Chapter 537 Dongzi’s Girlfriend

Evening.

In a private room of a high-end restaurant in Shanghai, two young men and women are having dinner.

"Dongzi, this braised catfish is one of our famous Shanghai dishes. It tastes pretty good. You should try it." The young woman who spoke looked to be about 23 or 24 years old. She was as beautiful as a flower and a standard beauty.

While speaking, the beautiful lady used her chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish and put it in Dongzi's bowl.

Dongzi couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and nodded, "Well, I'll try it."

The taste of salty with sweetness would probably be similar to dark cuisine if it were sold in other provinces where people don't eat sweet dishes. However, there are many sweet dishes in Guangxi, and Dongzi has eaten a lot of sweet dishes since he was a child, so he easily accepted the taste.

As he ate, he praised: "It tastes really good."

The beautiful lady continued to smile as she served him some food and said, "And this Fengjing Dingti is also a specialty. You should try it."

Dongzi also picked up a piece of Fengjing Dingti for her and said with a smile: "Lanlan, you eat too."

Shen Xianglan said yes with a smile, and began to eat gracefully. The way she ate was comparable to that of the ladies from ancient times. One could tell at a glance that her family background was not simple.

The two of them ate tenderly for more than half an hour. When they were almost done, Dongzi asked, "Lanlan, are you full?"

Shen Xianglan said: "I'm full!"

"Then let's go!"

"Um!"

Then, the two of them walked out of the box hand in hand and went to the cashier to pay.

Just as the two of them paid the bill and were about to leave, several young men came out of another private room and prepared to pay the bill.

One of the young men saw Dongzi and Shen Xianglan holding hands, and a surprised expression appeared on his face: "Lanlan!"

Shen Xianglan looked in the direction of the voice and also revealed a surprised expression: "Brother!"

The other young man stared at their holding hands, and asked with a distorted face: "Lanlan, who is he?"

Hearing his questioning tone, Shen Xianglan replied with some displeasure in her heart: "Zou Weijie, he is my boyfriend, and please call me by my full name, thank you!"

Zou Weijie's face instantly turned pale when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You rejected me just for this little bastard?"

Dongzi originally didn't know who they were, but when he heard this guy's rude words, he immediately said, "You are the little bastard, your whole family is little bastards."

"shut up!"

"Dongzi!"

The Shen siblings spoke almost at the same time, the difference was that Shen Baoshan's tone was scolding, while Shen Xianglan's tone was mixed with a hint of worry.

Zou Weijie obviously didn't expect Dongzi to dare to scold him, and he laughed in anger: "Interesting, really fucking interesting."

A young man following behind Zou Weijie realized that this was an opportunity to flatter him, and immediately jumped out and shouted, "Good boy, you are really brave. You actually dare to scold our Young Master Zou. Do you know who our Young Master Zou is?"

Dongzi said calmly: "I don't care who he is. If he can scold me, why can't I scold him?"

The young man sneered, "Can you compare with Master Zou? It's your honor if Master Zou scolds you!"

Seeing that her boyfriend still wanted to argue with the other party, Shen Xianglan couldn't help but pull her boyfriend's hand and whispered, "Dongzi, stop talking, let's go!"

Dongzi was too lazy to argue with them, so he nodded and said, "Yeah!"

Zou Weijie snorted coldly: "Stop, you want to leave after I scold you?"

Shen Xianglan couldn't help but stop and frowned, "Zou Weijie, you were the one who cursed first, and my boyfriend just said something back, what else do you want?"

While speaking, he glared at his brother fiercely.

Although Shen Baoshan disliked the man standing next to his sister, he still loved his sister. Seeing that his sister was a little angry, he could only stand up and say, "Weijie, give me some face and don't embarrass him here."

Seeing Shen Baoshan come forward, Zou Weijie could only look at Dongzi deeply and said, "Since Brother Shan has come forward, I naturally have to give him face."

Shen Xianglan then took her boyfriend's hand and said, "Let's go!"

Dongzi didn't say much, just nodded to his future brother-in-law, and let his girlfriend pull him out of the restaurant.

Zou Weijie just stood there and watched, his face looking a little gloomy. He had been pursuing Shen Xianglan for not just one or two days, but for two or three years. However, in the first two years, Shen Xianglan had always rejected him by saying that she didn't want to have a relationship while she was studying.

When she graduated from university last year, he also got the support of Shen Xianglan's brother Shen Baoshan, but unfortunately he was rejected by her without hesitation.

However, Zou Weijie was still not discouraged, mainly because in his circle, Shen Xianglan was indeed the most outstanding girl. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also a top student at Peking University. Moreover, both of them had similar family backgrounds. If he could marry her and get the support of the Shen family, his status in the family would be further improved.

Therefore, Zou Weijie recently planned to start from Shen's father and mother. As long as he could find a way to get the support of Shen's father and mother, he believed that Shen Xianglan would not be able to escape from his control.

But he never expected that before he found a chance to act, his house was robbed by this little bastard who came out of nowhere. This was a great shame and humiliation.

