Chapter 1263 Wang Ying goes to the United States to meet her parents
"Grandpa, grandma, this is Wang Ying."
In the Zhou family villa, Zhou Chen pointed at Wang Ying, who was standing beside him, and introduced Zhou Guoxing and Tao Li.
When Wang Ying saw the two elders, her face turned red, she saluted respectfully and called: "Grandpa, grandma, hello."
"Hello."
A kind smile appeared on Zhou Guoxing's face, but he looked a little embarrassed.
Although he traveled all over the country, punched in Chinatown, and met many big shots, to be honest, it was his first experience to meet his grandson's wife. He didn't even know what expression to use, so he could only keep being kind.
smile.
Compared with him, Tao Li's attitude was much better. She stepped forward and grabbed Wang Ying, looked at him carefully, and her face was full of joy.
"You are Yingying. I have heard Xiaochen talk about you a long time ago. You are so handsome. Come and sit. Come and sit."
Although Wang Ying doesn't like others to touch her, she naturally won't reject Zhou Chen's elders and keeps a smile on her face.
"Hello grandma, I often hear Zhou Chen talk about you two. He said that if it weren't for you two, he wouldn't have achieved what he has now. You two are the closest people to him in his life."
Zhou Guoxing couldn't help but smile on his face. Regardless of whether Zhou Chen said this or not, it was enough to make him happy if it came from Wang Ying's mouth.
Tao Li laughed even louder: "Good boy, your mouth is so sweet. Grandma was still thinking before, what kind of outstanding girl can charm this kid Xiaochen. Now that I see you, I
Now I understand why he is like this, you kid seems to have stepped out of a painting."
In terms of appearance, Wang Ying may not be considered the most beautiful woman in the world, but she is definitely a great beauty. Especially after being together with Zhou Chen, she looks even more charming and radiant.
Coupled with her own confident and high-spirited temperament and her specially dressed up today, she definitely showed her most perfect side in front of the two elders.
"How can I not be as good as grandma said? Grandma is only young."
To be honest, Wang Ying is not the kind of person who is very good at compliments, but facing Zhou Chen, the only two elders, she still compliments her as much as possible.
Zhou Chen put the gifts brought by Wang Ying on the table: "Grandpa, grandma, Wang Ying brought these from China. They are all good things. For these things, she took a lot of effort to beg people."
The things Wang Ying brought were naturally not simple. Her parents had specially prepared them for her. Knowing that she was coming to meet elder Zhou Chen, they had to prepare enough etiquette and gifts.
Zhou Guoxing said very cooperatively: "Really? This child is here as soon as he comes. If he brings anything with him, he is not allowed to bring anything with him next time. Your grandma will prepare something delicious for you later."
Tao Li also pretended to be angry: "Your grandpa is right, this is going home, what should you bring home?"
Wang Ying could only smile and say yes, yes.
Wang Ying came here for the first time today, and she is not a very talkative person, so she didn't talk much, but Tao Li was very talkative and kept Wang Ying talking.
Tao Li's first impression of Wang Ying was good. Wang Ying and Zhou Chen were standing together. They were symmetrical in height, well matched in appearance, and had a sense of nobility. At a glance, she could tell that she was from a big family, and not all women from big families were.
Good, but she must be more sensible, mature and well-educated than ordinary girls.
She also saw that Wang Ying's eyes were pure, not the kind of hypocritical person who was pretentious, very real, and not the kind of girl with lots of tricks, which made her even more satisfied.
Her grandson is a man of great ability. Although she doesn't know how much money Zhou Chen has now, a few hundred million dollars is definitely the minimum, and there will be more and more in the future.
Therefore, she felt that a girl like Wang Ying, who was pure, real and not pretentious, would be more suitable for Zhou Chen.
In contrast, Zhou Guoxing doesn't care. In his words, he is just a rough man and his eyesight on people is not as good as that of his grandson. As long as his grandson likes him, he will agree with both hands. If it weren't for the two of them who are still young now.
, when he was still in school, he wanted to urge Zhou Chen to have a child as soon as possible. It was too boring to stay at home every day.
Wang Ying arrived in the afternoon, and Tao Li talked with her for a long time. It wasn't until dinner was ready that Tao Li let her go and took the initiative to go to the kitchen to cook.
Seeing that Tao Li and Zhou Guoxing had left temporarily, Wang Ying finally got a chance to breathe. She didn't care about being dignified and reserved, and took a long breath.
Zhou Chen asked with a smile on the side: "How is it? Are you okay? My grandma is really good at talking, right? She used to be the proprietress of a hotel."
"No wonder."
Wang Ying finally understood and said softly: "Is my performance just now okay? There is nothing rude about it, right?"
