Chapter 237 True Wealth and Power 12
Chapter 237 True Wealth and Power 12
On Wednesday afternoon, after Xu Yanmo finished his class, Ziyue had already prepared gifts to bring to everyone when she visited the Xu family.
We prepared a Duan inkstone for Grandpa Xu and a guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument) for Grandma Xu.
The gifts prepared for Mrs. Xu and Aunt Xu were a set of imperial green jadeite jewelry and a set of violet jade jewelry, respectively.
An antique calligraphy and painting was prepared for Mr. Xu, top-quality tea was given to Mr. Xu's uncle, and a guitar handcrafted by an internationally renowned master was given to Mr. Xu's cousin...
Xu Yanmo knew that Ziyue had prepared gifts for his family, but he did not expect that the gifts she prepared were so valuable and that they suited everyone's tastes in every way. This showed how much thought she had put into them, and he was deeply moved.
After putting everything in the trunk, he drove Ziyue back to the old house where Grandpa and Grandma Xu lived.
This is a three-courtyard siheyuan. Xu Yanmo had just parked his car at the gate when his cousin heard the noise and immediately jumped out.
Seeing the two get off the car, Xu's cousin didn't even glance at his older cousin. He just stared at Ziyue with bright eyes, controlling his inner turmoil. He politely stepped forward to greet her. He had to restrain himself and leave a good impression on his goddess. "Hello, sister-in-law."
But inside, I was screaming: Ahhhhh, the goddess is so beautiful! I got to see her up close!!!
Ziyue looked at the tall boy standing in front of her, who was about 185 cm tall and had chestnut hair, and replied with a smile, "Hello, cousin."
My cousin Xu, also known as Xu Yanyi, is indeed surnamed Xu, because Aunt Xu married someone who also had the surname Xu.
Xu Yanyi excitedly led the way, "Sister-in-law, this way."
Xu Yanmo looked at his cousin, who seemed to have no eyes for his wife and didn't even see him, and couldn't help but cough twice to remind him that he was still there.
Xu Yanyi then cast a disapproving glance at him, saying nothing, but her eyes clearly said, "What do you want? Don't interrupt my conversation with the goddess."
Xu Yanmo's eyes darkened slightly; he was almost laughing in anger. This kid!
"Come help me carry these things, be careful, they are all gifts prepared by your cousin's wife."
Xu Yanyi stepped forward reluctantly, only to have Xu Yanmo stuff a box half her height into her arms.
Xu Yanmo and Xu Yanyi couldn't carry it all either. Fortunately, the nanny came out at this moment. All of them, except for Ziyue, were carrying a lot of things and entered the living room together.
The people in the living room were already impatient, craning their necks, "Why haven't they come in yet!"
"I'm coming."
"Back, back."
As soon as Ziyue entered, everyone in the living room turned around, their eyes sparkling as they stared intently at Qing Ziyue.
That passionate and affectionate gaze was something Ziyue had never encountered before. Was this whole family so warm and welcoming to her?
After Xu Yanmo introduced them to each other, everyone received a gift that Ziyue had specially prepared for each of them, and they were all even happier. They all thought that Xu Yanmo was incredibly lucky to have found such a good wife.
The group moved to the dining room, and Ziyue saw that there were many of her favorite dishes on the table. Needless to say, Xu Yanmo must have told his family about her tastes and preferences in advance and prepared them especially for her.
Ziyue glanced at Xu Yanmo sitting next to her and scratched his palm under the table.
Xu Yanmo grabbed that mischievous hand, squeezed it, and then let go of her. He then picked up her favorite dishes and placed them on the plate in front of her.
The Xu family didn't have any rules about not speaking while eating or sleeping, so everyone chatted while eating.
"Xu Yanmo, hurry up and peel shrimp for your wife! These hands of mine aren't for peeling shrimp. Look at you, don't you have any sense of propriety?" Xu's mother looked at her troublesome son with disdain.
The others nodded in agreement. Indeed, their granddaughter-in-law's hands were priceless, invaluable; they couldn't be used for peeling shrimp. Of course, this brat had to do it!
Xu Yanyi, in particular, looked at his cousin with dissatisfaction. His goddess's hands were the hands that created the world, how could she do something like peeling shrimp? Xu Yanmo, don't you have any sense?
What exactly did his goddess see in his cousin? Just his face?
Thinking of this, Xu Yanyi was heartbroken again. "Oh, goddess, how could you be so foolish! My cousin, aside from his face, is a complete lunatic!"
At this moment, none of the Xu family members remembered that Xu Yanmo's hands were also insured, and were a particularly precious pair of hands.
Even if he remembers, he'll probably just say, "How can that be the same? No matter how important it is, it's not as important as his daughter-in-law/granddaughter-in-law/niece-in-law/cousin's hand."
Xu Yanmo felt wronged. Everyone was piling food onto his wife's plate, almost overflowing it, without giving him a chance to be attentive. Now they were blaming him for being tactless.
For a time, both host and guests enjoyed themselves immensely, creating a harmonious and joyful atmosphere.
After the meal, Ziyue received gifts from everyone, all of which were of considerable value.
Grandpa Xu gave her a two-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house).
Grandma Xu gave her a box full of jewelry, all of which looked to be antiques.
Mr. Xu also gave Ziyue a house.
Xu's mother gave Ziyue a car.
Aunt Xu and Uncle Xu were quite direct; they gave her a small box of gold bars. It was really heavy when you held it—truly, they were incredibly wealthy!
Even her cousin Xu prepared a gift for her, his sister-in-law—a painting with great collectible value.
In addition, everyone prepared a large red envelope for her.
On her way home, Ziyue looked at the large red envelopes in her bag and said to Xu Yanmo, "Gaiming, I'll take these red envelopes and buy jade, emeralds, and gold."
Xu Yanmo smiled indulgently: "Okay."
Since meeting his parents, Xu Yanmo has started preparing for their wedding.
Choosing a wedding dress, taking wedding photos, booking the banquet venue, and planning the honeymoon itinerary—Ziyue didn't have to worry about any of it. She would cooperate when necessary, and she didn't need to worry about anything else. Xu Yanmo and the Xu family were very considerate and handled most things themselves.
On the wedding day, Ziyue only needs to attend as a beautiful bride.
Ziyue and Xu Yanmo sent wedding invitations to their colleagues at the school and their students.
Their students posted their wedding invitations on the campus website, which aroused envy and jealousy from a bunch of classmates.
Waaaaah, why aren't they Teacher Qing and Teacher Xu's students? It's so annoying!!! I'm so envious, sob sob~
