"What if I don't agree?"
Hearing these words, Su Ruochu, who was hiding at the kitchen door, changed her expression nervously and was about to rush out, but was held back by her mother's hand.
After Su Xuecheng finished speaking, he didn't say anything else, his gaze fixed on Chen Fan.
Chen Fan was silent for two seconds, then gave his answer.
"If you don't agree, then I'll wait until the day you do agree."
"I like Ruochu, and as long as she doesn't give up, no one in this life will be able to influence me from marrying her as my wife."
Chen Fan's words were modest, but the meaning was very clear.
No one could stop him.
Naturally, this included Ruochu's parents in front of him.
Hearing this, Su Xuecheng didn't get angry, but drank a sip of tea with an expressionless face, then sneered.
"So you're going to go against me."
Chen Fan showed a bitter smile.
"I hope to have your blessings instead."
Su Xuecheng stared at Chen Fan, and suddenly a smile appeared on his serious face.
"You've got quite some backbone."
After saying that, before Chen Fan could open his mouth, he laughed at himself again.
"Young people nowadays are indeed much braver than we were back then."
"If I had your backbone back then, maybe my father-in-law wouldn't have been able to bully me."
Hearing this, Chen Fan was stunned at first, then reacted, his face instantly full of joy.
"Uncle, thank you."
Su Xuecheng smiled faintly, "Don't be so happy just yet."
"I've said the ugly part up front."
"I only agree for you two to date, I haven't agreed for my daughter to marry you."
"As for the future, it will depend on your performance."
Chen Fan nodded excitedly, "I understand."
This time, Su Xuecheng took the initiative to pick up the teapot in front of him and pour Chen Fan a cup of tea.
"Xiao Chen, she's our only daughter."
"You have to understand that we as parents are not deliberately making things difficult for you."
"To be honest, the reason I agree for my daughter to date you is not because of your family background or how much money you're making now."
"Our Su family is not envious of anyone's wealth. Although I'm not very capable, I can still provide enough for my daughter's food and clothing."
"She's my only daughter, and my only hope is that she can live a happy life."
Su Xuecheng looked at Chen Fan.
"I nodded in agreement and decided to give you a chance because your performance just now convinced me."
"I think you're an outstanding young man, and I'm optimistic about your future development. After all, who doesn't hope that their daughter can find a capable man in the future?"
"Can you understand?"
Chen Fan quickly nodded with a smile.
"I completely understand."
Su Xuecheng nodded, then suddenly looked towards the kitchen.
"Aren't the fruits washed yet?"
"Y-yes, they are." Su Ruochu called out excitedly, then brought out the fruit plate and walked out.
She shyly glanced at Chen Fan first, then looked at her father opposite.
"Dad, thank you."
Su Xuecheng chuckled, "You little girl."
"If I didn't agree today, you probably wouldn't talk to your dad ever again, right?"
"Ah, daughters grow up so fast."
Su Ruochu immediately blushed.
"Dad, what are you saying?"
Su Xuecheng laughed heartily, then looked at his wife beside him.
"Dear, do we have any more dishes? Prepare a few small dishes, let Xiao Chen join us for lunch at home."
These words were a very clear signal.
It meant that Su Xuecheng had truly accepted Chen Fan.
Lin Wanxiu glanced at her husband, looking as if she wanted to say something but held back.
However, in the end, she didn't say anything or get angry, but turned and walked towards the kitchen.
Su Xuecheng smiled at his wife, then looked at his daughter sitting beside Chen Fan and peeling an apple for him.
"You need to understand your mother, she means well for you too."
Su Ruochu blushed silently, clearly still angry at her mother.
Su Xuecheng looked at Chen Fan again.
"Xiao Chen, are your parents in good health?"
Chen Fan: "They're both in good health."
"Do you have any hobbies? Do you smoke?"
Su Xuecheng took out a pack of Huanghelou cigarettes from under the tea table.
Chen Fan smiled and waved his hand.
"I dare not lie to you, uncle. I do smoke occasionally, but I'm not addicted."
