126: Chapter 126 Su Ye: This person is quite polite.
This was exactly the effect Su Ye wanted. He had never met the parents before; this was his first time, and heaven only knew what might happen.
When Chen Anan saw that everyone else had received a gift, she glared at Su Ye, pouting, as if to say: "What about me? Where's my gift? I'm part of the family and friends group too, don't treat me like I'm invisible."
Su Ye ignored her completely. "Which bear from Bear Ridge did you escape from? Do you even qualify?"
Furious, Chen Anan grabbed Gu Qingyan's right hand to complain: "Qingyan, your Su Ye didn't even prepare a gift for me."
Gu Qingyan didn't even look at Chen Anan and directly placated her: "Be good, don't make a scene."
Chen Anan: (ΩДΩ).
Su Ye's gift offensive was very successful. Su Ye didn't have much, but he had plenty of money. There is a saying in Sichuan-Chongqing: "If you eat someone's food, your mouth becomes soft; if you take someone's gifts, your hands become soft." Since they were both eating and taking gifts, their hands and mouths would naturally be soft, and they would have to be polite.
After Gu Changhe and Uncle Xu Guo sat down, Uncle Xu Guo whispered: "Brother-in-law, your son-in-law is too generous. Just the gifts tonight must be worth ten, and the food and drinks probably aren't cheap either. I reckon it's at least thirteen or fourteen for the whole night."
"I can see that Qingyan's eyes are practically glued to Su Ye; she's not going anywhere. When they get married, let's try to make the dowry as generous as possible."
Gu Changhe's hand, resting on his lap, couldn't help but tremble slightly. Then, he gritted his teeth and said: "Your sister and I have saved up quite a bit over the years. When the time comes, let Qingyan buy that, what is it, Xiaomi... yes, the Xiaomi SU7 to take back. Don't young people nowadays like those things? And then we'll add a big red envelope of 99,999."
Uncle Xu Guo glanced at the old guy beside him, thinking that he was truly bleeding money. These two things together would probably cost around forty. For his brother-in-law, this was really digging into his life savings.
At this moment, one exquisite dish after another was served, along with several bottles of wine and beverages. With the previous build-up, the entire atmosphere of the meal was quite pleasant.
By the end of the meal, Gu Changhe and Uncle Xu Guo were both drunk. They grabbed Su Ye and tried to swear brotherhood with him. Fortunately, Su Ye was still sober and refused to give in. Just kidding, if he swore brotherhood with his father-in-law, what would that make him?
Xu Ruo and Zhang Hong walked up at the right moment, looked at Su Ye apologetically, and then each grabbed an ear and walked outside.
Walking in front, Xu Ruo was not only twisting the ear but also pinching Gu Changhe's waist tightly with her other hand. Perhaps because of the alcohol's numbing effect, Gu Changhe, who Su Ye saw wincing in pain, didn't react at all.
Zhang Hong was better; she was just twisting an ear with one hand and supporting him with the other. Xu Qianqian looked at her drunk father with a worried face, moving her short little legs to follow along. Her two chubby little hands were held high, fearing her father might fall, not even worried about getting crushed into a little bear cookie herself.
Xu Momo, on the other hand, was unfazed, walking behind with her arms crossed, looking like a little adult, shaking her head and sighing: "Adults are so troublesome."
Su Ye couldn't help but chuckle as he followed behind. These two little ones were really fun; one was like a little sweet cotton-padded jacket, and the other was like a little adult.
A slightly cool little hand took his right hand. Su Ye turned his head and saw Gu Qingyan's worried face: "Su Ye, you didn't drink too much, did you? My dad and Little Uncle are like this when they're drunk. Don't mind them; they even tried to force my grandfather to swear brotherhood with them before."
Su Ye laughed; he hadn't expected Old Gu to have such a dark history. He patted Gu Qingyan's little head: "Don't you know my alcohol tolerance? This little bit of alcohol is nothing."
"By the way, I had someone arrange two designated drivers waiting at the door. Let's walk a bit faster and catch up."
Gu Qingyan leaned her little head on Su Ye's shoulder, nodding with immense sweetness in her heart. Su Ye was always so thoughtful.
Chen Anan walked behind with her hands in her pockets, eating dog food, feeling so full that she couldn't help but roll her eyes constantly.
On the street outside Zhilan Restaurant, three delivery guys were standing by the roadside bragging. When they saw the group walk out, they hurriedly went up to meet them.
Su Ye distributed them casually. After Xu Ruo helped Gu Changhe into the car, she said apologetically: "Xiao Su, I'm really sorry, you spent so much money today."
Su Ye waved his hand quickly: "Auntie, as long as you enjoyed the food and drink today, that's all that matters. I was just worried I didn't take good enough care of you; please bear with me."
Xu Ruo felt relieved hearing this, then asked: "Xiao Su, are you living alone now?"
Su Ye nodded: "Yes, Auntie. I bought a house here in Chengdu and live by myself."
Xu Ruo glanced at Gu Qingyan, who was staring intently at Su Ye, sighed slightly in her heart, and then said: "Auntie sees that you've had quite a bit to drink tonight, and I have to take care of your uncle tonight. How about this, let Qingyan take you home later."
Su Ye was overjoyed, while Gu Qingyan didn't say anything, lowering her little head. Her little face could be seen flushing red under the streetlights.
After saying this, Xu Ruo didn't give them any time to speak, waved her hand, and walked towards the car. Halfway there, she remembered something and turned around to say: "Oh, right, Qingyan, your dad, Little Uncle, and I are heading back tomorrow morning. We have to go to work, so no need to see us off."
Xu Qianqian poked her little head out of the car window, waving her little hand and shouting: "Handsome brother-in-law, goodbye sister!"
Xu Momo also poked her little head out and waved.
Gu Qingyan raised her head, looking a bit dazed as she watched her mother get into the car. After both cars had left, she looked blankly at Su Ye and asked: "What did my mom mean by that?"
Su Ye lowered his head, looking at Gu Qingyan with a slightly mischievous smile, and said: "What do you mean? It obviously means she's handing you over to me."
Gu Qingyan's cheeks flushed red, and she glared at Su Ye with a huff.
Chen Anan, standing to the side, couldn't take it anymore. She stomped her feet and shouted in exasperation: "Hey, are you two pretending I don't exist? I'm still right here!"
Su Ye glanced at Chen Anan: "Sorry, didn't see you."
Gu Qingyan covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Ahhh!" Chen Anan felt like she was going crazy. She glared fiercely at Su Ye, as if she wanted to lash out at him with her gaze, then angrily got into her little Jeep. She slammed on the gas and sped off into the distance. As she passed Su Ye, she opened the car window, stuck out her left hand, and gave him the middle finger to show her respect.
Su Ye grinned: "Hey, this person is quite polite, huh? Still waving goodbye before leaving."
"Pfft!" Gu Qingyan burst into laughter and patted Su Ye's shoulder in dissatisfaction: "Alright, Anan just has a childish temper. Don't provoke her so much in the future."
Su Ye shrugged and spread his hands: "That's not my fault. Who told her to be so oblivious?"
Gu Qingyan rolled her eyes at Su Ye.
Su Ye took the opportunity to pull Gu Qingyan into his arms and walked towards the back seat of his AMG: "Alright, let's go home. We'll talk when we get home. My head is so dizzy; this alcohol really went to my head."
"I'm telling you, I just bought a luminous watch, it's super good-looking. I'll take you home in a bit to appreciate it together."
