Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 618 Guan Gu, in danger!

"Wanyu, are your parents coming to our apartment?"

The scene shifts, and everyone on the sixth floor is now gathered around the sofa in room 3601.

Mika rubbed her ears and exclaimed in disbelief, "Wait, you two were just together last night, weren't you?"

"How come they've only just started dating and they're already at the stage of meeting each other's parents?"

Wanyu didn't answer, but instead curiously touched Meijia's swollen eye bags.

"Mika, putting us aside, how come your eyes turned into goldfish eyes after just one night's sleep?"

"Forehead……"

Mika's expression froze, her eyes darted around, and she gripped the pillow in her arms slightly with both hands.

"I watched a really tear-jerking TV series last night, so I cried a lot."

"Yeah?"

The unsuspecting crowd stared at Meijia with suspicion, while Nanfeng smiled without saying a word, and Xiaoxian raised an eyebrow at Ziqiao with a sly grin.

It's quite a coincidence that the 26-year-old balding "middle-aged" male boss who won Mika's coat in the lottery is the same restaurant owner where Xiaoxian and Lisa had dinner the night before.

Even though Zeng Xiaoxian had no memory of what happened that night, the extremely special restaurant owner still left a deep impression on his subconscious.

After all, that was the first time Xiao Xian in a suit had seen a man who looked older than Zhang Wei.

No, Zhang Wei at most has the face of someone who looks older than his age. The boss, in terms of appearance, physique, and even the amount of hair, has reached the standard of a fifty-year-old middle-aged man. You might not be able to find such a perfect man in the entire Shanghai.

Although Zeng Xiaoxian had no memory of that night, his vague sense of familiarity reminded Nanfeng, who was also eating at the restaurant that night and had a keen ear, of what he had overheard.

In fact, Nanfeng and Xiaoxian weren't sure if their guess was correct. They just told Ziqiao about the possibility, thinking they had nothing to lose.

Unlike Nanfeng, Xiaoxian hadn't heard everything last night, but that didn't stop him from guessing that Ziqiao had indeed found the coat and returned it to Meijia.

Ziqiao covered his cheek, which was swollen like a pig's head, and winked guiltily at Nanfeng and Xiaoxian.

Although he didn't understand why Mika wanted to wear the coat and show it off to the whole world when she first got it, but wanted to keep it a secret after she got it back, he respected Mika's choice.

Besides, if I give Meijia a coat, I can say it's because I owe her too much in the past, and I'm paying her back all at once so we're even.

But after receiving two coats in a row... he couldn't find any legitimate reason to explain it, except to be stubborn.

Nanfeng and Xiaoxian exchanged a glance, smiled knowingly, and nodded to Ziqiao.

They also knew that the complicated relationship between Ziqiao and Meijia couldn't be completely resolved simply by having a lost and found coat.

However, as long as everyone stays together, there is plenty of time to slowly resolve the deep-seated problems of the past and move towards a happy ending.

Since that's the case, let's all walk along, observe, and look forward to it together.

Nanfeng, Xiaoxian, and Ziqiao reached a consensus, while Meijia, who was being watched by everyone, quickly changed the subject.

"Why are you all looking at me? The focus right now is clearly on Zhanbo and Wanyu."

She looked at Wanyu and pressed, "Wanyu, so when are your parents coming?"

"I don't know, it mainly depends on my dad's schedule."

Wan Yu thought for a moment and replied, "But given my father's personality, it will probably take two or three days at the shortest, and five or six days at the longest. He shouldn't be delayed until next week."

Zhanbo was startled upon hearing this: "So fast?"

Nanfeng patted Zhanbo on the shoulder: "Zhanbo, this is already considered slow."

"You should be glad that Wanyu's parents flew over in person, instead of having their bodyguard team bring you a tablet computer that was on a video call."

"If that were the case, I reckon you wouldn't even be able to speak right now."

"what?"

Upon hearing Nanfeng's words, Zhanbo trembled with fear, and his vivid imagination immediately conjured up a scene.

[As if in the next instant, the door to 3601 was kicked five meters away.]

