Chapter 414 Meeting Of The In-Laws

CHAPTER 414

"Oh no, son. We are going to meet Mr Jiang at once. We need to do things right, remember?

Mrs Li said.

"Oh, that. Let's all go then. My love, call mum. Tell her to get ready that my driver will come and take her to Mr Jiang," he told Bai Renxiang.

"Right now? Won't you rest first before going to meet grandma?" Bai Renxiang asked.

"Nope. We did not follow tradition since and we should have. It is time for the in-laws to officially meet," Mr Li said.

"Well, alright then. Let's go. My purse and phone are in the car. I will call her when we are inside."

After Li Fengjin gave the orders to the guards standing with them, he got into the car and drove his family out of the airport.

~In the Jiang mansion~

You say Charlie was shocked when he opened the door of the huge mansion would be an understatement. He just stood there staring.

'What am I seeing? Mr Li and his wife, young miss and young master Li as well as little master Xiaojin... What are all of them doing here?' Charlie thought.

"Ahem! Charlie, I think this is the part where you welcome us in," Bai Renxiang said out loud to break him from his shock.

"Pardon? Ah... Y-Yes... Uhm, Mr and Mrs Li... What a lovely uh, surprise. I'm sorry for my poor manners. Pl-Please, do come in," Charlie stuttered and step aside pulling the door wide apart.

"Thank you, young gentleman," Mr Li smiled before entering with his wife by his side.

"Young miss, what is going on?" Charlie whispered and bowed his head at Li Fengjin.

"A meeting... Where is grandpa?" Bai Renxjang questioned back.

"Elder master is in his room. He wanted to lay down for a bit. Ah, yes. Let me go and call him. Please, everyone, have a seat in the living room. Excuse me," Charlie bowed one last time before rushing to the flight of stairs to inform old man Jiang of the Li family's arrival as well as his granddaughter and great-grandson.

"Mum, dad, Jun. Would you all like a cup of tea? I will go and make some while we wait for grandpa to come downstairs," Bai Renxiang asked.

"If it does not displease or inconvenience you. Fengjin, go and help her with the tea," Mrs Li flicked her wrist at him.

"Yes, sweetheart."

The young couple left to the kitchen leaving them with Xiaojin as they waited. They took in the interior of the mansion.

It was luxurious as it should be with the white painted walls and a touch of maroon. The couches, the curtains, and the rails on the stairs were all maroon-coloured with a little touch of gold intricate designs to them.

There were expensive beautiful paintings on the wall showing how the owner of the mansion loved to collect them. Beautifully designed flower vases with beautiful flowers were at specific corners of the big living room giving the mansion a secret scent of nature and warmth.

"I like the mansion. It is rather elegant and beautiful. Don't you think so, Zhe?" Med Li asked as her eyes continued to wonder.

"It is. Sigh... Look at how happy they were together," Mr Li sighed.

Mrs Li followed his line of sight and saw him looking at the biggest frame on the white walls. In the frame was a picture of both old man Jiang and his wife. It was their wedding picture.

Their smiles could shame the sun as they were so bright and filled with raw emotions of love. Below the picture frame was a Marion mahogany table that had several small picture frames on it.

Every one of them showed how they free older together. Mr and Mrs Li stood up and went closer to see the pictures.

"Mrs Jiang was quite a charmer wasn't she?" Mrs Li voiced out her question.

"Oh, yes she was," they heard a voice behind them.

"Mr Jiang!"

"It is good to see my old friends again. How have you been, Li Tingzhe?" Old man Jiang asked as she stepped towards them with his walking stick in one hand and the other behind his back.

"I have been well, Mr Jiang. It really has been a long time since we last saw each other."

The men welcomed each other with a friendly hug, patting each other gently on the back.

"It is good to see that you are not getting older, Li Tingzhe. You can't get old when your wife is still as young as when you both got married," Old man Jiang teased.

"Hahaha. You flatter me, Mr Jiang," Mrs Li smiled genuinely at his comment.

"My wife would not even allow me to get older. She will deal with me if I do."

"She has the right to. Come, come. Let us a seat while we char, shall we?"

"Yes."

"Charlie, go and make that special tea for our guest."

"No, need for that grandpa. I and Jin already prepared the special tea," Bai Renxiang walked in with Li Fengjin carrying a tray of five cups of tea and a cup of warm milk.

"Ah! My precious pearl. Tsk... It seems that you forgot about this old grandfather of yours for your young future husband, huh?" Old man Jiang clicked his tongue.

Bai Renxiang blushed. "Grandpa, you know that I did not forget you. We spoke two days ago, didn't we?"

"Two days ago? Look at how long that is. You allowed this young lad to occupy your heart and mind for two days before you remembered me, your grandpa. How cruel," Old man Jiang sulked.

Bai Renxiang sighed helplessly to hide her embarrassment. "Alright. I'm sorry, grandpa. I should have called and come to visit earlier. Will you forgive me?"

"I forgive you. But it is only because you did not deny the fact that the young lad occupied your heart and mind and–"
