Chapter 205: Zheng Family Apologizes

Seeing that it was already time, in the evening after school, Su Yun Jiao kept sending Zhou Tingting to the school gate, and then discovered that the Zheng family's driver had come to pick up Zhou Tingting and Zhou Xian. The driver got out of the car and specially placed two sets of clothes in front of Zhou Xian and Zhou Tingting, saying: "Miss, young master, Madam says to change clothes and then go to the restaurant."

Upon hearing what the driver said, Zhou Tingting immediately furrowed her brows and said, "Going to the restaurant? What for?"

"This... is the Zheng family inviting us, saying they want to explain what happened last night, as well as today's news..."

"It turns out Mom also knows about today's news; she already knows about it, yet she wants me to meet Zheng Haoyuan? Zheng Haoyuan is basically no good at all."

Zhou Tingting didn't quite understand what her mother was thinking; today's news had already made things very clear.

Zheng Haoyuan not only indulges in eating, drinking, gambling, and prostitution, but also has violent tendencies.

He has beaten many employees before and even assaulted women, insulting them; such a person is basically society's scum, a piece of trash.

Seeing Zhou Tingting unwilling to go, the driver also felt embarrassed.

He was merely following Madam Zhou's instructions.

If Zhou Tingting and Zhou Xian are unwilling to go, then my task cannot be completed.

Su Yun Jiao also noticed the driver's embarrassment.

She said to Zhou Tingting, "It's just to take a look at Zheng Haoyuan; we haven't said we'll settle your engagement. Zheng Haoyuan did something so outrageous last night and caused such a huge scandal—he should apologize to you."

Zhou Tingting quickly understood Su Yun Jiao's meaning: Su Yun Jiao meant that this time they were just meeting as the parents of both sides, to listen to Zheng Haoyuan apologize to her.

Her mother wasn't planning to let them get engaged; after such a huge scandal, who would dare to marry their daughter to Zheng Haoyuan?

Thinking this through, Zhou Tingting suddenly realized.

So, this time Zhou Tingting directly took the dress handed to her by the driver.

She wanted to dress up beautifully today to let Zheng Haoyuan know how unworthy he is of her; seeing her sister obedient and sensible, she also took the garment handed to her.

After the two changed clothes, they got into the car with the driver.

Su Yun Jiao was still somewhat worried that Madam Zhou would accept Zheng Haoyuan, so she decided to follow them secretly.

Just then, a car stopped in front of Su Yun Jiao.

Su Yun Jiao looked up and saw that the person in the car was Secretary Li; Secretary Li rolled down the window and said, "Boss Lu said to let Miss Su go home after school today and not cause trouble."

Upon hearing Secretary Li's words, Su Yun Jiao's face showed a surprised expression.

How did Boss Lu know that I wanted to follow Zhou Tingting after school to see what was going on?

"I didn't plan to do anything; I just..."

"Boss Lu said, even curiosity is not allowed."

Su Yun Jiao was choked back by Secretary Li's words; she really was just purely curious.

"Miss Su, please get in the car."

Secretary Li knew that what Su Yun Jiao most wanted to do right now was to follow that car.

But in order not to make Boss Lu angry, Su Yun Jiao gave up that idea and returned to Jingyuan together with Secretary Li.

At the same time.

Zhou Tingting and Zhou Xian had also arrived at Hai Cheng Restaurant.

This time both sets of parents had booked a private room to avoid noise and crowds.

As soon as Zhou Tingting walked into the private room, Zheng Haoyuan saw her face full of arrogance.

Zhou Tingting's appearance is playful yet not cute, with a hint of maturity; at 1.69 meters tall, she has a sweet yet alluring style.

Zheng Haoyuan was already attracted to Zhou Tingting at first sight.

I must be out of my mind to have said such a thing to Qin Xue.

If he sees Zhou Tingting, he will definitely not let such a refined young lady go.

"Tingting, Yan Li, come over."

Madam Zhou greeted her two children.

Zhou Xian and Zhou Tingting sat in the seats closest to Madam Zhou.

Zhou Tingting originally had no good impression of Zheng Haoyuan, so at the table she didn't even give him a glance; even if Zheng Haoyuan tried to show his thoughtfulness, it was useless.

How could Madam Zhou not know what her children are thinking?

She remained silent, just waiting to see the Zheng family's attitude.

Soon, Madam Zheng spoke first: "Tingting, this girl really looks much prettier than in the photo; whoever can marry her as a daughter-in-law would be so blessed."

"That's natural, but this person is definitely not your son."

Zhou Tingting always speaks her mind without yielding.

However, Zhou Tingting rarely behaves so rudely in front of elders, unless it's someone she particularly dislikes.

When faced with someone she especially dislikes, Zhou Tingting won't even acknowledge them.

That sentence made Madam Zheng's smile stiffen.

Madam Zhou also lightly said: "Tingting, I've told you many times to respect elders when you're out; when you speak, you should pay attention—even when telling the truth, remember to be tactful."

Madam Zhou had no intention of giving the Zheng family any face; if it weren't for the Zheng family insisting on meeting this afternoon despite repeated refusals, she wouldn't have let her daughter see Zheng Haoyuan again.

If the Zheng family treats this as an opportunity, they are completely mistaken.

Madam Zheng forced a smile and said: "Madam Zhou, I think there's definitely a misunderstanding between us; my son truly fell in love with Tingting at first sight. Last night's incident was caused by that girl posing as Qin Xue, who wanted to climb the social ladder and become a phoenix, so she deliberately impersonated Tingting's identity. Haoyuan already told me about this; weren't we happily chatting yesterday?"

Last night, Madam Zheng specially called Madam Zhou for her son's sake.

At that time, Madam Zhou also said, "Since it's a misunderstanding, we can still talk things out."

Mr. Zheng, sitting nearby, clearly understood that Madam Zhou had come today to clarify the news; he then said, "Madam Zhou has always been a heroine among women in our industry—how could she care about such trivial matters? However, I've already seen today's news; it's purely intentional fabrication. I know best what kind of person my son is; I'm sure someone doesn't want our two families to marry, so they deliberately fabricated this scandal online."

Madam Zhou still remained silent, seemingly dissatisfied with such an explanation.

"I think it might not be fabricated news; we've investigated and it's all true."
