Chapter 976: A Sudden Meeting with the Parents

As soon as Chang Yuanchao and Zhou Li entered the door, they didn't even have time to change their shoes when they heard Chang Jiayao shouting at the top of her lungs:

"Dad, Mom, my brother said he would bring a girlfriend home for the New Year tomorrow!"

"..."

For a moment, the whole house and even the whole world seemed to be quiet.

Chang Haonan showed an expression that he couldn't bear to look at. He took three steps at a time and came to Chang Jiayao's side. He reached out and pushed his sister back to the sofa.

As for the old couple who just entered the house...

For a moment, I even forgot to close the door, letting the cold wind keep pouring in from outside.

After a while, Chang Yuanchao recovered from the initial shock:

"What...what did you say?"

This is asking Chang Jiayao.

Comrade Lao Chang has just retired from the front line two years ago, and he is still sharp and healthy. It is obviously impossible that he really didn't hear it.

I just don’t quite believe it.

However, before Chang Jiayao could speak again, Zhou Li next to her looked at Chang Haonan more directly:

"Xiaonan, your...girlfriend?"

"Ahem..."

Chang Haonan is a little helpless about his sister's Spring and Autumn style of writing:

"Not a girlfriend yet, she's a girl, a friend."

This answer...

Although it is negative on the surface.

The inner meaning is also negative.

But for the questioner, the effect is almost the same as affirmation.

As a result, Zhou Li, who had been shocked just now, instantly showed a smile on her face:

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, as long as it's a woman."

"I'm not my girlfriend now, maybe I will be in the future..."

While talking, the two of them had already changed their clothes and shoes as quickly as possible.

Chang Yuanchao didn't seem as excited as Zhou Li on the surface, but he was quite curious:

"Tell me quickly, where does the girl live and what is her job now?"

"How did you two meet?"

"Is it because of work that you came to our house to celebrate the New Year, or because it's snowing so hard that you can't go back?"

Even though Chang Haonan was used to big scenes, he was bombarded with a series of questions and was a little confused.

"I am a colleague, and before that, I was my senior sister..."

"Because it's snowing and the flight can't take off, I thought about calling her over to celebrate the New Year together..."

Zhou Li, who arrived later, did not give him a chance to buffer:

"Then do you know what she likes to eat?"

"have no idea."

Chang Haonan shook his head.

"If you're from the south, do your New Year customs differ from ours?"

For Northeasterners, everything south of Shanhaiguan is "South".

"Uh... I don't know either."

Continue to shake your head.

"Sigh... Why don't you, a child, know everything about everything and don't ask in advance..."

Zhou Li sighed with a look of hatred:

"You should have told us earlier so that we could prepare earlier... It's already twenty-nine in the afternoon, and it's too late to prepare anything..."

Not to mention Chang Haonan who was in the middle of the two, even Chang Jiayao who was watching the excitement broke into a cold sweat.

As for the former, it’s even more dumbfounding:

"Mom... I just can't get home in time. I'm here to celebrate New Year's Eve, and I don't really want to come..."

"Besides, I haven't seen any difference in what she eats. Besides, she has been in the capital for more than ten years, so she should be considered a native of the capital."

"Just prepare as usual during Chinese New Year. Just prepare more dumpling fillings and noodles..."

Hearing what he said, Zhou Li immediately raised her eyebrows:

"How about that?"

"This is your first time for a girl to come here. Don't make people think that we don't want to see you..."

Speaking, he turned to Chang Yuanchao:

"Hey, old man."

"Do you have any red envelopes?"

"No...she is two years older than me, and she is already working..."

Chang Haonan weakly put forward his opinion.

It's not that I feel bad about the money.

But this form looks a bit strange...

It's always like giving new year's money to a child.

"That's different..."

Zhou Li waved her hand without thinking:

"Anyway, just listen to me. Mom has experience in this kind of thing..."

"..."

In the end, even Chang Jiayao came over to join in the fun:

"Brother, is my sister-in-law pretty?"

Chang Haonan, who was almost numb, glanced at Chang Jiayao with a resentful expression and replied angrily:

"Won't you know when we see you tomorrow?"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the latter seemed to have heard something extraordinary, and he patted the pillow in his arms with joy:

"Just tell me, my brother has no objection to the title sister-in-law..."

"???"

Chang Haonan finally couldn't bear it anymore and reached out to knock Chang Jiayao on the head...

If she hadn't omitted that crucial word, maybe the situation wouldn't have developed to this extent.

