Chapter 825 - 282: The Son-in-Law’s First Visit, the Father-in-Law’s “Hongmen Banquet” (Part 2)

Even their own family wouldn’t be able to live such a luxurious life, would they?

Several brothers, though they have money, have only a few million, nothing compared to Li Yuan’s wealth.

Just like the eldest brother’s family settled in Modu, every time they come home, they act quite arrogantly, but even they just have three houses in Modu, run a small company, and might not have as much wealth as their daughter...

"Yuan, these are too valuable, don’t waste money like this next time, your uncle and aunt just teach at home, these aren’t necessary."

Yang Jinyu said, but she couldn’t hide the smile on her face, looking very pleased.

No woman can refuse gold, jewelry, luxury products, cosmetics...

Too many gifts never spoil the occasion!

Especially when Li Yuan knows how to cater to likes.

As she aged, her skin has deteriorated quite a bit, wrinkles have started to appear. At this time, offering expensive skincare products is truly hitting the mark with her.

And this jade bracelet,

She remembers a few years ago, on a trip home with her daughter, she saw her sister-in-law wearing a very beautiful one. She casually mentioned her admiration, not realizing her daughter remembered it and now has bought one for her...

Yang Jinyu’s gaze toward Li Yuan suddenly became a lot kinder and gentle.

This boyfriend of her daughter, putting aside the fact he’s a bit of a player, is top-notch in every way, without any flaws.

Tall and strong, handsome, good build, highly educated, talented, successful, and generous...

Except he’s too much of a player.

But then again, such an outstanding guy makes her heart skip a beat, let alone those other young girls.

Wouldn’t they rush to have him?

Once you get attached, with Li Yuan’s generosity and lavishness, it’s a lifetime of prosperity...

Li Yuan smiled, "Mrs. Yang, these are truly just a small gesture from me."

"Bai, try it on your uncle and aunt, see if they fit."

"Okay!" Bai Weixi nodded sweetly, taking out a pair of glass-like jade bracelets, crystal clear, without any impurities, each worth more than ten thousand...

...

After trying the various gifts, Yang Jinyu’s attitude became even more amiable, seemingly completely forgetting the issue of Li Yuan’s rumored multiple relationships.

Even Bai Tianqi, under Bai Weixi’s coquettish persuasion, softened his attitude as well, engaging with Li Yuan in discussions about his career.

After chatting for a while, Yang Jinyu pulled Bai Tianqi up and said with a smile:

"Bai, you stay home and chat with Li Yuan, your dad and I are going to the supermarket to buy some food. We’ll eat at home tonight."

Li Yuan hurriedly stood up, "Mrs. Yang, let us come with you."

Yang Jinyu gestured, "No need, there’s a supermarket just at the school gate, a few steps away. You’ve been traveling all day, take a rest first."

Seeing his mother-in-law insist, Li Yuan sat back down.

Going to the supermarket with his mother-in-law and father-in-law felt awkward to him.

.....

After Bai Tianqi and Yang Jinyu went downstairs, they chatted on the way.

"Old Bai, is this Li Yuan’s first visit?"

Bai Tianqi instinctively frowned, "What do you mean?"

Yang Jinyu unhappily glared at her husband:

"Old Bai, is your brain broken? It’s the daughter’s boyfriend’s first formal visit, of course, we need to prepare well, according to our customs, we should give a red envelope and invite some company..."

"You wouldn’t not know this, right?"

After Yang Jinyu’s reminder, Bai Tianqi finally realized.

Li Yuan is indeed visiting as the daughter’s boyfriend "for the first time," it certainly can’t just be a casual dinner.

If word got out, they would be laughed at.

If Li Yuan felt disrespected and brought it up later, they would be at fault.

Bai Tianqi was just about to speak, only to hear Yang Jinyu’s pointed criticism:

"Old Bai, stop showing your sour face in front of Li Yuan. I’m quite satisfied with this kid Li Yuan, he treats Bai well, and has been courteous to the two of us, just let things take their natural course... Don’t let it come to Bai breaking up with him, making a big scene, all blaming you..."

Bai Tianqi grumbled discontentedly but didn’t argue.

He can see clearly his darling daughter’s attitude.

If he strongly opposes, perhaps his daughter would follow her mother’s example, deciding to leave home without a care, severing relations with him.

Didn’t his wife do the same?

Ignoring family opposition, breaking relations with parents, she traveled far to be with him, getting married in an unfamiliar small county...

Like mother like daughter.

He knows Bai Weixi’s character well too, seeming gentle on the surface, but once she decides, she sticks firmly...

Yang Jinyu continued, "With Li Yuan visiting for the first time, think about which guests to call for company, Li Yuan’s quite the drinker, last time he drank you under the table, find some sturdy drinkers to join him."

Bai Tianqi smiled dryly, he thought he could handle liquor well enough, but at last National Day in Modu, he drank with Li Yuan and directly got knocked out.

"I’ll think about it. My elder brother works at the Education Bureau, he’s now Deputy Director there, I’ll ask if he’s free. Also my father, though retired, he used to drink quite well. Hmm, maybe invite a friend, He Zhi, he works in Banxu Town, he’s been visiting Li Yuan recently, and mentioned he’d like me to arrange a get-together for chatting with Li Yuan..."
