Chapter 170 Father Chen nodded
Su Tang's words were like a string of cannonballs, with strict logic, reasonable feelings, and every sentence hit the point.
Mother Chen opened her mouth and her face turned red and white.
Father Chen's expression also became more solemn. He took off his glasses and rubbed his eyebrows tiredly.
In fact, he didn't have that many thoughts about his son's marriage.
As the saying goes, money can't buy my happiness.
If the son is willing, they as elders should not interfere anymore.
Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If you control them too much, you will suffer the consequences.
At this moment, Lu Xiao, who had been silent as a mountain, spoke.
His voice was calm, yet it carried the unquestionable pressure of someone who had been in a superior position for a long time.
"My Lu Xiao's sister."
Lu Xiao's gaze seemed to have substance, slowly sweeping over Chen's father and mother, and finally landing on Chen's mother's face.
"It's not someone else's turn to look down on me."
Just a few words, without any harsh words, but more powerful than any roar.
Lu Xiao has never been afraid of these things.
"Xinxin, let's go."
After saying this, the living room fell into dead silence.
Father Chen was silent for a long time before he sighed deeply: "You are right. Zheng is old now. It is his choice. As his parents, we..."
He glanced at his wife, but couldn't finish his words and just waved his hand.
“Forget it, forget it…”
However, letting it go does not mean accepting it.
"Reasonable? What's reasonable? I don't care!"
She stared at Chen Zhengnian intently, and then glared at Wang Xinxin fiercely.
She was even more unhappy after being criticized like this.
Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth.
"As long as I'm still breathing, this is absolutely unacceptable. Chen Zhengnian, if you dare to marry her, don't recognize me as your mother. Unless I die, otherwise, Wang Xinxin, don't even think about setting foot in the door of my Chen family! Never!"
Chen Zhengnian clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white. He looked at his mother with disappointment in his eyes. "Mom! Do you really have to say this?"
Wang Xinxin's face also looked very bad. She subconsciously grabbed the corner of Su Tang's clothes, and her fingertips trembled slightly.
Su Tang patted the back of her hand, giving her silent support, and looked coldly at the throwing a tantrum Chen's mother.
Lu Xiao frowned slightly, and the air pressure around him dropped a little.
Father Chen slammed the table and said in a deep voice, "Have you had enough of this trouble? Are you really going to let this family be in turmoil?"
His chest heaved, and he was obviously very angry.
"Zhengnian is my son, and I've seen Xinxin before. How is he unworthy of our family? It's time to change those outdated rules and prejudices of yours!"
When Chen's mother was yelled at by her husband, she felt aggrieved instantly, but she still refused to give in.
"Isn't it all for his own good? You all know what Wang Xinxin's family situation is like. What can she bring to Zhengnian? She will only be a burden to him in the future!"
"mom!"
Chen Zhengnian stepped forward and stood in front of Wang Xinxin with a firm tone.
"I don't need anyone to bring me anything, I just want Xinxin. I know what kind of person she is better than anyone else. Only when I'm with her do I feel that my life has purpose. If you really want to do good for me, please make us a couple."
He paused, his tone somewhat dissatisfied: "What you just said is too hurtful."
The living room fell silent again, with only the suppressed sobs of Chen's mother echoing.
Wang Xinxin looked at Chen Zhengnian who was standing in front of her, her eyes warmed up, and she reached out and gently grabbed the corner of his clothes.
Su Tang spoke at the right time, breaking the deadlock: "Auntie, matters of the heart are never measured by conditions. Chen Zhengnian and Xinxin truly love each other, and this love is more precious than anything else.
You may find it hard to accept now, but it’s their life, and as long as they are living well, what’s more important than that?”
Lu Xiao nodded lightly, agreeing with Su Tang's words.
He looked at Chen Zhengnian: "Have you thought it through?"
Chen Zhengnian nodded without hesitation: "I know very well."
"That's good."
Lu Xiao said calmly: "You should take care of your family affairs first."
After saying that, he glanced at Wang Xinxin and said, "Let's go back first."
Wang Xinxin looked at Chen Zhengnian, then at Chen's mother who was determined, and finally followed Lu Xiao and Su Tang out.
Chen Zhengnian wanted to follow, but was stopped by his father.
"Let them calm down first, and you stay here so we can have a good talk."
There was authority in Mr. Chen's voice.
Chen Zhengnian looked at Wang Xinxin's departing back and finally stopped, but he had already made a decision in his heart that no matter what, he would not give up Wang Xinxin.
Wang Xinxin followed Lu Xiao and Su Tang out of the Chen family's gate. The cold wind blew in her face, and she wrapped her coat tightly. The moisture in her eyes was blown away by the wind, making her feel a little dry.
Su Tang took her arm and said softly, "Don't take it personally. Aunt Chen just can't change her mind right now. You've seen Chen Zhengnian's attitude, he knows what's going on."
Wang Xinxin nodded, her voice nasal: "I know, but..."
She didn't finish her words, but sighed heavily.
Lu Xiao walked beside her, looked back at her, and softened his tone: "A child raised by the Lu family has not fallen to the point of having to rely on others to make a living. If Chen Zhengnian can't even handle this, he doesn't deserve to be by your side."
Although the words were harsh, they calmed Wang Xinxin's confused mood a little.
They were silent all the way in the car until they were almost home. Su Tang finally spoke: "Have a good rest tonight and don't let your mind wander. I'll come with you tomorrow?"
Wang Xinxin shook her head: "No, let them have a good chat. I...I want to be alone for a while."
After sending Wang Xinxin away, Su Tang looked at Lu Xiao: "I'm afraid it won't be that easy to pass Chen's mother's test."
Lu Xiao turned the steering wheel, his eyes darkening: "If Chen Zhengnian is confused, I don't mind helping him sober up."
On the other side, in the living room of the Chen family, Chen's mother stopped talking.
Father Chen was the first to break the silence and looked at Chen Zhengnian: "Are you serious about Xinxin?"
Chen Zhengnian didn't hesitate at all: "Dad, I'm serious, I want to marry her."
"Her family situation..."
Father Chen paused, as if weighing his words: "Your mother is worried about practical problems."
"Those aren't the issues."
Chen Zhengnian said firmly, "Xinxin and I are together, and I've never thought of relying on anyone. We live our own lives. It doesn't matter if we're rich or poor. As long as we're united, things will always be fine."
Mother Chen snorted coldly, "That's easy to say! When you really have to worry about food and clothing, you'll see if you can still say such things! I'm telling you, I don't agree!"
“That’s enough!”
Father Chen scolded him, "Do you think we can still arrange our child's marriage like we did before? Zhengnian has his own ideas and plans. As parents, we have to let go when it's time to do so."
He looked at Chen Zhengnian and slowed down his tone: "I know you are a child with your own ideas. Now that you have made up your mind, do it according to your heart. It's just..."
He glanced at his still furious wife and said, "Your mother still needs to be patient."
Chen Zhengnian felt warm in his heart and nodded: "I know, Dad, thank you."
