Chapter 237 235. Meeting 30 Years Late
"Then I'll go back first. Uncle, if you have anything to do, call me anytime."

After a brief lunch with Liu Xin'an and his son, Pei Zhuxuan glanced at the time, stood up, and said politely to Liu Zhengjiang.

Liu Zhengjiang had already eaten, and it was time for rest and digestion, so he nodded: "Go and work, Xin'an will send Zhuxuan off."

"okay."

Liu Xin'an nodded and stood up with Pei Zhuxuan.

Then seeing Pei Zhuxuan bowing goodbye to his father at the door, he didn't know what he was thinking, and bowed along with him in a strange way.

This made Liu Zhengjiang dumbfounded. To be honest, he had never seen his son so honest.

It was definitely unrealistic to send Pei Zhuxuan to the company, so Liu Xin'an just followed Pei Zhuxuan into the elevator, and then sent this person to the underground garage.

"boom"

"boom"

"boom"

The muffled sound of the small hand hitting the coat revealed Miss Pei Zhuxuan's mood at this time.

She didn't have time to argue with this person when she went to the supermarket just now, and now that she is leaving, she decided to talk to Liu Xin'an properly.

And Liu Xin'an, who was wronged, also knew why his girlfriend was hammering him angrily now. Although it didn't hurt, if he wanted to calm down this person, he had to put on a pitiful expression.

"I'm sorry Joohyun, I'm too self-righteous."

The place where she was angry was naturally that Liu Xin'an didn't tell her about Liu Zhengjiang's coming here in advance.

This is the boyfriend's father. As a woman, how could it be said that she didn't even go to pick him up?

Even if uncle understands that her work needs to be kept secret, and that it's best not to go to places that are particularly exposed, such as the airport, then she should solemnly express her wish.

This is a very important etiquette issue.

Pei Zhuxuan knew that Liu Xin'an was afraid that she would go to the airport with him in a whimper, and she also felt that Liu Xin'an cared and cared about her, but this was not the reason for this person to hide such things.

Fortunately, I know now, if Pei Zhuxuan finds out about it someday in the future, maybe it will be really awkward for a while.

"In the future, there will be things about uncles, aunts and Cheng Lu's parents. You can't hide it from me."

After beating for a while, Pei Zhuxuan lowered his head and said softly.

"Well, I'm sorry, I won't hide this kind of thing from you in the future, and you can't hide it from me when uncle and aunt come over."

"What do I hide from you, when the time comes, you still have to pick up my parents, drive them out to play, treat them to dinner, and do everything."

"Yes yes yes." Liu Xin'an smiled and agreed to everything.

Pei Zhuxuan was just angry, angry at him for not clarifying this in advance.

Soon, she got into her car.

The window of the driver's seat was slowly lowered, and Pei Zhuxuan, who was sitting in the driver's seat, held the steering wheel with both hands, and part of the mask on his face was pulled down, revealing that beautiful face.

She looked up at Liu Xin'an, and after thinking for a few seconds, she still pursed her lips and waved at him.

After the sound of "Bo~", Liu Xin'an showed a somewhat silly smile.

"I'm going to the company first. If you have anything to do, you must contact me at any time, you know?"

"Don't worry, I won't do such a thing without telling you again, this time I really thought it was too simple, I'm sorry, Joohyun."

"Forget it, I don't blame you. I also know that you are thinking about me. Well, I'll go first. When are you and uncle going to Auntie's place?"

"I guess it will take a while, and I will tell you when I go."

Pei Zhuxuan nodded, looked up at Liu Xinan's ear again, then blushed, and the car window slowly raised.

"Let's go."

After a brisk farewell sound, Pei Zhuxuan started the car and gradually disappeared from Liu Xin'an's sight.

Soon, Liu Xin'an returned home.

Liu Zhengjiang was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, holding the remote control and pressing it non-stop.

He has learned Korean over the years. Although his accent is definitely not as good as that of people who have lived here all year round, it is not difficult for him to read the most basic communication.

