After saying that, Guan Rong hung up the phone and said to Zuo Jie angrily, “Some people are really interesting! They’re already married, but they still can’t forget Little Huo. When they knew that Little Huo was going to bring his girlfriend home, they immediately ran over to complain to me! Even if I don’t like the person Little Huo found, I won’t like her, right?”
Zuo Jie adjusted his glasses when he heard Guan Rong’s words. “Why did I hear Mei say on the phone that Little Huo’s girlfriend is a divorcee and has a child?”
Guan Rong’s face was cold. “It’s probably so. I don’t know what our son is thinking. He’s a good civil servant, but he has to find an outsider who has a child!”
Zuo Jie sighed when he heard Guan Rong’s words. “Although I don’t know what our son is thinking, when our son brings his girlfriend back tomorrow, you must be polite to the girl. No matter how dissatisfied you are with her, you have to wait for the girl to leave before talking to Little Huo!”
“I know!” Guan Rong sounded a little impatient. “Do I look like an unreasonable person to you?”
Although she looked down on Song Yao for being a divorcee, she was still her son’s girlfriend. She had come all the way to see her and might have brought something. Even if she was an ordinary friend, she should stay for a meal before leaving. It was only right for her to return a gift.
The next morning.
Song Yao changed into a plaid dress she had just bought in the capital and tied her long hair into a simple braid. She looked polite and generous.
Zuo Huo brought Song Yao, who had dressed up, to the capital’s Great Shang City to pick a gift for his parents.
Looking at the dazzling array of goods on the counter, Song Yao touched the remaining 2,000 yuan in her pocket. It was enough to buy gifts.
Zuo Huo had told Song Yao about his parents’ preferences beforehand.
His father liked to read newspapers and collect antiques, calligraphy, and paintings.
Her mother used to be an actress in a cultural troupe and liked to go out and dance.
Song Yao chose a jadeite cabbage of excellent quality and a dress made of peacock feathers for Zuo Huo’s mother. Although it was expensive, the design was beautiful and was very suitable for dancing.
Considering that it was her first time going to the Zuo family’s house, she couldn’t just bring two things over. Song Yao bought a pair of watches for Zuo Huo’s parents and also bought a lot of expensive tea leaves and fruits. She spent nearly 2,000 yuan.
Zuo Huo’s heart ached when he saw this. He took out his wallet and wanted to pay for Song Yao, but Song Yao stopped him.
“How can I let you spend money when I’m meeting your parents for the first time?”
If Zuo Huo’s parents knew about this, they would definitely not agree to let the two of them be together!
Zuo Huo thought for a long time and finally took the gift box from
Song Yao’s hand. “Then I’ll be in charge of carrying your things!”
The two of them chatted and laughed as they left the mall. Zuo Huo drove over today and drove all the way to a luxurious and high-end neighborhood.
Along the way, Song Yao’s hands were so nervous that they were sweating. If not for Zuo Huo holding her hand, she would have been so nervous that she could not breathe.
Zuo Huo comforted her. “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
Song Yao glanced at him. “Will your parents disagree with us?”
Although she didn’t expect Zuo Huo’s biological parents to agree at first, Song Yao also understood that love without her parents’ blessings wouldn’t end well.
However, Zuo Huo did not care what his parents thought. He hugged
Song Yao tightly in his arms. “Don’t worry, so what if they don’t agree?
Anyway, I’m definitely going to marry you!”
“Zuo Huo…” Song Yao’s eyes were red, and her heart skipped a beat.
It had to be said that Zuo Huo’s words gave Song Yao a lot of confidence. She held Zuo Huo’s hand and gritted her teeth as she got into the elevator.
When she pressed the doorbell, it was opened by a middle-aged woman wrapped in a shawl with a noble aura. The woman’s eyebrows were a little similar to Zuo Huo’s. It was obvious that she was Zuo Huo’s mother.
Song Yao went forward and greeted her politely.
Guan Rong also sized Song Yao up.
Not bad, she was quite pretty. No wonder her son liked her.
“Come in.” Guan Rong called Song Yao in and handed her a pair of disposable slippers.
When Song Yao entered the living room, she realized that Zuo Huo’s parents’ house was really big.
The layout of the three-bedroom house added up to at least 200 square meters! The old mahogany sofa made Song Yao feel a little nervous.
This feeling was like entering the dean’s office.
She found a seat and sat down. She saw a middle-aged man with facial features that were 70 to 80% similar to Zuo Huo coming out of the kitchen with a fruit plate..
