Siheyuan: Picked up by a goddess in 48 years

I haven't seen the mother and son of the Jia family for several days. Instead, He Daqing has a gloomy face these days, as if someone owes him money.

[Ding Dong! Received 30 points of collapse value from Yan Bugui! ]

[Ding Dong! Received 60 points of crash value from Yan Bugui.]

[Ding Dong! Received 100 points of collapse value from Yan Bugui! ]

Lu Zhenyuan, who was doing sit-ups, looked confused. What was going on? Didn’t Yan Bugui go back to school and work?

Why did it suddenly explode?

With doubts, he could only continue exercising.

"Stop practicing, wipe your sweat, let's go visit Xueru's house." Lu Wanyi walked over and said, wiping his sweat with a wet towel.

Lu Zhenyuan nodded, and then he remembered that apart from meeting once before the New Year, Chen Xueru had not come over since the New Year. This was a bit unusual, as Chen Xueru should not be the kind of person who could sit idle.

After wiping the sweat off, I put on a thin cotton jacket.

Although it has been a month since the beginning of spring, the weather in Beijing is still relatively cold, so you need to keep warm when going out.

It wasn't until April that the climate began to become comfortable.

Because Aunt Mei had to ride the bicycle, the family of three had to walk or call a scooter.

However, the cheap sister showed her usual willful style! In order to save time and effort, once and for all, she went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative to pick up a new bicycle.

It is also a women's bicycle, but this time there is no brown one for sale, all are black, which my sister is not very happy with.

She didn't just squander the money to cover a distance. She also took into consideration that she would be working next year and her younger brother would go to school. This made it very convenient for her to travel or to pick up her younger brother.

You have to buy it sooner or later, so since you have the money now, you should buy it now.

Lu Wanyi rode a bicycle, and Lu Zhenyuan sat on the back holding Xiao Yuyan, and they slowly went to Chen Xueru's house.

Chen Xueru lives in a house in Zhengyangmen.

Of course she wasn't the only one at home, she was with her parents.

After knocking on the door, an old maid opened it.

"Are you... Miss Lu? Come in!" The old maid recognized Lu Wanyi and greeted her hurriedly.

From this title, we can tell that she is not Chen Xueru's mother.

"Mother Chen."

Lu Wanyi called out, and then entered the door with Lu Zhenyuan and Wang Yuyan.

"Wanyi? Is it Wanyi?" A charming woman was coming down the stairs. She quickened her pace when she heard the noise.

When she saw the other person, Lu Wanyi also greeted him with a smile.

"Auntie, I'm here to see Xueru."

The Lu family and the Chen family can be considered just ordinary friends. In other words, she and Chen Xueru have been friends since childhood and have a deeper relationship, so she is naturally no stranger to Chen's mother.

"Okay, take a seat quickly, I'll call Xueru over." Mother Chen agreed and went upstairs.

Chen Xueru had already heard the noise and ran out of the room in her slippers.

"Oh! Wanyi, you're here!" Chen Xueru ran downstairs happily and gave her good sister a hug.

After they separated, she reached out to pinch Lu Zhenyuan's face, but the latter dodged her and didn't mind. Instead, she hugged Xiao Yuyan.

The latter, however, looked unhappy and began to struggle.

"No, hey, let me go~"

Lu Zhenyuan had no choice but to step forward, take it, and rescue the little guy.

Chen Xueru looked helpless.

"Let's go to my room and talk. Aunt Chen, please bring us some food and drinks!" Chen Xueru pulled Lu Wanyi and went upstairs.

Mother Chen looked helpless, knowing that she could no longer take care of her daughter as she had grown up, so she planned to go with Mother Chen to prepare food for the children.

Lu Zhenyuan followed behind holding Xiao Yuyan's hand. Before going up the stairs, he placed the gifts he brought for the visit on the tea table and then went upstairs.

Lu Wanyi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, and rolled her eyes at her best sister, who was so impatient that she didn't even have the chance to say hello properly.

A group of four people entered Chen Xueru's room.

As a two-story house, Chen Xueru's boudoir is naturally not small. It is decorated very exquisitely and cleanly, but there is only a bed and a dressing table to sit in the room.

After pulling Lu Wanyi to sit down, Chen Xueru began to complain.

It turned out that there was a reason why she hadn't been to the Lu family during this period of time. Her family planned to arrange a marriage for her, but she naturally refused. She also wanted to start her own business.

