Chapter 575 Extra Chapter—The Heart of an Old Father.
Chi Yanzhou never expected that the day after confirming his relationship with his girlfriend, the Lu family would implement a curfew, requiring him to be home by 8 p.m.
This rule was personally decided by his future father-in-law, who rushed back to Beijing after learning that his daughter was dating.
If it weren't for his future mother-in-law's help, Chi Yanzhou seriously doubted he would have even been able to see his girlfriend.
After all, starting from the second day, the Lu family launched a "comprehensive, no-dead-angle protection mode".
In the morning, Lu Xici personally drove her to school, ostensibly because "Dad stipulated that this was to prevent certain people from doing so."
At noon, after getting off the plane, Shikazu didn't even go home, but went straight to Kyoto University to pick up his daughter for lunch.
He casually gave Chi Yanzhou, who was waiting at the gate, a "friendly" look. As for the evening... the Lu family's gates are tightly closed after eight o'clock, so don't even think about it.
Chi Yanzhou was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Not long ago, he was described by Lu Jin as "a young man more reliable than a biological son," a model of "ambition, ability, and responsibility."
But ever since he became Nan Nan's boyfriend, he has instantly fallen from grace in his future father-in-law's eyes.
What outstanding youth? Bullshit!
He's a cunning wolf who schemed to steal his own precious daughter!
If it weren't for Sang Niannian's gentle persuasion and Lu Nange's big, blinking eyes pleading for him, Chi Yanzhou estimated that he wouldn't have even been able to step into the Lu family's doorstep.
In Lujin, under Lu Xici's strict surveillance, the two finally made it to Lu Nange's sophomore summer vacation... They planned to take a trip and have a proper date.
As a result, on the evening of the holiday, Lu Jin cleared his throat and looked on with a serious expression that said, "It's for your own good."
"My dear daughter, I've figured it out... Young people should prioritize their careers! They need to have their own foundation!"
Lu Nange was drinking soup when she heard this and was taken aback, blinking her eyes.
"Dad, didn't you say before that I could leave the mentally taxing things like business to my brother, and that I could just lie back and collect dividends and be a little rich woman?"
Shikazu remained unfazed: "Nonsense...that's all ancient history! Times have changed, and girls should have their own career paths!"
So, starting tomorrow, let your brother focus on working on his own tech company.
"You're in complete control of our hundreds of chain supermarkets across the country! The goals... don't be too ambitious, just try to get them listed on the stock exchange within three years!"
Lu Xici, who was drinking water next to him, almost choked. He looked up and met his father's "loving" gaze, immediately understood, and solemnly agreed.
"That's right! Sis, take my advice: for women, making money is the most important thing! Love? Even dogs wouldn't talk about that! Once you have money, what can't you have?"
So, on her first day off, Lu Nange was "forced" by her father and brother to take on the role of head of the supermarket business at the Lu Group.
When Chi Yanzhou heard the news, his feelings were mixed... Sure enough, as he expected, his girlfriend successfully got busy afterwards.
He silently adjusted his own schedule based on Lu Nange's...
Become a "jack-of-all-trades" brick that can be moved wherever needed, squeeze in a date during her free time, and provide all the support she needs.
Lu Nange also has a strong competitive spirit, and once she took on the responsibility, she went all out.
She was already intelligent, and with the help of Chi Yanzhou, a business "cheat code," who imparted all his knowledge, and her own family's resources, she actually made this business thrive.
In her senior year of college, Lu Nange delivered a result that shocked everyone.
She not only stabilized the basic business of the chain supermarket, but also transformed the "chain supermarket" into a "city life plaza" covering multiple business formats through market positioning and a series of successful mergers and acquisitions.
Furthermore, it successfully facilitated its independent listing...
On the day of the bell-ringing ceremony, Lu Nange, dressed in a simple and smart suit, stood under the spotlight, composed, confident, and dazzling.
Below the stage, Chi Yanzhou's gaze was fixed on her, his eyes overflowing with pride and tenderness.
On the other side of the audience, Lu Jin watched his daughter take control of the situation on stage, and his beard almost stood on end with pride.
Then, as if remembering something, his face fell again, and he whispered to Lu Xici beside him.
"Oh no, oh no! With our daughter being so amazing, won't that kid surnamed Chi be even more unwilling to let go?"
Lu Xici looked at her radiant sister on the stage, then glanced at Chi Yanzhou, whose gaze was always following her sister, not far away.
It's rare that I didn't complain to my dad; I just sighed and patted him on the shoulder.
"Dad, just admit it. Your 'delaying strategy' for your career... seems to have cultivated an even better 'ally' and 'partner' for him."
Shikazu: "..." — Well, it seems like I've shot myself in the foot.
Lu Beiye: "My sister is born to shine!"
Lu Jin slapped Lu Xici on the back and puffed out his chest: "That's right! What do you mean by 'training someone'?"
My daughter is naturally dazzling! She's got impeccable family background!
Sang Niannian, who had been smiling elegantly the whole time, finally couldn't help but gently pinch her husband's arm.
"Alright, alright. Besides Ayan, tell me, which young man is good enough for our daughter these days?"
Lu Jin retorted, "Does she absolutely have to get married? Can't our daughter be beautiful on her own? She can be a princess at home for the rest of her life, it's not like we can't afford to support her!"
Sang Niannian: "Then why don't you think about it from a different perspective? The more you try to stop them like they're guarding against thieves, the more they might feel that they are truly in love with each other, and their relationship might get even better."
If you're more open-minded, just let them be. Maybe one day you'll find it boring and break up with them.
Shikazu's eyes widened, and without thinking, he blurted out, "He wouldn't dare!"
Sang Niannian and Lu Xici both rubbed their foreheads...
[Husband/Dad, isn't your logic a bit contradictory?]
Lu Beiye: "Grandpa Chi told me that he wholeheartedly supports Yan Ge marrying into our family."
She also said that if her sister marries Yan-ge in the future, Yan-ge can move in directly.
He doesn't mind being an "empty nester" in the old house all by himself, as long as his sister and Yan-ge are happy!
Lu Xici raised an eyebrow in surprise and looked at her younger brother: "This isn't like you, Aye... Shouldn't you be the one who's most reluctant to part with Nannan? Why are you speaking up for your brother Yan?"
Lu Beiye: "I'm reluctant, but... my sister's happiness is the most important thing!"
These words, like a small pebble thrown into the lake of Rokujin, rippled outwards...
Sang Niannian took her husband's hand at the right moment: "Honey, the children have all grown up. Xiao Ye is right, our daughter's happiness is what we should care about most."
Besides, don't you know how Ah Yan treats our daughter?
What we should do is support all her decisions, no matter how high she flies or how far she goes; her family will always be her support.
