Chapter 89 I had no idea he was so popular
Zhou Jingtian smiled and said, "Oh, okay."
After being warned by his elderly mother, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Grandma Zhou beckoned: "Granddaughter-in-law, come here to me."
Li Mai was still not quite used to hearing the words "granddaughter-in-law". She pursed her lips, got up, and sat down next to Grandma Zhou.
Grandma Zhou said to everyone, "You all go about your business. I want to have a chat with Mai Mai."
Zhou Jingtian took Chengcheng's hand and said, "Come on, let's go out and play with Grandpa."
Chengcheng nodded obediently.
Zhang Jingran pulled Zhang Junzheng: "Come on, let's go to the room and play games."
They all have their own rooms in the old house.
Zhang Boxiong also went out.
Zhou Qianlian glanced at Zhou Songyan who had left, then sat there without moving.
Grandma Zhou said with a smile, "Granddaughter-in-law, I'll back you up in Beijing from now on. If anyone bullies you, just tell me and I'll stand up for you."
Li Mai said gratefully, "Thank you, Grandma!"
She didn't need the old lady to stand up for her, but the old lady's words touched her deeply.
Grandma Zhou is such a kind person.
Grandma Zhou patted her hand: "Grandma liked you the moment she saw you. I never expected you would give me a great-grandson. What a coincidence!"
She was happy but also sad. Li Mai must have suffered a lot raising her child alone all these years. She didn't know how she had managed to get through it.
Zhou Qianlian interjected, "Mom, Songyan is such a good catch, so many girls are eager to have his children. Don't be too touched."
Grandma Zhou looked over coldly: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Did I say something wrong? Girls who want to marry Song Yan are lined up from Beijing all the way to Paris."
"Bullshit! Why don't you say the team circled the earth? I had no idea he was so popular."
With a soft "pfft".
Li Mai couldn't help but laugh.
Grandma Zhou is so adorable!
Zhou Qianlian pursed her lips: "Mom, I'm not exaggerating. There are plenty of girls who want to marry Songyan."
"Ha, do you think your nephew is gold, that everyone wants him?"
"It's about the same as gold."
"Shut up, if you have nothing to do, go help out in the kitchen."
Zhou Qianlian glanced at Li Mai unhappily, then got up and left.
Grandma Zhou looked at Li Mai apologetically: "Granddaughter-in-law, don't take it to heart. Songyan's aunt doesn't know how to speak properly."
"It's okay, Grandma."
Li Mai could tell that her aunt Zhou Songyan didn't like her, but she didn't care, and she had no intention of marrying Zhou Songyan anyway.
The atmosphere at dinner was fairly harmonious.
Zhou Qianlian didn't dare to cause trouble for Li Mai in front of Zhou Songyan.
After dinner, everyone sat in the living room drinking tea and chatting.
It was mostly the Zhou family members talking, and the conversation mostly revolved around Chengcheng.
Zhou Jingtian and his grandmother both adored Chengcheng and wished they could hold him in their arms forever.
Even Zhou Qianlian liked this child.
She didn't like Li Mai, but she felt that Li Mai had taught Chengcheng very well, and that he didn't have any of those messy habits.
He seems more mature than her son.
Li Mai was sitting on a single sofa, but Zhou Songyan insisted on squeezing in next to her and even tried to hold her hand.
Li Mai glared at him several times, but it had no effect.
Zhou Songyan shamelessly looked at her with a sly smile.
With so many people around, Li Mai couldn't speak harshly to him.
Then Zhou Songyan touched her hand, put his arm around her waist, and rested his head on her shoulder.
The Zhou family was stunned.
Zhang Jingran shouted "Ah ah ah" a few times.
Grandma Zhou was startled and patted her chest, scolding, "What are you howling about? You scared me to death!"
Zhang Jingran shouted "Ah ah ah" a few more times.
"My cousin and his wife are so sweet! I can't stand it!"
Everyone: "..."
Li Mai blushed and pushed Zhou Songyan away.
