Chapter 824: Nervous Elders
"Ah, Ruochu is up."
With Su Ruochu's voice, everyone in the living room seemed to suddenly come alive.
Aunt smiled and called out, "Hurry and wash up, breakfast is ready."
Uncle gave his wife a stern look: "Lower your voice."
Aunt realized and quickly covered her mouth, then said softly: "Go wash up quickly."
Su Ruochu didn't quite understand and looked at her parents.
"Mom, Dad, what's wrong with you all? Why is no one talking?"
"It's nothing," Su Xuecheng smiled. "We saw you two were busy all day yesterday, didn't want to disturb your rest."
Su Ruochu couldn't help but laugh, "Is there really a need to be so dramatic?"
Lin Wanxiu quickly said, "Chen came from so far away, it's right to let him rest well."
Last night she tossed and turned unable to sleep, pulling her husband to discuss for hours.
If Chen Fan was just a big boss before, Lin Wanxiu was quite satisfied, feeling he was at least worthy of her daughter.
But now she suddenly learned that Chen Fan was actually a super-rich man worth 10 billion yuan.
This left Lin Wanxiu a bit dazed.
Amid the excitement, she also felt some nervousness.
This was no longer a question of whether he was worthy or not, but rather began to worry if her daughter could really hold onto Chen Fan?
The gap between them was simply too large.
After discussing with her husband for hours, Su Xuecheng finally couldn't take it anymore and casually said, "You don't need to worry, Chen Fan must really love your daughter."
Su Xuecheng gave a very straightforward reason, which was that Chen Fan had traveled all the way from Hainan to attend the memorial service without even being invited.
If he didn't have their daughter in his heart, if he didn't truly love her, how could he possibly do this for her?
Lin Wanxiu felt this made sense and finally felt a bit more at ease.
But when she woke up in the morning, Lin Wanxiu became nervous again.
Because she felt that even if Chen Fan liked her daughter now, they weren't married yet.
What about the future?
What if Chen Fan was surrounded by more and more beautiful women in the future and couldn't resist temptation?
He was still so young, how could young people resist the temptations of the colorful world?
The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, to the point that when Lin Wanxiu woke up in the morning, she found a blister on the corner of her mouth from stress.
She had already figured it out.
The only solution now was to quickly get her daughter to marry Chen Fan.
As long as she married into the Chen family, she would be a proper daughter-in-law.
And she could see that Chen Fan's parents really liked her daughter.
Moreover, Chen Fan was a filial son who always listened to his parents.
When her daughter married over, she should be filial to her in-laws. In the future, even if there were problems with Chen Fan, her daughter would have her in-laws to support her.
This was the solution Lin Wanxiu had come up with after thinking all morning.
Su Ruochu didn't know that everyone had already investigated Chen Fan's background, she just felt that everyone seemed a bit strange today.
Shaking her head, she went into the bathroom alone. When she came out after washing up, she found that everyone was still waiting in the living room.
"Why aren't you eating yet?"
"Hehe, we're not hungry. Ruochu, you eat first."
"We're waiting for Xiao Chen, he's a guest, it's not good if we eat first."
Ruochu glanced at her aunt, feeling that everyone's words seemed a bit odd today.
After hesitating for a moment, she turned and went into the bedroom.
Chen Fan was still sleeping on the bed. Su Ruochu gently pushed him.
"Chen Fan, Chen Fan, time to get up."
Chen Fan opened his eyes and smiled.
"Good morning, my princess."
Su Ruochu smiled slightly: "Hurry and get up, everyone's waiting for you to have breakfast."
"Hm?"
Chen Fan sat up in bed with a start.
"What time is it?"
"Almost 8 o'clock."
"Everyone hasn't had breakfast yet?"
"They said they're waiting to eat together with you." Su Ruochu shook her head: "I just feel like everyone's acting strange today."
Chen Fan smiled, got up and changed his clothes, then accompanied Su Ruochu out.
