Chapter 288: Pure President Zhao
Don't be fooled by Ms. Zhao's usual "yellow" appearance, she is just a white-collar worker.
A newbie who has never even seen a movie.
As for Situ Ming, I haven't dealt with him but I have seen him. He is the largest underground arms dealer abroad, and this title is not for nothing.
The next day
Zhao Zhe got up early, set off firecrackers and opened the door. This is a unique New Year ritual here.
The sound of firecrackers seemed to be the beginning of a new curtain call, and firecrackers began to blast everywhere until daybreak.
Dad Zhao was awakened by the firecrackers.
The whole family got up early to take this opportunity. Zhao Zhe wore the new clothes bought by Li Guilan and knocked on doors one by one to ask for red envelopes.
As soon as he entered the door, he kowtowed and shouted, "Grandma! Happy New Year!" Then he stretched out his hand and drank it all in one breath. It was really casual.
"Sister, get ready first. It will be your turn soon. Hey, grandma, red envelopes, red envelopes."
Mrs. Li saw the monkey kneeling on the ground and couldn't bear to watch, "Hey, I've been making money these past few days."
Zhao Xiaoyue secretly complained in her heart, yes, all her private money was given to this bad boy for various reasons.
Ever since she found out about her situation, grandma has deprived her of her pocket money, especially after she knew that all of Situ Ming's assets belonged to her, she no longer even has any New Year's money.
"Grandma~~oh!"
I got slapped on my butt, "Grandma, you hit me again!"
Old Madam Li sat upright, "Xiao Yue, think it through. As the saying goes, a man who eats someone's food will be soft-hearted and a man who takes someone's money will be grateful. I know you had an adventure, but Xiao Ming's is not yours after all. Marriage is not like what you young people are dating now. To put it simply, marriage is all about the trivialities of life. Hey, you don't need to worry about the trivialities of life now, but when two people are together, as time goes by, it's inevitable that there will be friction, or you may fall in love with someone else.
Marriage requires the joint efforts of both parties to cope with various difficulties and challenges in life.
A good partner can lift your chin, straighten your spine, order you to be strong, and stay by your side to bear the fate together when you are most helpless and weak.
However, when you are in love, everything may be great, but when you stop loving, I’m just afraid that it will be you who will be unable to get over it.
Xiaoyue, do you think Xiaoming would be a suitable marriage partner?"
When Old Mrs. Li found out about the relationship between the two, she was not worried about anything else. She was just afraid that her granddaughter would act on her emotions and be deceived by the man's sweet words.
When she found out that the man had given all his assets to his granddaughter, she was afraid that he might be hiding something. Rich families are always full of trouble.
Zhao Xiaoyue almost cried and felt a little helpless.
"Grandma, don't worry, Xiao Ming is doing well."
Situ Ming leaned against the stone pillar outside and listened quietly to what the old lady said.
The old lady was wrong. Zhao Xiaoyue was far more important than his own life.
He deliberately slowed down his pace and called out, "Grandma, it's time to eat."
Just left.
The old lady was shocked. "Oh my God, he heard it! Tsk tsk, he is really scheming!"
The wrinkles on the old lady's face were jumping exaggeratedly, and she kept pressing her lips and sighing at the other person's scheming.
"Hahaha, grandma, you still know the word scheming! Haha"
"Of course I am." The old lady was so proud that she shook her wrinkled hands. "Back then, I was the wisest person in the area. No one could escape my wise eyes!"
Fine!
"Grandma, I can tell you responsibly that Xiao Ming has been here for a while. I can also tell you responsibly that he is really nice, really!"
Could it be bad?
Chasing from past life to this life!
If he falls in love with someone else in the future, it will be very easy to deal with.
Zhao Xiaoyue raised her fair hands, looked at them again and again, and then thought, it would be better if they were useless!
How simple a thing?
Situ Ming inexplicably felt a chill on his back, and he pulled his clothes tighter. Maybe the weather was colder than in Haishi!
Zhao Zhe sat at the dining table, yawning, waiting for Old Lady Li, his sister, Zhao's father, and Li Guilan to prepare breakfast in the kitchen.
In fact, there is nothing to do. Just steam it in the steamer and serve it on the table.
"Brother-in-law, didn't you call me sister and grandma?"
Situ Ming sat upright and politely, "Call them, they will be here soon."
Seeing Mr. and Mrs. Zhao coming over, he quickly stood up and took the dishes from Mr. Zhao's hand.
He picked up the chopsticks again and distributed them one by one.
Father Zhao smiled and said, "Xiao Ming is really sensible. Come and sit down. Don't restrain yourself. Come to our house, just like your own home."
Zhao Zhe reached out to take the leek stuffing and rolled his eyes. Everyone knew Sima Zhao's intention, but his father was the only one who was confused.
Tsk tsk, if he knew his daughter was kidnapped by the man in front of him... wow! Dad would probably have to stay in bed for two days.
Oh!
I forgot that he had personally given his precious daughter to the other person yesterday and asked the other person to take her with him when he left.
Snapped!
Hey!
Li Guilan slapped the hand holding the chive box and said, "Wait for your grandma!"
Zhao Zhe rubbed his hands, "Mom, your grip is getting stronger and stronger."
As they were talking, the old lady and Zhao Xiaoyue came in, "Ah, the food will get cold if you don't eat it."
Zhao's father and the others quickly got up and let the old lady sit at the main seat. "Mom, since you haven't arrived yet, we're waiting for you to eat together."
Everyone was talking and laughing during the meal. This is how the Zhao family is. There is never a rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. They just do whatever is comfortable for them.
"Xiaoyue, your Grandpa Chen came to see you two years ago, but you weren't there. After dinner, bring some New Year's goods and go to pay New Year's greetings to your Grandpa Chen. See what he wants from you."
The old lady interrupted Zhao Guozhong and said, "By the way, Chen Taiping's Cai Peng seems to have encountered some problems. The performance was good in the past two years, but it was not until last year or the year before last. Can you ask if we can help?"
Zhao Guozhong added: "And your grandfather Chen said that this year's dividend may be delayed for a month, so please don't be surprised."
"Xiaoyue, why would Grandpa Chen give you a share of the profits?" Li Guilan put down her chopsticks, "We don't allow bullying!"
Dang Dang!
Old Lady Li tapped the bowl in front of Li Guilan with her chopsticks. "Do you think what you said sounded like a human being? The idea of the vegetable basin was proposed by Xiaoyue, and the buyer was also contacted. Otherwise, how could Chen Taiping, who is so stingy, be willing to give up 10% or 20% of the profit? He doesn't have the same brain as you."
Cough!
Grandma's scolding was too harsh, Zhao Xiaoyue and Zhao Zhe were a little choked.
Situ Ming lowered his head and ate obediently, pretending not to hear.
Li Guilan stole a glance at her mother and said, "Is it okay if I don't say anything? I am afraid that the child will make mistakes!"
Zhao's father and mother only treated Zhao Xiaoyue as a child and naturally fulfilled their parental responsibilities of educating her.
Grandma Li treats Zhao Xiaoyue as an adult, thinking that times are different and they cannot keep up with the ideas of young people. To use a cool word, the old lady has a strong sense of boundaries.
Dad Zhao immediately tried to smooth things over, commonly known as "smoothing things over"!
"Mom is right. Children also need their own space. Of course, what Guilan said is also reasonable. She is afraid that the child will get into trouble in his own space without knowing it. It's all for the child's sake. Both are right."
Not only does this not offend either side, but it also compliments both sides.
The other three ate in silence, and after finishing their meal, they all left the "battlefield" for various reasons.