Zhou Songyan leaned back on the sofa, a smile playing on his lips, his face beaming with pleasure.
Zhou Jingtian was extremely surprised.
I never expected his son to be like this when he's in a relationship.
Zhou Qianlian turned her face away, not wanting to look.
This is no longer the domineering and cold-hearted nephew she knew!
Sure enough, even the most capable man can fall for a woman.
Zhang Jingran mustered her courage and asked, "Cousin, who pursued whom when you two were dating?"
Li Mai coughed but did not answer.
She had a good impression of Zhang Jingran just now, but she didn't want to talk to her now.
This girl is too gossipy.
Is it appropriate for her and Zhou Songyan to discuss this kind of topic given their current relationship?
Has everyone forgotten that they've already broken up?
They didn't make up!
They didn't make up!
Zhang Jingran seemed oblivious to Li Mai's embarrassment; she was completely obsessed with shipping the two.
Her eyes lit up as she asked, "Was it my cousin who pursued you? Right? Right?"
Li Mai still did not answer.
Zhou Songyan let out a low laugh.
Li Mai turned her head and glared at him, warning him with her eyes not to talk nonsense.
Zhou Songyan reached out and pinched her cheek twice: "Yes, I was the one who pursued her."
Li Mai: "..."
Zhang Jingran shouted "Ah ah ah" a few more times.
"I can't take it anymore, it's so swoon-worthy!"
Grandma Zhou couldn't stand the child any longer and looked at Zhou Qianlian: "Take her away quickly and go back to find a doctor to examine her."
Zhou Qianlian and Zhang Junzheng helped Zhang Jingran away.
Zhang Jingran broke free from them, threw herself at Li Mai, and struggled to pull out her phone: "Sister-in-law, let's add each other on WeChat!"
Li Mai felt that if she didn't add her, this girl would be clinging to her and wouldn't get up today. So she took out her phone and scanned her.
Seeing this, Zhang Junzheng also took out his phone: "Sister-in-law, add me too."
Li Mai swept him away again.
Zhou Qianlian turned back, grabbed Zhang Jingran, and dragged her away, muttering under her breath, "You brat, you're not allowed to watch those mindless, ridiculous dramas anymore! They'll ruin your brain!"
The house fell silent, and Li Mai let out a sigh of relief.
She was finding it hard to handle Zhang Jingran.
Grandma Zhou: "Finally, I can have some peace and quiet!"
Zhou Jingtian shook his head helplessly.
Grandma Zhou looked at Li Mai and said, "Granddaughter-in-law, stay here tonight. Don't go back. The room is all ready."
Li Mai: "No, Grandma, Chengcheng has to go to school tomorrow, and I have to go to work too."
Grandma Zhou did not insist that she stay.
"Alright, let Songyan drive you back."
Li Mai glanced at Zhou Songyan and did not refuse.
...
In the courtyard, Zhou Jingtian held Chengcheng's hand reluctantly and said, "Chengcheng, Grandpa will pick you up tomorrow."
Chengcheng nodded obediently.
Grandma Zhou was unhappy: "You have to go to work, I'll pick you up."
Zhou Jingtian: "I'll leave work early and go with you."
Li Mai was happy to see that the Zhou family liked Chengcheng.
She just wanted her son to receive more love from others.
Zhou Songyan carried Chengcheng into the car, and Li Mai also sat in the passenger seat.
As the car drove away, Li Mai could still see Old Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Jingtian standing in the yard, their eyes following them.
Zhou Songyan took the mother and son to Heyun Community.
Li Mai opened the car door and got out, then led Chengcheng into the building.
Zhou Songyan followed.
Li Mai stopped, turned around and looked at him: "President Zhou, you should go back."
The word "President Zhou" made President Zhou's eyes darken for a moment. He took two steps forward, picked up Chengcheng, and said, "I'll play with my son a little longer."
Before Li Mai could speak, Zhou Songyan had already entered the elevator.
Li Mai reluctantly followed him inside.
Chengcheng was being held by his father, and he was a little shy; his little face turned red.
It feels so good to be held by my dad.
