Zou Yao personally drove over to pick up Tao Le. Xie Baoshu was also in the car, wearing the same suit from the previous blind date. It was obvious that he attached great importance to today's meeting.
"I went back in the name of taking my partner back to show grandpa, so that my second and third uncles wouldn't be able to refuse." Zou Yao said.
Tao Le nodded. She had also heard about the unreasonableness of this matter and could naturally understand why she said that.
"You are my classmate and Xie Baoshu's friend, so just pretend to be the introducer." Tao Le nodded, not minding this identity.
The tool man Xie Baoshu was a little nervous. "Yao Yao, you said I can't embarrass you with my image today, right?"
Zou Yao turned her wonderful eyes and rolled her eyes at him gently: "You are the best no matter what. Grandpa will be very happy to see you."
Xie Baoshu was elated when he heard this, and Tao Le also smiled behind him.
It seems like this pair really get along very well!
The ancestral home of the Zou family is a single-family villa in the western suburbs of Yun City. The courtyard is now full of cars.
At a glance, Tao Le found that these cars were all good cars, and judging from their colorful appearance, it seemed that the owners were not very old.
Zou Yao was a little surprised: "Why are there so many guests today? Even the parking lot is full. Usually there are very few people here."
The three of them got out of the car and entered the villa lobby, only to find that a party was being held here.
Balloons, cakes, flowers, fruits, music, and young men and women with all kinds of strange shapes filled the living room on the first floor.
Seeing the three of them come in, those people just glanced at them, and then continued to play and sing the musical instruments in their hands, turning the living room into a noisy vegetable market.
Zou Yao's face turned ugly. Scanning her eyes around the room, she rushed to a performance stage in the middle and pulled over the girl who was playing the guitar.
This girl's entire face was painted pale gold, her makeup was deep and heavy, her long straight black hair was thrown behind her back, and the clothes she wore were full of exotic style.
The music she just played was also very weird, with a slightly ancient and weird flavor to the tune.
Zou Yao pulled her off the stage: "Zou Yuan, what are you doing here?"
The girl named Zou Yuan was very unhappy. She slapped Zou Yao's hand away: "What are you doing here, cousin? It's so rude to disturb other people's performance!"
"You knew that grandpa was ill in bed, but you invited so many people to have a party downstairs. Is it reasonable to disturb grandpa's rest?" Zou Yao's face was filled with anger.
This daughter of my third uncle's family seemed quite well-behaved at first, but how could I have known she was so ignorant!
"Sister, today is my birthday, what's wrong with having a party? Even if grandpa is still awake, you can't blame me, not to mention he's not here now." Zou Yuan said casually.
Zou Yao was startled: "Grandpa, where are they?"
Zou Yuan glanced at her, then at Xie Baoshu and Tao Le standing aside, and suddenly burst out laughing.
"Cousin, it's my birthday, and you just barged in with someone to accuse me. In the end, you didn't even apologize. You just wanted to get information out of thin air from me?"
Zou Yao suppressed her anger. She looked around and didn't see Xiao Bo, the housekeeper of the villa, so she took out her mobile phone and dialed Xiao Bo's number.
Seeing this, Zou Yuan's face was filled with a sneer: "Don't waste your time. Xiao Bo and Grandpa are in a very safe place together, so you don't need to worry about it at all."
Sure enough, no one answered the phone. Zou Yao's heart became even more confused: "Where did you send grandpa? Tell me quickly, or I will call the police!"
"Cousin, you don't need to scare people. Let's put it this way, grandpa is our elder. Who is not anxious when he gets sick? You are not the only filial son and grandson. My dad and second uncle just sent him for treatment. Who are you looking for to come here and find out?"
What she said was reasonable, and Zou Yao was speechless for a moment.
"Besides, my eldest cousin has been very busy recently. She is dating her boyfriend, so she only comes over every three or five days to see grandpa. How can she compare to my father and the others who wait beside my bed every morning and dusk?"
Although this was true, it was also because her second and third uncles often pushed her back and blocked her. Even when she came, they often used various reasons to prevent her from going up to see her grandfather.
But when these words came out of her cousin's mouth, it was difficult for her to overturn them.
At this time, Tao Le suddenly pulled her aside and whispered a few words.
Although Zou Yao didn't understand what she meant, she still asked according to what she said:
"The second uncle and the third uncle are naturally filial, but they can't stop me from seeing grandpa. I just ask you, when did grandpa be sent away and where did he go? You don't know at all, right?"
Zou Yuan looked at her, and a smile slowly appeared on the corners of his lips.
"Cousin, you don't need to lie to me. Of course I know, and I went to see it myself yesterday. But, why should I tell you?"
"Then what do you have to say?" Zou Yao didn't expect that this cousin would be so difficult to deal with.
"I said it just now. Today is my birthday party, and you guys messed it up. I don't need you to apologize. It's just that we are sisters after all. We always have to get a birthday gift, right?"
Her eyes with heavy eyeshadow turned to the right and landed directly on Xie Baoshu: "This is my future cousin-in-law? The eldest cousin's vision is indeed unique!"
When she said this, the men and women around them also raised their eyes to look at Zou Yao and Xie Baoshu. Many people laughed secretly, leaving Monk Xie Baoshu confused.
Tao Le secretly saw Xie Baoshu's confused look, and was snickering in his heart. In fact, being careless is not a bad thing. At least Xie Baoshu was not harmed at all.
Zou Yuan's voice sounded again: "I know that the eldest cousin is in a hurry, so she must not remember my cousin's birthday, and I don't want to pay attention to those vulgar things."
"But today we are having a concert. As long as my cousin-in-law plays a song for us in public and gets applause from more than half of the people present, then you will pass. I will naturally tell you everything."
Zou Yao felt relieved when she heard this. Who among today’s young people has not mastered one or two musical instruments? She herself can also play piano and guzheng. Xie Baoshu said that he likes music, so he must be good at one or two.
"Can any musical instrument be used?" She thought for a while and asked again.
"Of course, as long as there are some in this scene." Zou Yuan said with a smile: "It's just that my friends are all elegant musicians and will not let go easily. If you want to pass the test, you have to show your true level. "
Zou Yao turned to Xie Baoshu, but suddenly found sweat on his forehead and his face was earthy.
