Chapter 179: Meet the Parents
Seeing that she didn't react after listening to it, Zhou Simu hurriedly said: [Sister, don't think about it too much, I just suddenly thought of this and just talked to you casually. 】
Yun Nuo held the phone and smiled.
[How do you feel when you meet your ex-boyfriend in a foreign country? 】
[I don't feel it.] 】
Zhou Simu leaned lazily in front of the bar and typed: [It's just a little unexpected, I don't know what he's doing abroad, it seems that he is participating in some training, and I don't see those little brothers in his club, it won't be disbanded, right?] 】
[Since you are so curious, why didn't you ask him at that time.] 】
[Come on, I looked at it from a distance, and I didn't even look at it. 】
Yun Nuo reminded: [Mu Mu, don't forget your ambitions before going abroad, your ex-boyfriend or something is just a floating cloud, we can't plant a pit twice in a row. 】
[Know, sister, you should understand my character, if you don't really let go, will you gossip about your ex-boyfriend calmly like now? ] 】
Zhou Simul said: [And I am now 'a chaotic flower gradually becoming charming eyes', how can I have spare time to immerse myself in the past. 】
Yun Nuo raised his eyebrows: [What do you mean?] 】
The reply was a photo.
[Campus fraternity, the first one on the left hand side is Chinese-German mixed-race, the one in the middle is the local school grass level, and the most edge is the new Italian exchange student, just take one out, it's not enough to throw Lin Qingye a few streets? ] 】
【. 】
So, that's why someone wants to go abroad?
It's really 'messy' and 'confusing' enough.
Despite this, she had to advise: [Although the handsome guy is good, he still has to be more thoughtful. 】
Immediately after, another photo popped up.
Those were the two bodyguards that Nan Qiao left for her precious daughter before leaving.
[Always follow?] 】
Zhou Simu hehe: [Except for going to the toilet and sleeping, they are basically inseparable. 】
Forehead.
It has to be an aunt.
-
Early the next morning, after eating breakfast and going downstairs, Zhou Chongyue drove her back to the old house.
This time she went up the mountain and looked at the scenery along the way, which made her feel different.
At a fork in the road, Maybach was driving in the other direction, and Yun Nuo tilted his head and said, "I remember coming here last year, and it seems to be on the left." ”
Zhou Chongyue smiled lightly: "I have a good memory, but today the old man is not in the old house, so it is closer to this road." ”
"Does he know we're coming back today?"
"Yes."
Yun Nuo nodded, turned his head and continued to enjoy the scenery.
"Are there any other residents in this area?"
"Nope."
"How big is the floor area of the old house?"
"About 10,000 acres."
?!
In other words, six years ago and last year's Spring Festival, I came twice in total, and I only set foot in the area of the old house.
More than 10,000 acres.
Yun Nuo secretly exclaimed, this should be the kind that was said in ancient times, occupying the mountain as the king.
It's an exaggeration.
The hundred-year-old family is really not a joke.
It takes about 20 minutes to drive, and the last place to get off is outside an independent western-style building.
Hearing the sound of car engines, there were already servants waiting in front of the gate in advance.
"Third master, Miss Yunnuo."
The servant greeted respectfully, and then led the two of them towards the courtyard.
The last time I heard this name was last year at the racecourse.
Yun Nuo gently scratched Zhou Chongyue's palm and asked in a low voice, "When I enter the door later, and see the old man, do I still have to say goodbye?" ”
The man laughed.
He wrapped her hand in his palm and explained: "The Zhou family has many habits inherited from the old era, you just listen to it, don't take it too seriously." ”
The girl smiled and nodded.
After entering the door, I found that they were the last to arrive, and at a glance, not only my aunt and uncle, but even the eldest family.
The formation is too big, Yun Nuo almost doubts, today's day to go back to the old mansion is really just a random decision as Zhou Chongyue said?
He probably didn't want her to be too nervous.
In any case, with my aunt and uncle present, I will imply that I should regard this house as my other home for the time being.
Yun Nuo settled down, and after entering, she came into contact with eyes from different directions all the way, she did not rush to say hello, but finally fixed her gaze on the main seat, the solemn face that was over seventy years old.
The old man seems to be in good spirits, but compared to last year, he is obviously much older.
"Grandpa Zhou." She shouted generously.
The old man didn't speak, nodded calmly, and motioned for the two to sit first.
Zhou Chongyue took her to sit next to her aunt, and then the maid served tea, during which Yun Nuo greeted Zhou Xiling's parents from left to right.
The original favorite daughter-in-law candidate is about to become a younger brother and sister in the blink of an eye, compared to her husband's unmoving expression, Mingshu's mood is slightly complicated.
But no matter what happened before, she still likes the girl in front of her from the bottom of her heart.
If you want to blame, blame the child in Xiling for not being blessed, or blame the third child for being too unique, let Miss Gu family go, but look at Yunnuo, who is a whole round younger than herself.
After sitting down for only a few minutes, the old man only said three words in total, one was to ask Yun Nuo how his grandmother was doing recently, and the other was to ask her how many days she would stay in Linjiang this time. In the last sentence, he directly raised his chin and motioned for Zhou Chongyue to go to the study with him.
