Chapter 740 A little thought

At this time, Wang Xiaoqin brought Jin Zhuangzhuang to Lin Hao and said softly:
"Teacher Ma, your dunk just now was amazing, so wonderful!"

Lin Hao took a sip of water and asked with a puzzled look: "Who are you?"

"Teacher Ma, you can't recognize me after I changed my hairstyle! I am Zhuangzhuang's mother!" Wang Xiaoqin said with a smile: "We have met before!"

Looking at the enthusiastic Wang Xiaoqin, Lin Hao had no interest in her and said perfunctorily:
"Oh~, sorry, it's been so long that my memory is not good."

Facing Lin Hao's indifference, Wang Xiaoqin still said enthusiastically: "It's okay, it's okay, I won't hold it against you, just remember me in the future!"

"By the way, do you have anything to do for me?" Lin Hao asked.

Wang Xiaoqin pulled Jin Zhuangzhuang and said, "Come on, tell Teacher Ma yourself!"

Jin Zhuangzhuang was a little shy, but with his mother's encouragement, he bravely said, "Teacher Ma, I want to join the basketball team!"

Lin Hao looked at the sturdy Jin Zhuangzhuang and joked with a smile: "Don't you hate physical education the most? Why do you suddenly want to join the basketball team?"

"I, this, that~!" Jin Zhuangzhuang said hesitantly.

Wang Xiaoqin quickly pulled Jin Zhuangzhuang, gave him a look and said:
"Look at you, kid, you're so nervous. Didn't you tell your mother that your biggest dream is to become an athlete?"

"Oh, yes, I'm doing it for my dream!" Jin Zhuangzhuang quickly agreed.

"Haha!" Lin Hao looked at Jin Zhuangzhuang and said with a smile: "I remember you said that your dream is to eat chicken legs every day!"

Jin Zhuangzhuang looked silly, but his brain was quite responsive. Thinking of Lin Hao's demeanor just now, he said:
"I saw Mr. Ma's slam dunk and was impressed by your style. So my dream of eating chicken legs has not changed, but I have also added a dream of slam dunking a basketball."

"Okay, it's a good thing to have dreams. It's much better than those who are muddleheaded!" However, Lin Hao said with some embarrassment:

"But the members of our team have already been decided, and they are familiar with each other, so we can't break them up!"

"Teacher Ma, for the sake of the children, let's make an exception!" Wang Xiaoqin said softly, "Even if it means just being a substitute player!"

"To be honest, the players on the school team have been selected through layers of selection. It's not that I don't want my child to join the school team!"

"The most important thing is that the preliminaries have already started. It's a bit late for Zhuangzhuang to come now. He doesn't even have enough time to practice!"

Although he knew that Wang Xiaoqin had ulterior motives, Lin Hao still said patiently:
"If you really want to join the school team, you should participate in the tryouts this year for basic training, and then participate in the tryouts next semester!"

Seeing Lin Hao's refusal, Wang Xiaoqin thought for a moment and said:

"Teacher Ma, just like you said, this kid has no foundation at all. He may not even be able to join the school team when he participates in the selection next year!"

Then Wang Xiaoqin revealed her true intentions:

"How about you take the trouble to give Zhuangzhuang some extra lessons in private, just like the extra lessons in Chinese, math and English. There just so happens to be a basketball stadium near my home. I'll pay you by the hour for the lessons, okay?"

Lin Hao smiled and shook his head and said, "This is not a matter of money. It is the teacher's duty to teach students!"

"Don't worry about the tuition fees. If Zhuangzhuang really wants to play basketball, he can train with the basketball team as a non-staff member. I will let other team members guide him!"

Then Lin Hao looked at Jin Zhuangzhuang and asked, "Do you have the determination and perseverance?"

Wang Xiaoqin was a little disappointed when she heard this, but she believed that as long as she had regular contact with him, she would definitely be able to conquer him with her charm!

"Of course I can!" Wang Xiaoqin said directly, and then she pulled Jin Zhuangzhuang and said, "Hurry up and say yes!"

Jin Zhuangzhuang hesitated for a moment, but finally compromised and said, "Ah, yes, I have confidence!"

"Then Teacher Ma, let's make it like this, it's settled!" Then he said to Jin Zhuangzhuang: "What are you standing there for? Thank you, Teacher Ma!"

Jin Zhuangzhuang quickly bowed and thanked: "Oh, thank you Teacher Ma!"

"It's nothing, you're welcome!" Lin Hao checked the time and said, "The second half is about to start. I'm going over first. I won't accompany you guys!"

Lin Hao continued to organize the competition. Wang Xiaoqin and Jin Zhuangzhuang watched the game together before leaving the school.

