Chapter 14: The Live-in Son-in-Law

Wu Fangzhi and her parents had just finished eating at Zhiweiguan Restaurant and were driving home.

Halfway there, Li Xiujuan, sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly asked her husband, "What do you think of that Manager Chen?"

"Manager Chen is really nice~" Wu Jian'an nodded, praising Chen Yuanzhou highly: "Xiao Feng showed me so many houses, but none of them were satisfactory. Manager Chen is much more professional. He even brings shoe covers when he shows houses."

"That's not what I was asking," Li Xiujuan glanced back at her daughter, seemingly casually. "I meant, what do you think about us taking him as our son-in-law?"

"Mom!" Wu Fangzhi jumped like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and shouted angrily, "What did you say?!"

"Hehe~" Li Xiujuan said with a suggestive smile, "Are you kidding me! You just asked someone how old they were, do you think I don't know what you mean? I'm your own mother!"

Wu Fangzhi's mental state collapsed at that moment!

Her parents had talked about finding a son-in-law to live with her family countless times before she returned to China, but since she was abroad at the time, it was naturally impossible to bring it up.

Now that she's back, her parents are naturally very excited!

Many girls in the village have children at the age of eighteen or nineteen, and many of them marry into the family; it has become a custom among those who have been relocated due to urban demolition in the suburbs.

For Chinese people, besides farming, another deeply ingrained belief is to carry on the family line!

Parents of the older generation who had daughters during the one-child policy era naturally hoped to have a grandson who would take their mother's surname.

For Wu Jian'an and Li Xiujuan, this wish was even greater than buying a house!

"Why are you looking so grim?" Li Xiujuan scolded with a laugh when she saw her daughter's dark expression. "Tell me yourself, do you have feelings for Manager Chen?"

Wu Fangzhi now regrets her own loose tongue; why did she have to ask that question?

Even she herself doesn't know what her mindset was at the time, and now she's being misunderstood. It's infuriating!

However, Li Xiujuan's outburst didn't stop there: "You said it yourself, you don't want what we chose, you want to choose for yourself, and we agree. Anyway, you have to bring it back before the New Year."

"I think Manager Chen is quite nice. He has a clean-cut look and is quite tall, I think he's about 1.8 meters? Our zodiac signs are also compatible. If you really like him, just take the initiative!"

Wu Fangzhi rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the top of her head: "Can you not be so sensitive? I just thought he looked younger than me, and I was just curious."

"Then why aren't you curious about other men?" Li Xiujuan shut her down with one sentence.

Wu Jian'an suddenly said, "Nannan, should we ask Xiaofeng about Manager Chen's situation?"

"If you have no objections, you can hurry up and tell him that the townhouse can be registered in both your names, and I'll also give him a car worth a million, or if he has any other requests..."

Wu Fangzhi felt her scalp tingle from his words: "Dad, that's enough! You're looking for a son-in-law, not buying one!"

Wu Jian'an retorted, "Well, people should always be reasonable! Since they're visiting our family, and the child wants to take our surname, we should be their grandparents. They definitely have to compensate us!"

"Stop!!!!!" Wu Fangzhi completely erupted, her scream echoing through the carriage.

"I only asked one question: why are you acting like you're getting your marriage certificate tomorrow?"

"We can get the marriage certificate tomorrow! But we need to have a medical check-up first to make sure we're healthy," Wu Jian'an said to himself.

Wu Fangzhi immediately shut up!

She knew that her parents' desire for a grandson was no less than Qin Shi Huang's desire for immortality!

But Chen Yuanzhou?

Hmm... if this is bound to happen, then it doesn't seem so unacceptable?

At least today, after looking at houses with him, I felt that he had a pretty good personality and was very considerate, unlike other men who are so ordinary yet so confident!

Wu Fangzhi! ! !

What the hell are you thinking?!

What kind of nonsense is this?!

Wu Fangzhi tried hard to stop her mind from wandering, but once the seed of doubt was planted, it could never be eradicated.

She's starting to doubt whether she really has feelings for Chen Yuanzhou...

"Tell me why, I only understand after I lose it; please don't cry, at least I still exist; tell me why, I'm unwilling but have to let go; say goodbye, wait for me to come back..."

The ringtone for "Making Love While Making Love" suddenly rang in the carriage, leaving Wu Fangzhi in a state of confusion!

Finally, I realized it was my dad's phone ringtone, and I immediately vowed to change it for him as soon as I got home...

Honestly, at your age, what are you listening to about having sex while doing it?

Wu Jian'an gripped the steering wheel with one hand, took out his phone, looked at it, and burst out laughing!

"Darling, Manager Chen is on the phone! Come answer it, come answer it!"

Without waiting for her daughter's reaction, she threw her phone into the back seat.

"Turn it on!" Li Xiujuan said hurriedly.

Wu Fangzhi was speechless at her parents' tendency to believe everything they heard, so she had no choice but to answer the phone and put it on speakerphone.

"Hello, Mr. Wu!"

"It's me, Wu Fangzhi. What's the matter?"

"Oh, right, I'm at the landlord's house right now, and I wanted to confirm the price with you one last time."

"Hmm?" Wu Fangzhi asked, "The landlord still doesn't agree to 350 million?"

Chen Yuanzhou: "No, after all, I received your service fee, so I wanted to help you lower the price as much as possible. That's why I talked to the landlord for a long time just now."

"I won't go into the details, but in short, the current price is 330 million. If you confirm that there are no problems, I'll sign the contract with the landlord!"

"You mean... 330 million? Not 350 million?"

"Yes, is this price okay?"

The family of three heard the news simultaneously through the loudspeaker and were all stunned for a moment.

Realizing what was happening, Wu Jian'an immediately shouted, "Manager Chen! Sign it! Sign it right now! No problem!"

"Yes, yes, yes~ Manager Chen, you're really amazing!" Li Xiujuan laughed, "You saved us another 20 yuan!"

Then, with a knowing look, she lowered her voice and said to her daughter, "Silly girl! You should ask him out to dinner~ to thank him!"

"..." Wu Fangzhi knew that if she didn't cooperate, she would probably never have peace again, so she could only say, "Manager Chen, we are very satisfied with this price, thank you so much!"

Are you free tomorrow? I'd like to treat you to a meal as a way of thanking you!

Chen Yuanzhou was unaware of the conversation between the family of three. Knowing he probably wouldn't have time for his upcoming plans, he replied, "Thank you for your kindness! But I'm quite busy right now. I appreciate the gesture, but I'll go sign the contract with the landlord first. Goodbye."

"Beep beep beep..."

Now it was Wu Fangzhi's turn to be stunned!

She never expected that her invitation to dinner would be rejected.

Usually, it's those guys who are all over me, practically begging to treat me to meals, but I might not even be willing to go, okay?

I'm giving you a chance now! How dare you refuse?

I'm so angry!

She was about to call back, but then she thought that Chen Yuanzhou might be negotiating with the landlord and that she would be disturbed, so she sent Chen Yuanzhou a text message using her own phone.

[Tomorrow night at 6 PM, the revolving restaurant on the top floor of Jiangcheng Building. Come or not, it's up to you! —Wu Fangzhi]
