To My Dear Mr. Huo

As soon as he turned around, he met Shi Mengwan's eyes, and his expression darkened.

If you still recognize me as your father, I won't allow you to be with him.

Dad. Shi Mengwan almost fainted. She couldn't help but turn around and look at Shi's mother: Mom, look at Dad -

She had just thought of stopping Shi's father from chasing people away, but unexpectedly she was still a beat too slow.

She took a few steps forward to open the door for Zhan Haoze. Dad Shi stood at the door. He stood there and refused to give in at all: Don't open the door.

dad.

Shi Mengwan was anxious. Seeing that the two father and daughter were about to get into a conflict, Shi's mother quickly stepped forward and pulled away. He said he was pulling away, but he was just trying to dissuade his daughter first.

Wanwan, you are tired from riding here this morning. You should go and rest first.

Shi's mother winked at Shi Mengwan. This will make Shi's father angry, so it's better not to confront Shi's father head-on.

But--

Before Shi Mengwan finished speaking, she saw Shi's father snort and then stood facing the door. That attitude showed no intention of getting out of the way.

Dad, Mom. Shi Mengwan had a headache: I have to go back to Lin City to work. You are not going to just lock me in at home and not let me go out, are you?

The studio is your own. If you take a few days off, just treat it as staying home with me and your mother.

Dad Shi looked at Shi Mengwan: Besides, don't think I don't know, you can still work online. There is WIFI on the computers at home. Just stay at home these days.

Dad, how could you do this? I'm such a big man, how can you restrict my personal freedom?

I'm not trying to restrict you. I'm doing it for your own good. If you really still recognize me as your father, you will agree to break up with that man named Zhan. As long as you break up, I will naturally let you go back.

Dad, can you please be reasonable?

Shi Mengwan didn't expect that even though she said so much, she couldn't move Dad Shi at all. She really didn't know what to do. .

Am I unreasonable? Let me tell you, I am doing this for your own good. That woman named Chen has a better family background than ours? That woman named Zhan doesn't even like her. She said the engagement was terminated. Do you think he can Will I be loyal to you forever?

I believe in him.

It's a pity that I don't believe it. Shi's father has the same view as Shi's mother in this regard.

Qi Dafei is not a coincidence. Since ancient times, it is the right thing to be a good match. If only the person named Zhan could make money so well and the conditions were so good. Not really a good match.

Dad. You haven't even gotten along with him, so you just say this. Isn't it too arbitrary?

Arbitrary? I am being arbitrary for your own good.

Dad Shi’s attitude was firm. Shi Mengwan was very helpless.

When Shi Mengru washed the dishes and went to school, Shi's father was still blocking the door, preventing Shi Mengwan from going out.

Shi Mengru stepped forward and looked at Shi's father, with a somewhat flattering expression on his face: Dad, just stop blocking my sister. I still have to go to school.

Father Shi glanced at his little daughter, and finally opened the door and let her go out.

Outside the door, Zhan Haoze was still standing there. When Shi Mengwan saw him, she moved on her toes.

But before she could take a step, Shi's father slammed the door shut again. He turned around and glared at Shi Mengwan.

Don't even think about going out today, I told you.

Dad. Shi Mengwan really didn't know that her own father had such a stubborn side.

The sun is also very bright in the yard. The courtyard gate of Shi Mengwan's house is the kind of iron gate that can often be seen in the countryside. There is no cover on it.

The sun is so strong, although Zhan Haoze is a grown man and he is not afraid of the sun. But him standing outside the yard like this made Shi Mengwan feel a little distressed.

Dad, just let him in. Can't you let him in if you have anything to say? He's standing outside like this. Are you afraid that the neighbors will gossip when they see it?

What are you talking about? Shi's father said indifferently: If he is afraid of being gossiped about, he can leave. If he doesn't stand there, no one will gossip?

Shi Mengwan's head was pounding. She looked at Shi's father and finally nodded: Okay, let him stand.

She turned and walked back into the house. Such easy compromise made Shi's father stunned for a moment, and then he became even more annoyed.

Turning around and looking at Shi's mother: What is she doing? Showing her face to me? Losing her temper?

What nonsense are you talking about? Shi's mother looked helpless as she watched the two fathers and daughters fighting: You have blocked someone's sweetheart from outside, and you still don't allow her to have a little temper?

She doesn't want to see her sweetheart being wronged, so she can let me, the father, be wronged, right?

Shi's father's words made Shi's mother stunned for a moment, and she immediately came to her senses. She laughed. He was afraid that Zhan Haoze outside would hear him, so his voice was very soft.

Are you jealous?

Dad Shi's face turned red: Who is jealous?

