Chapter 327: This Son-in-law, Really Not Bad
Lin Wanxiu didn't seem embarrassed at all, and even glared at her husband discontentedly, blaming him for interrupting her questioning.
Su Xuecheng smiled and spoke, "Go to the kitchen and make some soup. When Chen Fan finishes drinking, let him have some soup to sober up."
Lin Wanxiu looked at her husband, feeling that she understood his intention.
She got up and went to the kitchen first, then came out and said, "There aren't enough ingredients to make soup, I'll go downstairs to buy some."
Chen Fan hurriedly stood up, "Auntie, no need to trouble yourself, these dishes are already very abundant."
Su Xuecheng waved his hand, "It's fine, let her go. Your aunt loves making soup the most."
Lin Wanxiu went out alone and went downstairs, not to the vegetable supermarket outside, but to another household in the same residential area.
That's right, it was Zhou Honghai's home.
She first chatted with Zhou Honghai's parents for a while, and then indirectly inquired about what their son was doing now.
The elderly couple didn't know where their son was working, only saying that he had found a job in Yunhai.
Lin Wanxiu had a rough idea in her mind, and then asked for Zhou Honghai's phone number, saying that her daughter was recently studying computer science, so she could ask Zhou Honghai for help if she had any questions.
After coming down from upstairs, Lin Wanxiu couldn't wait to call Zhou Honghai's phone number.
Half an hour later, Lin Wanxiu came back carrying a big bag of fruits and vegetables.
"Why did you buy so much?" Su Xuecheng was a little surprised.
"Well, it's not often that Chen Fan comes to our home, so I should make some delicious food for him."
Lin Wanxiu had a radiant smile on her face, "Chen Fan, don't eat too much now. Later, Auntie will make you some soup, and you must try Auntie's culinary skills."
Saying that, she excitedly carried the bag of vegetables towards the kitchen.
After entering the kitchen, she didn't forget to turn back and remind her husband, "Old Su, don't let Chen Fan drink too much alcohol. Why does a young person need to drink so much? It's harmful to health."
Su Xuecheng looked stunned, glancing at his daughter opposite, who also had an incredulous expression.
The two of them were completely puzzled, what's going on?
How did she seem like a different person after just going out for a bit?
This contrast before and after was way too big.
Su Ruochu looked at her dad, then got up and walked towards the kitchen.
"Mom, are you okay?"
"Huh? Why would I not be okay? I'm fine. Why did you come here instead of staying outside with Chen Fan?"
"I'll help you wash the vegetables..."
"Go, go, why are you causing trouble? Just go out and chat with Chen Fan."
Saying that, she directly drove her daughter out of the kitchen.
Su Ruochu was utterly confused, completely unable to understand what was going on with her mother.
Finally, Su Xuecheng took the opportunity when going to the bathroom to secretly come to the kitchen.
"What's wrong with you? Your change is way too drastic."
Lin Wanxiu looked at her husband mysteriously.
"I just went out and secretly called that kid Zhou Honghai."
Su Xuecheng frowned, "You asked him? What did he say?"
Lin Wanxiu glanced at the two young people chatting outside, and said in a low voice, "He said everything he said was true."
"Zhou Honghai is currently working under Chen Fan."
"Zhou Honghai spoke highly of Chen Fan and praised him a lot in an indirect way."
"He said Chen Fan is very capable and has an exceptional talent for business with unlimited potential for the future."
Su Xuecheng couldn't help but ask, "So what he said before was all true?"
Lin Wanxiu nodded excitedly, "It's true."
"That club thing..."
"Zhou Honghai told me the club was indeed sold for over 26 million yuan. And Zhou Honghai also told me that Chen Fan actually has an internet company too. Most importantly, his net worth..."
"Has already exceeded 100 million yuan."
Lin Wanxiu's tone was somewhat excited, "Zhou Honghai said Chen Fan might be the youngest billionaire in Yunhai, or even the entire province."
Su Xuecheng listened with a dazed expression.
"Billionaire..."
"Could it be true? I've worked so hard all these years and only managed to accumulate a few million in family assets, yet that's still less than what a young person earned in just a year or two of entrepreneurship?"
Lin Wanxiu didn't notice her husband's bitter smile and only replied excitedly, "Zhou Honghai had no reason to lie to me about this. What he said should be true."
"It's just that he mentioned Chen Fan started an internet company too, but why didn't Chen Fan bring it up earlier? Could he be deliberately hiding it from us?"
