"Mom, we're back!"

Wang Erhai brought Liu Mei Qi into the shabby cottage.

Seeing Wang Erhai's home like this, Liu Mei Qi couldn't help but frown slightly.

Obviously she hadn't expected that Wang Erhai, a big boss, would have a home so run-down.

She also didn't know this was just a place where the Wang family temporarily lived.

The Wang family's new building was still under construction; once it was finished, they would move into the new house.

"Erhai, you're back! Come in quickly, I just finished dinner, and I was wondering whether to call and ask where you were, but I didn't expect you to be back so soon!"

Li Xiulan came forward with a smile to welcome them.

Wang Zhanggen continued sitting in front of the dining table, only glancing over from afar.

"Mom, this is my partner, Liu Mei Qi!"

Wang Erhai hurriedly introduced his partner to his mother.

Then he introduced Liu Mei Qi:

"This is my mom, that's my dad!"

"Good evening, Auntie!" Liu Mei Qi greeted politely, then greeted Wang Zhanggen sitting at the dining table, "Good evening, Uncle!"

"Give the things you bought to my mom and dad!"

Wang Erhai urged, and Liu Mei Qi hurriedly handed over the things she was carrying:

"Auntie, these two are for you!"

Then she handed the cigarettes, alcohol, and tea to Wang Zhanggen:

"Uncle, these are for you!"

Wang Zhanggen accepted the gifts, and his pulled face eased a little.

Previously Wang Erhai suddenly said he wanted to hold the wedding banquet on New Year's Day, which made him somewhat angry, because Wang Erhai hadn't even brought his partner back for him, as a father, to vet, and had actually acted on his own initiative; this obviously showed a bit of disrespect toward him as a father.

But now seeing Liu Mei Qi was very beautiful, and also well-mannered, and most importantly she had no air of the demimonde, looking plain and natural, at first glance she was the type suitable for married life.

So he wasn't so resistant anymore.

Li Xiulan received the gifts, so happy she couldn't close her mouth:

"Just come, why bring gifts! In the future, you two save your own money; there will be many places to spend money when you get married and have children!"

Wang Erhai said with a smile:

"Mom, you don't know, Mei Qi ran all over the county town today to buy gifts for you and Dad, carefully selecting these gifts! The jade bracelet and pendant she bought for you are very valuable, and the pendant has been consecrated! The tea she bought for Dad costs several thousand yuan per jin!"

Wang Erhai was just talking out of his hat; even Liu Mei Qi beside him was inwardly surprised by what he said.

"Wow! So expensive! That costs too much money! You two really, don't buy such expensive things next time!"

Li Xiulan looked surprised.

Liu Mei Qi smiled politely:

"Auntie, isn't this the first time I've come to see you and Uncle? I didn't know what you and Uncle like, so I just bought some things, merely as a token of my feelings!"

"You child, you're thoughtful!" Li Xiulan looked at Liu Mei Qi and felt more and more satisfied.

Wang Zhanggen heard that the tea for him cost several thousand yuan per jin, and also showed a satisfied expression, and began to take the initiative:

"Come sit down and eat quickly, otherwise the dishes will get cold!"

Li Xiulan saw Wang Zhanggen's change in attitude, and inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

Before Wang Erhai and Liu Mei Qi came back, Wang Zhanggen's face had been dark.

He had been nagging that Wang Erhai didn't respect him as a father, and also said Wang Erhai was stupid, and the woman he found definitely wasn't anything good.

Li Xiulan had originally been worried that the father and son would argue over this matter.

Unexpectedly, under Wang Erhai's maneuvering, the matter took a turn.

Liu Mei Qi made a good first impression on both Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan, and Wang Zhanggen changed from originally being dissatisfied to being very satisfied.

He even felt that this girl Liu Mei Qi was somewhat better than Du Xiaojuan.

Du Xiaojuan was also beautiful, but Du Xiaojuan was obviously more domineering than Liu Mei Qi.

Liu Mei Qi looked gentle and virtuous, the kind very suitable to be a wife.

