Chapter 1 I offended my dad! I don’t want to marry Zhou Yangze…
"Dad! I don't want to marry Zhou Yangze. He's just an uneducated playboy. He has to rely on his family for support. How can he support me? Besides, there are so many beautiful women out there. I, a simple little cabbage, can't compete with any of them. I will suffer if I marry him~"
Du Boyan coughed awkwardly twice and grabbed his daughter's arm to pull her up, but Du Ningyou clung to his calf tightly and refused to let go, continuing to cry, "Dad, all I want in this life is to be the Du family's pampered little loser. Zhou Yangze, that playboy, can't give me happiness. Please don't be so foolish as to marry me to him. If the two families really want to arrange a marriage, let my second sister marry Zhou Yangze. They are a perfect match, with their talent and beauty... Zhou Yangze and I are not suitable, and we won't be happy if we force ourselves together!"
The second sister she was talking about was upstairs, leaning on the railing to watch the show. When she heard this, she laughed and scolded, "You little heartless girl."
Du Boyan used some strength to pull the man up. Du Ningyou lowered his head and blinked hard, trying to squeeze out a few tears to gain sympathy. Finally, after a thin layer of tears appeared, he looked up at his father. However, just as he was about to speak, he saw him pointing to the side and said, "Come, say hello to your brother Aze."
"?"
“!”
“!!!!!!!!!!!”
A week ago, in the living room of the Zhou family villa.
Zhou Shengtian slapped the coffee table with a "bang"!
"You're bringing shame to our Zhou family! Not only are you not going to work at Zhou, but you're also doing nothing serious every day! Every now and then, there's a rumor spreading around, and your reputation as a playboy is known to everyone in the industry! If you keep going like this, I wonder which daughter of a good family would dare to marry you!"
The young man being scolded looked no more than his early twenties. He wore a black shirt with his sleeves casually rolled up, revealing a priceless watch on his wrist. His collar was unbuttoned, his hair slicked back, and the blue stud on his left earring occasionally caught the light. He had been lazily leaning on the sofa, but only sat up awkwardly after noticing his father's outburst.
"It's not my fault that I look like this." Zhou Yangze muttered softly.
"It's not your fault! Flies don't bite seamless eggs. If you were to work hard like your big brother and not dress up all day and go to entertainment venues, you wouldn't give anyone the chance to get close to you!"
"If you act like a monk like Big Brother, what fun is there in life?"
Hearing this, Zhou Shengtian's temper flared up! He angrily searched around for a handy tool, and finally fixed his eyes on the ashtray on the coffee table. Just as he was about to reach out to take it, he heard his wife's warning from the side: "Zhou Shengtian..."
The outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, and then was withdrawn awkwardly. He held a breath in his heart, unable to let it go either up or down, and his face looked very ugly.
Shen Wanyun came forward and soothed softly: "Didn't you say that we should talk things over properly? If you start fighting after just a few words, it will not only fail to solve the problem, but will also hurt the relationship between father and son."
Zhou Shengtian snorted heavily, sat down and turned his head away, too lazy to look at his unlearned and annoying son.
Shen Wanyun gently stroked his chest to relieve his breath, "Okay, I'll communicate with Aze."
After saying that, he looked at his son with a particularly loving look. Zhou Yangze suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and he moved a little further away on the sofa with his hands.
"Aze..."
"……Um."
"It's like this. I've discussed it with your father and I want you to find a wife and come home as soon as possible."
"Get married! No, Mom, I'm only 24 years old and my life has just begun. How can you bear to let me walk into the grave of marriage! When I get married, I will be controlled by my wife. If I accidentally have a naughty son like me..." When he thought of this, he felt that his life had lost its luster!
I quickly sat closer and grabbed my mother's hand, crying pitifully, "Dad, Mom, you just think I have too many scandals. From now on, I won't dress so fashionably, and I won't drive such an expensive car when I go out. I will definitely be a low-key person and no one of the opposite sex will appear within three meters of me. Don't let me get married so early~"
Looking at her horrified son, Shen Wanyun controlled the urge to laugh and asked coaxingly, "Son, aren't you curious about which girl we've chosen?"
"No, I'm not curious! Not at all!"
Ignoring his rejection, Shen Wanyun said to herself, "We've chosen your uncle Du's daughter, Little Ningyou."
