Chapter 1037 Meeting the Parents

Chen Ziyu called her mother.

"Ziyu, have you arrived?"

"We just arrived in Hangzhou, and it will take some time to get home." Chen Ziyu was still worried that it was too early and disturbed her mother's rest.

"Okay, don't worry. We are waiting at home, come directly, the house has been packed." Chen's mother didn't sleep much that night, mainly because she was worried about the safety of her daughter and Tan Yue on the road. It would take more than twelve hours to drive at night.

In addition, since her daughter confirmed her return, Chen's mother has been busy packing up the house. In fact, it has been packed up a long time ago. Yesterday afternoon, she was still looking around the house to see what was out of place.

After all, this time is different from the past. The daughter is not coming back alone. The future son-in-law is an important guest, and he must be dressed appropriately.

"Mom, hang up first, we continue driving."

"Be careful." After Chen's mother finished speaking, she hung up the phone directly, fearing that it would affect driving safety.

Tan Yue asked, "Where are we going now?"

"Wait a minute, I'll take a look."

Tan Yue opened his mouth slightly and asked tentatively, "Are you looking at the navigation?"

"Yes."

"Can't find the way home?"

"It's here." Chen Ziyu put his mobile phone on the mobile phone holder and said slowly, "You also know that I have been in Beijing. Even if I go home, I stay at home for a few days during the Spring Festival and rarely come back. Especially after my parents moved to Hangzhou, they come back even less often."

Tan Yue glanced at the mobile phone navigation. There was still more than half an hour to the destination. He took a deep breath to relieve the tension in his heart, and slowly drove the car according to the guidance of the navigation.

"Is this in the suburbs?"

Chen Ziyu shook his head and said, "No, it's in the main urban area."

As the vehicle entered the main urban area, the number of vehicles on the road gradually increased. Tan Yue gradually slowed down the driving speed. Although there was a navigation, it was his first time in Hangzhou after all. He was not familiar with the road. If he went wrong, it would delay time.

The vehicle moved forward slowly, time passed by minute by minute, and the two talked, getting closer and closer to the destination.

"Leave the rest of the way to me." Chen Ziyu saw the familiar street and found the way home in an instant, but the navigation sound was still ringing on the phone, which made it easier for Tan Yue to drive.

"I didn't expect that there would be a different scenery here!"

Tan Yue thought it would be very prosperous and lively. But after the car drove to this area, there were not too many people. Looking around, there were neat streets and various green vegetation.

"Of course, this is the place my mother chose on purpose. I think the scenery is good."

Tan Yue nodded.

The scenery is indeed good. There are no high-rise buildings in this area, almost all of them are single-family villas.

"This is it!" As soon as the voice fell, the car was stopped.

Chen Ziyu told the security guard the building number where he was, and after verification, the car drove in.

"Are we almost there?" Tan Yue's tone was obviously nervous, and his heartbeat accelerated.

"If I remember correctly, there are two more houses ahead." Chen Ziyu looked around the surrounding environment.

This area is full of single-family villas with separate courtyards. The decoration styles vary greatly, especially in the courtyards. Some of them are planted with flowers and plants, while others have fountains.

"It's right in front!"

In front of a villa, stood a middle-aged couple and a young man.

The car hadn't arrived yet, and Chen Ziyu lowered the window and waved.

The middle-aged couple was Chen's father and mother, and the young man was Chen Ziyu's younger brother Chen Xiang.

"Mom." Chen Ziyu got out of the car and shouted.

"Are you tired along the way?" Chen's mother asked with concern.

As the two talked, Chen's father and Chen Xiang greeted Tan Yue.

"Hello, uncle!" Tan Yue hurriedly greeted him.

Chen's father smiled and said, "Xiao Yue, you've worked hard on the road, driving so far."

"It's okay, Ziyu and I take turns driving, so we're not too tired."

"Brother Yue." Chen Xiang greeted.

The two had met before, and they were not unfamiliar but not very familiar.

"Xiao Yue, you must be tired after driving for so long." Chen's mother came over.

Tan Yue said, "It's okay, auntie!"

"Hurry up and go in, don't stand outside. The two children must be exhausted after driving for so long. If you have anything to say, go home and talk." Chen's mother hurriedly arranged for everyone to go in.

Tan Yue opened the back door and took something from the back seat: "Uncle and aunt, I don't know what you like, so I brought you some things. I hope you like them."

