CHAPTER 89: CHAPTER 88: MISSING YOU (PART 3)

To welcome Younger Brother Zhou back home, the family decided to go out for a good meal. When they said "the family decided," it really meant that Mrs. Zhou made the call.

In response, Zhou Huaiyi expressed feeling slighted: "Why didn’t you take me out for dinner when I got back???"

Mrs. Zhou: "Isn’t it better to wait for your brother to come back so the whole family can eat together?"

Zhou Huaiyi: "..."

Quite reasonable, Zhou Huaiyi had no comeback.

The restaurant was near the downtown cinema, a high-end beef hotpot place. Zhou Huaiyi and Zhou Youning sat together, with their parents sitting across from them.

While the parents were ordering, Zhou Huaiyi lowered his head to look at his phone. Suddenly, a head with messy curly hair popped into his view, blocking his line of sight.

Zhou Huaiyi remained still, raised a hand to push the forehead back, and said indifferently, "Move aside."

Zhou Youning grinned foolishly and whispered in her ear, "Sis, is Xiang Qichen really going to be my brother-in-law?"

Zhou Huaiyi maintained an expressionless face and snorted lightly, "Once I’ve got him, he will be."

Zhou Youning had a look of admiration: "That’s ambitious, ambitious."

Zhou Huaiyi looked proud, raising her eyebrows without saying a word.

Indeed, Zhou Huaiyi only dared to act haughty and brag a bit in front of her brother. :)

Halfway through the meal, Zhou Huaiyi received a WeChat message from Xiang Qichen.

Seeing the message source, Zhou Huaiyi didn’t even care about grabbing the beef in the pot and immediately wiped her hands to check the message.

[Xiang: Have you eaten?]

[Zhou Luobu: Eating now.]

[Xiang: There’s an endorsement event in Yi City in a few days, could you come? Yang Li has a bit of a cold these days]

Zhou Huaiyi was shocked and stomped excitedly.

The three people eating beside her were dumbfounded and watched.

Zhou Youning leaned over, "What’s up, sis?"

Zhou Huaiyi pushed her away with one hand, composed herself, and covered her phone screen: "Nothing."

Zhou Youning tutted and continued eating.

Zhou Huaiyi quickly opened WeChat to reply: [No problem!]

Good luck came too suddenly, she had to check in on Yang Li and express her gratitude...

[Zhou Luobu: Old Yang, are you sick? Are you okay?]

On the other end of WeChat, Yang Li looked baffled: Sick?

Later, he received a concise message from his boss: [Xiang: Tell her you have a cold]

Yang Li: "..."

Can I curse you, Mua?

[Yang Li: Yeah, didn’t wear enough, caught a cold these past days.]

[Zhou Luobu: Then rest well, I’ll handle the Yi City event for you.]

[Yang Li: Thank you for your hard work:]

[Zhou Luobu: It’s no trouble, no trouble at all, drink more hot water and rest well]

...

So for the second half of the meal, Zhou Huaiyi was humming a tune and finished eating with a cheerful face.

On the way back, in Old Zhou’s car, Zhou Huaiyi joyfully reported: "Dad, I’m going to Yi City in a few days, my internship company has something for me to do."

Old Zhou kept his eyes on the road and casually replied, "What for?"

Mrs. Zhou looked back from the front seat, "Yeah, what for?"

Zhou Youning also turned: "What for?"

Zhou Huaiyi proudly lifted her eyelids and said with a spirited tone, "To meet your son-in-law."

Everyone: "..."
