Chapter 187 How come the idol I promoted became my daughter-in-law?
When Chu Ze returned to the room, Jiang Huiqin nudged Chu Mingtao and asked, "Do you think what Aze said could be true?"

She thought that her son was not an ordinary person. He made so much money by writing novels, so he must be a great writer.

A great writer and a big star are a perfect match, aren't they? Besides, they are both good-looking, and it's not like a toad wanting to eat swan meat.

It seems that it is not impossible for the two of them to be together.

"I told you it's impossible." Chu Mingtao was cracking melon seeds and shaking his head.

"Why not? Don't you think An Ruo and A Ze seem to be very close?" Jiang Huiqin thought of the gifts she gave last time and whispered, "Have you forgotten the jewelry and clothes that A Ze brought back last time? They were so expensive. They were all given to us by An Ruo."

"Isn't it normal for big stars to have money to give their friends something?"

"It's normal to give something as a gift to a friend, but don't you think it's a little strange to specially give such an expensive gift to a friend's parents?"

"There's something wrong. It shows that the other person has intentions." Chu Mingtao still said nonchalantly.

"Why do you feel like you don't want An Ruo to be your daughter-in-law?"

"Well, no way."

Jiang Huiqin glanced at her husband, and suddenly seemed to understand something, with a playful expression: "Hey, is it because you liked listening to my songs so much before, and you liked An Ruo because she was pretty, but now you hear that you are going to become my daughter-in-law, you are not happy?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I be interested in a little girl?" Chu Mingtao rolled his eyes and denied it.

"Then why can you tell me why it is impossible?"

"Haven't you seen how popular An Ruo is now? She's at the peak of her career and at the height of her popularity. Have you ever seen any star fall in love at this time? Even if she wants to, the company won't agree. How can you, an old woman, have no common sense at all?" Chu Mingtao pointed fingers at Jiang Huiqin with solid evidence.

"Hey, okay, you understand! Wait until Aze brings An Ruzhen back, and then I'll see what you say." Jiang Huiqin saw that Chu Mingtao was still giving her a lecture, so she kicked him in annoyance and got up to continue working.

……

It's New Year's Eve again.

There were firecrackers everywhere, laughter and joy, and the air was filled with the strong flavor of the New Year.

When night fell, the sky was dotted with colorful fireworks as bright as day. After the Chu Ze family finished their New Year's Eve dinner, they all squatted in front of the TV waiting for the Spring Festival Gala to start.

Although there was nothing interesting to see during the Spring Festival Gala, Xia Anruo received an invitation from the CCTV Spring Festival Gala program team this year. Before the New Year, Xia Anruo had already gone to Beijing for rehearsals several times.

So Chu Ze rarely had a little anticipation for the Spring Festival Gala.

The Spring Festival Gala of the central TV station is different from that of the local TV stations. The Spring Festival Gala of the local TV stations are mostly recorded in advance, while that of the central TV station is a real live broadcast and no mistakes are allowed, so there is a lot of pressure to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.

But no matter what, for any artist or singer, it is an honor enough to be able to perform on the Spring Festival Gala once, so no matter how much pressure there is, Xia Anruo obviously cannot refuse to participate.

Xia Anruo's performance at the Spring Festival Gala this time is a solo song "Blue and White Porcelain".

Singing a solo song on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala can be said to be the highest treatment given to a singer.

Looking at Xia Anruo wearing Hanfu and having an ethereal figure on the stage on the TV screen, the Chu Ze family in front of the screen had different thoughts.

Jiang Huiqin thought to herself: Could such a beautiful girl really be my daughter-in-law?
Chu Mingtao thought to himself: Even if I am stupid, crazy, or have Alzheimer's, I still don't believe that such a big star can fall in love with this bad boy of mine.

Two days later.

There was a knock on the door and Xia Anruo came in with a gift.

"Hello, uncle and aunt."

Looking at the beautiful Xia Anruo at the door, Chu Mingtao was petrified on the spot.

Ah Zhen, are you serious?
"You, hello."

Although Chu Ze had already greeted his family in advance, Jiang Huiqin was still a little unresponsive at this time and just greeted them subconsciously.

"Sister-in-law!" Chu Wanqing rushed over excitedly at the first moment.

"Qingqing, long time no see." Xia Anruo hugged Chu Wanqing and rubbed her little head.

"Are you really An Ruo?" Jiang Huiqin took a look at her, still a little unconvinced.

"It's me, aunt." Xia Anruo nodded with a smile, but the smile was a little unnatural.

It seems that Xia Anruo was also quite nervous when visiting for the first time.

Although she felt it was impolite to stare at someone all the time, Jiang Huiqin couldn't help but look at Xia Anruo's face.

She had never seen any celebrities in real life in her life, and she thought that the stars on TV looked so beautiful because of camera beautification and makeup.

But today I saw it in real life and realized...

Beautiful, really beautiful!

Not the kind that is dressed up.

As a woman, Jiang Huiqin could clearly see that Xia Anruo only had a little powder on her face and no heavy makeup. She had a naturally beautiful face.

