With him talking to the caller and calling him grandfather as a chuckle ca from him as well, Chu Hua approached her daughter quickly, pinching her thigh as if she was embarrassed, surprising her children with the gesture.
"Mama! Why did you—"
"Shi Lian, you silly girl!"
Chu Hua whispered in a scolding tone, her face having a blush as she expressed her embarrassnt.
"How could you not tell that you are dating the grandson of Mr. Chen? His grandfather practically owns almost all of the businesses in Country S!"
With that being said, even Wang Lei and Shi Lian couldn't mask their surprise, already understanding why they can't find any clues about him, already knowing why he has a black card.
'Zhang Ren is… the grandson of Country S' legendary business man, the Chen Clan?!'
Shi Lian is obviously shocked as well! With Zhang Ren continuing to talk to his grandfather over the phone, Wang Lei spoke his opinions aloud, Chu Hua and Shi Lian listening to him.
"In Country S, it's as if every place is owned by him so when you visit the country, you could see Mr. Chen's face everywhere—but his family is a complete mystery."
"However, I've heard from my friend in Country S who has them as partners, is that Mr. Chen is doting to his grandson and that his identity is unknown… now I understand why he is living here and is being lowkey!"
With Chu Hua and Wang Lei talking about Zhang Ren and his family, Shi Lian couldn't help but arch a brow at her mother, rembering that both of them are doing this act so she can stop the blind dates.
"So… are you stopping the blind dates now?" Shi Lian asked, Chu Hua, scoffing.
"Of course!"
With a sigh coming from Shi Lian, what her mother had said next, however, made her widen her eyes, Wang Lei, chuckling with what they have heard.
"Why would I set you up when you got soone who's beyond the profiles I've seen!? Oh, Shi Lian, don't be a fool now—you have to further make him fall for you! Make sure you stay with him until you secure yourself an engagent and marriage! Do you understand?"
"Wha—mama!"
With Wang Lei snickering as Chu Hua smiled at Zhang Ren using her phone, Shi Lian looked at her older brother, already complaining.
"Help !"
"What do you want to do? I already helped you but turns out that this man is the real and better deal!"
Shi Lian narrowed her eyes at her brother.
"At this rate, mother will keep bothering him and may ask him to visit anyti!"
Wang Lei shrugged, "Then tell her after a few months that both of you broke up!"
"Are you crazy!? She would set up on blind dates again!"
"Well, I don't know what you're supposed to do now. We have to see what happens next."
"Ugh!"
With them whispering to each other, Chu Hua furrowed her brows, wondering what they're talking about.
"What's up with you two, Wang Lei, Shi Lian? Is there sothing that I need to know?"
"Nothing!"
Shi Lian imdiately replied, smiling at Chu Hua.
"Brother is just teasing with how I found soone so great and I haven't told him much about him. Right?"
With Shi Lian elbowing Wang Lei, he nodded, supporting his little sister.
"Yes. I told her to never let him go since he is better than what mother has been looking for."
With what he said that ca out as a tease to his little sister, Shi Lian rolled her eyes at him, Zhang Ren, now putting down the phone.
As he approached the three of them again, Wang Lei and Chu Hua smiled at him, Shi Lian, looking at him with surprise and curiosity present in his eyes.
"I'm sorry for taking a bit long—I didn't expect my grandfather to call. I only texted him that I am going to visit my girlfriend's place and he got curious about it—already wanting to know which family."
As Zhang Ren scratched the back of his head, Chu Hua giggled and shook her head, replying to what he said.
"Oh, don't worry, Zhang Ren! I apologize instead for my behavior back then. It's just that Shi Lian has never dated anyone and then I was curious why she suddenly started dating without telling who!"
With Shi Lian narrowing her eyes at their mother for suddenly changing her attitude, Zhang Ren got Shi Lian's hand, surprising her with the gesture that he did as his fingers locked with hers.
Seeing how this Mr. Chen's grandchild is holding hands with his little sister, Wang Lei couldn't help but feel a bit protective, his smile slowly disappearing from his face as he further observed the boy.
"It's alright. I understand the shock as well. My grandfather was the sa—which is why he imdiately called the place when I only gave him the address of where I was going. I'm sorry. He must have investigated your family quicker than I thought. I will have a word with him."
"Oh, you don't have to worry!" Chu Hua said with a giggle coming from her. "You can search us anyti you want—we're a good family anyway, not hiding anything bad~!"
"Mama!"
With Wang Lei and Shi Lian scolding their mother, Zhang Ren chuckled, reassuring the two that there is nothing to worry about.
"Don't worry, Shi Lian, Mr. Wang Lei. Our family won't do such a thing in the future—I assure you. I wouldn't want that as well."
With a smile coming to his face as he never let go of Shi Lian's hand, he then cocked his head to the side, already asking where they will be having dinner.
"Umm… I'm sorry if I might be sounding rude, but we are to have dinner in your wonderful ho, Mrs. Zhao, yes?"
"Oh, yes, yes!" Chu Hua said, already walking ahead as she clung her arm with Wang Lei's. "Follow us! We'll go straight to the dining room!"
As they walked on ahead while Zhang Ren and Shi Lian followed them, Zhang Ren gave her a wink, Shi Lian, blinking her eyes a few tis as a question kept repeating in her mind.
'Zhang Ren… who are you?"
