Chapter 424: Let’s talk again, ‘mother-in-law and daughter-in-law’ meet
"Oh, I understand, is Auntie okay?"
"Okay, then hurry up and go there. We are not in a hurry."
Guan Juer hung up the phone in a hurry, his face full of anxiety and worry.
Fan Shengmei, who was shopping with her in the mall next to her, asked doubtfully: "Guan Guan, is it Zhou Chen's call? What's wrong? You look worried?"
Guan Ju'er said with a worried look on his face: "Zhou Chen's mother has a heart condition and is said to have high blood pressure."
Fan Shengmei's eyes suddenly widened: "I asked you to come over for dinner today, and suddenly you fell ill. It can't be such a coincidence, right? Is it intentional?"
Guan Ju'er shook his head and said: "Impossible, Zhou Chen is very filial and there is no way he would lie to me about this kind of thing. Moreover, I have met his parents, and they are not that kind of people."
Fan Shengmei thought for a while and said: "What you said makes sense. It is really not necessary. After all, we live in the same building. We can see each other without looking up. There is no need to make such a lame excuse. It seems that his mother is really sick.
Already."
"So Zhou Chen said, let me not go there at noon."
When Fan Shengmei heard this, she nodded her head speechlessly: "Xiao Guanguan, what are you thinking about in your little head? Isn't this a good opportunity for you to be attentive and please your future mother-in-law?"
"ah?"
"Ah, what? You hurry up and tell Zhou Chen that you are worried about his mother and want to go over and have a look. Elderly people like considerate daughters-in-law. You should show off more at this time."
Guan Ju suddenly said: "Sister Fan, do you think so too?"
It was Fan Shengmei's turn to be surprised. She asked, "Have you thought of it all?"
Guan Ju'er giggled and said: "I didn't think that much, I just thought that if you don't know, forget it. Now that you know, as a junior, you should come and have a look."
That's what she really thought. If she didn't know, it would be fine. If she knew, she would definitely go and see it, otherwise she would appear rude.
So she called Zhou Chen again and said she wanted to see her aunt. Zhou Chen naturally didn't refuse. Anyway, it was very convenient to go up and downstairs.
Andy was thinking about it and finally got on the phone with Zhou Guofu, but they didn't reach an agreement on the phone.
Finally, Zhou Guofu said that if it was convenient, we could meet in Magic City for talks in three days.
Of course Andy will not refuse this. For her, being able to meet the person who adopted her brother means that she can meet her biological brother.
Since the other party has agreed to see her, Andy naturally has no need to stay. She left 200,000 and gave it to Xie Yajing.
Xie Yajing did not want to accept Andy's money, but Andy's attitude was also very firm, saying that he wanted to thank her for taking care of her younger brother. In the end, she did not give Xie Yajing a chance to refuse, and left the orphanage with Lao Yan.
Zhou Chen hurried home and saw his mother lying on the bed with a wrong look on her face.
"Mom, how are you? You were fine when I left this morning. Why are you like this now?"
Zhou Chen sat by the bed, grabbed his mother's hand, and began to feel her pulse.
Sun Yi forced a smile and said: "I'm fine, but my blood pressure is a bit high and I feel uncomfortable. I'll be fine after a while."
As an old doctor, Zhou Chen quickly noticed the problem from Sun Yi's pulse and frowned.
"Mom, are you frightened or something?"
He found out that his mother's pulse was indeed not normal, and it was difficult to confirm the blood pressure, but her heartbeat and anger were indeed wrong. This situation was a bit like being frightened, or caused by excessive anger.
But fortunately it was not a big problem, which made him relieved.
Sun Yi said: "It's really nothing serious. It's just that I can't cook today. I asked you to bring your girlfriend back, but it ended up like this."
"What are you talking about, Mom, your body is the most important thing, don't think nonsense."
Zhou Chen comforted him softly, and then said: "Guan Guan heard that you were not feeling well and wanted to come over and see you. I agreed."
"ah?"
When Sun Yi heard this, she immediately sat up from the bed and said eagerly: "Didn't your father tell you not to let Xiaoguan come over today? Why did you still let her come over?"
"Mom, slow down."
Zhou Chen quickly helped his mother and leaned against the bedside, and then explained: "I told him that you were not feeling well, but Guan Guan wanted to come over and see you because of this. She is a very kind and very kind person.
If a filial girl wants to come, I can't stop her, otherwise she will definitely think too much and think you won't let her come."
