"When have I ever lied to you? She just called! I'm going to buy tickets right now!"
Chen Hua looked at Chu Xiaolan, who finally couldn't resist the temptation to see Xia Lan and nodded.
"go!"
Chu Xiaolan had never left Shenzhen and had never seen the world outside.
Xia Lan's invitation fulfilled Chu Xiaolan's dream.
If it weren't for Xia Lan, Chu Xiaolan wouldn't have had the courage to agree.
Chen Hua seized the opportunity and immediately dragged Chu Xiaolan to buy tickets to the capital.
Where are you going?
Chen Hao sat on the sofa and watched as his son, Chen Hua, was about to take his daughter-in-law out.
"Dad, we need to go to the capital."
Chen Hao raised an eyebrow, listened to his son's words, and looked at his daughter-in-law.
He knew that his daughter-in-law never liked crowded places. Going to the capital required taking a train. Could Chu Xiaolan manage that?
"Daughter-in-law, can you go? Did that brat Ahua force you again?"
“Tell Dad, and he’ll teach him a lesson.”
Chen Hao said earnestly to Chu Xiaolan.
"No, Dad, it's my choice to go! You...you mustn't hit him."
Chu Xiaolan looked at Chen Hao and quickly explained on Chen Hua's behalf.
"Dad, are you even my real father? How could you side with your daughter-in-law and try to hit me?"
Chen Hao's words made Chen Hua laugh, and Chen Hao gave a soft hum.
"You're such a liar, always bullying your daughter-in-law, and you still have the nerve to say that!"
Knowing that his son had prepared everything for the wedding, Chen Hao rolled his eyes at Chen Hua.
It's not like I don't know Chu Xiaolan's situation. How could she handle so many people? And yet she still wants everyone to know.
This is putting Chu Xiaolan in a difficult position!
"Dad! How dare you say that? If you hadn't invited these people over, how would they have had the chance to gossip about Xiaolan!"
Chen Hua gets angry whenever this is mentioned.
If Chen Hao hadn't invited these so-called relatives over, Chu Xiaolan wouldn't have been bullied.
Chen Hua felt like punching someone when this was mentioned.
If he hadn't come back early that day, Chu Xiaolan would have been bullied terribly.
"You brat, is this my fault?"
Chen Hao pursed his lips. Even though his wife had invited them, he didn't dare to say so and could only glare at Chen Hua.
"Just because it's my mother's fault doesn't mean it's your fault."
Chen Hua didn't care. He'd been a bully since he was a child, and he wouldn't stand for his wife being bullied.
"Alright, stop arguing..."
Chu Xiaolan didn't want Chen Hao and Chen Hua to argue, so she quickly tried to persuade them.
"Xiaolan, don't be afraid. Dad will take care of this for you. It's just that this kid is unreliable!"
Chen Hao gently comforted Chu Xiaolan, then turned to Chen Hua with a fierce expression.
"Honey, don't be afraid, I'll have Mom deal with him in a bit!"
Chen Hua smiled at Chu Xiaolan, then turned and ran into the kitchen.
"What?"
A furious roar came from the kitchen, startling Chen Hao.
He quickly got up, wanting to slip away.
"Chen Hao, explain yourself clearly. What do you mean by 'I invited them'? Aren't they all your cousins?"
"So you're going to pin this on me and then blame it on me? You just wait!"
Chen's mother ran out angrily. Chen Haoren had already run away, leaving only Chu Xiaolan, who looked at Chen's mother helplessly.
"mom……"
"Xiaolan, don't be afraid, Mom will take care of this for you! We won't associate with those people anymore!"
Chen's mother didn't like Chu Xiaolan very much at first, but after her son married her, she was heartbroken by Chu Xiaolan's sweet and gentle appearance.
Chen Hua has always been domineering, especially after Chu Xiaolan was completely taken advantage of by Chen Lan that day. Her weak appearance made Chen's mother feel terrible.
But she smiled sweetly and said she was fine.
This little girl looks exactly like the daughter Chen's mother had always hoped for.
"Thank you, Mom."
Chu Xiaolan looked at Chen's mother with her small eyes. Chen's mother hugged her and said happily.
"My Xiaolan is the best. You should hurry up and give me a granddaughter! I like a soft little granddaughter like you. It would sound so nice for her to call me grandma."
Chen's mother said to Chu Xiaolan that she was already looking forward to her granddaughter.
"I...I will try my best."
Chu Xiaolan blushed; it was the first time she had ever heard of someone wanting a granddaughter instead of a grandson.
Seeing that Chen's mother didn't seem to be lying, Chu Xiaolan felt a surge of joy.
"Yes, have a daughter, just like you!"
Chen Hua shared the same opinion as his mother.
"I don't need brats like me! I'm the only one who's rebellious."
Chen Hua himself was a rebellious son, so he naturally knew how much he angered his parents.
"You actually know you're the one who's annoying people?"
Chen's mother glanced at her son with amusement; he really did have self-awareness.
"How could I not know that!"
Chen Hua smiled smugly at his mother.
"Think about it, if I had a son who was as rebellious as me, wouldn't I be furious? That's why I don't want one, I want a daughter! A gentle daughter like Xiaolan."
Chen Hua already had a picture in his mind.
Little Chu Xiaolan hugged his leg and sweetly called him "Daddy".
"Ha, I'm afraid you'll have a rebellious daughter like you, or a soft-hearted son like Xiaolan!"
Chen's mother gave a soft snort.
"Hey, that works too! Anything like Xiaolan is fine."
Chen Hua smiled, echoing his mother's words.
"I didn't quite catch that. Where are you going?"
Chen's mother glanced at Chen Hua and raised an eyebrow to ask.
"Go to the capital."
Chen Hua said directly, and Chen's mother raised an eyebrow.
He glanced at Chu Xiaolan with concern.
"Do you know how many people are on the train, how many people are at the train station? Don't hurt Xiaolan, just go by yourself, don't mess with Xiaolan."
Chen's mother refused to let Chen Hua take Chu Xiaolan with him.
Although she knew Chen Hua would definitely not let Chu Xiaolan go alone.
"……mom."
Chu Xiaolan carefully tugged at Chen's mother's clothes.
"Xiaolan, don't be afraid, Mom will definitely stand up for you! This kid is trying to harm you again!"
Chen's mother patted Chu Xiaolan's hand to reassure her.
She definitely wouldn't let Chen Hua take her away.
"...Mom, it's me...it's what I wanted to do."
Chu Xiaolan whispered, looking pitifully at Chen's mother, hoping she wouldn't refuse.
"Xiao Lan, there are so many people at the train station, are you sure you can handle it?"
Chen's mother looked at Chu Xiaolan with concern, never expecting that it would be Chu Xiaolan who wanted to go on her own initiative.
But doesn't she have that problem? How can she take the train?
"Lanlan invited me, and I want to go! I can overcome that..."
Chu Xiaolan said firmly to Chen's mother.
"If that's the case, then go ahead! But be careful!"
Seeing that Chu Xiaolan was so determined, Chen's mother stopped trying to stop her. It was Chu Xiaolan's own decision, which was different from being dragged there by Chen Hua.
"Mom, why don't you say anything to her when she wants to go, but you scold me when I want to go?"
Chen Hua glared at his mother and let out a soft snort.
"You brat, it must be your idea to go again. Xiaolan is such a good girl, she wants to stay at home all the time, why would she want to go out!"
Having spent time with Chu Xiaolan recently, Chen's mother knows what kind of person Chu Xiaolan is.
