Chapter 39: Family Background

The cup of water that had just been put down would have spilled all over him otherwise. Meng Ying pushed him away forcefully and looked up. Chen Jiao and Li Ping were standing at the door, hesitantly looking at the two of them, or more precisely, at Xu Dian. Xu Dian adjusted his shirt collar, looking refined and somewhat restrained.

“Auntie, hello.”

Even though he restrained his aura, he still seemed intimidating. Li Ping had never seen such an imposing and distinguished man before. She was momentarily stunned, unable to speak.

The son-in-law she had just praised so highly was instantly overshadowed.

“Hello,” Chen Jiao responded a beat late. “Um… your car, the one outside… is it yours? It’s blocking the way. We have a parking space at home. Meng Ying, take him to park the car properly.”

She was usually quite domineering.

But now, she stammered through her sentence.

Xu Dian turned his head to look at Meng Ying.

His eyes seemed to be smiling.

Meng Ying pursed her lips, rolled her eyes at him, and said, “Let’s go. It’s the New Year, and there are many cars passing by.”

The road outside.

Could only accommodate one car. After saying that, Meng Ying walked towards the door, and Xu Dian followed, wrapping his arm around her waist, walking out under Li Ping’s incredulous gaze.

Down the steps.

Li Ping held the door and asked Chen Jiao, “Is he your son-in-law?”

“Are you sure he’s your son-in-law?”

Chen Jiao’s face immediately darkened, “Why can’t he be my son-in-law? Didn’t you see, he was holding her? He even kissed her as soon as he came in!”

“What kind of car is that? I don’t recognize it.” Li Ping was unwilling to give up, looking at the black car, which was not a common model.

Chen Jiao: “I don’t know, but it’s definitely a luxury car. Ask your son-in-law to come over and sit with us.”

Li Ping’s face immediately darkened. She wanted to leave but also wanted to see more and gather more information, so she shamelessly stayed.

In just a short while.

Three cars were waiting to pass outside, and many people were craning their necks, studying the car intently.

“It looks like a Volvo…”

“It’s not a Volvo, it’s a Cayenne.”

“No, no, it should be a Rolls-Royce. No, a Rolls-Royce is a bit longer.”

“This car is really beautiful.”

“The car is beautiful, and the man is handsome too. Is he a celebrity? He came to see Meng Ying, so he must be a celebrity.”

“What is their relationship? Oh my, he’s holding her waist. Is he her boyfriend?”

“Didn’t they say Meng Ying couldn’t find a boyfriend? This… such a handsome boyfriend, wow, he’s really handsome. My brother looks like a nerd with glasses, but he looks so good wearing them.”

“This guy looks like he stepped out of a comic book.”

Meng Ying turned her head slightly.

She glanced at his hand.

Xu Dian lowered his head and said, “You said it, we can date casually.”

So.

Girlfriend.

Meng Ying responded with an “oh,” put her hands in her pockets, and let him hold her.

When they reached the car, she pointed to a spot behind the house and said, “Park there.”

The car door opened, and Xu Dian pushed her waist, guiding her into the car. Meng Ying refused and said, “I’ll direct you!”

Xu Dian squinted his eyes.

A few seconds later, he let go of her and walked to the driver’s seat. He sat down, tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, and rolled down the window. Meng Ying stood lazily on the steps, pointing and saying, “Drive in that direction, then go around that building and drive inside.”

After giving instructions, she walked back. Her tall figure stood between two houses, hands back in her pockets, staring at the end of the alley. The black Maybach drove over skillfully, navigating the difficult terrain by the creek. Inside the car, Xu Dian raised an eyebrow at the woman directing him.

Her skin was really fair.

Her figure was truly wonderful.

The Maybach parked perfectly in the space behind the house. It was usually hard to park there, so last year Chen Jiao bought an 80,000 yuan parking space on the road to avoid having to navigate through the creek every time and park behind their house.

The car door opened, and Xu Dian got out. The wind was strong, blowing his shirt collar. He had his jacket draped over his arm and walked to the trunk. He opened it and took out two boxes.

Then he walked over.

Xu Dian handed his jacket to Meng Ying.

He was holding both boxes with his hands.

Meng Ying looked at him for a few seconds before taking the jacket and draping it over her arm.

The man chuckled softly, a low and deep sound that seemed very pleased.

Meng Ying glared at him and walked ahead. Xu Dian followed behind her, his eyes on her as he said, “I absolutely won’t allow you to be with another man.”

