Mr. Liu slowly walked to the dining area, his gaze immediately drawn to the mountain of packages. Staring at the pile of parcels, a strong urge surged within him—he had to open them all! In his eyes, these were all gifts from those who dared to try and steal his precious daughter's heart.
Mr. Liu thought to himself, "Hmph, I'll see what's inside!" Without hesitation, he took action. He reached out to Mrs. Liu, who was staring in astonishment, took the sharp blade, and began to disassemble the packages one by one.
As each package was opened, all sorts of strange and wonderful items were revealed before them. First, a delicate bracelet caught their eye, followed by a large, plump salmon... This series of discoveries left Mr. Liu speechless with astonishment, and for a moment he was at a loss for what to do.
Meanwhile, Liu's mother stared wide-eyed at the two Hermes orange backpacks on the ground, which were similar in style but slightly different in size. She opened her mouth several times, but couldn't find the words to say.
After their retaliatory unpacking of packages, the Liu couple sat at the dining table, intently busy. The father held a calculator, his fingers rapidly tapping the keys; the mother stared intently at the computer screen, carefully checking the prices of the items she had found online. In front of them lay more than twenty opened boxes, and Liu Zitong could only silently organize the various items inside.
After careful calculation, the two were surprised to find that the total value of the items in the more than twenty boxes exceeded one million! This figure gave them a clearer understanding of their daughter's wealthy boyfriend's spending power.
Liu's mother gently took Liu Zitong's hand and asked with concern, "Zitong, have you met his relatives and friends?"
Liu Zitong nodded slightly and replied softly, "Mom, I've met his brother."
Upon hearing this, a hint of curiosity flashed in Liu's mother's eyes, and she pressed on, "Oh? What's his brother's impression of you?"
Hearing her mother's question, Liu Zitong couldn't help but recall her last meeting with Lu Jin. The words Lu Jin spoke when introducing Lu Yuan, and Lu Yuan's own words spoken to her face, all warmed Liu Zitong's heart. Later, Lu Jin often took her to visit the Foreign Languages University. These little moments flashed through her mind. Thinking about them, a sweet smile involuntarily appeared on Liu Zitong's face.
Liu Zitong recounted in detail to her parents what had happened during her last meeting with Lu Yuan, including their conversation. As she spoke, her parents seemed to nod in agreement, feeling a growing sense of goodwill towards this Lu family elder brother they had never met.
After exchanging a knowing glance, Mr. and Mrs. Liu silently memorized the television program called "National College Student Debate Competition." So, Lu Jin had a twin brother! At that moment, Mrs. Liu quickly helped her daughter organize the mountain of packages. After finishing, she gently patted her daughter's shoulder and softly said, "Sweetie, go to your room and get some rest." After their daughter turned and left, the couple sat down at the computer, opened a search engine, and began searching for the highly anticipated debate competition program.
When they finally found the relevant video and clicked play, the first thing they saw was two debate teams representing different universities. One team was from Tsinghua and Peking Universities, and they were meeting their daughter's boyfriend for the first time. The other team was from the University of Foreign Languages, led by Lu Yuan. The debaters from both sides exchanged words fiercely, creating an extremely intense atmosphere. The confrontation between Lu Jin and her twin brother Lu Yuan was particularly noteworthy, with the two going head-to-head and refusing to give an inch.
Looking at Lu Jin's sharp words and quick thinking on the screen, Mr. Liu couldn't help but exclaim, "My goodness, with such eloquence, even if ten of our daughters came, they probably couldn't out-argue one of him!"
Liu's mother nodded repeatedly, agreeing with her husband's opinion. She then added, "Besides, those two brothers were both the best debaters in this competition, which is enough to prove that they are indeed very capable!" Thinking of this, the couple had a clearer understanding of this young man who might become their son-in-law in the future.
Mrs. Liu stared intently at the spirited and radiant Lu Jin on the screen, a satisfied smile spreading across her face. She turned to Mr. Liu beside her and said, "Old Liu, our daughter has excellent taste! Look at this young man, he's so handsome, especially with those gold-rimmed glasses, he has a unique charm and exudes a refined air."
Mr. Liu raised his head slightly, glanced at Lu Jin on the screen in the direction his wife was pointing, then curled his lip dismissively and said, "Hmph, I don't think this kid is very honest. Think about it, what normal person would dress exactly like his brother? He must have something ulterior motive and is doing this on purpose." After saying that, he lowered his head again and continued with his work.
But Liu's mother didn't think so. She shook her head and retorted, "Oh, old man, you're overthinking it! I think this young man is quite handsome, and he seems very sunny and cheerful. Maybe our daughter has really found a good match this time!" As she spoke, Liu's mother smiled even more happily, as if she could already see her daughter's happy and fulfilling future. Her appearance was exactly that of a typical mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law—the more she looked, the more she liked him.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, a crisp knocking sound came from the door of Liu Zitong's room, who was chatting with Lu Jin. Liu's mother called out loudly, "Zitong, come out here for a moment, we need to have a family meeting!"
Hearing this, Liu Zitong was somewhat surprised, thinking: Since I went to university, there have basically been no family meetings at home. What's going on today? Filled with doubt, Liu Zitong got up and walked to the door, ready to find out.
Liu Zitong told Lu Jin something, then hung up the phone, took her phone, and walked out of the bedroom into the living room. She saw her mother sitting on the sofa with a smile on her face, which was completely opposite to her father's sour expression, leaving Liu Zitong a little confused.
Seeing that Liu Zitong was seated, Liu Fu said, "Today's family meeting is about your boyfriend."
Liu Zitong was taken aback. Why didn't they mention this before the New Year? It's already the fifth day of the Lunar New Year!
Seeing Liu Zitong's expression, Liu's mother knew what she was thinking. However, this was a matter of great importance concerning her daughter's future, so she couldn't be careless. She said, "You haven't met Lu Jin's parents. You've only met your brother, and you're wondering if they don't want you to meet his family?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zitong said, "Mom, what are you saying? I've even met his brother, and I've never brought Lu Jin back with me."
Mr. Liu glanced at her indifferently and said in a very serious tone, "You two are still in college, so your studies are still quite important."
