"Chunyan." Li Suhua suddenly interrupted Qiao Chunyan's questioning and said gently, "Chunyan, you have to go to work tomorrow, so go home first, otherwise your parents will worry."

She was very dissatisfied with Zhou Bingkun's decision to bring Zheng Juan back without permission, but no matter what, it was a matter for the Zhou family.

Before she could even ask, Qiao Chunyan usurped the question, which naturally displeased her.

Qiao Chunyan opened her mouth, but finally nodded: "Auntie, I'll go back first, otherwise my parents will really worry."

"Chunyan, be careful on your way back! Tell your mother that I'll go talk to her again tomorrow."

"Okay, Auntie, I will definitely pass on your message. Brother Bingkun, I'll head back now."

Zhou Bingkun waved his hand: "Okay, drive carefully."

Qiao Chunyan walked to the door, then turned to Zheng Juan and said, "Zheng Juan, Taiping Hutong isn't far from Guangzipian. Come visit me sometime!"

"Oh, okay," Zheng Juan replied, somewhat at a loss.

As soon as Qiao Chunyan left, the room became quiet, and the atmosphere became strange.

"mom……"

Just as Zhou Bingkun was about to speak, Li Suhua interrupted him: "Kun'er, Mom understands what you mean. Here's what we'll do: you go back to your room first, and Zheng Juan and I will go to the inner room to talk."

"Mom, if you have any questions, you can ask me. I was the one who pursued Zheng Juan first."

Li Suhua snorted in dissatisfaction, "Kun'er, are you not even listening to your mother anymore?"

"No, Mom, I just..."

Halfway through his sentence, Zhou Bingkun noticed Zheng Juan tugging at his clothes, shaking her head at him, and whispering, "I'm fine. Auntie wants to talk to me, so I'll keep her company."

Zhou Bingkun thought about it and felt that if the stalemate continued like this, it wouldn't be good.

So he nodded and said, "Then I'll go inside first. Mom, Zheng Juan is an honest person, please don't make things difficult for her."

"What do you take your mother for? Come inside and don't keep us from talking." Li Suhua glared at Zhou Bingkun.

After Zhou Bingkun entered the room, he saw Li Suhua leading Zheng Juan into the inner room.

Zheng Juan followed cautiously behind, like a wronged young wife.

Li Suhua seemed afraid that Zhou Bingkun would eavesdrop, so she closed the door tightly.

In reality, Zhou Bingkun had no intention of eavesdropping at all.

He didn't care what Li Suhua and Zheng Juan said at all; once he made a decision, Li Suhua couldn't change it with just a few words.

An hour later, it's unclear what Li Suhua and Zheng Juan said, but Zheng Juan was invited to stay for dinner.

After the meal, Zhou Bingkun escorted Zheng Juan back to Taiping Hutong.

On the way back, Zhou Bingkun looked at Zheng Juan and asked, "My mom didn't say anything offensive to you, did she? If she did, don't take it to heart. No matter what she thinks, I've made up my mind about you! Once we reach the legal age, we'll get our marriage certificate."

Zheng Juan was deeply moved upon hearing this. She said softly, "Auntie didn't say anything offensive to me. She just asked about my situation and told me about you."

"anything else?"

"Auntie wants me to leave you!"

"Then you agreed?"

"No, I said I like being with you! As long as you still want me, I want to stay with you forever."

Zhou Bingkun was stunned for a moment after hearing this. After a few seconds, he reached out and pulled Zheng Juan into his arms: "Juan'er, you did the right thing! You are destined to be with me. From now on, no matter what others say, don't listen to them. Just remember, I will always be with you!"

Zheng Juan also put her arm around Zhou Bingkun and said softly, "Yes, I understand."

After safely escorting Zheng Juan home, Zhou Bingkun returned to find that Li Suhua was still awake and was sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) in a daze.

"So you finally decided to come back! I thought you'd forgotten your mother now that you had a woman." Li Suhua's tone was sharp.

Zhou Bingkun chuckled: "Look at what you're saying. Even if I forgot everyone else, I could never forget you! You're my own mother. Can a wife be more important than my own mother?"

Li Suhua wasn't buying Zhou Bingkun's act: "I think you're saying the opposite in front of Zheng Juan! Bingkun, I've noticed you're becoming more and more disobedient! You brought her in without even consulting me. If people see this, who knows what they'll say about our family behind our backs!"

