Chapter 464 Leaving My Daughter
After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Zhou Zhenxing was summoned to the study by Zhuo Dongsheng.
Zhuo Lanyu wanted to go in almost immediately, but her mother stopped her.
"Your dad wants to talk to him alone. What are you doing going in?"
Zhuo Lanyu's face was extremely ugly. "Mom, you've already embarrassed Brother Zhou today. Is Dad trying to break us up?"
Looking at her daughter's anxious state, Li Sanglan said helplessly, "If he can't even handle this little bit of embarrassment, he doesn't deserve to be the Zhuo family's son-in-law. Besides, if your father really wanted to break you up, he wouldn't have let him come over tonight."
Zhuo Lanyu looked at her with a wronged expression, still harboring resentment over her father and uncle's attitude towards Zhou Zhenxing before the meal.
Li Sanglan grabbed her hand and lowered her voice, saying, "If your father didn't test his sincerity towards you, how could he possibly entrust you to him with peace of mind?"
Hearing this, Zhuo Lanyu's unease finally subsided somewhat. "So my dad did it on purpose?"
Li Sanglan spoke frankly: "Actually, it wasn't intentional. Your father really looked down on him. But not because of his status or family, but because he was divorced."
As the only daughter of the Zhuo family, she has an excellent family background and is also very outstanding with a bright future. However, she ended up choosing a divorced man, which is indeed hard for her parents to accept.
What they were even more worried about was whether Zhou Zhenxing was pursuing their daughter out of love or for some other external reason.
"Mom, you promised you wouldn't bring this up again." Zhuo Lanyu was also bothered, but it was true that she liked Zhou Zhenxing.
Looking at her innocent daughter, Li Sanglan said helplessly, "If you go inside, your dad will really get angry. Come with me to the living room."
Zhuo Lanyu remained standing in the same spot, anxiously staring at the closed door of the study.
However, Li Sanglan's next words forced her to leave.
"Do you not trust yourself, or do you not trust Zhou Zhenxing's feelings for you?"
Yes, if Zhou Zhenxing is determined to marry no one but her in this lifetime, then she really doesn't need to worry about anything.
But if not...
At this moment, Zhuo Lanyu no longer dared to look her mother in the eye.
"You are not good enough for Lan Yu."
In the study, Zhuo Dongsheng's first words were one of denial and disdain for Zhou Zhenxing.
Zhou Zhenxing was tense all over, but his back was straighter than ever before.
Zhuo Dongsheng's second sentence was a tempting offer: "If you are willing to leave Lanyu now, I can help you get promoted to battalion commander within three years."
Zhuo Dongsheng's sharp gaze was fixed on Zhou Zhenxing's face, not missing a single subtle reaction.
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Zhenxing gave a direct answer, "I know you look down on me, but my feelings for Lan Yu are genuine, and we will not break up."
Zhuo Dongsheng snorted coldly, "Sincerity is the cheapest thing in the world. I bet you were sincere when you married your first wife, weren't you?"
Zhou Zhenxing's originally resolute face instantly showed a change in emotion.
He clearly hadn't expected Zhuo Dongsheng to bring this up, and it was impossible for him to be completely innocent.
"I'm already divorced."
He emphasized it almost word by word.
Zhuo Dongsheng's voice sharpened, "If you weren't divorced, you wouldn't even have the right to stand in front of me."
