Chapter 378: Zhou Mo Looked Haggard
Zhou Lin was driving as he observed Yun Xi’s expression. When he saw that her face was flushed and she looked very shy, the corners of his mouth curled up into a faint smile.
The little girl’s skin was thin and it was not suitable for her to tell the old man about what had happened last night, so he could only hide this matter for the time being.
Although it was true that nothing had happened between the two of them, no, to be precise, half of the matter should have happened, it was enough to shock the Old Master.
The car finally arrived in front of the tombstone. After the car stopped, Yun Xi and Zhou Lin got out of the car and walked to the Old Master’s side.
The Old Master was dressed in a military uniform that had been washed and faded, and he looked very energetic.
!!
After the few of them paid their respects to their ancestors, they once again returned to the car. The Old Master was afraid that his daughter-in-law would be cold. This time, they did not stay there for a long time as usual.
“Go to the market now. We’ll listen to Yun Xi for the New Year’s dinner this year. What do you like to eat? We’ll get the housekeeper to do something tonight.”
The Old Master doted on Yun Xi especially.
Yun Xi and Yun Lian were twin sisters from the same mother. When they married into the same family, the treatment they received was vastly different.
Zhou Mo had no choice but to abide by the Old Master’s previous rules. Even if he did not really want to return home, he had to end his sketching and return home to have a new year’s meal.
Yun Xi’s engagement ceremony had just ended, and Qian Yun could not wait to chase the couple from the Yun family’s eldest son out of the house.
“You two must have other things to do, right? The child’s engagement ceremony has already ended. Why don’t you let me send someone to send you to the station?”
When they came, there was a special car to pick them up, but when they left, they could not trouble the other party to send them back by special car. They could only go to the station.
However, the ticket from the city to the countryside was not a small amount. Although the Yun family’s eldest couple had 20,000 yuan in their hands right now, this money was the capital they planned to use for their business. In terms of living, they still had to spend it sparingly.
“In-laws, this is also our first time in the city. We haven’t bought a train ticket yet. I wonder if you can help us buy it?”
Liu Fang spoke first.
“Don’t worry, these are all very simple. I will get our chauffeur to send it to you. When the time comes, our chauffeur will get you a ticket at the front desk and teach you how to buy a ticket. You can rest a.s.sured!”
Qian Yun was also a very shrewd person. She immediately guessed the couple’s true thoughts. Although they could afford these two tickets with their family’s finances, she just did not like this couple from the countryside and did not want to spend a single cent on them.
“In that case, thank you, in-law!”
Qian Yun’s att.i.tude was very firm. Liu Fang could only helplessly nod and accept Qian Yun’s ‘good intentions’.
Liu Fang and her family of three sat in the car that Qian Yun had arranged for them. Reluctantly, they set off for home to celebrate the New Year.
They did not know if Zhou Mo did it on purpose or if it was a coincidence. The Yun family’s eldest son had just left when he slowly walked into the house. Therefore, even though they had lived here for almost a week, the Yun family’s eldest son did not see their son-in-law.
“Is the sketching activity over?”
When Qian Yun saw that her son had returned, she immediately went up to him.
Zhou Mo could be considered an adult man. He had fully developed all the signs that a man should have. These few days, his mood had been very heavy. He had been drunk in the hotel, so he naturally had no time to manage his appearance.
Now, his face was full of green stubble, and he even had two large dark circles under his eyes. He looked particularly haggard.
When Qian Yun saw her son’s dispirited look, she knew that something must have gone wrong with his life activities, she quickly asked with concern, “Mo’er, why have you been in such a sorry state while you’ve been sketching? Did you encounter any difficulties?”
“I’m fine. I’ve just been a little tired recently and didn’t sleep well. I’ll be fine after resting for a while.” Zhou Mo did not want to say too much, so he just used a few sentences to prevaricate.
“Alright.” Qian Yun saw that her son was not willing to say too much, so she did not force him.
“Go and shave first, then wash your face and change into a fresh set of clothes. We’ll go to your grandfather’s house in the afternoon to have the New Year’s Eve meal.”
“Mmhm, okay!”
Zhou Mo looked nonchalant.
Actually, in his heart, there was a hint of excitement and even a hint of sadness at the prospect of seeing Yun Xi.
