Chapter 208 : I Listen to Nian Nian

Unconsciously, the two of them bought a lot of things, and they may not all be used in the evening.

Chu Zhaoyang took everything in Gu Nian's hand and held it in both hands.

Gu Nian wanted to help him share some of the burden, but he refused to agree.

The whole body was originally clean and elegant, but now carrying the shopping bags from the supermarket, it suddenly looked a little more like home.

Thinking about buying clothes for Chu Zhaoyang later, Gu Nian regretted that she would have let him drive out if she had known better.

It's too tiring to go shopping like this.

Seeing what she was thinking, Chu Zhaoyang raised the shopping bag in his hand and said, "Time is quite tight, so go back first and come out after dinner."

Gu Nian thought about it and went home with him first.

When Chu Zhaoyang returned to Gu Nian's house with large and small bags, Mu Lanshu came to open the door. When she saw it, she quickly took it.

As she put the things aside and piled them up, she said, "Why are you asking Zhaoyang to carry it, and you don't know how to help him?"

Gu Nian's eyes widened when she heard this.

There was such strong and unreasonable opposition before, but now she was suddenly called "Zhaoyang" so affectionately. This change was too sudden.

After saying that, Mu Lanshu glared at her.

Gu Nian shouted that she was wronged: "He refused to let me mention it."

Mu Lanshu then said to Chu Zhaoyang: "Don't always spoil her."

"No." Chu Zhaoyang said with soft eyes.

"Okay, you and Zhaoyang can go in and sit down." Mu Lanshu chased the people away.

"I will take off my coat and come out to help you in a moment." Gu Nian said.

"No, please stay with him, lest your aunt says something else later, go in and take a closer look." Mu Lanshu instructed.

Gu Nian had completely forgotten about this problem, but she didn't expect that Mu Lanshu would be so thoughtful.

"Mom, you have changed so quickly. You have thought of everything for him." Gu Nian said with a smile.

Mu Lanshu glared at her, and when Gu Nian and Chu Zhaoyang entered the living room, she shook her head and sighed.

Otherwise, what could be done?

Gu Nian and Chu Zhaoyang are obviously inseparable, and she could only be as nice to Chu Zhaoyang as possible now.

On the one hand, there was a desire to atone for sins.

Even if it costed her everything, or even her life.

On the other hand, she also hoped that being nice to Chu Zhaoyang will make him treat Gu Nian better.

Even if the truth could not be hidden in the future, let Chu Zhaoyang know it. She just hope that he could take this into consideration and not get hurt too much.

Just don't implicate his hatred on Gu Nian.

***

During dinner, Old Mr. Mu was happy because of Chu Zhaoyang's appearance, so he took out the Maotai that he had been saving and was reluctant to drink.

Chu Zhaoyang actually doesn't drink liquor very much, but because Old Mr. Mu was happy, Chu Zhaoyang accompanied him.

After finishing a glass of wine, Cui Xinmei refilled herself, stood up, raised the glass and said to Chu Zhaoyang: "Zhaoyang, I am Gu Nian's aunt. From now on, we will be a family. To save face, let's drink."

Because she was Gu Nian's family member, Chu Zhaoyang did not refuse.

He was about to pick up the wine glass, but was stopped by Gu Nian.

"Auntie, Zhaoyang's stomach is not very good and he can't eat too much spicy food." Gu Nian said.

Since Gu Nian also mentioned it to Mu Lanshu, at the dinner table tonight, Mu Lanshu deliberately made the food lighter and did not add any spice.

"Grandpa is happy, Zhaoyang will drink some with him, and he should drink it slowly. Let's not drink this wine." Gu Nian advised softly.

But Cui Xinmei raised her voice: "It's happy ocassion today, so it's okay to drink a little. You can't do this, Gu Nian. You can't restrain a man from drinking when he's outside. It's just our own home. Zhaoyang goes out to socialize. If he take you with him, shouldn't he be allowed to drink too? It's a small cup of wine, and it won't hurt his stomach even if he drinks a little."

Gu Nian was helpless and said, "If my aunt is happy, then I'll help him drink it."

"No." Cui Xinmei immediately stopped her, "I honor Zhaoyang with this wine, so don't let it ruin your day. Zhaoyang, tell me, do you want to drink this wine?"

Chu Zhaoyang said calmly: "I listen to Nian Nian."

"You——" Cui Xinmei wanted to persuade him again.

