Chapter 194: Father and Mother in Law

Translator: Aristophaneso

“So goddesses also show off!”

Chu Xian watched Xiao Ying’s cute act and couldn’t help laughing inside his heart.

“You drove here! It’s such a long trip by car!” Xiao Ying’s father replied, immediately reaching for his gate keys. “How long did it take you!”

“Uncle, it wasn’t too far.” Chu Xian said from where he stood to the side.

“En, not far. We brought a lot of things, so driving was a little more convenient!” Xiao Ying laughed.

When Xiao Ying’s parents walked out of the gate and saw the luxury sky blue Rolls-Royce parked outside, a cabriolet that they had only ever seen on TV, they were completely stunned.

“Xiao Xian, this is your car?” Xiao Ying’s father asked in amazement.

“En, my friend gifted it to me!” Chu Xian laughed.

Xiao Ying’s parents were stunned again – a friend gave it to him?

“It’s fine, dad. We brought some alcohol and cigarettes, xixi!” Xiao Ying pulled on her father’s arm and laughed happily.

“You shouldn’t have! We didn’t invite you over to bring us things!” Xiao Ying’s mother said from the side before walking up to Xiao Ying and whispering in her ear. “What is this car? It isn’t cheap? More than a million rmb?”

“I don’t know for sure, this is something Xiao Xian’s American friend gave him. It should be worth four or five million!” Xiao Ying replied happily.

“Four to five million?” Xiao Ying’s father’s eyes fell open, and he hurriedly called to Chu Xian. “Be careful while parking, the gate is narrow!”

“Daughter, didn’t you say that you’ve been with Xiao Ying for four to five years now? His family is also from the countryside, how does he have so much money?” Xiao Ying’s mother asked with astonishment.

“He started his own business and made some money!” Xiao Ying looked back at Chu Xian with love in her eyes.

“Good, good, good. It’s good as long as Xiao Xian is capable!” Xiao Ying’s mother could not hide her smile.

“Dad, mom, here. These are some clothes and shoes, and some makeup products. These smokes and bottles are yours, dad.” Xiao Ying called out as Chu Xian dutifully presented all the items.

“How will you explain yourselves, bringing so much stuff!” Xiao Ying’s mother looked over all the variously sized objects and though her words were filled with reproach, her eyes shined happily.

“Ya, ya, the alcohol you brought is so expensive!” Xiao Ying’s father was shuffling through the different gifts and called out with excitement when he saw the Dream of the Blue.

“What kind of alcohol is this, the packaging is so beautiful. Look at you all, it’s fine as long as you buy some cheap ten rmb alcohol for your father, he won’t become a saint even if you stuff him with all of this good alcohol!” Xiao Ying’s mother took out the two boxes of alcohol.

“Hehe,” Chu Xian laughed cheerfully. Xiao Ying’s father seemed to really love alcohol, and he took up a bottle.

“This Dream of Blue is very expensive, ah. At least six to seven hundred rmb per bottle. I don’t dare drink such expensive alcohol, I’m fine and prefer the eighty to a hundred rmb bottles. Just take this back later and see if you can return it.”

“Dad, we bought it for you. If you think it’s too expensive just drink less!” Xiao Ying smiled and replied.

“How much was this? Why did you buy two cases, what a waste!” Xiao Ying’s father shook his head.

“Around two thousand rmb per bottle.” Xiao Ying smiled happily and replied. “This is Xiao Xian’s gift to you, just drink it. We can’t return it anyway, you can just store it at home and drink it slowly.”

“Over two thousand?” Xiao Ying’s father was stunned. “Then these two boxes are worth more than ten thousand! Too expensive! How could you all buy stuff that’s so expensive! I won’t ascend to heaven just by drinking, look at you guys…”

When Xiao Ying’s father learned how much the cigarettes costed his heart ached once again, and he could not help but pause and reflect on how a single one of these new cigarettes costed four to five rmb – just two sticks were worth an entire pack of what he usually smokes, how could he bear to smoke these.

Xiao Ying’s mother tried on the clothes they bought, and when she saw the price tags she also complained.

But even though her words were filled with such words, her heart was incredibly happy; after all, if her son in law was rich and considerate, of course they would be happy.

That afternoon, Xiao Ying’s mother made a huge table of food with chicken, duck, fish, lamb, pork, and beef, and the parents couldn’t hide their smiles for the whole afternoon.

“Xiao Xian, money this thing, my wife and I don’t have much. We only have this one daughter Xiao Ying, and even if you give us so much money we won’t be able to spend it all, and we can still work. You should take the money back, and you can use it to make more money!”

While they were eating, Xiao Ying’s father returned a bank card to Chu Xian. The older man was incredibly happy and drank a lot, “Xiao Xian let me tell you, this money you don’t need to give to us. Xiao Ying is our only child, and when you get married you don’t need to give a dowry or give us money. When you guys get married we’ll give you a hundred thousand. It’ll be good as long as you two live well together.”

Chu Xian laughed with some helplessness and looked at Xiao Ying. “Uncle, this money is not that much, you should keep it and spend it. I have money.”

“Call me dad, hehe, call me dad.” Xiao Ying’s father laughed. “I know you have money, but two million rmb is not a small number. Even if you tell us to spend it we won’t know how, so you should take it back.”

“Mom, dad, just take the money. This money really isn’t very much for Xiao Xian!” Xiao Ying tried to persuade her parents.

“Not much? Two million is not much? You father has worked his entire life and still hasn’t made two million. It’s not easy to make money right now, you guys should take it.” Xiao Ying’s mother shook her head. When her daughter had given her this bank card with two million rmb inside, she’d jumped in startlement.

“That’s right, we don’t want your money. We don’t have any pressing concerns right now. That’s right, Chu Xian, what kind of business do you do? I heard from Xiao Ying that you started your business earlier this year.” Xiao Ying’s father asked.

“En, dad!” Chu Xian called out and smiled. “Right now I sell ornamental fish, decorated aquariums. I own two stores, and recently rented a fish farm and bought a fishing ship, so I sometimes go out to sea.”

“It isn’t easy going out into the sea, with all the wind and rain.” Xiao Ying’s father shook his head. “I heard from Xiao Ying that you also don’t have it easy. You just started making some money this year, so you should keep this and save it for emergencies!”

Xiao Ying touched Chu Xian’s hand, and Chu Xian understood what she meant. She wanted him to use his showing off excuse that he’d given his own family. Chu Xian nodded, “Dad, it’s not as hard as you think. The business is going well, and I earned more than ninety million rmb by selling ornamental fish. The aquarium business is good as well, and I’m read to open up stores around the country. A few days ago I also started a business in Thailand with a friend over there, and it is very hopeful for the future. I have products worth sixty million rmb just waiting for the right buyers, and I also have over a hundred million in cash. This two million really isn’t much, you should take it!”

When Chu Xian finished explaining, the room fell silent. Xiao Ying’s parents were staring in stunned silence, and Chu Xian could only smile helplessly at Xiao Ying.

“Mom, dad, take it.” Xiao Ying said again. “Xiao Xian’s business is big and makes a lot of money. Look at this watch, how much do you think it costs? More than five hundred thousand. Just keep the money and don’t worry. You can renovate the house or build another one, and in the future dad won’t have to work so hard and you can buy whatever you want…”
