"Oh? Uncle Xiang, you're joking." Chu Fang quickly realized.

Xiang Hui crossed his arms and looked at him intently: "I'm a businessman who has experienced a lot in life, not a fool."

Chu Fang: "..."

He shrugged.

In the end, they were found out.

"How did you figure that out?" Chu Fang asked. "I think my acting is pretty good; I was completely immersed in the role."

The two walked along the courtyard, the sunlight falling on them and casting long shadows.

Xiang Hui said unhurriedly, "You don't have the air of a poor person, and you can't fake it no matter how hard you try."

Xiang Hui saw the kind of aura of a big shot in Chu Fang. He was not intimidating; on the contrary, he was very easygoing, yet exceptionally dazzling.

This is a quality that ordinary people, even actors, cannot portray.

Based on this alone, Xiang Hui concluded that Chu Fang was no ordinary person.

Big shots like him wouldn't date their daughters.

Chu Fang asked, "Uncle Xiang, what do you think constitutes the temperament of an ordinary person? I'll try to look more convincing next time."

He decided that in the future, when taking on such jobs, he would conceal his true nature.

Xiang Hui smiled but did not answer. Instead, he pointed out the second flaw: "You and Linlin have not had a single physical contact since you entered the room. Not even once. I have never seen a couple like this before."

Every time Xiang Linlin tried to get close to Chu Fang, even just to link arms through their clothes, Chu Fang would instinctively back away. This was clearly not a real relationship.

"I think you probably already have a girlfriend."

"We've already registered our marriage, and we'll be getting married soon," Chu Fang said.

"That's good." Xiang Hui nodded.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Xiang, I lied to you." Chu Fang apologized for his actions.

"Actually, I was also at fault. I was too anxious about Linlin's marriage and made her panic."

"Then do you regret having Xiang Linlin?"

"Regret?" Xiang Hui was surprised. "No, why do you ask that?"

Chu Fang said, "Just asking, I'm currently facing the dilemma of whether or not to have children. I lack confidence in raising them well, I'm feeling very distressed and confused, and I don't know what to do."

Since it was just a casual chat, Chu Fang thought that asking these seniors for their thoughts and perspectives might help him resolve his predicament.

Xiang Hui raised an eyebrow but didn't answer immediately, and Chu Fang didn't press him for more questions.

The two walked slowly on the lawn, bathed in the scorching 31-degree sun, which puzzled the Xiang family members.

Are you two having an attack?

Xiang Hui said calmly, "I'm sorry, I don't have an answer."

"Our generation still follows traditional and conservative ideas. Having children is about carrying on the family line. As for what preparations to make for having children, what the children want, and what they need, we don't think about any of that at all."

Your generation is different from ours. With increased material wealth, you've broken free from many outdated ideas and started considering issues from your children's perspective, thinking about their needs, and being more cautious about having children. You are more suited to be parents than we were; only you can find the answers to these questions.

Chu Fang fell into deep thought, then softly said, "Suitable..."

Xiang Hui turned to look at Chu Fang and sighed inwardly, "If only he really were my son-in-law."

"Dad, what are you two talking about?" Xiang Linlin walked over and took Xiang Hui's arm.

"Let's talk about our wedding," Chu Fang said, snapping out of his reverie.

"Huh?" Xiang Linlin was stunned.

Chu Fang continued, "Your father and I have discussed it and decided that this marriage is settled. We can't wait any longer; we'll get married in three days."

"Huh?!" Xiang Linlin's voice rose eight octaves.

Xiang Hui smiled and said, "Stop pretending. I already knew you two were just pretending to be a couple."

"Huh?!" Le Xueping, who had just walked over, felt like the sky had fallen.

She had already considered Chu Fang as her son-in-law, and now she was being told this truth; she couldn't accept it.

"no!"

But it has to be done, even if it's not possible.

In the end, Le Xueping had no choice but to accept the fact that the two were pretending to be a couple.

Now that the truth had come to light, there was no point in Chu Fang staying any longer. He then said, "Uncle and Aunt, I'll be leaving now. It was a pleasure meeting you both today. I learned a lot. Thank you both."

This statement comes from the bottom of my heart.

He then left the Xiang family villa.

Seeing Xiang Linlin following behind Chu Fang, Le Xueping called out to her daughter, "You two have already been exposed, and you're still going home with Chu Fang? He has a beautiful wife at home. Aren't you ashamed? I'm ashamed!"

Xiang Linlin stopped in her tracks and chuckled, "I was so immersed in the role that I didn't even realize it."

"Sigh! I wish Xiao Chu were my son-in-law," Le Xueping murmured.

"Why do you all look so regretful?" Xiang Linlin said. "I don't see anything regrettable about it. The landlord isn't my type."

Which one do you like?

Xiang Linlin counted on her fingers: "Handsome, rich, gentle, and considerate..."

She listed her requirements for her future boyfriend, and as she did so, she suddenly realized that Chu Fang perfectly matched all of them.

Chu Fang's good looks go without saying, his wealth is a fact, and he can also cook and clean...

Xiang Linlin sighed as well: "What a pity..."

Xiang Hui glanced at his daughter: "Now you know it's a pity? Too late!"

"It's not too late. There are plenty of men in the world. I think I can find my Mr. Right," Xiang Linlin said confidently.

That's not what I meant.

"Dad, what are you saying?"

Xiang Linlin looked in the direction her father was pointing and saw Le Xueping coming over with a feather duster, yelling, "I'll teach you to lie to me! You even made me lose my most prized son-in-law! If I don't beat you up today, I'm not a Xiang!"

Xiang Linlin: "... ..."

... ...

Chu Fang was waiting for a Didi Chuxing car outside the villa area.

Because the purpose of this trip to the Xiang family was to pretend to be poor, they did not drive.

While he was waiting for a car, a Lamborghini stopped in front of him. The window rolled down, and it was Xiang Rui and Bao Yan, the two brothers.

“Where are you going, brother? I’ll give you a ride,” Bao Yan said.

Chu Fang casually replied, "The underworld."

Bao Yan: "... ..."

Why does this guy always make you want to punch him when he talks?

How can there be such a despicable person!

Chu Fang checked his phone; the car was still five kilometers away. He canceled the ride, got into the Lamborghini, and said, "Driver, Tanhua Residential Area, thank you."

"Okay."

Bao Yan sensed something was off about the tone of voice, but didn't think much of it and turned the car around to head towards the Tanhua residential area.
