987 Staying in the Zhou family
According to the Hu family’s status, it was easy to buy a house with good security, so Hu Guo did not have to stay in the Zhou residence.
Before Yun Xi could speak, Old Master Hu said, “That’s right. Hu Guo is young and inexperienced. We still have lingering fears from what happened before. We’re indeed worried about her being out there alone.” People of the same family indeed had similar thoughts.
What was his granddaughter thinking? As a grandfather, he was naturally clear about this.
Hu Guo’s desire to enter the Zhou family had long been obvious. As his grandfather, he could naturally see it.
Since there was this opportunity, Old Master Hu went along with the flow. He would be happy to see the marriage with the Zhou family happen. “Hu Guo has been in a bad mood at home, and we’re worried about her safety when she’s out. So, please give me some face.”
“Don’t you think so, old friend?” It was rare for Old Master Hu to speak up, so Old Master Zhou could not reject him. However, he was worried that Hu Guo would affect Zhou Lin and Yun Xi’s relationship.
Old Master Zhou was caught in a dilemma.
Yun Xi could tell that Old Master Zhou was in a difficult position. She immediately replied, “The Zhou residence is such a big place. If there’s one more person, the house will be livelier.
Even though Yun Xi had said so, Old Master Zhou was still worried.
Hu Guo naturally had a reason for staying at the Zhou residence. Everyone knew that her purpose was Zhou Lin.
Old Master Zhou could tell that Hu Guo really moved in, it would probably affect the relationship between Zhou Lin and Yun Xi.
Although he believed that Zhou Lin would not make a mistake, who would be happy to see someone coveting her boyfriend at home? How could Old Master Zhou be at ease? However, he could not find a reason to reject her.
He had thought that the matter of moving into the Zhou family would be settled just like that, but he did not expect Yun Xi’s next words to make Hu Guo dumbfounded.
“But the situation is different now. Grandpa Hu, you’ve seen it for yourself. Uncle Zhou needs to rest. If Miss Hu goes now, it will affect his recovery. Uncle Zhou will still be hospitalized for a while. Zhou Lin and I also took leaves to take care of him in the hospital. If Miss Hu is living alone in the Zhou family’s house, we are worried about her safety!”
“When Uncle Zhou is better, we will always welcome her to visit us. It’s just that it’s not appropriate for her to visit us now. I’m really sorry.” Yun Xi’s words immediately shut Old Master Hu up. The words were at the tip of his tongue, but he could not say them out loud. He could not refute Yun Xi’s words.
However, Hu Guo naturally was not willing to give up. After all, how could he let go of such a good opportunity?
“I’ll be fine,” Hu Guo said eagerly. “The Zhou residence is definitely safer than outside. I can help take care of Grandpa Zhou when he’s discharged. This way, Yun Xi, you can relax a little.”
No matter what, Hu Guo had to move into the Zhou family’s residence today.
After hearing Hu Guo’s words, Yun Xi shook her head and sighed. “If you go to work, you’ll be very tired. You’ll not be able to take care of Uncle Zhou, and you’ll also affect his rest. You’ll need to focus on work, so I won’t trouble you with this.
“You’ll be very tired if you have to take care of both sides.” It looked like Yun Xi was being considerate of Hu Guo, but in reality, she had rejected Hu Guo.
However, even though Yun Xi had already put it this way, Hu Guo still opened er mouth and tried to explain.
“Alright, Yun Xi’s words make sense. When you go to work, you won’t be able to spare any attention. You can’t even take care of yourself, yet you still want to take care of Grandpa Zhou.” Before Hu Guo could say anything, he was interrupted by Old Master Hu.
Although he was not convinced, he could only swallow his words.
After all, the other party’s intentions had already been laid bare. If they continued to speak like this, it would only cause some unhappiness between both parties.
Old Master Hu could tell that the Old Master Zhou and Zhou Lin had been unwilling to let Hu Guo move in from the beginning.
That was why the Zhou father and son did not refute Yun Xi’s words.
