The study was now just a mess and Luo Shuyang.
Luo Shuyang suddenly felt a headache coming on. He knew his family wouldn't agree to them being together so easily.
Chen Manhua came in with her nanny.
"Clean up all the broken pieces on the ground."
Nanny: "Yes."
Soon, the nanny tidied up the study and left.
Luo Shuyang was still looking sadly at the empty space where the antique vases had been placed.
Whenever Ms. Zhao gets angry, he will definitely lose something.
Chen Manhua walked over and gently hugged his waist from behind: "It's okay, Mom is just a little angry. She'll be fine once she calms down."
Luo Shuyang sighed: "I just feel that getting past Qing Yuan won't be easy."
"You know my mom's personality..."
"My dad..."
"When my dad comes back, this house will probably be even more chaotic."
Chen Manhua didn't expect the two to return to China so quickly; it seems that Ye Nuan's matter has indeed caused quite a stir.
Chen Manhua thought for a moment and said, "What if... the Duan family patriarch himself comes to negotiate?"
Luo Shuyang: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but I'm still not sure."
Chen Manhua sighed and leaned her head against Luo Shuyang's back: "If it really doesn't work, we'll just have to drag it out. In time, the die will be cast, and there'll be nothing your parents can do."
Luo Shuyang shook his head: "Dragging it out isn't a solution. If we keep dragging it out like this, problems will inevitably arise sooner or later."
Chen Manhua was also getting anxious: "What should we do then..."
Luo Shuyang: "I'll talk to Duan Ye tomorrow. I haven't figured out how to deal with my parents yet."
Luo Shuyang snapped out of his daze, embraced his wife, and sighed contentedly, "Manhua, it's good that you're here with me."
Chen Manhua smiled gently and hugged her husband back: "Silly boy, we're husband and wife, isn't it only natural that you have me by your side?"
Luo Shuyang lowered his head and kissed her twice. Only when he saw his wife's face turn red did he smile and pinch her cheek: "Tomorrow, I'll have to trouble you to take our daughter to Mom's place so she can see her granddaughter more often. Maybe that will calm her down a bit."
Chen Manhua: "I would have done this even if you hadn't asked."
"If you're going to the Duan family tomorrow, have a proper talk with them. Don't always throw your tantrums. He's your brother-in-law, after all. Give him some face."
Luo Shuyang bent down and picked up his wife, then strode towards the bedroom: "When have I ever been in a bad mood? My temper has been much better lately."
Chen Manhua couldn't help but smile, "Alright, alright, you have the best temper~"
Luo Shuyang's lips curled up slightly, his eyes filled with laughter.
At this moment, in Duan Ze's rented room.
Duan Ze and Shen Niannian were both sitting on the sofa, looking at him with unfriendly eyes.
Duan Ye quickly put his hands together and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, I really have nowhere else to turn. If this matter hadn't been so urgent, I wouldn't have bothered you so late."
Duan Ze rolled his eyes at him, and Shen Niannian sighed as she poured him a cup of hot water.
Duan Ze: "Tell me, what's the matter? Why did you come all this way to find me?"
Duan Ye quickly recounted how Ms. Zhao had come to their house and how she disapproved of his relationship with Luo Qingyuan.
Duan Ze astutely grasped the key point: "What? Don't you use your brain when you do things? You actually signed that damn contract?!"
Shen Niannian frowned: "Then this matter is indeed difficult to handle. I have known Aunt Zhao since I was a child. She has always been a person of her word and she hates greedy people to the extreme."
Duan Ye wanted to make excuses...
Shen Niannian said, "She probably won't listen to your and Qingyuan's explanations; she only believes what she sees for herself."
"I'm afraid... Qingyuan's concealment of the fact that she married you for six months, and that contract... will make her furious."
Shen Niannian recalled her childhood. When Luo Shuyang was in high school, he had a crush on someone and almost had his leg broken by Ms. Zhao. Later, Ms. Zhao forced Luo Shuyang to change his college application and locked him in the house for several days...
The girl Luo Shuyang liked and her family seemed to have disappeared from Kyoto.
She had heard from Luo Qingyuan that Luo Shuyang had threatened Ms. Zhao with a hunger strike, which saved the family's livelihood, but on the condition that Luo Shuyang could not see that girl again.
That girl... came from a very ordinary family, and I don't know what happened to her afterwards.
Following Ms. Zhao's advice, Luo Shuyang arranged a marriage with the Chen family, which was also a story of marriage first, then love.
Otherwise, Luo Shuyang wouldn't have... been married to Chen Manhua for so many years before having a newborn daughter.
Duan Ye: "Sister-in-law, just say what you want to say. Stop hiding it. This is quite urgent."
Shen Niannian glanced at Duan Ye, and finally recounted Luo Shuyang's past in a simple way.
Duan Ze and Duan Ye understood; that meant…
Ms. Zhao won't let Duan Ye and Luo Qingyuan off so easily; she might even repeat the same mistake.
But Duan Ye was not an ordinary girl; on the contrary, her background was enough to make Ms. Zhao wary.
Duan Ze: "I originally thought that as long as I catered to their preferences, there shouldn't be any problems in the long run, but now it seems... that's not necessarily the case."
Shen Niannian sighed again: "Moreover... Uncle Luo is a man who listens to his wife very much. Apart from business, he rarely asks about family matters."
"Uncle Luo and Aunt Zhao also came together through an arranged marriage, a case of marriage before love, and their family backgrounds are quite similar."
Duan Ye suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "If we want to persuade Luo Qingyuan's father to agree, what should we do?"
After thinking for a while, Shen Niannian said, "Uncle Luo is a filial son, so we can ask the old lady for help."
Duan Ye and Duan Ze exchanged a glance, both of them relaxing somewhat.
Duan Ye: "Then I'll go see Grandma tomorrow."
Shen Niannian, however, felt that it might not work.
"If this contract hadn't been exposed, the old lady might have been happy to help you, but now..."
"Even if Luo Qingyuan were to plead, it might not be of any use."
"Don't be fooled by the old lady's cheerful smile and tactful way of speaking. She's actually quite good at smoothing things over. She might not offend her daughter-in-law for your sake unless it's absolutely necessary."
Duan Ze and Duan Ye were both stunned.
In fact, Shen Niannian was absolutely right; she analyzed everyone very thoroughly.
because…
At that moment, Luo Qingyuan was on the phone with the old lady, but this time, no matter how much she pleaded and tried to entice her with benefits, the old lady refused to budge.
She said, "Qingyuan, Grandma is getting old and doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of you younger generation anymore. You should talk to your brother about it. Grandma has already told him..."
"Grandma really can't help with this."
Luo Qingyuan: "Grandma, can you bear to see me constantly being tormented by my mother? Please, just this once..."
The old lady said, "Huh? What did you say? The signal is bad here, let's talk again next time..."
"Beep beep beep..." A busy tone came from the other end of the phone.
