Chapter 606: Showdown with Parents
After hearing Yang Rou's words, Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a daze, "Is there anything else I need to do?"
Yang Rou glanced at him coldly, then sighed slightly and said, "Chen Yan. Are you really just planning to meet Manman's parents?"
"She's not young anymore. Why do her parents want to meet you?"
She didn't wait for Chen Yan to explain, but continued, "And it's not just her. Apart from me, none of the other sisters are of marriageable age."
"You have settled your career affairs now. Isn't it time to settle everyone's affairs one by one?"
After hearing what Yang Rou said, Chen Yan slapped his forehead helplessly.
To be honest, this is what he fears most during this period.
He had obviously overcome the biggest crisis in his career, but ... he always felt that his life was not as comfortable as before.
In the end, the girl didn't urge him. But...she always used that pitiful look or some hints to remind Chen Yan.
And if Chen Yan didn't say anything, they wouldn't take any further action. They would just go out shopping together, drink afternoon tea, and then spend their vacation in a hotel.
The money spent was not much, so Chen Yan did not feel bad about it.
But...he is now a hot-tempered young man.
He was also anxious because none of his five girlfriends were around.
Moreover, he did not expect that the girls had such a good relationship now.
Just like now.
It was clearly Lu Man's business, but Yang Rou was there reminding Chen Yan and speaking for Lu Man.
Chen Yan always felt that if this continued, his position in the family would gradually be lost.
And... for some reason, a "weird" scene always appeared in his mind: he was lying on the hospital bed, dying, and several girls gathered together and whispered,
"He's not good to us either. Do we choose to remove the tube, remove the tube, or remove the tube?"
After shuddering and dispelling the image in his mind, Chen Yan gradually made up his mind.
Since I have promised the girls before that I will satisfy them and make proper arrangements for them, then just do it yourself!
As a man, you must always take responsibility!
Escaping will not solve the problem.
Although I have "five responsibilities", I can always solve them if I tackle them one by one!
Thinking of this, Chen Yan said to Yang Rou, "Don't worry. I will."
Seeing Chen Yan's eyes gradually becoming firm, a gentle smile appeared on Yang Rou's face. She was obviously happy that Chen Yan finally decided to take responsibility.
However, no matter how happy you are, you still have to stab someone in the back.
She slowly said to Chen Yan, "Also, Chen Yan, I think the most important thing for you to solve our problem is not our family, but... your family."
Chen Yan was confused. He didn't understand what Yang Rou meant.
Yang Rou explained, "If we really want to hold a wedding, it will be easy for our family to hide it. But your family will have to attend four or five weddings... Don't you need to explain this to them in advance?"
After hearing Yang Rou's words, Chen Yan remembered this key thing.
He couldn't help but take a breath and felt a little toothache.
Indeed.
With the cooperation of several women, as long as nothing goes wrong, their families will not come into contact with each other and the matter can be easily covered up.
However, the prerequisite is that they are one's own relatives, or... at least the parents must meet each girl's family.
This means that at least my parents know the truth.
'It's a headache... This is too difficult.'
Chen Yan didn't think his parents would agree with this.
So, he suddenly felt that this matter was a bit troublesome.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan couldn't help but feel a little more confused.
However, the decision has been made, and Chen Yan doesn't want to back down now.
So, even though he was a little panicked, he still said to Yang Rou, "Leave it to me. I will take care of it..."
In the afternoon, Chen Yan got off work early, and then gave his assistant a list in advance, asking her to buy a bunch of things his parents liked according to his requirements.
Chen Yan's family is relatively wealthy and they lack nothing, but Chen Yan knows that sometimes what an elderly person lacks is not those things but the love of their heart.
Especially since I have to talk to them about something that may make them angry tonight, I need to buy some things in advance to make them feel better.
After work, Chen Yan carried a lot of bags and went to his parents' house with the driver.
When I got home, I knocked on the door, and Lao Chen's "domineering" voice rang out from inside the door, "Who is it?"
Chen Yan coughed and shouted, "Dad. It's me."
There was a rustling sound in the house, along with the sounds of Old Chen and Chen's mother packing things, mixed with some mutual accusations between the two, "I told you to clean up the house more, but you're just lazy. Now that our son is back, look at the mess at home."
"I told you not to litter. You did it, didn't you?"
After a while, the door opened and Lao Chen stood at the door with a smile on his face.
Having not seen each other for two or three months, he was a little excited to see Chen Yan.
He looked Chen Yan up and down, and seeing that his useless son had become more mature and more imposing, he immediately patted Chen Yan's shoulder with relief, "Good, good, you're back."
Chen Yan bared his teeth and said, "Dad, why don't you take the things first?"
Old Chen slapped his forehead immediately, laughed and said, "Yes, yes, you see, I forgot about it."
As he said that, he took the things from Chen Yan's hand, and quickly and enthusiastically took Chen Yan back home.
When I got home, the house looked the same.
Even though Chen Yan is now worth hundreds of billions, to the old man, it is just a number.
At their age, they like familiarity and stability, not change.
