Rebirth: At the beginning, the cool school beauty was caught stealing in the supermarket

Chapter 695 Husband is not home

"Oh, it's your brother's birthday today. Come in, come in, have some cake," the woman greeted him warmly after her initial surprise.

Seeing Zhong Jincheng's wet hair, she quickly turned around and called out, "Luo Luo! Your brother is here. Get him a dry towel!"

"Huh? Which brother?" the boy asked, craning his neck in confusion.

The woman frowned: "Your brother Jincheng!"

The boy casually said "oh oh" twice, still not really remembering anything, but he still obediently ran into the bathroom to get a dry towel. He curiously looked at Zhong Jincheng at the door, and Zhong Jincheng also looked down at him. After looking away, Zhong Jincheng looked at a pair of exquisite men's leather shoes on the shoe cabinet.

This must be a gentle and family-oriented man.

"Come on, wipe it, wipe it, come in, what are you doing standing outside?"

The woman took the towel and immediately offered to dry Zhong Jincheng's hair. Zhong Jincheng accepted it with a somewhat flattered expression, but he couldn't manage a smile. He could only cautiously say, "I can do it myself."

He dried his hair but didn't go inside. The towel was dry and smelled nice, like the scent of the past. As Zhong Jincheng dried his hair, his eyes suddenly reddened, but he held back his grievances and didn't cry.

"I...I came to see you about something. Do you have time now?" Zhong Jincheng asked while wiping his hair.

The woman didn't answer immediately. She wiped her hands on her apron and glanced at the living room, seemingly hesitant. This simple turn made Zhong Jincheng regret coming over.

"what is the matter?"

"My girlfriend is pregnant, and I'm meeting her parents today... I'd like you to go meet them for me and discuss our wedding plans for this summer."

Zhong Jincheng omitted many details, only mentioning the important points: if the woman's attitude remained hesitant, he would immediately turn around and leave.

After a long moment of stunned silence, the woman frowned. She didn't say anything immediately, but quickly nodded heavily: "I'm free! Wait for me a moment, I'll tidy up quickly and be done soon."

She quickly untied her apron and shouted, "Luo Luo! Ran Ran! Mommy's going out for a bit. Be good at home, okay?!"

"I know, I know!"

Zhong Jincheng heard the voice of his sister, whom he had never met before; her voice was very cute.

The woman was tidying up the room with a lot of noise; she was clearly in a hurry. As she passed the doorway, she couldn't help but ask Zhong Jincheng, "Does your dad know?"

Zhong Jincheng stood at the door with his head down: "...I couldn't get in touch with him."

The woman's voice held a hint of anger: "I knew it would be like this."

She seemed to have many more questions she wanted to ask, but she could only hold them back for now.

Zhong Jincheng hung his head, took out his phone from his pocket, wiped the water stains off the screen, and saw that Luo Wei had sent him several more messages urging him to hurry up. Zhong Jincheng quickly replied.

A black Toyota drove out of the residential area. The atmosphere inside the car was slightly quiet, and Zhong Jincheng didn't dare to look at the woman's expression next to him.

"You have a girlfriend?"

"Ah."

Who made the decision to get married?

“I don’t plan to abort the child, and I don’t want her to get pregnant without knowing why, so I’ll have a wedding first.”

Upon hearing this, the woman turned her head and looked over, her expression somewhat surprised. Unmarried pregnancy was a familiar plot, but Zhong Jincheng's choice was much more responsible than his father's back then.

"Xiao Cheng, are you doing this intentionally because you don't want to become like your father..." the woman asked hesitantly.

Zhong Jincheng frowned: "No, my dad is fine. That's what I've always thought. It has nothing to do with what he did in the past." The woman stopped talking, and the atmosphere in the car became quiet again. Zhong Jincheng closed his eyes, feeling a little sad.

The car was parked in the restaurant's parking lot. After getting out of the car, the two walked side by side. Suddenly, Zhong Jincheng heard the woman next to him say, choking back tears, "I'm sorry, Xiaocheng, it's all my parents' fault..."

Zhong Jincheng still didn't want to turn his head to look at her, but his eyes were also red. He quickly wiped his eyes, thinking that at least he could salvage his image in front of Luo Wei's parents.

In the afternoon, Zheng Yifeng and Su Miaomiao arrived at Xia Yiwan Noodles. Su Miaomiao was walking with a limp. Bai Qingxia glanced at her gait a few more times. Lu Yuanqiu was right; the two of them were indeed stumbling in opposite directions.

"Where's Lu Yuanqiu? Aren't you two inseparable?" Su Miaomiao asked teasingly.

"I went to see Reporter Qin." Bai Qingxia, standing behind the counter, replied with a slightly arrogant tone. The rivalry between the couple from last night seemed to have continued until now. It was really funny, even though it was two against two yesterday, only the girls got injured, and both were on their buttocks, and the injuries were even symmetrical...

“Lu Yuanqiu isn’t here today, so Zheng Yifeng and I will bully you all together later~” Su Miaomiao joked as she leaned against the counter.

Bai Qingxia snorted: "I'm not afraid of you."

Su Miaomiao propped her cheek up with her hand: "Really?"

Bai Qingxia ignored her haughtily and turned to get something. Su Miaomiao took the opportunity to slap Bai Qingxia on the left side of her butt where she had fallen, which startled Bai Qingxia so much that her butt bounced slightly.

She turned around and looked at Su Miaomiao's smiling face, feeling both annoyed and helpless.

Su Miaomiao continued teasingly, "It's because your husband isn't home~"

Bai Qingxia wanted to retort, "Your husband is useless even at home," but the word "husband" made her feel too ashamed. She was too embarrassed to make such a joke alone when Lu Yuanqiu wasn't around.

This is indeed the weakness of "husband not being home"—she can't even win an argument.

Bai Qingxia lowered her head to wipe the bowl, swallowing her anger.

Su Miaomiao burst into laughter at her pitiful appearance.

A complete victory today.

"How is the situation now?"

Hearing the sound, the two people at the counter turned around and saw Zheng Yifeng making a phone call. On the other end of the line was Zhong Jincheng's voice: "The situation is normal. Anyway, we've reached an agreement and will hold the wedding during the summer vacation."

Zheng Yifeng noticed that Zhong Jincheng's tone was somewhat suppressed and low, so he asked, "How did it go? You didn't actually do anything, did you?"

Bai Qingxia, curious, went over with Su Miaomiao, and the two sat around the table, listening attentively to the phone call.

Zhong Jincheng: "It's not that bad... I just received a phone call, and I have something to do here. I'll explain in detail when I get back."

Su Miaomiao and Bai Qingxia looked up at the same time.

Su Miaomiao: "What happened?"

Bai Qingxia raised her right hand slightly: "I know a little, but I won't say."

Seeing this, Su Miaomiao rolled up her sleeves: "Xiaxia, I think your other butt is itchy too."

Bai Qingxia quickly escaped behind the counter.

Inside the Toyota, Zhong Jincheng hung up the phone. The call he had just received was from his father's friend, who said that his father had been hungover last night because of his unemployment and had just woken up, but was vomiting. The friend asked Zhong Jincheng to come and pick him up.

“That girl is quite nice,” the mother in the driver’s seat suddenly said.
