Chapter 143 Preparing for the Meeting Ceremony
Chapter 143 Preparing for the Meeting Ceremony
At this time, Lu Haochen and Yang Nuolin, who were still traveling in a resort in S City, were busy packing their luggage for their return trip.
A few days ago, they made an appointment with several other wealthy couples to travel to a resort in S City, and planned to return to G City the day after tomorrow. The reason they came out to travel before the National Day holiday was to avoid the peak holiday tourism.
But this morning, before six o'clock, Yang Nuolin, who was still dreaming, was awakened by a call from her son Lu Yanqi. When she saw that the screen showed 5:50 in the morning, she muttered to herself: You'd better have something important, otherwise I won't forgive you when I go back.
In fact, Lu Yanqi had no idea that his parents were traveling. Before he went on a business trip, his mother called him to go back for dinner. Later, he was on a business trip for ten days. After he came back, he had been with Lin Qing for the past two days and had not been back to have dinner with his family.
According to Lu Yanqi's understanding of his parents, they usually get up at six in the morning to exercise. His father likes running, and his mother will occasionally run a few laps with him, but more often they choose to do yoga at home.
He thought calling his mother at this time would not disturb their rest.
As soon as the call was connected, Yang Nuolin thought that Lu Yanqi was still on a business trip abroad and her attitude towards him was not very good because he had left his new girlfriend alone at home for more than ten days.
So she began to criticize him constantly, blaming him for only focusing on work and completely ignoring his girlfriend.
But when Yang Nuolin heard her son Lu Yanqi say that he would bring his girlfriend home for dinner the day after tomorrow, her attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn.
She felt that her son had finally done something that pleased her, and she was overjoyed and couldn't stop smiling. She agreed without hesitation and said that she would rush back to G City from S City today.
Upon learning that his parents were traveling out of town, Lu Yanqi wanted to take Lin Qing back two days later so that they could continue to enjoy their trip.
After hearing this, Yang Nuolin firmly disagreed and insisted on coming back that afternoon.
She had finally waited for her future daughter-in-law to come to her house for dinner, so how could she allow it to be postponed? Impossible.
So now Lu Haochen and Yang Nuolin began to busy themselves with packing their luggage. They booked a flight back to G City in the afternoon.
"Honey, yesterday Li Mingzhi's wife asked me where she bought jewelry for her daughter-in-law. I want to buy some for my future daughter-in-law later. This is the first time we meet, and I, as a mother-in-law, want to give her a good impression." Yang Nuolin asked her husband while busying herself.
"She was talking to you girls. I'm far away from you and couldn't hear clearly. You can go ask her later." Lu Haochen couldn't help feeling helpless. His wife was so excited when she heard that her son brought his girlfriend home.
"Okay then!" Yang Nuolin thought it made sense and it would be better to go and ask in person.
"You don't have to be so anxious. Doesn't she work in the company? When she has time, you can invite her to go shopping together and buy things." Lu Haochen suggested.
"No, I have to prepare the gift first. I can't let people think that we don't value her." Yang Nuolin insisted on her idea.
"Okay, okay, whatever you say. As long as you are happy, that's all." Lu Haochen shook his head helplessly.
Yang Nuolin smiled and continued to work.
She hopes that through these details, her future daughter-in-law can feel the warmth and care of home.
Sitting in the office, Lin Qing kept thinking that she would be meeting Lu Yanqi's family the day after tomorrow. If she didn't prepare some gifts, she would always feel a little rude.
Although Lu Yanqi said in the morning that he had arranged for someone to prepare, this was their first meeting after all, so she still wanted to choose some gifts herself, so as to better express her sincerity and intentions.
However, she had no idea what gift to give.
A wealthy family like Lu Yanqi's may have everything they need.
She couldn't help feeling annoyed and frowned.
Lin Qing sighed and decided to put aside the work at hand for the time being and search the Internet to see if there are any gift suggestions suitable for this occasion.
She opened the browser on her computer, typed "What gifts can I bring when I visit my boyfriend's family for the first time" into the search box, and pressed Enter.
In an instant, a large number of search results popped up on the screen.
Lin Qing browsed through these web pages one by one, hoping to find some inspiration.
Netizen A: It can be high-quality tea, chocolate, dried fruits or special snacks, which show the girl's attentiveness and taste.
Netizen B: It can be exquisite vases, works of art or decorations, which can enhance the home atmosphere and express the girl's artistic taste.
Netizen C: If you know your boyfriend's family's interests, hobbies or cultural background, you can choose some related books, music CDs or artworks as gifts.
Netizen D: For example, customized photo frames or family souvenirs engraved with the family’s name show the girl’s care and respect for her family.
……
Lin Qing was dazzled, and faced with so many choices, she was still confused.
These gifts seemed good, but she always felt that they were not special enough and could not fully demonstrate her importance and anticipation for this meeting.
Lin Qing suddenly thought of her cousin Xie Ziyun, who also married into a wealthy family, so she could ask her what she gave as a gift.
So Lin Qing stopped worrying about it and focused on work. When he got home in the evening, he would call his cousin and ask for her advice.
Wan Yaqing was sitting in the inner office. When she drove to the intersection near the company this morning and was waiting for the traffic light, she suddenly saw a familiar figure getting out of a luxury car on the opposite side.
She looked again and found that it was Lin Qing! However, due to the distance, the car soon entered the traffic flow and she could not see the license plate number clearly.
When Wan Yaqing came to the company, she deliberately passed by Lin Qing and looked at him carefully. She found that Lin Qing was wearing new clothes of the same brand as yesterday.
At this time, Wan Yaqing was sure that Lin Qing must have hooked up with a rich man just as Zhang Xuejing said.
According to Zhang Xuejing, Lin Qing also got off the car at that location last time.
In order to save face with Lu Yanqi, Wan Yaqing decided to ask her journalist friend to help her find evidence of Lin Qing's misconduct.
So she quickly dialed a phone number.
"Hey, I'd like to ask you for a favor." Wan Yaqing said seriously.
"Haha, you finally thought of me? Just tell me what you need." A man's hearty laughter came from the other end.
"Take a few photos for me." Wan Yaqing replied softly.
……
When getting ready to get off work at noon, Lin Qing was just about to invite Tian Yutong to go to the cafeteria for lunch.
Just then, a new message alert sound popped up on WeChat.
Lin Qing casually clicked on the screen and found that it was a message from Lu Yanqi.
Lu: [Baby, come upstairs and have lunch with me later. ]
