Chapter 380 Mandarin Duck

"dad!"

Zhang Ruowei rolled his eyes and said, "Is there something wrong with you?"

After Zhang Zhao finished speaking, he knew that he had asked the wrong question, but when he saw that his daughter was still getting angry with him, he just held the water glass and turned to the other side, like an old child venting his dissatisfaction.

Zhao Ming awkwardly took out two paper towels and wiped the water off the floor. He looked at Zhang Ruowei with great grievance, not knowing what he should say at this moment.

Fortunately, at this time, Tao Meihua stepped forward to come to the rescue.

She sat down next to Zhang Zhao, then continued the topic and asked, "Are you a local?"

"Well, my dad is from Magic City and my mom is from Sichuan and Chongqing. I also have my own house in Magic City."

"It's not that Auntie looks down on outsiders, it's just that we only have one daughter, Ruowei, and I don't want her to be too far away from us in the future. Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhao Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and nodded.

"What do your parents do?"

"My dad has retired a long time ago, and my mom has never worked much."

Zhang Zhao has been working abroad all year round and may not know his daughter very well, but Tao Meihua has spent a relatively long time with her daughter, so she can see a lot of Zhang Zhao's feelings from the relationship between her daughter and Zhao Ming. Something that doesn’t come out.

For example, the subconscious glances between his daughter and Zhao Ming, and the slight nervousness his daughter showed when he asked the question just now, all show that the relationship between his daughter and this Zhao Ming is already very unusual.

Tao Meihua knew that her daughter had been very discerning since she was a child, so Zhao Ming must have passed the test in terms of character, quality, etc.

From Zhao Ming's clothes and conversation, it can be seen that his family background is not bad.

But after all, it is a marriage event.

After all, it is about my daughter’s happiness for decades to come.

So you still have to ask clearly.

"You just said you work in an investment company, so what are your plans for the future?"

"this."

Zhao Ming scratched his head and didn't know how to answer.

Zhang Zhao couldn't listen anymore, he turned his head and said with some dissatisfaction: "You are twenty-four or five years old, don't you have any plans for your life?"

You really can't blame Zhao Ming.

His career path has been paved, and he has no other choice.

Zhao Ming could only reply truthfully: "I...my uncle is the boss of Lisheng Capital. I am now the head of the department in my uncle's company, so I may have no other choice in terms of work."

Seeing that Zhang Zhao and Tao Meihua were silent, Zhao Ming quickly said another sentence that he said today that satisfied Zhang Ruowei the most: "But life is definitely more important than work. Don't worry, uncle and aunt, even if I am busy in the future, I will definitely make time. Come to accompany Ruowei."

"Well……"

Zhang Zhao cleared his throat and said without hesitation: "That's good."

Tao Meihua looked at the empty cup in Zhao Ming's hand and asked with a smile: "Would you like to add some water?"

"No, I'm not thirsty."

Zhang Ruowei finally stood up at this time: "Okay, okay, it's getting late, you should go back first."

Zhao Ming quickly stood up, said goodbye to Zhang Zhao and Tao Meihua, turned around and left.

Zhang Ruowei also followed.

As soon as Zhao Ming walked out of the house, he took several deep breaths in succession.

"What about you?"

Zhang Ruowei stood behind and said funnyly: "My parents don't eat people."

Zhao Ming said with a bitter face: "Mainly, I am not prepared at all, and your dad seems to have some objections to me."

"You're overthinking."

"real?"

"real."

"Then I'll go back first."

"Um."

"I'm still a little nervous, can you let me hold you?"

"no."

Zhang Ruowei refused cleanly. Seeing that Zhao Ming was a little disappointed, she quickly added: "Let's talk tomorrow."

When Zhao Ming heard this, he immediately smiled and left happily.

Home.

On the sofa.

The couple was sitting hand in hand, browsing information about Lisheng Capital on the Internet.

Zhang Ruowei sat down across from him, crossing his legs and looking at them.

"Hey, it's such a big company."

"Our daughter will not be bullied when she gets married. In TV dramas, the richer the family, the worse the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."

"A TV show is a TV show, and that's acting."

"What if."

The more Zhang Ruowei listened, the more speechless she became. Finally, she stood up and snatched the phone away. Then she looked down at her parents and said, "That's enough for you two. You can go and do whatever you want. You don't have to worry about me."

Zhang Zhao said: "Their family's conditions are so good, your mother and I are afraid that you will be bullied if you marry."

"It's more like me bullying him."

"What the hell?"

"I've already met him. We even had dinner together at noon. He's a very good-tempered person... Besides, Zhao Ming has no brothers or sisters. If we have children by then, I can take the emperor by surprise." In order to please the princes, I will be the highest-ranking person in the family at that time, okay?"

The old couple looked at each other, their heads buzzing. They never expected that their innocent and kind-hearted baby daughter would have thought so far.

…

On the way back.

Zhao Ming, who had been in ups and downs all day, still made a voice call to Xu Ye.

Xu Ye answered quickly.

"Hello, Mr. Zhao."

"I just met Zhang Ruowei's parents."

"Okay." Xu Ye smiled and said, "It's fast enough. What do his parents say? They shouldn't object to you two having a relationship, right?"

"I don't object to it, but I feel like his dad seems a little unhappy with me."

"Nonsense, it's normal to see you unhappy. The first time I met my father-in-law, I felt like he wanted to chop me with a knife. He still feels unhappy with me."

Xu Ye smiled and said, "Think about it from another angle. If you have a daughter in the future who is as beautiful as a flower at the age of twenty, and suddenly brings a boyfriend to the house, what will you, the father, think?"

"Fuck."

Zhao Ming suddenly felt at ease: "What you said seems to make sense."

"You don't have to worry about her father. If you make her mother happy, everything will be fine."

"Hurry up and show me how to make her mother happy."

"Ask Zhang Ruowei, ask her mother what her hobbies are, and then you can prescribe the right medicine. Remember to have a sweeter mouth. Older women's ears are soft."

"Awesome."

"Okay, if there's nothing else to do, I'll hang up now."

"When will you return to the Magic City?"

"Let's go back after the Lantern Festival this year. A clothing brand I invested in before has a lot to do after the New Year. There's nothing going on at the company anyway, so I'll just step aside and be the shopkeeper."

"You had such a comfortable life as a child."

"improvise."

"That's it, hang up."

"Um."

…

The past few days have passed very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, New Year's Eve is here.

Xu Yetian was woken up by a few unlucky children setting off firecrackers downstairs before dawn. He lazily got up from the bed, yawned and walked to the living room.

Lao Zhang was busy in the kitchen preparing for the evening reunion dinner. Perhaps because Chen Qingqing was coming in the evening, this year's New Year's Eve dinner was more fully prepared than before, while Lao Xu was sitting on a small chair on the balcony fixing the hot pot.

Seeing Xu Ye getting up so early today, Lao Zhang smiled and said, "Master, are you getting up so early today?"

Xu Ye shrugged: "Today is not the Chinese New Year."

"Go and wash your face quickly, eat something for breakfast and lunch, and then eat something good at night."

Xu Ye nodded and asked, "Dad, is the hot pot broken?"

"Well, there was no response after plugging it in for a long time."

"Stop being so pretentious, I'll drive to the supermarket to buy one later."

"I'll just take a look at Xiuxiu anyway. If Qingqing can't eat spicy food, remember to buy a mandarin duck pot later."

Xu Ye smiled and said, "I know."
