Chapter 153: Elbows Turned Outward
When Xu Rui and Yan Ran went out, they didn't know that his father-in-law was practicing his domineering color in front of the mirror.
While driving, Yan Ran asked in the passenger seat: "Are you still nervous?"
Xu Rui shook his head and said seriously: "I'm not nervous anymore. I thought about it carefully. You are right. I am so outstanding that there is no need to be nervous. Maybe when I go to your house, my family status will be higher than yours!"
"I hope you can think so." Yan Ran smiled, and her cell phone rang at that time. She answered it, "Hello, Mom, we will be there soon."
"Are you waiting impatiently?" Xu Rui asked after she finished the call.
"Isn't it? I can't wait to see you." Yan Ran seemed to be in a good mood, without any worries about "what if my parents don't like Xu Rui and break up the couple."
Although Yan Ran's family background is not as good as Xu Rui's, her life is also relatively good. Not long after, the car drove into a high-end residential area.
After parking the car, Xu Rui went upstairs with a large bag and a small roll. The woman who opened the door had a mature temperament and looked similar to Yan Ran. The years had not left too obvious marks on her face, so Xu Rui did not dare to make a rash judgment on her identity.
"Mom, I'm back."
Hearing Yan Ran's address, Xu Rui said, "Hello, Auntie, I'm Xu Rui."
Chu Hongxiu did not have the energy to urge her husband to practice his aura to intimidate Xu Rui before, and was very enthusiastic: "Come in, come if you want, why are you buying so many things, Xiao Ran, you don't stop him."
"I can't stop him."
"Then why don't you help get some."
"He wants to show off." Yan Ran took Xu Rui's arm.
This natural behavior made Chu Hongxiu's expression slightly playful, and she asked, "Only show off when you come?"
This question is full of murderous intent!
Xu Rui was about to speak, but Yan Ran said confidently: "What else?"
Chu Hongxiu stretched out her hand to pat Yan Ran twice, but because Xu Rui was there, she held back and just glared at him: "Girls are really not allowed to stay when they grow up."
Yan Ran pretended not to see it: "Where's my dad?"
"Here." At this time, Yan Ran's father Yan Xingmin came out, wearing glasses, giving people a very elegant feeling. Although he is old, his figure has not changed, and there is no sign of fatness. He has the charm of a mature man. He must have been handsome when he was young. With his and Chu Hongxiu's foundation, it is no wonder that they can give birth to such a beautiful daughter like Yan Ran.
"Hello uncle, I am Xu Rui." Xu Rui introduced himself again.
"Sit down." Yan Xingmin ignored his wife's reminder. Why scare young people when they come to visit? Young people nowadays don't buy this. If he makes his daughter unhappy, how will it end!
After finding a reason for himself, Yan Xingmin chose to be himself, more enthusiastic than Chu Hongxiu: "Come on, come on, sit down."
Xu Rui heard Yan Ran say that in her family, Yan Xingmin, as a father, dotes on his daughter more than Chu Hongxiu. In her family, the father usually plays the good cop and the mother plays the bad cop, or there is no bad cop at all, which makes Xu Rui very envious.
"I've seen the movie you made." As soon as he sat down, Yan Xingmin started talking nonstop.
Chu Hongxiu wanted to go to the kitchen to get a spatula and hit him. Shouldn't she know about her son-in-law's situation at this time? Why did he talk about movies?
But after thinking about it, she gave up. She watched the whole "Falling in Love at First Sight" at the beginning, and she also had a certain understanding of Xu Rui through the screen. Although what she saw on the screen should not be taken too seriously, the relationship between the two is still so good after the show ended for so long, and she is willing to believe her daughter's vision.
Thinking of this, she did not bother Yan Xingmin to talk about movies with them: "You guys chat, I'll go to the kitchen."
When Xu Rui heard this, he patted Yan Ran's hand: "You chat with uncle, I'll help aunt."
Standing up, Xu Rui smiled and said: "Aunt, you should have followed my and Yan Ran's flash account, I'm a good cook."
Chu Hongxiu smiled and said: "Okay, show me your skills."
"No problem." Xu Rui entered the kitchen, helped with the work, and chatted casually.
The topics of the chat were no different from those of ordinary families meeting their sons-in-law, nothing more than "What do your parents do" and "How many brothers and sisters are there in the family".
With Xu Rui's current popularity and Yan Ran's future development prospects, questions like "how many cars and how many houses" can be ignored, but even so, Chu Hongxiu was still a little surprised when she learned about Xu Rui's family background, and asked seemingly casually: "Is your family considered a wealthy family?"
Xu Rui could probably guess Chu Hongxiu's worries. In the minds of many people, once you enter a wealthy family, it's like entering a deep sea, and some outrageous ones are like ancient palace fighting.
He immediately explained: "What rich family? My grandfather, great grandfather, uncle and aunts were all soldiers. My father went into business and was looked down upon by my grandfather for many years. My family is a standard strict father and loving mother. My grandfather dotes on his grandchildren.
My brother, sister and I did not go to the legendary aristocratic school. I went to ordinary elementary school, middle school and high school. The monthly living expenses for college are 2,000 yuan. The growth experience of my brother, sister and I is not much different from that of ordinary families."
Chu Hongxiu knew that Xu Rui was trying to dispel her doubts and smiled: "But you are all very promising."
"This can only be attributed to genes, which is why Yan Ran is so beautiful and excellent!" Xu Rui flattered blatantly.
At this time, Yan Ran came in from outside: "It smells so good, let me see what we have for lunch!"
Chu Hongxiu said unhappily: "You smell so good before it's even in the pot. I don't know why you came here? Are you worried that I will embarrass Xu Rui?"
The little thoughts were exposed, and Yan Ran simply stopped pretending: "I'm just worried!"
Chu Hongxiu raised the shovel: "Little conscienceless, come here!"
"I won't go!" Yan Ran hid behind Xu Rui.
Xu Rui also saw that Yan Ran's growth environment was different from his, and her relationship with her parents was more relaxed and casual.
The lunch was very rich, with fish and meat. At the dinner table, Chu Hongxiu and Yan Xingmin did not mention those issues that easily put people under pressure. They chatted casually about recent current affairs, from stocks, funds to sports, and then to national affairs.
Xu Rui didn't quite understand whether there was a mystery in this. Was it to test his three views and foresight through these questions?
However, he soon abandoned these messy ideas. He preferred to believe that this was acceptance and recognition of him.
Just after lunch, Xu Rui and Yan Ran's phones rang one after another.
Xu Rui was called by Lu Ziliang: "Are you at Yan Ran's house?"
"Yes, Brother Liang, are you busy?"
Lu Ziliang said: "Nothing, why would I bother you? There is an OST resource here. The producer is Peng Hai. He likes you very much and wants to cooperate with you. Please write a theme song. I will send you the outline of the script. See if you are interested. If so, I will tell you in detail."
"Okay, send it to me." Xu Rui did not refuse.
While he was on the phone, Yan Ran received a call from the Haibao platform. Haibao had money and scripts and wanted to cooperate with her.
After hearing what she said, Chu Hongxiu and her husband looked at each other and felt that their daughter was an adult with her own career.
