Zhou Guofu looked puzzled: "Haven't you always been talking about having a grandchild? If we meet earlier, maybe we can get married and have children earlier. Why do you think it's too early now?"
Zhou Chen also looked at Sun Yi in surprise.
Sun Yi: "I want to have a grandchild sooner, but I hope Xiaochen can be happy more. He and Xiaoguan have only been dating for a short time, and I think it's too early for both parents to meet now."
Zhou Chen understood her concerns, so he advised: "Mom, I have thought this through carefully. Guan Guan and I have a good relationship. I have also observed her for a long time and feel that she is the other half I need. When it comes to relationships, it doesn't mean that the longer you are together, the better. Sometimes, cutting the Gordian knot may not be a bad thing."
Zhou Guofu agreed, "Son, I support you on this point. I have taught students for so many years, and I still have a good eye for people. Xiaoguan is a decent person. She may not be as good as those female elites in society, but she should be a child who can take care of the family."
Seeing that her husband and son both agreed, Sun Yi nodded and said, "Okay, I am also quite satisfied with Xiaoguan, but I don't know what her parents are like."
Marriage is not just a matter between two people, it also involves two families. If she encounters an unreasonable family, she will definitely not agree.
A family of three was waiting at the elevator entrance. The elevator came down from the 22nd floor. As soon as the door opened, they saw a person standing inside.
"Zhou Chen, uncle, aunt."
When Andy saw Zhou Chen and the other two, his eyes suddenly lit up and he greeted the Zhou couple enthusiastically.
The Zhou couple was startled at first, but then they smiled and greeted Andy: "Miss He, are you going out?"
"Yes, I made an appointment with a friend today, and he is waiting downstairs."
Andy answered the question, then asked curiously, "Auntie, are you guys going out too?"
Sun Yi smiled and said, "Yes, Xiaochen is dating your upstairs neighbor Xiaoguan. Xiaoguan's parents are coming over today, so we'll arrange to meet them. If Miss He is free, you can come along."
She was not being polite, but she felt that Andy was Zhou Chen's biological sister, and maybe she could give some advice if she met Guan Juer's parents.
After hearing this, Andy naturally wanted to go, but when he thought about the fact that his relationship with Zhou Chen had not been made public, he was not eligible to attend such a dinner at this time, so he refused.
"I'm sorry, Auntie, I really have an appointment today."
Sun Yi said regretfully: "That's such a pity."
Listening to the conversation between his mother and Andy, Zhou Chen's heart moved slightly. He felt that something was not right. Andy had not moved in long ago. Although they had to go up and down the stairs, he knew the personalities of his parents and Andy, and they should not be able to get along so quickly. Something must have happened.
The elevator quickly reached the first floor. Several people walked out of the elevator. Zhou Chen glanced around and saw Wei Wei standing in the corridor.
Wei Wei first called out to Andy, then greeted Zhou Chen, "Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Chen responded indifferently: "Mr. Wei, I'm sorry, we have something urgent to do today, so we'll leave first."
"Ok."
After watching Zhou Chen and the other two leave, Wei Wei turned around and saw Andy looking at their departing backs with a strange look, his brows slightly frowned.
"Andy, let's go."
Andy came back to his senses and said, "Yeah."
"That Mr. Zhou also lives here?"
Wei Wei asked Andy as he walked.
Andy said, "No, he doesn't live here, but his parents live downstairs from me."
"You two look familiar."
"He is Xiaoguan's boyfriend. We have had meals together several times. Just yesterday, he even invited several of our upstairs neighbors to his home."
Wei Wei pretended to be surprised and asked, "Really? This Zhou Chen looks extraordinary, so he should not be a simple person, right?"
Andy smiled unconsciously and said, "Well, he is indeed a genius."
Andy's reaction made Wei Wei frown again. As a person who was good at analyzing people's psychology, he always felt that Andy's attitude towards Zhou Chen seemed unusual.
Zhou Chen drove his parents to the hotel quickly.
After the parents of both sides met, they greeted each other very politely and then sat down separately.
At the dinner table, the atmosphere was a bit awkward at the beginning, but with Zhou Chen's help, the two sides quickly became familiar with each other.
Father Zhou and Father Guan have already started toasting and chatting happily. Zhou Guofu is a university professor with a very high level of education and excellent speaking skills; Father Guan is also a small leader who has met all kinds of people, so the two of them are chatting very happily.
