The game's heroine has come true? The aloof school beauty is in tears.

"Are you getting married in a week?"

"Is it not allowed?"

At the dinner table, Mr. and Mrs. Xu exchanged a glance, as if struggling with how to answer.

"So you'll disagree when it comes time to get married, right?"

"We definitely agree, but isn't there some missing step?" Old Xu put down his chopsticks, rubbed his forehead, and asked, "We haven't met your family yet."

"I have no family."

Of course, I can't notify my family because of the long distance, and even if I do, they won't be able to come.

"My parents passed away a long time ago, and only my grandfather is left in the family. He also has difficulty moving around."

"That's alright, just bring the old man over."

For families like Lao Xu's, a wedding is never a troublesome affair.

If Old Xu doesn't complete all the formalities, then he's being lazy.

"Dad, Grandpa doesn't have the ability to move around easily, so he shouldn't come."

This is, after all, a sham marriage.

Xu Zhixiao certainly couldn't ask Lu Yuan to go home and bring the old man over.

She could only try to persuade her father.

But what I didn't expect was...

Old Xu's face immediately tightened, and he got angry.

"How could you say such a thing! How can you not let family members come? Aren't Xiaolu's family members family? Don't you know how formal a wedding is!"

Old Xu's speech lasted for more than ten minutes.

It's so complicated that no one knows whether Old Xu or Xu's mother is a teacher.

It can only be said that although Old Xu is about to die, his remaining influence still exists.

"My grandfather is really inconvenient."

"Let's book the tickets now and go to your hometown."

Old Xu made the decision immediately; he wouldn't budge on this matter no matter what.

Having no other choice, Lu Yuan could only say:

"My grandfather is very stubborn. If you let him know I'm getting married, he'll definitely come. But a long journey like that can easily trigger his illness."

"There's no reason not to inform them. If your hometown people find out, they'll definitely start wondering who the Xu family is."

"How about this, after the wedding, Zhixiao and I will go back to our hometown immediately."

"Okay."

Lu Yuan has always insisted on doing this.

No matter how much Lao Xu insisted, there was nothing he could do but compromise.

"I'll take care of the wedding hotel and ceremony. You two just need to pick out the rings and take the wedding photos."

"I thought we were going to talk about the bride price."

"You should save that little bit of money to buy Zhixiao a ring."

Sometimes it's really not surprising that Lao Xu is the head of the family.

Not only did he not ask for a single penny, he even went on a crazy display.

"You two can choose one of these houses as your new home."

Old Xu went straight back to his room, pulled out several property certificates, and threw them on the table.

He had been arranging Xu Zhixiao's wedding for many years, and the house was naturally ready long ago.

"Old Xu, are you looking for a son-in-law to marry into your family?"

"If we don't have a house, we'll treat it as our new home; if we do have a house, we'll use it as part of our dowry."

"Okay, this one will do."

Lu Yuan casually picked one up and then pushed the other property certificates back.

As a result, Lao Xu pushed it back again.

"I already said, everything except the new house is part of the dowry."

"Awesome! From now on, Xu Zhixiao won't need to drive to and from get off work; she can ride me there every day."

"I'll transfer the clinic to you when I have some free time. The doctors at the clinic are all my former colleagues and students. Just keep it running smoothly and it won't interfere with your work."

This is not over yet.

Old Xu was still talking.

He mentioned his regular investment funds and government bonds, and his shares in a pharmaceutical company...

Sometimes it's no wonder people want to be kept by men; anyone who's ever done it knows what it's like.

Even Lu Yuan, sitting at the table, was a little stunned.

It's no wonder that families like that look down on the internet.

He did nothing but marry the woman next to him.

He instantly went from a small-time real estate agent to a middle-class person.

Old Xu was the main character at the entire lunch.

In the face of such extravagant displays of wealth, everything else pales in comparison.

After the meal ended, Xu's mother and Xu Zhixiao went into the kitchen.

When only two men remained standing at the window.

Lu Yuan raised an ultimate question:

"Old Xu, aren't you afraid I'll try to scam you?"

"If you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them."

"The demeanor of a great general."

"Lu Yuan, I haven't wasted my life on dogs these past few decades."

Old Xu coughed violently twice, then turned and patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder.

The old man wasn't very tall, so it was a bit difficult for him to take pictures of distant places.

So Lu Yuan squatted down at just the right moment.

"Sycophant." Old Xu laughed.

"Having lived for decades, I've chosen a sycophantic son-in-law for myself."

"A sycophant is fine, a liar is fine, anything is fine, as long as you are loyal and righteous."