Don't underestimate a man's determination to work hard for the woman he loves.

The hardworking gene passed down in one continuous line of the Liu family is not empty-handed.

"What time shall we go, Dad."

"Let us go there in the afternoon. Your mother seems to have gone out with your uncle."

Thinking of the phone call he made to Pu Zhenshu not long ago, Liu Zhengjiang couldn't control the smile on his face.

He even heard his brother-in-law's helpless laughter when his wife said that they would meet later.

Everyone is an adult, just from that smile, Liu Zhengjiang can tell that his brother-in-law is actually similar to him.

What Pei Zhuxuan said was right, that Park Zhenying was the same as him, a man who was full of love for Pu Zhenshu.

It's just that he is love, and the other party is family affection.

But this is only a difference in method, fundamentally they are the same kind of people.

So. He is actually not as nervous as he was at the beginning.

"How many days do you meet Joohyun now?"

"The two of us? About three days, what's the matter, Dad."

"When she gets busy in the future, if you don't see each other for a month or two, how do you plan to resolve it?"

"I..." Liu Xin'an subconsciously prepared to answer, but after seeing his father's serious expression, he seemed to understand something, "Dad, don't worry about me too much, don't you know who I am?"

He couldn't hold back his loneliness to do some strange things, how could he do such things.

"I still have games."

".Too lazy to complain about you, it's thanks to you that you met Zhuxuan, otherwise I really doubt whether you will spend your whole life with the game."

"Honestly. Possibly."

"Fuck off."

The old man's reprimand made Liu Xin'an cheerfully "roll" into the workshop.

get to work get to work!
Two days of practice has taught Liu Xin'an a lot of skills about stone clay.

In one afternoon, a "little rabbit" that he looked satisfied with gradually took shape in his hands.

Ah, of course, there is no coloring, no sanding, just kneading out the shape of a rabbit, and there is still a long way to go before it is really finished.

But even so, he felt a sense of accomplishment.

Carefully put the "little rabbit" on the tray, and then went out with the tray.

"Dad, can you see what this is?"

Liu Zhengjiang, who was watching TV, subconsciously looked at Liu Xin'an, then stared at the tray in Liu Xin'an's hand and the strange lump on the tray, in a daze.

"What's this? Plasticine?"

"Like, can you see what I've done?"

"." Liu Zhengjiang became serious. Obviously, he needed to answer correctly to increase Liu Xin'an's self-confidence. After all, he was a father and son. He knew that his son liked to hear compliments from others.

In other words, he had to guess right!

but.
Liu Xin'an didn't give any hints, he was really confused.

".Is it an animal?"

"Oh! Can you see that?"

"A little bit, there are still some gaps, but it is already very good. Why, why do you suddenly want to do handwork?"

Liu Zhengjiang started to practice Tai Chi, anyway, he had already guessed the general direction, as long as he gave a simple guide, Liu Xin'an would figure out that he had already answered the correct answer.

The fact is exactly the same, Liu Xin'an didn't think too much, but seriously answered his father's question.

"I've been dating Joohyun for 100 days, and I want to give her something as a present."

"Well, a proper little romance is necessary, and you're right about it."

"Then I will continue to work. You sit down and call me if you have something to do."

"Row."

Busy time always flies by quickly.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Xin'an officially parked the car downstairs of his uncle's house.

According to the old rules, visiting etiquette is very important, so after getting off the car, Liu Xin'an hurried to the trunk to carry things.

There are not many things, and they are not expensive. They are more about expressing your own feelings.

Liu Zhengjiang also carried a bag of eggs, and turned to look at Liu Xin'an who was carrying milk beside him.

"How many floors?"

"24 floors."

Walk into the elevator, press the corresponding floor, and the elevator will rise slowly.

Looking at the constantly changing numbers, Liu Zhengjiang simply arranged his clothes, then looked at the reflection on the elevator wall, and checked his appearance.

"Are you nervous, Dad?"

