As soon as he heard that they were talking about serious matters, Gao Xiaoxi immediately showed a pitiful expression.
"Brother-in-law, if I tell you, can you please not tell my cousin?"
Chen Fan nodded.
"Then we need to see what it is first."
"If it's a big deal, I can't make the decision. You know, your cousin is the head of our family now."
Gao Xiaoxi curled her lips and said, "My cousin is so happy."
"Stop talking nonsense. Let's get down to business."
Chen Fan stared at the other person and asked suspiciously, "Are you in love?"
Gao Xiaoxi was instantly frustrated, "How can that be possible?"
"I'm so busy all day long, how can I have time for a relationship?"
"Is there no one among my colleagues that I like?"
"The company has regulations prohibiting romantic relationships between colleagues. If discovered, one person must be transferred from their position."
Chen Fan nodded and said, "Oh, it seems that I was the one who made this rule."
"Actually... he's my brother!"
Gao Xiaoxi hesitated for a long time before finally telling the truth.
"Your brother?" Chen Fan was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
"Gao Xiaohu?"
"Yes, that's him."
"I remember he chose to go south with his girlfriend after graduation, didn't he?"
"It seems like I haven't heard from him in several years."
Gao Xiaoxi smiled bitterly and said, "This bastard ran off to the south, initially saying he was looking for a job to develop a relationship with his girlfriend... but in less than a year, his girlfriend broke up with him."
"It's okay to be in a relationship in college, but once you start working, which girl would want to continue renting a house with him?"
"His girlfriend fell in love with a manager with whom he had business dealings and ran away with him."
"My parents asked him to come back, but he refused to come back."
"It's like he was inspired. He said he would come back after he made a name for himself."
"In the past few years, I've only been back three times during the Chinese New Year."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "Actually, this is very normal and very realistic. After all, in reality, no woman is willing to suffer with you."
"Girls like this are a minority after all."
"What is your brother doing now?"
"He refused to come back, and I changed jobs over there several times. In the end, I was either unhappy with the work or I offended my boss and was fired."
"Anyway, I haven't heard that he has saved any money in the past few years. He even asked me to borrow money a while ago."
"Then he went to work as a security guard at a company. This guy, relying on his good looks and good figure, managed to win over his boss's daughter."
Chen Fan was stunned. This is quite interesting.
Gao Xiaoxi complained: "The key is that the woman is also completely devoted to him. The two of them got together and insisted on getting married."
"Of course her parents didn't want to, so she just moved out and lived with Gao Xiaohu."
"Crazy for love!" Chen Fan laughed, "It's great to be young."
Gao Xiaoxi rolled her eyes at Chen Fan and said, "Brother-in-law, you act so old-fashioned. You seem to be only in your twenties."
"So, what do you want from me?"
Gao Xiaoxi said depressedly, "They lived in a rented house and refused to give in. They found jobs and worked on their own. My brother even went to work on a construction site... and the girl got pregnant."
"The girl wanted to give birth to the child, so the two young people discussed getting married."
"Of course the parents don't agree with this. They even accused my brother of trafficking their daughter and are going to sue us!"
"Some time ago, my brother had no choice but to call me and tell me."
Chen Fan smiled and asked, "Then why are you looking for me? What can I do for you?"
Gao Xiaoxi explained carefully, "I told my parents about it, but they also disagreed with the marriage."
"The main reason is that there's a huge gap between us. My family is just an ordinary one, while his family runs a company. We're not a good match. My parents don't think it's appropriate."
"But that girl has decided on Xiao Hu and insists on marrying him..."
Gao Xiaoxi looked at Chen Fan pitifully.
"I really have no other choice. Xiaohu is really desperate and has come to me for help, but I can't make decisions for my parents at home."
"Brother-in-law, can you come out and help me?"
Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm not your parents, how can I help?"
"The girl's parents have arranged to meet with our family next week, saying they want to resolve the matter once and for all. In reality, they're just here to hold us accountable."
"My parents can't control my brother, brother-in-law. Can you act as our parent and speak up for my parents?"
Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This girl was just trying to use him as an excuse.
"Have you told your cousin about this?"
Gao Xiaoxi waved her hands repeatedly.
"We can't let her know. If my cousin knows, my parents will know too."
"I was thinking that when the time comes, you and I will go meet the other party together. At least we can't let Xiaohu go to jail."
"Brother-in-law, can you please help me?"
Chen Fan felt helpless. This girl thought things were too simple.
How could an outsider like me interfere in such family matters?
But looking at Gao Xiaoxi's pitiful look, I guess she really has no choice but to go, otherwise she wouldn't come to me for help.
It seems that this girl still cares about her younger brother.
Chen Fan didn't agree nor did he directly refuse.
"Let me think about it. I'll give you an answer then."
"Then brother-in-law, you must help me. You are the only one I can ask for help."
Seeing Gao Xiaoxi's nervous look, Chen Fan couldn't help but laugh.
"Then tell me first, what result do you expect?"
Gao Xiaoxi thought for a moment and said, "I know my brother well. He's not a bad person by nature. And I asked him on the phone. They are truly in love..."
"Of course, if it's really not feasible, then at least my brother shouldn't go to jail. It's not like my brother initiated that..."
After hearing what the other party said, Chen Fan had an idea in his mind.
"Okay. Let me think about it and tell you later."
"Brother-in-law, you must help me..."
…
After returning home and having dinner in the evening, Chen Fan told Su Ruochu about this matter.
"That's ridiculous!"
Su Ruochu became anxious when he heard this.
"Xiao Xi, this is not messing around."
Chen Fan is not a member of the Gao family, so it is inappropriate to ask him to come forward in any way.
Chen Fan smiled and consoled her, "It's nothing, actually. Xiaoxi is just desperate and is trying all sorts of treatments."
"Besides, how can I not be considered a relative? I am also their brother-in-law, okay?"
Su Ruochu corrected him, "Cousin-in-law."
"My cousin's husband is also my brother-in-law." Chen Fan asked with a smile, "I told you this because I wanted to ask you what you think."
Su Ruochu shook her head: "I don't know anything about this at the moment. I need to call my aunt and ask her about this matter and get things straight first."
Chen Fan asked, "What about me? Can I still help?"
Su Ruochu thought for a moment and said, "If there's no problem, then I can help. But if there's a big problem, then I definitely won't help."
"You really won't help?" Chen Fan said jokingly, "He's your cousin."
Su Ruochu glared at Chen Fan.
"What happened to my cousin? Can my cousin still be kissed by my husband?"
Chen Fan laughed.
"Student Su, I am very satisfied with your attitude."
Su Ruochu glared at Chen Fan coquettishly.
"You can still laugh."
