Lan Zheng said softly: "Our affairs will become clear now."
Xu Susu smiled and said, "Didn't you say your grandmother would come to propose marriage? I have to cooperate with you in the play, otherwise I would be so sorry for her love for me."
Lan Zheng: “…”
"If you want to give me flowers or gifts, or invite me out for dinner, a movie, a walk in the park, or something like that, I'll agree to it."
The two of them made a good date.
Lan Zheng finally smiled, but when the servants brought out some snacks and fruits, Lan Zheng returned to his cold expression.
His eldest aunt came back soon.
Seeing the speed of his future aunt, Lan Zheng felt that his face was swollen from being beaten by his aunt. Was he that unbearable?
Knowing that he was coming, my aunt dropped all her work at the company and hurried back.
Mu Zhiyuan probably didn't have this kind of treatment, which would allow Xu Chu to drop everything and rush home just to see him.
Lan Zheng comforted himself in his heart, thinking that Xu Chu's hasty return meant that he valued him.
"Mr. Xu."
As soon as Xu Chu entered the room, Lan Zheng put down his water cup, stood up, and called out politely.
Xu Chu stared at Lan Zheng for a moment before saying calmly, "Young Master Lan, please sit down."
Lan Zheng sat down.
When Xu Chu came in, he had already seen the vast sea of flowers in front of the villa's entrance.
My sister was holding a large red brocade box in her hand. Without asking, I knew that it was the jewelry that Lan Zheng gave to her.
Seeing her sister looking over, Susu quickly placed the brocade box on the coffee table and smiled gently, "Sister, why are you back?"
She stood up and walked to her sister, considerately helping her sister take off her coat. It was warm in the room, so there was no need to wear so much.
Lan Zheng was filled with envy and jealousy.
Susu has never been so considerate to him.
Fortunately, Xu Chu is Susu's biological sister. The two sisters have depended on each other for many years and have a deep sisterly love. He can only envy and jealousy, and cannot compete with Xu Chu for status.
Nor would he be stupid enough to compete with Xu Chu for status.
He also has to respect this aunt.
"I heard that Young Master Lan was coming to visit, and since I happened to be free at the company, I came back to see you. Young Master Lan, do you have any advice for me?"
Xu Chu sat down with her sister, and she looked at Lan Zheng sharply.
Lan Zheng hurriedly said, "Mr. Xu, you are too serious. I dare not teach you. I was pursuing Su Su and wanted to give her a surprise. I didn't want to alarm Mr. Xu. I was too high-profile. Next time I will be a little more low-key."
Xu Chu cursed in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged.
"Does Young Master Lan really like my Su Su?"
Lan Zheng nodded, "I really like Susu, so I'm pursuing her."
Xu Chu: “…”
This guy was clearly forced by Old Lady Lan, but he refused to admit it in front of her and kept telling lies.
After a moment's silence, Xu Chu said seriously, "Young Master Lan, even though I'm far away in City A, I've heard about your Lan family's affairs. Now that the dust has settled, your old lady doesn't have the ability to stir up any more trouble. You don't have to put yourself in a difficult position anymore."
"Marriage is no joke. It's a lifelong matter. Neither Master Lan nor any of us likes being forced to marry someone we don't like."
"Master Lan has said more than once that you don't like gentle girls like our Susu. Why do you have to put yourself in a difficult position and force yourself to do something that goes against your true feelings? If Master Lan meets his true love in the future, your true love will feel a thorn in her heart when she knows what you did to Susu, which will affect your relationship with your true love."
Xu Chu even considered Lan Zheng's future.
"Although Susu and your sister are good friends, you don't have to consider Qingqing, because you are the one who will marry and live with her. As the sister-in-law, Qingqing can't live with her brother and sister-in-law forever. Don't pursue Susu just because your sister likes Susu and hopes that you two will become a couple, so don't follow Qingqing's wishes and pursue Susu."
"That would be extremely irresponsible to both you and Susu. After all, life is long. If you two don't have true love, how can you spend your lives together? Or do you plan to divorce if you can't get along after marriage?"
Lan Zheng listened quietly to Xu Chu's words, then he said seriously, "Mr. Xu, I apologize for my previous arrogance. I really didn't like gentle women like Su Su before, but after spending a few times with her, I suddenly feel that Su Su is actually quite good."
"I have a very cold and hard personality. If I marry a woman with the same temperament as me, we won't give in to each other after marriage, which will lead to conflicts and a long-lasting marriage. But a girl like Susu can neutralize my coldness and hardness. I have really changed my opinion of Susu and want to give myself a chance."
"Mr. Xu, I also hope you can give me a chance. I promise you that from now on, everything I do to pursue Susu will be done with my heart, and there will be absolutely no other artificial reasons."
He still had to keep it a secret from the old lady, but in front of Xu Chu, Lan Zheng had to show a sincere attitude.
"sister."
Susu called her sister softly.
Xu Chu tilted his head to look at his sister, and saw that she seemed to be hesitant to speak, with blushes on her beautiful face. Xu Chu's heart skipped a beat. Was his sister deceived by Lan Zheng's words?
She patted the back of her sister's hand, not letting her speak, and continued to say to Lan Zheng: "Master Lan, even if I want to give you and Susu a chance, I don't want you two to be together. Even if you are sincere, your Lan family is too far away. Master Lan is also aware of our family's situation."
"Susu is my only family now, and she's gentle. I really don't feel comfortable letting her marry someone who lives thousands of miles away. I was worried about your Lan family being so chaotic before, and even though it's quieter now, I still can't feel at ease."
"Unless you can become our Xu family's son-in-law, I think that's impossible. You are the young master of the Lan family and will be the head of the Lan family in the future. You have your responsibilities. It's impossible for you to abandon your responsibilities and come to our Xu family to become a son-in-law."
Lan Zheng: "...I need to talk to my parents about being a live-in son-in-law. If they have no objection, I'm willing to be your Xu family's live-in son-in-law, as long as I can be with Susu."
Xu Chu: “…”
Most men would not want to be a son-in-law, let alone a man of status and position like Lan Zheng.
Xu Chu thought that if she said that, Lan Zheng would definitely back down.
Unexpectedly, Lan Zheng said that as long as his parents agreed, he would be willing to be a son-in-law.
Lan Zheng has already expressed his opinion, so if she still objects, well, it seems like she has no reason to do so.
For the first time, Xu Chu felt speechless.
Susu was also surprised that Lan Zheng was willing to be a son-in-law for her.
