"Have you decided when to tell it? If you want to tell it, I'm always here to cooperate with you," said Han Chen.
Zhou Mo: "My dad is very angry about Yu Yizhou's situation. As for you... let's talk about it after the Yizhou issue is resolved."
Han Chen nodded to show his understanding.
"I'll get off work on time tomorrow. Will you still practice badminton? Should I pick you up?"
"I can't tomorrow, I have to go to 'Zhu Lu Zhongyuan'," Zhou Mo said.
"Where? What for?"
"It's my teacher's birthday, so I booked the venue in advance and discussed with the staff how to decorate it for the day."
"How long will it take?"
"About an hour or so."
"I'll take you there. When you're done, you can go practice badminton."
Zhou Mo thought about it and said, "That's fine."
After arriving home.
Zhou Mo made a video call to Liu Xiangru as promised.
This time, Liu Xiangru was not the only one in the camera, Zhou Zheng was sitting next to her.
Zhou Zheng asked in a serious tone, "What's going on between you and Han Chen? Why are you still staying at his place so late?"
Zhou Mo had a headache: "Ask him for help. We can't solve Yu Yizhou's problem by ourselves."
Zhou Zheng: "You can't ask him for help over the phone? How does it look like to be in a man's house late at night? Your Aunt Liang is not here, and you and Han Chen are alone..."
"Dad, didn't you want to match me and Han Chen before? You also said that he had just returned to Dongjiang and was unfamiliar with the place, so you asked me to help him more. Why did you change your attitude now?" Zhou Mo couldn't help but question.
Zhou Zheng was shocked by Zhou Mo's words. Judging from Zhou Mo's tone, the relationship between her and Han Chen had undergone a qualitative change.
He retorted, "Didn't you always go against me before? You were picky and completely disgusted with Han Chen. Why are you on the same side with him now?"
Zhou Mo was speechless.
Zhou Zheng said earnestly, "Dad is thinking about you. What is the status of Han Chen's family? What is our family's status? It's okay for our two families to be acquaintances and friends, but the matter of marriage requires further consideration."
Zhou Mo knew it.
Zhou Zheng is conservative and old-fashioned, and likes to follow rules in everything he does.
"If the name is not right, then the words will not flow, and if the words are not flowing, then the things will not be accomplished," Zhou Zheng said, "Of course, if you really want to be with Han Chen, Dad has no intention of stopping you. This matter must be done step by step, understand?"
Zhou Mo was silent for a moment. "How do you say we should follow the steps?"
Zhou Zheng was stunned when these words came out. Liu Xiangru's pupils suddenly seemed to tremble, and she exclaimed: "Momo, what do you mean by this... Are you and Han Chen really..."
Zhou Zheng also said worriedly: "What's going on with you two? Where are you at now?"
Zhou Mo felt suffocated. "It hasn't gotten that far," she evaded.
Liu Xiangru patted Zhou Zheng on the shoulder, "Han Chen is definitely more reliable than Yu Yizhou. Why are you reacting so strongly? Besides, Momo has always been obedient. If she were really with Han Chen, she would definitely tell us. This is probably just a sign that she's got some ideas. Don't be so harsh."
Zhou Zheng finally managed to smooth over his serious expression. "It's not that I don't agree with you and Han Chen. You're already grown up, so I won't stop you. It's just... if you two are really going to confirm your relationship, you have to tell both of our parents first. You can't hide it. Especially Han Chen's family relationship is very complicated. You must ask Han Chen clearly. Remember, if a man has feelings for you, he will definitely take you to meet his parents instead of hiding it from his family."
Zhou Mo was unconvinced, "I've also met Yu Yizhou's parents. Do you think he has me in his heart?"
"You!" Zhou Zheng was furious. "Who is Yu Yizhou? His moral character is corrupt. From the root, this person is rotten. I'm talking about normal men. Do you think Yu Yizhou is normal?"
Zhou Mo stopped talking.
Anyway, Zhou Mo felt quite upset after Zhou Zheng said this today.
"I understand," Zhou Mo said.
Zhou Zheng's expression returned to its ugly state. "Think things over between you and Han Chen carefully. If you make any decision later, please tell us in time."
Liu Xiangru also added, "Your father is right. We've said so much and thought so much because we don't want you to feel wronged. Every child is a treasure, and ours is no less than anyone else's. Although Han Chen is quite good, marriage is not just a matter between two people, it's a matter between two families. If we can't handle our relationship with Han Chen's family well, you and Han Chen will never be happy even if you love each other to death."
Zhou Mo nodded.
She completely understood what Liu Xiangru said.
She was too impulsive and thoughtless at the beginning.
Zhou Zheng and Liu Xiangru's current attitudes were so conservative and conventional that she didn't dare to tell them about the marriage certificate.
Especially Zhou Zheng, who has been very angry with Yu Yizhou recently.
If she said that, Zhou Zheng would be so angry that he would pass out.
Seeing Zhou Mo's lack of interest, Liu Xiangru said, "That's enough, we're home now. Go and have some rest. You have to go to work tomorrow."
"Well," Zhou Mo asked, "Dad, how are you feeling lately? Are you feeling unwell?"
Zhou Zheng's expression softened and he said, "It's OK, no problem."
Liu Xiangru glared at him and said, "His blood pressure and blood lipids have been rising again recently. Is there anything wrong with him? Today, when I told him about Yu Yizhou, his blood pressure went up so high that he almost fainted."
Zhou Mo was worried. Hearing Zhou Zheng's condition, he thought it would be better to put the marriage certificate issue on hold.
"Dad, take care of yourself," Zhou Mo warned.
"As long as you're fine, I'll be fine."
Han Chen’s WeChat message suddenly popped up on the screen, and he asked: Are you done with the call?
Zhou Mo said to Zhou Zheng and Liu Xiangru on the screen: "Mom and Dad, it's almost twelve o'clock, you should also go to bed."
"Yes, yes, let's stop talking," Liu Xiangru said, "You should also have a good rest."
"Well, bye."
"goodbye."
The family of three hung up the phone.
Zhou Mo lay dejectedly on the sofa. She picked up her phone to check Han Chen's message.
Replied: Finished.
Han Chen: What did they say?
Zhou Mo: Ask us what’s going on now.
Han Chen: You said that?
Zhou Mo: I dare not say, I’m worried about my father’s health.
Han Chen: Let’s not talk about it for now.
Zhou Mo wanted to reply, but didn't know what to say.
Zhou Zheng’s words appeared in her mind. It must be said that Zhou Mo actually agreed with Zhou Zheng’s idea.
If Han Chen had her in his heart, he should have taken her to meet his family instead of hiding her.
For a moment, Zhou Mo was suddenly confused.
During this period, her interactions with Han Chen were extremely pleasant, so pleasant that she forgot everything else and even forgot that their marriage certificate was not pleasant at the beginning.
She just followed her heart and feelings, but Han Chen never expressed his love.
Does Han Chen like her?
I should like it.
She could feel it.
But a relationship can be sustained just by liking each other, but a marriage cannot.
As Zhou Zheng said, marriage is a matter between two families.
There seemed to be a natural, insurmountable gap between her and Han Chen.
