Chapter 898: Chapter 895: Is This also Considered Meeting the Parents?
The next morning, Yan Bo’s biological clock dutifully woke him up at six o’clock.
Although he hadn’t been truly drunk last night, he did drink a fair amount, which was an undeniable fact. After taking a cold shower, he went to bed slightly tipsy and, despite the unfamiliar environment, managed to sleep through the night without a dream until dawn.
Seeing his refreshed appearance in the bathroom mirror, Yan Bo raised his eyebrows and licked his lips as he reminisced about the wonderful experience from the previous evening.
If possible, he truly wished that he could take their relationship further sooner rather than later, preferably even build a little love nest together.
However, thinking about Tong Elder’s deliberate difficulties and the dark expression on his face afterward, Yan Bo knew that such a wonderful moment, for now, was only suitable to be a dream to pursue. To make it a reality was going to be difficult!
Besides, even if he got past Tong Elder, there was also a big problem with his own family.
Thinking of this, Yan Bo’s good mood started to slip slightly.
Perhaps, he should find a time to bring her back to Capital City?
Or maybe, first introduce her to his elder brother and let him drop some hints gradually?
Yan Bo was never one to sit idly by. Whatever he did, he would actively face it, trying as much as possible to take the lead and be proactive.
To be honest, although he had rebelliously chosen the business path, his relationship with his family had always been strong. Even if his dad sometimes put obstacles in his way, they were within his capacity to solve and never really hurt the father-son relationship.
And Tong Xiaohua was the woman he loved. His family probably wouldn’t have objections to Tong Xiaohua herself, but her background...
From the moment he decided to pursue her, Yan Bo had already anticipated these possible obstacles in his heart. It’s just that at that time, he thought that the pursuit might take a very long time.
But now, with her parents openly acknowledging him, it was natural for him to give Tong Xiaohua a legitimate status in front of his own family.
With such a plan in mind, while having breakfast, Yan Bo braved the unfriendly gaze of Elder Tong and asked him.
"Uncle Tong, do you and Auntie have time this Saturday?"
Elder Tong gave him a quick glance and lifted his eyelids, "What’s up?"
His tone was still that strange one, clearly still miffed about last night’s incident.
"My elder brother is coming this Saturday. I was thinking of having him come pay a visit to you and Auntie."
Although it somewhat implied a meeting between the parents of both sides, Yan Yuan, as Yan Bo’s elder brother, was still the younger generation to Elder Tong and his wife. Thus, Yan Bo tactfully put it as letting his elder brother come to pay respect to Elder Tong.
Not only were Auntie and Xiao Hua surprised, but even Elder Tong was somewhat astonished.
"Your elder brother?"
"Yes, my brother works in the neighboring city. Would that be convenient for you?"
Elder Tong naturally knew that Yan Bo’s elder brother was a Secretary in another city.
Hearing Yan Bo make such a request, the way Elder Tong looked at him changed from being critical to a more profound inquiry.
It seemed that Yan Bo was even more reliable than Elder Tong had thought.
He had assumed that Yan Bo would take a considerable amount of time before bringing his precious daughter to the Yan Family.
Of course, a part of his concern was for that very reason.
Tong Xiaohua was his precious daughter, and he was unsure how she would be treated in a rich family like the Yan household, whether she might face discrimination or exclusion.
However, looking at the current situation, it seemed that Yan Bo wouldn’t let his precious daughter suffer.
Besides, with Yan Bo’s capabilities and tactics, it wouldn’t take many years for his influence in L City to reach an untouchable height. The views of the Yan Family in the Capital City, in truth, wouldn’t matter much for his precious daughter.
Of course, if those seemingly high and mighty people from the Yan Family could treat my daughter well, that would be perfect.
"Fine, you determine the time and place, and we’ll go meet then," he said.
Since Yan Bo was so eager to bring his daughter into his family circle, even if he felt uncomfortable about it, as a father he couldn’t let his own discontent get in the way of his daughter’s happiness.
Tong Xiaohua’s father nodded in agreement, which was within Yan Bo’s expectations.
However, it was beyond Tong Xiaohua’s expectations.
"Dad..."
To her father, Yan Bo was the younger generation, but to her, he was the brother of her lover, and it is often said that the eldest brother is like a father. In her eyes, Yan Bo was synonymous with a parent.
So, when she heard her father had agreed to the meeting, she felt a chill in her heart.
She had only just started her relationship with Yan Bo; surely it was too soon to be meeting the parents?
Without waiting for her father to say anything, Yan Bo gave her a reassuring smile.
"Xiao Hua, my older brother is not bad, he’s quite easy to get along with."
So, whether Tong Xiaohua, the person concerned, wanted to or not, the meeting was thus set.
Tong Xiaohua’s mother really appreciated Yan Bo’s decisive and responsible behavior, and after Yan Bo had finished breakfast and excused himself, she specially brought this up with Tong Xiaohua’s father.
"Yun Xiang, you indeed have a good eye. Despite his young age, Xiao Yan is mature and thoughtful. If Xiaohua can really end up with him, we can rest assured," she said.
Tong Xiaohua was not a delicate princess; on the contrary, she was actually quite strong-willed.
But in front of her parents, even the strongest-willed person is just a girl who needs to be doted on and loved.
Tong Xiaohua’s father actually agreed with his wife’s words, but his pride didn’t allow him to express it openly, nor was he willing to speak in favor of Yan Bo, so he merely grunted through his nose.
Tong Xiaohua’s mother knew his thoughts like the back of her hand. Seeing his reaction, she did not call him out but just smiled knowingly, stood up, and went to knock on her daughter’s bedroom door.
"Xiao Hua, mom seems to have lost some weight recently, could you help me pick out the clothes I’ll wear the day after tomorrow?"
The day after tomorrow was Saturday.
Clearly, Tong Xiaohua’s mother was referring to the clothes to wear for their visit to the Yan brothers.
Tong Xiaohua’s father sat in the living room, grinding his teeth fiercely.
"It’s just meeting a young lad, is there a need to be so nervous?"
Tong Xiaohua’s mother turned to him and smiled, "I don’t want to let Xiaohua lose face, and besides, looking at Xiao Yan’s manner, it seems likely that his older brother must also be a dragon and phoenix among people."
As for Yan Bo’s background, Tong Xiaohua’s mother knew even less than Tong Xiaohua did.
She only knew he was a sea-turtle from overseas, who had brought a substantial amount of money to L City to invest and start a business.
Of course, she also knew that he came from a family with official connections, but she was unaware that he was a child of the old Yan Family in Capital City.
Tong Xiaohua’s father said nothing; he didn’t know how his wife would react if he revealed all of Yan Bo’s background.
At this moment, Tong Xiaohua’s father felt increasingly moody.
Logically speaking, he himself had played a part in facilitating the relationship between Yan Bo and his daughter.
And when he did facilitate it, a major reason was that he felt that even if he were gone, a man like Yan Bo would be able to protect his daughter.
