She glared at me with annoyance, grunted coldly, and dragged her brother away in discontent.

After the door slammed shut, her sharp and squeaky complaints could be heard in the hallway.

"Nian Xiaotao, is your whole family clueless? No one is going to rein her in? Look at the way she just acted, does she ever consider her family's reputation?"

"She doesn't treat me like a sister at all, with that attitude of hers. I'm not an employee of her company!"

"I'm a front-desk receptionist for a Fortune 500 company, at the very least ..."

"..."

As the voices grew more distant, my anger grew as well.

What nonsense is this, causing trouble for me late at night?

I was feeling furious and was about to call my parents to ask about it when my brother called me directly.

"Sis, Yuyan is just straightforward, she's a bit naive, don't take it to heart. I just lectured her, she won't act so presumptuously again in the future."

He also informed me that he planned to bring his girlfriend home to meet our parents over the weekend and asked me to be there.

He also said she wanted to apologize to me in person.

His words left me stunned, making me wonder whether she was having a temporary mental lapse or if I was being unreasonable?

I initially wanted to tell him about what I heard in the hallway, but then I thought, my brother is someone who I raised and influenced since he was young, I have more influence over him than our parents do, he wouldn't choose a girlfriend who's so clueless.

On the other hand, I have a terrible temperament, whenever I'm tired it's easy for me to lose my temper.

The day before yesterday, I even blew up at Zhou Yunqiao.

It wasn't a big deal.

After visiting a house, I tried to contact him several times, but he didn't reply at all.

Furious, I called him and found out that he was in a meeting, which he had informed me about beforehand.

But I had already lost my temper, and even his subordinates all knew that I was a shrew.

Zhou Yunqiao is the sales director, and I tried to explain the situation to him as truthfully as possible, and in the end, he came to this conclusion:

"Yuanyuan, your temper, apart from me, no one can bear it. But that girl really is a bit presumptuous."

He sighed on the other end of the phone.

Indeed, my brother, who is in love, is very likely to be deceived and take ignorance as sincerity.

Early in the morning on the weekend, I brought Zhou Yunqiao back to my home.

My mother, who used to be a chef, was preparing various dishes, thinking that once everything was prepared and in place, she would start cooking when the guests arrived.

When Zhou Yunqiao came in, he immediately washed his hands and went into the kitchen to help my mother.

From our college days to now, he has come to my house countless times, and my parents have long treated him like a son.

"Go talk to Dad, we're good here just the two of us,"

After chatting briefly with my mother about the events of the previous night, she just smiled and pushed me out with her elbow.

This made me realize that my mother has completely changed, she used to favor boys over girls.

Through my ongoing struggle and establishing my own company, my status at home has reached the top, and they all have to consider my opinions.

"Yuanyuan, how's the preparation for the wedding house..."

My father sat on the sofa, dividing the candy he bought into small dishes, and chatted with me about daily life.

In fact, I brought Zhou Yunqiao here to take the opportunity to talk to my parents face-to-face about our marriage.

Hearing my complaint about searching for a house alone, my father scolded me, saying that Zhou Yunqiao's parents had passed away early, and he was an only child, and had no one to rely on. He had worked hard to get to where he is now, and asked me to be more understanding of him.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

I hurried to open the door, and Liu Yuyan, dressed in a red suspender dress, came in with my brother carrying two boxes of milk, then loudly announced,...

"Dad, Mom, sis, Yuyan is here, this milk is specially bought for the two of you by her~"

With a loud call, she pulled my mother out of the kitchen, wiping her apron with her arm as she accepted the milk from Liu Yuyan.

"Oh, Yuyan, I've told Xiaotao many times to bring you here..."

However, Liu Yuyan seemed to not hear, standing still at the door, her eyes fixed straight ahead, not saying a word.

My brother quickly took over the conversation, and gave her a nudge with his elbow while doing so.

But she still remained silent. What's going on with her?

I followed her gaze in surprise and realized that she was looking at Zhou Yunqiao, who was busy in the kitchen.

Surprisingly, even through the glass, his tall figure and perfect profile were truly attractive, like the male lead in a movie or TV show.

"Who is that person? He's so handsome!"

For quite a while, she drooled and turned to my brother, full of envy, and asked.

"He's my brother-in-law, didn't I tell you?"

Xiaotao smiled and took her into the living room, but her next words froze me.
