Chapter 481: Future Son-in-law vs Future Father-in-law (2/2)
As an old fisherman, Bae Dong-kyu naturally knows the rivers in Daegu where he can fish.
He directly invited Jiang Zhaohuan to get into his SUV. From the complete set of fishing equipment in the trunk, it can be seen that he really loves fishing.
Jiang Zhaohuan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, fell into a confused state again. He just sat upright and looked straight ahead.
He thought that after a few contacts, he would be able to easily chat with his girlfriend's elders.
But when he was really alone, he became nervous again and didn't even know what to say.
Pei Dongkui glanced secretly to the side and noticed that Do Hwan's back was straight. If you didn't know better, you would think that the boy had just returned from military service.
He pursed his lips hard to hold back his smile.
"Zhaohuan, you were quite busy at work these days, weren't you?"
Jiang Zhaohuan racked his brains to think of a conversation, and when he heard Pei's father take the initiative to bring up the topic, he quickly responded.
"Yes, Zhu Xuan and I are both very busy at the end of the year. But we are lucky that we have a lot of social interactions at work and can often meet each other."
Bae Dong-kyu isn’t the type to watch the entertainment industry, but he will sit with his wife and watch Korean dramas and variety shows together.
He thought of the praise his colleagues had given to Do Hwan's acting skills some time ago, and he felt really proud of the boyfriend his daughter had found.
Pei Dongkui thought about what his youngest daughter told him. In order to pave the way for Zhu Xuan in the acting industry, Zhao Huan gave up the opportunity to take a vacation.
He chose to join the crew seamlessly, which resulted in him filming two TV series and two movies in the past year at such an intensive rate.
It takes a lot of effort to produce two works a year, let alone four.
Pei Dongkui had long noticed the dark circles under Zhao Huan's eyes, and his usually serious expression loosened up and he smiled lightly:
"Just take a good rest at home these two days. If I don't call you out, you'll go to help in the kitchen again."
Jiang Zhaohuan widened his eyes in surprise. He didn't expect that Pei's father would actually think about him.
He was suddenly a little flattered. After all, from his perspective, he always felt that Pei's father was somewhat blaming him for stealing his precious eldest daughter.
"Uncle, I'm actually fine. I slept well last night and I'm very energetic today."
"You are a little bit like Joohyun in that you like to show off."
"Really? Then uncle, can you tell me about Zhu Xuan?"
Jiang Zhaohuan scratched his cheek a little embarrassedly. He mustered up the courage to continue the topic and continued,
"I actually met Joohyun quite late and completely missed her growth, so I wanted to know what she was like as a child."
Pei Dongkui smiled and he didn't mind talking about some things about his daughter's childhood.
Thinking back to when Bae Joo-hyun was still a little kid, the wrinkles on his face deepened as he smiled.
"Zhu Xuan was not a sensible child since she was young, but after her younger sister was born, she started to act like an older sister."
According to Pei's father, Pei Zhuxuan was a playful type when she was a child. He bought her a lot of toys. She often dressed like a doll when going out, and her twin ponytails were always loose when she came back.
Her naughty and cheerful appearance is somewhat different from now. It may be that the invisible pressure brought by being the captain has suppressed many of her natures.
"Don't Joohyun's fans like to call her 'cabbage'? Actually, she doesn't like this name."
Kang Do Hwan was a little surprised that Bae Joo Hyun didn't like the nickname "Baicai" given by her fans.
Because he knew that "Baicai" was her nickname from early on, so logically she should like it very much.
"Why? Do you think it doesn't sound good?"
"No, it's because when she was in elementary school, the boys in her class liked to tease her by calling her 'cabbage', which caused her to gradually become disgusted with the name. There was even a time when she refused to touch her favorite cabbage kimchi." Do elementary school boys have a bad taste in giving nicknames?
That would be annoying indeed.
Jiang Zhaohuan nodded in understanding. If someone chased him and shouted "summon" when he was in school, he would probably be disgusted.
Jokes between good friends are funny, while jokes between strangers are often unpleasant.
"So that's what happened. Then why did you say, uncle, that Zhu Xuan was just as stubborn as I am?"
"Because her career was not as smooth as yours, the bad publicity in the early stage of her debut made her, as the captain, feel a huge pressure. But every time this child goes home, she never mentions these troubles, and always smiles and says that everything is fine."
Pei Dongkui sighed softly. Now that his daughter had grown up, he indeed had nothing to worry about.
She managed herself so well that she almost missed the little girl who used to love riding on her neck.
Jiang Zhaohuan pursed his lips, but he did not refute this.
He is indeed very similar to Bae Joo-hyun at times, unwilling to share bad news.
Because I am worried that it will cause trouble to the other person, I would rather handle everything by myself.
The stubborn little expression of Bae Joo-hyun appeared in Jiang Zhaohuan's mind. She was indeed that type.
He curled his lips and whispered:
"She is indeed quite stubborn then."
Bae Dong-gyu glanced at Do-hwan's expression and uttered threatening words with a smile in his eyes.
"So if you treat Zhu Xuan badly, I will throw you into the Han River and let you sink."
"Ahem, uncle, I won't give you this chance."
When Pei Dongkui saw Do Hwan straighten his back again, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This child really can't stand being scared, or... he cares too much about what his elders think of him.
"Relax, this is a society ruled by law. The most I can do is throw you into the swimming pool and give you a bath."
"Then uncle, can you show me a picture of Zhu Xuan when she was a child?"
Pei Dongkui couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He didn't expect that this kid would think of the photo album.
That is one of his life treasures, containing the growth of his two precious daughters.
"If you can catch a fish later, I'll show you the album."
"Really?!"
"Am I the kind of unreasonable person? But don't underestimate fishing. The novice reward is just a term. Don't cry when you can't catch any fish."
Jiang Zhaohuan smiled and narrowed his eyes, not worrying at all that he would not be able to catch any fish.
As long as there are fish in the pond, he will succeed.
I really want to see what Joo Hyun looked like when she was a child.
Those released by the authorities are obviously not good enough.
What’s more, what others haven’t seen is even more precious!
Pei Dongkui noticed that Do Hwan's expression changed, and his fingers placed flat on his knees were tapping an unknown rhythm.
This boy really likes Zhu Xuan.
Oh my god, I feel like my daughter is being taken further and further away by him.
