MTL - I’m the Hero, His Brother, Wear It Quickly-Chapter 352 Stepbrother【07】
Tong Yun almost made her attitude clear, which made Zhu Lin unacceptable. He had been obsessed with it for so many years, and the once youthful first love had already become his obsession.
How could he be willing to give up on this? Zhu Lin pretended he didn't hear what Tong Yun was saying, and begged for reconciliation: "Xiao Yun, when I was under the age of marriage, my family didn't agree with us being together, but eight years later, we can get married directly without caring about them. obstruct."
Tong Yun smiled helplessly, looking at Zhu Lin with complicated eyes: "You are still the same as before."
Zhu Lin said in surprise: "Yes, I have not changed, I have been waiting for you."
Tong Yun said lightly: "No, I mean, you have always been so naive and naive. Do you really think that our family doesn't agree with us being together just because you are under the age of marriage? , But Zhu Lin, real life still needs bread. Where do we live after marriage? Will we have enough money to give our children the best life after having children? The children need school district housing to go to school... And we get the certificate without authorization and can't get the parents The blessings of the family, do you want to cut off the relationship with the family in the future? The two families can't get along, what should I do if there is a conflict? What should you do if my relationship with your father is not good? "
Tong Yun's series of questions made Zhu Lin stunned, unable to give an answer for a long time.
Seeing his expression, Tong Yun knew that he had never thought about anything, Kong had a passion, and loved her like a fire, but never thought about their future.
Tong Yun recalled what her mother said to her when she was crying for her lost love.
"Marriage is chai, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, and daily trivialities. Love is a matter of the two of you, but marriage is a matter of two families. When you marry, you should not only look at him, but also his family. Maybe now he He really loves you, but when the hormonal passion fades and he faces various contradictions in his married life, he will get bored with you sooner or later. When the love is gone, you will have nothing..."
At that time, she seemed to understand her mother's words, but she didn't take it to heart.
With the increase of age and knowledge, she has seen too many marriage plots around her, she has learned to think, and she has learned to be realistic.
The reality of Tong Yun is unacceptable to Zhu Lin, who is in love, but he really loves Tong Yun and is reluctant to blame Tong Yun, so he said: "Xiao Yun, don't worry, I can definitely persuade my dad. I promise to add your name to the house, and I will definitely work hard to make money and give you a happy life."
Tong Yun took a sip of coffee with a light expression. She didn't say anything, finished the coffee quietly, then got up and said to Zhu Lin, "Excuse me."
Zhu Lin thought she was going to the bathroom and waited patiently.
After waiting for a long time, Tong Yun didn't come back. He quickly got up to look for it and asked the waiter, "Did you see the lady who was with me just now?"
The waiter replied, "The lady has already checked out and left."
Zhu Lin was stunned: "She left?"
Zhu Lin never expected that Tong Yun would check out early and leave quietly.
He didn't even have her current contact information, and he didn't know where she lived, where she worked, or anything.
I missed this chance encounter, and I don't know if I can meet again in the future.
With panic in his heart, Zhu Lin rushed out of the cafe frantically, looking for the direction when he was coming and going, but in the end he found nothing.

Just as Yuan Jia came back from a banquet that day, his assistant came over and told him, "Mr. Zhuo, someone who claims to be your father called you from the company."
The assistant was a little hesitant when he told Yuan Jia the news. After all, he had never heard of a father who didn't make a personal phone call to his son, but called the company's customer service number.
"Also, that gentleman's surname is Zhu..."
Yuan Jia frowned slightly. As early as after he became famous, he was mentally prepared to be approached by Zhuo's mother, and he was not afraid, but he didn't expect that it was not Zhuo's mother, but Zhu's father who came to him.
Yuan Jia said indifferently: "Okay, I understand. I'll take it when he calls next time."
The 'next time' came very quickly. Early the next morning, Father Zhu called again and was brought to Yuan Jia by his assistant.