"I don't care what they say!"

Li Suhua looked into Zhou Bingkun's eyes: "You may not care, but your father and I do! Kun'er, tell your mother the truth, are you really sure about Zheng Juan?"

"Yes, Mom, I've made up my mind about her. I won't marry anyone else in this life!"

"Sigh." Li Suhua sighed heavily.

She just talked with Zheng Juan for a long time.

Even though she was still not entirely satisfied with Zheng Juan, she had to admit that Zheng Juan was indeed a very simple and honest girl.

He speaks very politely and calmly; this is something that cannot be faked.

She has a great personality and is also quite good-looking.

From Zheng Juan's description of her family's situation, Li Suhua knew that Zheng Juan was a capable person.

However, it's impossible to judge how diligent they are or whether they can manage the household chores without seeing it firsthand.

But after this conversation, she was no longer as resistant and dissatisfied with Zheng Juan as before; instead, she felt a little sorry for the child.

Li Suhua looked at Zhou Bingkun earnestly and said, "Kun'er, Mom is just an uneducated person and doesn't understand any grand principles. I just feel that now that you're capable, working as an editor at a publishing house, you're a cultured person. If you marry someone like Zheng Juan who's uneducated, I'm worried you'll regret it later."

"Mom, my dad only graduated from junior high school, but you can't even read. After you two got together, did my dad ever regret it?" Zhou Bingkun asked with a smile.

Li Suhua angrily smacked Zhou Bingkun, her face contorted with rage: "You brat, all you do is upset your mother! I'm talking about you, why are you dragging me and your father into this?"

"I was just using an analogy. What I really want to say is that being educated or not is not the standard for whether a marriage will be happy!" Zhou Bingkun explained with a smile. "Zheng Juan may not be educated, but she can manage the household. I am capable, so I can manage external affairs. Working together, we will be happier."

"Alright, now that you're educated, I'm just an uneducated person. I can't argue with you." Li Suhua sighed. "I'm not blind. I can see how much that girl likes you! I can't bring myself to break them up." Zhou Bingkun said happily, "Mom, so you agree to me being with Zheng Juan?"

Seeing Zhou Bingkun so happy, Li Suhua felt a pang of jealousy and sneered, "I never said I agreed. Besides, even if I said I agreed, it wouldn't matter! Write a letter to your father, tell him about your situation, and ask for his opinion. If he agrees, then I won't object."

Zhou Bingkun's smile froze for a moment, but he immediately said, "No problem, I'll write to my dad right now."

Watching Zhou Bingkun hurriedly return to his room, Li Suhua shook her head helplessly: "That child."

She knew her man well; he probably wouldn't agree to Bingkun and Zheng Juan's relationship.

What Li Suhua could think of, Zhou Bingkun could naturally think of as well, but he still decided to write a letter to Zhou Zhigang.

If his dad agrees, just tell his mom, and everyone will be happy.

If his father disagrees, then we'll go with Han Li's idea.

Since his dad won't be back for the next two years anyway, let's settle things first!

The next day, after Zhou Bingkun got home from get off work, he found that after he entered the Guangzi area, many people were pointing at him, giving him strange looks, and whispering about something.

Zhou Bingkun has become accustomed to being the center of attention.

Since he started working at the publishing house, he has become a figure in the film industry and is often discussed.

But today's situation is clearly different; it doesn't seem like envy, but more like a gloating mockery.

Zhou Bingkun pondered for a moment and then thought of a possibility: "Has word spread about my affair with Zheng Juan?"

This question was quickly answered.

When he was almost home, he ran into his childhood friends Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing.

"National Day, catching up, what are you doing here?"

Sun Ganchao chuckled and said, "We came here specifically to find you. We heard that you've gotten involved with a woman from Taiping Hutong?"

Zhou Bingkun frowned and said in an unyielding tone, "Can you even speak properly? What do you mean by 'got together'? We're seriously dating and we're going to get married."

"It's really true?" Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchao both looked surprised.

Sun Ganchao asked urgently, "Kun'er, what's going on? I've never heard you mention this before."

Xiao Guoqing asked with equal curiosity, "Kun'er, weren't you and Qiao Chunyan getting along well? How come you're dating a girl from Taiping Hutong now?"

"Don't talk nonsense! I have no romantic relationship with Qiao Chunyan whatsoever. We're just childhood friends who grew up together! Zheng Juan and I are true love!" Zhou Bingkun quickly declared solemnly. "Ganchao, I see you really like Chunyan!"