Why aren't you jealous? Shi's mother smiled even brighter now, and touched Shi's father's arm: You are not happy that this daughter is about to run away with another man. Not to mention that she still wants to protect her. Looking after her sweetheart, you won’t give any face to her—

What nonsense are you talking about? Shi's father was a little embarrassed and glared at Shi's mother: Anyway, I don't like such a man. I don't agree. Hmph.

After saying this, he also entered the house. When he entered the room, he found that Shi Mengwan had actually gone back to the room and ignored him, not even thinking of saying anything nice. His face turned even darker.

Shi Mengwan was in the room, looking at Zhan Haoze downstairs from the window. Unfortunately, his body was blocked by the door and she couldn't see it. After thinking about it, she took out her phone and sent him a message.

The sun is shining brightly, please go back to the car and sit down first.

Zhan Haoze took out his mobile phone and smiled when he saw the message: It's okay, I can't retreat at this time. I have to let your father see my sincerity in wanting to marry you, right?

Shi Mengwan was speechless when she saw the message he sent back. Looking at the word marry you on it, she replied: Did you make a mistake? You should let me see your sincerity first, right? ?After all, you didn’t even ask for marriage.”

Then I propose now and you marry me. Is that okay?

That's it? I don't want to agree.

Then what do I need to do to agree?

What do you think? Anyway, I don't want to marry you like this.

You should rest for a while. When you wake up, maybe your father will let me in.

You are so beautiful. Shi Mengwan did not doubt her father's determination at all: You are standing there looking at your wife. Maybe my father will agree to let you in.

Then let's make a bet. See if your father will let me in when you wake up from your nap.

Just bet. Shi Mengwan didn't believe it. When replying to the message, the corners of his mouth were raised, with a faint smile in his eyes: What will you do if you lose?

If I lose, I will listen to you in everything.

Okay. In Shi Mengwan's opinion, Zhan Haoze was doomed.

If I win. You will marry me.

Shi Mengwan was speechless when she looked at Zhan Haoze's message. How could she lose? She won't lose.

Okay. I'm going to take a nap now. If you can really let my dad let you in, I will marry you.

It's a deal.

It's a deal.

After replying to the message, Shi Mengwan actually went to sleep. I couldn't sleep at first. There was no sound from outside, thinking that Zhan Haoze must still be standing outside. I feel in a good mood for no reason.

When she was sleeping soundly, Shi's mother's voice woke her up.

Get up.

Shi Mengwan didn't understand where she was for a moment. She sat up and looked at Shi's mother.

mom?

Yes. When you wake up, go downstairs and talk about your marriage to Zhan Haoze.

... Shi Mengwan blinked: Mom, what did you say?

Since you're awake, go downstairs. Zhan Haoze is downstairs. Come down first. Let's take a look at your marriage and decide what to do.

Is there something wrong with her ears? What did Mama Shi say?

My marriage to Zhan Haoze?

Is there anyone else? Shi's mother clicked on her forehead: Okay, hurry up. I'll call your second uncle and third uncle to come over for a meal tonight. It's also a meeting with Zhan Haoze. Meet relatives.”

What kind of magic operation is this? Shi Mengwan couldn't understand now. After Shi's mother went out, she quickly got up, took care of herself in the shortest possible time, changed her clothes, and then hurried downstairs.

When I went downstairs, I realized that the atmosphere downstairs was a bit strange.

In addition to Shi’s father, Shi’s mother, and Zhan Haoze, there is also Grandma Shi? She was very surprised how Zhan Haoze got in. But before that, she said hello to Grandma Shi.

Grandma? Although I am not usually close to Grandma Shi, I still need to have basic courtesy.

Wanwan is back? It's so hot today, why don't you get more sleep? Grandma Shi seemed to be in a particularly good mood today. Seeing that Shi Mengwan not only didn't show the same expression as before.

... This sudden enthusiasm made Shi Mengwan feel flattered for a moment. She stood there without making any move.

Grandma Shi had already stepped forward and took Shi Mengwan's hand: Wanwan, look at you. Why didn't you tell grandma that you had a boyfriend? You had to bring him back a long time ago.

Shi Mengwan was held by Grandma Shi's hand, blinked, and looked at Zhan Haoze.

——My grandma let you in?

——Your father let me in.

--impossible. It would be easy for my father not to beat you, so how could he let you in?

——Your dad is right there, do you want to ask?

The eyes of the two people met in the air. In a few moments, I already understood a lot of meaning in the other person's eyes.

Shi Mengwan bit her lip and didn't wait for her to see Shi's father. Grandma Shi had already held her hand and sat down aside.

You're here just in time. I just happened to be saying, let's see what happens to this banquet.

Shi Mengwan found that she couldn't keep up with her grandma's thoughts. Why did she suddenly jump to the banquet?

Sure enough, she hasn't spoken yet. Father Shi's face darkened first: Mom, who said there was a banquet? Just stop making trouble. I haven't agreed to Wanwan's marriage yet.

