Chapter 432 Meeting the Father-in-Law
On the day of the visit, Chen Yuejin was dressed very formally. He asked Li Luo to help him choose the suit at Chen Yuejin's request. He also chose the most fashionable hairstyle of the time and groomed it meticulously to make it smooth and shiny, making him look like a successful person at first glance.
Even the watch on Ling Zhuoqun's wrist was lent to Chen Yue by Ling Zhuoqun for show.
Chen Yuejin was seen carrying bags of gifts and half an elbow in his pocket. He came to the family compound under the guidance of Qi Nana.
"Nana, take another look at me. Is this appropriate?" Chen Yuejin was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead and the handkerchief in his hand was almost soaked with sweat.
Qi Nana smiled slightly: "Why are you so nervous? Don't worry, my parents won't eat you."
"I told them that when you guys wanted to come visit, they had no objection and agreed for you to come, so don't feel too burdened."
Chen Yuejin responded with "hmm", but it seemed as if his soul had left his body for a while.
Coming to the familiar door and looking at the stairs, Chen Yuejin breathed a sigh of relief. All along, he had been watching Qi Nana go upstairs, but he never expected that now, he would be able to hold Qi Nana's hand and walk forward together.
When he arrived at the Qi family's door, Chen Yuejin plucked up his courage and knocked on the door.
The person who opened the door was none other than Du Haitang.
As soon as he came up, Du Haitang looked Chen Yuejin up and down.
Is this Nana's vision? He looks ordinary, not even as good as the son of the Zhang family. And seeing how reserved he is, it seems that he has never seen a big scene.
"Ah... Hello, Auntie." Chen Yuejin stammered to greet Du Haitang, and then bowed 180 degrees: "It's our first meeting. These are some gifts for Auntie and Uncle. They are all specialties from our family. I hope Auntie won't dislike them."
Du Haitang looked at the packages of varying sizes in Chen Yuejin's hands, and even her hands turned red from being strangled. It was obvious that he valued Qi Nana very much.
"Come in quickly, don't stand outside like an idiot."
As soon as he entered the door, Chen Yuejin saw Qi Shutong sitting upright on the sofa, leaning on a cane.
Qi Shutong just glanced at Chen Yuejin, and Chen Yuejin felt a little sad, but he finally steadied himself. Behind him was Qi Nana's hand, giving him strength.
"Hello uncle, this is a small gift from me, please don't refuse it."
After Qi Nana took the gift, she winked at Chen Yuejin and handed the box of wine to Chen Yuejin.
Chen Yuejin understood what he meant and handed the wine to Qi Shutong.
Qi Shutong snorted coldly. Although his daughter was attracted to this man, he couldn't let this man marry his daughter easily. He had heard his daughter introduce Chen Yuejin to him.
Chen Yuejin is a rural man with a low level of education. Apart from his endless energy, he has no other strengths, and he works in the countryside.
With all these things happening, how can he be worthy of his daughter?
Although Chen Yuejin looks like a decent man now, he is a man. He can tell at a glance that Chen Yuejin's intention towards Nana is not pure! He just wants to be a Phoenix Man, so that he can advance his career.
"Uncle, I heard from Nana that you like this, right? This is specially brought for you." Chen Yuejin bent down, looking at Qi Shutong's expression. Qi Shutong said "hmm" softly, and his eyes lit up when he looked at the wine box.
"Wow, this wine is hard to find, and it's an aged wine!" Now, Qi Shutong was reluctant to open it and drink it. If he kept this wine as a treasure, how proud he would be when others saw his wine!
Although Chen Yuejin's gift touched his heart, he still couldn't show too much joy: "I think it's just average. The wine we have is not worse than this."
"Haha, of course. Uncle's family is high-class, so these are naturally not in his eyes."
"Auntie, this is your gift. Although it's not very expensive, I can guarantee that you will like it." Chen Yuejin handed the gift box to Du Haitang with both hands.
Du Haitang opened the gift box, and what came into view was a lifelike pomegranate tree full of pomegranates, some of which had fallen to the ground, with the pomegranate seeds scattered.
"Pomegranates symbolize good fortune, longevity, and prosperity. Moreover, it is hand-embroidered by a master craftsman. It is said to be a prize-winning piece from two years ago." Du Haitang could hardly stop smiling.
It was obvious that Chen Yuejin came here with full sincerity. Even Du Haitang felt embarrassed to give Chen Yuejin a cold shoulder, so she quickly asked Chen Yuejin to take a seat.
Originally, Qi Shutong was planning to take advantage of Qiao again, but he didn't expect that his wife would surrender so quickly. He thought in his heart that Du Haitang was ignorant.
But when Du Haitang brought the handkerchief to Qi Shutong and pointed at the name on it, even Qi Shutong was speechless.
The name of teacher Qi Nana is written on it. He had heard Qi Nana talk about it before. Her teacher's works are priceless, so Chen Yuejin must have an extraordinary relationship with her to be able to get such good materials.
Even for his daughter's sake, he had to be nicer to Chen Yuejin.
"Dad, I'm back. I brought my buddy Xiao Xiao back for dinner." Qi Liancheng walked in with a briefcase and his arm around the personnel department of the unit.
When he saw Chen Yuejin, his face darkened: "Who is he? Why did he come to our house?"
Qi Liancheng knew that today was to entertain Chen Yuejin, but he just didn't want Chen Yuejin to succeed. Why did everyone go to the countryside? What was so good about the countryside?
Isn't it possible to buy whatever you want in the city? Why do you have to go to the countryside to suffer?
"Brother... why did you bring the guests back? I'll give you some money, you guys go to the cafeteria to eat!" Qi Nana whispered as she took Qi Liancheng aside, and then whispered to Qi Liancheng.
"I've already said this. If we want to invite friends to our house for dinner, it's just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks. It's no big deal." Qi Liancheng said indifferently.
Qi Nana's face turned pale. She didn't expect her brother to be so disrespectful to her. How could she give an explanation to Chen Yuejin?
"It's okay. Just like what brother said, it's just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks. We are all friends after all, so just treat it as friends coming together to have a meal."
Qi Shutong's gaze immediately fell on Qi Liancheng's colleague, and he kept looking at him.
This young man has a handsome appearance and works with Liancheng, so he knows him well. After all, he is better than a city dweller.
Qi Shutong thought about it for a long time and did not refuse for the moment, so he let the other party stay.
