Chapter 202 Let’s Have a Frank Chat
Lu Chengan chased Chenghuan all the way and finally coaxed his sister, who was crying like a little cat, into agreeing to go home first and not throw a tantrum in the street.
When he got home, Lu Chengan was still angry.
But looking at his sister's red eyes, he couldn't bear to say anything harsh, so he had to vent all his anger on Huo Dongzhou.
He locked himself in the room, feeling more and more depressed the more he thought about it.
It felt like the cabbage I had carefully cared for for twenty years had not yet fully grown when it was targeted by a wild boar named Huo Dongzhou.
Moreover, this "wild boar" was brought back by me, who used to be my brother!
At dinner time, the atmosphere at home was a little subtle.
Lu Chenghuan lowered his head and ate silently, his eyes were a little swollen.
Lu Cheng'an had a dark face and chewed the food with great force, as if what was in his mouth was not braised pork, but Huo Dongzhou's meat.
Su Tang and Lu Xiao exchanged glances.
Lu Xiao learned about it from Su Tang when the brother and sister came back.
Of course he was angry too, but Su Tang said that they would eventually marry Huanhuan off.
They can't stay with Huanhuan for the rest of her life.
If Huanhuan herself doesn’t want to get married, that’s another matter.
But if Huanhuan herself has this intention, would they still try to break up the couple?
The only thing they can do is to help Huanhuan keep a good eye on it.
Help her avoid possible risks in marriage.
After hearing what his wife said, no matter how angry Lu Xiao was, he could only eat in silence and give the initiative to Su Tang.
Su Tang gently kicked Lu Xiao's foot, signaling him to be quiet.
She picked up a piece of food for her son and said casually, "Cheng'an, how long can you stay on vacation this time?"
"Not long."
Lu Chengan answered in a muffled voice.
"oh."
Su Tang nodded and said slowly, "This afternoon, Dongzhou called home."
Hearing this, Lu Chengan's chopsticks almost fell on the table.
Lu Chenghuan also raised his head suddenly.
Lu Xiao frowned: "Huo Dongzhou? Why did he call?"
He also had a bad impression of the guy who kidnapped his daughter.
But Su Tang is like a Five Finger Mountain pressing down on his head.
Su Tang said calmly, "Nothing serious. He just wanted to know if Huanhuan got home safely. He said he was sorry for upsetting you today."
She said this to Lu Chengan.
"The weasel pays New Year's greetings to the chicken."
Lu Chengan snorted, "Of course he should apologize! I was being polite by not breaking his legs!"
"Brother!" Lu Chenghuan couldn't help but speak up to defend him.
"How do you talk to your brother?"
Lu Xiao glared at his daughter, but he was obviously lacking in confidence because he also disliked Huo Dongzhou.
Su Tang put down her bowl and chopsticks, looked at her son, and said gently: "Cheng'an, Mom knows that you care about your sister and are afraid that she will suffer or be wronged. Mom and Dad understand your heart as a brother."
Lu Chengan's nose felt sore, his mother still understood him.
But Su Tang changed the subject: "But Huanhuan is already nineteen, a grown-up girl. It's normal for her to meet the opposite sex and develop feelings for them in college."
"You can't still treat her as a little doll that you need to keep tied to your belt all the time."
"Mom! That Huo Dongzhou..."
Lu Chengan hurried to refute.
Su Tang raised his hand to interrupt him: "I also watched Dongzhou grow up since he was a child."
"He has a clean family background and is capable, and yet he's already taking on a key role at such a young age."
"Besides being a few years older than your sister and more stable, I haven't heard of any bad reputation about him."
"Age is a problem! He's so cunning! Who knows what he's up to!"
Lu Cheng'an muttered, men understand men best, he felt that Huo Dongzhou's eyes when looking at Huanhuan were sticky.
"You can't judge people by appearances, nor can you rely entirely on your own assumptions."
Su Tang spoke slowly as he picked up some food for the father and son.
"You're sulking here, shouting and yelling, what's the point other than making your sister sad and alienating you two siblings?"
"What if, I mean what if, that Dongzhou kid is really a good person? Wouldn't you become the evil brother who ruined the marriage?"
Lu Chengan choked. What his mother said...seemed to make some sense?
But he still couldn't get over it in his heart!
Su Tang looked at her son's conflicted expression and finally revealed her purpose.
"Well, now that you're back, there's no point just listening to us. Seeing is believing."
"Tomorrow is Sunday. I'll make a decision and invite Dongzhou to have a simple meal at home."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became tense.
"What?!"
"no!"
Lu Chengan and Lu Xiao shouted almost at the same time.
Lu Chenghuan opened his eyes wide in surprise, and two red clouds instantly appeared on his face.
Mr. and Mrs. Lu, and Mr. and Mrs. Su had known about this for a long time, and they also wanted to take the opportunity to take a good look at their grandson-in-law.
If he is really reliable, then they can rest assured.
Having one more person love Huanhuan in the future is more important than anything else.
Su Tang made the final decision: "It's settled, Cheng'an, you go and make the call yourself to invite them."
"Remember, this is an invitation to dinner, not a challenge. You can take this opportunity to observe him honestly and honestly as Huanhuan's brother, and test his character."
"It's better than you sulking in the dark, or rushing out like you did today, right? It also shows that our Lu family is generous and respectable."
Lu Cheng'an was stunned for a long time, carefully thinking about what his mother said.
That seems to be the case...
He wanted to see what that kid Huo Dongzhou could do right under his nose.
If that kid dares to be frivolous or do something wrong, he will take action again, no, it will not be too late to attack him again.
Thinking of this, although Lu Chengan was still awkward, he finally agreed reluctantly: "...Okay, I understand."
The next afternoon, Huo Dongzhou appeared at the Lu family's door on time, carrying two net bags full of fruits, malted milk and snacks.
He changed into a neat Mao suit, combed his hair meticulously, and was so nervous that his palms were sweating.
This situation made his heart beat faster than the first time he carried out a secret mission.
The person who opened the door was Lu Chengan with a sullen face.
The two men looked at each other at the door, and it seemed as if hundreds of moves had already passed between them in a flash.
"Coming?"
Lu Chengan's tone was not very good.
"Here I come, Cheng'an."
Huo Dongzhou tried to remain calm and handed the gift over: "It's just a token of my appreciation."
"Humph, there's no shortage of these at home."
Lu Chengan said this but still took it.
After entering the house, Huo Dongzhou first respectfully greeted Lu Xiao, Su Tang, and the four elderly people.
Lu Xiao held the teacup and hummed as a response, but his eyes looked him up and down.
Su Tang was very kind. He smiled, asked him to sit down, and poured him some tea.
Lu Chenghuan hid in the kitchen to help, his little face flushed, and he would secretly glance outside from time to time.
The atmosphere throughout the dinner was very subtle.
"Huo Dongzhou, what exactly do you do at work now? I heard you're pretty free, so you're always running to the west side of the city."
Huo Dongzhou put down his chopsticks and answered seriously, "I'm in charge of some technical research projects, so I have more autonomy in my schedule. Going to see Huanhuan...was all during my break, so it definitely didn't affect my work."
His answer was flawless, and he also took the opportunity to explain that his seriousness about work and his attention to Huanhuan were separate.
He works to provide better security for his family, and he won't take it lightly.
"Oh, so what are your plans for the future? Are you planning to just stay at the company like this?"
