116: Chapter 116 Meeting the Parents

Jiang Qin, after all, had come from poverty.

A pure cotton T-shirt costing eighteen hundred and eighty-eight exceeded Jiang Qin's comprehension.

Even a million in savings wouldn't be spent like that.

In the end, the two of them went to the familiar wholesale clothing market and picked out two outfits after much deliberation.

One was a black and white casual set for Fang Xun.

The other was for Jiang Qin: a very gentle green dress.

The dress had a touch of New Chinese style, and it looked both gentle and beautiful on Jiang Qin.

"Brother."

Back home, Jiang Qin still looked wronged.

She had clearly promised to take her brother to buy nice clothes, but after going around in circles, they still ended up at the wholesale market.

If time hadn't been short, they might have even checked out the Tomato Mall.

"Oh my, our Jiang Qin paid for things and still looks upset?"

Fang Xun pinched the girl's cheek, pulling it into all sorts of shapes.

"Wait for me a second, I'll try mine on first."

Fang Xun said, releasing her face and heading inside with the big and small bags.

Although Jiang Qin had tried on her clothes, Fang Xun hadn't. He had just estimated the size before buying them.

When Fang Xun reappeared in the living room, Jiang Qin's eyes immediately lit up.

It wasn't that Fang Xun had changed much.

It was just that Jiang Qin was enveloped by a sense of happiness—the happiness of her brother wearing the clothes she bought for him.

"Handsome or not!" Fang Xun casually brushed his hair.

"... Brother, stop touching your hair, you look a bit like a flashy young man."

Jiang Qin had originally wanted to give a compliment, but seeing Fang Xun's gesture, she couldn't manage to say one.

"... Fine."

Fang Xun suddenly remembered that Qi Lian had said something similar...

Immediately after, Jiang Qin returned to her own room.

She also went to change her clothes, making preparations in advance.

For the rest of the afternoon, the two leaned against each other on the sofa watching television.

However, even though Jiang Qin was very close to Fang Xun this time, he showed no intention of holding her on his lap.

Last time, her brother had casually held her on his lap, just like when she was little.

Jiang Qin looked down at her light green long dress.

Could it be because the long dress was inconvenient?

She should wear short skirts at home in the future.

But right now, she was very happy too.

Jiang Qin leaned against Fang Xun, her small head resting on his shoulder.

Time passed, second by second.

Until the front door of the house was pushed open.

"Hehehe! Brother, Qin Qin! I'm here!"

Tang Xiaotang bounced in from the doorway, full of youthful energy.

Behind Tang Xiaotang were Qi Lian, whose expression was normal, and Shen Yue, who was peeking around.

This girl had picked up Qi Lian and Shen Yue first before finally coming to Fang Xun's house.

"Xiao Tang, Yue Yue, Lian Lian, you're all here."

Seeing the group, Jiang Qin let out a subtle sniff before standing up enthusiastically to welcome her good roommates.

"Hehe, Qin Qin, are you and Brother ready? If you're ready, we'll head out!"

"We're ready. I thought Xiao Tang would call first."

Jiang Qin said with a smile.

"That's good, let's go, let's go."

Tang Xiaotang immediately skillfully linked arms with Jiang Qin and led her toward the exit with the other girls.

"Brother, keep up!"

"Okay."

Fang Xun responded and followed the girls downstairs.

Downstairs, the Dingqiao S8000 was indeed parked there.

At that moment, the welcome lights of the Dingqiao S8000 were elegantly spreading out a carpet of light.

Setting aside other things, the emotional value provided by this car was certainly generous.

The group got into the car, and Fang Xun consciously took the front passenger seat.

He would let the girls snuggle together; he wouldn't interfere.

Soon, the gods were in place, and the Dingqiao S8000 started.

This exceptionally elegant car started its autonomous driving just as gracefully, taking the group toward Tang Xiaotang's home.

Although it wasn't the first time seeing this car, it was the first time riding in it.

This thing was much more Advanced than Little Green, Little Yellow, or little blue.

Fang Xun couldn't help but look around like a country bumpkin.

Jiang Qin, watching Fang Xun's embarrassing display from the back, inexplicably felt a lot more at ease.

An embarrassing brother meant he was very safe.

"Brother, do you like it?"

Sitting in the driver's seat, Tang Xiaotang looked at Fang Xun, who was intently examining the car, and couldn't help but giggle.

A brother like this was much easier to handle.

"It's beautiful."

Fang Xun was not stingy with his praise.

"Look as much as you like if you like it, look wherever you want."

Tang Xiaotang promised generously.

Fang Xun: "?"

Not long after, the Dingqiao S8000, with its blue lights shining, traveled down a small path lined with birch trees and arrived in front of a mansion.

In front of this mansion, quite a few black business vans were parked. Judging by their brands, they were all rather unusual.

"Wow..."

"So big..."

"Xiao Tang, is this really your house?"

Jiang Qin looked at the place and suddenly felt that her million dollars wasn't that useful anymore.

As soon as they got out of the car, the girls were stunned.

The mansion didn't look overly luxurious.

But it was secluded amidst the hustle and bustle. In this downtown area where every inch of land was precious, they had managed to build a small estate that resembled a rural resort.

Beneath their feet were exquisite bluestone slabs, and before them stood a small estate that looked ordinary but contained hidden wonders.

Nearby, there were even several acres of cultivated fields growing seasonal vegetables.

These were all tended to by dedicated staff.

"It's nothing much, really."

Tang Xiaotang had grown up here and didn't really think it was a big deal.

To her, it felt no different from the countryside. She never understood why her father, Tang Datang, favored this residence so much instead of living in a villa.

Of course, although everyone was shocked, the points of shock were slightly different.

Take Shen Yue, the country girl, for instance.

"Wow, Xiao Tang, your family's field is so close to home! It must be so convenient to work there."

Shen Yue was astonished.

"Aiya, stop looking at the fields. Let's go, let's go."

Tang Xiaotang nudged the girls and headed into the courtyard.

Once inside, that sense of low-key luxury was even more evident.

"WTF, this pavilion. WTF this pond. WTF a Gold Dragon Fish?"

As he walked along, Fang Xun's WTFs never stopped.

Jiang Qin even stopped him specifically and pinched his arm hard.

It was someone else's house; even if he was embarrassing, he shouldn't be this embarrassing.

After being disciplined by Jiang Qin, Fang Xun immediately shut up.

He silently followed the girls through the pavilions and towers.

After passing through a corridor, the group finally arrived at the main hall.

"You brought classmates back?"

Perhaps hearing the commotion, or perhaps having received word from the servants.

A tall, slightly overweight middle-aged man walked out from a side hall.

"Haha, quite a few people! Come sit, come sit, everyone sit down."

The middle-aged man greeted them warmly, leading the group to sit around a tea table.

Fang Xun secretly touched the tea table. It was a single slab of Golden Silk Nanmu, a full four fingers thick.

What a ridiculously rich family.

"Oh? Little friend has some knowledge of this wood?"

The middle-aged man noticed Fang Xun's small action and smiled.

"No... no..."

Fang Xun chuckled sheepishly.

He had made a fool of himself.

Meanwhile, Tang Xiaotang, seeing Fang Xun's expression, would have definitely burst out laughing and mocked him mercilessly if the occasion had been different.

"Haha, no matter. I almost forgot to introduce myself. I am Xiao Tang's father. My name is Tang Datang."
