Chapter 17: This is My Husband

Xia Nanxi pulled out two bills and gave them to the two drivers, “Thank you, you’ve worked hard. Here’s a little something for you to have some water.”

“Miss Xia is such a kind person! I wish you and Mr. Zhan a happy life together.”

After the drivers left, all the neighbors and guests gathered around.

“Xiufen, what kind of person is your son-in-law? How come he’s so rich?”

“He’s so generous too, so many bottles of Moutai. I’ve never even seen so much, let alone drank it!”

“Our Nanxi is truly blessed! If she were born in ancient times, she would definitely be a noble lady!”

…

Seeing the fickle crowd, Cai Guixiang’s family’s faces turned ashen.

Wang Jianzhou wished he could smash the two bottles of Moutai he brought.

Humph!

You country bumpkin, how dare you embarrass me in such a setting!

Xia Zilun tried to maintain her composure, saying, “Nanxi, since your cousin-in-law’s family is nouveau riche, you have to be careful. He hasn’t shown up in half a year since you got your marriage certificate. Even today, he only sent gifts but didn’t come himself. I guess he’s too ugly to show his face. You have to be mentally prepared…”

Before she could finish, a low, pleasant voice came from the door, “Sorry, Xiaoxi, I’m late.”

Everyone looked up and saw a man in a black suit, with a cold and noble aura, walking in gracefully.

He had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, handsome and extraordinary.

Those deep, phoenix-like eyes, a casual glance could captivate thousands of girls.

Even the old lady munching on melon seeds couldn’t help but stop.

“Wow! This young man is so handsome!”

Xia Nanxi walked over and naturally put her arm around his, “No, you came at the right time.”

Then she smiled and introduced him to everyone, “This is my husband, Zhan Chengyan!”

“My goodness! Nanxi is truly blessed in her past life, her husband is not only a rich man but also more handsome than a movie star!”

“Most importantly, he’s generous to his mother-in-law. Unlike some people, who are still rich second-generation from some big hotel, they only brought two bottles of wine.”

“Yeah, Xiufen and her husband will be enjoying the good life from now on!”

“Look at how well-matched this young man and Nanxi are, a handsome man and a beautiful woman. Nanxi is the golden phoenix of our Yangchang Lake!”

…

Amidst the praise, Zhan Chengyan first walked to Xia 老爷子 (Old Master Xia).

“Grandpa Xia, I wish you good health, happiness every day, and may you have many more birthdays like this. My grandfather went on vacation to another country and couldn’t come, so he asked me to tell you, Happy Birthday!”

Xia 老爷子 initially made Xia Nanxi marry into the Zhan family on a whim.

These days, Zhan Chengyan hadn’t shown up, and he had some regrets in his heart, feeling like he had wronged his granddaughter.

Now, seeing that his son-in-law was excellent in every aspect, the stone in his heart finally settled.

He smiled so hard his mouth couldn’t close, “Good, good! Chengyan, come sit, come sit. Come by often in the future, don’t bring so many things, it’s too much trouble!”

He said this, but seeing the envious looks of his old friends, he felt secretly pleased.

“Okay, Grandpa.” Zhan Chengyan agreed, but didn’t sit down. Instead, he walked over to 夏长远 (Xia Changyuan) and 许秀芬 (Xu Xiufen) and bowed.

“Dad, Mom, I apologize for being late. I was abroad before, so I couldn’t come to visit you until now. Please forgive me.”

He said this sincerely.

Before he came in, he actually heard everything said by the people in the courtyard. He heard the sarcasm from others and the defense from Xia Nanxi’s three brothers, he heard it all clearly.

It turned out that the Xia family thought he was a poor country bumpkin, but Xia Nanxi’s family didn’t show any contempt, which made him feel a lot better.

Xia Changyuan saw that his son-in-law was quite sensible, and the anger in his heart subsided a lot, but he still wanted to put on a father-in-law’s airs and scold Zhan Chengyan a little.

But before he could speak, Xu Xiufen said with a smile, “How could your father and I be so petty? Let’s not talk about the past. We’re a family now, you and Nanxi just live a good life!”

Her son-in-law was indeed as her daughter said, even more handsome than the top male stars she liked, and he came and slapped Cai Guixiang in the face, earning her a lot of face.

She was satisfied with this son-in-law!

Thinking this, she didn’t forget to take two bottles of Moutai for Cai Guixiang.

“Sister-in-law, you’re welcome. Look, Chengyan brought so much wine, Changyuan doesn’t drink much, so you take these two bottles home and keep them for your brother to drink!”
