him and fanned him. "You're just making a fuss. It's normal for young people these days to have their own hobbies."
"Is this called a hobby? Who will inherit such a big stall of mine in the future?" Hu Tianren looked depressed.
"What inheritance? Who would be exhausted managing such a large group alone? Will there be enough dividends?" Aunt Fangfang began to fan her heart. "I told you long ago that if Hanhan wants to open a store, let him do it. He will still have business and can support himself. You don't listen."
Hu Hanyu on the side couldn't stop laughing.
Hu Tianren suddenly jumped up and pointed at Hanyu who was drinking Laocong Qimen Pu'er. "You! Stop laughing silently! This is all your fault."
"I think my mother is right." Hanyu put down the teacup.
Click.
The fan fell to the ground.
"Han, Hanhan," Aunt Fangfang stood up, "What did you call me just now?"
"Mom." Hu Hanyu looked at Aunt Fangfang calmly, with his usual gentle smile, "I'll scream first, otherwise I won't be able to adapt later."
Fangfang stood there blankly for a few seconds, tears welling up in her eyes, and she reached out and started hitting Hu Tianren.
"Oh, you old man, did you hear that?" Her excited voice reached the ceiling. "Your son agreed to come! Your son agreed to let us get married!"
Hu Tianren looked at Fangfang, then at Hanyu, and the smile on his face was uglier than crying.
"Nong Laise, Nong Zhen Laise," he said. "I've been telling you for seven or eight years, but every time you open your mouth you get angry with me. Now that you're in the wrong today, you come right up and call me mom? Is this what Zheng taught you?"
"Zheng Cheng's biological mother is not as close to him as my mother." Hanyu said, "It was because of him that I finally figured it out. You guys should finish this matter quickly before I go to the United States so that we can participate."
Hu Tianren raised a finger towards Hu Hanyu, shook his head left and right, and waved his hands up and down, his thousand words condensed into one sentence: "Your mother knows how to talk."
"Don't scold me anymore in the future." Hu Hanyu picked up the teacup again and smiled. "It didn't matter before, but now I have a mother, right, Mom?"
Coincidentally, Hu Hanyu’s bargaining chip is himself.
"You two really, really are! Wuwuwu..."
No. 72 Jiangkou Old Street is booked today. After listening to what Hu Hanyu said, Zheng Sisi burst into tears.
The actors are so emotional.
Zheng Cheng has been busy preparing materials for going abroad and moving recently, and he is so busy that he is dizzy. Now he is leaning against Hu Hanyu and eating rice cake in small bites.
"Then your father has no objection?" he asked Hanyu.
"Well, you have to come to their wedding and lend me the suit again." Hanyu squeezed his hand and put the rice cake into his mouth.
"Look! Love! Touching love!" Zheng Sisi hit Xiao Ming next to her hard, "Even Xiao Ming is crying."
"It hurts so much when you hit me, TAT" Xiao Ming rubbed his shoulders and huddled in the corner with a bitter face.
"Is Auntie considered a stepmother? Then will you also have a brother like Brother Lu?" Sisi asked.
"She has no children and has followed my dad her entire life without regrets." Hanyu pulled the plastic wrap off the rice cake for Zheng Cheng. "She's actually always been very good to me, but I just wasn't satisfied."
Zheng Cheng touched his hair with his backhand.
Sisi told me that after the birthday, Chen Min locked himself in the room for several days for some unknown reason. When he came out, everything was back to normal.
She must have also tasted the feeling of being used sincerely.
Because when she saw the tuna sandwich, Zheng Cheng clearly saw genuine emotion in her eyes, which were darkened by interests.
Does it hurt, Mom? How will you feel every time you see me from now on?
The disappointment that Zheng Cheng suffered over the years finally fell on Chen Min.
A few days later, Dr. Yin was fired, perhaps because her medical report stated the cause of Zheng Cheng's illness was "mother-son relationship."
"My cooperation agreement with Qingjiang University will not be renewed at the end of this year." Dr. Yin sounded relieved. "That's good. From now on, I have more time to deepen my CPTSD research."
"Can I hire you myself, Doctor Yin?" Zheng Cheng replied. "My personal savings should last me a few more years."
"No, as long as you're willing to join my research case, we can still meet regularly." Doctor Yin said mysteriously, "But, I've set my eyes on some new ones. Mr. Zheng, can you..."
Yes, of course. Dr. Yin received a huge express package the next day.
After the birthday negotiation, Zheng Cheng had finally let go of his mother. His grudges and desire for revenge stemmed from his inability to obtain them. When he no longer longed for the maternal love he had imagined, he naturally stopped harboring resentment towards this incompetent mother.
He is lucky. Although he did not receive unconditional love from his parents since childhood, he is not short of people who love him.
Now there is one more.
"Ming, have you found a job?" Hanyu asked Xiao Ming.
"Hehe, everyone comes to me for work. I will report next week." When talking about this, Xiao Ming ignored the pain and rubbed his nose and smiled.
