Chapter 803: Chapter 793: A Man Driven by Pride

The next morning, Shen Yi and Su Qing started packing. Actually, there wasn’t much to pack, mainly some clothes of Shen Yi and the gifts Su Qing prepared for his mother-in-law and father-in-law.

Can’t deny, they were quite heavy.

At eleven in the morning, Shen Yi called the driver to take them to the airport to catch their flight.

Can’t deny, even though it’s not May Day yet, the passenger flow has already started to surge, especially in a place like the capital.

The airport lobby was jammed with people, but luckily they bought first-class tickets, and fortunately Shen Yi had prepared in advance, otherwise, whether they could go back was uncertain.

"Does this thing work? Though my family doesn’t lack such things, but... I’ve never seen anyone use this for gifting, you’d be better off buying a couple of scratch-offs!"

On the plane, Shen Yi was still grumbling, thinking that the gifts Su Qing chose were somewhat unreliable, while the gifts she had selected for her first visit were quite standard.

They might have been a bit tacky, but at least there was no mistake, yet the things Su Qing picked gave off an unreliable vibe at first sight.

"Trust me, really. Of course, I bought these gifts based on my mom’s suggestion. They’re expensive, exquisite, and functional. They might even become an heirloom in your family someday!"

Faced with Shen Yi’s skepticism, Su Qing seemed quite confident because yesterday, he stumbled upon a new use for a commentary, and was amazed by it.

If he had known about this use earlier, why would he bother with stocks? He might even put movie investments on hold. Even with a hit like "Wandering Earth," the profit was just over two billion, too troublesome.

So he decided that after this trip, he would start accumulating wealth madly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi looked at him with disdain and said, "Forget it, heirlooms aren’t valued based on price. Besides, my family doesn’t have the thing, if they wanted it, why not just buy a ready-made one? No need to gamble like this."

"Trust me, I’m not a gambler, I am... okay, I am a gambler, but I am definitely blessed with luck!" declared Su Qing confidently.

To this, Shen Yi rolled her eyes and turned away, mumbling, "Anyway, it’s your gift for the visit. I’ve passed my test, if you fail yours, that’s your problem, I won’t help you! And don’t even think about relying on me!"

Can’t deny Aunt Shen is somewhat unreasonable. Yesterday, she refused to help when asked, and today, she criticizes the gifts he bought. Are women really this hard to deal with?

Moreover, he’s a post-oo generation, it’s the first gift a post-2000s person brings to their future father-in-law, why so cliché? New people, new luck!

’Hoo~~~’

With the plane taking off, the scenery quickly retreated, the ground became smaller, soaring through the skies. In over two hours, they arrived at Anhai City.

The transportation now is so advanced, you can reach anywhere in the country within hours with a search.

After getting off the plane, Su Qing pushed the suitcase with one hand, and held Shen Yi’s hand with the other, exiting the airport.

Anhai City, a county-level city in the southern region.

Though it’s a county-level city, it truly has an airport, but it’s much simpler compared to the airports in the capital or Jiang City.

If you didn’t know, you’d think it’s a bus station.

"Wow, the temperature in your hometown is kind of odd, so hot?"

As soon as he got off the plane, Su Qing felt a difference in temperature compared to Jiang City and the capital.

It’s muggy, with a kind of humid feeling. If the northern heat is like a sauna room, the southern heat is like a steam room, mainly due to the difference in air humidity.

"You’ll get used to it. I did tell you to change your clothes, but you didn’t listen."

"No worries, what’s a little difficulty? Quick, take me to your local tobacco and alcohol market, I’ll complete the gifts, and then we can head to your house together!" Su Qing said enthusiastically.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi was a bit surprised, "Are you not nervous?"

"Joke, why would I be nervous? My future father-in-law should be the one nervous. I’m here today to tell him, I want that ’cabbage’ from your family, not only do I want it, I want to take the whole pot!"

Listening to his grand claims, Shen Yi smirked. Who doesn’t know how to boast? Besides, wouldn’t she know his personality?

Very soon, Shen Yi led Su Qing to a local tobacco and alcohol market to complete the gifts, and even bought a batch of fruit, filling both hands, before taking a cab directly home.

