Mom's efficiency is much faster than Liu Xin'an expected. Although he does not have enough time, he still needs to drive there himself when his dad comes from China.
Mom didn't come, mainly because dad only called him when he came this time and didn't tell mom when he would arrive.
This means that.
"What do you want to ask?"
It's obvious. Dad must have something to ask him, so he suddenly came over.
And the thing that dad wants to ask about is probably related to his uncle.
"What kind of person is your uncle?"
Liu Xin'an suddenly laughed out loud. He seemed to see a hint of panic in the co-pilot, a mature and steady man.
Dad was probably worried about what his brother-in-law would think of him. After all, these things were completely new to his dad.
He has never met his mother's family at all. After thirty years of marriage, this is the first time that his father has had serious contact with his mother's family.
It's really strange that I'm not nervous.
"Are you nervous?"
It was rare to see his father like this, and Liu Xin'an really wanted to make fun of him.
"I am nervous?"
"Your hands are shaking."
"Ahem, why don't I go to your house first and take a day off from your live broadcast today."
Liu Xin'an looked embarrassed. Coming to pick up his father in the early morning had already reduced the time he spent making clay for Pei Zhuxuan's stone sculpture, and now he was actually asked to...
No, if you take a day off to broadcast live, wouldn't you have more time to prepare gifts for Bae Zhuhyun?
This business is profitable! Anyway, my live broadcast time this month is very long, so taking a day or two to rest is not a big problem.
Liu Xin'an has forgotten that he has actually had a day off this month.
It was the day I went on a date with Bae Zhuhyun.
Of course, since you have to take leave, it cannot be in vain.
"I have promised my water friends..."
He held the steering wheel and looked embarrassed.
Then he was glared angrily by the father next to him, and then he showed a grinning expression.
"Okay, let's enjoy some father-son time today. Let's take you to eat something more unique here. The authentic Korean bibimbap. Have you ever tried it?"
"Is it tasty?"
"It's no different from what mom does."
As soon as he said this, Liu Zhengjiang chewed his teeth and showed a disgusted expression.
Ah, it's not that he has any objection to this bibimbap, but his wife really likes making it.
Especially when they first met, he didn’t know Korean, and the other person didn’t know Chinese or English. The two of them just relied on gestures to communicate, and then for some reason, Park Jung-sook, who went back with him, used the leftovers from home.
, made such a bibimbap.
To be honest, the atmosphere during the meal was very good, especially when Park Jung-sook blinked her big eyes and looked at him expectantly.
But that taste...
Even though Park Jung-sook later made him a lot of delicious bibimbap, in Liu Zhengjiang's heart, the bibimbap that time was really impressive.
"Just grab something to eat. Where is Zhuhyun? Are you busy?"
"Well... busy."
"Did you tell her I was coming today?"
"No."
Liu Zhengjiang was stunned and looked sideways at his son beside him.
Maybe it's because Liu Xin'an is now in a relationship, Liu Zhengjiang feels that this kid suddenly looks a little more mature than before.
But... there is a limit to maturity.
"Have you ever thought about what Zhuxun would think if she found out that you specifically didn't tell her about my arrival?"
"...If I tell her, she will definitely come over to see you with me."
"That's her business, but if you don't tell her, it's your business."
Dad's calm answer made Liu Xin'an look a little stunned.
After thinking for a few seconds, Liu Xin'an took out his phone and took a deep breath.
"I'll make a call."
"Um."
In Red Velvet's dormitory, the vibrating mobile phone on the sofa attracted the attention of Jiang Seulqi who was eating breakfast beside her. She subconsciously raised her head and glanced at the lit screen of the mobile phone. The three characters "Yoo Xin'an" made her raise her eyebrows slightly.
She picked up Pei Zhuhyun's cell phone and did not answer it rashly. Instead, she walked to the bathroom door and knocked gently.
"Sister Zhuhyun, your boyfriend called you."
After a few seconds, the sound of water in the bathroom disappeared, and then the closed bathroom door opened, and a white arm with water droplets stretched out.
