Chapter 732 Showdown
Wang Xiaomi took the opportunity to run out, and Lao Liu just happened to block Wang Lanfang who was about to leave.

"She left, and he actually dared to leave!" Wang Lanfang shouted at Lao Liu angrily: "Why are you stopping me?"

Old Liu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "What's going on? It's like catching a fugitive!"

Wang Lanfang was immediately furious when he heard this and sighed:

"Oh, it's all your fault. Why did you come here to join in the fun for no reason?"

Afterwards, Lao Liu tried to comfort her, but seeing that Wang Lanfang still ignored him, he said anxiously:

"Tell me what you need, if there's anything I can do for you, I can make amends. As long as it's your order, I'll go through fire and water, I won't hesitate!"

Wang Lanfang sat up suddenly, and then said solemnly: "You are the one who said this~!"

"I swear to God~!"

"Okay, you'll do this tomorrow~~~~~!"

······
Lin Hao returned home and opened the door to find Ma Li exercising on the yoga mat. He then smiled and said:

"What are you doing lying on the ground?"

"You still remember to come back!" As soon as Ma Li opened her mouth, her yoga posture instantly deflated, and then she asked curiously:
"How was your meeting with the parents today?"

Lin Hao did not answer the question, but poured himself a glass of water, then asked seriously:
"How was your date with Lu Kuan today?"

Ma Li paused when she heard this, and then said with a guilty conscience:
"I've already told you, Lu Kuan and I are just classmates, what are you thinking? If you do this again, I'll ignore you!"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about the wide road!" Then Lin Hao sat on the sofa with a cup of water and said:
"Ma Li, let me ask you a question. If you bring home a boyfriend in the future, what will you do if your dad doesn't agree?"

Ma Li was confused again when she heard this. How could she not get around this topic? So she said unhappily:
"If you don't agree, then don't agree. I like him!"

"You are an ungrateful bastard, and a little cotton-padded jacket that has no air in it!" Lin Hao said unhappily.

"Eh~!" Mary reacted at this time, and then said curiously:

"From what you said just now, your Wang Xiaomi family wouldn't agree with you two being together, would they?"

"Ok!"

"No wonder you're so angry!"

Ma Li stopped doing yoga and sat on the yoga mat and asked, "What's Wang Xiaomi's attitude?"

As soon as the words came out, Mary said quickly:
"Wait, don't tell me yet, let me guess!"

Thinking of what Lin Hao said just now, Ma Li speculated:

"Wang Xiaomi's family will definitely not agree, but she will be with you no matter what, right?"

"Smart!" Lin Hao said while lying on the sofa: "You know her well!"

"Ha, don't forget where I met her. She's just a big kid now, and her rebellious phase hasn't ended yet!"

"What should we do now? Do you think we can be together?" Lin Hao continued to test.

"But if she can rebel for her whole life, when she comes to her senses and feels that she has suffered a loss and regrets it, then you two can separate and you won't suffer a loss!"

"Is your father that kind of person?" Lin Hao said unhappily.

However, Lin Hao was also surprised by Ma Li's guess. He didn't know if it was an accident. Men really didn't suffer any loss with this thing.

Ma Li already had a good impression of Wang Xiaomi, so she added:

"But to be honest, Wang Xiaomi is not giving up now, and if you give up, that would be really unfair!"

"But if you don't want to give up, then you have to be prepared for eight years of resistance!"

Ma Li rarely spoke from her heart, so Lin Hao took the opportunity to say:
"Lily, we haven't had a heart-to-heart talk for a long time. I really want to know what you think!"

"If you were in my shoes, what would you think if I married Wang Xiaomi?"

Mary opened her mouth, hesitated for a while, and then said:

"I don't know either. Your adult world is really too complicated!"

Mary thought about how her mother had just divorced in the morning and went out with her father's best brother in the afternoon. She also learned from her father that there were so many secrets between the three of them.

As for the father, he obviously knew the truth, but he also divorced her without hesitation and found a young and beautiful one soon after!

His parents' behavior made him realize that their marriage could not be maintained and could not be saved.

So she was relieved. The only thing she couldn't let go of was probably that her mother chose Manou to follow her instead of herself!
But relatively speaking, she actually prefers to follow Lao Ma, especially this handsome Lao Ma, who is quite cheerful and open-minded!

Seeing his cheap daughter daydreaming, Lin Hao pushed Ma Li with his shoe and said, "What are you thinking about? You're so absent-minded!"

