26: Chapter 26 Meet the Parents
Xu Qianqian rubbed against his chest, her beautiful eyes slightly closed, appearing exceptionally docile.
She was sweeter and clingier than malt candy.
"Didn't I have something to do this morning? I rushed over now."
Xiao Ran kneaded her cheek.
Without makeup, her beauty was still captivating.
It was fleshy.
Rolling it into a ball, flattening it, stretching it... "Oh, stop pinching! So many people are watching!"
Xu Qianqian, with a shy expression, pulled away from his embrace.
"Let's go in! Huh? Brother Xiao Ran, why do you smell of another woman's perfume?"
Xu Qianqian sniffed her nose, her eyes darting around like a curious baby.
Xiao Ran immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
He was careless!
He forgot to review his transition knowledge.
Before coming here, Su Lan had been clinging to him, so her perfume scent was bound to be strong.
Facing Xu Qianqian,
he certainly couldn't tell the truth, so he could only fabricate a white lie.
"Oh, you mean that? Just now, when I took a taxi here, I shared it with someone else.
The person in the car was a heavily made-up, seductive woman, and her perfume... tsk tsk tsk... it was so nauseating! It almost suffocated me."
Xiao Ran's face showed a look of disgust, and he silently apologized in his heart.
'Sorry, Sister Su Lan.'
"So that's what it was."
Xu Qianqian didn't suspect anything; her Brother Xiao Ran wouldn't lie to her.
"Brother, tomorrow I'll buy you a car! You're so handsome, carpooling is too unsafe! Qianqian doesn't want you to be taken advantage of."
That's really not necessary!
I have plenty of cars.
But even if I were to buy one, it wouldn't be your turn to buy it!
You'd have to wait in line!
Murong Lan and Gu Yurou have been complaining for a while now.
Even dates are inconvenient.
"I still have school, so buying a car can wait. Let's go, let's head inside." Xiao Ran skillfully changed the subject.
"Mm, well, you need to be mentally prepared, okay? My... my parents are here too..." Xu Qianqian fiddled with her clothes, somewhat shyly.
Her peripheral vision, however, was expectantly fixed on his expression.
She felt a little anxious.
She was bringing him to meet her parents,
would he be unhappy?
Would he be very resistant?
Would he feel that she didn't respect his opinion and get angry?
"Is that so? I know, I won't embarrass you." Xiao Ran had already anticipated this and said with a smile.
His reaction did not disappoint the young girl.
As if a weight had been lifted, she took his hand.
Two hands, vastly different in size,
yet their fingers intertwined.
Inseparable.
Xu Qianqian walked along, nervously explaining:
"Don't worry, Brother, my mother is very easy to talk to. As for my father, he might be a bit childish, just humor him a little and it'll be fine."
Xiao Ran chuckled inwardly.
Could it be that like father, like daughter?
Well, that's good, Xu Qianqian has such a good temper.
Her parents should be easy to deal with.
Xiao Ran had experience with this kind of thing; after all, it wasn't the first time he'd met a girlfriend's parents.
Anyway, he was meeting them today, and who knew when he'd see them again.
Moreover, he wasn't really going to marry Xu Qianqian.
He had no psychological burden; just enjoy himself and it would be over.
It would be best if her parents disliked him and tried to break them up, disdaining him as a poor boy.
Then he could just throw up his hands: Your parents don't approve, let's break up.
Double happiness!
...The fragrance of youth, graduation is the sorrow of parting.
Crossing the passage of time, passing through the bustling crowd, leaving behind the future's melancholy.
Before long,
Xiao Ran met his "father-in-law and mother-in-law."
"Dad, Mom! Let me formally introduce you, this is my boyfriend, Xiao Ran!"
Xu Qianqian had already mustered up her courage on the way and directly laid it all out.
"Uncle and Auntie, hello, my name is Xiao Ran, I am Qianqian's current boyfriend, and her future husband!"
Xiao Ran smiled, his declaration extremely bold.
Normally, he would have already been flattering his "father-in-law and mother-in-law."
But Xu Qianqian had already reached her full term, so the situation was different.
