Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!

Professor Xie replied, "Meilan stayed with me last night, and went to the rental house to tidy up the room this morning. She is tired and sleepy now, so she went back to the hotel to sleep. She just fell asleep, so don't disturb her."

"Yes!" Fu Chen responded, "I'll wait for Meilan outside. Sister-in-law, you have a good rest. Aunt Xie, you take care of yourself too."

"Okay!" Professor Xie nodded. "The hospital is crowded. Find a place to sit down and don't tire yourself out."

Fu Chen came out of the hospital. Professor Xie was even reluctant to tell him the name of the hotel where Meilan was staying, let alone the room number.

What went wrong?

This straight man finally started to think seriously!

Yang Hao was quite perceptive, so Fu Chen called Yang Hao.

Yang Hao, who was having dinner nearby, received the call and asked Fu Chen to come over for dinner.

"You're back so soon?" Yang Hao was a little surprised. "Didn't you see Meilan?"

Fu Chen replied, "Meilan is resting now, and I'm hungry too. Where's Zhao Yong?"

Yang Hao laughed and scolded, "I had just taken a few bites when his girlfriend came looking for him and left happily. There are so many dishes, I can't finish them all by myself, so you come and help me finish them, that's perfect."

Fu Chen was indeed hungry, so he just started eating.

Yang Hao is so smart, how could he not notice that something is wrong with Fu Chen?

However, Fu Chen didn't say anything on his own initiative, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After finishing the meal, Fu Chen said softly: "Yang Hao, let's go have a cup of tea together."

"Okay, I have nothing to do anyway." Yang Hao responded with a smile. He left all the affairs of his company to his wife and went out to look for business opportunities.

Even though Yang Hao behaved a little indulgently outside, he would never bring the women outside to his wife, and he would never provoke people around him.

He knew clearly who was the right wife for him, understood the importance of the child's mother, and understood the crucial significance of the marriage between the two families.

The two ordered a pot of Biluochun and took a few sips.

Fu Chen asked, "Yang Hao, I just went to see Meilan's mother, Aunt Xie. She was polite and distant to me. I really can't figure out what the problem is?"

Yang Hao was stunned. He actually had a similar feeling, but he was not involved in the incident and did not dare to jump to conclusions.

"Fu Chen, since you asked me, I will help you analyze it. The only connection between Professor Xie and you is Meilan. You must have done something to make Meilan feel wronged."

Fu Chen was startled and said, "Meilan and I are getting along fine."

Yang Hao then asked: "Then think carefully, have you ever broken your promise? Or has your family ever broken their promise?"

I vaguely heard Fu Chen mention before that they would get engaged during the National Day.

Later, due to Fu Chen's health reasons, the engagement could not take place.

Fu Chen thought about it carefully and suddenly thought of a possibility, "We said we would get engaged on National Day, but because I was injured, it didn't happen."

"You were injured and canceled the engagement, which is not a big problem in itself." Yang Hao nodded, "But I'm curious, did your parents or the Fu family give the Liu family a formal explanation for canceling the engagement? Even if the distance is far and there is no time to talk in person, did you explain this matter solemnly over the phone?"

When Fu Chen heard this, he suddenly realized, "I understand."

He didn't know whether his parents called the Liu family, but after he returned to Beijing, almost no one in his family mentioned the Liu family and Liu Meilan anymore.

He would only talk about Liu Meilan if he brought it up first and others had to take up the conversation.

This in itself is not normal.

But this time, when he returned home, his grandfather kept saying that he had nightmares and was not feeling well, and he even dragged him to Baiyun Temple to recuperate.

When we arrived at Baiyun Temple, we found that grandpa's health was not as bad as we had imagined, and he was in good health.

For Fu Chen, the days of practicing in the Taoist temple were like years.

Although there was electricity there, there was no telephone and he could not communicate with the outside world, so he had not contacted Liu Meilan for more than a week.

"Fu Chen, don't be too angry or too excited." Yang Hao wanted to continue persuading him, but every family has its own problems, so he chose to shut up.

He has said and done everything he should have said and done, but he has done too much and may end up pleasing neither side.

Fu Chen nodded, "Okay! I'll go to the hospital entrance and wait for Meilan!"

Yang Hao smiled and said, "There are so many people coming and going in front of the store, how can you wait there? Liu Meilan's brother has booked a room at Jinhua Hotel, you can go there and wait!"

"Okay!" Fu Chen agreed, and then took a taxi to the hotel.

Yang Hao looked at Fu Chen's departing back and more speculations arose in his mind.

It must be that something went wrong with the Liu family some time ago, so the Fu family was a little hesitant about the marriage between Fu Chen and Liu Meilan.

