Zhou's villa.

Dense creepers cover an entire wall of shadows, while the grape trellises in the courtyard are overgrown with vines, and clusters of green pearl-like grapes hang lazily or hang.

Zhou Bing opened the courtyard door, hesitated, and looked back at Guo Yang, his bright eyes and teeth like water.

Guo Yang smiled, took her little hand and walked inside.

But without taking two steps, the tall figure of Zhou Bing's father, Zhou Dingnan, appeared in the field of vision of the two. Zhou Dingnan stood on the marble steps of the inner door with a serious expression, and his gaze was gloomy and contained a bit of anger.

After receiving the news of their daughter's sudden return to China, the couple immediately left their work at hand and rushed home, but they pounced. After waiting restlessly at home for more than an hour, but seeing his daughter come hand in hand with the young man they didn't like to see the most, could Zhou Dingnanyan not be annoyed?

Zhou Bing's heart chuckled, she almost subconsciously walked around and stood in front of Guo Yang, and said softly: "Dad!"

Zhou Dingnan took a deep breath, obviously controlling his emotions. He smiled coldly, and his voice was low: "Xiaoice, you don't feel at ease going to school, what are you doing when you run back to China?"

Zhou Bing said quietly: "Dad, I miss home, and I miss Yangyang, so I came back." ”

The corners of Zhou Dingnan's mouth twitched. Zhou Bing listed homesickness and "thinking of Yangyang" at the same important level, and conveyed her fiery emotions with the behavior of "thinking about going back". As a father, in fact, he understands his daughter's soft personality better than Zhou's mother, since she suddenly returned to China halfway and brought this kid into the door again in a grand manner, it is enough to show her resoluteness.

Zhou Dingnan's majestic gaze focused on Guo Yang's body and was silent.

When Guo Yang came last year, Zhou Dingnan didn't look at him at all, and Zhou Dingnan didn't mean to look down on Guo Yang's background, after all, most of the people in this world are ordinary people and poor people, and if he despises them one by one, he will die of exhaustion sooner or later - it's just that he thinks Guo Yang is not qualified to match his daughter, so he doesn't bother to pay attention to it. Even if Guo Yang left angrily, he didn't pay too much attention to it.

But this time, something is different.

The daughter's undisguised resolute attitude made Zhou Dingnan have to pay attention to it.

Guo Yang smiled, his smile calm and natural. He walked out slowly, took Zhou Bing's little hand, squeezed it, and signaled her not to worry.

Guo Yang raised his head and looked back at Zhou Dingnan, the calmness and honesty in his eyes made Zhou Dingnan a little surprised and suspicious, but in just one year, this kid seems to have changed a lot, and he has more of a general demeanor that does not collapse in front of him, and there is also a kind of momentum that is not angry and self-assured.

Zhou Dingnan looked at Guo Yang aggressively, and the more calm Guo Yang became. What's even more strange is that this kind of calm actually made Zhou Dingnan's heart feel slightly weak.

Guo Yang didn't feel that he had anything to be afraid of. He has seen a lot of local tyrants who are richer, dragging and more domineering than Zhou Dingnan, and the elites who are more powerful than the Zhou family are also frequent guests at his entertainment table. It only took ten years for him to stand at a higher social level than Zhou Dingnan, and at that time, the Zhou family's enterprises gradually fell into disarray due to poor management, and they all lost their qualifications to associate with Guo Yang.

Zhou Dingnan frowned, and said in a deep voice: "You...... What's your last name?"

Guo Yang smiled: "Hello Uncle Zhou, my name is Guo Yang, just call me Xiao Guo." ”

Zhou Dingnan sighed, hesitated slightly, and took the initiative to open the door, because the corner of his eye found that his daughter's eyes were red and her face was flushed, and he knew that if he continued to stalemate like this, it was his own palm that would be hurt.

Zhou Dingnan decided to hand over the problem to his wife Xue Chunlan. Because his attitude is not decisive, even if he agrees with Guo Yang to have a relationship with his daughter, it will be useless if his wife disagrees.

Zhou Dingnan opened the door, did not stop, went straight to the second floor, and went into his study without coming out. And at this time, in fact, Xue Chunlan had been waiting for a long time, and the anger in her heart had brewed to a level that was almost uncontrollable.

Guo Yang followed Zhou Bing into the spacious, bright and luxuriously decorated living room on the first floor of the Zhou family's villa, but on both sides of the entrance passage, he accidentally found that the two cloisonné vases placed looked like antiques, but they were actually two fakes, or high imitations concocted by the assembly line in the industrial era.

