What? !
His family wants to see him?!
That's way too fast!
Su Huazhu didn't expect things to be so fast; they went to meet her future in-laws just a few days after confirming their relationship, which caught her off guard.
She wasn't mentally prepared and was a little uneasy.
"After my family heard about it, they wanted you to know that they like you very much and also to learn about our family situation."
Ling Xiaohe had long wanted to finalize his marriage with Su Huazhu. He was worried that things might change if he delayed, given how good she was.
Anyway, he just lacked confidence; he was just worried and afraid.
He seemed to be caught between a sense of gain and loss; he couldn't feel at ease until he settled things down with someone soon.
"Let me think about it. It's too fast. We've only been dating for a few days, and now we're going to meet each other's parents right away. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?!"
Su Huazhu didn't want the Ling family to think that she was eagerly seeking something from them. After all, things that are obtained without effort are never cherished, a principle she understood all too well.
"Huazhu, I don't have confidence in myself. You're too good, too outstanding, perfect in every way. I'm worried that I'm not as good as others, and that I can't be by your side often..."
His job meant they couldn't be together often, couldn't be by her side. What if he wasn't there, and a better man came along?
Su Huazhu: "..."
Speechless. Isn't he overthinking things? These are all baseless rumors.
However, when she saw his somewhat uneasy expression and the look in his eyes that fell on her, she couldn't help but soften her heart.
"Whether someone is outstanding or not is not important; what matters is suitability and mutual confidence and trust. As for visiting your home, I need to discuss it with my family first."
Su Huazhu solemnly expressed her attitude and decided to tell her mother about the matter so that her mother could give her advice.
Ling Xiaohe was truly overjoyed. He told his future mother-in-law that the matter was at least half settled.
The other half, naturally, depends on the performance of one's own family members. If they perform well, then it's practically a done deal.
The next step is for both sets of mothers to meet, then discuss the wedding arrangements and date, and finally, register the marriage.
After strolling around the park, Ling Xiaohe and Su Huazhu had hot pot for lunch, and then went back to Gulou Street together in the afternoon.
Cai Qingwen's family decided to return to Hai City on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. Starting from the second day of the Lunar New Year, Qiao Jiuru, Su Huaiyuan, and Lao Feng took their family, along with Feng Lu, Su Xingchen, and Su Xinghai, out to play every day.
The Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, the Monument to the People's Heroes, Yongzheng Palace, Jingshan Park, Beihai Park, Shichahai, Yuanmingyuan, Summer Palace, the Great Wall, the National Museum of China, Prince Gong's Mansion, White Pagoda Temple, Beijing Zoo...
They left early and returned late, and ate lunch at restaurants outside, which made the three children very happy.
However, what's different is that tonight marks the first formal meeting between the Su and Jin families to discuss Su Feng and Jin Zhu's marriage.
The restaurant was personally booked by Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Jiuru. It was the most famous restaurant in Beijing, and they specially booked a private room with three tables inside.
In addition to personally hosting a dinner party, Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan also drafted a betrothal gift list, which was to be given to Su Feng after the wedding.
The betrothal gifts naturally consist of a set of gold jewelry, a set of precious stones, a ginseng root, a Patek Philippe women's watch, and two taels of cash.
As for what was given to Su Feng, it consisted of three apartments in Beijing, including one bought by Su's uncle, a small box of jewelry, and 30,000 yuan in cash.
"Xiaoze, Xiaofeng, Huazhu, the rest will be given to you later. All three of you will receive the same things."
Two hours before leaving for the hotel, Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan called all three of their children to their private room.
Qiao Jiuru looked at the three children in front of her, feeling somewhat dazed. Her memories of her past life were becoming increasingly blurred. In her past life, everyone except her was gone. Now, they were all safe and sound beside her.
Su Ze, Su Feng, and Su Huazhu stared at the things laid out in front of them, hardly believing their eyes.
So many houses, so much jewelry, and so much money... they couldn't help but wipe their eyes.
"Mom and Dad, this is too much. We are rich."
"Me neither. I'm not married yet, and I don't want my parents to separate."
"Mom and Dad, we don't want to separate the family property, and all of this belongs to you, not to us."
"Yes, we have a salary. At home, we eat and drink your food too. You keep these things and don't give them to us."
Su Ze and Su Huazhu, Su Feng's first thought was that their mother would separate the family and then abandon them. How could they possibly be willing to do that?!
In the hearts of the three siblings, as long as their mother is alive, they feel they have a home. Their mother is their harbor, the light on their lighthouse, and their pillar of support.
“I will keep Huazhu’s money for her. You two brothers, one of you is married and the other is about to get married, so this is for you. Your father still has some money, which he keeps for business and buying houses.”
“The money we’re giving you isn’t just any money. It’s 30,000 yuan per person, and it’s for you to buy property, to buy houses or shops, to do important things.”
"Especially Xiaofeng, since Jinzhu is in Guangzhou, you should buy a house there after you go back this time. I'll tell you which location to buy, you can just decide for yourself."
Su Ze, Su Feng, and Su Huazhu, the three siblings, listened attentively, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was good that their mother wasn't dividing the family property among them; it was better that their mother wasn't dividing the family property among them.
"Mom, we'll listen to you."
These houses were already renamed by Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan long ago; it was done at the same time as when Uncle Su bought the houses for them.
Apart from Su Huazhu's belongings, the two brothers, Su Ze and Su Feng, moved all the things their mother had given them back to their own houses.
About half an hour later, everyone set off together for the restaurant.
