Chapter 1748: Chapter 1748: Public Bid for a Son-in-law, Highest Bidder Wins
Lu Ran also looked at her mom with surprise: “Mom, what’s going on here?”
Wang Xiaoxin took a sip of tea: “What, are you thinking I agreed too quickly? How about I reconsider?”
Lu Ran hugged Wang Xiaoxin’s arm playfully: “Mom, please don’t. If you take it back, I might not get married even by thirty, and you and dad would be stuck with me.”
Yanyan looked at her cousin Youyou and said: “Sister Ranran, don’t worry, Aunt might hold a public petition for a husband for you, highest bidder wins.”
After hearing that, Ranran got up and chased after Yanyan who had already run off.
The two sisters stayed outside for quite a while before ing back.
Ranran learned from Yanyan that everyone had gone to Tianshui in recent days to investigate the Zhou Family, which led to today’s event, and Zhou Lei passed the test.
Though she felt her parents’ actions were somewhat inappropriate, it was all for her sake.
This time even her uncles, aunts, and siblings joined in; who were they doing it for, if not for her? Having such a family moved her, warming her heart.
And so, the matter was settled. When they walked out of the restaurant, Zhou Lei and Lu Ran were at the back, and Zhou Lei quietly held Lu Ran’s hand: “Now that I have a legitimate title, why do I feel like I’m floating when I walk?”
Lu Ran purposefully teased: “It’s not set in stone yet, you can be replaced at any time, so watch out.”
Zhou Lei tightened his grip on Lu Ran’s hand: “On such a good day, can’t you just let me float a little longer?”
Lu Ran looked at his slightly flushed face from drinking: “If you don’t let go, your father-in-law’s eyes might shoot fire.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Lei looked up front and saw Lu Yixuan watching them, but even so, he didn’t let go of Lu Ran’s hand, though his palms were sweating from nervousness: “Uncle, do you have something to tell me?”
Lu Yixuan called him aside, spoke a few words, then patted his shoulder before taking Lu Ran into the car.
Lu Ran quietly asked: “Dad, what did you say to Zhou Lei?”
Lu Yixuan glanced at his cherished daughter: “She’s really grown up, thinking I can bully him?”
Lu Ran quickly flattered: “In my heart, you and mom are the most important, of course.”
Whether those words were true or not, Lu Yixuan was pleased.
Luo Qiao looked at Zhou Lei who had drunk plenty: “Are you okay? Since it’s on the way, we’ll give you a ride.”
Zhou Lei nodded with a smile: “Thank you, Aunt.”
Wang Xiaoxin felt relieved seeing Zhou Lei get into the car with Luo Qiao and them, having drunk so much, she was indeed a bit worried. Now, he’s basically their prospective son-in-law, part of the family.
Lu Ran followed her mom’s gaze and laughed: “The treatment changes all of a sudden.”
Wang Xiaoxin glanced at her daughter: “You’re taking advantage yet playing innocent.”
Lu Ran giggled and said playfully: “Thank you both for everything you’ve done for me.”

When the Zhou Family received a call from their son, it was already ten o’clock at night, and they got a fright.
Since the house hadn’t had a phone installed yet, they went to the village head’s house to take the call, each of them panting as they answered: “Hello, Leizi, why are you calling so late?”
“Dad, my girlfriend’s parents have agreed to our relationship, and they want me to inform you to find some time to e to Capital City to discuss the wedding.”
“Really, are we meeting the in-laws?”
“Really, really, I definitely wouldn’t lie to you about this.”
“That’s great news! Does this mean you might get married before the end of the year?”
