Chopin's "Butterfly" etude was quickly pressed down by long and powerful knuckles. In front of the white grand piano in the side hall, the tall and beautiful girl, Miss Chen, the daughter of the boss of the mansion Chen, was very energetic.
She showed her energy during the Chopin International Piano Competition. She never missed a note or skipped a beat. She really treated the entire side hall as a concert scene. The distinguished guests and her family on the sofa were her most stringent judges today.
The black and white keys rise and fall, the hammers hit the strings quickly, the notes rise and fall, from steady to climax, and finally end in a rush. Drenched in sweat, Ms. Chen withdrew her hands to collect the last note and turned around, just as she was thinking about the big family behind her.
While she was praising her and saying some humble words, she found that none of the guests in the entire side hall paid attention to her!
This made Miss Chen a little stunned. She couldn't help but follow the Su family to the door of the side hall, and immediately saw the boy holding the cake standing at the door.
She was stunned for a moment, but it was only for a moment. Can she be said to be a piano practitioner who can play Flight of the Bumblebee three times faster? Her reaction was faster than anyone else! She stood up and faced him first!
"Are you sending a cake? I'll go." Miss Chen walked quickly to the boy with a polite smile and took the cake box for him.
When she got closer, she couldn't help but take a few more glances at the boy who delivered the cake. Her eyes were dazzled by his appearance. She couldn't help but praise him in her heart. He was indeed her father. The delivery boy who delivered the cake was so good.
Carefully selected, the guy who delivered the cake was so good-looking that even she was attracted by it.
But unfortunately now is not the time to flirt with a man. Miss Chen took the cake and was about to turn around. Unexpectedly, the handsome boy in front of her actually stepped up and walked into the side hall! He was so fast that even she didn't react and had already passed her.
Jumped past.
She just wanted to reach out to catch this rash boy, but a hand from behind the door quietly grabbed her wrist and squeezed it gently. After such a delay, the boy had already walked into the side hall.
Miss Chen subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but when she looked back, she suddenly realized that the person grabbing her wrist was her father. Boss Chen was standing outside the door with sweat almost dripping from his forehead. His face was tense and twitching, and he was shaking her daughter.
wink.
As expected of a biological father and daughter, Miss Chen knew with one look that she almost got into trouble. Her chest and abdomen were slightly bulging due to inhalation, and she turned to look at the back of the white T-shirt who had already walked into the side hall.
The boy who looks ridiculously handsome but is dressed no differently than a delivery boy is the one that Mr. Su and his family have been waiting for half an hour?
"Go quickly." Boss Chen moved his lips slightly and whispered to his daughter, "Let's see what the route is."
Miss Chen understood what she was thinking, readjusted her facial expressions and posture, put on a flawless social smile, turned around and walked towards the side hall carrying the cake. In just a moment, she immediately changed from the person who received the cake to the person who delivered the cake, as if
She is just like the girl who delivers food.
"Here comes the cake." Miss Chen placed the cake on the marble coffee table in the side hall and quietly looked at Mr. Su and Mr. Su's wife who had stood up from the sofa at some point. She had just played a Chopin competition.
Even the award-winning etudes failed to make the whole family stand up and applaud. As soon as this unknown boy came in, they all stood up to greet him. Could it be that he was his prospective son-in-law? That shouldn't be the case!
"Are you Lin Nian?" Today, Su's father was wearing a gray business casual suit and dark-colored trousers that were pressed straight. It was obvious that he was an elegant and wise man despite his age. He was the first to stand.
He stood up and walked towards Lin Nian with a smile, stretched out his hand and shook it, "My Xiaoqiang mentions you every day, and this is the first time we finally meet!"
Lin Nian looked at this middle-aged man who was 45.6 years old and still didn't look old. He immediately reached out and shook his hand, "Hello, uncle."
After he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Su Xiaoqiang standing behind Mama Su, who was wearing a pink chiffon shirt and a blue plaid skirt. It seemed that Mama Su's outfit was matched by Su Xiaoqiang himself. The brisk and bright outfit matched his daughter's.
Standing together, we have indeed lost a lot of age. People who are over forty actually look like young women in their thirties.
"I'm sorry for being late. I originally bought a cake and was going to come here, but I encountered some things that needed to be dealt with on the way and it delayed me for a while." You still have to apologize, even if it's the ace of the executive department, Cassel College.
'S'-level people also have to bow their heads in front of their uncles and aunts. This is purely a matter of etiquette.
"It's okay, it's only half an hour. My Xiaoqiang just told me dozens of times that your matter is very important. She asked me not to say a word about you for as long as I came, or else she would fall out with me, hahahaha."
Father Su seemed to have a very cheerful personality, and he was worthy of being a mine boss. He had no ulterior motives at all, and just revealed the fun things he had done before. The price was that Su Xiaoqiang went behind him to hide and poke him in the waist.
.
