"Okay, okay - eat more if you like it."

"..."

Everyone stared at Zezhi, who had suddenly become brave at the crucial moment, with subtle expressions, unsure of how to react.

Weren't you just acting like a coward? How come you suddenly went all out? And you seemed so confident and collected!

"Was this guy faking it all along?"

Qin Dan lowered her voice and asked, thinking that this guy was no longer a threat, but she didn't expect him to be so well hidden!

Even Lin Qiu was taken aback when Ze Zhi suddenly seemed to be possessed, and he was completely stunned.

Not only did others not expect it, but even Zezhi didn't expect herself to suddenly turn out like this.

At first, I was terrified, but the moment I faced Lin Qiu's mother, my fear and tension reached their peak, and all other feelings vanished...

I don't know why it turned out this way, but I feel like it will work!

Even Qin Yunmo didn't expect things to turn out this way, and he frowned, somewhat at a loss for what to do.

"Come on, Yunmo, don't just drink beverages, eat some vegetables."

Of course, Chizuru didn't forget her future daughter-in-law, and smiled as she served her food.

Yunmo is quite cute when he gets a little jealous sometimes.

"Ah Ziyan, don't be too reserved. Just make yourself at home. I remember you really like pickled fish. I specially cooked this for you. Try it."

"Yanrou, eat more too. All the thorns have been removed, so eat without worry."

"Xiao Xuan and Xiao Dan, don't be picky eaters, you should eat some vegetables too."

Under Lin Qiu's helpless gaze, his mother skillfully and naturally won over everyone, handling the situation with remarkable composure.

The tense atmosphere that should have been worrying didn't appear at all; instead, they got along extremely well, which made Lin Qiu feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Brother Lin Qiu, why aren't you eating?"

Noticing that Lin Qiu seemed a bit off, Qin Xuan casually asked him a question.

"Ah—it's nothing, I was just thinking about some things."

"Is Aunt Qianhe thinking of which daughter-in-law she has her eye on?"

"Don't talk nonsense, my mom is just being hospitable."

Is that so?

Qin Xuan muttered something meaningful to himself, while looking at Qianhe with great interest.

Although it seems like Aunt Chizuru treated everyone equally, you can still sense her favoritism towards the eldest sister.

However, this is only temporary. As things stand, Ying Ziyan and Zhou Zezhi are gaining favor at an unusually fast pace! If this continues, she might be overtaken!

"By the way, Mom, do you remember what Lin Qiu's childhood sweetheart's name is?"

Just then, Chie suddenly asked a question, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

"Lin Qiu's childhood sweetheart?"

Chizuru was taken aback by what she heard and began to carefully consider the memories in her mind.

Childhood sweethearts... Childhood sweethearts...

"Ah, I remember now, there was a little girl who was very close to Lin Qiu when we were little, but she moved away later."

"Yes, yes, that's her. What's her name again?"

"Chen... Chen Xiao! Yes, that's the name. She had a slightly chubby face and was a very cute little girl. I really liked her back then."

"But that was a long time ago, I don't remember it very clearly."

Mom, is there any girl you don't like...?

Lin Qiu's lips twitched, and he looked at his mother with great regret.

"Chen Xiao... Hmm, I saw a woman today who looks a lot like Lin Qiu's childhood sweetheart."

As she spoke, Chie took out her phone, flipped through her photo album, found Chen Xiao's photo, and handed it to Chizuru.

Upon seeing the aloof figure, Chizuru's eyes lit up almost instantly—

"Son, isn't this the girl you were betrothed to when you were little?"

"Mom, you can't remember what level it was, huh?"

Lin Qiu rolled her eyes. She had just said she couldn't remember, but now that she saw it, she remembered it so clearly!

However, after his mother explained it to him, he gradually came to his senses.

So, that Chairman Chen... is Chen Xiao?!

No wonder it felt strangely familiar, and it didn't seem like someone I'd met in a game. Was it someone I knew before?!

My appearance has changed so much, I don't even recognize myself!

Seeing Lin Qiu standing there in a daze, Qin Yunmo's heart sank. Sure enough, things were developing in a bad direction!

"Ah Xuan, isn't something wrong with the situation?"

Seeing the dinner party suddenly fall silent, Qin Dan muttered something to Qin Xuan with some unease.

I thought that Aunt Chizuru would have forgotten about something that happened so long ago, but I didn't expect her to remember it so clearly!

It's one thing to remember other things, but he still remembers the arranged marriage!

My older sister's condition has become extremely critical!

"Stay calm. That guy moved away a long time ago. Although he has reappeared, he no longer lives next door and is from another school. He doesn't pose any threat."

"Well, that makes sense."

With Ah Xuan's analysis, Qin Dan's anxiety subsided.

However, while Qin Xuan reassured Qin Dan with these words, he himself felt uncertain.

That's certainly the case at the moment, but that guy is a dangerous individual who's even capable of self-destruction, and he's still hung up on Brother Lin Qiu. He might just come looking for trouble!

