The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 879: Chapter 879: Beautiful Daughter-in-Law Meeting the In-Laws

At Xintian Square, surrounded by a dazzling array of goods, from food and entertainment to clothing and daily necessities, everything was available here, and it was bewildering not knowing what to buy.

Normally at this time, Lin Tian would be carrying big bags and small bags, but now he only bought some jewelry and a box of bloodbird nest, and nothing more.

Lin Tian said with a wry smile, ”What are you looking to buy as you keep wandering around here? Let’s just get some cigarettes and wine, it doesn’t have to be too complicated. Gifts aren’t important, what my parents like is you.”

Hearing Lin Tian say this, Liou Qingcheng felt a sweet joy in her heart.

”No, this is the first time meeting your parents, how could we give ordinary gifts?”

Looking at the well-stocked mall, Liou Qingcheng still felt dissatisfied.

What was unsatisfactory about it?

These things were too common and not substantial enough!

”Let’s go home!” said Liou Qingcheng.

”Why go home?” Lin Tian was completely puzzled; they hadn’t finished shopping yet.

”You’ll know when we get back!”

...

For the first meeting with the in-laws, Yan Xinrou planned to just host them at home; no hotel, however nice, could compare to the warmth of home.

Ingredients were all prepared in the fridge, ready to be cooked when the time came.

So now, all Yan Xinrou had to do was wait for Lin Tian and Liou Qingcheng to bring the guests over.

Yan Xinrou was lounging on the sofa, feet up, wearing a face mask, munching on chips, and watching a mindless idol drama out of sheer boredom.

The more she watched, the more she felt the show was pointless. As for idol dramas, the plot doesn’t matter, it’s all about the looks.

Sadly, no man in this show was as handsome as Lin Tian, and no woman was as beautiful as Liou Qingcheng, nor did any of them have any charisma.

She flipped through two more channels and found them even more boring.

Suddenly, the front door opened. She turned her head and saw that it wasn’t anyone else but Lin Tian and Liou Qingcheng.

”Why are you two back? Lin Tian, where are your parents?” Yan Xinrou quickly put her legs down and muttered to herself, ”Aren’t they almost here? You two didn’t even give me a heads-up, and I haven’t changed my clothes yet.”

”No, we haven’t gone yet.”

”Then why are you back?”

”I thought for my first meeting with Lin Tian’s parents, I should bring something special; what I bought was too ordinary,” Liou Qingcheng laughed, ”I remember you told me there’s a hundred-year-old Huadiao wine buried under the tree in the backyard?”

As Liou Qingcheng’s mother, Yan Xinrou knew her daughter all too well.

A single look could explain everything.

Lin Tian saw the mischievous look on this mother and daughter pair, and he had a bad feeling.

”Huadiao wine... maybe it’s not necessary? Anyway, I’m bringing my parents over later, we don’t need to take too many things,” Lin Tian said.

Yan Xinrou said, ”You don’t get it, do you? The first impression in meeting the in-laws is very important. You wait here, Qingcheng and I will be back soon!”

Finished speaking, Yan Xinrou, like a playful child, grabbed Liou Qingcheng’s hand, laughing and whispering secretly as they left.

...

Lin Hao and Zhang Nianping had already received a call from their son, saying he was bringing Qingcheng over.

Upon hearing this news, the two were so happy they couldn’t stop smiling, asking this and asking that.

After hanging up the call, they began to prepare.

Actually, there wasn’t much to prepare. They now lived in a small, independent villa that Wu Yong had prepared for them, quiet and comfortable with nothing much to tidy up.

Originally, there were a few maids hired by Wu Yong in the villa, but they had been relocated by the old couple.

Truth be told, the two were not accustomed to living in such a luxurious villa, waking up every day felt like being in a five-star hotel.

They didn’t have to do any chores, and if even cooking and mopping had been done by others, wouldn’t they go crazy from having nothing to do?

As people from the countryside, Zhang Nianping and Lin Hao were used to being busy all year round.

For example, even in the dead of winter, they needed to set up a greenhouse, covering it with grass mats every night.

This idle lifestyle these past few days was driving them crazy with nothing to do.

Now hearing their son was bringing the daughter-in-law over, inviting their son and daughter-in-law to stay at their home without having to cook.

Zhang Nianping didn’t know what to do, so she just sat on the sofa waiting, not paying attention to what was on TV, and occasionally peeking out the window.

”Nianping, stop pacing around; you’re making me dizzy,” Lin Hao set down the teacup he was holding and asked, ”Quick, think about what we should give as a gift? Giving money might be too tacky, right?”

Zhang Nianping said with a cheerful smile, ”Oh, I’ve already thought about that. I still have that jade bracelet your mother gave me twenty years ago. Didn’t we have it appraised a couple of years ago? Told us it’s premium Hetian jade, could sell for twenty thousand.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Hao nodded, ”That jade bracelet has been passed down in the Lin Family, giving this would be nice, it’s just...”

”Just what?”

”It’s just that Lin Tian is such a playboy. If you give away the jade bracelet now, what will we give if Shishi comes next time?”

Zhang Nianping slapped her forehead, ”Look at me, I’m too excited! Lin Tian, that brat, doesn’t he make things hard on his mother, dating so many girlfriends.”

Though she complained, Zhang Nianping smiled so broadly that her mouth could barely close.

”Anyway, we’re free now, let’s go to a lively place later and buy something meaningful for Shishi.”

Lin Hao nodded, ”That works too, we shouldn’t let our son pay for gifts to the daughter-in-law; we should pay ourselves!”

Zhang Nianping laughed, ”And, and, we also need to buy something for the grandchildren. Oh dear, I just don’t know how many to buy. Are ten Longevity Locks enough?”

”Hahaha...” Lin Hao couldn’t help but laugh out loud, ”Ten? Do you think our son is a pig? Can he have ten kids, hahaha...”

Zhang Nianping rolled her eyes at Lin Hao with annoyance, ”What’s wrong with having ten? In the previous generation, who didn’t have four or five kids? Lin Tian has two wives, so why not buy ten?”

Lin Hao hurriedly waved his hands, ”Alright, alright, buy them! I think ten is not enough, let’s buy twenty!”

Zhang Nianping snorted, then squinted her eyes as if thinking about something.

Ding-dong~

The crisp and pleasant sound of the doorbell rang.

Zhang Nianping and Lin Hao exchanged a glance and said in unison, ”They’re here!”

Then, with joy in their hearts, the old couple walked to the door and opened it together.

The door opened, and outside stood a golden couple, the matching look on their faces made the parents pause for a moment.

Most of their attention was on Liou Qingcheng since this was the daughter-in-law they had never met.

”So beautiful~” Zhang Nianping murmured to herself.
