639: She is your daughter-in-law
Yu Xiaoye immediately returned to his room in the guesthouse, ran over happily and opened the door. When he was about to pounce on Zhou Ziheng, he was shocked to see that Zhou Ziheng was not alone.
There were two people standing next to him.
One is my elder sister Zhou Ziying.
The other was an old lady with gray hair and a kind face.
It turned out to be Zhou Ziheng’s mother!
Yu Xiaoye was dumbfounded.
Didn’t they say that only her sister would come to pick her up? Why did Mother Zhou come too?
Yu Xiaoye's mind was blank and he stood there frozen, forgetting to take the initiative to say hello.
Zhou Ziheng actually didn't expect that his mother would come with him. He originally just called his sister to pick him up, but when he arrived, he found that his mother had also come with him.
But there was no way, his mother had already arrived, so Zhou Ziheng had to bring them up.
Seeing Yu Xiaoye's stunned look, Zhou Ziheng felt a little apologetic, funny, and a little excited, with complicated feelings.
Zhuang Huaijian stood beside his son and saw such a cheerful and pretty girl appear when the door opened. He was surprised to find that the girl was younger than she looked in the newspaper. She had clear eyes and an innocent face, just like a middle school student!
Although in the mother's heart, no matter how old her son is, he is just a child.
But when he saw the girl's appearance, Zhuang Huaijian still felt that his son was "an old cow eating young grass"!
Son, aren’t you really deceiving an innocent girl?
Zhou Ziying took in the reactions of her mother and Yu Xiaoye, and she knew that this would be the scene when the two met.
Zhou Ziying introduced with a smile:
"Mom, this is Yu Xiaoye—Xiaoye, this is my mom."
Yu Xiaoye then greeted him blankly:
"Hello, Auntie—"
Zhuang Huaijian put away his thoughts and smiled gently:
"You are Ono, you are even prettier than in the photo."
This one sentence made Yu Xiaoye's nervous mood relax a little. Yu Xiaoye smiled awkwardly as a response, and then raised his eyes to look at Zhou Ziheng with a hint of anger and coquettishness in his eyes.
Zhou Ziheng smiled and said:
"Have you packed your things?"
"Um."
"Let's go home with my mom first?"
"oh."
Yu Xiaoye obediently turned around and went back to the house, picking up a luggage bag on the bed.
Zhuang Huaijian felt the demeanor and tone of his son's voice when he spoke to the girl. Although the two of them did nothing, Zhuang Huaijian inexplicably felt sweet in his heart, as if he had eaten candied dates.
The old mother couldn't help but smile.
Yu Xiaoye carried his luggage and walked out of the room.
Zhou Ziheng explained everything to Liang Qin again.
Liang Qin knew that Zhou Ziheng was going to take Yu Xiaoye home, and she couldn't help but feel some adult worries. She privately told Zhou Ziheng:
"Take her home and don't do anything rash. Xiao Ye's career has just started and there is still room for growth. Don't ruin her future."
Zhou Ziheng knew what Liang Qin was talking about, and said in a deliberately dandy tone:
"Are you so worried about me?"
"I've always been completely confident in you, but I'm completely worried about this matter."
Zhou Ziheng smiled bitterly, said nothing, and turned away.
Zhou Ziying wanted to help Yu Xiaoye carry the luggage, but Yu Xiaoye insisted on carrying it himself and followed Zhou Ziheng closely.
Zhou Ziheng saw that the person who used to be so lively and carefree was now so well-behaved that he walked very carefully, fearing that he would make a mistake. Zhou Ziheng wanted to laugh but also felt a little distressed.
After leaving the guesthouse and about to part, Zhou Ziheng quietly grabbed his mother's arm.
Zhuang Huaijian glanced at her son and saw that he had something to say. The mother and son tacitly left Zhou Ziying and Yu Xiaoye and walked to a row of holly trees.
Zhou Ziheng said to his mother solemnly:
"Mom, she's young and hasn't experienced much. When you bring her home, please be patient with her and don't let her get nervous."
Seeing her son protecting her daughter everywhere, fearing that she would suffer any loss or injustice, Zhuang Huaijian felt that he really understood how to care for her. The old mother still felt very warm, and she took the opportunity to say:
"You know she's young, so tell me the truth. What are you thinking about dating?"
"I didn't think much of it. I was serious about it. I was planning on getting married, so she's your daughter-in-law, and I hope you can treat her as a family member."
Zhuang Huaijian was extremely surprised when he heard this:
"marry?!"
"Yes, get married."
"Then—have you met her parents? Do her parents know about this?"
"Don't worry, her parents are from our farm. They know I'm dating her and have already accepted me. In fact, I spent the New Year at their house. They already treat me as their son-in-law."
When saying this, Zhou Ziheng was full of pride and satisfaction, and felt that this was the most remarkable achievement in his life.
Zhuang Huaijian, however, began to doubt his life:
"You've already met her parents over there, why haven't you told me a word about it and kept it a secret until now?!"
"My sister knows."
Zhuang Huaijian sighed, feeling both angry and wanting to laugh:
"You two naughty kids, you've kept this old woman in the dark!"
Zhou Ziheng smiled flatteringly:
"It's not too late to know now, Mom. Go home and treat her well. She's new here and she must not be used to our family. Please pay more attention to her."
"Don't worry, I won't treat her unfairly—it's just—"
Zhou Ziheng knew what his mother wanted to say:
"I'll tell you the rest later."
Zhuang Huaijian frowned slightly:
"Hengzi, make sure you think this through carefully. If you bring this back to the compound and someone sees it, you won't have any regrets."
"I won't regret it, I won't regret it for the rest of my life, just take it back!"
Zhuang Huaijian sighed softly:
"With your words, I feel relieved. Since you have chosen her, I will recognize her as my daughter-in-law."
Zhou Ziheng smiled and nodded.
Zhuang Huaijian added:
"Just go ahead with your meeting. Take some time to go home. Don't always leave the girl alone at home."
"I know, Mom, thank you for your hard work."
Zhuang Huaijian smiled and felt that his son had become sweet-mouthed. It seemed that he said a lot of sweet words when he was with the girl.
The mother and son walked back.
There was a military jeep parked at the entrance of the guesthouse. They got on the jeep and first sent Zhou Ziheng to the meeting hall, and then Zhou Ziheng got off the car.
After getting off the car, Zhou Ziheng bent down, looked at Yu Xiaoye in the car window with some concern, and smiled at her gently.
Yu Xiaoye leaned against the car window and whispered:
"Just concentrate on the meeting and don't worry about me. I can take care of myself."
"Okay, I'll take some time to go back and accompany you."
"Um."
The two looked at each other lovingly. Zhou Ziheng stood up reluctantly and said to the driver:
"Let's go."
The driver stepped on the accelerator and left with Zhuang Huaijian, Zhou Ziying and Yu Xiaoye.
Yu Xiaoye sat up straight and found that Zhuang Huaijian was looking at her. She turned around and smiled politely at Zhuang Huaijian.
Zhuang Huaijian looked at this well-behaved and obedient girl. No wonder her son liked her so much. Even she, an old woman, liked her so much.
Zhuang Huaijian couldn't help but raised his hand and touched Yu Xiaoye's head, and asked:
"Xiao Ye, how old are you this year?"
"Nineteen."
nineteen? !
Zhuang Huaijian knew that the girl was not too old, but he was still shocked when he heard that she was only nineteen years old!
