Chapter 59: Chapter 59 Meeting the Mother-in-Law for the First Time

Xiao Qing was so excited that she became incoherent, "Dad, I’ll go to Jiangcheng City with Luo Jun right now. I promise I won’t let you down!"

She was a woman full of ambition, often hating that she wasn’t a man, unable to inherit the Xiao Family legacy. But the words of Elder Xiao had just given her hope.

After leaving Elder Xiao’s side, she immediately sought out Luo Jun.

With a beaming smile, Xiao Qing asked, "Honey, I remember that my dad really likes antiques, doesn’t he?"

Luo Jun was startled. Elder Xiao seemed to have no interest in antiques, did he?

Seeing his reaction, Xiao Qing quickly realized what he was thinking and said with a smile, "I meant your dad!"

Then Luo Jun understood and said with a smile, "My dad developed a passion for antiques when he was young, especially for ancient calligraphy and paintings. He loves them dearly."

Xiao Qing’s eyes immediately lit up, and she hurried to the collection room.

Soon, she emerged holding a scroll and said with a smile, "This is a famous painting by Bada Shanren, a master of the Qing Dynasty, that I bought for over thirty million at Sotheby’s. Dad will definitely like it, won’t he?"

Luo Jun was taken aback. Did Xiao Qing mean to give this painting, worth more than thirty million, to his father?

Without waiting for him to speak, Xiao Qing had already secured the painting and took Luo Jun’s arm, heading outside.

"Wife, where are we going?"

"To Jiangcheng City, to visit mom and dad!"

Being adjacent cities, it took only a short hour and a half before a top-of-the-line Rolls Royce slowly pulled up in front of Luo Changsheng’s villa.

"Dad! Mom! Luo Jun and I have come to see you!"

As soon as they got out of the car, Xiao Qing pulled Luo Jun towards the villa.

Two burly bodyguards, their arms full of large and small packages, followed behind them.

"Why have you come?"

Luo Changsheng, who was watering the plants, did not look pleased to see them; instead, he asked with a cold face.

He had already learned about Xiao Mengyi being taken back to the Xiao Family, and had it not been for Sun Xiuyun holding him back, he would have gone to the Xiao Family to demand her return.

According to Sun Xiuyun, the situation was a good opportunity to deepen the relationship between Qin Chuan and Xiao Mengyi. They just had to wait for the good news.

Sun Xiuyun also came out of the room. Seeing her son and daughter-in-law arrive, she too had a cold expression on her face.

"Dad! Mom! It’s been a long time since we last met. Today, we happened to be free, so we came to see you," Xiao Qing said, restraining the anger in her heart but still maintaining a smile on her face.

While speaking, she discreetly pinched Luo Jun’s arm, signaling him to speak up.

With a big smile on his face, Luo Jun took out the painting Xiao Qing had prepared and handed it to Luo Changsheng, saying, "Dad, this is a landscape painting that Xiao Qing acquired at a great expense from Sotheby’s. It’s an authentic work by Bada Shanren. Take a look."

As he spoke, Luo Jun presented a very delicate wooden box to Sun Xiuyun, saying, "Mom, this is a Mutton Fat Jade Buddha Pendant that Xiao Qing prepared for you. Take a look, do you like it?"

Upon hearing that it was a landscape painting by Bada Shanren, Luo Changsheng’s eyes immediately shone brightly.

After a light cough from Sun Xiuyun, he returned to his senses.

"Your dad has long lost interest in antiques, and I don’t believe in Buddha either. Take your things and go back home!" Sun Xiuyun said coldly. Suddenly, she shifted her tone and said sternly, "One does not visit a temple without a cause. Out with it, what do you want from us?"

Luo Jun’s face filled with embarrassment, while Xiao Qing kept giving him meaningful looks, yet Luo Jun just stood there foolishly, saying nothing.

"Dad, I heard that you have a very good relationship with Patriarch Song. Could you introduce us?"

