Chapter 1284 A Disgusting Family Dinner
After Shiqi answered the phone, he went to find Qi Yao, who was on the phone with Mr. Zhuang Sanye.
Seventeen waited outside. After Qi Yao hung up the phone, he knocked on the door and went in. Smiling, he walked towards Qi Yao and said, "My parents want to invite you to dinner at my house. Is Doctor Qi free tonight?"
"Yes, it's my honor!" Qi Yao said with a smile.
Seventeen leaned on Qi Yao's shoulder and whispered, "My parents might be very angry if we act first and ask for your permission later. But don't worry, they won't make things difficult for you with me here."
"You seem to be very familiar with this matter." Qi Yao laughed.
Seventeen spread her hands. "Yeah, that's how it was with my ex-husband. We acted first and asked for permission later. We were secretly married for over a year before my parents found out. I almost got kicked out of the bank at the time..."
Seventeen stuck out her tongue. Well, actually, it was quite embarrassing for her to bring up this matter again. After all, it wasn't something to be proud of, right?
Qi Yao smiled, with an unconcealable bitterness in his eyes.
Seventeen didn't hear Qi Yao's response and looked at him intently. Qi Yao gave her a gentle smile and said, "Dean, is it appropriate for you to stay here during working hours?"
"Okay, Dr. Qi, I'm leaving first." Seventeen turned around and left in a leisurely manner.
Of course, Zhuang Shiyuan and Mu Ning were also invited to dinner in the evening. Mu Ning really had a shadow over Zhuang Shiyuan's family.
During the daytime classes, Zhuang Shiyuan still did not show up at school. He called Mu Xiaonv'er and told her to prepare well after class and go to Zhuang's house for dinner in the evening.
When Mu Xiaoniu heard the call, she was so worried. She was listless in class all day. How could she not go? In fact, her family never liked her at all, okay? This was not a problem. She was thick-skinned anyway, so it didn't matter. But she felt uncomfortable.
"Zhuang Shiyuan..." Mu Ning yelled angrily on the phone. Zhuang Shiyuan coaxed her a few words and hung up. Mu Ning was so angry that she banged her head against the wall.
In the afternoon, Zhuang Shiyuan drove back to the school residence to pick up Mu Ning. Mu Ning was lying on the bed pretending to be dead.
"Mu Ning, change your clothes and go back to eat. Hurry up." Zhuang Shiyuan said.
"But I seem to be sick." Mu Ning clutched the quilt tightly and refused to move. Zhuang Shiyuan said coldly, "Hurry up, get up."
Mu Xiaonv didn't move. Zhuang Shiyuan found her clothes and then pulled Seventeen up. "Change your clothes and come back after dinner. Is it so painful?"
Mu Xiaonv'er shook her head and said, "I don't want to go."
Zhuang Shiyuan's face was unhappy. Mu Xiaonv turned her face away. Zhuang Shiyuan pinched her hard and snorted angrily: "Really not going?"
"Yeah!" Mu Ning nodded.
"Okay, that's it. Since you refuse to get involved in my affairs, your affairs from now on..."
"Zhuang Shiyuan!" Mu Xiaoniu yelled. Zhuang Shiyuan raised an eyebrow at her. Mu Xiaoniu sat aside and pouted, "Threatening me every time, is that fun?"
"This isn't a threat!" Zhuang Shiyuan was helpless. He sat on the edge of the bed, reached out for Mu Ning's hand, and dragged her to his side. "Ning'er, we've reached a consensus. Sooner or later, you'll have to meet my parents, right? You can't hide forever. It's like your family coming to the capital. Do you want me to meet them or not?"
"I don't want it!" Mu Ning refused.
"..." Zhuang Shiyuan was speechless for a long time before he said, "Don't be ridiculous, I'm serious. We will be married in the future. My family will become your family, and your family will be mine. Our two families, which have nothing to do with each other, are maintained by the two of us. Do you understand?"
"But we are just dating and not married. Why do I have to meet your parents?" Miss Mu buried her head in the quilt and stomped her feet in annoyance. She just didn't want to do it.
"Don't you meet each other's parents while you're in a relationship?" Zhuang Shiyuan dragged her back, pinched Mu Xiaonv'er's face, wiped her face hard, and patted her. "Okay, stop talking so much and change your clothes quickly. You don't want my mom to come and invite you in person, do you?"
Mu Xiaonv curled her lips and said, "Don't push me, okay?"
"How do I force you?" Zhuang Shiyuan said helplessly. He dragged her to the ground and threw her clothes. "Five minutes."
After saying that, she waited outside. Mu Xiaonu took her sweet time changing her clothes. It took her more than five minutes, almost twenty minutes before she came out.
However, Zhuang Shiyuan was satisfied that she was still willing to listen to him, and delaying for a dozen minutes was no big deal.
"I don't want to go." Mu Ning was still grumbling with a bitter face even after getting in the car. How could he possibly understand how much torment she was feeling?
"Let's just go out for dinner. You eat anyway, right? We're going for a feast, with delicious food. Our kitchen has some excellent dishes that are superb in taste and you won't find them anywhere else. You have to cherish them. My parents don't like crowds and rarely let us all go home for dinner together, so this opportunity is rare. You don't have to worry about how to behave tonight. It's mainly about my sister and her new brother-in-law..."
Zhuang Shiyuan drove the car steadily while constantly comforting her. However, when Mu Xiaoniu heard Zhuang Shiyuan mention her sister, she was stunned and immediately interrupted Zhuang Shiyuan.
"You have a new brother-in-law? So soon?"
Mu Xiaoniu roughly knew that Zhuang Shiyuan's brother-in-law surnamed "Zhou" had died. She didn't see it in the newspaper, but she heard about it from his friends at that time.
Zhuang Shiyuan was driving, his eyes narrowed, and he seemed a little unhappy with her surprised tone. If it were someone else, Young Master Zhuang would definitely be displeased.
"Yeah." Zhuang Shiyuan responded lightly.
"Was your sister...your brother-in-law really eaten by a lion? I've seen that movie. Did they really get eaten there?" Mu Xiaonv asked again.
It sounded so fantastical that she kept wondering if it was a lie.
Zhuang Shiyuan didn't say anything. Mu Ning didn't expect that the matter was over, but once it was mentioned, everyone would feel curious, so she asked a few more questions.
"How did he get eaten by a lion? Are man-eating lions common over there? Is Africa really like what they show on TV, full of animals? So your brother-in-law and your sister were actually on vacation, right?"
Zhuang Shiyuan interrupted in a deep voice, "Alright, don't mention that person anymore, okay?"
"...Hmm?" Mu turned around and looked at Zhuang Shiyuan seriously. "I'm just asking, was your brother-in-law really eaten by a lion?"
"Yes! Now I know, and then what? What else do you want to ask? Women are gossipy!" Zhuang Shiyuan's face was not so good. In the Zhuang family, the name Zhou Haoyu was not so popular from the beginning to the end, not to mention after the Zhuang and Zhou families had a falling out.
Mu Ning was stunned by Zhuang Shiyuan's yelling and fell silent for a while.