“Remember that, Meng Ying.”

His voice was very low and dangerous.

Meng Ying ignored him.

He chuckled again, “It doesn’t matter if you ignore me. Unless I die, you can only be with me.”

He didn’t care about anything else anymore.

As long as he could hold onto this woman.

Meng Ying snorted.

“So confident, Young Master Xu.”

It seemed like she had seen through everything in life.

She didn’t care about his so-called young master’s pride anymore?

“Arrogant now?”

“Don’t care anymore?”

Xu Dian laughed again, his long legs stepping to her side, looking down at her. He kept looking at her all the way until they reached Meng Ying’s house.

Outside.

A group of people watched Xu Dian reverse the car, watched this handsome man chase after Meng Ying. The crowd hadn’t dispersed yet.

Li Ping hadn’t left either.

Standing at the door, looking at someone else’s “son-in-law,” as soon as they arrived, her gaze shifted to the gift box in Xu Dian’s hand. She then asked Meng Ying, “Meng Ying, how did you meet your boyfriend?”

Meng Ying glanced at Li Ping, “Auntie, do I need to report to you?”

Li Ping’s face stiffened.

Xu Dian curled his lips, smiling coldly, “I met her in college. Anything else you want to know?”

The man’s question came with an imposing aura. Li Ping was startled, waving her hand with a smile, “Oh, I was just casually asking.”

After saying that, she quickly stepped down the stairs and added, “Meng Ying, come over to our house when you have time. Manyu really likes you.”

Then she hurried back inside.

Meng Ying didn’t respond.

Meng Yulin, Chen Jiao, and Meng Xiao were all in the living room, looking over. Chen Jiao, like a mouse seeing a cat, had a smile on her face and nudged Meng Yulin a few times.

Xu Dian stepped forward first, placing the two boxes of bird’s nest on the ground.

They were too big to fit on the coffee table. He rolled up his sleeves, revealing a black watch and slender arms, and said, “Hello, Uncle. Hello, Auntie. And this is… Meng Xiao?”

Meng Xiao, holding a phone, nodded hurriedly.

Then hesitated, “Brother-in-law?”

Xu Dian’s lips curved slightly, glancing at the woman hanging clothes.

He smiled, “Yes.”

Meng Yulin stood up, pointing to a chair, “Sit, sit, have some tea. The tea here is good, Meng Ying likes it.”

Xu Dian nodded.

He sat on a single sofa, his hand resting on the armrest, looking very dignified.

“Thank you, Uncle.”

“You’re welcome.” Meng Yulin nudged Chen Jiao, signaling her to bring the kettle. Chen Jiao quickly came to her senses, took it, and placed it on the coffee table.

Her usual domineering aura was gone. Meng Yulin opened a tea bag, brewed tea, and the steam rose, slightly blurring the view. The man sitting on the single sofa was so handsome he didn’t seem real. Meng Yulin felt uneasy but had to ask, “What does Mr. Xu’s family do? Are you from Licheng?”

These were all questions Chen Jiao wanted to ask.

But she didn’t dare to ask herself, so she pushed Meng Yulin to do it.

After hanging up her coat, Meng Ying sat on the double sofa opposite Xu Dian, facing him. Meng Xiao sat beside her, her long legs crossed, looking lazy.

Since Xu Dian had come to her door.

She let him shield her for a few days of peace.

*

Then continue.

“Not broken up yet.”

“Being boyfriend and girlfriend is nice.”

She rested her chin on her hand, her eyes curved in a smile, and her hair fell over her shoulders, looking incredibly charming.

This scene was all captured in Xu Dian’s eyes. He leaned back slightly, his gaze lingering on her face for several seconds. Then he turned his head and smiled at Meng Yulin, “I’m a local from Licheng. My family runs a business with diverse interests.”

The teapot shook.

Family business?

Second-generation rich?

Meng Yulin had done business and met some people, but he had never encountered such a family.

A local from Licheng.

Surname Xu.

Meng Xiao secretly tapped Meng Yulin’s leg. Meng Yulin looked down, and his phone’s Baidu Baike page was open.

On it.

Licheng, Xu Group.

Further down.

Current CEO.

Xu Dian.

Twenty-nine years old.

But no photo.

Next to him, Chen Jiao also glanced at it, her eyes widening like copper bells.

Chen Jiao raised her head, hesitated for a moment, and asked softly, “How old are you this year?”

“Twenty-nine.”