From the family's perspective, there is nothing wrong with doing this, but it also inevitably seems a bit cold and indifferent.

Now think about it, the Qian family is ruthless and unscrupulous, and the Fu family seems to have a good family tradition, but in fact it seems to have changed.

Thinking about the Yang family again, Yang Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head. Fame, wealth and power always tend to confuse people's minds.

How good can those people in the Yang family be? Anyway, Yang Hao himself is not a gentleman.

While taking a taxi, Fu Chen passed by a flower shop and bought a bunch of beautiful roses. He held them in his hands, went to the first-floor lobby of Jinhua Hotel, sat on the sofa and waited quietly.

Although he could easily find Liu Meilan's room number, he hoped that Liu Meilan could rest more and did not want to disturb her while she was resting.

When Liu Meilan woke up, it was already 4: in the afternoon. She drank a glass of warm water and took a bath.

After drying her hair, she smelled fragrant and put on a light sweater with a khaki windbreaker on top.

Liu Meilan came down from upstairs and walked out quickly without paying much attention to her surroundings.

"Meilan!" Fu Chen called softly, and walked over with a rose in his hand. He kept his eyes on the elevator entrance, not missing anyone who passed by.

When Liu Meilan saw Fu Chen, she was delighted. "Fu Chen, didn't you go to accompany Grandpa Fu to recuperate? I remember that I ran into Yang Hao yesterday. He must have told you. Yang Hao is really something. I told him not to disturb you and Grandpa Fu."

Fu Chen felt mixed emotions and suddenly realized that Liu Meilan didn't seem to need him most of the time.

But they still loved each other, and Liu Meilan took care of him meticulously without asking for anything in return.

But even such a pure feeling does not seem important in the eyes of the elders.

They felt that there were other more important things, but to Fu Chen, Liu Meilan and her love were extremely important.

"Of course Yang Hao has to tell me, otherwise I will definitely beat him up when I find out!" Fu Chen chuckled and did not delve into the matter in front of Liu Meilan.

After all, this situation was not Liu Meilan's fault, but was caused by his family.

If he talked too much to Liu Meilan, it would only add more pressure to her and would not solve the problem.

He still has to face his family by himself, and he has to solve his family problems by himself.

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Please don't be like this. Yang Hao means well. I really don't want to cause you any trouble."

After hearing this and seeing Liu Meilan's sweet smile, Fu Chen reached out and hugged Liu Meilan tightly.

He could feel his heart beating faster, and he could also feel that Liu Meilan's love for him was so sincere.

Fu Chen's nose felt slightly sour. "If everything is as you said, then I have caused you too much trouble. I am very grateful and I accept it with peace of mind."

"I also hope that when you need me, you will think of me first, so that I can have the opportunity to protect you, take care of you, and help you."

Although two people in love would not care too much, Fu Chen could not accept Liu Meilan's one-sided dedication, as that would make him feel guilty.

Liu Meilan smiled and just nodded, "I slept for a long time at noon, and now I have to go to the hospital. Do you want to go with me?"

Fu Chen replied: "Of course I'll go together! After visiting my sister-in-law, I'll go home in the evening."

Liu Meilan nodded. This was the best she could do. Being more polite would seem too fake.

When Liu Yiwen saw Fu Chen, he thought that the Fu family might dislike his sister, and his face suddenly turned ugly.

We had originally agreed to get engaged on the 11th, but now it’s already late October and there has been no movement from the Fu family.

And now Fu Chen has recovered and it doesn't affect the engagement.

In addition, Liu Yiwen felt that it was his own fault that implicated his sister, and he felt very guilty.

After staying for a while, Fu Chen left the hospital.

When I got home, Ms. Yuan had just got off work.

Ms. Yuan has been trying to lose weight recently and doesn't dare to eat too much, but she is greedy and always wants to eat.

Now that I see my son back, I suddenly have an excuse.

"Fu Chen, why are you back? Have you eaten?" Ms. Yuan asked, "Auntie Wang, please cook a few more dishes tonight. Fu Chen should come back for dinner, too."

"I understand, ma'am." Wang Ma replied.

After making tea for Ms. Yuan and Fu Chen, Aunt Wang went to the kitchen to cook.

Fu Chen rubbed his face, calmed down, and said, "Originally, Meilan and I were going to get engaged on the 11th, but it has been delayed for so long. Now that I have fully recovered, can we get engaged?"

"This..." Ms. Yuan was stunned. She didn't expect her son to suddenly bring up this matter. "It's been a long time. I have to discuss this matter with your father, grandparents, and others."

Fu Chen asked again: "Did you tell the Liu family about canceling the engagement?"

Ms. Yuan felt a little guilty and fidgeted. "Since you were injured, the engagement naturally couldn't go ahead. The Liu family also knew about it, but they didn't specifically tell them."

