A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 270 Meeting the Parents

"Mom, look at what you're saying. I told you, you don't need to worry about my affairs. What you should worry about is my second brother's. Use this money to help him with his wedding. If you think it's too much, then keep it for him to start his own business in the future!"

Huang Xiongwu said, "My elder brother's body is barely cold, and we're already talking about money. Isn't that a bit inappropriate? Mom, let's listen to our third sister! We can discuss anything after my elder brother's seven-day mourning period."

Huang's mother sighed and said, "Alright! I'll do whatever you say."

G Province, S City, L District

Su Haijun had just finished adjusting his breathing when his phone rang in his pocket. He took it out, hesitated for a moment, then swiped the screen and put it to his ear.

"Hey, honey, you finally answered the phone! I thought you'd disappeared again! Tell me, what have you been up to these past few days? Why was your phone off the whole time? Were you out chasing girls?"

The other party immediately launched into a tirade of reprimands, to which Su Haijun replied with a wry smile, "What are you talking about! The bar has been incredibly busy these past few days, I simply don't have the time!"

"Then why did you turn off your phone? You must have done something wrong. Confess honestly, and you'll be treated leniently if you do, or severely punished if you resist!"

"Julian, stop messing around. I've been really busy these past few days. You can ask me if you don't believe me."

"Really?"

"Yes, really, I'm not lying to you."

"Okay then! Honey, I have something to tell you! My parents want to meet you. They want you to come over for dinner tomorrow."

"what?"

"What 'huh'? Just tell me if you're coming or not!"

"Um... Julian, can we do it another day? I've been so busy these past few days."

"Anyway, I don't care. I've already promised my parents that you'd come tomorrow. Whether you come or not is up to you. If you don't come, you'll have to bear the consequences. You decide what to do!"

"Beep beep!"

Julian decisively hung up the phone. Su Haijun shook his head and smiled bitterly, then got up and put his phone back in his pocket.

In a luxury mansion in G City, G Province, Su Haijun appeared at the front door like a ghost, straightened his clothes, and then rang the doorbell.

"Ding dong!"

"Who is it?"

There was a display screen at the entrance showing the face of a middle-aged woman.

"who are you looking for?"

Su Haijun said, "Hello, I'm here to see Julian. Could you please tell her that Su Haijun is looking for her?"

"OK, just a second!"

A few seconds later, the middle-aged woman reappeared on the screen. With a click of the iron gate, she said, "Mr. Su, Miss Su requests your presence!"

"Thank you!"

As soon as Su Haijun stepped into the mansion, Julian rushed out and hugged him tightly, exclaiming joyfully, "Darling, how did you get here so quickly?" Suddenly, her face turned cold, and she grabbed his collar, saying in a chilling voice, "I just spoke to you on the phone, and you're already at my doorstep. Tell me, what mischief did you get up to last night?"

Su Haijun said with a wry smile, "Julian, I'm innocent! Actually, I came here this morning, intending to give you a surprise, but who knew you would wrong me."

"Hehe, really?"

"Really, I'd be damned if I lied to you."

"Oh, what are you saying? I was just kidding! Hehe, darling, come on, let's go inside and talk."

Upon entering, Julian said to the middle-aged woman who was cleaning, "Aunt Wu, could you please call my parents and tell them my boyfriend is here? Tell them to leave work early and buy some extra groceries."

"Okay, miss."

Julian pulled Su Haijun's hand and led him upstairs to her room. After closing the door, she eagerly pounced on Su Haijun.

"Honey, I've missed you so much!"

"I miss you as well."

The two embraced and began to kiss passionately...

"Boom boom boom!"

A knock sounded on the door, followed by Wu Mama's voice: "Miss, Master and Madam are back and want you to come downstairs."

"understood."

Julian pinched Su Haijun's nose and giggled, "Honey, my parents are back."

Su Haijun smiled, and the two of them got dressed and went downstairs.

In the lobby, a slightly overweight middle-aged man was sitting on the sofa drinking tea. He was dressed in a suit and tie, and looked like an official.

He is Julian's father, Zhu Zhengde, a high-ranking official in G Province. The middle-aged woman sitting next to him is Julian's mother, a high-ranking official in G City.

"Dad, mom."

After going downstairs, Julian went straight to his mother, hugged her, and kissed her on the cheek.

Mrs. Zhu patted her daughter's back affectionately and asked with a smile, "Julian, where is he?"

Julian looked up at Su Haijun, who was walking over, and smiled, "Then."

"Uncle and Aunt, hello!"

Su Haijun greeted him politely.

Zhu Zhengde smiled and said, "Hello!"

Mrs. Zhu smiled and said, "Navy, don't stand, sit down."

"Thank you, aunt."

After Aunt Wu served tea, Zhu Zhengde asked, "Navy! How is your father doing?"

Su Haijun replied, "Uncle, my father is usually quite busy, but otherwise he's doing well."

Zhu Zhengde nodded and said, "Your father and I have been comrades-in-arms for many years and are old acquaintances."

Su Haijun asked with slight surprise, "Uncle, were you a soldier before?"

Julian interjected, "My dad was also a soldier!"

Zhu Zhengde laughed and said, "Your father now holds a large army and shoulders heavy national responsibilities. It's difficult for us old comrades-in-arms to even meet up normally."

Su Haijun said, "My father rarely comes home throughout the year, so I only get to see him a few times."

Zhu Zhengde nodded and said, "That's normal. Navy, with such a good family background, why don't you take the civil service exam?"

Upon hearing this, Su Haijun smiled wryly and said, "When I was in high school, I originally wanted to apply to a military academy, but my parents absolutely refused. After graduating, I said I wanted to apply for a civil service position, but my parents disagreed again, so..."

Zhu Zhengde shook his head and smiled, saying, "I really don't know what Lao Su is thinking."

Julian interjected, "Dad, the Navy has opened a bar!"

Mrs. Zhu asked, "Navy! How's business at the bar?"

Su Haijun replied, "It's alright for now."

Mrs. Zhu nodded and said, "Your uncle and I only have this one daughter. Your uncle and I wholeheartedly approve of her dating you. Do your parents know?"

Su Haijun replied, "My parents know that Julian is dating someone."

Mrs. Zhu asked, "So when do you plan to get married?"

Upon hearing about the wedding, Julian beamed with joy, hugged her mother, leaned on her shoulder, and said sweetly, "Mom."

Zhu Zhengde shook his head and smiled, saying, "Girls really are a case of 'once they grow up, they're gone!' Navy, Julian told me that you two are planning to get married at the end of the year, is that true?"
