Chen Ya and Lu Qianzi chatted for a while, and they got to know each other better and became closer.

Chen Ya discovered that this half-sister was not as bad as he had imagined;

Lu Qianzi also discovered that this stepbrother with low education was not as shallow as she had imagined.

He even speaks quite elegantly and with emotional intelligence.

This made her even more troubled by what her parents were planning.

Just now, she repeatedly inquired about Chen Ya's love life because of "that thing" planned by her parents.

In order to make "that thing" happen, the "other party" has already figured it out. Next, if Chen Ya also passes, then it will be nine out of ten.

If "that thing" is accomplished, it will be a win-win-win situation, which is good for everyone.

If nothing can be done, the next few years may become very difficult for their family.

Although Lu Ruixiang repeatedly emphasized to her that they did this for Chen Ya's own good, Lu Qianzi had never seen many insidious tactics since she was a child, and secretly planning other people's marriages made her feel that this behavior was not very gentlemanly.

So until now, she is still hesitant about whether to give Chen Ya a push.

Just as she was struggling, Chen Sheng's voice rang out from the kitchen: "Chicken soup is here!"

Lu Qianzi stood up and said, "Dinner is ready, let's go eat first."

Chen Ya nodded and stood up.

The dinner dishes were simple but varied, filling the entire table.

Chen Sheng is still as skilled as ever, and his cooking skills have not declined despite his years of luxury.

He opened a bottle of red wine, pulled out the cork with a "pop" sound, and the bright red liquid swirled into the goblet.

A cup was placed in front of each person, and Lu Ruixiang raised the cup and said:

"Then, let's celebrate together that Chen Ya has joined our family."

"bite."

The sound of high-heeled glasses colliding could be heard. After taking a sip, he asked:

"Chen Hai is not coming back today?"

"Chen Hai has an appointment and will be back tomorrow." Lu Ruixiang said, "So, tomorrow is the highlight. There's a big happy announcement tomorrow. Chen Ya, you've come at the perfect time."

"What about my aunt? Doesn't she live with you?"

Chen Sheng smiled awkwardly and said, "Your aunt lives over at Xiu Lake, with your grandpa and grandma."

"Is she the one who usually takes care of the elderly?"

"Um……"

Lu Ruixiang glanced at her husband and said unhappily:

"The house is mine, and you're the one paying for my living expenses. Just tell me straight out. It doesn't seem like I'm wrong."

Chen Sheng said: "Well, that's not what I meant at all..."

Chen Ya nodded slightly.

As a daughter-in-law from a wealthy family, from her point of view, she did not do badly.

Give money and a house to support my husband's relatives.

Xiu Lake is a million miles away from here. It must be so far away that there must be conflicts in our daily lives.

Conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and conflicts between sisters-in-law are very common. It is human nature, and it does not necessarily mean that she despises the poor and loves the rich.

Chen Ya said nothing, gently shaking the wine glass, and the clear red wine flowed in the glass.

"Hey, Chen Ya, you can sober up?" Lu Ruixiang suddenly said, "But your posture isn't quite right. You should hold the glass like this and let the wine swirl in it."

She pinched the "foot" of the goblet between her index and middle fingers, supported the wall of the goblet with her palm, and shook it left and right.

Chen Ya smiled calmly and said, "It's all right. When it comes to drinking, you can do whatever makes you feel comfortable. There's no need to be so dogmatic."

Chen Sheng turned around and said, "That's right. We don't have to be so particular when drinking white wine."

"Shut up right there." Lu Ruixiang yelled at her husband, and Chen Sheng immediately shrank his head and shut up.

She showed the triumphant expression of a little woman being pampered by her husband and said:

"Chen Ya, are you studying for a junior college or a bachelor's degree?"

Chen Ya put down his glass and said, "I dropped out of school in junior high school."

Chen Sheng immediately spoke before he could, "I've already asked him to take the adult education undergraduate exam, and I'll try to improve his academic qualifications in the future..."

"I told you to stop talking!"

Lu Ruixiang slapped the table lightly, looked at Chen Ya and frowned.

If Chen Ya only had this kind of academic qualifications, it would be a serious disadvantage to their plan.

If it were to be exposed, what would the Liu family think? Their Lu family would also be disgraced.

"Chen Ya, if someone asks you about your education in the future, just say you have an ordinary undergraduate degree," Lu Ruixiang said. "After all, you are a stranger in Beijing and no one knows you. Just say that you worked hard to get into an ordinary undergraduate program."

Chen Ya didn't say anything, as if he was hesitant to speak.

"Did you hear that? I want you to agree." Lu Ruixiang's voice was already a little tough.

Chen Ya hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.

He has always claimed to the outside world that he is a junior high school dropout.

That’s because his later scientific research results were all confidential and it would be difficult to make them public.

Moreover, although his research was advanced, he had never tried to get a degree for himself.

At his level and qualifications, he no longer needs a degree certificate.

"Well, that's good." Lu Ruixiang smiled when he agreed.

Lu Qianzi knew that her mother had always had a strong desire for control, so she pulled her hand and changed the subject:

"Mom, I have to go to school to participate in a club activity tomorrow. Can you lend me your car?"

Lu Ruixiang said, "What do you mean by borrowing it? Can you drive on the road with your skills? Chen Ya, can you drive?"

"I understand a little bit." Chen Ya nodded, "But I don't seem to have a regular driver's license."

He only has an F1 super license.
