Zhou Mo turned around and went upstairs reluctantly.
Upstairs, the outer door was ajar.
She opened the door and walked in, "I'm back."
"May Day holiday officially starts tomorrow, so I won't be going home tonight," Liu Xiangru said sarcastically, "Have you forgotten you have parents now that you have a boyfriend?"
"No," Zhou Mo moved closer to Liu Xiangru and sat down next to her. "I just listened to what I said. Am I back?"
Liu Xiangru glanced at her gently, "There's steamed fruit corn in the kitchen, do you want some?"
Zhou Mo rubbed his stomach and said, "I'm full and can't eat any more."
"Did your Aunt Liang see it?" Zhou Zheng pushed the fruit plate on the coffee table towards Zhou Mo.
"Yeah."
"Don't you mind torturing her? She came all the way from the sanatorium..." Liu Xiangru said, "Why don't you go home earlier? It's hard for Han Chen to send her back so late."
"She stayed at Han Chen's place tonight and didn't go back."
Liu Xiangru realized it later and said, "That's right."
"You only met your Aunt Liang today, and no one else?" Zhou Zheng asked seriously.
"I met Han Chen's two cousins."
"Oh? What's going on?" Zhou Zheng frowned.
"Han Chen's second brother is a university professor and came to Dongjiang to attend an academic summit. It seems that his fourth brother is here for fun. They have a good relationship, so Han Chen treated them to a meal."
Zhou Zheng nodded, but seemed thoughtful.
Liu Xiangru asked quickly, "His second brother is a university professor? That's great. Han Chen has a good upbringing, and it seems his cousins are also good. Old Zhou, your worries are unnecessary. Han Chen's family background is prominent, but that doesn't mean everyone in his family is a playboy."
Zhou Zheng said nothing.
Liu Xiangru then said to Zhou Mo, "Your cousins are all married now. You're the only one left in your generation. Have you told Han Chen about letting him meet your uncle?"
"Yes, I did."
"What does Han Chen mean?"
"He said we can meet on the 4th. He's quite proactive and caring."
"That's fine," Liu Xiangru breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll ask your Aunt Liang out tomorrow and have a good chat with her about you meeting your parents."
Zhou Mo was under a lot of pressure. Faced with Liu Xiangru's enthusiasm to actively promote a meeting between the two parents, she was really a little overwhelmed.
Zhou Zheng, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke up, "Han Chen is busy with work. This May Day holiday, let's meet your uncle and his family first. When he has a holiday on National Day, we'll see if we can arrange for his parents to come over so the two families can meet."
Zhou Mo had never thought so far ahead. When Zhou Zheng said this, Zhou Mo was a little flustered, "Dad, you are too anxious."
"What's the rush?" Zhou Zheng suddenly said sternly, "There's still six months between now and October. It's not like you and Han Chen just met. Isn't it normal for you to meet their parents? Do you really want to just date forever and not consider getting married?"
"I...I've only been dating him for a short time. Can't we spend more time together?"
"It's not that I don't want you two to spend more time together, I'm just afraid he'll hold you back," Zhou Zheng said earnestly. "You're so focused on your relationship, regardless of the attitudes of both sides' parents. You've been in a relationship for years. Han Chen is a man, he's not afraid of the passage of time, but you're different. What if, after three or five years, Han Chen's family just doesn't like you and comes between you? What will you do? Break up?"
Zhou Mo lowered his head awkwardly.
As someone who has been through this, Zhou Zheng thinks long-term for her, and Zhou Mo feels guilty.
In order to vent her anger, she got married to Han Chen without considering the consequences.
Zhou Zheng wanted everything to be complete, as if he wanted to prepare everything for her. He was so traditional and conservative, and Zhou Mo felt that she couldn't tell Zhou Zheng about getting the marriage certificate on impulse.
Given Zhou Zheng's cautious attitude, if he knew that she and Han Chen had already obtained their marriage certificate, he would probably be furious.
"You have to meet the parents as soon as possible. Whether the two families can get along or not, each of them should make their positions clear as soon as possible. If they can get along, then get along. If not, then withdraw. There is no need to worry about wasting time. When you are with Han Chen on a daily basis, give him more advice so that he can have some awareness."
"I understand." Zhou Mo lowered his head.
"Don't always say yes."
Zhou Mo lowered his head, feeling very unhappy.
Zhou Zheng's words made Zhou Mo feel that the relationship between him and Han Chen was invisibly shackled.
Heavy and realistic.
"Knock, knock, knock", there was a knock on the door.
The serious atmosphere in the room was suddenly interrupted by a knock on the door.
The family of three looked at each other in surprise.
Zhou Zheng was closest to the door. He stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."
Open the door.
What caught my eye was a bunch of bright red roses.
"Uncle Zhou," Han Chen greeted him while holding a large bouquet of roses.
"What is this?" Zhou Zheng wondered.
"Momo left this in my trunk."
When Zhou Mo and Liu Xiangru saw that it was Han Chen, they hurried to the door.
Han Chen saw Zhou Mo coming over and handed her the flowers. "I just remembered halfway through that you left the flowers I sent you."
Zhou Mo was originally in a bad mood, but when he saw the bright red roses, his unhappy mood disappeared.
Liu Xiangru looked at the large bouquet of flowers in Zhou Mo's arms in shock and joy, "Look, look, how romantic Han Chen is."
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhou Zheng from the corner of his eye.
Zhou Zheng saw that both of his women were bewitched by roses, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
He and Liu Xiangru have been married for so many years, but it seems that he has never sent flowers to Liu Xiangru.
"Come in and sit down?" Liu Xiangru asked Han Chen.
"No, it's too late. My mother is alone. I'll go back early," Han Chen said, but his eyes unconsciously glanced at Zhou Mo.
"Okay, go back quickly. You have to go to work tomorrow. Don't delay," Liu Xiangru said. "Isn't your mother at Century Garden? I'll go find her tomorrow and take her out for a walk."
"Okay, I'll talk to her," Han Chen said.
"Number Four, don't forget to meet Momo's uncle," Zhou Zheng reminded.
"Okay," Han Chen replied solemnly, "Uncle Zhou, Aunt Liu, I'm leaving."
"Hey, be careful on the road," said Liu Xiangru.
Han Chen glanced at Zhou Mo and said, "I'm leaving."
"Well, bye."
Zhou Mo was obviously reluctant to leave, but she didn't dare to show it too much, for fear that Zhou Zheng would see her and Han Chen being too intimate and become more serious and conservative.
Send Han Chen away.
Liu Xiangru approached Zhou Mo curiously and examined the bouquet carefully. "These flowers are so beautiful. How many flowers are there? It must cost a lot of money. Han Chen is in such a difficult situation now, and he is really willing to spend money. I have been married to your father for so many years, and I have never seen him give me flowers."
Zhou Zheng sneered: "Isn't it just a bunch of flowers? You can't eat them, and you can't use them. They'll all wither in a few days. They're just pretty but useless."
"Hey, Old Zhou," Liu Xiangru glared at him. "You don't understand romance, so why are you so picky about Han Chen? Han Chen knows how to buy flowers to make Momo happy, but you keep saying nonsense all day and just make Momo upset. Have you been a daughter slave for too long? Now that Momo has really found a good man, you, as a father, are feeling unbalanced?"
