Chapter 42: Just who the heck is he?

"A betrothal gift?" Geng Jing Shu held the box, feeling as if it weighed a thousand catties.

She was so shocked she didn't know what to say.

"Jing Shu, Dad said it's a betrothal gift, please accept it." Wen Yunzhe is always carefree; his father doing this didn't surprise him.

"Jing Shu, hurry up and thank him." Geng Tianhua and Sun Xuehua, smiling broadly, urged their daughter.

Xiao Ming giving Jing Shu a gift meant he accepted her as his daughter-in-law, and this also gave them plenty of face as parents.

Geng Tianhua and his wife had actually prepared gifts for Wen Yunzhe's two sisters as well.

When Sun Xuehua presented them, the two sisters thanked her happily and accepted the gifts.

"Dad, let me see what you gave my future wife," Wen Yunzhe couldn't help his curiosity, taking the box from Jing Shu's hands and opening it.

Inside the box was actually a full set, all diamond-encrusted jewelry.

"How beautiful!" Jing Shu was so shocked her face changed color.

Seeing this, Geng Jing Shu's parents couldn't help but marvel in their hearts.

The servers nearby also saw it and were all drawn to that high-end diamond jewelry set.

"This set must cost at least two or three hundred thousand, right?" Sun Xuehua, Jing Shu's mother, looking at the jewelry Xiao Ming gave her daughter, felt her head buzz with its high value.

Including Wen Yunzhe, everyone was greatly shocked by Xiao Ming's move.

He knew Xiao Ming would surely give something to his future daughter-in-law, but he never expected him to give something so valuable.

Judging by its value, it should be comparable to the jewelry given to Wen Jingrou and Wen Yuchun.

"Uncle, this gift is too expensive; I cannot accept it."

Although her family's circumstances are ordinary, she is fairly knowledgeable and can tell this set would cost at least several million to acquire.

Owning such jewelry is something she never dared to dream of in her lifetime.

Good heavens!

Wen Yunzhe's father, just who the heck is he?

This move is also overly domineering.

Jing Shu was so startled she didn't know what to do with her hands and feet.

"Jing Shu, you are the person Yun Zhe has chosen; it's proper to give a betrothal gift on first meeting. This jewelry isn't valuable, I hope you like it." Xiao Ming pretended to be displeased, cooling his face: "If you don't accept it, Uncle will be unhappy."

"I..." Jing Shu looked at Wen Yunzhe, undecided.

"Jing Shu, just take it." Wen Yunzhe didn't think much; his father was so generous, seeming especially wealthy—money is meant to be spent, after all.

Seeing both Xiao Ming and Wen Yunzhe say that, Jing Shu hesitated a moment, then nodded: "Thank you, Uncle."

She already had a child, marrying Wen Yunzhe was a done deal; thinking this, her mind eased a little, she wasn't as nervous.

Seeing Jing Shu accept the gift, Xiao Ming laughed happily.

Soon, the dishes were all served.

The two families' conversation gradually opened up, and they chatted happily.

Meanwhile, Jing Shu's attention remained on the jewelry set Xiao Ming had given her.

After more than ten minutes, the shock in her heart gradually subsided.

She loved that jewelry set dearly.

Not only was it valuable, but it was also given by Wen Yunzhe's father.

Geng Tianhua, who was chatting happily with Xiao Ming nearby, found this visit truly shocking and continually surprising.

His family never dreamed that Wen Yunzhe's father would be so generous.

"Yun Zhe's father looks so wealthy, and generous to his daughter; it seems if she marries Yun Zhe she'll surely enjoy blessings—I can put my heart at ease." Geng Tianhua thought silently to himself.

Meanwhile, hearing from her daughter Jing Shu, Wen Yunzhe's maternal grandmother learned that Wen Yunzhe hated his own grandmother extremely.

Since his father's financial situation is decent, marrying Wen Yunzhe won't cause her daughter to suffer, so we can forget about his grandmother's side.

No longer needing to worry about his daughter's future, Geng Tianhua instantly felt light-hearted.

He chatted happily with Xiao Ming's open expression.

Wen Jingrou and Wen Yuchun, meanwhile, chatted with Jing Shu and her mother about family matters and gossip.

As they chatted, the dishes continued to be served.

Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, the Geng family were shocked again.

Even lobster and abalone were present.

Just looking at their appearance, one could tell how expensive they were.

"These dishes are really good." Under Xiao Ming's courteous greeting, the Geng parents picked up their chopsticks, took a bite, and were instantly overwhelmed by the delicious food.

"Wow, so tasty." Jing Shu's appetite was instantly stirred, and she also picked up her chopsticks.

"In-laws, their dishes are truly especially delicious." Geng Tianhua praised them without cease.

Not only the food, but the drinks were also top-notch fine wine.

"Dad, the food at this restaurant is really good." Wen Jingrou and Wen Yuchun, too, were captivated by the table full of delicious dishes, to the point they couldn't even speak.

"Daughter, actually the taste here is just so-so; our family's chef makes dishes even more delicious than this." Xiao Ming smiled lightly and whispered to the two sisters.

"Really?" The two sisters were extremely surprised.

"Yun Zhe, what does your father do?" Jing Shu, looking at the table full of dishes, roughly estimated the cost—at least over a hundred thousand—and thus shocked, she quietly asked Wen Yunzhe.

Wen Yunzhe, busy battling the food, replied with muffled speech: "Honey, I actually don't know what he does either, but it's clear he's very wealthy—just how wealthy, ……"

At the end, Wen Yunzhe shook his head, looking bewildered: "Just order whatever you want to eat; either way, Dad isn't short on money."

"Don't just eat; I just made a rough estimate—this meal alone will cost at least over a hundred thousand." Jing Shu suppressed her surprise and said solemnly.

"What?" Wen Yunzhe stared blankly.

A single meal costing over a hundred thousand would have covered their annual living expenses in the past.

He soon felt relieved.

His dad is so rich, willing to eat however he wants.

Then, he again continued to struggle with nothing.

This meal, the Geng family were continually shocked and delighted; one must admit, after this meal Xiao Ming invited, he completely won over the whole Geng family.

After the meal, both sides chatted for about half an hour, talking about trivial matters.

Only now, when thinking of meeting for the first time, talking about marriage etc., seems too purposeful.

Xiao Ming thought, first get to know each other, give the other some space to relax, then discuss their lifelong matter would be more appropriate.

Around ten o'clock, Geng Tianhua seemed to have gotten a bit tipsy from drinking.

The other party proposed to disperse the gathering; Xiao Ming hurriedly greeted driver Xiao Zhao, instructing him to send the Geng family home; Yun Zhe also followed to send his future wife.

……

Geng Tianhua got out of the Lincoln car, his drunken appearance seemed to have disappeared a lot.

"Tianhua, you, you're pretending?" his wife Sun Xuehua asked in surprise.

"Well, otherwise, if I stayed longer, I'd probably be shocked into fainting." Geng Tianhua said, laughing and crying.
