Chapter 1395: Mr. and Mrs. Geng

In the living room, Old Mrs. Geng held onto May 1st’s hand, smiling joyfully, “This child is really handsome. He’s almost 23, right?”

“22 years old.”

Mr. Geng glared at Zhang Guoqing, “Stop interrupting.” Then he turned back to continue chatting casually with Zhou Xiaozheng while drinking tea.

“22, huh? I already had two kids by then.”

Zhang Guoqing chimed in, “Exactly, times have changed. I had Ping’an at 18. Now it’s great; the younger one is still studying.”

“Here, have a sip, this is Dahongpao.” He handed the teacup to the old lady and took the chance to nudge May 1st away. “Son, tell the old lady about Baobao’s situation abroad.”

His son wasn’t easy prey. Why would a business chase after buyers like that? An old lady holding onto a young man’s hand is really unrefined!

“Baobao is doing well abroad. Her classmates take good care of her and call her Eastern Doll. Her dorm only has two people; one is named Amira, and they’re very close, like sisters.”

May 1st looked at the old lady staring at him with bright eyes, feeling a tingle on his scalp, and desperately recalled Geng Baobao’s daily anecdotes, contemplating quietly.

That damn girl confessed to me before leaving, is she trying to get her elders to pressure me into a statement again? Who taught her this trick? Such a good girl always talking about love and romance.

Annoying!

After dinner, the family cheerfully saw off Mr. and Mrs. Geng.

In the study, May 1st looked at the serious faces of the elders with a headache.

“What’s going on? Did you end up hurting that girl?”

It’s no wonder Zhang Guoqing had these thoughts. With such an impromptu dinner, the conversation implied that May 1st and Liu Yi being the same age and getting married first might not be bad…

If his son hadn’t had some involvement with the Geng family’s girl, would these shrewd old-timers lower themselves like this?

“Dad~”

Zhang Guoqing waved his hand, “Stop acting cute! You better seriously explain what’s going on today? This isn’t a joke; if you really did something, it could lead to a family feud.”

May 1st scratched his head, “Dad, am I the type to mess around? There’s really nothing going on. If I did bully her, wouldn’t I take responsibility?”

Zhang Guoqing: “Heh~”

May 1st touched his face, feeling somewhat embarrassed, “Before returning home, Geng Baobao confessed to me, and my friends were egging me on, so I said before I turn 30, if she can wait, I’ll treat everyone to a wedding banquet.”

Zhou Jiao looked at her son speechlessly, “You’re really silly! Fell into the trap just like that?”

“A trap?” May 1st looked at her in surprise and laughed, “Mom, I’m your son, you should have faith in your youngest.”

Zhou Xiaozheng slightly shook his head at his daughter. For his grandson to utter those words, the seriousness of the situation was clear; there was no need to elaborate further.

He reminded them, but Miao Lishan didn’t understand. She quickly asked, “What if the Geng family’s girl really waits for you until you’re 30?”

May 1st smiled, “Then it’ll be her!”

Zhou Jiao patted his shoulder and was the first to leave.

“Does my mom oppose this?”

May 1st blinked, looking clueless at everyone, “Little Jiu and I really aren’t suitable. I tried; if she’s not a niece, she’s a sister, can’t treat her as a woman.”

Zhang Guoqing laughed and tapped him on the head, “Foolish son! Even I dislike you!” Saying that, he also left. Knowing this earlier, he wouldn’t have stopped the old lady.

The Geng family expressed their stance, he still needs to visit with his wife and drop some hints. Having a clueless foolish son is really a headache as a father!

“Grandpa~”

Zhou Xiaozheng, speechless, pointed at him with his finger, “Even I want to beat you up!”

“Right, this time even Grandma won’t be biased towards you! The words are out, you think this is a joke, and can drag it on? If you had told us earlier, I would have asked the old lady to set a date right away.”

“Grandma, don’t rush, she still needs to stay abroad for a while, let her think it over.”

“Think about what? Can that child continuously like you, chase you to go abroad, insisting on attending the same school, with such determination? Will she let go? If she wasn’t sure, would Mr. Geng and the others visit tonight? You better think it over carefully tonight, is this the case?”

…

Zhang Guoqing, on his way out, saw Zhou Jiao standing in the yard looking up at the sky, sighing, tugging at his heart: These young rascals are truly a debt!

“Brother, come with me to visit the Geng family, see if the old couple is home?”

“Will that be appropriate? How about tomorrow?”

Zhou Jiao held his arm and shook her head, “It’s just to see if the elderly couple is home yet, won’t mention anything else, just sitting together knowing in their hearts.”

“You’re sure it’s the Geng family’s girl?”

Zhou Jiao rolled her eyes at him with a bitter smile, “I can’t understand my own son? For him to make that promise means he’s serious.”

“Wouldn’t you regret Little Jiu not becoming the daughter-in-law? How about making her a goddaughter instead.”

“Don’t! Don’t ever suggest that. If she really becomes a daughter, how will they get along in the future? Besides, Little Jiu wouldn’t accept it.”

Zhang Guoqing patted her comfortingly.

Zhou Jiao looked around and, holding him, whispered while walking, “Do you know what’s most famous in the Island Country?”

“Hehe, of course I know, it’s…”

Zhou Jiao couldn’t help but twist him, “It’s the hot springs. Since our son used that girl as a shield, it indicates there’s already something brewing. There are things I’ve never said. I guess your son isn’t that innocent.”

“What nonsense are you talking! Our May 1st isn’t that kind of person. Otherwise, Little Jiu who interacts with him the most…” Saying this, Zhang Guoqing’s voice gradually trailed off.

Suddenly, he remembered what his younger son said about not being able to see Little Jiu as a woman. Ah! That rascal! What kind of things did that sex education teach?

“Nothing to say now, right? Maybe he hasn’t taken the final step yet. If he really had relations with the Geng family’s girl, I’d break his leg.”

“Hehe… Young people are impulsive, better arrange their engagement early. Last time Liu Yi was hiding in the room with Little Tangtang, and when they came out, Little Tangtang’s mouth was all swollen.”

Zhou Jiao covered her mouth, stifling a laugh, “You’re so improper! Seems your son inherited it from you!”

“That’s normal, facing the woman you love and not figuring it out indicates a real problem. Our kids have always followed the rules, while those they’ve grown up with, some have long experienced the adult thing.”

Zhou Jiao quickly sped up her pace, thinking the conversation was getting out of hand.

“You don’t believe it, do you? I can point out names. These things can’t be hidden from guys like Da Yong. I just listened, hearing him mention several times which family’s son was being unruly.”

“I believe, I believe, is that enough?”

Zhou Jiao pulled at him, “You find time to guide the kids about these issues, don’t let them mess around. I don’t want them jumping the gun, turning it into a scandal.”

“You’re getting more traditional. As long as they’re in love, once she’s pregnant, we’ll hold the wedding, what’s the problem? As long as my son doesn’t eat wild food, nothing matters.”

Zhou Jiao pursed her lips: Indulge them! Don’t cry later!