But Chen's father insisted on arranging a marriage for her, so she was confined to her home.

Listening to Chen Xueru complaining, Lu Zhenyuan seemed to be thinking about something. As a businessman, Chen's father should have noticed something, even though it was still a few years before that incident.

But there will always be some rumors before the event happens.

Of course, it may also be that Chen's father's old-fashioned ideas are at work. As the saying goes, sons are favored over daughters.

He felt it should be the latter, but there might be some reasons he didn't understand, but they were not important.

He knew from the communication between Chen Xueru and her step-sister that this generation of the Chen family was not just Chen Xueru. She had several brothers who had all married and moved out to run the business with Chen's father.

He remembered that Chen Xueru's marriage in the original drama was very bumpy. Of course, this was partly due to her own reasons, but the root of the problem started with her first husband. It seemed that the marriage was arranged by Chen's father.

Moreover, judging from the fact that Chen Xueru was able to do business, she had completely cut off her relationship with the Chen family and had never mentioned the Chen family.

It seems that before the public-private partnership, the Chen family must have heard about it and moved away. It seems that the Chen family has some connections abroad.

So by this calculation, Chen Xueru is considered an abandoned child of the Chen family, after all, she is a girl.

Just like the Lou family, several sons were sent away first, leaving behind a daughter, who also ended up with an unhappy marriage.

At this time, there was a knock on the door and Aunt Chen brought some snacks.

"Xiao Yuyan, come here. I'll give you something delicious." Chen Xueru teased the child while holding snacks.

Lu Zhenyuan rolled his eyes and after thinking for a while, he waved to Chen Xueru and walked towards the window.

Chen Xueru was stunned, glanced at her good sister, and seeing that Lu Wanyi didn't react, she stood up and walked over.

"What's the matter, young master? What instructions do you have?" Chen Xueru said jokingly and was about to reach out her hand to Lu Zhenyuan's face, but he slapped her away.

"Come here."

Chen Xueru raised her eyebrows and bent down.

The girl's shy and gentle body fragrance penetrated into his nostrils. Lu Zhenyuan took a step back and frowned slightly, "How much gouache did you apply?"

"What kind of gouache? My sister used foreign products." Chen Xueru rolled her eyes and said coquettishly, "Call my sister over here. If you have anything to say, tell her quickly."

Lu Zhenyuan rubbed his nose.

"You want to do business, and your father wants to arrange a marriage for you. Does that mean you can't do business if you don't obey?"

Chen Xueru looked up at him and nodded.

"So do you want to get married?"

"Not for now." Chen Xueru answered honestly.

Lu Zhenyuan nodded and said, "If, I mean if, there is a sum of capital that can be given to you to start a business, will you still accept the marriage arranged by your father?"

Chen Xueru fell silent.

She knew clearly what the consequences would be if she did not accept the marriage arranged by her father. It would turn into a family dispute and she might even be forced to marry. If she insisted on not marrying, she might be kicked out of the house.

This is not an exaggeration. Growing up in such a family, she knows too well what she has to pay for this family.

This is no longer a question of whether or not she can do business. To put it bluntly, doing business is just an ideal of hers, which was born out of the influence of her childhood environment and may become a hobby of hers in the future.

But these are nothing compared to family love.

Seeing that she was in a state of hesitation, Lu Zhenyuan decided to give her a hand, "Once a daughter is married off, she is like water spilled out."

Chen Xueru's delicate body trembled.

Yes, a daughter who is married off is like water spilled.

Although it is not applicable to all families, it is undoubtedly very applicable to the Chen family. If his father can force him to get married, will he recognize her in the future?

Perhaps in his eyes, if I got married obediently, I would be repaying him for raising me.

She knew very well how much her father valued her brothers. However, since she knew that she had no say in the family and had no independent source of income, she could only obey.

His dazed eyes gradually regained focus, and he stared at the 'little one' in front of him, "Do you have a solution?"

"If you make a choice, you can come to me." After saying that, Lu Zhenyuan moved closer to his adopted sister.

For Chen Xueru, this is a choice, whether to passively give up family ties or actively give up family ties. Of course, things are not absolute. If Chen's father does not force her, things will not get to the worst point.

And if it really comes to the worst, there is actually no difference between being active and passive. It depends on whether Chen Xueru can think it through and not leave any hurdles in her heart.
