Chapter 133 Mao, sitting inside
Bo Wei's courtyard was packed with onlookers.
The people whispered among themselves as they looked at the gifts piled up on the eaves.
"We were just talking about going to the hospital for a checkup, and now you're here so soon? Could it be that you're really pregnant?" The woman whispering this was one of the three women who had been staring at Bo Wei when she returned—a short-haired woman.
The woman in white glanced at Li He several times, then leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Wait, something's not right. The man I saw at the hospital wasn't this one."
Short-haired woman: "...Why isn't it one person? Didn't you say he was tall and handsome? This one is both tall and handsome."
"No, that one isn't as good-looking as this one, and it doesn't look as fierce either."
"This isn't fierce at all, it's imposing. Look at all that stuff, it must have cost a fortune, they really spared no expense, tsk tsk."
"Didn't you hear that he has fifty houses? This amount of property is nothing to him."
"My god, is this bragging or is it true? He's so rich? What exactly does Weiwei do outside? How did she get to know such a wealthy person?"
"Who knows?"
Zhao Shulan was overjoyed to see so many gifts.
Hearing so many people praising him in the courtyard made him feel even more proud.
All the resentment I felt towards my daughter earlier dissipated, and I only felt that my daughter was well raised and had brought honor to our family since she was a child.
"Come in, Mao, have a seat." Zhao Shulan's tone was particularly warm, as if she were calling her own son-in-law. "Dinner is almost ready, let's eat first and then talk about other things."
Li He nodded and led Bo Wei into the house.
The two went inside, followed by Bo Wei's uncle and others.
The marriage proposal is a good thing; all the relatives of this family are here, so coming today was definitely the right decision.
All the relatives went inside, except for Aunt Bo Wei, who looked awkwardly at Ms. Zhuangzhuang's mother.
"This... Oh dear, what bad luck! She just said she didn't have a boyfriend, and I thought she really didn't."
Ms. Zhuangzhuang's mother looked very upset, but she didn't know what she was blaming.
Even more pale than her was her son.
Zhou Kai's heart had just begun to blossom with love, but it was crushed in the mud by someone's foot.
He considers himself very picky, unlike other people his age who can just find any partner to marry.
He finally met someone even more wonderful than his dream girl, only to find that she already had a partner. He felt so regretful that he was almost unable to accept it.
"Alright, we just came here to have some fun anyway. You guys are busy, we'll head back now." 'Zhuangzhuang's mom' barely managed to maintain a friendly facade.
Zhou Kai: "...The car is stuck in traffic and can't get out."
Ms. Zhuangzhuang's Mom: ...
Her aunt hurriedly pulled her into the house with a warm smile, "Oh dear, you're already here. Dinner is about to start, why are you leaving?"
He then turned to Zhang Kai behind him and called out, "Mao, come in and sit down."
Ms. Zhuangzhuang's mother was a little speechless. She opened her mouth, hesitated, and said, "Why don't you go and ask the young man inside to come out and move the car?"
The aunt's smile froze. "That young man?"
She was a little reluctant to talk about it, she didn't know why, but she just felt that although the person was young, he had a very strong presence.
"Oh, no rush." He said, pulling the person inside.
The bodyguards saw off the trucks carrying firecrackers and gifts, but they didn't leave; they waited in the yard.
The hosts went inside, but some neighbors remained in the yard to watch the commotion.
Normally, the host would definitely bring out chairs for everyone to sit on, but on a special day like today, they don't have time to offer that.
"cigarette."
The bodyguard stood expressionless in the courtyard when suddenly a cigarette was offered to him.
Bo Wei's uncle looked up at him, and seeing that he hadn't taken it, he raised his hand and offered it to him again, "Have a smoke, little brother."
The bodyguard took it, took out a lighter from his pocket, lit it, and took a puff.
"Did you come with Weiwei's boyfriend? I thought you were a shop owner who came along to unload the truck."
The bodyguard curled his lips slightly, continued smoking, and after exhaling the smoke, slowly said, "I work for him; he's the boss."
Bo Wei's uncle asked in surprise, "You're the secretary from the TV show?"
