Chapter 194 Father-in-law, please listen to my explanation!

May 17th.

Xia Anruo drove Chu Ze to her big villa.

Because today is Xia Anruo's birthday, Wang Yandan specifically asked Xia Anruo to go back this year.

Xia Anruo herself didn’t really like celebrating her birthday, but she couldn’t refuse her mother’s kind gesture.

"Do we have to go to your house?" In the car, Chu Ze seemed a little reluctant.

"What else?" Xia Anruo asked while driving.

"I think it would be great if we just celebrated my birthday in the apartment. It would be so romantic just to be alone."

"Do you think I wanted to go back? It was my mom who insisted that we go back."

Chu Ze had no choice but to obey his mother-in-law's call, but he was still a little scared about going to Xia Anruo's house, especially about Xia Jianjun. The last time he went there, he felt that if Xia Anruo hadn't protected him, he would have been sunk into Tokyo Bay by Xia Jianjun.

They quickly parked the car at the door of the villa, and Xia Anruo pulled Chu Ze in.

"Xiao Chu is here."

As soon as she entered the door, Wang Yandan greeted Chu Ze kindly.

"Hello, Auntie." Chu Ze also replied obediently.

"Please sit down first, the meal will be ready soon." Wang Yandan smiled and led Chu Ze to the living room.

As soon as they saw Chu Ze and Xia Anruo coming, everyone in the living room turned to look.

"Is this Xiao Chu?" Xia Guoqiang, who was sitting on the sofa on the left, looked at Chu Ze and asked.

"Uh……"

Chu Ze looked at several unfamiliar faces and didn't know what to address them.

"This is my second uncle Xia Guoqiang, next to him is my second aunt Zhou Ping, and the other two are my second uncle's son, my cousin Xia Hao, and his girlfriend Chen Yun." Xia Anruo whispered to Chu Ze.

"Oh, hello, Uncle and Aunt, I'm Chu Ze." After hearing the introduction, Chu Ze quickly greeted them.

"I've wanted to meet you for a long time. I've been curious about who our Ruoruo would like for a long time." Xia Guoqiang nodded.

"Oh, Ruoruo has really good taste. Xiao Chu is indeed very handsome." Zhou Ping also took a close look at Chu Ze's appearance and praised him.

"Thank you for the compliment, Second Aunt." Chu Ze felt a little embarrassed by the compliment.

Chen Yun was also observing curiously from the side. She had heard Xia Hao say that An Ru had a boyfriend before, and she was curious about who the boyfriend of the big star An Ru was.

Now it seems ordinary and a little disappointing.

I originally thought it would definitely be some male celebrity or something like that.

There should be no scandals about An Ruo on the internet right now, and fans probably don’t know that their idol has actually been taken for a long time.

If this news gets out, I wonder how many male fans will be furious.

"Xiao Chu is here, sit down."

Xia Jianjun looked at Chu Ze and pointed to the empty seat on the sofa on the other side.

His tone was still so calm that it was difficult to figure out his attitude.

Even though this was his second time, Chu Ze was still very reserved, especially when facing Xia Jianjun. The natural pressure from his father-in-law's identity was enough to make Chu Ze sweat profusely with just a glance.

The Dou Di is so terrifying.

Fortunately, he has Xia Tiandi to support him, and with his own third level of fighting power, he can at least fight on equal terms in terms of momentum.

Just thinking about it...

"Hey, Ruoruo, where did you put the bottle of champagne you brought back last Chinese New Year?" Wang Yandan suddenly asked.

"Isn't it placed upstairs?" Xia Anruo asked, turning around.

"I can't find it. Can you help me find it?"

"Oh."

Xia Anruo went upstairs to find champagne, leaving Chu Ze standing there alone...

Xia Jianjun: →_→

Chu Ze: "..."

No, don't go.

Iforuo, iforuo!
Emperor Xia Tian, ​​you have been the sole ruler for eternity, what should I do?
How can I live without you?!
"Xiao Chu, please sit down." Xia Jianjun said again.

"Ahem, okay."

Chu Ze saw Xia Jianjun on one side, Xia Guoqiang and Xia Yuqin on the other side all looking at him, so he could only bite the bullet and sit on the sofa.

Being surrounded by big guys, I don’t know what to do.

I'm just a little Karami. Can I find a crack in the ground to crawl into now?
After Chu Ze sat down, he looked at Xia Jianjun and just laughed dryly. He didn't know how to start the conversation or what to talk about. How about asking about his health first?
Fortunately, Xia Jianjun spoke first: "How is Xiaochu managing the company now?"

"Still learning, still learning." Chu Ze said modestly.

"I heard that you are now planning to expand your company's business into the film and television industry?" Xia Jianjun seemed to be very concerned about Chuze's company.