As soon as they came out, Uncle who was sitting in the living room stood up abruptly, then realized he had overreacted.
So he quickly smiled and said: "You're up. Hurry and wash up so we can eat."
Chen Fan smiled and nodded to greet everyone.
Su Ruochu said softly: "I've prepared a water cup and toothbrush for you in the bathroom."
Chen Fan scratched his head a bit embarrassed: "I accidentally overslept. Everyone please eat first, don't wait for me."
10 minutes later, Chen Fan sat down, and only then did everyone gather around the dining table.
Uncle smiled and explained: "Xiao Chen is from the North, he should like to eat rice, steamed buns, and fried dough sticks for breakfast. I went out with your dad this morning to buy some."
"We also bought some local breakfast specialties, you can try them all."
"Thank you, Uncle. I'm actually quite hungry."
Chen Fan's use of "Uncle" almost made Uncle float with joy, his face instantly beaming.
"Well then, don't stand on ceremony."
Chen Fan picked up a small steamed bun and took a bite.
"Mm, it tastes good."
Everyone finally relaxed, and Uncle smiled as he urged: "If you like it, eat more. How can young people start a day's work without a good breakfast?"
Chen Fan smiled and picked up a tea egg, very skillfully peeling off the shell and placing it on the plate in front of Su Ruochu.
Su Ruochu's cheeks flushed red as she said softly: "I can do it myself."
Chen Fan smiled: "I'm actually quite hungry, so I won't stand on ceremony then."
Seeing this scene, the elders exchanged glances and finally relaxed.
At least Chen Fan liked Ruochu in his heart, it wasn't just purely for fun.
It was quite awkward with everyone sitting together eating without talking.
Su Xuecheng hesitated for a moment but still took the lead in breaking the deadlock.
"Xiao Chen, do you have any plans for today? Do you want Ruochu to take you around? There are many tourist attractions and historical sites in Suzhou and Hangzhou."
Chen Fan: "Dad, I have something to do today and need to go out for a bit. I probably won't be back until the afternoon."
"Ah, I see. Do you need to prepare anything?"
"No need."
Seeing their awkwardness, Chen Fan had to explain: "I made an appointment with Mr. Ma to go to Hangzhou today to visit his company."
"Oh, oh..."
Su Xuecheng nodded subconsciously, only realizing after two seconds who the "Mr. Ma" Chen Fan mentioned actually was. He looked up in surprise, only to find that Uncle next to him had already opened his mouth in shock.
"Well... it takes at least 40 minutes to drive from here to downtown Hangzhou. Why don't you take my car?"
Uncle tentatively made a suggestion.
Chen Fan asked: "Uncle, don't you need the car today?"
"No, no, I'm not going anywhere today."
"Then thank you for the trouble."
"It's no trouble at all." Uncle immediately smiled and said: "But I don't drive a fancy car, I hope you don't mind."
Chen Fan smiled, "Having a car to drive is already good enough. When I first started my business, I always took taxis."
Seeing Chen Fan initiating conversation, everyone's nervousness decreased a bit.
Finally finishing breakfast, Chen Fan took the car keys and went downstairs, with Su Ruochu accompanying him.
Everyone stood on the balcony watching Chen Fan drive away. Soon after, Su Ruochu came back.
"Daughter, come here quickly."
Lin Wanxiu really couldn't hold back anymore and quickly waved her daughter over.
Seeing the four elders all sitting on the sofa surrounding her, Su Ruochu was a bit confused.
"What's wrong?"
"Is Chen Fan really going to visit Alibaba?"
"Mm-hmm. He told me about it yesterday." Su Ruochu nodded.
Lin Wanxiu quickly asked: "Why didn't you go with him?"
Su Ruochu: "He asked me to go with him yesterday, but I refused."
"You..."
The four elders were stunned, then looked exasperated.
"This girl really is..."