On the other hand, the two mothers, Sun Yi and Guan's mother, were not like the men who could quickly get to know each other after drinking a few glasses of wine. Instead, they were testing each other.
Sun Yi praised her son, and Guan's mother praised her daughter. They seemed to be smiling on the surface, but neither of them gave in while talking, and both tried their best to express that their son (daughter) was excellent.
Zhou Chen had seen many such scenes before.
In-laws are said to be very close, but for most of them it is difficult to get really close. It is okay between men, but it is really difficult for women to get along with each other.
In fact, this is very normal, because both parties stand at different perspectives and naturally have different views. It is really difficult to get close to each other.
Zhou Chen was used to it, but Guan Juer had never experienced it. She wanted to stop her mother from speaking several times, but was stopped by Zhou Chen every time.
In fact, the two mothers seem to be a little "sword-like", but in fact they have no ill intentions. Both are strong mothers, and it is difficult for one to submit to the other.
However, although there was some disagreement between the two mothers at the beginning, the final result was still very good. At least both sides were quite satisfied with each other.
The two fathers in particular seemed to have hit it off right away, and were both half drunk.
After the dinner, Zhou Chen asked the driver to take his parents home, while he accompanied Guan's father and mother to rest in the hotel for a while, and then sent them to the train station in the evening.
Originally Zhou Chen wanted to send them home, after all, the distance was not far, but Guan's father and mother firmly disagreed, saying that they had already bought the tickets, so in the end he could only send them to the station.
Before leaving, Guan's mother held her daughter's hand and whispered to her, while Guan's father also spoke some of his inner thoughts to Zhou Chen with a serious expression.
"Xiao Zhou, you are a good child. Uncle believes that you are serious about Guan Guan. I support you, so don't let uncle down. You must take good care of Guan Guan and treat her well, otherwise uncle will not forgive you."
Perhaps he was still a little drunk, for Guan's father's tone became a little stern at the end of his speech.
Zhou Chen said seriously: "Uncle, don't worry, I really want to be with Guan Guan, and I will definitely marry her and treat her well, you can rest assured."
He doesn't think he is a perfect man, but he has always been very good to his woman. Even if they occasionally have conflicts and quarrels, he will never let his woman down.
"Okay, uncle believes in you. Although you are young, you will be much more successful than uncle. Guan Guan is a little spoiled by us, but I believe you can handle the relationship between you two well."
Guan's mother also said something to her daughter. After meeting Zhou Chen and his parents today, she was quite satisfied. At least Zhou Chen's parents were not unreasonable people. If they could really be together, her parents-in-law would not make things difficult for their daughter.
The only thing she was worried about was Zhou Chen's identity. Zhou Chen was too rich, so rich that it seemed unreal. It was natural for a man who was so rich to make people worried.
"Guan Guan, Mom still says the same thing, don't force yourself. If you really feel pressured, letting go may not be a bad thing."
Guan Ju'er was very upset when she heard her mother's words. She didn't understand why her mother would still say such things at this time.
"Mom, I'm really grown up. I'm not a child anymore. Don't always treat me like a child."
"You kid."
Guan's mother wanted to say something more, but when she saw her daughter's expression and eyes, she could only sigh heavily.
"Mom won't say much, but you have to remember that you are a girl, so you should be more reserved. Reserved girls will be more respected by men."
Although Guan Juer had a bit of a temper, she also knew that her mother was doing it for her own good, so she responded kindly, "I know, Mom."
"Uncle, aunt, take care."
"Dad, Mom, call me when you get home."
Zhou Chen and Guan Juer sent Guan's parents to the ticket gate and waved goodbye to them.
Guan's father held his wife's hand, watching her waving her hand non-stop with a look of reluctance on her face, and comforted her: "Wife, don't think too much, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, and our daughter has grown up so much, we can't take care of her for the rest of her life, and I think Xiao Zhou is a good person, and Brother Zhou and Sister Sun are also very nice. If our daughter really marries him, she won't be wronged."
"Whether you are wronged or not is not up to you to decide."
Guan's mother wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Who knows what will happen to a wealthy family like the Zhou family? Our Guan Guan is so innocent, I am afraid that she will suffer."
"You always have wild thoughts. When Guan Guan was not in a relationship, you wanted to arrange a blind date for her every day. Now that she is in a relationship and has found such an outstanding boyfriend, you are full of suspicion. I think you really think too much."
