Chapter 163 I Don't Acknowledge That I'm a Member of the Sheng Family
Li Mai: "I do not acknowledge myself as a member of the Sheng family."
That's no kind of father to her; she doesn't acknowledge him.
You Huan paused for a moment and then laughed: "You're right, let those idiots from the Sheng family get out of here, who wants to be related to them?"
...
When Zhou Songyan entered the room, he saw Peng Zixu sitting on the sofa and paused for a moment.
What brings you here?
Peng Zixu pointed to the kitchen: "I'm a family member today."
Zhou Songyan glanced at the kitchen and raised an eyebrow: "Are you done?"
Peng Zixu nodded with a slight smile.
Ten minutes later, You Huan came out with a plate and called out to the two men chatting on the sofa, "Dinner's ready."
Then he went to the stairwell and shouted, "Chengcheng! Godson! Dinner's ready!"
Zhou Songyan and Peng Zixu: "..."
Zhou Songyan glanced at Peng Zixu and said, "Your woman is a shrew."
Peng Zixu laughed: "No, she's very gentle at home."
"hehe."
What do you mean by "hehe"?
"It means 'hehe'."
Peng Zixu followed Zhou Songyan to the restaurant.
Zhou Songyan drifted off to the kitchen.
As Peng Zixu approached, he saw Zhou Songyan with his arm around Li Mai's waist, pulling her face towards him and kissing her.
He quickly retreated.
You Huan was about to go to the kitchen to get some dishes when Peng Zixu stopped her, saying, "Don't go."
You Huan: "It's not finished yet."
"You don't need to carry it; someone else will."
You Huan was a shrewd person, and immediately understood, giving a sly smile.
Li Mai pushed Zhou Songyan away and said coquettishly, "There are still people outside."
"What's there to be afraid of?"
Li Mai glared at him: "You're so shameless!"
Zhou Songyan raised his hand and pinched her face; it was smooth and delicate.
"You're so shy."
Li Mai shoved two plates of food into his hands: "Take them out."
The two of them came out one after the other, carrying dishes.
After setting the dishes down, Zhou Songyan pressed Li Mai down into a chair: "Sit still and don't move."
She turned and pulled Chengcheng into the kitchen.
"Take the rice."
Zhou Songyan stood in front of the rice cooker, scooped a bowl of rice and placed it in Chengcheng's little hand: "Take it out to Mom, and come back in later."
"oh."
Chengcheng ran out with the bowl in his arms, placed the rice in front of Limai, and then ran back to the kitchen.
The father and son worked as a rice server and a waiter, respectively.
Finally, Zhou Songyan came out carrying a bowl of rice in one hand and a pair of chopsticks in the other.
"Dinner is served."
Chengcheng climbed onto the chair and sat down, then obediently ate his meal.
You Huan joked, "You and your son get along really well, huh?"
This made her want to have a son too.
Li Mai looked at the father and son with satisfaction.
Zhou Songyan is still willing to listen to advice, and she has been getting along much better with Chengcheng lately.
Sheng Zhaohui eagerly awaited his arrival from his private room at the hotel.
"Why aren't they here yet?"
He took out his phone and called Li Shirong: "Li Mai hasn't arrived yet. Call me quickly and ask where she is."
Li Shirong: "Can't you type it yourself?"
"I called her but she didn't answer."
"Wait."
After hanging up the phone, Li Shirong called Li Mai again.
Li Mai took out her phone, glanced at it, and answered the call.
Li Shirong's impatient voice came through: "Didn't I send you the address? Why hasn't it arrived yet?"
Li Mai: "I didn't say I was going."
"You! You're just arguing! Go there right now!"
"hehe."
What do you mean by "hehe"?
"It means 'hehe'."
Li Shirong: "..."
Peng Zixu: "..."
I've heard that couples who live together for a long time start to look alike. Does that mean they even talk the same way?