Zhou Chen smiled and comforted: "No, our family doesn't have so many rules. Look, my grandma just liked you. They used to be gangsters and they like to deal with real people the most, and you are a very real person.
.”
Wang Ying may have the squeamishness of a young lady, but it is undeniable that she is a real person, without any pretensions, and she can say whatever she wants, which is why her words sometimes seem heartbreaking.
Wang Ying said depressedly: "My performance just now was really bad. It was far worse than when you went to our house."
Thinking of Zhou Chen's calm demeanor when he went to her house, and looking at her reserved look just now, it was really incomparable.
Zhou Chen held her hand, crossed his index fingers, and said softly: "That's different. I'm a man. I want to give you confidence, so no matter how nervous I was at the time, I will overcome everything for you."
"Everything you said is right."
After talking to Zhou Chen for a few words, her nervous mood calmed down.
"Grandpa and grandma, will they be satisfied with me?"
"Such a good granddaughter-in-law can't be found even with a lantern, she must be satisfied."
"You will coax me."
"I'm really not coaxing you. My grandpa talks little, and I can tell by looking at his expression that he is satisfied. As for grandma, she can hold you and talk for so long, so she naturally likes you. She is like the person she likes.
There are a lot of conversations, and you don’t need to say much, just listen to her quietly, and she will be very happy.”
"oh."
Wang Ying nodded in understanding. She was rational and transparent, but when it came to her boyfriend's elders, she naturally had to be cautious.
At dinner, the four of them sat together to eat, and Tao Li was very enthusiastic.
"Yingying, I made these myself, and I don't know if you like to eat them."
Wang Ying nodded repeatedly: "I like it, grandma, I'm not picky about food."
Tao Li said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Grandma used to run a restaurant and knows that everyone's taste is different. Although they are all Chinese methods, there are still differences between foreign countries and domestic ones. If you like to eat, eat more. No.
If you like to eat, eat less, don't be cautious."
"Thank you grandma."
Wang Ying thanked her crisply.
There is no rule in the Zhou family that one should not speak when eating or sleeping.
Zhou Guoxing said: "Let Xiaochen take you around tomorrow. There are still many places to play here."
Wang Ying thanked her again. After coming for a long time, she slowly let go of her nervousness.
After the meal, Wang Ying chatted with Tao Li for a while before following Zhou Chen upstairs.
After Zhou Guoxing fell down, the old couple moved from the second floor of the villa to the first floor, so now only Zhou Chen lives upstairs.
Wang Ying walked around upstairs and couldn't help but ask: "Zhou Chen, the decoration style of your villa looks really good, simple yet luxurious. Who designed it?"
"It's just me."
Zhou Chen stretched out his hand and pointed at himself, which surprised Wang Ying even more: "Do you still know how to decorate?"
"I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit."
He is a true master of architecture, so decoration is not an issue.
Wang Ying couldn't help but wrap her arms around his neck and hang on him.
"My boyfriend is awesome and knows everything. He just found me, a lazy guy who doesn't know anything and only wants to enjoy himself."
"I can't help it. Why do I just like you, a lazy idiot like you?"
Zhou Chen kissed her hard, hugged her and sat on the edge of the bed, letting her sit on his lap.
"I've met your parents, and you've also met my grandparents today. You really can't escape my grasp from now on."
Wang Ying said angrily: "I can't escape a long time ago, okay, but you can't escape from my grasp in the future."
She also opened her beautiful hands, as if to hold Zhou Chen tightly.
Zhou Chen smiled slightly, grabbed her hand, put it down, and said softly: "You grabbed my life gate, so naturally I can't escape from your grasp."
Wang Ying's face turned red instantly and she quickly withdrew her hand with an angry look on her face.
"Can you be more serious?"
"It's hard for a man to be serious in front of the one he loves, because what I want is everything about you, including your body."
"Hate."
Wang Ying rolled her eyes, but still followed Zhou Chen's guidance and obeyed Zhou Chen.
"Be quiet, I don't want to be embarrassed."
"Don't worry, the decoration of this house was directed by me. The sound insulation effect is top-notch. Grandpa and grandma won't go upstairs, so we can do whatever we want."
"Freedom to show your strength, ah, what are you doing? It's annoying."
………………
Early the next morning, when Wang Ying saw Zhou Guoxing and Tao Li, her face was still a little red.
After all, he slept with Zhou Chen for the first time yesterday. Although he had recognized Zhou Chen for a long time, he was still a little shy.
The old couple didn't think anything was wrong. Zhou Chen took Wang Ying home, which was equivalent to showing his attitude to them, so they were still very supportive.
After having breakfast together, Tao Li said with a smile: "Yingying, let Xiaochen go out with you later and have a good time."
"Okay, grandma, do you and grandpa want to go out with us to relax?"
