Chapter 124: Chapter 124 Meeting the Parents_1

Dugu Zixi asked them to rest in the lobby first, while he took their ID cards to check in.

The receptionist at the front desk blushed with excitement when she saw Dugu Zixi, a rarely seen handsome man, coming to handle the procedures, her voice becoming tender and coquettish.

Dugu Zixi frowned upon hearing this, and with a sternly handsome face handed over everyone’s ID cards and gave their previously booked room numbers.

When the receptionist heard that the rooms were reserved by the Dugu Family, including the presidential suite and an entire floor, she instantly perked up and no longer dared to flirt with Dugu Zixi.

These top-tier nobles of the Capital City circle were not ones they could afford to provoke.

Actually, such small matters as check-in procedures didn’t really need to be handled personally by Dugu Zixi.

But as he had anticipated, seeing Dugu Zixi running back and forth for them indeed won him a substantial amount of goodwill in the eyes of the Shen Family.

After arranging the accommodation for everyone, Dugu Zixi and Ye Ningning brought them to the most famous private kitchen restaurant in this large hotel and had a very rich lunch.

By the time they finished lunch, it was already past three in the afternoon.

Considering the distance, Dugu Zixi then took the Shen Family people to the nearby Ancient Imperial Palace, the Imperial Capital Grand Square, and the busiest commercial street in Capital City for a tour.

They continued until six in the evening, when Dugu Zixi and Ye Ningning led them back to the Dugu Family for dinner.

Hearing it was a family banquet for the two families to meet, Jiang Hua, Wu Haishan, and Gao Lingfeng said to Shen Tianxing, "Xiaoxing, we shouldn’t disturb your family banquet, so we won’t attend. We three will just walk around here."

Shen Tianxing urged them, "If there’s no problem, let’s go together!"

Wu Haishan shook his head, "Better not, it would be awkward for us to attend. We three will have more fun on our own."

Jiang Hua also spoke up, "Yes, Tianxing, you guys go ahead, we’ll have fun on our own, don’t worry about us."

Seeing they were unwilling to go, Shen Tianxing didn’t insist further, but reminded them, "Then go have fun, buy whatever you want and charge it to my account. Call me if you need anything."

Before inviting them to her engagement ceremony, Shen Tianxing had assured them with a pat on her chest that she would cover all expenses in Capital City.

Jiang Hua chuckled, "We have our own money, we don’t need yours. Just be happy yourself, don’t worry about us. We are three grown men, not so easily bullied."

Wu Haishan puffed up his chest, "Exactly, you just go ahead without worry! Hurry on now, they are calling you."

Shen Tianxing smiled helplessly, "Alright, just be safe, and remember, call me if anything comes up!"

Wu Haishan teased with a laugh, "Got it, little housekeeper."

As Shen Tianxing and the others got into the car, Jiang Hua, Wu Haishan, and Gao Lingfeng also discussed where to go and where to find delicious food.

Young people all have spirited hearts. Having come to Capital City, they wanted to enjoy playing and eating to the fullest.

Shen Tianxing, Dugu Zixi, and Ye Ningning led the Shen Family through several checkpoints and finally arrived at the Dugu Family’s home.

Informed of their arrival, the Dugu Family patriarch and matriarch, CEO Dugu Jun’an, along with the three daughters of the Dugu patriarch, their sons-in-law, and many grandchildren, all stood together at the entrance of the Dugu Family home, greeting their esteemed guests and future in-laws with a grand reception and impeccable etiquette.

The Shen Family members felt flattered and a little overwhelmed to be received so grandly by the founding general, the current CEO, and to see so many people attending to them with such thorough courtesy.

Old Master Shen extended both hands and firmly clasped hands with Old Master Dugu, saying energetically, "Old General, how could we let you and your wife come out to meet us? You and your wife are far too polite!"

Old Master Dugu laughed heartily, "It’s only right, it’s only right. You’ve come from afar, and have given us little Tianxing to be with our Zixi. No matter how much we do, it’s all we should do. Old Brother Shen, no need for any more polite words, I might get unhappy, you know..."

Hearing the old general put it that way, Old Master Shen also laughed cheerfully, "Alright, alright, I’ll say no more. In a while, I’ll toast a few more drinks to my dear brother, okay?"

Old Master Dugu laughed even louder, "Hahaha, that we can do! Let’s go, let’s go, let’s talk more inside, more inside..."

Everyone laughed as they entered the hall, with Old Master Dugu and his wife, Old Master Shen and his wife at the forefront, sitting together in a circle.

Zixi introduced the Shen family members to his three aunts and uncles.

Old Master Dugu and his wife had three daughters and one son in their lifetime.

The eldest daughter was Dugu Junmei, who married the diplomat Wang Xuyang and had a son Wang Yi and a daughter Wang Hong.

The second daughter was Dugu Junlan, who married the Supreme Court Chief Justice Du Qingming, and had two sons, Du Minghao and Du Minghong.

The youngest daughter was Dugu Junzhu, who married the army major general Cheng Weian and had only one daughter, Cheng Chen.

The eldest daughter, Dugu Junmei, now manages the Dugu family’s business enterprises, controlling the economic lifeline of the Dugu family and serving as the head of the family’s economic affairs.

She also owns a share in the Dugu family businesses, but is not the largest controlling shareholder.

The current majority shareholder is still the Dugu family’s old master.

The second daughter, Dugu Junlan, is a professor at Capital City University.

The youngest, Dugu Junzhu, works in the logistics department of the military, following her husband, the major general.

The three aunts also brought gifts to meet Tianxing, expressing their fondness for her.

Tianxing thanked them and presented her own gifts in return.

After both families had finished introducing themselves, Old Master Dugu waved his hand grandly, "Let’s go, it’s time to eat. We’ll eat, drink, and chat all together, hahaha..."

After a few steps, Old Master Dugu turned back and asked Tianxing, "Little Tianxing, do you still have that fine liquor? Shouldn’t you bring out a few jars today so we can all have a hearty drink?"

Only Tianxing’s fine liquor could be enjoyed without causing a headache, leaving the drinker feeling comfortable throughout, and even refreshed the next day. It wasn’t like the usual hard liquor which could make it impossible to get up the next morning if imbibed in excess.

Tianxing laughed, "Yes, yes, yes, I’ve got plenty!"

Tianxing had prepared several jars of liquor early that morning, placing them among the gifts to be brought along for the old master to enjoy.

At the old master’s words, she immediately called Zixi over to help carry all the jars of fine liquor they had brought.

Seeing this, Old Master Dugu burst into delighted laughter, "Good, good, good, we can have a nice drink today."

Old Madam Dugu, seeing his lush-like behavior, said with a face full of disdain, "Look at you, acting as if you haven’t had a drink in eight hundred years. Aren’t you ashamed?"

Everyone burst into laughter once more...