Su Xuecheng smiled and put the cigarette box aside.
"It's better not to smoke, it's not good for your health. But in the business world, there are many social occasions, so how can one completely avoid smoking?"
"By the way, you can drink alcohol, right?"
Chen Fan: "I drink a little when dining with friends occasionally. But I don't drink alcohol when I'm alone."
"Then you can join me for a couple drinks at lunch today."
Su Xuecheng smiled at his daughter.
"You go help your mom cook. I'll chat with Xiao Chen for a bit."
Su Ruochu handed the peeled apple to Chen Fan, then happily went to the kitchen.
Chen Fan held the apple, feeling awkward.
Su Xuecheng joked, "You've grown so big, but you've never peeled an apple for your dad before."
Hearing this, Chen Fan felt even more awkward.
While the two chatted, the mother and daughter cooked six dishes and set the table.
Lin Wanxiu glared at her husband, who was chatting animatedly with Chen Fan in the living room, and called out impatiently, "It's time to eat."
Then she muttered softly, "Just talking about irrelevant things, not asking anything important."
Su Ruochu couldn't help but speak up, "Mom, what exactly do you want to ask?"
"What do I want to ask? Of course, I want to ask if this kid is telling the truth or not? He says he opened a club, so he opened a club? He says he made over 10 million yuan, so he made that much?"
Su Ruochu pouted, "You still don't believe Chen Fan!"
Lin Wanxiu glanced at her daughter, "I only believe what I see with my own eyes."
The family gathered around the dining table, and Su Xuecheng smiled and took out a bottle of liquor.
"Xiao Chen, join me for a drink today."
Chen Fan promptly stood up and took the bottle.
"Since uncle has spoken, I dare not disobey."
He then poured a full cup for Su Xuecheng.
"Xiao Chen, do you have any hobbies?"
Chen Fan shook his head, "Well... not really."
Su Xuecheng casually asked, "I remember you said you and my daughter chose the same major in university. So how did you become so knowledgeable about the internet?"
Chen Fan finished pouring the drinks and sat down, explaining with a smile,
"It's like this. After the college entrance exam ended, during the summer vacation, I enrolled in a computer class to specifically study computers."
Su Ruochu chimed in, "It was actually me who helped Chen Fan find that computer school."
"It was the computer school that Brother Zhou Honghai used to run."
"Oh?" Su Xuecheng seemed a bit surprised.
"You mean that Zhou Honghai from our neighborhood? I remember his computer school closed down, didn't it?"
Su Ruochu wanted to brag about Chen Fan in front of her parents, so she subconsciously blurted out, "Yes, it closed down. And now Brother Honghai is actually working for Chen Fan."
"Huh?"
Now, Su Xuecheng and his wife were interested.
"Zhou Honghai is working for you?"
Chen Fan nodded awkwardly.
"Yes. He's the manager of my internet cafe now."
Lin Wanxiu's eyes flickered, as if she had an idea.
All she needed to do was ask Zhou Honghai, and she would know whether Chen Fan was telling the truth or not.
Su Xuecheng raised his glass. "Cheers."
Chen Fan hurriedly picked up his glass and lightly clinked it with the other.
"Heh heh, let's eat."
"Xiao Chen, you said you studied computers during the summer vacation. Did you plan to start your own business back then?"
Seeing her husband kept asking irrelevant and random questions, Lin Wanxiu couldn't help but interrupt the topic directly.
"Xiao Chen, you just said... you also opened a club? What kind of club is it?"
Chen Fan quickly put down his chopsticks.
"Auntie, it's like this. My club includes a haunted house experience hall, a shooting range, a tennis court, a yoga studio... several different types."
"But I've sold that club already."
Lin Wanxiu was stunned, "Sold it? Why? Was the business not good?"
"It's not that. There was a small incident at the time, so I just sold the club."
Lin Wanxiu glanced at her husband, then asked, "But your club was only open for less than two years, right? Doesn't that mean you lost a lot of money?"