"Hey? Why do you have so much sweat on your forehead? Are you nervous?" In the car, Shen Yi looked at the fine sweat on his forehead and couldn’t help but laugh, quite delighted.

"Ho... how could that be, it’s the heat, your hometown’s temperature is too high!" Su Qing retorted stubbornly.

But before Shen Yi could speak, the old man driving wasn’t having it, "Young man, I’ve already turned on the air conditioning, the car’s temperature is at most in the twenties, it’s impossible to be hot, you aren’t feeling weak are you? Young people should take care of their health!"

Shen Yi: o(*≧▽≦)ツ┏━┓

"Pfft!! Hahaha!!"

Su Qing: →_→

"Thank you very much, old man!"

That old man here is really annoying, talking like that makes me lose face, you know?

"Don’t worry, my parents are easygoing, they don’t bite!"

Sitting in the back seat, Shen Yi patted his shoulder with a smile, remembering early last month when she visited Su Qing’s home, he comforted her the same way. Now the situation is completely reversed.

"I am not!"

"No, you are!"

"I definitely am not!"

"Wipe your sweat and then talk!"

While they bantered in the car, inside a small standalone villa in Anhai City, Shen’s dad and mom were anxiously waiting. Today, their daughter was bringing her boyfriend home for the first time, they’d been waiting for this for years, how could they not be anxious?

Shen’s mom occasionally stood in the first-floor hallway, looking somewhat restless.

"Dad, didn’t you say they landed already? Why haven’t they arrived yet?"

"Look at you being all flustered, it’s just a pesky kid coming over, whether he makes it or not, he has to pass my test first," Shen Tiancheng said sternly.

At this moment, Shen Tiancheng, was dressed in a neat suit, wearing a watch, leather shoes, even a tie, his hair perfectly combed, and wearing glasses, exuding authority.

If it weren’t for the air conditioning at home, he would have been unbearably hot.

Upon hearing this, Shen’s mom glared at her husband and retorted, "I warn you, Shen, put away your intimidation tactics, if you scare my son-in-law away, you’ll deal with me, for goodness’ sake, we’re grown adults, still pulling this nonsense!"

Shen’s mom had dressed up a little today as well, though only by changing into new clothes and cleaning the house, that’s all.

Compared to her husband’s formality, she was very welcoming to Su Qing. Finally, her cabbage was being sent away, joyful!

If it was any later, she’d fear it would rot at home.

While speaking, a taxi stopped at the villa’s entrance, and soon two young people got out of the car.

"They’re here, they’re here, Dad, come out quickly!"

She called out to him, then hurriedly welcomed them.

"I’m not going, I’m the elder, how could I personally greet them!" Shen Tiancheng declared.

But his body was honest as he followed along, just keeping a certain distance behind Shen’s mom.

"Dad and Mom, your daughter is back!"

Returning home, Shen Yi instantly seemed to become a little girl again.

"Go on, move aside!" But to her surprise, Shen’s mom pushed her daughter aside and turned with a smile to Su Qing, "You must be little Su?"

"Y...yes, Auntie, I...my name is Su Qing, hello!" Su Qing swallowed nervously, holding a pile of things, feeling a bit lost.

"Hey hey, good child, good child, you said you’d come, why bring things? Dad, quick, help with the things!" With that, Shen’s mom pulled Su Qing inside.

Only when reaching Shen’s dad, did Shen Yi speak up from the side:

"Lad, this is my dad!"

Upon hearing this, Su Qing wanted to greet him but immediately had to look up, yes, to look up, Shen’s dad was at least five centimeters taller than him, and his whole physique was so solid and sturdy.

It left him baffled, Shen Yi had once said her dad was 178cm and skinny, but now looking, it was nothing like he imagined!

"Un...uncle, hello, I am Su Qing!" Su Qing quickly bowed slightly, admitting that he was boasting earlier and was indeed quite nervous.

Seeing this, Shen Yi couldn’t help but slap her forehead, "Dad~~ aren’t you old enough to ditch those extra ten centimeters of height boosters, aren’t you afraid of spraining your ankle?"

Su Qing: ???

Really, your family also has a man who must strive to be strong?