Sun Yi said dissatisfied: "How could we not welcome her? It's just the first time she came here and saw me sick. It's not good after all."
"Mom, our family doesn't pay attention to these things, and neither does their family. Besides, it's normal for the daughter-in-law to come to visit her mother-in-law in the future."
Zhou Chen smiled and said to Sun Yi. Although he didn't know why his mother Sun Yi was uncomfortable, the most important thing at this time was to soothe her mood.
Sun Yi couldn't help but laugh, "You kid, you haven't even officially met yet, and you are your future daughter-in-law. Do you really feel so satisfied with this little relationship?"
In her opinion, the reason why her son has not found a girlfriend these years is because he has too high standards and looks down on other girls.
But Zhou Chen chose Guan Ju'er as his girlfriend, which surprised her. She had met Guan Ju'er and felt that this girl was good.
But to be honest, this Xiaoguan's appearance is not very outstanding, his education is average, and his family situation is not bad, but he does not have a very outstanding side, at least she has not discovered it yet.
If an ordinary boy finds such a girlfriend, he will definitely make a profit, but her son is a genius. He has made such a big fortune at a young age and has become one of the top richest men in the country.
Zhou Chen, who is like this, found Guan Ju'er as his girlfriend. Even as a mother, she was very surprised.
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Mom, my standard for finding a wife is not how beautiful she is or what her family background is. I just want to find someone who looks at me all the time and who can help me be filial.
It’s enough to be a parent, stabilize the family, and be a good wife and mother.”
A good wife and mother is what every man pursues, and Zhou Chen is the same. If you want excitement, you can look outside, but finding a wife who can get married depends on your character.
Zhou Guofu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly agreed: "Xiao Chen, Dad agrees with your statement. When looking for a wife, it is better to find a suitable one. Although there are some good ladies with rich daughters, it is not good if they are not compatible. If you really want to marry someone who has high ambitions and low skills.
, A woman who can toss things around is truly unsettled."
"Old Sun, since the child is coming to see you, don't think too much. I'll go get some food later, just make some simple food and let the child eat here."
Originally, they were all ready to give up and do nothing, but since Guan Ju'er is coming, they still have to make food.
When Sun Yi heard this, she immediately sat up straight: "Forget it, I'll do it."
"No, Mom, you are responsible for resting today and leave the cooking to me and Dad. You can just wait and eat."
Zhou Chen held Sun Yi down and prevented her from getting up.
Sun Yi immediately said: "How can this be done? How can I let you get it? Just wait and eat."
Growing up, she never let Zhou Chen stay in the kitchen. No matter how busy she was, she would always find a way to cook for Zhou Chen. In this regard, she could be said to be quite doting on him.
But in the end, she still couldn't resist Zhou Chen and reluctantly lay on the bed to rest. Zhou Chen and Zhou Guofu went to the kitchen to cook.
Zhou Chen has indeed not cooked for many years, because it is not his turn to cook in this world. He has parents at home, people to take care of him outside, and a nanny at home.
However, Zhou Guofu can still cook, so Zhou Chen helped, and the two of them made lunch.
Guan Ju'er carried the nutritional supplements he just bought and came to the door of 2103. He took a few deep breaths and still didn't ring the doorbell.
Although she had made the decision to come and see Zhou Chen's parents, she was still nervous and scared when things came to a close.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally gritted her teeth and rang the doorbell.
When Zhou Chen heard the bell, he was cleaning up in the kitchen, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Dad, Guan Guan is here. I'll open the door."
When Zhou Guofu heard this, he nodded quickly, "Okay, I'll call your mother now."
With that said, he trotted towards the bedroom.
Zhou Chen opened the door and saw a nervous Guan Ju'er, who was still carrying something in her hand.
"Here you go, why don't you call me? I'll pick you up upstairs."
Guan Ju'er whispered: "It's okay, it's just a few steps away. I don't know what my uncle and aunt like, so I just brought these things. Is it okay?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "It's okay, our family doesn't care about this, just do your best, come in."
Guan Ju'er walked in cautiously. This was her first time at Zhou Chen's house, and she was extremely nervous.
"Is Auntie feeling better?"
"It's nothing serious, just a little frightened and my blood pressure is high."
The two walked into the living room and saw Zhou Guofu and Sun Yi coming out of the bedroom.
Zhou Chen first introduced: "Dad, Mom, this is Guan Juer. You have met her before, but today is different. She came to the door as my girlfriend."
With a smile on her face, Sun Yi let go of Zhou Guofu's support and walked towards Guan Ju'er.
