BTTS 628




 Chapter 628. Second's girlfriend


What was Second up to now?

He was already working as a secretary in the relevant department under the arrangement of his prospective father-in-law. He had just taken over this position this year. He still didn't understand many things and needed guidance from his prospective father-in-law.

Zhou Xuan's original goal was to be a teacher. But life was like this. Occasional changes will make one's original life go out of track.

Zhou Xuan's path was completely different from the original plan.

Originally Zhou Xuan was an eloquent speaker and got smart brain. Lin Qing He used to worry about whether he would go astray.

Now he entered this place, his dancing attractively in long-sleeved dress ability in his bones was revealed.

There was no need to purposely flatter and please people. Neither overbearingly nor self-effacingly working. Still, everyone had a good impression of him.

Coupled with his prospective father-in-law's, the journey was smooth. Still, there was a lot to get familiar with and a lot to learn.

On this day, it was a day off. He wanted to go home.

Although he was quite used to it here, he was definitely homesick after such a long a long time.

His girlfriend's name was He Mian Mian. Though her name was Mian Mian, she wasn't a meek person. She was someone with a strong personality.

Of course she wasn't the type to bully the weak and look down on people. However, her temperament was a bit arrogant.

But when she was around Zhou Xuan, she was really gentle and soft.

This heiress had meet her counterforce. She was originally someone could take on oil tanks by herself. But when she was by Zhou Xuan's side, she didn't even have the strength to tear open the ice cream packaging bag.

Of course this was an exaggeration. Still, you get the meaning.

Between the two, He Mian Mian was the pursuer. This old saying was well said.

Men chasing women was crossing the mountain, women chasing men was recovering barriers yarn. He Mian Mian was pretty and got a good family background. There was no complaint about her treatment toward Second. When she went home with Second, she was respectful to the elders, Zhou Qing Bai and Lin Qing He.

In fact, the accommodation conditions in the apartment building were quite so-so. Still, she didn't disdain when Zhou Xuan brought her over.

The main reason was because her eyes weren't the kind to randomly look around and wander.

On top of that, Zhou Xuan liked her. If he didn't, he wouldn't have brought her. So the family had no objection.

"Are you going back today?" He Mian Mian came over to look for him early in the morning.

Although Zhou Xuan came here to recognize the family, he hadn't gotten engaged yet. He planned to wait until his eldest brother gets married this year. Then he will come to get engaged. Afterward, get married next year or the year after.

So he currently lived outside by himself. There was an allocated benefit accommodation vacant. He lived here. It was quite spacious.

"It's been a long time since I went back. It's time to go back and have a look." Zhou Xuan replied.

"Then you don't want to go to the movies with me. You are very busy every day. And I didn't bother you. Now you a rare holiday." He Mian Mian looked at him.

"I'll go back. I'll be back in the afternoon and we'll go see it in the evening," Zhou Xuan said.

He Mian Mian also wanted to go shopping or something. But it obvious that he wanted to go back. So she stated, "Then I will go back with you!"

Then go back together. He Mian Mian drove her family's car out. Zhou Xuan spoke, "Eldest Brother don't need it."

"I told Eldest Brother. He said he'll lend it to me for a day." He Mian Mian grinned.

Zhou Xuan didn't say anything. However, he drove the car. The two of them returned.

It was only after coming back did he find out his parents had taken his youngest sister to travel.

"Then we just missed Uncle and Aunt." He Mian Mian said.

"Where's Third?" Zhou Xuan asked.

"Third gone to Hai City. The tea business there has to be managed. He is going to open the shop and train employees." Ma Cheng Min answered.

"Why didn't you go together?" Zhou Xuan said.

"Third said he doesn't need me to go. He can handle it by himself and told me watch this side." Ma Cheng Mmin explained.

"It's good to let him practice." Zhou Xuan nodded.

Dad and Mom had gone to travel. His younger brother had gone to Hai City. Eldest hadn't returned home yet. In the end, Zhou Xuan went over to his grandparents and his god-grandfather's side.

Mother Zhou hadn't met He Mian Mian yet. She didn't come here last year. So she still didn't know about his girlfriend.

So when she saw her grandson bring a girlfriend back, one can't describe how delighted she was. She took He Mian Mian's hand and uttered, "I was wondering where Er Wa went these days. It turned out to be with you. I'm relieved."