"Du Ningyou?" Zhou Yangze was stunned for a moment, leaning his elbows against his knees without saying anything. After crossing his arms and thinking for a moment, he waved his hand and refused: "No, no, no, I don't want to marry a spoiled girl."
The two had attended the same school since childhood. He still remembered his second year of high school when he accidentally broke his hand playing basketball. He happened to run into Du Ningyou when he went to the infirmary for treatment. He, who had a broken hand, didn't say a word, but she grumbled for a long time over a minor scrape, and her eyes were red from crying while applying ointment. Another time, it was raining heavily outside after school, and the traffic was congested at the school gate. Both drivers were stuck far away and had to walk a distance. He happened to have an umbrella, but Du Ningyou didn't, so he gave it to her and rushed out in the rain. But the next day, he was fine, while Du Ningyou took sick leave with a cold...
If I marry such a spoiled girl, I will be like an old father, worrying about her all the time.
No, no, absolutely not!
"Mom, please just feel sorry for your son. I swear, I will never spread rumors casually in the future, and don't let me get married so early!"
Shen Wanyun sighed, “Hey…Aze, are you really unwilling?”
"I... feel like I haven't grown up yet. I don't have the confidence to take on the responsibilities of a husband if I get married. Can't we discuss this topic in a few years?"
"A girl can't wait for several years. Since you don't want to, I can only find another suitable marriage partner for Ning You."
Zhou Yangze curled his lips and said unhappily, "Du Ningyou is one year younger than me. Why are you so worried? Besides, her father and brothers and sisters are not worried yet."
"How do you know her family isn't worried? I talked about this with your Uncle Du a while ago, and he asked me to help keep an eye on it. Besides, you don't understand at all. Good men have to be snatched up. Start looking for them now, and then cultivate your feelings. Getting married in two years will be just right. I'm also half Ning You's mother. Her mother passed away early, and marriage is about her lifelong happiness, so of course I have to worry about it."
Then she pretended to be distressed and said, "It's just that I've considered all the men of the right age in my circle, and I really can't find a suitable young talent. The ones with ability don't come from families with good relationships. If Ning You marries them, she might be bullied. The ones with good relationships don't come from families with ability, so if she marries them, she will only suffer."
Zhou Yangze didn't take it seriously at first, but his face darkened when he heard this. Shen Wanyun continued as if she hadn't noticed, "It seems that the only option is to marry into the family, but the family won't be a good match. Who knows what he might do in the future. I'm afraid he might control Ning You and threaten her family. Besides, some people may look normal on the surface, but they might have some quirks behind the scenes. If you encounter a domestic violence man or a psychopath, it could be life-threatening..."
Hearing these words, Zhou Yangze finally got anxious, his mouth moving faster than his brain. "Alright, alright, Mom, don't look for anyone else. I'll marry her, alright? There's not a single reliable man in the industry. Du Ningyou would cry every day if she married him. Besides, with her small body, she wouldn't even be able to resist if she was bullied. How could she withstand any hardship?"
"This..." Shen Wanyun hesitated, and said in a considerate and generous tone: "Son, if you really don't want to, you don't have to force yourself. After all, you are my son, and Mom will definitely consider your wishes."
He waved his hand casually, "Forget it, I'll get married sooner or later anyway. Rather than being arranged to marry an unfamiliar partner by you, it's better to marry someone I know well. Besides, if I marry Du Ningyou, I'll have the final say in the family..." Zhou Yangze raised his chin slightly, looking quite proud.
The corners of Shen Wanyun's mouth twitched, and she pursed her lips and quickly pressed them down, then nodded in agreement: "Well, yes."
Zhou Yangze thought for a moment and added, "Just don't be too hasty. We've never been in a relationship before. We should take some time to develop our relationship. Don't ask us to get a marriage certificate right away."
"Don't worry, we won't rush you. You and Ning You can slowly develop your relationship. But if Ning You agrees, the two families will first discuss and finalize the marriage. From then on, you two young people can just get along on your own."
"OK."
So a week later, on an auspicious day, the Zhou couple brought their son and valuable gifts to the Du family to formally express their desire to get married.
After hearing the Zhou family's intentions, Du Boyan smiled widely. "Our two families have always been close, and I couldn't be more relieved to have Ning You marry into your family. Besides, Aze was raised under my care, and I have a trustworthy character."