"Give me the phone."
"Wow, that's not the case. Wouldn't it be the same after taking a shower?"
"Give me."
Jiang Seulqi spread her hands and handed the phone to Bae Zhuhyun.
With a "bang", the door closed, and Jiang Seulqi pressed it against the door in a hopeless manner.
"What are you doing? Like a pervert." Sun Shengwan happened to yawn and walked out of the bedroom door. After seeing Jiang Seulqi's strange movements, he asked curiously.
This made Jiang Seulqi extremely embarrassed. She turned around as if nothing had happened, walked to the sofa, and then said in a gossipy tone: "Yoo Xin'an called Sister Zhuhyun. I'm a little curious about what the two of them were talking about."
"It's all boring, this is people's privacy!"
Son Seung-wan had a look of disdain on his face, but as soon as he finished speaking, Bae Joo-hyun, who was wrapped in a bath towel with her long hair wet, pushed open the bathroom door with a bang.
"What's wrong? What did Liu Xin'an tell you?" Sun Shengwan asked hurriedly, while Jiang Seulqi, who was sitting on the other side of the sofa, looked at her with a question mark on her face.
This person just said he was boring??
Where does that face come from!
"I have to go over there. Liu Xin'an's father is here. This bastard only told me now!"
It was definitely a big deal for her boyfriend's father to come over. Liu Xin'an actually waited until her uncle arrived before telling her. She was really angry.
"Ah? Why am I telling you now?"
"How do I know? I'm so annoyed. I'll go there in the afternoon and you can find any excuse to help me get across."
"Oh, good..."
Pei Zhuhyun ran back to the bedroom in a hurry. It took less than half an hour. After changing clothes and putting on makeup, Pei Zhuhyun ran out with a curling iron.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! She sat down next to Jiang Seulqi, handed the hair dryer to him, and then handed her long hair into his hand.
"Seulgi, I leave it to you."
"okay."
"How can I help?"
Bae Zhuhyun glanced at Son Seungwan who was eager to try, and after a second of silence: "Let's sing a song."
Son Seung Wan:???
———
"Ding Dong~"
"Oh? Who is it?"
Liu Xin'an stood up in confusion and walked towards the door.
Bae Zhuhyun usually comes in directly and doesn't know how to ring the doorbell. Could it be...
"...So fast?"
Well, there was no surprise. The person who appeared at her door was the impossibly beautiful Ms. Bae Zhuhyun with exquisite makeup and long hair parted in the middle.
It's just that his girlfriend is not in a good mood right now.
She glared at Liu Xin'an viciously and whispered softly: "I'll settle the score with you later."
Liu Xin'an broke into a cold sweat. His father was right, he didn't think carefully... He only thought about not disturbing his girlfriend's work, and completely forgot to consider Pei Zhuhyun's own feelings.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
This kind of thing must be decided by Bae Zhuhyun himself after all. He is not qualified to make decisions for Bae Zhuhyun.
"I'm sorry." Liu Xin'an, who realized what he had done wrong, apologized honestly. This apology also made Pei Zhuxuan's expression soften a lot.
She patted her face, gave a very sweet smile, then hurriedly put on her indoor slippers and went into the house, bowing deeply to the man who was smiling at her on the sofa.
"Hello uncle, I'm sorry that I didn't go to the airport with Xin'an to pick you up. I'm really sorry..."
"No need to apologize. This kid didn't tell you. But even if you didn't come, there is no need to apologize. There is no need for the family to engage in such nonsense. It's better to be busy."
The sound of a family almost brought tears to Pei Zhuxuan's eyes. To be honest, she knew that Pu Zhenshu had always treated her as a daughter-in-law. She could feel Pu Zhenshu during those days in China and the day when she came here.
Shu's care and love for her.
But her boyfriend's father... she has never dared to get close to him.
Perhaps it was because the aura of superiority in the other person was so strong that she was always subconsciously afraid of this uncle with a gentle smile.
But now, the sound of "family" really touched her.
"Um."
