Chapter 142 Her blind date turned out to be herself.
"What did you say? Aunt Chu... is your mother?" Xiao Ze's eyes inexplicably lit up when he heard Chu Xinglan say this.
They all share the surname Chu, so why didn't he think of the same thing?
Chu Xinglan nodded and covered Xiao Ze's mouth with her hand: "Don't be so loud. If my parents find out I'm here, I won't be able to escape."
"Why did you run away from your parents?" Xiao Ze asked curiously.
"To be honest, my parents always want me to marry into wealthy families. No matter how bad the other party is, they won't let go as long as it's a wealthy family. I don't want to become a bargaining chip for their business interests."
Chu Xinglan smiled wryly.
Xiao Ze looked at Chu Xinglan with some delight.
I always thought she was just an ordinary girl, but I never imagined she was a rich heiress, and this heiress was even...
"By the way, how did my parents end up here? Are you all close friends?"
Xiao Ze nodded slightly: "My mom told me that your mom is my mom's best friend. They hadn't seen each other for over twenty years, but unexpectedly, they met again at a party not long ago. They chatted happily, and..."
Xiao Ze glanced at Chu Xinglan for no apparent reason.
He didn't have a good impression of Mrs. Chu. From the first time she came here, he knew that she was a vain woman. Under her instigation, the marriage between the Xiao and Chu families was arranged. That's why he was so eager to have Chu Xinglan pretend to be his girlfriend. He didn't expect that Mrs. Chu's daughter was Chu Xinglan, and the fiancée they were talking about was also Chu Xinglan.
What an incredible coincidence!
"No, I have to find a way to leave," Chu Xinglan muttered to herself.
Looking at Chu Xinglan, who was anxiously trying to escape, Xiao Ze had the exact opposite thought in his mind.
He had to keep Chu Xinglan here, and make sure Mr. and Mrs. Chu knew she was here.
"Senior, is there a back door? I want to leave."
"Back door?" Xiao Ze deliberately pondered for a while. "No!"
"Please, senior, find a way to lure them away so I can slip away." Chu Xinglan clasped his hands together.
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Xiao Ze asked, sounding troubled.
"If we don't run away, we won't be able to escape." Chu Xinglan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Xiao Ze, on the other hand, looked at her calmly.
"Aze, come down and meet your Aunt Chu!" Mrs. Xiao shouted.
"Xinglan, don't move here, I'll go downstairs to check on things." Xiao Ze told Chu Xinglan to stay in the room, and then happily went downstairs.
"Senior..." Chu Xinglan wanted to call out to Xiao Ze, but it was too late. She could only sit in Xiao Ze's room feeling frustrated.
Not long after, footsteps could be heard from outside.
Chu Xinglan was puzzled that Xiao Ze had come up so quickly. She was about to open the door a crack to look outside when the door was suddenly pushed open with a loud bang.
"Lanlan, is it really you?"
"Mom?!" Chu Xinglan was startled. At this moment, she could only resign herself to looking at Mrs. Chu and forced a smile.
She noticed that Xiao Ze was standing behind Mrs. Chu, making faces at her.
Xiao Ze, you traitor.
Chu Xinglan thought viciously to herself.
"Lanlan, I can't believe you've already come here on your own. That's wonderful! Your dad and I were just about to look for you everywhere."
Mrs. Chu held Chu Xinglan's hand, her face beaming with a kind smile.
That expression again; when she makes that face, nothing good ever comes of it.
"Ziqin, is she your daughter?" Mrs. Xiao looked at Mrs. Chu in disbelief.
After being so dismissive of her feelings, it turns out she's actually my best friend's daughter.
"Yes, Lanlan, quickly call her Auntie." Mrs. Chu pulled Chu Xinglan in front of Mrs. Xiao, displaying her to Mrs. Xiao as if she were merchandise.
"Mom, I've already called her over." Chu Xinglan said somewhat awkwardly.
Mrs. Xiao was extremely embarrassed at this moment.
"I really didn't expect this... she's your daughter." Mrs. Xiao said, looking at Xiao Ze with a hint of reproach. "You brat, why didn't you tell me she was your Aunt Ziqin's daughter? Look what a blunder you've made!"
"I just heard Xinglan mention it," Xiao Ze chuckled.
Chu Xinglan glared fiercely at Xiao Ze.
Senior, I even helped you, and you actually betrayed me like this!
Xiao Ze acted as if he hadn't seen it.
And so, Chu Xinglan and Xiao Ze, Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Xiao, Mr. Chu and Mr. Xiao sat down together again.
"Since the two children are both satisfied with each other, let's choose an auspicious day to arrange their marriage."
Mr. Xiao spoke with a smile.
Xiao Ze had no objection to this. Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Xiao looked at each other and smiled from ear to ear, while Chu Xinglan looked completely bewildered.
"What marriage? What are you talking about?"
"Xinglan, it's like this, our two families originally planned to arrange a marriage between you two, but now that you both like each other, it's naturally settled," Mrs. Xiao said with a smile.
Chu Xinglan's mouth was wide open.
She only came to help her senior with a small favor by pretending to be his girlfriend, how did she end up getting herself involved?
"Auntie, don't you dislike me? How could you agree to my marriage with Xiao Ze?"
“If you were an ordinary person, I naturally wouldn’t agree, but you are the daughter of the Chu family, and also the daughter of my best friend. I would agree to this a thousand times over, so why would I object?”
Mrs. Xiao showed no trace of disgust; instead, she wore a broad smile, as if the previous unpleasantness had never existed.
Chu Xinglan clicked her tongue in amazement. Are all these elders so quick to change their minds?
Just a moment ago, he looked utterly disgusted, as if even glancing at her was an insult to him. But now, he's all smiles, completely unconcerned.
“Auntie, I came here for the Xiao family’s money, have you forgotten?” Chu Xinglan said again.
“You’re right. Who wouldn’t like a rich and handsome boy like our Aze? It’s only natural that you’re after the Xiao family’s money.” Mrs. Xiao still couldn’t stop smiling.
Chu Xinglan tilted her head in frustration.
It seemed she was really going to fail here. She glanced at Xiao Ze.
Senior, say something! This can't be taken seriously.
Mrs. Chu was overjoyed to see Chu Xinglan.
They were originally trying their best to find Chu Xinglan and trick her into coming to the Xiao family, but she ended up going to the Xiao family on her own and even started dating Xiao Ze. Isn't this a case of trying to plant flowers but they don't bloom, while planting willows unintentionally and they thrive?
"Lanlan, if you had told me earlier that you and Xiao Ze were dating, we wouldn't have kept making things difficult for you."
At this point, Mrs. Chu couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Didn't this girl used to insist on marrying Xu Yang? When did she get together with Xiao Ze?
What is she up to? But whatever she's up to, since both sides have already met each other's parents and are very satisfied with each other, she has no choice but to agree.