Fu Chen raised his head and looked at Ms. Yuan, "Mom, is it because of Liu Yiwen's incident that Dad and Grandpa don't want to marry into the Liu family?"

"No way?" Ms. Yuan lowered her eyes, not daring to look her son in the eye. "Did Meilan tell you something? Actually, Xiaochen, don't get me wrong. Some things are not what you think!"

Fu Chen shook his head. "You think too much. Meilan never said anything in front of me. But the people in the Liu family are not stupid. They all saw your actions."

"Then... why are you asking this suddenly?" Ms. Yuan asked, "I'm really curious, what happened?"

Fu Chen replied: "Meilan and Aunt Xie came to Beijing to visit my sister-in-law Tang Ying who fainted due to pregnancy. She came here and didn't call me, you or anyone else in the family."

Ms. Yuan fidgeted, "Then how did you know?"

"Yang Hao went to the hospital to visit Zhang Yang's grandfather and met Meilan." Fu Chen replied, "I thought my family would take my marriage very seriously. But now it seems that I was too naive. From the beginning to the end, perhaps you didn't really like to accept Meilan, but just thought that the Liu family would benefit us."

"Now that I've discovered that the Liu family is at risk, I'm starting to hesitate, but I can't just cancel the engagement. I even want to delay it for two years to see how the Liu family performs before deciding whether to cancel the engagement. Mom, is that right?"

Ms. Yuan's face flushed slightly, it seemed that this was indeed what her family planned.

In order to make Fu Chen accept it, the old man pretended to have nightmares and feel unwell, and even believed in superstition that Fu Chen's marriage in the next two years would bring bad luck to him.

"Fu Chen, don't think too much. This is all for the good of the Fu family and for your own good. After all, it's not easy to earn military merits with your life and death. We just hope that you can go further."

When Fu Chen heard this, his eyes were full of disappointment and sadness. "I used to look down on the Qian family's behavior. When something happened to my daughter-in-law's family, they immediately asked their son and daughter-in-law to divorce, completely ignoring the fact that this woman had given birth to several children for the Qian family."

"I thought at the time that our Fu family is not like this. We should share happiness and difficulties. No matter what difficulties we encounter, as long as the family works together, we can always overcome the difficulties. But since when did our family become so calculating?"

"I don't know what you are thinking. Since you despise the Liu family, you let me enjoy the care of Liu Meilan and the Liu family with peace of mind. Just because Liu Meilan likes me, should she be ignored like this?"

Ms. Yuan had never heard her son say so many words in one breath, and she felt mixed emotions. "Fu Chen, for a family like ours, if we don't move forward, we will regress. The consequences will be disastrous. We can't make a single mistake."

"Your generation has eleven brothers and sisters. So far, those who have made it have made it, and those who have not have made it are relatively well-behaved. Our Fu family has always been strict with ourselves, but that doesn't mean that others should do the same."

Fu Chen's eyes were red. "I have always understood this truth, and I am willing to work harder for the Fu family. But I will never sacrifice my love and happiness."

"Mom, I don't know what your relationship with Dad was like when you were young, but Meilan and I have a deep relationship. If I can't be with her, my heart will be broken, and I will never like another woman again."

Ms. Yuan opened her mouth and looked at Fu Chen with a guilty look in her eyes. "Fu Chen, don't worry. I will tell your father about this. Now that I know Professor Xie and Meilan are here, I will bring some supplements and go to the hospital to visit Meilan's sister-in-law tomorrow."

Fu Chen lowered his head, feeling disappointed, but he also made a secret decision.

Some things can only be obtained by fighting for them yourself.

No one will take the initiative to give it to him, even his relatives.

Fu Chen only drank a bowl of porridge in the evening and went back to his room to rest.

Ms. Yuan was very nervous and waited until 8:30 before Fu Weiguo came home.

"Weiguo, you're finally back." Ms. Yuan said as she helped Fu Weiguo take off his coat and put away his bag.

Fu Weiguo was a little surprised, "What's going on tonight? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Ms. Yuan nodded, "It's a big deal. Fu Chen met Meilan today..."

Fu Weiguo was stunned, "How is Fu Chen now?"

"He is my son, how can I not understand him?" Ms. Yuan frowned. "This child looks gentle and refined since he was young, but he is actually very stubborn. Fu Chen has already guessed what you and the old man are doing now. If he can't be with Meilan, he will hate you and will never be happy for the rest of his life."

Fu Weiguo scratched his head and said, "Because of this incident, I have to go to Baiyun Temple tomorrow to meet the old man."

"Go ahead and tell the old man to stop making trouble." Ms. Yuan complained. She didn't want to sacrifice her son's happiness for someone else's.