What did you say? Grandma Shi's face suddenly changed. She stared at Dad Shi with dissatisfaction on her face: What are you talking about? You don't even agree with such a good son-in-law, but tell me, what else do you want? What kind of son-in-law? Huh? Is it possible that you still want your daughter to marry a president?

Mom. Father Shi's face turned green: That's not the case. He -

I know, he was originally engaged. What's wrong with being engaged? Don't say engaged. He is just married. Then shouldn't he be allowed to remarry after a divorce?

mom?

Father Shi has been Grandma Shi's son for many years, how could he not know that his mother is very good at messing around?

He told me about Haoze just now on the road. How big of a deal is it? Isn't it just an engagement? Since it's canceled, it means there is no fate. Now that he is going to be with Wanwan, then It means that he and Wanwan are the ones who are destined. Do you think so?

Dad Shi had a headache. Look, look, even Haoze called him. He looked angry, but the other person was his mother. There were outsiders here at this moment, and he didn't necessarily quarrel with Grandma Shi in front of outsiders.

On the other hand, Shi's mother, who has rarely stood on a united front with her mother-in-law in so many years, said: Yes, it still depends on fate between people.

Look, your wife said this, which means our Wanwan and Haoze are destined to be together.

Haoze, do you think so?

Zhan Haoze nodded with a look of approval: Yes, Wanwan and I have a deep fate.

That's right. Grandma Shi looked at Zhan Haoze and was satisfied: By the way, what does Haoze belong to?

I'm a dragon.

Look, look, look. Grandma Shi's eyes lit up now, and she looked at Dad Shi: Haoze is a dragon. Our Wanwan is a horse. The one who is a dragon and the one who is a horse, That’s a perfect match.”

puff. If Shi Mengwan was drinking water right now, he would definitely squirt it out.

She looked at Grandma Shi and realized for the first time that her grandma was also a talented person.

Mom. What age has it been? Do you still believe this? Shi's father now looked at Zhan Haoze even more displeased. But it still can't happen.

Why don't you believe it? Look at the Zhao family at the east end of the village. A man born in the year of dragon married a man born in the year of tiger. Dragons and tigers fight every day. What did Zhang Banxian, the fortune teller, say? He said that it is best for a man born in the year of dragon to marry a horse. Yes. A perfect match. A perfect match.

It was very hard for Shi Mengwan to endure the laughter. She couldn't help but look at Zhan Haoze and found that he was listening to Grandma Shi's nonsense with a serious look on his face. I can't help but sigh, this is really it.

Haoze, are you right?

Yes. Zhan Haoze was not impatient at all, but rather agreed: I have asked a few friends who have studied metaphysics before, and they also said that Wanwan and I are a good match.

Shi Mengwan had lowered her head now and didn't want to look at Zhan Haoze.

Why didn't she know that Zhan Haoze also had a serious time to talk nonsense?

That's what I'm saying. Since that's the case, let's settle things as soon as possible.

Grandma Shi thought for a while: This is a good year. You know, right? There will be no Beginning of Spring next year. It is the best year to get married this year.

I think so too. If possible, I hope to marry Wanwan as soon as possible.

You kid, I see you are a good person. Grandma Shi smiled like a flower. Shi Mengwan really couldn't stand it anymore, but the two in front of her were still going on.

Let's do this. I'll let Zhang Banxian see which day is suitable later.

Okay, I'll listen to grandma. Zhan Haoze nodded: Before choosing a good date, you can also get engaged first.

Mom. Shi's father couldn't stand listening anymore: I haven't agreed yet.

Why don't you agree? Grandma Shi stood up and looked at Dad Shi: When I didn't let you marry Wanwan's mother, wasn't it you who said it? Now marriage is independent and love is free. You said Times have changed, so we parents should not interfere in our children's marriage? Why do you want to interfere in Wanwan's marriage now that it's in your hands?

I - Shi's father was speechless.

Wanwan, let me ask you, was it you who brought Haoze back?

Yes. Shi Mengwan endured it very hard just now, and it will be even harder now.

You like him and he also likes you. You two are together voluntarily, right?

Yes. Shi Mengwan nodded vigorously regardless of Dad Shi's ugly expression.

Look - Grandma Shi spread her hands: Isn't it over now? Marriage is independent, love is free. You said so.

Mom—— Shi's father's head was getting big.

Okay, this matter is settled. Grandma Shi agreed on the spot: Wanwan, you accompany Haoze around the town, and I will discuss it with your father to see what happens to your marriage. Also, I have made the decision tonight. Let your second uncle, third uncle, and your aunt all come over for a meal. I also let him recognize his relatives.

I got it. Grandma. Shi's mother had said this just now, so Shi Mengwan was not surprised at all.

She took Zhan Haoze's hand and walked outside, walking a little fast. She was really afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would lose her composure.

