Zhou's mother's eyes lit up, and a smile visibly appeared on her well-maintained face.
"It's good to be an orphan! That way, your sister won't have to deal with complicated mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationships after marriage."
Zhou Wenbo was utterly dumbfounded: "Mom, you actually don't object? And you're even planning so far ahead? His conditions are nothing compared to ours!"
Zhou's mother said, puzzled, "I haven't even seen the person yet, why would I object?"
Zhou Wenbo was choked and his breath hitched: "..."
"By the way, you don't need to deliver the fruit. I'll go over myself tomorrow."
After finishing her sentence, Zhou's mother ignored her son's reaction, picked up her phone from the coffee table, and excitedly went upstairs.
Zhou Wenbo stared silently at his mother's retreating figure.
I understand that she went to talk to her father.
I wonder how the father will react when he hears that his beloved daughter has a boyfriend.
Zhou Wenbo ran his fingers through his hair in frustration, feeling that his sister's love life was developing in an unbelievable direction.
Could it be that Gu Weizhen will eventually become her brother-in-law?
But why does he feel so awkward?
Upstairs, a luxuriously decorated and spacious bedroom was lit up.
Zhou's father was also awake, lying on his side in bed scrolling through short videos.
Zhou's mother pushed open the door with a smile and said, "Old Zhou, I have something to tell you."
Zhou's father noticed his wife's happiness and casually asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhou's mother sat down on the sofa chair next to the dressing table and, without keeping her in suspense, said directly, "Our daughter is in love!"
Mr. Zhou, who had been all smiles, immediately changed his expression upon hearing this. "You're in love? What does your partner do? How come there wasn't a hint of anything before? Could you have been scammed?"
Zhou's mother rolled her eyes at him, "Your daughter is already over 20 years old, not two or three. She's not so easily fooled."
"Besides, her boyfriend used to work at the same company as Wenbo, and the private restaurant where her daughter works is run by him..."
Zhou's father exclaimed in utter shock, "What? She's dating the restaurant owner? What's this girl thinking?"
Seeing that her husband's first reaction was similar to her own, Zhou's mother felt relieved. She then recounted what she had heard from Zhou Wenbo about Zhou Wenyi's pursuit of love and Gu Wei's situation.
Mr. Zhou frowned upon hearing this. "No wonder she insisted on working there. It turns out she had ulterior motives."
Although his daughter had already graduated from university and dating was inevitable, as a father, Mr. Zhou still found it hard to accept.
Zhou's mother nodded with a hint of regret, "Yes. They made such nice promises back then, saying they were going to learn how to prepare for opening their own shop in the future, but..."
Mr. Zhou's expression darkened further. "Call her back tomorrow!"
Zhou's mother stared intently at him and asked, "What do you mean?"
Mr. Zhou said in a deep voice, "What else could it mean? I don't agree! Our daughter is so beautiful, why doesn't she find someone of equal social standing to marry a helpless orphan? People will laugh at us if they find out!"
"Old Zheng's daughter found a suitable match, and you know what happened... I think being an orphan is good. There's no one in the family anymore, so there will be fewer people interfering when she gets married. And when she has children, one of them can even take the mother's surname."
Seeing the change in her husband's expression, Zhou's mother asked firmly, "Do you think your daughter's happiness is more important, or your pride?"
Mr. Zhou immediately fell into deep thought...
Gu Wei had no idea that Zhou's parents had found out about their relationship so quickly.
However, during their chance encounter at the movie theater, he clearly saw Zhou Wenbo's reluctance.
But I don't care.
After all, dating is a matter between two people, but marriage is a matter between two families.
Moreover, whether he and Zhou Wenyi can reach that point in the future is uncertain, and only time will tell.
Although he was in a relationship, Gu Wei was not the type to become so engrossed in it that he forgot everything else.
The next day, he slept until he woke up naturally.
After packing everything up, I returned to the 1980s.
The apartment in the provincial capital was entrusted to Xu Kailin for renovation.
Gu Wei, having relinquished his responsibilities, had nothing to worry about.
He quickly went to his next stop—Antey.
The house I rented here is a single-story house with its own entrance and yard.
He came back before the Lunar New Year.
However, they haven't come even once since the Lunar New Year.
The room was cold and deserted, with a thin layer of dust on it.
Gu Wei didn't rush to tidy up; instead, he opened the front door and went to check the mailbox outside.
After unlocking the door, a letter was found lying quietly inside.
The sender was Gu Jianguo.
Gu Wei took it out with a somewhat complicated feeling.
I noticed that the postmark on it was from more than 10 days ago.
He calculated that the letter was mailed on the fifth day of the first lunar month.
Since I came here last year and made arrangements, renting a house under Gu Honghe's name, Gu Jianguo has sent me two letters.
Gu Wei also imitated the handwriting of the receipt Gu Honghe had written to him and replied with two simple letters.
Considering that they hadn't seen each other for many years and there were still trivial matters between the older generation, they were somewhat distant and polite in their attitude.
After returning to his room, Gu Wei tore open the envelope, took out the neatly folded manuscript paper, and quickly scanned it.
In his letter, Gu Jianguo talked about Gu Wei the most, besides casual conversations.
Besides praising him, she also mentioned that there was no rush to find a partner, suggesting that Gu Honghe and his parents should also pay more attention and see if there were any suitable girls in their hometown.
Gu Wei was left both amused and exasperated.
