Accidentally entered a high gate

Mu's parents: "We'd love to."

Mu Pingchuan: "..." His parents actually agreed! "You guys write me a written agreement."

Mr. Mu: "..." His son actually made him write a written agreement! Was he really that unreliable in his son's eyes? "You brat! Are you looking for a beating?"

Mother Mu: "..." Is her son afraid they'll go back on their word? If they wanted to go back on their word, they could just refuse. "If we weren't willing, we wouldn't have agreed in front of your grandparents."

Oh right!

His grandparents are still here!

If his parents go back on their word, his grandparents will definitely punish them.

"Dad, Mom, please sit down. Dad, Mom, are you thirsty? I'll get you some water. Dad, Mom, why did you agree so readily? Do you also think Wanwan's cousin is quite nice?"

Mu's father: "Mm."

Mu's mother said, "Although Wanwan's cousin isn't as pretty as Wanwan, she's still prettier than most girls. Plus, she got into Peking University."

As Mu Pingchuan poured water for his mother, he asked, "You also know she got into Peking University?"

"Um."

How did you know?

"Don't her great-grandmother and her mother come to visit your Grandma Ma's house every now and then? I ran into her mother once and chatted with her for a bit. Her mother said she got into Peking University. She should be a junior now, right?"

"Um."

"How long have you two been dating? Do her parents know you're dating?"

"We haven't even started dating yet. I told her I liked her and wanted to be in a relationship with her. She didn't agree. She felt there was a big difference between her family and ours."

She didn't agree? "Isn't there a big difference between her maternal grandparents' family and your grandfather's family?"

"That's what I said too. But she said Uncle Ma was going to settle down in the countryside."

Mu's father: "No one would ever go to the countryside to settle down, not even your Uncle Ma. Even your Uncle Ma was forced to go to the countryside by your Grandpa Ma."

Mu's mother: "It's normal for her to have these concerns."

Mu's father: "That's true."

Mother Mu: "What are your plans now?"

"I plan to tell her that you all like her and think she's very outstanding. If she still has reservations, I'll ask Wanwan to step in."

Mu's mother: "You can't rely entirely on Wanwan; you have to be more proactive yourself."

Mu's father: "Your mother is right."

"I know, don't worry."

Mother Mu: "When did you start liking her cousin? Her cousin's name is Hongxia, right?"

"Yes. I liked her the first time I saw her."

"You fell in love with him at first sight?"

"Hmm. Normally, when Wanwan first brought her to play with us, she should have been reserved and awkward. But she wasn't at all. It was like she grew up in our school."

Mother Mu looked at him and smiled, "So you've fallen for her?"

"Um."

"She's probably like her mom. Her mom wasn't nervous when she came to visit. Why are you only telling her now? Didn't she get into university two years ago? Aren't you afraid she'll be snatched away by other boys?"

"I'm not afraid. I want to wait until she's settled in before I tell her."

"adapt?"

"Yes. University is different from high school."

"You're quite thoughtful."

"Hehe... Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, please sit down. I'm going to write a letter to Wanwan."

Grandma Mu: "Let's eat first, then you can write."

Mu Pingchuan said, "I want to write first," and went upstairs.

Watching his retreating figure, Mu's mother laughed and said, "Look how anxious he is."

Grandma Mu smiled too. "He's been waiting for years, how could he not be anxious?"

Grandpa Mu stood up from the sofa and looked at Dad and Mom, saying, "You two come to the study with me, I have something to ask you."

"Okay." The couple smiled and followed Grandpa Mu to the study.

Mr. and Mrs. Mu thought Grandpa Mu was going to ask them about work. Instead, Grandpa Mu stared into their eyes and asked, "Why did you agree?"

Mu's parents: "..." Didn't they already say it was because their cousin Wanwan was both beautiful and got into Peking University?

Snapped!

Grandpa Mu slammed his hand on the table. "If you dare try to fool me with those lies you told Pingchuan, I'll send you to the grassroots level."

The couple: "..." They've already agreed, so why are they still nagging them? Shouldn't they make Pingchuan beg for a year or two before agreeing?

Mu's father: "At the very least, Ma Xiaosan will become a provincial governor."

Mu's mother said, "Wanwan and her cousin are closer than blood sisters. Wanwan might even be more successful than her uncles in the future."

Snapped!

Grandpa Mu slammed his hand on the table again. "Still trying to fool me! I'll call your boss right now and have him send you to Xinjiang for aid work!"

The couple: "..."

Seeing that Grandpa Mu was going to call their leader, the couple had no choice but to tell the truth.

Mu's mother: "I...I heard that her mother's business is quite large."

Mu's father: "Her mother brought her to Beijing first, and then picked up her younger brother. Her mother shouldn't be someone who favors boys over girls. If her mother were, she would have picked up her younger brother first."

"I knew you two agreed so readily, it wasn't because of that girl and Ma Laosan. No matter how successful Ma Laosan is, he's not that girl's biological father. That girl is smart and beautiful. But there are plenty of smart and beautiful girls. That girl isn't as beautiful as Wanwan, nor is she as smart as a national-level scientist."

The couple: "..."

The couple felt like they were invisible in front of the old man.

Mu's father: "We're doing this for Pingchuan's own good."

Mother Mu: "Yes, yes. We don't lack anything, except...except...except..."

"So all you're missing is a wealthy in-law, right?"

Mother Mu: "..."

Mother Mu gritted her teeth. "Yes!" Anyway, they were invisible in front of the old man.

Grandpa Mu glared at them. "You two are really keeping up with the times."

Mu's father: "We really have Pingchuan's best interests at heart."

Mother Mu: "Yes, yes, yes! We are definitely not after Wanwan's aunt's money."

Grandpa Mu glanced at them sideways. "It's no use even if you're eyeing it. Although I've never dealt with Wanwan's aunt, a woman who can build a business that even you two are tempted by is no pushover. If you're thinking of getting money from her through marriage, you should give up on that idea now."

"I'll give you half an hour."

"Think carefully: do you just want to find Pingchuan a rich mother-in-law, or do you want to use Pingchuan to get money from her?"

"If you want to get money from them through Pingchuan, I'll go and tell Pingchuan that I don't approve of him dating Wanwan's cousin."

"If all you're doing is finding Pingchuan a rich mother-in-law, then don't even think about her money anymore. Think it over carefully."

The couple quickly replied, "We just want to find Pingchuan a wealthy mother-in-law."

Are you sure?

The couple replied, "Absolutely! We wouldn't dare covet Ma Xiaosan's sister-in-law's money!"

Grandpa Mu: "..." So you're not afraid of that girl's mother, but of Ma Xiaosan? "Ma Xiaosan hasn't acted recklessly since he got married, so why are you still afraid of him?"
