Chapter 38: Chapter 38 Who Says | Don’t Have a Girlfriend?
"This guy must be sick in the head—who chooses a hospital for a blind date!"
The woman who got out of the taxi walked over to Bai Xue, grumbling all the way.
In her early twenties, she should have been attractive, but with her heavy makeup, dark under-eye circles,
reeking of alcohol, and her somewhat saggy figure, there was nothing youthful about her.
"This is my cousin, Fangfang."
Bai Xue awkwardly wrapped her arm around Fangfang’s shoulder and introduced her to Lin Fan.
"Who's this?"
Fangfang squinted her eyes, sizing up Lin Fan across from her.
"I guess I'm the guy you're calling mentally sick, but letclarify | didn’t choose to meet here, my mother
insisted | come."
Lin Fan forced a smile. Though the coarse Fangfang wasn’t appealing to him, standing next to Bai Xue somehow
made her more attractive, causing him to involuntarily focus his attention on Bai Xue.
Just then, Lin Fan's mother and another woman cout, followed by a young man, with a girl in her early
twenties beside him. Seeing the three people at the door, she immediately walked over smiling, "You're all
chatting, how does it feel?"
"Mom, it’s just a coincidence."
Lin Fan looked awkwardly at his mother. The only good thing about this visit was getting Bai Xue’s contact
information. As for everything else, well, forget about it.
"Well, since you all chatted, let's not beat around the bush and talk about marriage."
Fangfang’s mother, with her arm around Fangfang’s shoulder, made Lin Fan speechless, "Isn't this too hasty?"
"You're not getting any younger. If we don’t hurry, when will your parents get to see their grandchildren? We're
quite satisfied with your qualifications, so if possible, we could have the wedding next month."

Fangfang’s mother smiled, "We won't ask for much for a dowry, just 500,000 will do. Also, our Fangfang can’t
marry too far away. Buy her a three-bedroom house here in the County, so her dad and | can move in and take
care of Fangfang."
"Five hundred thousand for a dowry... that’s actually not too expensive by the pound."
Lin Fan muttered to himself but couldn't say it out loud with his mother nearby. However, his mother nodded
repeatedly, "Sure, sure, whatever the in-laws want, his father and I will figure something out."
"Also, although our Fangfang is not a delicate lady, she’s never had to do chores. If she bears children in the
future, we'd need to hire someone specifically to care for them, she certainly can’t be cooking or doing laundry."
Fangfang’s mother continued.
"If you're moving over to take care of Fangfang, why would we need to hire someone else?"
Lin Fan couldn’t help but ask, curious.
"Right, we can take care of Fangfang but not the children. Do you expect me, as your mother-in-law, to serve you
too?"
Fangfang’s mother spoke haughtily, "Of course, all this is for later, but there's something we need to make clear
first. My son doesn’t have a job, so could you give up yours in the City for Fangfang’s brother, and then find
another one in the County to stay close to home..."
"Wait... | should give up my job for your son... Do you even know what | do?"
Lin Fan quickly stopped Fangfang’s mother, as the more he listened, the more absurd it got, while Fangfang’s
brother said arrogantly behind him, "No shit, why else would we care about someone from the countryside if you
weren't a civil servant? Also, that car of yours is decent. Transfer it to me, and you can buy a new one later."
"The dowry for you, a job for you, the car also for you, and you want your parents to move into my place? What
are you going to do as their son?"
Lin Fan frowned, looking at this absurd family, thinking they must be all sick in the head.
"Of course my house is mine, and | plan to marry my girlfriend too, that dowry should go to her, after all, | need
to give her a grand entrance. Besides, we prefer being just the two of us; we don’t like anyone disturbing our
happy life."
Fangfang’s brother sneered shamelessly.
"So, everyone else’s sons just deserve to be unlucky, huh? Forget it, your daughter is so wonderful, you better
keep her for yourselves."
Lin Fan pulled his mother’s arm and walked away. This family was not trying to marry off their daughter; they
were trying to rob a rich person! Upon hearing this, the girl in Fangfang’s brother's arms was the first to rebel,
pointing at his nose and saying, "Didn't you say it was set in stone? Without a $50,000 dowry and a car, don’t
even think about marrying me."
As his girlfriend strutted away, Fangfang’s brother sat on the ground with a thud, "Mom, I don’t have a girlfriend
anymore. Our family lineage will end...I don’t care...| want to be a civil servant and get a wife..."
"It’s okay, it's okay, your mom is here. I'll think of something,"
Fangfang’s mother hurriedly comforted her son. The spectacle left Bai Xue standing there, dumbfounded, too
scared to utter a word.
And at that moment, the robust Fangfang blocked Lin Fan’s path, "Hey, if you can’t handle this simple task and
you've turned my house into a mess, you're really makinglose face."
"Are you all crazy? If you got to save face, my family would be ruined."
Lin Fan contemptuously looked at the chaotic family. This time, even his mother remained silent, for such bizarre
people truly were a rare sight.
"You loser, deserve to be single for life!"
Furious, Fangfang stamped her foot, pointing and cursing at Lin Fan. Just then, a Mercedes pulled up nearby, the
door opened, and a tall figure stepped out.
"Who says Feng doesn’t have a girlfriend?"
Dressed in jeans and a T-shirt, Chu Shihan approached with a cold face, confidently grabbed Lin Fan's arm, and
looked proudly at Fangfang, "I am his girlfriend."
"You... you have a girlfriend and still cto matchmaking!"
Fangfang’s face flushed even redder as she stared at the youthful and radiant Chu Shihan.

"l only cto see my mom, when did | agree to matchmaking with you?"
Lin Fan wrapped his arms around Chu Shihan’s waist, turned his head towards his mother and said, "Mom, so
much has happened since | got back, and | never got a chance to tell you guys, this is my new girlfriend, Chu
Shihan, a colleague who works at the government offices of Provincial City."
"Hello, auntie, you can just callHan Han. I've been a bit busy these days, so | just got the chance to visit
you... oh, wait, | brought gifts."
Chu Shihan, her face blushing, suddenly smacked her head and hurried back to the car, grabbing several fancy
gift boxes from the trunk before running back.
"People are here, why bring all this?"
Looking at Chu Shihan’s dazzlingly beautiful face, this daughter-in-law was far more gorgeous than Lin Fan's ex-
girlfriend. Fangfang couldn’t compare at all.
"Leaving tonight?"
Lin Fan smiled as he took the gift boxes, held Chu Shihan’s waist, and whispered in her ear with a low voice.
"I'll leave tomorrow morning."
Chu shihan blushed, everyone knew what was going to happen tonight.
"Okay, let's first visit dad."
Grinning wickedly, Lin Fan licked his lips and took Chu Shihan into the hospital.
Meanwhile, Fangfang’s family was still creating a raucous at the entrance, especially Fangfang’s brother, who
was pulling at his mother’s hand, "Mom, that woman is beautiful, | want her for a daughter-in-law... Go talk to
that fool, let Fangfang trade places with him!"
"Okay, okay..."
Fangfang’s mother glanced at Bai Xue, "Hey cousin, go tell him, just swap girlfriends, and we'll cut the dowry in
half!"
Bai Xue held her head, aware that her cousin’s family was not usually sane, and now, they seemed even more
so.
