C2 What a Joke
"Huimei!"
"Mom!"
Zhou Bohai and Zhou Yuyov called out at the same time.
"What are you doing? Junlin is back. Isn't it good to sit down and explain the situation between our families?" Zhang Huimei rolled her eyes.
"This..." Zhou Bohai was about to say something when Chen Junlin replied, "Okay, I also want to have a good chat with you guys."
When he got out of the car earlier, he heard the conversation between father and daughter. He could vaguely guess what had happened.
And now, Zhang Huimei had taken the initiative to invite him in. Naturally, it was not that simple!
However, he did not care.
The reason he came this time was to cancel the Zhou family's engagement.
Initially, he was still apologetic, but now it seemed like he didn't need it anymore.
In the luxuriously decorated living room, the lights were bright, giving off a hint of grandeur.
The huge dining table was filled with more than a dozen people. They were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
"Everyone, calm down. Quickly take a look. Who's back in our family?" Zhang Huimei waved her hand to signal. Everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Junlin in unison.
"Chen Junlin? He is Chen Junlin?"
"Why is he back?"
"Didn't he go to the army?" Wang Yao asked. Did he come back at this critical moment because he heard the news and wanted to cause trouble?"
"Junlin, you have been a soldier for five years. You should be an officer now, right?" Zhang Huimei smiled and asked, "What level? Are you a battalion commander?"
"No!" Chen Junlin shook his head.
"Is that the company commander?" A relative asked.
"No!"
"It can't be just a platoon leader or a squad leader, right?" Another relative asked.
"Not really. Chen Junlin still shook his head.
Zhang Huimei and the relatives of Zhou family looked at each other and could not help but scoff at each other.
" Aiya, in this day and age, how can it be so easy to be an officer? It doesn't matter if there is no back door, what can I do?" Zhou Yuyov's Eldest Aunt opened the door to emphasize.
"Yes. To put it bluntly, five years is purely compulsory labor! Coming out, "At most, he will be a security guard. He will be a little bodyguard and make a living!"
"Junlin, I want to ask you. If you marry Yuyov of our family, what do you plan to use to support her? How can you give her a good living condition? If you work, I'm afraid you can't even afford a bag for a month, right?"
They talked all at once, and their words were full of sarcasm.
Zhang Huimei looked like she was watching a show with a smile at the corner of her mouth.
She called Chen Junlin in because she wanted him to know the difference in power in front of everyone and completely cut off his thoughts.
This was the only way to kill someone!
"Junlin, I think you know what's going on in your family. Don't blame us for being seniors. Society is a reality. " Zhang Huimei smiled. Before she could finish, Chen Junlin said, "So... "I understand. I really can't give Yuyov happiness. The engagement between me and your Zhou family..."
Dad, Mom, just as I entered the house, I heard that Yuyov and I had an engagement with each other. Is that so? " At this moment, a young man in a suit walked in and looked at Chen Junlin with an unfriendly gaze.
"Haoran is here!" Zhang Huimei welcomed him warmly, "Haoran, don't misunderstand. It's not what you think!"
"Haoran, my engagement with Chen Junlin was a joke in the past. Now it is clear that I have nothing to do with him!" Zhou Yuyov intimately held her fiancé's arm and explained, but she did not dare to look up at Chen Junlin.
"What a joke. Junlin hasn't... Zhou Bohai did not have a good feeling in his heart. Just as he wanted to argue, Zhang Huimei glared back at him, "Haoran. "Don't worry. Our Yuyov is a good girl! Chen Junlin is the son of an old friend. He just came back from the army and has nowhere to go. As elders, of course we have to entertain him! "
"So that's how it is!" Ma Haorann's face finally looked good, but he was still a little unhappy in his heart.
Today was the day the Ma family came to propose marriage. Chen Junlin came out of nowhere. If word got out, no one knew what others would say.
So he pretended to be magnanimous and smiled. "Mom, Dad, Yuyov, I understand. One code is one code! Chen Junlin, right? Since we are all on the same side, we will help each other in the future! "Right, you have just retired from the army. Why don't you come to my company as a security guard?"
Sorry, I don't have such thoughts for the time being! " Chen Junlin shook his head.
"You retired from the army. Can you still do it? "How about this, for mom and dad and Yuyov's sake, you name a price? " A security guard, I can still afford it! " Ma Haorann waved his hand in disdain.
"You can't afford it." Chen Junlin said indifferently.
"You..." Ma Haorann was angry. "I can't afford a small security guard. What a joke. I have a dog. It's more expensive than this!"
"That's right. Chen Junlin, don't be ungrateful. Hao Ran is kind enough to arrange a job for you, but you still do this!"
"Don't take yourself too seriously. So what if you have been a soldier for a few years? " You are still a poor man! "
"I guess you've been in the army for a long time and think you're someone important!" Zhang Huimei and the others started to criticize him.
Chen Junlin smiled but did not say anything. He did not look at Ma Haorann and said to Zhang Huimei, "Auntie, from the beginning to the end, did I say that I want to marry your daughter? Since both parties do not have this intention, the engagement will naturally be put aside. It is good that you have made it clear. There is no need to feign compromise. Yin and Yang are strange. Farewell!"
He turned around and walked out of the main door.
You... "Zhang Huimei's face turned pale and her throat seemed to be blocked.
"This bastard!" Zhou Yuyov was even more angry and embarrassed as she bit her lips, carrying a trace of resentment.
No one expected Chen Junlin's attitude to be so decisive and decisive. From what he said, it seemed like he did not want this engagement at all from the beginning.
Wasn't this slapping her face?
"Yuyov, don't be angry. Watch how I deal with him!" Ma Haorann naturally heard it too. He quickly followed her out. "Chen Junlin, wait. Come and go as you wish. Do you think this is the park square? "I was kind enough to arrange a job for you, but you kept denying me. You even said that I couldn't afford you. If you don't explain this clearly, you won't be able to leave!"
Chen Junlin turned his head and frowned. "What do you want?"
"I..."
Boom! Boom!
Ma Haorann was about to say something when the motor roared.
A huge object stopped next to Chen Junlin.
A burly man walked down from the vehicle. His eyes widened. "Who dares to be rude to my master?"
Ma Haorann's mouth moved, and he immediately became timid.
Zhang Huimei and the others who followed closely saw this scene changed their expressions.
"Junlin, this is..." Zhou Bohai asked curiously.
"I am my family's mister's driver. Why?" The man said bluntly.
"Driver? Chen Junlin, you are actually worthy of a driver?" Zhang Huimei found it hard to believe.
What a joke. Our teacher is... "The man sneered and Chen Junlin scolded," Black Bear, talk too much. Back off! Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou, goodbye!"
"Mr Junlin!" Zhou Yuyov suddenly bit her lips, "It will be my wedding three days later. I hope you can come and attend!"
"Okay!" Chen Junlin agreed and drove away.
