An awkward silence fell over the room.
Sitting by the hospital bed, Lin Congzhi's face was terribly dark, so dark that he felt ashamed.
Even through the air, Jiang's father and mother could sense how frustrated Lin Congzhi was.
No one is perfect; everyone makes mistakes.
They felt their daughter was being too harsh, and they had to speak up for Lin Congzhi: "Yi Mei, that's enough. Lin is here as a guest today, and as the hosts, we shouldn't be so rude to him."
"It's rare for an outsider to come and visit me, so please don't send them away."
Knowing her parents were greedy and materialistic, Jiang Yimei understood the implications of their words and immediately retorted bluntly, "Dad, Mom! I advise you to put away your ulterior motives, or we can end our relationship just like that!"
"This...this..."
"Why!"
Jiang's father and mother stammered for a long time, and in the end could only sigh.
Their daughter has grown up and has spread her wings; they can no longer control her.
Since a matchmaking effort couldn't be made for the time being, and the topic was too sensitive, let's change the subject. So, Mr. Jiang smiled again and asked curiously, "Xiao Lin, with such a high salary, have you bought a house and a car yet?"
"I bought them all," Lin Congzhi replied expressionlessly.
He was considering whether to leave. Staying here was too awkward; Jiang Yimei wouldn't give him a friendly look.
With a car and a house, and a successful career, isn't this the kind of son-in-law they've been searching for all over the country?
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang immediately beamed with joy, and then continued to inquire, "Where is it? Take me there another day."
Distracted, Lin Congzhi replied politely, "In Chuyun City, if Uncle and Aunt are free, please feel free to come. I will take good care of you."
The housing prices in Chuyun City have risen to 50,000 to 60,000 yuan per square meter. If Lin Congzhi really owns property in Chuyun City, then the salary he mentioned earlier is not a lie.
Owning a house is a good thing, but I don't know if it's a high-rise or a detached house.
Just as Jiang's parents were about to ask, Jiang Yimei suddenly let out a sneer.
"Don't even think about bribing my parents. I mean what I said."
With such a resolute and ruthless attitude, Lin Congzhi was truly impressed by this girl.
He wouldn't want to damage Jiang Yimei's relationship with her parents, so he responded gently and reasonably: "I get along well with your parents, so what's wrong with inviting them over? What's wrong with giving them a warm welcome?"
Jiang's father and mother thought this reason was very valid and immediately agreed: "That's right, we're all grown up now, and we've never been to Chuyun City before."
This reason is completely untenable. Jiang Yimei replied, "Mom and Dad, if you really want to go, I'll take you."
"Don't you have to go to work? What are you bringing? And do you have a place to stay?"
Jiang's parents rolled their eyes at their daughter, feeling that her idea was immature at all.
"Can't you stay in a hotel?" Jiang Yimei asked.
"Is staying in a hotel better than staying at home?" Jiang's parents retorted, their attitude firm.
Jiang Yimei, enraged, accused, "You...you're just after other people's houses."
"How can you say such a thing? We're just visiting as guests. Even if you gave us ten lives, we wouldn't dare break the law and encroach on someone else's private home."
Jiang's parents were also furious, their faces turning blue and purple with anger.
“You know that’s not what I meant,” Jiang Yimei responded.
