Chapter 600: Chapter 600 Mom, This is Your Daughter-in-law!

"Ah, isn’t this the Xu Family’s kid? Haven’t seen you for many years, where have you been working these years, and how come you don’t visit more often?"

Xu Qianli had just parked his car and hadn’t even gotten out when an elder out for a stroll came over to greet him.

Xu Qianli responded with a smile, "Hello, Elder Wang. I haven’t seen you for many years. You seem to be getting more robust by the day."

"Old now, can’t compare to the past. But you, back in the day a little rascal, and now you’ve grown up so much. Got a girlfriend yet? If not, should I set you up with someone?"

Elder Wang had watched Xu Qianli grow up and was extremely enthusiastic.

Hearing his words, Liu Qian hurriedly opened the car door and pulled Ding Meixin out, "Elder Wang, no need, this rascal already has a girlfriend. We’ll have to gratefully decline your kind offer."

Elder Wang’s gaze shifted over, sizing her up, and was visibly impressed.

"Wow, what a good-looking girl! Xu, you’re a lucky man."

"When are you getting married, and when are you having kids?"

"You over there, stop playing chess and dancing, come over here and have a look, Xu Zhi’s kid is back, and he’s brought an incredibly beautiful girlfriend with him."

Elder Wang shouted, and all the elders who were enjoying their leisurely activities in the shade quickly set aside what they were doing and swarmed over.

Everyone was talking at once, heaping praise on Liu Qian and Ding Meixin, making both of their faces turn bright red.

When Ge Pingping got out of the car, the group of elders was once again dazzled.

Scratching his head, Elder Wang said, "Eh, what’s going on here, Xu, why did you bring back three beautiful girls this time? Don’t tell me you’ve found three girlfriends out there?"

Xu Qianli said with a smile, "Elder Wang, you might as well think it’s true, my few girlfriends aren’t bad, huh?"

Laughing heartily, Elder Wang said, "You kid, calling you fat and yet you’re still out of breath, just chasing after one of these beautiful girls would be good luck, let alone three. Look at how pleased you are. Alright, it’s rare for you to come back, hurry on home. It’s a day off, your mom and dad are both at home, go make them happy."

"Alright, I’m heading back now."

Xu Qianli picked up the gifts he had prepared in advance and went into the apartment building with Ding Meixin, Liu Qian, and Ge Pingping to head home.

At the Xu Family’s place, Xu Qianli’s parents, Xu Zhi and Chen Wen, were entertaining guests, their old neighbors, the Zhao family.

The Zhao family used to live next door to the Xu Family, but five or six years ago their son bought an apartment in a high-end residential area and moved out, so the families hadn’t seen each other much since.

Today, for some reason, the elderly couple came over with their son and daughter-in-law out of the blue, and Xu Zhi and Chen Wen warmly welcomed them.

Sitting on the sofa, Old Zhao was going on and on at Xu Zhi.

Boasting about how carefree his recent life had been, how great the house he lived in was, and incessantly praising his son’s career success, he even extolled his new daughter-in-law to the skies.

And a gold watch worth fifty to sixty thousand on his wrist was being flaunted non-stop.

After talking at length, Old Zhao changed the subject, "Look at me, going on about my son Zhao Qiang and I almost forgot about your son, Xu Qianli. He’s a great talent after all. These years, he must have made a name for himself out there, made a lot of money, bought a big house, and found an exceptionally beautiful girlfriend, right?"

Xu Zhi said, "Not at all, our silly boy is just a small employee outside, just getting by; he couldn’t afford any big house. His girlfriend is just ordinary, certainly can’t compare to your new daughter-in-law."

Xu Zhi just gave a polite remark when old Zhao suddenly became energetic and spoke with glee.

"I always say, what’s the use of reading so much? In the end, you just end up working for someone else."

"Men should go out and make their way in the world, doing business and becoming bosses."

"Take our son Zhao Qiang, for instance. After years of struggle, I wouldn’t dare to say he’s extremely wealthy, but he’s worth thirty to forty million."

"How about this? Let Xu Qianli stop slaving away for others and come back. I’ll have Zhao Qiang arrange a job for him at the company."

When old Zhao said this, Zhao Qiang added, "Uncle Xu, Xu Qianli and I grew up together. I wouldn’t hesitate to lend a hand where I can. You let him come back, and I’ll have him work in the sales department of my company, with a starting salary of six thousand. Not bad, right? If he performs well and stands out, I’ll give him an extra reward. Earning an annual total of a hundred thousand or so is nothing to sneeze at, better than slaving away for someone else outside, wouldn’t you say?"

Just then, the door suddenly opened, and Xu Qianli walked in with Ding Meixin and a few others, "Dad, Mom, I’m back. Oh, Uncle Zhao, Auntie Zhao, you’re here too."

Upon entering, Xu Qianli saw not only his other parents but also spotted the old neighbors, the Zhao family.

Chen Wen hurried forward, "Hong Yu, why are you back?"

Chen Wen was so delighted to see her son return that she almost couldn’t close her mouth with joy.

Xu Qianli said, "Mom, I just missed you and dad, and I happened to have some time recently, so I rushed over to see you. Hey, don’t just stand outside, come on in."

As soon as Xu Qianli finished speaking, several people entered behind him, Ding Meixin, Liu Qian, and Ge Pingping all walked in.

Chen Wen looked at the three beautiful women, each more stunning than the last, "Hong Yu, who are these ladies?"

Hearing his pet name, Xu Qianli couldn’t feel warmer and said with a smile, "Mom, let me introduce them to you. This is my girlfriend, Ding Meixin; this is Liu Qian, and this one is Ge Pingping, they are all my friends. This is my mom, aren’t you going to say hello?"

"Hello, Auntie," Ding Meixin said sweetly.

Liu Qian and Ge Pingping hurried over, each taking one of Chen Wen’s arms.

"Auntie, I’ve heard so much about you from Xu Qianli. You’re gentle and virtuous, a rare kind of great woman. And to think you’re also so young and beautiful."

"I know, right? Auntie, you look so young! Your skin is so firm and elastic. If Xu Qianli hadn’t told me himself, I would never believe you were his mom..."

Liu Qian and Ge Pingping couldn’t be any sweeter if they tried, easily making Chen Wen utterly happy.

Old Zhao’s eyes bulged, comparing the three beautiful women by Xu Qianli’s side to his son Zhao Qiang’s girlfriend, who couldn’t hold a candle to them. Beside Xu Qianli, each woman looked like a fairy, and his prospective daughter-in-law was no match.

He had just boasted about his daughter-in-law to the skies and talked about setting up Xu Qianli with a girlfriend. Now, thinking about it, he felt quite embarrassed.

Zhao Qiang, envious of the three women by Xu Qianli’s side, managed to suppress his displeasure and forced a smile, saying, "Xu Qianli, bringing your girlfriend back is a great thing. What kind of gifts have you brought for Uncle and Auntie this time?"

"Nothing much," replied Xu Qianli, "just some small gifts."

"Small gifts? You’re being modest. Let me have a look at what you’ve brought."

Zhao Qiang hurried over and took the gift bag from Xu Qianli’s hand, reaching in and pulling out a random item. When he saw what it was, he was stunned.

Damn, a Rolex gold watch, and a limited edition at that, with a receipt showing more than a million!
