Chapter 17: Noble Academy 17 Passed the Assessment
Cheng Yu was very nervous. This was his first time meeting the parents of his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.
He practiced a lot of opening lines on the way, but when he really arrived at the Wu family, these words were of no use. He was drowned in the enthusiastic crowd of the Wu family.
My uncles and aunts are very nice, as are my grandparents. If he doesn't have a cold face, he will be a handsome guy when he smiles. He can get along with everyone and say sweet words at any time, making the elders in the family nod in satisfaction. He is also generous in giving out red envelopes, and he immediately becomes the children's favorite.
Cheng Yu was so happy that he almost lost his mind by hearing the words "uncle" and "uncle" being called over and over again, and he threw out red envelopes like water.
He was well prepared. There was a box in the trunk full of red envelopes, which he had his servants pack before he came. He brought one million yuan with him, and each red envelope contained five thousand yuan, enough to give out. Everyone could receive a few. He had been promoted to the children's favorite uncle.
As for the ones given to elders, they are given individually, so naturally there won’t be so much greetings. These are for children.
Seeing Cheng Yu surrounded by elders, who kept asking him questions like how old he was, where he was from, what he was doing, etc., Cheng Yu just responded with a smile.
As the boyfriend of an only daughter, Wu Yue's parents are very serious.
They only have this one daughter, and her future life is entirely up to her. If she wants to get married, she can marry, and if she doesn't want to, she can marry. The family has everything they need, and they have enough to live a good life in the second half of their life.
As for the later years of his life, the Wu family had many brothers and sisters and descendants, so there were always a few kind-hearted people willing to lend a hand, and after his death, the inheritance would be taken over by those who took care of him.
But now my daughter has a boyfriend, and the young man has followed her home. The couple has examined his character and found him to be really good, so they feel a little relieved. The only thing they feel is that the two children are not very old, only around 20 years old, and they have a long future ahead of them. A few years is enough time for them to change.
Wu Yue had been pushed aside. She shook her head helplessly and went to serve tea and water with her brothers and sisters. Then she was surrounded and questioned.
"Tell me the truth, your boyfriend must be a super rich second generation, right? I received three red envelopes totaling 15,000 yuan." A cousin was shocked by this generosity.
The red envelope lay quietly in his pocket. As the brother-in-law, he was originally going to be tested, but he was immediately captured.
The red envelope Cheng Yu used was a specially customized one, big enough to hold more than 5,000 yuan. It was so thick that it felt heavy in his hand, and he was nervous when handing it out.
When the person who received the red envelope opened it, they saw a stack of red bills, which was so dazzling that everyone was shocked and dropped their jaws. It was a little hot to hold, but they were also excited.
Wu Yue touched his nose and nodded, "I guess so."
Strictly speaking, the identity of a rich second generation is too underwhelming for Cheng Yu. He should be a super rich nth generation, and the Cheng family’s greatest power is not money.
It was quite joyful to receive a generous red envelope, but no one really lost their minds. "Ayue, you should return the money. It's too much."
In addition to money, there were many gifts. Each one was an expensive top-level luxury item. There were also many bodyguards following him when he came. It seemed that he was not just rich.
Their family backgrounds are too different. If they can't be together in the future, taking the red envelope will only cause trouble for Wu Yue.
"It's okay, just take it if I give it to you. If you don't want it, he will think you don't welcome him and want to break up the couple." Wu Yue knew Cheng Yu's character.
"Don't worry, this amount of money is not enough for him to go out for a race and change a tire." Racing is very expensive, and it's not enough to just have a car.
Since Wu Yue said so, they just accepted it with a smile. It would not look good if they returned the gift since the other party came to visit them.
Dinner is prepared by the male elders in the family. It is an old tradition in their family. Women rarely cook, so it is men who do it.
In order to show off his cooking skills, Cheng Yu followed his future father-in-law into the kitchen.
Seeing him skillfully put on the apron and cut the potato shreds with a knife, Wu's father nodded with satisfaction. A good man should be able to go into the kitchen, work in the living room, beat up hooligans and warm the bed. At present, this kid is barely qualified.
"Cheng Yu, right?" Dad Wu was stirring the food in the wok while Cheng Yu was helping him. Upon hearing this, he immediately tensed his back and said, "Yes, uncle, you said it."
"Chinese New Year is the time when the most relatives visit. Now that you are here to pay New Year's greetings, everyone in the family knows that you are my daughter A Yue's boyfriend. If you can't get along with her in the future, don't hurt my daughter A Yue. She is the treasure that her mother and I hold in our hands. If you don't like her anymore, tell us and we will take her home." Dad Wu knew that Cheng Yu's family background was not ordinary, but he couldn't control the feelings of young people.
The saying "rich families match rich families, and poor families match poor families" has been around since ancient times and this is true. When the family differences are too great, there is a sense of novelty at first, but when it comes to getting used to the marriage, there is a difference in ideas and concepts. Over time, the gap will widen and be exposed, and that is the real test.
This is not inferiority. The Wu family is not bad. Some of their descendants are engaged in business, some are small leaders in government departments, some are teachers, or some are engaged in research and scientific research. Overall, it is a large and well-developed family with a good family background and generations of integrity. They look down on ordinary people.
