In a high-end office building.
Xu Hui and his daughter Xu Man sat facing each other. The latter spoke softly, "Father, what important matter do you have that you called me here for?"
"What's going on between Chu Zhiye and that girl?" Xu Hui asked unhurriedly.
"That girl is Tomoya's friend."
Xu Hui remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "As your father, I hope you have a happy future, a wonderful husband, a harmonious family, and even lovely children, and a blissful life."
“If you really intend to spend the rest of your lives with Chu Zhiye, I hope your relationship will take another step forward. Only when your relationship takes another step forward can I feel at ease entrusting the company to you.”
After he finished speaking, the room fell silent.
Xu Man hesitated for a moment, then said, “I understand what Father means. But Zhiye doesn’t seem to have any thoughts on that, and right now my abilities aren’t enough to support marriage. The conditions aren’t right in all aspects. Let’s wait a few more years until I’m able to do so.”
"Go out and get a job."
"good."
Xu Man slowly left, while Xu Hui sat in his seat, gazing at the scenery outside the window, motionless, as if lost in thought.
... ...
Six o'clock in the afternoon.
Xu Man was working when Xu Hui walked over and said, "Come to my office tomorrow."
"I see."
After Xu Hui left, Xu Man also didn't want to work anymore. She packed her things and then left the company.
She drove home slowly.
Click!
As soon as I entered, I saw an old lady sitting on the sofa.
"Who are you?"
Chu's mother narrowed her eyes to slits: "You must be Xu Man? I'm Xiao Guai's grandma."
"My little darling?"
Chu Zhi also stuck his head out: "It's me."
Pfft!
Xu Man's smile rippled across her pretty face, making her already charming features even more lively and spirited, and her silvery laughter echoed in the air.
She almost died laughing: "My little darling..."
"Hahaha... ..."
"This is hilarious! Chu Zhiye, you're a grown man, and this is your nickname?"
"My little darling, my little darling, my little darling."
"Chu Zhiye, why aren't you answering?"
Chu Zhi continued cooking in the kitchen without answering.
It took Xu Man a long time to control her smile before she noticed the displeasure in Chu's mother's eyes.
Xu Man realized the mistake of her actions and smiled sheepishly, "Grandma..."
Chu's mother said, "You are impolite, I don't like you."
"Guai Guai" is Chu Fang's nickname, and "Xiao Guai Guai" is the nickname of Chu Zhiye and Chu Jin. They were all chosen by Chu's mother herself, who thought the nicknames were very nice. But today, someone actually mocked the nicknames.
This is something she cannot tolerate.
Xu Man was suddenly numb.
She quickly explained and tried to cheer up Chu's mother, but the latter ignored her.
Night fell.
The three of them sat at the dining table to eat. Xu Man picked up some meat with her chopsticks and put it in Chu's mother's bowl: "Grandma, it's all my fault, please don't be angry."
"I'm not angry."
"Then why don't you talk to me?"
"I don't want to talk to you."
"Aren't you angry yet?"
"I'm not angry."
Unable to resolve the conflict between the two, Xu Man turned her gaze to Chu Zhiye, who shrugged, indicating his helplessness.
After finishing her meal, Chu's mother looked at the moon in the night sky and said, "My little darling, I want to go home."
She had originally planned to wander the rest of her life, using her tragic experiences to anger Gao Ruoyun to death and make that Gao regret it deeply. But as the sun set, she suddenly missed her family, Chu's father, Chu Fang, Chu Jin, and the aunties at home.
Chu Zhi nodded, not surprised.
My own grandmother is just that kind of person—stubborn on the outside but soft on the inside.
He then took Chu's mother away from the Limin Lane community, hailed a taxi, and headed home.
On the way.
Chu's mother was leaning against the window, gazing at the night sky, when she suddenly turned around and asked, "Sweetie, is that girl your girlfriend?"
"No, we're just living together. It won't be long before she moves out, or I have to move out," Chu Zhiye explained.
"Oh, that's good."
"What's wrong?"
After hesitating for two seconds, Chu's mother said, "I don't like that girl."
"Why?"
"I just don't like it for no reason."
The conversation between the two ended there.
Back in the villa area, the whole family was waiting for them outside.
Chu's father was the most excited: "You're finally back!"
Chu Fang said, "Mom, you need to take your phone with you when you go out in the future, otherwise I won't be able to contact you, and I won't have money to scan the QR code."
Zhong Tingyue: "Mom, you two can just argue, why did you have to run away from home?"
"Run away from home? You walked less than a few kilometers, is that running away from home? Isn't that just a stroll?" Gao Ruoyun said with disdain.
After eating and drinking her fill, Chu's mother couldn't stand such mockery. She put her hands on her hips and said, "So what? I'm happy to do it! I suddenly realized something. My darling is surnamed Chu, and my two little darlings are also surnamed Chu. That makes our Chu family even more outstanding and powerful."
Gao Ruoyun replied quietly, "Your surname isn't Chu."
Chu's Mom: @#￥%……&
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, the two families quickly pulled each other away and led them into the villa.
Chu Zhi also smiled and shook his head.
They then returned to Limin Lane residential area.
Back home, Xu Man lay on the sofa, playing on her tablet, then suddenly put it down and sat up straight.
"Is that your grandmother?"
"Yes," Chu Zhiye replied while changing his shoes.
Xu Man stroked her chin: "You were able to get your grandma home so quickly, which means you're from Shanghai? Hey, how come you're from Shanghai? Since you're a local, your family must have some assets. Why were you begging at the airport back then?"
Chu Zhi glanced at her; "I was squatting down to rest, and you thought I was begging."
Xu Man took a deep breath and slapped her forehead: "Mistake, a major mistake! I thought you were a beggar! Give me back my hundred yuan!"
"I won't pay it back."
"Why?"
You owe me.
"I owe your grandma her legs."
Chu Zhi also closed the door, blocking all of Xu Man's greetings from entering.
... ...
The next morning, Chu Zhi finished his breakfast and prepared to go to work.
Xu Manqiao's face was beaming with a bright smile. He asked, "What are you laughing at so early in the morning?"
Xu Man's smile widened: "I think something good is going to happen today."
Chu Zhi nodded after listening.
