I am reborn and refuse to be a sickly rich woman

Chapter 349: Sisters talk, Zhu Yulan’s choice.

"Are you following that young man named Xu Musen?"

Zhu Changlin personally picked up a piece of fish for his little daughter.

Zhu Yulan paused, looked at her father and then at her sister who was smiling beside her.

She finally nodded: "Yes...what do you want to ask?"

Zhu Yulan knew that her father would never care about other people's lives for no reason, even his own relatives.

In his eyes, money and power seem to be more important than anything else.

So when he asked about Xu Musen's name, he must have wanted to get something.

Maybe even Zhu Yulan herself didn't notice that her calm state of mind changed slightly when she heard the three words "Xu Musen".

Zhu Changlin also frowned for a moment when his daughter asked in such a slightly questioning tone.

Why does it feel like my daughter's tone of defense is like she is protecting her boyfriend?

"Dad, you should eat something too."

Zhu Xianglan took the opportunity to pick up a dish for him to ease the atmosphere. She turned her head to look at her sister and said with a smile, "Yulan, actually, I asked you to come home for dinner today because your father wanted to make it clear to you that the previous matter about the Huang family was indeed due to our family not considering your thoughts. This kind of situation will not happen again in the family in the future."

These words actually don’t mean much to Zhu Yulan now.

Just hearing these words relieved a lot of the depression in Zhu Yulan's heart.

Zhu Changlin calmed down and looked at his little daughter. Her reaction just now already represented the answer.

"I did not consider Huang Tianming's matter, but I still want you to find a good person. I want to ask you, what do you think of this young man named Xu Musen?"

Zhu Changlin continued to beat around the bush. For him, everything could be put directly on the negotiation table.

Zhu Xianglan frowned slightly. Now it can be said that the relationship between her sister, Xu Musen and those girls is complicated, but generally speaking, her silly sister is probably the lowest among these people...

But Zhu Yulan did not panic after being touched on. She looked at her father with a calm expression: "What is the relationship between him and me? Is it important to you?"

Zhu Changlin frowned and held his breath: "Yulan, I know you have some resentment about what I did before, but I also have my own difficulties. You are grown up now, and the circle in Shanghai is not that big. You can't just stay with him like this. If it gets out, it will be bad for you and the family."

"So? Are you going to assign someone to me again?"

Zhu Yulan couldn't help but sneer in the end.

Zhu Changlin knew that his daughter was resentful. Huang Tianming's behavior was indeed unexpected. He continued to be patient: "Yulan, I didn't ask you for anything this time. Since you want to find a suitable person, you must get a result as soon as possible. I have also investigated Xu Musen's situation. I have no problem with this young man, but his current identity is a bit sensitive. If you really like him, you must get your identity corrected as soon as possible."

Zhu Changlin’s meaning was very clear.

He has been paying attention to the development of this young man Xu Musen during this period. The development of the milk tea shop is secondary, but the kangaroo takeaway he is currently running does have great market prospects.

It is good for big families to join forces, but sometimes they have to be wary of whether the other party will erode their own assets bit by bit.

However, young people like Xu Musen who are capable, have a clean family background, can help their family develop and are easy to control are also good choices.

It’s just that Xu Musen is now the prospective son-in-law of the An family, but after all, they are not married yet and have not announced anything to the outside world. Besides, it is normal for young people to change partners after a failed relationship.

Moreover, it is normal for boys of this age to be fickle.

If his daughter can develop feelings with the other party and bring this rich son-in-law Xu Musen into his Zhu family, then his position in the future will be more secure!

Zhu Yulan bit her lip, her heart was also complicated.

She couldn't deceive her inner feelings, but if she was asked to do anything now, she didn't know what to do.

Although she always said that she didn't care how her family members viewed her.

But she is a human being after all. When a girl meets someone she likes, how can she not want the blessing of her family?

After a moment of silence, she looked up at the man in front of her.

She smiled lightly: "Then I would also like to ask, are you speaking to me as a father or as the head of the Zhu family?"

There was no hint of gunpowder in Zhu Yulan's words, but they were sharper than a bullet.

