Guo Zhi was not happy with this woman at first, and his words and expressions brought out alienation. Since she left the former owner and started her own business, the pressure on her body has become more and more powerful. After she showed a touch of unhappiness, Liao Chengjun and her wife could not help but restrain themselves under her aura. There was no cold scene at the dinner table, Guo Zhi controlled the atmosphere, and controlled it in a manner that was polite but not close.
They left after lunch and drove to the train station again. Guo Heng also took the time to drive his car to the train station to meet them. A family of four came to the Cao family, and there was no room for a car.
Guo Zhi clearly felt that Liao Yuan was much more affectionate towards the Cao family than his father's family. This can be seen from the small gestures that he saw Cao Yuxuan pat each other on the shoulders and that he leaned over and rubbed Cao Meng's head affectionately.
This Uncle Cao's appearance is considered decent among ordinary people, but he is much worse than Liao Yuan's biological father. It's just that his expression is kind and polite, and it makes people feel unpleasant to look at it. Guo Zhi's first impression of him was quite good.
Guo Zhi didn't know much about him, and the only piece of information was some information that appeared by chance in Liao Yuan's words, roughly that he didn't like his wife's close contact with her ex-husband. Guo Zhi thought that this man was a little cautious before, but after seeing Liao Chengjun's flirtatious energy, he thought it was understandable.
Cao Yuxuan and his appearance are almost carved out of the same mold, but his stature is not as burly as him.
Cao Meng's appearance was obviously much better. She had a slight resemblance to Liao Yuan, and she was already a little girl.
And this family can be said to be the most important person, Liao Yuan's mother. Guo Zhi finds it difficult to evaluate her.
Between the eyebrows of this woman, you can still see the beauty of her youth. Liao Yuan's facial features are very similar to Liao Chengjun, but when standing with her, he is also very similar to her.
It's just that she and Liao Chengjun are clearly the same age, and Liao Chengjun still has a romantic and self-contained charm, but this woman is already old. She has a Sichuan character pattern between her eyebrows, a heavy crow's feet pattern at the corner of her eyes, and two bitter lines around her mouth that seem to have been deeply engraved on her face with a knife.
She spoke very little and was very quiet, but there was always a hint of melancholy between her brows.
As soon as people see her, they subconsciously think... She must not be doing well.
For such people, Guo Zhi has never been able to avoid it.
Only this time, she can only bite the bullet and approach. Who called this Liao Yuan's mother? Since being with Liao Yuan, Guo Zhi has never seen Liao Yuan look at other women with such gentle eyes.
"Hello, Auntie. I'm Guo Zhi." She greeted her respectfully with the attitude of a junior.
The woman gave a soft "um" and responded indifferently: "Hello."
Then, under the gazes of her husband, son, and even stepson, she had to reluctantly add: "I want you to pick me up, please."
The three men breathed a sigh of relief together.
Only Cao Meng could not feel the turbulent undercurrent because of her young age.
Guo Zhi smiled lightly and said politely, "It should be."
She said, looking straight at her.
The woman was looking at her up and down, and when she saw her clear and bright eyes coming straight at her, her momentum weakened, and she closed her eyes softly.
Guo Heng cleverly stepped forward to help her unpack the suitcase, separating his sister's imposing manner over her future mother-in-law.
Before he came, his mother had told him to be "clever". Is he smart?
☆、Chapter 122
Guo Zhi, Liao Yuan and Guo Heng ate dinner with the Cao family of four.
Liao Yuan didn't need to drive anyway, so he ordered a drink and drank a few drinks with the Cao family and his son. Guo Heng sat with him holding a teacup. He is a pleasant-looking, funny-speaking young man, and he quickly chats and laughs with the Cao family and his son in a friendly manner.
The meal was fairly peaceful. Guo Heng chatted with Cao Yuxuan and found that they both majored in computer science and had a common language. It is Cao Meng who has serious questions and answers with Guo Zhi, and it seems that it is not bad to be taught by adults.
The quietest person in the room was probably Liao Yuan's mother. This woman has been eating silently, occasionally serving Cao Meng's dishes gently. It's just that Guo Zhi sometimes glanced over suddenly and found that she was peeking at her. After being discovered, she would look away in a panic.
Guo Zhi did not change his face, chatted with Cao Meng with a smile on his face, and asked her about her studies and daily life. From time to time, would say a few words to the father and son of the Cao family, make a toast with tea instead of wine, and thank them for coming all the way for her and Liao Yuan's affairs.
Liao Yuan's mother followed quietly to eat, toast, and drink tea. It seems that he is very accustomed to the occasions when men speak, and shut up quietly.
When paying the bill, Lao Cao and Liao Yuan also grabbed it, and were suppressed by Liao Yuan and Guo Heng together. The atmosphere is very harmonious.
After paying the order, didn't leave immediately, and the waiter also served a fruit plate. While everyone was eating fruit, Liao Yuan looked at her mother, but she lowered her eyebrows and did not move.
Liao Yuan suppressed the anger in his heart and gave Cao Yuxuan a wink. Cao Yuxuan understood, got up and took the bag his stepmother had put on the sofa in the private room and stuffed it to her: "Aunt Xu."
The woman raised her head and saw her son staring at her, a little scary. She felt a sudden shock in her heart. She didn't dare to go against his intentions. She reached into her bag unwillingly and took out a small paper tote bag.
"It's the first time we met, it's a little interesting." She said a little sullenly, "And the four golds of the engagement, so let's go together."
There was Cao Meng between Guo Zhi and her. Hearing this, he got up from the chair, bowed slightly, took it with both hands, and said, "Thank you auntie, you are too polite."
