"We still have to go eat, why are you going on?"
"It's just a meal, it's okay if you don't eat it."
"You really are..." Zhou Mo gritted his teeth.
"I'm serious."
"When have you ever been careless about this?" Zhou Mo raised his head from his arms and glared at him, "Everyone is already downstairs at the hotel, and you just said you don't want to go. You're really something."
"You decide whether to go or not. I'll listen to you." Han Chen smiled and pecked Zhou Mo's cheek lightly.
"Of course I have to go."
Zhou Mo broke away from Han Chen's arms, "But I need to tidy up a bit."
Han Chen looked at Zhou Mo's wrinkled shirt, half of the collar had flown to the side, and said with a smile: "It really needs to be straightened out."
Zhou Mo glared at him while buttoning his shirt, "This is all your fault."
***
The evening banquet was hosted by Yan Yi and Han Yu helped to arrange it.
Therefore, the local government chose the Yutang Hall, which was known for its "competition for supremacy in the Central Plains."
I thought that only Han Yu and Liang Xinyun came this time, but I didn't expect that Han Chen's fourth brother Han Ze was also here.
After entering the door, Han Chen was surprised and asked, "Fourth brother, why are you here too?"
Han Ze was still sitting sideways, with no proper manners. "I heard Yi? was treating me to a meal, so I came all the way from the capital."
"Don't listen to his nonsense," Han Yu said, "this kid hasn't left since he came to Dongjiang with your second brother."
Han Chen frowned and asked Han Ze, "Why didn't you return to the imperial capital?"
Han Ze: "You don't even want to go back, and you ask me?"
"Alright, alright, it's a rare family get-together," Liang Xinyun said. "Everyone, sit down, let's have a good meal together. I haven't met Momo yet, Han Chen, so hurry up and introduce her."
Han Chen glanced at Yan Yi, his face polite but his attitude distant, "My old...my girlfriend, Zhou Mo."
Yan Yi? Her smile was very sweet. She looked about the same age as Zhou Mo. She had an oval face and light makeup. When she smiled, her eyebrows were curved and she looked very sweet.
She took the initiative to extend her hand, "Hello Zhou Mo, I'm Yan Yi, the girlfriend of Han Chen's third brother Han Chi."
"Hello," Zhou Mo also shook hands politely.
"Please sit down," Yan Yi said enthusiastically. He took the menu from the table and handed it to Zhou Mo. "I'm hosting you today. Please feel free to order whatever you want. Han Chen, like his third brother, has never had any ideas about food. You can just take care of it."
"Yeah," Zhou Mo responded with a smile and a nod.
It has to be said that if it weren't for Han Chen's description of Yan Yi, which gave her a preconceived negative impression, it would be hard to dislike Yan Yi's performance at this moment.
This kind of amiability during the first meeting was very helpful in winning the favor of this "newcomer".
Zhou Mo was concentrating on ordering food when Yan Yi, who was standing opposite her, stared at her and suddenly asked, "Mo Mo, have you...been to the Mercedes-Benz 4S store on Yuehe Road before?"
"You remembered it too?" Zhou Mo asked with a smile, "I wanted to mention it just now, but I didn't have the nerve to bring it up."
Yan Yi poured two glasses of water and considerately moved the glass swivel table to Zhou Mo, making a "please" gesture, indicating that she should help herself and enjoy.
"Thanks."
Zhou Mo took the tea from the rotating table, one cup for himself and one cup for Han Chen.
"Which CLA did you fancy last time?"
"Well, that one is more suitable for girls."
"Over three hundred thousand, that's not cheap," Yan Yi said, "Is this your dowry?"
Zhou Mo smiled embarrassedly, "I have this plan."
"Very good," Yan Yi smiled and asked Liang Xinyun, "Aunt Liang, Han Chen is getting married. What are you preparing for? Let me ask around."
"We're just doing a small thing here, so we can't prepare anything," Liang Xinyun said. "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Let's follow the Dongjiang customs. The three golds, the betrothal gifts... We'll prepare everything based on what Momo's family asks."
"Are there many rules for getting married in Dongjiang? How does it compare to the imperial capital?" Yan Yi asked.
"Whether there are many rules or not depends on the specific family," Liang Xinyun said. "Momo's family is very good and hasn't made any demands yet. But it's still early for them. At least they have to be behind you and Han Chi."
Yan Yi slightly curled his lips, as if shy, "It's still early for Han Chi and me."
"Is it too early for you and Third Brother?" Han Ze tutted. "From what I heard from my Second Uncle, he wants you two to get things done next year. You two have been dating for a long time, and the marriage is already decided. All you need is the marriage certificate. It's not too early."
Han Yu patted Han Ze beside him and asked, "Why are you talking to your third sister-in-law?"
Han Ze was very dissatisfied, "Who wants to call her Third Sister-in-law?"
Han Yu pinched him, "So? Why isn't she your third sister-in-law anymore?"
Han Ze said stubbornly: "She is younger than me, so I won't scream."
Han Yu: "She is younger than you and is also your third sister-in-law."
Han Ze: "Why are you forcing me to do anything? Just tell Han Chen to scream, and I'll scream if he does."
"Hey, I can't deal with you, right?" Han Yu didn't believe it and pretended to pull Han Ze's ears.
Han Ze reacted quickly and stood up and dodged.
"Auntie, you—my parents can't bear to do anything to me."
"It's because you spoiled my third brother and sister-in-law that I have to teach you a lesson," Han Yu scolded, "Come here."
"I'm not going in," Han Ze stood at the door, looking like he was about to run out at any time.
Han Yu had no choice but to soften his tone and said, "Come and sit down. It doesn't look good standing here."
Han Ze then walked over with his head down, but he was still worried about Han Yu, so he pulled a chair over and wanted to sit next to Han Chen, away from Han Yu.
Liang Xinyun couldn't help laughing when she saw the two "lively treasures" of the Han family fighting and playing.
"Fifth Aunt, you shouldn't make fun of me like that," Han Ze said aggrievedly, "I'm already old, and Auntie didn't even give me any face in front of so many people."
"You're not that old, not even thirty yet, right? If you're over thirty, you don't count."
"How can you not be thirty? I'm already thirty-one this year," Han Ze shook his head helplessly. "Fifth Aunt, your memory is really bad."
"Oh, you're already thirty-one?" Liang Xinyun realized belatedly, "Look at me, I forgot all that. You're two years older than Han Chen. Han Chen is already twenty-nine this year. You're two years older than Han Chen."
"Yes," Han Ze said, "otherwise my second uncle will be worried. My third brother is already 35 years old this year and still not married. My second brother, who is the same age as him, has a child in elementary school."
"Lin Feng and Hui Zhang are different. Hui Zhang is a university professor and is in the presence of your second uncle. He has been engaged to Zhi Yin since childhood, so it would be difficult for him not to get married."
"If my second brother hadn't taken the blame, the child might be his now."
Han Yu glanced at Yan Yi, then quickly glared at Han Ze and lectured him, "Don't talk nonsense."
Then he called the waiter in and prepared to take the order.
Zhou Mo was not deaf or blind, so he could naturally figure out that there was another hidden story.
But it’s actually not that difficult to guess.
Han Chi and Han Ji are twins. When they got engaged, they probably didn't expect them to be brothers.
Han Chi was determined to escape, so Han Ji had no choice but to marry the woman he was considering marrying.
