Urban Hidden Dragon

Chapter 204
In the corridor outside the ward, Sophie's footsteps became slower and slower.

Especially looking at the door so close, she suddenly became nervous, "What, Zhao Dong, wait for me, I want to go to the bathroom..."

"Ok, I will wait for you."

Zhao Dong also heaved a sigh of relief. Regarding bringing Sophie to meet his parents, he actually felt a little nervous in his heart, not because he was worried that his mother would disagree, but because he was worried that her mother would think too much.

He hasn't told his mother about breaking up with Shu Qing until now, what should he explain if his mother asks?
Also, given his current situation, how could he find such an excellent girlfriend?

What if his mother asks a few more questions, how should he answer?
It hurts to think about it.

When he was worrying, he suddenly heard his elder brother scolding from inside the ward, "Are you guys finished?"

Zhao Dong froze on the spot, with his elder brother's temper, what could make him so angry?
Could it be that those relatives came again?
He didn't care about that much, so he pushed the door and broke in.

When I entered the door, I saw that besides the eldest brother and sister-in-law, there were indeed a few more people in the ward.

One of them has half-white hair and is his father's younger brother. It stands to reason that he should call him "Second Uncle".

But the relationship between the two families has been hostile over the past few years, and the elder brother can still shout out of face, but he can't shout out no matter what.

As for the haughty young man next to him, he is the only son of the second uncle, named Zhao Qing, who is also his cousin, and should have just graduated from university.

The relationship between the two is also average. They fought when they were young. At that time, Zhao Dong was thin and weak, and he was often bullied by the other party.

Because my father left early, every time I sued the elders, it was nothing.

Later, when Zhao Dong became a soldier, he beat Zhao Qing so hard that he even knocked out a few of his front teeth, which completely frightened the guy.

The two have never spoken since.

There is another girl beside Zhao Qing, with heavy makeup and a domineering look, she should be his girlfriend in terms of virtue.

On the other side of the room, everyone was stunned when they saw Zhao Dong suddenly barging in.

Among them, Zhao Qing had the biggest reaction, he took a step back, his expression was a little unnatural, he was really afraid of Zhao Dong's fist.

Zhao Dong didn't bother to talk to these people, so he turned his eyes to his elder brother and asked, "Brother, what's going on, why are they here?"

Seeing that the eldest brother didn't speak, the sister-in-law said angrily, "Xiaodong asked you, why didn't you speak? You don't tell me, Xiaodong, you came just in time, these people are here to ask for a house again!"

Zhao Dong raised his eyebrows coldly, "Are you asking for a house again? Didn't you tell you clearly last time, why are you here?"

The second uncle snorted coldly, "Xiaodong, you are really getting more and more unruly. Although you haven't gone to college, is this how you were educated in the army? Is this how you talk to your elders?"

Zhao Dong sneered, "Respect? Who is it to share with? Are you worthy?"

It's not that he's unfilial, it's that he doesn't have the slightest affection for this second uncle who only accepts money.

The second uncle blew his beard and stared angrily, but he didn't know what to do with Zhao Dong, so he turned his attention to Zhao's mother, "Brother left early, sister-in-law, this is how you educate your children? Look, he has become a child in recent years." What is it like? Crazy, unreasonable, arrogant!"

Mother Zhao's voice was gentle, "Xiaodong, don't behave badly with your second uncle, he is your elder!"

Zhao Dong is very stubborn in front of outsiders, he doesn't listen to anyone, but he is an exception in front of his mother.

Perhaps it was because she had no father since she was a child, which made her respect and fear her mother. As long as he is in front of her mother, he has great ability and temper, so he has to be obedient and never dare to disobey.

Seeing that Zhao Dong restrained his aura, Zhao Qing dared to open his mouth, "Dad, you forgot, I told you that my cousin has already been discharged from the army."

The second uncle was stunned for a moment, he really has a bad memory recently, "When did it happen?"

Zhao Qing held back the topic and said, "It's been three or four months, maybe they were sent back by the army?"

Zhao's mother raised her eyebrows, "Xiaodong is your cousin, your father can say a few words about him, what right do you have to say about him?"

Zhao Qing said in an unconvinced tone, "Auntie, you must have been hospitalized during this period, so you must not know about it? My cousin didn't find a serious job after he retired from the army, and he worked as a security guard for others in the community!"

Zhao Dong didn't make any excuses, because he was afraid that his mother would be worried, so he didn't tell her about it, and he didn't even tell her about breaking up with Shu Qing.

Mother Zhao didn't ask too much, "What's the matter with the security guard? If you don't steal or rob, is it possible that you, a college student, will be ashamed of it?"

Zhao Qing shrunk his neck, and didn't reply for a while. He was afraid of Mother Zhao since he was a child. Although he looked kindly, when he became serious, he felt something that he couldn't explain clearly, and he didn't even dare to look at it.

The girlfriend beside him was unhappy, "Auntie, what you said is wrong. If it's glorious to be a security guard, why should Xiaoqing and I go to college? Why don't we all go to security guards!"

Mother Zhao's tone became serious, "Yes, he is not educated enough and can't do certain jobs, but if he didn't defend his family and country outside, throwing his head and blood, how would you have a quiet time in college? I don't allow you to slander the soldiers , and you are not allowed to slander a soldier who has dedicated his youth to the country!"

Mother Zhao's voice fell, and there was no sound in the ward.

The girl couldn't say no to Zhao's mother, and turned her head with a disdainful expression.

Zhao Qing smiled awkwardly, but did not speak.

Zhao Dong has always been her pride. If these people slander the boss, she may still hold back, but if someone dares to slander Zhao Dong, she will definitely not be able to bear it.

The second uncle coughed at this time, "Sister-in-law, we are talking about serious business, why are the soldiers involved? No one here dares to insult the soldiers, and Xiaoqing and Xiaolan didn't mean that."

Zhao Qing added, "That's right, Auntie, I didn't mean that."

While talking, he gave his girlfriend a hint, today is to talk about the house, how can we quarrel in advance because of such a small thing?

Xiaolan refused to give in, and muttered, "What's so great about a stinking soldier?"

The voice of this sentence was not low, and it happened that everyone could hear it clearly.

Mother Zhao took a deep breath, "Please leave, I don't want to talk about the house today."

The second uncle got up angrily and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you fussing about with the two children?"

Zhao Dong took half a step forward, "My mother asked you to leave, didn't you hear?"

The eldest brother also added, "Second uncle, today is the day my mother is discharged from the hospital. Let's talk about anything later. We are all a family. There is nothing we can't discuss."

Zhao Dong was even angrier when he heard this. His mother had been ill for more than two months and stayed in the hospital for nearly a month.

During recuperation, surgery, and convalescence, the second uncle's family didn't even have a basic phone call, let alone visit.

It's a good day today, I heard that my mother came out of the hospital and came here to ask for a house, isn't this sincerely making things difficult for others!
