Chapter 638: Chapter 638 Mother-in-law’s Heart
Xu Dalong, which is ngyao’s uncle’s ho.
Chu Zhongtian dialed a number. After explaining the situation, Xu Dalong exclaid, "What? Urging that guy Ye Fan to get engaged to ngyao, such a big event, why am I just hearing about this now?"
"Don’t get all worked up. This was just confird, and I’m telling you now, aren’t I?" Chu Zhongtian spoke patiently.
"At such an important mont, I have to be there. Wait for , I’ll be right there." Xu Dalong sounded very urgent.
"No, don’t be in such a rush. I have sothing to ask you." Chu Zhongtian quickly said, fearing that Xu Dalong would hang up and act imdiately.
Indeed, it was fortunate that Chu Zhongtian understood Xu Dalong’s character, or the call would have already ended and he would have begun taking action.
"How can I not be anxious? As the uncle, I have to be anxious." Xu Dalong said casually, "What’s the matter? Speak quickly."
"Where is your sister?" Chu Zhongtian patiently inquired, "Your sister said sothing urgent ca up and she went to her mother’s ho."
"Sister didn’t co ho." Xu Dalong affird. He hadn’t even seen a shadow of Xu Li, so how could Xu Li have gone to her mother’s ho?
He was full of confusion and said, "What’s up with my sister? How can she drop the ball at such an important ti?"
Xu Dalong began to complain about Xu Li.
"Fine, not going to her mother’s ho, where has she gone to hide now?" Chu Zhongtian’s heart sank.
"Enough with the nonsense, urge my sister to co back ho quickly. Such an important event of urging ngyao and Ye Fan to get engaged, and this significant elder is not present, that’s hardly acceptable." Throwing this line, Xu Dalong started moving.
After preparing briefly, he coincidentally encountered Xu Li on his way out.
"Sister, what are you up to?" Xu Dalong stared.
"What do you an, what am I up to? Showing an attitude in front of your sister, where are your manners?" Xu Li admonished.
Xu Li had been wandering halfway, and only then did she leisurely arrive at her mother’s ho.
Otherwise, she would have reached there much earlier.
Actually, on her way, she hesitated for a long ti. Leaving ho with a la excuse saying sothing urgent ca up was hard to justify, but she couldn’t bring herself to face Ye Fan. Yet, she wanted to personally witness the engagent of her daughter and Ye Fan. Driven by such a contradictory mindset, she was utterly uncomfortable and tornted.
Not to ntion, her husband and father-in-law were still at ho. Leaving like this, no matter how you twist it, it was her fault.
But due to her pride, she couldn’t help but act this way.
Being soone who was about to beco Ye Fan’s mother-in-law, she was uniquely avoiding her future son-in-law.
"Sister," Xu Dalong called out loudly, seriously emphasizing, "Urging Ye Fan and ngyao to get engaged soon. At such an important ti, you made an excuse to co to your mother’s ho. What urgent matter do you have?"
"Urgent matter? Urgent my ass!" Xu Li couldn’t help but quietly curse in her heart.
She was thinking one step at a ti, never expected Xu Dalong to find out so quickly.
She couldn’t just casually find an excuse to fob him off anymore, she had to put away all of her little sches.
"I personally called to urge my daughter and Ye Fan to get engaged and ask them to co ho. What do you an by saying I made an excuse to co to my mother’s ho? I was considering that Ye Fan and my daughter would need so ti to get ho, so I personally ca to notify you of this joyous news. You don’t appreciate your sister’s good intentions and instead bla . Had I known, I wouldn’t have told you." Xu Li found a grand excuse, shifting all the bla onto Xu Dalong, casting herself in the role of a well-aning great figure.
"Sister, I was wrong, let’s hurry up and go." Xu Dalong admitted his mistake.
And so, Xu Li had just arrived at Xu Dalong’s house and had to silently follow Xu Dalong back ho.
Xu Li felt very apprehensive inside.
On the way, looking at his troubled sister, Xu Dalong asked puzzled, "Sister, you seem to have sothing on your mind?"
"What could be on my mind? I’m thinking about how to persuade Ye Fan and ngyao to get engaged." Xu Li naturally wouldn’t ntion her embarrassnt facing Ye Fan. She could only say that.
"Sister, for your daughter’s future, you’ve worried yourself sick. As her uncle, I didn’t pay much attention to ngyao’s major life events. Compared to you, I feel really ashad." Xu Dalong sighed.
"Of course, ngyao is my biological daughter, not yours. Naturally, you don’t care." Xu Li said smugly.
"Sister, I don’t like hearing this. As her uncle, I actually do care about my niece’s lifelong matters, okay? Especially since Ye Fan, that kid, being with ngyao is definitely a match made in heaven." Xu Dalong said.
Xu Li and Xu Dalong talked as they hurried ho.
...
At ho, Ye Fan, Chu Erzhu, and Chu Zhongtian sat together.
ngyao and Biyao were busy brewing tea.
The group drank tea and chatted about trivial topics, and no one brought up the engagent.
Chu Erzhu and Chu Zhongtian wanted to ntion it, but hadn’t opened their mouths, fearing Ye Fan and ngyao would make excuses in front of them. So they thought it would be best not to ntion the engagent until Xu Li and Xu Dalong returned ho.
Chu Zhongtian was waiting for his wife and Xu Dalong to co ho.
Then the family could have a warm al at the table, drink a few cups, and discuss serious matters afterward.
The younger generation, Ye Fan, ngyao, and Biyao, were well aware of what the elders were thinking, but no one said it out loud. If Chu Erzhu and Chu Zhongtian knew that Ye Fan and ngyao had already privately decided on the engagent, then Chu Erzhu and Chu Zhongtian wouldn’t be expectantly waiting for the happy event to occur.
Especially Chu Erzhu, although he calculated all worldly matters and had great influence in Huaxia, he couldn’t predict this, because he couldn’t understand why the Terminator would do sothing so ordinary and mundane.
Sotis, the simpler things beco more incomprehensible to soone like Chu Erzhu.
Soon, half an hour passed.
Chu Erzhu looked at Ye Fan and said, "Shall we go to the study and have a chat?"
"Sure," Ye Fan agreed without hesitation.
Just like the last ti they t and ntioned having a private talk, now, the opportunity had finally co.
"What is it that you can’t say in front of us and have to go to the study? Why make it so mysterious?" Chu Zhongtian complained.
He was indeed complaining a lot. Normally, Chu Erzhu’s absence was sothing he was used to, but dragging Ye Fan to the study for a private conversation, what’s up with that?
He imdiately thought it must be to interrogate Ye Fan.
Chu Erzhu’s line of work gave him reasons to suspect.
Therefore, he was particularly critical of his father.
"Dad, leave it be. Let Grandpa and Ye Fan have a private chat." ngyao said affectionately.
