Chapter 443 Meeting the Li Family Parents
He froze in place, feeling cold all over.
At that time, because of Ji Wanqing's appearance and Shu Ya's blind date, he went to the bar to get drunk and encountered Ji Wanqing being harassed. He ran to save the beauty and learned about the current situation of her adoptive father. He was worried about her and gave her money.
Jiang Jinghe was completely immersed in his own emotions.
Trying my best to make amends.
But in the end, I'm afraid that meeting in the bar was also arranged by the other party long ago.
While he was troubled by his emotions, Shu Ya was experiencing the most tormenting and painful moment of her life.
When she needed him the most, he was not with her because of his indecision.
Didn't even know about it.
At this moment, countless emotions such as regret, remorse, and shame intertwined together, causing him to completely fall into self-doubt.
Just now, he actually had the nerve to accuse his second brother of stealing his love.
"sorry……"
Jiang Jinghe ran out feeling ashamed no longer.
Jiang Yao immediately looked at his back with some worry, "Second Uncle, did I say too much?"
Jiang Jingzhou shook his head, "Perhaps, only this can make him completely sober."
When it comes to matters of the heart, it’s hard to say who is right or wrong; it can only be said to be fate and destiny.
…
When Jiang Jinghe rushed out of the villa, he happened to see Shu Ya coming out. Their eyes met. His eyes were bloodshot, and many obscure emotions flashed in his eyes.
"What's wrong with you?" Since they knew each other for a while, Shu Ya stepped forward and asked with concern.
Jiang Jinghe felt his throat was blocked, and after opening his mouth for a long time, he finally uttered a difficult voice: "I'm sorry... I hurt you. When you were in the most pain and helpless, I couldn't be by your side!
I even wanted to stop your wedding with my second brother, but I overestimated my abilities. I'm sorry!"
Now that things have come to this, he can only apologize to her.
Shu Ya was slightly startled when she heard this. After a moment, she seemed to have guessed something and smiled calmly, "It doesn't matter, it's all in the past! When you and I first met, we were both just looking for pleasure. It wasn't true love at all. I understand now that the temporary novelty doesn't mean anything.
I have found someone I truly love, and I plan to stay with him forever. I hope you can find happiness too."
This time, she seemed to have really let it go.
Jiang Jinghe was silent for a while, finally nodded, and left silently.
This time he knew that there was no possibility between him and her.
…
On the other side, Jiang Yao came out of the villa after listening to his family discussing wedding-related matters. When he returned home, he saw Li Beiting waiting outside the door.
"Mr. Li, are you free today?" She crossed her arms and walked forward to tease with a smile.
"I have something to tell you." Li Beiting's expression was very serious.
Seeing how serious he was, Jiang Yao also put down his hand and asked worriedly, "What happened?"
Li Beiting shook his head, but there was a rare nervousness in his eyes. "I told you before that my grandpa and grandma went on a world tour together. They came back a while ago and wanted to ask you to go back for dinner and see you. If you have time tomorrow, I will go back with you."
Jiang Yao was stunned. He had never thought it was this matter.
Is this the meeting-the-parents phase?
She had met Mr. Li once before, and he didn't seem like a difficult person to get along with.
But at this point, she couldn't help but get nervous. "So soon? I, I need to prepare something, what do your grandparents like? I'll make arrangements now."
A hint of surprise flashed across Li Beiting's eyes. "Yaoyao, are you really willing to go back with me to meet the elders?"
Before, she was reluctant to meet his mother.
"Of course, are you just being polite to me?" Jiang Yao teased her in return.
"How is that possible! Of course I hope you can meet them, but I also respect your opinion and don't want you to feel awkward or reluctant at all."
Li Beiting's eyes were gentle. "After all, you are the little princess of the Jiang family, and the most important woman in my life!"
"So corny." Jiang Yao said with disdain, but his eyes and eyebrows were filled with smiles. "Okay, tell me what the elders like!"
"Yes, sir."
…
The next day, Jiang Yao followed Li Beiting back to South City and arrived at noon.
The Li family's villa is no less magnificent than that of the Jiang family.
Jiang Yao even vaguely felt that the two styles were very similar.
She expressed her doubts: "Could it be that both companies hired the same designer?"
"Yes!" Li Beiting chuckled and replied, "My grandfather and your grandfather were close friends. Our two families built their fortunes together, and their relationship is very deep! So, you don't have to worry about his attitude towards you. Even if he doesn't prepare anything, he will still warmly welcome you."
Having said that, Jiang Yao still couldn't help feeling nervous.
But in the end, he still stepped into the villa with Li Beiting.
As soon as I walked into the living room, I saw two old people in the room.
"Grandpa, grandma, we are back."
Mr. Li was wearing a loose linen shirt with his cuffs rolled up and his hair neatly combed. He looked energetic and strong.
The moment he saw Jiang Yao, his face lit up with smiles, "Oh, this is Yaoyao! What a graceful girl! It's a pity for her to be paired with our Beiting."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was nudged by the elbow of Old Lady Li, who was wearing a cheongsam and Buddhist beads.
"How can you talk like that! Yaoyao, don't bother with this old man. Come and sit down and try this osmanthus cake I made myself. I heard that you like this flavor very much." She then waved to Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao glanced at Li Beiting beside her, and walked over under his encouraging gaze, but her eyes fell on the jade hairpin on her head, and her eyes lit up.
"Grandma Li, is this hairpin on your head a gift from Beiting?"
"Yes, I've heard about it. This was made by your skillful hands. I love it so much that I wear it every time I meet important guests." Old Mrs. Li smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes looked very kind.
"If you like, I just brought you two newly customized sets this time." Jiang Yao said as he took out two boxes from his bag.
When I opened it, I saw a jade bamboo hairpin and a gold hairpin carved with lotus patterns lying quietly inside.
"This jadeite caught my eye at first sight. It suits your temperament, and this gold hairpin suits your status..." Jiang Yao introduced the relevant details one by one.
Old Lady Li listened and exclaimed in admiration, "This is so beautiful! I love it. Yaoyao has such good taste. It's a blessing for him that you like our Beiting!"
Jiang Yao smiled shyly, then walked up to Mr. Li and took out a chessboard while he pretended to be calm but actually looked expectant.
"I heard that the old man particularly loves playing chess. I personally customized this white jade chessboard for you. I hope you like it."
