Jiang Mingzhu suddenly remembered that Jin Rou asked Zhou Li to call her back for dinner yesterday.
Meeting Ming Yue today shouldn't be a coincidence.
Jiang Mingzhu pursed her lips and asked Mingyue, "Where are we going?"
Ming Yue: "Ah, look at my memory, I forgot to tell you that I will go home to eat today."
Ming Yue said the word "go home" very naturally, but Jiang Mingzhu couldn't be as calm as her.
Just when Jiang Mingzhu was about to refuse, she heard Mingyue say, "You were here last time too. Today we have hot pot at home, and there are a lot of people."
Jiang Mingzhu: "It's not very convenient, maybe another day."
She went there that day because Sansan and Zheng Linxu were there, but now she went there alone... It was unclear.
Ming Yue was thoughtful, and she could immediately guess Jiang Mingzhu's concerns even if Jiang Mingzhu didn't say anything in detail.
Ming Yue smiled generously: "Then let me tell the truth. In fact, I found out your itinerary today and made a special trip to pick you up."
Jiang Mingzhu didn't expect her to admit so straightforwardly, and was confused: "Huh?"
Ming Yue: "It's the fourth mother who wants to see you and asked me to help."
Jiang Mingzhu: "..."
Ming Yue: "Don't be nervous, I just want to have a meal with you. They are very supportive of you and the fourth child."
Jiang Mingzhu believed this. When she listened to the phone last night, Jin Rou's attitude was already very clear.
Seeing Jiang Mingzhu's silence, Ming Yue hesitated for a moment and then said, "Actually, she has always wanted to see you alone before, but because of your brother's affairs, she always felt bad. I'm very sorry."
Jiang Mingzhu: "It's okay."
It took her two years to figure out this matter: "It's not her fault."
Ming Yue was surprised when she heard the answer: "Thank you, Ming Zhu."
Jiang Mingzhu: "...It's not because I don't want to see them."
Ming Yue: "Huh? That is?"
Jiang Mingzhu was a little embarrassed, "Zhou Li hasn't agreed to be my boyfriend yet. It's not good for me to go to Zhou's house without knowing anything."
The person who was surprised this time was Ming Yue.
Ming Yue, who had always been calm, almost ran a red light after hearing Jiang Mingzhu say these words.
After stepping on the accelerator and calming down for a few seconds, Mingyue asked in disbelief: "The fourth child didn't agree to you being your boyfriend? You mean... you are chasing him now?"
Jiang Mingzhu nodded.
Ming Yue: "..."
They always thought that Zhou Li was chasing Jiang Mingzhu.
I called Jiang Mingzhu home today because I wanted to "please" her and help Zhou Li increase his points.
Unexpectedly, the reality is actually the other way around.
Surprised, Ming Yue couldn't help but sigh in her heart, Zhou Li has something, and now he has learned to play hard to get.
——
Jiang Mingzhu was finally brought back to the Zhou family by Mingyue.
As soon as I got off the car, I heard the chirping sounds of Xiao Zuo and Xiao You coming from the yard.
After Jiang Mingzhu walked in, Xiao Zuo and Xiao You ran towards her.
But he was soon interrupted by Ming Yue: "Xiao Zuo Xiao You, Sister Mingzhu has other things to do, you can play with yourself."
After saying that, Ming Yue took Jiang Mingzhu to the villa where Zhou Zhanghui and Jin Rou lived.
It wasn't Jiang Mingzhu's first meeting with Zhou Li's parents, but it was indeed her first time to chat alone in this capacity.
And she wasn't very sure how much Zhou Zhanghui and Jin Rou knew about her and Zhou Li's past.
Although it couldn't be said to be nervous, it was somewhat uncomfortable to sit across from the two elders.
Mingyue sent Jiang Mingzhu over and left.
Jin Rou gently and enthusiastically asked Jiang Mingzhu to sit down: "Mingzhu, sit down quickly, there are fruits over there, don't be restrained."