She responded, sat down on the sofa obediently, and then motioned with her eyes to Liu Xin'an, who was a little embarrassed, to come and sit too.
When Liu Xin'an sat down honestly, she looked at Liu Zhengjiang curiously.
"Is uncle coming here this time to deal with auntie and senior Park Jin Young?"
"Senior...ah, Park Jin Young also worked as an artist, and now he is still the owner of an agency, right?"
"Yes."
"Yes, the main reason for coming here this time is to meet each other and have a meal together. Are you free tonight?"
"Yes! I'm free!"
"Dad, don't let her go with you. If her meeting with her uncle is discovered by the media, it will cause her a lot of trouble."
Liu Xin'an stopped him. He understood what his father meant. Although he was very happy, his father regarded Pei Zhuxuan as one of his own and invited her to have dinner with him.
But the relationship between Bae Zhuhyun and her uncle is really too sensitive.
"Oh, that's true. I think it's easy." Liu Zhengjiang nodded. He understood the principle of avoiding suspicion.
He also knew that Liu Xin'an would stop him, and he said this more to express his attitude.
Tell Bae Zhuhyun that he never regarded the other party as an outsider.
As an "old fox" who has been in the workplace for many years, how could he not see how nervous and awkward Bae Zhuhyun was when facing him, so if he could get closer to Bae Zhuhyun with just a few words, he would be happy.
"I'll be careful, I won't be discovered." Pei Zhuxuan pursed her lips nervously and spoke cautiously.
"It's better to be careful. There are ways to completely avoid this possibility, so don't take risks."
This time Pei Zhuhyun had nothing to say. She finally knew that her boyfriend was too cautious sometimes because of whose personality he followed.
It looks like the roots are here.
Liu Zhengjiang could see that Pei Zhuxuan was a little disappointed, and after thinking for a few seconds, he smiled gently again.
"If we go to China in the future, we will still have many opportunities to have dinner together. Don't blame yourself. No one treats you as an outsider."
"Well! Uncle, I know that you have invited me, but I can't go there. It's a bit regretful..."
"Okay, Xin'an said you still have work today, so you don't need to delay your own affairs because of me. If you should go and do your business, I'll just ask Xin'an to take me there."
"I can stay for a while, it's okay!"
"Yes, and dad, if you want to know about uncle, Zhu Hyun should be able to answer more."
Liu Zhengjiang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and looked at Pei Zhuxuan: "Won't it affect your work?"
"No, I'm just in the preparation stage of new songs now, so it's okay to take a half-day break."
"That's good, that's good."
Liu Zhengjiang's curiosity about Park Jinying is actually more curious about what this person is like.
He had heard about it, but to be honest... it was really difficult for him at his age to learn to use a computer to look up information about Park Jin Young.
At present, everything he knows about Park Jinying is what his son told him during the Chinese New Year, and then there is the information compiled by Li Chenglu.
However, most of what Li Chenglu's girl told him was about his brother-in-law in the entertainment industry. He was not curious about these. He wanted to know what kind of person Park Zhenying was on a daily basis.
As for this question, Li Chenglu obviously couldn't answer it. After all, Li Chenglu had never actually come into contact with Park Zhenying. At most, he only knew about this person on the Internet.
Therefore, Bae Joo Hyun and Yoo Shin An, two people who have actually come into contact with Park Jin Young, may be of greater help to him.
The problem...is actually that my brother-in-law is curious about his brother-in-law's personality, orientation, etc.
And after listening to Liu Xin'an's answer about his contact with Park Jin Young during this period, Liu Zhengjiang, a man who has seen great storms, was also a little stunned.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Sounds very easy-going."
"...Dad, why do you think your uncle is not an easy-going person?"
"That girl Cheng Lu said that your uncle is a very... fashion-chasing person. Maybe he has a more lively and follow-up personality?"
Bae Zhuhyun could probably understand why Li Chenglu gave this answer. To be honest, she was shocked when she saw Park Jinying being so normal in private.
She once had the experience of meeting Park Jin Young backstage. This older "idol" who always likes to wear colorful clothes really has a very out-of-the-box personality, but on stage, his image is even more unrestrained.