"I'm doing this for my daughter."
"Yes, you are doing this for our daughter, and so am I, but that is why we have to relax."
"It's easy to say, but my daughter is a piece of my flesh and blood. I can't bear to see her suffer any injustice."
"Ugh……"

Chapter 438 Guan Guan’s Awakening, Zhou Chen’s Gift
After seeing her parents off, Guan Juer happily took Zhou Chen's arm and walked out of the train station.
"Where are we going now?"
"How about we go to the movies first, then have dinner, and then go home together?"
"Go home together?"
Guan Juer's cheeks suddenly turned red. She couldn't help but think of the absurdity of the past two days and her face was full of shyness.
"No, no, I have to go to work tomorrow. I can't, I can't go to your place."
Zhou Chen held Guan Juer's head, kissed her on the head, stroked her cheek and said, "It's okay, I can drive you there tomorrow."
Guan Juer's face turned red due to Zhou Chen's teasing, and her breathing became much heavier. She quickly grabbed Zhou Chen's big hand.
"No, I'd better go back to Ode to Joy so I can go to work with Sister Andy in the morning."
"Why, you don't want to come with me?"
"No, I've just been very busy at work lately, and I'm afraid being with you would distract me and prevent me from doing my job well."
Although she already knew that Zhou Chen was the boss of Chenxing Group and was very rich, Guan Juer had never thought of relying on Zhou Chen in the future. She still cherished her current job very much.
Zhou Chen knew that Guan Juer was still a relatively innocent girl who didn't understand the ways of the world very well and wasn't very good at taking jokes, so he didn't continue teasing her.
"Well, it's good to be ambitious, but don't overwork yourself, okay?"
He would never force his woman to give up her job. Some women like to be housewives, but some women like to work outside.
For him, whether his woman is at home or at work, as long as she can grasp the right balance, he will not force it.
"Guan Guan, it's not good for you to always ride in Andy's car. Why don't you drive one from my parking lot?"
"No, your car is too expensive. I don't dare drive it."
Guan Juer was indeed a little hesitant to open it, but part of the reason was that she didn't want to rely on Zhou Chen. After all, if there was a first time, there would be a second time and many times.
If she really married Zhou Chen, she would definitely not refuse, but now they are just boyfriend and girlfriend.
"OK then."
Zhou Chen did not force it, but he already had an idea in his mind.
"Let's go, let's go watch a movie first."
The happy time passed quickly, and Zhou Chen drove Guan Juer back to Ode to Joy. He did not go to live with his parents, but went to his own villa.
He needs to go on a business trip tomorrow and has to leave early in the morning, so in order not to disturb his parents, he does not plan to stay at Ode to Joy.
Guan Juer got up early in the morning. After falling in love with Zhou Chen, she began to pay special attention to her figure and appearance.
She used to work out with Andy in the morning, but then she got lazy and didn't stick with it.
But after falling in love with Zhou Chen, especially after knowing how outstanding he was, she made up her mind to make herself a better person. So she worked hard to change her habit of sleeping in and started to get up early to exercise.
Before she finished a lap, Guan Juer saw Andy running towards her and called out happily, "Sister Andy."
Andy stopped, took a few breaths, and asked in surprise: "Xiao Guan, why are you here so early today?"
Having been neighbors with Guan Juer for such a long time and often working together, she knows Guan Juer quite well.
Guan Juer is indeed a good girl, but she is a little timid and lacks self-discipline, otherwise she would not give up halfway.
Today, she saw Guan Juer got up earlier than her, which really surprised her.
Guan Juer said embarrassedly: "I just feel that I was too lazy before. From today on, I will work hard to adjust myself."
"Ambitious."
Andy gave a thumbs up in admiration, and then said, "Let's do it together."
"Okay, Sister Andy."
Andy slowed down his running and talked to Guan Juer.
"Xiao Guan, when I went out yesterday, I met Zhou Chen and his parents. I heard that they went to meet your parents?"
"Yes, my parents came to the Magic City yesterday. After my uncle and aunt found out, they made an appointment to meet with my parents."
"It looks like they had a good chat, right?"
Guan Juer smiled: "Well, Uncle Zhou and Aunt Sun are both good people. They talked to my parents smoothly, and my parents didn't stop me from dating Zhou Chen."
