Chapter 332: 235. 30 years late meeting_3

Park Jinyoung stood in front of Liu Zhengjiang and spoke very seriously.

To him, this younger brother was extremely grateful that his sister had met such an excellent man.

At that time, he was barely in his early twenties and acted without considering the consequences.

It was only after sending his sister onto the ship that he suddenly realized how much trouble his actions would bring her.

But by then it was too late to think about it, as the ship had already left... even if he cried his heart out, it wouldn’t have helped.

Fortunately, Park Jinsuk didn’t encounter any bad people; in fact, not only did she not encounter bad people, but she also met a man willing to trust and accept her.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that this is a story that only happens in novels or movies.

For this alone, Park Jinyoung was extremely grateful to his brother-in-law.

He opened his arms, ready to kneel down.

For a Goryeo person, it’s not too much to perform such a ceremony of gratitude.

But for a Chinese person like Liu Zhengjiang, this was still too shocking.

During the New Year, Bae Juhyun had done something similar, but she was his son’s girlfriend, so it was just a bow.

But now, it was his brother-in-law, and someone not much younger than him, a middle-aged man over fifty...

"Hey, no need, no need, we Chinese don’t have so many rules. Just have a few more drinks with me tonight!"

Liu Zhengjiang hurriedly held up Park Jinyoung, who was about to kneel, and said quickly.

Then, he glanced at his wife, signaling Park Jinsuk not to just stand there and quickly say something.

Park Jinsuk finally put away her playful mood and joined in persuading her brother.

"Enough, you’re making your brother-in-law very uncomfortable. Follow the Chinese customs, just drink a few more."

"Alright! We won’t leave until we’re drunk. Xin’an... don’t worry, today’s a gathering for the adults. If you need to leave early, it’s fine."

Park Jinyoung looked at Liu Xin’an, thought for a few seconds, and decided not to pressure his nephew.

Young people are usually busy and may not enjoy the kind of drinking parties older folks do.

Not forcing Liu Xin’an to drink with them was a relief for him, especially since he had a lot of work to handle, including a near-due special gift for a 100-day anniversary.

He wasn’t the kind of person who liked to procrastinate. If he couldn’t get the gift ready within the week, he would feel uneasy.

"I might need to head back tonight, got quite a bit of work to do..."

"Work, what work?" Park Jinsuk asked curiously.

Liu Xin’an remained silent, pondering whether to tell the truth. But the lighthearted voice of his father made him smile helplessly.

"He’s busy preparing a gift for his girlfriend."

"Dad!"

"A gift... ah! Irene’s birthday is coming up, right?"

"Uncle, you even remember that?"

Liu Xin’an was shocked. Though his uncle was an entertainment company CEO, remembering all the TWICE members’ birthdays made sense, but Bae Juhyun’s birthday too?

Park Jinyoung chuckled and affectionately wrapped an arm around his nephew’s shoulders, "Hey, that’s my niece-in-law, how could I not care?"

That reason was good enough. Liu Xin’an quickly nodded, a smile spreading across his face.

This kind of teasing didn’t make him uncomfortable.

"What are you planning to give Irene?"

"A handmade ornament, more of a heartfelt gesture."

"Tsk, if a man is going to give a woman something..."

"Ahem." Aunt suddenly coughed, making Park Jinyoung shrink his neck. He gave Liu Xin’an a polite but not embarrassed smile, patting his shoulder.

"Alright, you’ll figure it out yourself."

"???"

---

It was easy for two old foxes to hit it off once the initial tension faded away.

Especially after the initial nervousness wore off, Liu Zhengjiang gradually regained his natural state, his immovable aura catching Park Jinyoung’s attention.

But these things didn’t matter to Liu Xin’an. The previous generation could entertain themselves; he just needed to finish eating and leave.

The gift wasn’t done yet!

Considering he had to drive, none of the elders insisted on making him drink, so Liu Xin’an could naturally get into the car, put on his headphones, and call his girlfriend first.

Bae Juhyun had been waiting for this call ever since she returned to the dorm. The moment the phone rang, she quickly picked up.

"Hello! How was it? Did Uncle meet with Uncle?"

Liu Xin’an hummed an affirmation, full of curiosity because he noticed something interesting.

"How come you can naturally call him ’Uncle’ in front of me, but refer to him as ’Senior Park Jinyoung’ in front of my dad?"

"...Hey! Is that important?"

"Of course, shouldn’t you call my dad ’Dad’ too?"

"Hey!!"

Bae Juhyun on the other end of the phone was all flustered. She had indeed wanted to call Liu Xin’an’s parents "Mom and Dad," but how could she...

Only Park Jinyoung had told her not to be too nervous, just call him "Uncle" along with Liu Xin’an.

But Liu Xin’an’s parents hadn’t said anything like that to her.

Without their approval, how could she dare to say it?

"Uncle and Aunt haven’t agreed... how dare I say it?" After her outburst, Bae Juhyun’s voice became cautious.

"Uh... how did they not agree? Didn’t they give you money during the New Year?"

"...Ah?"

Bae Juhyun was dumbfounded. She had indeed received New Year’s money from Liu Xin’an’s parents, but wasn’t that just the traditional New Year’s gift money?

Before coming here, she had specifically researched Chinese New Year customs and knew it was common to give New Year’s money.

How was that money related to what she called them?