Jiang Mingzhu nodded, "Well, thank you."
Zhou Zhang replied: "I can chat with you casually, don't be nervous."
Afraid that Jiang Mingzhu would be too restrained,
Zhou Zhanghui also lowered his voice to express his attitude to her.
Jin Rou: "Has the fourth child contacted you recently?"
Jiang Mingzhu answered truthfully: "Well, we met yesterday."
Jin Rou: "Has he confessed to you?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "..."
Jin Rou: "I know not. The fourth child has been unwilling to say anything to anyone since he was a child..."
"Auntie." Jiang Mingzhu took her words in a low voice, licked her lips and said, "You are mistaken. I am chasing him now."
"What?" Jin Rou opened her eyes wide in shock.
Even Zhou Zhanghui, who had always been calm next to him, showed an expression of astonishment.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Jin Rou couldn't wait to ask Jiang Mingzhu: "Then you are together now, right? This brat is still hiding it from me..."
"We are not together." Jiang Mingzhu explained to Jin Rou seriously again, "I am chasing him, but he has not agreed yet."
Jin Rou: "...?"
Zhou Zhanghui's brows also frowned tightly.
What is Zhou Li doing again?
On the other hand, Jiang Mingzhu's expression was much calmer than the two of them, and she was even explaining to Zhou Li.
"Because I did cause a lot of harm to him back then. It's normal for him to feel insecure now. I'm not in a hurry. I'll give him time and he will think it over." Jiang Mingzhu said with a smile, "I just want to know that he also You like me, that’s enough.”
Jin Rou felt even more heartbroken after hearing Jiang Mingzhu's considerate attitude, "He even pulled her up."
Zhou Zhanghui also felt a little headache.
Jiang Mingzhu has a pleasant temperament, and Jin Rou has always liked her. There is no barrier between the two of them when they get along.
Especially after knowing that Jiang Mingzhu was "chasing" Zhou Li, Jin Rou's affection for Jiang Mingzhu reached its peak.
Jiang Mingzhu had a very sumptuous dinner at Zhou's house in the evening.
During dinner, Zhou Li's cousin Zhou Ruo also came back.
Jiang Mingzhu only played with Zhou Ruo once before, but they haven't seen him since.
After not seeing each other for two or three years, Zhou Ruo has not changed much from before. He is still capable and beautiful.
Hearing that Jiang Mingzhu was pursuing Zhou Li, Zhou Ruo smiled and patted her shoulder, leaned into her ear and said, "Sleep with him a few more times and see if he can be tough again."
Jiang Mingzhu: "..."
Ming Yue coughed, "San'er, don't teach me everything."
Zhou Ruo: "That's not all adults do, the fourth child is more boring than anyone else."
Just say it's boring.
While Jiang Mingzhu was eating shrimp and listening to the two of them chatting, she heard a rush of footsteps.
When he looked up, he saw that Zhou Li was back.
Zhou Li's expression was serious, and his eyes fell directly on Jiang Mingzhu across the crowd.
Zhou Ruo curled up the corner of his mouth, stood up and vacated the seat next to Jiang Mingzhu.
Seeing that Zhou Li didn't move, she raised her eyebrows: "Why don't you come and sit down? Then I'll continue."
Only then did Zhou Li come over and sit next to Jiang Mingzhu in full view of everyone.
Jiang Mingzhu is usually shameless in front of Zhou Li, but today there are people from the Zhou family sitting at the table, and Zhou Ruo is watching them with a look on his face, so she doesn't know how to deal with them. Zhou Li spoke.
Jiang Mingzhu lowered his head.
After seeing this scene, Jin Rou immediately glared at Zhou Li, "Don't bully Mingzhu."
Zhou Li: "...Did you see me bullying her?"
Jin Rou: "You still say? If you didn't bully her, would she be so scared when she saw you?"
