He secretly changed his character

Lin Zhiyi said, "I'm a little jealous."

Xiao Yushu said with a smile, "Then you ate in vain. Although Zichu, Tunan and Anran are not from the same family, they are better than a family. They are very close to each other on weekdays."

Xiao Yiqun said, "You, just act like a spoiled child. But since An Ran is not here, do you feel that it is a waste of your feelings?"

The crowd roared with laughter.

"You should thank Zichu for your help, otherwise there would be no chance for you and Anran."

"Mom, can't you have a little confidence in your son?"

Fei Mingze asked, "Tunan? Is it Jiang Tunan? Who is he?"

Lin Zhiyi said, "Oh, my brother-in-law."

"Then why didn't he come today?"

Jiang Kuzhou took over the conversation, "He said he went to study in the United States."

"which school?"

"Stanford. Graduate school."

Xiao Yushu asked, "It's time for this kid to come back, right? Hasn't he graduated?"

Jiang Kuzhou also looked distressed. "This kid won't come back unless he makes something of himself. I thought He Zichu was angry again."

"How can that be possible? They are the best of friends. They play and fight a lot every day, but they don't seem to be strangers."

"It's a pity that they are two brats, so you and I can't become in-laws."

Xiao Yushu smiled.

Xiao Yiqin's words had a hidden meaning, "Even if we can't be in-laws, we can still be a family."

After these words were spoken, neither of them spoke, each of them had their own worries, and the situation became awkward.

Over there, Lu Zichu and Jiang Anran were sitting in the coffee shop downstairs and both ordered a cup.

Lu Zichu put a box on the table.

"what?"

"Meeting gift."

"Isn't what you gave me enough?"

"It's different. It's an engagement gift. I have to accept it."

"Since you've said that, I'll take it." Jiang Anran opened it and was stunned. "It's too expensive."

It’s the bracelet that Fei Mingze bought.

It would hurt to give it to Zhao Xiaotang, but Lu Zichu felt it was worth it to give it to Jiang Anran.

"What are you talking about? When I was studying abroad, you were the one who took care of our mom. Whenever she had a headache or a fever, you were the one who ran around to take care of her. During the holidays, you were also by her side to make her feel less lonely. You are the one who works the hardest."

Jiang Anran smiled, but the light in his eyes flickered again and again, "Okay. I knew you care more about people than Tunan."

"By the way, where is this kid?"

"He doesn't talk about himself often. He only sends me text messages during the holidays. I don't even know where he is now. I thought you were close to him, so you would know more than me."

"The last call was over two years ago."

February 2021th.

Not long after Lu Zichu returned to China, he received a call from Jiang Tunan. The two of them usually sent text messages to each other, but they were always greeting messages during the holidays, and they were all official business, never involving personal issues.

Lu Zichu was a little surprised, "I thought you were dead."

"Money. Two hundred thousand."

"Are you a kidnapper? What do you want the money for?" Then there was a beeping sound.

A minute later, a bank card number was sent to Lu Zichu's phone. Lu Zichu complained in his heart but dutifully called him.

Jiang Tunan never came back during the holidays, so even if he wanted to find out, he had no idea where to start.

But later I went to their school and found out that he was going to study in the United States, and I was happy for him.

Lu Zichu knew that Jiang Tunan was a man with a strong sense of self-esteem and a high spirit. He was holding back his anger and wanted to avenge his previous humiliation. If he didn't make a name for himself, he would never come back to him, so he had no choice but to stop asking around and wait for the ten-year deadline to expire, and then let him come back on his own.

Lu Zichu said, "I don't believe that he won't come back when you get married next year."

Having said that, I suddenly remembered something and went back to the box to get the things.

Lu Zichu opened the box and pushed it to Jiang Anran, "It's a wedding gift from Tunan."

Jiang Anran picked up the red property certificate, and tears welled up in her eyes just by looking at the name. She covered her trembling lips and asked, "When did he buy it?"

"I went with him a few days before he left."

"He never told me that."

"He said it was a dowry for you, bought with the prize money for being the provincial champion in science. I was originally hesitant about whether to wait until you get married and have him give it to you personally. But then I thought, it's better to give it to you in advance so that you two can prepare for your marriage."

"It's like I can't afford a house now." Jiang Anran said, tears streaming down her face, "This kid always does great things quietly."

Lu Zichu knew that the weight of this house was like a mountain to Jiang Anran. It was not that she looked down on this thing, but she felt sorry for Jiang Tunan at that time.

When Jiang Anran calmed down, Lu Zichu asked, "By the way, how did Lin Zhiyi treat you?"

Jiang Anran wiped her tears and smiled shyly, "He is very nice to me."

"She's our mother's matchmaker, right? She's really something. She always favors her own family members."

"Zi Chu—" Jiang Anran suddenly stopped him, "I understand what you mean."

"what?"

"Are you afraid that I didn't refuse this marriage proposal out of gratitude?"

Lu Zichu did have this concern, "My sister An Ran is the best. I am mainly worried that Lin Zhiyi is unreliable and not worthy of you."

Jiang Anran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "After all, he is still your cousin."

"Only eleven days older than me."

"A quarter of an hour older is still older. Stop being so disrespectful."

"Okay. You're already starting to act out of line before you even get married."

Jiang Anran was both amused and annoyed, but his expression became serious, "Don't worry, Zichu. I know what I want and what I don't want. As long as the direction is clear, I won't lose my original intention."

"That puts me at ease."

The two of them didn't dare to stay any longer. Just as they were about to get up, Lu Zichu saw Fei Mingze coming over and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's time to leave."

"So early? Isn't it over yet?"

"I'm an outsider, so I can't bother you any further." Fei Mingze looked at Jiang Anran, "Miss Jiang, the engagement gift is on the table. I hope you like it."

"For your trouble."

"When we get married, I will come back with Zichu."

"I'm flattered. I won't forget to send you an invitation."

"Farewell."

"Goodbye."

Lu Zichu sent Fei Mingze to the door.

Fei Mingze asked, "When are we leaving?"

Lu Zichu was about to speak when his cell phone rang. It was Xiao Kain.

He hung up the phone because he knew he was urging him to return to the capital.

Fei Mingze had sharp eyes. Although the name flashed by, he still saw it. "You are the one who made the most calls these days. Is it your boyfriend?"

Lu Zichu subconsciously wanted to refuse outright, but after thinking about it, he decided not to, "You're asking even though you know this?"

Fei Mingze was silent for a long time. When he spoke again, he had already dropped the topic, "When are you leaving?"

"The ticket is for 7:40 tomorrow night. What about you?"

"I'll pick you up at your house at six o'clock tomorrow night."

Fei Mingze got in the car and sped away.

Lu Zichu went back and sat for a while, but he was absent-minded. After the dinner, he followed Xiao Yushu back home.

The two of them sat together and talked about family matters for a while. Xiao Yushu let Jiang Anran's marriage go and then started to lead the conversation to Lu Zichu.