Old Xu's eyes grew weary. He said, "Everything changes in this world, including people. When two people are going to stay together, you can't gamble on your feelings remaining unchanged. What truly sustains a relationship is responsibility and commitment, which requires loyalty and integrity."

"Thank you for your recognition."

"Xiao Lu, you'll understand when you get to my age: finding a truly loyal and affectionate person is harder than finding gold and silver."

"Old Xu, just how far can your eyes see?"

Old Xu smiled again.

Appropriate flattery made him feel exceptionally comfortable.

He said, "Further than you imagine."

"Can you see a guy in the building across the street watching a game with his pants down and his big dick dangling from his penis?"

Old Xu followed the gaze.

I saw Lu Yuan pressed against the window, desperately looking out.

He could only utter one word: "Get lost."

"Old Xu, you say all the money you've earned in your life has ultimately benefited Xu Zhixiao and me, why is that?"

Old Xu hastily uttered a single syllable:

"fly."

...

Xu Zhixiao felt that ever since she met Lu Yuan, she had been constantly on the move.

She was originally a person who walked on two feet, but it was as if she suddenly flew up.

It flew very high.

High above the clouds, the parents standing on the ground couldn't see it clearly.

On the bus, imported food, being a rock singer...

She flew very fast, so fast that she was actually getting married.

Xu Zhixiao lay on her bed in her bedroom, deep in thought. Then she looked up, propping her hand on her hand, at Lu Yuan sitting in a chair: "Lu Yuan, I can't believe we're really getting married."

"I dare to dream of living in a big house."

Lu Yuan looked at the several property certificates in his hand, his mouth practically watering.

If this weren't a game, he would have really struck it rich.

"All you ever do is look at houses!"

"I also want to see how much money is in Lao Xu's account, but he won't let me see it."

"If you really marry me, all of this will be yours."

"Oh, I'm not actually that fond of money."

Lu Yuan put down the property certificate in an instant, swung his legs, and closed his eyes to rest.

It was a sunny day, and they were waiting to go shopping for rings in the afternoon.

Since there was no air conditioning in the living room, he could only hide in Xu Zhixiao's room to enjoy the air conditioning.

Because Lao Xu simply doesn't have the habit of turning on the air conditioner.

"Where exactly do I fall short?"

Xu Zhixiao didn't say this, because she wasn't the type of person to say such a thing.

Besides, Lu Yuan wouldn't be able to answer that question anyway.

So that's what she was thinking.

But I don't know if it was the atmosphere that made it so.

In short, a strange idea suddenly popped into her head.

"It's a long way, I need to change my clothes."

"Then I'll go out."

"No need, just close your eyes. I don't need you to help me zip up the zipper."

"oh."

Lu Yuan closed his eyes completely, leaving not a single slit.

He's not so despicable as to watch others change clothes.

While he was changing clothes, Xu Zhixiao went to the closet and found the most revealing dress.

It's actually just a normal bodycon skirt.

Even her most revealing clothes wouldn't go any further than this.

She bought this secretly and never dared to wear it out for fear of being scolded.

"Open your eyes."

Xu Zhixiao exposed her back to Lu Yuan, revealing her full and tall figure.

He gestured to Lu Yuan that he could open his eyes and zip up the zipper.

Lu Yuan certainly helped with this.

Xu Zhixiao felt hands stroking his back.

But she felt something was wrong, something she couldn't quite put her finger on.

So she turned her head and glanced at it.

Why won't you open your eyes?

"You can keep the zipper closed."

"Open your eyes and look at me."

"I won't look."

Xu Zhixiao's chest heaved with anger, and she simply reached out and pulled down the chain herself.

Then turn your back again.

"Not done properly, keep going."

Lu Yuan fumbled to zip up the chain again, but still didn't open his eyes.

So Xu Zhixiao continued to repeat this operation.

She refused to believe that Lu Yuan would never open his eyes.

Lu Yuan did not open his eyes.

However, when you don't open your eyes, your hand may not land precisely on the zipper.

I had no choice but to grope her back.

So they touched it like that a few times.

Lu Yuan suddenly heard a "hmm~" sound.

It was posted by Xu Zhixiao.

If we were to turn the camera to the front now, we would probably see Xu Zhixiao with a flushed face, holding back her voice.

Lu Yuan heard the "hmm" from the other party.

Xu's mother, who had just arrived at the door and was about to call the two people out, overheard it.

Xu's mother stood still for a moment.

Almost without hesitation, he turned and walked toward Old Xu, who was already changing his shoes and waiting at the gate.

Amid Lao Xu's puzzled voice, she pulled him out the door.

"Where are you going?"

"Anything is fine with me."
