Chapter 2151: Chapter 2352: There’s Always Those Days Every Month!!!
The two elderly people originally walked into the school, probably only knowing that their daughter was working as a homeroom teacher at this school, but they didn’t know exactly where she worked or where her office was. So, it was a bit confusing for them the first time they came to the school, and they were standing by the roadside, preparing to find a security guard to ask some basic information.
However, at that moment, they heard Hao Jian’s call. Following the voice, they looked over and saw Hao Jian smiling at them. They were instantly delighted—they had intended to find someone to ask, but unexpectedly, they hadn’t even started asking yet and had already run into Hao Jian.
Then they noticed their daughter was also next to him, and they felt even more delighted. They were initially planning to find someone, but now there was no need as everyone they’d wanted to see was there, and they exchanged greetings.
Li Weiwei’s mom said, "Little Hao, hey... you two are together, which is great! This saves us from having to look for anyone everywhere."
Weiwei had already walked up and saw that her parents had come to the school unexpectedly without any prior notice, feeling a bit disgruntled. She walked up to her mom and said, "Mom! How come you came to the school without informing me first? If I hadn’t bumped into you, how would I have found you?"
Her mom glanced at her, but before she could speak, her dad explained first: "Your mom and I happened to have some things to do around here, meeting some old friends. Now that we’ve seen our friends, we thought your school was nearby, so we wanted to drop by and check on you."
Li Weiwei’s mom also nodded and said, "Additionally, your Auntie Zhang brought some good ingredients from our hometown, so I wanted to prepare a nice meal and invite Little Hao over for dinner as well, so we just happened to come and visit. I didn’t expect you two to be together, which perfectly aligns with your dad and my wishes."
As she spoke, Li Weiwei’s mom glanced over at Hao Jian again. Ever since Weiwei had mentioned her relationship with Hao Jian that night, her mom and dad took it as the truth and believed Weiwei. Their daughter had finally found a boyfriend, and he somewhat met their approval, so naturally, they were happy.
So, the two elders decided to cook something nice in the coming days and invite Hao Jian over for dinner, to have more contact and better understand him. And today turned out to be a good day, with some good ingredients at home, they planned to meet friends and then, on the way home, casually drop by to call their daughter and Hao Jian.
That night, Weiwei had said that Hao Jian’s workplace wasn’t far from hers, so they thought since that was the case, they might as well drop by to see where their daughter’s boyfriend worked, just to get some understanding. But now that they’ve already met, it made no difference, so they just spoke directly.
Hao Jian, upon hearing this, was a bit delighted, not expecting the two elders to specifically come to invite him for dinner. He was also a bit touched and said, "Uncle, Auntie, for something like this, just a phone call would have been enough. Why trouble you to come personally?"
Li Weiwei’s dad replied, "Since we’re just idling at home anyway, coming over was on the way. It’s fine to walk a bit more."
Li Weiwei’s mom was listening from the side, but Li Weiwei’s face showed a hint of displeasure. The reason she pretended that Hao Jian was her boyfriend that night was just a lie, using Hao Jian as a shield so her mom wouldn’t urge her to find a boyfriend or arrange blind dates for her, reducing much trouble and worries. However, she didn’t expect the two elders to actually believe it and take it seriously, even inviting Hao Jian over for dinner. This... suddenly made her feel a bit exasperated.
Pretending became real; unexpectedly, the fake turned out to be real, which was a bit hard for her to accept for the moment. Especially seeing Hao Jian’s slightly smug expression, clearly delighted, she couldn’t muster up any happiness herself. If Hao Jian really came over to her house for dinner, seeing his proud look, who knows how pleased he would be.
She looked at her mom and said, "Mom! Hao Jian is so busy with work these days, he hardly has time to eat, let alone time to come to our house for dinner. So, let’s wait until he’s done with this busy period, let’s skip it for today, I’ll just go home for dinner myself, and let him focus on his work."
She thought she could delay things for a while, at least not let Hao Jian come over for dinner tonight; otherwise, it would mean Hao Jian’s scheming paid off. Her parents, hearing how busy Hao Jian was, showed a disappointed expression.
"Then..." Li Weiwei’s mom was just about to say let’s forget it then.
However, Hao Jian smiled and interrupted what her mom was about to say, "It’s okay, Uncle, Auntie. Since you’ve come all this way, no matter how busy I am, I have to come over, right? Otherwise, wouldn’t that be letting Uncle and Auntie’s good intentions go to waste?"
