Upon seeing that her mother had finished speaking, Lin Huanxi looked at her with a stunned expression.
She approached and gently pushed her, asking, "Mom, what's wrong?"
"Oh, no, nothing, nothing."
Hou Caichun regained her senses and quickly waved her hand, turning her gaze to Lin Shengxi, who also looked somewhat confused, and shouted at him:
"You, with your brain meningitis, what are you waiting for! Put down the phone and go prepare tea for the guests!"
"Ah, yes, yes, I'll go prepare the tea!"
Lin Shengxi nervously smiled, as he had been distracted by Tang Yu's Pagani.
He also liked sports cars, or rather, what man could resist the charm of a sports car?
He had never seen that specific Pagani model, but just looking at it, he knew it was no ordinary car.
"Hello, aunt, this is a small gift for you and uncle."
Tang Yu took the gifts from the car and handed them to Hou Caichun.
The gifts consisted of a necklace and a framed painting.
Both had been bought at the mall as a gesture for the meeting.
"What's this? If you just came to greet us, you didn't have to bring gifts, no need for such formality! You're the Young Master Tang, right?"
Hou Caichun was delighted, with a wide smile. She really liked young people who knew how to behave.
Unlike Ye Qiu, that bastard, who left home and, by chance, ended up as vice president of the Wuji Group, but in the end, didn't benefit her at all.
After receiving the gift, she led Tang Yu into the house to rest with an affectionate look on her face.
Once Tang Yu was sitting on the couch, Hou Caichun ran out again and saw the security guards patrolling. She gave them a warning:
"Hey, take good care of my son-in-law's car! If anyone scratches his luxury car, I'll go hold the administration accountable."
"…"
The security guards were left confused, not knowing what to say.
They were all very impressed with this old lady now, who always gave them orders out of the blue.
If it weren't for the police department's regulations, they wouldn't even like patrolling around here.
Once she finished with her instructions, Hou Caichun returned to the house, satisfied, and approached Tang Yu with a smile.
"Don't worry, little Tang. I've already spoken with the administration and asked them to keep an eye on your car, so your luxury car will definitely be parked safely."
There was no underground parking at her house and no private garage, so the cars could only be parked in front of the house.
"Thanks, aunt."
Tang Yu smiled politely, thinking to herself that the favor she did with the administration didn't seem very effective; at least the guards hadn't spit on the car.
"Come on, little Tang, have some tea."
Lin Shengxi, with pleasure, had prepared a teapot with the best tea in the house for Tang Yu.
This tea had been a gift from an old schoolmate a few days ago.
Since moving to this area, he had invited his old classmates over to celebrate his move.
When they found out he had actually moved to a villa, their attitude toward him was much more respectful, and they even brought luxurious gifts.
"Thanks, uncle. Also, sit down and have some. Huanxi told me that you like antiques, so I brought a painting specially for you."
Tang Yu pointed to the wooden case on the table with a smile.
"How thoughtful of you, little Tang! I won't be modest, I'll take it out to enjoy it."
Upon hearing it was a painting, Lin Shengxi couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
"See how you are? Why are you so anxious?"
Hou Caichun said sarcastically while staring at the case that Lin Shengxi was holding.
She also wanted to open the gift to see what Tang Yu had brought her.
She decided to wait and not touch anything, hoping the old man would go ahead.
Lin Shengxi ignored his wife's words, knowing her character well.
He carefully opened the case and took out the painting. As he opened it, his eyes widened in surprise, and after examining it closely, he exclaimed in amazement:
"Little Tang, is this a work by Master Wang Fenglai?"
Tang Yu smiled and nodded.
"Wang Fenglai? The one who sells salmon?"
Hou Caichun didn't understand these things, so she asked curiously.
"What do you know, woman! He's a calligrapher and painter." When speaking about his area of knowledge, Lin Shengxi couldn't help but feel a little smug and proud.
"Master Wang's works have become famous in China in recent years. This painting, 'Moon over the Lake on a Rainy Night,' is worth at least 12 million."
Upon hearing the figure of twelve million, Hou Caichun's head started buzzing.
Is it really worth that much?
Without saying a word, she quickly rolled up the painting carefully and put it back in the case, saying:
"We must keep these things safe, so they don't get damaged! It's a gift from little Tang."
"…"
Lin Shengxi was about to slap himself.
Damn it, I shouldn't have told her the price. There's a 90% chance this painting won't stay here long.
After putting the painting away, Hou Caichun opened the other gift Tang Yu had prepared for her.
When she saw the necklace with red diamonds, she exclaimed in surprise.
"Little Tang! This is too much! It's obvious it's very expensive! Better return it, at my age, it's not appropriate to wear something like this."
"It's not that big a deal, aunt, it looks great on you, and it's not that expensive, just a few million."
Tang Yu smiled slightly.
That phrase was like when, during the New Year, they tell the elders not to give a red envelope. It's clear they just want to know how much it costs.
"Oh, your boy is so thoughtful."
Hou Caichun was delighted, she put on the necklace, and quickly took out her phone to take some selfies.
Seeing the satisfied expression on the elderly couple, Tang Yu couldn't help but feel a little curious.
The protagonists of the useless son-in-law novels, I don't know what they think.
When it's so obvious that you can gain points with a small expense, they have to be criticized for hundreds of chapters before they even start showing their abilities!
Isn't this more like eating until full and then starting to do foolish things?
A little familiarity is fine.
Lin Huanxi sat next to Tang Yu and gently took Tang Yu's hand, smiling happily.
She hadn't experienced this kind of harmonious family atmosphere in many years.
After talking for a while, Hou Caichun got up and said:
"Little Tang, there are no more vegetables at home. I'm going to go out to buy something to make a nice meal for you. If there's something you like, let me know."
"Don't worry, aunt, I just came to visit and, by the way, to talk about something."
Tang Yu raised her hand to indicate that she shouldn't go to so much trouble.
Upon hearing that it was about something, Hou Caichun became attentive, full of expectations.
Could it be about when he was going to marry her daughter?
She hoped it would be soon! She wished her daughter would marry Tang Yu as soon as possible.
And as for the dowry, it wasn't necessary. Only those without money worry about such things.
They were from a well-off family, they just had to go through the formalities, and the son-in-law couldn't be that bad with her.
"It's about Ye Qiu."
As soon as Tang Yu spoke, the three members of the Lin family looked at him with strange expressions.
"Perhaps you don't know, but lately he committed a crime and is now a fugitive. The police are looking for him everywhere."
"After I started being with Huanxi, surely he will be filled with resentment."
"For safety, I'd like you all to go play in Su Hang for a while. My house is there."
"When they capture him, you can return without any problem."
Tang Yu smiled while organizing everything.
When Ye Qiu escaped, he had already received the news that he was on the most-wanted list.
Moreover, with the reward offered by the Wei and Qi families, both mafia people and authorities were trying to find him.
It was uncertain if at some point Ye Qiu would get desperate and act impulsively.
For precaution, Tang Yu could only ask the Lin family to go to Su Hang for a while.
