Mother Qiu first rolled her eyes at her husband Qiu Liming and said, "Who said I changed my mind? I've always been optimistic about Xiao Xia."
Then she took her daughter's hand and comforted her, "Mengyun, you and Xiaoxia, don't think too much. Mom doesn't mean to look down on Xiaoxia's family background, nor does she think Xiaoxia has done anything wrong. On the contrary, Mom is even more satisfied with him after Xiaoxia came here."
"Although Xiao Xia is a few years younger than you, he's done very well in everything from dealing with people to treating others well. With such a good future son-in-law, what could Mom be dissatisfied with?"
Qiu Mengyun asked in confusion: "Mom, since you are so satisfied with Xia Tian, why don't you accept his gift?"
Mother Qiu smiled and said, "It's not that I don't want to accept it, but I think this gift is too valuable. As elders, it's enough for us to see you happy and content. As for gifts, no matter what you give, as long as we understand your intentions, that's enough."
After hearing Qiu's mother's explanation, Xia Tian also breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he was passed as soon as he entered the door.
If he was really kicked out by Qiu Mengyun's mother, he would be really embarrassed.
Qiu Mengyun accompanied him home and made his parents and grandfather very happy.
As a result, he was passed over as soon as he arrived. How could he explain this to Qiu Mengyun?
Xia Tian pushed the gift box back in front of Qiu's mother and said, "Auntie, this gift was originally meant for you. No matter how valuable it is, it's just a pile of dead things. As long as it can make you happy, then it's worth it."
Mother Qiu looked at Xia Tian and said earnestly, "Xiao Xia, you are confused!"
"This gift was exchanged for your father's life-saving grace to Wang Tianfeng. Do you know how much this life-saving grace is worth to Wang Tianfeng?"
"You're using up this friendship just to give me a gift. That's a huge loss."
"Although your father and Wang Tianfeng were once close friends, this bond of gratitude always wears thin. You might as well return this gift so that Wang Tianfeng will always owe your family a debt of gratitude. In this way, with Wang Tianfeng's care, your life won't be too hard even if our Qiu family falls."
Hearing what Mother Qiu said, Qiu Mengyun said coquettishly, "Mom, what are you talking about? Our Qiu family is doing well, how could it fail? My dad is still in his prime, and my brothers are also young and promising. Our Qiu family will definitely prosper."
Qiu Liming took his wife's words to heart and began to persuade her, "I was inconsiderate about this matter. Xiaoxia, why don't you just listen to your aunt and return the gift!"
I heard that the reason why Qiu's mother refused to accept my gift was actually because of my consideration.
He was worried that this gift would weaken the relationship between him and Wang Tianfeng.
Xia Tian was both moved and speechless. He was moved that Qiu's mother really regarded him as her future son-in-law.
Everything I do now is for my own good.
What’s speechless is that Qiu’s mother has no idea the truth at all.
The relationship between his family and Wang Tianfeng cannot be severed by such a gift.
It is even more impossible to ask Wang Tianfeng to take the initiative to distance himself from his family.
Xia Tian smiled and explained, "Auntie, so that's what you're worried about! If that's the case, then you can accept this gift with confidence."
"Perhaps I didn't make it clear before, but Uncle Wang actually gave me this gift on his own initiative. Besides, the relationship between him and me in our family is even better than you might think."
"Wang Tianfeng is not only my father's comrade-in-arms, but also my grandfather's apprentice. He treats me like his own son or nephew. This is just a normal gift exchange, and there is no such thing as repaying a favor or repaying a debt."
Mother Qiu asked in surprise, "Xiao Xia, are you telling the truth? Are your family's relationship with the Wang family really that good? Are you deliberately saying this to trick me into accepting the gift?"
Xia Tian nodded: "Of course it's true. I, Xia Tian, don't have many good points in my life, but one thing is that I never lie."
"Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough!" As soon as Xia Tian finished speaking, Qiu Mengyun, who was drinking water over there, choked.
Qiu's mother only watched the show occasionally, so she didn't know that Xia Tian would say similar lines every time he lied.
Seeing that Qiu Mengyun was choked, she quickly reached out to pat Qiu Mengyun's back.
"You little girl, you're already an adult, how come you can still choke when drinking water!"
Qiu Mengyun smiled awkwardly: "Um, it's mainly because I just suddenly thought of a very funny joke, and I couldn't help but choked."
Qiu Liming said helplessly: "What kind of jokes are you thinking about when you are drinking water? You really deserve it."
Qiu Mengyun didn't dwell on this topic, but helped Xia Tian explain: "Mom, just accept it. What Xia Tian said is true. He and Uncle Wang have a very close relationship."
"After giving him the gift, Xia Tian said he would treat him to a meal some other day. Uncle Wang directly invited Xia Tian to his house for dinner, and said that his wife missed Xia Tian's cooking skills and asked him to come over and show off his cooking skills."
Hearing Qiu Mengyun's words, Qiu Liming sighed, "It seems your family and the Wang family are really closely related! Everyone in Hangzhou's upper class knows that Wang Tianfeng rarely brings people home, and family dinners are even rarer. Even the few leaders who have a good relationship with him don't have the opportunity to dine at his house."
Mother Qiu was now completely relieved. "Well, since it won't affect your relationship, I'll accept this gift. To be honest, I really like this set of jewelry. I'm going to hold an appreciation meeting at home someday to let the ladies in my circle see the treasure my future son-in-law gave me."
