Moreover, having Yan Chi come over would put the Zhao family at ease after they meet him, and they wouldn't worry unnecessarily anymore: Yan Chi is a person who makes a very good impression on people, both inside and out.
Zhao's mother rushed forward to snatch Chu Nian's phone, and scolded helplessly, "You child, I told you not to call him over, why didn't you listen?"
But she was too late; the call had already been connected, and a very clear young man's voice rang out: "Hello, Zhuzhu?"
Chu Nian had raised her arm high to avoid Zhao's mother's hand reaching for the phone, but seeing that Zhao's mother dared not try again, she lowered the phone and turned on the speakerphone, replying, "Yes, it's me. Could you come to my house for a bit?"
"Sure," the man readily agreed, then asked, "Is something wrong?"
Chu Nian: "It's nothing, I just wanted to introduce you to my family."
"Oh, then...should I dress a little more formally?" Yan Chi's voice sounded somewhat nervous. "Also, since this is my first visit, I should bring a gift, right? What does your family like?"
Chu Nian clearly noticed a significant change in the way Zhao's parents were looking at her. She was puzzled. "I just asked you to come over, and you're all dressed up and brought a gift. What's the purpose?"
She quickly replied, "No need for that, just do whatever you like."
Yan Chi quickly said, "How can that be? I must show that I have enough respect for your family."
Chu Nian said urgently, "Just think of it as visiting a classmate's house, or just visiting a regular friend's house..."
“No,” Yan Chi refused quite decisively. “How can I treat your home like a regular friend’s house when I visit you for the first time? Alright, you don’t need to say anything more. I know what I’m doing.”
"What kind of sense do you have?" Chu Nian almost yelled.
Then Yan Chi asked again, "By the way, what time would be a good time for me to arrive at your house?"
Chu Nian was about to say, "Come over right away," when she heard Zhao's mother calmly say, "Tell him to come over for dinner. I'll call Zhenzhen and tell her we have guests tonight, so she can ask for leave and skip evening self-study. That way she can get home before seven, which is just in time for dinner."
Chu Nian stared at her as if she'd seen a ghost, about to say, "Weren't you just afraid he'd come to your house?" But then Yan Chi's voice came through the receiver: "Dinner time? Okay, I'll definitely arrive at your residence before seven o'clock sharp. Is that your aunt? Her voice is as young and pleasant as Zhu Zhu's."
Chu Nian stared at the phone receiver in horror: Yan Chi, what exactly is the meaning of this crazy move you made?
To be honest, just now, in order to dispel Mr. and Mrs. Zhao's concerns, she deliberately turned on the speakerphone on her phone so that they would have enough opportunities to understand and get close to Yan Chi, so that they would no longer be afraid of Yan Chi, and it would be easier for her to act in the future.
But she never expected things to turn out this way. Yan Chi and she were just business partners, so how did this whole thing turn out like a future son-in-law making his first visit to his future in-laws?
Zhao's mother, already flattered by Yan Chi's praise, chuckled and said, "Zhuzhu is my daughter, of course she looks just like me!"
Zhao's father, standing to the side, glared at her with a livid face.
Chu Nian quickly hung up the phone: she had clearly shot herself in the foot.
Father Zhao scolded Mother Zhao: "Didn't you disagree with him coming to our house? You gave in after he said only a few words?"
Zhao's mother said, "Judging from this young man's voice, he shouldn't be very old; and with such a pleasant voice, he probably isn't bad-looking either! Besides, his status as a big shot might be helpful to your business; moreover, he speaks politely and is very well-mannered..."
Zhao's father, his face pale with anger, roared, "He's a gangster boss! A gangster boss! The kind who takes people's lives at the drop of a hat!"
Voice, age, appearance—can these erase the truth that a mob boss committed murder? What's wrong with these women? They only rely on feelings when choosing a partner, without any rationality whatsoever? This is outrageous!
If Chu Nian knew that he was thinking of "finding a boyfriend" for her, she would probably cry out, "This is terrible!"
When Chu Nian left Zhao's parents' room, she felt a little dazed, with a sense of déjà vu, "Who am I? Where am I?"
However, once she returned to her room and closed the door, she forgot all about it. A pile of books were waiting for her to read, and a bunch of technical skills were waiting for her to master. She really didn't have time to think about anything else.
In the evening, Chu Nian's phone rang. After answering, Yan Chi's voice came through the receiver: "I'm at your door." Don't ask him how he knew the Zhao family's address. What kind of underworld boss wouldn't know something like that?
Chu Nian then lifted the curtains and looked outside. From there, she could see the entrance to the villa.
She discovered that, in addition to Yan Chi's car, there was also a car waiting to pick up Zhao Zhen parked at the entrance, indicating that the two had arrived around the same time.
Zhao Zhen was wondering what was wrong with her mother today. She suddenly said that guests were coming and asked her to skip evening self-study and come home for dinner. The family always placed great importance on the studies of the two sisters, and they were not allowed to take leave unless it was something very important.
Judging from this, this guest must be a very important guest.
Just as the car that was supposed to pick her up arrived at her doorstep, a luxury car worth tens of millions was parked there. A handsome young man in a suit stepped out. Zhao Zhen's eyes lit up, and her usually proud young heart fluttered wildly.
Seeing the man reach for the doorbell, she quickly got out of the car.
The young man turned his head and looked over. He was slightly surprised when he saw Zhao Zhen's face, but then he smiled politely and said, "This young lady must be Zhuzhu's older sister, Zhao Zhen."
Hearing him mention Zhao Zhu right away, and even call her "Zhu Zhu" so affectionately, Zhao Zhen felt uncomfortable, but she put on a sweet smile and said, "Yes, I am Zhao Zhen. And you are?"
Yan Chi smiled and said, "My name is Yan Chi. Zhu Zhu said she would introduce her family to me today, so I came."
What does that mean? Zhao Zhen was a little confused. Judging from Yan Chi's words, could it be that he was... Zhao Zhu's boyfriend? That's impossible, right? She had never heard of Zhao Zhu having a boyfriend, she only heard that she was being kept by a mafia boss.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen still smiled brightly, but said, "That's what I admire about Zhuzhu. Although she is still in school, she knows a lot of people in society. I don't know how she knows them."
The subtext of this statement is quite rich.
Yan Chi, still smiling, said, "Judging from Miss Zhao's tone, we people from society don't seem to please you."
Whether it was her imagination or not, Zhao Zhen felt there was a hint of coldness in Yan Chi's words. She could clearly hear the displeasure in his voice.
