Chapter 12: Preparing to Leave



So he went all the way to find Yan Zhenhua who was still working in the study.

The light was on in the study. When Yan Shuhua entered, he saw Liu Cuiman was also inside. When she saw Yan Shuhua coming, she said unhappily, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night? Don't you know that your father needs to rest?"

"It's late at night, aren't you here too?"

Yan Shuhua never had a good face towards Liu Cuiman. He rolled his eyes in his heart and retorted expressionlessly.

"You damn girl!"

Liu Cuiman was choked, and she was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves and looked like she was going to settle the score with Yan Shuhua.

"Hey, that's enough. How can an elder still argue with a younger person? Go back to your room first and I'll come over in a bit."

Yan Zhenhua is now relying on Yan Shuhua's marriage, so naturally he supports Yan Shuhua so that Yan Shuhua will be more willing to marry because of his good father.

Liu Cuiman held her breath and left the study. Yan Zhenhua then looked at Yan Shuhua with a gentle expression, "What's wrong? Is there something you want to talk to me about so late at night?"

Too lazy to be polite with him, Yan Shuhua walked directly to the sofa and sat down, "I want to know what kind of betrothal gift you have prepared for my marriage with the Xiao family?"

Yan Zhenhua looked at Yan Shuhua with pride and a bit of disdain. It turned out that the girl from the country was ignorant and only cared about these petty gains.

"You are my daughter. Although I have not been able to find you for so many years due to work reasons, I have specially prepared the betrothal gifts long ago. This time I will definitely let you marry in style."

There was still no expression on Yan Shuhua's pretty face, but he was sneering in his heart. These words might be enough to fool Yan Qingxue.

But in order to let Yan Zhenhua let down his guard, he had to pretend to be surprised and said, "Of course I know that Dad cares about me, but there is something I really want, and I wonder if Dad can fulfill it for me."

"What is it?"

"The title deed to the suburban villa, er, that is, the property ownership certificate."

Yan Shuhua thought about the words used in this era, and nodded after confirming that it was correct.

After hearing this, Yan Zhenhua's face changed and his smile disappeared. "What do you want this for?"

This is no joke, this little girl actually wants the house deed!

"You haven't taken care of me for so many years, so it's not too much for me to ask for a house, right? Besides, I'm going to get married soon, so what's wrong with me having a house to rely on?"

When Yan Shuhua is in a good mood, she can cooperate with Yan Zhenhua to act out the deep love between father and daughter, but if she is in a bad mood, don't blame her for saying unpleasant things.

Yan Shuhua said it lightly, but Yan Zhenhua felt complicated.

The houses in the suburbs were all carefully decorated, and Liu Cuiman had begged him many times but he still refused to give her money. How could this eldest daughter ask for so much money right away? Just as he was thinking about how to fool her, Yan Shuhua said nonchalantly, "I see that Dad, you don't want to give it to me?"

"How is that possible? It's just that your sister has already chosen this house as a betrothal gift. You are all my treasures. Plus, Shuhua, you have always been so sensible. You should know what to do, right? Don't make it difficult for dad, okay?"

Yan Shuhua sneered and stood up by holding the armrest of the chair.

"I won't say any more nonsense. You can reduce the gift price, but I must have this house. I want to see my name on the deed by the day after tomorrow at the latest, otherwise I won't get married."

When it comes to marriage, if the couple is not willing, Yan Shuhua has a hundred ways to make the two families become enemies because of the marriage.

As for the so-called barefoot or wearing shoes, she has nothing to be afraid of.

After saying this, Yan Shuhua didn't bother to see Yan Zhenhua's reaction and turned to leave.

"Yan Shuhua, stop, what are you talking about!"

"I'm speaking human language. I wonder if you understand, Dad?"  Yan Shuhua said these infuriating words with a smile, and smiled with narrowed eyes before Yan Zhenhua was about to attack.

"He's the mayor after all. It wouldn't be good if word got out that he was doing a feudal arranged marriage."

The conversation between smart people ended there, and Yan Shuhua left without looking back.

With something to look forward to, the day after tomorrow seems to arrive in the blink of an eye.

Before leaving in the morning, Yan Zhenhua took Liu Cuiman and her daughter to see them off.

"Oh, sister is leaving now, I really can't bear to part with you."

Yan Qingxue pretended to wipe the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, but she couldn't hide the smile on her lips.

"Oh, really? I guess my sister will learn etiquette better when I'm not around, right? We can't embarrass our father no matter what, right?"

Yan Qingxue's face turned red and white after hearing Yan Shuhua's words. The embarrassing sleeping arrangement in front of the etiquette teacher that day was brought up in public. She was completely humiliated!

She walked up to Yan Zhenhua, spread out her hands, and said bluntly, "Where is what I want?"

Yan Zhenhua's face looked a little ugly, but he still carefully took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over while avoiding Liu Cuiman's sight.

After spreading out a thin piece of paper and making sure that it contained what he wanted, Yan Shuhua put it away neatly.

"Okay, Dad, I won't embarrass you."

For the first time, Yan Shuhua smiled sincerely at Yan Zhenhua. Yan Zhenhua couldn't laugh anymore because there was a tigress watching him at home. If she knew about it, she would tear him in half.

"Finally, I got rid of these two people. If they hadn't left, my house would have been filled with that shabby smell."

Liu Cuiman couldn't help but nod. Seeing that Yan Zhenhua looked a little strange, she asked suspiciously, "What's going on? Why is he like this?"

"No, it's okay." Yan Zhenhua wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, avoiding looking at Liu Cuiman.

Liu Cuiman wanted to continue asking doubtfully, but Yan Qingxue diverted her attention and she forgot about the matter.

The car arrived at the train station, and as soon as Yan Shuhua got off the car, he found that Xiao Jinchu and others were already waiting there.

Xiao Jinchu's face was full of righteousness. Even though he was sitting in a wheelchair, his aura was incomparable to that of passersby. Behind him stood Xiao's mother and a familiar person. Yan Shuhua thought about it and thought, isn't it the man in the car compartment last time? "You guys came really quickly." Yan Shuhua nodded to Xiao's mother behind Xiao Jinchu as a greeting.

"After all, the train waits for no one, so it's better to arrive early."

Xiao Jinchu spoke indifferently, and Yan Shuhua couldn't help but shake his head. This person was really as unlovable as ever.

"Okay, Shuhua, I'll leave my Chu'er to you. You must take good care of him."

Xiao's mother solemnly called Xiao Jinchu Yan Shuhua, and Yan Shuhua confidently assured her, "Aunt, don't worry, I will never forget what I promised you."
