Chen Father Chen Mother
Chen Ran didn't respond to Zhou Ting's words and focused on driving. He had no idea what kind of person could catch Zhou Ting's eye, let alone understand her taste.
As soon as she got out of the car, Zhou Ting was pulled by Chen Mu Xiaoqing who had been waiting at the door. Although Xiaoqing was nearly fifty years old, she took good care of herself and her facial features were delicate, with skin so fair that some young girls would be envious. "Little Ting, when will your parents come back? I also want to discuss your marriage with Chen Ran with them."
Zhou Ting slightly twitched the corner of her mouth. Almost every time Xiao Qing saw her, she would ask like this, "I don't know, they seem to have started traveling around the world again recently."
Zhou Ting's smile was sweet and beautiful, Xiao Qing couldn't find any flaws and believed it to be true. "Alright then, next time they come back I'll definitely have them meet me." Her tone had a somewhat regretful flavor to it.
"Alright, alright." Zhou Ting'an patted Xiao Qing's hand soothingly, and then the two of them ignored Chen Ran and entered the house together.
Chen Ran helplessly watched their backs, every time he brought Zhou Ting home, he would be ignored. He really couldn't understand who was his real mother, Chen Ran sighed and followed them in.
Chen Fu Chen Yu Zheng was leaning on the sofa reading a newspaper, Chen Ran and he had seven points of resemblance, but he had more mature charm than Chen Ran. He raised his head to see Xiao Qing carrying Zhou Ting in, just glanced at her and lowered his head again.
Xiao Qing saw Chen Yu's appearance and was somewhat displeased, snatching the newspaper from Chen Yu. "Your son's wife has arrived, and you're still sitting here reading the paper, how impolite!" Then she turned her head and smiled at Zhou Ting, saying: "I'll make some desserts for you later, okay?"
Zhou Ting smoothed out her stray hairs and smiled brightly, "Alright, I'll learn from Aunt too."
"Hey, no need to talk about studying, Xiaoting's craftsmanship is much better than mine. Let's ignore the two of them and go to the kitchen." Xiaoqing was delighted by Zhou Ting's words in her heart, why couldn't her son be a bit more sweet-tongued? If she had known earlier, she should have given birth to a daughter instead.
"Okay." Zhou Ting smiled sweetly and took Xiao Qing's arm, heading towards the kitchen. Gone was the fierce look she had when she was with Chen Ran, replaced by a gentle demeanor that made her look like a perfect wife.
Chen Ran came in and sat down on the sofa with Chen Yu, looking at Zhou Ting's appearance with a mixture of surprise and nonchalance. "Dad, didn't you say last time that you were going to take mom on a trip? Are you still going?"
Chen Yu put down the newspaper and raised his narrow, almond-shaped eyes, which were similar to Chen Ran's, and gazed at Chen Ran with a somewhat sinister look. "What? Did you do something wrong outside?"
"How is that possible, I just remembered. So, Dad, you're not going on a trip with Mom?" Chen Ran lowered his head, the fine hair on his forehead covering the ambiguous expression in his eyes. He knew that by saying this, his dad would definitely get anxious, after all, his mom had been waiting for a long time to go on this trip.
Chen Yu rubbed his temples and said, "Alright, what is it that you want to ask of me?"
Chen Ran curled up the corners of his mouth and leaned back on the sofa in the most comfortable position, "Still, Dad, you know me best. Did Mom really let you go traveling with her?"
Chen Yu let out a long sigh, and indeed nothing could be hidden from Chen Ran now. "Your mother wants to go find Zhou Ting's parents to discuss your marriage." As Chen Ran's father, he naturally saw that Chen Ran didn't like Zhou Ting, but Xiao Qing had been matchmaking, so he couldn't openly oppose it either.
"Dad, just pretend you don't know where Zhou Ting's parents are and take mom out to have some fun. She'll definitely forget everything." Chen Ran pulled out two plane tickets from his pocket and waved them in front of Chen Yu.
Chen Yu snatched the ticket from Chen Ran's hand, "I knew you wouldn't be so kind-hearted. Don't worry, I know you don't like Zhou Ting that much, and I won't let you delay her." He carefully put the ticket in his pocket, and continued to read the newspaper, preparing a surprise for Xiao Qing.
"Dad, you said your son is very poor." Chen Ran put his hands behind his head and looked at Chen Yu with a tilted head. He must not be his biological child, otherwise why would he always be disliked.
"Well, as Chen Yu's son, you're indeed a bit inferior." Chen Yu raised his head and looked at Chen Ran, giving his own evaluation of him.
Chen Ran was just about to speak when he saw his mother already carrying dishes and walking out with Zhou Ting, so he quickly ran over to help his mother. "Mom, why didn't you let Liu's mom help you?"
"Today, our family had dinner together, and I let Liu's mother go back first." Xiao Qing glanced at Chen Yu and said quietly. She always felt that something was off about Liu's mother and Chen Yu during this time, making her suspicious.
Chen Ran followed Xiao Qing's line of sight and glanced over, he couldn't help but want to laugh. His mom was suspecting his dad! He had seen the love his dad had for his mom with his own eyes, it was impossible for him to believe that his dad would betray his mom. It must be that his dad wanted to give his mom a surprise. "En, what needs my help?"
"You just sit on the couch and enjoy yourself with your dad, mind your own business and don't care about what I and Xiaoting are doing." Xiaoqing's words were clearly a veiled criticism, although they were directed at Chenran, her eyes were fixed on Chenyu.
Chen Yu naturally sensed Xiao Qing's gaze, and he looked down again. He thought to himself, why has Xiao Qing been speaking in a sarcastic tone lately? It seems she's not satisfied with some things he's done.
Chen Ran carefully avoided the minefield and quickly walked towards the kitchen, he would rather do something than be scolded by his mother.
On this side, Chen Ran and others were eating happily, while Su Qiao was alone at home watching TV bored. When Chen Ran didn't go to work, he didn't have to go either, although he didn't know if others were the same.
Watching TV, she was completely absorbed when the doorbell rang outside. Su Qiao's first reaction was that Chen Ran had returned, but thinking again, Chen Ran should be eating at this time and wouldn't come back yet. Getting up lazily, after seeing from the video that it was a stranger, Su Qiao hesitated for a moment.
"It's the president who asked me to bring you lunch, please open the door." The stout middle-aged man said into the video call, also raising the rich food in his hand.
Su Qiao was taken aback, then remembered that Chen Ran had told him earlier that someone would be delivering lunch. He slowly opened the door and took the food from the young man's hands, "Thank you."
The young man with a silly face touched the back of his head, feeling a bit embarrassed. He had thought that in the CEO's house it would definitely be a woman, but unexpectedly it was such a handsome man. No, not handsome, just very good-looking. "Nothing, should be."
Su Qiao looked at the young man's face with a puzzled expression, but didn't ask anything. "Do you want to come in and eat together?"
Upon hearing this, the young man's face turned even redder, and he hastily waved his hand, saying: "No need, I've already eaten. You go ahead and enter, I'll leave first."
"Well, I'm going in." Su Qiao smiled slightly, thinking that the young man was quite interesting. Men who could still blush so easily were rare nowadays.
