When Ji Tong made the phone call, her parents were sitting next to her.
After hanging up the phone, Ji's mother couldn't help but ask, "Did he agree to come?"
"Yes, I already told you he's my boyfriend, we have a great relationship, why doesn't he come?"
Ji Tong looked smug, with the joy of having won a small victory in front of her parents.
Mrs. Ji couldn't help but frown: "You just said your father was here too, and he didn't say anything, just that he was coming?"
"I did say that. He said he'd be there in about an hour. I guess his home is quite far from here, and he doesn't drive, so he'll probably be a little late," Ji Tong said matter-of-factly.
"he……"
"Honey, it's okay. Since we've already agreed to let them come, let's not ask any more questions. We can just ask them when they arrive, right?"
Ji's father continued, taking over what his wife had said.
Mr. Ji was very busy with work. He knew about his daughter's relationship with Gong Yanli before, but when his wife told him that the two had probably broken up, he didn't worry too much.
Madam Ji couldn't help but get angry. "You haven't seen this Gong Yanli. He looks just like his father. Every time I see him, I can't help but think of Yueqing. If it weren't for that Gong guy, Yueqing would definitely still be alive and well!"
“His father’s affairs have nothing to do with him, and Gong Yanli also hates his father.” Ji Tong couldn’t help but speak up for her boyfriend. “Just like Wanwan, her father is a smoker, drinker, gambler and domestic abuser. You can’t hate her because of her father, right?”
"This is different..."
"What's different? Didn't you have a good chat when you met last time? Did you accept him?"
Ji Tong thought that his mother would accept him smoothly this time, since Ji's mother had met Gong Yanli before.
Unexpectedly, my mother went back on her word again.
"Didn't I tell you? I thought you broke up with him!"
"He's just busy. We're not teenagers anymore. When you're in a relationship, you can't be glued to each other every day. You have to give each other space to have a healthy relationship!"
Mr. Ji could tell that his wife wasn't too opposed, so he advised, "Alright, I'll help you pick out an outfit. You might be meeting your future son-in-law later, so we should dress more formally, right?"
Ji Tong quickly echoed her father's words, "Yes, yes, go quickly!"
She had already removed her makeup.
Considering that Miyanoko was coming later, she put on a light makeup.
Miyahiko arrived an hour later.
As soon as the doorbell rang, Ji Tong was the first to run out of the room. After rushing to the door, she tidied her hair before opening it.
She was startled when she opened the door.
Gong Yanli stood at the door wearing a very well-tailored suit, carrying many bags in his hands.
Ji Tong reached out to help him take it, but the man refused, saying, "I can do it."
"Okay, come in."
Ji Tong gave up the spot by the door.
Gong Yanli changed into slippers before entering the house.
Ji Tong's parents also came out of the house.
Ji Tong then affectionately took the man's arm and introduced him with a smile, "Dad, Mom, this is my boyfriend, Gong Yanli."
Gong Yanli bowed slightly and said politely to the elders in front of her, "Uncle and Aunt, I am Gong Yanli. You can call me Xiao Gong or Yanli. These are the gifts I prepared. I came in a hurry, so the gifts are a bit simple. I hope you don't mind. I will make up for it next time we meet."
This was the first time that Ji's father had met Gong Yanli. As a non-litigation lawyer, he had met many successful people and could tell at a glance that Gong Yanli was no ordinary person.
When the nanny came to get the things, Mrs. Ji said, "Alright, let's eat first."
Upon hearing this, Gong Yanli quickly said, "I'm sorry I'm late, I've kept you from having dinner."
Ji Tong chuckled to himself.
She had always thought Gong Yanli was a bit dull, but she didn't expect him to be so considerate in front of his parents.
The nanny brought the food up.
Mr. Ji got up, went to the liquor cabinet, selected a bottle of wine, and brought over two glasses. He asked, "Xiao Gong, did you drive? Can you drink?"
Gong Yanli hurriedly said, "I didn't drive today, so I can drink."
Ji Tong knew his father's alcohol tolerance well, so he quickly said, "Dad, he rarely drinks, please don't force him to drink."
Before Gong Yanli could speak, Ji's mother spoke first: "What's wrong? They've only been together for a short time, and you're already siding with outsiders?"
