Zhang Zhiqin walked into the living room and asked Mo Yan in surprise:
"Sister Mo, what's wrong with you? Didn't we agree to make it clear to my uncle and aunt that we are just ordinary friends?"
Facing his questioning, Mo Yan trembled, her face showing panic. Like a poor little girl who humbly loves her boyfriend and dares not refuse any of his requests, she hurriedly apologized to Zhang Zhiqin:
"I'm sorry. It's my fault."
Then he turned to Li Xueke and Zhou Xiuyu and bowed again:
"Uncle, aunt, please don't misunderstand Zhiqin. He and I are really just...just ordinary friends. It was all my fault yesterday. I can apologize to Miss Zhan in person. Please don't blame Zhiqin."
When saying the words "ordinary friends", Mo Yan paused intentionally and lowered her head slightly, as if to hide the redness of her eyes. Zhou Xiuyu's heart trembled when she saw it, and she immediately felt sympathy for this simple "big girl".
Li Xue Ke coughed and felt a little embarrassed. He really didn't expect that his seemingly honest nephew was actually a master at playing with people's feelings, making such a well-educated, gentle and kind girl so devoted to him.
Not only did he abandon her to go on a blind date, but after being caught, he even asked Xiao Mo to come and apologize to him and clear the air for him.
Looking at Xiao Mo's appearance, it is obvious that she is the one who gives in this relationship, and is extremely humble. In order to maintain this relationship, she even chooses to forgive Zhang Zhiqin for going on a blind date behind her back, and even unconditionally agrees to Zhang Zhiqin's unreasonable request.
Li Xueke and Zhou Xiuyu exchanged a glance, then simultaneously looked at Zhang Zhiqin. Their nephew was clearly...
What a scumbag!
"Uncle and Mom, look, I'm not talking nonsense, Sister Mo and I are really just ordinary friends."
And the silly Zhang Zhiqin doesn't even know that he has been labeled a scumbag in the eyes of his two elders.
Seeing that Mo Yan had finally clarified everything to his uncle and mother according to what they had agreed upon before, he immediately looked at them with an innocent face, thinking that the misunderstanding was finally resolved, right?
"Alas...poor child."
Zhou Xiuyu suddenly sighed, stood up, took Mo Yan's hand and asked her to sit down. She carefully smoothed her bangs that had drooped due to her strong bowing, and said guiltily:
"In this matter, Zhiqin has let you down. Don't worry, although we are his elders, we are also reasonable. You go back today and I will talk to Zhiqin. In short, he will never let you down again."
Mo Yan looked up at Zhou Xiuyu in surprise, and choked up:
"Aunt, thank you, but..."
She looked at Zhang Zhiqin with a worried look, then turned to Zhou Xiuyu and Li Xueke and said:
"Please don't scold Zhiqin. He's actually very good to me. I'm just too stupid. I'm so much older than him, but I'm still so ignorant and not virtuous enough. It's all my fault."
The more Zhou Xiuyu looked at Xiao Mo, the more pity she felt, and at the same time, the angrier she became towards Zhang Zhiqin. She gently hugged Mo Yan and said softly:
"Don't worry, we're just talking to Zhiqin. Age isn't a problem. You're so well-educated and considerate, and you shouldn't blame yourself for everything. Such a good girl shouldn't be let down!"
As she spoke, Zhou Xiuyu glared at Zhang Zhiqin coldly again, then took Mo Yan's hand and stood up, and sent her to the door with gentle words.
Li Xueke also followed behind with a guilty conscience. When Mo Yan left, he turned back and begged them not to blame Zhang Zhiqin. This made them feel that their nephew could not afford to lose face. Li Xueke solemnly promised Mo Yan:
"Xiao Mo, don't worry, we will not take sides in this matter and will definitely give you an explanation!"
After seeing Mo Yan off, the two men walked back to the living room with gloomy faces.
Zhang Zhiqin finally realized that something seemed amiss and asked Zhou Xiuyu cautiously:
"Aunt, what are you doing..."
"Don't call me aunt, stand up right there! Stop smiling like that!"
Zhou Xiuyu is now furious when she sees her "scumbag" nephew Zhang Zhiqin. She thinks that her sister-in-law's family are all honest people, so how could they raise a scumbag like Zhang Zhiqin?
And it's hidden so deeply!
Zhang Zhiqin was startled. He didn't expect that his aunt, who usually doted on him, would suddenly be so fierce. He stood up subconsciously.
"Zhiqin, tell us honestly, what is your relationship with Xiaomo?"
Li Xueke looked at Zhang Zhiqin seriously, and then added:
"Your aunt and I care about you very much. We hope you won't hide anything from us."
Zhang Zhiqin was confused and thought, didn’t Sister Mo tell you all this in person just now?
Why are you asking me?
However, after spending a long time with Mo Yan and experiencing Sister Mo's mood swings, Zhang Zhiqin's intuition about danger has become much sharper. He subconsciously feels that if he answers "I have nothing to do with Mo Yan", his fate may be more miserable.
So Zhang Zhiqin answered very cleverly:
"Uncle, aunt, actually... I'm not too sure what the relationship between me and Sister Mo is. Anyway, we're better than just ordinary friends, right?"
There was silence in the living room. Li Xueke and Zhou Xiuyu looked at each other, and the coldness on their faces eased a little.
At least Zhang Zhiqin no longer insisted that he had nothing to do with Xiao Mo, which showed that he still had a conscience.
Ahem. Li Xueke coughed and said to Zhang Zhiqin:
"Zhiqin, you've been an honest child since childhood. I believe you were just having fun this time, but you must remember that a man must be responsible, especially since you've just made some achievements at work. If these things get to know about it, it will affect your career."
