Zhou Zheng was completely stunned.
Some of the deepest thoughts in my heart were suddenly revealed.
He has never felt anything about Zhou Mo finding a boyfriend. He feels that girls will get married sooner or later, and no one can stop them when fate has arrived. If Zhou Mo doesn't want to get married, he can support her for the rest of her life.
Liu Xiangru had always been anxious and urged Zhou Zheng, but Zhou Zheng didn't have any special ideas and just let things take their course.
Liu Xiangru said that he was not interested in Zhou Mo's marriage. Zhou Zheng was afraid of making Liu Xiangru angry, so he always had the same opinion as Liu Xiangru.
Zhou Mo is not a willful person. Her previous boyfriends were all dated in school. In Zhou Zheng's opinion, the romances during student days basically don't count.
After all, once you leave campus, all kinds of trivialities of life and pressures of reality will follow one after another. Only those who can withstand it will eventually get married. However, most people can't withstand it, and most campus romances end in a breakup.
But it’s different for someone with a stable job and income.
Having an economic foundation means having a foundation for marriage, and Zhou Zheng also realized that Zhou Mo is really going to get married this time.
He also inexplicably developed a sense of crisis.
Zhou Mo is her daughter whom she has raised and loved for more than 20 years.
Zhou Zheng felt somewhat lost when he thought that she was about to start a new family with another man.
His long-term habitual love for Zhou Mo made him alert and instinctively protective of a father.
He had to make sure that everything was safe before he could safely hand Zhou Mo over to Han Chen.
However, Han Chen's prominent and complicated family background is indeed daunting.
Zhou Zheng was annoyed for a moment. "Don't you understand? Our ancient emphasis on marrying someone of equal social status is just for nothing. I've worked in public institutions for so many years, and which of the children of those with a bit of status have ever married an ordinary person? At worst, they've all been married off internally, and at worst, they've married someone from a wealthy family with an annual income of millions or tens of millions. Look at Han Chen, his fourth uncle, and his cousin. What social status do they have? Our humble family... ah!"
It’s all tears if I talk too much.
Zhou Zheng has been in the system for so many years, and his long-term experience and what he has seen and heard tell him that there will be no good results if the family background is so different.
"Han Chen is quite down-to-earth. We have known him and his mother for a long time. We know what kind of people they are. What you said is complete nonsense," Liu Xiangru said in disbelief.
Zhou Zheng waved his hands. Seeing that his words were completely unsatisfactory, he simply stopped talking. "I didn't say anything bad about Han Chen. In this life, whoever you marry is who you live with. I said all this just because I don't want our daughter, who we hold dear, to be treated with contempt and neglect by others."
"Dad, I know what you're thinking," Zhou Mo lowered his head, feeling ashamed. "Don't worry, since I've chosen Han Chen, I'll definitely get along well with him, but I won't lose myself for him or put myself in a difficult position. I am who I am, and no one can make me suffer."
Zhou Zheng looked at her deeply and said, "Girl, you must keep your word and never let yourself down."
Zhou Mo nodded heavily.
Before going to bed at night.
Han Chen sent a message: Are you asleep?
Zhou Mo: No.
Han Chen: Go to bed early. Are you feeling unwell? That drink was pretty strong today.
Zhou Mo: It’s okay, I didn’t drink much and fell asleep right away.
Han Chen: Well, good night.
Zhou Mo stared at the words "good night" in a daze, and she also replied good night.
…
The next day.
Before seven in the morning, Zhou Mo was pulled out of bed by Liu Xiangru in a daze.
"Hurry up and pack up," Liu Xiangru urged, "After breakfast, let's ask your Aunt Liang to go out for a walk."
"Where are we going?" Zhou Mo rubbed his eyes.
"Buying furniture."
Zhou Mo fell headfirst onto the bed, "There's no need to get up so early to buy furniture, right?"
"Why not? It's not that hot right now, it's cool outside. Do you want to wait until noon?"
“…”
Zhou Mo wanted to retort that they could take a taxi on the way and the furniture store had air conditioning, so they wouldn't have to suffer from the heat. But seeing Liu Xiangru's aggressive look, she immediately stopped and got up obediently to wash and change clothes.
After breakfast, Zhou Zheng and several neighbors in the community went to the chess and card room to play mahjong.
At Liu Xiangru's constant urging, Zhou Mo finally changed her clothes, found a metal-framed shark clip, and pinned her hair up behind her head.
Before going out, she looked at herself in the bathroom mirror for a long time.
"Don't look at it anymore. You are still my daughter no matter how you take the photo. You are the most beautiful," said Liu Xiangru.
Zhou Mo chuckled and came out of the bathroom.
The two went out and took a taxi.
On the way, Liu Xiangru asked, "Why didn't your friend, Chen Pan, invite her home? She must be lonely in Dongjiang, especially during the holidays."
"I called her, and she said she was taking advantage of the holiday to finish her comics, and her editor was pressing her to submit her manuscript," Zhou Mo said, "Don't worry, she's my friend, how could I ignore her?"
"Girls should help each other more when they are out there."
"You don't have to tell me, that's for sure," Zhou Mo said. "She and I have an appointment to go to Green Island tomorrow. They just built a large indoor swimming pool there, and her company gave us two tickets."
Liu Xiangru looked at her warily, "Want to go swimming?"
"Well, I haven't swum for a long time," Zhou Mo was quite looking forward to it.
Liu Xiangru frowned, "You can swim, but you are not allowed to wear anything too revealing."
Zhou Mo was a little pleased, "Mom, what era is this? You are still so backward in your thinking."
"There's a saying that goes, 'A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall,'" Liu Xiangru said. "Unless all the bad people in this world are dead, you better listen to what your mother says. It's better to take precautions before they happen. Do you understand?"
Zhou Mo nodded reluctantly in response.
Liu Xiangru and Liang Xinyun agreed to meet at the entrance of the furniture store.
When Zhou Mo and Liu Xiangru arrived, Liang Xinyun had already arrived.
The two old sisters held hands and exchanged a few words, then walked into the revolving door No. 1 of the furniture store together.
Zhou Mo followed behind the two of them.
Along the way, Liu Xiangru and Liang Xinyun looked around and chatted non-stop, not looking at the furniture on both sides at all.
Zhou Mo knew that the two of them were looking for an opportunity to chat under the pretext of buying furniture.
After all, it is rare to meet sisters with similar interests, and they just happen to have time on May Day.
Liu Xiangru was extremely envious of Liang Xinyun. "You don't have to work now. You have plenty of free time every day. You must be quite relaxed, right? I want to retire early and enjoy my retirement life."
Liang Xinyun said, "Idleness is uncomfortable. It's better to work. If I hadn't had heart surgery, how could I bear to give up my work?"
Liu Xiangru: "You are not yet of retirement age. If you want to work, you can look for a job now."
"I don't want to think about it anymore," Liang Xinyun said. "If it were any other job, I might have some thoughts about going back to work, but being a doctor... it's hard to describe. Every day, I'm constantly arguing with people. There are so many things that are frustrating."
Liu Xiangru was curious and asked, "How could it be?"