"Should be." The woman said softly, and there was not much enthusiasm in her words.
Guo Zhi's manners and manners made the father and son of the Cao family admire them, and they felt that she and her brother looked like the kind of tutors who were particularly good. When Liao Yuan married her, they would be considered half relatives of the Cao family in the future, so everyone felt closer.
Liao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and gave Cao Yuxuan a "Thank you!" wink. Cao Yuxuan nodded slightly in response.
He was worried about what she had in mind and gave him a negative response. Although he called her and urged her to buy the four golds that her husband's family should give when the engagement was made, he was still worried and asked Cao Yuxuan to keep an eye on this matter.
The money for these purchases was called by him in advance. And this money, because it was going to be given to Guo Zhi, in order not to let her know, he did not take the account from her, and directly asked the company's finance department to withhold a sum of money for him.
In the Cao family, when it comes to speaking weight, the first is Lao Cao, and then the adult son of the Cao family. With Cao Yuxuan helping to watch, and then talking to his father, the two talked about her together, Liao Yuan's mother could only do it if she didn't want to.
She is not used to and has the ability to defy a man's words.
On the way back to the hotel room, the father and son of the Cao family were still discussing the brothers and sisters of the Guo family.
"It looks more beautiful than the photos on the Internet. I thought it would be very manly, but it turned out to be quite feminine." Cao Yuxuan laughed.
"Well, I run a company all by myself. This girl is amazing." Lao Cao praised. "At first glance, the tutoring is very good, and both sisters and brothers are really good."
Liao Yuan's mother felt even more depressed when she heard this.
Before she came, she was worried that Guo Zhi was a bad woman and seduced her son. Now it seems that she is not a bad woman, but she is a powerful woman. Uneasy to go to work and run a company alone!
She couldn't tell a bad woman or a powerful woman, which one she hated more. She didn't like it anyway.
A woman should be at peace, husband and child. Open any company and show up all day long. Seeing a lot of people, talking and looking at people makes people feel scared.
Not like a girl's house!
She couldn't help but muttered a few words.
The father and son of the Cao family looked at each other, a little helpless.
"You, the children see the right eyes, you can just feel good. And Xiao Guo... It's really good to say, she's just a little older, and it's hard to pick out anything else. I think Xiaoyuan is right. She is also sincere. Don't be blind." Lao Cao said to her.
Cao Yuxuan also advised: "Liao Yuan is very good to her. Liao Yuan told me before that it was not easy to catch Guo Zhi after a lot of effort. Liao Yuan is also such an adult, he knows who is good and who is not. Good. Just listen to my dad, don't worry about it."
There was something he kept in his heart and didn't say it.
When Liao Yuan needs your heart, you don't care about him. He has a successful career now and is living so well, what kind of heart do you have...
Lao Cao said: "That's right, Liao Yuan is so old, he has become a big star, he knows what's wrong. Just put your heart down."
Both her husband and stepson said so, and although she didn't reply, she was even more depressed.
Especially the last sentence her husband said made her feel aggrieved.
Her son is a big star, he makes a lot of money! How can find an old girl!
She was so worried that she couldn't sleep.
On the way back, Liao Yuan was a little silent.
Guo Zhi knew that he was not happy.
It is said that Liao Yuan's mother clearly expressed her dislike for her, and she should be the one who should be unhappy. But because she never had any expectations for her, there was no such thing as disappointment.
Liao Yuan was disappointed, because he obviously expected it.
Guo Zhi pretended to be relaxed and said, "The bag is quite heavy, what is it in?" She was talking about the small paper bag that Liao Yuan's mother gave her.
Of course Liao Yuan knew what was inside, but he was still a little worried. took it out and opened the box and looked at the contents with own eyes.
"The 20,000 yuan is a gift for the first meeting. The four golds are given by the mother-in-law to the daughter-in-law when we got engaged," he said.
"Yo, my mother is sure to be happy. She pays attention to this." Guo Zhi said with a smile.
She even smiled to comfort him...
Liao Yuan lowered his eyes and said softly: "Guo Zhi, my mother is like that, don't be angry..."
Guo Zhi stopped the car at the red light intersection and said nothing, stretched out his hand and held Liao Yuan's hand.
She wasn't angry, she just felt pity for Liao Yuan.
The person he cared about most refused to share the joy and happiness of his marriage. How big is his expectation, how strong is his desire to share happiness with her, how disappointed and sad he is now.
His mother, as he had described to her, was weak, even weak.
She didn't even have the courage to say her dislikes directly. As soon as the men stared at her, she persuaded. She couldn't even look directly at Guo Zhi's eyes for more than two seconds. Guo Zhi hadn't even deliberately pressed her with his eyes, and she couldn't take it anymore.
If she can be like Liao Yuan's stepmother, with a dash of shrewdness, Guo Zhi may be angry with her and call it a fight.
But she is such a soft woman, Guo Zhi couldn't even get angry with her.
I finally understood the tiredness on Liao Yuan's face every time he finished talking to her on the phone.
She has always been vaguely worried that Liao Yuan's liking for her is morbidly persistent. But seeing his cause with her own eyes today, her heart softened completely.
If he is really sick, she thought, it doesn't matter, she will make him his medicine!
In the dim car, Liao Yuan held her hand instead.
The two held each other with five fingers and didn't need to say anything.
She understood his anguish and loss, and he received her comfort and understanding.
I felt that the road was too short, and arrived home too soon.
When she got home, her parents were waiting for her worriedly. Mom dragged her into the room to talk privately.
She threw the small paper bag to her mother: "20,000 yuan, and four gold. I don't know what." Young people in big cities actually have little idea about these things.
