It's almost dinnertime anyway, why don't we find a place for all of us to eat together?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Lin Wanxiu's eyes widened, her gaze as if she wanted to devour someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuecheng gave her a look that told her to calm down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daughter, your old man is treating you two to a meal, you can't give me that face, can you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu seemed uncertain, instinctively glancing at Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled and said, \"Since Uncle is treating us, how can we refuse? It looks like we'll get to enjoy a good meal today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, you're quite the smooth talker, kid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's get in the car first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the car, Su Ruochu and Chen Fan obediently sat in the back, while Lin Wanxiu sat in the passenger seat, her expression quite unpleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She seemed enraged by her husband's decision, occasionally turning her head to glare at her daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her mother's reaction, Su Ruochu simply let go and boldly reached out to link her arm with Chen Fan's, expressing her stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is my boyfriend, you can do whatever you want.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with this scene, Lin Wanxiu's chest heaved heavily, but her anger was suppressed by her husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car drove to a grand hotel called Minghao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuecheng smiled and introduced, \"This four-star hotel just opened recently. Let's go in and try their cuisine to see how it tastes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Su Ruochu instinctively turned to look at Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, this person had a serious expression, but his mischievous hand was already secretly using his fingers to tickle Su Ruochu's palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the newly opened hotel that Chen Fan had mentioned to Su Ruochu when they first met today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Su Ruochu had agreed back then, the two of them would have coincidentally run into Su Xuecheng and his wife coming to eat here, making the situation even more amusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuecheng booked a private room, then called over a server and looked at Chen Fan while holding the menu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Chen, what do you like to eat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled and shook his head, \"Whatever you order is fine, Uncle. I don't have any dietary restrictions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuecheng then looked at his daughter, \"Daughter, why don't you help order for Xiao Chen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu hesitated for a moment, then didn't stand on ceremony and took the menu, ordering several dishes all at once, all of Chen Fan's favorites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Su Xuecheng couldn't help but laugh, while Lin Wanxiu's face turned black with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuecheng casually ordered a few more dishes before handing the menu back to the server.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Chen, do you drink alcohol?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan waved his hand, \"No, Uncle, I don't usually drink.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, do you smoke?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan sat up straight, \"I won't lie to you, Uncle. I occasionally smoke a cigarette, but I'm not addicted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, you're quite honest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to his wife, Su Xuecheng always had a smiling expression on his face, seemingly with a decent first impression of Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wife on the side deliberately coughed, using her gaze to remind her husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why are you asking so much nonsense? Ask the important things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuecheng received his wife's eye signal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Xiao Chen, are you and Ruochu classmates?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan: \"Yes, we were deskmates in high school. Then we both got into Yunhai University.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuecheng's gaze fell on his daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't tell me... you two were dating since high school?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan quickly shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I admired Ruochu, but I only officially started a romantic relationship with her after we finished the exams.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuecheng showed an expression of understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that her husband had been asking nonsense for a while, Lin Wanxiu became displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She directly took back the conversation and stared at Chen Fan with a cold voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do your parents do for a living?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan remained calm, still answering with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My parents are ordinary rural folks. My dad works at a ceramics factory in town, and my mom is currently a farmer at home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lin Wanxiu's expression instantly fell, becoming even more unpleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shot an displeased glance at her daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the boyfriend you found?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not exploding right then and there already showed great restraint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu understood this look from her mother, and at this moment, she mustered her courage instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom and Dad, I'm with Chen Fan, and I hope to have your understanding and blessing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Wanxiu let out a cold snort: \"Understanding? How do you want me to understand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu was expressionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, I like Chen Fan. Whether you agree or not, I'm going to be with him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the mother and daughter were about to argue, Su Xuecheng hurriedly spoke up to mediate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright. Didn't we agree to have a nice meal together?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Chen, start eating. Try the dishes and see how the food from this restaurant tastes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled wryly and picked up his chopsticks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across from him, Lin Wanxiu suddenly let out a cold snort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Chen, eat more of what you like, because you may not always be able to afford it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reached out and pointed at the dish in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like this sea cucumber dish, the price is almost as much as many people's monthly salary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some dishes, not everyone can afford to eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Su Ruochu, sitting next to Chen Fan, puffed out her cheeks in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>",1418,"2026-06-05T15:06:40.702Z",1,"novelbin.me","7d06199bf1caf595ff99310ecca649fc0c58821341f32300e19756db47d9e02a","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-244","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-242",761,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-cover.jpg"]