So, even though the things at home were a little old, they did not replace them but continued to use them.
However, just because the old items were not thrown away does not mean that new things were not added.
There are many electrical appliances in the house that are obviously expensive. They were all bought by Chen Yan for his parents in the past two years.
While looking around the room, Chen Yan was thinking about how to start talking about the purpose of his visit.
At this time, it was Old Chen who spoke first.
He said to Chen Yan, "Is your company doing well now?"
Chen Yan came back to his senses and said, "Hmm," "It's fine now."
It was obvious that Lao Chen had been surfing the Internet quite a lot recently. He smiled and said, "I heard that your Douyin is competing with Manshou. During this period, I talked to everyone in our village and asked them to delete Manshou and download Douyin to support you."
Chen Yan: …
After hearing what Lao Chen said, Chen Yan was speechless for a moment.
Lao Chen continued, "Also, I heard that your relationship with Penguin is not good. It seems that the games are also competing. Don't worry, I have also mobilized my old friends to delete all the "Honor of Kings" from his grandson's phone. What about the recently launched... that... what is "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds"? "
Chen Yan corrected, "'Battlefield'."
Lao Chen said, "Oh!" "Yes! Battlefield!"
He smiled and said, "But it seems that they don't really want children to play games. After deleting "King of Glory", they can't let us play games anymore."
At this point, he groaned and smiled, "I always feel like I was fooled by those old guys."
Listening to my father chattering about what's happening around him.
Chen Yan listened carelessly at first, but gradually became more and more serious.
He couldn't help but think of the days when he didn't have the system in the beginning.
At that time, my father had no trust in me and was pushing me every day to take the civil service exam or to work in a state-owned enterprise that he had found for me.
In order to force himself to settle down, he even collected his own rent.
Later, when he found that Chen Yan was really realizing his dream bit by bit, he was the first to stand up and support him. He sent him food and housing, and supported him secretly.
The first one was him, and the second one was also him.
Because he is a father.
Because he wants his children to have a promising future and live a good life...
Sometimes they can be annoying or self-willed, but their only motivation is to help their children, even if it's just a little bit.
As he thought about it, Chen Yan couldn't help but shed tears.
But because he is older now, he was able to control his emotions in time and did not lose his composure.
At first, Chen Yan planned to talk about this matter when he came back, but now, he plans to accompany his parents first.
In this way, Chen Yan accompanied Old Chen without any purpose and chatted with Chen's mother about family matters.
In the meantime, he also took the time to help his parents adjust their phones so that they can also experience the current mobile Internet era...
In the evening, I had dinner with my parents.
After dinner, while watching TV, Chen Yan finally talked about the purpose of his visit.
He thought for a moment, then said to Chen Ma, "Mom, do you still remember Lu Man you met last time?"
When Chen Yan mentioned Lu Man, Chen's mother's eyes almost disappeared with laughter. She quickly said, "Remember, remember. Isn't she your girlfriend?"
She may have "guessed" what Chen Yan was going to say, she smiled and said, "Your mother is not an old-fashioned person, I know that being a star is also a profession."
"Although the entertainment industry is a bit chaotic. But she is in your company, you protect her well, and everything will be fine."
"As long as you two are fine, Mom will be happy."
When Old Chen heard Chen Yan and Chen's mother talking about "partners", although his eyes were still on the TV, his ears perked up.
Then he saw Chen Yan suddenly turned to him and asked, "Well, Dad, do you remember the female college student you met before? She's the rich second generation you thought she was."
Hearing Chen Yan mention this, Lao Chen couldn't help but look embarrassed. He said, "I remember."
"At that time, I thought she was the one who opened your company and helped you develop it. I was also worried about you..."
He probably felt that the following words were not appropriate to say, so he did not say them again, but changed the subject at the right time, "But I did some research later. I know that you have nothing to do with her, you are just normal friends. She is still an employee of your company."
"I guess it's all just my misunderstanding."
Hearing what Lao Chen said, Chen Yan shook his head and said, "No. She is my girlfriend."
As soon as Chen Yan said this, several question marks popped up in Old Chen and Chen's mother's heads.
Mother Chen looked at Old Chen, and Old Chen looked at Mother Chen.
Old Chen couldn't help but ask tentatively, "What about Lu Man...?"
Before he finished speaking, Chen Ma suddenly interrupted with a smile, "Oh. I see. You broke up with Lu Man and are together with that female college student, right?"
After hearing what Chen Ma said, Old Chen suddenly said, "Oh, yes. So that's how it is."
He tried hard to recall, "I remember the girl's name... Qiaoqiao, Yu Qiaoqiao, right?"
"Very good. When I first met her, I thought she was a very nice girl."
"Although her family background is poor, we don't need to care about the girl's family background now."
After hearing what Lao Chen and Chen's mother said, Chen Yan took a deep breath and said, "No, Mom and Dad. What I want to say is that they are all my girlfriends."
"And... not just the two of them. I have three other girlfriends."
Lao Chen: ???
Mother Chen: ????
