Chapter 221: Meeting Your Daughter-in -Law
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
There did not seem to be as many people at the Undersea World on Saturday as they had imagined.
This was Nan Gel s most immediate feeling as she walked into the compound.
Moreover, she realized that some passersby’s gazes seemed to linger on her for a long time.
Nan Ge lowered her head and secretly sized up her clothes. There was nothing wrong with them.
Under the coat was a high-end milk-white dress. This dress arrived this month and it was her first time wearing it. There was nothing wrong with it, right?
Because it was her birthday, her outfit today was indeed a little more high-profile than usual, but it was not so exaggerated that it attracted the attention of passers-by.
Nan Ge was a little narcissistic, but she was not as self-absorbed as Nan Zhe usually was. She certainly did not think that she was the most beautiful woman on earth.
“Is there something wrong with my clothes today?” She could not help but tug at Shen Yanqing’s sleeve.
In comparison, Shen Yanqing was dressed much more formally than her!
Why were they all looking at her?
Wasn’t there an even more dazzling person beside her?!
“No problem.” Afraid that his casual answer would be too perfunctory, Shen Yanqing stopped in his tracks and carefully sized her up. He evaluated her outfit seriously. It was suitable for Nan Ge in terms of combination and style.
“It’s beautiful.”
“It’s not too much, right?” Nan Ge asked again.
Other than being a little expensive, her outfit was not ostentatious at all.
Shen Yanqing nodded in agreement. “It’s very suitable for the place.”
Nan Ge knew that he would not lie. With his words, she was relieved.
As for her makeup, she had seriously looked at herself in the mirror for five minutes when she got out of the car, so there would not be any problems.
She did not know if it was her imagination, but after a while, no one seemed to notice her. Some passers-by would even avoid her gaze in a hurry.
In short, the tourists here were all strange.
Fortunately, Nan Ge ls attention was attracted by the scenery in the venue and she completely ignored the existence of passersby.
At the same time, in Jiang City.
Nan Zhe woke up very late. His parents kept urging him to eat breakfast, but he was neither fast nor slow. He took small sips of coffee calmly.
He remembered that Mr. and Mrs. Nan almost fought with him.
By the time Nan Zhe finished changing and getting ready, it was already noon.
After getting into the car, Mrs. Nan looked at the time and angrily poked Nan
Zhe’s hair which had just been blown dry. “Look, look. Look at the time!”
“Hey! What’s the hurry? Isn’t he only proposing tonight?” Everything was under Nan Zhe’s control. If they set off now, it would only be about two in the afternoon when they arrived in Huai City.
Shen Yanqing was expected to propose at around five o’clock. There were still three hours left, so it was more than enough.
However, Mr. and Mrs. Nan did not think so.
The older generation and the younger generation had completely different concepts of time.
They would rather set off early and wait than arrive on time.
“It’s not like you’re proposing. Look at how you’re dressed. You’re so
flamboyant that you look like a peacock,” Mrs. Nan complained.
Nan Zhe turned around and looked at his mother in the backseat. He raised his eyebrows. “Aren’t you the same? You’ve even quietly put on your big jade.”
Mrs. Nan raised her hand and slapped him. Nan Zhe dodged with a smile. On the way, Nan Zhe received Qi Yan’s message.
Nan Zhe wanted to bring Qi Yan over today and asked for her opinion in advance.
Qi Yan thought for a moment and agreed.
After all, she and Nan Ge hit it off quite well and had been in contact.
She was filming overseas yesterday and had yet to get on the plane.
Qi Yan: [I’ll land around three o’clock. Where is the location? I’ll go over directly.]
Nan Zhe typed with his free hand: [No need. Send me your flight information.
I’ll pick you up at Huai City Airport directly. The time is just right.]
Qi Yan was probably boarding the plane and only replied after a while.
Because it was still early for the proposal, Mrs. Nan decided to rest at the hotel near the venue for a while.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yanqing was already prepared and booked the hotel in the park.
As soon as they entered Huai City, Mrs. Nan praised Shen Yanqing’s meticulousness as she turned on the GPS.
“Huh? Where are you driving to?” It was in the opposite direction of the aquarium. Why was he driving further and further away?
Mrs. Nan thought that Nan Zhe had driven the wrong way, but Nan Zhe suddenly said, “Going to the airport to pick up your daughter-in-law first.’ Mrs. Nan raised her head in astonishment.
Mr. Nan, who was looking down at his phone, was also stunned. He turned to look at his son in disbelief.
The couple’s expressions were the same at this moment.
Both of them were equally surprised.
Since when did they have a daughter-in-law?
They did have a son-in-law… As for a daughter-in-law…
They only had one son, Nan Zhe, right?
After the couple briefly doubted their lives, Mrs. Nan quickly sat forward and tried to approach Nan Zhe. Her tone could not hide the trembling in her voice.
“What daughter-in-law? Is it the one from before?”
The couple knew that Nan Zhe was unable to get the girl.
Although they did not know who the girl was, they knew that Nan Zhe was definitely serious.
Of course, not long ago, they also knew that Nan Zhe was dating, but the couple did not dare to ask. They had been pretending not to know.
They had asked Nan Ge in private, but Nan Ge did not reveal who she was. She only said that she was a very good girl.
The couple had always wanted to meet this girl, but they had never had the chance.
Because they knew that Nan Zhe and the other party had just gotten together, they did not dare to meet the other party too abruptly.
Unexpectedly, Nan Zhe was finally willing to let them see that girl.
“Uh huh.” It was just a word, but Mr. Nan and Mrs. Nan could hear Nan Zhe’s smugness.
“Quick, tell Dad and Mom about that girl. Your father and I don’t know anything yet. If we suddenly meet, what if we say the wrong things?”
Nan Zhe thought that it made sense. He had to make things clear to his parents and ensure that they would not say anything that would embarrass Qi Yan later, even though he knew that his parents did not mean it.
“Her family used to be from Jiang City. She was my junior high school classmate. Her father was a leader in Jiang City back then. Later, something happened to him because of corruption and bribery. She and her mother moved to the north and lived in the northeast. Later, her father got released and joined them there. Her family is currently living there.”
“This…” Mr. Nan was stunned.
Corruption…
Mrs. Nan was also stunned. After a long while, she replied, “It’s fine. Her father’s problem has nothing to do with the kid. She is still a good kid.”
However, this news had a huge impact on them.
Mr. Nan calmed down and nodded. “Yes.”
The past generation was at fault and they could not put the blame on the girl. There was nothing wrong with this girl.
Seeing that his parents had convinced each other so quickly, Nan Zhe chuckled. He looked away from the rearview mirror and said in a relaxed tone, “But there was more to it and her father was framed.”
“However, this matter seemed to have been quickly suppressed back then. I got someone to investigate, but there wasn’t much news..”
