Chapter 24 The Zhou Family is Here

Zhou Nuan was happily receiving gifts when she suddenly heard someone calling her, "Xiao Nuan."

Looking up, he saw Sister Chen and others coming. He quickly greeted Chief Zhao and went to greet them, "Sister Chen, you are here. Come, come, sit here."

Mrs. Chen and the others sat down, looked at Zhou Nuan carefully, and said with a smile, "She is well taken care of. She has gained some weight and looks good."

Zhou Nuan touched her face, feeling ashamed.

As they were talking, Gu Xiyue came over. He was not familiar with Sister Chen and the others, so they only met for a few times in the ward. "Sister Chen, please forgive me for not being able to greet you well."

Sister Chen smiled and said, "Just do your thing. I'll talk to Xiao Nuan."

After saying that, he naturally took Xiaoxi from Gu Xiyue's arms. Seeing her wandering around with curious eyes, he liked her very much, "She's so cute, just like you."

Zhou Nuanxin thought that this was not what Chief Zhao said just now, "She is still so young, how can you tell?"

"Anyway, she doesn't look like anyone from your mother's family. Xiao Nuan, you don't look like anyone from your mother's side either." Sister Chen teased Xiao Xi in her arms. Seeing her grinning at her, she became even more fond of her. She took out a big red envelope and stuffed it into Xiao Xi's quilt, not giving Zhou Nuan a chance to refuse.

"It's for my Xiaodong and Xiaoxi, so don't take it."

Zhou Nuan: ... She definitely won’t smell it, at most she’ll just borrow it for a while.

"Thank you, Sister Chen." She thanked her generously.

Seeing her neat and generous appearance, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but nodded secretly: After meeting Zhou Nuan for a few days, she had a very good impression of her. She was well-mannered in her conversation and not shy. She was generous in her dealings with others. She would definitely have a bright future. She was nothing like her family members who spoke crudely and had narrow vision.

"Xiao Nuan, have your family members come?"

Zhou Nuan didn't even raise her eyelids, "Not yet." She did notify the Zhou family to come, but she just changed the time of the dinner and asked them to come and eat the leftovers.

If it wasn't for the fact that she wanted to cut off He Rongsheng's flesh and make them bleed, she wouldn't have notified them.

Mrs. Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiao Nuan, don't blame me for being talkative. You have to be careful of those people from your mother's family."

What she said in the ward before was just to give Zhou Nuan face. She always felt that those people had bad intentions, especially Zhou Nuan's mother. Her eyes were gloomy and she didn't look at Zhou Nuan as if she was looking at her own daughter.

Mrs. Chen is worthy of being Mrs. Chen. She looks at people a lot and has a sharp eye.

Zhou Nuan responded, "I know, I won't let them get their wish."

As they were talking, it was time to start the meal, so everyone sat down and waited for the meal to start. Zhou Nuan and Gu Xiyue took the child to Qin Yuezhi's place again to greet the relatives.

Fortunately, although Qin Yuezhi was not in charge, she was able to take good care of everyone with the presence of Xiao Suhang and other elders. Zhou Nuan also received a wave of red envelopes.

The banquet was coming to an end, and just when everyone was about to eat and drink their fill, someone from the Zhou family arrived.

As soon as He Rongsheng's fat body appeared, Zhou Nuan noticed it with her sharp eyes, but she pretended not to see it and continued to eat her meal.

He Rongsheng led his family to look at the food which was almost gone, and his face almost turned black.

It turned out that when she heard Zhou Nuan send someone to pass on the message that a hundred-day banquet would be held at Yingjiang Hotel in Jiangzhou City, she felt very uncomfortable. To be able to hold the banquet at Yingjiang Hotel, Zhou Nuan either had a lot of money in her hands, or borrowed money to make up for the bulk of the event.

The latter possibility is more likely. It must be that Gu Xiyue asked the young man who was driving to lend it to them. He was dressed so flashily, and it was obvious that he came from a wealthy family.

Why go to a hotel with that much money? It would be better to give her the borrowed money. They are just two little kids. They don't deserve the blessing of going through so much trouble.

If she hadn't been concerned about Gu Xiyue, she would have called Zhou Nuan back and scolded her. But she had no choice but to take advantage of the Gu family's status as a family member, so she asked someone to tell Zhou Nuan to borrow a car to pick them up, preferably the jeep.

Unexpectedly, after her message was passed, there was no response at all. Today, she waited and waited but the bus didn't come. As the time for the meal was about to start, she had to squeeze on the bus with her family.

However, after rushing around, the meal was still a few minutes later than the agreed start time. Looking at everyone who had eaten and drunk their fill, He Rongsheng almost couldn't control his temper.

It was Zhou Bing who grabbed her, winked at her, and shouted, "Sister!"

Qin Yuezhi looked over and stood up quickly, "My dear, why are you so late? Come in quickly."

Little Su Hang sat there with a stiff face and a defensive look in his eyes.

Zhou Nuan looked up as if she had just noticed them. "Why are you so late? You are late for such an important day. You don't care about your grandson at all."

First put the blame on them.

Zhou Bing frowned, "Didn't you say that the meal would start at this time? We were only a little late." We were only a little late and the meal was already finished? So fast?

Zhou Nuan, "Oh? Did the messenger say the wrong time? Then there's nothing we can do."

Zhou Chang looked at the table full of leftover meat and drooled, "Mom, I want to eat meat, ask Zhou Nuan to arrange another table!"

Zhou Nuan raised her eyebrows: You're already so fat and you still want to eat meat? Eat your big head ghost.

She spread her hands and said with regret, "No more, we have reserved these tables. You should have come earlier, as you are almost done eating. How about I ask someone to bring you some steamed buns?"

Steamed buns? She came all the way here and you gave her steamed buns? Is that reasonable?

He Rongsheng's face darkened. "Zhou Nuan, what do you mean? Do you still have me as your mother in your eyes? You've grown wings, right? Where's Gu Xiyue? His father-in-law and mother-in-law are here, why doesn't he come out to greet them?"

"He's gone to see the guests off." Zhou Nuan looked at He Rongsheng with a half-smile, but her tone was pitiful, "How could I not have you as my mother? I'm afraid you don't have me as your daughter in your heart? During the time I was in confinement, none of you came to visit me, and you didn't even ask about me."

"Also, you took my betrothal money and said you would return it to me. It's fine that you didn't return a cent all these years, but I finally gave birth to a child, and you, as a grandmother, didn't even want to give me a piece of clothing."

At this time, most of the soldiers in the hotel had left, and the remaining ones were mostly relatives, friends and neighbors. Since everyone lived nearby, they could see clearly and immediately began to whisper to each other.

"Yes, yes, the Zhou family was really ruthless at the time, asking for 500 yuan. Isn't this selling their daughter? They didn't even come to see my daughter during her confinement. They are so cruel. They took so much money and didn't even want to give her clothes. They are so stingy."

"That's right. It's obviously me who was late, but I still blame others..."

"You didn't come here empty-handed? You're really shameless."

He Rong was so angry that his face turned blue. When he saw Zhou Nuan's new clothes, he became even more furious. Zhou Bing quickly lowered his voice and said, "Mom, butcher."
