Unexpectedly, this family gathering went more smoothly than Zhao Yu expected!
In the Sofitel Dome Restaurant, the laughter and laughter of Miao Ying's family could be heard, and the atmosphere was very pleasant and harmonious.
Zhao Yu also did not expect that the mother-in-law, codenamed Cactus, would always be thorny when talking to him, but now she has changed her previous state, and she seems to be a different person, and she smiles very cheerfully!
At the dinner table, she asked Zhao Yu about the details of the engagement, and focused on the anecdotes about Zhao Yu's battle with the fighting king Sangenov.
Only then did Zhao Yu realize that his mother-in-law, like his father-in-law, also had a strong interest in fighting and fighting, so he asked him very carefully.
Seeing that, the reason why she regretted not participating in Zhao Yu and Miao Ying's engagement was not the engagement itself, but missing the "wonderful" game.
Especially when the mother-in-law heard that Zhao Yu had not waited for the game to start, she punched Sangenov in the face. After the game was announced, she laughed so hard that she almost spit out the food in her mouth...
However, after she calmed down, she praised Zhao Yu and everyone else, saying that Zhao Yu knew how to adapt, how to assess the situation, and was thick-skinned. These were the qualities that a good agent should possess.
Zhao Yu paused in surprise, then sighed and said, this is the first time someone has used thick-skinned as a compliment! But it was clearly a compliment, but why did it still sound like a curse
When Zhao Yu said this, everyone immediately burst into laughter...
After all, Li Jie is a child. No matter what delicacies are available, he will be full without eating much. So, Xu Qin arranged for the agent to accompany the child to the far side of the restaurant to play with the toys.
After seeing Li Jie leave, the family at the dinner table no longer had any barriers and began to talk about their work.
The family are all agents of the Secret Service, so there is no limit to what they can say to each other, so the conversation is quite opportunistic.
Although Xu Qin already knew Zhao Yu's resume, she still asked emphatically about Zhao Yu's previous tasks.
From the earliest Miracle Island, to the later House of Sin, to Seoul, South Korea, the Uranus cruise ship, and the attack on the Rich Mansion...
Zhao Yu talked eloquently and showed off his shameless skills from time to time, which not only fascinated everyone, but also made everyone laugh.
At some critical moments, the father-in-law Miao Kun also came out to make jokes and make witty remarks, making the atmosphere even more intense.
"Zhao Yu," Xu Qin said, "Although we have never met before, I know that you are my future son-in-law, so I must pay more attention to you no matter what!
"To be honest, your performance since joining the Secret Service cannot be described as outstanding. If it were anyone else, let alone completing the mission, it would be a question of whether you could survive!" Xu Qin praised, "No wonder Mr. Miao The ghost will regard you as a treasure and respect you so much!
"In my opinion, whether it is the House of Crime or Seoul, South Korea, if there was no Zhao Yu..." Xu Qin turned to look at Miao Kun, "I'm afraid Old Ghost Miao would have become the real Old Ghost Miao long ago, right?"
"Well... what you're saying... ugh! I just think you care about me!" Miao Kun took a sip of his wine and said self-deprecatingly, "The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and there are talents in every generation!"
"However, seeing that my future uncle has the same charm as I did back then and is able to take charge," Miao Kun praised, "I am deeply gratified and satisfied! Haha..."
Miao Kun's words once again caused everyone to laugh.
"Don't make trouble, it's usually just a joke!" Zhao Yu picked up the wine glass and took a sip with his father-in-law, and said, "But to be honest, my father-in-law has always been my role model!
"I have learned a lot of things from you. If you hadn't brought me in, I wouldn't be as good a detective as I am today, right? Come on... we two brothers, oh no, one of us, my father!"
With that said, the two clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
Today, they drank red wine, but Zhao Yu didn't know what brand it was. He only knew that the wine prepared by his father-in-law must be good.
"However," Xu Qin reminded, "Zhao Yu, although the crazy detective is famous, as the mother-in-law, I have to remind you that in the future, you should pay more attention to restraint and be careful!"
Zhao Yu understood that her mother-in-law was really doing this for her own good, so she quickly clasped her fists and bowed: "You are right, I will pay more attention to it in the future!"
"If this building attack is really that Yaksha," Xu Qin added, "then we need to be more vigilant. What these people are best at is assassination!
