Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 372 - 368 Xie Jingzi’s Suitor 01

----------------

Xie Jingzi, faced with all the gazes directed at her, forced a smile, especially when she saw Third Sister-in-law’s raised eyebrows, it made her scalp tingle with numbness!!

She glared at a certain big bad wolf, only to find that he was the one smirking most proudly!

How could Zhou Zhenghui not be proud? Right now, he was secretly overjoyed, finally having shown his face; now they could openly discuss their relationship, which was to his advantage!

Otherwise, with Little Zi’er’s evasive behavior, when would he be able to claim his beautiful bride? Surely, he couldn’t really wait for her to graduate from university, could he?

Pfft, impossible.

"Cough, cough!" Xie Tiesheng coughed twice, and seeing that his spouse’s expression was still relatively normal, the two grandchildren were just naively looking at the little girl cuddling into their little aunt’s embrace.

Xiaoqi was the most distressed; she had huge, disheartened almond eyes, her eyes reddening as she looked at her little aunt, that young lady, as if she was about to cry, but it was Xiao Si who firmly held onto Xiaoqi’s hand, preventing her from bursting into tears.

Clearly, the little aunt was theirs!

She was not some little aunt-in-law at all!

"Elder, Ma’am, Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, hello everyone, I am Zhou Zhenghui, I am..."

Zhou Zhenghui placed the fruit basket on the cabinet next to the hospital bed, his peach blossom eyes smiling as he was about to introduce himself, but he was abruptly interrupted by Xie Jingzi’s anxious high-pitched voice.

"Wait, wait a moment!" Xie Jingzi felt as if her tongue was about to fall off due to shock, under the furious gaze of her mother, she threw out a phrase to her family: "Dad, Mom, I’ll explain everything to you later."

"Little aunt?" Tiantian seemed to sense the anger on Xie Jingzi’s face, timidly and lightly calling out.

Her tone was full of attempts to ingratiate.

Xie Jingzi couldn’t vent her frustration on the little girl, so after telling her family, she directly picked up Tiantian, her eyes fiercely glared at Zhou Zhenghui, and with immense anger, she led the way out of the ward.

Zhou Zhenghui touched his nose and pretended to be innocent. He was quite helpless; after all, it was a legitimate relationship and it was time to meet the parents after hiding it for two months.

Did Little Zizi truly not want to come clean with her family about him? Was he that ugly?

Zhou Zhenghui, who was always praised as ’bewitching and handsome’, started to doubt himself—why was Xie Jingzi’s reaction different from other women?

Towards him, the diamond bachelor, she was utterly unmoved and couldn’t wait to stay far away from him.

If he hadn’t schemed, Xie Jingzi would still be unwilling to get involved with him in any way!

This ’truth’ was really a blow to his ego.

As for Zhou Zhenghui—now being labeled as ’unregistered’—he coincidentally heard from his subordinates that Little Zizi’s Third Sister-in-law had given birth, and he thought, better to act first and report later: to be a man like him at this moment, he felt utterly incompetent!

Zhou Zhenghui finished the initial task in his heart, and tactfully followed behind Xie Jingzi.

The remaining members of the Xie Family were somewhat baffled and could not understand the situation.

Once Xie Jingzi was certain that Zhou Zhenghui would not dare not to follow her, she then quickly exited the ward.

"Sorry for the interruption, my apologies. Please allow me to visit again next time for a formal introduction."

As Xie Jingzi expected, Zhou Zhenghui, fearing that she would really be angry and ignore him, could only look at her with a resigned and accommodating gaze, knowing this action was quite rude!

But there was no helping it; the little lady was furious, and he dared not disobey. Thus, he bowed to apologize to the Xie family members and without clearly seeing each of their expressions, hurriedly followed Xie Jingzi’s steps.

"...This!" Zhou Xiuhua’s face looked awful.

Clearly, her youngest son was supposed to be in school, what’s the deal with this man?

Judging by his unfinished words, it’s obvious he’s involved with her youngest son in matchmaking?! novelbuddy.cσ๓

Jiang Xiaoying, seeing that the Xie family members’ expressions weren’t good, sealed her lips tightly, bowed her head, and pretended not to see this awkward situation.

However, in Jiang Xiaoying’s view, the young man called ’Zhou Zhenghui’ really looked like the elite type with impressive appearance; standing next to Xiaozi, they indeed matched well.

Handsome man and beautiful woman, aren’t they a match made in heaven?

"Mom, don’t be angry. The youngest is eighteen already, not young anymore. Let’s listen to what she says. If it’s suitable, we can’t ruin her chance at marriage, right?!" Zhang Shanni grabbed her mother-in-law’s wrist, having her sit by the side of her bed and gently comforted her.

"That young man, at a glance, seems to be no simple person; I worry she might be cheated without even realizing!" Xie Tiesheng’s hand slapped down; if he had tobacco pipes, he’d need to take a couple of heavy puffs to settle his emotions.

However, ever since his partner fell ill and was hospitalized, Xie Tiesheng had already quit smoking with the earnest efforts of Zhang Shanni.

"Dad, that man, he’s decent," Jingchen gave a fair assessment.

Jingchen actually knew this Zhou Zhenghui, having interacted with him a few times through work, not exactly a stranger, but... his family background, might it be too lofty?

Even if he doesn’t feel ashamed of his rural origins, when compared to the behemoth that is the Zhou family, the Xie Family seemed far too insignificant.

"Brother Chen, you know him?"

"Yeah, he works in the government, our military sector often has dealings with the county town government, so I’ve interacted with him a few times."

"Living off the government’s grain!" Zhou Xiuhua’s eyes lit up when she heard what her third son said.

"Yes." Having status and capability, such a man, the youngest may not be able to hold onto.

Jingchen was not very optimistic about his younger sister’s romance with Zhou Zhenghui, because the disparity in their social status was too great; even with affection, it couldn’t bridge the genuine gap in status between his sister and him.

"Third son, is there an issue with that man?" Xie Tiesheng, more realistic than his wife when looking at problems, noticed that although his third son answered straightforwardly, his face showed no joy, rather it revealed worry, which took him by surprise. He asked his third son seriously.

Seeing his wife immediately improve her opinion upon learning the young man was government-supported, he felt disdainful, but no matter how disdainful, he could not openly criticize his wife.

"Dad, his character and conduct, there are no issues. But, his status is not simple; our family’s youngest daughter cannot control him."

Jingchen would certainly tell his family everything he knew about his younger sister’s situation in detail, summarizing in four words:

"Mismatched social status."

Upon hearing this, Xie Tiesheng instantly recalled Zhou Zhenghui in his simple white shirt and black trousers, which made him appear very distinguished, noble, and stylish.

This phrase was originally said by the Third Son’s Wife, and now using it to describe Zhou Zhenghui’s bearing felt particularly apt!

Zhang Shanni looked left and right, swallowing the four words of rebuttal at the tip of her tongue, deciding it would be better for her not to speak recklessly.

From her point of view, she felt that her little aunt was currently seeming to be in a leading position, evidently standing at the advantageous side.

Why does her husband make such comments? ——