"In the past, the company has focused on singers. I thought actors could also be trained, in the arts and sports... No, singers and actors can both do well." Facing Xia Jianjun, Chu Ze's tone lacked confidence.

It feels like having a thesis defense with my supervisor.

Xia Guoqiang was very supportive: "Oh, young man, you are great. This is a good idea. As an entertainment company, we need to involve all areas of the entertainment industry. Only in this way can we become big."

"You've only been in charge of the company for a few months now, and you're thinking about training actors and investing in TV dramas before you've even managed the singers. Aren't you afraid of messing it up?" Xia Jianjun ignored Xia Guoqiang's words and continued to ask.

"I……"

Before Chu Ze could speak, Xia Guoqiang took over the conversation.

"Brother, young people nowadays are very capable. Xiao Chu must be confident to do this, right?"

Xia Jianjun glanced at Xia Guoqiang and said, "Nonsense, if you don't have confidence, you are a fool. I'm asking him if he can be sure of it."

"I……"

Chu Ze was about to speak when Xia Guoqiang interrupted:
"I think Xiao Chu is fine. He dared to expand the business right after taking over. There are not many young people nowadays who have such courage. Most of them are lucky if they can hold on to the business, right?"

"no……"

Chu Ze wanted to say something humble, but Xia Guoqiang looked at him again.

"If Xiao Chu doesn't even have this ability, how could he possibly be favored by our Ruoruo, don't you think?"

Chu Ze: "..."

Ah, yes, yes...

That's right for you!
You're so fucking tight!

No, second uncle, you are here to cause trouble, right?

You are flattering me!

I'm suing you for defamation.

"Uncle, you're too kind. I'm just giving it a try. My main focus right now is training singers." Chu Ze wiped his sweat and quickly interrupted Xia Guoqiang.

If I don't interrupt him, who knows what he will continue to say.

Xia Jianjun took a sip of water and suddenly said to Chu Ze, "Ruoruo has arrived at your company."

"Uh... yes." Chu Ze nodded.

"Don't think that you can relax if you let Ruoruo come over. I won't approve of it if you rely on Ruoruo to achieve good results," Xia Jianjun warned.

Just as Xia Jianjun finished speaking, Xia Anruo's voice was heard.

"Why?"

Xia Anruo came down from upstairs carrying a bottle of wine, and obviously heard the conversation just now.

"Why do you say that? You use my daughter to make money and I'm going to give my daughter to her. How can it be so easy?" Xia Jianjun snorted as he looked at his daughter.

"You didn't say that before." Xia Anruo looked at Xia Jianjun with displeasure.

"How would I know that you have a boyfriend and have forgotten your father? You said you would never come to our company, but why are you back now?" Xia Jianjun glanced at his daughter. "Is it not okay for me to change my mind now? You control me." Xia Anruo was making trouble unreasonably.

"Then can't I change my mind? What's your business?" Xia Jianjun was also being unreasonable.

They are indeed father and daughter.

"Well, don't worry, uncle. I asked Ruoruo to come here not for any performance reasons, but mainly because I didn't want her to be too tired. Before at Xinghua, she had no choice but to attend various social events and run various announcements. She had few days to rest in a year. If she comes to our own company, no one can ask anything of her. She can also concentrate on music and have more free time." Chu Ze explained at the right time.

Hearing this, Xia Jianjun was stunned, as if a little surprised, but soon he realized it, and his eyes gradually became kinder when he looked at Chu Ze.

"Also, the newcomer that the company has just promoted recently has already shown some success. If nothing unexpected happens, the company's business will get back on track and the performance will get better and better." Chu Ze continued upon seeing this.

"Okay, I'll come back in a few months to see the results." Xia Jianjun nodded and gave Chu Ze a rare smile.

At this time, Wang Yandan also came over and interrupted the chat.

"Okay, we've talked enough, now it's time to eat."

Everyone came to the table one after another. This time, to celebrate Xia Anruo’s birthday, the dishes prepared were particularly luxurious and included some precious ingredients.

Wang Yandan was about to ask the nanny to open the champagne, but Xia Jianjun raised his hand and said, "Didn't Xiaochu bring two bottles of red wine last time? Drink those two bottles first."

Wang Yandan was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Xia Jianjun inexplicably, wondering if she had complained about the two bottles of wine Xiaochu brought before, why did he want to drink again?

You said you wouldn't drink the 82 one, so why are you coughing?

Chu Ze was also very surprised.

Today is a birthday party, Xia Guoqiang's family and Xia Yuqin are also here, Xia Jianjun even treated them to the red wine he brought. Does this show a recognition of Chu Ze? At least it is much better than his previous attitude of looking at him more disgusted than a dog.

So it turns out that Xia Jianjun is indeed a tsundere dad.

Wang Yandan asked the nanny to bring Chu Ze's two bottles of red wine, opened one bottle first, and poured it for the drinkers.