It's to the point where people can't even see it.
To this day, Bae Joo Hyun still remembers Jackson Wang’s confused and shocked expression when she saw Park Jin Young dancing off the stage.
(If possible, please post a picture, book friend, I can’t find it)
"Senior Park Jin Young's words... privately, the feeling is different from what fans usually see. To be honest, I was shocked when I saw Park Jin Young at home that day. But Shin Ahn is right, Park Jin Young is really easy-going.
people."
"That's it..."
"Of course, it may be because we are juniors, but for you, it may not necessarily be the case."
Liu Xin'an lightly applied the knife, and suddenly his father's nerves, which had relaxed a lot, became tense again.
This unscrupulous and excessive behavior made Pei Zhuxuan pat him lightly in annoyance.
Of course, she couldn't do anything more in front of her father.
"Uncle loves auntie very much, and Park Jinyoung sunbaenim also loves auntie very much. I don't think there is any difference between you and Park Jinyoung sunbaenim. We will definitely get along very well."
Liu Zhengjiang nodded, showed a helpless smile, and looked at his son.
"Just kidding, don't take it seriously. My uncle is a very nice person, so don't worry."
Liu Xin'an quickly made up for what he said, trying to appease his father's uneasy mood.
Dad's state is really too new for him, and it's really hard for him to treat it naturally.
"So uncle, you haven't contacted aunt yet?"
"Yes, let's have lunch. After lunch, you go back to work. Xin'an and I are almost ready to go to Zhenshu's place."
"Then... uncle, would you like to try kimchi fried rice? I'm very good at making this!"
Pei Zhuxuan's eyes lit up and she said excitedly.
I had never had the chance to celebrate the New Year at Liu Xin'an's house before, and at most I only helped Park Jung-sook.
Now that she had the opportunity, she wanted to do her best to be a landlord and at least show off her specialty kimchi fried rice.
Of course, fried rice alone would be too shabby, so Pei Zhuxuan also planned to add fried pork.
"Do you want to cook the meal yourself?"
"Um!"
"Then it seems that I have a good meal today. Xin'an has told me many times that your Korean food is very good, because Zhenshu's food is not delicious."
This is not a lie by Liu Zhengjiang, Liu Xin'an did say this.
Of course, Liu Xin'an's real purpose in saying this was not to show off how good his girlfriend was, but simply to... make his father angry.
My mother is actually also a paranoid person. She still cannot accept that her Korean food is getting worse and worse.
In fact, it’s not that my mother’s cooking skills have gotten worse, it’s more about the change in taste.
The Chinese taste is completely different from the taste here.
The longer she lives in China, the closer Park Jung-sook's taste will be to China.
As time went by, when she occasionally cooked Korean food, it would taste nondescript.
She, a Chinese who had become a monk on the way, felt that her Chinese taste was neither fish nor fowl, so for Liu Zhengjiang at that time...
I can only say that the experience is unforgettable.
"Xin'an, come with me to the supermarket."
"Ah..." Liu Xin'an frowned and looked at his girlfriend, "Just tell me what you want to buy. There is no need to go with me."
These words made Pei Zhuxuan grit her teeth. She gently stepped on her boyfriend's feet and applied a little force.
This time Liu Xin'an came to think about it.
Indeed, he couldn't leave Pei Zhuhyun alone at home to face his father.
This matter is too cruel for Bae Zhuhyun... Let's forget it.
"Well, dad, Zhuhyun and I are going to buy some ingredients. Why don't you tell mom that you've already arrived?"
"Well, go ahead, I'll just tell her."
"good!"
Liu Xin'an nodded, and then pulled Pei Zhuxuan, who kept bowing to Liu Zhengjiang, to the door. After changing his shoes, he stood at the door waiting for Pei Zhuxuan to tidy up her long hair.
The second time you go to the supermarket is more comfortable than the first time, but the most basic artist's three-piece set is still essential.
Soon, Pei Zhuxuan took Liu Xin'an's arm and pulled him towards the door.
