The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 921 - 438

Mother Lu came back from her phone call and sat down, her back straight as she looked at the boy sitting across from her, chatting away happily with a member of her family. Her feelings were especially complicated. It wasn’t hard to see that the boy in front of her was good-looking and well-mannered, and his temperament was quite rare.

Mother Lu had to admit that she liked such a boy. However, if he were to become her son-in-law, she had her own concerns.

Father Lu, a grown man, didn’t have as many thoughts as Mother Lu. Originally, he didn’t take to Xiao Xuyang well, feeling that this boy had stolen away the daughter he had painstakingly raised for twenty years. But after actually talking to him, he was taken aback.

This lad in his early twenties had an extraordinary breadth of knowledge. There were very few young men his age who could hold a conversation with him like this. Furthermore, talking to this young man was especially comfortable, as if he was chatting with an old friend he’d known for many years, with endless topics to discuss.

Mother Lu was originally worried that her husband’s temper would show, and that not many could get along well with him. But what she saw instead when she came out was the two of them in an amiable conversation.

She was truly surprised.

And Mother Lu was even more curious about how this young man had come to know her daughter. Last night when her daughter came back, she only told them that she had a boyfriend but didn’t ask anything else. Even if they did ask, they wouldn’t get much out of her.

Mother Lu thought, while her daughter wasn’t around, that she might as well ask.

Mother Lu walked straight over, moved to Father Lu’s side, and then squeezed Father Lu to the side: "Hey, what are you doing?" Father Lu, whose conversation was interrupted, frowned slightly.

"I’m talking to—"

"Xiao Xuyang, Auntie, my name is Xiao Xuyang, just call me Xuyang," Xiao Xuyang responded quickly and picked up the conversation with ease.

"Mhm, I was talking to Xuyang," Mother Lu felt very pleased inside.

"Didn’t you see I was talking to Xuyang, and you just barged in?" Father Lu said dissatisfied. He was having an enjoyable conversation with Xiao Xuyang, and his wife had just cut in.

Father Lu indicated that he was now in a foul mood.

"Don’t you see I have something important to talk about? You’ll have plenty of opportunities to chat with Xuyang later on," Mother Lu glared at Father Lu, thinking that her husband really had no sense of priority.

Not knowing what was urgent and what was not. What could be more important than their daughter’s life events?

Speaking of this matter, Mother Lu was also anxious inside, for her own daughter. Others worried about their children falling in love too early, while she was worried that her daughter, already in her twenties, hadn’t even had a single relationship.

She feared that the incident with her cousin had influenced her daughter to the point of being too afraid to date or even find a partner. She even feared that her daughter might end up lonely.

Mother Lu was also thinking that if her daughter still didn’t have a partner by her senior year, she would have to start arranging blind dates for her.

Father Lu also knew about his wife’s constant worries and understood that his daughter’s life events were important. Although he was not pleased, he could only pick up the cup beside him and take a sip of tea.

He suddenly felt that maybe having Xiao Xuyang as his son-in-law wouldn’t be such a bad thing. At last, someone to share a cup of tea with, have a chat, and play chess.

Seeing that Father Lu finally stopped talking, Mother Lu, satisfied, turned her head back to Xiao Xuyang: "Then, Auntie will call you Xuyang. Don’t take it amiss that both of us old folks were surprised when we saw you. We just heard from Xinyi yesterday that she had a boyfriend. We thought the two of you had just started dating, so we didn’t ask more. We also didn’t hear from her that you would be visiting today, so if there’s anything lacking in our hospitality, please forgive us."

"Auntie, it’s really my fault. I came to visit without telling Xinyi," Xiao Xuyang said apologetically to Father Lu and Mother Lu: "I like Xinyi and am pursuing her. However, due to factors regarding my family, she has been very resistant. I am somewhat aware of Xinyi’s situation and understand what’s on her mind. My family members are not like that. Yesterday, I even took Xinyi to meet my great-grandfather, my parents, and it turns out, my sister is actually classmates with Xinyi."

"Your family factors?" Mother Lu asked, glancing at Father Lu, then continued, "Your parents are?"

"My father is Xiao Muli, and my mother is Situ Xin." In reality, Xiao Xuyang also didn’t know how to explain to Lu Xinyi’s parents what his parents did. After a moment of thought, he decided to simply give their names.

It was just unclear whether Lu Xinyi’s parents would recognize them.

"Xiao Muli?"

"Situ Xin?"

Father Lu and Mother Lu almost thought they had heard wrong.

Xiao Xuyang also wasn’t sure whether the reaction from Lu Xinyi’s parents was good or bad, but all he could do was nod. "Indeed, those are my parents."

"So, you come from such a background," Mother Lu commented.

Both Father Lu and Mother Lu looked unsettled now. They had never imagined that this outstanding young man in front of them was actually the son of Xiao Muli and Situ Xin.

"Do you know my parents?" Xiao Xuyang, seeing the change in Father Lu’s and Mother Lu’s expressions and not for the better, couldn’t help but guess, wondering if his parents had any disagreement or unpleasant history with Lu Xinyi’s parents. If that was the case, he and Lu Xinyi being together would truly be fraught with difficulties.

"We know of your parents, but they do not know us. With their status, how could they know ordinary people like us?"

Hearing this, Xiao Xuyang breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, there was no previous animosity.

"To really speak of it, we are school alumni of your parents. It’s just that, in the school, your parents were celebrated figures—everyone knew of Xiao Muli and Situ Xin. While we were merely ordinary students," Father Lu and Mother Lu couldn’t help reminiscing about their days at school when they mentioned Xiao Muli and Situ Xin.

"What a coincidence."

"It really is. By the way, your parents met our Xinyi. Surely they wouldn’t agree to their son taking a daughter from an ordinary family," Mother Lu remarked.

Being the son of Xiao Muli and Situ Xin, Xiao Xuyang’s status was self-evident. With the Xiao Family and the Situ Family being prominent, whoever he’d choose would certainly be someone of wealth or nobility.

"Auntie, my parents have met Xinyi and are aware of her background. But you are mistaken, my parents like Xinyi very much, they would be particularly happy to have her as a daughter-in-law. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have suggested that the two families meet up. For my parents, social standing isn’t important. What they find important are character and feelings."
