70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 240: Meeting the Parents

"Xu Mumu agreed to you?" Huo Qingze raised an eyebrow. Just this? What’s there to be happy about? This guy is probably a fool.

"That’s right." Yin Yang said with a cheerful smile.

"What are you looking for, making such a racket digging around here?" Huo Qingze gave Yin Yang a sidelong look.

"I’m looking for a book I put away earlier. Can’t sleep, so I thought I’d read a bit." Yin Yang replied with a smile.

"Don’t you have a lot of books in your room?" Huo Qingze looked at Yin Yang incredulously.

"It’s not the same. Those are books I brought with me when I first came, but later forgot about." Yin Yang shook his head, looking a bit troubled. There were too many books in his room, and he’d forgotten where he put them.

"Keep it down. I’m going back to sleep." Huo Qingze glanced at the busy Yin Yang and couldn’t be bothered with him anymore. It’s just a girlfriend, nothing to make a fuss about. With his conditions, finding a partner should be a piece of cake.

Returning to his room, truth be told, Huo Qingze did feel a bit envious.

Since becoming a Zhiqing, aside from working every day and occasionally sneaking in some leisure, he spent the rest of his time scheming against his family.

Life was indeed dull, and he’d started thinking that, being no longer young, he should start looking for a partner.

If he didn’t, after he returned home, his stepmother would definitely try to meddle in his marriage. Although he wouldn’t let them succeed, he was tired of dealing with them.

Therefore, the best solution was to find a suitable partner before returning.

Finding a girl he liked would be too difficult. It was better to find someone with a bit of background and a strong personality; otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to deal with his stepmother. He couldn’t spend his life fighting with her; he needed a capable wife.

He went through a list in his mind but couldn’t find anyone suitable, at least not in this small village.

With no suitable candidates, Huo Qingze temporarily shelved the issue.

Early the next morning, Xu Mumu got up bright and early, even though she had trouble falling asleep last night. Still, she was full of energy today.

"Up so early?" When Xu Minghui got up, Xu Mumu had already eaten and washed up. He himself managed to get up early because he was curious about what his sister had told him.

His sister seemed a bit distracted, as if she were waiting for someone. Who could she be waiting for? Xu Minghui grew curious.

"Yeah, there’s porridge in the pot, help yourself." Xu Mumu said calmly.

"Got it." Glancing at his sister, his stomach grumbled. He decided to go have breakfast.

Once the whole family was up, Yin Yang finally arrived with gifts.

"Why is Yin Zhiqing here?" Xu Minghui opened the door, his gaze flickering. Was this the surprise his sister mentioned yesterday? Looking at what Yin Yang had brought, it seemed like things you could buy outside. Didn’t seem like much of a surprise.

"I’m here to see Mumu." Yin Yang chuckled lightly, feeling a bit conflicted inside. What was meant to come would come eventually. The future brother-in-law didn’t seem as easy to please as other members of the Old Xu Family.

"Yin Yang, you’re here! Come in." Seeing Yin Yang, Xu Mumu was overjoyed.

Watching Xu Mumu rush over to take the things from Yin Yang’s hands and lead him inside, Xu Minghui felt utterly ignored.

Xu Minghui’s eyes narrowed slightly. Since when had their relationship become so close? It seemed they were more intimate than before.

"Yin Zhiqing is here, have some tea." The whole family was present. Seeing Yin Yang, Old Xu, who was sitting in the main room smoking his pipe, offered a welcoming smile and poured him a cup of tea.

"Thank you, Sir Xu." Yin Yang was practically shocked by the hospitality.

"Truly someone from the city, knows his manners." Old Xu appreciated Yin Yang greatly. Many in the team had a high regard for him. Yin Yang had helped out a lot, and he wasn’t as condescending as others from the city.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Dad, Big Brother, you’re all here. Let me reintroduce you: Yin Yang is now my boyfriend." Xu Mumu announced with a cheerful smile.

After Xu Mumu’s words, the entire Old Xu Family fell silent for several seconds.

"What did you say? I didn’t hear that clearly." Li Caixia’s voice was loud, looking utterly incredulous. The news was too much of a shock for her.

"Yin Yang is now my boyfriend. Mom, you won’t object, right?" Xu Mumu walked over, clutching Li Caixia’s arm playfully.

"Honey, you’re not even eighteen yet. Finding a partner isn’t something you need to rush into." Xu Hai glanced at Yin Yang with some difficulty. The boy had brought over quite a lot during his visits. He didn’t seem short on money, and he was from the city, which made their decision very tough.

"Dad’s right. Sis, you’ll definitely meet someone better in the future." Xu Minghui now looked at Yin Yang with outright hostility. This kid dared to take away his sister; he’d have to settle this later. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

His sister was so young, and this boy was all sweet talk. There seemed to be nothing good about him except for his good looks. What did his sister see in him?

"Uncle, Aunt, I truly care for Mumu, and I promise to treat her well in the future." Yin Yang sincerely assured Li Caixia and the others.

"Boy, my daughter isn’t that easy to marry." Xu Hai suddenly found he didn’t quite like the look of this boy.

"I understand. I hope Uncle and Aunt will give me a chance." Yin Yang said firmly.

"Why should we trust you? You’re planning to return to the city; what will happen to my sister then?" Xu Minghui asked, staring at Yin Yang.

"Even if I return to the city, I will take Mumu with me." Yin Yang said earnestly. He finally met a girl he liked; how could he give up so easily?

"What’s your family’s situation? I’d like to know." Li Caixia asked, looking at Yin Yang, a bit conflicted. She really liked Yin Yang. Over the past year or so, he had helped the family a lot, he was good-looking, charming, and seemed quite well-off. He’d make a great son-in-law.

"My hometown is in Lan City. My grandfather was a big landlord back in the day. Now it’s just me and my grandfather. The only other relative I have is my grandfather." Yin Yang didn’t hide anything from the Xu Family. They would eventually find out if he stayed with Xu Mumu. These things couldn’t be hidden.

The words "big landlord" made the Old Xu Family fall silent, especially Li Caixia, who was quite shocked. Previously, they’d found quite a few treasures from an old landlord in the mountains. Just how wealthy could a big landlord be? No wonder Yin Yang seemed to have money.

"My grandfather is currently living in a cowshed. His name is Song Huaiyuan."

"Tsk tsk, with your family’s background, you still think you can be with my sister?" Xu Minghui sneered. Being a big landlord, along with relatives living in a cowshed, these were affiliations one shouldn’t have. Strangely, Yin Yang’s family had managed to gather them all.