Moreover, she already knows that Lin Qiu is in Yue Du High School, and she will probably try to see him again!

"Everyone, don't just stand there, let's eat first. After all, it's all in the past, so let's not talk about that now. Instead, tell me about Lin Qiu's situation at school. I'm always worried that this guy will cause me trouble."

Seeing that the atmosphere had become somewhat heavy, Chizuru bit her chopsticks in a daze, but didn't pay too much attention to it, and invited everyone to change the subject.

What's past is past; the current table of potential daughters-in-law is far more important!

I like them all, it's really hard to choose!

"Lin Qiu usually behaves quite well at school and hasn't made any mistakes. He just struggles a little with his studies, but with the help of his senior, he should be fine."

"..."

Qin Yunmo glanced at Ze Zhi, who had stolen his lines, his eyes sharpening.

What, you're trying to take this opportunity to climb the social ladder?

189 - Two sides facing off, it's hard to tell the real from the fake.

"Ah-so full, so full! Lin Qiu's mother's cooking is amazing, even better than those professional chefs."

"Don't joke around, I'm far from that level. Also, you don't need to call me 'Lin Qiu's mother' anymore, just call me Aunt Qianhe from now on, it won't seem so formal."

If this keeps up, am I going to have to call for my mom?!

Qin Yunmo and Ying Ziyan looked at Ze Zhi, who was desperately trying to gain favor with them, with a strange expression. For a moment, they wished they could execute her on the spot.

If I had to put it in perspective, Ying Ziyan could barely be considered someone who came to meet the parents. Why are you being so eager?!

Those who try to steal the prize in this situation will be punished by heaven!

Sensing the faint killing intent emanating from the side, Zezhi's eyelids twitched, but surprisingly, she didn't back down. Instead, she bravely continued chatting with Chizuru about everyday things.

With parents around, these guys won't dare do anything!

With Ye Qianhe around, Ze Zhi felt incredibly confident, as if she had been reborn from the brink of death, and completely put all her worries behind her.

"The eldest sister's position is a bit dangerous."

Seeing this scene before her, Qin Dan's heart sank.

This Sawari is just getting stronger and stronger when pushed to the limit!

"Brother Lin Qiu, what are you talking about?"

On the other side, Qin Xuan looked at Lin Qiu, who had been chatting on his phone non-stop since earlier, with some confusion. He immediately leaned closer to try and see who Lin Qiu was chatting with.

Lin Qiu didn't bother to hide anything and simply moved the phone closer to her.

"Do you remember the guys from Longmen High School we played with during the day? One of them, Shang Yan, got my contact information from Chen Xiao and we're chatting right now."

"Shang Yan... ah, is that the one with the horned hat?"

"Yes, I'm talking to her about Chen Xiao."

Chen Xiao!

Qin Xuan's eyes narrowed instantly, and the sense of foreboding in his heart grew stronger.

Brother-in-law, do you still have another woman in your heart?! Is it that my older sister isn't attractive anymore, or that we two younger sisters-in-law are being naughty?!

"What did she say?"

"She didn't expect that I would know their president's name, and then she started asking me about my childhood."

Lin Qiu shrugged helplessly. That guy seemed particularly interested in the things he and Chen Xiao did when they were kids.

"Um—could I talk to her for a bit?"

Qin Xuan asked eagerly, his eyes gleaming with an unusual light.

After observing for a while during the day, I'm now going to have a go at this guy from Lungmen. If he threatens my older sister's existence, I'll have to take some special measures!

"Okay, but remember not to say anything inappropriate."

Lin Qiu didn't care and simply tossed the phone into her hand, then turned his attention to Ze Zhi's situation.

This guy's behavior is a bit unusual today. Did he get triggered by something?

Meanwhile, Qin Xuan, who had gotten his phone, quietly slipped over to the living room and started looking through the conversation between Lin Qiu and Shang Yan.

But before she could finish reading it, Shang Yan sent another message—

"Did you and the president do anything intimate when you were little?"

Intimate matters?

Qin Xuan raised an eyebrow, as if he had thought of something, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"It was nothing, just holding hands, I don't really remember."

"Huh? But the president said you two have already kissed."

"Um???"

Qin Xuan's pupils contracted, and he looked at Lin Qiu in the distance with some fear.

Lin Qiu's first kiss is gone?! Was it voluntary or forced?!

Damn it, that woman, did she foresee what would happen? That's why she acted so quickly!

Qin Xuan frowned, thought carefully for a moment, then calmed down and slowly typed in the new information.

"She must be mistaken. I clearly remember that it was my first kiss when I kissed Yunmo."

"Achoo-"

Qin Yunmo, who was drinking hot tea at the dining table, suddenly sneezed, rubbed his slightly red nose, and blinked his eyes in a daze.

Is someone talking behind my back?

Meanwhile, Shang Yan, upon receiving the message, fell into an eerie silence.

Actually, over there...
