Urban Hidden Dragon

Chapter 981 Distant Relatives
When the sister-in-law was gone, Zhao Dong worriedly grabbed her, "Don't regret it, the relatives in my hometown can't even handle it with me."

Sophie asked back, "What are you afraid of?"

"Since I am the daughter-in-law of your Zhao family, these are what I should bear."

"Besides, you Zhao Dong married such a beautiful daughter-in-law, isn't it just to look good?"

"If I hide out, where will you get the glory?"

Zhao Dong coughed, "Look at what you said, how could I have such narrow thoughts?"

"Besides, are you praising me or yourself?"

Sophie blinked, "Don't care who you praise!"

"I really don't have such an idea? Then let's go out to eat, I've changed my mind."

Zhao Dong hastily pulled him back, "Don't, I've said it all, so I won't let my sister-in-law laugh at me?"

Sophie took him by the arm, and said angrily, "Virtue!"

Zhao Dong smiled and led Sophie back home.

Zhao Xiaoman was the first to shout: "Second Uncle is back!"

Everyone in the room looked over.

The eldest brother Zhang Luo said: "Xiaodong, it's just in time for you to come back."

"Who is that? Yongjie from my hometown is here. I'll let them eat first. He insists on waiting for you to come back!"

Sophie followed suit.

On the sofa, sat two men, one old and one young.

The older ones should be about 50 years old, and the younger ones should be about 30 years old.

At first glance, he came from his hometown. His behavior, words and deeds were all cautious, and his clothes were very simple.

Seeing Zhao Dong enter the room, the two men hurriedly stood up.

Zhao Dong waved his hand and said politely, "Oh, Yongjie is here, sit down!"

Sophie frowned. Although she came from a rich family, she didn't have the idea of ​​dislike the poor and love the rich.

Therefore, there is no instinctive rejection of people from their hometown.

But Zhao Dong's tone made her a little confused.

Obviously Zhao Dong was not very old, so he insisted on putting on an old-fashioned tone, why put on airs?
On the other hand, mother Zhao and elder brother didn't say anything.

Sophie couldn't say anything, so she could only stand obediently.

The elder stretched out his hand and said kindly, "Second Uncle is back!"

"Second uncle, when you got married some time ago, we were working outside, so I couldn't attend your wedding in time. I'm really sorry."

Zhao Dong shook hands with him, "We are all a family, why are you polite? Sit down!"

Sophie froze on the spot, as if petrified.

The older man in his fifties, with a big beard and gray hair, who was about the same age as her parents, called Zhao Dong Second Uncle?

God, how did Zhao Dong have such a seniority?
Then what did he have to call himself?
When Sophie was in a daze, the other party had already looked over, "Oh, this is Second Aunt, right? She looks so pretty!"

"It looks like a movie star, no wonder the relatives in my hometown say that the second uncle is capable, and the daughter-in-law he marries is like a fairy!"

Sophie didn't know how to respond, she was at a loss in embarrassment, and all the words she had prepared were useless.

With a stiff smile on her face, she politely extended her hand, "You... hello!"

The man wiped his hands on his body before handing them over.

He didn't dare to hold it firmly, and took it back with a light touch.

Seeing that the man beside him was still in a daze, he kicked him, and reprimanded unhappily: "Why don't you know how to call someone for a worthless thing? What are you doing in a daze, you coward!"

Only then did the young man come to his senses, first he looked at Zhao Dong, "Second Uncle!"

When he looked at Sophie, his cheeks blushed, "Second uncle!"

Sophie was a little embarrassed at first, but now she was so teased that she couldn't speak.

To be honest, she has seen a lot of shy men since she was a child.

But it was the first time I saw her face turn red like this just by looking at her!
Most importantly, because of Zhao Dong's relationship, her seniority is surprisingly high.

It's hard to describe the feeling of being called a second uncle by a man in his 30s!

Sophie was even thinking, should she give a red envelope?
She has no experience in dealing with this kind of thing at all, but Zhao Dong helped Sophie resolve the embarrassment in time, "Sit down and chat while eating."

After Sophie sat down, she pinched Zhao Dong severely under the table, as if complaining that Zhao Dong didn't communicate with her in time.

Zhao Dong cast an aggrieved look, but there was no abnormality in his expression.

……

A few men chatted while eating, while Sophie poured wine and didn't talk too much.

Chatting, the atmosphere during the meeting was not bad.

Halfway through the banquet, Zhao Yongjie raised a glass, "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, I respect you for this glass of wine, and wish you a happy life together forever!"

Zhao Dong also clinked glasses, and found a topic to talk about: "Xiao Chuang is not too young, is there anyone?"

Zhao Yongjie put down his wine glass, "Second Uncle, to tell you the truth, I'm here today just for this..."

Zhao Dong smiled, "You don't want me to introduce a girlfriend to Xiao Chuang, do you?"

"Don't worry about it, I have a suitable one, and I will help you pay attention!"

Zhao Yongjie glanced sideways, "Second Uncle, that's not necessary, Xiao Chuang is quite competitive, and already has a girlfriend!"

Zhao Dong smiled, "Really? This is a good thing!"

Zhao Yongjie also laughed, "No, the relationship between the two is quite stable, and they plan to get married soon."

Zhao Dong guessed the intention of the other party's visit, and echoed, "Is the date set? When the time comes, you give me a message, and I will definitely go to the wedding."

Zhao Yongjie hesitated to speak, "Second Uncle, I'm worrying about this!"

The elder brother drank a few more glasses, and then said: "Yongjie, are you in any trouble? If you have something to say, you are all a family and can help. We will definitely not sit idly by!"

After the sister-in-law came back, she happened to hear this, and reprimanded her with an unhappy face: "Zhao Da, you're drunk again, aren't you?"

"You care, what do you care about?"

"Let me take care of your own affairs first, you old man, you haven't got a job yet!"

The eldest brother was a little embarrassed to come down from the stage, so he glared, "What do you mean by that..."

The sister-in-law ignored it, "Yongjie, he drank too much, don't take it seriously."

As she spoke, she sat down beside Sophie, and then stepped on her elder brother under the table.

The atmosphere during the dinner was a little awkward.

When the matter came to an end, since he said it, Zhao Dong couldn't pretend that he didn't hear it, so he simply said, "Yongjie, what's the matter, can you tell me?"

Zhao Yongjie put down his wine glass and briefly introduced the situation. At the time when his son was discussing marriage, the woman put forward a condition, saying that she would have a house in Tianzhou.

The house in Tianzhou is expensive or not, but if it is cheap, it is definitely not cheap. This is why he has made trouble.

Zhao Dong didn't express his opinion immediately, he is not a good person, not to mention helping the emergency but not the poor, even though the two families are distant relatives, he can't be busy with everything, let alone such a big deal as the house!
He considered his words, "Yongjie, what do you want me to do?"

Zhao Yongjie handed over the cigarette and discussed, "Second Uncle, I won't make things difficult for you."

"I heard from relatives in my hometown that when you got married, Second Aunt had several houses as dowry!"

"Look, can you lend me a set...to give Yongjie a transition first?"