"We won't go. We are so old and can't play together with you young people. You can play with your own business. After two days, I will take you to the nearby shopping mall in the city center. There are many international shopping malls here.
brand."
Last night, she and Zhou Guoxing each gave Wang Ying a big red envelope. Wang Ying couldn't take it off, so she finally accepted it, which made her even more satisfied.
"OK."
Wang Ying naturally agreed wholeheartedly. If she had the opportunity to go shopping with Tao Li to get closer, she would naturally not refuse.
Zhou Chen and Wang Ying were walking hand in hand on the street. Wang Ying was in the summer vacation of her junior year, and it was Zhou Chen who brought her to the United States when he returned to China.
After dating Zhou Chen for more than two years, she finally agreed to Zhou Chen's invitation during this summer vacation and came to San Francisco with him. This was also Wang Ying's first official visit to meet Zhou Chen's elders.
After shopping for more than an hour, Zhou Chen took Wang Ying to a coffee shop to rest.
Wang Ying stirred the coffee in the cup, looked around, and said slowly: "Although this is Chinatown, it is still very different from China."
"Of course, this is America after all, but here at least you can feel the Chinese atmosphere at any time. If you go to other places and there are white people and black people everywhere, you will feel very uncomfortable."
Human beings are social creatures, and people of the same skin color are naturally closer to each other, except, of course, men from certain island countries.
"But it does seem a little more developed here than in China. No wonder so many people want to come to the United States to develop."
Wang Ying's vision is much better than that of ordinary people, so she is better able to discover the differences in the city.
Zhou Chen said: "Development is development, but the chaos in the dark is more serious. At night in America, it is best to go out less often. This is the consensus of many people, but with me by your side, these are all insulated from you.
There is no need to worry about that.”
He has lived here for many years, so he naturally knows how dark and chaotic the place is. Chinatown is fine, but in some places without police patrols, the crime rate there is so high that you can't even imagine it.
The saying that the police in the United States serve the rich is really not a joke.
The two ignored the topic, and Wang Ying said: "When I came here this time, Qian Xi asked me to bring something to give to He Xiaozhou. When are we going to see He Xiaozhou?"
"Let's play for a few days first, then we'll drive there directly."
Zhou Chen was not in a hurry and told Wang Ying about He Xiaozhou's current situation.
"Xiao Zhou works near the school. With his character, he is not willing to accept my help at all."
"He and Qian Xi both have the same character. They have to be strong and will not accept help easily. We don't have to think so much. Their lifestyle is different from ours, and we can't change them."
Wang Ying was very clear-eyed. She and Xiao Qianxi had been in the same dormitory for three years. Xiao Qianxi had only asked her once for help regarding He Xiaozhou. He had never asked her for help in other times, no matter how difficult it was.
Zhou Chen smiled and rubbed Wang Ying's head, and said with a smile: "My Yingying can still see clearly."
"Don't touch my head. You've messed up my hair. Why do you always like to rub my head?"
"I can't help it. Who makes you so cute? If I were at home, I would do more than just rub your head."
"rogue."
Wang Ying also had nothing to do with Zhou Chen. This bad guy just liked to do something to her.
"Spider-Man 2 is in theaters now, shall we go and see it later?"
"OK."
Nowadays, American blockbusters have begun to sell well all over the world. Even in China, American blockbusters have begun to be popular, especially superhero movies like Spider-Man, which are sought after by many people.
Zhou Chen also likes the Spider-Man series of movies. Of course, it is the first-generation Spider-Man series. Although the subsequent Spider-Man series movies have better graphics and better special effects, in his heart, the first-generation Spider-Man series is still the most classic. This may also be because
It has a youthful effect.
Two days later, Zhou Chen drove his supercar, a Porsche Carrera GT, and drove Wang Ying to Stanford University, handing over everything Xiao Qianxi had brought to He Xiaozhou.
He Xiaozhou also specially invited them to have a meal. Of course, it was just a simple dinner. After all, he was also very poor.
When Wang Ying came to the United States, Zhou Chen would take her everywhere to play whenever he was free. If he was busy, Tao Li would take her to shopping malls and buy famous brands.
Although Tao Li is not young, she still does not change her nature of beauty. When she went shopping, even Wang Ying couldn't bear it. In less than half a month, she bought a lot of things for Wang Ying.
Clothes, skirts, shoes, bags, none of them were left behind. More importantly, she didn't let Wang Ying pay for them at all. She paid for them all.
Wang Ying naively thought she had guessed who Zhou Chen's generous spending money came from.
Wang Ying had no choice but to accept the offer that she couldn't refuse. However, she reciprocated the courtesy and bought a lot of things for Tao Li and Zhou Guoxing, all of which were carefully selected.
