"This is ridiculous!

"

Zhao Chu Hua, Zhao Wang Lei and Zhao Shi Lian's mother, walked back and forth in the living room, waiting for her daughter to arrive with her so-called boyfriend. She then turned to look at her son, Wang Lei, drinking tea as he surfed the net.

"Are you telling the truth that this Shi Lian is dating someone behind our back?

"

"Yours and dad's, mother,

" Wang Lei said, helping her little sister since she begged him to help her since the afternoon.

"She told me earlier until you guys knew now.

"

With this said, Chu Hua rolled her eyes at him, crossing her arms in front of her chest.

"Are you sure that she is really dating—or are you helping her pretend so we could stop setting her up to blind dates?

"

"Hey, I'm telling you the truth,

" Wang Lei said, shrugging his shoulders as he put his tea down and pocketed his phone.

"Shi Lian and I are close! She never keeps secrets from me because she'd rather tell me everything than tell you guys since both you and dad are most of the time, close-minded!

"

Chu Hua narrowed her eyes at her son.

"You…

"

Not knowing what to say as what he indeed said was true, Chu Hua just sighed, now sitting on the couch as she pinched the bridge of her nose, as if having a headache.

"I have nothing to say,

" she mumbled, enough for Wang Lei to hear.

"But at least… tell me that this man that she's dating is a good guy?

"

"I don't know,

" Wang Lei said, giving another shrug.

"I know that she's dating, but I don't know about the guy since she has not told me too much about him.

"

"Ugh…

"

Chu Hua groaned, already waving her hand as if she gave up on asking for something if the other person doesn't have any more information known about it.

"Fine… we'll just have to meet this boy.

"

At the same moment, the door opened, revealing the driver and a house helper. With them bowing, they have announced their arrival, already telling them that Shi Lian has arrived with her boyfriend.

"Miss Shi Lian is home with Sir Zhang Ren, Mrs. Zhao.

"

"Mm,

" Chu Hua nodded, already standing up with her son standing beside her.

"Bring them in.

"

As the driver and the house helper gave a small bow, they then escorted Shi Lian and Zhang Ren inside the living room, the two already greeting Chu Hua.

"Good evening, mama,

"' Shi Lian said, a nervous smile appearing on her face.

"This is my boyfriend, Zhang Ren.

"

"Good evening, Mrs. Zhao, Mr. Wang Lei.

"

With Zhang Ren bowing to Wang Lei first, he then bowed to Chu Hua longer, the woman arching a brow at the man as she raised a brow at him.

'He looks like an ordinary man. What did my daughter see in dating a person such as him?'

Wang Lei looked at his little sister. With a grin appearing on his face, both of them communicated through their eyes, Shi Lian, glaring at her older brother.

'How are you going to handle this, Shi Lian?'

'Just go with it! I'm already begging you!'

Wang Lei arched a brow at her as if reading her thoughts.

'Oh? Then why the deathly stare?'

'It's because if you act suspicious, mama won't buy this act at all!'

"Zhang Ren.

"

With Chu Hua addressing to him, it snapped the siblings out of their thoughts, already looking at Zhang Ren who is still bowing before their mother.

"Raise your body. Let me see your face.

"

"Oh! Yes.

"

With Zhang Ren proudly showing his face to Chu Hua, a smile crept to his face, further looking straight into her eyes, showing his confidence.

He may not wear the best clothes, but he indeed does look handsome the longer you look at him.

"Hmm… if I may ask, Zhang Ren, from which prominent family did you come from?

"

"Mama!

"

With Shi Lian suddenly butting in, she widened her eyes in surprise, not expecting her mom to ask something so straightforward.

"Aren't you being too direct? Zhang Ren is—

"

"Let me speak to him, Shi Lian,

" Chu Hua interrupted, a small smile appearing on her face as Wang Lei watched them talk.

"I'm curious about Zhang Ren because you dated him without telling me and your father, and just told your older brother.

"

With Chu Hua returning his gaze to Zhang Ren, she waited expectantly for him to answer her, Zhang Ren, opening his mouth to answer when suddenly, the house phone rang.

With them quieting for a while as the house helper answered it, she widened her eyes, looking at Chu Hua with urgency in her eyes.

"Oh! M-Mrs. Zhao, a call from Mr. Chen.

"

"Mr. Chen?

" Chu Hua widened her eyes, already going to the phone.

"Why is someone like him suddenly calling, and why now?

"

With her already answering the call, Shi Lian looked at her older brother, arching a brow at him and asked,

"Who is Mr. Chen?

"

"Wait, let me think.

"

Wang Lei contemplated for a while, knowing that he has heard the name somewhere from the business world. With Chu Hua letting out an excited laugh, she looked at Shi Lian and Zhang Ren for a brief moment, a wide smile appearing on her face.

"Y-yes, Mr. Chen! I'll hand the phone over to him right now.

"

With Zhang Ren being beckoned to come over the phone, he smiled, already getting the phone from Chu Hua and greeted the person on the other line.

"1Yéyé! I told you—you can call me later.

"

With him talking to the caller and calling him grandfather as a chuckle came from him as well, Chu Hua approached her daughter quickly, pinching her thigh as if she was embarrassed, surprising her children with the gesture.

"Mama! Why did you—

"

"Shi Lian, you silly girl!

"

Chu Hua whispered in a scolding tone, her face having a blush as she expressed her embarrassment.

"How could you not tell me that you are dating the grandson of Mr. Chen? His grandfather practically owns almost all of the businesses in Country S!

"

With that being said, even Wang Lei and Shi Lian couldn't mask their surprise, already understanding why they can't find any clues about him, already knowing why he has a black card.

'Zhang Ren is… the grandson of Country S' legendary business man, the Chen Clan?!'
