Chapter 664 Super Luxury Fleet
One Maybach would be photographed at most, but six of them together would make the local news.
Sure enough, when we arrived at the gate of the courtyard to greet the Xiao family's motorcade, a local message popped up on my phone: "Mysterious wealthy man is traveling, and a super-luxury motorcade appears on the streets of T City."
After a while, six Maybachs drove up in a line. The first car was champagne-colored on both sides and black in the middle. The next five cars were all black with champagne-colored edges on both sides.
The convoy parked neatly in the public parking lot east of my house. Some people started taking pictures, while others were discussing, "Could it be that we're going to Old Xia's house again? That's where the stretched Phantom went last time."
My father's face was flushed with smiles, and he couldn't stop smiling. He trotted towards the first car.
The first person to get off the car was Xiao Shiru. She was wearing a nude haute couture dress today, which made her look very low-key and capable. However, the brooch on her collar shone brightly in the sun, and it was obvious that it was of great value.
After Xiao Shiru got off the car, she saw us at a glance, immediately smiled, and walked towards us without looking at us at all, without seeing my dad at all.
My dad was about to say hello to her, but she didn't even look at him. My dad's expression froze, but immediately a brighter smile appeared on his face because Xiao Shiqiu's father got off the car.
Last time, I met Xiao Shiqiu's father briefly at Mr. Tang's birthday party. I didn't pay much attention to him then. His appearance at this moment not only attracted my attention, but also attracted the attention of many people. I once again sighed that the appearance of the Xiao family is really superior.
My father is 1.78 meters tall, which is not short among ordinary people. Xiao Zhengning is half a head taller than my father, with broad shoulders, long legs and an upright posture. You can't tell that he is in his sixties.
He was wearing a dark grey Chinese-style double-breasted jacket. I didn't know what kind of fabric it was made of. It didn't look like silk, but it had a delicate luster in the sun. He was wearing cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles. The watch on his wrist looked old. I was not knowledgeable enough to recognize what brand of watch it was. I guessed that it must be very expensive.
"What brand is your dad's watch? It's a pretty old style." I asked Xiao Shiqiu quietly.
"Who knows? It's said that grandpa was given it by grandpa's grandmother when he was young. My grandpa has always treated it as a treasure. My dad couldn't even touch it before, and he's still obsessed with it. It's not that he can't take care of the old man anymore because he's old, so he just snatched it away and puts it on himself."
I didn't know what to say after hearing that. After holding it in for a while, I praised, "This watch is of great quality!"
He raised an eyebrow. "My dad said that no matter what watch he wears, people will think it's expensive, so he can just wear whatever he likes."
That makes sense! If Xiao Shiqiu just casually wore an old man's vest, others would probably wonder if Balenciaga had released a new style.
Although Xiao Zhengning was dressed casually, he had a strong aura and his every move showed the style of a noble family. Xiao Shiqiu was about 40% similar to him.
I saw him nodding slightly to my dad with a gentle smile, but there was a clear sense of alienation in his eyes.
My father walked up quickly, his face full of smiles, his voice a little attentive: "Mr. Xiao, welcome, welcome! It really brings honor to our family that you come in person!" He bent slightly and stretched out his hand to shake Xiao Zhengning's hand, his movements seeming a little restrained.
Xiao Zhengning smiled faintly, stretched out his hand and shook hands with my dad, his voice low and gentle: "You are too polite, my dear in-law. Our Xiao family will naturally attach importance to the marriage between my son and your daughter." His tone was polite but not enthusiastic. Even so, the word "in-law" still made my dad very happy, and he didn't care about the alienation in Xiao Zhengning's eyes at all.
My father became even more enthusiastic, his eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled: "Yes, yes, your in-laws are right."
My dad agreed, clearly with an attitude of "You are rich, so everything you say is right."
As he spoke, he turned sideways and made a 'please' gesture, "My dear relatives, please come in. My wife and I have been waiting for you for a long time."
As we were talking, he had already reached the gate of my yard. Xiao Shiqiu and I took a few steps forward to greet him. "Hello, Uncle Xiao." I greeted him obediently. His eyes looked at me with much softer eyes, and his smile was more sincere.
"Your name is Mengmeng, right? Xiaoru and Xiaoqiu praised you a lot in front of me. There were too many people at the last party, so I didn't have a chance to have a good chat with you. Today you seem like a good child. From now on, we will be a family."
He turned his gaze to my mother. My mother maintained her usual cool demeanor and smiled and nodded faintly at Xiao Zhengning. Xiao Zhengning was no longer as distant as before and said to my mother, "Your mother-in-law is so young. It seems that your daughter's good looks are all inherited from her mother."
My dad was very proud of it and said with a smile, "My wife was the campus belle back then. I put a lot of effort into pursuing her." Everyone laughed out loud to show their respect, and the previously awkward atmosphere suddenly became much more harmonious.
My dad followed Xiao Zhengning, leading the way and saying with a smile, "My dear, your motorcade is truly magnificent! Someone was taking pictures just now, and it's all over the internet in a matter of seconds." He added, his tone ingratiating, "It's rare to see such a spectacle in T City."
Xiao Zhengning smiled faintly, his tone calm: "It's just a few cars, sorry for the embarrassment."
At this time, people in the cars behind also followed with gift boxes. They were all wearing black suits and were tall and burly. It was unclear whether they were bodyguards or assistants.
I counted them, not counting the personal assistant next to Xiao Zhengning, there were a total of ten people behind him. Each of them was holding a gift box and queuing up to walk towards my house. This scene attracted more and more neighbors. I was surrounded by onlookers and wanted to hide, but my father straightened his back even more, and my mother seemed to enjoy the envious looks as well.
Even Deng Sisi stood up straight, as if her value had risen as a result.
"Hello, Uncle Xiao," Deng Sisi suddenly walked over to Xiao Zhengning and greeted him. "I'm Xia Yimeng's sister. I'm 19 years old."
Deng Sisi's voice was crisp, with a hint of deliberate sweetness, as if she wanted to attract Xiao Zhengning's attention.
What is she trying to do? The way she's trying to please Xiao Zhengning makes me think she wants to be my mother-in-law.
Xiao Zhengning turned around and looked at her in surprise, "I haven't heard that Mengmeng has a younger sister."
"Yes..." Deng Sisi was about to say something when Xiao Shiqiu interrupted her in time, "It's my cousin. Aunt Mengmeng passed away not long ago, and my cousin usually stays at her house."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhengning glanced at her indifferently. Seeing that her makeup was more delicate than mine, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a distant but polite tone: "Oh, it's my cousin. The little girl is quite optimistic." After he said that, he said no more.
