Chapter 237: Chapter 237: Super Parents-in-law, Top-Tier Tycoons!

"Kid, who are you, and what’s your name? When did you and my daughter start dating?"

"Wow, tall and handsome, truly a majestic man. My daughter is lucky to be with someone like you."

"Kid, I like you. I’m entrusting my daughter to you from now on. If she dares to act up or bully you, just tell aunty here, and I’ll handle her!"

Wei Fang spoke quickly, growing fonder of Xu Qianli the more she looked at him.

It was clearly their first meeting, yet she acted as if she had decided he was her future son-in-law. Her warmth was undeniable.

Fan Rongze also looked at Xu Qianli and kept nodding, visibly very pleased, and seemed ready to have the two get their marriage certificate right away.

Fan Yao was dumbfounded and quickly wrestled out of Xu Qianli’s arms.

"Dad, Mom, it’s not what you think at all."

"His name is Xu Qianli. He’s not related to me in the way you think. We’re not lovers, and I have never thought about marrying him. Don’t look at him like he’s your son-in-law."

"Especially you, Mom. I really have nothing to do with him; you have to believe me."

Fan Yao tried to explain, hoping to get past the misunderstanding.

How did her parents just happen to come by and see her and Xu Qianli in an intimate moment?

They had almost gone crazy hoping she would get a boyfriend, and now that they’d seen them close, they were probably already deciding on what to name their future grandchildren.

She had to dispel their thoughts right away!

Wei Fang frowned and gave Fan Yao a sharp glare.

"You two were hugging together, so sweet just now, and you have the nerve to say he’s not your boyfriend?"

"If he’s not your boyfriend, what is he then?"

"You better not say he’s your driver, bodyguard, or anything like that, or that he’s only carrying you because you hurt your leg - some kind of flawed lie to fool me."

"My daughter, don’t I know you? You’ve never been so close to a man your entire life, and you certainly don’t have male drivers or bodyguards. I’m sure there’s something special between you and this young man!"

"Tell me, did you two stay together last night?"

"Don’t rush to deny it. Look at that blissful expression on your face. As someone who’s been there, don’t I know?"

Wei Fang spoke rapidly, leaving Fan Yao completely flustered.

Oh my God, could her own mother be any more intense? She had guessed it all.

Turning her head, Fan Yao gave Xu Qianli a fierce glare.

Hmph, all your fault!

Xu Qianli said with a smile, "Hello, Uncle and Auntie. Let me introduce myself, I’m Xu Qianli. The relationship between Manager Fan and me is not what you think; we’re not lovers, please don’t misunderstand."

Wei Fang said, "It doesn’t matter whether you’re lovers or not, I’m asking if you two stayed together last night?"

"Well..."

Xu Qianli nodded, as Wei Fang had seen through them, and it seemed there was no point in hiding it anymore.

Wei Fang clapped her hands happily.

"Good, very good, I knew my daughter wouldn’t end up without a man."

"Young man, you’re Xu Qianli, right? Good job, excellent work. Aunty admires you."

"Because winning over my daughter is really not easy."

"You have no idea how much Auntie has worried over the years, terrified that she’d go her whole life without a man, but now I can finally rest easy."

Wei Fang was so emotional she was almost in tears.

That’s her one and only precious daughter, whom she has coddled since childhood, always afraid that she would be bullied. But due to overprotection, her daughter developed an aversion to men and was reluctant to date, even being ambiguously involved with a bunch of beautiful women.

Because of this, she had tried so hard but could do nothing to change it, and ultimately had to give up and let things take their course.

She thought that this was how Fan Yao’s life would be.

In her wildest dreams, she never imagined that today, upon coming over, she would find her daughter with a man. And what a fine young man he was – handsome, energetic, and tall, looking so sweet with her precious girl. It simply filled her with joy beyond measure.

Fan Rongze could not have been happier, walking up to pat Xu Qianli on the shoulder.

"Young man, you’re quite impressive. I like you. Come here, come have a chat with me."

Fan Rongze called Xu Qianli over to the sofa, while Wei Fang grabbed Fan Yao, bombarding her with questions.

Xu Qianli chatted with Fan Rongze for a while and quickly figured out the couple’s identities.

To his surprise, he discovered that in addition to being the parents of Zhongzhou City’s wealthiest daughter, Fan Yao, they held another status.

Wei Fang was the President of Fila International Investment Bank in Asia, managing assets worth tens of trillions, wielding significant influence internationally, especially in Asia.

Fan Rongze was the chairman of a well-known domestic enterprise, Longxin Group.

Speaking of Longxin Group, it was nearly impossible not to know about it, as it was one of the country’s top ten companies, with operations spanning finance, banking, real estate, automotive, aerospace, pharmaceuticals, military industry, energy, and many other fields.

The company’s market value was confidential and not specifically known, but just one of its banks alone was valued at over six hundred billion. The overall value of the company was at least over five trillion.

Even though that market value wasn’t entirely Fan Rongze’s, even a small stake would be incredibly impressive.

What’s more, he was the chairman of Longxin Group, a leader with immense domestic influence—a true top-notch figure.

Such individuals, let alone strangers, even someone with the clout of Zi Guangyu would have to humble themselves before him.

Fan Yao was impressive enough on her own, and Xu Qianli hadn’t expected that compared to her parents, she was merely a small fry after all. Both parents were genuine powerhouses, each handling assets worth tens of trillions—it was a family of overwhelming wealth and power that was daunting.

Even though Xu Qianli had a good mindset and had seen his fair share of the world, he was still a little shocked and took a while to recover.

Fan Rongze waved his hand dismissively.

"Young man, we’re all family here; status and rank don’t matter too much, so don’t let it bother you too much."

"What I care about is the relationship between you and my daughter."

"Tell me, how did it all start? What are your plans for the future? Have you thought about marrying my daughter?"

What... marry Fan Yao?

Xu Qianli replied with a smile, "Uncle, Yaoyao and I, our relationship isn’t at that stage yet; we really haven’t thought about it."

"Not now, but you could in the future."

"As long as you marry my daughter, I guarantee you’ll be a dragon among people."

"I have only this daughter, and if you marry her, all of our family’s resources will be yours."

Fan Rongze offered up what he believed was a deal Xu Qianli would never refuse.

Think about it—Fan Rongze and his wife Wei Fang were both top-notch figures with resources in their hands that countless people coveted. Given the opportunity to attain them, who would refuse?

He did not believe that Xu Qianli would dare to say no!

No matter what, he wanted Xu Qianli to marry his precious daughter, Fan Yao.