However, the Wu family also has its own rules. Every time they get married, they will follow the old traditions, consider the other party's family background and their ways of dealing with people, and pay great attention to the marriage issues of the younger generation.
But Cheng Yu is obviously not an ordinary person, they can't afford him, so it's normal for Dad Wu to have this worry.
He didn't want his daughter to be hurt. When the status gap is too great, the weaker party often suffers the consequences.
"Uncle, I understand your concerns." Cheng Yu nodded seriously.
He couldn't understand Wu's father's concern and empathize with him by thinking about what would happen if he had a daughter in the future.
Because his and Wu Yue's daughter was born to stand at the top and did not need to look down on the people below. Her identity as the eldest daughter of the Cheng family was enough to attract countless people to pursue her.
It's just that he loves Wu Yue and respects Wu's father because he loves her. He can understand that this is the love a father has for his daughter.
"I know that if I make a promise now, you'll think I'm too young to trust, and that I'll change in the future. But I still have to say that you know that with my status, there's no such thing as changing after becoming successful. What others spend their entire lives striving for, I was born with. If I were someone who treated relationships casually, it wouldn't have taken me so long to have A-Yue."
Cheng Yuhui was serious. He didn't want to make empty promises in front of his elders. "Besides, my father and grandfather only recognize Ayue. You can rest assured that I am the least important person in our family. You may not be sure that my feelings for Ayue will remain unchanged, but you can always be assured that Ayue will have a worry-free life in the future, with wealth and honor, and gain respect in social status."
"With other men, you wouldn't just worry about how long your feelings for A-Yue would last, you'd also have to worry about whether you could support the family, whether you could provide A-Yue with a good life, and even whether he'd hurt A-Yue for his own future. But with me, you don't have to worry. Besides love, money and power are the true tonics of a marriage, and I have both. Even if the day ever comes when A-Yue and I fall apart, that won't be for many years. Until then, everything she has is enough for her to live freely, without having to worry about material things or being bullied. The Cheng family's young mistress is her protective umbrella."
Cheng Yu lowered his eyes, watching the clear water flow over the back of his hand. "Take a step back, you can trust Ayue. She is the one who controls this relationship. I submit to her. I am her devout believer. And believers will never betray their gods."
If it were anyone else, Cheng Yu would naturally not say these words, but Wu Dad is not someone else, he is his future father-in-law, so Cheng Yu will give him the highest respect.
"Good boy, you have a good mouth." Father Wu was convinced by him and patted Cheng Yu on the shoulder with a smile, "Okay, I'll take care of it here by myself, you go chat with grandpa and grandma."
There is a saying that is indeed true, a good man is one who cannot stand other men, and everyone will change. He believes in his daughter's choice. His child is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, beautiful and intelligent. She is a very independent and rational child. She has enough charm to make Cheng Yumi bewitched.
A person's external temptation will eventually disappear one day. There are many beautiful young appearances in the world, but spiritual attraction is the real binding for a lifetime.
Age is not the problem, the problem is the person himself.
Cheng Yu knew that he had passed the assessment of his future father-in-law, and he curled his lips into a smile, "I really can cook. Don't worry, I'll show you my skills tonight."
"Okay, I'll see how good your cooking is. If you want to be my son-in-law, you have to be good at cooking."
Father Wu stepped aside.
"Satisfaction guaranteed!"
Cheng Yu practiced his cooking skills for a long time.
After all, if you want to spend a warm time together at home, shopping and cooking together is one of the best ways to do it.
After the food was ready, Wu Yue was teased at the dinner table about which dish was made by Cheng Yu. When she actually tasted it, the teasing became louder, making her blush. Cheng Yu, on the other hand, smiled happily, raised his glass, and said all kinds of nice things, as if it was their engagement scene.
There were still fireworks on the night of the second day of the Lunar New Year, and children in the yard were setting off firecrackers. Cheng Yu had never played with them before, and now he was having a lot of fun playing with a group of children. He was also generous, and with a wave of his hand, he asked the bodyguard to carry two large boxes back. The bodyguard was also eating here, holding a bowl of hot dumplings, and the hot steam made his frozen red face feel warm.
After playing tired, Cheng Yu and Wu Yue took a walk, looking at the stars in the sky and the fireworks exploding not far away. There were laughter and joy behind them, and the two were secretly holding hands.
Cheng Yu suddenly bent down and kissed her on the cheek. After being with Wu Yue, he smiled more and more. His eyes were bright and full of Wu Yue's figure. "Ayue, thank you."
Wu Yue didn't understand, "Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for coming to me, thank you for being with someone like me, thank you for spending so much time with me, thank you for not looking down on me."
Cheng Yu can say a lot.
But what he was most grateful for was the choice to stay.
He didn't know why he had this thought, but when he lost his memory, he felt a moment of panic and always felt that he was about to lose her.
"You are writing a short composition and making parallel sentences." Wu Yue smiled.
"Aunt, uncle, let's set off the fireworks!"
At the moment when the moon was the roundest and the night was the brightest, Cheng Yu and Wu Yue lit a bunch of fireworks together, which exploded in the night sky, dazzlingly bright.
Fireworks are fleeting, but the happiness left behind is engraved in memory and becomes eternal.
