Chapter 1144: Chapter 1204

"You’re such a good kid, it’s enough that you came, why bother preparing gifts? I also prepared a gift for you, hurry and see if you like it?" Mrs. Gu was more than satisfied with Jiang Meng; with a daughter-in-law like this, she’d have face wherever she went. This time her son finally wasn’t blind.

Father Gu and Mrs. Gu received their gifts and were over the moon.

Gu Shilin looked at the gifts in his parents’ hands, feeling insanely sour, and said, "I haven’t even gotten a gift yet, and you two already did. What’s that supposed to mean?"

Mrs. Gu looked at the comb in her hand and said, "Meng Meng really put thought into this. I just happened to be short of a handy comb lately! Girls are so detail-oriented, unlike those stinky men—what they give is never worth looking at."

Father Gu and Gu Shilin instantly matched the description to themselves. Their gifts were thoughtful too, how did they suddenly become eyesores?

Father Gu also really liked the thermos his future daughter-in-law gave him. He immediately had the waiter wash it, tossed in some goji berries and brewed himself a drink, sipping away in total bliss.

"I want a gift too, I want a gift as well." Gu Shilin was jealous to death, his sour heart bubbling away.

"I’ll buy you one later." Jiang Mengzhen couldn’t stand his shameless act; the elders were still here, so she quickly tried to pacify this guy.

Only then was Gu Shilin satisfied.

Of course, the gifts from Father Gu and Mrs. Gu were nothing like Jiang Meng’s in terms of price. Their grand gestures almost made her faint. Mrs. Gu just casually gifted her a set of priceless jewelry, and on top of that, Father Gu gave her... a house???

And the property deed had her name on it?

Wait... since when could you buy a house without the person being there in person?

And it wasn’t even some regular tiny apartment—it was a stacked villa?

"This gift is too valuable, I can’t accept it." Jiang Meng hadn’t even seriously thought about growing old together with Gu Shilin yet; how would she dare accept such an expensive gift from his parents?

"You gave us gifts and we accepted them, so why won’t you accept what we give you? That won’t do." Mrs. Gu looked at her kindly and said, "The moment I saw you, I felt we were destined to meet. If you weren’t dating this stinky brat, I’d have wanted to make you my goddaughter. This is from your dad and mom, you have to take it—don’t make us old folks sad."

Gu Shilin sighed. As expected of his mom—after just a few back-and-forths, they’d already upgraded themselves to Dad and Mom.

Jiang Meng was completely stunned. How did they suddenly become Dad and Mom?

Gu Qinghe told the waiter to serve the dishes and said they should eat first. Jiang Meng couldn’t say much more, but it felt like a heavy stone was pressing on her heart.

Jiang Meng didn’t let her emotions show and behaved very properly during the meal. Mrs. Gu truly adored her; her eyes were practically sparkling whenever she looked at her.

After dinner, they first saw the Gu Family couple into their car. Mrs. Gu held onto Jiang Meng’s hand, refusing to let go, insisting she come over to the house this weekend.

Faced with such warm insistence, Jiang Meng could only agree in the end.

After sending off the Gu Family couple, Jiang Meng turned around angrily and said to Gu Shilin, "What exactly are you playing at? How could your parents give me something that expensive? You hurry up and take it back."

"If you don’t accept it, they’ll be upset. Besides, why don’t you return it to them yourself? Why should I be the one? I’m a filial son, I’m not returning it." Gu Shilin immediately stepped back.

His parents being this supportive made him so happy he couldn’t even contain it; how could he possibly drag them back?

"You..." Jiang Meng was furious and at a loss for words.

While the two of them were talking, two girls spotted Gu Shilin and walked over, calling out, "Mr. Gu?"
