Guan Juer shook her head, "Of course not. Maybe it was because they allowed Sister Fan to go to college that Sister Fan felt that her parents loved her, and therefore she was attached to her family. Family love may be the most unreasonable thing in the world."

Andy: "So this is why Xiaofan keeps giving money to his family?"

Tan Zongming: “This is only part of the reason.”

The three of them turned around and found that it was Tan Zongming who pushed the door open. Guan Juer was puzzled, "Then what is the other reason?"

Tan Zongming sat next to Guan Juer and put his arm around her shoulders. "Another reason is that a girl who grows up in a son-oriented family will be neglected by her parents, which will make her more eager to get her parents' respect and recognition. Miss Fan gives money to her family every month, and her father and mother will gradually rely on her. This gives Miss Fan a kind of vanity and satisfaction in her heart."

After Tan Zongming finished speaking, the room fell silent. Guan Juer and the other two were deeply touched and didn't know what to say for a moment. On the one hand, they felt sorry for Fan Shengmei, but on the other hand, Fan Shengmei was willing to accept this situation.

After successfully staying overnight last night, Tan Zongming came again today. After seeing off Andy and Qiu Yingying, Tan Zongming told Guan Juer while cooking, "Juer, we have been together for a while, and New Year's Day is coming soon. Should I go visit my uncle and aunt?"

Guan Juer paused while typing on the keyboard. "So fast?"

Tan Zongming put the dishes on the plate, "Is it fast? We have known each other for a long time, it's time for us to meet each other's families. My parents have been urging me to take you back."

Guan Juer automatically sat down at the dining table, a little nervous, "Have you told your family? When did it happen? What do uncle and aunt think of our relationship?"

As innocent as Guan Juer is, after living in this world for a few years, she began to understand many things. After all, marriage is not just a matter between two people.

Seeing how nervous she was, Tan Zongming comforted her, "They knew about it when we first got together, but I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would worry. But don't worry, I can make the decision about my marriage myself, and you don't need to worry about anything else."

Guan Juer thought that they had indeed been together for a while and that she liked him, so she agreed, "Okay!"

On the day before New Year's Day, Guan Juer suddenly returned home. Guan's mother thought her daughter had encountered some difficulties, so she pulled Guan Juer to sit on the sofa and scolded her: "Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming back? What if your father and I are not at home?"

Guan Juer thought that if she stuck her head out, she would be stabbed, and if she hid her head, she would also be stabbed. She closed her eyes and said, "Mom and Dad, I have a boyfriend. He wants to come to our house to visit you."

Guan's mother's first reaction was joy. Her daughter finally got the hang of it. "You have a boyfriend? What does he do? How old is he? Where is he from?"

Guan Juer's remaining words were suddenly stuck by Guan's mother's question. What did she say? Did you know that your son-in-law is a big boss from Baidu Encyclopedia?

Guan Juer felt that if she really said that, her mother would scold her to death.

Guan Juer: "Mom, he's downstairs, how about I ask him to come up?"

When Guan's mother heard this, she stood up immediately and said, "You kid, everyone is here, but you don't let them in. What kind of person is this?"

Guan's mother opened the door and prepared to go downstairs, but as soon as she opened the door, she saw a handsome man standing outside the door carrying something.

Guan Ma looked at Tan Zongming hesitantly, "Excuse me, who are you?"

Tan Zongming quickly bowed and greeted, "Hello, auntie, I am Tan Zongming, Juer's boyfriend."

Without waiting for Guan's mother to respond, Guan Juer heard the sound and ran out, "Didn't I tell you to wait downstairs? If my mother doesn't agree to let you in..."

"Cough cough cough!" When Guan's mother heard Guan Juer's inappropriate words, she immediately interrupted her with a cough.

It was not good to just stand outside the door, so Guan Ma motioned for Tan Zongming to come in, "Xiao Tan, um... Mr. Tan, right? Come in and sit down. It's really rude to ask you to wait outside the door."

Tan Zongming quickly replied, "You can just call me Xiao Tan or Zongming. It's rude of me to come and disturb you without permission. It's just that Juer and I have been together for a while, and I desperately hope to get your approval. Besides, my family also knows about Juer and I. If I hadn't stopped her this time, my mother would have wanted to come and visit you in person."

As soon as Tan Zongming entered the door, he expressed his feelings for Guan Juer, and also expressed his family's support for their relationship, trying his best to leave a good impression on Guan's mother.

This is indeed the case. Guan's mother's initial impression of Tan Zongming was that he was a successful person with a lot of experience. She had seen too many people like him and it was difficult for her to develop real feelings for him. He was not suitable for her innocent daughter at all.

Therefore, Guan's mother rejected Tan Zongming in her heart at the beginning. She let him in just out of courtesy. However, Tan Zongming's words just now gave him some points. Being able to tell his family at least showed that his attitude was serious, and his family's consent reduced a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Only then did Guan's mother start to ask, "Where does Mr. Tan work?"

Tan Zongming sat upright, knowing that the household registration check was coming, "Aunt, my hometown is Beijing, my parents both work in government agencies, I am an only child, I opened a small company in Shanghai, and I can barely make a living."

“Cough cough cough…” This time it was Guan Juer’s turn to cough. If Shengxuan is a small company, then are there any big companies in Shanghai?

Guan's mother glanced at Guan Juer, and obviously knew from Guan Juer's reaction that the so-called small company might have a great background.

"To have built such a large family business, Mr. Tan must be quite old, right?"

Guan's mother's words implied that Tan Zongming's age was not a match for Guan Juer. Tan Zongming certainly understood it, but this was not the time to back down.

Tan Zongming leaned forward, which was his favorite action in negotiations when he was young, because it could better concentrate his spirit and attention. However, as he grew older, he no longer needed this trick and could face all kinds of negotiations calmly.

But now, the nervous Tan Zongming once again returned to the initial state, "Uncle and aunt, I am 34 years old this year. I know I am much older than Juer, but I also have my advantages. You hope that Juer will find young people of the same age, but most of the young people of her age have just graduated and have not yet settled down. They themselves have not grown up yet, so how can they take care of Juer?

It won't be certain who will take care of whom at that time. Are you confident to leave Ju Er to such a person? But I am different. It is precisely because of my rich experience that I know what I want and I have the ability to take care of Ju Er. I promise you that whether before or after marriage, she only needs to be herself, and I will take care of the rest."
