Chapter 24

The person who answered the phone was Chu Nanzhou’s mother Fu Yunhua.

“Mom, it’s me! Time is tight, so I won’t go home! Xiaobao and I will take the train directly to the Great Northern Wilderness.”

Fu Yunhua was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes to look at the family of three sitting in the living room, frowned, turned around, turned his back to the living room, and said in a low voice:

“Didn’t we agree to stay at home for a few days before leaving? Why did you change again?”

Chu Nanzhou said calmly: “Something happened!”

Fu Yunhua frowned: “When are you leaving?”

“Tomorrow afternoon!”

“So fast!”

Chu Nanzhou raised his hand and pinched his brows: “Mom, I’ll call you when I have time!”

“What about Xiaobao?”

“I’ll take it with me!”

“What do you mean together? You want to take Xiaobao to the Great Northern Wilderness, son. He is only two years old. Apart from anything else, the natural environment of the Great Northern Wilderness is too harsh and not conducive to Xiaobao’s growth. You should listen to mom and leave Xiaobao in Beijing. Don’t worry, your father and I will definitely take good care of Xiaobao!”

“Mom, I’ve made up my mind!”

“Nanzhou, to tell you the truth, your Uncle Su and Aunt Su brought Manzhi home, and they were talking about you two in the living room. Your Aunt Su meant for us to take care of Xiaobao. Oh, Xiaobao’s affairs are easy to deal with, and we can discuss it when you come back.

Your father and I were thinking, you will be 27 after the Chinese New Year, you are not young anymore, Manzhi is one year older than you, she has been waiting for you for so many years,

How about we arrange your marriage with Manzhi first? Are you busy there?

Can’t you spare half a day to come back and have a meal with the Su family? Arrange the marriage before leaving!”

After Fu Yunhua finished speaking, he turned around and met Su Manzhi’s phoenix eyes. To say that Su Manzhi’s appearance, Fu Yunhua was still very satisfied.

He is just one year older than Chu Nanzhou.

Chu Nanzhou was indeed stunned. After a moment, he chuckled softly, his voice calm and a little cold:

“Mom, I’ve never mentioned my feelings to you. How did you and father know that I wanted to marry Su Manzhi? This time I’m going to the Great Northern Wilderness, and I’ll be there for at least three years. During this time, I have no plans to get married!”

After a pause, he suddenly thought of Sheng Kangning, and the pair of wet eyes appeared in front of him, and he changed the subject:

“Even if we are going to get married, the partner won’t be Su Manzhi!”

Fu Yunhua was dumbfounded, and when he looked at Su Manzhi again, his eyes were full of disbelief.

Su Manzhi has been a favorite since she was young. She is prudent and sweet-spoken. Everyone in the compound likes this girl. She was admitted to medical school at the age of 18. After graduation, she was assigned to the military hospital because of her excellent grades.

She is beautiful, has a good job and a gentle personality.

Fu Yunhua knew that many of the boys in the compound liked Su Manzhi.

It’s because Su Manzhi only has eyes for her own son, Chu Nanzhou, that bastard.

Listen to what this is saying!

Fu Yunhua still remembers that when his son was 21 years old, he finally went home for the New Year. When he returned to the compound, Chu Nanzhou helped Su Manzhi in in front of so many people. So many people were watching!

Fu Yunhua asked Chu Nanzhou what happened. Chu Nanzhou said with a cold face, “That’s what you saw. She sprained her ankle. I happened to pass by and helped her back.”

I couldn’t get any useful information from my son.

Fu Yunhua went to ask Su Manzhi, and only then did he learn from Su Manzhi that Su Manzhi was blocked in the alley by several thugs that day, who wanted to force her, and it was Nanzhou who passed by and saved her.

Since then, Su Manzhi often came home to accompany Fu Yunhua.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Su Manzhi had fallen in love with her own son Nanzhou.

More people privately assumed that their son Chu Nanzhou was talking about love with Su Manzhi. If not for the discussion, the girl would come to their house every now and then.

Later, Chu Nanzhou went home several times and met Su Manzhi who came to his house.

When they meet, they will greet each other and say a few words.

In Fu Yunhua’s eyes, Chu Nanzhou’s personality and the fact that he could talk to a girl for a few more words meant that their relationship was not ordinary.

In addition, there has been no other woman around Chu Nanzhou over the years, and it has always been Su Manzhi who revolves around him. Fu Yunhua couldn’t find his son to confirm this, so he asked Su Manzhi, and Su Manzhi looked shy.

Fu Yunhua was led directly into the ditch.

All these years, Fu Yunhua really thought that the two of them were dating.

It’s just that my son is too busy and is never at home, so their affairs have been delayed until now.

Fu Yunhua didn’t say anything for a while, mainly because he was too shocked.

She is a woman herself and knows that a woman’s best youth only lasts a few years and cannot be wasted.

Su Manzhi is already 27 years old this year. Nanzhou now says that he has no interest in her and has never thought about getting married.

That……

“What about Su Manzhi?”

Fu Yunhua thought so and asked what was in his mind.

Chu Nanzhou on the other end of the phone heard this and said coldly, his voice was flat:

“Mom, you shouldn’t ask this question. What does Su Manzhi have to do with me?”

To be honest, if Chu Nanzhou was right there, Fu Yunhua really wanted to kick him. You rascal, if you have no feelings for him, why don’t you just say so earlier!

Look at it now, the misunderstanding has become like this.

Everyone in the compound knew that Su Manzhi would marry into the family sooner or later.

Now you say you have no interest in her at all, who would believe you?

Fu Yunhua took several deep breaths to calm down his irritable mood, and asked in a low voice:

“Son, tell me the truth, have you ever said anything in front of Manzhi that could lead to misunderstanding?”

If there was no expression at all, how could Su Manzhi have waited for him for so many years?

Why doesn’t Fu Yunhua believe it!

Which woman can bet her youth?

Chu Nanzhou was in a very unhappy mood:

“Mom, from the time I met her until now, I have said no more than ten sentences to her. These are normal greetings, just out of my upbringing. How could there be any misunderstanding? I am your son, you know my temper. If there was really something going on between her and me, why would I have waited until now!”

Fu Yunhua thought about it.

My son is right. If there really was something, why would we wait until now?

Fu Yunhua was still worried:

“Mom will ask you one last time, do you really have no feelings for Su Manzhi?”

“No!”

“Don’t you think she’s pretty?”

“I haven’t looked closely!”

Chu Nanzhou’s very straightforward answer made Fu Yunhua’s heart sink to the bottom.

Fu Yunhua sighed:

“Son, this is a bit difficult to handle! Your Uncle Su and Aunt Su have always believed that Manzhi is dating you, and the whole compound has spread the rumor that you two will get married this year or next year. How do you explain this? Teach me! I’m really at a loss!”

You said you were too smart, but you didn’t see any signs? If you had made it clear a few years ago, you wouldn’t have the trouble now!”

Chu Nanzhou’s fingers tapped on the table.

After a moment of silence, he spoke:

“How about this! I’ll go home for dinner tonight!”
