After getting off the plane, Chu's mother linked arms with her mother and chattered excitedly about Shanghai, saying she wanted to take her mother to various places to visit, while Chu's father walked slowly behind.
"Hurry up, your little one might be getting impatient." Chu's mother turned around.
"Oh." Father Chu wasn't in a hurry. After thinking for a moment, he said, "When you meet Zhong Tingyue's parents, be careful not to be as unruly as you were a while ago."
Upon hearing this, Chu Fang's maternal grandmother glared at Chu's father.
What gives you the right to call your precious darling that?
"My daughter isn't barbaric!"
“Yes!” Chu’s mother tilted her chin up. “I would never do that!”
Chu's father: "... ..."
The three of them walked out of the passage and immediately saw Chu Fang. Chu's mother narrowed her eyes into slits and called out "Good boy" from a distance, opening her arms and running towards him.
A grown man being called 'good boy'...
The people around him pursed their lips, trying hard not to laugh.
Chu Fang had long been accustomed to the strange looks from those around him. His mother pulled his face and made all sorts of funny faces: "Sweetie, did you miss me? Mommy missed you so much."
"Me too."
How much do you want to?
"I miss you as much as you miss me."
"Good girl."
Chu's father's voice came through: "Be careful in public."
"What's it to you? My son is my flesh and blood, I can do whatever I want with him. You're jealous, aren't you? You're even jealous of your own son."
Chu's father: "... ..."
Chu Fang chatted with his family for a few minutes, then took the suitcase and walked out of the airport together. He said, "Zhong Tingyue has picked up her parents. We agreed to meet at a hotel."
Chu's father nodded without saying anything more.
... ...
At the train station, amidst the bustling crowds, everyone was looking towards a corner on the edge.
A girl was doing push-ups with perfect form, and she had been doing them for at least ten minutes. She still looked energetic, which showed her excellent physical fitness.
After finishing her push-ups, Zhong Rou rolled over and stood up without even breaking a sweat. Ten minutes of push-ups was nothing to her; she even had a record of doing push-ups for half an hour. It was precisely because of this strong physical strength that she was able to keep the boys in her class under her thumb.
She patted the dust off her hands and asked, "Sister, why aren't Mom and Dad here yet? I'm so bored."
"We're almost there."
"Then I'll do another set of high knees."
Speak of the devil, and he appears; Gao Ruoyun and Zhong Ping appear at the exit, and the two sisters quickly go to greet them.
"Father, Mother, you've arrived."
Zhong Ping looked around and said, "Shanghai truly lives up to its reputation as an international metropolis. It's so prosperous, many times more prosperous than our village. No wonder so many young people flock to Shanghai."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the family headed to the parking lot. Upon arriving, Zhong Ping immediately spotted the car's emblem and the golden figure on the front of the vehicle. He gasped, "My god, everyone says there are a lot of rich people in Shanghai, but I never imagined there were so many. I just got out of the car and I already saw a Rolls-Royce. If I could drive a Rolls-Royce, I'd die happy."
Zhong Tingyue pursed her lips, while Zhong Rou craned her neck and timidly said, "Father, you can drive that car, it would be worth dying for you?"
"Of course! That's a Rolls-Royce!"
Zhong Nvxia grabbed Zhong Tingyue's arm: "Sister, give the car keys to Dad, let me see if he can die."
Zhong Tingyue's lips twitched.
That's incredibly filial.
Zhong Rou, you're such a filial son.
Zhong Ping tilted his head, not understanding what his little girl meant by those words, but the next moment he saw his eldest daughter take out her car keys, press them gently, and the Rolls-Royce made the sound of its door opening.
The surrounding onlookers quickly made way for the family to enter.
Zhong Ping: "???"
What happened?
It feels like my lifespan is slipping away!
As Zhong Tingyue put the luggage into the trunk, she said, "This car belongs to Chu Fang."
He turned to his father and asked, "Why don't you drive?"
Men's interests are pretty much the same, and they have a natural love for cars, Zhong Ping is no exception.
“Um… okay.” Zhong Ping nodded.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Rou cried out, her face contorted with grief, "Father, please don't leave! I don't want to leave you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Gao Ruoyun slapped her on the head with a large slap: "Shut up! Or I'll beat you to death!"
“... ..."
As night falls and the city lights come on, Rolls-Royces speed through the streets and alleys, attracting attention even in Shanghai.
Zhong Ping was driving when he rolled down the window and said to the driver next to him, "Hey beautiful, can I add you on WeChat?"
"Okay, I like older men the most."
In an instant, he felt a chill run down his spine. He rolled down the car window, turned to Gao Ruoyun, and gave her an embarrassed smile: "I was just kidding."
"I'm not joking with you, so don't let it happen again."
"YES, sir!"
"Drive faster, Chu Fang and the others might be getting impatient," Gao Ruoyun said.
As the car sped along, Gao Ruoyun grabbed her daughter's arm and asked her about her relationship with Chu Fang and her understanding of his family.
Before long, they arrived at a star-rated hotel.
Meanwhile, Chu Fang, her father, mother, grandmother, and the two sisters, Zhou Qiong and Chu Yi, were chatting outside. When they saw the Rolls-Royce, Chu Fang knew that the people had arrived, and Zhong Ping's family got out of the car.
The two sides met.
Zhong Tingyue greeted Chu's mother with a smile, "Auntie, you look much better."
Chu's mother initially wanted to give a soft snort, adopting the demeanor of a future mother-in-law, but remembering the "three rules" the two had signed, she didn't remain aloof and nodded, saying, "Yes!"
Zhong Tingyue then introduced, "This is my father, my mother, and my younger sister."
Zhong Tingyue and Chu Fang, acting as a bridge between the two families, introduced their respective family members to each other.
Chu's mother and Gao Ruoyun shook hands. As mothers themselves, they immediately sensed the deep-seated prejudice they held against each other.
Chu's mother's prejudice was: she gave birth to a mother who was a "cursed loner"!
Gao Ruoyun's prejudice was: her in-laws were foolish and superstitious!
Their eyes seemed to meet, flashing with lightning. Gao Ruoyun smiled and said, "Hello, Chu Fangniang."
Chu's mother nodded: "Yes, I'm fine, hello."
Gao Ruoyun: "Yes, I'm fine too."
The two greeted each other, but there was no hint of goodwill in their words.
Compared to the two mothers, Zhong Ping and Chu's father had a much gentler relationship. The former was outgoing and talkative, while the latter had a wealth of knowledge and could chat with the former.
"Let's go into the hotel," Chu Fang said, leading the group of elders towards the hotel.
The waiter led everyone inside. Because there were many people, they booked a private room. Everyone took their seats. Chu Fang used the excuse of ordering food to leave the private room and wiped his sweat outside.
Good heavens!
Why did my mom and Zhong Tingyue's mother get into a fight?
Didn't they have a great chat on the phone? They've practically become sisters.
Now it seems they were just superficial sisters.
You two better not ruin my life's most important event...
Just then, a tissue was handed to Chu Fang. He took it and wiped his sweat, then paused for a moment. He turned around and saw Chu Yi leaning against him, a faint smile on his lips: "Second Brother Chu, you're all sweaty, aren't you?"
Chu Fang stubbornly replied, "No."
"Oh, right, no."
Zhou Qiong also stepped out of the private room with a faint smile on her face: "I don't think there's that much of a conflict between them. It's just a temporary awkwardness. Brother, you don't need to worry."
"I hope so."
Chu Fang waved to the waiter, indicating that the food could be served, then took a deep breath and headed towards the private room.
(Sorry for taking a leave of absence...)
