However, Mr. Fu remained silent for two or three minutes.
The atmosphere in the living room was originally quite relaxed, but due to Mr. Fu's silence, it gradually became a bit solemn.
Fu Xiaozhi clenched her fists unconsciously and became nervous.
At this moment, Zheng Linxu held her hand.
Fu Xiaozhi was stunned for a moment and turned to look at him.
She didn't expect Zheng Linxu to have physical contact with her in front of the Fu family without hesitation. Several elders of the Fu family were quite critical of him, and seeing him like this might make them even more repulsive.
Fu Xiaozhi subconsciously wanted to take his hand out, but Zheng Linxu held it tighter as if he had expected it.
After Zheng Linxu and Fu Xiaozhi looked at each other, they turned their attention to Mr. Fu.
"Mr. Fu, I'm here today to ask the elders to agree to my marriage to Zhizhi." He didn't even mention love, but directly mentioned marriage.
Zheng Linxu's voice was solemn and serious, but her tone was unhurried, "Zhizhi is a very important person in my life. I will do my best to make her live happily in the future, and I also hope to have a family support."
Because the living room was so quiet, every word he spoke sounded loud and clear.
When he finished the last word, Fu Xiaozhi miraculously felt that his nervousness and anxiety were relieved.
This feeling was amazing, something she had never experienced before.
It was as if there was someone standing in front of her and charging into the battle for her. Even if she encountered difficulties and obstacles, he would use his flesh and blood to block her.
It was a completely different feeling than when she was alone in front of her family before.
After Zheng Linxu's speech, Mr. Fu finally said, "How are you going to make her happy?"
Zheng Lin said: "As long as she likes it, as long as I can afford it."
There was almost no hesitation in his answer, "I will unconditionally support her career and hobbies, and accompany her in everything she wants to do. I will also give priority to respecting her ideas when it comes to family decisions. The rest, that I haven't thought of yet, will be treated as such." She comes first. Of course, if the elders have more comprehensive considerations, they can give me some advice."
After hearing Zheng Lin's words, Fu Muye felt a little strange.
Because of those things in the past, Fu Muye had a lot of opinions about Zheng Linxu, but at this moment, he had to admit that he really had a way of talking and doing things, which was perfect.
Fu Muye turned to look at the old man next to him. Although he had not expressed his position yet, based on his understanding of the old man, this look was basically equivalent to letting go.
Sure enough, not long after this idea came up, I heard Mr. Fu say: "It's useless for us to remind you. What does Liang Liang want? Only she knows. Relationships are a matter between two people. How to maintain this relationship? It's up to you."
Fu Xiaozhi suddenly raised his head and looked at the old man opposite, with surprise in his eyes.
I didn't expect him to let go so quickly.
She had been prepared for a protracted war before she came back today, but she was so happy all of a sudden that she didn't know what to do.
Mr. Fu met Fu Xiaozhi's eyes and smiled: "What, I agreed and you are not satisfied yet?"
After Fu Xiaozhi reacted, she calmed down her expression and coughed before saying, "I didn't expect you to be so straightforward. I thought it would take me a long time to coax you."
Mr. Fu: "With your stubborn temper, I don't agree that it will be useful?"
Fu Xiaozhi snorted: "Then I just follow you?"
As the grandfather and grandson quarreled, the originally tense atmosphere in the living room was relieved a lot, and then Fu Qicheng and Min Ting also spoke.
He was talking to Zheng Lin and asked some relatively common questions, but the atmosphere of the chat was more harmonious than Fu Xiaozhi imagined.
It was so harmonious that Fu Xiaozhi thought they might have met in advance.
But then I thought about it and thought it was impossible. Even if Zheng Linxu had this intention, he wouldn't be able to enter the compound.
Zheng Linxu took the initiative to tell several elders about his future plans to settle in Beicheng, and also made it clear that he would not let Fu Xiaozhi follow him to Hong Kong City or New York.
The Fu family is very satisfied with this.
When taking Zheng Linxu home, the topic of marriage cannot be avoided, but it was Zheng Linxu who brought it up first.
The way he mentioned it was also very direct: "I hope to marry Zhizhi as soon as possible."
"My parents and brother have passed away. They cannot help me propose marriage. I can only come here in person. It is not in compliance with the rules. Please forgive me." Zheng Linxu said this while standing, and finally bowed deeply with apology. .
Min Ting knew about Zheng Linxu's experiences over the years, and couldn't help but feel soft when he heard him mention his family, "Our family is not so particular. This is not your fault. No need to apologize."
"However, regarding marriage, it still depends on the two's opinions." Min Ting looked at Fu Xiaozhi and left the decision in her hands.
This direction is similar to what Fu Xiaozhi thought before.
Fu Xiaozhi took Min Ting's words and said, "I haven't thought about getting married. Let's talk about that later."
After Fu Xiaozhi gave the answer, everyone else in the living room looked at Zheng Linxu.
Zheng Linxu smiled and said: "I also respect Zhizhi's idea and wait for her to consider it."
——
Overall, it was very smooth for Fu Xiaozhi to bring Zheng Linxu back to Fu's house this time.
A group of people chatted in the living room for more than two hours, and then the conversation gradually became more relaxed.
Zheng Linxu is a person who is very good at dealing with people and can keep the conversation going no matter what.
Later during dinner, I had a few drinks with Mr. Fu and Fu Qicheng.
Fu Xiaozhi felt like she was dreaming when she saw that scene.
No, she never dared to dream like this before.
Zheng Linxu was in a good mood and drank a little too much.
After getting in the car, Fu Xiaozhi could still smell the smell of alcohol on him.
In Fu Xiaozhi's impression, Zheng Linxu rarely drank so much. On the one hand, he was relatively restrained, and on the other hand, he had a bad stomach.
After starting the car, Fu Xiaozhi glanced sideways at him, "Is your stomach okay?"
Zheng Linxu smiled and said, "It's okay."
His voice was light and full of pleasure.
Fu Xiaozhi: "It smells like alcohol. It stinks to death."
Zheng Lin said: "If you are in a good mood, drink more."
Although he was disliked by Fu Xiaozhi, he was still smiling: "Fu Lao is willing to drink with me because he is giving me face. How can I not drink?"
Fu Xiaozhi: "It's not like he takes a sip and you take a drink. You don't even drink water like this."
Zheng Lin said: "A few glasses of wine can exchange for their support, it's worth it."
"Did you find it strange?" Fu Xiaozhi suddenly changed the subject, "They agreed so readily today, unlike their usual style, which made me a little confused."
Zheng Linxu: "Isn't this good?"
Fu Xiaozhi: "It's pretty good, but it's not very real."
Zheng Linxu: "So, how have you considered the marriage?"
Fu Xiaozhi: "Why are you in such a hurry? How could anyone talk about getting married after just a few days together?"
Zheng Lin said: "Well, I am an old man, so I am in a hurry."
Fu Xiaozhi: "..."
This is to blame her.
A fussy old man who holds a grudge.
