After speaking with his mother, Huang Haitang, He Siyan decided to contact Gu Yunxi as soon as possible and arrange for her to visit their home. He picked up the phone, found Gu Yunxi's contact information, and then made the call.
After the call connected, He Siyan's voice was relaxed and expectant: "Yunxi, when are you free recently? My mother would like to invite you to our house for a meal."
Gu Yunxi paused for a moment on the other end of the phone, then answered softly, "Siyan, is this a meeting with the parents?" Her voice carried a hint of nervousness and curiosity.
He Siyan smiled and comforted her, "Yes, but don't be nervous. My mother is a very nice person. She just wants to meet you and get to know you."
Gu Yunxi took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down: "Okay, Si Yan, I understand. I should be free next weekend, is that a good time for you?"
He Siyan was overjoyed to hear that Gu Yunxi was willing to come: "That's great, Yunxi. Then let's set it for next weekend. I'll tell my mother in advance and ask her to prepare some of your favorite dishes."
Gu Yunxi smiled and replied, "Thank you, Si Yan. I will prepare some gifts, hoping to leave a good impression on your mother."
He Siyan said gently, "Don't worry too much, I believe my mother will like you very much."
The two chatted for a while longer before ending the call. He Siyan then contacted his mother, Huang Haitang, to tell her that Gu Yunxi would be visiting their home next weekend.
Huang Haitang was delighted to hear this and began planning the menu for that day, wanting to ensure everything was perfect and that Gu Yunxi would feel at home.
After finishing her phone call with He Siyan, Gu Yunxi felt both excited and nervous. She knew that meeting her boyfriend's parents was a big deal and required careful preparation. Therefore, she sought advice and guidance from her family, especially her mother, Xia Liang.
Seeing her daughter's nervousness, Xia Liang smiled gently and comforted her, "Yunxi, don't be too nervous. When you meet Siyan's parents, the most important thing is to show your true and polite side."
Gu Yunxi nodded, but was still a little uneasy: "Mom, this is my first time meeting your parents. What kind of gift should I bring? Are there any special etiquette rules I should be aware of?"
Xia Liang thought for a moment and offered her advice: "You could choose a fruit basket or health supplements as a gift to express your sincerity and care. As for etiquette, remember to be polite, offer help, and don't be too casual. At the dinner table, be mindful of table manners, don't interrupt, and listen more and talk less."
Gu Weiguo added from the side, "Yunxi, He Siyan's family will definitely ask you some questions to find out about your family and personal situation. Just answer honestly and don't be nervous."
Gu Yunxi listened attentively to her family's advice, gradually gaining a better understanding of what to bring. She began to think about the gifts she should bring and how to dress, hoping to leave a good impression on He Siyan's family.
The next day, Gu Yunxi and Xia Liang went to the mall together and picked out some exquisite gifts. Xia Liang also helped Gu Yunxi choose a suitable outfit that showcased her youthful vitality while maintaining a dignified and elegant demeanor.
On the appointed day, Gu Yunxi arrived at He Siyan's doorstep with a carefully prepared gift and wearing clothes that Xia Liang had helped her choose. She took a deep breath and then rang the doorbell.
He Siyan's mother, Huang Haitang, opened the door herself. Upon seeing Gu Yunxi, she immediately smiled warmly: "Yunxi, welcome. Our Siyan often mentions you, and it's great to finally meet you today."
Gu Yunxi's nervousness gradually eased under Huang Haitang's warm hospitality. She smiled and replied, "Auntie, hello. This is a small gift I brought. I hope you like it."
Huang Haitang accepted the gift and thanked him repeatedly, saying, "Yunxi, you're too kind. Please come in and sit down."
When Gu Yunxi sat in He Siyan's living room, the atmosphere was warm and friendly. Huang Haitang and He Siyan's father warmly welcomed her and chatted with her, quickly turning to inquiries about her family situation, just as He Siyan had done at the Gu family before.
Huang Haitang smiled and said gently, "Yunxi, we've heard that your father is a soldier and your mother is a very successful businesswoman. Could you share some information about your family with us?"
Gu Yunxi felt the warmth and care of He Siyan's family, and she relaxed a bit, beginning to introduce her own family: "Yes, Auntie. My father is a soldier, and my mother is a businesswoman. They both place great importance on education and personal growth."
He Siyan's father also showed interest: "What is your daily life like at home? Do your parents have any special expectations for you?"
Gu Yunxi thought for a moment, then replied, "Our family has a very harmonious atmosphere. My parents always encourage my sister and me to pursue our interests and dreams. They hope that we can become responsible and loving people."
Huang Haitang nodded in agreement: "It sounds like your family education is excellent. Your parents' views are very similar to ours, which makes me feel more at ease about your relationship with Siyan."
He Siyan sat down next to Gu Yunxi, gently taking her hand to offer support and comfort. Looking at his parents, he said earnestly, "Mom and Dad, Yunxi's family and she herself have left a very good impression on me. I believe you will like her too."
Through these exchanges, Gu Yunxi gradually felt the friendliness and acceptance of He Siyan's family. Her responses not only allowed He Siyan's parents to gain a deeper understanding of her, but also strengthened the connection and understanding between the two families.
He Siyan's parents were very impressed and satisfied with Gu Yunxi. In their conversation with Gu Yunxi, they discovered that she not only had a good family background, but was also outstanding herself: well-mannered, polite, and deeply affectionate towards He Siyan.
During her conversation with Gu Yunxi, Huang Haitang nodded repeatedly, expressing her high regard for Gu Yunxi's family values and personal qualities: "Yunxi, your family education is really great, and your words and actions have left a deep impression on us."
He Siyan's father also expressed interest in Gu Yunxi's academic and career plans: "We heard that you have excellent grades in university. What are your plans for the future?"
Gu Yunxi replied modestly, "Thank you for the compliment, Uncle. I am still exploring my career path, but I hope to achieve something in my professional field."
He Siyan looked at Gu Yunxi with pride in his eyes: "Yunxi has always worked very hard, and she has clear plans and goals for the future."
Huang Haitang and her husband exchanged a satisfied look. They had a very good overall impression of Gu Yunxi and considered her a trustworthy and reliable person. Huang Haitang smiled and said, "We, as parents, are really relieved that Siyan has found a partner like you."
At dinner, He Siyan's family prepared a sumptuous meal for Gu Yunxi. Everyone ate and chatted in a very harmonious atmosphere. Gu Yunxi also brought some carefully selected gifts, including some high-quality tea and exquisite pastries, which were appreciated by He Siyan's family.
