GOT7 released their album on September th, and a week later on the th was the Mid-Autumn Festival, so it was time to visit Pei’s family.

Chen Chen set out in the morning just in time for lunch, so his timing was pretty good.

Bae Joo-hyun could have taken the train back yesterday, but she didn't go because she wanted to go with Chen Chen, and could only sit in the passenger seat for three hours.

"Chen Chen, are you nervous?"

Pei Zhuxuan suddenly asked.

"I'm fine." Chen Chen tilted his head to look at her, "Why do you look so nervous? Didn't you say you would come back after having a good meal?"

"Do you really think we're going to have a meal?!" Pei Zhuxuan suddenly became anxious, "This is to meet the parents, to meet the parents!"

"So, why are you so nervous? Shouldn't I be the one who is nervous?" Chen Chen asked back.

"That's the theory, but I saw that you weren't nervous at all so I got nervous!" Pei Zhuxuan argued, "Nervousness can be transferred. One of us will always be nervous!"

"Okay, you can be nervous if you want." Chen Chen curled his lips perfunctorily, "I'm driving, I can't be nervous."

"Why aren't you nervous?" Pei Zhuxuan asked, "Are you familiar with this kind of thing?!"

"I'm familiar with this, right?" Chen Chen was somewhat speechless. "I'm not nervous because I don't think anyone would be dissatisfied with me as a son-in-law. I'm very confident."

"Even if someone is dissatisfied, I have the confidence that I can slowly change that person and eventually achieve a result that everyone is satisfied with," Chen Chen added.

"What if it can't be achieved?" asked Bae Joo-hyun.

"Then let's achieve the most satisfactory result for you and me. If a horse doesn't want to drink water, can I force its head down?" Chen Chen replied, "But I need you to support me at that time. Stand by me 100% and support me."

"I will definitely stand by you, I promise."

Bae Joo-hyun raised her little hand and almost made a swearing gesture.

"That's enough." Chen Chen nodded, "Hold on tight, I'm going to speed up!"

……

With Pei Zhuxuan's guidance, Chen Chen quickly drove to the vicinity of Pei's courtyard.

After parking the car and picking up their belongings, the two began to move toward home.

"Come here and hold my arm. How can you be so ignorant?" Chen Chen grabbed Pei Zhuxuan who was running home. "You don't even show your closeness to me. Do you expect your parents to make assumptions? Is that reasonable? I'm alone in your completely unfamiliar territory. You have to protect me."

"..."

Pei Zhuxuan was speechless for a while, but she felt that what Chen Chen said made sense and she couldn't refute it.

The two of them walked arm in arm to the door of their home, and Pei Zhuxuan was even more speechless.

The wide-open door is clearly welcoming guests. Guests can peek inside the house before entering. The tiles that can be wiped to reflect light show the host's welcome and care. The two potted plants that are growing beautifully can clearly show the welcoming attitude from the way they are trimmed.
"Is that right?" Pei Zhuxuan seemed a little dissatisfied. She pulled Chen Chen to the yard and shouted, "Dad, Mom, I'm back!"

As if prepared in advance, a middle-aged couple appeared in the yard from the house in less than three seconds.

"Hello uncle, hello aunt."

Chen Chen bowed his head and greeted.

Seeing that their daughter was holding someone else's arm, Pei's father and mother naturally understood who the visitor was.

After confirming it again by appearance, I am now even more ready to meet this person.

"You must be Xiao Chen, my girl always talks about you."

Father Pei was obviously a little nervous and almost came over to shake hands with Chen Chen.

"Haha, Zhu Xuan often mentioned you to me." Chen Chen was just as he said in the car. He was not nervous at all and started chatting directly. "She said that she looks like her father and her handsomeness is inherited from her father."

"Of course, the gentleness and kindness must have been inherited from mom." Chen Chen went to praise Pei's mother again, "I can be sure as soon as we met today, it is absolutely like that." Before Pei's mother could say anything, she was interrupted by her own daughter.

"Mom, where are the uncles? Haven't they arrived yet?"

Bae Joo-hyun let go of Chen Chen and stayed close to her mother.

"Your dad asked us to come back in the evening, so there will be no one here at noon today." Mother Pei glanced at Chen Chen, "It will be just the four of us at noon."

"Why are your uncles here at this time? They can do nothing but cause trouble!" Father Pei showed his tough side, "Come over in the evening!"

"..."

There is no more meaning to the conversation after this point, it is just a simple meeting.

Pei's father and mother were a little nervous when facing Chen Chen, and since they had treated Chen Chen as their new son-in-law from the beginning, they naturally would not make things difficult for him.

Chen Chen is thick-skinned and mature. He will continue whatever others say, and if no one is talking, he will bring up the topic himself. In any case, he will not let the game get boring.

There were no hidden dangers or conflicts between the two parties, either overtly or covertly. Although both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal, Chen Chen felt quite comfortable anyway.

After dinner, they chatted and treated each other to delicious fruits and drinks. Chen Chen came here to enjoy himself.

He even took away a bunch of side dishes when he left, which he could never finish.

I came without a gift? Who cares?

……

"Is the family dinner over tonight?"

When Chen Chen was about to take a shower, Bae Joo-hyun, who was celebrating the holiday at home, called him via video.

"Yeah." Pei Zhuxuan's tone was very low, and her face was not very good. "The uncles and aunts are here. Everyone drank a little and they were all very happy."

"But why do you look unhappy to me?" Chen Chen closed the shower door and slowly walked to the living room and sat down. "What's wrong? Did I cause trouble at the dinner table?"

"I feel so complicated right now." Pei Zhuxuan bit her lip unconsciously, "Father always talked about you at the dinner table. The information he got from chatting with you at lunch was exaggerated countless times and boasted about it."

"The uncles were also very excited. They insisted that he say more. They also liked to listen to your story."

"Some of the stories are true, some are made up, and some are just lies told by uncles and aunts. I explained the facts to them but they still didn't believe me."

"In general"

"I don't like it when my father brags about you, and I also don't like everyone's respect and admiration for you. Both sides are abnormal!"

"Also, when you mentioned the restaurant you gave me that cost tens of billions of won," Bae Joo Hyun couldn't continue, "I felt so embarrassed. I was so nervous when I met you, but after just a few hours, you're already using me as a bragging point."

"That's normal. Men and family get together to drink and brag." Chen Chen smiled and told Pei Zhuxuan word by word, slowly comforting her, "The fact that I just came here is the most novel thing. I am also suitable as a capital for bragging. Let them do what they want. Isn't that what an outstanding son-in-law does?"

"I know you want your family to treat me with a normal heart like you treat me, but that's impossible."

"I was a poor boy when I met you. You grew up with me. Only you can see me like this."

"But when I appeared in front of them, I was already a big businessman. In your words, they even thought I was a chaebol. You are being too much if you want them to look at me with a normal mind at this time."

"Ordinary people who live an honest life will definitely feel a huge gap when facing a chaebol. My identity as the new son-in-law instantly bridges the gap. The sense of separation between these two things is the most exciting topic for them at the dinner table."

"Add half a pound of horse urine to your diet, and even a quiet person will start talking."

"In conclusion, this is because they are not familiar with me." Chen Chen not only pointed out the cause, but also gave a solution. "The solution is that I will go there more often and make it my own home."

"Who are you? How dare you be so thick-skinned as to call your own brother-in-law?" Pei Zhuxuan was embarrassed and anxious, "They have admitted it, but I haven't. You better be careful!"
