Chapter 460: An old father's final stubbornness

Xu Qingzhou? What the hell!

Old Xu started to suspect that he was getting old and had seen it wrong. He scrolled the screen a few times.

Xu Qingzhou, and Song Yao...

A momentary daze appeared on Xu Shouyun's face.

Seeing Xu Shouyun's expression was wrong, Shen Ming was puzzled: "Old Xu, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, nothing. That old Liu, help me turn off the computer."

Xu Shouyun came back to his senses, stood up abruptly, waved his hand, and while rushing out of the office, dialed Wang Xiaping's phone number.

At the same time, another pair of middle-aged people were also in shock.

At 5:30 PM, in a hotel private room, it fell into an eerie silence.

Four middle-aged people had different expressions, scrutinizing the young people opposite them who were wearing white T-shirts, as if they were going to get a certificate—no, they were simply going to get a certificate.

Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao sat honestly.

As the parent of the groom's side, Xu Shouyun spoke first, his gaze looking at his son, saying: "Qingzhou, you tell us."

Xu Qingzhou said truthfully: "After we finished breakfast, we thought the weather was nice and the day was quite good, so we thought about getting the certificate."

"Mm, that's how it is." Song Yao nodded along.

Song Shisong's expression was complex. Good fellow, no wonder he had been restless all day; it turned out to be this kind of thing.

He looked at his daughter and Xu Qingzhou holding hands intimately, knowing that the girl he had raised in the palm of his hand had just been arched by a pig.

"These two kids... such a big thing, how come you didn't say a word?"

After Wang Xiaping finished speaking, she pointed the spearhead at Xu Qingzhou, scolding: "Especially you, you know how to post on social media but don't know how to make a phone call?"

"It was her..." Xu Qingzhou cried out in grievance.

It was Song Yao's idea, saying something about giving both parents a surprise, and it was set to be visible only to parents, to avoid having to deal with parents and having to face the bombardment of friends.

"Hmm?"

Song Yao looked at Xu Qingzhou, the meaning of the threat self-evident.

Xu Qingzhou swallowed back the explanation he had just given. This pot, he was destined to carry: "Uncle, Auntie, it's my fault for not discussing it with you beforehand."

After a pause, he said sincerely: "But please believe that I am serious about Song Yao. We have both thought about getting the certificate thoroughly; it's not a momentary impulse, but rather we hope to live together with a more appropriate status."

Although it was a bit impulsive in the morning, this relationship could be considered as a matter of course. He and Song Yao had been together for almost four years, and they had already integrated into each other's lives.

Getting a certificate and not getting a certificate, to a certain extent, made no difference.

But after getting the certificate, it was more complete.

Zhang Junli looked at the two young people in front of her, took over the conversation, and said with a smile: "We said before that we would let them make their own decisions. Getting a certificate is also not bad."

She and Song Shisong had of course discussed Song Yao's marriage in private; after all, these two had been together for three or four years, and their family and old Xu's family were almost becoming one family.

Therefore, they were somewhat mentally prepared, but that was for after Song Yao graduated.

Who would have thought that these two would go straight to the point and secretly get the certificate.

If it were other parents of the bride, they might have had resentment, but they were the exception.

They knew what their daughter was like; it was impossible for her to be tricked into getting a certificate, and it even fit their daughter's way of acting.

She did things without any dragging of feet.

Regarding this matter, on the way here, she and old Song had pondered that it was probably just these young people hitting it off and acting first before reporting, to avoid having to look for a date for them, or having to do this or that later.

"Yes, young people have their own ideas, and it's quite good like this now..."

Wang Xiaping said from the side.

Xu Shouyun also began to greet Song Shisong: "Old Song, we are now true in-laws. Want to drink a little?"

"Must drink a little." Song Shisong responded with a chuckle.

Seeing his daughter give a look, Xu Qingzhou, this kid, was suppressed, and the only trace of depression in his heart dissipated.

It was still quite good.

He was someone who knew how to cherish his wife.

Besides, getting a certificate had the benefits of getting a certificate; the two could be considered living together more legitimately.

Many things were just like this; they indeed didn't object, but no matter how one looked at it, it was better like this now.

Seeing that the parents were already chatting happily, Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao both breathed a sigh of relief.

Marriage, after all, was a matter for two families.

Xu Shouyun and Song Shisong sipped their wine, while Wang Xiaping and Zhang Junli were looking at the two children's marriage certificates again and again.

"Good, really good." The smile on Wang Xiaping's face was piled up together.

Zhang Junli leaned over to look, nodding with a smile, feeling that these two children were really more suitable the more she looked at them, and they had a couple's look.

Wang Xiaping asked: "The marriage certificate is already obtained, then the wedding..."

"We just want to get a certificate first for now; we'll deal with the wedding and such later."

Xu Qingzhou said, peeling a large lobster for the school beauty Song. They still had to stay abroad for another year, and they hadn't bought a house or anything yet.

The four middle-aged people also nodded slightly, feeling it made a lot of sense. The certificate had already been obtained, so there was indeed no need to rush the rest.

Zhang Junli said in a deep voice: "At that time, our two families will plan it well."

"It must be planned well."

Thus, the topic was unfolded, and Wang Xiaping and Zhang Junli had already started discussing the wedding in the future.

Only the two young people were concentrating on eating.

The atmosphere of the meal was quite good, and they ate until nine o'clock in the evening.

Wutong Residential Compound.

The Xu family was having a family meeting, and Xu Shouyun was holding a teacup to sober up.

"Wash your hands!" Xu Qingzhou wanted to take an apple, but his claws were slapped away by Wang Xiaping.

"If it's not dirty, you won't get sick from eating it." Xu Qingzhou sighed, but still stood up, washed his hands, and took an apple to gnaw on.

Wang Xiaping looked at this person's lazy appearance and frowned: "You're already a married person, yet you're still not steady."

"Mom, I'm getting married, not directly turning into an old man. Young people should be full of vitality like this." Xu Qingzhou said indifferently.

Wang Xiaping was speechless and couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with this kid, still thinking about the two of them getting the certificate.

Although she had been nagging about when her son would get married, when it really came to this time, she felt it was a bit strange.

How should she put it, it was too hasty.

Getting married, how could it be said to be done just like that? Car, house, bride price, nothing had been discussed yet.

"Tell us more about your future plans."

"Just like before, wait for her to finish studying abroad, and we'll return to the country together. By then, I should be staying at Kyoto University to teach..."

The family meeting lasted until 11:00 PM. Xu Qingzhou took a shower and went back to the bedroom to call Song Yao.

In the living room, only Xu Shouyun and Wang Xiaping were left.

"Old Xu, our son has already gotten the certificate, don't you have a few words to say?"

"It's my first time having a son get married... how would I know what to say... this kid is very clear about things, let them follow their own rhythm."

Song family.

In the bedroom, Song Shisong and Zhang Junli were still a bit dazed even now.

Song Shisong took off his glasses and sighed: "I was just saying why I was restless at work today, and I couldn't put any strength into my work. It turns out my daughter was abducted."

Zhang Junli heard the sourness in her husband's tone and said: "The two have been dating for several years, it's normal to get a certificate."

Although it was indeed a bit sudden.

She was just working, and sigh, suddenly she knew her daughter was married.

"As long as our daughter is happy, that's fine."

Song Shisong nodded.

Asking himself, if he said he wasn't satisfied with such a son-in-law, that would definitely be a lie.

But all of this was also based on the foundation of his daughter's happiness.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. With our daughter's temper, I actually feel more sorry for Qingzhou, this kid..."

"Heh, serves him right."

An old father's final stubbornness.