It was obvious that although Zhou Li had never met Yao Mengna, she was already considering her treatment as a prospective daughter-in-law.

Of course, Chang Haonan himself does have this idea...

However, I still feel that the progress is a bit too fast...

…

Anyway, the next day came quickly.

Early in the morning, Chang Haonan was picked up from bed by his second elder.

Then, while preparing various New Year utensils, I was asked questions like "When will your friend arrive?" every half hour.

In the end, Chang Haonan, who took the trouble, chose to compromise and asked a driver to pick up Yao Mengna in advance.

Even at the beginning of this century, the housing prices in the capital were actually in a situation that made those who heard it sad and those who heard it shed tears.

Yao Mengna, who had just graduated and had only worked for two years, naturally lived in a single dormitory provided by Torch Laboratory.

So the situation is similar to yesterday, all the way to the outer ring, smooth and smooth.

Even when Zhou Li was just starting to prepare lunch, she heard the doorbell ringing outside.

"Quick, you have to open the door."

Chang Yuanchao pointed to the entrance and gave his son a gentle push on his back.

In fact, since Chang Haonan took the initiative to invite Yao Mengna to his home, he was not nervous at all.

As a result, I was stunned because I was tormented by the old couple, and I felt a little unsure.

However, now that everyone else has arrived at the door, it is too late to say anything.

Therefore, he took a deep breath, then turned around and walked resolutely to the door.

At the same time, Yao Mengna was standing outside the door, holding several large boxes of gifts in her hands, and she was beating a drum in her heart.

As a party that seems passive but is actually active, she now knows it very well.

If we continue to count on Chang Haonan to make the first move, then the two of them will probably have to live alone together.

Therefore, you must muster up the courage to do something first.

And today, this occasion with only two people is perfect for getting closer...

When she was on the road just now, she had already started to build herself up mentally.

I originally thought there would be no problem, but now that things are coming, I am panicking again——

"When he comes to open the door later, should I be more enthusiastic..."

"But will it scare people if you are too enthusiastic..."

"What should I call him? Professor Chang seems a bit too unfamiliar..."

"Call me by name? It seems like the span is a bit too big..."

"Are you calling me junior brother like before..."

"Also, what should I say in the first sentence..."

"I asked my best friend yesterday, and she seemed to say that men can't stand up to girls acting coquettishly, but what should I do if I'm not very good at this..."

"..."

In the cold wind, Yao Mengna was so anxious that she was almost sweating.

But at this moment, only a "pop" sound was heard.

The door opened.

"Sister, please come in quickly."

In non-work situations, Chang Haonan is still accustomed to using this more casual address.

And this also helped Yao Mengna solve a big problem.

"Junior brother, happy New Year!"

After entering Chang Haonan's house, it's hard to say whether it was because of nervousness or shyness. In short, Yao Mengna's mind was already a little overwhelmed.

And the moment before opening the door, she was thinking about the advice she got from some little sisters last night——

Learn to act coquettishly.

Don't come on too strong.

Find ways to inspire the other person's protective desire.

Logically speaking, none of these three items can be wrong.

But in the chaos, Yao Mengna subconsciously mixed all the above contents.

And the external performance is...

When Chang Haonan closed the door and was about to get her slippers.

He said this in an extremely arrogant tone:

"Junior brother...it's so cold outside..."

As soon as the words came out, not to mention Chang Haonan who almost fell to the ground, even Yao Mengna closed her eyes.

"Oh my god...how could I make such a strange sound...it's so shameful..."

However.

What’s even more shameful is yet to come.

"Brother, is this the colleague you said was coming to your home for the New Year?"

Just as Yao Mengna was about to open her eyes, a crisp female voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

"?"

Before she could figure out what was going on, a second, more mature female voice came from a little further away:

"Xiaonan, let the guests come in quickly, I'm holding your hand here..."

"?"

Yao Mengna began to realize that something seemed to have gone wrong.

Immediately afterwards, there was a rich male voice——

It’s not Chang Haonan’s:

"Don't be too restrained, just treat it as your own home..."

"?"

Finally, it was Chang Haonan’s voice:

"Senior sister, just come here directly. What else can you take... it's too unreasonable..."

"..."

For a moment, Yao Mengna would rather her eyes could be closed forever——

Apparently, she got the situation wrong.

Chang Haonan is not alone in his family.

On the contrary, families spend the Spring Festival together.

I met my parents out of nowhere today...

And what's even more terrible is.

The words she just felt ashamed to hear must have been heard by everyone in the room...