A group of burly male bodyguards, dressed in black suits and wearing sunglasses, resembling gangsters, walked in in a line, their faces expressionless.

Amidst the shocked gazes of everyone in the apartment, two bodyguards stepped forward, each grabbing one of their own arms and pinning them to the ground in a kneeling position.

[Zhang Wei was about to explain to this group that their actions were illegal when one of the bodyguards knocked him unconscious with a karate chop.]

[Her older sister tried to resist with force, but was immediately knocked to the ground by a volley of tranquilizer darts fired by the bodyguards.]

Seeing that resistance was futile, everyone immediately raised their hands in surrender.

[Especially Ziqiao, who grabbed one of the bodyguards' legs and started wailing, saying he had a fifty-year-old mother, a harem of beautiful women, and a still-attractive aunt, begging all the heroes to spare his life.]

The bodyguards completely ignored Ziqiao; the man in the middle, dressed in black, silently held up his tablet in front of him.

On the tablet, under the dim light, there was a boss's chair with its back to the user, so the user's face was obscured.

The chair slowly spun around, revealing a middle-aged man with a fierce-looking face and a scar near his eye, smoking a cigar and revealing his stained, yellow teeth.

[Lu Zhanbo, right? You're the one who stole my cabbage?]

[You're really bold!]

……

Zhanbo was startled by his own imagination. He turned to look at Wanyu and forced a smile.

"Wanyu...your family owns a legitimate business, right? You wouldn't resort to violence to solve problems, would you?"

Upon hearing this, Wan Yu was both amused and exasperated: "Of course, our family owns an international bank, not the Japanese mafia or a South Korean chaebol."

"That's good, that's good..."

Zhanbo immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He sat up straight and said very seriously, "Wanyu, what do you think I should do to make your parents more satisfied with me?"

"How about I get a new look, or prepare some gifts?"

"By the way, if I get plastic surgery now, will it be healed in a couple of days?"

Upon hearing Zhanbo's words, everyone sighed and smiled wryly.

It seems that having to face his girlfriend's Fortune 500 parents less than a week into their relationship is quite a lot of pressure for Zhanbo.

At this moment, Zhanbo continued speaking to Wanyu, "I've got it! Wanyu, what do you say about having everyone give me a short-term makeover, like they did with Teacher Zeng before?"

"Need not."

Wanyu gently patted his hand: "Zhanbo, this is the kind of you I like, and this is the kind of you I want my parents to accept. Just be yourself."

"Besides, Teacher Zeng's previous reforms were just to fool the investors. You can't fool my parents forever, can you?"

"Too……"

Although Zhanbo was very nervous, looking at Wanyu beside him gave him boundless courage.

"But Zhanbo can't just do nothing, can he?"

Yifei also took Wanyu's parents' upcoming visit very seriously: "Letting Zhanbo be himself is definitely the right thing to do, but we still need to make the necessary preparations."

"It's like a university final exam. Even if the teacher tells you: as long as you listen carefully in class, you will definitely pass."

"Does his statement mean that the students who were paying attention in class really won't cram at the last minute and won't review at all?"

Everyone nodded, agreeing that Yifei's words made sense.

Zhanbo was stunned after hearing his older sister's words: "How is that possible! You need to attend classes and pay attention to listen in class just to pass an exam?"

Everyone: (⊙﹏⊙)……

Great, so this is how a genius student views learning.

Heartbroken.

Yifei waved her hand dismissively and continued, "No matter what, I think it's still necessary to prepare for Zhanbo."

"Even if we don't expect him to cater to her preferences, he should at least think about what questions Wanyu's parents might ask when they come."

She nudged Nanfeng as she spoke: "Nanfeng, if you were to vet your daughter's boyfriend, what would you say to him, what would you ask him?"

Nanfeng raised an eyebrow: "You mean I'm Wanyu's father now?"

"Well... you could say that."

Yifei asked, "If you were Wanyu's father, what would you say to Zhanbo, and what would you ask him?"

"Let me think..."

