Chapter 415 Meeting Of The In-Laws II

************

CHAPTER 415

"You did not deny that the young lad occupied your heart and mind and even your–"

"Grandpa!" Bai Renxiang gently pinched his arm.

She could not even bring herself to look at the eyes of her in-laws or even Li Fengjin. Her face was flushed and thanks to her hair they were not able to see much of her blushing self.

"What?" Old man Jiang asked innocently.

"You– Sigh... Have you seen, mum and dad?" She changed the topic.

"I have. It's obvious, isn't it?"

"I mean have you guys talked? It must have been long since you have seen each other. So why don't you catch up with them while I take Jin for a quick tour around the house, hmm?"

"Alright."

"Besides, mum is on her way. The main purpose of their visit will be discussed when mum is here. So, if you will excuse me, grandpa, dad, mum."

"Of course, child. You and your husband are excused," Mrs Li teased again.

Bai Renxiang pulled Li Fengjin's hand and together they scurried away from the teasing elders. Meanwhile, the elders in question were watching them leave.

"She is such a sweet child."

"My son and our family are lucky to have her," Mr Li added.

"She is my precious pearl, Mr and Mrs Li. So I hope when she enters your family, she would be treated more than she was when she was with me and her mother," Old man Juang said.

"You can bet on that, Mr Jiang. Your daughter would leave well in our family and gets the treatment even Queens did not get. Our son is already making sure of that," Mr Li's words were assuring Old man Jiang that he sighed in relief.

"You know my granddaughter's life has not been easy before she came to this city," Old man Jiang started.

"Since she would probably be leaving us to stay in City X with her husband, I just wanted you both to know... Renxiang once had a pretty bad scandal. It was one that the so rich frowns upon."

"Oh, Mr Jiang! If that is what you are worried about then your worry ends here... I and my husband already know about it but we accepted her into our family still," Mrs Li spoke.

Old man Jiang was quite surprised to hear that.

"I am sorry to have gone deeper. But we know that our daughter-in-law is as pure and innocent as a lamb," Mr Li stated.

"Yes, yes." Mrs Li nodded. "In fact, even if we both had refused, our son had made it very clear to me that we had no say in his love life. His mind has been crossed and made."

"He told you that?" Mr Li asked.

"He did. You should have seen him when he spoke. There was this determination and love in his eyes that I have never seen before... Our son had been a grown man for a long time, Zhe."

"And it was Renxiang who brought that side out of him. She really is the one for our son. Hahaha. Your granddaughter is our daughter Mr Jiang." Mr Li let out a small laugh.

"I would treat her way better than her father did and could not," he added.

"I'm grateful. My granddaughter can receive the warmth of a father who loves her. Sigh... I can die in peace," Old man Jiang smiled.

"You are not dying, dad." Jiang Meilin sounded from the entrance of the living room.

"Mei, my dear dau–"

"You can't die and leave me so you better drop that silly talk or you'll get it from me," Jiang Meilin glared at him.

"I didn't say anything."

"Better not say a word," she turned to the couple who were going to be her in-laws soon. "Mr Li, it is nice meeting you."

"Likewise," Mr Li shook hands with Jiang Meilin. "I see where our daughter-in-law got her beauty from."

"Oh, you jest, Mr Li. Hahaha... Ming, nice to see you again," the ladies hugged each other.

"It is nice. Have you been faring well lately?"

"Oh, yes I have. I'm sorry I'm late. I had to make sure things were okay at the grocery store before I came," Jiang Meilin apologised. "Where are our children?" She looked around and asked.

"They are touring the mansion," Old man Jiang answered and took a sip of the tea in the cup.

"Now that you are here, Mei... We would like to process with the proper meeting of the in-laws," Mrs Li said.

"Really? I thought there was no need for that."

"By all means, it is needed. We must give our daughter-in-law a proper marriage," Mr Li stated.

"Sigh... If you say so then. Let's proceed."

After a few talks, Bai Renxiang and Li Fengjin were chanced to join them in between. Li Fengjin sat with his parents while Bai Renxiang sat with hers.

Soon enough, different wrapped gifts were brought into the living room. They kept coming till there was a heap of them.

Bai Renxiang even lost count of the number of wrapped gifts that were brought in. She looked over to Li Fengjin and saw him smiling as he was saying, 'this is just the beginning.'

"These are the gifts the Li family has prepared for the betrothal of our children," Mr Li said.

"There are more on the way though. Special herbal tea, jades, jewellery, beddings, herbs for the good health of the womb and a baby and so many more," Mrs Li listed all that she could remember.

"Herbs for the good health of the womb?" Bai Renxiang could not help but ask.

"Yes, my dear. You said so yourself that you still want kids. So those herbs will be good for your womb and when you are pregnant too," Mes Li explained cheerfully.

Bai Renxiang blushed as all eyes now fell on her.

"It is good that you are certain to give me more great-grandchildren."