Mary came back to her senses, then shook her head and said:
"It depends on the situation!" Then, Mary thought for a moment and said:
"Speaking of which, my first impression of Wang Xiaomi is pretty good. I can't stop her from joining our family, but if she wants to get my approval, I definitely have to investigate her a little bit!"

"Ding-ling-dong-long-dong~!" At this time, Lin Hao's cell phone suddenly rang.

Lin Hao picked it up and took a look. It turned out to be a call from Wang Xiaomi. After answering the call, he said:
"What's wrong Xiaomi, is there anything wrong?"

"Uncle, I'm homeless~~~!"

It turned out that after Wang Xiaomi left home, she calmed down and didn't know where to go with her luggage.

Although Lin Hao bought the house and gave her the key, it was the wedding house they had prepared after all. It would be inappropriate for her to live in it alone!

I don’t want to go back home, I don’t want to listen to my mother’s nagging, and I’m hesitating whether to stay in a hotel?
"Hey, you're crazy, why should I stay in a hotel?" Thinking of this, Wang Xiaomi was no longer in a daze, picked up the phone and called Lin Hao.

After Lin Hao hung up the phone, he said to Ma Li:
"Lily, you said you wanted to investigate Wang Xiaomi, right?"

"What's wrong!" Lily asked curiously.

Lin Hao said mysteriously:
"Wang Xiaomi ran away from home and is now homeless. How about letting her stay with you for a night? This is a good opportunity for you to get to know her and see what kind of person she is."

The reason why Lin Hao made such arrangements, besides making it difficult for Wang Xiaomi to stay in a hotel or a wedding house, the most important thing was that he wanted them to have more contact with each other and lay a good foundation for living together in the future!

"Ah~!" Ma Li exclaimed when she heard this and asked, "Did she have a falling out with her family?"

Lin Hao nodded and said, "Yes, her mother tried every means to separate us, so she ran away from home with her luggage!"

"Too immature to run away from home!" Ma Li said insincerely, but her eyes were shining as she spoke, and she seemed eager to try!

Lin Hao looked at the somewhat excited Ma Li and said, "Why do I feel like you are gloating?"

"Is it that obvious?" Ma Li blurted out, and then quickly covered her mouth. "Okay, I won't argue with you anymore. She hasn't come to our house yet. I'll go pick her up!" Lin Hao stood up and left.

······
After a while, Lin Hao saw Wang Xiaomi getting off a taxi downstairs, and Lin Hao hurried forward to help her with her suitcase.

Bringing Wang Xiaomi to the elevator door, Lin Hao asked curiously, "What happened? You didn't explain clearly on the phone. Did you really run away from home?"

Wang Xiaomi hugged Lin Hao's arm and said unhappily, "What else can I do? As soon as I got home, she pretended to be sick and refused to let me be with you!"

"So, I have to show my mom some power~~~!"

As they were talking, the two of them went upstairs. Lin Hao opened the door, and as soon as he opened the door, he found Ma Li standing there in a daze.

"What are you doing?" Lin Hao said with a smile: "You are just standing there as a door god!"

"I'm just worried that you forgot to bring your keys!" Ma Li said stubbornly, and then looked at Wang Xiaomi behind Lin Hao.

"Lily, nice to see you again!" Wang Xiaomi greeted her proactively.

"Long time no see!" Don't say it's been a long time. In fact, I haven't contacted Wang Xiaomi since I knew that she was in love with Lin Hao.

Ma Li looked at Wang Xiaomi with a complicated expression, but still made way to let the two in.

Seeing that Ma Li did not dislike her, Wang Xiaomi was delighted and followed Lin Hao into the room.

Afterwards, the three of them sat in the living room. The atmosphere was a little awkward, but with Lin Hao's tactful approach, the three of them gradually started chatting.

The topic gradually changed from politeness to talking about how Lin Hao and Wang Xiaomi met, and how they got to know each other and fell in love.

At the same time, they also talked about Ma Li and Lin Hao's family situation, and the relationship between the three of them became more and more harmonious.

After a long while, watching Wang Xiaomi and Ma Li talking more and more, Lin Hao checked the time and said:

"Okay, Ma Li, you still have to go to school tomorrow, and Xiaomi also has things to do tomorrow, so go to bed early!"

As he spoke, Lin Hao winked at Ma Li. Ma Li thought of Lao Ma's previous suggestion and said:

"Let Sister Xiaomi stay in my room tonight. It just so happens that Manjue is not here, so she can stay here!"

