"Hehehe..." Zhou Yuanyuan pretended to be stupid.
"Yunxiang! Your good great-granddaughter did a lot of things yesterday. You can't ask her to do the same thing as you would an ordinary girl." When General Zhou saw Zhou Yuanyuan being criticized by Zhao Yunxiang, he felt distressed and quickly protected her.
After saying this, General Zhou was afraid that Zhou Yuanyuan might feel uncomfortable, so he immediately comforted her and said, "Your mother is just saying it. It's okay. The world is big and the students are the most important. Today is Sunday, you can sleep in as late as you want, little darling."
"Grandpa, please protect her! Such a grown-up girl still sleeps in the morning. In our era, she would definitely be nagged as a "lazy person". It's a good thing Ziqing doesn't despise her." Zhao Yunxiang secretly glanced at Wen Ziqing.
Zhou Yuanyuan turned around and smiled secretly. No wonder her mother started to lecture her today. It seemed that...was her mother afraid that Wen Ziqing would dislike her?
"Aunt Yunxiang, Yuanyuan is so nice, how dare I despise her? I just hope she doesn't despise me." Wen Ziqing saw Zhou Yuanyuan secretly grinning and waving her fists at him, so he quickly expressed his opinion.
Even if Zhou Yuanyuan hadn't hinted, Wen Ziqing was prepared to say nice things to please his future mother-in-law. Ever since Yuanyuan appeared in the living room, his future father-in-law had been glaring at him non-stop. Compared to the difficult-to-please father-in-law, Zhao Yunxiang was clearly easier to please.
"Ziqing! I really made you laugh. My daughter Yuanyuan never sleeps in. It must be because of your return to Kyoto that the child was so excited that she couldn't sleep. Yes, yes, that's right. If you don't sleep well at night, you will be too groggy at dawn!" Zhao Yunxiang tried her best to restore her daughter's image in front of Wen Ziqing.
Poor parents in the world. Zhao Yunxiang is very satisfied with Wen Ziqing, her future son-in-law, but she is afraid that Wen Ziqing will be dissatisfied with his daughter.
Although Zhou Yuanyuan was excellent, in Zhao Yunxiang's eyes, Wen Ziqing was no less capable. Young people sometimes fell out over trivial matters, and Zhao Yunxiang had felt uneasy even before Zhou Yuanyuan got married.
Wen Ziqing didn't dare to respond. He thought that Zhao Yunxiang was using the fact that he and Zhou Yuanyuan came home late last night to warn him, and he couldn't help feeling guilty.
"My dear! What did the kid from the Zhu family trick you into going out for last night?" General Zhou remembered what Zhou Xi said early in the morning, that Zhu Xiaojun's phone call last night was a lie. He had been restless all morning. If he hadn't been afraid of disturbing Zhou Yuanyuan's sleep, General Zhou would have wanted to go upstairs to find Zhou Yuanyuan and ask her.
"Grandpa Zeng, those two things yesterday were actually one thing. Zhu Xiaojun and Liu Meiling are dating!" Zhou Yuanyuan was still upset when she talked about this. General Zhou had just rejected Zhang Jintao's request, and moments later, Zhou Yuanyuan was involved in Zhu Xiaojun's incident. What a coincidence.
"Found it?" General Zhou knew Zhou Yuanyuan's personality. Since Zhu Xiaojun was involved, she certainly wouldn't forcefully refuse. Forget it, just consider it Liu Meiling's good luck that her little darling offered to help.
"Not yet. But I have some idea." Zhou Yuanyuan remembered that Zhu Xiaojun and Liu Meifang had some of their luck taken away last night. She wanted to tell General Zhou, but was afraid of causing Zhao Yunxiang to panic. The words turned around on her tongue, but she swallowed them back.
"Zhou Yuanyuan, you little liar, are you going on a mission again?" Zhao Yunxiang felt something was wrong and couldn't help but glare at him.
Zhou Yuanyuan held her forehead in her hand. Her mother had always been so quiet. Luckily, General Zhou was a generous and forgiving elder who never bothered with Zhao Yunxiang's trivial matters. A more persnickety person would have thought Zhao Yunxiang had something against him.
"No, no, Mom, didn't you tell me not to take any more missions? I was just helping out as a friendly favor." Zhou Yuanyuan explained quickly, otherwise, she knew her mother would beat her up if she got angry.
"That's the same thing, isn't it?" Zhao Yunxiang was unhappy. The college entrance exam was just around the corner, and this kid was actually meddling in other people's business. It really made her furious.
Seeing that Zhao Yunxiang was really rushing towards her with great momentum and wanted to slap her on the butt, Zhou Yuanyuan quickly jumped up and hid behind Wen Ziqing.
Over the years, Zhao Yunxiang had been doing the same thing as always, scolding the child first and then spanking him if he continued to disobey. While the force of Zhao Yunxiang's spanking was negligible to Zhou Yuanyuan, Wen Ziqing was here today! It was embarrassing, wasn't it?
Wen Ziqing quickly turned his body to block Zhou Yuanyuan completely. This silent defense was like a needle, instantly piercing Zhao Yunxiang's anger.
"Zhixin's wife, it's not the child's fault. It's my old bones that are useless, and someone has stepped on my door!" General Zhou also hurried to protect Zhou Yuanyuan. Thinking of Zhang Jintao who came to the house yesterday and said a lot of sarcastic words, General Zhou's face was not looking good.
"What? Grandpa, who is so blind that you are angry? Just tell me what's the matter. Although I am incompetent, I can't let anyone come to your house and step on your face." Zhou Zhixin finally understood why General Zhou had such a gloomy face that morning.
Over the years, General Zhou had always been very low-key. Zhou Zhixin understood that General Zhou's reluctance to compete was to pave the way for him. If General Zhou's reluctance to compete led to him being seen as a "soft persimmon," Zhou Zhixin would indeed feel a little guilty.
No wonder this morning, as soon as Zhou Zhixin and Zhao Yunxiang got up, Zhou Xi said to them: The general is in a bad mood. If you are free, let Zhou Zhixin and his wife take half a day to stay at home with General Zhou.
Zhou Xi's expression was somewhat serious. Although Zhou Zhixin quickly made a phone call to arrange his work, he continued to chat with General Zhou.
General Zhou didn't say anything all morning, just chatting with everyone. But he looked obviously in a much better mood.
Zhou Zhixin felt a little guilty. He and Zhao Yunxiang had been so busy with their own affairs over the years that they had neglected General Zhou. General Zhou was getting old, and he surely wanted a lively home. Or perhaps...he and Yunxiang should both adjust their work schedules and spend more time at home with the elderly and children.
"Zhixin, it's okay. I'm not old yet! Just wait and see! Someone will come to apologize soon." General Zhou smiled kindly. Although Zhixin didn't grow up with him, he had always been filial. He had raised his children well, so he had no real complaints.
Zhou Zhixin and Zhao Yunxiang didn't go to work today, and General Zhou knew that Zhou Xi must have said something to them. However, General Zhou would not be so hypocritical as to say that he didn't need company. After all, the children were filial, and he just wanted to enjoy himself.
