Chapter 1180 - 1177: Important Figures 4

It was Liu Daqing who coughed first, and Mrs. Zhang exclaimed, "Is this Xixi? My goodness, I’ve heard people in the circle mention her before, saying she’s a one-in-a-million daughter-in-law. It’s truly more impressive in person. This isn’t one in a million—I’m afraid you wouldn’t find such a beautiful girl among a hundred million people..."

The two daughters-in-law immediately chimed in, "Tsk tsk tsk, we’ve always heard people say ’as beautiful as a fairy,’ and today we finally see such a person in the flesh..."

"Indeed, it’s hard to believe there’s actually such a stunning person in the world... The third young master is truly blessed..."

"So beautiful and so smart..."

Liu Daqing laughed heartily, "You’re all too kind. If you keep praising her like this, my daughter-in-law might really get scared. Xixi, this is Auntie Zhang and your two sisters-in-law."

Though Wan Donglin hadn’t said much, he stood calmly beside her, looking at her steadily, listening quietly to the women’s conversation.

Perhaps his silent gaze steadied her, as Yan Xixi also smiled gracefully, "Auntie, you’re too kind, and so are the sisters-in-law. I’m flattered and don’t deserve such praise."

"Please, do come in."

The Zhang family’s living room wasn’t luxurious; on the contrary, it was rather simple. A large, dark tea table had fresh hot water and tea leaves on it. Mrs. Zhang was busy inviting everyone, "Have some tea, have some tea. Old Zhang is at a meeting and should be home in about half an hour."

Liu Daqing also was quite courteous, "There’s no rush, we’ll sip tea and wait for him."

Old Zhang’s two sons were away on business, and Old Zhang was in a meeting. Yan Xixi looked around, noticing that while Mrs. Zhang and the daughters-in-law were not great beauties, they all appeared virtuous and kind. Especially the two daughters-in-law, who were calm and down-to-earth, possessing an air of noble simplicity, each of them was well-rounded and received guests with exceptional courtesy and appropriateness.

Liu Daqing politely asked, "By the way, where’s Chuchu?"

Mrs. Zhang sighed, "That child has no sense of decorum and went out to play tennis early this morning."

Wan Donglin laughed, "Exercising is a good thing."

Yan Xixi felt a jolt in her heart, thinking perhaps the young lady was sulking somewhere.

"Xixi, we’ve always been like brothers and sisters with the third young master, and now that we’re family, there’s no need to stand on ceremony or be too polite..."

"I heard you graduated from Harvard University, that’s truly remarkable."

Yan Xixi smiled humbly, "It’s just book learning, nothing more."

"You shouldn’t say that. Harvard is not like other schools; how many people can attend? The Wan family is truly full of talents, and oh right, isn’t the third young master also a Harvard graduate? Indeed, this is truly a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman..."

Amidst the laughter and chatter, a crisp voice rang out from the door.

"Mom... Mom..."

Yan Xixi was suddenly startled and couldn’t help but look toward the door.

The legendary Zhang Chuchu had finally made her appearance.

She was painstakingly dressed, with her makeup beautifully done, wearing the latest brand-new outfit, and her dark hair styled into delicate large curls, resembling a beautiful doll, with a touch of fresh spring-like vitality.

Beside her stood an equally charming young man, the pair was indeed a well-matched couple.

She declared as if to make a point, "Mom, we’re back."

We?

Everyone’s gaze fell on the young man next to her—Xiaoke turned red, feeling uneasy, "Everyone, I apologize for coming uninvited..."

Mrs. Zhang said warmly, "A guest is always welcome, come in and sit."
