Chapter 149: The first day I met my parents-in-law, I became a wealthy woman
That night, Su Xiaoxiao and Ji Xingyuan went to the Ji family's old house to visit her parents-in-law for the first time.
The Ji family's old house is a lush and elegant courtyard.
The garden is spacious, with lush green trees, clusters of flowers, and an elegant artificial lake and freehand pavilions and bridges that are as beautiful as a poem or painting.
Although he grew up in a wealthy villa area, the environment of the Jiangnanli community where he lives now is also very elegant and unique.
But when she walked into the Ji family's old house, Su Xiaoxiao still felt that her eyes had been opened.
"Hubby, your old house is so big. I doubt I'll get lost without someone to lead the way."
"Silly boy, I'll show you around tonight so you don't get lost. By the way, this isn't my old house, it's our old house. Honey, remember not to say it wrong next time."
"Oh, I know."
After hearing Ji Xingyuan's warm reminder, Su Xiaoxiao's nervousness about meeting her in-laws eased a little.
Ji Xingyuan's grandmother and parents were already waiting in the hall.
After the two of them walked in hand in hand, Su Xiaoxiao followed Ji Xingyuan and called out respectfully but slightly shyly, "Grandma, Dad, Mom."
Grandma Ji Xingyuan is over eighty years old, with elegant silver hair and a face full of wrinkles from time.
But she has a kind face and looks like an approachable old lady.
My father, Ji Yutang, is sixty years old. He wears glasses, is gentle and has the temperament of a Confucian businessman.
My mother, Bai Yazhi, is plump, gentle and elegant, with well-maintained skin. She is a wealthy wife who understands life and has a good attitude.
When the three of them saw Su Xiaoxiao, their granddaughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, they all looked happy and enthusiastic.
"Hey, Xiaoxiao, you finally made it into our Ji family. Come and sit next to grandma!"
"Yes, grandma."
Su Xiaoxiao then sat next to the old lady. The old lady held her hand affectionately, looked her over carefully, and praised her for her beauty.
After the family sat together and chatted for a while, they talked about the wedding gift.
At the old lady's signal, the housekeeper and several servants lined up in a grand manner and displayed all the betrothal gifts.
There are boxes of expensive and dazzling jade jewelry, boxes of golden bars, a pile of real estate deeds, stock funds, bank cards, etc.
Only Su Xiaoxiao couldn't think of it, there was nothing the Ji family couldn't come up with.
"Xiaoxiao, these betrothal gifts are our Ji family's sincerity in marrying you. You must accept them."
"Grandma, A Yuan and I have already obtained our marriage certificate. We really don't need any of this."
Su Xiaoxiao was dazzled by these betrothal gifts.
She and Ji Xingyuan had never talked about this before because they thought it was vulgar. Besides, they were together because of love, not for these material things.
However, when elders talk about marriage, it is ultimately a mundane matter.
No matter what family it is, it is inevitable.
Bai Yazhi also continued, "Xiaoxiao, although you and Xingyuan have already obtained the marriage certificate, as elders, we still have to prepare the betrothal gifts. Just listen to grandma, you must accept these betrothal gifts."
"Yes, Xiaoxiao, just listen to grandma and your mother." Ji Yutang also advised casually.
"Wife, this is a gift from grandma and my parents. You should follow the local customs and don't refuse it."
"Well... okay, thank you grandma, thank you mom and dad."
Unable to refuse such a kind offer, Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to accept the betrothal gifts.
However, she is not good at and has no interest in taking care of these things.
Then she whispered to Ji Xingyuan, "Hubby, I don't like taking care of these things. You take care of them."
"I see. I think my wife doesn't dislike taking care of it, but is just too lazy to do it." Ji Xingyuan whispered jokingly in a doting tone.
On the first day of meeting her in-laws, she suddenly became a wealthy woman.
Although this was not the scene Su Xiaoxiao had expected, the recognition and enthusiasm of the Ji family elders made her feel more secure and at ease about integrating into the Ji family.
In addition to these three elders, the Ji family also has some family members scattered around the world who have not returned.
Bai Yazhi told her that on the day of their wedding, all members of the Ji family would come back from all corners of the world and would then introduce themselves to her one by one.
After discussing the betrothal gift, the family walked to the restaurant to have dinner, chatting and laughing.
Su Xiaoxiao had already tasted the cooking skills of the Ji family chef in the nutritious lunch that the servants delivered to the hospital every day.
This time, she sat at the Ji family's dining table in person, looking at many familiar dishes and smelling the familiar aroma of the dishes. She suddenly felt a strong sense of intimacy and home.
She suddenly became suspicious. Ji Xingyuan asked the servants to deliver lunch to her in the hospital every day, probably not just to provide her with nutrition so that she could eat better.
Maybe it was also to make her get used to and like the taste of Shang Ji's house.
I have to say, he succeeded.
She had indeed gotten used to and liked the food of the Ji family. The first time she dined with the elders of the Ji family, she unconsciously felt less restrained.
At the dinner table, they asked about her work at the hospital and the Gu family.
She can talk to everyone freely and gracefully.
After having a sumptuous and warm dinner with them, Ji Xingyuan took her to the garden to help digest the food.
The moonlight in the night sky of March is like water.
There are only a few scattered and tiny stars, making the deep blue sky look somewhat mysterious.
The two of them strolled hand in hand to a small, quiet artificial lake in the garden.
There are rows of willow trees planted by the lake. When the evening breeze blows, the slender willow branches sway gently in the wind, creating a tender and romantic beauty.
It adds a lot of color to the night and the lake.
"Wife, go sit over there."
"Ah."
There was a long bamboo chair by the lake. The two walked over and sat together, leaning against each other.
In a bustling metropolis like Haicheng, there is such a quiet place.
Looking at the quiet and beautiful lake in front of her, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help feeling a little emotional. The Ji family really knew how to live.
"Wife, this is your first time meeting your parents-in-law. Are you satisfied with them?"
"Hate it! How rude of you to ask such a question." Su Xiaoxiao said with a look of delight, "You should ask whether my parents are satisfied with me as their daughter-in-law."
"Why do you need to ask this? My husband already knows that they are very satisfied with you."
"Really? Then they must be very happy with you as their son. I'm just taking advantage of you."
Hearing Su Xiaoxiao say this, Ji Xingyuan lowered his head and kissed her lips.
She said lovingly, "Silly boy, it seems you don't know yourself well enough. They like you not only because you are their daughter-in-law, but also because, their daughter-in-law is you."
"Because I'm your daughter-in-law? What does that mean?"
"My wife, guess for yourself..."
"Well……"
The night is gentle and the moonlight is lingering.
The two of them sat on the long bamboo chair by the lake, whispering and flirting for a while, then hugged and kissed each other passionately.
Humming and intoxicated with the leisurely evening breeze.
Su Xiaoxiao completely forgot that tonight was her first time visiting Ji's house.
