Unexpectedly, the family gathering went much smoother than Zhao Yu had expected.
Inside the Sofitel Domed Restaurant, Miao Ying's family's laughter could be heard. The atmosphere was very pleasant and harmonious.
Zhao Yu didn't expect his mother-in-law, whose code name was Cactus, to be so sarcastic when she spoke to him. Now, it was as if she had changed into a different person. She even laughed heartily!
At the dining table, she asked Zhao Yu about the details of the engagement, focusing on the anecdote of Zhao Yu's fight with the King of Fighters, Sangenov.
Zhao Yu then realized that his mother-in-law was just like his father-in-law. They both had a strong interest in fighting, so she asked about it in detail.
It seemed that the reason she regretted not attending the engagement was not because of the engagement itself, but because she had missed the "exciting" fight.
When his mother-in-law heard that Zhao Yu hadn't waited for the competition to start, but had punched Sangenov, she laughed so hard that she almost spat out the food in her mouth.
However, after she calmed down, she praised Zhao Yu, saying that he was flexible, knew how to judge the situation, and was thick-skinned. These were the qualities that a good agent should have.
Zhao Yu paused in surprise, then sighed. This was the first time someone had used thick-skinned as a compliment! It was obviously a compliment, but why did it sound like a curse?
When Zhao Yu said this, everyone burst into laughter.
Li Jie was a child, after all. He didn't care about the delicacies, so he was full without eating much. So, Xu Qin arranged for the agents to accompany the child to play with the toys in the distance.
After seeing Li Jie leave, the family at the dining table no longer had any barriers and began to discuss their work.
As the family were all agents of the Secret Service, there was no need to say anything to each other, so the conversation was quite congenial.
Although Xu Qin already knew Zhao Yu's background, she still focused on the missions that Zhao Yu had completed in the past.
From Miracle Island, to the House of Sin, to Seoul, South Korea, the Uranus cruise ship, and the attack on the Billionaire Building …
Zhao Yu spoke with fervor and assurance, showing off his shameless abilities from time to time. Everyone was fascinated by his words, and they couldn't help but laugh.
At some critical moments, Miao Kun, Miao Kun's father-in-law, would come out to make jokes and make witty remarks, which made the atmosphere even more lively.
"Zhao Yu," Xu Qin said. "Although we haven't met before, I know that you are my future son-in-law, so I have to pay more attention to you!
"To be honest, your performance since you joined the Secret Service can no longer be described as outstanding. If it had been someone else, they wouldn't have been able to complete the mission. They might not even have survived!" Xu Qin praised. "No wonder Old Miao treats you like a treasure and thinks so highly of you!
"In my opinion, whether it was the House of Sin or Seoul, Korea, without Zhao Yu …" Xu Qin turned to look at Miao Kun. "I'm afraid Miao Lao would have become the real Miao Lao long ago."
"Hmm … these words … sigh! I'll take it that you're concerned about me! " Miao Kun took a sip of his wine and said self-deprecatingly, "The new generation excels the old, and every generation has its own talents!
"However, seeing that my future son-in-law has the same charm as I did back then," Miao Kun praised. "I'm deeply gratified and satisfied! Hehe … "
Miao Kun's words caused everyone to laugh again.
"Don't joke around, it's usually just a joke!" Zhao Yu picked up his glass and drank with his father-in-law. "But to be honest, you've always been my role model!
"I've learned a lot from you. If you hadn't brought me in, I wouldn't have become such an excellent detective today! Come … Let's brothers, oh no, let's have a toast! "
With that, the two clinked their glasses and downed their drinks.
Today, they were still drinking red wine, but Zhao Yu didn't know what brand it was. He only knew that the wine prepared by his father-in-law was definitely not bad.
"But," Xu Qin reminded him, "Zhao Yu, although you're famous for being a crazy detective, as your mother-in-law, I have to remind you to be more careful in the future!"
Zhao Yu understood that his mother-in-law was sincerely saying this for his own good, so he quickly cupped his fists and bowed. "You're right, I'll be more careful in the future!"
"If this building attack was really caused by that Yaksha," Xu Qin said, "then we have to be even more vigilant. These people are best at assassinations!
