The next morning, I saw Zhao Yanyan frantically glancing around on her seat when I entered the classroom. Seeing that I had arrived, she quickly said, Liu Lei, this is bad! My dad seems to have found out about the two of us!

Ah? Although I already knew about it, but my heart still jumped. Zhao Junsheng didnt interrogate Zhao Yanyan last night did he? Hopefully this chick didnt say anything about me eating her, Zhao Junsheng did warn me!

What did he say to you? I immediately asked.

Nothing really, its just that he suddenly called me to a room alone and asked me, if there is someone called Liu Lei in my class. I said yes. He told me to ask you to come over tonight, since theres something he has to talk to you about, Zhao Yanyan said.

He didnt ask anything else? I asked worriedly.

No, I found it weird as well, how does he know you? Dont you think he noticed something? Zhao Yanyan was so frantic that her cheeks were bright red.

Its fine, its fine! Hearing that it was just that, I relaxed.

Are you going tonight? Zhao Yanyan asked.

Do you want me to go? I asked her back with a smile.

Ya! Youre still laughing! What time is it, not worried at all, Zhao Yanyan said urgently.

Nervous for what, whats weird about dad-in-law looking at the son-in-law, he might even be really happy and marry you to me, I said without worries.

Ai! Youve got me, why are you like this! Never mind, dont go tonight, Im scared that my dad will beat you up when he gets agitated, Zhao Yanyan shook her head and said.

How could he bare to beat me up, I thought, he is still relying me to help him earn money. Thus I said, Why shouldnt I go, of course Ill go. After all, if its fortune, its not misfortune, if its misfortune, then thats unavoidable.

Ai, then okay. If my dad asks you about us, dont just say what comes to your mind, we have to just stand firm on saying that were good friends! Zhao Yanyan reminded me.

I didnt think that a good student like Zhao Yanyan would also act in collusions with others to ensure that their testimonies tallied with one anothers. I answered her perfunctorily.

After school ended at night, I called home using a phone booth, and told them that I was going to visit a classmates home.

My mom kept on asking if it was a boy or a girl, I lied to her saying that it was Guo Qing. My mom did know Guo Qing, he came over to my home once. Thus she didnt ask anymore, and merely told me to return earlier.

Zhao Yanyan brought me onto a Hongqi car, it looked exactly the same as Audi 100, as if they were twins. I really didnt understand how this car was designed.

Zhao Junshengs home was in the developing area of Songjiang city, due to being busy at work, Zhao Yanyan often stayed in her grandfathers home. The apartments here were mostly duplex. In 1994, only people that are rather important in Songjiang citys business industry could afford to live here.

There was a very large living room once I entered the door, as well as a indoor staircase that can go onto the second floor. This type of luxurious suite is the dream home of many people ten years later.

Seeing that I arrived, Zhao Junsheng walked out of the door smiling, and said to me, Xiao Liu, you came!

Uncle Zhao, you called me over after not seeing me a day, are you trying to bother me, your provisional son-in-law, to death! I smiled.

Youre not serious at all, how would I dare to hand my daughter over to you! Zhao Junsheng clapped my back and said laughingly.

Heh~ It looks like you dont have any good intentions, was there some problem with the input methods introduction to the market? I understood this old fox too well, would he invite me over to visit if there wasnt any problems? As if hes truly trying to deepen relationships.

Hehe! Eat first, eat first, well talk about the rest of the stuff after dinner, Zhao Junsheng said while smiling.

Zhao Yanyan stared dumbfounded at the two of us who were acting all familiar, when she heard me proclaim myself as the provisional son-in-law, it scared her so much that her insides were all jumbled together, however her fathers sentence hand my daughter over to you stunned her. What is going on?

Yanyan stop spacing out, come and eat! Zhao Junsheng called Zhao Yanyan, who was still standing dumbfounded at the door.

Aiya, did Xiao Liu come? a beautiful young woman wearing an apron came out form the kitchen. This must be Zhao Yanyans mother.

Hello, Auntie, I said politely.

Dont be so courteous, call me Bomu. Old Zhao, get Xiao Liu to sit down first, I have a few dishes that arent done in the kitchen! Zhao Yanyans mother turned around and went back into the kitchen.

Do you drink, Xiao Liu? Zhao Junsheng asked.

A little, I didnt refuse, its not good being too fake. I had a surprisingly good alcohol tolerance in my previous life, Zhao Yanyans wedding was purely an accident.

Then one bottle for each of us, Zhao Junsheng handed me a bottle of Songjiang beer. This is our Songjiang citys brand, and is very popular right now. However I knew, the factory will start going downhill form 1996, then endangered because of a few corrupt leaders, and finally bankrupt. The laid off employees would be countless. In truth, the taste of this beer is definitely not worse than the famous Harbin Beer and Xingsanxing Beer, but its fate was decided by its identity as a nationalized business.

No problem, I received the beer, and first poured a cu for Zhao Junsheng, than for myself.

Good! Those that drink beer are real man, and will do great things in the future! Zhao Junsheng praised.

Dad, youre so annoying, how can you encourage him to drink beer? Zhao Yanyan said unsatisfactorily. Although this chick didnt understand the relationship between her father and I, her ability to accept things was rather strong, and most importantly, her father didnt oppose us.

Hehe. A grown girl truly cant be kept at home, shes not even married, and is already speaking on Xiao Lius side! Zhao Junsheng teased.

Dad, what are you saying, I dont care about you anymore! Zhao Yanyans face immediately reddened.

At this moment, Zhao Yanyans mother also carried the dishes over, Old Zhao, what are you talking about with Xiao Liu and them?

Hehe, just talking about our daughter, Xiao Hui, came over quickly, were all waiting for you, Zhao Junsheng said.

Zhao Yanyans mother set the table, and sat down next to Zhao Junsheng, Xiao Liu, no ones an outsider here, treat it as your home, dont be courteous and eat. I dont know if these dishes suit your preferences, so just put up with it.

How can I, Bomus dishes brings up my appetite with a look, I quickly said.

Hehe, you kid, Zhao Yanyans mother laughed.

Mom, leave him alone, Liu Leis going to feel embarrassed, Zhao Yanyan immediately got me a sparerib.

Hehe, mom gave birth to you for nothing, how can your elbow turn to the outside1! Zhao Yanyans mother looked at me as if she meant something else.

Mom, you said it yourself that Liu Lei isnt an outsider, Zhao Yanyan argued with a red face.

1. It means that shes taking care of others better, commonly used to talk about girls treating their boyfriend better than their dad/rest of the family.