Zhu Changlin's face also changed. Given his status in the family, no one dared to talk to him like that.

The only thing he cared about was his little daughter. However, the anger in his heart was suppressed after seeing the look in his daughter's eyes.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I am your father and I am responsible for the family. Since you like him now, neither I nor the family will object. Isn't this the best outcome?"

Zhu Yulan immediately took over the conversation: "What if he is just a poor boy with nothing to offer? Will you still support me being with him?"

Zhu Changlin paused for a moment and said, "Yulan, you are already an adult. You should know that there is no point in asking childish questions. But I would like to ask you, if Xu Musen is really useless, would you still like him?"

Zhu Yulan recalled silently for a moment. Indeed, what attracted her to Xu Musen at the beginning was his outstanding personal ability. Whether he was dealing with work, colleagues, or employees, he was always at ease and could always arrange everything in an orderly manner.

This is what Zhu Yulan has always wanted to do.

But this was just what attracted her. What really made her heart start to beat was Xu Musen's gentleness towards others.

He is usually very mean and always makes people laugh and angry.

But every time when there is danger, he can always bring people the greatest sense of security...

Boys like this, who are both loved and hated, are often the most unforgettable to girls.

"I admit that what attracted me at first was his ability, but what really made me like him was him as a person. Even if he really fell into poverty one day in the future, it would not affect my love for him."

Zhu Yulan spoke slowly and firmly.

Zhu Changlin listened and frowned, then exhaled: "Yulan, you should understand that without a material foundation, everything is a mess. You should wake up!"

"Really? Then when my mother married you who was penniless, did you do it for money?"

Zhu Yulan snorted coldly, and finally couldn't help saying these words. At the moment she said these words, Zhu Changlin and Zhu Xianglan's faces changed instantly.

"You are presumptuous!"

Zhu Changlin slammed the table with a grim face, as if he had been hit on the most difficult part of his heart.

The restaurant, where people are rarely together, fell silent again.

"Dad, Yulan, please speak slowly if you have anything to say."

Zhu Xianglan stood up again to ease the atmosphere.

"Maybe it's because we haven't had a meal together for a long time. Actually, Dad's idea this time is very simple."

Zhu Xianglan spoke slowly on behalf of the two people: "Since you, Yulan, like Xu Musen, our family also needs such a son-in-law, so fundamentally speaking, we want the same thing, but we still have to slowly think about how to do it." Zhu Yulan calmed her breath and said in a light voice: "This is my own business, you don't need to tell me. Even if I am really with him, whether he is willing to enter the Zhu family or not is his own freedom. Anyway, I will follow my husband wherever he goes."

This elbow has turned outward.

Zhu Changlin's blood pressure rose after hearing this, but he also knew that it was useless to say anything else at this moment. He was silent for a moment, and then he said, "I am doing this for your own good. You are my daughter, Zhu Changlin, and a member of the Zhu family. If you really have a temper, you should take back what you want as soon as possible. What good will it do you to continue to procrastinate like this?"

Although the father and daughter are sometimes like strangers, they are really similar when they become stubborn.

"I don't need to know what the benefits are. I only know that at least I won't regret doing this, I won't go against my own heart, and I won't forget who I am in the future..."

Zhu Yulan stood up slowly. She glanced at her father, then looked down at the fish he had picked up for her. She didn't eat a single bite after all. She silently took two steps back and said, "Today is not a family dinner... I won't eat."

After saying that, she paused for a moment, then turned and left.

Zhu Changlin had no emotions at this moment. He sat silently in the main seat, but at this moment he no longer had the usual majesty as the head of the family.

The words of his little daughter just now seemed to reveal the past that he was most reluctant to recall.

He was silent for a long time.

"Dad." Zhu Xianglan stood up.

"I'm fine, go see your sister off, it's getting dark..."

The caring words in Zhu Changlin's mouth seemed to become awkward, and he fell silent again.

"it is good."

Zhu Xianglan nodded, turned around and chased after him.

At the entrance of the Zhu family's manor villa, Zhu Yulan had already driven out of the gate.

