Tang Yi raised his eyebrows, "Mother-in-law is wise."
"...Keep your voice down!" Zhao Chuning looked towards the restaurant nervously. The old man and the young boy were chatting about something, but luckily they didn't hear what Tang Yi said.
Zhang Rong and Xiao Yimi were talking halfway when she seemed to notice someone looking at her and spoke again: "If you keep dawdling, Mimi will be late."
"coming."
Zhao Chuning responded and took out slippers from the cupboard for Tang Yi to change into.
Little Yimi sat in one row with her grandmother, and Zhao Chuning and Tang Yi sat in another row, just opposite Zhang Rong.
Zhang Rong was quite cold towards Tang Yi and didn't talk much. Tang Yi was not good at dealing with elders, and he was not good at pleasing people, so he was silent. The breakfast was very awkward. Fortunately, Xiao Yimi was there to adjust the atmosphere, and she would look up from time to time to talk to her grandmother or Tang Yi, so the scene was not so cold that it froze people.
After breakfast, Tang Yi asked the driver to take Mimi to school, and then went downstairs to his hometown.
Zhang Rong came out pushing the luggage, and Tang Yi took it naturally, "Let me do it."
Zhang Rong didn't argue with him and let him take it, only telling her daughter to lock the door.
The three of them drove all the way to the highway. Zhao Chuning sat in the back seat with Zhang Rong. Tang Yi was very busy and answered several calls, but he just said a few words and hung up.
Zhao Chuning noticed that although his mother was sitting in the back seat, she was always looking at Tang Yi who was driving in the front.
There wasn't much change in her facial expression, making it difficult for her to tell what her attitude was.
"Mom, how is Dad now?" she asked, breaking the silence in the car.
"What else can we do? We are both old, and our bodies will eventually fail."
"Don't say that."
"I've been worrying about you and Mimi all the time. I've been worrying about you for so many years and I'm getting old fast. I don't think I can take care of you from now on!" When she said the last sentence, she glanced ahead meaningfully.
Zhao Chuning didn't respond. He was still thinking about how to talk about marriage.
When they drove to their hometown, as soon as they parked the car, many people gathered around. Firstly, Tang Yi's car was too eye-catching in such a place. Secondly, his face was really coveted.
So, as soon as Tang Yi got off the car, the neighbors around him started talking about him.
"Chu Chu, is this your boyfriend?"
"Ah..." Zhao Chuning glanced at his mother's face, and finally met Tang Yi's eyes, and could only nod, "Yeah."
Zhang Rong said nothing and went in first.
The neighbor was still sighing: "You have good taste! No wonder you didn't like any of the ones I introduced to you before."
Zhao Chuning smiled and said, "I'll go in and see my dad first."
The two of them went in with their luggage. Aunt San was still looking in, muttering to herself, "This girl really has a boyfriend?"
"So, Third Aunt, don't go and make yourself look bad. Although Chuchu has a child, her boyfriend is just as good."
"My introduction is not excellent? What do you mean by asking for trouble? I just care about you! Do you understand? I care about you!"
Everyone smiled and dispersed.
in.
Tang Yi and Zhao Chuning entered the room together.
She was worried about her father's health. When she went in, she saw him sitting on the sofa with a cold face, looking at them coldly.
That serious look made Zhao Chuning's heart tremble. Her father had always had a good temper and rarely got angry. The last time she saw him so serious was when she came back with the pregnancy results.
"Dad." Zhao Chuning called cautiously.
Tang Yi put his luggage aside. Although he was not good at coaxing people, he was good at observing people's expressions. He could clearly feel that the other party didn't like him, but he still greeted him politely: "Hello."
"I'm not good!" Zhao XX replied with a cold face.
As soon as these three words came out, the atmosphere became a little stiff and cold.
Zhao Chuning felt a little helpless. Zhang Rong pulled her away from Tang Yi and brought her to her father. In this way, it seemed as if their family was on the same front, and Tang Yi was alone.
"What's your name?" Zhao XX looked at Tang Yi and continued to ask.
"Tang Yi."
"You are the man who made Chu Chu pregnant and yet you are not responsible?"
"Dad, he didn't know I was pregnant before." Before Tang Yi could answer, Zhao Chuning spoke first.
"You're still helping him! If he really loves you, would he have hurt you so badly that you had to go to the hospital?" Zhao Hen, Zhao's father, said with a sullen face, "Your mother told me about what happened last time. I think you're obsessed, that's why you're still willing to be with this kind of person. What's so good about him?"
Tang Yi had never been accused like this by an outsider, and Zhao Chuning was worried that the situation would get out of control. However, he just remained silent for a long time, as if he was seriously repenting. After a while, he whispered in a deep voice: "I was wrong about what happened last time. I was too impulsive that day, so I hurt Chuchu. But actually..."
When Tang Yi said this, his eyes did not look at Zhao Hen, but at Zhao Chuning. He moved his thin lips and said, "It hurts me too."
Zhao Chuning's heart trembled.
His words of repentance were not spoken to others, but to her. She knew that he regretted that day, she could see it in his eyes, but she didn't expect that he would finally say it so frankly.
"I don't care what's going on with you. I just know that we as parents firmly don't agree with you being together. Not even dating!" Zhao Hen pointed at the door: "Mr. Tang, please! Please leave my house the same way you came here."
"Dad, I invited him here, you can't be so unreasonable." Zhao Chuning protected Tang Yi. He had his pride, and being kicked out like this was a humiliation for him.
Zhang Rong held her back and said, "When your father is lecturing someone, you should stop interrupting."
She also looked up at Tang Yi, "Mr. Tang, we have already come to this point, and I don't want to say anything too harsh. Please go in!"
Zhao Chuning finally figured it out. All the discomfort and pain were just a pretense. She just wanted to show off her power and embarrass Tang Yi. No wonder her mother didn't say a word of disagreement when Tang Yi said he wanted to send them back.
Zhao Chuning looked at Tang Yi, and his eyes were now also looking at her.
After exchanging a glance, he looked away and nodded to the two elders in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Then I'll leave first."
Going out now
Zhao Chuning was stunned and only saw his back as he left.
Zhao Hen and Zhang Rong looked at each other, somewhat dumbfounded.
"Really gone?" Zhang Rong asked, her expression much calmer than when she was facing Tang Yi just now. She quietly leaned out to look.
"What is this! Is this the only perseverance that young people nowadays have?" Zhao Hen frowned as he looked at the back.
