I'm back in 1990

Chapter 789: Helping Others Achieve Their Beauty

Both Huang Erhe and Cheng Jing understood that this was the last obstacle in Cheng's mother's mind.

At this point, Huang Erhe explained, "Mom, age is both important and unimportant. I think Chen Zhe is a more stable and tolerant person, which isn't a bad thing for my younger sister. As for the fact that he's divorced and has children, I've already found out from my brother. His ex-wife has settled abroad with the children and won't be coming back, so we don't need to worry about it."

Moreover, my brother said that Chen Zhe is someone who puts most of his mind into academic research, and his lifestyle is perfectly fine. Otherwise, someone like my brother wouldn't have been friends with him for so many years.

"Dad, Mom! To be honest, given Chen Zhe's current status and future prospects, plus my brother's relationship with him, I don't know how many people would want to marry him. I've heard from my brother that some female teachers at Chen Zhe's school have been pursuing him, but unfortunately, Chen Zhe isn't interested. Now, Chen Zhe genuinely likes our little sister, which is truly a rare and wonderful thing!"

Huang Erhe's words hit the nail on the head, completely changing Cheng's parents' minds.

Cheng's father stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and said, "Since Erhe's younger brother is willing to act as matchmaker, it means that Chen Zhe's character and ability are definitely not in question. In the past, we always disliked him because he was too old. In the end, it was because we were uncultured and short-sighted."

At this moment, Cheng Jing, who was heavily pregnant, said, "Yes! Mom, look, my little sister has been living away for so long, but you and Dad still think about her every day. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming up in a few days. It would be so nice for our family to be together. I think we should take this opportunity to have Chen Zhe come over to our house to get acquainted and have a meal together. You two can also take a look at the place yourself. If you're satisfied, then let him marry my little sister as soon as possible. That would put your minds at ease."

Cheng's youngest daughter-in-law, Xing Jia, also smiled and advised, "Yes! Fourth Sister and Fourth Brother-in-law are right. Besides, there's the connection of Fourth Brother-in-law's younger brother. I think Professor Chen must be excellent in every way. If he weren't Cheng Ling's boyfriend, I would have introduced him to my cousin."

Cheng's mother was a straightforward person. Seeing that her family members all agreed to the matter, she simply nodded and agreed: "Since you all said so, I certainly can't say no anymore. Otherwise, I would be the bad guy and you would all be the good guys. So, let's do as you say."

Cheng's father said to his fourth son-in-law with a kind smile, "Erhe, please tell your brother and Chen Zhe that we'd like Chen Zhe to come over for a simple meal during the Mid-Autumn Festival!"

Cheng's father also emphasized the Mid-Autumn Festival and family in his words, the meaning of which is self-evident.

Huang Erhe breathed a sigh of relief; the mission was successfully completed.

He laughed and patted his chest, promising, "Dad, don't worry! I'll definitely pass on the message."

Cheng Jing then asked Huang Erhe for his phone: "I'll call my little sister right now and tell her to move back tonight."

After the call connected, Cheng Ling's voice came from the other end: "Fourth Sister? What made you think of calling me at this time? When I saw it was Fourth Brother-in-law calling, I thought you were about to give birth!"

Cheng Jing laughed upon hearing this: "Don't talk nonsense. My due date isn't until February next year, it's still a long way off! I'm calling you because I have some good news to tell you."

"What good news could be bigger than you giving birth?" Cheng Ling hadn't realized that the good news Cheng Jing was talking about was related to her.

Cheng Jing didn't keep her sister in suspense and told her directly what had just happened: "Mom and Dad want you to bring Chen Zhe home for dinner during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Cheng Ling still didn't believe it: "Fourth Sister, you're not joking with me, okay?"

Because it was on speakerphone, everyone in the living room heard it and laughed. Xing Jia even leaned closer to the phone and said, "Fourth Sister isn't lying to you, it really is what Mom and Dad said. If you don't believe me, let them tell you."

Hearing laughter and her sister-in-law's words on the other end of the phone, Cheng Ling was filled with unbelievable joy. She eagerly asked again, "Dad and Mom really said that?"

Cheng Ling was caught off guard by her parents' sudden change of heart.

Cheng Jing smiled and explained to her, "You really need to thank your fourth brother-in-law and his brother. You don't know, do you? Chen Zhe is Erhe's younger brother's college classmate, and the two of them are very close. After your fourth brother-in-law's brother found out about this, he specifically went to your fourth brother-in-law and asked him to come back and persuade our parents. He even offered to personally act as matchmaker for you and Chen Zhe. Since he's said all that, it means Chen Zhe's abilities and character are definitely top-notch. Do you think Dad and Mom would disagree?"

Cheng Ling was stunned when she heard this. She knew that her fourth brother-in-law's younger brother had graduated from the University of Finance and Economics and had taught there. He was an alumnus of Chen Zhe's school, but she did not expect that he and Chen Zhe had such a relationship. Chen Zhe had never mentioned this relationship to her.

Unexpectedly, her relationship with Chen Zhe was the reason she received her parents' approval. It was truly dramatic.

But having finally gained her parents' approval and consent, Cheng Ling felt a surge of immense joy.

At this moment, Cheng Jing urged, "Are you happy now? Hurry up and pack your things. I'll have your fourth brother-in-law come and pick you up right now."

At this moment, Cheng Yiwu stepped forward: "I'll go! I'll go pick up my little sister. Fourth brother-in-law is usually very busy, so please don't let him go."

Cheng's mother quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, Xiao Wu, go pick up your little sister!"

Cheng Ling, who was on the other end of the phone, heard everything. She said to Cheng Jing, "Fourth Sister, I understand. I'll pack my bags right now."

The moment the call ended, Cheng Yiwu drove off to pick up Cheng Ling.

"Mom, is there anything to eat at home? All this commotion has made me hungry again." Cheng Jing, who is nearing her due date, complained that she needed to eat, mainly because she was carrying the energy of two people and needed to replenish her energy frequently.

"Yes, yes! I'll make it for you right now." Hearing that her fourth daughter wanted to eat something, Cheng's mother quickly headed to the kitchen.

At this moment, Cheng's father said to his fourth son-in-law, "Erhe, you and your brother helped a lot with my younger sister's matter this time! I want to thank you both properly."

Huang Erhe laughed and said, "Dad! Why are you being so polite with me? In the end, it's just that my little sister and Chen Zhe are destined to be together. Xiao Chuan and I were just going along with it."

Cheng's father waved his hand: "Don't be modest. If it weren't for your brother acting as matchmaker, your mother and I wouldn't have agreed so quickly. If your little sister and Chen Zhe really get together, we'll have to thank you and your brother properly."

After Huang Erhe returned home with his wife and children, he immediately called his younger brother, Huang Xiaochuan.

"Xiao Chuan, what you told me is settled. Your second sister-in-law's parents want Cheng Ling to bring Chen Zhe home for dinner during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Upon hearing the news, Huang Xiaochuan laughed: "I understand, thank you, Second Brother!"

"Why are you being so polite with me? This is a good thing for Zhimei, after all. It's getting late, I'm hanging up."
