Chapter 42: Your Eyes Are Eating Me Up

That evening, at Cui Yuge Pavilion.

Yu Nanzheng walked into the private room and respectfully addressed Jian’s mother, who was seated at the head of the table, “Mom.”

Jian’s mother thought, “This son-in-law, if nothing else, is really handsome!”

His looks could launch him into stardom.

Who doesn’t like beautiful things? They are pleasing to the eye.

She smiled and nodded.

“Nanzheng, come sit.”

Yu Nanzheng sat down beside Jian Hongyou.

Jian Hongyou looked over.

Her eyes were filled with admiration.

This guy was so handsome every time she saw him.

He had taken off his suit jacket, revealing a black shirt underneath, paired with black trousers.

He was a natural clothes horse, looking good in anything.

His facial contours were sharp, and his peach blossom eyes looked at her.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Yu Nanzheng leaned closer to her and said in a voice only they could hear, “Am I that handsome? You’re so engrossed, your eyes are about to eat me up.”

Jian Hongyou’s ears turned red involuntarily.

She admitted frankly, “You are pretty handsome. You must be doing it on purpose, deliberately tempting me.”

Yu Nanzheng laughed mischievously, “Caught me.”

Initially, Jian’s mother had been worried.

She was afraid that Jian Hongyou was marrying Yu Nanzheng out of necessity.

Although their family had fallen on hard times, she never wanted to make her daughter suffer.

She didn’t object to dating.

That Guan Huai was a scoundrel, he had hurt her daughter, so it was perfectly fine for her daughter to find a boyfriend to help her heal.

She wasn’t a rigid parent and completely agreed with her daughter’s actions.

But when they skipped dating and were directly exposed as being married, she couldn’t help but think about other possibilities.

Although Jian Hongyou wasn’t her biological daughter, she had raised her from a young age, cherishing her like a treasure.

Except for not being born from her womb, everything else was her concern.

She didn’t want Jian Hongyou to marry someone she didn’t love because of the family’s debts.

But now, seeing them talking intimately,

Her worries subsided.

She actually liked Yu Nanzheng quite a bit.

How could a boy possibly beat Jian Hongyou? He must be letting her win.

She knew what was going on.

This child was very gentlemanly.

Just for this, she felt at ease entrusting her daughter to him.

Yu Nanzheng sat up straight and placed two cards and several pieces of paper in front of Jian’s mother.

“Mom, I don’t know what you like. This is a lifetime membership card to Yanxiu, you can take your girlfriends there for beauty treatments and chat whenever you want.”

“This is a lifetime membership card to Jiangnan Club, you can go there with your friends to have tea, play mahjong, and all expenses are on me.”

“I also booked a global travel package for you, valid indefinitely. Whenever you want to travel, just go. These are the receipts and invoices, keep them, all food, accommodation, and travel expenses are covered.”

Jian’s mother was taken aback, these things were all too expensive.

Jian Hongyou exclaimed, “Wow! Yanxiu, the top beauty institution in Beijing, a lifetime membership card must cost over a million. Jiangnan Club, a gathering place for wealthy wives, my mom used to go there often, a lifetime membership card should also cost over a million, my mom used to pay tens of thousands for an annual card. This global travel package, is it also over a million?”

Yu Nanzheng was very humble in front of Jian’s mother.

“Money is not important, as long as Mom likes it.”

Jian Hongyou suddenly looked at Yu Nanzheng with new respect.

He had hit the nail on the head with these gifts.

Her mother was used to the life of a wealthy wife, frequently going to various clubs.

After the Jian family’s downfall, she had given up those hobbies and lost contact with her former friends.

Seeing these things she once possessed, Jian’s mother was almost moved to tears.

She held Yu Nanzheng’s hand.

“Nanzheng, you’re so thoughtful, but these things are too expensive, I can’t accept them.”

Yu Nanzheng said, “Mom, but these things can’t be refunded, if you don’t take them, I can only throw them away.”

“That would be such a waste…”

“So, please accept them.”

“… Alright, I’ll take them.”

Jian’s mother wasn’t a fussy person, she came from a wealthy family and had always been generous.

Her son-in-law had this filial piety, so she accepted them.

Refusing too much would make things seem distant.

Yu Nanzheng then took out a car key and pushed it in front of Jian Minghui.

“This is for you.”

Jian Minghui didn’t expect a gift for himself.

It was a Maybach.

“Brother-in-law, I don’t want it.”

“You don’t like it? Then go choose one from my garage yourself.”

Jian Minghui had to admit that his brother-in-law was generous and very open-handed, giving him a Maybach right off the bat.

Before coming, he wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine, since he had married his sister without asking for permission.

Now, seeing how his brother-in-law seemed to treat his sister well,

Men understood men.

He could see Yu Nanzheng’s affection for his sister.

He abandoned the idea of teaching Yu Nanzheng a lesson.

“Brother-in-law, I’m still a student, it’s not appropriate for me to drive this car.”

“Aren’t you graduating soon? Drive it to work.”

“It’s too flashy for me to drive a Maybach to work, my sister left me a car, I’ll just drive that one.”

Jian Hongyou also agreed with Jian Minghui’s approach.

“Forget it, it’s not suitable for him to drive this kind of car when he’s just starting out.”

Yu Nanzheng had no choice but to take back the car key that Jian Minghui had returned to him.

Jian’s mother was very satisfied with Yu Nanzheng, constantly serving him food at the dinner table.

Jian Minghui also raised his glass, “Brother-in-law, I’ll toast you!”

Jian Hongyou stopped him, “You’re still a student, what are you drinking for!”

Jian Minghui laughed, “Sis, I’m graduating soon, besides, I’m already an adult, why can’t I drink?”

Without Jian Hongyou’s knowledge, he had already drunk many times.

Yu Nanzheng pulled Jian Hongyou back down.

“Minghui will be working soon, he’ll inevitably have to drink in the workplace, this is a good opportunity to practice.”

Jian Hongyou had no choice but to let them be.

“Just have a little bit.”

Yu Nanzheng said indulgently, “Got it.”

The meal was relatively harmonious.

When it was over, Yu Nanzheng and Jian Minghui were both a little drunk.

Yu Nanzheng had a driver, so Jian Hongyou planned to take Jian’s mother and brother home.

Jian’s mother wouldn’t let her.

“We’ll call a designated driver, you go with Nanzheng.”

Yu Nanzheng stumbled over and hugged Jian’s mother.

“Thank you, Mom! Thank you for giving my wife back to me… Thank you! Thank you!”

Jian Hongyou: “…”

Jian’s mother also laughed and cried.

This son-in-law was so cute when he was drunk!

Jian Minghui, drunk and docile, obediently climbed into the back seat.

Seeing that there was a designated driver nearby, Jian’s mother called one over.

Jian Hongyou pulled Yu Nanzheng over.

Jian’s mother got into the car.

Jian Hongyou waved to Jian’s mother, “Mom, be careful going upstairs.”

“Don’t worry.”

Yu Nanzheng leaned on Jian Hongyou’s shoulder.

He imitated Jian Hongyou and waved to Jian’s mother.

“Bye, Mom! Thank you for giving my wife back to me! Thank you!”

Yu Nanzheng shouted loudly.

Jian Hongyou, afraid of being embarrassed, quickly put on her mask.

She helped Yu Nanzheng into the car.

Yu Nanzheng immediately clung to her, hugging Jian Hongyou tightly.

“Wife, hug!”
