Chapter 1354: Xiao Family

Zhou Chengchen successfully boarded the plane, and the group finally left the airport to return home. Zhou Chengze and Qi Cheng naturally went straight back to the Zhou Family, and Zhou Qi also needed to return to the team tonight, so he took Xi Siyan and Xiao Rou home on the way.

Following the navigation plan, Zhou Qi first took Xi Siyan back to the apartment, and then sent Xiao Rou home.

By then, it was already very late. Xiao Rou’s home was in a somewhat old neighborhood, so Zhou Qi didn’t drive the car in but parked outside, and walked Xiao Rou to the downstairs.

"I’m here, be careful on your way back."

Standing at the old unit gate, Xiao Rou smiled and said to Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi nodded: "Hmm, I have training both tomorrow morning and afternoon. I’ll come to pick you up at six o’clock to take you to see two shops and see if you’re satisfied."

"No need, just give me the addresses, I’ll go by myself."

As a friend of Zhou Chengchen, Xiao Rou certainly knew what Zhou Qi was doing now. Although she didn’t understand it, she knew that eSports, like regular sports, required practice, and she didn’t want her matters to delay Zhou Qi.

"It’s okay, not troublesome."

Zhou Qi said indifferently, and finally added: "Cheng Chen asked me to do it, of course, I have to do it well."

"Oh, then sorry for the trouble."

"Go upstairs, have a good rest, good night."

"Good night."

Xiao Rou waved to Zhou Qi, turned, and walked into the building entrance.

The neighborhood wasn’t new, but the facilities were still complete; every sound-controlled light was working.

Zhou Qi stood downstairs until the sound-controlled light on Xiao Rou’s floor lit up, and then he slowly walked back.

Xiao Rou naturally didn’t know this scene. She took out the key to open the door and went in: "Mom, Dad, I’m back."

Standing at the entrance changing shoes, Xiao Rou called out and then turned to walk into the living room, instantly noticing something was off in the atmosphere at home.

Looking at the things on the table, Xiao Rou’s mind instantly buzzed.

"You still remember to come home?"

Mr. Xiao scolded sharply, frightening Xiao Rou into a shiver. Mrs. Xiao quickly smoothed things over: "Alright, look how you’ve scared the child."

Mrs. Xiao walked to Xiao Rou’s side, speaking softly: "Rourou, why did you resign?"

Xiao Rou hadn’t even opened her mouth when Mr. Xiao raised his voice again: "All because of you pampering her, treating my words like they’re nothing! Zhou Group, such great benefits and treatment, you just say no and leave. What do you plan to do next? Live off us?"

Regarding the resignation matter, Xiao Rou hadn’t entirely kept it from her family. She had hinted at it, resulting in an unhappy argument, and later she planned to act first and tell them later.

According to her plan, Xiao Rou intended to open her small shop and then be upfront with her parents. Unexpectedly, Mr. Xiao had already found her resignation report.

"I don’t plan to live off you. I have things to do."

"Things to do? What could you possibly have to do? You quit a good job; what else do you want to do? I even told my colleagues today that my daughter works at Zhou; you go ahead and resign!"

Mr. Xiao was cursing, his words not particularly harsh, but his voice was extremely loud, making Xiao Rou’s head numb.

Her home was a typical patriarchal household.

Mr. Xiao was a good person but truly had a temper; Xiao Rou always guessed he wouldn’t agree to her resignation.

So this scene was within her expectations, but Xiao Rou was still startled by her father’s attitude.
