Chapter 49: Hammered

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

“Ren, when will your parents come back to China?” Zhao Hongyu asked Hao Ren unexpectedly while driving.

Hao Ren paused for a moment and answered, “Em… I’m not sure.”

Zhao Hongyu, seemingly able to read his mind, said, “You wouldn’t tell me even if you know, right?”

The look Hao Ren’s face turned awkward. Actually, he didn’t want to talk about the issue of Zhao Yanzi. First of all, he wasn’t sure what his parents would think. Second, he didn’t feel like this matter was concrete enough to mention yet.

“Fine, I’m not going to make it hard for you,” Zhao Hongyu smiled understandingly and said, “We’ll find a chance to talk about it after your parents come back.”

Hao Ren almost told her that his parents had their careers, and all the family issues were up to his grandma. As long as his grandma accepted Zhao Yanzi as her granddaughter-in-law, it wouldn’t matter how hard his parents try to object.

Apparently, Hao Ren didn’t think that Zhao Yanzi’s personality would gain any adoration from his grandma. If his grandma could like anyone, it would be Xie Yujia.

Zhao Hongyu parked the car in the garage after they got back home, then she brought Hao Ren into the house. Hao Ren could barely imagine how a senior designer who drove a Ferrari to work could also do the grocery shopping at a local market every day and go home early to prepare dinner.

After going into the kitchen and putting on an apron, Zhao Hongyu turned from an office lady to a kind and virtuous housewife. Hao Ren also went to the kitchen to help since he didn’t have anything else to do, and Zhao Hongyu didn’t stop him.

In a few moments, Zhao Yanzi got home. She casually said hi to her mother and Hao Ren when she saw them in the kitchen, and she went upstairs to do her homework.

After a while, Zhao Guang also came back home from work. He saw Hao Ren in the kitchen helping Zhao Hongyu wash vegetables and cut meat. He nodded approvingly and then went back to his study room to take care of more business.

Inside this two-story ordinary-looking house, Zhao Yanzi was in her room doing homework miserably, Zhao Guang was seriously reviewing some documents in his study room, Zhao Hongyu was standing in front of the pot cooking food, and Hao Ren was beside Zhao Hongyu preparing the next dish.

The entire atmosphere was so harmonious as if they were a real family.

Delicious dishes were brought to the dinner table one by one. Hearing Zhao Hongyu’s call, Zhao Yanzi put away her homework and happily went downstairs for dinner. Zhao Guang also came out of his study room and steadily walked towards the dinner table.

The four of them sat around the dinner table, enjoying the delicious meal together. During dinner, Zhao Hongyu kept speaking well of how considerate Hao Ren was and how good he was at housework, and that made Zhao Yanzi pout out of jealousy.

Not only Zhao Hongyu but also Zhao Guang who was observing Hao Ren was feeling more and more satisfied with this son-in-law he had “picked”.

Zhao Yanzi was the only one who still had heavy hostility against Hao Ren. She really didn’t like the feeling when she thought about marrying this guy who was good at “flattering” her parents.

However, when she thought of that pretty Class President in Hao Ren’s class, she wasn’t willing to give Hao Ren away. She believed that the Class President would take Hao Ren if she didn’t want him.

As usual, Hao Ren had to tutor Zhao Yanzi after dinner. He spent an hour systematically explaining the important English concepts to her and another hour on solving problems in other subjects.

He no longer found the questions given by Zhao Yanzi unfamiliar or tough since he had already read some of her textbooks last night. He solved a bunch of questions continuously, and that impressed Zhao Yanzi a lot.

“This guy seems to have a smart brain…” secretly staring at Hao Ren’s smooth and round forehead, Zhao Yanzi concluded.

She hated stupid people the most, but it seemed that Hao Ren wasn’t that type.

The two-hour tutoring session was over, and Hao Ren had to go back. Zhao Guang offered him a ride, but Hao Ren refused kindly. He packed up his tutoring materials and planned to hail a taxi. He didn’t want to trouble Zhao Guang every time.

“Em…” Zhao Yanzi suddenly rushed downstairs as Hao Ren was about to walk out. She handed a few books to Hao Ren and said, “I don’t need them tomorrow, so you can bring them with you to read. Remember to bring them back tomorrow!”

Hao Ren looked down and found out they were Biology and Geography textbooks. Seeing Hao Ren looking up at her, Zhao Yanzi’s face blushed. She turned around and ran up the stairs as she shouted, “Read carefully! Read seriously! It would be your fault if I get any questions wrong!”

“This girl…” Zhao Hongyu, who stood at the door with Hao Ren, shook her head and smiled, “I was about to ask her to walk you out…”

“Don’t worry. I’m going back now. There is no need for Uncle to drive me back; I know he is very busy with work,” Hao Ren waved his hand at the door before he turned around and walked to the road.

Zhao Hongyu nodded delightfully, feeling more and more satisfied with Hao Ren.

When Hao Ren was on the taxi heading back to the university, he suddenly realized that the little girl Zhao Yanzi had never called him by his name; it was either “hey”, “this”, or “that”…

Ah, what a failure…

As soon as he got back to the dorm and stepped onto the third floor, he heard someone yell, “Hao Ren is back!”

Immediately after that yell, all the guys rushed out of their dorms as if they had just heard there was an emergency. They surrounded Hao Ren and started bombarding him with their questions!

“What is your relationship with Su Han!”

“She actually put the necklace on for you, we all saw that!”

“That is the necklace! The one on his neck!”

“Let me see! Let me see!”

While holding the plastic bag with all the tutoring materials in it, Hao Ren was tightly surrounded by them and was unable to move by a single step. They were so interested in the necklace that they tried to grab it one after another.

Luckily this necklace was made out of some special material that could bear all the tugs and pulls. However, Hao Ren’s neck couldn’t take the painful pulling anymore. In this situation, no one could say for sure that some of them didn’t do it out of jealousy and didn’t want to take this opportunity to get their revenge.

“Move out of the way! Move!” at this critical moment, Zhao Jiayi showed up with Zhou Liren and Cao Ronghua to rescue Hao Ren.

They saved Hao Ren and walked him back to their dorm as if they were guarding an emperor. When they closed the door, the guys from the other dorms didn’t give up that easily and continued to smack the door like crazy.

“The news about Su Han giving you the necklace had already spread throughout the entire university! It is definitely a breaking news! You are screwed, dude!” pushing Hao Ren against a chair, Zhao Jiayi said as he stared at Hao Ren.

“What the hell? It is just a necklace given by Su Han, how did it become such a big news?” Hao Ren asked while rubbing his throbbing neck.

“Don’t try to quibble! Have you ever seen Su Han give a necklace to any other guy?! Plus… do you know what the biggest news is?” Zhao Jiayi showed an extremely bright smile all of a sudden. “Huang Xujie had heard about this news, and he went crazily mad! It turned out that bastard likes Su Han a lot!” he shouted.

He hooked his arm onto Hao Ren’s neck and cheered, “Good job Ren! You run faster than him, and you are even better at picking up girls than him!”

Seeing the extremely excited and gloated look on Zhao Jiayi’s face, Hao Ren had no idea what to say.

“Su Han is a distant cousin of mine… probably nobody would believe in an explanation like this now…” he thought.

“Beautiful Su Han! Beauty Su! I know you have never cared about anyone else’s opinion or thought, but please don’t throw me into the fire…”
