Chapter 90: I Must Marry Her

Auntie, don't be angry; women who get angry too often will get wrinkles. Every time I'm with Yu Ke, I'm just like you, half-dead from anger.

Luo Zihan took the opportunity to complain about Yu Ke in front of Mrs. Su.

"Luo Zihan, what are you saying? Are you tattling here?"

Yu Ke retorted.

"No, I'm stating facts."

Luo Zihan shook her head.

"Hey, is this your friend? Su Yu Ke?"

Only then did Mrs. Su notice Luo Zihan and Liuli; if Luo Zihan didn't speak, Mrs. Su and Mr. Su wouldn't have noticed the two of them at all.

Mr. Su also looked toward Luo Zihan and Liuli, his gaze settling on them.

"This is!"

Yu Ke only pulled Liuli in front of Mrs. Su and Mr. Su, completely ignoring Luo Zihan; she really wanted to smash Yu Ke's head.

"Hello, Auntie. Hello, Uncle."

Liuli quickly shouted.

"This girl is really pretty."

Mrs. Su just stared at Liuli's face.

"Thank you, Auntie."

Liuli felt a bit embarrassed being praised.

"Of course not; how could my friend Su Yu Ke be ugly? People say good-looking people hang out with good-looking people."

Liuli thought she was being complimented, but it turned out to be an indirect compliment to herself.

"Your mom said that girl is pretty; what does that have to do with you?"

Mr. Su said.

"Exactly."

Mrs. Su also said.

"Of course it's related to me! If it weren't for me, could you have met someone this good-looking?"

"Child, what's your name?"

Mrs. Su directly skipped over Yu Ke and asked Liuli.

"I'm Chu Liuli, and this is Luo Zihan."

Liuli, fearing Luo Zihan would feel slighted, introduced Luo Zihan to Mr. and Mrs. Su.

"Liuli, Luo Zihan, you're both so pretty."

Mrs. Su smiled while taking Luo Zihan's and Liuli's hands.

"Thank you, Auntie! Auntie, you're also beautiful, young and pretty!"

Luo Zihan was delighted to be praised.

"You have a sweet mouth; when Auntie was your age, she wasn't nearly this good-looking."

Mrs. Su said this with a smile; Yu Ke really wanted to roll her eyes, knowing Mrs. Su loves hearing such flattery.

"Don't be modest, Auntie; you must have been even more beautiful when you were young, but why didn't you pass any of your beauty on to Yu Ke?"

Luo Zihan deliberately said it very seriously, making Yu Ke so angry she felt like vomiting blood.

Mr. Su laughed along, hearing Luo Zihan's words.

"Dad, what are you laughing at? What she said isn't right, yet you're still laughing? I'm naturally beautiful, right? Luo Zihan, can't you speak properly?"

After Yu Ke finished, Mr. Su began talking about Luo Zihan.

"You are naturally beautiful; I didn't say otherwise. I just said Auntie was far more beautiful when she was young, and you don't resemble her at all."

"This child of mine just likes hearing others praise her; say something truthful and she won't want to listen."

Mrs. Su said to Luo Zihan and Liuli.

"Dad, can you stop laughing? Am I still your daughter? She says I didn't inherit my mom's looks, so that means I inherited yours—she's talking about you!"

"Uncle, I didn't mean that!"

Luo Zihan hurriedly explained, doubting Yu Ke's comprehension.

But what Yu Ke said also made sense: if she didn't inherit Mrs. Su's traits, then she must have inherited Mr. Su's.

"I know, you're talking about her, not me."

Mr. Su laughed.

"Fine, you still want to see the groom? I won't let you."

Yu Ke stormed over to the dressing table and sat down.

"Why are you still angry? I was just joking!"

Luo Zihan hurried over to console her, since Yu Ke is getting married today and she can't afford to anger her.

She's just quick-tongued, saying whatever comes to mind—just now Yu Ke had slighted her.

She only introduced Liuli to Mr. and Mrs. Su, so she couldn't help but retort a few more times.

"I'm angry, Luo Zihan—I won't let you be my bridesmaid!"

"I know you're just venting; I don't believe you. You definitely want me to be your bridesmaid in your heart. Regardless of whether you allow it, I want to be— you're my best friend; who else would I be bridesmaid for if not you?"

"Am I your best friend? Are you serious?!"

Yu Ke retorted.

"Of course I'm serious! You and Liuli are both my best friends!"

"If you're my best friend, why are you retorting like this?"

Isn't it that beating is affection and scolding is love?

I don't believe it, go aside!

Oh dear, don't get angry—getting angry will give you wrinkles; I was wrong, isn't that okay?

Zihan begged for mercy.

Liuli had seen them like this countless times—could it really be that beating is affection and scolding is love?

Anyway, Madame Su and Yu Ke get along the same way; Liuli thinks it's pretty good, and such a life wouldn't feel boring.

She used to want to live plainly and peacefully with her grandmother, spending each day well, never having argued with her.