Yuan Jia shouted on the phone, "Uncle Zhu."
Father Zhu laughed and said, "Yuanjia, I know you are busy starting a business, but when you have time, come home to see your mother, uncle and your brother. It's been a long time since we've seen each other..." As if the eight-year breakup The contacts were all fake. Yuan Jia listened to Zhu's father's homely words, which made him feel as if he had just worked in another place for a year or two and didn't come home.
Yuan Jia had long seen that Father Zhu was someone who was cold-hearted and calculating, except for Zhu Lin, everyone else was considered an outsider to Father Zhu.
Yuan Jia completely cut off contact with Zhuo's mother after falling out. Zhu's father also asked Zhuo's mother a few words, and he didn't mention it again, and he didn't contact Yuanjia. Climbing the Three Treasures Palace' feeling.
Yuan Jia saw that Zhu's father was taking care of the family, but he didn't say the real purpose for a long time. He also pretended to be stupid and didn't ask anything.
After chatting for a while, Father Zhu finally couldn't help it and said, "Yuanjia, when are you free, come back? It happens to be my birthday on the 8th next month. See if you can come back. look at uncle?"
Yuan Jia rummaged through the original owner's memory, and it seemed that more than half a month had passed since Father Zhu's birthday, and Father Zhu had always only celebrated his birthday on the lunar calendar. The 8th of next month is his birthday on the solar calendar. He has never had a birthday on the solar calendar before. Now, in order to find an excuse to let him go back, is he planning to have another birthday this year?
Yuan Jia was a little curious about what idea Zhu's father wanted to come up with, and also thought that eight years later, in the original plot, the reunion of the hero and heroine after many years began. He also wanted to see the excitement, so he agreed.
Father Zhu said happily: "Okay, then we will wait for you to come back."
After hanging up the phone, Father Zhu walked to the kitchen with his hands behind his back, and said to Zhuo's mother who was washing vegetables with a little smugness: "I just said that Yuan Jia is a filial piety, and it is impossible not to listen to me. No, as soon as I opened my mouth, Yuan Jia planned to come back."
Zhuo's mother stopped her movements in surprise: "He really promised to come back?"
Zhuo's mother has seen the cruelty of her son over the years. She said that she has cut off the relationship and has not heard from him for eight years in a row, and her contact information has been completely changed.
Why are you willing to come back now?
Father Zhu raised his eyebrows proudly and said, "On the eighth of next month, I will have another birthday, you are ready."
<<<<<<
Yuan Jia was stuck at Zhu's house on time on the 8th. He didn't plan to stay at Zhu's house much, so he wanted to come on the 8th and leave on the 8th.
When he came, he came empty-handed, without any gifts. Only brought one group.
Zhu's father saw that his eyes were a little disappointed, but he was still very enthusiastic. Zhuo's mother's expression was a little embarrassed, so she avoided him and hid in the kitchen: "I'm going to cook."
Zhu Lin was beside Zhu's father and shouted to Yuan Jia awkwardly: "Brother Yuan Jia."
Yuan Jia looked at Zhu Lin, who he hadn't seen in eight years. The twenty-nine-year-old Zhu Lin was much more mature than he was eight years ago, but he still couldn't see any sedate appearance from him. He had a melancholy temperament and a handsome appearance.
Yuan Jia hugged the dumplings, brushed his hair, and asked casually, "Long time no see, what job does Zhu Lin do now? Are you married?"
A casual greeting made Zhu Lin and Zhu's father embarrassed.
What is Zhu Lin doing now? He is currently unemployed.
Zhu Lin has been looking for Tong Yun for the past eight years. He has been working for three days and two days of netting. He often resigns naked. This time, he met Tong Yun once, so he immediately resigned and went to the city where he met Tong Yun, looking for someone like a needle in a haystack. .
Currently out of work.
