"Hello, please make yourselves at home. Don't be shy about coming to my house."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Chu Wentao searched the living room but couldn't find his son. "By the way, where's that brat Chu Jiangyi?"

"My brother went to pick up a pretty lady from get off work. I heard he's pursuing her."

Chu Wentao was momentarily surprised. "Oh? This kid actually has someone he likes. He didn't tell his family. Your mother was worried that your brother would be a bachelor for life. Now she's worried for nothing."

Chu Jiangning said confidently, "Of course not. But my brother's way of pursuing girls is a little bit problematic. Dad, if you have time, teach my brother a few tricks so he can find a girlfriend as soon as possible, or he'll end up a bachelor."

"Nonsense, your brother isn't the kind of person who's clumsy with words. He doesn't need me to teach him how to woo a girlfriend, does he? After all, I don't have much experience either. The only person I've ever pursued in my life was your mother."

Chu Jiangning smiled slyly, "That's not what Mom said. She said that when you were pursuing her, you used all sorts of tricks that moved her deeply. She was so confused that she was inexplicably pursued and then you just lured her home to be your wife."

"Your mother has told you many stories of your glorious deeds."

Chu Jiangning muttered to himself, "If my brother's old-fashioned methods of pursuing her were really effective, would he have pursued Sister Sun Qing for six years without making a single move?"

Now that her target has changed to a pretty older sister, she'd better not mention her brother's previous relationship, lest she anger him and cause him more trouble than she'd like.

Although my brother has changed his target, I really can't agree with the way he pursues girls. He's so slow, like a tortoise crawling. Can't he learn from those domineering CEOs? With Chu Jiangyi's cowardly manner, he might mess things up again.

If you fail time and time again in your pursuit and then become completely discouraged, that would be terrible.

Things don't happen more than three times. After one setback after another, what will happen if my brother gives up on chasing girls? She still really wants a beautiful sister-in-law. That pretty older sister is quite nice; she gives off a good vibe. Having her as her sister-in-law would be great.

Chu Wentao scolded, "You little brat, you dare to say anything out loud. We have guests at home."

"What are you afraid of? You won over a school beauty's mother back in the day. Tell them how you, the younger generation, won her heart. Brothers, don't you agree?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Everyone agreed.

Chu Wentao blushed. With so many younger people in front of him, he really couldn't bring himself to talk about those trivial old stories. He quickly changed the subject.

"Where's your mother? Why didn't she come out to greet the guests?"

Chu Jiangning knew his father was changing the subject, so he didn't press him. He told the truth, "Mom and Aunt Zhang are busy in the kitchen. If you haven't seen them for ages, go to the kitchen and find Mom. I'll take care of your brothers."

Chu Wentao strode towards the kitchen, followed by a silvery laugh.

"My dad is such a coward, haha... He even got shy... We've been married for so long, are all your dads like this? Tell me about it so I can have a laugh."

The three people sitting there looked at each other and lowered their heads. Only Qiu Bojie said, "My dad is a simpleton. He makes my mom angry all the time."

"That's hilarious, tell me more about it."

"no problem."

Qiu Bojie and Chu Jiangning were chatting enthusiastically, with bursts of laughter coming from time to time. Xiao Zhebin and Wen Jincheng exchanged a glance and shook their heads helplessly.

"If this kid is still this eloquent when he's pursuing Zhong Xue, he'll have no trouble winning over the goddess."

"The boy's naiveté is hereditary. I thought he was born simple-minded, but I didn't expect his parents to live such a colorful life."

"Who says otherwise? I've never had a father since I was little, so I don't have that feeling. What about your parents?"

"Don't even mention it. Just thinking about them gives me a headache. From my childhood memories, they were always arguing and fighting. There's nothing worth remembering about them."

"Hmph! They favor sons over daughters, and they don't seem to love me much. They only gave birth to me because they didn't want people to laugh at the Xiao family for not having sons. I'm just a tool for their old age. I don't even want to go home for winter break this year. I'll find a part-time job and save more money to prepare for my senior year internship."

Wen Jincheng patted Xiao Zhebin on the shoulder and comforted him, "At least your parents are still alive, but what about me?"

"Sigh! Actually, I don't have anything to envy. A family that's always noisy and argumentative is really annoying. I don't even want to go home."

“Last night, the two old guys called me separately, saying that they had a fight and were badly injured, and that they wanted a divorce. I couldn’t be bothered with them. Let them divorce if they want. I can’t be bothered with them. My sister and I are grown up now. Let them do whatever they want.”

"Don't overthink it. Just live your life well from now on. When they get old and can't work anymore, then you can...?"

Xiao Zhebin scoffed, "They're too old to work now, and they're always at home arguing with each other. It's no wonder they have conflicts."

Wen Jincheng was quite surprised, "They're not even fifty yet, and they're already retired?"

"Yes, with two lazy and good-for-nothing parents on my back, it will be difficult for me to find a wife in the future."

"Let's not talk about those unhappy things. Let's drink more tea and eat more snacks. It's not worth letting those unhappy things make us feel bad."

Wen Jincheng nodded, wisely refraining from asking any further questions.
