She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

Chapter 454 Generosity

I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but after Yuan Tianye finished speaking, Zhou Hanzhi’s expression changed. His tone, which had been calm as water, began to change: “Wedding candy and wedding wine… Director Yuan, forgive me for being blunt, but you and Manager Meng are not yet at the stage of talking about marriage, right? Isn’t it a bit early to drink wedding wine?”

"It's not too early at all. They've already confirmed their relationship. Besides, my sister and I have already met their parents. They'll be engaged and married soon!" Yuan Tianye answered as if it were the truth.

But I felt something was wrong when I heard this.

In the morning, Xiao Ye and I agreed to pretend to be a couple, but I didn't say that I wanted to get engaged or married with him. Besides, when did I meet his parents?

I looked at Yuan Tianye in confusion, but heard Zhou Hanzhi's low voice: "Oh? Manager Meng has already met Director Yuan's parents? When was it? The two of you are progressing very quickly."

I turned my head and saw dark waves surging in Zhou Hanzhi's deep eyes. It can be seen that he is still trying hard to restrain himself.

Just now when Lin Xixi was attacked by Yuan Tianye and Zhang Tingyuan, although Zhou Hanzhi put on a show to protect Lin Xixi, he remained calm and his emotions did not change. What happened to him now? He looked so excited.

Especially the way he stared at me, it almost poked a hole in my face. I couldn't figure out what I had done wrong to offend this boss.

Yuan Tianye took my hand, and said with pride and satisfaction in his tone: "I met her a month ago, and my old man even treated her with my top-ranking red wine. Don't be too satisfied with her as your daughter-in-law!"

I had no recollection of Ono talking about meeting his parents, but when he mentioned Zhuangyuanhong, I suddenly remembered it.

That was a month ago. Xiao Ye made a scene at Shen Hualan's birthday party because he couldn't find me. He was taken back home by Old Man Yuan and made to kneel in the ancestral hall. I rushed to the Yuan family to plead for him. Old Man Yuan invited me to have a meal with him. I did drink Zhuangyuanhong at that meal, which was the Zhuangyuanhong that had been buried underground since Xiao Ye was born.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ye thought that time was when I met my parents...

"It turns out that Director Yuan has already brought Sister Nan Xu to meet the parents. It seems that Sister Nan Xu and Director Yuan have been together for a month. Sister Nan Xu, you guys are doing a really good job in underground work." Lin Xixi, who was holding Zhou Hanzhi's arm, immediately had her eyes brightened. "Sister Nan Xu is beautiful and capable. No wonder Mr. Yuan is so satisfied that he took out Director Yuan's top prize. It's really enviable to get the support and encouragement from the parents!"

She even clung to Zhou Hanzhi's arm and shook it, asking Zhou Hanzhi: "Is it true, Hanzhi?"

She probably thought about the fact that her relationship with Zhou Hanzhi did not receive support and encouragement from the Zhou family, so she had such feelings.

But at this moment, I thought of Zhou Hanzhi and I.

We were both in a relationship, but I was not as good as Lin Xixi.

Zhou Hanzhi ignored her. He stood there, staring down at me. His phoenix eyes became increasingly deep and cold, while his thin lips were stretched into a straight line. His handsome face was almost as black as ink.

I subconsciously avoided him at first, not daring to look at him. Regarding the matter of Zhuangyuanhong, Zhou Hanzhi questioned me a month ago and asked me whether the reason why I didn't want to be the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family was because I wanted to be the daughter-in-law of the Yuan family. I was speechless and helpless at the time, and said that Zhuangyuanhong was not a daughter's wine, trying to prove that I didn't mean that. But now... I feel a little embarrassed, and inexplicably feel guilty for lying.

"What the hell? Xiao Ye, do you think that's meeting the parents?" Zhang Tingyuan, who was standing aside, shouted, "If you count that way, then Sister Meng and I have also met our parents. Not only has she been to my house, she has also met my parents. My mom is super satisfied with her, right, mom!"

Mrs. Zhang Si smiled with her eyes curved. She said nothing but nodded seriously.

Yuan Tianye got anxious and stretched out his legs to kick Zhang Tingyuan: "How come you have no sense at all? After all, we are brothers who grew up together. Why are you trying to undermine me now? Even if Aunt Zhang likes my sister, my sister still chose me in the end. Now I am her real boyfriend. Get out of here!"

The kick was quite heavy. Zhang Tingyuan covered his butt and screamed. He was as strong as a little bear, but he insisted on hiding behind the slender Madam Zhang Si: "Ouch, someone is going to kill someone, Mom, save me! Xiao Ye has gone crazy and wants to kill me too!"

I am very grateful to Zhang Tingyuan. If he hadn't interrupted me, I would have been stabbed to death by Zhou Hanzhi's gaze.

The noise he and Xiao Ye made not only livened up the atmosphere, but also disrupted Zhou Hanzhi's cold gaze at me, helping me get rid of the guilt and embarrassment.

"You are the most noisy, you are a naughty boy, be quiet and don't make Xiaoye angry." Although Mrs. Zhang Si protected Zhang Tingyuan, she also scolded him and turned to stop Yuan Tianye, "Xiaoye, today is a good day for you and Xuxu, don't argue with Xiaoyuan, the guests are coming one after another, let them sit down quickly."

Yuan Tianye then gave up, and Madam Zhang Si immediately made adjustments on his behalf, inviting Zhou Hanzhi and Lin Xixi to take a seat.

Zhang Tingyuan also followed behind Madam Zhang Si, but secretly made a face at Xiao Ye, which made Yuan Tianye so angry that he rolled his eyes and wanted to hit him again.

At this moment, two figures walked in from the door: "Xu Xu, congratulations to you and Xiao Ye, this is my gift!"

It was Wu Ling and Zeng Zhi. Wu Ling smiled and put the gift box tied with a ribbon in his hand into my hand, but Zeng Zhi didn't show any joy on his face. He frowned and looked depressed. After Wu Ling bumped into him, he reluctantly smiled and said, "Sister-in-law..."

When he opened his mouth, I was stunned.

Zeng Zhi usually tends to call me by the wrong name. Last time, he called me sister-in-law in front of Lin Xixi, which caused Lin Xixi's strong dissatisfaction. Today, in such an occasion, he called me by the wrong name again.

Not only is the occasion wrong today, but Lin Xixi and Zhou Hanzhi are also here...

Fortunately, Wu Ling reacted quickly. As soon as Zeng Zhi said this, she elbowed him hard and scolded him with a frown: "Are you confused? Who are you calling sister-in-law?"

"Xuxu, Xiaoye, don't be angry. He hasn't been acting right all day, as if he has lost his soul, so he called the wrong name." Wu Ling hurried to comfort Yuan Tianye and me.

"I was indeed stunned and confused. I didn't expect Manager Meng to choose Director Yuan..." Zeng Zhi spoke again at this time. He frowned, half lowered his head, and looked depressed.

Xiao Ye was already unhappy just now, and now he was even more unhappy when he heard this: "What do you mean by that?"

I immediately grabbed Xiaoye's hand and tried to persuade him, but at this moment I heard a series of clear voices: "What's wrong with Manager Meng choosing Director Yuan? I think it's great, they are simply a perfect match!"
