Chapter 1132: Chapter 1137: Future Mother-in-Law

"Hey, babe, how was your day?"

"Darling, I looked at a house in Manhattan today. It’s slightly expensive, but the layout is really great. I’m not sure if you would like it, but I certainly did."

"I trust your taste; if you like it, I’m sure I’ll like it too. Let’s buy it tomorrow."

After sitting down on the couch with his arm around Petra’s waist, Yang Yi gazed at Petra for a long time before he hugged her tightly.

Holding her tightly, staying quiet, well, actually it was because Yang Yi didn’t know what to say.

Just as Yang Yi pretended to enjoy this rare moment of peace, Petra suddenly whispered, "My father wants to see you tomorrow."

Yang Yi’s body tensed for a moment, but he quickly turned his physical reaction into one of surprise.

Yang Yi let go of Petra, leaned back, and with his hands on Petra, he asked, "Really?"

"Really, he said... he wants to meet you and have a formal talk."

Yang Yi had already met and talked with Petra’s father, and he had thought their last conversation was quite formal, but it seemed they had to talk once again.

"Alright, let’s meet tomorrow. Will it be at his office again?"

"No, it will be at his home."

Petra paused for a moment after speaking, then said softly, "My dad wants to meet you, and then, he said there’s an important announcement to make."

Yang Yi looked slightly puzzled, then he said, excitedly, "Could it be that he wants to announce the cancellation of your engagement publicly?"

Petra lightly punched Yang Yi and said, "How could that be possible? Who does that, letting their daughter attend with another man and then announcing the cancellation of the engagement at the same time?"

Yang Yi shrugged and said, "Alright, it seems I got happy too soon."

"You’ll meet with my father first, and then we’ll attend a dinner together in the evening. I’ll be with you."

After speaking, Petra took a deep breath and then, with a smile, she said, "Actually, I’ve already broken up with Carlson, and my father has officially called off the engagement with the Medron Consortium. Tomorrow night’s dinner is being held for you, to formally introduce you, which is essentially a public announcement that my engagement with Carlson has been called off."

Yang Yi smiled and said, "A more tactful approach."

"Yes, is that okay? Can you accept it?"

Yang Yi sighed and then hugged Petra again, saying, "Thank you. I know this must have put a lot of pressure on you and your father. Thank you."

Petra hugged Yang Yi tightly and said in a low voice, "Don’t thank me, I’m the one who feels sorry for you."

The atmosphere was beautiful, and Yang Yi’s wish had finally been fulfilled. If nothing unexpected happens, the meeting with Oscar Bell tomorrow will determine the status with which he will appear tomorrow night.

If Oscar Bell is satisfied, then Yang Yi will be able to attend the dinner prepared for him as Petra’s boyfriend and make a formal appearance in the high-end circles of Wall Street. If he fails to please Oscar Bell, then he won’t get any formal introduction, but that alone will already represent Oscar Bell’s attitude.

The next day was destined to be anything but relaxing, not because the problems Yang Yi faced were particularly difficult to solve, but because of the tense anticipation a woman feels when bringing her boyfriend home to appear before all friends and family.

Trying on clothes, buying clothes, selecting the right attire for Yang Yi exhausted both Petra and him considerably, although in the end Yang Yi still wore his old clothes - because they were custom-made suits, and it wasn’t possible to tailor a new suit for him within one day.

Nevertheless, half the day had passed in this way.

Yang Yi was very concerned about how Anton and his colleagues were faring, so he found time to make a call to Anton.

Things were progressing smoothly, exceedingly smoothly.

Chris had somehow managed to persuade three individuals to act as his insiders, willing to strike a deadly blow to Bell Securities at the critical moment.

Honestly, Yang Yi wasn’t extremely surprised by this outcome, but he was still somewhat astonished, given that it happened in just one evening plus one morning; he had no idea how Chris achieved it.

But how Chris managed it didn’t matter; the important thing was that he had done it.

And when Yang Yi and Petra were driving to her parents’ residence, Yang Yi checked his phone and could already see the negative news about Bell Securities on the financial section of the internet.

Very good, everything was proceeding very well.

When Yang Yi arrived at Petra’s home, Oscar Bell and his wife greeted them at the doorway, both dressed very formally. But Yang Yi immediately understood that the one to speak with him wouldn’t be Oscar Bell, but rather Petra’s mother.

Petra’s mother was no longer young, but she exuded an elegant and gracious temperament. Even though she wasn’t adorned with dazzling jewelry, anyone could tell at a glance that this woman was no ordinary individual.

For Yang Yi, a single look into Petra’s mother’s eyes was enough to understand her intentions.

A scrutinizing and critical gaze, but not one that kept people at bay; in other words, if Yang Yi could pass the test, then his relationship with Petra would be set, and not only that, it would be established in front of a vast audience and under the scrutinizing eyes of many celebrities.

Yang Yi thought to let go of Petra’s hand, but she linked her arm with his and led him to her parents, then said with an air of confidence: "Yang Yi, this is my dad, you’ve met him before; and this is my mom, whom you’ve also met before, but I think it is necessary to introduce you again. Mom, this is Yang Yi, you’ve met him before, just maybe you didn’t pay much attention."

Yang Yi bowed slightly towards the two of them, smiling, "Mr. Roy, it’s a pleasure to see you again. Mrs. Roy, you look very beautiful today."

Yang Yi picked up Petra’s mother’s hand, gave a light kiss following a slight bow, and then stood in his place.

The hand-kissing gesture is still relatively common in the United Kingdom and less so in the United States, but with Yang Yi’s British accent and his impeccable etiquette, it was clear that he had gained his future mother-in-law’s favor at first impression.

Petra’s mother retracted her hand, then with a smile said to Yang Yi, "I heard you were born and raised in the United Kingdom? Your work is also centered there, is that correct?"

"Yes, madam, just to clarify a minor point, my work focus is in Europe, which of course includes the United Kingdom."

After Yang Yi finished speaking, Oscar Bell waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Let’s go in to talk, please."

Upon reaching the living room, once the servants served the English afternoon tea, Petra’s mother picked up her teacup and gestured for Yang Yi to drink, then with an indifferent face she said, "Please make yourself comfortable, act as if you’re at home. Um, I heard you’re looking for a suitable house in New York?"

Maintaining a respectful smile, Yang Yi said, "Petra has already picked a good one for me, and I will make the payment tomorrow. I haven’t seen it, but I know I will like it there."