Liu Zhengjiang coughed and did not deny it.

He is far inferior to Liu Xin'an in this regard, social experience does not play a big role at this time.

He went to see Park Zhenying as "Pu Zhenshu's husband", nothing else.

So those unnecessary panache are useless at this time.

It is also impossible for him to see Park Zhenying, the first thing he does is take a business card and declare himself.
"How about I introduce you?"

"Go, what does this sound like?"

Liu Zhengjiang's expression was slightly moved, probably because he was amused by his son's jokes.

While the two were chatting, the elevator came to the floor where the uncle's house was located.

With a bang, the door slowly opened.

Liu Xin'an followed behind Liu Zhengjiang, and then lightly pressed the doorbell.

Footsteps sounded, the door slowly opened, and my uncle's face in Chinese characters appeared in front of me and my father.

He first smiled at Liu Xin'an, and then his eyes fell on Liu Xin'an, a mature and refined man who was hard to ignore just by standing aside.

Then, he smiled again, a smile that narrowed his small eyes.

The two ages are not very different, but the brother-in-law and brother-in-law who met for the first time in real life finally met after 30 years of Pu Zhenshu's marriage.

"Brother-in-law!"

Liu Zhengjiang nodded, smiled and stretched out his hand to hold each other's hand: "Hello, Zhenying."

"It's so"

"Speaking first, I knew you two had to greet each other at the door, Liu Zhengjiang! This is my younger brother, don't act like an official!"

Pu Zhenshu suddenly appeared from the side, interrupting the conversation between her husband and younger brother. She glanced at Liu Xin'an, motioned Liu Xin'an to come in, and angrily accused the two men who loved her the most in her life.

Liu Xin'an entered the door cheerfully, and then hugged the excited little Youen who ran over, but Youyun was as shy as ever, hiding behind his aunt, staring at him cautiously.

Although she had a lot of fun with this brother a few days ago, the "happiness" in her heart has a shelf life.

Obviously, the current Liu Xin'an has become an unfamiliar stranger to her.

Liu Xin'an needs to re-strategize.

After he came in, father, uncle, and mother also walked in.

Liu Xin'an, who is familiar with his father, can still see his father's nervousness, and Liu Xin'an believes that his mother has also noticed this.

He hurriedly sat on the sofa, looking at everything in front of him with great interest.

To be honest, he felt that he was much better than his father when he went to Pei Zhuxuan's house.

"Then what, brother-in-law, thank you for taking care of her like you didn't care about her status back then."

Park Zhenying stood in front of Liu Zhengjiang and said very seriously.

For his younger brother, he was extremely lucky that his sister could meet such an excellent man.

At that time, he was only about 20 years old, and he did not consider the consequences of doing things at all.

It wasn't until he sent his sister on board that he suddenly realized how much trouble his actions would bring to her.

But at that time, it was too late to think about it, and the ship had already left, even if he cried and grabbed the ground, it was useless.

Fortunately, Pu Zhenshu did not meet any bad people, and not only did she not meet any bad people, but she also met a man who was willing to believe in her and accept her.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a story that only happens in novels or movies.

Based on this alone, Park Zhenying is really grateful to her brother-in-law.

He stretched out his hands, as if he was about to kneel down.

This kind of kindness is not an exaggeration for a Korean.

However, this incident was still too shocking for Liu Zhengjiang, a Huaxia native.

Pei Zhuxuan did the same thing during the New Year, but it was her son's girlfriend after all, so a salute was enough.

But now this is my brother-in-law, and he is not much different in age, a middle-aged man who is over 50 this year.
"Hey, no need, I don't need so many rules in Huaxia, just drink two more glasses with me at night!"

Liu Zhengjiang hurriedly supported Park Zhenying who was about to kneel down, and said hastily.

Then, he glanced at his wife, and motioned Pu Zhenshu not to just look at her, but hurriedly said a few words.

Only then did Pu Zhenshu put away her joking mood, and followed her to persuade her younger brother.

