Chapter 17 Everything That Was Going to Happen Has Happened
Grandma Zhou grabbed Zhou Songyan's arm, her excitement barely concealed.
"What's that pretty girl's name? She's so beautiful!"
They were better than all the men she had found for blind dates.
Zhou Songyan pried open the old lady's hand: "Grandma, what are you doing here?"
Grandma Zhou: "Don't interrupt, quickly tell me who this pretty girl is, what her name is, and what your relationship is?"
"Grandma, don't ask, I don't want to tell you right now."
Grandma Zhou waved her fist at him, saying, "Are you trying to keep me awake tonight?"
The old lady's strength was negligible, and Zhou Songyan did not dodge.
"Grandma, it's no use hitting me anymore, I won't tell you."
Grandma Zhou was furious.
Isn't this just deliberately keeping her hanging on?
But she quickly came to a conclusion: "Okay, I won't ask her name. Just tell me, how far have you two gotten?"
"Everything that was going to happen has happened."
"!!!"
Grandma Zhou covered her mouth, almost screaming.
Good heavens, her great-grandson is coming!
Zhou Songyan: "Grandma, can you go back now?"
Grandma Zhou smiled and nodded: "I'm leaving, I'm leaving. You should hurry up and get married this year."
Zhou Songyan: "..."
Grandma Zhou happily ran back to the Zhou family home to tell everyone the good news.
Soon, Zhou Songyan received calls of greeting from her father Zhou Jingtian, her second uncle Zhou Jingwen, and her aunt Zhou Qianlian.
Zhou Jingtian: "Songyan, I heard I'm going to be a grandfather. Why don't you bring that girl home for a meal, arrange for both families to meet, and then discuss the marriage?"
Zhou Songyan: "..."
Second Uncle Zhou Jingwen: "Songyan, how come you got a baby without saying a word? Your grandma even arranged a blind date for you a few days ago. You've moved fast!"
Aunt Zhou Qianlian: "Xiaoyan, your grandma said you have a girlfriend. What does she do? What's her background? Who are her family members? Have you found out anything? Although it's not good to be pregnant before marriage, now that you're pregnant, we have to take it seriously."
Zhou Songyan was speechless.
How exactly did Grandma pass on the message?
Why did it become an unmarried pregnancy?
Grandma misses her great-grandson terribly.
Finally, Zhou Songyan explained each point one by one.
Zhou Jingtian and the others were speechless.
Everyone agreed that Grandma Zhou was desperately missing her great-grandson.
After all, the old lady had done the crazy thing of arranging eight blind dates for Zhou Songyan at the same time.
...
Li Mai was completely bewildered on her way to You Huan's house.
All she could think about was why Zhou Songyan kissed her.
But more than anything, I despise myself for having succumbed to such depravity.
Frustrated, she banged her head against the passenger seat.
Taxi driver: "???"
What's wrong with this girl?
Please don't try to kill yourself in his car.
Fortunately, after observing for a while, I found that the girl in the back seat did not intend to commit suicide.
We arrived at You Huan's house.
You Huan ordered fried chicken and hamburgers for Chengcheng. There were some left, and Li Mai ate a little, which finished their dinner.
You Huan asked, "Have you retrieved the car?"
"No."
"Not fixed?"
"Um."
"Then what are you going to do?"
You Huan and Chengcheng both looked at Li Mai.
Li Mai didn't know how to explain it to them.
Saying Zhou Songyan is crazy? Because she didn't add him as a friend, he was unhappy and specifically asked her to come over?
Li Mai chose to remain silent.
You Huan sensed something unusual.
Li Mai told her that on the day of the car accident, Zhou Songyan happened to pass by and helped them.
The car was also taken away for repairs by someone Zhou Songyan called.
You Huan didn't ask Chengcheng in front of him, but instead pulled her into the bedroom and pressed her for answers.
"Tell me, what did Zhou Songyan call you for?"
"Nothing."
"You look guilty even though you didn't do anything."
"I have nothing to hide."
"Little sister, I have sharp eyes, don't lie to me, tell the truth."
Li Mai: "..."
Rubbing her fingers together, Li Mai whispered, "Zhou Songyan... he kissed me."
"Depend on!!!"
He especially likes to swear.
"He harassed you? I'm going to find him!"
Li Mai: "..."
"Senior, what do you think Zhou Songyan means?"
You Huan stared at her for a while: "You haven't given up yet?"
Li Mai lowered her head in shame.
"Even though I keep telling myself that it's impossible for us to be together, it's really hard to give up."
"Senior, do you look down on me?"
You Huan put her arm around her shoulder, just like a caring older sister.
"Li Mai, my love life has also been a failure, so I can't offer you any good advice or comment."
"Do what you want. In this life, it's okay to stumble and fall a few times. Just get back up."
"But you should think carefully about Zhou Songyan's family background."
Li Mai: "Senior, you've gone off on a tangent. I've never thought about anything with Zhou Songyan, let alone marrying into the Zhou family. I know my place; I wouldn't dream of such a thing."
“I’ve been looking for him for the past five years, and I haven’t let go of my feelings for him. If he flirts with me even slightly, I might not be able to resist. I’m still hoping that he might still have feelings for me.”
Li Mai smiled bitterly, which made You Huan feel sorry for her.
Li Mai paused for a moment: "I will adjust myself and make sure that such a thing doesn't happen again."
She despised herself, and asking You Huan was just a way to ease her shame.
...
The next morning.
Li Mai received a message from Zhou Songyan.
I'm at the entrance of your apartment complex; I'll take you to your car.
Li Mai: "..."
That was awkward.
She doesn't live in that neighborhood.
"Mr. Zhou, please give me the car pickup address. I'll go there myself."
Zhou Songyan: [You have ten minutes.]
Li Mai: "..."
What should we do?
Her mind raced, and she came up with another excuse: "Chengcheng and I went out; we're not home."
Where are you? I'll come pick you up.
Li Mai gave the address of the small square near her home.
After sending the message, Li Mai pulled Chengcheng out the door.
Before Zhou Songyan arrived, they reached the intersection of the small square.
Zhou Songyan honked the horn, and the car stopped in front of them.
He got out of the car and opened the back door for them.
Li Mai was surprised to find that the Bentley had a child safety seat in the back.
Zhou Songyan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Li Mai.
Put Chengcheng in the child safety seat and fasten his seatbelt.
When Chengcheng saw his father again, he stared at him intently.
Dad doesn't seem to be as bad as he thought.
Help them with the accident when they are in a car accident.
He held the umbrella to protect his mother from getting wet, but his clothes got mostly soaked.
He felt safe being held in his strong arms.
Can he trust him just this once?
Zhou Songyan walked around to open the passenger door and looked at Li Mai: "Get in the car."
Li Mai didn't hesitate, got into the car and fastened her seatbelt.
The car drove smoothly on the road.
The carriage was too quiet.
If Zhou Songyan doesn't speak, Li Mai won't speak on her own initiative.
The lingering awkwardness of yesterday is still fresh in our minds.
After a while, Zhou Songyan asked, "Want to listen to a song?"
Li Mai was about to say no.
Chengcheng: "Uncle, I want to hear it."
What do you want to hear?
"Just play any song."
Zhou Songyan chose to play a children's song.
Chengcheng was in a good mood and hummed a few lines along.
Li Mai turned to look at him, seemingly lost in thought.
Chengcheng really likes his father, Zhou Songyan.
She knows her son very well.
