BTTS 411

 Chapter 411. Sitting on the cold seat

Zhou Kai, who was celebrating the New Year on his own at the military academy and was clueless about his important role, was currently feeling a little homesick.

Since growing up, this was the first time he hadn't spent the New Year at home and was spending it outside. It really felt a little cold and windy.

"What's wrong? Homesick?" One of his dormmates laughed.

"This is the first time I haven't spent the New Year at home." Zhou Kai replied.

"Come. Let's go to Principal's house," His dormmate suggested.

"Not going. Go by yourself." Zhou Kai originally wanted to follow, but for some unknown reason, he shook his head.

"Why don't you want to? Principal told me to take you with me." His dormmate asked.

"Just say that I'm not feeling well." Zhou Kai waved his hand, and then went back to the room.

In fact, he wanted to go over to have a mouthful of hot soup. But Principal's wife was a bit too friendly. He didn't want to go there too much.

"Are you worried that Principal will introduce his daughter to you?" His dormmate laughed.

"Go to the side." Zhou Kai threw a kick over.

"I say, she looks pretty. Although she is a bit unruly, it's not bad. What's with that expression? What's more, she's nineteen. Not Young." His dormmate continued.

Zhou Kai couldn't bother to respond to him.

Lin Qing He, who didn't know her eldest's situation, was still in a happy mood during the New Year.

New year, new atmosphere. Everything was pretty good.

But after having too many good days, there will always be someone restless who jumps out to make trouble. Such as their niece, Xu Sheng Mei.

Lin Qing He really didn't want to see her anymore. She didn't even attend her wedding. Wasn't her attitude obvious enough?

However, Xu Sheng Mei had her way. She came knocking despite others' dislike.

She hadn't noticed that she had such a personality before. This psychological quality was extraordinarily tough. It was no wonder that she dared to do such things behind so many elders' back. How was she an ordinary person?

"Uncle, Aunt. Zhao Jun specially brought this from home. Both bottles are good wine." Xu Sheng Mei smilingly greeted.

"On this icy weather and snowy ground, you should be at home. You are pregnant" Lin Qing He glanced at the two of them, and finally set her eyes on Xu Sheng Mei. It was the New Year, so she didn't want to touch the mold and uttered.

"I felt a little uncomfortable when getting up this morning. Still, these are what we should do. Not anything less." Xu Sheng Mei smiled: "What's more, we should have come here on the second but there were many guests at home. My mother-in-law wants to introduce me to relatives, so I can't find any time."

"Don't strain yourself over this." Lin Qing He responded as she brought them over to the sofa. She asked, "Sheng Mei can't drink tea. Go and make a cup of honey water for your sister Sheng Mei. What kind of tea do you drink Zhao Jun?"

"Green tea." Seeing her nice attitude, Zhao Jun was slightly pleased and replied.

Then he took out the cigarette and motioned it to Zhou Qing Bai. Zhou Qing Bai said, "I don't smoke."

"My uncle told you last time that he doesn't smoke." Xu Sheng Mei chuckled.

"Then I forgot." Zhao Jun said. He wanted to light one for himself.

Lin Qing He said, "You can't smoke inside." She turned to Xu Sheng Mei: "Moreover, Sheng Mei is still pregnant. Letting her smoke second-hand smoke isn't good for the foetus. You should pay more attention during normal days."

Zhao Jun became irritated. His parents didn't preach to him like that. Still, he couldn't say anything and put the cigarette and the match aside.

"Is Uncle's dumpling shop business doing okay?" Zhao Jun asked.

"So-so." Zhou Qing Bai answered concisely.

Lin Qing He didn't speak either. After Zhou Qing Bai brew the tea, she urged, "Drink tea."

From the start, they didn't like Zhao Jun. Since they were here, they'll entertain him. But if they want them to be friendly, not happening. Otherwise, the other party might think they were trying to flatter him.

"This tea is good." Zhao Jun drank the tea and uttered.

"This tea was bought from the south. It's the best green tea. If you like it, I will give you two packets later. We don't have any at our place." Lin Qing He responded.

Zhao Jun grinned and said, "That can't do."

"No need to be reserved." Lin Qing He said. Turning to Xu Sheng Mei, she chattered a bit. Xu Sheng Mei responded to them one by one with a very well-behaved expression on her face.

After sitting for a while, everyone watched TV. Basically, there was nothing to say.

Probably noticing that it was time to leave, Xu Sheng Mei said stiffly: "We haven't even gone to see grandpa and grandma. Uncle, Aunt, we will head over there now."

"Go. Be careful when going down the stairs. Also when walking. It's snowy, you shouldn't have come out." Lin Qing He said.

After sending them out the door, she ran into Zhang Mei Lian who had just returned.

"Auntie." Zhang Mei Lian greeted Lin Qing He and then looked at Zhao Jun and Xu Sheng Mei. Her eyes lingered on Zhao Jun before returning home.

When Zhao Jun brought Xu Sheng Mei downstairs, he was still full of complaints.

"What's your uncle and your aunt's attitude? I came a long way to  be a guest and they treat me like that?" Zhao Jun muttered angrily.

Although he didn't desire it, he found it too much! Not even letting him stay for a meal.

"Go to my grandparent's side first." Xu Sheng Mei was also irritated. She didn't expect that during the New Year, they didn't even let them stay for a meal. How can they not give her face?

Zhao Family was very rich. Now that she has entered the Zhao Family, having or not having a relative like Zhou Family was the same. She was considering their previous connection and she came to have a look.

"I'm telling you. This time is the last I'm coming here. Don't call me in the future. Simply shameful!" Zhao Jun felt he lost face.

Those of his friends wanted to invite him to dinner and may not necessarily agree to it. Now he willingly descended from his high chair to come here, he actually received a cold seat. Thinking about it, he felt enraged!

The couple dropped by Father Zhou and Mother Zhou's place with their stomach full of fire.

Zhou Qing Bai and Lin Qing He didn't treat it seriously.

Zhou Qing Bai was a friendly person. He usually didn't give anyone an attitude. But he really didn't like this nephew-in-law, so he naturally put up a cold front.

As for Lin Qing He. With Wang Yuan as a comparison, Zhao Jun was simply like dust.

Putting aside that he was vain and arrogant, he didn't have any good quality. With one glance at that personality, one can tell he was a bad apple.

For this niece, Xu Sheng Mei. She had already done her best. As for the rest, she can count on her own blessing. She won't have anything to do with her anymore.

This kind of crop-up happened once was enough. There can never be a second time.

But after such an encounter, these two should see clearly her and her family's Qing Bai's stance and won't come again. It was awkward for everyone to sit together and have no conversation. After all, they really didn't want to see her.