Hearing Zhou Bingkun's words, Xiao Guoqing laughed loudly: "Haha, Kun'er, you're right, Ganchao really cares about Chunyan. It's a pity that Chunyan doesn't even look at him!"

Sun Ganchao's feelings for Qiao Chunyan were no secret to his childhood friends.

"Get out." Sun Ganchao pushed Xiao Guoqing aside.

He was naturally unhappy about being teased.

He did like Qiao Chunyan, but Qiao Chunyan didn't like him; she liked Zhou Bingkun.

"Kun'er, is your girlfriend named Zheng Juan?" Sun Ganchao asked.

Zhou Bingkun nodded: "Yes!"

They were all childhood friends, so they didn't hold back when talking to each other.

Sun Ganchao asked directly, "I heard that Zheng Juan's family is very poor, and they're from Taiping Hutong. You're so well-off, why did you decide to date Zheng Juan?"

“Finding a wife isn’t like buying something; a good one isn’t necessarily suitable for you!” Zhou Bingkun said with a smile. “I just like Zheng Juan, and it has nothing to do with her family’s financial situation.”

Xiao Guoqing sighed and said, "Kun'er, you have no idea how much word has spread about us. Many people are laughing at you, saying that you've gone crazy from studying too much."

"I don't care what they say!" Zhou Bingkun said to the two of them with a smile. "When Zheng Juan and I get married, I'll invite you to our wedding banquet."

Sun Ganchao looked on with envy: "Kun'er, you're younger than all of us, yet you're getting married earlier than us. But will your uncle and aunt really agree to let you marry that Zheng Juan?"

Xiao Guoqing interjected, "This is Kun'er's own business. Don't worry about him catching up."

Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchao, who were often together, naturally noticed the changes in Zhou Bingkun during this period.

Zhou Bingkun has gradually become the leader among the three of them.

After chatting with Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchao for a while, Zhou Bingkun went home.

The fact that his affair with Zheng Juan had become public knowledge meant it must be related to Qiao Chunyan.

My own mother would never tell anyone.

Qiao Chunyan probably won't publicize it everywhere.

The problem lies with Qiao Chunyan's mother, Aunt Qiao.

Aunt Qiao and her mother seem to have a good relationship, but they are actually just superficial friends.

In the future videos, the two of them hurt each other quite a bit.

The matter between Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan must have angered Aunt Qiao; it's highly likely that she deliberately spread it.

However, Zhou Bingkun really didn't care about these things; on the contrary, he felt that it was good for the news to get out.

That way everyone will know he has a girlfriend, and no one will come to propose marriage anymore.

Back home, Zhou Bingkun rested by the fire while watching the chat group members discuss the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony.

Under One Person World, Longhu Mountain, Back Mountain.

A huge arena was already filled with strange people who came to watch the excitement.

Today is the third day of the Luotian Grand Ritual.

While watching the match between Feng Xingtong and Wang Bing, Zhang Chulan chatted with Xu San: "Third Brother, how's the preparation going?"

Xu San adjusted his glasses: "Our colleagues from Na Du Tong have already infiltrated the audience. Moreover, the higher-ups are very angry about Quanxing's attack on our courier service, so they've transferred a lot of people from other places."

"The company has also investigated and found that Quanxing has many people under surveillance who have rushed to Longhu Mountain. We originally thought they were just here to join in the fun, but we didn't expect the people of Quanxing to be so bold as to attack the Celestial Master's Mansion."

Zhang Chulan said slowly, "These guys are lunatics. They'll use any means to achieve their goals."

"Zhang Chulan, didn't you say you had a friend coming? Where is he?" Xu Si asked curiously.

Zhang Chulan smiled and pointed to the stands to the side.

Xu San and Xu Si looked over together and saw several unfamiliar faces on the stands.

An old man with snow-white hair and beard, a middle-aged man with a kind face, and a man with a righteous-looking beard.

Zhang Sanfeng, Yue Buqun, and Yan Chixia were invited here today by Zhang Chulan using the interdimensional portal (experience card).

After looking at them, Xu Si asked, "Chu Lan, are these just the three people? Are you sure they're reliable?"

"Of course it's reliable!" Zhang Chulan said with a smile. "Let's go, I'll take you there to say hello!"

The group got up and walked towards Zhang Sanfeng and his companions.