"Really? Is it true?" Wang Xiaomi said with some emotion in her heart.

Ma Li said helplessly: "You had a falling out with your family because of my dad and even ran away from home. What else can I do? I can't just watch you live on the streets!"

Wang Xiaomi was very happy. The situation was much better than she had imagined. At least Ma Li did not reject her.

At least what she didn't know was that Lin Hao had already made arrangements by manipulating the situation.

······
next day
Lin Hao prepared a sumptuous breakfast. Wang Xiaomi was still sleeping in, so Lin Hao and Ma Li had breakfast together.

"Lily, how was your conversation with Xiaomi last night? Can we get along?" Lin Hao said as he poured Ma Li a glass of milk.

"Not bad, not a difficult person to get along with!" At this point, Mary hesitated for a moment, and finally said:
"But I always feel, feel, um~!"

"What do you feel?" Lin Hao asked.

"How should I put it?" Ma Li thought for a moment, and finally said, "It feels like Sister Xiaomi is trying to snatch you from me!"

"What kind of words are you talking about?" Lin Hao said with a smile: "But it's not wrong. After all, we will live together in the future!"

"No, no, no, that's not right. That's not what I meant!" Mary hesitated and said uncertainly, "I always feel like she's trying to steal my dad from me!"

"Poof, cough cough!" Lin Hao just drank a sip of milk and sprayed it out: "You're overthinking it!"

Lin Hao was amazed in his heart, how could this kid's intuition be so accurate!
Lin Hao glanced at the time and urged, "Okay, let's go to school after eating!"

"You're not going to school!" Mary asked curiously.

"There are no classes in the morning. You can't leave your sister Xiaomi alone at home! It's not appropriate!" Lin Hao said with a smile.

Seeing Ma Li staring at him blankly, Lin Hao asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me?"

"Dad, you are so anxious to send me away, are you planning to do something bad?" Mary said suspiciously.

"What are you thinking about?" Lin Hao said unhappily, "Who do you think your father is? Am I such a casual person?"

Ma Li thought about it, thought about Lin Hao's character, and shook her head.

Just when Ma Li breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Hao suddenly said, "I'm going to get the marriage certificate with your sister Xiaomi!"

Originally, Lin Hao was planning to get his marriage certificate with Wang Xiaomi today, but yesterday's events were too sudden, so he didn't tell Ma Li in advance.

If she hadn't told this matter in advance, Ma Li would definitely feel uncomfortable, and complications would definitely arise, and who knows what kind of trouble might happen. So Lin Hao took the opportunity to tell her.

"Pfft, what did you say?" This time it was Ma Li's turn to spit out milk. Then Ma Li looked at Lin Hao in disbelief and said, "Get the certificate? Are you serious?"

"What else?" Lin Hao pretended to be pitiful and said:
"Look at me, I'm already old, and it's rare for me to meet a woman who is willing to do anything for me. Moreover, she even quarreled with her family over this. If I don't do anything, I would be so heartless!"

Ma Li looked at the young and handsome Lin Hao, who was brimming with a sunny smile. He didn't look like a middle-aged man at all. It would be a shame to say that young people under 30 are guilty!

Although she couldn't bear to see Lin Hao being narcissistic, she didn't want to say anything against her will. However, Ma Li couldn't help but said, "Don't change the subject!"

But then Mary didn’t know what to say. She felt that things happened too fast and for a moment she didn’t know how to respond.

At this time, Lin Hao said, "Lily, what do you mean? Give me the answer!"

Ma Li turned her little face to the side and said gloomily, "What can I mean? Can I change your mind if I say I don't agree?"

"Lily, I must consider your feelings on this matter. If you really don't agree~!"

Lin Hao touched Ma Li's little head and finally said, "Then let's talk about this later!"

Ma Li looked at Lin Hao in a daze. She originally rejected it in her heart, but when she saw her father's loving eyes, her heart couldn't help but tremble.

Thinking back on her father's tolerance towards her and what happened between her mother and Zhao Ling, she felt that she shouldn't be so selfish.

But she still said with some reluctance in her heart: "Are you so sure that Sister Xiaomi will agree to marry you and go with you to get the marriage certificate!"

Lin Hao didn't say anything, but there was a hint of melancholy in his eyes!
Ma Li sighed in her heart, then stood up, picked up her schoolbag and said:

"I have no say in your marriage, but as I said, whether I accept her or not is my business!"

"I'm going to school!" Mary said and turned and left.