At this time, the old man was helped up by the servant and sat in the wheelchair next to him slowly, and Yun Nuo knew that the original recurrence of his condition in May had deteriorated to this point now.
Before leaving, Zhou Chongyue habitually rubbed her hair, with a reassuring look in her eyes, which probably meant that she should not worry and wait for him to come down with peace of mind.
Yun Nuo barely pulled out a relaxed expression.
Where can I relax, the old man was kind to her just now, but it was just because of the face of her grandmother and Yun Baiyuan.
But when I went upstairs after a while, as soon as the door of the study was closed, it was estimated that a Sichuan opera would be staged.
After the old man left, the atmosphere in the living room was obviously eased a lot.
As the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, etiquette and upbringing, Ming Shu did not hang the clouds, and with Nan Qiao's aunt, the three of them chatted and chatted, and the time was not so difficult.
Before I knew it, half an hour had passed, and there was still no movement upstairs.
Yun Nuo began to be impetuous, and some couldn't sit still.
She lowered her voice slightly and asked her aunt, "Can I go up and have a look?" ”
When Nan Qiao heard this, he shook his head disapprovingly, "Wait patiently, the old man's study conversation is generally not disturbed." ”
"I'll just stand outside the door and come down to make sure you're safe."
"Nuonuo, this is not in accordance with the rules."
Nan Qiao's words fell, and Ming Shu, who was sitting next to him, said with a smile: "The most unruly thing has been done by the third child, and now it is better to let go of your hands and feet to fight for it, Nuo Nuo is young, even if there is a verbal collision, the old man will not be too careful." ”
After hearing this, Yun Nuo's eyes lit up slightly.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Chengli on the other side interjected in time, "It's time for the old man to drink medicine, I think it's necessary to go up and remind me." ”
"Alert whom?" Nan Qiao asked.
rampage in, just to call the old man to drink medicine, I'm afraid it won't add fuel to the fire.
Zhou Chengli motioned to his wife to be calm, pointed upstairs, and hinted to her that the housekeeper was guarding outside the door of the study.
Back and forth, Yun Nuo heard it in a fog, but the people inside the Zhou family understood it.
Anyway, let's die.
Just now, what Ming Shu said, Yun Nuo felt very reasonable.
Love is a matter of two people, and you can't let Zhou Chongyue charge into battle every time, she hides behind like a shrinking turtle, which is simply weak.
She got up from the sofa, took a deep breath, looked around, and received the implicit encouragement from everyone in the Zhou family, and became more and more sure in her heart, this trip to Linjiang, it is inevitable to win the old man.
Walking to the corner of the stairs, the mobile phone vibrate, and the aunt sent a WeChat message saying that in fact, the old man eats soft and not hard, and dreams of looking forward to the third child being able to start a family as soon as possible, and things are not as bad as imagined, telling her to adapt to the situation and not to be rash.
After reading the content of the message, Yun Nuo turned off his mobile phone and stood firmly on the steps, and the whole person was enlightened, as if he had opened a new idea for solving the problem.
In front of the door of the study, the butler saw her approaching and smiled at her.
Yun Nuo made an excuse in advance, "A colleague in the department asked me on WeChat just now, saying that Dr. Zhou's mobile phone couldn't get through, and it was estimated that there was something urgent, so I came up to take a look." ”
The nature of Zhou Chongyue's work is special, even if there are many rules in the Zhou family, if there is an emergency, it is inevitable that an exception will always be made.
Seeing that the housekeeper's expression was somewhat relaxed, Yun Nuo was about to make persistent efforts, when suddenly from the study, there was a crisp sound of porcelain breaking.
She breathed sluggishly, and despite the butler's obstruction, she pushed open the door of the study and broke in.
In the room, the father and son sat and stood one by one, and the atmosphere was tense.
Yun Nuo stepped into the door, and the first thing he saw was the teacup broken into several pieces on the ground, and his eyes went up, falling on Zhou Chongyue's shoulders that were soaked in tea and the cloth was dyed dark.
The whole heart immediately lifted.
She stepped forward to check if he was burned, and the old man on the throne spoke, "Watch your step. ”
Zhou Chongyue tilted her head and looked at it, and Yun Nuo's steps followed.
Slowly buried his head, he almost stepped on the fragment of the teacup.
This is the hospitality of the Zhou family.
Even at such a tense moment, there is a fear of hurting the guests.
Yun Nuo's solemn heart paused, bypassed the debris on the floor, walked to Zhou Chongyue's side, took the initiative to hold his hand, looked at the old man in front of him, and shouted seriously: "Dad." ”
??
This sound made the housekeeper who was about to go out stumble under his feet.
The butler turned his head, and his incredible gaze swept over the straight back of the little girl, and then slowly looked at the old man.
At this moment, the head of the Zhou family, who was sitting firmly like a mountain, had a crack on his perennial unsmiling face.
"What did you just call me?" The old man asked suddenly.
However, facing the pair of eyes that have been worn out by the years, but are still in good spirits, Yun Nuo was stunned in place, unable to open his mouth for a long time.