The bodyguard chuckled softly and said slowly, "I am the bodyguard they talk about on TV."
Bo Wei's uncle stared in surprise, "Hey, a bodyguard?"
As he spoke, he sized up the bodyguard. He was tall, muscular, and kept his emotions hidden. He certainly looked impressive.
What kind of boss needs a bodyguard?
"What exactly does your boss do?"
"Start a big company."
Bo Wei's uncle exclaimed in admiration, "He really is a big boss! He runs a big company, probably making tens of millions a year."
The bodyguard smiled without saying a word.
"Come on, let's go inside and eat. They've all gone inside."
The bodyguard shook his head. "You guys eat, I've already eaten."
"Oh dear, when did you eat? It's time for dinner. Come in, everyone is a guest. Whether he's the boss or your bodyguard, everyone is a guest. Come in and sit down."
As she spoke, she pushed his arm inward, but found that he did not move at all.
The bodyguard simply looked down at him indifferently, and Bo Wei's uncle awkwardly withdrew his hand. "Ahem, as expected of a bodyguard, he's got some skills, his stance is definitely solid."
Inside the house, everyone was busy setting up tables and benches.
Li He led Bo Wei aside, letting them do their thing.
"Why did you come here?" Bo Wei asked knowingly, her words revealing her speechlessness.
Li He looked at her intently. "What do you think, Miss Sanwan? She's pregnant. I won't feel at ease unless I keep an eye on her myself."
Bo Wei: "...You're the one who's pregnant."
Li He: ...
Bo Wei's father is not yet fifty-five years old. Rural men of this age are usually still working outside.
So the eldest uncle took the initiative to save face, gesturing for Li He to sit down, "Sit down, come on, sit down first, don't stand."
Li He didn't stand on ceremony and took his seat directly, as if he were attending a meeting at the company.
His uncle was a little taken aback by his decisiveness.
She then gestured to Ms. Zhuangzhuang's mother and her son, who had been standing awkwardly, "Please sit down, make yourselves at home, it's not that formal."
Ms. Zhuangzhuang's mother was really restless, uncomfortable, and suffering terribly.
Although it's a pity that my good deed didn't go through today, I don't want to just stand here and watch others do good deeds.
"Excuse me, young man, could you move your car and let us out? We're just outsiders, and you have important matters to discuss right now, so we'd better not disturb you."
Hearing this, her uncle quickly stopped her, saying, "How can you not eat..."
"Zhou Hao." Just as his uncle was speaking, Li He called out to the outside.
His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it had a strong penetrating power.
The uncle stopped before he could finish his words of persuasion.
Outside, the bodyguard hurriedly threw his half-smoked cigarette on the ground, casually crushed it, and strode into the house.
Before Bo Wei's uncle could even exhale a puff of smoke, the bodyguard had already extinguished his cigarette and entered the house. He shook his head and sighed, "As expected of a bodyguard, his reaction speed is really fast. This job is still not easy."
Inside the room, everyone fell silent as they watched Zhou Hao enter.
Who is this person?
"Mr. Li, did you call me?" Zhou Hao walked to Li He's side, his attitude very respectful.
"Move the car, it's blocking people. The keys are in the car."
"yes."
Zhou Hao went out, and everyone remained silent.
What is the relationship between these two?
Ms. Zhuangzhuang's mother was very embarrassed.
It's her business if she wants to leave.
Other hosts all tried to persuade her to stay, but even they knew she would eventually leave.
But that's a completely different matter from being forced to leave.
My uncle was also quite embarrassed, this...
Oh well, never mind.
I hurried to the door to see him off.
My aunt came out carrying dishes and, seeing us leaving, called out, "Hey, why are you leaving? Dinner's almost ready!"
Ms. Zhuangzhuang's Mom: ...
The uncle quietly pulled his wife, who had just put down the vegetables and was about to come over, and said, "Don't shout so loudly. People want to leave; they don't feel comfortable here."
His aunt glared at him unhappily, "What kind of talk is that? The food was all laid out, why didn't you keep them here!"
Uncle: ...
Did he not leave any?
