At the entrance of Jingcheng Restaurant, Zeng Li's family had been waiting for a long time. They valued Shen Fang highly. Even if it wasn't that Shen Fang was Zeng Li's boyfriend, or that it was his first time visiting, and that they knew what had happened yesterday, given Shen Fang's status and wealth, it was no exaggeration to show them such respect. It wasn't about being snobbish, but rather a matter of respect.
Another reason is that Shen Fang's behavior at the dinner table yesterday showed great respect for his uncle, without putting on any airs of a wealthy man. It's all about mutual respect.
As the group of people from Chenfang got out of the Lincoln limousine, Auntie couldn't help but exclaim, "Look at this car, it's really impressive! Dalizi has found a good husband. Qinqin, you should find a husband like your brother-in-law in the future. Your little sister will have endless good fortune in the future."
Zhang Qinqin looked enviously at Zeng Li, who was nestled beside Shen Fang: "Mom, who wouldn't want that? The key is that I could meet her too. Besides, Sister Li is so beautiful. I'm just an ordinary person, I don't have that kind of luck."
The aunt glanced at her daughter and then compared her to Zeng Li. Well, her daughter was indeed a bit plain-looking. Sigh, her dream of marrying into a wealthy family was shattered. In this era, social status wasn't so important, and people weren't so materialistic. What mattered was a handsome man and a beautiful woman. A girl with good looks could very well marry into a wealthy family, of course, her family background had to be clean.
"Uncle, Aunt," Shen Fang greeted the two elders warmly as he approached them.
Uncle squeezed Chen Fang's hand: "Are you cold?"
Shen Fang smiled and said, "It's alright."
At this moment, Li Zaitian walked over: "President Shen, about the things in the trunk..."
Shen Fang smiled and said, "It will be fine to move it to a private room."
Amidst the uncle's confusion, he watched as Li Zaitian and Shen Kun, carrying Moutai and 1916-brand liquor, stood before him.
"this???....."
Shen Fang smiled and said, "This is my first visit. These are some gifts I bought. I brought them all because I might not have enough time. Uncle, you can arrange to distribute them later. I won't come again."
The eldest uncle looked at his mother: "Little sister?"
Mother Zeng smiled and said, "This is a token of Xiao Shen's goodwill. Please accept it, brothers. Xiao Shen is going back to Shenzhen tomorrow. He is busy with work and will not be able to visit you all in person, so he specially bought these things today."
Upon hearing this, the eldest uncle nodded inwardly. This was how one should conduct oneself in society. The way this was handled made them, as elders, feel extremely pleased. It was no wonder that he was so young yet so successful, handling things in a reasonable and respectable manner, and so considerate.
However, she still had to be polite: "You're too kind, buying so much stuff. You're a guest."
Shen Fang smiled and said, "What guest? Uncle, we are all family, aren't we? As a junior, it is already very wrong of me not to visit each of the elders. It is only right to bring some gifts. Please don't take offense."
The eldest uncle nodded and looked at his mother: "Little sister, your son-in-law is really something." The eldest uncle gave a thumbs up.
"Big Pear, you are so lucky! Okay, I'm looking forward to drinking your wedding wine. Please come in."
The group arrived at the private room, and soon after, Zeng Li's second uncle, younger uncle, eldest aunt, and younger aunt's family arrived.
"Oh, little sister, I haven't seen it yet. Your bracelet is really beautiful. Wow, it's so heavy! How much did it cost? Is it new?" Second Aunt said, shaking the gold bracelet in Zeng's mother's hand and touching it.
I didn't have it on me yesterday, but I'm wearing it today.
Mother Zeng smiled and said, "Xiao Shen bought it for me, saying it was a token of his appreciation. I told him not to buy it, but he insisted."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the aunts present—the eldest aunt, the second aunt, the youngest aunt, the eldest aunt, and the youngest aunt—stared at Chen Fang, thinking, "Why isn't he my son-in-law?!" They were all incredibly envious.
The younger uncle looked at Zeng's mother with a grin and said, "Miss, you're going to be very lucky from now on. Your son-in-law is so filial, it's truly enviable. I really admire such a good son-in-law."
Mother Zeng had a smile on her face, the kind that she couldn't hide at this moment.
Zeng Li looked at Shen Fang and leaned happily into his arms. Everything Shen Fang had done was for her. At this moment, her love for Shen Fang reached its peak. Valuing his family and extending that love to them was an expression of her love for him.
The meal was naturally very harmonious, and Shen Fang was not allowed to drink too much alcohol. It was clear from Shen Fang's attitude that since they were family, they could not force him to drink any more. Shen Fang ate very comfortably.
That evening, his uncle arranged another meal for him, so Shen Fang could be considered to have successfully completed his mission.
The next morning, after saying goodbye to Zeng's mother and sister-in-law, Zeng Li was originally planning to take Zeng Li home, but Zeng Li stayed behind. She hadn't been home for many years, and she didn't know how to face Shen Fang's parents, so she thought she would meet them later.
Shen Fang knew what Zeng Li was thinking, so he didn't press the matter further. In fact, it was he who had put Zeng Li in a difficult position.
Tianhe Airport.
Shen Fang held Zeng Li's hand and said, "Lili, I'm sorry to have wronged you."
Zeng Li shook her head: "It's not your fault, it's because I'm not ready yet. You did a very, very good job this time. My family likes you very much and is very satisfied. I just want to be a little more prepared before meeting your parents."
"Actually, you don't need to think so much. My parents are overjoyed, so there's no need to prepare anything."
Zeng Li smiled and touched Chen Fang's face: "Be good, you love my dog and my dog, so naturally I will too. Give me some time to prepare, okay?"
Shen Fang kissed Zeng Li's forehead and nodded.
"Third Uncle, it's time." Shen Kun walked over and said.
Shen Fang stood up and looked at Zeng Li: "Lili, I'm leaving."
Zeng Li looked at Shen Fang with reluctance: "When you arrive, remember to send me a text message."
Shen Fang smiled and said, "Okay, you should go home early too and spend more time with your mother."
