Everyone looked at Zhang Moyan at the same time.
Zhang Moyan's eyes twitched and she was stunned for a long time. She looked into Xiao Xingyu's eyes for a minute and finally confirmed that he was not joking.
"Sasa is asking about you. I'm not really suitable," Zhang Moyan said, avoiding him anxiously. "I'm not very good at talking either. Why don't you speak?"
"I can't speak."
Xiao Xingyu glanced at Xiao Huai and teased, "I haven't said much today and I've already been lectured. If I say anything more, who knows what accusations they'll put on me."
Xiao Xingyu turned to Zhang Moyan and smiled: "You are a woman, even if you say something wrong, people will at least give you some face."
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Zhang Moyan felt that Geng Jun and Xiao Huai both had the urge to beat Xiao Xingyu up at this moment.
When the little aunt heard this, she immediately slipped away from Zhang Moyan's legs as if escaping from disaster.
"You don't need to feel any pressure. Looking at the current situation," Xiao Xingyu raised his chin towards Zhou Xia Gengjun, "what do you think of the situation they're facing?"
Zhang Moyan immediately understood from Xiao Xingyu's eyes why he insisted on speaking, because what they were seeing was a scene where two people were in love but the girl's family did not agree!
This is very similar to the situation she created where the parents cannot be close to him because they favor young people from public security, procuratorial and judicial departments.
So, Xiao Xingyu was shooting at the target from behind.
"Just say whatever you think. I want to hear your true thoughts." Xiao Xingyu encouraged Zhang Moyan.
At this moment, Zhang Moyan felt like she was being roasted on a fire, and the looks from the people around her... were really as if she was someone of Xiao Xingyu, uh no, a spokesperson.
Zhang Moyan had a feeling that unless she turned away immediately, she would not be able to escape a few words. However, turning away did not seem to be a sufficient condition for this behavior. Besides, Zhou Xia and Geng Jun were still nice to her.
"Mo Yan, please..." Zhou Xia pleaded in a low voice, "Your and Xing Yu's attitudes are very important to us."
Seeing Zhou Xia so anxious, Geng Jun hugged her soothingly and said, "It's okay."
Xiao Huai and Sasa both stared at Zhang Moyan silently.
After a long while, Xiao Huai saw Zhang Moyan hesitantly stand up, then face him. She seemed to think about it for a long time before saying:
"Actually, if Zhou Xia pays for the meal, it means they're treating you. If you pay for it, it means you're treating them. There doesn't seem to be much difference between the two."
After he finished speaking, the air froze.
Then, everyone turned around and looked at Xiao Xingyu.
Xiao Xingyu was obviously caught off guard. After a second of silence, he couldn't help but laugh. Then, his expression suddenly changed and he said to Zhang Moyan, "Yeah! There really isn't much of a difference. I think so too."
Xiao Xingyu smiled brightly, but inwardly he was complaining: Zhang Moyan, ah Zhang Moyan, you really do know how to make people angry! Everyone's waiting for you to take sides in this situation, but you're turning a blind eye and commenting on Xiao Huai's intention to foot the bill, trying to get away with it. Ha, the key point is that this entry point is so bloodless that Xiao Huai's pretty boy can now be scraped into two ounces of ice chips.
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?" Sasa scratched her head anxiously, "We are voting on whether to protect Sister Zhou Xia!"
"Shut up!" Xiao Huaichen shouted coldly, "She's made it very clear that she doesn't want to get involved in this matter."
The room was completely silent.
Sasa looked at Zhang Moyan in disbelief, and then looked at Xiao Xingyu again and again for confirmation.
Xiao Xingyu shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he would listen to Zhang Moyan, like a wife-slave with no opinion of his own.
"Mo Yan," Zhou Xia's eyes were filled with hurt and disappointment, "I thought... at least you would support me and Geng Jun."
Geng Jun shook his head slightly, signaling Zhou Xia not to speak like that. Zhou Xia nodded in understanding, a trace of apology forced on her bitter face: "I'm sorry..."
Zhou Xia's helpless look pierced Zhang Moyan's heart like a finger. Yes, they shared the same fate, so at least she should support her and Geng Jun.
"Zhou Xia..." Zhang Moyan suddenly felt a little regretful.
Zhou Xia retracted her gaze, the corners of her mouth slightly raised. "It doesn't matter. This is indeed a very tricky matter. I have long been prepared for everyone's reaction. I have always been a good girl, and it was not until I met Geng Jun that I knew my true self. I am not that obedient. I will persist when I need to. Geng Jun is a good person, and I don't want to miss him. It's that simple. No one can separate Geng Jun and me, and I will not let my child be born into an incomplete family."
Xiao Huai turned around suddenly, his expression extremely tense: "What did you say?!"
Zhou Xia smiled faintly: "Not only am I married to Geng Jun, but I'm also pregnant with his child."
"You..." Xiao Huai was visibly angry and speechless.
After gathering his thoughts, he said, "Zhou Xia, you need to think clearly. My attitude today is definitely many times gentler than that of your elders in the future. Are you really prepared to bear any consequences? Even Xiao Xingyu doesn't dare to speak up for you in this matter, and even Miss Zhang can see the seriousness of the matter. Why are you so stubborn?"
"Dean Geng," Xiao Huai stared at Geng Jun, his brows furrowed to the utmost. "It's a shame you can't be a doctor with your skills. I'm deeply suspicious of your intentions. Now Zhou Xia is determined to go her own way, and I can't change her. I can only give you one last piece of advice: your marriage is a serious matter. You won't be recognized by either family, and it's doomed to have a bad ending!"
Xiao Huai was as decisive as sentencing someone to death, completely ignoring Zhou Xia's pale face, and turned around and left.
"I approve of them!" Zhang Moyan's voice rose hurriedly.
Xiao Huai paused.
"I haven't finished what I was saying just now." Zhang Moyan glanced down at Xiao Xingyu, who raised his lower eyebrow oddly. Zhang Moyan's eyes swept across his face and then returned to Xiao Huai. "Putting Xingyu aside, as far as I'm concerned, I sincerely hope that Zhou Xia and Dean Geng will be together!"
The air suddenly became quiet. Sasa's eyes widened. Zhou Xia and Geng Jun were unable to react. The little aunt was stunned. Xiao Xingyu froze in his seat, his mind clamoring: "What did she just call me? Xingyu! Not Teacher Xiao or Mr. Xiao? I was really caught off guard..."
"I've heard about the relationship between the two families," Zhang Moyan said, completely unaware of the shock of the people around her. She nervously explained to Xiao Huai her sudden change of sides, "But I think those things happened a long time ago. The right and wrong of the past have long been buried with our ancestors. It's better to resolve a feud than to create one. The Xiao and Geng families are both ancient porcelain families that have worked tirelessly for Tianqing glazed porcelain. If they can join forces, it will definitely give a great boost to the revival of Tianqing glazed porcelain. So I strongly support Zhou Xia and Dean Geng being together, and I think we can use their union as an opportunity for your two families to reconcile their differences."
