Chapter 190: Didn’t tell you in advance!

Yan's father came back soon. Seeing that Xu Shaoyu was the only one who came to his house, he didn't say anything explicitly.

It's rare for the whole family to get together, and the atmosphere at the dinner table is particularly harmonious.

What surprised Yan Ruo the most was Xu Shaoyu's performance.

He was usually very cold when socializing outside. It was the first time Yan Ru discovered that he could be so talkative.

Seeing him stand up from time to time to pour wine for the elders, Yan Ru was moved and amused.

Except for the period when he just got involved in the group's business and was suppressed by Mr. Xu, when has President Xu done such a thing in recent years?

Yan Ruo poured him a bowl of soup and whispered, "Just drink for the sake of your own goodness. My dad knows that your previous injury hasn't fully healed yet, so he won't urge you to drink."

"Don't worry, I know my limits." Xu Shaoyu gave her a soothing look, and was then pulled away by his uncles to chat.

The uncle took a sip of the wine in the glass, glanced at the bottle, and his eyes lit up. "No wonder this wine is so expensive, the taste is different."

Hearing this, the uncle also took a sip and said, "This wine is really good. This brand must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Uncle chuckled, "Brother, you don't know this. Even though it's the same brand, the prices vary greatly."

"Just the few bottles Xiao Xu brought here, I'd guess they'd cost at least tens of thousands a bottle."

Although the wine that costs tens of thousands of yuan per bottle is the basic type that Xu Shaoyu usually buys when he goes out for social events, it seems too luxurious to Yan's father and others who have been frugal all their lives.

Not to mention, these bottles of wine actually cost more than tens of thousands.

Yan's father sighed, "The wine is indeed good, but Xiao Xu, I know your intentions, but buying such expensive wine is too much, a waste of money."

The uncle took over the conversation, "Yes, since you and Yan Ru are planning to get married, you should spend your money wisely. You should learn how to live and not be extravagant."

Xu Shaoyu nodded and explained.

"These bottles of wine were also given to me by friends in the business world. I don't usually like to drink it, but Ruoruo said you guys like it, so I brought them here specially."

The uncle laughed and said, "What we usually drink is basically homemade. There is no need to drink something so expensive."

Although they said so, it was obvious that they were very satisfied with their drinks.

Yan's mother couldn't help but complain to her aunt, "This wine really hits their heart."

My aunt advised, "That's because Xiao Xu is willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars a bottle of wine as a gift."

Yan's mother glanced at Yan Ruo, and there was still worry in her eyes.

"Dating is different from getting married. We clearly agreed to come to our house to discuss the engagement, but Xiao Xu's elders didn't show up. I'm worried that my daughter Yan will suffer if she marries him."

My aunt and my aunt-in-law looked at each other, not knowing how to persuade her.

After the meal, everyone worked together to clean the table quickly, and Yan Ru volunteered to wash the dishes.

Yan's mother had no choice but to agree with her.

Looking at the various bowls and dishes piled up like a small mountain, Yan Ruo took a deep breath, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to start work.

Xu Shao walked into the kitchen and said, "I'll help you."

So many relatives took the time to get together today just for their sake. It was only natural for Xu Shaoyu to contribute, and Yan Ruo naturally wouldn't refuse.

The two of them divided the work and quickly cleaned the kitchen.

After washing her hands, Yan Ruo stretched out her hands in front of Xu Shaoyu, "The skin on my fingers is wrinkled."

Xu Shaoyu gently stroked it with his fingertips, "Where's the hand cream? I'll help you apply it."

There were quite a lot of dishes to wash. In fact, it wasn't just Yan Ruo, Xu Shaoyu's hands were also soaked and turned white.

"Ding ding ding, right here." Yan Ruo took out a box of hand cream from the drawer under the sink, and the two helped each other apply it.

"Yan Ruo." After hearing Yan's mother's voice, he slowly returned to the living room.

After eating and drinking, it’s time to get down to business.

As someone who is very successful in the business world, Xu Shaoyu is naturally at ease when facing such a situation.

After hearing his future plans, Yan's parents knew that the two of them were not talking about engagement and marriage on impulse, but had long-term plans, and there was a hint of satisfaction in their eyes.

Finally, Yan's father couldn't help but confirm, "I wonder what your elders think about you two."

"My mother supports all my decisions. And my grandparents like Ruoruo very much too."

Seeing Xu Shaoyu's serious expression, Yan Ruo wanted to laugh.

When did his mother ever support his decision? It was just because she couldn't do anything about him.

Suddenly, Xu Shaoyu's cell phone rang. He raised an eyebrow at Yan Ruo before looking at Yan's father and mother.

"Uncle and aunt, my grandparents said they're very sorry that they can't come to see you in person, so there are some things they want to say to you through video."

Yan Ruo really couldn't imagine that Xu Shaoyu could do this.

While Yan's parents were stunned, the video call was connected. What Yan Ru didn't expect was that the people who appeared in front of the camera were not only Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu, but also Lin Shuyun.

Seeing her sitting next to the two old people, smiling reluctantly but having to keep the corners of her mouth raised, what is there to understand?

Either Xu Shaoyu said something that forced her to cooperate; or she was hindered by the two elderly people.

What followed was a round of small talk over the phone.

Grandma Xu said she felt really sorry for not being able to come to the Yan family in person.

Yan's mother replied, you are so old, it's embarrassing to ask you to run so far.

Both sides were polite to each other. Although it seemed a bit unfamiliar, it must be said that the atmosphere was quite good.

Finally, Grandma Xu spoke earnestly.

"My Shaoyu lost his father when he was young, so he has developed a mature demeanor. He may look cold, but he is truly thorough and responsible when it comes to doing things."

"Two years ago, he suddenly told me and his grandfather that he had fallen in love with a girl and wanted to spend his life with her. We were quite surprised for a while."

"Later, when I saw Yan Ruo, I found that he was indeed a good and lovable child."

"Don't worry, my two relatives. Our Xu family will definitely treat Yan Ruo well."

Unexpectedly, when she was always thinking about enjoying the present and thought they had no future, Xu Shaoyu began to think about their future.

Yan Ruo turned her head to look at the man next to her. He always did more than he said, which was really annoying and touching.

Yan Ruo had no intention of listening to what was said afterwards. It was not until the video call ended and Yan's parents and other elders looked at her in surprise that she felt something was wrong.

She looked back at Yan's mother with a confused look on her face, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Yan's mother picked up the cup of water on the coffee table, brought it to her lips, took a sip, and spoke uncertainly.

"Xiao Xu's grandfather said that he bought a villa in South City and North City and registered them in your name, so that your father and I will have a place to stay when we go to North City or South City."

Yan Ruo turned around suddenly, "Why didn't you tell me about this in advance?"
