Chapter 285 The Stubborn Girl

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the Spring Festival holiday came to an end and countless workers returned to their jobs.

Zhou Hao drove to Linhang with a car full of valuable gifts.

This car of gifts was prepared with the help of almost the entire Zhou family, and none of them were just for show.

The majority of the items are still seafood, but this time they are almost all top-quality goods, and there are even a few rare wild yellow croakers frozen in ice, which are very valuable.

Knowing that Xu Lingyue's grandfather also liked to make wine, the old man took out a bottle of medicinal wine from his collection without hesitation. It was said that the wine was made by soaking centipede and white flower snake with a bunch of precious medicinal materials. He usually treated it as a treasure and would not let others touch it.

Now, when he heard that his precious grandson was going to meet his in-laws, he moved out without saying a word.

As if that wasn't enough, the old man opened the safe and took out a wrapped envelope of dollars.

Well...it is the real ocean, the common currency in China before liberation, also known as the silver dollar.

After the changes of the world, these things have long lost their purchasing power, but they are still very valuable as collectibles. As long as they are passed down through a few generations, they will definitely become "antiques".

This action directly made many people in the family break down, and even Zhou Jianhua felt a little jealous.

When they were young, if any of their brothers and sisters dared to touch these silver coins, they would be beaten. The old man treated them as his lifeblood.

As a result, they just gave it to their future granddaughter-in-law. What a treat...

Hi!
And that narrow-minded aunt Jia Hong was so jealous that her eyes were almost on fire!

She had coveted these silver dollars for a long time, waiting to collect more after the old man passed away to pass on to her family, but she didn't expect to give away a whole stack of them...

That’s so angry!
With so many gifts in the car, Zhou Hao drove very carefully, fearing that something might happen.

The total value of all the gifts in the car now may not be less than this car... If something happens to it, the loss will be extremely heavy.

But when he thought about meeting Xu Lingyue's parents soon, he couldn't help but get a little nervous. After all, they were his future father-in-law and mother-in-law...

He was worried and anxious all the way, and it was almost noon when he drove to the courtyard of Xu Lingyue's grandmother's house.

This is not my first time here, I am familiar with the place.

When I arrived at the place, I saw Xu Lingyue waiting on the roadside. She was wearing a red woolen coat and a white scarf. Standing in the bleak winter weather, she looked even more beautiful.

Maybe because he had waited too long, the tip of his nose was frozen red, which made Zhou Hao feel a little distressed.

"Why did you come so far to wait for me?" Zhou Hao parked the car and got out. "We still have a long way to go."

Xu Lingyue smiled calmly, "I'm afraid you'll get lost."

Although it was a joke, Zhou Hao could tell at a glance that something was wrong with her mood, "What's wrong with you?"

Xu Lingyue was silent for a while, then raised her head and forced a smile, "I'm sorry, my parents didn't come."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hao's heart skipped a beat.

Xu Lingyue's words were very simple and crude, but he basically understood them.

It was obvious that Xu Lingyue's parents didn't like this prospective son-in-law very much and were not interested in meeting him at all.

Come to think of it, it makes sense. After all, under the current circumstances, Xu Lingyue is in a clear advantage in all aspects.

Few parents would be happy to see such a marriage with unfavorable conditions.

Seeing Zhou Hao in a daze, Xu Lingyue couldn't help but look at him a few more times, with obvious nervousness in her eyes.

She was afraid that Zhou Hao would get angry and just leave in anger.

As a result, after Zhou Hao came back to his senses, he just smiled calmly and said, "It's okay. Since they are busy, I'll see you next time."

Hearing this, Xu Lingyue's peach blossom eyes slightly wavered, and then she smiled with relief, "Okay."

"Don't stand there, help me move the things." Zhou Hao turned around and urged, "It's a whole truck of gifts, I guess it will take several trips to move them."

"Just leave it there for now." Xu Lingyue stopped him and said, "Just pick up a couple first, and come back when you have enough."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zhou Hao finally chose a pair of seafood and scallop gift boxes and locked the car door.

As we walked toward the courtyard, many neighbors nearby poked their heads out with smiles on their faces.

"Happy New Year, Hongdou." "Happy New Year, Uncle Liu."

"Hey, Hongdou, who is this guy? Would you like to introduce him to me?"

Zhou Hao was hesitating whether to introduce himself, but Xu Lingyue just held his hand and said lightly: "Friend."

As soon as the words fell, a burst of booing sounded all around.

"Okay, okay, my friend, I believe it!"

"You're a great friend, he's so handsome!"

"Hongdou, remember to let me know when you're holding the banquet!"

"Hey, isn't this that guy, Xiao Wang? Is that right, Wang..."

"Woof you, get out of the way!"

As they walked hand in hand, Zhou Hao couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.

This girl is probably competing with her parents.

You two don't recognize me as your boyfriend, right?

I just announced our relationship right here.

Let’s see who is more stubborn!

Stubborn temper...

But you know what, these hands feel really good, with bones and flesh perfectly proportioned, just like modeled works of art.

Seeing that she was frowning and in a bad mood, Zhou Hao asked softly, "Have you finished preparing for your trip abroad? When are you leaving?"

"Let's finish the Lantern Festival." Xu Lingyue obviously didn't want to talk about this topic, and immediately asked back: "How is the preparation for your studio going?"

"Basically everything is ready, except for the formalities. Sister Hong is helping me with the process." Zhou Hao said with emotion, "This is such a hassle. Fortunately, Sister Hong is experienced and helped me avoid many detours."

Xu Lingyue smiled and said, "There should be a lot of people trying to recruit you recently, right?"

"Yes, there are quite a lot. I don't even dare to use the original phone number. I just cancelled it directly." Zhou Hao said with lingering fear.

Hearing this, Xu Lingyue suddenly glared at him angrily, "Why, are you finally willing to use your spare phone?"

Zhou Hao smiled awkwardly, and it seemed that he still holds a grudge.

"You are really famous now. Even my neighbors are discussing your drama." Xu Lingyue sighed softly, "When I come back after completing my studies, I may be far behind you."

"It's not difficult for you to return to the top." Zhou Hao said confidently: "Even if you don't go out now, I can still send you to that throne."

"I believe it." Xu Lingyue covered her collar which was leaking air. "But I don't want to rely on you completely. At least now, my singing skills can't match the quality of your songs."

Zhou Hao remained silent, thinking that there was no point in saying more.

After all, this girl is different from others and has a strong self-esteem.

"Nana called me yesterday." Xu Lingyue suddenly said something out of the blue.

"What did you say?" Zhou Hao asked in cooperation.

"She wants me to be her lobbyist." Xu Lingyue's eyes were slightly complicated. "She hopes you can seriously consider starring in "The Beginning"."

Zhou Hao couldn't hold it in any longer.

He really has such a ruthless heart that he even comes here to look for lobbyists?
"I don't like acting." Zhou Hao said helplessly: "Comparatively, I prefer to be behind the scenes."

"I know." Xu Lingyue nodded, "But I personally suggest that you take it."

Zhou Hao was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to ask why, a long-lost electronic sound suddenly rang in his mind.

"Ding--"