"Er...Er Wa?" Stunned, He Mian Mian looked at her boyfriend.

"Ahem, nickname." Zhou Xuan coughed dryly and told.

He Mian Mian was pulled inside by Mother Zhou. Mother Zhou praised her: "What's your name? This hand is really white and tender."

"Grandmother, my name is Mian Mian." He Mian Mian smiled.

"You came from the apartment, right? Come to think of it, we were discourteous. Er Wa's parents took their little girl around to travel. They have to travel every year. So much business at home weren't watch. Once you get married in the future, you have to help," Mother Zhou prattled on.

He Mian Mian had previously heard that Zhou Xuan's younger brother was going to open up business in Hai City. This time she heard the elderly brought it up and wondered: "Is there a lot of business?"

"Didn't you tell Mian Mian?" Mother Zhou looked at her grandson in surprise.

"Our family can't compare to hers," Zhou Xuan said.

He really hadn't mention to He Mian Mian about the situation at home and He Mian Mian didn't ask too much. He didn't think it necessary to excessively talk about it because the situation at home wasn't complicated.

As for the family's business, there were indeed a lot of them. Still, Zhou Xuan didn't think there was anything to say.

So He Mian Mian had always thought that her boyfriend's family conditions were well-off, but not wealthy.

He Mian Mian gave her boyfriend a slight bitter gaze.

"It's incomparable to your eldest brother's." Zhou Xuan honestly remarked.

Her eldest brother opened a factory. A machinery factory. Which was a veritable heavy industry.

His family's were all regarded as light industries. Incomparable.

"Mian Mian's family is that rich?" Mother Zhou looked at He Mian Mian in surprise.

"Richer than ours." Zhou Xuan nodded.

He Mian Mian responded, "Don't listen to his nonsense, Grandmother. My house isn't oozing oil the way he said it."

Mother Zhou laughed: "Have lunch at Grandmother's place. Grandmother will kill a chicken to stew for you as a nourishment."

He Mian Mian glanced at Zhou Xuan. Seeing that he had no objection, she nodded and replied: "Then I'll trouble Grandmother."

"No trouble at all. Grandmother is overjoyed that you're willing to come over for a meal with Er Wa." Mother Zhou grinned.

Eldest grandson dated a graduate nurse. Er Wa dated a heiress. Mother Zhou's heart was in bliss.

"You two sit down first. I will go out and shop for groceries." Mother Zhou stood up and said.

As she spoke, she carried the vegetable basket. She went to the backyard, grabbed a chicken to get someone else to do it, and went out. She had to buy fresh fish to stew and eat.

"What else didn't you tell me?" He Mian Mian stared at Zhou Xuan and accused.

"There are only those businesses at home. Nothing else." Zhou Xuan answered.

    1. I'm pretty sure only the eldest had the hunch of their wealth yet not entirely and the other two just know what's shown. LQH wants to be low key and the husband wants to pass it to youngest girl. ������

    2. They know about the shops as Er Wa and San Wa help manage the accounts, but they have no idea about the private land deeds that their parents have been gobbling up.

    4. Their parents hide it from them. To put it nicely, they don't want their sons to get complacent and rely on the money their parents make. Also, the less people that know, the better it is - being lowkey attracts less trouble. To put it meanly, they're hoarding the vast majority for themselves and their daughter, so keeping it from their sons is them being sneaks.

      Most normal parents will want to pass along their good things to children, especially in their era where it's difficult and rare to make it on your own (even Wang Yuan got a lot of help from his family, though he operates on his own, he got the best education and starting capital from them). In this regard, Qing He and Qing Bai don't really a parent's heart for the Zhou brothers. They mostly care about each other and their daughter. It's not that the brothers aren't getting anything, but it's like considerably less.

      On another note, Mother Zhou is a true country hick. It's SO distasteful to go on and on about money like she does. I know she's bragging to elevate her grandson's status, but his actions will show how great he is, flaunting money is so unnecessarily gaudy. Father Zhou always tells her to speak less, that's the soundest advice in this story, but she ignores her husband with her flapping mouth. Would he harm her?? The less of her we get, the happier I would be. Then she'll stop being a blight on the family.

    5. 600+ chapters and Grandma Zhou still annoys me. Be8ng a country hick myself, we don't do that. At least where I'm from most of the rich here always play it modest. Most of the tune it's just false modesty but false or not, flaunting just turn people off instead of impressing them.
