Chapter 1163
Chapter 1163
It's October now, and I'll tell Li Yifei and the others that unless it's absolutely necessary, I'll stay in this courtyard and not go anywhere else!"
"Well... Scorpion and the others can't protect you at close range." Edwards' eyes were serious.
Chen Pingan laughed, "You underestimated the Chen family's strength in martial arts. You may not know that Grandpa Zhao was once a master in the capital!
Besides, there are at least 20 or 30 young people in this yard, but you can only see a few of them."
Edwards suddenly said, "No, no, no, I have a better idea."
His eyes sparkled. "It would be best if you could persuade Professor Lan to move in."
After a moment's silence, Chen Pingan stood up and said, "First, I need to ask Grandpa for his opinion. If Grandpa agrees, I will ask her opinion.
If Grandpa agrees, I will try to let her live in the inner courtyard."
Edwards also stood up and said, "I suddenly forgot one thing. The gift I gave Professor Lan this morning was missing something that she could use professionally.
I'm going to buy the best brushes and paints and put them in the yard."
Chen Pingan stopped him with a helpless look, "No, this is her private matter, I can't interfere directly.
Besides, she doesn't need the money."
……
After Lanxiang left, Chen Zi'ang has been waiting for Chen Ping'an.
This girl was different from any other girl he had ever met.
As people get older, they become more accurate in judging people.
He could see that Lanxiang had very good upbringing and even her family conditions were quite good, but what made him and Lao Zhao like her was that this girl's respect came from the heart.
This is very rare.
Although Ping An is indeed a worthy child, in this world, there are very few things that are not done for profit, even for love.
Isn’t family marriage a combination of interests?
He was waiting for Chen Ping'an to come and explain to him why the girl came to visit.
You should know that no young woman from another family has come to this courtyard for at least ten years.
……
"Will you marry her?"
The one who asked the question was Chen Zi'ang, but he and Butler Zhao stared at Chen Ping'an without blinking, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
He didn't want to deceive the old man, but it was too soon to talk about marriage.
"Maybe in the future, but not now."
"What do you mean by 'should'? If it does, it does. If it doesn't, it doesn't! How can marriage be treated as a joke?"
The old man was a little angry.
"Tell me the whole story of how you first met."
The dog in the yard lay on a torn mat, stretched, then went into the room and curled up at the old man's feet.
Chen Pingan finished his speech in less than ten minutes. Although it was not very detailed, he covered all the important points.
“…I haven’t asked her yet if she wants to move in.
If she has no objection, let her live in the inner courtyard with you two elders, and you can ask her to help take care of her from time to time.
Edwards and I still live in the outer courtyard."
Butler Zhao immediately said: "We have people to take care of us, and so many young men can work, so it's not her turn to help.
It would be a good thing if you could get married soon."
Chen Ziang nodded, "Yes, if she is willing, I have no objection.
It's up to her to arrange the room and stuff, she has the manpower and stuff, and can arrange it at any time."
Since the old man has agreed to this matter, no one in the Chen family can object, and they don't even have the qualifications to do so.
Because this courtyard has been the old man's personal property from the beginning. It can be given to the Chen family, but it is limited to his own sons and grandsons.
After Chen Pingan returned to his room, he thought for a long time and decided to wait until he met Lanxiang to ask her opinion in person.
On Monday, Lanxiang only had two classes in the morning. After class, she returned to the office, packed up, and prepared to call Chen Pingan.
She planned to have a meal in the school cafeteria at noon, and after work in the afternoon she wanted to go see where Chen Pingan worked now.
She called Chen Ping'an and learned that he was in the courtyard, so she drove over by herself.
At this time, Chen Ping'an had already finished his meal and started his afternoon trading, but he still came out to greet them in person.
Edwards was delighted.
But I really need to focus on work, so after a simple greeting, I went about my own business.
Lanxiang did as she said. She took a book and sat aside to read quietly.
Chen Pingan didn't have time to accompany her, so he and Edwards sat side by side and worked together.
Lanxiang read a book, adding some hot water for them from time to time, and occasionally glanced at the curve on the computer screen.
After closing, Edwards said he was going out to buy something and left, leaving the room to the two of them.
Lanxiang put down the book, looked at him and said, "My mother called me last night..."
Chen Pingan looked at her quietly.
"Someone told them that I was in frequent contact with you and even mentioned that we were going to Hebei together."
"and then?"
"I told my mother."
"What did you say?"
"I said you are my boyfriend." Lanxiang said, biting her lip.
This was a little gesture she made when she was nervous.
Chen Ping'an had discovered it a long time ago.
This action was once performed during the bonfire dinner in Vienna.
He remembered it clearly.
But this is not important now. He wants to know what Lanxiang's mother said.
"I remember your dad checked my information, so to them, apart from the trip to Hebei, I'm basically invisible, right?"
"My mother said that she will find time to come to Beijing as soon as possible!" Lanxiang said this calmly while sitting quietly on the sofa.
Chen Pingan suddenly felt inexplicably nervous.
He didn't want to continue this topic.
"I discussed this with Edwards yesterday, and he thinks the best approach is for you to move in and find a clean, sunny room for you to live in.
How about having someone pick you up and drop you off at get off work?
By the way, my grandfather has already agreed. It depends on your opinion."
Chen Pingan pretended to be calm and said the most important sentence.
"My grandfather asked me when he would marry you, and I said it depends on you."
Nonsence!
Chen Zi'ang never said that!
Butler Zhao didn’t say that either!
The dog didn’t mean that!
In Lanxiang's memory, Chen Pingan rarely lied to others, and he probably never lied to her, so she believed it immediately.
“I can’t answer you this, I have to wait for my mother to come.
I can’t make the decision on this matter myself.”
Her cheeks flushed slightly, but she answered the question head-on.
"But what you just said about moving in? This has to wait until my mom comes. I can't agree to it now.
Although I know that would be better for you, but...it really can't be done."
