Ms. He Xiaoqing was thoroughly taken aback.
Who were these people? Each one was dressed in a pure black suit and wore gloves. Moreover, each of them held a box in their hands, and one even carried a safe?
"I'm sorry, Auntie, my brother here has quite a lively personality," Shen Jingyu said lightly, instructing the people behind him, "Put the things down and you may leave."
"Yes!" came the uniform response, as if they had just stepped out of a training camp.
He Xiaoqing was stunned once again.
As Su Xing watched the first group set down eight boxes, they exited, and Luo Hao followed them out, bringing back a second group.
What came next were cigarettes, alcohol, candies, tea, and even pork, lamb, chicken, and fish?
While arranging everything, Luo Hao explained, "I was worried that Auntie might not have enough space for all this stuff, so I specially had a freezer prepared to bring over!"
The small living room of just ten square meters was now completely filled with the items he had brought!
Su Xing looked up at the speechless big shot beside him: "Shen Jingyu, you really should praise your assistant; he’s more capable than any virtuous wife!"
"Well said, Sister-in-law! From now on, you have to look out for us!" Luo Hao said as he counted the items around him, feeling exhausted and nervous; sweat was pouring down his face.
Su Xing found it amusing and handed him a cup of water: "Sit down and take a break. You’ve worked hard this morning."
Who would have thought that a simple meeting gift could turn into such a grand affair? It was almost like a proposal ceremony.
"It’s not hard at all! Brother Yu finally made it to Sister-in-law's house; I should run myself ragged for this!" Luo Hao exclaimed, looking more excited than Shen Jingyu himself.
Just how infatuated was he with Shen Jingyu?
Coughing lightly, Shen Jingyu broke the awkwardness.
Luo Hao took the cue to excuse himself. Before leaving, he winked at Brother Yu: "Talk more and smile more, Brother Yu!"
Luo Hao truly had his heart set on this!
When He Xiaoqing finally regained her composure, Su Xing returned after seeing Luo Hao out.
Shen Jingyu felt somewhat awkward under He Xiaoqing's gaze.
"Auntie," he coughed again lightly. "My assistant may have overstepped; however, this is truly my small gesture of goodwill. Please accept it." He wasn’t as verbose as Luo Hao.
He Xiaoqing silently stood up and walked around the circle of items, unable to help but click her tongue: "Tsk tsk! This really is a case of comparing people—some die while others are thrown away. Meeting the parents like this… Su He is going to have quite the challenge later!"
Su He would never have expected that he needed to prepare all these things for meeting the parents!
If that guy really understood etiquette, would he have gotten himself into such a mess?
Shen Jingyu glanced at He Xiaoqing's expression and initially thought she would be disgusted by the situation. To his surprise, she was truly an easygoing mother. On the other hand, Su Xing was glaring at Shen Jingyu with disdain, but he pretended not to notice.
As it approached eleven o'clock, He Xiaoqing changed into a more formal outfit, and the three of them prepared to head out. During this time, Su He only sent a message to Su Xing, asking if the hotel had been booked.
While muttering to himself about how he owed her, Su Xing still devoted himself wholeheartedly to his younger brother. Before leaving, He Xiaoqing made it clear regarding their belongings: "I've left all the food and drinks; as for the jewelry and other valuables, you can take everything. I won't keep a single piece. Those are all things for young people! They don't suit me."
Su Xing understood Ms. He well; she cherished the few pieces of gold jewelry her father had given her. Over the years, she had rejected the jewelry designed for her, saying she didn't want her son to be burdened by them.
Before stepping out, Su Xing pondered for a moment and chose a mid-range necklace from the pile of jewelry that had just arrived. It was estimated to be worth around six hundred thousand. She prepared to give it to Du Meng, hoping that if she was decent enough in her dealings, as an older sister-in-law, she would be happy to be generous. However, she couldn't be generous with someone else's things.
In the elevator, Su Xing transferred money to Shen Jingyu. Without even looking at his phone, Shen Jingyu didn't notice when Su Xing made the transfer.
"I just transferred you the marked price; consider it a gift for my sister-in-law. As for the rest of those items, have Luo Hao return them. I'm a jewelry designer; I can't just take those," she said.
Shen Jingyu's face seemed to darken. Silently, he took out his wallet from his trench coat pocket and handed Su Xing the most conspicuous black gold card: "Take this and spend it freely."
Su Xing bit her lip; she only had a black card, while this black gold card was said to require assets of over a hundred billion. What on earth had he been doing all these years?
There was also Ms. He in the elevator. Before Su Xing could say anything, she asked first: "Xiao Shen, is your money from the Shen Family or did you earn it yourself?"
"It's my own," he replied confidently. "Auntie can rest assured; even if Xingxing doesn't work in the future, I can still take good care of her."
"Well, you certainly seem capable," Ms. He said approvingly. "Auntie supports you; my daughter is quite hard to pursue. Don't be fooled by her obedient girl act in front of me; she's quite determined in her heart! If she bullies you in the future, tell Auntie—I’ll help you deal with her!"
Thank you, Auntie. With your support, I’m sure that Xingxing and I will have a good life together!
He Xiaoqing couldn't help but ask about the price of Shen Jingyu's car again. When she heard the answer, it confirmed that Shen Jingyu was indeed wealthier than her daughter. However, her worries soon resurfaced.
Little Shen, after so many years abroad, what exactly have you been doing to accumulate such wealth? I know some returnees too, but none of them are as rich as you!
Could it be that this child has earned some dirty money?!
Both Shen Jingyu and Su Xing instinctively thought of the returnee, Lu Xiong, whom they had just met.
Ms. He’s perspective might be limited.
Perhaps I’ve been lucky and made some investments with considerable returns—all safe, so you don’t need to worry.
Shen Jingyu only addressed Ms. He’s primary concern. As for his other ventures, he wasn’t ready to reveal them to Su Xing just yet.
But Su Xing began to ponder whether he had shares in Wangyue Tower or if he might be some sort of behind-the-scenes boss.
When they arrived at Wangyue Tower, the attendant at the entrance called out Zhao Ming upon seeing Shen Jingyu’s license plate.
Before they could get out of the car, Zhao Ming hurried over and respectfully opened the door for Shen Jingyu.
Mr. Shen, Zhai Xing Ge is ready.
Zhao Ming quickly corrected himself after receiving a warning glance from Shen Jingyu.
Shen Jingyu responded lightly and handed the car keys to Zhao Ming before giving them to the parking attendant.
Zhao Ming guided Shen Jingyu while greeting the two ladies.
Mrs. Shen, feel free to let me know anytime if you want to come over; I can arrange Zhai Xing Ge for you.
Su Xing looked around: Are you talking to me? Did Manager Zhao forget my surname?
Miss Su. My apologies for the oversight.
Zhao Ming stole a glance at Shen Jingyu, relieved that his boss didn’t glare at him.