She also never talked back to her grandmother; she just wanted to be an obedient child by her grandmother's side.

Just as her grandmother actually liked her coming first, she didn't like studying, but she would still want to study hard to make her grandmother happy, and also for the scholarship.

Now she looks at Yu Ke and his family, she really feels envious, and she doesn't even know who her own parents are.

The doubt in her heart hasn't been resolved—whether she is actually Si Yun, she also doesn't have time to go to the Chu family to ask.

If she went, she wouldn't know how to face it.

If it really is, what should she do then?

I'll forgive you first, seeing as I'm in a good mood today; next time I won't forgive you.

Okay!

Gu Die, I feel a bit nervous.

Bai Xu, experiencing this kind of situation for the first time, also didn't know what to do, so he could only go find Gu Die.

Looking for Gu Die was useless, after all Gu Die had never experienced this kind of situation either.

Before, he wanted to propose to Liuli; he was also very nervous, but later he didn't end up proposing.

What's there to be nervous about?

I don't know either—there are so many people, I don't know what to do in a moment.

I also don't know.

Gu Die answered coldly.

That's right, you also don't have this experience, but you've sort of experienced it—aren't you nervous?

I'm fine, unlike you who's so timid.

Gu Die teased.

Others don't care, but I haven't even met Yu Ke's parents yet—what if they don't like me?

When Bai Xu gets nervous, his words and questions increase.

It's not that they don't like you and Yu Ke doesn't like you; you like Yu Ke, not them.

But they are Yu Ke's parents, my future parents-in-law; first impressions are also important, right?

Hmm.

Gu Die nodded, he was thinking, why is Bai Xu talking so much today?

Look at how I am today?

Bai Xu stood straight, saying, so Gu Die could see what he's wearing today and how his hairstyle is.

Pretty good, not bad.

Gu Die answered perfunctorily.

Don't be so perfunctory, okay?

Bai Xu could tell at a glance how perfunctory Gu Die's answer was.

I'm speaking sincerely, not being perfunctory.

Are you still my brother? Can't you be reliable!

How else should I be reliable?

Gu Die countered.

"Fine, you're not my brother anymore!" Bai Xu just saw Cheng Li, and after saying that, went to find Cheng Li.

Gu Die also didn't care about him; he was nervous and couldn't help it, he didn't know what to do.

He also couldn't make him nervous; after all, Gu Die is just a straight man.

Cheng Li, quickly look at how I am today?

Bai Xu again stood straight and asked Cheng Li.

Pretty handsome.

Cheng Li answered.

Can you put some thought into it?

What I said isn't right? Then it's not handsome?

I'm about to meet my parents-in-law soon; looking at this outfit, will they like it?

Cheng Li thought for a moment before figuring out who Bai Xu meant by parents-in-law.

Looking at Bai Xu's white suit today, he really is handsome.

A mature and sunny feeling.

Sure, this is pretty good.

Your answer is just like that guy Gu Die's.

Bai Xu complained, it seems he found another unreliable person.

That shows we're stating the fact; do you want to hear the good or the bad?

Of course it's the good!

Well, what we said is fine—I really can't figure you out.

Well, I'll believe you for now, but I'm still a bit nervous—what should I do?

Bai Xu sat down beside Cheng Li, nervously drinking the wine placed on the table.

Being nervous is normal; you don't even look nervous, don't worry, it's nothing—once you go up, it'll be over soon.

I think the same way, but I can't help being nervous—it's so embarrassing.

What's there to be embarrassed about? Who knows, on my wedding day I might be even more nervous than you.

Cheng Li comforted Bai Xu.

He always dislikes such crowded occasions, just like Liuli, so he always stays only with Liuli.

Just the two of them—no need for anyone else to worry.

Really?

Bai Xu laughed, and only then did he relax a little.

I think so—you're in great shape today; do well later.

I'll do my best.

Bai Xu replied.

Come on.

Cheng Li cheered him on.

Bai Xu, Yu Ke's parents want to see you first!

Zi Han searched for a while before finally spotting Bai Xu's figure, and didn't even have time to say anything to Cheng Li.

Who wants to see me?

Upon hearing about Yu Ke's parents, Bai Xu couldn't help but confirm, and just hearing the word 'parents' made him flustered.

Yu Ke's parents!

They're back? Where are they?

Bai Xu asked.

Cheng Li frowned beside him, his brows knotted, and Zi Han didn't even greet him, acting as if he didn't exist.

They're in Yu Ke's room—let me call you to go see them.

Zi Han pulled Bai Xu along while saying:

Cheng Li's face grew colder.

I'm not ready yet…

Bai Xu was beating a retreat in his heart.

What's there to prepare? You're fine as you are—they just want to see what you look like and see who stole their daughter.

Seeing Bai Xu's nervousness, Zi Han found it rather amusing and proceeded to scare him.

Then I'm doomed?

What doom? Maybe they'll take a liking to you as a son-in-law; if they don't, they just won't marry you.

No way—I must marry her.
