Chapter 699: Chapter 699: First Visit_1

She accepted without hesitation.

In heartiness, she said:

"That’s great!

My parents will surely be thrilled by the news, and everyone in my family will welcome your visit.

Well...

Shall we depart the day after tomorrow? I will contact home to inform them of our plan and request they prepare in advance.

The esteemed Duma Speaker visiting our home certainly requires a grand reception."

Although she said this half-jokingly, there was truth in her words.

Given Wang Ye’s current status, a visit to the Rossiyana family could not simply be casually received.

It would need to be grand enough to match Wang Ye’s status!

It was indeed necessary to prepare two days in advance.

Wang Ye pondered, and with a touch of hesitation, asked, "Who are the elders in your family, and how many gifts should I prepare? I wouldn’t want to be rude by being ill-prepared."

After all, this visit to the Rossiyana family wasn’t entirely for business purposes.

Even though it remained unspoken, everyone knew about the relationship between him and Rossiyana, implying that the "visit of the future son-in-law" was also on the agenda...

So, certain formalities and gifts are inevitable.

Rossiyana smirked, happily saying, "Your visit alone is the biggest gift. Don’t worry, my family won’t mind that. If you feel uncomfortable coming empty-handed, just bring a couple of bottles of wine. My grandfather likes to drink."

Upon reflection, Wang Ye determined that he couldn’t follow what ordinary people do, preparing gifts for every single relative of the Rossiyana family.

It didn’t match his status.

He guessed that he would only be speaking with Rossiyana’s grandfather. Everyone else, even Rossiyana’s parents, would play secondary roles!

...

Two days later, Wang Ye and Rossiyana boarded their private plane and flew directly from Moscow to Petersburg.

In this life, Wang Ye hadn’t visit Petersburg much, even though the Xiao Ying Group had a significant gambling entertainment center there.

Song Xiaogang and Yanzi had been managing the business there.

However, in his past life, Wang Ye had visited several times and held fond memories of the place.

Unlike Moscow, Petersburg resembled a "city of water". The city was crisscrossed with rivers of various sizes. As a historic city, it was home to iconic buildings like the Winter Palace and Summer Palace.

Compared to Moscow, Petersburg was richer in culture.

Of course, it was also closer to Europe or, to be precise, Petersburg was already part of Europe.

...

For this visit, Wang Ye kept a low profile.

He didn’t bring many people along, only Xie Liaosha and a few others, and no female assistants.

He had a certain relationship with Rossiyana, and he wasn’t sure if she had mentioned it to her family yet...

If he showed up with several glamorous female assistants on his first visit, what would that make Rossiyana’s family think of him?

No good!

As the plane soared towards Petersburg, Rossiyana seemed a bit nervous about going home.

She moved closer to Wang Ye and said in a low voice, "It’s been a while since I last went home. I usually only communicate via phone calls. I don’t know how everything is at home now..."

Wang Ye gently patted her arm and reassured her with a smile, "You’ve grown up. You naturally have your own life and work now. You can’t always stay with your parents. Your family must be happy to see your growth."

Of course, Rossiyana’s current "achievements" were likely insignificant within her family.

Perhaps her greatest honor was being Puding’s adopted daughter...

As long as Puding still held power in the Kremlin, Rossiyana’s status within her family would be unassailable.

No matter how accomplished her cousins were, they had to be polite and respectful when speaking to Rossiyana.

Her grandparents were always kind and friendly to her.

That’s reality.

...

This time they visited Petersburg, Wang Ye didn’t notify Song Xiaogang and the others. The Rossiyana family would handle all the reception arrangements.

The plane gradually landed at Petersburg International Airport. Rossiyana, who was looking out the window even before the plane had come to a complete stop, excitedly exclaimed, "I see my mom and dad!"

Wang Ye looked over and saw, not far from the apron, a convoy of black cars was parked, and several individuals were standing by the cars, walking towards them.

The man and woman leading them weren’t very clear from this distance, but they were undoubtedly Rossiyana’s parents.

Theoretically, had there been no relationship between Wang Ye and Rossiyana, the leader of today’s reception would have been Rossiyana’s grandfather.

That would comply with the principle of "matching status" and maintain formality.

After all, in official circles, Wang Ye was the Vice Speaker of Duma, Chairman of the Economic Committee.

In the business world, he also held multiple prestigious positions such as the Chairman of the Yukos Group, Chairman of United Airlines... and so on.

Thus, in both public and private aspects, it would be reasonable for the Rossiyana family’s clan chief to welcome him personally.

However, because of his relationship with Rossiyana, it wouldn’t be appropriate for her grandfather to welcome him personally. Instead, Rossiyana’s parents welcoming him seemed more intimate.

From this small detail, Wang Ye inferred that the family probably knew about his relationship with Rossiyana...

Thinking about it, all Wang Ye could do was sigh.

It seemed his self-control was lacking, unable to restrain his lower body...

So, during his meetings with Rossiyana’s parents and grandfather, he couldn’t adopt a high-handed approach.

...

The plane stabilized, and the cabin door opened. Wang Ye and Rossiyana descended down the gangway, Wang Ye following closely behind her.

Rossiyana’s parents were already standing at the bottom of the gangway, their faces beaming with smiles, eagerly waiting to welcome their guests.

With a joyous cry, Rossiyana ran past Wang Ye to embrace her mother. Their cheeks pressed together, and it was clear that their mother-daughter relationship was good.

Meanwhile, Rossiyana’s father, with a happy smile on his face, extended both hands towards Wang Ye.

"Chairman Mikhail, welcome to Petersburg!"

Wang Ye also extended his hands, firmly grasping his, and responded with an equally cheerful expression, "It’s my pleasure to be here! Rissiyana often mentions you – that you have a profound knowledge in economics. I hope to learn more from you during my visit."

Rossiyana’s father was a professor of economics at Petersburg University – he hadn’t done business or been involved in politics.

Therefore, Wang Ye’s remarks weren’t flattery, but truly sincere.