Li Shirong hung up the phone and called Sheng Zhaohui: "She doesn't want to go."
Sheng Zhaohui was furious; he sat in the private room for two hours straight.
Frustrated with waiting, he couldn't help but vent his anger on Li Shirong.
"Didn't you say she would come?"
Li Shirong: "How was I supposed to know she wasn't coming? I already told you, that brat is really cold right now, why did you have to provoke her!"
"It's all your fault. If you had been nicer to her, this wouldn't have happened."
Li Shirong, who was eating, suddenly slammed down her chopsticks and yelled, "Sheng Zhaohui, are you crazy?!"
She didn't want to talk anymore and hung up the phone.
When she looked up, she met Zheng Anze's surprised gaze.
"Mom, what does Sheng Zhaohui want with you?"
He had always known about Sheng Zhaohui, Li Mai's biological father.
However, that past was not honorable, and he always had a problem with his mother working for others and was unwilling to mention Sheng Zhaohui's affairs.
Li Mai had previously asked him about his biological father, but he hadn't told the truth.
Li Shirong: "He has met with Li Mai, but Li Mai ignored him. He wants me to ask Li Mai to come out."
Zheng Anze frowned and remained silent.
...
Zhou Songyan didn't even need to look to guess who was calling Li Mai; it was either Li Shirong or Sheng Zhaohui.
Li Mai is usually very gentle, but she gets angry and upset with those two.
He placed a piece of fish on Li Mai's plate: "Eat."
Li Mai snapped out of her daze and lowered her head to eat her vegetables.
...
The next day was Saturday.
Zhou Songyan took Li Mai and Chengcheng back to the old house for dinner.
Zhou Qianlian and her family also went back.
Zhou Qianlian took out a bag and handed it to Li Mai: "Here you go."
Li Mai was a little taken aback.
Zhang Jingran grinned and grabbed the bag, stuffing it into Li Mai's arms.
"Sister-in-law, these are skincare and makeup products my mom gave you. My mom runs the Zhou family's cosmetics company, and these skincare and makeup products they developed are really good. I use them myself. Take them home and try them out. Don't buy any more skincare and makeup products for the house after this. Just ask my mom when you run out."
Zhou Qianlian gave her daughter a playful glare.
She talks too much, so we let her say everything.
Li Mai looked up at Zhou Qianlian and said, "Thank you, Auntie."
Zhou Qianlian waved her hand: "No need to thank me, the company has plenty of these things."
Li Mai knew that Zhou Qianlian was trying to make amends with her.
She was very happy.
Grandma Zhou was relieved; her daughter wasn't a bad person, and her initial hostility towards Li Mai was out of consideration for her nephew.
Now that she understands Li Mai's character, she has let go of her prejudices.
While the family was having dinner, the servant came in and said, "Sir, someone is looking for you outside."
Zhou Jingtian: "Who?"
The maid glanced quickly at Zhou Songyan, then lowered her head and said, "Young Master's mother."
Zhou Songyan's face turned cold.
He slammed down his chopsticks.
Zhou Jingtian's expression was also unpleasant. He instructed the servant, "Let her leave. Don't see her."
The maid hurriedly ran out.
Zhou Qianlian spoke up: "How dare Han Ying come to see Big Brother? I'm going to go out and give her a piece of my mind."
Zhang Boxiong pulled her back and said in a low voice, "Don't make things worse."
Zhou Qianlian has a fiery temper, and the person she hates most is Han Ying, who made her older brother lose face and break his heart.
She shoved Zhang Boxiong aside and stormed out.
Zhang Jingran put down her chopsticks: "Mom, I'll go with you."
Zhang Junzheng also got up and ran out.
Fearing that Zhou Qianlian would cause too much trouble, Zhang Boxiong quickly ran out to break up the fight.
When Zhou Qianlian went out, Han Ying was arguing with the maid.
Zhou Qianlian took off her cotton slippers and threw them at Han Ying's face.
