Chapter 1769: Future Son-in-law? (5)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Why did she feel that Mei Xiaoyue was already on Zhou Zimo’s side? She was basically a mother-in-law looking at her future son-in-law. What was all this?

What had she been doing all afternoon?

Shopping in high-end boutiques. As long as Mei Xiaoyue’s gaze lingered on something for one more second, Zhou Zimo would not hesitate to buy it for her. The trunk of the car was already full.

Qin Su could already imagine the scene of her card being maxed out.

Of course, the money was paid by Zhou Zimo. However, a person like her could not take advantage of others for no reason. Therefore, she was thinking about how to return such a large sum of money to Zhou Zimo.

Qin Su was a very frugal person. Usually, she did not need much money in the army. All her salary was on her card. To her, salary was just a figure. However, she had a lot of things in her hands, they were all left for her by the older generation. She had a few shops and a few plots of land that were not too big. The locations were all pretty good.

Qin Su was also a smart person. She gave the land to someone else and turned it into a few storeys of shops. Renting it out brought her a very generous sum of money every month.

However, she roughly counted the money in her salary card. She did not even know if it was enough to pay for Mei Xiaoyue today.

After Mei Xiaoyue said this, Zhou Zimo also looked at Qin Su with a meaningful look.

Qin Su was calm. She glanced at him and picked up the cutlery. She simply picked up a piece and stuffed it into her mouth to try it.

“How is it?”

Zhou Zimo looked at her from the corner of his eyes and asked in a gentlemanly manner.

“Mmm.”

Qin Su replied and put down the cutlery in her hand. She lowered her head and took a sip of coffee. She looked at the time on her wrist and wiped her mouth with the napkin, “Mother, since you’re fine now, I’ll go back first. You can drive yourself back. I’ve already left a message for Father. I’ll be back at the company just in time for the training to end. I still have things to do.”

“It’s only three o’clock in the afternoon. Why are you in such a hurry? Didn’t you say that you’d be transferred back to the military headquarters? It’s not appropriate for a girl like you to be transferred to the company.”

Mei Xiaoyue said in a low voice.

Qin Su glanced at her, “It’s already three-twenty. It’ll take at least an hour and a half to return to the company from here, and it’s even without the traffic jam. Father will probably be going back now, you should restrain yourself. He’s been very critical recently. He’s under a lot of pressure and has a very short temper.”

“When have I ever not tolerated him? Look at your father’s temper. Why don’t you talk about that?”

Mei Xiaoyue looked at Qin Su with some grievance.

However, Qin Su did not have much patience. She was used to this kind of situation and could not care less about it even if she wanted to, so she let them be. They have quarreled for most of their lives, if they broke down and got a divorce, it might be a relief for them instead. Qin Su even felt that there was no so-called love between her father, Qin Yi, and her mother, Mei Xiaoyue.

“Do as you see fit. I’ll go back first.”

Qin Su obviously did not want to say more. She stood up and looked at Zhou Zimo beside her. After thinking for a while, she stretched out her hand and knocked on the table beside him. She said calmly, “Come out with me.”

As she said that, her thin figure had already walked past his seat.

Zhou Zimo was stunned for a moment. He glanced at her, then smiled and looked at Mei Xiaoyue.

“Aunty, I’ll send Qin Su back to the company first then? I’ll visit again in a few days.”

“Okay, thank you so much for today. Come and visit us when you’re free. I’ll give you my phone number. Remember!”

Mei Xiaoyue was a little reluctant to part with him. The more she looked at Zhou Zimo, the more satisfied she became. She felt like she had fallen in love at first sight with her future son-in-law. She felt that he was very compatible with her daughter, Qin Su.

Look, even that back view looked so harmonious!

At this moment, Mei Xiaoyue’s still charming face was smiling like a flower as she watched the two of them slowly disappear into the stairwell.

Qin Su and Zhou Zimo walked one after the other toward the parking spot. Qin Su walked in front with sonorous steps and was also quite fast. Zhou Zimo followed behind and walked with his long legs. Naturally, he was able to follow Qin Su’s footsteps in a harmonious manner.

It was already past noon. The autumn sun did not seem to be very hot. The autumn wind blew gently, making people feel a soft touch. The golden chrysanthemums on both sides of the sidewalk were already in full bloom, the air was filled with the faint fragrance of chrysanthemums.

After walking for quite a long distance, Qin Su suddenly stopped when she saw a bus stop in front of her. She silently turned around and looked at Zhou Zimo who was following behind her. Her starry eyes were faintly suffused with a clear and cold light.

When Zhou Zimo saw this, he instantly stopped walking. He also lowered his gaze slightly and silently looked at her. He did not say anything.

Qin Su looked at him indifferently. After some thought, she spoke in a low voice. Her voice was naturally hoarse, but to Zhou Zimo’s ears, it sounded very nice. It carried a special coldness that made him want to know more…

“Thank you for today’s matter. My mother is inexperienced and has been in the military all her life. She is also very simple. I’m sorry you had to see that today.”

Qin Su reached into her pocket and quickly took out a black wallet. She opened the wallet and swiftly took out a bank card from it. She handed it to Zhou Zimo and said, “This is the money I’m returning to you. The password is XXXXXX. Take a look for yourself. If it’s not enough, my allowance at the end of the year and my salary for the next few months will add up to a lot. Just put it in the card and I’ll cancel the card after the end of the year.”

After Qin Su said this, Zhou Zimo’s handsome face instantly stiffened. He lowered his gaze and looked at the card in front of him. He did not take it and did not say anything.

“I don’t have any other intentions. This is just my personal principle. Not taking advantage is a form of upbringing. A relationship is a form of upbringing. You should have heard this before. I’m just paying for my mother.”

Qin Su’s tone was sincere.

Zhou Zimo’s eyes dimmed as he listened.

“Take it. The password is XXXXXX. Remember it.”

Qin Su saw that he did not move, so she pulled his hand and stuffed the card into it. “I’m going back now. Goodbye.”

After completing these actions, she turned around and walked straight towards the bus stop sign.

“Qin Su!”

Seeing this, Zhou Zimo quickly took a step forward and grabbed her wrist. There was a hint of anxiety in his low voice. “I’ll send you back, don’t refuse!”
