Meanwhile, the women sat around another table, not drinking. Taking advantage of this moment, Zhang Lirong's mother asked her daughter with concern, "Daughter, when are you and Xiaohu planning to get married?"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Lirong replied without hesitation, "Mom, we don't plan to get married. It's fine for us to live together like this!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lirong's mother immediately became anxious and asked, "Oh dear, how can that be! Does Xiaohu not want to marry you? If so, I'll go talk to him!"
Seeing her mother's anxiety, Zhang Lirong quickly reached out to stop her and explained, "Mom, don't worry about it! It's not that he doesn't want to, it's just that he's only just turned 19 this year, which is still below the legal marriage age. There's no way he can get a marriage certificate right now!"
Zhang Lirong's words were quite something; the previously noisy dinner table instantly fell silent, and even the people at Wang Hu's table next door were drawn to look at Wang Hu's side.
Wang Hu sat there blankly, completely unaware of what had happened. After all, Zhang Lirong had just spoken in the local dialect, which was practically incomprehensible to Wang Hu, an outsider. At this moment, Zhang Lirong's father, after a slight pause, quickly recovered and continued to warmly invite Wang Hu to drink, trying to break the slightly awkward situation.
However, Zhang Lirong's mother was not optimistic about the relationship, and said with a frown, "Daughter, you have to think this through. You are 35 years old this year, and he is only 19. The age gap is so big. Can you two really get along?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lirong immediately retorted, "Mom, don't worry about it! Do you know who helped me get our house back after we gambled it all away? It was him! Not only that, he also generously gave me a lot of money so I could open a beauty salon again!"
Hearing this, Zhang Lirong's mother was speechless. Although she was still worried, she thought that Wang Hu was so willing to spend money on her daughter, so perhaps the two of them could still get married. Therefore, she wisely shut her mouth and said no more.
The men at the table originally harbored ulterior motives, intending to get Wang Hu drunk to the point of unconsciousness. However, to their utter surprise, Wang Hu had an astonishing capacity for alcohol, and after several rounds, it was these men who were all staggering and completely intoxicated.
Since Wang Hu had been drinking, he was naturally unable to drive. So, Zhang Lirong discussed with Wang Hu about staying overnight at the place, and luckily there were spare rooms available.
As evening approached, Wang Hu, feeling restless and with nothing to do, decided to go for a stroll. Zhang Lirong, seeing this, wanted to follow him, but Wang Hu considerately said, "It's getting dark, and the sea breeze is quite chilly. You're pregnant, so you should stay inside and rest!" Although reluctant, Zhang Lirong knew Wang Hu's words made sense, and could only nod in agreement.
Wang Hu strolled along alone, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the beach. There, he found the sandy shore bustling with activity; a unique barbecue party was underway.
Wang Hu glanced up casually and suddenly noticed several familiar faces in the crowd. One of them was Lin Xiaoxuan, and the other, which surprised Wang Hu greatly, was Liu Yu. These two used to be bitter rivals!
Wang Hu pondered to himself, intending to step forward and greet them. But when he looked closely, he realized that many of the young people in the group were complete strangers. For a moment, Wang Hu hesitated, abruptly stopping in his tracks.
However, Liu Yu had a sharp eye. This girl liked sports, and she especially liked the natural environment. She liked to look into the distance. When she turned around, she saw Wang Hu!
Upon seeing Wang Hu, the woman immediately retorted, "What are you looking at, you scumbag!"
Hearing Liu Yu's words, everyone else looked towards Wang Hu's location, including Lin Xiaoxuan!
