Chapter 53: Dazhi, You're a Grown Man, Try to Be More Accommodating

When Lin Dazhi accompanied his parents into private room 208, the couple Zhou Dakui and Xie Fenglan displayed a level of enthusiasm they had never shown before; not only did they stand up proactively, but they even came to the door to greet them.

"Oh my, in-laws, you have finally arrived. Come, come, come, take your seats quickly!"

"Oh, Sister-in-law He Lihua, it's been a while since we last met. Come, come quickly, let's sit next to each other!"

Facing the sudden enthusiasm displayed by the couple Zhou Dakui and Xie Fenglan, the elderly couple Lin Guosheng and He Lihua maintained a facade of politeness, though in their hearts they felt nothing but contempt for this fawning, sycophantic attitude.

In the past, when their son's training school was doing well, the Zhou Family had been reasonably polite whenever they met, but ever since this year, when their son's training school could no longer continue and he had to resort to delivering food, the Lao Zhou Family's expressions were no longer what they used to be, and their words were filled with cold sarcasm—it was truly biting and mean-spirited!

And now, seeing that their son had become successful again, this family had actually shamelessly latched onto them again; this ability to change faces was truly breathtaking!

Zhou Yue also stood up, originally wanting to force out a smile, but upon seeing that Bai Weiwei was actually following by Lin Dazhi's side, Zhou Yue's expression turned ugly in an instant!

"What does Lin Dazhi mean? Why did he bring Bai Weiwei along too? Doesn't he know what the purpose of the two families getting together for the holiday today is? Or did he do this on purpose, just to humiliate me?"

Looking at Bai Weiwei by Lin Dazhi's side, dressed in designer brands and shining as brightly as a star, Zhou Yue gritted her teeth until they clicked!

"Bai Weiwei, this bitch, why didn't I see how cheap she was before? The moment I divorced Lin Dazhi, she immediately rushed over to throw herself at him. Has she never seen a man in eight hundred lifetimes?" Zhou Yue's face was ashen and she didn't say a word, while all sorts of vicious thoughts were already bubbling wildly in her mind.

Seeing that Bai Weiwei had also come, the elderly couple Zhou Dakui and Xie Fenglan were also taken aback, and at the same time, they felt somewhat awkward.

They had called Lin Dazhi's family over to eat today specifically to persuade the two of them to remarry, but now Lin Dazhi had brought another woman along; what was this supposed to mean?

Xie Fenglan looked at Lin Dazhi, then at Bai Weiwei, her eyeballs rolling around as she said with a smile, "Weiwei is here too. It's really lively today. You and Zhou Yue are good sisters, so you two can just sit together. That, Xiaoyue, don't just stand there. Dazhi is here, hurry up and sit next to him."

As Xie Fenglan spoke, she frantically winked at her own daughter.

Zhou Yue rose reluctantly, just about to walk over and sit next to Lin Dazhi, but the next second, Lin Dazhi wrapped his arm around Bai Weiwei's waist and sat down next to his mother, then had Bai Weiwei sit down right next to him.

After sitting down, Lin Dazhi said with a smile, "No need, Auntie, it's fine for Weiwei to sit next to me."

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yue could no longer keep her composure, and she said coldly, "Lin Dazhi, what do you mean by this?"

Lin Dazhi glanced at her and said with a smile, "It doesn't mean anything. Bai Weiwei is my woman; isn't it normal for her to sit next to me?"

Seeing that the two were about to start a scene again, Zhou Dakui hurriedly stood up to smooth things over, saying, "It's fine, it's fine, sitting anywhere is fine. Come, come, come, everyone, let's take our seats."

Zhou Yue plopped down into her chair, turning her face to the side to sulk.

On the other side, Zhang Xiaoli sat right next to Bai Weiwei, taking her arm and starting a conversation proactively.

"Sister Weiwei, your skin is so fair and tender. Let me tell you, skin like yours needs the most care. I'll teach you properly how to maintain it later!"

"Is that so? That would be great. I don't really understand these things usually, and I just use cosmetics randomly."

"That won't do. It's best to stick to one brand for cosmetics; changing them often makes it easy to get allergies."

"Really?"

"Of course! Oh, Sister, this watch of yours is so pretty. What brand is it, and where did you buy it? I'll buy one too later."

"I bought it right there at Wanxiang City. I'll send you the salesperson's contact information later, and you can just go find her to buy it. If you mention my name, she can give you a discount."

"Ahem, alright, you two stop whispering over there, let's start eating. That, in-laws, it's a holiday today, we must have a good drink!" Zhou Dakui picked up his glass and said to Lin Guosheng beside him.

"Hehe, alright, alright!" Lin Guosheng picked up his glass and said happily, without saying anything else.

"In-law, how can you just drink tea? Why don't you have some spirits, or beer would be fine too." As Zhou Dakui spoke, he picked up the bottle, intending to pour wine for He Lihua.

"No, no, I can't drink alcohol, not even a little bit. I get dizzy if I drink!" He Lihua hurriedly refused.

After saying this, He Lihua hesitated, but a moment later she still said, "Uncle, don't take offense at what I'm about to say, but the children have already finished the paperwork. It's no longer appropriate for you to keep calling us in-laws."

Hearing her mother say this, Lin Dazhi silently gave her a thumbs-up in his heart.

Ever since entering the room, hearing the couple Zhou Dakui and Xie Fenglan calling them in-laws left and right, he had found it awkward. He had originally wanted to speak up and clarify things, but he hadn't expected his mother to say it for him first.

Hearing He Lihua's words, Zhou Dakui was stunned for a moment, and before he could say anything, Xie Fenglan's shrill voice rang out.

"Oh my, in-law, I don't like hearing you say that. The two children are just having a little spat, it's no big deal. Once their anger fades, it'll be fine. What's this about divorcing or not? The two of them have lived together for so many years, how can they just say they're divorced? Dazhi, don't you think so? It's not that Mom is lecturing you, but you're a man; living with Xiaoyue, you should be more accommodating to her."

When Xie Fenglan reached this point, seeing that no one at the table had the heart to eat and everyone was listening to her, she became even more spirited.

"Dazhi, actually, Mom called you here today, firstly so our two families could have a lively holiday, and secondly to take this opportunity to talk about your affairs. You say you two have been together for so many years, what is there that can't be talked out? And you keep talking about divorce at every turn. Tell me, how much you make the adults worry, huh? People say that a day as husband and wife brings a hundred days of kindness. When a couple lives together, how can the spoon not hit the edge of the pot? Xiaoyue has been spoiled by us since she was little; sometimes she has a little temper, but you're a grown man, so just be a bit more tolerant. What kind of insurmountable obstacle is there that you have to divorce and let others make a joke of you?"

Speaking to this point, Xie Fenglan stood up, pulled the reluctant Zhou Yue, and came to Lin Dazhi's side.

"Dazhi, today Mom will make the decision for you. No matter what happened before, after eating this meal today, it's all in the past! Once you two finish eating, hurry to the Civil Affairs Bureau and remarry. Live your lives well from now on, you hear me?"

Lin Dazhi watched as Xie Fenglan grabbed his hand and placed it on Zhou Yue's hand; his brow furrowed, and the next second he pulled it back directly.

Then, he picked up a napkin and wiped his hand.

This scene caused Xie Fenglan, who thought she had the whole situation under control, to have her expression change.

At the same time, the whole table went quiet, watching silently as Lin Dazhi picked up his phone and swiped a few times.

"Auntie, actually, I have always wanted to live a good life with Zhou Yue, but look at this—can this life even continue?" Lin Dazhi said, pressing the play button on his phone, and a recording began to play from the phone.