As a former newspaper executive and a cultural celebrity in the province, Guo Yang is also an expert in the field of cultural relics identification and antique collection, and has been a judge in the treasure appreciation column of a satellite TV for a long time. He saw through the true face of these two vases at a glance, although the Zhou family is rich, but what the rich collect may not be real antiques.

Such an inadvertent discovery made Guo Yang more calm.

Reincarnated as a human being, reborn again, he is no longer a young and innocent Guo Yang who has nothing, the Zhou family's wealth and so-called prominent status are actually nothing more than this in his eyes. Just like these two fake cloisonné vases, the arrogant mask covered by the faces of the Zhou family and his wife can be easily removed, even kicked and broken.

"Mom!" Zhou Bing carefully observed Xue Chunlan's face and called out.

Xue Chunlan snorted lightly, stood there and pointed upstairs elegantly, and said in a deep voice: "Xiaoice, you go upstairs, I'll talk to him!"

Zhou Bingqiao's face changed, she shook her head, and stood in place without moving.

She didn't dare to let her mother be alone with Guo Yang, with her mother's domineering and contemptuous attitude, once Guo Yang couldn't stand it, if the two wanted to quarrel and break up unhappily, what would she do.

Guo Yang smiled, leaned over again, grabbed Zhou Bing's small hand under Xue Chunlan's indifferent gaze, and said softly: "Xiaoice, listen to Auntie, you go upstairs to change clothes and take a bath, I'll talk to Auntie, don't worry, it's okay!"

Zhou Bing's slightly anxious and worried eyes were projected on Guo Yang's face, the two looked at each other, she hesitated, and went upstairs as she said.

Seeing Zhou Bing's charming back disappear at the end of the stairs, Guo Yang slowly turned his head, his face calm, looking back at Xue Chunlan, who was condescending and contemptuous of him, without fear. In fact, there was no fear or crampedness at all, he was calmer and calmer than ever at the moment, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Guo Yang's posture made Xue Chunlan even more unhappy.

She smiled coldly, and did not have half a polite word, straight to the point, straight to the point: "Guo Yang, you are also a graduate of a famous university, after studying for so many years, you should understand that our two families are not the right household, you and our family Xiaoice do not have the slightest possibility, I advise you to die this heart." ”

"Auntie is right, our two families are indeed not in the right household, I am a poor boy, I have no family background and no background, and being able to get Xiaoice's favor is really a blessing from my previous life." Guo Yang chuckled.

"It's good that you know. However, we are not disgusted with your poor family. It's just that the gap between you is too big, and you are barely together now, and you will suffer for the rest of your life in the future. Xiaoice is now studying in the United States, she basically wants to stay in the United States in the future to develop, rather than break up at that time, it is better to cut the mess quickly and make a break early. Xue Chunlan pursed her lips and slowly sat down on the leather sofa in her living room.

She crossed Erlang's legs, picked up a cup of tea on the small coffee table in her hand, took a sip, and then gently put it down, her movements were gentle and beautiful, without the slightest fireworks.

She is really an elegant intellectual woman, but she is too strong and domineering. Despite her contempt and various negative emotions, the way she conveys and vents her emotions is still so light and graceful, and elegance is revealed from her bones. can interpret the contempt for others so elegantly, probably Xue Chunlan. Guo Yang swept over with the gaze of the two worlds, and felt a little in his heart.

"Auntie, in fact, we broke up last year, as you wish. But I come back today to show that we truly love each other and cannot be separated. Guo Yang clasped his hands to his chest and looked sincerely: "Please auntie give us a chance, and I will try to prove to you that your choice today is not wrong!"

The corners of Xue Chunlan's mouth pursed slightly, and she let out an almost inaudible sneer: "Young man, it's not that I don't give you a chance, but you are destined to have no chance!

"Excuse me, Auntie, why are we not suitable?"

"Inappropriate is inappropriate, don't you understand my words?!"

"You should find a girlfriend who is the right person, leave Xiaoice, I can even introduce you to one." ”

"Heh, what era is it now, a high-level intellectual like my aunt, a university professor, and still obsessed with the concept of the family, which makes me feel a little incredible as a junior......"

"What do you mean?" Xue Chunlan was indeed a very sensitive intellectual, and she smelled a hint of something strange from Guo Yang's understatement, neither humble nor arrogant, but secretly witty.

Guo Yang smiled calmly again: "I heard that the combination of Aunt and Uncle Zhou back then was also not the right household, I don't know how the two elders broke through the resistance of the family background and came together......

Xue Chunlan's charming face immediately turned red, she could no longer insist on her elegant demeanor, Huo Ran got up and raised her hand at Guo Yang and scolded angrily: "You...... Presumptuous!"
