In Lu Zhou's original plan, everything from the engagement to the wedding would be carried out in a low-key manner. Other than the people they were familiar with, it would be best if no outsiders knew about it.
The two people walked quietly into the wedding venue, exchanged rings and vows of love under the blessings of their relatives and friends, then kissed each other sweetly and lived a happy married life.
In the end, they didn't know what went wrong, but the news actually leaked out.
The news of the two people's engagement was like a hurricane. It spread through the entire school at an incredible speed, and then to the entire high school circle.
Then, just like what he saw …
Once again, he had inexplicably become famous …
Not only did his Weibo private messages and comments reach an endless number of 99 +, but even his alternate account on Niu Hu, which had never spoken before, was dug up and tagged by gossipy netizens.
All kinds of anonymous and non-anonymous "insiders" came out and began to talk about the gossip between the two of them from the first-person and third-person perspectives as if they were telling a story.
He had to admire the intelligence gathering ability of these fans. From the time when the two of them studied together in the library, to studying abroad together, to attending the Nobel Prize banquet together, almost everything was dug out. They even happily added a lot of strange stories to the story.
Sometimes, after reading too much of this kind of gossip, even Lu Zhou couldn't help but wonder if he had done those things.
Driven by this gossip trend, the term "Professor Lu Is Single" quickly occupied the top of the hot search list. The popularity even surpassed the Mars landing plan.
When the relevant departments began to reduce the popularity of this topic, the number of people discussing it on Weibo alone exceeded 80 million.
Lu Zhou didn't know what to say for a while.
Even if he didn't want to be famous, God wouldn't let him.
Even if he wanted to keep a low profile, his strength wouldn't allow him to do so.
However, although these gossips brought him a lot of trouble, there was one thing that made him quite happy.
In Lu Zhou's opinion, there was no way he could attract so many people's attention just because of his popularity, and he didn't have a fan group to help him on the rankings.
After all, he wasn't a celebrity; he was just a scholar who focused on his research career.
The reason why things became like this.
It was probably because of the gossip circulating on the Internet, which made many people jealous …
…
Lu Zhou couldn't stay at school for the time being. He sat in the cafeteria and could hear the voices of his juniors talking about him.
For the sake of keeping a low profile, Lu Zhou moved his work location from the mathematics department of Jin Ling University back to the aerospace launch site.
It just so happened that the last launch mission was about to begin.
As the chief designer of the Mars landing, the focus of his work during this period was basically on this matter.
However, just as Lu Zhou moved his work location back, an unexpected person came to him.
"Lu … Lu Zhou! When did I agree to marry my daughter to you? "
The popularity had developed to the point of being a hot topic on the Internet, so it obviously couldn't escape the ears of the family members involved.
Looking at the angry father-in-law in front of him, Lu Zhou quickly stood up from his office chair and greeted him with a smile.
"Uncle Chen, please sit down, I'll pour you a glass of water."
Regardless of who had a higher status, as a son-in-law, of course, he still had to give in to his father-in-law.
Not to mention, he was indeed in the wrong in this matter.
Chen Baohua, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at Lu Zhou, who walked to the side to pour him a cup of tea. His anger finally calmed down a little, and he wasn't as aggressive as when he first entered the door.
After all, he was a person who worked in a government unit, so he was relatively easy to talk to. Although the two of them decided such a big thing behind his back, which made him feel a little annoyed, Lu Zhou's sincere attitude was still satisfactory.
Of course, maybe it was because of Lu Zhou's identity and status.
Maybe even he didn't realize that facing this world-renowned scholar, he wasn't as confident as he thought he was.
Two cups of tea were placed on the table.
Lu Zhou sat on the sofa across from him and looked at his father-in-law, who was silently drinking tea. He was a little embarrassed.
"That … Uncle Chen, there's something I need to apologize to you about."