On the way back, the mother and son sat in the Mercedes-Benz. Looking at Jin Zhuangzhuang who was still eating chicken legs, Wang Xiaoqin picked up a tissue to wipe his mouth and asked:

"Son, is your teacher Ma really divorced?"

"They must have divorced. When I went to the office a few days ago, I overheard English teacher Sun talking to other teachers about it!"

Jin Zhuangzhuang put down the chicken leg in his hand and asked in surprise: "Why, you want Teacher Ma to be my stepfather!"

"Is it not possible? Teacher Ma is so handsome!" Wang Xiaoqin said proudly.

Jin Zhuangzhuang scratched his head, thinking of Lin Hao's demeanor on the court, and said with some regret:
"But no matter how handsome Mr. Ma is, I can't inherit his traits now!"

"Besides, if you marry Teacher Ma, then Ma Li will be my sister!" At this point, Jin Zhuangzhuang asked vigilantly:

"If that's the case, if I marry Mary, would it be considered a close relative marriage?"

"No, you are not related by blood. This is called a close relationship!" Wang Xiaoqin smiled.

"Oh, then I will support you!" Jin Zhuangzhuang said with confidence, and took a bite of the chicken leg to celebrate.

At this time, Wang Xiaoqin reacted, and then grabbed Jin Zhuangzhuang's ear and said:
"Okay, little bastard, you've grown wings, haven't you? You want to fall in love early, right? Ah~~~!"

······
On the other side, after leaving school, Lin Hao called Wang Xiaomi.

"Have you and Ma Li received Manou?" Lin Hao asked.

"Old Ma, you're finally out of school!" Before Wang Xiaomi could say anything, Ma Li's voice came over the phone: "Don't worry, we're taking a taxi to grandma's house!"

"Okay, then we'll meet at the Guomao, buy some things and then go to your grandma's house!" Lin Hao said.

"Hey, why are you going there? Aren't we going to grandma's house?" Mary asked curiously.

"This is your sister Xiaomi's first time going to your grandma's house. If she goes empty-handed, even if your grandma doesn't care, people will gossip about her!" Lin Hao explained.

"Oh, I see!" Mary said she had learned it.

"Okay, I get it. You keep nagging like a dad!" Wang Xiaomi's voice came from the phone.

"Wang Xiaomi, you really want to snatch my dad from me~~~!"

Lin Hao shook his head, hung up the phone, and took a taxi to Guomao.

After that, the three of them got together, bought a lot of things, and then came to Ling Mingyu's house with large and small bags.

"Mom, we're back!" Lin Hao shouted as soon as he entered the door.

"Xiaomi is here! Come in and sit down!" Ling Mingyu immediately welcomed Wang Xiaomi when he saw her coming.

In fact, she felt a little uncomfortable yesterday, but after thinking about it all night, she had accepted it calmly.

Just like his son said, Tian Ye has left after all, and Wang Xiaomi is already his daughter-in-law. This is an established fact. Doing inappropriate things will only hurt everyone.

Looking at what Wang Xiaomi was holding, Ling Mingyu said with a smile:

"Oh, why spend so much money to buy so many things!" "It's my duty, Mom!" Wang Xiaomi said obediently.

At this time, Ling Mingyu said to Lin Hao: "Go and cook a few dishes. I have something to say to Xiaomi."

"Okay, you guys go and have your private conversation. I'll take care of tonight's dinner!" Then Lin Hao said to Ma Li:

"Lily, come and help me, and learn how to cook. Otherwise, you won't even be able to cook in the future, and you'll be despised by others!"

At first Ma Li thought that he was talking about her, but the more she listened, the more she felt something was not right. Although her performance was average, it was not as if she couldn't do it!
But she quickly reacted and remembered that Wang Xiaomi had said before that she would cook for her, but ended up burning a pot of rice crust.

So he looked at Wang Xiaomi with a smile, and Wang Xiaomi glared at Lin Hao, then followed Ling Mingyu to sit in the yard.

Ma Li smiled and said to Manao: "Let's go and help Dad cook!"

On the other side, Ling Mingyu pulled Wang Xiaomi to sit down, then said with a smile:
"Xiaomi, you've married our Mark, and I haven't even given you a wedding gift!"

"No need, Mom!" Wang Xiaomi said with a smile, but a feeling of anticipation surged in her heart.

Sure enough, Ling Mingyu took out a gold bracelet from a box, took Wang Xiaomi's hand and said:
"This was left by Mark's grandmother. It's a souvenir for you!"

"Ah~!" Wang Xiaomi couldn't suppress the smile on her face any longer after hearing that.

At this time, Ling Mingyu continued, "It's not a valuable thing. If you don't think it looks good, you can just leave it at home!"

"It looks great! Very beautiful!" Wang Xiaomi said as she looked at the gold bracelet, "But it's too expensive!"