"You've killed so many of their people, so you'll definitely be a key target for revenge. So, I suggest that you send Li Jie back …"
"One more person to protect means one more experience!" Xu Qin said. "Also, I suggest that you apply to the higher-ups as soon as possible to secretly protect your family, just in case!"
"Really?" Zhao Yu frowned. "This year, this is the umpteenth time I've had to protect my family. Even if I don't get annoyed, they'll get annoyed!"
"It doesn't matter," Miao Kun said. "I've already made arrangements. For now, only secret protection will be carried out. If anything goes wrong, we'll increase the level of protection!"
"Oh, that's good, that's good …" Zhao Yu wiped his sweat and said, "Don't worry! Leave the matter of this Yaksha to me!
"I know that the higher-ups gave you 24 hours," Zhao Yu said confidently. "Don't worry, I will get to the bottom of this!"
Just like that, the family exchanged opinions about the time of the Volvo Building. Seeing that it was almost time, the happy family gathering was about to end.
Ding Lan was responsible for Li Jie's safety with a team of agents and took Li Jie back to the hotel for a rest.
The mother-in-law had something to tell her daughter, so she took Miao Ying away.
Soon, only his father-in-law, Miao Kun, and Zhao Yu were left in the large domed restaurant.
At that moment, Miao Kun's cheeks were red and he was tipsy. After everyone had left, he put his hand on Zhao Yu's shoulder and said,
"Zhao Yu, I really have to say thank you! Today's gathering has also fulfilled a wish that I've had for many years! "
"Is that so? Don't stand on ceremony! "Zhao Yu filled both of their glasses." We're a family, so there's no need to stand on ceremony! "
Miao Kun said. "When I divorced Xu Qin, Miao Miao was the one I owed the most …
"I've mentioned it many times before that we should have a meal together as a family, but … that spiky ball … She just doesn't buy it. She's just so stubborn …"
"Um …" Zhao Yu tried to ask, "Father-in-law, how did you get together with mother-in-law in the first place? Since you know that she's a spiky ball … Um … Cactus, why did you … "
"Sigh!" Miao Kun took a sip of his wine bitterly and said, "She's too beautiful. She's so beautiful that it makes you forget about her personality. I don't know … Have you ever felt that way?"
Zhao Yu looked up and gave him a thumbs-up.
"I've tried to adapt," Miao Kun said. "But every time, it always backfires.
Of course, personality is one thing, but the main reason is work! Our special jobs mean that we can't have a stable family! "
"I even rarely let Miao Ying and Ding Lan see each other. I let them grow up in two different places, because I was afraid that something dangerous would happen and threaten both of them at the same time.
So, gradually, their feelings for each other faded. I'm afraid that this is the legendary saying, 'time forgets love'.
So, now you should know why I insisted on opposing Miao Ying joining the Secret Service, right? "
"Holy sh * t …" Zhao Yu said. "You're against your daughter, but you're urging me to do it with such vigor! That's so hurtful! "
"F * ck you!" Miao Kun scolded him. "That's because I trust you. I believe that you're really capable!
To tell you the truth, what I'm most worried about now is that you and Miao Ying will repeat our mistakes. Because of this special job, you won't be able to maintain a normal family life.
"It's not just me. Xu Qin must be worried too! And this is also one of the reasons … "Miao Kun hesitated, then said," We didn't rush to urge you to get married … "
"Um … Um …"
Zhao Yu seriously thought about his father-in-law's words. He felt that his father-in-law's worries were indeed very reasonable, and he couldn't refute them.
In fact, during the previous few missions, Zhao Yu had already felt that his relationship with Miao Ying had become unstable because of work.
But, after all, he was still young, so he didn't think too much about it.
If he and Miao Ying were still members of the Special Investigation Group of the Criminal Division, it wouldn't be difficult to have a family and work life together.
But … the work of the Secret Service was completely different. Not only was it dangerous, but it was also inevitable that they would be apart more often than not.
"Then …" Zhao Yu asked Miao Kun, "What do you think?"
"I've thought about it, and there's only one way! There's no such thing as the best of both worlds, "Miao Kun said firmly." If you really want to be together and maintain your family, then the two of you can only … quit!!! "
