"Don't say that. I know what Zou Li's situation is like. I'm glad this child hasn't caused you any trouble!" Old Zou said gently to the somewhat embarrassed Zhao Jianguo and Yan Fugui and his wife, "We're all family from now on. No need to be so polite."
Family! Everyone in the room was stunned. Did Mr. Zou agree? Was this easygoing Mr. Zou still the same egocentric political figure?
"No, no, it's my girl who is ignorant. It's our fault that we are causing you trouble."
"So are we here to talk about business? Or?" Compared to the mutual praise, Mr. Zou's intention was very obvious.
"What are we talking about?" Yuan Zhicheng was a little annoyed. He had just seen the person, and he was about to be taken away by Old Man Zou. Was he dissatisfied with the Yuan family's small space or something? "Let's sit down and eat first. We have to eat a full meal before discussing things. Old Man Zou, why are you more anxious than your son?"
"Old man!" Yuan Jingyi reminded her old man to be more careful. He was a guest after all, so how should he speak to him?
"Let's go to the kitchen to help, you guys continue." Zhao Hanyun pulled Zou Li and ran to the kitchen as if they were escaping. This place was not suitable for them to stay.
"You're shy." Zou Li followed Zhao Hanyun and said with a smile, "What are you afraid of? At worst, I can elope with you."
"Miss, Master Li's idea is quite good." Yuan Yuan appeared behind them at some point, looking at Zou Li with approval and saying, "You are too young now. If you get engaged, people will think it's a political marriage. Eloping is a different matter!"
Zhao Hanyun: “…”
Because of the host's strong request, the two families finished their lunch in a very awkward atmosphere, and then sat on the sofa in the living room drinking tea brewed by Zhao Hanyun. For a while, the only sound in the whole house was the snoring of the stupid tiger Ba Wang, who was the only sound of drinking tea.
"Well, I'm the person involved, so please listen to me, elders." Zhao Hanyun couldn't stand the quiet atmosphere. "I've discussed it with Zou Li, and we want to get engaged first. What do you think?"
When Yan Jinlan saw her daughter stand up and speak, her face turned red with embarrassment. What a shameless girl!
"Very good!" General Zou took a sip of the tea in his hand. "As long as you two think it's good, I have no objection. I just don't know what my in-laws think."
"We have no objection." Zhao Jianguo shook his head. What's the point of objecting? Besides, Xiao Li is a good kid, young and promising. Who would be afraid that others would dislike her?
"That's it!" Yuan Zhicheng clapped his hands. "I've been so embarrassed that I dare not say anything until now. Why don't you guys speak up sooner?"
Everyone looked at Yuan Zhicheng with excitement and wanted to say it for a long time, but it was obviously you who didn't allow people to say it!
"Okay, come, let's go play a game." Yan Fugui directly pulled Yuan Zhicheng aside and told him not to make trouble here.
"Zou Li, what do you have to say?" Yan Jinlan, who always felt that Zou Li was a little aggrieved, looked at the silent Zou Li and asked, "Just say whatever you want to say. Don't be afraid!"
Zhao Hanyun instantly felt that she was wronged, even more wronged than Dou E in the story of snow in June. What could she do to Zou Li? Mother, you actually told Zou Li not to be afraid!
"I'd like to ask my father and the elders present to bear witness for me." Zou Li slowly walked up to Zhao Hanyun and half-knelt before him, his body half a head taller than Zhao Hanyun. "I, Zou Li, hereby assure you all that no matter before or after, Zhao Hanyun will always be the one I, Zou Li, will protect and guard, for eternity."
"Xiao Li is really..." Yan Jinlan, somewhat moved, pinched Zhao Jianguo hard with her hand. "My son-in-law is awesome. Learn from him!" She turned to look at Zhao Hanyun and said, "What are you doing? Hurry up and wake Xiao Li up."
Mom! Before Zhao Hanyun could even sigh that he had finally been confessed to, his mom brought him back to reality. He quickly reached out to pull Zou Li: "Get up first!"
"Wait a minute." Zou Li turned and looked at his father again: "Dad, my subordinates have some property, and I will transfer it to the girl when the time comes." Anyway, the Zou family has a lot of his private property, and he told his father about it so that he can shut up the others later.
"You can decide what to do with your things." A complicated look flashed in Zou Li's eyes. He looked at Zou Li and said, "What's at home is yours. Don't worry about anything. I'm still here!"
"Thank you, Dad!"
"Alright, get up!" Zhao Hanyun pulled Zou Li's hand, which was still on his arm. After trying once but failing to get him up, she decided to try again: "If you don't get up, I'm not going to marry you!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Okay, I'll marry you."
Zou Li held Zhao Hanyun's hand, and then a ring appeared on Zou Li's other hand. He lightly put it on Zhao Hanyun's middle finger: "It doesn't matter who you marry. After all, so many elders have seen you accept my proposal. You can't deny it even if you want to."
"Hate!"
“Ahem!”
"Haha, you made a fool of yourself in front of your uncle!"
"No, call me dad!" Zou Li brought Zhao Hanyun to Zou Lao and said, "Dad, thank you for your help."
"dad!"
"good!"
"Mom and Dad! Thank you!"
"well!"
"And me, Old Man Zou, your son will have to call me Grandmaster from now on!" Yuan Zhicheng came back from losing a game of chess and heard Zou Li calling for help. He immediately rushed over and said, "Hurry up!"
"The scenery over there seems nice, let's go there and take a look!"
"Wait for me, together!"
The living room was left to Zhao Hanyun and Zou Li, and, oh, the Overlord who was still asleep. As the divine weapon snored, Zhao Hanyun put a hand on Zou Li's waist and said, "You're so smooth-talking. Did you learn that from Bai Xue?"
"Be gentle!" Zou Li said with a smile, "Aren't you afraid of hurting your hands? Also, be careful, Mom will come looking for you later!"
Men really cannot be spoiled. Zou Li openly took advantage of the situation and took red envelopes from Zhao Hanyun and several other parents to a house in the suburbs. Zhao Hanyun had reserved a house for each of them, so they were not worried about having no place to live. Yuan Zhicheng, who had been staying at Yuan's house, also came with his family, under the pretext of visiting his grandson.
"Then, dear in-laws, I'll trouble you with the engagement." Zhao Jianguo was absolutely willing to leave this to Old Zou. The Zou family had given the Zhao family too much face. Even if Zou Li wanted to marry into the family, he had not heard any objection. Zhao Jianguo felt a little embarrassed. After discussing with Old Zou, they decided that everything would be done according to the man's side. It would be the same whether he married into the family or not. Zou Li did not rely on the Zou family and did not need any pressure in this regard. Then, Zhao Hanyun and Zou Li, the two parties involved, were forgotten. The parents were busy preparing for the wedding and had no time to take care of them.
