Chapter 12: Is It Just Eating?
Hao Ren stared blankly at the old man, while Zhao Jiaxin and the others, who had been shoulder to shoulder with Hao Ren, suddenly let go of him and kept a few steps away from him.
At this moment, there were not a few students coming and going at the entrance of the dormitory area. Some had just finished class and returned, while others were preparing to go home with their backpacks on their backs. They looked at Hao Ren from near and far, each with a curious expression.
Hao Ren felt like he was on the verge of collapse and for a moment, he had no words.
"Please get on the car." Old Sun said respectfully to Hao Ren.
"No way!" Hao Ren's stubborn temper flared up, and he shouted.
What's going on here? Not even a notice, and then this happens. Hao Ren is extremely unhappy in his heart.
"Hao Gongzi, you have already been engaged to Xia Zi, some things, please don't be arbitrary." Old Man Sun continued.
"Engagement?" The people standing far away may not have heard, but Zhao Jiateng and the others clearly heard the word "engagement", and couldn't help but blurt it out.
"Who is Xiao Zi?" Zhou Liren asked suspiciously beside Zhao Jiatian and Cao Ronghua.
But they both just shook their heads in confusion.
"Are you hoping we'll stay here waiting for you?" Old Sun asked gently.
"You're cruel!" Hao Ren saw that more and more people were gathering around, thought for a moment, and quickly got into the car.
The black Lincoln slowly started up and left the dormitory area in a low-key yet high-profile manner under everyone's gaze.
"What's wrong with Hao Ren!" Zhou Liren burst out a sentence as he gazed at the black Lincoln that was slowly disappearing into the distance.
The Lincoln sedan glided smoothly through the city and before long, it arrived in front of a small two-story house.
The simple and unadorned house makes one unable to imagine that this is a wealthy family's home.
The car stopped at the gate, and Sun Lao led Hao Ren down from the car and pressed the doorbell.
"Come in." The door opened and a beautiful young woman wearing an apron appeared, saying softly.
"The person has been brought over, madam. I'll take my leave first. If there's anything else, please give me a call." Old Sun said to the beautiful woman with great respect.
"En, Sun Zhanglao, thank you. Go back and attend to your matters, I see that your 'Zi Guang Jue' has signs of breaking through the 9th layer, so I won't detain you any longer." The beautiful woman said gently.
"Thank you, madam." Old Sun slightly bowed his hands and got into the black Lincoln, which slowly drove away.
Then, the beautiful woman looked at Hao Ren by the door and smiled, "Come in and take a seat."
One smile could conquer the city, and another could conquer the country. Hao Ren gazed at this woman with her hair styled up, elegant as if she were a painting, and his previous unpleasantness suddenly vanished.
"Oh..." He responded with a dull tone and involuntarily stepped into the house.
The house is decorated very delicately and everything is cleaned very cleanly everywhere.
"Haven't had dinner yet?" She asked softly as she led Hao Ren inside.
"Hmm..." Hao Ren replied dully.
Looking at this elegant and beautiful woman, he couldn't get angry at all.
"I'm Zhao Hongyu, Ah Zi's mother. Ah Zi's father has gone to school to pick her up and should be back soon, please find a place to sit first, I'll go cook." She invited Hao Ren to the sofa, smiled at him, and turned into the kitchen.
The so-called "virtuous wife and good mother" is precisely defined as a woman like her. Hao Ren gazed at her back, and suddenly had such an idea.
Hao Ren sat down and carefully examined the house. Although it looked simple from the outside, the interior design and layout were very comfortable and luxurious.
On the left is a white staircase leading to the second floor bedroom, and on the right is a study with dark brown large bookshelves, showing a strong literary atmosphere.
The living room has a soft carpet that is spotless. The medieval-style chandelier above adds to the impression of being in an affluent household.
The door opened and Zhao Guang led Zhao Yanzi in.
Zhao Yanzi was still wearing the same pale blue school uniform, looking fresh and bright. She saw Hao Ren and gritted her teeth in hatred. But she didn't show any particularly unexpected expression, and Hao Ren guessed that his old man must have already told her what happened when he picked her up.
"Here you are." Zhao Guang looked at Hao Ren with a faint gaze, which was a greeting.
"Uncle." Hao Ren hastily stood up and shouted at him. Although he called him that, Hao Ren did not acknowledge his identity as his father-in-law, but felt that when visiting someone's home, the minimum courtesy should still be present.
Looking at Zhao Yanzi pouting on the other side, Hao Ren thought that he was going to be engaged and fall in love with a middle school student, which made him feel a little apprehensive - not to mention their complicated backgrounds.
"It's all right, sit down." Zhao Guang said calmly, turning his head to look at Zhao Yanzi, "I still have some official business to attend to, you two chat."
After finishing speaking, he walked into his study in big strides, picked up some documents and began to review them.
Zhao Yanzi stood on the carpet in the living room, staring at Hao Ren, as if she wanted to swallow him whole.
"I warn you, I didn't agree to marry you. If you make any moves, I'll chop off your fingers!" she said fiercely.
"The problem is I never thought of marrying you either, it was them who dragged me here, what can I do?" Hao Ren sneered, also looking at Zhao Yanzi unfriendly.
But then he thought again, is it necessary for me to be angry with a junior high school girl? He thought again, the current situation is that this little junior high school girl is my fiancée?
"I'm going upstairs to play computer, you sit down yourself." Zhao Yanzi glanced at Hao Ren and threw out such a sentence, walking towards the stairs.
"Ah Zi!" A stern voice came from the study on the right, belonging to Zhao Guang.
Hearing her father's voice, Zhao Yanzi gritted her teeth and finally stopped in her tracks.
She seemed to struggle for a moment, then pouted and glared at Hao Ren with hatred, her footsteps heavy as if filled with lead, stiffly walking towards him.
Bang! She sat down on the sofa next to Hao Ren with a disgruntled look.
"If you don't want to talk, then watch TV." Hao Ren helplessly glanced at her, picked up the remote control, and turned on the TV.
Zhao Yanzi was still glaring at him angrily.
Hao Ren ignored him and continued to adjust the TV channels on his own.
"Happy Wolf Grey?" Hao Ren turned his head to look at her, "This one suits you."
"Get out!" Zhao Yanzi picked up something from the table and was about to hit him.
"Ah Zi!" Another voice came from the study. It was as if Zhao Guang had left a pair of eyes in the living room, and he knew every move Zhao Yanzi made.
Zhao Yan put down the thing in his hand with a sullen expression, but his eyes were still fixed on Hao Ren, "I'm warning you, don't mess with me again!"
Hao Ren smiled helplessly, "You dislike me that much?"
Zhao Yan Zi curled up her lips, "Anyway, it's not like I like him."
"I am too. You look so fierce, and you're not even pretty. Whoever marries you will be unlucky for eight lifetimes." Hao Ren said lightly.
"You!" Zhao Yanzi glared at her with wide eyes.
"Alright, you two stop arguing, after all, you'll be husband and wife in the future." Zhao Hongyu carried a dish out of the kitchen.
"Mom... he bullied me..." Zhao Yanzi said with a pout towards her mother.
"I saw everything, it was you who bullied him." Zhao Hongyu smiled gently and turned back into the kitchen to prepare the second dish.
"Alright, stinky uncle, I'll give you credit, my parents are all protecting you." Seeing her mother enter the kitchen, Zhao Yanzi's ferocious nature reappeared, baring her teeth.
"What's wrong with you, are you dating someone in school?" Hao Ren asked her, thinking about how many middle school students were dating openly these days.