This made Tao Li extremely happy. In the past, there were only two men in the family. Although Zhou Chen and Zhou Guoxing would buy things for her, they were men after all, and they often couldn't get along with her. Now with Wang Ying, she
Finally, I have someone I can go shopping with and talk with.
Wang Ying bought a lot of things for Zhou Guoxing, which also made Zhou Guoxing very happy. After all, they were bought by his future grandson-in-law. The feeling was so different that the clothes Wang Ying had just bought for him two days ago were put on the next day and Tao was impressed.
Li always despised him for showing off.
In Chinatown, in a relatively high-end Western restaurant, Zhou Chen and Wang Ying had lunch together.
Today, an old friend of Zhou Guoxing celebrated his 70th birthday, and the old couple went to have a banquet, so they did not eat at home, but came to this Western restaurant.
Zhou Chen helped Wang Ying cut the steak before, but today it was Wang Ying who cut the steak for Chen. Zhou Chen just looked at her quietly with a smile on his face.
Wang Ying handed the cut steak to Zhou Chen: "I don't cut it as well as you, so just eat it as you like."
"It doesn't matter, as long as you help me, it will be the most delicious."
"If you like to eat, wait until I get back to practice and fry steak for you. You can't always cook for me."
"Okay, I'll teach you then."
While the two were dining, a dispute suddenly broke out at the cashier's office not far from them.
Wang Ying just glanced at it and didn't care anymore, and continued to eat hers gracefully.
Zhou Chen turned his head curiously and looked over there.
I saw a young man with yellow skin, arguing excitedly with the restaurant staff in broken English.
Zhou Chen also recognized him, and he was also a customer in the store. He had just seen it when he and Wang Ying came in. There was a white woman with him at that time, but by this time the white woman had disappeared.
Zhou Chen heard a few key words, it was that this yellow-skinned man had no money to pay the bill, etc. He didn't care at first, but when he heard the man suddenly say "fuck you", he immediately became more worried.
Feeling of intimacy.
"My fellow countrymen."
Even Zhou Chen, who didn't like to meddle in other people's business, decided to see if he could help after hearing these kind words.
So he said to Wang Ying: "That man is also Chinese. He seems to be in trouble. Let me go and have a look."
Wang Ying took a look and had no objection.
"Okay, be careful."
Zhou Chen smiled, then stood up and walked towards the cashier.
I saw the Chinese compatriot still excitedly arguing with the restaurant staff.
Zhou Chen came here and asked directly: "What's going on?"
When the restaurant staff saw Zhou Chen, they immediately greeted him respectfully: "Hello, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Chen is definitely a celebrity in Chinatown. It is not surprising for the staff of a relatively high-end Western restaurant like this to know him.
When the young man who had been defending saw Zhou Chen, his face suddenly lit up and he asked directly in Chinese: "Chinese?"
Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Yes, it seems we are compatriots. Hello, my name is Zhou Chen."
When Wei Zhuo heard Zhou Chen's standard Mandarin, he was immediately excited.
"Hello, my name is Wei Zhuo, and I'm from Shanghai."
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Looking at you, you seem to be in trouble?"
As soon as Wei Zhuo mentioned the trouble, he immediately became angry and complained angrily.
"Yes, I just went to the toilet. When I came back, I found that my wallet was gone. The person I met in the toilet must have stolen it. My money and documents were all in it. I am now confused.
I have no money to pay the bill; I just called my friend, but it didn’t work, and now they won’t let me go, and they even told me to call the police. What do you mean, it’s just a matter of a few hundred dollars, I’m that
Is this the kind of person who will default on his debts?"
Zhou Chen frowned and asked, "Are you sure it was stolen in the restaurant?"
"Definitely. It was still on me when I came in. If I didn't have money, how could I come in to eat?"
Wei Zhuo looked sure, he really wanted to curse people. He originally wanted to pick up a Yangma and invite them to dinner, but the money was gone and the white woman ran away regardless of him. He really lost both his life and money.
When had the mighty Master Wei of the Demon City ever suffered such injustice?
"I explained it to them, but they still didn't believe it, but there's no surveillance in the toilet, nothing like that."
Zhou Chen nodded to express his understanding. Judging from Wei Zhuo's dress, he knew that this person was not short of money. What he said should be true, but his English skills were a bit worrying.
"We are destined to meet each other. We are all compatriots. I will handle it."
Then he said to the restaurant staff: "His account is in my account."
The staff immediately nodded respectfully and said yes, as long as he didn't have to pay any money.
Upon hearing this, Wei Zhuo thanked Zhou Chen with a grateful expression.
"Man, thank you so much."
"It's just a small thing. We are all compatriots. We should help each other when we go out. No need to thank you."
For Zhou Chen, this is a small thing. In a foreign country, a few hundred dollars can help compatriots who are in trouble. He feels it is worth it.