"Is the matter settled?" Su Xiaoqiang only poked her head out after Su's father begged for mercy. She wore a seaside glass blue breathable top with a big bow collar and a low-saturated bright dark blue mid-length skirt. At first glance, she looked like she had ordered the latest style from New York Fashion Magazine.
, the overall look is beautiful and mature.
"This time, I actually took the initiative to invite you, Xiaonian. Is it okay for me to call you that?" Su's mother spoke, and Su's father shut up as soon as he opened his mouth. The status of the family was obvious.
"It's okay, you can call me whatever you want, auntie," Lin Nian said.
"The key is that I have always wanted to know which boy kidnapped my Xiaoqiang's heart. When her father was discussing business in Germany, he kept talking about flying back to teach you a lesson, but he couldn't bear to leave our family.
Xiaoqiang." Su's mother said with a smile, "Don't blame me for talking too much, I'd better ask one more question, have you already confirmed your relationship? This time I asked Xiaoqiang to invite you mainly just to confirm and feel at ease."
"Yes." Lin Nian nodded slightly, trying his best to smile. This is what my elder sister strictly reminded him when he went out. Always smile at the people who may become your future parents-in-law.
.
"When did it start?" Su's mother glanced at her daughter, whose cheeks were a little red, and asked teasingly.
"During the first half of the semester, there were some minor problems in the school, but we overcame them, and then we got together naturally." Lin Nian explained eloquently.
"Yes, yes, only emotions that have tests and experiences can go further. I'm afraid that you guys just confirmed the relationship on impulse. And if I remember well, you are also old classmates. Your name, I have been in this relationship for several years."
Qian Xiaoqiang has been listening to it every day since he was in high school."
"Mom!" Su Xiaoqiang lost her temper and glanced at Miss Chen who was holding a cake and pretending to be a wooden figure not far away. Miss Chen immediately looked at her nose, nose and heart and said that she didn't know or hear anything.
"Then what stage are you at?" Su's mother continued to ask with a smile.
"Hmm" Even Lin Nian was a little stunned now.
"mom!"
"The kitchen has started firing, and the appetizers will be ready in five minutes. You can come to the main hall to dine after you sit down for a while. I'll prepare it first." Boss Chen walked in at the right time and arranged with a smile.
"Okay, okay, Xiao Chen, you can go and do your work first. My family is happy today, and more food will be enough!" Boss Su waved his hand grandly, showing his original style as a mine boss.
When Boss Chen left, he winked at his daughter and asked him to stay and observe the situation. He had to have someone to control the situation when he went to work in the back.
Miss Chen understood the situation and pushed her way to the piano to sit down. From the corner of her eye, she quietly paid attention to the situation on the other side of the sofa. Her white and smart ears stood up. At this time, she was almost certain that Lin Nian was really the "quick son-in-law" of Mr. Su's family.
"She was half an hour late. She had played a few chapters of Chopin and her hands were soft before this guy came. Mr. Su and his family didn't even have the slightest intention of complaining!
What kind of perfect parents-in-law are these? Can she have such in-laws in the future?
Is there a possibility that the problem lies not with the parents-in-law’s good temper, but with the son-in-law?
Miss Chen quietly looked at Lin Nian, trying to see some of the luster of a wealthy husband in this boy, but unfortunately, all she saw was a boy whom she once mistakenly thought was a delivery boy.
It was nothing more than underestimating Lin Nian's appearance. On the contrary, Ms. Chen already recognized the boy's appearance the first moment they met. It is no exaggeration to say that this little brother, who was wearing a white T-shirt and was several years younger than her, had a lot of trouble in terms of appearance.
Even in her entire life of handsome men, he would rank among the top three!
But unfortunately, having been influenced by Boss Chen’s mate selection standards since childhood, Ms. Chen is no longer the pure-looking dog who only relied on looks. In the world of girls, the truly qualified or even excellent mate selection standards must be for a boy.
According to the overall scoring percentage standard, a boy's appearance can only account for 30% in her mind, and the remaining 70% is accounted for by family background, education, hobbies and personality.
Highest.
The family background of the former determines the consumption concept when dating. It is impossible for Miss Chen to want to go to Disneyland during the summer vacation to release her childlike innocence. You, the boyfriend, can't even afford an exclusive tour guide, right? Let Miss Chen spend her summer vacation in Disneyland.
Even if a girl can tolerate the crowds, if Boss Chen finds out, he will go to Disneyland and kick you away.
The cultural level of the latter determines the conversation and knowledge. It does not mean that people with low cultural level are uncultivated, but most people with poor cultural level will not be highly educated; conversely, people with high cultural level may not necessarily be well-educated.
But it is also a small part, and in terms of probability, the larger case should be considered.
From Lin Nian's current situation, he definitely has a perfect score for appearance. There is no clue about his personality and hobbies for the time being, so I won't talk about it. Let's just look at this white-haired man from the perspective of family background, which accounts for the largest proportion.
The T-shirt and jeans must have been bought at the "Last Three Days Sale" stall on the street, right? They are definitely the kind of bargains that can be discounted by more than ten percentage points at a fixed price.
