Love Exposed, Parents' Consent

Father Yan and Mother Yan rushed home and interrogated Yan Shu.

"Shushu, Wang Ziwen said that you're getting engaged on New Year's Day. Is this news fake or real?"

Yan Shu looked at her parents and was silent for a moment.

Just this morning, she and Bo Su talked about their arrangements for New Year's Day. Bo Su also suggested a meeting for all their relatives and friends on both sides. After discussing it together, they decided to have an engagement banquet instead.

Yan Shu told Father and Mother Yan everything. "Father, Mother, I'm with Bo Su."

Father Yan and Mother Yan looked at each other in dismay. Father Yan looked vexed. "I knew that brat, Bo Su, was harboring designs on you. I tried my best to guard against him, but I failed. This brat is too scheming. He kidnapped my daughter under my watch."

Mrs. Yan, on the other hand, felt extremely dissatisfied. "How can you be with Bo Su? Other than being good-looking, what other qualities does that kid have? I heard from Hai Chen that Bo Su is a sales consultant. His salary is low and his workload is heavy. It will be difficult for him to take care of his family. Shushu, if you choose him, you might end up constantly worrying about money."

Yan Shu smiled and said, "Bo Su has a car and a house. His house is in the city center. It's a garden bungalow. His car is a Mercedes-Benz that costs 800,000 yuan. Although he's not extremely wealthy, he has enough. Besides, he treats me well."

Mrs. Yan was very dissatisfied. "No. This Bo Su is far too inferior to Hai Chen. I don't agree with your relationship."

Yan Shu said, "Mother, although Bo Su's educational qualifications are not as high as Hai Chen's, he is a reliable man. The last time you suffered a heart attack, it was Bo Su who helped you contact Professor Jason. As for our family's house purchase, Bo Su helped us a lot. I think such a responsible husband is suitable for me."

Father Yan sighed. "Honey, Shushu is not young anymore. If she meets a suitable man, let her marry him."

Perhaps considering that it was not easy for an old single woman to get married, Father and Mother Yan reluctantly compromised.

Mrs. Yan immediately said to Yan Shu, "Since you're dating Bo Su, give him a call and ask him to come over for a reunion meal with us. I have to observe him a few more times before you get married."

Yan Shu was stunned.

Her parents still did not know about her marriage with Bo Su. It seemed that she had to think about it at length.

Yan Shu nodded happily. "Okay."

When Bo Su received a call from Yan Shu inviting him to her house as a guest, he was very happy and nervous.

After hanging up the phone, he called in his assistants and asked shamelessly, "What gifts should you bring to your in-law's house?"

The employees looked at each other. Since when did the CEO seek their advice?

"CEO, in my opinion, there must be good wine. After getting your Father-in-law drunk, he will agree to marry his daughter to you."

Another employee tried to brown-nose him. "What are you talking about? The CEO is so outstanding, how can any father-in-law not like him?"

"CEO, actually, if you go empty-handed, your father-in-law's family will still welcome you happily. However, if you want to please them, you have to find out what they like. You can give your mother-in-law jewelry and bags, and your father-in-law, wine and tea."

Bo Su sneered. "Who said anything about gifting my father-in-law?"

The employees chuckled.

In the afternoon, Bo Su left the office early.

There was no such thing as an impenetrable wall. Somehow, the news of Bo Su choosing a gift for his father-in-law quickly reached the ears of the chairman's secretary.

The secretary directly reported to the chairman, "Chairman, it seems that the CEO is in love. Today, he gathered the married employees to find out how to please his father-in-law."

The chairman looked bewildered.

"Is that true?"

Many of his sons have achieved success in their careers but got lost in worldly pleasures. Among his grandchildren, those who were good at studying found it difficult to adapt to the cutthroat business world, while those who were good at business behaved like playboys.

Bai Lancheng was the only exception. Although he didn't have an impressive educational background, he was still a graduate of the top Polytechnic University in the country. Due to the early loss of his mother, he started to hone his skills in society right after graduating from college. In the end, he became a person most resembling him—a business elite dedicated to his career, pure in character, with a cold and proud demeanor.

As he had high hopes for Bai Lancheng, the chairman was afraid that there might be lapses in his judgment. So he instructed his trusted secretary to keep an eye on Bai Lancheng's every move.

Bai Lancheng's marriage was his top-most worry. As the saying goes, a good wife will bring prosperity to three generations. He was worried about Bai Lancheng's taste in women, so it was his wish for his son to marry a socialite from an aristocratic family that he had arranged for him.

Unexpectedly, Bai Lancheng already had someone in mind.

"I want all the information on the girl," the chairman instructed excitedly.

The secretary said, "The CEO is very protective of her. If we approach her rashly, I'm afraid we might arouse his suspicions."

The chairman said, "No matter what, you have to get the girl's information discreetly. The Bai family is not a place where any woman can marry into."

"Yes," the secretary said respectfully.

At the Huanhua Fragrance Villa.

It was Bo Su's first time visiting the Yan family as their son-in-law-to-be. The back of the car was filled with expensive gifts.

Yan Shu and Mrs. Yan came to pick him up personally. On the way, Mrs. Yan tried to judge Bo Su based on her own assumptions. She started making speculations about him. "Shushu, since Bo Su is your boyfriend, he will become half a son of the Yan Family. Your father and I are old and need to rely on him in many ways. Don't remind him later. I want to see if he cares for the elderly. They say that you can see a person's heart through the details, so I'll observe him closely."

Yan Shu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

When they arrived at the parking lot, Bo Su had just parked his car. Yan Shu jogged over with a smile. "Bo Su."

Bo Su did not see Mrs. Yan. He reached out naturally and pinched Yan Shu's cheeks before saying softly, "Shushu, I bought some gifts for our parents. Help me carry some of the bags."

When Mrs. Yan heard this, her face darkened. "Why is this man asking for her daughter's help to carry just a few bags?

But when Bo Su opened the trunk and revealed the pile of gifts, Mrs. Yan couldn't wait to swallow her words.

"Bo Su, why did you buy so many things?" Yan Shu exclaimed in surprise.

Bo Su smiled and said, "I went to the mall in the afternoon and saw some clothes and bags that suit you. I bought all of these because I couldn't stop myself."

"That must have cost a lot of money." Yan Shu's heart ached for Bo Su's wallet.

Bo Su said dotingly, "The money I earned is meant to be spent on you. Who else can I spend it on?"

Mrs. Yan immediately beamed with joy.

This son-in-law was so good to her daughter. As a mother, she instantly took a liking to him.

Mrs. Yan walked towards them with a smile.
