The next morning.
The wine from last night didn't put Chu Fang into a deep sleep; instead, he woke up early this morning, broke free of the covers, and slowly got out of bed.
I have to say, central heating is great; it doesn't dry out the air like air conditioning.
Chu Fang stepped out of the house and was greeted by a vast expanse of white, with countless snowflakes piled up in the world.
"Xiao Chu, get up." Gao Ruoyun said with a smile when she saw him. "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"I'm used to it at home," Chu Fang replied. Since it was a banquet for relatives and friends, Gao Ruoyun was making preparations, and he went forward to help his future mother-in-law.
"No need, I can manage on my own."
"Anyway, I'm just idling around."
Gao Ruoyun watched her future son-in-law bustling around, her face full of smiles.
Putting aside her 'vicious and foolish mother-in-law', she was particularly satisfied with Chu Fang. Putting aside his material conditions, his excellent cooking skills alone were enough to make him a worthy son-in-law.
She knew that Chu Fang cooked in their daily life in Shanghai, trying to find ways to prepare delicious meals to satisfy her two daughters' tastes.
“Don’t spoil Zhong Tingyue too much in Shanghai. Let her do everything she’s supposed to do herself,” Gao Ruoyun said.
Before Chu Fang could speak, Zhong Tingyue's clear voice rang out: "Mother, you're talking badly about me behind my back."
"Then I'll say it to your face: handle your own affairs and don't let Xiao Chu worry about them."
Zhong Tingyue: "... ..."
It doesn't really matter if you say it behind someone's back.
Chu Fang turned around and saw Zhong Tingyue wearing a colorful floral cotton-padded jacket with delicate and intricate patterns, paired with thick and high-quality trousers.
God is unfair; He treats humankind unfairly.
On some people, this outfit would look outdated and have a vintage feel, but on Zhong Tingyue, it exudes an effortless sense of style, and adds a touch of gentleness and elegance.
Breakfast consisted of spicy soup and steamed buns.
Actually, Hu spicy soup is a very complicated dish. It takes a lot of time to prepare various ingredients and simmer them for a long time to make a delicious Hu spicy soup. Gao Ruoyun usually doesn't make it.
Today, because of the arrival of the Chu people, we are cooking spicy soup.
Chu Fang dipped the steamed buns into the spicy soup, held the bowl, squatted in front of the door, and took a sip of the soup. The fragrant soup base, tender shredded meat, and refreshing vegetables made each bite a different experience.
Taking a bite of a xiaolongbao is simply so satisfying; there's a saying that goes like that.
Absolutely ruthless!
Chu Fang said to Zhong Tingyue beside him, "Right, sisters?"
Zhong Tingyue: "???"
Are you out of your mind?
After breakfast, Chu Fang helped Gao Ruoyun prepare for today's banquet, washing and chopping vegetables.
Before long, Yang Meina and Li Meng arrived to help out. Yang Meina said, "Chu Fang, you're such a natural-born scoundrel. You're so rich, yet you still like to cook. I applaud your efforts!"
Yang Meina's mother rolled her eyes at her daughter.
You're so good with words!
While washing the vegetables, Chu Fang said, "I'm not like some people—specifically referring to a 25-year-old female anchor named Yang Meina from the Central Plains, who is currently the owner of an MCN company. She doesn't have any money herself, doesn't like working, and insists on enjoying her good fortune. Most importantly, that Yang Meina is still single!"
At this point, Yang Meina's mother started nagging her to get married again.
Yang Meina's teeth were almost ground to dust.
You bitch!
Why are the conditions on this page so demanding? It's like she's the only one in the whole world who meets them.
In terms of verbal sparring, she is far inferior to Chu Fang.
Li Meng pursed her lips.
No wonder Yang Meina hated Chu Fang so much; there was a reason for it.
As the sun rose higher in the sky, the relatives and friends invited by the Zhong family arrived in twos and threes. As the focus of the day, Chu Fang had no choice but to leave the kitchen and meet the relatives who had come.
Zhong Tingyue's maternal grandparents and paternal grandparents all live in the city with their other son and rarely come home. Chu Fang didn't see them when they last came to the village, so this is their first meeting.
Zhong Ping introduced a middle-aged man to Chu Fang: "This is my brother. Call him Uncle."
He nodded slightly; "Uncle."
"Hmm, not bad." The uncle stood with his hands behind his back, displaying an arrogant air. "What do you do?"
Before Chu Fang could speak, Zhong Ping took the initiative to say, "Hey, Chu Fang just graduated a year ago and doesn't have a proper job yet. He's just drifting around and is currently working at a small studio."
Chu Fang: "???"
No, what happened?
Dude, I earn ten million every day, and I'm just wasting my life?
My future father-in-law, do you have a misconception about me?
Upon hearing this, the uncle nodded: "Then you'd better work harder, don't end up like your father-in-law, who's always so irresponsible."
Chu Fang tilted his head: "Huh?"
Zhong Ping turned to Chu Fang and said, "Little Chu, you must remember what your uncle said. These are all lessons learned and hard-won. Don't think that just because you work at Yueyue Studio, you can slack off. You still need to work harder."
"Moreover, although you have several companies under your control, one on the Bund in Shanghai that has cost hundreds of millions, another is a construction company that has cost tens of millions, and you have also invested in many other companies, you must understand that you have to work hard and not be like your uncle... uh, no, like me, who is so irresponsible."
"Do you understand?"
Chu Fang: "..."
I don't know anything!
Even though you're my future father-in-law, I still have to say, what are you saying? I don't understand a single word you're saying.
His mind raced, brainstorming, before he finally nodded and said, "I understand. I will learn from my uncle."
Uncle Zhong Tingyue's face twitched, seemingly embarrassed. He looked at his younger brother, Zhong Ping, who grinned. Uncle Zhong snorted and went into the house.
Chu Fang asked Zhong Tingyue, "What's going on with those two brothers?"
Zhong Tingyue replied calmly, "My uncle is a serious man with a successful career. He can't stand my dad's carefree attitude all day long and is dissatisfied with him. He often lectures my dad in his words, and you have become the best tool for my dad to fight back against my uncle."
So I've become a tool?
They always make me hateful whenever I see relatives and friends.
You are such a good father-in-law in China!
