Chapter 299 - 294: Phoenix Man
"Alright, I’ll take a taxi back to the hotel by myself. You two head back to school," Zhang Changfeng declined the younger ones’ offer to escort him and left by taxi on his own.
"What exactly did you say to my dad, for him to change his attitude towards you so drastically all of a sudden?" Zhang Meng asked with great curiosity.
"Nothing much." Ye Qiu smiled lightly, tenderly patted her on the head, and remained tight-lipped about the content of the discussion they had just had. Moreover, for the coming decades, Zhang Meng would never learn what the two most important men in her life actually talked about on this day that caused her father’s attitude towards Ye Qiu to change completely.
"Mengmeng, come with me to D city for the New Year celebration," Ye Qiu said.
"Why so suddenly?" Zhang Meng held her breath, feeling a bit tense. Ye Qiu once mentioned that his hometown was a small mountain village in D city, where only his mother lived, with an older sister who had married off a few years earlier.
There has always been never-ending conflict between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law since ancient times, and Zhang Meng did not know whether her future mother-in-law would like her.
"Your father has agreed that we’ll visit my home this New Year, and we’ll visit your home next New Year. After we get married, if we don’t live together, we’ll alternate between our families every year. If we live in the same city, we’ll celebrate the New Year together," Ye Qiu explained.
"How did you end up talking about such far-off matters?" asked Zhang Meng, still somewhat bewildered. They were both still students at Medical University, aiming for their PhDs—the thought of marriage was still a long way off!
"It’s better to discuss it now and avoid conflicts later on," Ye Qiu said.
"But will your mom like me?" Zhang Meng asked, feeling a bit uneasy.
