Now all we can do is pray for her and say nice things to her. Even if we manage to get away with it, we can't really get away with it. Her father can't bear to say anything to her.
An Shuyi walked in, looked at her parents sitting in the living room, and said with a flattering expression, "Mom and Dad, you're still awake? I'm sorry, I was having a gathering with friends and came back late."
"Don't be angry. Although I drank a lot, I'm not drunk. And Hua Hua is here. She didn't drink much, so she'll be fine. We've already called Yu Bai to pick her up."
"I didn't know you would be back tonight, otherwise I would have come back earlier to have dinner with you. But it was you who agreed to let us go out, Dad. Even though I didn't take the two of them with me, it wasn't my fault."
Seeing her dazed look, An's father knew that although she wasn't drunk, she was close. He turned to look at Hua Hua, who seemed to have really not drunk much.
“An Shushu, if you come back this late again, I’ll cancel all your cards and confiscate your car keys. Don’t think you can buy a car just because you have money in your warehouse. I’ll make you hand it all over.”
“It’s okay for girls to go out, but they need someone to protect them. And you drank so much alcohol, are you crazy? Don’t you know it’s bad for your health? I agree to let you go out, but I didn’t say it would be this late.”
This girl is completely unrestrained with Hua Hua around. If someone weren't keeping her in check, she could fly away.
"I understand. Next time I go out, I'll definitely bring someone with me and won't come back so late. Besides, it's not late now, it's only nine o'clock..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xia Hua reminded her from the side, "It's already past eleven o'clock."
Looks like I really drank a bit too much; I forgot to check the time.
An Shuyi turned to look at her, "Is it so late? Okay, it's my fault. I won't stay so late next time, I'll definitely come back earlier, okay?"
She didn't want to stay there and apologize; she just wanted to go to sleep.
Mom tugged at Dad before saying, "That's enough. Remember to be obedient from now on. Hua Hua, help her upstairs to sleep."
"Okay, Auntie!" Xia Hua went over and helped the person upstairs.
Seeing them return to their room, Xiao Yubai went over and said, "Uncle and Aunt, we'll go back first and come to the company to find you tomorrow morning."
An's father said, "Don't go back tonight, just stay in the guest room. Sit down, I want to talk to you about something."
"Okay, Uncle." The two obediently sat down, and An Shucheng also came over and sat down to the side.
He continued after they sat down, "You two will definitely be seen at the bar tonight. For the sake of their reputation, I'm going to pick a date for you to get engaged. That way, after your older brother gets married, you can get married."
"I originally wanted you two to spend more time together, but I think you won't let them down, so let's get engaged first."
Their daughter doesn't want to be gossiped about. Although they are now of lower status, he doesn't care, and the family is not short of money.
Before Xiao Yubai and the other person could speak, An Shucheng said, "Dad, why are we letting them get married after my eldest brother gets married? What about me?"
What, is he not human? Why are you treating him differently?
An's father turned to look at him and said, "Do you have a girlfriend? If not, Nan will do too. Your older brother doesn't get married because of his work and doesn't meet many girls."
"But he already has a girlfriend now, while you, I haven't seen one in all these years. I'm not trying to discourage you, but at least bring one back, and they definitely won't say anything then."
"Huahua and Shushu, they traveled to ancient times and brought back boyfriends. But you, with so many girls in the company and on the street every day, you haven't brought back a single one. If you had brought back even a girl from the south, I wouldn't have said anything."
He now has doubts about his son's sexual orientation. He even wondered if he was impotent, but after observing him for a long time, he dispelled his doubts.
An Shucheng said helplessly, "Dad, do you have to be so discouraging? My sexual orientation is perfectly normal. I have a girl I like, but it's not happening yet."
"When I catch up with him, I'll bring him back to show you. Also, don't look at me with those weird eyes, it's really embarrassing."
My parents don't know what's going on. Just because he hasn't found a girlfriend, they observe him every day, making his life miserable, and they can't say anything.
An's mother looked at him in surprise, "What? You don't like Nan? That's really scary. I had doubts for a long time. It's good that you don't. Since you haven't won her over yet, let's wait until you have."
"If you didn't succeed, that's another story. After all, there are many outstanding men in this world, and you are just one of them. Maybe the girl doesn't even like you. Who told you to spend all your time with a bunch of men?"
His son is very good-looking, even better than his eldest son. He often goes out drinking and singing with friends every day, and he doesn't have a single female friend, which is why they are suspicious.
If any of his friends were women, they wouldn't have acted this way.
An Shucheng nodded, "Okay, we'll talk about this later. Let's talk about the two of them. An engagement is fine. Mom and Dad will find someone to pick an auspicious day tomorrow, the closest one. I'll be in charge of the hotel."
"I'll send you both pictures of the engagement rings tomorrow. Just tell me what style you like, and you don't need to worry about anything else. I'll take care of it."
Xiao Yubai nodded, "Okay, thank you, Uncle and Aunt, and Second Brother. Is there anything else we need to do?"
Is this engagement the same as a marriage proposal? If so, shouldn't gifts be prepared?
“No need. Here, all you need to prepare for an engagement is a ring. The rest of the betrothal gifts need to be prepared at the time of the wedding,” An Shucheng said.
The way they get engaged here is quite different from that in ancient times. In ancient times, a matchmaker would first propose marriage, which was considered an engagement. Then, there would be betrothal, asking the name, auspicious date selection, presenting gifts, and setting the wedding date. This whole process would take a long time.
An's mother said from the side, "It's not as complicated here as in ancient times. Besides, you don't have any relatives here. There will only be guests from our side, so the engagement will be very simple."
"I'll teach you how to do it then. As for the rest, it's not difficult to prepare. Your second brother will handle it."
Xiao Yubai and Cheng Yumo nodded, planning to check their phones again before going to bed, just to be more prepared.
Dad said, "Since you have no problems, I'll start preparing tomorrow. I'll let you know when I've chosen a good day. It's so late, go and rest. The room you came in is the one that's been cleaned."
The two nodded and got up to go back to their room.
An Shuyi was helped to her room by Xia Hua. After quickly taking a shower, she went to bed and fell asleep. She had no idea that while she was fast asleep, the engagement had already been arranged.
I woke up with a terrible headache this morning. I took a shower in the bathroom before slowly opening the door and going downstairs. "Good morning, Hua Hua!"
