Chapter 898 898: Uncontrollable Variables Exist
After dinner, Zhang Ru went to the bedroom to call her sister Zhang Hui.
With the door closed, no one knew what the two were talking about on the phone.
Chen Xuan and Lin Wanxi could only sit in the living room waiting, both of them thinking about certain possibilities, appearing absent-minded.
Zhang Dehou, Zhang Jun, and Lin Zhiguo clearly didn't know the inside story and were chatting and laughing there.
Zhang Jun would occasionally flatter Chen Xuan, accompanied by a burst of laughter from Lin Zhiguo, acknowledging his son-in-law and feeling quite proud.
Chen Xuan could only nod along with the conversation, his mind completely elsewhere.
He just wanted to know the result of Zhang Ru and Zhang Hui's conversation.
Very worried, they might gather together again on both sides.
About an hour later, Zhang Ru finally came out of the room.
She actually talked on the phone for an hour!
Lin Wanxi quickly stood up and asked softly, "Mom, what did Aunt say?"
Zhang Ru had a happy look on her face, "I finally convinced her! She'll come over either on the second or third day of the new year, bringing Yiyi and Dongzi along."
Lin Wanxi secretly grimaced, this might be a bit tricky!
"Is Uncle not coming?" Lin Wanxi asked again.
Zhang Ru waved her hand, "After all, it's the New Year, your uncle has a lot of social obligations on that side and can't get away for now."
"Only your aunt is bringing Yiyi and Dongzi over."
Zhang Jun said jokingly, "Could it be that Xiao Wencheng still has some opinions about us and doesn't want to come?"
"What are you talking about, don't speculate about your brother-in-law like that."
Zhang Ru glanced at Zhang Jun, "He really has things he can't leave. After this busy period, during dad's birthday next year, he'll definitely come with Xiaohui to celebrate."
Zhang Dehou sighed, "As long as they come, we shouldn't demand too much otherwise."
"Dad, when Xiaohui comes, don't pull the same unhappy face as you did before." Zhang Ru hurriedly cautioned.
Zhang Dehou waved his hand with a smile, "At my age, I've come to terms with a lot of things I couldn't get past before."
"As long as my daughter is willing to come home again, I'm already very content, how could I show her a bad face."
"Hmm, that's good." Zhang Ru was relieved, a smile appearing on her face.
Only Chen Xuan and Lin Wanxi couldn't smile, or rather their smiles were very stiff, not natural.
That night, Chen Xuan and Lin Wanxi did not leave, but stayed at the Zhang Family.
At night, Lin Wanxi went specifically to Chen Xuan's room to discuss strategies with him.
"The day after tomorrow my aunt and the others will come over, and it won't be easy to prevent things from being exposed, how do you plan to handle it?"
Lin Wanxi shook her head slightly, "If my parents find out about you and Yiyi at this time... I can't imagine the consequences."
"And for my aunt, I don't know how to explain it either."
Chen Xuan was equally helpless, indeed the little sister-in-law shouldn't be trifled with.
Any trouble would definitely arise!
But now it's too late to say anything, his relationship with Xiao Yiyi has already become a fact.
And he can't just walk away as if nothing happened.
"We'll just have to adapt when it comes to it then!" Chen Xuan said helplessly, "Last time, it was thanks to Yiyi and Dongzi's maneuvering that prevented a crisis from breaking out."
"But this time coming to the Zhang Family... I haven't thought of a strategy yet."
Lin Wanxi's expression was uncertain, "Chen Xuan, I think it's necessary to give Uncle an early heads-up, let him be aware."
Hmm?
Chen Xuan looked at Lin Wanxi, should he give Zhang Jun a heads-up in advance?
"My grandpa is old, and generally won't discuss much about us."
"My parents and aunt will inevitably talk about marriage and relationship issues."
"For example, my parents will actively discuss Yiyi and Dongzi, while my aunt will actively bring up issues about my marriage."
"At this point, a middle-man is needed to step in and mediate, to prevent the topic from going deeper."
"Last time at my aunt's house, Yiyi and Dongzi coordinated well, but at the Zhang Family, it won't be easy for them."
"In this situation, only Uncle stepping in would be more appropriate. What do you think?"
Lin Wanxi offered her opinion, seeking his perspective.
Chen Xuan pondered for a moment, then slightly nodded, "Hmm, what you said makes sense."
"Tomorrow, I'll talk to Zhang Jun privately, hoping nothing unexpected happens."
Lin Wanxi sighed softly, it seems that's all they can do, everything remains unpredictable.
We'll see how their ability to adapt to circumstances is, whether they can resolve this small internal crisis...
