When Chen Hua brought Chu Xiaolan home, Chen Hao was not surprised to see Chu Xiaolan, but Chen's mother was taken aback.

She looked at Chen Hao with surprise, but saw that Chen Hao did not show any dissatisfaction with Chu Xiaolan. On the contrary, he greeted Chu Xiaolan quite warmly.

Although she didn't know what the father and son were up to, Chen's mother still cooperated with them. She had already learned from her son that he had fallen in love with Chu Xiaolan. However, when she told Old Chen, he did not agree and felt that it was not appropriate for his son to marry Chu Xiaolan.

Why did you suddenly change your mind this time?

"Xiao Lan, make yourself at home, don't be shy."

Chen Hao greeted Chu Xiaolan warmly, which made Chu Xiaolan feel a little flattered.

She had met Chen Hao a few times before, and he had always been indifferent.

"Thank you, Director Chen."

"Don't call me Director Chen, just call me Uncle."

Chen Hao smiled casually.

Chu Xiaolan glanced at Chen Hua, unsure how to respond to Chen Hao's excessive enthusiasm.

Chen Hua looked at Chen Hao speechlessly, while Chen's mother waved to Chen Hao from the kitchen.

"Old Chen, come here for a second."

"oh."

"Your auntie called me, I'll go see what she wants!"

Before getting up, Chen Hao smiled at Chu Xiaolan.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Hao got up and went to the kitchen, where his mother glanced at him with amusement.

"You're asking what's wrong? What did you tell me before? Now that Xiaolan is being so enthusiastic, how are you expecting her to respond?"

"You're being too enthusiastic. Tone it down a bit."

Chen's mother said with a smile.

"Too enthusiastic?"

Chen Hao touched his nose. Wasn't he afraid that his daughter-in-law would be afraid of him?

"What's wrong with you? You used to be..."

Chen's mother looked at Chen Hao. She liked Chu Xiaolan quite a bit. Because her son liked her, her eyes lit up when she talked about Chu Xiaolan.

But Moses Chan never gave a clear answer, and she thought her son had no chance.

Seeing Moses Chan like this now makes her really curious.

"Didn't I... misjudge him before?"

Chen Hao briefly explained Chen Hua's situation to his mother. When Chu Xiaolan was about to go bankrupt, she was willing to take out all her money. Just for this kindness, Chen Hao couldn't stop her.

Everyone told him that his son was no good, too ambitious, and impulsive and immature.

But that was his son after all, and of course he wanted his son to be alright.

Seeing his son in danger, he wanted to help, but his son wouldn't let him, so he couldn't do anything about it.

When everyone was pessimistic about Chen Hao, Chu Xiaolan resolutely gave everything to Chen Hua.

It's easy to add flowers to brocade, but difficult to provide charcoal in the snow!

How could he bear to break up such a good girl?

"I never expected Xiaolan to actually..."

After hearing Chen Hao's words, Chen's mother was also shocked. It was like putting all her eggs in one basket and betting everything on Chen Hua.

Isn't she afraid of losing all her money?

Now she understands why Moses Chan relented.

"Alright, hurry up and go out to entertain Xiaolan. I only need two more dishes."

Chen's mother chased Chen Hao out of the kitchen again and quickly got busy.

Under Chen Hua's watchful gaze, Chu Xiaolan nervously finished her meal. Before leaving, Chen Hao and his mother gave Chu Xiaolan a large red envelope.

"I can't accept it..."

Chu Xiaolan was startled; she dared not take it.

"This is something we absolutely have to take!"

Chen Hua understood the meaning of the red envelope and quickly accepted it on behalf of Chu Xiaolan.

"Why?"

Chu Xiaolan didn't understand.

"This is a gift for our daughter-in-law. Accept it, and you will be the future daughter-in-law of the Chen family!"

Chen's mother stepped forward and patted Chu Xiaolan's hand.

"I've heard Chen Hua talk about you a lot, and today I finally get to meet you in person. My son has a strong temper, but he takes after his father. Our family won't object to your marriage. When would be a convenient time for us to have dinner with your parents?"

Chen's mother's words made Chu Xiaolan blush with embarrassment; she hadn't expected it to mean that.

When asked to meet her parents, Chu Xiaolan opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"I'll take some gifts and go visit her right away!"

Chen Hua wouldn't wait; he took the initiative and attacked directly.

Chen Hao opened his mouth, but then let his son have his way. He was afraid that if the Chu family knew about his son's current situation, they wouldn't agree to him being with Xiao Lan.

However, seeing his son's expression, Moses Chan stopped talking.

Also, take this opportunity to see how the Chu family treats their son.

When she left the Chen family, Chu Xiaolan clutched her clothes tightly.

"Xiao Lan, do you understand now? My family has no objections to you! They've decided on you, you're my fiancée!"

"Now, let's strike while the iron is hot and go shopping, and visit your parents."

Chen Hua grabbed Chu Xiaolan's clothes; he wanted a clear stance from her today.

Chu Xiaolan looked at Chen Hua with such anticipation.

"But my family... are you really not bothered?"

After seeing everything about the Chen family, Chu Xiaolan found it hard not to feel inferior. The two families were worlds apart in terms of their circumstances, and she didn't even dare to think about her future with Chen Hua.

But seeing how enthusiastically Chen Hua prepared the gift, she didn't want to hurt his feelings.

"I'm marrying you."

Chen Hua said firmly.

"Let's go then!"

Since Chen Hua had said that, Chu Xiaolan couldn't admit defeat.

Chen Hua took Chu Xiaolan to a department store to buy things. Chu Xiaolan forbade Chen Hua to buy those high-end supplements, and only asked him to buy more candy.

They carried Chen Hua on a bumpy journey to their village.

This was the first time Chen Hua had ever seen such an impoverished village. There wasn't even a cement floor, and buses only stopped at the village entrance.

Chu Xiaolan kept an eye on Chen Hua, and if he showed the slightest dissatisfaction, she would immediately lead him back the way they came.

Chen Hua showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever and even smiled as he asked Chu Xiaolan to lead the way.

Upon arriving at Chu Xiaolan's village, Chen Hua and Chu Xiaolan were immediately surrounded by the village aunties and grandmas at the entrance.

"Oh my, look who's here? Isn't this the little mute from the Chu family?"

"What's this? Did you bring your partner back to see this?"

"Young man, what's your relationship with her? Are you her boyfriend?"

"I never expected to see her come home with her boyfriend again. Young man, are you out of your mind?"

"..."

Listening to the words of the aunties and grandmas in the village, Chen Hua frowned; he couldn't hear a trace of good intention in them.

It was full of disdain and mockery towards Chu Xiaolan.

"I'm Xiaolan's boyfriend. I'm here today to meet her parents, and then we'll be getting married!"

Chen Hua grasped Chu Xiaolan's hand and boldly raised his voice.

"Ouch...that scared you! Why are you shouting like that..."

"We're not deaf."

Startled by Chen Hua's sudden loud voice, they snorted and backed away unhappily.

Chu Xiaolan quickly pulled Chen Hua through their encirclement and headed home.

"Tsk, they must be blind, someone actually wants a mute like that..."