Chen's mother said, "Xiao Yue, don't bring anything when you come here in the future. We have everything here."

"It's the first time here, so you still have to bring it, haha."

With the help of Chen Ziyu and Chen Xiang, all the things in the back seat were taken in.

After entering the villa, I saw that some areas were planted with flowers and plants, and some were vegetables.

Chen's mother said, "Your uncle and I are in the catering business. We have always had the habit of growing vegetables. One of the reasons why we bought the house here was that there was a yard where we could grow some vegetables."

Chen's father took over the topic and smiled, "When we first bought it, it was all greenery. I didn't like those things very much. Now I have someone do it myself."

The villa yard is about 300 square meters.

"I think it's nice to grow some vegetables for myself. It's not easy to find a house like this in Beijing."

Several people chatted and laughed as they entered the villa.

The villa has four floors, three above ground and one underground.

The underground floor is mainly for leisure and entertainment, and the first floor is a living room and kitchen.

The second and third floors are mainly bedrooms and rest areas.

In addition, there is a large open-air balcony.

"Sister Liu, please bring all the breakfast here." Chen's mother said.

"Okay." Sister Liu is a hired housekeeper.

"Xiao Yue, have some breakfast, it's ready."

Chen Ziyu answered quickly: "Okay, I'm almost starving."

"Auntie, thank you for your trouble."

Chen's mother waved her hand and said: "It's no trouble, just eat together."

Soon all kinds of food were served on the table, and they were specially prepared.

Chen's father and mother were business people who had been doing business all the time, so there was no dull scene. They ate and chatted about something.

Unknowingly, breakfast was over.

Chen's father said: "You two have been driving all night, and you two are tired from taking turns. Xiao Yue, go upstairs and rest first."

"Thank you, uncle." After a full meal, Tan Yue really felt exhausted.

Chen's mother said, "Xiangxiang, take your brother upstairs to rest first."

"Okay."

"Uncle, aunt, I'll go up first."

"Go."

Chen Xiang took Tan Yue to the second floor.

"Brother Yue, your room is arranged here. Tell me directly if there is anything you are not used to living in."

"Thank you, there is nothing you are not used to, but I am sorry to bother you."

"It's okay, it's all we should do." Chen Xiang continued, "I won't bother you, rest first, if you need anything, you can find me or Aunt Liu."

After Chen Xiang left, Tan Yue closed the door, looked around the room, and sat on the sofa to rest.

The room can be described as spotless, and the four-piece bed set is new at a glance. The tea leaves that he usually likes to drink are placed on the coffee table in front of him, and he is very touched.

The suitcase has been brought up, and Tan Yue is ready to rest for a while, take a shower and sleep, and recuperate.

There is a bathroom in the room, and a separate toilet.

Tan Yue took out his phone and saw many message reminders, some of which were sent in the group, and some were about work, but he didn't read them. He just opened his phone and looked at the chat with Xu Nuo.

Xu Nuo sent a message more than ten minutes ago: "Have you arrived?"

Tan Yue tapped the phone screen: "Are you there?"

"Have you met?" Xu Nuo replied in seconds.

"Yes."

"How do you feel now? Are you nervous? (dog head)"

"No." Tan Yue smiled slightly. He didn't want to tell the fat man about his true situation. Then he typed a few more words: "Just finished breakfast, no more, I'm a little sleepy after driving all night, I'm going to sleep."

Xu Nuo replied with an 'OK' gesture and ended the chat.

Tan Yue looked at the other messages, picked a few important ones to reply, then put down the phone, made a cup of tea, and prepared to wash up.

'Dong Dong Dong'

Chen Ziyu knocked on the door and asked with a smile: "Do you still feel nervous now?"

"Still a little." Tan Yue told the truth.

Whether in the previous life or this life, it was the first time to meet my mother-in-law and father-in-law. It would be strange if I wasn't nervous.

The only thing I was thankful for was that both Chen's father and mother were good at talking, and there was no awkward silence.

"It's okay, you'll get used to it after a few more times."

Tan Yue asked, "How do your parents feel about me?"

"I don't know. After you came up, they both went back to their room and didn't say anything to me." Chen Ziyu sat aside.

Tan Yue nodded slightly.

At this time, in the master bedroom on the third floor, Chen's father and mother were discussing Tan Yue.

