She won't clear her name; she'll throw away all the scum.

Chapter 215

Chen Xianghong was already feeling very uneasy. During that time, she clearly remembered her mother's words and vowed never to look for a partner outside the home.

But, I don't know how, I suddenly started dating him.

Thinking of this, Chen Xianghong glared at Yu Hongzhen fiercely. It was all his fault. She had told him not to come yet, to let her sound out her mother first, but that man said they would meet sooner or later, so it was better to catch them off guard.

Then, he ended up coming along too.

She hasn't even explained things to her mother yet, and her mother doesn't know that he's her boyfriend. If she did know, she definitely wouldn't be so polite.

And her second brother is really annoying. She knows she's doomed, she doesn't need him to remind her.

Thinking of this, she glared at Chen Xiangnan again.

Chen Xiangnan stroked his chin. Hey... why is she glaring at him? Is his sister actually getting angry?

Does having a partner give you confidence?

Interesting. He's not going to help right now; he'll observe first.

In my opinion, Yu Hongzhen is a really good husband. He has a good job, is capable, his family is said to be well-off, and he is good-looking. Taking him out would definitely make him look good.

This is a world of difference from the last one. Very good, you've improved. Chen Xiangnan gave her an approving look, leaving Chen Xianghong completely bewildered.

She could understand her parents' thoughts, and she also knew what her eldest brother, sister-in-law, and third brother wanted, but she really didn't understand what her second brother was thinking sometimes.

She understood that he wanted more than his brothers, and sometimes his behavior was truly despicable, but other times he was very kind to them.

I was glaring at him just now, but he was still smiling?

What's so funny!

The two chatted happily, but neither of them got to the point; it was all about trivial matters.

After chatting for a while, Grandma Xia suddenly slapped her forehead and realized she had forgotten to cook.

"Second brother, call the third brother out to cook. The guests have arrived and he's still hiding in the house. That's not right."

Chen Xiangbei was reluctantly pulled out by Chen Xiangnan, but his eyes lit up when he saw Yu Hongzhen. "Brother Yu, you've come to my house?"

He happily sat down next to him, eager to pester him to tell him stories about the military. He had a classmate in school whose older brother was in the army, and the classmate often boasted about how amazing his brother was, which made him incredibly envious.

He ignored what Old Lady Xia said and just chattered away beside Yu Hongzhen, trying to please him.

Yu Hongzhen needed to cultivate a good relationship with his future father-in-law's family, and he didn't mind Chen Xiangbei's constant questions. Except for those confidential matters, he described everything else vividly, which made Old Lady Xia quite engrossed in listening.

Until Chen Xiangbei's stomach rumbled.

"What a mess! Third brother, you're not allowed to bother Battalion Commander Yu anymore. Once you start talking, you never stop. Get into the kitchen and help me out."

"Battalion Commander Yu, sit down and wait a moment. I'll show you my skills. I'm a great cook." In the end, Grandma Xia didn't let Chen Xiangbei take on the responsibility alone. The boy's cooking was barely edible. How could it be served to guests? She must have been out of her mind to think of letting him cook by himself.

Yu Hongzhen immediately stood up. "Auntie, let me help too. I can cook."

Grandma Xia immediately refused. How could she let a guest cook, especially someone of such high status? "Commander Yu, we can't let you do it. How can our family face people if word gets out? Go sit down, it'll be ready soon."

Yu Hongzhen was pushed out of the kitchen, where he stared at Chen Xiangnan and Chen Xianghong.

Chen Xianghong glanced furtively into the kitchen and saw that they were busy cooking and no one was paying attention to what was happening outside. "Why don't you go back? I'll think of a better solution before you come over."

Chen Xiangnan smiled without saying a word.

Yu Hongzhen immediately understood that his second brother must know about their affair. He smiled at him somewhat embarrassedly, and then said to Chen Xianghong, "Xianghong, I'm already here."

Chen Xiangnan couldn't help but chuckle. "I do have an idea."

Chen Xianghong: "Second brother, please tell me quickly, please save us."

Chen Xiangnan glanced back at Old Lady Xia before saying, "Then you owe me a favor."

Yu Hongzhen immediately clasped his hands in thanks, "From now on, as long as you give the order, Second Brother, I will definitely do it if I can, as long as you help us get through this difficult time."

"Then tell me first, does your family know about your relationship?" Chen Xiangnan asked.

Yu Hongzhen nodded, "I know."

Chen Xiangnan: "They agreed?"

Yu Hongzhen nodded, "They are very supportive."

Chen Xiangnan then offered his advice: "My mom is just worried that Xianghong will be bullied if she's not under her watchful eye. She's soft-hearted, and if someone insults her, she might not even retaliate. She might end up getting herself worked up. Plus, she's the type to only report good news and not bad news. She probably won't mention her difficulties in letters or telegrams, which will only make Mom more worried."

Chen Xianghong nodded, "Yes, Mom just loves me too much."

Chen Xiangnan: "You'd better be more careful. Don't just believe everything other people say."

Chen Xianghong: "Don't worry about me for now, tell me your method first."

Chen Xiangnan then continued, "You seem a little different from before today. Since Mom is worried, why don't you try to put Mom's mind at ease for a while?"

Chen Xianghong pondered for a long time, "But I don't know how to make Mom believe me."

Chen Xiangnan: "Didn't you have pretty good grades when you were in school? You should be a pretty smart person. How could you not have thought of this? You're so stupid."

Chen Xianghong: "Second brother, stop keeping me in suspense."

Chen Xiangnan: "In a few days it will be our sister's wedding banquet. There will definitely be a lot of shady characters who will try to bully Mom and you, just like before. You should show your power and shock them all, including Mom. Let them know that you have changed and are not to be trifled with. After that, you can reason with Mom and appeal to her emotions. Wouldn't that make things simple?"

"However, it still depends on your ability. If you're not capable enough, then there's really nothing I can do. You know how ruthless Mom has been lately. If you can't find an opportunity, you'd better be prepared to get beaten up."

Chen Xianghong's eyes lit up. "Second brother, no wonder Mom said you have a bit of unorthodox cleverness."

Chen Xiangnan: "Can you say a few nice things to me?"

Chen Xianghong chuckled, "Second Brother, let's do it this way."

Yu Hongzhen was getting anxious. "Then I won't say anything today?"

Chen Xiangnan: "If you're itching for a beating from my mom, then just say so."

Chen Xianghong said seriously, "Brother Yu, just listen to my second brother. He understands my mother the most."

Yu Hongzhen sighed and agreed.

The road to marriage is long and arduous.