Shen Baoshan roughly understood Zou Weijie's mood at the moment, and he could only comfort him: "Weijie, don't worry for now. Wait until my sister comes home tonight, and I will ask her carefully, and by the way, find out the details of that boy."

Zou Weijie quickly adjusted his mentality and said, "Brother Shan, I'll leave it to you. Call me as soon as there is any situation."

Shen Baoshan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave first and call you later."

"OK."

"Brother Shan, walk slowly!"

…

After leaving the restaurant, Shen Xianglan complained, "Dongzi, you were too impulsive just now. There are more people on their side. You will suffer a loss after the conflict."

Dongzi smiled and said, "Are you worried that I will be beaten by them?"

Shen Xianglan rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're my boyfriend, of course I'm worried. They're not easy to deal with, most people don't dare to mess with them. Luckily my brother is here today, otherwise it wouldn't be that easy to get away with scolding him."

Dongzi said with a grin, "Then I have to thank my brother-in-law!"

Shen Xianglan spat, "You are such a snob. Who is your brother-in-law? Seriously, don't be so impulsive in the future!"

Dongzi said, "How am I impulsive? He called me a brat right in front of me, and I'm not allowed to say a word back?"

Shen Xianglan said earnestly: "It's not that you can't curse back, but it depends on the situation. As the saying goes, a good man never suffers a loss in front of him. When there are so many people, of course you should endure it if you can. After all, a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall!"

"I understand what you mean, but since I'm scolding you, I'm sure I won't suffer any loss, so don't worry!"

At this point, Dongzi asked, "Look at that little red guy who was so arrogant just now, where is his background?"

Shen Xianglan glanced at him before answering, "He is Leader Zou's youngest son."

Dongzi took a deep breath and said with emotion: "No wonder he is so arrogant, he must have a great background!"

Shen Xianglan glanced at him and said, "Are you scared now?"

Dongzi puffed out his chest and said in a cocky tone, "I'm not afraid of him. I'm a famous writer with millions of fans. If he dares to do anything to me, I will expose him online. I don't believe he isn't afraid."

Shen Xianglan liked his confident look and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't let him touch you."

Dongzi smiled and didn't mention it again. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "Lanlan, I have already met my brother-in-law today. I think it's time to take some time to visit my father-in-law and mother-in-law. What do you think?"

Shen Xianglan couldn't help but reach out and hit him, saying shyly: "Hate it, stop yelling, who are your father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

Dongzi said with a smile: "It's only a matter of time!"

Just as Shen Xianglan was about to speak, the cell phone hanging on her chest rang. She picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID, saying, "My mom's call."

Dongzi said: "Then answer it quickly!"

Shen Xianglan nodded, then walked to the side and answered the phone, "Mom!"

Mother Shen's voice came over the phone: "Lanlan, I heard from your brother that you have a boyfriend?"

Being caught by her elder brother, Shen Xianglan was mentally prepared for this, and she directly admitted: "Yes, I have a boyfriend!"

Shen's mother asked, "Are you with him now?"

Shen Xianglan said: "Yes."

Mother Shen said: "Lanlan, your father is at home now, please come back, we want to have a good talk with you."

Shen Xianglan knew that she would have to get through this test with her parents sooner or later, so she said, "Okay, I'll take the bus back now."

Mother Shen said, "Well, let's talk about it when we get back. I'm hanging up now!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Shen Xianglan said: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Xianglan looked at her boyfriend.

Dongzi asked, "Your mother called you home?"

Shen Xianglan nodded and said, "Well, my brother probably called my mother. My mother asked me to go back to talk about you and me."

Dongzi smiled and said, "That's great. You can talk to my father-in-law and mother-in-law and see when it would be best for me to visit them?"

Shen Xianglan rolled her eyes at him: "It's already this hour, and you're still in the mood to joke!"

Dongzi said, "I'm not kidding. I'm serious. We've been dating for quite some time, and it's time for us to meet our parents. I know what you're worried about, but please believe me. I have great confidence that I can please my father-in-law and mother-in-law and get them to bless us."

Seeing his confident look, Shen Xianglan put aside her worries and said with a smile, "Okay, then I'll wait and see how you please my parents."

Dongzi vowed: "I promise I won't let you down."

Shen Xianglan said: "Okay, let's not talk too much. My parents are waiting for me at home. I will go back first!"

Dongzi waved to help her stop a car and said, "Call me anytime if anything happens."

Shen Xianglan nodded and said, "Got it!"

…

Procuratorate family building.

Mr. Shen was sitting on the sofa smoking, and Mrs. Shen was sitting on the other side of the sofa with a frown on her face.

As for Shen Baoshan, he was also holding a cigarette and puffing away.

This was the scene Shen Xianglan saw when she opened the door. She changed her shoes and greeted them casually, "Dad, Mom, I'm back!"

Shen's mother asked directly, "Lanlan, when did you start dating a boyfriend?"

Shen Xianglan walked to the single sofa and sat down, and replied: "He pursued me when I was a freshman, but he actually agreed to be his girlfriend only last month."