Old Mr. Mu said: "Okay, let's not bring the same thing as the wine table outside. Do you still want to get Zhaoyang drunk? Tonight is just about drinking comfortably, drinking slowly, everyone sitting down Let's chat."

Cui Xinmei's face darkened, she pursed her lips and sat down, placing the wine glass heavily on the table, causing some of the wine in it to spill out.

"I know, you are all looking down on me. If someone else is toasting today, can Gu Nian stop him? You have looked down on our family from the beginning. Isn't it just because our family is incompetent and poor? Yes, we have the two elders. I borrowed some money. But if I hadn't been forced to do anything, who could have opened this mouth? The feeling of borrowing money is not pleasant!"

As Cui Xinmei spoke, tears fell down.

"No one means this. Don't think about it all day long." Old Mr. Mu put down the wine glass and said with a serious expression.

Originally Gu Nian brought her boyfriend back to be happy, but Cui Xinmei had to mess with it with a sad face.

"Zhaoyang, you don't know the situation in our family. Normally at home, we are reluctant to even eat meat. We just stew vegetables and tofu in a pot and it is a meal. In this day and age, can you imagine?" Cui Xinmei cried and said, "I originally had to support Qishan in school, but now she has finally graduated. I am relieved, but what future can she have in this small town?"

Gu Nian was helpless, but unexpectedly, Cui Xinmei brought up the topic again.

Chu Zhaoyang took Gu Nian's hand, squeezed it, and told her it was okay.

"Xingxing is the number one scholar, Xinmei, don't worry too much. Relax and live a good life." Mu Lanshu said.

"Sister, your family is living a good life. Of course you said it is easy. Gu Nian is a policeman, but she has a public job, an iron rice bowl, and good welfare benefits. Now, she has found a good boyfriend like Zhaoyang. Sometimes, I feel like this God is unfair, why did he treat our family like this?"

"I don't ask for anything else. Dingjie and I have been like this for the rest of our lives. I just hope that Qishan will not be trapped by our family and can be successful." Cui Xin looked at Chu Zhaoyang with a stern look, "Zhaoyang, as for the big boss, can you arrange a position for Qishan in your company? Let her go to City B to see the world. Anyway, her aunt and sister are both in City B and can take care of her."

Chu Zhaoyang said calmly: "It cannot be arranged. Everyone in our company must be admitted based on their true abilities. Even other senior executives cannot arrange people to come in. If I make an exception, it will be difficult to explain to others. If we set a precedent, everyone can bring in their relatives in the future. It will be detrimental to the development of the company. If Mu Qishan wants to come in, I can give her a chance to take the exam. As for whether she can pass the exam, I will not interfere."

"Even your own relatives can't do it? I don't believe it. You, a big boss, can't even arrange this." Cui Xinmei said unhappily.

"No." Chu Zhaoyang refused directly.

"Then you know a lot of people, you can let her join another company." Cui Xinmei added.

"There is no way." Chu Zhaoyang was too lazy to say more to her.

It was not easy to explain so much to her just now.

Gu Nian felt that Chu Zhaoyang had exhausted his quota for speaking to Cui Xinmei.

"What you're saying is that we are all a family. Why don't you even do this little favor? If people know that your girlfriend's uncle's family is so poor, will you lose face?" Cui Xinmei Said unhappily.

"I didn't even let Gu Nian through the back door." Chu Zhaoyang said coldly.

The implication was that if he didn't even bother to help her, how could it be Mu Qishan's turn?

Of course, he was very willing to help Gu Nian go through the back door.

When Gu Nian was at the police station, Chu Zhaoyang always asked Mo Jingsheng to take care of her.

At the beginning, whether it was Xu Chengyi's matter or Gu Nian's almost expulsion, he took action.

However, Gu Nian was not willing to let him help unless it was necessary.

For example, Gu Nian didn't like things like promotion.

What she liked was this job and doing it well according to her own ability, no matter what position she was in.

But Chu Zhaoyang's words had already blocked Cui Xinmei's words.

Cui Xinmei stood up coldly: "I don't feel very well, so I'm going home first."

Everyone's face darkened.

It was the Chinese New Year, and Cui Xinmei kept making herself uncomfortable and ruining the atmosphere.

Mu Dingjie didn't keep her either. After Cui Xinmei left, Mu Dingjie said: "She has such a temper, you should ignore her."

Gradually, the atmosphere slowly returned.

Without Cui Xinmei, the atmosphere at the dinner table was much better.
