On the way back, Chu's mother kept agonizing over whether to give the bracelet to Zhong Tingyue, while Chu's father drove and dealt with his wife at the same time.
Whatever choice Chu's mother makes, Chu's father will support her.
As they neared home, Chu's mother finally made up her mind: "Give this bracelet to that wicked woman!"
Chu's father nodded: "Okay."
As soon as she got out of the car, Chu's mother saw Chu Fangzheng squatting in front of the door, eating fruit, and called out loudly, "My dear~~~"
"You're finally back! Mom missed you so much!"
"You didn't even call your mother so I could come pick you up."
Chu Fang replied, "I wanted to give you a surprise, isn't it?"
"A pleasant surprise! But not as surprising as my last trip to Shanghai."
Chu Fang, Chu's father, Chu Fang's maternal grandmother, and paternal grandparents: "... ..."
It was quite a 'surprise'; the whole family was terrified.
As night fell, the entire Chu family arrived: Uncle Chu Fang's family, Chu Fang's family, Grandpa and Grandma, Grandma, and Zhou Qiong sat at one table.
Grandpa sat in the main seat and said with a smile, "Our family is about to have a new member."
The uncle said, "There might be more than one."
These words puzzled everyone.
Shouldn't there only be Zhong Tingyue?
The eldest brother, Chu Yongquan, spoke up: "Ye Shan is pregnant."
Upon hearing this, the Chu family was overjoyed, and they toasted each other, with the grandfather drinking several cups.
Chu Yongquan raised his glass to Chu Fang: "Chu Fang, thank you, brother."
Chu Fang quickly refused, but his uncle said, "Your elder brother should toast you."
Aunt Qian Liyan nodded in agreement: "That's right, that's right."
Chu Yongquan and Ye Shan got married but never had children, not because they had any health problems, but because they were burdened with a mortgage and their family's financial situation did not allow them to have children.
Chu Fang reached out and helped them both up, improving the family situation of his elder brother and sister-in-law.
The couple has now paid off their mortgage, bought a new car, and has savings to cover their child's expenses.
And this is all thanks to the Chu side.
Chu Fang said, "We are family."
He poured himself a full glass of wine, clinked glasses with his elder brother, and the two drank together.
The entire Chu family was harmonious and warm.
... ...
Central Plains.
Gao Ruoyun scolded her second daughter:
"From now on, you must do your homework. No cheating or shirking your duties."
"Pay attention in class, don't get distracted, and don't argue with the teacher."
"The test papers handed out by the teacher must be neatly arranged and not crumpled up."
“... ..."
Gao Ruoyun listed several shortcomings that Zhong Rou should correct, then took a sip of water: "And..."
Zhong Rou's eyes widened: "Huh? There's more?"
That's going to kill me!
Gao Ruoyun then outlined her requirements and principles for over an hour before allowing Zhong Rou to leave.
Bang!
Zhong Rou angrily opened Zhong Tingyue's door, and Gao Ruoyun asked calmly, "Are you very dissatisfied?"
Zhong Rou smiled broadly: "Mother, no, I'm very happy."
Upon entering Zhong Tingyue's room, she jumped onto the bed and shouted, "Zhong Tingyue, did you tell on me to Mother?"
Those requirements and rules were like a tight band, restricting her studies and life.
Zhong Tingyue rolled her eyes: "It's me, what do you want?"
"I, I, I will never play with you again."
Zhong Rou left the room angrily after uttering those words.
While washing her feet, Zhong Tingyue sent a message to Chu Fang.
[Wang Shu: Mr. Chu, you owe me a favor.]
[Solo Dating Player: ???!!!]
[Solo Queue Player in Love: What's Going On.JpG]
[Wang Shu: You told the teacher about Zhong Rou's weakness, and Zhong Rou got scolded by my mom when she got home. I took all the blame for you.]
[Solo player in a dating game: That's your sister.]
[Wang Shu: Never mind then.]
Chu Fang was also thinking of his younger sister; it seemed somewhat immoral for her to threaten him again.
[Solo player in a dating game: You should owe me a favor; I helped you manage Zhong Rou.]
[Wang Shu: That makes sense.]
[Solo player in a dating game: You owe me a favor.]
[Wang Shu: What do you want?]
[Solo player in a dating game: Posting a refreshing photo.]
[Wang Shu: Image.JpG]
[Solo Dating Player: ???!!]
[Solo player in a dating game: No, I was just kidding, you're really going to send it?]
[Solo Queue Player in Love: Zhong Tingyue, you've ruined my life!]
[Wang Shu: What do you mean?]
[Wang Shu: Reply?]
[Wang Shu: I think I know what you're doing?]
[Wang Shu: Do you want more?]
[Solo player in dating mode: Yes!]
Wang Shu has withdrawn the photos.
[Solo Dating Player: Zhong Tingyue, I'm not done with you yet!]
A sly, fox-like smile appeared on Zhong Tingyue's delicate face.
... ...
In the next room, Gao Ruoyun sat under the lamp, calculating as she softly said, "There are four in our family, three in my brother's family, your parents, my parents, and three in Nana's family..."
Gao Ruocun was calculating how many people to invite to his eldest daughter's engagement ceremony.
Turning around, she saw her husband sitting with his legs crossed, looking completely indifferent. She said, "You dead man, give me some advice!"
Zhong Ping said, "Just invite relatives and friends, and a few close neighbors. No need to invite anyone else."
"This isn't quite right," Gao Ruoyun said hesitantly. "Chu Fang has so much money; it would be a bit distasteful if we were to operate on a smaller scale."
“It’s just an engagement.” Zhong Ping scrolled through short videos. “Besides, Xiao Chu values our daughter, not those empty formalities.”
Gao Ruoyun thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay."
