After unlocking the car door, Xu Pingshan immediately opened the door and smiled when she saw Jiang Tingzhou, saying, "I was a little disappointed when Wanwan told me that you had to work overtime tonight and couldn't come. It would be great if you could come."
"I do have to work overtime tonight, but Wanwan and I bought some gifts together. The gifts were too heavy, so I'll take them inside for her before I leave."
Jiang Tingzhou got out of the car and carried all the gifts in his hands from the back seat.
Xu Wan wanted to take it, but the man refused.
Seeing this, Xu Pingshan said, "I'll take it."
Jiang Tingzhou then gave her some.
Xu Pingshan, carrying some things in her hands, smiled and said, "No wonder Mom speaks so highly of this grandson-in-law; he really knows how to take care of people."
Xu Wan felt a little embarrassed.
Jiang Tingzhou replied naturally, "Wanwan is very good, and she deserves my kindness."
Xu Pingshan's house is a large villa of more than 500 square meters. After the three of them came in, Jiang Tingzhou put his things on the table in the entrance hall and left.
It was already dinner time, and Xu Wan was the last to arrive.
After inviting her to sit down, Xu Pingshan went to call the rest of the family to come and eat.
Xu Pingshan's husband, Ma Jun, quickly came down from the second floor. Seeing that Xu Wan was alone, he came up to her and asked, "Xu Wan, did you come here after get off work? Are you tired? Are you hungry?"
"Uncle, I'm fine." Xu Wan saw Ma Jun and remembered his drunken outburst, so she quickly changed the subject, saying, "My husband can't come, so I prepared gifts for everyone."
As she spoke, she began to take out the gifts.
At this moment, Grandma also came downstairs.
Xu Wan first took out the gift Jiang Tingzhou had given to her grandmother: a cashmere scarf and several boxes of cordyceps.
Grandma beamed, "My grandson-in-law is so thoughtful! Winter is almost here, and he knows to give me a scarf!"
Xu Wan then took out the gift for Xu Pingshan, which was several large boxes of bird's nest.
Xu Pingshan also knew about these things and could tell at a glance that they were quite valuable.
Finally, Xu Wan took out the gift that Jiang Tingzhou had given to Ma Jun: three boxes of expensive Cuban cigars.
Ma Jun, a newly rich man, immediately recognized the value of the boxes of cigars. However, he disliked Jiang Tingzhou, so even though he was secretly delighted, he showed a disdainful expression and said, "Just leave them there."
Xu Pingshan quickly said, "I'll keep it for him."
Soon a short-haired girl skipped down the stairs, dressed in a T-shirt and short skirt, looking very fashionable.
Ma Junyi saw her frowning and said, "Didn't I tell you not to wear such revealing clothes? Why don't you listen?"
The girl completely ignored him.
Xu Pingshan pulled her daughter over and said, "Wanwan, let me introduce you. This is my daughter, Ma Xiaolin."
Xu Wan was really glad that Jiang Tingzhou had prepared a gift for Ma Xiaolin.
She picked up the last box and handed it to Ma Xiaolin, saying, "This is a gift we prepared for you. Actually, my husband bought it. He said it's very popular among students, but I don't really know much about it."
Ma Xiaolin glanced at it and snatched it from Xu Wan's hand, exclaiming in surprise, "Is this the hottest head-mounted display right now? Really?! These are so hard to get! Although the initial price was only a little over ten thousand yuan, they were sold out long ago because they were so rare on the market. You can't even buy one for 100,000 yuan now!"
Xu Wan didn't expect Ma Xiaolin to react this way when she saw the gift.
She laughed and said, "When he gave this to me, I was worried that it was too niche and you wouldn't like it."
"How could that be!" Ma Xiaolin hugged the box, clearly delighted. "I love it so much! This gift is absolutely amazing!"
When Ma Jun saw his daughter's reaction, he said with dissatisfaction, "Alright, it's just a tech product. Don't act like you've never seen anything like it before."
"What do you know? This thing just came out, and it's hard to buy even if you have money!" Ma Xiaolin looked around to make sure no strange men were there before saying to Xu Wan, "My brother-in-law isn't here? Then please thank him for me and tell him I really like this gift, I really, really like it!"
Ma Jun glanced at his daughter with displeasure and said to Xu Wan, "Alright, I know your family's situation and your husband's situation. The difference in our families' circumstances is obvious. Don't force yourself to give these kinds of gifts in the future."
