125: Chapter 125 What did my father-in-law say back then?

Gu Changhe recalled the scene in his mind. It went like this: the moment he entered the house, his father-in-law was sitting upright on the sofa, with a cup of tea steeping on the coffee table.

After Gu Changhe was welcomed to the sofa by his mother-in-law, his father-in-law seemed to have greeted him first, then asked how many people were in his family, what he did for a living, and what his future plans were.

After clearing his thoughts, Gu Changhe put on a nonchalant expression and said:

"Little Su, is there anyone else at home?"

Su Ye: ???

Gu Qingyan: ???

Uncle Xu Guo: ???

After Xu Ruo realized what happened, she quickly pinched her husband's lower back. Gu Changhe also realized he had misspoke and hurriedly said:

"Ah, that's not what I meant, Little Su. What I meant was, is your job legitimate?"

Zhang Hong: ???

Uncle Xu Guo's face was twitching.

Gu Qingyan had already lowered her little head.

Xu Ruo could only pinch Gu Changhe's lower back hard again, making him grimace in pain.

"Wrong, wrong, wrong. What I meant to ask is, what do you plan to do in the future?"

After saying this, Gu Changhe let out a long sigh of relief. This time it must be right, right?

The scene was silent... For the first time, Xu Ruo doubted how she had ever fallen for this man.

Seeing the fine beads of sweat on Gu Changhe's forehead, Su Ye smiled and said:

"Uncle, besides my parents, grandparents, and maternal grandparents, I also have a younger sister back home."

"As for me, I currently run a few companies, and the revenue is quite good."

After saying this, he glanced at Gu Qingyan, who was lowering her little head:

"As for my next steps, I plan to continue developing my companies while spending quality time with Qingyan. Please rest assured, I will never let Qingyan down."

Gu Changhe didn't know if he had misheard, but he heard several sounds of relief from those around him.

Xu Ruo: This son-in-law is pretty good; he has high emotional intelligence.

Uncle Xu Guo: As expected of a big boss, he can even smooth this over.

Gu Qingyan: "Heehee, Su Ye is so good."

"Uncle, Auntie, Little Uncle, Aunt-in-law, let's go inside and sit down."

Su Ye let Gu Changhe and Xu Ruo sit in the main seats, then sat down next to Gu Changhe and first asked:

"Uncle, Auntie, Little Uncle, Aunt-in-law, do you have any dietary restrictions?"

Seeing everyone shake their heads, Su Ye looked at the waiter on the side:

"Excuse me, please serve our dishes, and open the wine I brought."

After the waiter left, Su Ye looked at Xu Qianqian, who was staring at him without reservation from across the table, and Xu Momo, who was looking him up and down like a little adult. A gentle smile appeared on his face as he casually pulled two small pendant necklaces from his pocket. Hanging from the red strings were little, chubby, golden Little Grey Greys.

"What are your names, you two little cuties?"

Xu Qianqian's big eyes followed the golden pendant in Su Ye's hand; it was just too cute. She said with a milky voice:

"Handsome brother-in-law, my name is Xu Qianqian."

Beside her, Xu Momo was also staring at the pendant, her eyes filled with a trace of longing, but she didn't forget to tease her sister:

"Xu Qianqian, you're so stupid. Mom said we shouldn't tell strangers our names; a girl's name is a secret."

Xu Qianqian didn't care at all and continued to stare at the pendant in Su Ye's hand.

Seeing the pendants in Su Ye's hand, Zhang Hong realized that this was likely a welcome gift from Su Ye to the two little ones. With that golden color and texture, Zhang Hong didn't think it was fake gold or gold-plated silver. Judging by the size, it was at least ten grams, and with the craftsmanship, it wouldn't cost less than ten or twenty thousand.

"Little Su, this—this is too expensive. They are still young, you should put it away."

Hearing her mother's words, Xu Qianqian pouted unhappily, but still lowered her head and stopped looking at the pendant.

A flash of disappointment also crossed Xu Momo's eyes, and she looked away.

Uncle Xu Guo also advised:

"That's right, Little Su, this—is indeed too expensive."

Su Ye got up, walked behind Xu Qianqian, grabbed her chubby little hand, and pressed the pendant into her palm.

"It's fine, Little Uncle, Aunt-in-law, this is just a welcome gift from me to the two cute little ones."

After saying that, he also pressed one into Xu Momo's little hand.

Gu Qingyan watched Su Ye's actions with a smile the whole time and didn't speak to stop him. Although she didn't know the full extent of Su Ye's net worth, based on what she currently knew, he had about a billion in cash flow; this little bit of money was just a drop in the bucket for him.

Furthermore, she had already decided she was Su Ye's person, and Gu Qingyan was very happy that Su Ye treated her family this way.

Seeing she couldn't stop him, Zhang Hong could only sigh:

"Then thank you, Little Su."

Then she looked at the two little ones and said:

"You two, aren't you going to thank Brother Su Ye?"

Xu Qianqian was the most proactive; she lifted her little face and smiled brightly:

"Thank you, handsome brother-in-law!"

Xu Momo moved her little mouth and then politely said:

"Thank you, Brother Su Ye."

After finishing, her little eyes glared fiercely at Xu Qianqian, who was looking at the golden pendant in her hand with excitement, and she secretly thought: "Sycophant."

After giving the gifts to the two little ones, Su Ye pulled out two Hermes bags from behind the screen on the side.

"Auntie, Aunt-in-law, these are some silk scarves I chose for you two. I don't know if you'll like them."

Xu Ruo didn't know if she should accept them. Just from the fact that Su Ye had given out two gold pendants earlier, it was obvious that these two scarves would definitely cost over ten thousand. She knew that she and her husband didn't even earn ten thousand a month currently.

Zhang Hong, however, lowered her head and said directly to Xu Ruo:

"Sister, Qianqian and Momo already accepted the gifts earlier. If we don't accept them now, won't that be a slap in the face to Little Su? Just accept them; this is the child's good intention."

"Besides, when Little Su comes to visit us or when he marries Qingyan, we can just contribute more and treat him well then."

Persuaded by this, Xu Ruo thought that made sense, so she smiled and accepted the gift bag:

"Thank you, Little Su, for being so thoughtful."

Su Ye smiled gently:

"It's only right, Auntie. You are Qingyan's family, which makes you my family. If I'm not good to you, who would I be good to?"

Zhang Hong also accepted the gift bag and praised:

"Little Su, not only is he handsome, but he's also so thoughtful and has a successful career. Our Qingyan has really struck gold."

Gu Changhe and Xu Ruo on the side didn't reply, but the happiness on their faces was visible. This son-in-law of theirs was truly a credit to them; his character and conduct were impeccable.

After Xu Ruo and Zhang Hong sat down, Zhang Hong peeked at the scarf in the bag. Sure enough, it was an Hermes black and grey color-blocked wool Avalon III shawl. She happened to have it saved in her shopping cart; it cost over ten thousand.

Su Ye took out two more gift bags and handed them to Gu Changhe and Uncle Xu Guo:

"Uncle, Little Uncle, this is some Baihao Yinzhen tea I've had before. I think the taste is quite good, and I think you two will like it."

Uncle Xu Guo was also a tea lover. As soon as he saw "Zhang Yuan Ji Baihao Yinzhen" written on the bag, he lightly hefted the weight and thought: "Well, this is another ten or twenty thousand."

With their group eating and taking so much, they would have to be soft-spoken from now on.