The hibiscus comes out of the clear water and is carved naturally.

It turns out that there really are such beautiful women in this world.

Jiang Huiqin originally thought that the image on TV was pretty enough, but she didn't expect that the real person was even more beautiful.

This made Jiang Huiqin even more unbelievable: "You, are you really our Aze's girlfriend?"

Can Chu Ze really find her such a beautiful daughter-in-law?

Smoke is coming out of the ancestral grave.

"Yes, Auntie. I'm really sorry that I haven't had the chance to visit you. I can only bring some small gifts. These things are for your aunt, uncle and Qingqing. I don't know if you are satisfied or not." Xia Anruo nodded shyly when she heard this, then handed a lot of things to Jiang Huiqin with an apologetic look in her eyes.

Seeing this, Jiang Huiqin hurriedly reached out to take it: "Oh, you came here and brought something, Lao Chu, please help me take it..."

Halfway through her speech, she turned her head and looked...

What about people?

Jiang Huiqin looked around and found that Chu Mingtao, who was originally standing next to her, had disappeared without a trace.

Chu Wanqing also helped to look for it curiously, and went all the way to the balcony, where she saw Chu Mingtao holding the fence with his right hand, cigarette in his left hand, leaning against the wall, and looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

"Dad, what are you doing here?" Chu Wanqing blinked and asked in confusion.

"Don't make noise, I'm thinking." Chu Mingtao said.

"Thinking about what?" Chu Wanqing asked.

"Think about whether there is anything wrong with my old age story." Chu Mingtao put the cigarette between his lips and took a deep puff.

He smoked twenty cigarettes and still didn't figure it out...

How come the idol I promoted became my daughter-in-law?
Do you think this is the collapse of the idol’s image and character?
Chu Mingtao exhaled a long puff of cigarette, and Chu Wanqing looked at the intact cigarette butt...

You vomited loneliness.

"Dad, you haven't even lit your cigarette."

"Oh, where is my lighter?" Chu Mingtao touched his pocket.

"Why are you looking for a lighter? You don't smoke..." Chu Wanqing pouted and exposed him.

"Can't I smoke if I don't know how to smoke?" Chu Mingtao glared.

Can't he just be a middle-aged literary man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life?

"But your sister-in-law is here. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for you not to go and receive her now?" Chu Wanqing glanced at the living room and saw Xia Anruo had already entered.

Chu Mingtao put away his cigarette and was about to go back when he heard Chu Wanqing calling him. He frowned and reminded her, "Don't call me that. Why are you calling me sister-in-law when she's here for the first time?"

"What does it matter? I've been calling her that for a long time, and my sister-in-law has agreed to let me call her that a long time ago." Chu Wanqing put her hands on her hips.

"From what you said, you have known that your brother and An Ruo are in love for a long time?" Chu Mingtao raised his eyebrows and keenly understood the meaning of this sentence.

"Of course."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Chu Mingtao said angrily, and he even made a bet with that brat. This brat is trying to trick me!

"You didn't ask me, luelulu~" Chu Wanqing made a face at Chu Mingtao.

"..."

Back in the living room, Jiang Huiqin was warmly serving Xia Anruo a fruit plate. When she saw Chu Mingtao coming in, she narrowed her eyes and asked, "Where have you been?"

"Well... I went for a walk on the balcony." Chu Mingtao made up a lie.

Walking on the balcony is quite a lot of exercise.

"Uncle." Xia Anruo stood up and greeted Chu Mingtao when she saw him.

Chu Mingtao replied in a very reserved manner: "Hello, hello, Miss An Ruo..."

"Uncle, just call me Anruo." Xia Anruo interrupted Chu Mingtao in a hurry when she heard it.

Chu Mingtao also realized that this was the meeting with the parents, not the fan meeting...

As the boy’s parent, please be more cautious, more cautious.

Chu Mingtao coughed to calm himself down, sat on the sofa, and glanced at Chu Ze who was sitting next to Xia Anruo. His eyes were still complicated: "That... Anruo, you and this kid are really..."

Xia Anruo nodded: "Actually, Chu Ze and I have been together for quite a long time, but because of my identity and profession, it is not easy to make our relationship public, so I am hiding it from you for the time being. I hope uncle and auntie don't mind."

"It's okay, it's okay. I understand." Chu Mingtao expressed his understanding.

"I just don't quite understand what you like about this guy. He has nothing." He muttered again.

Chu Ze heard it with sharp ears and coughed to say: Comrade Chu had better put his identity straight.

You are a pig farmer, not a cabbage grower. You should be happy when your pigs eat up other people's cabbages.

Chu Mingtao said that he wanted to be happy, but he always felt like his own pigs were eating his own cabbages...

I really want to beat up the pig.

After they sat and chatted for a while, Chu Ze suddenly thought of something and said to Xia Anruo, "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot. Let me tell you, you don't know that my dad has a unique skill..."

"Unique skills? What unique skills?" Xia Anruo was stunned.

Chu Mingtao was also stunned.