Not to mention marriage, Zhu's father wished that Zhu Lin would get married soon, but Zhu Lin only had Tong Yun, and he was not shy about other women. Even if he was handsome and liked by many women, his resistance attitude also made women retreat. .
It was almost thirty and still not married, which made Father Zhu anxious.
Especially after Zhu Lin met Tong Yun once, he came back and started arguing about buying a new house and adding Tong Yun's name to the house. Apart from Tong Yun, he would not marry any other woman.
As early as when Zhu Lin refused to fall in love with other women, Father Zhu regretted his opposition to Zhu Lin and Tong Yun's marriage.
If he had agreed back then, his grandson would be able to go to primary school now.
But the biggest property of the Zhu family is the house. To ask Zhu's father to promise to give half of the house to his daughter-in-law would cost him half his life, but his son would not marry without giving the house.
After struggling for a long time, Zhu's father thought of Yuan Jia, a rich and promising stepson, and called Yuan Jia cheekily.
Father Zhu recovered from the embarrassment, and said vaguely to Yuan Jia: "Zhu Lin is as good as you, he is just like that, messing around. Come on, Yuan Jia, you finally come back and drink with me Two cups."
Mother Zhuo had already prepared a table of good dishes, Father Zhu pulled Yuan Jia to sit down, opened a bottle of white wine, poured wine into two empty glasses, one of which was placed in front of Yuan Jia: "Come, have a drink ."
Yuan Jia glanced at the wine glass in front of him and said, "I don't drink."
At his level of strength, he can't get drunk at all by drinking ordinary wine, and he feels bland and tasteless, so he doesn't like drinking ordinary wine. When he usually attends banquets or other entertainment occasions, he also substitutes tea for wine, and others give him face, so he doesn't have to force himself to drink for others.
Now to Father Zhu, he is also telling the truth.
The smile on Father Zhu's face was a little stiff, and some couldn't get off the stage.
He felt that Yuan Jia didn't want to drink alcohol, but that he didn't want to drink with him. Otherwise, how could a company boss not drink alcohol at social occasions?
Father Zhu was sullen and unhappy, but he had requests from others, so he could only keep it in his heart, he suffocated a glass of wine in one gulp, and said to Yuan Jia, "You don't drink if you don't drink, and there are drinks at home. Zhu Lin, go get a drink."
Zhu Lin took out a bottle of orange juice and put it on the table. Father Zhu glared at him: "What are you doing? Pour it for your brother."
Zhu Lin looked at the small bottle of orange juice in his hand, does it still need to be poured? Can't you just open it and drink it?
Zhu Lin didn't know what his father's idea was to invite Yuan Jia back, and he didn't know that his father asked him to pour orange juice to please Yuan Jia, so he honestly put the orange juice in front of Yuan Jia and said, "Just Just open it like this and drink it directly, there is no need to pour it out, trouble."
Father Zhu: "..."
Yuan Jia looked at Zhu Lin, then looked at Zhu's father, and then looked at Zhuo's mother, who was hiding in the kitchen and quietly looking at the situation, and couldn't help laughing: "After so many years, Zhu Lin still hasn't changed much. ."
Zhuo's mother has changed, and Zhu's father has also changed, but Zhu Lin has not changed at all, and is still as innocent and sincere as before.
Yuan Jia reached out and unscrewed the lid of the orange juice bottle, took a sip of orange juice, and then picked up the chopsticks to eat.
The dishes made by Zhuo’s mother these years still taste the same, but Zhuo Yuanjia didn’t have the chance to taste these good dishes in the past, Yuanjia sighed while eating: “Speaking of which, I haven’t eaten these delicious dishes made by my mother in 18 years. Vegetables."
Father Zhu thought it was a slip of the tongue, and said with a smile, "How can it be as long as eighteen years, it's only eight years. If you want to eat, come back and eat more."
Yuan Jia looked at Zhuo's mother who was serving the dishes from the kitchen without saying a word. Seeing that Zhuo's mother put down the dishes, she panicked and got into the kitchen again.