It's so pitiful that in Miss Chen's house, the outdated Burberry cashmere shawls can only be used as bedding for her ragdoll cats. It's not that I look down on civilian clothes, but it's just too perfunctory to wear such clothes to meet my future parents-in-law.
?If she meets her parents in the future, she will probably have to plow the room where clothes are kept.
"Could it be that there are hidden rich people?" Ms. Chen was startled. With the popularity of online novels, rich people now deliberately avoid those plots that are often criticized by writers who hate the rich online.
According to the recent trend of wealthy second-generation people, the richer they are, the more they dress up. There are Aventadors and Lafas parked in the garage at home. They all want to go out and wear slippers and hair ties on their wrists. The more they pretend to be poor, the more they pretend to be in the circle.
The more you can gain the respect of others, the more you want to feel like showing off your skills in front of a young lady inadvertently. Nowadays, the protagonists of online novels secretly praise themselves in this way!
Now in Miss Chen's eyes, Lin Nian has become such a low-key rich second generation. But is it too much to pretend like this in front of his future parents-in-law? Are you just waiting for your parents-in-law to give you five million to get out?
My daughter's life, and then took out the keys to a supercar and shook it three times?
But Ms. Chen’s suspicion was shattered immediately after the next conversation.
"Where do you live now, Xiaonian? Do your parents know that you are coming to see us today? How about we two families pick a day to meet?" Su's mother asked cheerfully.
I'm coming!
Lin Nian had no reaction yet. He pretended to touch the piano cover and clean it up in front of the piano in the distance. In fact, Miss Chen, who was monitoring the conversation, her face changed quietly. As a woman, how could she not smell the deep meaning in this sentence? The dinner had not started yet, and the parents-in-law
The offensive has already been formed.
According to Ms. Chen's excellent reading comprehension, this sentence must be to use the knowledge of her parents to spy on her son-in-law's family situation! The very high-ranking drunkard does not care about drinking, and his speaking skills are more straightforward: "Do you have? Are you there?"
You know how?" I don't know how high it is! This superb art of questioning is simply a required course for every mother-in-law!
Now that I asked about his family background, it seems that my previous estimate was wrong. This boy should be the secret lover of the eldest lady of the Su family. Recently, his parents suddenly found out and forced him to come to the meeting for evaluation!
Ms. Chen's intense mental activity immediately analyzed a huge amount of information from Mother Su's simple words. All her previous guesses were overturned and she began to try to use Lin Nian's answers to predict the direction of the next family dinner.
"Um, haven't I been staying at your aunt's house?" Lin Nian replied subconsciously.
"?" Miss Chen, who was eavesdropping now, couldn't stand it anymore, and her brain shut down for a while.
"Is this happening?" Su's mother also looked stunned and looked at Su's father.
"Um, don't look at me. How do I know? We have been together before." Su's father was also stunned for a moment.
"That's it, Xiaonian, Xiaoqiang's father and I just returned to China yesterday. You said you lived in our house." Su's mother's expression changed slightly, and her pupils trembled.
They knew that their daughter was very open with the people she liked, but they didn't expect that they would actually live together! Although they had been prepared when they heard that their daughter had a boyfriend, this moment exceeded their expectations!
Su's father and Su's mother suddenly felt at a loss, feeling that their cabbage had been pierced.
"Wait a minute, Xiaonian, I have bought a lot of real estate in recent years, including the house in the CBD where we came back yesterday. Which one are you specifically talking about?" Su's father asked immediately, and at the same time he had some expectations in his heart.
.
"The single-family villa over at Phoenix Pavilion." Lin Nian answered honestly. "The house I rented when I went to school was demolished. Xiaoqiang said that her house was quite big and asked me to live there for a while, so I went.
.”
Su's father's mentality suddenly collapsed.
He and Su's mother quietly looked at each other at the single-family villa in Phoenix Pavilion. Isn't that the school district house they bought specially for Su Xiaoqiang's school convenience?
The expressions of the two elders were very wonderful, but due to the situation, they suppressed their rich emotions. But Miss Chen, who was eavesdropping, couldn't hold back. Fortunately, her back was to the hall, and the horror on her beautiful face was
He was so surprised that he looked like an artistic portrait of Van Gogh, and this was not a wealthy husband, but a special version of the daughter-in-law’s daughter-in-law!
"The appetizers are ready, please move on." Boss Chen walked in from the front door and said, but immediately felt that the atmosphere seemed a bit strange, "Uh, are you okay, everyone?"
"It's okay, let's go to the restaurant and chat while we eat." Su's father said, staring at Lin Nian with a strange look on his face.
"" Lin Nian could only glance at Su Xiaoqiang for help, but found that Su Xiaoqiang had already quietly walked out, covering one cheek.
"I'll bring you the cake." Miss Chen cleverly put down the piano cover, picked up the cake on the marble coffee table, and followed Su Xiaoqiang in small steps. She couldn't wait to see the ultimate showdown at tonight's dinner.