Chen's mother said, "I think Xiaoyue is even prettier than on TV. What do you think, Old Chen?"

"She is indeed a good-looking person."

"I said my daughter's vision is absolutely flawless."

Chen's father said, "Yes, Ziyu has been alone outside since she was a child, and later she founded such an entertainment company. Everyone says she is a strong woman. I think she has changed a lot over time."

"Strong women are only seen by others. No matter how strong a woman is, she will become weak as long as she meets a man she likes and can entrust her life to."

In the eyes of her parents, Chen Ziyu's changes are very obvious. The serious feeling she gave people in the past is much less, and now she always has a smile on her lips.

"I have no opinion on their marriage." Chen's father took the lead in expressing his views. Although the contact time is very short, he has been in business for many years and has the ability to judge people.

Chen's mother thought, "I need to take a look."

In any case, it involves her daughter's lifelong event. No matter how satisfied she is now, she still needs to think twice.

The two stopped talking. Father Chen picked up the cup and drank tea with a smile on his face. Mother Chen was also quite happy.

Although there was no mention of engagement or marriage yet, both parties knew it well.

It was noon in a blink of an eye.

Mother Chen came to the kitchen to prepare lunch. In order to have a better atmosphere, Sister Liu and the chef went home temporarily.

She and Chen Shan had been in contact with the catering industry for a long time, so it was natural to make a family dinner.

The dishes were bought this morning and were very fresh.

"It's been a long time since I showed my skills." Mother Chen rolled up her sleeves and prepared to do it well.

Usually she was either at work or on the way to work, and she didn't have time to cook when she came back occasionally.

"Auntie, let me do the cooking." Tan Yue's voice came, and Chen Ziyu stood aside yawning, obviously just waking up.

"Xiaoyue, why did you come down, are you awake?"

"I woke up." In order not to sleep too long, Tan Yue deliberately set a few more alarms. This was the first time he came to Chen Ziyu's house. If he woke up and had lunch or missed the lunch time, it would be a bit impolite.

"Ziyu, take Xiaoyue to walk around, or go to the basement to play for a while, I will call you after the meal is ready."

Tan Yue said: "Auntie, you go to rest, let me cook."

"Mom, just let her do it." Chen Ziyu's mind finally woke up.

Before coming, Tan Yue specifically told himself to cook a meal and show off in front of his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Details determine success or failure.

Cooking is a small thing, but it is very important.

"Okay, okay!" Chen's mother said with a smile: "We can't let Xiaoyue work alone in the kitchen, Ziyu, you come with me to help."

Tan Yue wanted to let Chen's mother go to rest, and he could do it alone.

But Chen's mother seemed to have seen through it a long time ago, and said first: "I can't sit still, I'll wash the vegetables for you, otherwise I'll do it alone."

"Okay, then I'll trouble Auntie." Tan Yue still has some eyes.

Chen's mother started to wash the vegetables.

In the past, Chen's mother would never agree.

It's not reasonable to let others cook for guests who come to the house for the first time.

Hearing her daughter often praising Tan Yue's cooking skills, she also wanted to see it.

Because she is in the catering business, Chen Ziyu has tasted famous dishes from various places since she was a child, and has eaten many chefs' specialties. If she says it's delicious, it must be good.

Seeing Tan Yue's skillful cooking skills, Chen's mother quietly gave her daughter a thumbs up and whispered, "You can tell from this technique that she is very good at cooking."

After many years in the catering industry, you can tell whether someone is really good or not at a glance.

Soon, the aroma of food began to fill the kitchen.

Tan Yue's nervousness had disappeared, and he focused all his attention on cooking.

Father Chen, who wanted to help, saw the scene in front of him as soon as he arrived in the kitchen and asked, "Why do you let Xiao Yue cook?"

Chen Ziyu said, "Dad, let him cook. It's just right for you to taste A Yue's cooking skills, which will definitely satisfy you."

"Not so good."

Mother Chen said, "Old Chen, smell it."

"Not bad, it smells good." Then he smiled at Chen's mother.

He also knew that Tan Yue could cook, but he was still very happy to see it, and he was happy for his daughter.

Tan Yue was concentrating on cooking, thinking about what to put in his mind. What he didn't know was that his satisfaction in the hearts of his future father-in-law and mother-in-law was rising sharply.
