Chapter 413 Meeting the Parents
This was the most offensive "Brother Cheng" Xiao Cheng had ever heard, and his face turned so ugly he looked like he wanted to kill someone.
Bai Lu hurriedly pushed Shang Chuyao into the hotel lobby, extinguishing the little flame of courage she still had to go against the big boss.
At the same time, he gently patted the back of her hand and explained the reason he had given her before: "The new house is not yet built, and there are no extra rooms in the current house."
"When our new house is built, you can come over for the housewarming party and stay for a few more days."
Shang Chuyao sighed again, "How much longer? I want to eat at your new housewarming party right now."
Chinese-style villas are large-scale projects with unique architectural styles and courtyard layouts. They have numerous buildings in the front and back yards, and the exact move-in date cannot be guaranteed even during the White Dew season.
But the only thing that can be confirmed is: "We will definitely be able to move in before the Spring Festival."
This is what Xiao Cheng told her.
Shang Chuyao's eyes lit up: "Really?"
"real."
After Bai Lu gave her a good reassurance and even threw in a sweet ice cream, Shang Chuyao finally let go of Bai Lu's arm a second before Xiao Cheng was about to "give her away".
Reluctantly bidding farewell to Bailu.
I happily ate my ice cream as I entered the elevator.
Bai Lu watched the elevator go upstairs, then immediately ran out, grabbed the big boss's arm, and quickly got into the car to go home.
...
Knowing that his older brother and sister-in-law were coming back today, Xiao Wei started cleaning the house early in the morning.
The windows were wiped clean, and all the household appliances, such as the electric fan, television, refrigerator, and washing machine, were unplugged and wiped again and again. The cement floor was mopped three times and then dried with a cloth.
Especially Xiao Chengbailu's room.
The tables, chairs, and benches were polished to a shine, the cement floor was spotless, and there wasn't a single cobweb on the walls. The thermos, kettle, teacups, and water cups had all been washed, and the mosquito net had been taken down, washed, and dried before being hung back up.
Grandpa Hu didn't even need to help; Xiao Wei did everything himself, only asking Grandpa Hu to bring a magnifying glass to check where there was still dust.
Which little corner hasn't been cleaned?
At night, a leaf fell into the yard as the wind blew it down. Just as Grandpa Hu was about to bend down to pick it up, Xiao Wei ran out of the house with a broom and dustpan.
"Grandpa Hu, I'm here. You go inside and watch TV, it's windy outside..."
"Knock knock knock—"
The unlocked courtyard gate was knocked on.
Xiao Wei paused in his sweeping of leaves, his words caught in his throat with nervous anticipation.
Is it my elder brother and sister-in-law who have returned?
"Squeak!"
The door was pushed open from the outside in.
The little guy standing dumbfounded in the yard, wearing the new clothes that Bai Lu had bought for him before he went to Guangdong Province, holding a broom in his hand, suddenly had his dark eyes shining brightly.
The broom was loosened.
She took off running towards him.
Seeing the immense joy, excitement, and thrill in the little guy's eyes, Xiao Cheng, for the first time, didn't dodge and let him run over and hug his leg.
Then a gust of wind swept past my legs.
There was nothing there.
"Sister-in-law!"
Bai Lu was delighted when the little guy hugged her leg tightly, and she reached out to pat his head: "Good boy, Xiao Wei~"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a large hand lifted the little guy from beside his leg, and he was only halfway through patting his head.
Put it aside heavily.
"You are already seven years old."
Xiao Wei: "..." So what?
Does that mean a seven-year-old can't hug their sister-in-law's leg?
Xiao Cheng's cold and indifferent face, his aloof gaze, and his chilling aura were the answer.
Xiao Wei understood.
She stood obediently beside Bai Lu, no longer clinging to her leg, and gently tugged at her sleeve with a small hand.
Bai Lu continued patting her head, not quite finished.
"I'm back."
Grandpa Hu looked at the family of three, all together, and stroked his mustache as he spoke with a laugh.
The coldness between Xiao Cheng's brows dissipated, and he nodded: "Are you settling in alright?"
Grandpa Hu smiled broadly and said with great satisfaction, "It's very good, it would be even better if it were a bit more lively."
Xiao Cheng understood, and pulled Bai Lu, who was half a step behind him, over to stand side by side, and solemnly introduced them.
"My wife, Bailu."
Bai Lu finally met Master Hu, the Xuanmen master who had saved Xiao Cheng from many disasters in both her past and present lives, and who had also protected her from evil spirits at Xia Yue Lake.
Despite his full head of white hair, he did not appear old; his complexion was rosy, and he was energetic. His strong back was straighter than that of many young people. The few wrinkles around his eyebrows and eyes did not accumulate but only added to his mysterious and profound appearance.
His smile is kind and gentle.
Because Hu Gong had said the time wasn't right, Bai Lu called home last night to tell Xiao Wei that she and Xiao Cheng were coming home today.
When they arrived home, it was Bai Lu who asked Xiao Cheng to knock on the door, as if to inform him in advance.
At the same time, Xiao Cheng stepped half a step into the door.
Now, Xiao Cheng leads her to the public and introduces her to the only old man he has ever respected in both his past and present lives.
The old man also smiled broadly and did not shy away.
Bai Lu knew that the time to meet the parents had finally come. She bowed slightly to express her gratitude and respect.
"Bai Lu greets Lord Hu. How is Lord Hu?"
Hu Gong accepted the gift from his granddaughter-in-law with a broad smile, saying "good" three times. He then handed the Bodhi bead string that he had prepared to Bai Lu and offered her a helping hand.
“From now on, we’re family. We’ll share the good times and the bad. You and Acheng have a long future ahead of you. Sometimes what you see with your own eyes and hear with your own ears isn’t the truth. Only the eyes of your heart are the truth, and they will never be wrong.”
Bai Lu understood the old man's prophecy and enlightenment. She held the beaded string tightly as a gesture of respect, and with her other hand, she gripped Xiao Cheng's hand tightly.
"Thank you for your wise advice, Mr. Hu. Acheng and I will treat each other with sincerity and trust. We will definitely stand together through thick and thin, share joys and sorrows, and stay together with sincerity until we grow old."
