Chapter 617: My Parents Are Coming
After dinner, Chen Fan lay comfortably on the sofa watching TV.
Su Ruochu came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes, looking at Chen Fan with something on her mind.
"What's wrong?" Chen Fan asked curiously.
Su Ruochu seemed a bit embarrassed, "Just now when I went out to buy groceries, my mom suddenly called and said she wants to come."
"Your parents are coming?" Chen Fan was a bit surprised.
Su Ruochu quickly explained, "I'm not going home this National Day holiday, right? I originally told them they could come the day after tomorrow, but when I went down to buy groceries just now, my mom called me, and I mentioned that you arrived in Beijing today, and also..."
"Also told them about me buying you a house."
Su Ruochu looked a bit awkward: "My mom couldn't sit still and insisted on coming tomorrow."
Chen Fan smiled and gently pulled Su Ruochu into his arms.
"Is that all? That's great news. Parents coming to see their daughter, how nice."
Su Ruochu seemed a bit nervous: "You're not angry, are you?"
"Why would I be angry?"
"I told them about the house without asking for your permission first."
Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I told you, these houses are my gift to you. Even if you gave them away tomorrow, I'd have no right to question it."
Su Ruochu affectionately clung to Chen Fan's arm.
"I would never give them away. They're ours."
Chen Fan chuckled and patted her head.
"Not bad, not bad. You know to be on my side now."
Because his mother-in-law was coming, Chen Fan couldn't sleep in.
Early the next morning, he went with Su Ruochu to the airport, with Feng Pojun driving them.
After waiting at the airport for about half an hour, the plane finally landed.
Looking at the arriving passengers, Su Ruochu's sharp eyes quickly spotted her parents.
"Mom, Dad, over here!"
Lin Wanxiu saw her daughter and immediately waved excitedly.
When she saw Chen Fan standing beside her, also personally coming to pick them up, her smile became even brighter.
"Xiao Chen, why did you come too? With your leg, we said it would be fine for Ruochu to come alone."
As soon as they met, Lin Wanxiu said very politely.
Su Ruochu explained from the side: "I told him that, but he wouldn't agree. He insisted on coming to pick you up."
Chen Fan smiled, "You two are elders, it's proper etiquette for me to come and greet you."
"Oh my, we're all family now, no need to be so formal."
Lin Wanxiu joked, her gaze sweeping over Chen Fan.
Her daughter's boyfriend, whom she used to dislike, now looked pleasing to her eyes no matter how she looked at him.
Su Xuecheng also greeted Chen Fan with a smile.
"How's your leg recovering?"
"It's almost there. I should be able to remove the cast in about a month."
Su Xuecheng advised, "Make sure to heal completely, don't take it lightly. It would be troublesome if there are any after-effects."
"Haha, Ruochu says the same thing. I'll follow the doctor's orders when the time comes."
"That's right."
At this moment, Feng Pojun came over to take their suitcases.
Chen Fan smiled and explained: "This is my friend, he's helping me drive this time."
Su Xuecheng smiled and looked Feng Pojun over.
Although Chen Fan was being polite, it was clear that this should be Chen Fan's driver.
"Mom, Dad, let's get in the car and talk more at home."
Lin Wanxiu suddenly remembered something and pulled her daughter aside to ask.
"Did you two really buy a house?"
Su Ruochu nodded a bit shyly.
"Chen Fan bought it."
Chen Fan then explained with a smile: "I thought since Ruochu is studying in Beijing, buying a house would give us all a place to stay when either I or you come to visit her. It's not ideal to always stay in hotels."
"Besides, buying a house now is a good investment."
Lin Wanxiu quickly asked: "How much did you pay for the house? Did you buy it yourself? I hope you weren't scammed..."
Seeing his wife chattering on, Su Xuecheng quickly intervened.
"Alright. Let's get in the car first. We can discuss everything when we get back."
The group then got in the car, looking at the scenery outside the window as they drove.
Su Xuecheng remarked, "I came to Beijing once ten years ago. The changes in Beijing these few years are really tremendous."
Chen Fan, sitting in the front passenger seat, turned his head and said with a smile.
"Mom, Dad, if you like, Ruochu and I can take you around Beijing today, and maybe buy some souvenirs and such."
"This child, always knows what to say."
When they arrived at Dingfuzhuang West Village community and heard that the house was only a ten-minute walk from their daughter's school, Lin Wanxiu was even more satisfied.
"Xiao Chen, this child is so thoughtful."
Going upstairs, as soon as they entered the apartment, Lin Wanxiu toured the house inside and out.
"Not bad, not bad. Xiao Chen has good taste. This apartment faces south with windows on both sides, no need to worry about not getting enough sunlight. Very nice."
Feng Pojun brought the suitcases up, and Su Xuecheng invited him in to sit for a while.
Feng Pojun waved his hands repeatedly, but then Chen Fan spoke up with a smile.
"Old Feng, we're all family here, come in and have a drink of water."
Hearing the boss say this, Feng Pojun carefully entered the house, not daring to sit on the sofa, but perching on a small stool with his body stiff.
Su Xuecheng took the initiative to offer him a cigarette, which Feng Pojun accepted with both hands, seeming a bit overwhelmed by the honor.
Well, well.
This was a cigarette offered by the boss's future father-in-law.
In Feng Pojun's eyes, no matter how many women might be in the boss's life in the future, Su Ruochu was 100% the one he would marry.
Which meant that Su Ruochu would definitely be the future mistress of the Chen family.
And the always-smiling middle-aged man in front of him was the boss's future father-in-law.
To be personally offered a cigarette by the boss's father-in-law, what an honor.
When he went back to brag to the guys, they'd be shocked to death.
Although it was just an ordinary Yuxi cigarette, Feng Pojun couldn't bear to smoke it, carefully tucking it behind his ear.
After sitting for about ten minutes and finishing a cup of tea, Feng Pojun very tactfully stood up to take his leave.
"Boss, I have some things to attend to, I'll be going now."
Feng Pojun slipped out of the room, went downstairs and sat in the car, taking the cigarette from behind his ear and gently playing with it in his hand.
He wasn't a fool.
The reason Su Xuecheng was so polite to him was entirely because when the boss introduced him earlier, he said "friend" instead of "driver".
It was for this reason that Feng Pojun now had an extra cigarette in his hand and had been invited in for a cup of tea.
He was loyal enough to Chen Fan.
The kind of loyalty where a man would die for someone who truly understood him.
But Feng Pojun also understood clearly that his boss's abilities would definitely not be limited to his current achievements.
As the boss became more and more powerful, the people around him would only become stronger.
Especially in terms of security, more professional bodyguards would definitely be arranged to take charge.
He was getting older.
He had the advantage of having followed the boss early on and being sufficiently loyal.
However, as the boss became more and more powerful in the future, his own usefulness in the boss's eyes might become more and more marginalized.
So Feng Pojun suddenly thought of another way to consolidate his position in the boss's heart.
That was to start with Su Ruochu.
He knew Su Ruochu's position in the boss's heart, which others didn't know, and this was his advantage.
If from now on, he took the initiative to propose a complete plan to protect Su Ruochu.
It could both increase his impression points with the boss and leave a good impression on the future mistress.
Thinking of this, Feng Pojun looked down at the cigarette in his hand.
He already had a plan in mind.
