The two of them went to the nearby shopping mall. Mo Wen chose a massage chair for the old man and bought a tie and cuff links for Lu Chen's father and uncle. The ladies were different types of scarves and a set of skincare products. When the bill was settled, Mo Wen insisted on swiping his card. Lu Chen knew her stubbornness and did not argue with her.
The car drove towards the outskirts of the city. Seeing that they were getting closer to their destination, the heart that had finally calmed down with great difficulty began to sweat.
Lu Chen detected her nervousness and joked, "You don't have to be so nervous. We aren't ugly wives just because we're warm, so why should we be afraid of meeting our parents-in-law?"
"I'm not nervous." Mo Nuan was stubborn.
Lu Chen smiled and did not say anymore.
"Lu Chen, why don't you tell me what your family does?" It's about to be my turn, Mo Nuan felt that she should properly understand his family.
Grandpa is the retired military commander, dad is the military commander, but he's already old and has moved to the second string, most of the time he's working as a commissar, his mom is the chairman of the company, and now he basically doesn't have to worry about it anymore, only some big things will happen, Uncle is the mayor of A city, Aunt is a painter, she has her own art gallery, and her cousin is in her second year. "My parents and grandpa are living together in the military compound, while my uncle and I live in the city. We only return to the compound when we have nothing better to do.
Lu Chen's words were simple, but the amount of information contained inside made Mo Nuan's head buzz, and he looked at Lu Chen in disbelief for a moment. Although she was not clear about the matters of the troops, he still had some basic common sense, and knew the concept of the commander of the army, and the commander of the army, these words.
Some things flashed through her mind, and Mo Nuan held her breath for a moment as she looked at Lu Chen, "What's the name of your company?"
"Lu Group." Lu Chen said blandly, as if she did not feel that the name she had said had any impact on Mo Nuan at all.
Mo Nuan felt as if the string in her head had suddenly snapped. She grinded her teeth in hatred and couldn't help but raise her voice, "Lu Chen, do you feel a sense of accomplishment lying to me?" She felt like a fool, that she had put everything in front of him, that he was hiding even the most basic of family situations.
Lu Group was one of the top companies in the entire country. It was also a very successful multinational company with branches all over the country. This man actually told her that she was only running a small company. If it was a small company like this, the other companies in the A Group wouldn't need to mix in. They would just simply go back and forth.
Lu Chen looked at her angry little face, surprise flashed past his eyes, and then she smiled and said, "I never thought of lying to you, in my eyes, it's just a small company. Looking around the world, there are many other companies like this."
If an ordinary woman were to hear about a family like his, she would probably secretly rejoice. How could she be angry? He didn't know why, but he was secretly glad that he didn't tell the truth at the time. Otherwise, where else would he be able to find such an infamous wife?
The corner of Mo Nuan's mouth twitched, she was a little speechless. She had high expectations, but she wasn't unambitious.
Obviously not.
"But do you have to be so outrageous? Is your language taught by a physical education teacher? "So you don't know how to use modifiers." He actually used the term 'small' to describe it. Even if he used a rather nice description to describe it, she would still be able to accept it.
Lu Chen looked at Mo Nuan innocently, "If I were to say that the size of my company is not bad, I'm afraid that you would be demoted from the fifth brother of the diamond king to the third son, so you might as well treat yourself as a tramp from the start, so that you won't waste any effort."
Mo Nuan did not ignore the smile in his eyes.
"Since we've already boarded a pirate ship, we can no longer go down."
Thief ship, she had basically fallen into a golden nest.
Mo Nuan did not reply, she continued to digest the shocking news, then suddenly thought of something, and could not help but turn sullen, "Then when I was buying the gifts just now, you should have reminded me." For a family like this, the gift she bought was simply too shabby. She simply could not bring it out.
Of course Lu Chen knew what she was thinking, and used a free hand to pinch her face, "Silly girl, don't give yourself too much pressure, the people of my family are already baffled by my intention to marry me, they know that I have this intention to keep all of my household books with me, and if I see a suitable person, I have to grasp the opportunity, they are so impatient, so how would they care about your gift. To them, you are already their biggest gift, the other things can't even compare to you." His family wasn't shallow people either. They mainly took a fancy to a person's character and didn't have any concept of family background.
"Haha …" Mo Nuan suddenly realized something, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud. She had been wondering why his marriage certificate was like this all those years ago.
"But you deserved it." Mo Nuan continued to add insult to injury.
"Are you happy?" Lu Chen caressed her face.
Mo Nuan immediately retracted the smile on her face. With a taut face, she said in all seriousness, "Lu Chen, you really have failed too badly." The scenes she had heard about forcing a blind date before were nothing, and that was her ultimate move. He really did make people worry. She actually made her family think of such a method.
Lu Chen rubbed her nose, pretending to think about it, "Hmm, it's actually not too big of a failure.
"Are you saying I'm too easy to seduce?" Mo Nuan squinted her eyes.
Lu Chen raised her eyebrows, "How could that be? My wife has good eyes and great luck, where can she find such a rich and handsome man like me?"
"Narcissist." "But the gift I chose seemed to be inappropriate. Father is a soldier, yet I chose the tie for him."
"It's fine, dad occasionally has to do business with mom, it's all useful."
Because it was winter, when he arrived at the courtyard, it was already dark. There were soldiers standing guard at the entrance, watching as they walked in and gave them a military salute. Then, he opened the door and let them in with a smile.
"Brother A Chen, the old commander has already been out for a few times already, and he even told me to directly let him pass, is this my sister-in-law?"
Lu Chen nodded and introduced, "This is Xiao Li."
Mo Nuan blushed at the name, and smiled: "Hello."
