Chapter 310: Chapter 314: Bragging to the Skies (15)

By the time Yue Bing reacted, he had already promised his daughter away, and suddenly, he felt terrible.

Looking at his wife and daughter happily celebrating, he was so frustrated he couldn’t stand it.

Then he turned his gaze to Wang Xiaochuan, and it was as sharp as a knife.

If it weren’t for the fact that the other party’s mother was also present, he would have punched Wang Xiaochuan’s blooming smile right off his face, it was insufferable.

Mrs. Yue, who knew her husband very well, saw at a glance that he regretted his decision. In fact, it could be said he was green with regret, but she didn’t offer comfort and just kept laughing behind her hand.

She liked Xiao Chuan more and more the longer she looked at him, and his mother seemed to be a sensible and understanding mother-in-law.

And more importantly, he really liked their daughter.

Su Li must have put in all her effort, her tongue had never been so nimble before.

She had really put in the work for this soon-to-be son-in-law.

Zihan was praised to the high heavens.

The praise made Zihan’s parents quite embarrassed, and they humbly deflected, "No, no, no, she’s not that good..."

"Don’t praise her so much, lest she becomes proud."

Seeing her daughter so well-regarded filled Zihan’s mother with joy, and she couldn’t help but reciprocate.

She also caught Wang Xiaochuan and complimented him a few times.

The whole atmosphere was filled with the two mothers’ mutual flattery and praise.

Xin Yue, who was passively listening to all of this, was annoyed.

Since all the elders were present, he could only restrain his anger, his fists clenched so tightly under the table that he could hardly hold back.

He felt like a joke at the moment.

It was Mrs. Xin who noticed her son’s distress and quickly pulled Xin Yue away to take their leave.

She wasn’t pleased either, as Zihan was also the daughter-in-law she had set her sights on, but someone had beaten her to the punch.

Although the Yue family was quite well-off, they couldn’t compare to her family.

But Zihan’s father was from that branch of the Yue family in the Capital, something many in Shanghai were unaware of, and she had only found out through many connections.

Seeing that her son still wanted to make a fuss, she gave him a sharp smack, "Let’s go home and make a long-term plan."

Su Li’s eyes followed as Xin Yue and his mother departed.

------------

In the evening, they moved from the private dining room at Jinxiu Pavilion to Jinxiu Pavilion’s top floor.

The whole floor was open-plan, with just one main hall.

Seeing the surprised and astonished expressions on Zihan’s parents, Su Li casually explained: "It seems Zihan likes the dishes here quite a bit, so I thought we might as well have dinner here tonight, too."

The Yues were happy that Su Li valued their daughter, but that wasn’t what puzzled them.

The top floor of Jinxiu Pavilion was not open to the public except for a few special individuals.

Many people had heard that only on the top floor of Jinxiu Pavilion could one taste its most delicious food.

In actuality, many had only heard rumors and weren’t sure if it was true.

Su Li sat poised at the tea table in the hall, her delicate fingers moving gracefully, her movements as smooth as clouds flowing through the sky, she pushed three cups of top-quality Dahongpao tea across to the others.

"Let’s have some tea first, the dishes will be up in a bit."

Su Li also poured herself a cup and took a sip before speaking, "I have investments here."

It was an explanation for Zihan’s parents.

"In the future, I’ll transfer my shares here to Zihan. Whenever she wants to eat the food from here, she can just have the chefs come over to our place and cook for her."

Jinxiu Pavilion was the only one of its kind in Shanghai, and its market value was something Yue Bing could roughly calculate with just a little effort.

Shocked, he repeatedly waved his hand, "No need, no need."

Zihan’s parents were worried once again.

Initially, they were afraid that their daughter had really found a poor young man, considering to support him through poverty.

But now, her boyfriend was too wealthy, which was also a source of distress.

Given their family’s financial situation, they really couldn’t provide a dowry of equal value...

Yue Bing’s face wrinkled into a bitter mess, like wilted cabbage leaves.

Su Li seemingly not yet done shaking people up, clapped his hands.

Led by An Mingrui, a group of men and women dressed in suits and cheongsams followed him in line, entering from the door.

Each person was holding a small wooden box.

Yue Bing, with his sharp eyes, immediately noticed that these small wooden boxes were all made from yellow pear wood.

Su Li gave An Mingrui a look, and An Mingrui nodded, cleared his throat, crossed his arms over his chest, and began his introduction.

"The house includes: a 300-square-meter duplex with a river view in Shanghai, a courtyard with four bays in the Capital, a seaside villa in Hai City."

"As for jewelry, there is: one set of phoenix crowns, two pecks of various colored pearls, two sets of Emperor Green jade jewelry, three sets of diamond jewelry, a Hummer, a Rolls-Royce Phantom, a Lamborghini..."

Watching the man who evidently looked like a housekeeper continue without end, Yue Bing quickly asked him to stop.

He cautiously asked Su Li, "Mrs. Su, is this..." what you mean.

Su Li narrowed his eyes and replied casually, "This is the betrothal gift. I have already prepared it; it is also an expression of my family’s sincerity."

As if that wasn’t enough, Su Li continued, "This is just a part. There are also shares of some businesses and corporations..."

Yue Bing’s heart sank even more, now left without even a sliver of a chance to change his mind.

He looked at his daughter and felt a bitter sadness.

After raising such a wonderful daughter, he couldn’t keep her.

Wang Xiaochuan and Zihan were also rendered speechless by Su Li’s sudden, brilliant move.

From the initial shock to numbness now, it took just a few short minutes.

Su Li, seizing the moment, said, "Why don’t we set a date for Xiao Chuan’s engagement to Zihan today?"

Su Li was strategic step by step, while Zihan’s parents were retreating at every step.

They had come today to cause trouble and force their daughter to break up with her partner, but in the end, they confoundedly agreed to her marriage, even setting a specific date.

After coming to his senses, Yue Bing looked at Su Li with a more profound expression.

Such tactics, his future mother-in-law was no simple woman.

"I’ve been abroad for many years and have neglected Xiao Chuan a lot, not providing him with a complete family."

"Xiao Chuan really longs for the warmth of a family. After he marries Zihan, why not let them live with you for a while to experience what kind of family can raise someone as good as Zihan?"

At first, Zihan’s parents didn’t catch the meaning behind Su Li’s words, but as they chewed it over, they realized...

Damn, where could one find such a good thing?

It would be great to have them live at home. If they could live for a while, they could warmly welcome them to stay for a lifetime.

Even after their daughter got married, she wouldn’t have to separate from her family. In the future, there would be grandsons and granddaughters...

The more they thought about it, the more beautiful the idea seemed.

With such thoughts, Zihan’s father lost his last bit of reluctance and even wished they could immediately enter into the marriage hall.

Fortunately, reason prevailed, and he remembered that Xiao Chuan and Zihan were both still in their twenties, with two more years to go before graduation.
