"Let you go (he stopped uttering the word motherly)...bullshit!" Xiao Weizhou took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to suppress his anger. "How is the girl now? Which police station are you being held in? I'll have your mother go over there immediately! I'll fly over this afternoon!"
Xiao Xingyu couldn't help but burst out laughing: "No, no, Dad, if I were tortured, how would I be free to call you!"
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.
Then Xiao Xingyu comforted him in a smug tone (he thought so), "Don't worry, Mo Yan has forgiven my impulsiveness and is on her way to the Civil Affairs Bureau with me! But because of Chen Guanfu's relationship, she's worried about harming our family, so she insisted I call you and my mom to get your consent before I go with you to get the marriage certificate."
Xiao Xingyu's two sentences contained so much information that the changes in Xiao Weizhou's expression could almost be displayed holographically on the windshield of the Honda car in a non-video mode.
The car was quiet for a while. Xiaowa lay motionless with his ears pressed against the back of the chair. Zhang Moyan held her breath, her knuckles turning slightly white as she gripped the thermos cup. A delivery rider sped past on the road outside the car, the sound of his electric bike deafening.

Xiao Weizhou pondered for a moment, then made up his mind, "I've anticipated this day. Now that it's done, come on. You're my son, so I'm bound to be with you. On the bright side, at least you're interested in starting a family... The worst that can happen is that I'll be accused of being a bad parent!"
"Dad! Thank you, Dad! You're such a man!" Xiao Xingyu couldn't hide his excitement, his eyes sparkling. "My mom has such good taste. With a responsible ex like you, how could she still be interested in other ordinary people..."
"Stop talking!" Xiao Weizhou ruthlessly interrupted his flattery. "Tell Miss Zhang to rest assured that I agree with your marriage. We'll shoulder any responsibilities together. Remember to speak nicely! Don't piss them off or they'll send you to jail if you make a mistake!"
"No," Xiao Xingyu pulled Zhang Moyan closer like an eagle catching a chicken, "She's listening right now. Do you want her to talk to you?"
"You..." Xiao Weizhou held back his swearing and said as if he was escaping, "No, no, you guys can handle this yourselves. I have something else to do, so I'm hanging up now!"