This was the first time in such a long time that she discovered that her grandma had such a powerful function.

She did have some questions to ask Zhan Haoze. So he ignored Father Shi's fierce and sharp gaze and left the house with Zhan Haoze.

She took a nap, and the sun outside just wasn't that bright anymore. The clouds in the sky covered the sun, and a gust of wind blew over. Not only was it not hot, it also brought a burst of coolness.

Shi Mengwan breathed in the familiar fresh air of her hometown, turned around and looked at Zhan Haoze: Tell me, how did you do it?

Zhan Haoze didn't answer her question, just squeezed her palm: Don't worry about how I did it, did I win today?

Although he was very reluctant to admit it, he really won. Shi Mengwan nodded: Yes. You win.

So, you're going to marry me?

Tell me first, how did you do it?

Profit and inducement. Zhan Haoze threw out two words. Shi Mengwan blinked, thinking of Grandma Shi's usual personality: What benefits did you promise to my grandma?

Without waiting for Zhan Haoze to answer, she suddenly raised her hand: No, tell me first, how did you know you were going to find my grandma?

She didn't believe that Zhan Haoze had no help. The most likely possibility is: My sister, right? She must have told you to go find my grandma.

Smart, she is your sister. Zhan Haoze smiled, quite satisfied with this future sister-in-law: She asked me to find grandma.

Because Grandma Shi had a bad relationship with Shi's mother, and because she was angry with Shi's father for refusing to listen to her adoptive child, she had been living in her second uncle's and third uncle's homes in turns.

After Zhan Haoze received Shi Mengru's advice, he quickly went to find Grandma Shi. Of course, Shi Mengru was brought along.

Grandma Shi heard that he was Shi Mengwan's boyfriend, and then listened to Shi Mengru's introduction. I didn't even take a nap anymore, and suddenly I felt energetic.

Chatted with Zhan Haoze for a while. After Shi Mengru went to work, she made some insinuations and listened to Zhan Haoze's conditions.

I decided that this was the golden turtle's son-in-law. How could you let such a good man go?

It was rare for Shi Mengwan to be lucky. Grandma Shi was so happy to meet such a good man.

More importantly, Zhan Haoze graciously agreed to many of Grandma Shi's conditions.

What did you promise my grandma?

It's nothing. Zhan Haoze looked at Shi Mengwan's beautiful profile and avoided answering the question: To marry you, I don't think any conditions are insignificant.

Zhan Haoze.

That's because he doesn't understand what kind of person Grandma Shi is.

If he dares to agree to those conditions, Grandma Shi will have a way to ask for more like a bottomless pit in the future.

Don't worry. Grandma is still very sensible. It's really nothing.

Is Grandma Shi sensible? Shi Mengwan blinked and couldn't believe her ears: Zhan Haoze, what conditions did you agree to to my grandma? If you don't say it, I won't marry you.

It's really not a big deal. Zhan Haoze stopped and put his forehead against Shi Mengwan's, looking at her face with a bit of tenderness in his eyes.

I told you, those are nothing.

No matter what the cost, you are lucky to marry her.

After receiving those promises from him, Grandma Shi would naturally find a way to convince Dad Shi.

He has no intention of buying anyone with money, but if such a move works, he doesn't mind doing it.

What's more, although Grandma Shi sometimes looks out of tune, she really didn't come up with these things this time. But Zhan Haoze took the initiative to agree.

He probably knew that the relationship between Shi Mengwan and Grandma Shi was not very good, and he also knew that after so many years, there were some things in Shi Mengwan's heart that he could never forget.

If from his perspective, just a little financial contribution could make Grandma Shi agree to their marriage and make their relationship better, then why wouldn't he do it?

Zhan Haoze's words moved Shi Mengwan a little. She looked at Zhan Haoze, suddenly stood up on her tiptoes and kissed him on the lips.

Thank you, Zhan Haoze.

Her move made Zhan Haoze smile, obviously very satisfied with her initiative, but: That's it? Your thank you gift is still so insincere.

Shi Mengwan's face turned red: What else do you want?

It's nothing, I just want to remind you. Remember that you lost to me, and you have to marry me.

Shi Mengwan pulled her hand back and took a big step back: I don't. I haven't even proposed, so I won't marry.

Not marrying? Zhan Haoze narrowed his eyes and chased after Shi Mengwan.

Shi Mengwan ran away quickly, and the two of them chased each other on the road not far from the door of Shi's house. They didn't stop until Shi Mengwan met an acquaintance.

After Shi Mengwan took Zhan Haoze around the town and took her home again, she found that although Shi's father's face was still ugly, he did not say anything about driving Zhan Haoze out.

He looked at Zhan Haoze, his eyes still a little unhappy.

You, come with me.

Ha ha ha ha. Do you think Dad Shi will take action? Next chapter, continue.
