Zhou's mother sat up. "You slept too much during the day and now you can't sleep at night. Why are you back so late again?"
Zhou Wenbo walked over in his slippers and sat down on the leather sofa. "I was having dinner with some friends."
Zhou's mother didn't care much about her son's affairs. After listening to his explanation, she didn't press him for details.
I was thinking about my daughter, who hadn't come home for several days.
"I wonder if your sister has finished the imported fruit I sent her last time. When do you have time to send her some more?"
"Okay, I'll go tomorrow."
Zhou Wenbo licked his slightly dry lips, looked at his well-maintained mother, and hesitated to speak.
Zhou's mother noticed and put the remote control aside. "What's wrong?"
"I……"
Zhou Wenbo was extremely conflicted.
On the one hand, he felt that Gu Wei and his sister were not a good match and that it would be better to break it off sooner rather than later, so that his sister would not be the one to get hurt in the end.
On the one hand, she was afraid that if she told her parents, they would disagree and she would try to break them up, and her sister would hate her.
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you want to say'? Speak up! Have you gotten into trouble outside?" The more Zhou's mother guessed, the more frightened she became, and her face turned serious. "I've told you before, don't act so arrogantly just because we're rich. Did you get involved with some girl and cause someone's death?"
Zhou Wenbo hadn't expected his mother to think of him this way, and immediately stopped holding back, "It wasn't me! It's my sister, she's in a relationship!"
Zhou's mother immediately beamed with joy. "You're dating? This girl really kept it a secret! I noticed something was off about her a long time ago! Otherwise, how could she have moved out and gone to work as usual? It's like the sun rising in the west! What does her boyfriend do? Tell me right now!"
Zhou Wenbo couldn't help but rub his forehead; his mother's reaction was completely different from what he had imagined.
"Her boyfriend is the restaurant owner, who is also my former colleague. We used to work at the same company, but the company went out of business after the New Year, so we had to find our own jobs."
I never expected to run into him when I accompanied my sister to buy a car. Then this little girl took a liking to him and insisted on working at his restaurant as soon as she heard that he owned one.
He confessed his feelings to her afterward, but she didn't agree. Still unwilling to give up, he insisted on hanging himself on that crooked tree.
Who would have thought I'd run into them at the movies today, and they told me they started dating yesterday…
After listening to Zhou Wenbo's rambling explanation...
Zhou's mother's expression was no longer as cheerful as before.
She and her husband had also eaten at the restaurant where their daughter worked.
It's quite a large establishment, the food is delicious, and the business is booming.
However, the daughter started dating the restaurant owner.
This was something she really hadn't expected.
"What's that young man's family background? Is he a local? What do his parents do for a living? Are they good people?"
Zhou Wenbo frankly stated, "He is an orphan, with no family left, and relies entirely on himself. His character is alright, though."
