If you don't believe me, Auntie, I can go and get it to show you. It's definitely an authentic product.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Wanxiu gave Chen Fan an odd look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, she didn't doubt that the jade bracelet was genuine. She could tell at a glance that it was a top-quality item. She was just curious about where Chen Fan got so much money from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuecheng understood what his wife's expression meant, so he smiled and put the jade bracelet back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Chen, the gift is too expensive. We can't accept it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One can't gain what one doesn't deserve. You should take everything back with you when you leave later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan sat up straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle, Auntie, I didn't just come here for a casual visit. I want to have an open and honest discussion with you two elders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I like Ruochu, and I hope you two will agree to let us date.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Su Xuecheng and his wife were visibly stunned for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Wanxiu's expression turned cold and unpleasant again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuecheng, on the other hand, looked at Chen Fan with an expression of amused disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going straight to the point as soon as they sat down?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are young people really this direct when it comes to dating nowadays?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem...this...let's not rush, we can chat for a bit first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuecheng didn't answer the question directly and put the gifts back in front of Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These things aren't cheap. You must have spent quite a bit of money. Take them back with you when you leave. We really don't need them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu seemed a bit nervous on the side, \"Dad...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuecheng glanced at his daughter and smiled, \"Daughter, we have a guest. Why are you just sitting there? Go and get the tea leaves from the kitchen. Brew some tea for Xiao Chen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu got up and went to the kitchen in a huff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sending his daughter away, Su Xuecheng smiled and examined Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Chen, sit wherever you like, no need to be nervous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have some fruit. These oranges are very sweet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he said this, he took an orange and handed it over. Chen Fan just smiled and accepted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his wife giving him meaningful looks, Su Xuecheng cleared his throat and put on the demeanor of a family elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Chen, how long have you and my daughter been dating?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan promptly sat up straight, \"Over two years. We were high school deskmates, and we confirmed our relationship when we graduated from high school.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, I see. It seems this girl has been hiding it from us for quite a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard that when you found out she was applying to Yunhai University, you also applied there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something like that. She actually helped fill out my college choice for the high school exam.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her husband rambling on without getting to the point, Lin Wanxiu became impatient and interrupted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Last time we had a meal, I already told you that you two are not suitable for each other.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I remember correctly, I also told you to stay away from my daughter then, but it seems you didn't listen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan nodded, \"Auntie did say that last time. But...I feel that Ruochu and I are quite suitable for each other.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Wanxiu glared at him, \"Suitable? In what way do you think you're suitable?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In ancient times, when it came to marriage, people considered whether the families were well-matched. Although it's a new era now, even if you don't need to match family status when dating, at the very least, the two families should be relatively similar, without too much disparity, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You and my daughter probably come from completely different family backgrounds and grew up in very different environments with different lifestyles and habits, don't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled and nodded, \"Auntie makes a good point. But...I think as long as two people truly love each other, family isn't a problem, nor is the environment, and habits are even less of an issue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Wanxiu suddenly let out a derisive laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not a problem? How is it not a problem?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you planning to have my daughter live in the countryside with you later?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me make it clear to you, I don't agree with you two. If it weren't for her father insisting on seeing you, I wouldn't even have let you through our door today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Su Xuecheng smiled and took over the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Chen, you need to understand your aunt's perspective. After all, we only have this one daughter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan nodded, \"I completely understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I had a daughter in the future and she suddenly started dating a boy during her studies, I would feel anxious too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, Uncle and Auntie, I really understand how you feel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the reason I've come here is to have a proper discussion with you, so you can fully understand me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuecheng was a bit amused, never expecting Chen Fan to be so persistent and show no signs of backing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understand? We already understand you very well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Wanxiu said in an unpleasant tone, \"Although we're not from some wealthy family, we run our own small company, and we're able to save some money every year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me ask you, what about your family? What can you promise my daughter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Chen Fan was about to speak, Su Ruochu came over with a tea tray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She first poured a cup for her father, then one for Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lastly, she deliberately didn't pour one for her mother and even dragged over a chair to sit right next to Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his daughter express her defiance in this way, Su Xuecheng felt a bit helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly a daughter who has left the nest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starting to side with outsiders now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuecheng didn't want things to become too embarrassing, so even if he had to reject Chen Fan, he didn't want to ruin the friendly atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, before his wife could speak again, Su Xuecheng smiled and changed the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, that's right. I heard from my daughter that you're currently self-employed in business?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan nodded, \"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Entrepreneurship is not easy. Are you able to balance it with your studies?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled wryly and shook his head, \"To be honest, it's not really balanced. My main focus now is more on the business.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuecheng took a sip of his tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you've basically given up on pursuing a master's degree or taking the civil service exam?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. I don't think those two paths really suit me. I'm the kind of person who enjoys freedom and not being bound by anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Entrepreneurship suits me better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lin Wanxiu let out another derisive laugh, perhaps mocking Chen Fan's overconfidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, my daughter will take the civil service exam in the future. I hope after she becomes a civil servant, she'll meet a more outstanding man...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu pouted, \"Not possible. In my eyes, Chen Fan is already the most outstanding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\" Lin Wanxiu was so angered by her daughter that her chest heaved up and down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuecheng quickly intervened to change the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, you've talked about entrepreneurship, but what exactly is your business?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan adjusted his seating posture and put down his teacup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle, Auntie, let me briefly introduce my current situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Chen Fan, I'm 20 years old, and I was Su Ruochu's high school deskmate. My parents are from rural areas, my father works in a ceramics factory, and my mother is a laid-off farmer. As for me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm currently self-employed in business. I've opened an internet cafe, and I'm also building a club...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An internet cafe?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A club?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuecheng and his wife were quite surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, they had assumed Chen Fan's so-called self-employment was probably just setting up a small stall selling knick-knacks and learning some basic business skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now it seemed that the situation was quite different from what they had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuecheng frowned at Chen Fan and asked, \"These...don't seem that easy to start up, do they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did you get the startup capital?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan glanced at Su Ruochu beside him and smiled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The startup capital was what I earned during the summer vacation after the college entrance exam. Back then, I ran a website that was later acquired.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I sold it for 5 million yuan. After that, I used those 5 million yuan to...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phew!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Chen Fan could finish, Su Xuecheng suddenly choked on his tea and sprayed it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How...how much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"5 million?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1513,"2026-06-05T15:06:40.702Z",1,"novelbin.me","befd9b58e46af926963645d7a2b38d0b6c2f9fb20bca52a7e4034abf08ce858f","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-79","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-78",761,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-cover.jpg"]