He even wanted to directly mock them:
Old folks,
just giving you a heads-up, I'm dumping your daughter tomorrow!
I hope you don't fail to appreciate my kindness!
It would be best if you denied this marriage on the spot; then I wouldn't have to rack my brains or be the bad guy.
"Hmph!"
Father Xu's expression was indeed a bit displeased, and he directly turned his head away.
Mother Xu tugged at her husband, who was acting like a child, and calmly assessed her future Son-in-law.
Sunny, handsome, with an extraordinary demeanor.
He was sure to become someone important in the future!
Most importantly, his eyes were full of Qianqian.
One word,
Satisfied.
Lan Yu secretly gave Xiao Ran an 80, and said with a smile:
"Don't mind him, your uncle is just like that. Since Qianqian is fond of you, then you must have something exceptional about you. I trust my daughter's judgment."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Xiao Ran was a little overwhelmed.
It seemed he still couldn't escape the 'mother-in-law law'.
"Hmph hmph."
Father Xu stood there, arms crossed, transforming into a grunting man.
Mother Xu gave Xu Qianqian a meaningful look.
The latter dared not delay, as it concerned her important marriage.
Her father still needed to be appeased!
So she let go of Xiao Ran, ran to her father's side, hugged his arm, and swayed it back and forth,
"Dad, don't be like this, your daughter is very sad, sob sob sob!"
"Hmph!"
Xu Qianqian blinked her large eyes, her eyes slightly moist, as if she was about to cry.
At this moment,
Mother Xu provided an assist!
A glare from across the room!
Finally,
under the dual spell of his wife and daughter, he had an excuse.
"Hmph!"
"I can't do anything with you two!"
Father Xu tapped his daughter's head, then turned to Xiao Ran, saying with a serious tone:
"So you're Qianqian's boyfriend? My name is Xu Mingqiang, Qianqian's father, and the chairman of the Xu Group."
"Hello, Uncle."
Xiao Ran's pupils constricted slightly, his posture stiff, as if he had been startled.
He was giving Uncle Xu a lot of face.
"Dad! You scared Xiao Ran!" Xu Qianqian said, displeased.
Xu Mingqiang was choked by his daughter, and a pile of warning words in his throat were swallowed back down.
He felt a surge of frustration, not knowing where to vent his anger.
On such an important day, to give him such a big shock, not saying anything early or late, but only now mentioning meeting a friend!
This silly daughter!
Dad was giving him a warning!
So that you won't suffer grievances after you marry!
Xu Mingqiang looked at his daughter, who was shielding Xiao Ran, and helplessly said:
"Let's go, it's already past 12, let's go eat first."
...Xu Qianqian also called her friends, and they headed straight to her family's hotel.
Fortunately,
lunch went well, and there was no arrogant face-slapping plot; otherwise, Xiao Ran would have put on a show as the restaurant owner!
Xiao Ran had already eaten with Su Lan earlier, so he just had a few dishes and drank some wine with Father Xu, chatting and laughing.
The Xu family were all very nice people and showed no disdain for his background.
They even promised to give him a few hotels to manage after marriage.
This made him feel a little guilty.
If only he hadn't gotten cancer,
he would have married Xu Qianqian directly, leading 99% of his peers for a lifetime.
Of course,
he was just thinking casually,
if he really had to choose, it probably wouldn't be Xu Qianqian's turn; there were many people in line who were much richer than Xu Qianqian!
After lunch, Xiao Ran didn't linger.
If Xu Qianqian kept clinging to him, she would miss many interesting things today... Xiao Ran found the general director of the graduation party, the student council president.
Under his display of money power,
the president was conquered, and with a moved expression, he squeezed his act into the program.
After doing this,
he inquired about Su Lan's situation.
He had already tasked Old Six to keep a close eye on this matter.
Lest Su Lan be harmed again.
After everything was settled, he checked the time: it was past three in the afternoon!
The graduation party was scheduled to start at seven in the evening, so there was still plenty of time.
He decided to find a place to relax and no longer think about his girlfriend's matters...