"Okay, you're making your brother-in-law very awkward, follow Huaxia's rules, just drink two more glasses."

"Okay! If you don't get drunk today, you won't go home. Xin'an won't force you. Today is an adult's party. It doesn't matter if you want to go back first."

Park Zhenying looked at Liu Xin'an, and after thinking for a few seconds, she still didn't put pressure on her nephew.

Young people are very busy, and young people generally don't like the drinking of middle-aged people like them.

There is no need to say that Liu Xin'an should drink with them here.

These words also let Liu Xin'an breathe a sigh of relief, mainly because he really doesn't have enough time, there are too many backlogs of things at hand recently, and he hasn't made the gift for the 100-day anniversary that is close at hand.

He is not the kind of person who likes to delay things. If he can't prepare this gift within this week, he will really feel uneasy.

"I may have to go back at night, I have a lot of things to do."

"What's the matter, what's the matter?" Pu Zhenshu asked curiously.

Liu Xin'an was silent, thinking whether to tell the truth, but the next second his father's light voice made him smile helplessly.

"He's preparing a gift for his girlfriend, and he's busy now."

"dad!"

"Gift. Ah! Irene's birthday is coming soon, isn't it?"

"Uncle, do you even remember this?"

Liu Xin'an looked shocked. Although his uncle is the owner of the brokerage company, he can understand this kind of thing when he remembers the birthdays of Twice members. How can he still remember Pei Zhuxuan's birthday.

Park Zhenying was cheerful, and hooked his nephew's shoulder affectionately: "Ah, this is my nephew's wife, can I not care?"

Very good, this reason is very appropriate, Liu Xin'an nodded quickly, with a smile on his face.

This level of banter doesn't embarrass him.

"What are you going to give Erin?"

"An ornament made by myself is more about my heart."

"Tsk, if this man wants to give something to a woman."

"Cough cough." Aunt coughed suddenly, causing Park Zhenying to shrink his neck. He showed a polite but not awkward smile to Liu Xin'an, who had a strange expression, and stretched out his big hand to pat him on the shoulder.

"Okay, let's experience it for ourselves."

"???"

---

When two old foxes meet, it is very easy to get acquainted.

Especially after the initial tension faded away, Liu Zhengjiang gradually recovered his most natural state, that unmoving temperament made Park Zhenying look sideways.

But these are not important to Liu Xin'an, let the previous generation play with their own affairs, all he has to do is finish eating and enjoy themselves.

The gift is not finished yet!

Considering driving, none of the elders gave him alcohol, so Liu Xin'an could get in the car naturally, put on his earphones and call his girlfriend first.

Pei Zhuxuan had been waiting for this call since she returned to the dormitory, and she answered it in a hurry when the phone rang.

"Hi! How's it going? Did uncle meet uncle?"

Liu Xin'an gave a "hmm", and then his face was full of curiosity, because he found a very interesting point.

"How come you can naturally call uncle Uncle in front of me, but why do you call him Senior Park Zhenying in front of my father?"

"Yeah! Is that important?"

"Of course, shouldn't you also call my dad dad?"

"ah!!"

Pei Zhuxuan on the other side of the phone became angry from embarrassment. In fact, she also wanted to call her parents with Liu Xin'an, but what should I say.
Only Park Zhenying told her, don't be too nervous, just follow Liu Xin'an and call him uncle.

But Liu Xin'an's parents never said such a thing.

The elder didn't let go, so how dare she talk nonsense?
"Uncles and aunts didn't agree. How dare I say that." After being irritable, Pei Zhuxuan's voice became cautious.

"Uh, why didn't you agree? Didn't I give you money during the Chinese New Year?"

".what?"

Pei Zhuxuan was dumbfounded. She did receive a red envelope from Liu Xin'an's parents during the New Year, but wasn't that the lucky money?
Before coming here, she searched for Chinese New Year's customs, and knew that New Year's money is distributed here.

What does that money have to do with titles?