"No, I have to ask him about it later."
Su Xuecheng glared at his wife, "Don't be reckless."
"The reason he didn't mention it is because he's being low-key. He doesn't want us to think he's deliberately showing off."
"This kind of kid understands propriety and knows when to advance or retreat."
Then Su Xuecheng sighed, "I couldn't have imagined it."
"I originally thought this kid was very capable. But I didn't expect him to be even more capable than I thought."
"Such a young person is hard to come by."
Lin Wanxiu looked at her husband, "What are you mumbling about? Let me tell you, I'm already prepared. When the winter vacation ends, I'll drive our daughter to school and take the opportunity to visit Chen Fan's company."
Su Xuecheng was stunned, "You really want to go?"
Lin Wanxiu glared, "Of course I want to go. I have to see it with my own eyes before I can feel at ease handing our daughter over to him."
Su Xuecheng smiled, "Does this mean you agree to let them date?"
Lin Wanxiu rolled her eyes, "Nonsense. Of course I was against it before."
"But now, with Chen Fan's current conditions, he's qualified to match our daughter. I have no reason to oppose it."
Su Xuecheng shook his head helplessly, "You're too pragmatic."
"What do you know? When it comes to our daughter's major life event, I'm just keeping a close eye on it. What's wrong with that?"
"If Chen Fan is truly an outstanding talent, of course I support them dating. Otherwise, I can't let my daughter end up with just anyone in the future."
Su Xuecheng wanted to say more, but his wife directly pushed him out of the kitchen.
"Go, go, you don't understand anything. Get out of here and don't disturb me while I'm making soup."
For the rest of the time, Chen Fan fully experienced what is meant by "a world of difference."
Lin Wanxiu changed her previous attitude and became very caring and enthusiastic towards him.
The meal was a pleasurable experience for both the host and guest. If Chen Fan hadn't actively excused himself, Lin Wanxiu probably wouldn't have thought about asking him to leave.
When Su Xuecheng suggested that Chen Fan take the gift back with him, Chen Fan refused. Finally, Lin Wanxiu smiled and spoke,
"Since it's a token of your sincerity, we'll accept it."
"Chen Fan, this counts as you acknowledging our family. Feel free to come over and play often when you have time," Lin Wanxiu smiled and welcomed him.
Chen Fan smiled, "Auntie's cooking is so delicious, I'll definitely come and bother you often in the future."
"Haha, it's no bother, no bother. If you want to eat in the future, just let Ruochu know, and Auntie will prepare the dishes in advance."
"Dad, Mom, I'll walk Chen Fan out."
Su Ruochu took the initiative to offer to walk Chen Fan out. Lin Wanxiu originally wanted to say something, but Su Xuecheng smiled and nodded.
"Go ahead, but don't linger too long. Come back soon."
"Okay."
Seeing the two of them going downstairs, Lin Wanxiu couldn't help but look at her husband.
"Why did you let the kids go down? What if they don't come back after going out?"
Su Xuecheng smiled, "That won't happen. Chen Fan is a sensible person."
Lin Wanxiu muttered, "Girls should still be reserved, especially when dating. Don't be too proactive, otherwise the guy won't appreciate it. Only by keeping him craving for more can you firmly grasp the initiative."
Su Xuecheng looked speechless upon hearing this, "Don't mess around with your weird theories."
"Just let the two kids' relationship develop naturally from now on. Don't interfere."
Lin Wanxiu glared at her husband, twisted her waist, and went back inside.
"You don't know anything!"
Downstairs, Chen Fan looked at Su Ruochu with some puzzlement.
"What's wrong? You don't seem very happy?"
Su Ruochu pouted, "My mom... she's so embarrassing. I feel like I can't even face you."
Chen Fan smiled and took Su Ruochu's little hand.
"Don't say that. Your aunt cares about you."
"But she only agreed for us to date after hearing that you made a lot of money."
Su Ruochu felt a bit dejected, "It's like she's selling her daughter in a transaction. I don't like that."
However, Chen Fan joked with a smile, "I like it."
"You don't know how nervous I was before coming here, worried that I wouldn't be able to win over your parents."
"If I had known earlier that your aunt cared about that, why would I be low-key? I would have simply brought a sack of cash to show your future son-in-law's capability. So much simpler."
Su Ruochu blushed shyly and pinched Chen Fan's arm.
"You're talking nonsense again."