The so-called one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion.
That 'Daddy' really drained her strength.
As a result, Yun Nuo cast an innocent look at the person beside him.
Zhou Chongyue pulled her lips slightly, looked at her father, and said slowly: "Sooner or later, you will have to scream, if you are not satisfied, you will act as if you didn't hear anything just now." ”
This sentence made the old man angry, and he immediately shouted: "It's not a system! ”
Glimpse of Yun Nuo was startled by his angry voice, and in the blink of an eye, he eased his complexion without a trace, turned his head and ordered the housekeeper to ask someone to quickly clean up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.
The butler came back to his senses and hurriedly replied and withdrew.
When his gaze turned to Zhou Chongyue, the old man lowered his face again, "This girl is twelve years younger than you, what kind of identity do you have, I don't know?" Acting recklessly, ignoring the etiquette law, how did the Zhou family come up with such a rebel son as you! ”
Somehow, when she heard the word 'rebel' used on Zhou Chongyue, Yun Nuo felt so strange and disobedient.
And the old man looked like he was training people, but when he spoke, he always glanced at the broken porcelain pieces on the floor, intentionally or unintentionally, for fear that she would accidentally step on it.
The subtleties are enough to see that this family member is not as serious and impersonal as he is exposed.
All kinds of signs undoubtedly gave her confidence.
Yun Nuo took a step forward, and in the old man's somewhat majestic gaze, he said calmly: "This matter is not all his fault, I have an unshirkable responsibility, I took the initiative at the beginning, if you want to train, even me will train together." ”
When the old man heard this, he immediately turned his head and scolded Zhou Chongyue: "If someone takes the initiative, you will agree?" How old is she and how old are you? Without guiding and correcting, it has intensified, and the etiquette and rules that have been taught to you over the years have all been eaten into the dog's stomach, isn't it! ”
Zhou Chongyue didn't refute, only nodded resignedly, "You are right, so this special trip back is just to ask you for your guilt." ”
Yun Nuo was anxious, took a step back and blocked between father and son, and defended Zhou Chongyue: "He didn't agree at the time, he rejected me twice, but I didn't give up and kept pestering." Grandpa Zhou, stop scolding him. ”
The girl's eyes were red, and her voice was not as clear as it had been at first.
Especially when he heard the sentence 'Grandpa Zhou', the old man suddenly became speechless.
has lived a lot of years, and in a few words, she was affected by a little girl back and forth.
One moment Grandpa, one moment Daddy.
Who can stand it.
There was a brief silence in the house, and the housekeeper brought someone upstairs and quickly cleaned the broken porcelain pieces from the floor.
Before the servant left, he made new teacups, added tea, and everything was restored to its original state.
That's it.
The old man didn't want to pay attention to a certain 'rebel' anymore, so he softened his face, pointed to the chair next to him, and motioned to Yun Nuo: "Sit down, girl, let me ask you a few things." ”
Yun Nuo looked at Zhou Chongyue, the head of the house didn't speak, he could only stand.
As soon as she sat down, the old man asked her, "Do your father and your grandmother know about this?" What do they say? ”
"When we first got together, my father knew about it, and they both agreed."
The old man snorted, his face displeased, "I'm the last one to know." ”
Yun Nuo smiled embarrassedly and said obediently: "If I knew you were so amiable, I wouldn't have been too scared to come." ”
"Then why did you come here again this time?"
"Because Zhou Chongyue said that you are the closest and most respected person in this world, whether it is right or wrong, you must bring me to see you."
"That's what he said?"
"Hmm." The girl nodded sincerely and forcefully, and looked at the person concerned, asking him to make a gesture.
Zhou Chongyue was about to speak, but was interrupted by the old man: "The matter has come to this point, since the Yun family's parents have agreed, I have nothing to say." ”
In the past, if this kind of thing happened under his nose, he would never let go no matter what.
But he knows that his body is not as good as day by day, he is getting older, and his last wish is nothing more than to watch the third child become a family, no matter how angry he is, he will never be ruthless at the moment.
Before leaving the study, the old man took a box from the butler's hand, turned around and handed it to Yun Nuo, and asked her to keep it, which was as a greeting gift for the 'father' just now.
and told Zhou Chongyue to find time for the two families to meet, although Yun Nuo is young, but they can't be together without a name, they must first settle the marriage, and when they will get the certificate, they will watch and handle it themselves.
After chatting, when he went out, the old man turned his head slightly sideways in a wheelchair and said softly to Yun Nuo: "When we meet in the future, we can't call grandpa anymore." ”
"I know, but what should I call it?"
The old man didn't speak, turned his head a little aggrievedly, signaled to the housekeeper behind him, and pushed him downstairs to drink medicine.
After the person left, Zhou Chongyue pinched her cheek, smiled and asked, "It seems that in terms of coaxing the old man, Nuo Nuo is better than me?" ”
Yun Nuo hummed arrogantly.
It's a piece of cake.

Treasures, help the author think about it, is there any hole between the third uncle and Nuonuo that hasn't been filled, seeing that it's almost over, leave a message to tell me.