Nanfeng coughed lightly, sat up straight, and spoke in a middle-aged man's accent.

"Lu Zhanbo, is that you? You're the one who stole my cabbage?"

"You've got some nerve."

Zhanbo was startled. At this moment, Nanfeng's words and voice were exactly like the image he had just imagined.

He quickly lowered his head and said guiltily, "Yes, it was me..."

"Oh……"

Nanfeng nodded, looked at Zhanbo, and said seriously, "In that case, then you... call me Dad."

"ah?!!"

Everyone nearly had a back injury from Nanfeng's words.

Nanfeng turned to look at Yifei and continued in a serious tone, "This is Yifei, right? From now on, we're all family. You can call me 'Dad' just like Zhanbo did..."

"Dad my foot!"

Yifei slapped Nanfeng hard on the back, gritting her teeth and growling, "You've been getting more and more mischievous lately! I asked you to help Zhanbo, and you tried to take advantage of my brother and me!"

"I never said I could help with this."

Nanfeng pursed her lips: "Please, I'm the youngest of the six guys in the apartment. How am I supposed to know what a middle-aged man with a daughter would think or do?"

Everyone nodded, agreeing with Nanfeng's point. After all, he was the only male in the apartment who had never been in a relationship, even Zhang Wei had dated a woman in her thirties.

Zhanbo could only look to Ziqiao for help: "Ziqiao, what do you think?"

Ziqiao covered his still-swollen cheek and laughed defiantly, "Don't ask me. I refuse to comment on your matter or offer any help."

He glared at Zhanbo fiercely, his tone full of grievance and resentment: "I helped you so much on Valentine's Day and treated you so well, and how did you treat me in return?"

"As a notary public, you should have been supervising the enforcement of the law impartially, but because of your own selfish interests, you actually changed the outcome of the entire betting game."

Lu Zhanbo, I despise you!

"Your abuse of power will be a disgrace for the rest of your life, and you will take it to your grave."

Ziqiao angrily turned away from Zhanbo, saying, "From now on, your tombstone will read: Lu Zhanbo, a dutiful husband, a reliable boyfriend, a shameful friend, and an unjust slap witness!"

His words made not only Zhanbo feel embarrassed, but even the other notaries who were slapped felt ashamed.

To be fair, last night's typhoon night gave Tzu-Chiao a pretty good chance of winning, but what could he do when Zhan-Bo's confession just happened to require so many roses?

They can't expect Zhanbo to give up confessing his feelings just because of a notarized slap, can they?

"Ziqiao~~~"

Yifei knew that Zhanbo had really wronged Ziqiao this time. As Zhanbo's older sister, she sat down next to Ziqiao with a smile and said in a coquettish, affected voice.

"Zhanbo was wrong about the Tathagata Palm incident. I promise you, he will make it up to you later."

"Even if you're angry with Zhanbo and don't want to help him, at least consider my feelings, okay?"

"hiss……"

Ziqiao was disgusted by Yifei's sickeningly sweet voice; her coquettishness was nowhere near as good as Meijia's.

He covered his cheek, taking a wary step back: "If I were to say I wouldn't give you that face... would that be alright?"

"Can."

Yifei's smile remained gentle, and her tone was still soft and gentle: "You can give it a try."

In that instant, everyone felt the temperature of 3601 rapidly dropping to freezing point.

Startled, Ziqiao repeatedly said, "I'll help, I'll definitely help!"

"readily!"

Yifei gave a thumbs up: "I'll cover your rent and utilities this month. Consider it an apology from us, the group of 'slapping notaries,' for our lax enforcement of the law."

"As for your debt with Zhanbo, you two can settle it privately from now on."

Ziqiao was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying, "What a righteous woman!"

"Stop talking nonsense and get to work."

"Yes, yes, please help me..."

Zi Qiao paused, as if he had suddenly realized something.

After a while, Ziqiao shrugged, looking helpless: "Well, I don't seem to have any experience dealing with my girlfriend's parents."

"You know, usually before a girl asks me to meet her parents... I've already broken up and left."