After saying that, Hao Jian cast a somewhat smug glance at Li Weiwei. It seemed he was saying, let’s see, you can’t stop me from going; you said I was busy, but I said it’s okay, what can you do about it. Li Weiwei heard this and indeed got more annoyed, glaring at him directly.
Then she said, "Young people should prioritize their careers. But you always think about eating, drinking, and having fun all day. You can’t go; finish your work first before talking about it."
Li Weiwei’s dad immediately said to her, "Oh! Weiwei, you shouldn’t say it like that; it’s just a meal, nothing as serious as you make it out to be."
Her mom undoubtedly hoped even more that Hao Jian could come. After all, everything was prepared, so she followed up saying, "If it were something big, then yes, he should focus on his work. But from what Little Hao said, it’s not a big deal, just coming over for a meal. It doesn’t delay work too much. Weiwei, you’re exaggerating a bit here."
Li Weiwei didn’t expect her parents to fully side with Hao Jian; she was a bit surprised and also slightly angry. Is this for real? If it is, won’t you favor Hao Jian even more? After all, I’m your daughter, but why don’t you speak up for me even a little?
Hao Jian heard what her parents said and was even happier, saying, "Yes, Uncle and Auntie have gone to a lot of trouble to prepare a sumptuous meal for us. Having dinner doesn’t take long, and it won’t delay anything much, so why not accept their kind gesture?"
Li Weiwei’s parents showed looks of delight upon hearing Hao Jian speak, satisfied with how good his eloquence was.
Li Weiwei found herself in a difficult position; if she agreed, her parents had already said so, and Hao Jian’s words left her with nothing to refute; if she backed off, it would allow Hao Jian to take advantage, and he would surely bask in her defeat, which was not what she wanted.
Faced with this, her eyebrows furrowed slightly. If only she hadn’t spoken like that last night. She didn’t expect Hao Jian to be so shameless, smoothly continuing as the situation favored him. Now, she really wanted to sock Hao Jian.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Li Weiwei’s mom saw the situation clearly, immediately giving her dad a look, then said, "Okay, okay, we need to head home too; remember to come over at nine tonight."
With that, Li Weiwei’s mom didn’t give her a chance to speak, pulling Li Weiwei’s dad as they walked out. Her dad understood her intentions, so they quickened their pace and soon exited the school gate, hailed a cab, and disappeared from sight.
Leaving Li Weiwei and Hao Jian standing there, Hao Jian was all smiles, while Li Weiwei wore an angry face. Her mom left so quickly without giving her a chance to speak, and she understood the implication: to leave her speechless and bring Hao Jian home.
She was furious, immediately turning around to leave, and when Hao Jian saw this, he grabbed her and said, "Why go back? We haven’t had dinner yet; I’m starving."
Li Weiwei glared at him and said, "Eat, eat, eat! All you know is eat! Just save your belly to burst."
With that, Li Weiwei shook her hand and walked away, leaving Hao Jian there alone. Seeing this, Hao Jian smiled, amazed at her temper. But so what if she’s angry? Facts are facts, and despite her anger, he’s still going to dinner at her house today.
He silently chuckled at this thought, watching Li Weiwei walk away. Then he smiled again, thinking, "You might not be hungry, but I am, and even if you’re not eating, I am."
Thinking this, he strolled toward the school store, bought a few snacks, and returned to the classroom. The students inside saw him return and were a bit surprised; the class teacher called her away in the afternoon, and now that he’s back looking relaxed, he seemed to have dodged a bullet.
Fatty leaned in and asked, "Boss, you okay?"
Hao Jian rolled his eyes and said, "You think I look like someone with problems?"
Fatty chuckled foolishly, "Good to know you’re okay, good to know."
Hu Lai approached and patted Hao Jian’s shoulder, asking, "Boss... um... why was the teacher so strict with you this time? She usually doesn’t punish you no matter what you do."
Hao Jian replied, "Every woman has those few days a month; I was unlucky enough to get caught during hers, got it?"
Hu Lai nodded knowingly, and Fatty’s face broke into a smile as well.
Although Hao Jian didn’t say it directly, they all understood his words, knowing what he meant.
"Got it!" The two of them grinned wickedly.
