If we ignore the sarcasm of the second uncle and aunt of the Yan family, this dinner was actually quite pleasant - at least Yan Wenwu was not as angry as he was.
In comparison, although the hostess Chu Ling didn't smile much, she was really amiable compared to others.
Of course, Zhou Ziyi still didn't dare to try to please her obviously. The situation was complicated now, and it would be bad if it backfired.
During the meal, Yan Meiyue even made a scene. She stood up and took the spareribs twice, then complained that the spareribs were placed too far away, and wanted to have half of the spareribs in front of her. Her aunt said directly, "Why bother? Just move it to your side," and helped Yan Meiyue change the dishes.
It also replaced the only main dish in front of Zhou Ziyi.
Zhou Ziyi: ...This method can only last for two episodes in the house fighting drama.
Seeing him staring at the replaced plate with eager eyes (?), Yan Xiuzhi reached out to pick up a piece and threw it into his bowl without saying anything.
Zhou Ziyi: ???
No, Zhou Ziyi had thought about whether to pick up food for Yan Xiuji before, but he was afraid that he was an "invisible mysophobia", so he didn't do it. Now that CEO Yan actually took the initiative to "business" to this extent, Zhou Ziyi, the second party, was almost moved!
Seeing this, Aunt Yan Xiuji said, "I've never seen you pick up ribs for your parents. You're really nice to your boyfriend."
Zhou Ziyi thought to himself, "Here comes the job!" Just as he was about to open his mouth to reply, he saw Yan Xiuji throw another piece of pork ribs into his bowl and said lightly, "He is short-handed."
As we all know, these words may sound mean, but they are actually just showing off their love.
When Zhou Ziyi heard this, he swallowed back what he wanted to say, "I just said that I wanted to drink milk tea when I go home. He doesn't allow me to eat snacks, so he wants me to eat more meals."
Yan Xiuji's answer was more concise, more intimate, and more affectionate than he had imagined. Zhou Ziyi was impressed.
——So the boss is the boss, and his skills in showing affection are also very advanced!
Yan Wenwu didn't show up for the whole meal, which was very annoying. Auntie persuaded Yan Xiuji to say something soft to his father, and then told Chu Ling that couples don't hold grudges overnight, so they shouldn't be angry. Chu Ling and Yan Xiuji didn't react. But Yan Meiyue actually stood up after the meal and said she was going to prepare dinner for Yan Wenwu, which won unanimous praise from Yan's auntie and second uncle.
"Meiyue is such a filial child." Auntie sighed, "It was only because my eldest brother passed away early that he couldn't enjoy this blessing. Now she cares so much about my third brother and even knows to bring him food instead of holding him down. This can be considered as repaying the kindness."
Listening carefully, Zhou Ziyi could hear so much complaints coming out of his heart that it could fill the screen, but it was a pity that he was not in a position to speak out.
Yan Xiuji, who was being implied, had no reaction. Even Chu Ling glanced at her sister-in-law and continued to eat her own food. Zhou Ziyi thought that the two of them must be used to it. No wonder Chu Ling and Yan Xiuji didn't look happy when this group of relatives suddenly appeared.
After dinner, except for Yan Meiyue who left, everyone else returned to the living room together.
Zhou Ziyi looked at the situation and felt that he didn't need to leave right away. As soon as he sat down, he leaned close to Yan Xiuji and whispered, "I want to go to the bathroom."
They were very close, shoulders touching shoulders, looking very intimate. Zhou Ziyi was almost speaking into Yan Xiuji's ear, the faint smell of wine from dinner and the hot air he exhaled directly hit Yan Xiuji's face and ears, causing him to stiffen uncomfortably.
A second later, Yan Xiuji came back to his senses and nodded.
Zhou Ziyi thought to himself, what's the point of just nodding? I didn't get a map of your house. "Where is the toilet? Can you point me in the direction?"
Yan Xiuji quietly moved a little further away, turned his head and glanced: "Go inside the corridor over there, on the right."
"Okay." Zhou Ziyi patted his leg naturally, stood up and walked over.
Yan Xiuji's eyes unconsciously looked at the place where the photo was taken, then looked at Zhou Ziyi's back, and then looked away.
Aunt Yan's husband also stood up and took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket: "I'm going to have a cigarette."
My aunt was not very happy: "Let's go outside. It stinks."
"I know. Do you want me to tell you?"
After answering, my uncle also went to the corridor, where there was also a door leading to the garden.
***
Zhou Ziyi came out of the toilet and returned the same way.
When I passed by the door leading to the back garden, I saw some smoke floating in before I walked in. After walking a few steps forward, I saw Yan Xiuzhi's uncle standing at the door smoking.
The two of them inadvertently made eye contact, and Zhou Ziyi nodded at him out of (professional) courtesy.
My uncle ignored it and turned his eyes away.
Zhou Ziyi didn't expect any reaction from him and walked straight over. However, just as he passed the door, a question suddenly came from behind him: "Is this how you seduced Yan Xiuji?"
"……What?"
Zhou Ziyi paused, put his hands in his pockets, and looked back at his uncle: "What do you mean?"
"Don't you understand what I mean?" The uncle sneered, "Aren't you here just for the Yan family's money? A student who doesn't study hard abroad is only doing this kind of thing?"
Zhou Ziyi frowned: "Uncle, please be respectful."
"Respect? That's for ordinary people." My uncle shook his cigarette and said in a bad and sarcastic tone, "Are you a duck worthy of my respect, huh?"
Zhou Ziyi said coldly: "What did you say?"