"So you're sorry?" Chen Baohua smiled and said, "Do you still care about me as a father? Do you still care about your mother? You didn't even come to see us for such a big thing. It's a bit unreasonable. "
"You're mistaken, it's not that we didn't want to see you, it's just that we didn't have time." Lu Zhou sighed and explained sincerely, "That engagement … was just a private agreement between me and Shanshan, it wasn't a formal procedure. In the end, it was overheard by someone, and as it spread, everyone knew about it. That's why it became like this. "
Upon hearing this, Chen Baohua, who was initially calm, was instantly enraged.
"What do you mean? You're saying that the engagement doesn't count? You're just messing with a little girl? "
"I didn't —"
"Let me tell you, don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you're an academician. I, Chen Baohua … am her father! If you dare to let my daughter down, even if I don't want this black hat on my head, I will find a place to explain myself! "
"Of course it does, but I'm explaining the reason to you, right?" Lu Zhou looked at Uncle Chen and said, "What I mean is, we only decided to get engaged in private. We were going to get officially engaged in a couple of days, when we were done here in Jinling. Then, we would go to Beijing together and explain the situation to your family. We didn't expect the news to spread so fast. We didn't even have time to leave before the news reached you. "
After listening to Lu Zhou's explanation, Chen Baohua finally realized that things were not what he had imagined. He had completely misunderstood. He couldn't help but have an awkward expression on his face.
In fact, as a father, he was quite open-minded.
When it came to marriage and future family, no matter what choice his daughter made, he would support her decision. The only thing he was worried about was that she had been bullied outside or cheated by others.
Overall, he was quite satisfied with his son-in-law.
Chen Baohua snorted and put on a serious expression. He nodded "reluctantly".
"That's more like it …"
Lu Zhou looked at this troublesome father-in-law and said, "You're right.
"So you're saying … you agree?"
"I agree! Why wouldn't I agree? "Chen Baohua stared at Lu Zhou, who was sitting across the sofa, and said confidently," If you want to run away, I'm telling you, there's no such thing as a free lunch. "
Lu Zhou: "…"
F * ck!
At first, when he saw his father-in-law's attitude, he thought he was against this marriage. He didn't expect him to be so easygoing.
It seemed like there was no need to elope.
Lu Zhou, who was relieved, reached out and picked up the teacup. He took a sip of tea and moistened his dry throat.
However, Chen Baohua, who was sitting across the sofa, suddenly coughed softly and looked at him.
"Speaking of which, when are you guys planning to have children?"
Lu Zhou almost spat out the tea he had just drunk. He coughed and put down the teacup. He raised his arm and wiped the corners of his mouth before speaking.
"This … still depends on Yushan's opinion. Marriage is a joint matter between two people. I can't make a decision alone. But I think it's still a bit too fast to have a child right after getting married. We have to wait at least a month or two — "
"You can't let her do this!" Chen Baohua interrupted Lu Zhou's words and said immediately, "When this marriage is over, you guys have to hurry up and have a child! Let me have a grandson within a year, this isn't too much, right? "
Lu Zhou looked at Chen Baohua's serious face and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
This wasn't a question of whether it was too much or not.
A second ago, this old man was asking him why he "promised" to his daughter without even saying goodbye, and the next second, he was urging him to have a child.
This sudden turn of events caught him off guard.
Besides, having a child wasn't like laying an egg. How could he just give birth?
Lu Zhou didn't know what to say about this strange request.
Seeing that his son-in-law didn't object, Chen Baohua nodded with approval and stood up from the sofa.
"Then let's leave it at that, business is more important, I won't bother you anymore."
"Oh yeah, don't tell Yushan that I came here today. Pretend like nothing happened. After you guys finish work here, you guys should go to Beijing. Your auntie really wants to see you, she's been talking to me about it for a long time. "
"Okay …"
Even though he doubted if his acting skills could fool Chen Yushan, when he saw Chen Baohua's trusting eyes, Lu Zhou felt like he had to try his best …