How come he doesn't know what his special skills are?

Chu Ze stood up and brought back a broom, weighing it in his hand: "Have you seen this broom?"

"what happened?"

"My dad can eat three in one meal!"

Chu Mingtao: “?!”

Xia Anruo and Chu Wanqing looked at Chu Mingtao in shock.

Σ(д|||)
Our dad has this hobby?
Chu Mingtao's mouth twitched when he saw this.

Just in the previous chapter, it was said that as long as Chu Ze brought An Ruo to his house, Chu Mingtao would eat the broom, but in the next chapter, he came!
Isn't this FLAG recycled too quickly?
Chu Mingtao winked at Chu Ze: It's New Year's Day, give your father some face.

But it is obvious that Chu Ze rejected his moral kidnapping and threw you Rem... not a broom.

"Dad, give An Ru a performance." Chu Ze said in a teasing tone.

Come on, Taozi, give everyone a whole life!
"..."

Chu Mingtao had a blank expression on his face.

I'll show you a stick hammer!

The fist is hard!

He glanced at the broom in his hand, squeezed it to test its hardness, then looked up at Chu Ze. The two looked at each other in silence for three seconds. Chu Mingtao raised the broom:

"I'm going to show you the dog-beating stick technique right now."

Seeing this, Chu Ze ran away.

For a moment, the living room was in chaos. Then, two Beggar Gang comrades, one big and one small, named Chu, were punished by Jiang Huiqin's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, one slap each.

"This is An Ruo's first time coming to our house, what are you two making such a fuss about?!" Jiang Huiqin said angrily.

"Well, it was your son who caused it first." Chu Mingtao defended himself, covering his chest, obviously suffering internal injuries.

"Dad is unethical and doesn't keep his word." Chu Ze also rubbed his chest.

It’s okay, Xia Anruo’s palm power is still a little stronger.

"You guys still think you're right?" Jiang Huiqin was so angry, but Xia Anruo couldn't get angry with her watching, so she turned around and explained to Xia Anruo gently, "Anruo, don't mind it. This is just the way these two behave. Please sit down first. I'll go cook for you."

"Auntie, let me help you." Upon hearing this, Xia Anruo quickly stood up and volunteered.

"No, no, how can we let guests help in the kitchen?" Jiang Huiqin waved her hands, naturally refusing.

Xia Anruo insisted on helping: "It's okay, Auntie, you don't treat me as your own family if you say that."

"I'll come too. I'll help too." Chu Wanqing was also jumping and raising her hands.

Jiang Huiqin couldn't resist Xia Anruo's insistence, so she had to agree to let Xia Anruo go into the kitchen to help.

After entering the kitchen, Chu Wanqing's eyes widened as he watched Xia Anruo skillfully chopping vegetables on the chopping board. Her knife skills were like those of a master chef.

"Wow, sister-in-law, are you so good at knife skills?" she exclaimed.

Even Jiang Huiqin doesn't have such good knife skills.

"I practiced it when I lived alone." Xia Anruo explained with a smile, but the movement of cutting vegetables in her hands did not slow down at all.

"Then sister-in-law, your cooking must be delicious, right?" Chu Wanqing came over and said.

"It's okay. Your brother likes it very much anyway." Xia Anruo smiled and put the cut vegetables aside for later use.

Chu Wanqing pouted when she heard this: "I haven't tasted the dishes cooked by my sister-in-law yet. I really want to try her cooking skills."

"Okay, Qingqing, I'll make it for you now whatever you want to eat." Xia Anruo said lovingly.

Jiang Huiqin, who was washing vegetables, turned around and said, "Qingqing, stop messing around. It's unreasonable for An Ruo to cook for you. Are you the guest or is An Ruo the guest?"

"Auntie, it's okay. I like cooking. This is a good opportunity for you to taste my cooking skills." Xia Anruo said quickly.

"That won't work either. How can I ask you to cook for your first visit? No, no, no."

Jiang Huiqin firmly disagreed.

My son's girlfriend asked him to cook for her when she came to visit for the first time. This is not the right way to entertain guests.

In the end, it took Xia Anruo a lot of persuasion before Jiang Huiqin reluctantly agreed to let her make her specialty, braised fish.

Xia Anruo skillfully processed the fish, cut the onion, ginger and garlic, fried the sugar color, and put the ingredients into the pot in order. The whole process was smooth and Jiang Huiqin's eyes lit up.

I thought Xia Anruo was beautiful as a big star, but Jiang Huiqin was worried that she was the kind of person who didn't have to do housework and just wanted everything to be done for her.

If you are used to being treated like a star, it will be difficult to get along with others.

I didn't expect Xia Anruo to be so easy-going. She doesn't have any celebrity airs at all. And her cooking skills clearly show that she often cooks for herself. She is a real good wife and mother.

Aze is lucky, he has a very good vision.

She is a big star, beautiful, has a good personality, and can cook.

The more Jiang Huiqin thought about it, the happier she became. She couldn't stop smiling. She was more satisfied than ever with her future daughter-in-law.
