Xiao Yiyi quickly asked, "Mom, when did all this happen? Why didn't you tell us earlier?"

Zhang Hui wasn't bothered and said softly, "A few days ago, I called your aunt to ask about Chen Xuan."

"Later, your aunt called me back, and I told her that Chen Xuan was coming over to treat your dad. She said she would come visit your dad in a few days."

"Just tonight before going to sleep, your aunt called me, saying they would set off tomorrow morning and arrive here in the afternoon."

What?

Xiao Yiyi looked quite unusual, turning her head towards Chen Xuan, wondering what to do.

Chen Xuan also forced a bitter smile; the thing he feared most was about to happen.

He needed to find a way to stop it; they couldn't meet.

"Mother-in-law, better not let them come over."

"Something just happened at home tonight, and everyone's anxious..."

Zhang Hui looked at him blankly, "Didn't you just say that you already took care of Wang Yanzhang and eliminated the crisis?"

Uh...

Chen Xuan almost wished he could slap himself, taking back what he just said.

But, what's said can't be unsaid.

If he had known earlier that Lin Zhiguo and Zhang Ru were coming, he wouldn't have been so absolute.

Now he's caught between a rock and a hard place.

Chen Xuan was desperately thinking of ways to stop them, "Mother-in-law, can't we ask them not to come tomorrow?"

"If they meet... it'll be awkward. There are things... that I can't tell you right now."

Zhang Hui waved her hand with a smile, "Chen Xuan, I understand your worries. It's just that my elder sister is biased against you."

"Don't worry, tomorrow I'll explain to her clearly and remove the misunderstanding about you."

"Please don't!"

Chen Xuan quickly raised his hand to stop her; explaining would make things worse.

"What's wrong, Chen Xuan? You're acting strange tonight," Zhang Hui looked at him in perplexity.

Xiao Wencheng chuckled, "Chen Xuan, you needn't worry. You've registered with Yiyi; you're our son-in-law."

"No matter what your aunt says, it can't change that fact. As long as we've accepted you, there's no need to care about others' opinions."

Zhang Hui nodded in agreement, "Your father-in-law is right! Chen Xuan, just rest assured."

"No matter what my sister says about you, I won't take it seriously. We've seen your performance and won't easily believe others' words."

Chen Xuan smiled helplessly, truly grateful to the old couple for recognizing him as their son-in-law.

The problem is... you two don't know the situation.

This is quite the pickle!

Back in the bedroom, Xiao Yiyi wasn't sleepy at all, looking distressed.

"Chen Xuan, my aunt and uncle are coming tomorrow afternoon, there's no changing it now."

"If they meet... what should we do?"

Xiao Yiyi was anxious, "Besides, how are you going to address them?"

"I can just call them aunt and uncle, but you can't, right? You've already started calling them in-laws."

Chen Xuan was worried too; no matter how carefully he handled it, passing this hurdle was tough.

If he calls out "father-in-law," and Lin Zhiguo and Xiao Wencheng both respond, the scene... haha, can't even imagine!

Definitely a massive embarrassment!

"Don't panic. There's always a way out. We need to stay calm and respond positively."

"Let's aim to bluff our way through! Deal with this first!"

Chen Xuan said this, but inside he was more anxious than anyone.

Even when facing life-and-death moments, he wasn't this tense.

"Chen Xuan, why don't you call my cousin and ask her to persuade them not to come?"

Xiao Yiyi looked at him expectantly, "This is the only measure we can take now; I can't call my cousin easily."

Chen Xuan sighed, "Okay, guess we have no other choice."

He helplessly called Lin Wanxi, briefly explaining the situation.

Chen Xuan with a dry smile said, "Wanxi, we can only ask you to persuade your parents not to come tomorrow."

"Otherwise... if we sit together tomorrow, it'll be immensely awkward. Worse yet, it might lead to bigger issues."

Lin Wanxi snorted, annoyed, "Now you realize it's awkward? Why didn't you consider these issues before?"

"I won't get involved in this. You handled it quite well before, so deal with it yourself."

Me...

Chen Xuan felt a pang in his teeth, this witch is enjoying the chaos, purposely making things harder for him.

But he couldn't blame Lin Wanxi; she's always had grievances regarding this matter.

"Wanxi, it's not just about this; mainly, it's unsafe over here."

"I need to ensure your parents' safety..."

Chen Xuan had no choice but to lie about Wang Yanzhang's situation without mentioning he'd resolved it.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanxi became worried.

"Why didn't you say earlier!" Lin Wanxi couldn't stay calm, "I'll call mom and dad tomorrow morning and tell them to cancel the trip, be careful over there too."

"Alright, let's leave it at that, no need to worry about me."

Chen Xuan hung up the phone, completely relieved, "Yiyi, now we can sleep soundly."

Xiao Yiyi exhaled deeply, "That scared me to death, good thing you were smart and came up with this plan."

Chen Xuan smiled helplessly, ultimately having lied to Lin Wanxi.

...

One night passed.

When they got up the next morning, Zhang Hui looked at Chen Xuan with an odd expression, "Why did you lie to my sister, saying Wang Yanzhang's situation wasn't resolved?"

Hmm?

Chen Xuan was taken aback, "Mother-in-law, I had no other choice; how did you talk to her?"

"It's all been handled; there's nothing to worry about."

Zhang Hui rolled her eyes, "They'll arrive at the station around two in the afternoon, you, Yiyi, and Dongzi go to the train station to pick them up."

What?

Chen Xuan inhaled sharply, realizing all the trouble was for nothing!

What's meant to happen will happen...