"Xiaoguan, do you mind if I call you that?"
Guan Ju'er quickly bowed and said: "I don't mind, I don't mind, aunt, hello, my name is Guan Ju'er, this is my first time, oh, no."
She was about to say that they had met for the first time, but suddenly realized that they had already met before, and her face turned red immediately, and she took out the things in her hand in embarrassment.
"Auntie, uncle, these are some nutritional supplements I bought. I hope uncle and aunt won't dislike them."
Sun Yi immediately pretended to blame: "You kid, you're here as soon as you come, why are you buying anything, Xiaochen?"
Zhou Chen immediately took the things from Guan Ju'er's hands with understanding, and then Sun Yi took Guan Ju'er's hands affectionately.
"Come on, Xiaoguan, let's sit down and talk."
Guan Ju'er had never experienced such a scene. She couldn't help but look back at Zhou Chen and found that Zhou Chen gave her an encouraging look, which made her feel a little more relaxed.
Sun Yi looked at Guan Ju'er. Guan Ju'er's style had changed a bit since the last time they met, and she almost didn't recognize him.
"Xiaoguan, I'm sorry. We had already agreed, but something happened to my aunt suddenly, and I want you to come and visit her."
Guan Ju'er quickly said: "Auntie, please don't say that. I am a junior and it is my duty to come and see you. As long as you are in good health, it will be fine."
"What a good boy."
Sun Yi patted Guan Juer's hands and smiled even happier.
"Tell auntie whether our Xiaochen ever bullied you when he was with you. If he bullies you, tell auntie and I will help you teach him a lesson."
"No, Auntie, Zhou Chen is very good to me."
Seeing them talking there, Zhou Chen and Zhou Guofu did not interrupt, but put the food on the table.
After he was done, Zhou Chen called out: "Mom, it's time to eat."
Sun Yi then said: "Let's go, kid, to eat. This time it's cooked by Xiaochen and his dad, so you can just eat it. Next time you come back, Auntie will cook it for you."
"Auntie, you are so kind."
…………
Perhaps because she saw Zhou Chen's girlfriend, Sun Yi was undoubtedly in a much better mood. After eating, she pulled Guan Ju'er and kept talking.
Although Guan Ju'er had never experienced such a scene, her good tutoring and quality allowed her to chat with Sun Yi very obediently without being impatient at all.
Guan Juer stayed at Zhou Chen's house until four o'clock in the afternoon, and then was taken away by Zhou Chen.
After having a romantic dinner with Zhou Chen, she returned to her 22nd floor.
As soon as Guan Ju'er returned home, he was surrounded by several women.
Fan Shengmei, Qiu Yingying, and Qu Xiaoxiao.
"Xiao Guanguan, I heard that you went to Zhou Chen's house to meet his parents?"
Qu Xiaoxiao waited and looked at Guan Ju'er with a teasing expression.
During this period of time, she has become familiar with Guan Ju'er, and relying on her cheeky skills, she does not regard herself as an outsider at all.
Qiu Yingying also asked: "Guan Guan, tell us quickly, what's going on? How do Zhou Chen's parents treat you?"
Fan Shengmei said: "It's no need to ask. We must get along well, otherwise we wouldn't have come back until now. Am I right, Guan Guan?"
Guan Ju'er blushed and said: "Uncle and aunt are very nice people. I was quite nervous when I went there, but then I relaxed after staying for a long time."
Qu Xiaoxiao held her chin: "Then it seems that the first impression should be good, Xiao Guan Guan, congratulations on joining a wealthy family."
"A wealthy family, what wealthy family? Is Zhou Chen's family a wealthy family?"
Qiu Yingying asked Qu Xiaoxiao with a curious look on her face. Even Guan Ju'er and Fan Shengmei looked at him.
Fan Shengmei said curiously: "Xiaoqu, do you know something? That's right, you are good at investigating people. It seems that you have also investigated Zhou Chen?"
"Ahem."
Qu Xiaoxiao coughed twice quickly and said calmly: "Don't talk nonsense. I haven't investigated Zhou Chen. I only got the answer based on my own inference. You see, the ones he opened are five to six million."
Luxurious cars, how can such a person not be a wealthy person?"
"Let's not talk about it anymore. Today is Xiao Guan Guan's happy day. We should congratulate her. How about I treat you to a midnight snack?"
Qiu Yingying looked surprised: "Xiaoqu, why are you so bold today?"
Qu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes: "Sister has always been so generous, okay."
