Chapter 783: Chapter 781: Meeting the Parents_1

As she pondered, the man’s straight and tall legs had already arrived in front of her.

She lifted her head and met his deep and affectionate eyes.

Her cheeks turned a slight red.

Lu Yichuan adored her shy appearance and reached out to gently arrange the wisps of hair by her temples, "Youyou, my parents will be back tomorrow. Come to my house then and meet them."

After tucking the strands of hair behind her ear, he finished speaking.

"So soon?" Cheng Youyou’s cheeks, already flushed, reddened even more at this point.

Although she had met them when she was a child and in her dreams, she still felt embarrassingly shy!

The Zhao Mother and Daughter nearly ground their teeth in envy as the fire of jealousy burned fiercely.

They were going to meet the parents so soon!

"What’s wrong with being quick?" Mr. Cheng was eager to have the matrimonial alliance settled and promptly scolded her gently upon hearing this.

Looking at Lu Yichuan, his eyes were filled with eagerness to please, "Not too fast at all, we shall follow Mr. Lu’s instructions."

"Hmm," Lu Yichuan responded indifferently and then gazed tenderly at the shy and nervous girl, "Don’t be shy; an ugly bride always meets her in-laws eventually, and besides, you’re so beautiful. My parents have liked you since you were young, and they will like you even more now."

After he finished speaking, Mr. Cheng quickly echoed, "Right, right! Your future in-laws are very nice people; you will get along with them just fine, so just relax."

If it weren’t for the fawning look in his eyes, Cheng Youyou might have actually thought her father was sincerely comforting her.

But that wasn’t the case.

He was only considering his own interests.

It was just too bad that she would absolutely not allow Lu Yichuan to provide any help to him or the Cheng Corporation.

Lu Yichuan had business to attend to at his company and left in a hurry after he was done speaking.

"Sis, if you’re feeling shy, how about I go with you tomorrow?"

She suddenly came up with a good idea.

She would accompany her tomorrow and try to win Xia Ningxing’s favor as much as possible.

Perhaps if Xia Ningxing liked her, she would be made the daughter-in-law!

She thought she would have to make some effort to get Cheng Youyou to agree, but to her surprise, she agreed very straightforwardly.

"Sure, having my sister by my side will definitely make me feel less embarrassed," Cheng Youyou agreed with alacrity.

Her sister really was something, with such a tarnished reputation she still fancied climbing up the social ladder.

Then just go ahead and try!

Some people just don’t give up until they’ve hit rock bottom!

"You... really agreed?" Cheng Feifei was slightly taken aback.

Is Cheng Youyou truly naive or just pretending? Isn’t she afraid that she’ll steal the limelight?

"Of course, it’s true!" Cheng Youyou smiled and nodded.

If she wanted to embarrass herself, then let her be.

Mrs. Xia and her sisters were not ones to be trifled with; it’s fine as long as she doesn’t cry when the time comes.

Cheng Feifei didn’t care about that anymore and immediately pretended to be affectionate, hugging her arm, "Don’t worry, sis, I will definitely help you two to set the right tone when the time comes."

"Yes, with both of you sisters going together, I’ll be more at ease too," Madam Zhao promptly added.

Her daughter had been proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting since she was young, far superior to the good-for-nothing Cheng Youyou.

I heard that Xia Ningxing is quite a person of elegance herself, skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. I imagine she will have endless conversations with our daughter when the time comes.

Thinking of her daughter being favored by Xia Ningxing, Madam Zhao’s face quivered with a smile.

Initially, Mr. Cheng didn’t agree with Cheng Feifei accompanying them, but seeing that everyone else agreed, he no longer objected:

"Since that’s the case, you all may go together. By the way, while there’s still time, you should go have a facial together, to prepare for meeting the parents tomorrow in the best condition, especially you, Youyou."

"Mhm," Cheng Youyou nodded and replied.

It was her meeting with the parents; of course, she would present herself in the best possible condition!

Madam Zhao’s face was nearly blooming with joy, and she said, "I happen to have two beauty salon cards here. You sisters should take them and go use them!"

As she spoke, she handed the cards to the two sisters.

Ready for the formal meeting with the parents.

Cheng Youyou wore a sweet and chic Chanel-style outfit, looking graceful and appropriate. Despite only wearing a light layer of makeup, her features seemed even more delicate and charming.

As for Cheng Feifei, she was dressed in luxury. The strapless gown outlined her beautiful curves, and precious jewelry adorned her earlobes, neck, wrists, and ankles, making her shine brightly, as if she was going to participate in a beauty contest.

Cheng Youyou couldn’t help but slightly raise her eyebrows, thinking her sister might as well have worn the entire jewelry box.

But what of that? Lu Yichuan had already told her that his mother, Xia Ningxing, disliked extravagance and revealing clothing. Simple and comfortable attire would suffice.

Clearly, Cheng Feifei’s entire ensemble was a misstep.

However, Cheng Youyou wouldn’t remind her. She would let her be.

Mrs. Zhao, the stepmother, admired her daughter with satisfaction. Seeing her looking so beautiful made her proud beyond words.

Her gaze shifted, and then she frowned at Cheng Youyou, feigning kindness, "Youyou, why are you dressed so plainly today, when it’s the day you’re meeting the parents? Why don’t you take it more seriously?"

While saying this, Madam Zhao tried to slip off her jade bracelet to put it on Youyou’s wrist.

"Here, Auntie will put this bracelet on you."

Although her bracelet wasn’t ugly, it completely clashed with Youyou’s outfit; wearing it would surely look out of place.

Cheng Youyou frowned slightly, directly refusing, "No need."

Madam Zhao’s eyebrows furrowed, a look of ’I’m doing this for your own good’ on her face, "But you’re dressed too plainly."

"It’s not that I’m too plain, but you’re too extravagant. To the uninformed, they might think you are the ones going to meet the parents!" Cheng Youyou lifted her lips and retorted.

The expressions of Madam Zhao and Cheng Feifei changed in an instant.

Cheng Feifei covered her mouth with her hand, her voice choked as she explained, "Sis, that was not my intention, I just didn’t want to embarrass you. If you don’t like it, then I’ll take off all the jewelry."

With that, she went to do just that.

Cheng Youyou couldn’t allow her to go through with it and hastily spoke up to stop her, "Since you’re thinking of me, then don’t take them off."

"Of course, I’m thinking of you, sis!" Cheng Feifei, who never intended to actually remove the jewelry, naturally took the opportunity to back down, pretending to cuddle up to her sister affectionately.

Cheng Youyou smiled slightly, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes.

Just as she was about to subtly push her sister away, Lu Yichuan entered.

Today, Lu Yichuan wore a dark blue suit which made him appear even more upright and handsome.

That sharply defined face, with perfect lines, could quicken anyone’s heartbeat.

Seeing him, Cheng Youyou immediately showed a smile.

"Chuan."

Hearing the girl’s voice, Lu Yichuan’s smile grew even broader.