Just as Xia Hao was about to reach out for the cup, he was stopped by Chen Yun.

"No, red wine is not allowed either?" Xia Hao said aggrievedly.

"No." Chen Yun said.

"Drinking red wine is good for your health."

"You have to drink in moderation. If you drink too much, you'll have no bottom."

"Then I'll have a drink."

"Half a cup at most."

Chu Ze couldn't help laughing when he saw Xia Hao struggling pitifully for a long time to get half a glass of wine.

I didn't expect that Xia Anruo's cousin is a henpecked husband. His girlfriend must be a girl from Sichuan and Chongqing.

The girls in Jiangcheng are still the best. Look, Xia Anruo never cares about him drinking.

Chu Ze said as he took a sip of the boiled water in his glass...

In fact, Chu Ze doesn't drink at all.

Several families chatted together to celebrate Xia Anruo's birthday. It was lively and happy.

Since becoming a singer, Xia Anruo has not had a proper birthday celebration at home. She either celebrates her birthday alone or has a casual meal with Liao Qing and a few friends. Xia Anruo misses the long-lost atmosphere of celebrating her birthday together with her family.

Being a star does indeed mean losing a lot of precious things.

Until late at night, when everyone had eaten and drunk their fill.

Xia Anruo pulled Chu Ze up and said, "It's too late. Let's go back first."

"Why go back? Just stay at home." Wang Yandan advised.

"But Chu Ze..." Xia Anruo glanced at Chu Ze.

"Does our house still need a room for Xiao Chu? I have asked the nanny to clean up the guest room. Xiao Chu can stay in the guest room tonight." Wang Yandan waved her hand.

Hearing this, Xia Anruo glanced at Chu Ze, and Chu Ze nodded at her.

My mother-in-law has already said so, I can't just say I want to go back, that would be immature.

……

After taking a shower in the evening, Chu Ze lay on the bed in the guest room, looking at the ceiling, recalling what happened today.

Wang Yandan obviously had nothing against me and had always been very enthusiastic, with no change.

Although Xia Jianjun still seemed to be disgusted with him today, he could feel that he no longer had the deep hostility he had when he first came, and his attitude had obviously improved a lot.

As for Xia Guoqiang's family and Xia Yuqin...

It’s hard to tell what Xia Yuqin’s attitude is, but Xia Guoqiang is quite kind.

But their attitude doesn't matter. Anyone who wants to find a partner to get married needs the consent of uncles, aunts, and cousins.

Now it seems that as long as he runs the company well, Xia Jianjun will really not object to his relationship with Xia Anruo.

This is a good sign.

Chu Ze closed his eyes as he thought about it, and just lay on the bed for a long time, tossing and turning. He didn't know if it was because he couldn't sleep well in the unfamiliar environment of Xia Anruo's house, or if he was not used to having an empty arms. After all, he had been sleeping with Xia Anruo in his arms these days.

After tossing and turning in bed for a long time, Chu Ze turned on his phone, hesitated for a moment and sent a message to Xia Anruo: "The night is long and I can't sleep."

In a few seconds, Xia Anruo replied:

"living comfortably without anybody's help."

"?"

"You haven't slept yet?" Chu Ze asked.

"Aren't you the same?" Xia Anruo replied.

"Is it because you can't sleep without my arms?" Chu Ze teased.

"What do you think?"

"I think it is."

"Then what are you waiting for?"

Seeing this answer, Chu Ze was stunned for a moment, and then he was ecstatic.

Sitting up in shock from dying

With a snap, he quickly jumped up from the bed, left the room, sneaked upstairs and headed towards Xia Anruo's bedroom.

Chu Ze's guest room is on the first floor, while Xia Anruo's bedroom and her parents' bedrooms are on the second floor.

Before going to bed, she took Chu Ze to check out Xia Anruo's bedroom, then went upstairs, turned right and walked straight to the right.

It seemed like I suddenly understood why Xia Anruo wanted to take me to see her room.

It turns out this woman had planned this all along. She is so scheming.

However, I like it.

Although the corridor of the house was pitch black in the middle of the night, Chu Ze still found Xia Anruo's door by following the faint moonlight. He was about to knock on the door, but was afraid that the sound would alarm Xia Jianjun.

He put his hand on the door handle and turned it...

No lock!

It seems that Xia Anruo has already prepared in advance.

Thinking of this, Chu Ze chuckled and was about to push the door when he suddenly heard a creaking sound, which was the sound of the door opening.

Chu Ze lowered his head.

That’s not right. I haven’t twisted it yet.

Where does the sound come from?
It seemed to come from behind.

He turned around in confusion and saw that the door of the master bedroom behind him had been opened at some point. Xia Jianjun was standing at the door with an expressionless face, and a strange light flashed in his cold eyes.

Chu Ze: “!!!”

Father-in-law, let me explain!
