In front of his elders, Zhao Dong was still a little embarrassed after he had just bullied a girl. Even if it was a legitimate relationship between husband and wife.
He hurriedly held Sophie in his arms, his expression slowly returned to normal, and he greeted: "Aunt Mei."
Wu Mei nodded, and her eyes first fell on Sophie.
Sophie's face was flushed, and her eyes were filled with the enthusiasm and excitement that a happy woman should have. Her bright eyes were as bright as a flame, and her compelling temperament made it almost impossible to look at her.
Wu Mei saw Sophie in such a state, and smiled with some relief, "I was worried that you would be wronged, but now it seems that I am worrying blindly."
Sophie's mood returned and she lowered her head in embarrassment, "Aunt Mei, I'm fine."
Wu Mei changed her tone, "Were you not full just now? I asked Ma Wang to pack you some of your favorite meals, take them back, and ask Zhao Dong to heat them up for you when you go home. If nothing else, don't eat out, no.
It’s not nutritious and it’s not hygienic.”
Sophie declined, "I'm full."
Wu Mei handed over the lunch box anyway, and at the same time warned, "You go to the car and wait for a while, I have something to say to Xiaodong."
Sophie looked at Zhao Dong worriedly.
Zhao Dongqing put his hand on her shoulder, indicating that it was okay.
When Sophie left, Wu Mei looked straight at Zhao Dong with complicated expressions.
Zhao Dong scratched his head in embarrassment, "Aunt Mei, you make me feel embarrassed."
Wu Mei was amused by her, "You are so brave, you will be embarrassed if I look at you twice?"
Zhao Dong said honestly, "Well, I'm quite shy."
Wu Mei glared, "Shy? I didn't notice it. I didn't know who was in the house just now. I almost lifted the roof of the house!"
Zhao Dong patted his chest, "I was just drinking to be brave. Really, my hands are all twitching now. I was a little confused today. I'll have to trouble you to explain it to my father-in-law later."
Wu Mei's tone was serious, "Don't follow me. I have no intention of starting a fight with you. Zhao Dong, I will just say one thing, since Xiaofei has recognized you, you must treat her honestly. From now on,
Don’t hurt her, take care of her, protect her! Don’t break her heart because of those messy women, do you hear me?”
"If you can't do it, I, Wu Mei, will never let you go even if I risk my life!"
Zhao Dong said seriously, "Aunt Mei, don't worry, only Xiaofei will bully me in this life, and I will never bully her!"
Wu Mei nodded, "That's what a man said. I can see that in Xiao Fei's heart, your weight is much heavier than that of us elders. I don't blame her. After all, many things happened in her family during this period."
She may not be able to understand it, but no matter whether she can understand or accept it, the family is doing it for her best!"
"Go back and stay with her. When her father calms down after a while, you can bring her back."
As she spoke, Wu Mei raised her hand and handed over a coat, "I asked Ma Wang to wash it for you."
Zhao Dong took the coat and thanked him.
After hesitating for a moment, Wu Mei warned her again, "Don't tell her what happened at Tian's house today. I'm afraid she'll be worried. It's all grudges between the older generation. If you want to know, you can ask me another day."
"Okay, I've said everything I need to say, you can go."
Zhao Dong didn't ask any more questions, turned around and got in the car.
Sophie turned around and asked curiously: "Zhao Dong, are you hiding something from me?"
Zhao Dong smiled bitterly, "What can I hide from you?"
Sophie asked reluctantly, "What's going on with Aunt Mei? I feel...she seems to be slowly starting to accept you!"
Zhao Dong was dumbfounded, "What do you mean? Do you still hope that she will never look down on me for the rest of her life? Are you still happy when she sees me with blue eyes?"
Sophie scolded, "Of course I didn't mean that. I just don't understand why the relationship between you two suddenly eased?"
Zhao Dong joked half-jokingly, "Have you ever heard of an old saying, the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she looks at him, the more she likes him!"
Sophie pinched it and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhao Dong took advantage of the situation and held her in his arms, "That's not what I meant. Think about it, although Aunt Mei is just your aunt, I feel that she really treats you as her daughter, and you are still considered half of me."
Mother-in-law, right?"
Seeing Sophie's silence, Zhao Dong added, "Actually, I think Aunt Mei has a hard time sometimes."
"For a woman with no children to speak of, and with the Su family having such a large fortune, her status is quite embarrassing. After so many years, she may indeed have many difficulties that outsiders don't understand."
Sophie was confused, "Why did you suddenly become her lobbyist? What benefits has she given you? Have you forgotten that she used to look down on you and look down on you everywhere?"
Zhao Dong shook his head and explained seriously: "I'm not saying that some of her previous actions were right, but since she is willing to admit my identity as the son-in-law of the Su family, I don't want to hold on to the past."
"It's not that I'm magnanimous, but I don't want you to be caught in the middle and be scolded. I also have a temper, but they are all your family members. I can't hold grudges forever, right? The most important thing is, I don't
I hope that every time you go home, you will not be unhappy with your family because of me. I also really hope that there are more family members around you who love you, cherish you and cherish you more than me!"
"So since there are some things that Aunt Mei is willing to expose, I will give her this step."
Sophie listened intently, and her heart skipped a beat, "Zhao Dong, why are you so nice to me?"
Zhao Dong held her cheek, rubbed it and said, "Because you are worth it!"
Sophie bit the corner of her mouth, her eyes watery, "Zhao Dong, do you have a purpose?"
Zhao Dong smiled bitterly, "What purpose can I have?"
Sophie raised her tongue and said, "If there is no purpose, then why are you coaxing me with sweet words?"
Zhao Dong looked like an old god was here, "What do you mean by rhetoric? This is called speaking out of emotion!"
Sophie moved closer to Zhao Dong's cheek, "Really?"
At such a short distance, with red lips and white teeth, and eyes like stars, Zhao Dong suppressed the restlessness in his heart and said, "Really!"
Sophie shrugged, "Okay, I'm tired tonight and want to go to bed early. Don't touch me when you get home!"
The heat in Zhao Dong's heart was extinguished by a basin of cold water, and he suddenly felt like an eggplant beaten by frost. He said pitifully: "Huh?"
Sophie stared, "Ah what, drive!"
Zhao Dong was filled with regrets and lost his mind.
Sophie smiled and raised her fingers, "Look at your potential, come here!"
Before Zhao Dong could get closer, the aroma hit his face, followed by a gentle whisper in his ear, "..."
The two simple sentences were like a few lines of ants crawling through Zhao Dong's heart, and even his palms holding the steering wheel suddenly tightened!
