Liu Ruonan and Zhuang Sheng were discussing the matter of bringing Chen Jianmin and Gao Shu over. They were thinking that business would get busier and busier, so hiring someone would be better for their own family, and the money would go into their own hands.
Besides, if the two of them came, Gao Shanshan would be able to see her parents once a week, and the family reunion would be the happiest thing. More than a month had passed since the proposal, and Gao Shanshan had already settled down.
When Liu Ruonan picked up Gao Shanshan, she would occasionally meet with her homeroom teacher to inquire about her situation. As always, Gao Shanshan's performance was excellent. Not only was her academic performance excellent, but her character was also excellent. She was very helpful and a lively and lovely girl. Many of her classmates liked her very much.
Liu Ruonan was very pleased to hear the teacher give Gao Shanshan such a high evaluation.
Gao Shanshan was also very grateful. In this city without parents, Liu Ruonan and Zhuang Sheng acted as parents. They say that an elder brother is like a father and an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. It is absolutely true.
Zhuang Sheng suggested that since they were going to pick them up, they should also pick up their grandparents, so they might as well bring their uncles to the city to play for a day, so as to avoid them finding things to say and causing unnecessary conflicts.
Liu Ruonan had no objection to this. Although no one was willing to take Zhuang Sheng in at the time, compared to Zhuang Sheng's biological father, they had done a good job. At least they didn't add insult to injury when Zhuang Sheng was in trouble.
When talking about this, Zhuang Sheng felt a little melancholy.
After all, these things always remind me of my biological father.
He had never thought that the relationship between father and son would end in this way. As time went by, Zhuang Sheng no longer hated Zhuang Qiang, but he could not forgive him.
Those who have not experienced it will never be able to understand the feeling of disappointment.
Liu Ruonan was just about to comfort Zhuang Sheng when she heard a knock on the door. Liu Ruonan turned around and shouted at the door, "The door is not closed, come in!"
The door was pushed open, and Chen Lei walked in, followed by Xiaofang. She pinched the corners of her clothes with both hands, lowered her head, and pursed her lips with a shy smile.
This seemed to be Xiaofang's signature move when she was nervous, she would always pinch the corner of her clothes. No matter what kind of clothes, she could always find a corner to pinch.
"Come in and sit down, big brother."
When Zhuang Sheng saw the two of them come in, he stood at the door and didn't go in. He then began to greet them.
Even though Chen Lei was a tall man, he seemed a little overwhelmed at the moment, as if he was embarrassed to speak up. Zhuang Sheng frowned slightly and looked at Chen Lei and asked:
"Brother, are you in trouble?"
Pa—Liu Ruonan slapped Zhuang Sheng on the leg.
This idiot is so slow when it comes to matters of the heart. Both of their actions are so obvious, yet he still can't see it.
I don’t know who pointed it out, or maybe it just developed slowly, but the two of them couldn’t help themselves and fell in love with each other.
Initially, Liu Ruonan had intended to be a matchmaker, but she was worried she didn't really know Xiaofang. But after a few months of getting to know her, she realized she was a pretty good girl. And while Chen Lei might be a bit dull, he was ultimately a man of deep loyalty and righteousness.
It's also good for two people to walk together.
Zhuang Sheng looked at Liu Ruonan in confusion, not understanding why she hit him.
At this moment, Chen Lei and Xiaofang had already walked in and stood in front of Liu Ruonan and Zhuang Sheng, but they were too embarrassed to speak.
Liu Ruonan smiled and moved two stools for them to sit down.
"Brother, if you have anything to say, just tell me!"
After hearing what Liu Ruonan said, Chen Lei turned around and glanced at Xiaofang. Xiaofang was also looking at Chen Lei at this time. Their eyes met, and Xiaofang lowered her head shyly again, and pinched Chen Lei from behind.
Xiaofang didn't use much force, so Chen Lei didn't feel any pain. He just smiled foolishly, scratched the back of his head, looked at Zhuang Sheng and said:
"Zhuang Sheng, Ruonan, I do have something I want to talk to you about today."
Zhuang Sheng nodded, somewhat confused. Liu Ruonan simply smiled and teased, "Well, go ahead! I'm listening!"
"That...that...Xiaofang and I are together." Chen Lei hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuang Sheng looked at Chen Lei in surprise. He couldn't see what was going on at all. When did this happen?
Liu Ruonan was not surprised. Zhuang Sheng was sometimes slow to react to his own feelings, let alone being loved by others.
"When did this happen?" Zhuang Sheng couldn't help but ask.
"I forgot, it's been quite a while." Chen Lei scratched his head and said.
"Brother, what do you mean?" Liu Ruonan looked at Chen Lei and asked, guessing that the two of them must have reached the stage of discussing marriage. Otherwise, he would not have come to her and Zhuang Sheng to explain the situation.
"That's right, we want to take a leave and go back to get married." After Chen Lei said this, he laughed foolishly again.
"This speed is quite fast." Zhuang Sheng turned to look at Liu Ruonan, feeling it was a little unbelievable.
"Are you faster?" Liu Ruonan teased with a look of anger. Seeing her naughty expression, Zhuang Sheng really wanted to pull her over and spank her.
Chen Lei couldn't help but laugh. Everyone knew Zhuang Sheng's wedding was a hasty one. They decided today and got married tomorrow. It wasn't a big deal, and Chen Ergou and his wife showed up to mess things up.
"Have my second uncle and aunt found out yet?" Zhuang Sheng asked. Marriage always requires preparation, but Chen Lei still hasn't taken Xiaofang back to meet his parents.
Chen Lei said: "I wrote back a few days ago and I already know."
"Is everything ready at home?" Zhuang Sheng continued to ask.
"They haven't replied yet, and I don't know what's going on. I'm thinking of taking Xiaofang back home so she can meet her family first."
That's true. Chen Lei's situation is different from Zhuang Sheng's, so there's no need to rush into marriage. It's not right for the mother-in-law to see her daughter-in-law's true appearance after the wedding. That would be disrespectful to the parents.
Zhuang Sheng also supports this point.
"Just go back. Nannan and I will take care of it here, you don't have to worry." When Zhuang Sheng called Liu Ruonan, Ruofa looked doting.
Chen Lei nodded and said to them, "Then I'll take Xiaofang back first to check on the family situation. We'll talk about it when we decide to get married!"
"Okay!" Zhuang Sheng nodded heavily.
"Then we'll go down first." Chen Lei said, and then took Xiaofang out.
Zhuang Sheng looked at Liu Ruonan in surprise: "Why aren't you surprised? Did you know this a long time ago?"
"It's such an obvious thing, but you are the only one who can't see it."
Liu Ruonan teased. Zhuang Sheng looked at her playful look, grabbed her wrist, and with a force, brought her into his arms.