"Isn't it? You are used to doing this kind of thing, right?" The uncle looked Zhou Ziyi up and down with malicious eyes, "You think you can get out of this by relying on Yan Xiuji, huh? You slept with men before? How much for one night?"
Zhou Ziyi was quite convinced.
President Yan looks like a highly qualified and good-looking super talent, how come all his family members are of this level? Is what his uncle said something that an elder should say to his future nephew-in-law when meeting him for the first time?
——Yan Xiuzhi said that he could not be bullied and could not lose face.
——So, when you reach the limit of endurance, there is no need to endure it anymore, right?
Zhou Ziyi put his hands in his pockets, lowered his eyes and smiled silently, then raised his eyes with a surprised expression: "Uncle, how can you say such things to me... If you want to find a duck, go to the street to find one! I'm Yan Xiuji's boyfriend, and you actually want to buy me for one night, are you crazy?"
My uncle frowned and was about to retort, but Zhou Ziyi continued, "Could it be that you asked me this because you saw that I'm Yan Xiuji's boyfriend and I look easy to bully? Are you the kind of pervert who finds family ethics the most exciting? Do you only target young and beautiful men among your relatives?"
My uncle stared at him, wanting to curse but not daring to say it too loudly: "What did you say?!"
Zhou Ziyi had more words to say: "You, you haven't touched Yan Xiuji's brain, right? I'm warning you, don't touch a hair on his head!"
My uncle raised his eyebrows and said, "You f---!"
"Pervert, I dare not talk to you alone." Zhou Ziyi didn't listen to the other party's rebuttal or scolding, and turned around to retreat tactically.
He was long-legged and not arrogant, and he walked out of the corridor in two or three steps. His uncle wanted to chase him and scold him, but he couldn't catch up, and he couldn't shout back. He bulged his eyes in place, and the cigarette was still hot, so he threw it away with a "tsk" sound and stomped it out.
On the other side, Zhou Ziyi quickly returned to the living room.
Yan Xiuzhi was still sitting on the sofa, and the seat next to him was still empty, so Zhou Ziyi naturally sat back next to him.
Yan Xiuji noticed that he looked a little strange, and that he was walking hurriedly, as if he was being chased by enemies. He raised his eyebrows and asked about the matter. Zhou Ziyi shook his head slightly and said nothing.
Chu Ling personally brought out a plate of fruit and placed it on the coffee table: "Eat some fruit."
The fruit was placed in front of Yan Xiuji, and Zhou Ziyi took advantage of it and said, "Thank you, Auntie."
While speaking, he quietly pushed Yan Xiuzhi's arm slightly. Yan Xiuzhi actually understood and reached out to take another tribute orange and gave it to him.
Zhou Ziyi tore off a piece of tissue and began to peel the skin.
Just then, my uncle came back with a gloomy face. Seeing his gloomy expression, my aunt asked, "Why do you look like that? Who messed with you while you were smoking a cigarette?"
As soon as he said this, Yan Xiuzhi glanced at Zhou Ziyi.
The only person who had a chance encounter with his uncle just now was Zhou Ziyi who was going to the toilet.
"This young man is so rude!"
The uncle didn't even sit down. He pointed at Zhou Ziyi and started scolding him: "I was just smoking peacefully. I saw him passing by and said something to him, but he turned around and scolded me! He said I was crazy! Do you know what politeness is, huh? You want to marry Yan Xiuji, and you treat Yan Xiuji's elders like this? Yan Xiuji, do you know what kind of person this is that you want to marry him?!"
Zhou Ziyi: Wow, the thief crying "stop thief"?
His thought only lasted a moment, and when everyone looked at him carefully, his face had already turned cold.
"Why are you glaring at me? Did I say something wrong?" The uncle continued, "You went crazy and cursed, and then ran away. You acted like this the first time you came to the Yan family. Will you treat Yan Xiuji's parents the same way in the future?"
My uncle was sure that he would not dare to say those dirty words just now, and he took advantage of his seniority to speak first. Moreover, there were so many members of the Yan family present, and they did not like Yan Xiuji as a boyfriend. My uncle felt that they would definitely believe what he said.
However, he was wrong.
Zhou Ziyi is not someone who is so easy to bully. He is a person who has been ordered to "not be bullied".
He just didn't expect that this old guy would actually run into the gun barrel a second time. He was really an example of asking for trouble.
"...Tsk, I wanted to keep it a secret, otherwise my brother would definitely be unhappy."
Zhou Ziyi finally spoke, looking angry and aggrieved: "You can't say I'm impolite just because I rejected you just now."
When these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Others were shocked by the brilliant elaboration of Zhou Ziyi's words, and my uncle was shocked by the fact that he actually dared to say such words in front of so many people.
My aunt immediately started to get angry: "What did you say?!"
"I'm talking about the conversation we just had." Zhou Ziyi glanced at her aunt, then at her husband. "Uncle asked me how much for a night, but I'm not a prostitute. If uncle wants to pay for a night with a prostitute, he can go outside and look for one among his relatives. You can't tell others about your special hobbies."
Everyone was just dumbfounded:? ! ? ! ? !
My uncle was furious at what he said: "You are slandering me! I didn't say that! You lied so much, I think your mother didn't..."
Zhou Ziyi's eyes became fierce.
“In that case, let’s all be the judge.” Zhou Ziyi put down the half-peeled tangerine, took out his cell phone from his pocket, and placed it on the table. A white round pendant made a clicking sound.
"After listening to the recording, you can't deny it, right?"