The figure that appeared in front of her made her stop the car.

The car window was lowered, and Zhu Xianglan stood by the window, looking at her sister's face which still showed some emotion. She also reached out and gently touched her brow: "Don't look so sullen every day. What if you get wrinkles?"

Zhu Yulan knew that her sister said this on purpose to ease the atmosphere.

She pushed away her sister's hand and said, "Sister, was this what you meant today?"

Zhu Xianglan did not answer directly but asked back: "Don't you really like him too?"

Facing her sister's words, Zhu Yulan finally felt a bit nervous and reserved as a young girl, but in the end, she did not deny it.

"It's not easy. To make a proud young lady like me admit it voluntarily, it seems that Xu Musen is really capable."

Zhu Xianglan didn't seem to be affected by the emotion just now at all. She was laughing and cheering softly.

Zhu Yulan's ears felt hot, but she was not in the mood to joke at the moment.

"Sister, what are you thinking about now, about this matter of mine..."

Zhu Yulan felt very complicated. She couldn't deceive her own heart. She really fell in love with Xu Musen little by little, but he already had a girlfriend, and she was such a good girl.

She didn't know how to express her thoughts.

"Does it matter to you what I think?"

Zhu Xianglan showed a warm smile, leaned over the car window and looked at her closely: "I know how you feel now, you like him, but you are afraid of being rejected. If this is the case, you may not even be able to be friends.

Or maybe you feel that you are very sorry to the other girl.

But I was unwilling to not confess my feelings. I always felt that if I couldn't even express my feelings, I might regret it for the rest of my life.

The worries and concerns of little girls are actually what many people have experienced in high school, but you are just beginning to fall in love. "

Zhu Yulan listened to her sister's clear and logical analysis, and she was unable to refute a single word.

"How do you know so much..."

"After all, I've been there before. Even if I haven't eaten pork, I've seen herds of piglets running around."

"So... Sister, what do you think I should do?"

"You have to ask yourself this."

Zhu Xianglan reached out and gently poked her sister's cheek: "My sister is so beautiful, and her figure... has its own advantages."

Zhu Yulan turned her head and looked at her sister who was lying on the car window. Zhu Xianglan was wearing a black dress. When she bent down like this, she could see her fair curves that all girls envied.

She felt that her mother might not have had good nutrition when she gave birth to her. She remembered that her eldest sister and second sister had good figures, but she herself... Although she was not bad, the people she met were all supermodels.

"Oh, don't worry too much about this kind of thing. If it really doesn't work, I'll take you to get one." Zhu Xianglan smiled and spoke when she noticed her sister's gaze.

"I'm not going. I'm fine like this. My shoulders don't get tired. What's the point of it..."

Zhu Yulan withdrew her gaze, but the words in her mouth still sounded a little sour.

Zhu Xianglan rubbed her head and spoke gently.

"Well, besides, the dowry I saved for you is definitely not inferior to anyone else's. You have nothing to worry about except the hurdle in your heart. You can only make your own choice."

Zhu Yulan pondered silently for a long time, and finally she took a deep breath: "Sister, will you support me? Even if I may gain nothing, or even bring shame to our family..."

Before she could finish her words, Zhu Xianglan gently held her cheek.

The two sisters have similar faces, but at this moment they are showing completely different emotions.

"Silly sister, I have already told you that I may have many identities in the Zhu family, but here with you, I will always only be your second sister.

Go ahead and do whatever you want to do. I'm here to back you up."

Zhu Xianglan's tone was gentle and doting, just like when she was a child and always protected her most mischievous little sister.

Zhu Yulan felt a lump in her nose. After what happened today, she didn't even have time to have a good meal with her sister.

She and her sister hugged each other tightly.

"Thank you, second sister..."

Zhu Yulan drove away.

Zhu Xianglan looked at the direction where she was gradually going away, and a hint of complexity slowly appeared on her gentle face.

"Silly girl, you still have to grow up eventually. So... even if it's not perfect, it's better to fight for yourself once than to be confused and careless for the rest of your life..."
