Chapter 695: Drinking
Noticing Zhong Mingxin's hesitation, Baili Leyao spoke up, "Wait until tonight, I'll talk to Dad and I'll go back with you."
After so many years and the child is so grown up, she has never met Zhong Mingxin's parents. This is unconscionable.
"No." Zhong Mingxin shook his head. "How could you bring up something like this? I'm a man. I should be the one to bring up something like this."
Baili Leyao smiled and shook her head. "It's better if I bring this up. If you rashly bring it up like this, you'll probably be kicked out before you even get comfortable in your seat."
"I--" Zhong Mingxin wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhong Nian Yao.
"You don't need to argue here." Zhong Nianyao said directly, "Let me talk about this matter."
Seeing that Zhong Mingxin and Baili Leyao were about to say something, she immediately raised her hand to stop them and continued, "This matter has been decided. You don't need to say anything more. Also, I have something to discuss with Grandpa tonight."
Seeing Zhong Nianyao's tough attitude, Zhong Mingxin and Baili Leyao had no choice but to let her go.
At night, at the dinner table——
Only Zhong Nianyao's family of four, Baili Hengyuan and his three sons, who were Baili Leyao's three older brothers, were present.
The three daughters-in-law also wanted to participate, but Baili Hengyuan directly stopped them.
Baili Hengyuan was the head of the Baili family and the one who had the final say within the clan. Naturally, they dared not disobey him. Even their children didn't attend. Among the younger generation, only Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao were present.
However, others did not know that Baili Hengyuan was very clear about the strength of these two people.
Even though he had given in now, Baili Hengyuan still felt uncomfortable facing Zhong Mingxin, who wanted to kidnap his daughter.
As for the three brothers Baili Zhenhua, they were also dazed when they saw Zhong Mingxin. Their sister, whom they had doted on for so many years, had been in a coma for so many years, and now, as soon as she woke up, she would immediately become someone else's family. How could they feel comfortable?
Therefore, the three brothers Baili Zhenhua kept toasting Zhong Mingxin.
Baili Hengyuan watched, but acted as if he saw nothing. Perhaps, in his heart, he also wanted to get Zhong Mingxin drunk, but he couldn't do anything because of his elder status.
Baili Leyao watched, heartbroken. However, with her father and brother, who had doted on her for years, and her lover, whom she had reunited with after a long separation, on one side, it would be inappropriate to help either. So, she could only watch helplessly.
If there is anyone who is eating sincerely at this table, it must be Zhong Nian Yao.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with toasting.
The cabbages that people have carefully cared for for many years have now been eaten by pigs. As owners, it is normal for them to vent their resentment.
As for Lu Yichen, all his attention was on Zhong Nianyao. From time to time, he would pick up some food for her or pick out some fish bones. His service was very thoughtful. Moreover, he was completely willing to do this, without any reluctance, and he was even a little happy to be able to take care of Zhong Nianyao.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhong Nianyao glanced at Zhong Mingxin, who had already drunk quite a bit and was about to pass out. She put down her bowl and chopsticks, looked at Baili Hengyuan, and said, "Grandpa, I have something to tell you."
Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhong Nian Yao, as if they were curious about what she was going to say at this moment.
After looking around, Zhong Nianyao said, "Grandpa, I've been away for quite some time. I plan to go back soon."
"Why are you in such a hurry?" The eldest brother, Baili Zhenhua, spoke first. "Nian Yao, please stay a few more days! I'll show you around!"
"Yeah!" The second oldest, Baili Zhenye, also spoke up to try and persuade him to stay. "You've finally come here, why are you leaving so soon?"
Although the third brother Baili Zhenxing didn't say anything, it could be seen from the expression on his face that he had the same idea as his two brothers.
"No." Zhong Nianyao shook her head. "It will take too long to be out. Grandpa and grandma will be worried. Besides, grandpa and grandma also know that my father is still alive. They can't wait to see their son."
This afternoon, she had already called to tell her grandparents about finding Zhong Mingxin. As she expected, the two elderly people burst into tears of joy when they heard that their son was still alive.
Although they missed their son very much, they did not ask Zhong Nianyao to take Zhong Mingxin back immediately. Instead, they asked Zhong Nianyao to instruct Zhong Mingxin to get along well with Baili Leyao. They had no objection even if they stayed for a while. Now that they knew their son was still alive, they were already very grateful to God.
She could tell that his grandparents missed their son very much, but rather than wanting their son to come back immediately, they wanted him to live a happy life in the future.
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, Baili Hengyuan and his three sons fell silent.
Suddenly, Baili Zhenye spoke, "Nian Yao, you and Zhong Mingxin are going back, what about Le Yao?"
Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on Baili Leyao.
When Baili Hengyuan and his two sons looked at Zhong Mingxin again, their eyes were filled with disgust.
Although they had already let go of the matter between Zhong Mingxin and Baili Leyao, they still felt uncomfortable when they thought about Baili Leyao leaving.
Naturally, they couldn't have a good attitude towards the culprit who made them uncomfortable.
Zhong Mingxin was a bit overwhelmed by the sharp looks from his future father-in-law and three brothers-in-law. But when he thought about his wife and children going home with him, he felt stronger and fearless.
After glancing around, Zhong Nianyao looked at Baili Hengyuan and spoke directly without beating around the bush, "The reason I brought this up here today is because I hope my mother can go back with us this time."
"I disagree," Baili Zhenxing said directly. "Although Le Yao has woken up now, she was in a coma for such a long time and is still very weak. So, I hope she can stay here, at least until she is fully recovered."
