"Chu Fang..."

"Fangzi, how come you have time to invite us?"

“... ..."

Not long after, Yang Meina, He Yi's family, Rong Shunji's family of three, Chang Shen, Wen Xiangbing, Jiang Wenzhen, and the chubby Cai Guan, Chu Yi, Zhou Qiong...

Friends and relatives related to Chu Fang and Zhong Tingyue arrived one after another.

Yes, this leisure activity not only included Chu Fang's family, but also invited other people so that everyone could get to know each other.

This is also why Chu Fang paid a high price to rent this place.

As the group arrived, the farmhouse was filled with lively chatter.

Zhong Rou stood by the swimming pool and said loudly, "Anyone want to have a breath-holding contest with me? If I win, I'll give him a hundred; if I lose, I'll just give him fifty."

Wen Xiangbing stepped forward: "I'll do it!"

The two took a deep breath and then dived into the water. Wen Xiangbing was the first to splash water out, looking somewhat dejected: "I lost."

Zhong Rou blushed: "Brother Wen, you're amazing. I almost couldn't hold it in."

Next, Rong Shunji, Chu Yi, and Jiang Wenzhen all competed with Zhong Rou in holding their breath, but unfortunately, Zhong Rou was the ultimate winner in all of them.

"Hehe..." Chu Fang shook his head and laughed, "That's really nonsense."

My sister-in-law is an all-rounder with an amazing lung capacity. She has learned various breathing training methods and most people can't hold their breath as long as she does.

The flush on her face wasn't from difficulty breathing, but rather from having Zhong Tingyue apply some cosmetics to her face earlier.

The two sisters fooled all their relatives and friends, and split the money they got 50/50.

Don't ask why Zhong Tingyue got 50%, because she's the 'older sister'.

Chang Shen lay beside him, gazing at the sun: "Are you planning to propose?"

"I haven't decided yet." Chu Fang then lay down as well.

Is marriage the grave of love?

"so what?"

"Therefore, I suggest you build the mausoleum first!"

"..." Chu Fang was speechless. "Besides you, who else builds tombs?"

"Yang Meina".

Upon hearing this, Chu Fang became interested: "Yang Meina asked you to repair her tomb? How are things going between you two?"

Chang Shen downplayed it: "There's no development; we're just neighbors."

"Neighbor?!"

“Her tomb was built next to mine, so we’re neighbors.”

Chu Fang wanted to slap himself. What was he thinking?

Having known Chang Shen for so many years, they still hope he will become normal.

It's ridiculous!

Zhong Tingyue and Yang Meina strolled hand in hand through the flowers. The latter said, "You two have been dating for almost two years. It's time to get on the right track to marriage. It's perfectly normal for you to propose."

Yang Meina was not surprised.

Yang Meina asked curiously, "So how does Chu Fang plan to propose?"

Zhong Tingyue shook her head: "I don't know."

"have no idea?"

“These days he’s been going out early and coming back late by himself. How would I know what he’s planning to do? It must be related to this agritainment business.”

“That’s easy.” Yang Meina stopped a passing waitress and asked, “Excuse me, beautiful lady, is someone at your agritainment business planning a marriage proposal?”

"No, we don't have any." The waiter shook his head.

"Think about it again."

The waiter shook his head again: "Really not. I work in the service industry. This place is where people propose, and we are responsible for arranging all the procedures and activities. If someone proposes, I will definitely know."

Next, the two asked several waiters and even the security guards, but they all said they had no plans to propose.

Zhong Tingyue's red lips parted slightly.

This was not what she had imagined.

"Could it be... that I guessed wrong?" she wondered, but quickly shook her head: "Impossible."

A woman's intuition told her that Chu Fang was indeed preparing to propose.

But why were these employees unaware?

“Those employees are lying,” Zhong Tingyue shook her head again.

She could tell that the employees were telling the truth.

"Hiss..." Yang Meina gasped, "What exactly is Chu Fang doing?"

All morning, Zhong Tingyue's mind was filled with all sorts of guesses, but she had no clue what to do.

After lunch, the girls took photos together, each wearing their prettiest clothes.

Chu's mother is a fashionista; her outfits are very stylish, yet she also has a touch of girlish playfulness, making her look beautiful in the photos.

Yang Meina, on the other hand, wins with her figure, graceful and alluring...

However, in Chu Fang's eyes, the most beautiful was Zhong Tingyue, dressed in simple casual clothes and wearing a brown hat, simple yet elegant.

Compared to her beauty, Zhong Rou believes more in her own abilities and has never cared much about dressing up.

Zhong Nvxia's belief: The weak dress up to gain the upper hand, while the strong exude an aura that commands respect.

Chu Fang watched as everyone took photos, when his sister-in-law pulled him to a corner.

Chu Fang asked, "Why did you pull me? Is there something you want to say?"

“Brother-in-law, you have two choices.” Zhong Rou said seriously, “One, you pay me 10,000 yuan as hush money without complaint and swear not to tell my sister; two, if you don’t give me the money, I will tell my sister about your marriage proposal.”

"Two choices, you choose one."

Chu Fang raised an eyebrow; "How did you know?"

The sister-in-law gave a soft hum, quite pleased with herself.

Chu Fang smiled and said, "I don't want to choose any of them."

These words startled Zhong Rou, who then changed her mind and said, "Five thousand yuan, and I promise to shut up."

Chu Fang smiled and shook his head.

"Three thousand, that's the lowest I can go."

"I'll give you a thousand since you're my future brother-in-law."

"five hundred."

"No, brother-in-law, you can't bargain like that! I gave you a discount from ten thousand to five hundred and you're still not satisfied. You can't be too greedy!"

Zhong Rou glared angrily.

You're using information about me to blackmail me for money, and you're accusing me of being greedy? You're a professional at making excuses...

Chu Fang was speechless. He suggested, "How about this? You give me five hundred, and I'll let you tell your sister about the proposal. What do you think?"

Zhong Rou: "... ..."

No, I was the one extorting you, so how come you're asking me for money now?

The sister-in-law retorted, "Brother-in-law, I know you're bluffing me. Are you going to give it to me or not? If you don't, I'll tell everyone about what you did."

Chu Fang shrugged: "Whatever."

Zhong Rou stormed towards Zhong Tingyue, ready to expose Chu Fang's secrets, and said, "Sister, I have something to tell you."

"you say."

"It's for my brother-in-law, one thousand yuan."

"It costs money? Forget it."

"It is very important to you, extremely important, especially important."

Zhong Tingyue stared at her younger sister: "Give me a thousand, and I can listen."

Zhong Rou: "... ..."

The sister-in-law was silent for a while, then said angrily, "Neither of you two is any good!"

"I'm not saying anything more! You two go play by yourselves!"
