Chapter 309: Chapter 313: Boasting Through the Roof (14)

Zihan’s parents were also quite puzzled.

Wasn’t it said that the boy was just a poor and aimless kid?

The situation clearly didn’t match up.

Zihan’s mother quietly pulled her daughter aside and asked in a soft voice, "Is this your boyfriend, and his mother?"

Zihan nodded happily, "Yes."

At Su Li’s invitation, Wang Xiaochuan began taking out items one by one from the bag he was carrying.

"Uncle and Aunt, this is the gift my mother chose for you overnight. I’m not sure if you’ll like it."

Originally, Su Li intended to have him say it was his own choice, but Wang Xiaochuan, this sincere child, absolutely refused.

"It was clearly you who chose them. Why should I say it was me... Anyway, I will give them other gifts with my own ability in the future. Consider this a debt I owe you, and I will pay it back."

Wang Xiaochuan was still an awkward child.

Su Li didn’t expect that in such a short time, and in just one encounter, he would fully accept him.

He also said with a smile, "That will work."

It was a well-intentioned lie. What Su Li didn’t mention was that the gifts he had prepared were already worth tens of millions, and relying solely on his new son, he had no idea how many years it would take to repay it.

Wang Xiaochuan had only a rough look at the gifts his mother had prepared for the first meeting: one was a Jade Buddha for Zihan’s mother, and the other was an inkstone for Zihan’s father.

Even those who didn’t know the value of goods could tell these were fine items.

Wang Xiaochuan knew that his mother’s choices were always valuable, but he couldn’t fathom their true worth, which was far beyond his imagination.

So, when he took them out, his expression was still very ordinary.

But Zihan’s parents and Mrs. Xin’s expressions changed quickly.

One does not slap a smiling face, especially when the gesture is made with such sincerity.

Yue Bing looked at his daughter’s boyfriend with a complex expression, and then struggled with himself as he eyed the inkstone that was hard to come by.

He really liked it.

He had no other hobbies, preferring instead to indulge in a touch of elegance.

Mrs. Yue felt the same way; she was a Buddhist, and she fell in love with the Jade Buddha the moment she saw it.

But both of them understood the value of the two items. They merely coveted them for a moment, then declined, "These items are too precious; we can’t accept them."

Su Li: "It’s not much money." He casually pushed Wang Xiaochuan forward, "Hurry, pass the gifts to Zihan’s Daddy and Mommy."

"It’s also our Xiao Chuan’s lack of understanding of the proper etiquette. He has troubled you to come here for a meeting. We should have been the ones to visit first."

"I really like this girl, Zihan."

Zihan saw the expressions on her parents’ faces and joined Wang Xiaochuan in persuading them again and again.

The two young people naturally didn’t know the real value of the items, but those in the know also couldn’t just reveal it outright.

Unable to refuse and truly liking the gifts, Yue Bing eventually accepted them. Both made a silent decision to add an extra layer to the dowry when the time came.

Mrs. Xin sighed in her heart upon seeing the actions of the Yue Family couple.

Her own son had no hope now.

Indeed, given the degree to which the Yue couple doted on their daughter, as long as the prospective son-in-law was somewhat decent, they wouldn’t let their daughter be troubled.

Xin Yue had made a bad move. Far from being an obstacle to the couple, it had become an aid, pushing the two closer together, leading directly to a meeting between the parents of both families.

It was considered crossing the threshold.

Zihan’s mother smiled apologetically at Mrs. Xin, then took Wang Xiaochuan’s hand and examined him from head to toe, growing fonder with each look.

Don’t call her a snob; any other mother would do the same.

Her child, whom she raised like a precious pearl, how could she bear to let her suffer for the sake of another man, to endure hardships she’s never experienced?

That’s just tearing the hearts out of us parents.

But now, with this good-looking, polite young man from a decent family who also treats her daughter so well, who wouldn’t like him?

Just look at the stubborn old man in her family, although he still scrutinized Xiao Chuan, his demeanor noticeably softened.

Wang Xiaochuan finally felt a weight lifted off his heart.

Even though he was prepared for difficulties, if things could proceed as smoothly as they were now, he could not be happier.

Su Li grinned and beckoned to Zihan, "Your aunt forgot to give you a gift when she met you yesterday, so let me make it up to you now."

With that, she pulled out a delicate wooden box from her handbag, inside which lay an Emperor Green bracelet.

Zihan exclaimed at its beauty, "It’s so beautiful."

Su Li personally slipped the bracelet onto Zihan’s wrist, "Xiao Chuan thinks very highly of you."

Upon hearing this, Zihan shyly smiled at Wang Xiaochuan.

Wang Xiaochuan felt extremely conflicted inside, at this moment, he was immensely grateful to his mother.

Without her, one could predict how discordant and awkward today’s meeting would have been.

In the end, it would be his girlfriend who’d suffer the most.

Wang Xiaochuan was indeed very clever. Taking in the aromas wafting from outside, the elegant and quaint ambiance of this private room, and the presence of Xin Yue,

he could guess the intentions of Zihan’s parents.

They wanted him to realize the enormous gap that lay between them.

Without any words, the inadvertent details were enough to make him choke.

His mismatch, every moment, served as a reminder of his unworthiness.

Xin Yue, seething with rage, was about to speak up but was silenced by his mother as she quickly interjected, "That bracelet is truly beautiful, it must be worth the price of a house in Shanghai."

It was only then that Su Li directed her gaze toward Mrs. Xin, puzzled, she asked, "And these two are...?"

Mrs. Yue, remembering their prior intentions, awkwardly explained, "She is an aunt of Zihan, who heard Zihan had found a boyfriend and wanted to come see for herself."

Su Li nodded in understanding. As for Xin Yue, her eyes lingered on him for a second before swiftly moving on, then she continued speaking to Zihan’s parents, "You’re hosting lunch today, why not let me take care of dinner?"

"Although the two kids are still young, I really like Zihan a lot, and thought it might be nice for the two of them to be engaged a little earlier..."

As a parent, having your daughter be liked by someone is a joy, but the latter part of that statement made it hard for Yue Bing to feel happy.

He glared several times at Wang Xiaochuan.

But who is Su Li? With just a few words, she could charm anyone until they were dizzy with confusion.

Inadvertently, the Yue couple found themselves agreeing in a daze.

Wang Xiaochuan and Yue Zihan, the two parties directly involved, were also at a loss.

How did things develop to this stage so quickly?

The two families seemed to have set things in stone...

Wang Xiaochuan felt as if he were in a dream, his smile never once fading from his lips.