Fan Shengmei waved her hand and said: "Forget about late night snacks, I have to go to bed before 10:30 every day."
Guan Ju'er also said: "Xiaoqu, forget it, I have to get up and go to work tomorrow."
"Yes, I have to go to work too."
Qiu Yingying is also trying to gain a sense of presence. She has resigned from her previous company and now finds a coffee shop selling coffee.
"Okay, forget it if you don't go, then I'll go back and think about how to defeat my Dr. Zhao."
Qu Xiaoxiao had a look of helplessness on her face. She wanted to treat her to a late night snack but no one accepted her invitation. It was so boring.
But Qiu Yingying pulled her back with a gossipy face and asked curiously: "Doctor Zhao? Xiaoqu, who is Dr. Zhao?"
Qu Xiaoxiao twisted her body and said softly: "Dr. Zhao is a very, very handsome man. He is the man that I, Qu Xiaoxiao, want to pursue. When I win him, I will show it to you and make you envious."
envious."
"Tch, how handsome is he? Can you care about Zhou Chenshuai from the Guan family?"
Seeing that Qu Xiaoxiao was unwilling to say more, Qiu Yingying suddenly looked disdainful and compared Zhou Chen with her.
Qu Xiaoxiao's tone suddenly stopped, and she snorted unhappily: "I'm telling you, you don't understand either. Dr. Zhao and Zhou Chen are two different types of handsome. Anyway, they are a hundred times more handsome than that white scumbag of yours."
"Ah, Qu Xiaoxiao, I'm going to fight you."
Qiu Yingying roared and rushed towards Qu Xiaoxiao, but Qu Xiaoxiao was already prepared, ran away, opened the door and rushed out.
In the evening, Zhou Guofu and Guan Ju'er were also talking about Guan Ju'er.
"Lao Zhou, what do you think of this kid Xiaoguan?"
Zhou Guofu put down the book and said: "She is a very good little girl. She is a little squeamish, but it is normal. After all, she is a girl who has just graduated. What Xiaochen said is right. She does have a good tutor. Her character and temperament are still unclear.
out, but overall, it feels good.”
Sun Yi also nodded: "I feel good too. This is a child who can live a down-to-earth life. Although she is not as good as Xiao Chen, I think such a girl is more suitable for Xiao Chen. If I marry her in the future, I should have a good life."
Safe."
Zhou Guofu picked up the book again and started reading: "Let's not worry so much. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Our family, Xiaochen, has more ideas in his mind than us. If it's not suitable, do you think he will bring it back?"
Are you coming home?"
Sun Yi snorted dissatisfiedly: "She is my son. I don't care who he cares about. You are the only one with a big heart and don't want to care about anything."
"Why didn't I care?"
"What are you taking care of? I've been taking care of it since I was little, so you just pretend to be a good person."
"Okay, okay, okay, I can't tell you anything. Whatever you say is right."
"Are you impatient with me?"
"When did I become impatient with you? Can you please be reasonable? Even if you are angry, you can't take it out on me."
"How about I take my anger out on you?"
"My son is outside, are you afraid of disturbing him?"
"Humph, my son is more sensible than you. If you know you care about me, you will be angry with me."
"I'm not allowed to read the book anymore. If I'm not allowed to read, I'll go to bed."
"Who didn't let you read the book? It was you who told me first."
"Whenever I, well, it's all my fault, it's all my fault."
…………
Andy returned home after a long journey, lying on the bed, thinking about what happened today.
What makes her happy is that she may see her brother in a few days.
But what surprised her was that the family who adopted her younger brother actually lived in Shanghai, which saved her the trouble of running around.
Since the other party is willing to meet with her, it means that they have room for negotiation.
After Tan Zongming gave her some advice, she also understood that the other party was so guarded against her because he was afraid that she would take away her brother.
She thought about taking her brother back to the United States after finding her brother, but that was not absolute. If her brother could live a good life, she would not force it. As long as she could see him safe and sound, she would be satisfied.
Taking out her phone, she saw a lot of unread messages, most of which were sent to her by Wei Wei.
Since she separated from Wei Wei yesterday, she has been thinking about her brother, so she has no time to think about anything else. She doesn't even look at her phone. Even for Wei Wei, whom she likes more, she has no time to reply to messages.
After reading the information, I found out that Wei Wei had recently gone abroad on a business trip and would not be back for a few days. He also said that he would treat her to dinner when he came back.
In a good mood, she replied a message, then put down her phone, thinking that she would see her brother soon, and fell asleep with a smile on her face.
