Chapter 907 907: Stirring Up Trouble Again
Chen Xuan pushed the door open and walked into the room, smiling as he greeted them, "Father and Mother-in-law, sorry to keep you waiting."
"Chen Xuan, you finally came over. Quickly explain to us what's going on here." Lin Zhiguo hurriedly said.
Zhang Ru had a cold expression, "Chen Xuan, if you don't explain clearly, I won't let this go!"
Lin Wanxi said softly, "Mom, Chen Xuan is already here. Let's hear what he has to say first."
She then looked at Chen Xuan, indicating with her eyes, is there a problem?
Chen Xuan nodded slightly, then said calmly, "I've just explained to my aunt, and she already understands what's going on."
"This matter is somewhat complicated and needs to be explained slowly with patience."
Lin Zhiguo quickly said, "Okay, no rush. We've got plenty of time. Take your time to explain."
He gestured to Zhang Ru to be patient and sit down to listen to Chen Xuan's explanation.
Zhang Ru snorted softly and sat there without saying anything.
Chen Xuan lit a cigarette and said softly, "About my aunt saying that I am in a relationship with Yiyi, let's put that aside for now and talk about my relationship with Zhang Yan because that's the root of the issue."
Huh?
Zhang Ru frowned, "How does this end up involving Zhang Yan?"
Chen Xuan shook his head and laughed, "Mother-in-law, remember when you first came to the Zhang Family, our relationship hadn't eased yet. Didn't Zhang Yan mention that we had a childhood engagement?"
What?
Zhang Ru looked shocked, "You and Zhang Yan had a childhood engagement? Was there such a thing? How come I don't remember?"
Lin Zhiguo frowned slightly, "Hmm, I remember Zhang Yan seemed to have said something like that. She said our daughter Wanxi picked up a man that she didn't want and treated him like a treasure."
"Chen Xuan, could you explain specifically what's going on?"
"Sure, this matter is related to the friendship between Uncle Zhang and my father." Chen Xuan said slowly as he explained the situation roughly.
Lin Zhiguo nodded slightly, "So that's what happened."
Zhang Ru frowned, "Even if you and Zhang Yan had a childhood engagement, that's in the past and doesn't count anymore."
"What does this have to do with my sister saying you and Yiyi are in a relationship?"
Chen Xuan sighed, "Mother-in-law, when Wanxi and I registered our marriage, you didn't agree."
"Later, in front of my aunt, you also denied this, right?"
Zhang Ru kept frowning, "So what?"
"That led to my aunt's misunderstanding!" Chen Xuan shook his head with a wry smile, "She didn't know Wanxi and I had registered, and thought you disapproved of our relationship."
"Last time when I treated Yiyi's father, she was very grateful to me and wanted to set Yiyi and me up together."
"I couldn't explain in detail, so the matter was left unresolved. However, I did mention to her that Zhang Yan and I had a childhood engagement."
"So, it all exploded at this moment."
Lin Zhiguo suddenly understood, "I get it! You used your childhood engagement with Zhang Yan as a way to indirectly refuse Zhang Hui, but she didn't take it seriously and assumed you were her son-in-law, wanting to marry Yiyi to you."
"After arriving at the Zhang Family, she met Zhang Yan and asked Zhang Hui about Yiyi's partner. Zhang Hui, mistaking it for Zhang Yan's provocation, directly said Chen Xuan is Yiyi's partner!"
Chen Xuan was secretly pleased; his father-in-law was like divine intervention, indirectly helping him wrap up the matter neatly.
"Father-in-law is absolutely right. That's exactly what happened." Chen Xuan nodded with a smile, giving an affirmative answer.
Zhang Ru still looked somewhat dissatisfied, "I don't know what's so good about you that my sister holds you in high regard and is even willing to marry Yiyi to you."
Lin Zhiguo said with displeasure, "You're the only one who doesn't appreciate Chen Xuan. In this regard, your sister Zhang Hui has much better judgment than you."
Zhang Ru snorted and changed the subject, "Let's not talk about whose judgment is better. Since that's the case, why didn't you explain it clearly in public earlier? Why did you have to come to the room to explain?"
Chen Xuan shook his head slightly, "Mother-in-law, is this something that can be explained in a few words?"
"Don't forget, Zhang Yan is now the daughter-in-law of the Zhu Family! Zhu Feng was also present. How could I say it?"
"Should I say in front of Zhu Feng that Zhang Yan and I had a childhood engagement, but I ignored her affection, so she chose to marry Zhu Feng? That would hurt Zhu Feng's self-esteem."
"It would also affect the relationship between the Zhu Family and the Zhang Family, wouldn't it?"
Lin Zhiguo immediately nodded in agreement, "That's right. Chen Xuan considered this very thoroughly. It's indeed not suitable for public explanation, especially in front of Zhu Feng; a man's self-esteem must be taken care of."
"Once it's all explained, it's just a misunderstanding. There's no need to dwell on it!"
Chen Xuan and Lin Wanxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Lin Wanxi even gave him a thumbs up.
They never expected that even in such a critical situation, he could resolve it so calmly. It's truly impressive!
Zhang Ru said nothing more and stood up, "No, I need to find Xiao Hui and clarify things."
"Chen Xuan and Wanxi are already registered. We can't let her have any other thoughts, and involving Yiyi is even more unacceptable!"
Once again, Chen Xuan and Lin Wanxi grew nervous.
They didn't expect Zhang Ru to stir things up again…