Shen Wanyun also smiled, "We think so too. Although there are some bad rumors about Aze outside, you know, Boyan, Aze is not such a casual person."
…
While they were chatting happily, a beautiful and dignified woman with gentle eyes and a sharp expression quietly took out her mobile phone, quickly edited a text and sent it out.
At this time, we were at the snack street near Huaicheng No. 1 Middle School.
The boss selling roujiamo was chopping meat with two knives. A girl with a high ponytail and a dress with puff sleeves was standing in front of the stall. Her beautiful eyes, without any impurities, stared at the boss's neat movements without blinking.
Looking down, you will find a sleek tabby cat squatting at her feet. Its expression is exactly the same as hers, with its big round eyes looking up in the same direction.
"Little sister, please be careful with the heat."
"Okay, thank you, boss."
Du Ningyou, carrying a roujiamo (a steamed bun) and a piece of fat and lean meat, turned around and called out, "Brother Biao, let's go."
The tabby cat followed her obediently.
Coming to the flower bed, she opened the bag of meat and let it cool down. When the temperature was about right, she tore it off in small pieces to feed the cat that had been following her feet for a long time.
"Brother Biao, you have remained as strong as ever for many years. The food is very good."
This cat had been with her since she was in high school. Because of its domineering temperament, everyone affectionately called it Brother Biao. When it was in school, it was only close to Du Ningyou, and others couldn't touch it even if they wanted to. When she graduated, she wanted to take it home to raise it, but it loved freedom by nature and refused to get in the car no matter how she called it, so she had to give up in the end.
But Brother Biao has now become the most popular mascot in the school.
The man and the cat were eating happily when the cell phone in her pocket suddenly rang. She wiped her hands with a tissue and took out her cell phone to see who sent the message.
It turned out to be my second sister Du Ningrao, but...
"The Zhou family has brought Zhou Yangze to propose marriage. Congratulations, sister! You'll soon have a fiancé. [Smile]"
Seeing this, she stood up suddenly in shock, "What! Zhou Yangze came to my house to propose marriage!"
Brother Biao noticed her movement, raised his head and meowed.
Du Ningyou quickly patted its head and said, "Brother Biao, take your time eating. I have something urgent to do so I have to go back first. I will come to see you another day."
After saying that, he ran towards the parking lot in a hurry.
Just as she started the car and prepared to leave, her second sister sent another message: "Don't rush home. Wait until the Zhou family leaves. Otherwise, given the relationship between our two families, if we run into you face to face, you'll be forced to do something."
Yes, my second sister is really thoughtful. Du Ningyou, who was originally very anxious, finally calmed down.
She just couldn't understand why Zhou Yangze would ask her to marry him. Had he had enough of his wild life outside and was planning to follow his family's orders and harm this delicate flower in the greenhouse?
No!
Shen Wanyun and his wife had a very pleasant chat with Du Boyan. At the end, Du Boyan said, "I am very satisfied with this marriage. When Ning You comes back, I will ask her what she thinks."
"Okay, then please ask Boyan to say more good things about our Aze in front of Ningyou. If nothing else, our Aze has always taken care of Ningyou like a younger sister. I believe that as a family, he will care even more about her."
"Haha, that's certainly great."
When the Zhou family was about to leave, Du Boyan asked Zhou Yangze to stay behind alone. "How about Aze stay a little longer and play a game of chess with Uncle Du?"
Shen Wanyun immediately pulled her son over and said, "Of course, Aze, accompany your Uncle Du for a while, even playing a few more games of chess will do." She also hinted with her eyes that he should behave well and not talk nonsense.
Zhou Yangze agreed reluctantly, feeling bitter in his heart.
Thinking back to the Huaicheng bully's 24 years of life, he'd never felt as restrained and nervous as he did today. He couldn't help but wonder again if agreeing to get married was a bit too hasty. He hadn't even had enough fun yet, and there were still so many new things in life he hadn't had time to experience, and now he had to shoulder the responsibilities of a man. Sigh... it was such a miserable life. After Shen Wanyun and his wife left, Du Ningrao also stood up to give them space to talk. Finally, only Du Boyan and Zhou Yangze were left in the living room.
Du Ningyou had already arrived home and had been waiting nearby. When he saw the Zhou family's car drive away, he hurried home in a hurry. Seeing his father in the living room, he immediately rushed over, hugged his legs and started crying, "Dad! I don't want to marry Zhou Yangze..."
