By the time she got home, it was already getting dark.
She was already in a bad mood, and unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the door she was hit by a flying shoe: "You still know how to come home, do you think I, as your dad, have embarrassed you, insisting on becoming someone else’s young lady?
What happened, were you rejected again? You really have a thick skin.
You think having a father like me embarrasses you, perfect, I also think having a shameless daughter like you is something I, Zhou Dongping, cannot bear. Pack your things and get out, I’ll pretend I don’t have you as my daughter."
This scared Cai Xiaoqin: "Dear, have you gone mad?"
Zhou Dongping was truly angry: "I’m about to go mad, not without being driven to it by her. Every day, she only dreams of good things. How many times have they explicitly and implicitly rejected her, yet she insists on forcing them, until they’re unwilling to even save me any face? Is that what makes you comfortable?"
At this moment Zhou Guyu came in: "Dad, what’s up with you all, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at by the neighbors?"
She just came back and saw that several families next door were standing at the gate, pretending to chat there, but in reality, they were eavesdropping on the gossip from the house.
Why else would they stand outside in this cold winter, unless they wanted to experience what it was like to freeze like a popsicle?
Upon hearing his second daughter’s words, Zhou Dongping closed his eyes to try to calm himself down, after a while he spoke again: "I’ll say it one more time today, Zhou Jingzhe, before Uncle Han’s young lady was found, they still refused to agree on the godparent matter, let alone now that their young lady is found, you need to dispel that unrealistic thought immediately.
If there’s a next time, you’ll get out of this house, I can’t bear losing face like this."
Cai Xiaoqin also quickly persuaded: "Jingzhe, you can’t force the godparent matter, if you keep pestering, it’ll only irritate them; listen to mom, let it go."
Zhou Guyu couldn’t stand her brainless sister: "Sis, Mom and Dad are just thinking of your good, don’t wear out Uncle Han’s war-time friendship with Dad, by then, Uncle Han might even avoid Dad."
When Zhou Dongping heard his second daughter, he looked at his wife, Cai Xiaoqin: "She’s not young anymore, it’s time for her to start looking for someone."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jingzhe was unhappy: "Dad, just because I went to see Uncle Han today, you want to marry me off, are you really my biological father?"
Zhou Dongping had been suppressing his temper, fearing a real outburst would make the neighbors laugh, but didn’t expect his eldest daughter to ask such a question: "Then when you’re obsessed with wanting to recognize godparents, have you thought about how your biological father feels?
From childhood to now, have I deprived you of food or clothes, that you have to run off and disgrace yourself."
Zhou Jingzhe was filled with anger: "Was it Uncle Han who called you today?"
Zhou Dongping was somewhat annoyed: "If Uncle Han really did call, then my friendship with him would be completely exhausted, so stop doing those fruitless stupid things, okay?
Can you save me a little face?"
Zhou Jingzhe understood: "So the call was from Mr. Su beside Uncle Han, right?"
Zhou Dongping felt like he’d punched a cotton ball; his daughter seemed to not understand what he was saying, insisting on bringing up these irrelevant matters, does it make a difference who made the call?
After taking a deep breath: "Everyone has their limits, take care of yourself."
Zhou Jingzhe knew that her dad was truly angry: "Dad, I understand, I’ll stop going over in the future, you’re right, it was my insistence."
