After the meal was finished and the table was cleared, Xu Chuyun's offer to help wash the dishes was strongly rejected by Chen Lai's parents.

Instead, the person who was raped and slipped in was Gu Yan, another great grievance.

Xu Chuiyun once again found an opportunity and moved closer to Chen Lai little by little, but he didn't know what to say.

After calming down, Chen Lai decided to have a showdown with Xu Chuyun and make things clear directly.

"Xu Chuyun, actually we..."

She suddenly turned around to face Xu Chuiyun with a serious look on her face, which confused Xu Chuiyun.

"Actually, we don't get along~"

Chen Lai was only halfway through what he said when Xu Chuyun suddenly stood up. As if he remembered something, he stood up and went to pick up his laptop bag on the chair.

"do what?"

Chen Lai also stood up and watched Xu Chuiyun's next move.

He was very anxious. When he picked up his bag from the chair, he accidentally dragged the chair. When the chair legs rubbed against the smooth tile floor, they made a loud and harsh sound, which attracted the attention of the three people in the kitchen.

Xu Chuyun was sweating profusely, holding his backpack, came to Chen Lai, opened the zipper, and displayed it like a street stall.

Chen Lai looked intently at the various books he took out of his bag one by one, and was so shocked that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.

Excellent diplomas from prestigious foreign universities, gold and silver trophies from various international competitions, the English on which Chen Lai could barely understand, even certificates for outstanding employees, two bankbooks with keys to the house, car, and two gold bracelets given by his mother, all of them were dazzling.

Take it out.

"What are you doing?"

The corners of Chen Lai's mouth twitched twice. She didn't know what to do in this situation.

"This is all my belongings, and I came here with sincerity."

After emptying everything in his bag, Xu Chuyun wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Oh, don't feel any psychological pressure. I don't mean to force you. I just want to tell you that I will be responsible for you, really."

"I have just returned to China. I didn't get much from my previous scientific research projects abroad. However, the boss of our company thinks highly of me and signed a contract with me with an annual salary of one million. It will be increased in the future. Don't worry."

He finished speaking in one breath, fearing that something had happened to him, and looked at Chen Lai helplessly.

"Xu Chuyun, you have excellent conditions, but I'm not worthy..."

"..."

Xu Chuiyun's eyes quickly dimmed and he lowered his head, just like the poor fat man that Chen Lai saw on campus that was soaked with dirty water from a mop, which was unbearable.

"Oh, I didn't mean that, don't do this..."

Chen Lai softened his heart and comforted him. Xu Chuyun seemed to be resurrected in an instant.

"So, you promised me?"

"What did she promise you?"

Gu Yan couldn't stand listening anymore, so he came over menacingly with a wet dishwashing cloth. If he didn't stop him, with Chen Lai's character, he might really be taken advantage of by this thief.

"You have no chance."

He forcefully threw the scouring pad in his hand, which was still stained with a lot of detergent foam, onto the other party's as white as new shirt, and turned around to wrap his arms around Chen Lai's small body, declaring his sovereignty.

"She is my wife, the pregnant one."

"You, you guys?"

Xu Chuyun staggered back several steps, as if he had been hit hard, and looked at Chen Lai in disbelief.

But Chen Lai was not willing to lie to him.

"Xu Chuyun, I'm sorry, it's my dad who didn't understand the situation."

She bent down and lowered her head, sincerely apologizing to Xu Jiyun.

"sorry."

Xu Chuyun hugged his backpack and froze in place for a while. When he suddenly came to his senses, he laughed, feeling like a ridiculous clown.

How much he had been looking forward to this reunion after so many years. He had made all preparations, and just loudly and proudly told the girl who saved him from misery: I have the ability to come and marry you.

It seemed like God had played a big joke on him.

"You can take your things away. I'm really embarrassed today. Another day, I'll invite you to have a good meal outside the building and greet an old classmate like you."

old classmate?

It turns out that in her position, I am just a dispensable old classmate.

Xu Chuyun's heart felt a lot empty all of a sudden.

"well."

His brain was a little unable to move, and he barely maintained his demeanor, and began to awkwardly put the things he was proud to take out little by little, and then quickly pile them up and put them away.

"Let me help you."

Chen Lai reached out to help, but was rejected by Xu Chuyun's business community.

"no, I'm fine!"

"I can do it myself."

"I'll give it to you."

Chen Lai still felt very sorry and wanted to do something to make up for it.

Xu Chuiyun, however, had long since lost the flutter he had when he entered the door. He just wanted to evacuate quickly, waving his hands repeatedly.

"..."

"your things!"

After closing the door, Chen Lai looked at the various nutritional supplements and fruits placed on the wall and tried to chase him out, but was stopped by his father.

"Stop chasing."

"Xiao Xu is so sad."

He shook his head and sighed.

"I really don't understand how you, girl, can leave a good guy like Xiao Xu to find a guy like this~"

The father pointed at Chen Lai and Gu Yan who were standing by the door. He originally wanted to scold Gu Yan with unpleasant words, but because of his own cultivation, he held back the words.

"Dad, you made a mistake, I didn't say I wanted him."

Chen Lai folded his arms behind his back and glanced at Gu Yan disdainfully.

"I don't care about three-no products."

"Please explain clearly, why am I a three-no product?"

Gu Yan was indignant.

"Irresponsible, shameless and unreliable."

"..."

"So, Xiao Gu really can't come to our house and be our son-in-law."

Mother Chen was thoughtful.

"Mom, what are you thinking about, asking him to be your son-in-law? Can our family afford it? His father is not allowed to come to our house."

"Too."

"How about you tell Xiao Xu and see if he is willing? Our family doesn't want his money, as long as he can be a father to the child."

"Mom, do you hear what you are saying is human? Is it appropriate to bully an honest person?"

"Too."

Mother Chen curled her lips.

"Child, if you don't want to be beaten, just don't do it."

"You are old enough and have your own ideas. I have known for a long time that you are a child who has your own ideas."

Mother Chen pulled her daughter to sit on the sofa and looked at her stubborn daughter with heartache in her eyes.

"Remember, don't be brave, but don't be afraid. Remember, you still have us. We can help take care of you and your grandson."

"mom……"

At this moment, Chen Lai couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, and he snuggled into his mother's arms for a long time, just like he did when he was a child.

"Baby, you must be obedient and don't make mother work too hard, okay?"

Mother gently caressed Chen Lai's belly and whispered kindly and softly.

Gu Yan felt warm in his heart.

The yellowed memory replayed in his mind. His mother used to hug him so tenderly, sing songs, and call him by his baby name.