When Shen's father, Shen's mother, and Shen Baoshan heard this, they all showed surprised expressions.

Mother Shen asked again: "Is he your classmate or a native of Beijing?"

Shen Xianglan shook her head and said, "Neither. He is from Guangxi and is also studying at a university in Beijing."

Shen Baoshan couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "Lanlan, is he from Tsinghua University?"

Shen Xianglan shook her head again and said, "No, it's just an ordinary university."

Mother Shen frowned and said, "Lanlan, you are a top student at Peking University, but your boyfriend is from an ordinary university? Wouldn't people laugh if you tell them this?"

Shen Xianglan said, "Mom, I think the main thing to look for in a partner is the other person's personality and ability. It doesn't really matter which university he attends. Besides, even though he only attends an ordinary university, he is still very talented."

Father Shen continued, "Lanlan is right. When looking for a partner, one should mainly look at the other person's personality and ability. As long as the other person has a good personality and is really capable, then whether or not he graduated from a prestigious university is not that important."

Shen's mother asked, "What does he do for a living?"

Shen Xianglan replied proudly: "He is an online writer. He published his first novel when he was a freshman in college. He is really talented."

Shen's mother was puzzled: "A writer is a writer, why is he called an online writer?"

Shen Baoshan continued, "Mom, I know this. Internet writers are writers who write novels on the Internet. They are very different from traditional writers. To be precise, it is difficult for ordinary people to become traditional writers. Every traditional writer is a talented person.

However, the threshold to become an online writer is relatively low. Basically, as long as you know how to use the Internet and can type, you are qualified to become an online writer. The levels of this group of online writers are uneven. There are writers with relatively high levels, but there are also writers whose levels are hard to describe.

Generally speaking, these online writers are looked down upon by traditional writers and have no social status.”

As soon as these words came out, both Mr. and Mrs. Shen frowned.

Mother Shen looked at her daughter and said, "Lanlan, is that so?"

Shen Xianglan said, "Brother is right. The status of online writers is generally not as good as that of traditional writers, but the overall situation does not represent the individual. The boyfriend I chose is naturally not a useless online writer. He is a leading figure among online writers and can easily make millions a year."

Father Shen said in surprise, "How can this online writer make so much money?"

Shen's mother was also very surprised when she heard this. Being able to earn several million a year would be an amazing figure even in the future, surpassing more than 90% of the people in the country. And in this era, it would be even more amazing.

If nothing else, just look at the housing prices of this era and it will be clear.

Take Shanghai for example, even in a developed place like Pudong, the average price of commercial housing at that time was only about 16,000 yuan. The housing prices in ordinary county towns were even lower, less than 1,000 yuan, which was extremely cheap compared to later generations.

Therefore, in this era, earning several million yuan a year and being able to buy two or three houses in Shanghai is really amazing.

Shen Xianglan smiled and replied, "Dad, not all online writers can make this much money. Some online writers can't even make enough to cover their internet fees, let alone earn millions a year."

Although Shen Baoshan was somewhat shocked by the earning ability of the boyfriend his sister chose, he was still more optimistic about Zou Weijie, so he interrupted and said, "Lanlan, I admit that the boyfriend you found is indeed very capable of making money, but how can his conditions compare to Zou Weijie? Zou Weijie is the son of Leader Zou, and is a good match for our family. Moreover, Zou Weijie's grandfather is the CEO of a listed company. The wealth in his family is enough for your boyfriend to earn for a hundred years. I always think that Zou Weijie is your perfect match."

Shen Xianglan shook her head and said, "Brother, feelings are something that cannot be forced. Zou Weijie has been pursuing me for two or three years, but I have no feelings for him at all. His family background is indeed quite impressive, but that is the ability of his elders, not his own ability.

Compared to his personal abilities, Zou Weijie is not even worthy of carrying my boyfriend’s shoes.”

Father Shen and Mother Shen couldn't help but look at each other, and Mother Shen said, "Lanlan, have you decided on this boyfriend?"

Shen Xianglan said: "He was able to earn millions a year during college. If someone else had such an income, they would have long forgotten their last name, but he always kept a normal mind and pursued me for several years without knowing my background.

After graduating from university, he stayed in Beijing for me. When I graduated from university and returned to Shanghai to work, he followed me to Shanghai.

If you miss such a capable and infatuated man, you may never find another one, so I have chosen him. I hope you, mom and dad, can bless me."

Mother Shen is not the kind of mother who only cares about interests. Her daughter's current boyfriend, except that his family background is not as good as that of the boy from Leader Zou's family (since her daughter never mentioned her boyfriend's family background, she subconsciously thought that his family background was just average), is indeed good enough in personal ability. Besides, her daughter has already fallen in love with him, so there is really no need to forcibly separate them.

Thinking of this, Shen's mother looked at the head of the family and asked, "Old Shen, what do you think?"

Father Shen put out his cigarette and said, "Since you like her, Lanlan, we as your parents will naturally bless you. Take some time to bring her back to us!"