It can only be said that Wang Zhanggen had no insight in his whole life.

In the past he often misjudged people and matters, and now that he was old he still hadn't improved, still consistently misjudging.

But this couldn't be blamed on him.

It can only be said that Wang Erhai understood his parents too well.

He knew that if Liu Mei Qi wore seductive makeup, his parents definitely wouldn't like her, so he firmly required Liu Mei Qi to remove her makeup and come see his parents with a plain face.

Many people have an unwritten understanding, thinking that girls who don't like makeup and dressing up are more suitable for married life than girls who do.

But they don't know that those who wear makeup can remove it and then come see you.

First impressions are often misled by advance preparation tailored to please.

A good girl isn't necessarily a good girl.

"You two really decided to hold the banquet on New Year's Day?"

During the meal, Li Xiulan asked this, and she also said:

"Marriage is a big thing; you all must think it over carefully!"

Wang Erhai lowered his head and ate his meal:

"I've already thought it over, Mom. You don't need to worry about us; we have our own plans."

Li Xiulan then cautiously asked Liu Mei Qi:

"Mei Qi, don't you think this is a bit rushed?"

"Auntie, I think holding the banquet on New Year's Day is just right; it's not rushed."

"Have you told your parents about this matter?" Li Xiulan asked cautiously again.

"I'll take Erhai back home for a visit soon; they will definitely agree. After all, Erhai is so outstanding—how could they possibly have any reason to disagree?"

Liu Mei Qi said these words, looking as if she was very confident she could handle her parents.

"That's good, that's good..." Li Xiulan nodded.

At this moment, Wang Zhanggen, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly asked a question:

"Mei Qi, are you pregnant?"

Wang Zhanggen's question was rather abrupt.

But it was also understandable.

Because based on his understanding, he felt that unless Liu Mei Qi was pregnant, there was no way they would be in such a hurry to get married.

"Not yet."

Liu Mei Qi's answer immediately left Wang Zhanggen's face full of confusion.

Wang Erhai hurriedly said:

"Dad, rest assured. After we get married, we will start preparing for pregnancy right away, and I guarantee you and Mom will soon be holding your grandson!"

Wang Erhai spoke boastfully and with great conviction.

"This is what you said yourself; don't go back on your word after getting married!" Wang Zhanggen showed a rare smile.

He had long been hoping to hold a grandson.

Originally, he had hoped Wang Dashan and Du Xiaojuan would give him a grandson.

Unexpectedly, he didn't get one from that pair, but instead got one from Wang Erhai and Liu Mei Qi first.

"It's good that you're like this. Otherwise, like your eldest brother, they've been dating for several years and keep dragging it on, and who knows when they'll ever get married!"

Li Xiulan said this.

Wang Zhanggen snorted coldly: "Hmph, I think for them, getting married will be difficult. They might even break up in the end. Du Xiaojuan is a shrewd woman; when she came to our house before, she found fault with everything about our family's conditions!"

Li Xiulan muttered instead:

"Aren't they quite good? Not long ago, when we went to Beijing to visit Xiao Hua, they accompanied and took care of us all the way!"

"That's because she saw our Dashan's business was doing well, so she came to curry favor with us!" Wang Zhanggen said decisively, as if it were really the case.

Liu Mei Qi didn't understand, and her heart was full of curiosity.

"Don't guess wildly about Big Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law's relationship, okay?" Wang Erhai couldn't stand it anymore. "Big Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law are doing fine, and Eldest Sister-in-law isn't after anything from Big Brother. She earns much more than Big Brother!"

Wang Zhanggen said instead:

"What use is it for a woman to earn so much money? The most important thing is to hurry up and get married and have children. Having more children is what matters most!"

Seeing Wang Zhanggen like this, Liu Mei Qi showed a bitter smile on her face.

She couldn't help but feel some fear in her heart.

She thought to herself: After marrying Wang Erhai, surely she wouldn't become a child-bearing machine for the Wang Family, right?

If that were really the case, she would hesitate a bit.