"You have killed so many of them, and you will definitely be listed as a key target for revenge. That's why I suggest that you send Li Jie back..."
"One more person to be protected means one more experience!" Xu Qin said, "Also, I suggest you apply to your superiors as soon as possible for secret protection of your family, just in case!"
"No way?" Zhao Yu frowned, "This is the Nth time this year I have to protect my family. I guess if I don't get annoyed, they should get annoyed too!"
"It doesn't matter," Miao Kun said from the side, "I have made arrangements. Currently, I am only providing secret protection. Once I find that something is wrong, I will strengthen the level of protection!"
"Oh, that's good, that's good..." Zhao Yu wiped his sweat and said, "Don't worry, you two! Leave the matter regarding this Yaksha to me!"
"I know you have been given 24 hours from above," Zhao Yu said confidently, "Don't worry, I will definitely figure this out!"
In this way, the family exchanged opinions on the time at Regal Mansion. Seeing that it was almost time, this happy family gathering was about to come to an end.
Ding Lan led a group of agents to take charge of Li Jie's safety and temporarily took Li Jie back to the hotel to rest.
The mother-in-law had something to say to her daughter, so she took Miao Ying away.
Soon, only the father-in-law, Miao Kun and Zhao Yu, were left in the huge dome restaurant.
At this moment, Miao Kun's cheeks were red and he was slightly drunk. After seeing everyone else leave, he put his hand on Zhao Yu's shoulder and said the truth:
"Zhao Yu, I really have to say thank you! Today's gathering is also the fulfillment of a wish I have had for many years!"
"Really? You're welcome!" Zhao Yu filled up their wine glasses, "We are all from the same family, don't talk about two families!"
"Alas!" Miao Kun said, "When Xu Qin and I divorced, the biggest debt I owed was to Miao Miao...
"I've mentioned it many times before that the whole family has a meal together, but... that prickly ball... just doesn't buy it, he's just so individual..."
"Hmm..." Zhao Yu tried to ask, "My father-in-law, how did you get together with your mother-in-law in the first place? Since you know that her character is a prickly ball... um... Cactus, you still..."
"Alas!" Miao Kun took a bitter sip of wine and said, "It's so beautiful. It's a kind of beauty that can make you ignore your personality. I don't know... have you ever felt like this?"
"..." Zhao Yu looked up and gave a thumbs up.
“I tried to adapt,” Miao Kun said, “but it always had the opposite effect and made us quarrel.
"Of course, personality is one thing, work is the main reason! Our special job is destined to prevent us from having a stable family!
"I even rarely let Miao Ying and Ding Lan meet and let them grow up in two different places, just because I am afraid that some danger will happen and threaten both of them at the same time...
"The less we get together, the more we leave, and the less we get together, the more we leave, so gradually, the feelings fade away. I'm afraid this is the legendary thing - forgetting love over time, right
"So, you should know now why I insisted on opposing and letting Miao Ying join the Secret Service, right?"
"Holy shit..." Zhao Yu said, "You are against your daughter, but you are encouraging me so hard! It's so hurtful!"
"Fuck you!" Miao Kun retorted, "That's because I trust you and believe that you are really capable!
"To tell you the truth, what I am most worried about right now is that you and Miao Ying will make the same mistake as us. Because of this special job, you will not be able to maintain a normal family life...
"It's not just me, Xu Qin must be so worried too! And this is also..." Miao Kun hesitated and said, "One of the reasons why we are not in a hurry to get you married..."
"Uh-huh… "
Zhao Yu thought carefully about his father-in-law's words and felt that his worries were indeed very reasonable and he could not refute them.
In fact, when completing the previous tasks, Zhao Yu had already felt that the relationship between him and Miao Ying had become less strong due to work.
However, since he was young after all, he did not think deeply about it.
If he and Miao Ying were still members of the special investigation team of the Criminal Department, it would not be difficult to balance work and family.
But... the work of the Secret Service is completely different. Not to mention the danger, it is inevitable to gather a small number and separate a large number.
"Then..." Zhao Yu asked Miao Kun, "What do you mean?"
"After much thought, there is only one way! There is no best of both worlds in the world," Miao Kun said firmly, "If you really want to get together and maintain your own family, then you two have no choice but to quit!! !”