Hearing Wang Xiaomi say this, Ling Mingyu immediately smiled and said with a smile:

"Oh, keep it as a souvenir!"

"Come, let me put it on you!" As he said that, Ling Mingyu put the gold bracelet on Wang Xiaomi's hand personally.

Wang Xiaomi looked at the bracelet on her hand, a sunny smile appeared on her face, and she held it in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully.

Then she looked in the direction of Lin Hao, who was winking at her.

In fact, Lin Hao had hinted to her last night, and she came here today with anticipation.

Wearing this inherited gold bracelet now represents her mother-in-law's recognition and also represents her formal integration into the family.

"Thank you, Mom~!" Wang Xiaomi said in a soft voice.

Then the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted for a long time, and Lin Hao's meal was ready, so he shouted to the two of them:

"The meal is ready, come and eat, our Agate must be starving!"

Then Ling Mingyu took Wang Xiaomi to sit down, and the family happily had dinner.

"Come on, everyone, try the new dishes I learned and see if they suit your taste!" Lin Hao greeted warmly.

"Mom, please eat this, it's delicious~~~!" Wang Xiaomi picked up some food for Ling Mingyu, and greeted Ma Li and Manou.

"It's delicious. Come, try this fish!" As he said that, he picked up a piece of fish and gave it to Wang Xiaomi.

Then Ling Mingyu said with emotion: "I didn't expect my son's cooking skills are so good!"

"Grandma, I want to eat fish too!" Manou said hurriedly.

"Okay, I'll help you find the faults!" Ling Mingyu said with a smile.

Looking at the family getting along so well, Lin Hao suddenly realized that Ma Li didn't say much and just ate her food in silence.

Lin Hao smiled, gave a wink to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, then picked up a dish for Ma Li and touched her head.

An adolescent girl who has just experienced a dramatic change in her family is extremely worried.

Afterwards, Wang Xiaomi and Ling Mingyu also took care of Ma Li, and Ma Li also started chatting happily.

Looking at the happy family, Lin Hao actually knew that this was just a superficial phenomenon.

Wang Xiaomi was so stupid that she hadn't realized that although Grandma Ma Li accepted her verbally, she still had thoughts about Tian Ye in her heart.

Although Ma Li accepted Wang Xiaomi, she was afraid of being left out and becoming a homeless child.

Among the actors in the family, only Manou is still young and knows nothing!

······
Just when Lin Hao's family was having a happy dinner together, Tian Ye also came to Zhao Ling's company.

"When are you going to get off work?" Tian Ye came to Zhao Ling's office and took a sip of water and asked softly, "I'll wait for you to get off work, and we'll go to a nearby western restaurant for dinner."

"Okay!" Facing Tian Ye's invitation, Zhao Ling said excitedly: "I can get off work anytime, let's go now!"

As soon as Zhao Ling finished speaking, his secretary Yu Miaomiao came in and said:

"Mr. Zhao, the client has already gotten off the plane and is heading here. You can leave now!"

Yu Miaomiao stood obediently in front of Zhao Ling, and Tian Ye felt a little uncomfortable when he saw this.

Because this young and beautiful secretary was not dressed very properly, and most importantly, she looked somewhat similar to her.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhao Ling asked with a frown.

"A new secretary?" Tian Ye had a smile on his face, but a chill in his heart.

"Ah~, oh, yes, the new secretary!" Zhao Ling replied quickly.

Tian Ye has been working in the hotel for more than ten years and has been the lobby manager for several years. She has seen all kinds of people and could tell at a glance that something was wrong with these two people.

Then he smiled and said, "Then you go ahead and do your work. Company matters are more important. I can go eat by myself!"

Tian Ye turned and left, while the secretary kept smiling the whole time, and Zhao Ling said anxiously:

"Tian Ye, don't go! I'm done~!"

Zhao Ling was about to chase after him, but before he could finish his words, the secretary reached out to stop him and said coquettishly:
"Hey, Mr. Zhao, it will be too late if you don't leave now. The customers won't wait for anyone!"

Seeing that Tian Ye had already left, Zhao Ling turned around, looked Yu Miaomiao up and down, then frowned and asked:
"No, you're wearing this for work! You're treating this place like a nightclub!"

Secretary Yu Miaomiao lowered her head, barely able to see the tip of her high heels, and then said with an innocent look:

"Don't I always dress like this?"

"Keep wearing this!" Zhao Ling said angrily:

"You are at work now, so you should wear professional attire. You think you are at home and can wear whatever you want!"

"I know I was wrong!" Seeing that Zhao Ling was really angry, the secretary shook Zhao Ling's arm aggrievedly and said, "I'll be more careful next time!"

"There won't be a next time! Don't come to work tomorrow, just stay at home!" After saying that, Zhao Ling asked someone to reschedule the meeting time with the client, and then quickly chased after him!
