Chapter 943 Meeting the Parents
A week later, He Jing met with Yan's mother at a private kitchen. This private kitchen only served five customers a day, and only black card VIP members could enter.
From the waiters who swarmed around her as she entered to the upscale Chinese-style decor, He Jing asked herself, of all the luxurious hotels she had been to, none had ever achieved such elegance and refinement. It was as if they were about to carve the words "Don't come in if you're poor" onto the signboard.
He Jing immediately recognized the koi swimming in the spring by the small bridge as the famous Matsuba koi, which cost over 100,000 yuan each.
The ornamental ponds on both sides of the small bridge are densely packed with dozens of pine needle koi, clearly of considerable value; the Taihu stones placed in the ponds to ward off evil spirits must cost at least tens of thousands of yuan each.
Fortunately, she had also become successful in this world; otherwise, given her wealth before she transmigrated into the book, she probably wouldn't have been able to calmly say that it was just "quite substantial."
Suddenly, He Jing felt that the white dress was not quite appropriate for the occasion; she should have worn a cheongsam instead.
But when she thought that He Zhou had made the dress, she felt that it was only right.
Yan Hanxi put his arm around He Jing's waist and whispered in her ear, "Don't be nervous, my mom is very easy to talk to."
He Jing smiled and said, "No, I am just..."
Okay, I am a little nervous.
As the waiter led them into the hall, she immediately spotted Yan's mother hidden behind a screen with openwork patterns.
Logically speaking, He Jing shouldn't be so certain since she had never met Yan's mother, but her strong intuition made her immediately convinced of it.
As expected, Yan's mother emerged from behind the screen, wearing a striking red dress with a strong artistic style. The dress was fiery red, which accentuated Yan's fair skin and beautiful appearance, so much so that He Jing couldn't determine her age at their first meeting.
Upon seeing her attire, Yan Hanxi frowned and called out, "Mom."
Ignoring Yan Hanxi, Yan's mother smiled brightly at He Jing and said, "Oh my, this is my future daughter-in-law, her name is Jingjing, right? Jingjing, I am your future mother-in-law, my name is Feng Yuwei."
He Jing gave a well-behaved and dignified smile: "Hello, Aunt Feng, I'm Jingjing."
Mother Yan was overjoyed, looking He Jing up and down repeatedly, praising her endlessly: "You little rascal, you've struck gold! You secretly dated such a beautiful woman behind your mother's back, you're really something."
Yan Hanxi sighed and rubbed his forehead, wanting to remind her to speak more solemnly and at least act like an elder, but then he remembered that this was how she really was and she couldn't keep up the act for long.
So he pointed to his mother's red dress and asked, "Mom, why are you wearing the dress you wore on your first date with Dad?"
Is he here to meet his daughter-in-law, or to outshine his girlfriend?
She's really something.
Mother Yan looked at He Jing with a smile: "I've heard that Jingjing is beautiful. As her mother-in-law, I'll be walking hand in hand with my daughter-in-law in the future. If I don't dress up properly, wouldn't I be embarrassing Jingjing?"
So she took out her most treasured battle dress, determined to amaze He Jing with her beauty.
He Jing quickly said, "Aunt Feng is even more beautiful. She looks good in anything, and this dress is also very pretty."
Mother Yan was overjoyed and stepped forward to take He Jing's hand: "I knew you would like it. My taste is always impeccable. We'll go shopping together later. I'll help you choose the clothes you try on and then take you to a banquet. I guarantee your beauty will be famous throughout City A."
He Jing looked at Yan Hanxi somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this.
Squeezed to the side, Yan Hanxi said speechlessly, "Mom, you can talk, but can you let my girlfriend go first?"