Seeing Luo Jun’s obtuse manner, Xiao Qing couldn’t restrain her frustration and had to speak up herself.

Luo Changsheng furrowed his brows, looking at Xiao Qing as he said, "My relationship with Elder Song is a very pure friendship, without a mix of anything else."

Although he didn’t understand why Xiao Qing would want him to make introductions, he also knew that this daughter-in-law was a woman who wouldn’t wake up early without a profit in sight.

A cold glint passed through the depths of Xiao Qing’s eyes; how could she not understand Luo Changsheng’s meaning? He was refusing her.

"Alright, if there’s nothing else, you’d better hurry back to the provincial city. Our temple is small and cannot accommodate the two of you."

Sun Xiuyun said, waving her hand with extreme impatience at this point.

Ever since Luo Jun married into the Xiao Family, she had been thoroughly disappointed with her only son.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Even if it were a slum, as long as you are there, it’s our other home. How could it not fit us?"

Xiao Qing said with a smile, then made a gesture to the two bodyguards, who quickly set down the gifts and then turned to leave.

Sun Xiuyun knew she couldn’t drive the two away, so she decided to ignore them and joined Luo Changsheng in watering the plants in the villa’s garden.

Suddenly, Sun Xiuyun said, "Old man, hasn’t Xiao Chuan not visited for several days now? He is the grandson-in-law I approve of; how can you not show any concern?"

Luo Changsheng was startled for a moment, thinking that wasn’t Xiao Chuan just here yesterday?

But quickly, he understood Sun Xiuyun’s meaning and said with a smile, "I was just thinking about that kid too. I’ll call him now and invite him to come over for lunch at our home."

Finishing his words, he really dialed Qin Chuan’s number.

"Xiao Chuan! Granny Sun is making your favorite braised pork ribs for lunch; you must come over!"

Luo Changsheng said with a smile, then glanced at Luo Jun and Xiao Qing, and added, "Oh, and Xiao Yi’s parents are here too, so it’s a good opportunity for you to meet."

After hanging up, he said with a laugh, "Xiao Chuan says he will be right over."

Sun Xiuyun’s face bloomed with a smile, and she hurriedly urged, "You go buy a few pounds of fresh steak, and get some of the vegetables Xiao Chuan likes on the way."

"Right away! I’m on it!"

Luo Changsheng left cheerfully.

Xiao Qing’s expression had turned extremely ugly. Of course, she knew who Qin Chuan was and had planned, after getting the cooperation with the Song Family through Luo Changsheng’s help, to warn Qin Chuan herself.

But what she hadn’t expected was that she hadn’t yet had the chance to find Qin Chuan, and now he was coming over.

Luo Jun’s expression was also somewhat bad; he stole a glance at Xiao Qing, then turned to look at Sun Xiuyun, helplessly saying, "Mom, the engagement banquet with the Xiao Yi is the day after tomorrow. If we are photographed together now..."

Before he could finish, Sun Xiuyun cut him off with a cold voice, "Engaged to the Chen Family? Has Xiao Yi agreed? Have your father and I agreed?"

"I’m telling you today, Xiao Chuan is the only grandson-in-law your father and I approve of. He and Xiao Yi are a perfect match; no one can tear them apart!"

Xiao Qing was uncontrollably angry as she said, "Xiao Yi is my daughter. Who she marries is my decision; no one else has the right to interfere!"

Sun Xiuyun scoffed, "She’s your daughter?"

Upon these words, Xiao Qing’s face suddenly changed, and Luo Jun also grew uncomfortable.

Just at that moment, a young figure walked in.

"Granny Sun!"

The newcomer was none other than Qin Chuan. He first greeted proactively, then his gaze fell on Luo Jun and Xiao Qing.

However, the look on his face wasn’t the nervousness and apprehension one might have upon meeting their in-laws for the first time; it was a face filled with chilliness.

He stared coldly at Xiao Qing and asked, "Is it you who had the bodyguard hit my sister?"