"Depend on!"

Everyone was speechless upon hearing this, but it was their own fault. How could they have thought that a playboy like Ziqiao would have any experience dealing with a girl's parents?

Of course, if only Wanyu's mother came, the situation might be very different.

Yu Mo thought for a moment and pointed to Zeng Xiaoxian, who was watching the show from the side: "Why don't you ask Teacher Zeng about this? He really did meet Yifei's parents last Spring Festival as her boyfriend. He should have more experience in this area than others."

"no."

Before Xiaoxian could react, Zhanbo said without hesitation, "Teacher Zeng's situation is too special. When he came to our house, my parents went to greet him with tears in their eyes."

"My parents were afraid that Teacher Zeng would not be satisfied with our family, and that my sister would be stuck in their hands and unable to get married. The two of them were so enthusiastic that it was terrifying."

"Especially when Teacher Zeng promised them that he would treat my older sister well for the rest of his life, my dad was so excited that he almost wanted to become sworn brothers with him on the spot."

"Teacher Zeng's situation is too unique; it's not a good reference point at all."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Everyone burst out laughing upon hearing this. If Teacher Zeng had said something so outrageous, they might have thought he was just bragging.

But Zhanbo is an honest kid and doesn't usually lie. Besides, Yifei is already so angry that her eyes are wide open and she's practically steaming. So this is definitely true.

It's no wonder Yifei is always so concerned about Zhanbo's marriage; it's just family tradition, passed down through generations.

"Lu! Zhan! Bo!"

Yifei gritted her teeth and growled, each word distinct and deliberate.

Doesn't this idiot know that family scandals shouldn't be aired in public?

"Sister Yifei, calm down! Calm down!"

Curry Sauce quickly reassured Yifei, "The important thing is to take care of things now, let's put everything else aside for now."

Zhanbo now realized that what he had just said was enough to get his older sister to beat him up, so he quickly nodded repeatedly: "Yes, important matters come first, everything else can wait."

Before Yifei could answer, Zhanbo looked to Guangu and Youyou for help.

"Guan Gu and Youyou, have you told your families about your relationship? Have they suggested that you bring each other home to meet them?"

Whenever this matter was mentioned, Youyou pinched Ziqiao in an annoyed manner.

"I did want to tell my family, but who knew that my heartless nephew would sell the news to my twelve sisters for two hundred yuan each beforehand."

"Lu Ziqiao, you're the worst of the worst!"

Ziqiao gave an ingratiating, awkward smile: "No matter who says you're in a relationship, it's all just talk. Since that's the case, I might as well let you earn some extra money."

"Get lost!"

Youyou felt extremely wronged: "I kept this so important for three whole days, and only after I had prepared myself emotionally did I announce it to my family."

"Because of you, my mood is completely ruined!"

"long."

Zhanbo awkwardly reminded him, "You seem to have gone off-topic again."

"Huh? Oh..."

Still not satisfied, Youyou pinched Ziqiao again. Only after seeing Ziqiao wince in pain did she answer Zhanbo's question.

"My parents did tell me to bring Guan Gu back to meet them during the Lunar New Year, but we're staying at the apartment this year, so we didn't go back."

"Oh, right."

Youyou turned to look at Guangu, hugged his arm, and asked with a sweet smile, "Guanguan, what did your parents say after they found out we were dating?"

What do they think of me?

"Forehead……"

Guan Gu fell into a long silence, while Youyou's smiling, crescent-shaped eyes grew increasingly dangerous in the silence.

"Honey, we've been dating for almost six months now. You haven't told your parents you're in a relationship yet, have you?"

Everyone present instantly felt a chill run down their spines.

I'm coming

I'll update 5,000 words today. My eyes have been very dry and tired lately. They were feeling a bit better after resting for a couple of days, but they've gotten even worse these past two days since I started writing.

However, Pigeon was prepared and bought a large monitor during Singles' Day. The monitor arrived today, but the data cable hasn't arrived yet. When the cable and eye drops arrive tomorrow, Pigeon will be fully revived, hahaha.
