"Now you are one with it." The woman smiled again.
Han Lan felt a little scared, but looking at the woman's smiling face, she dared not question her.
She could only secretly resolve to eliminate Bai Qingzhi once she had dealt with her.
Before coming here, Han Lan had told her father that Xiao Yuan wanted to have dinner with her, so she received her father's instructions after she came out of the woman's residence.
We've arranged for dinner at your place that evening, and we've invited the best chef in City A to our home for a family dinner.
Han Lan was no longer feeling unwell and felt excited at the thought of having dinner with Xiao Yuan.
Full of anticipation, she called Xiao Yuan, but he didn't answer for a long time.
At this moment, Xiao Yuan irritably threw his phone aside and, while holding Bai Qingzhi, grumbled that he wanted to go on strike.
"Child, why don't I just have Han Lan arrested and taken abroad?" Xiao Yuan frowned, deep in thought.
"Do you really think Han Lan caused this?" Lou Xiaoxiao asked, sitting on the sofa with her eyes glued to the TV.
It instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Han Lan is just a piece of trash. The person behind him is ultimately after you." Lou Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Yuan and pointed her finger at him.
“With you.” Then he moved his finger to the other members of the Bai family.
Everyone simultaneously recalled the so-called new god that appeared when Bai Qingyu was kidnapped last time.
The two may be related.
"So, Han Lan is a medium, and we can't touch her for now. I can only rely on her to find the person behind her." Lou Xiaoxiao turned her attention back to the TV and continued watching the melodramatic family drama.
Since that was the case, Xiao Yuan's method was not going to work. Hearing the constant ringing of the phone, he could only reluctantly answer it.
Han Lan's lips curled up when she heard the other person's voice; she had already put herself in the role of Mrs. Xiao.
"Xiao Yuan, Dad said we'll eat at home tonight." Han Lan's tone was exceptionally affectionate.
Bai Qingzhi also pressed her ear to the phone to listen and unconsciously rolled her eyes.
Even though he felt a little nauseous, Xiao Yuan still agreed in a good-natured manner, while Han Lan on the other side was even more confident.
Bai Qingzhi didn't stand up until Xiao Yuan hung up the phone, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Her movements were quite awkward, and she slowly spoke under Xiao Yuan's puzzled gaze:
"Xiao Yuan, Dad said he's having dinner at home tonight, do you want to come?"
The voice was affected and artificial, which made the listener feel uncomfortable.
Everyone frowned deeply, their expressions towards Bai Qingzhi indescribable.
Only Xiao Yuan, having experienced something like Bai Qingzhi's situation once, remained remarkably calm.
He looked at her with a smile in his eyes, then shifted his gaze to Bai's father.
"Dad, Zhizhi said she wants to have dinner at home tonight, is that okay?"
The question left everyone except Bai's father stunned.
That's so shameless!
Having fully accepted Xiao Yuan after the previous incident involving the gift of the ornament, Bai's father gave him an appreciative look upon hearing his words, and then replied:
"Qingzhi has the final say."
No sooner had he finished speaking than he was slapped by Bai's mother.
A father who would sell his own daughter for a mere ornament is better off without.
Bai Qingzhi blushed bright red after Xiao Yuan pulled this stunt. She was just imitating Han Lan from before, but that wasn't what she meant at all!
Xiao Yuan clearly had no intention of letting her off the hook, and continued to press her with a smile:
"Zhizhi, Daddy has agreed, what do you think?"
Bai Qingzhi blushed and glared at him, then ran to Bai Qinghuan's side and snuggled up inside.
Seeing her charming and innocent appearance, everyone laughed, but fearing that Bai Qingzhi would be even more embarrassed, no one dared to laugh out loud.
However, their constantly trembling shoulders betrayed their true emotions.
Xiao Yuan sat at the Bai family's house until after 4 p.m. before reluctantly calling a driver to go to the Han family's house. To save face, he bought some things.
However, they were all unintentional gifts.
When Han's father learned that Xiao Yuan was coming, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
In his mind, Xiao Yuan's arrival meant that the cooperation between the two parties could continue, and his company's losses could soon be stopped.
Han's mother was also happy, but her happiness was different from Han's father's.
That day, her daughter came home and told her that she would soon win Xiao Yuan's heart. At first, she didn't believe it, but it wasn't until today, when Xiao Yuan took the initiative to come over for dinner, that she began to believe it a tiny bit.
The thought of Xiao Yuan becoming her son-in-law made Han's mother feel like she was dreaming.
From now on, her daughter will be Mrs. Xiao, and she will be Xiao Yuan's mother-in-law. When she goes out and is with her old friends, they will all respect her.
She couldn't help but laugh, and grabbed Han Lan to ask how things were going between them.
Han Lan even showed a shy expression, telling her mother not to worry.
The mother and daughter whispered to each other for a long time before parting ways in high spirits to make the arrangements. Mr. Han frowned as he watched the two of them acting mysteriously.
In his mind, his wife was an extremely vain person who was always willing to show off when she went out with friends, just because she said that her company was doing well recently.
But since they've been married for a long time, Mr. Han turned a blind eye, as long as nothing went wrong.
As for his daughter, she used to be alright, obedient and smart, but ever since she fell in love with Xiao Yuan, she's become a completely different person, hopelessly stupid.
The more Han's father looked at the two, the less reliable they seemed, so he ultimately decided it was better to explain things beforehand.
He called the two of them to his side and sternly told them that if they dared to cause trouble that night, all their expenses would be cut off.
Although she outwardly agreed, the mother and daughter exchanged a glance, but inwardly they didn't take it seriously.
Han Lan, seeing her father's serious expression, couldn't help but find it amusing.
I really look forward to seeing what kind of expression this serious father will have when he finds out he's about to marry into the Xiao family.
When Xiao Yuan arrived, it was already dark. Han's father and his family stood at the door to greet him, and bowed to shake hands with Xiao Yuan as he came down.
Today, Xiao Yuan was wearing a dark blue shirt with red cuffs that shimmered in the moonlight.
"Xiao Yuan..." Han Lan had dressed up specially before his arrival, with red lips and white teeth, coupled with a shy expression. If the other party was not Xiao Yuan, he would probably have fallen for her long ago.
Xiao Yuan forced a smile and nodded, which made Han Lan's eyes light up.
Han's mother was so excited that she grabbed Han's father's arm tightly.
Han's father was shocked by Xiao Yuan's reaction to Han Lan, but he remained rational and did not have any unrealistic expectations.
He glanced at his daughter with a meaningful look, then seemed to be deep in thought.
The meal had been prepared long ago, and Han's father offered Xiao Yuan the seat of honor, but Xiao Yuan refused.
He shouldn't have been sitting there, neither morally nor logically.
Moreover, he actually had a pretty good impression of Han's father. Although the man was somewhat snobbish, his intentions were all for the sake of his own company, and he was quite reasonable.
