Chapter 92: Big Sister and Brother-in-Law’s Love Story
TL: YYang
“This is my sister, Chen Xinyu.”
“Xinyu, this is my sister’s friend, Shen Yuan. Say hello.”
Chen Na introduced the two.
Their relationship had no official status, and Chen Na understood this, so she didn’t say he was her boyfriend.
Chen Xinyu was still a young girl and quite shy. Seeing this young and handsome big brother, she stammered and didn’t know what to say.
In the end, it was Shen Yuan who broke the awkwardness. He handed a box from the trunk over. “This is a gift for you. Aren’t you starting university in a month? I bought you a computer.”
Shen Yuan had not only prepared gifts for Chen Na’s parents but also knew she had a sister in her senior year of high school, so he had Liu Menglu buy an Apple Macbook 14.
It wasn’t expensive for him, but for a student from an ordinary family, it was an unimaginable gift.
This MacBook had to be at least over ten thousand!
Chen Xinyu was a bit hesitant to accept it. She cast a questioning look at Chen Na, and only after receiving an affirmative nod did she carefully take the computer.
“Thank you.”
“It’s nothing. When you get into university, I’ll get you a phone too.”
Shen Yuan said with a smile.
“Let’s go up!”
Shen Yuan carried the heaviest box of liquor, while the two sisters carried the other gift boxes. The three of them then climbed the stairs together.
“Nana, this is?”
Hearing the commotion, Yu Shufen came out of the living room and noticed something was off.
Because at the door stood a strange young man, tall and well-built.
And he was carrying a case of liquor, while her two daughters were also carrying bags full of things.
“This is…”
Chen Na was about to introduce him as a friend when Shen Yuan cut in.
“Auntie, hello. I’m Chen Na’s boyfriend, my name is Shen Yuan. You can just call me Little Shen.”
Shen Yuan placed the liquor on the shoe cabinet by the door and greeted her warmly.
“Boyfriend?”
Yu Shufen looked Shen Yuan up and down suspiciously, then immediately pulled Chen Na to the corner of the stairs and asked in a low voice, “Nana, what’s going on? When did you get a boyfriend?”
At this moment, Chen Na’s lips were curved into a sweet smile, completely oblivious to Yu Shufen’s question, because Shen Yuan had just said he was her boyfriend.
She had always seen herself as a canary and never thought she would have an official status, so Shen Yuan’s sudden statement was a wonderful surprise.
Looking at her giggling daughter, Yu Shufen was a bit dissatisfied. “Nana, say something.”
“Yes, he’s my boyfriend.”
Chen Na said firmly.
“But he…”
“Alright, don’t leave my boyfriend hanging. Let’s go inside and talk.”
Chen Na walked into the house full of joy, then pulled Shen Yuan by the hand to the kitchen and proudly greeted, “Dad, I brought my boyfriend home.”
“Boyfriend?”
Chen Yongxiang heard this and almost dropped his spatula. He turned his head and saw a handsome young man with a clean-cut appearance, dressed casually, but he looked a bit young.
Shen Yuan nodded slightly. “Uncle, hello. My name is Shen Yuan.”
“Uh, hello, hello.”
“Have a seat first.”
Chen Yongxiang gestured for Shen Yuan to sit on the sofa, subconsciously wiping the sweat from his forehead with his apron.
What was this all about?
Nana already had a boyfriend, but there was still a blind date at home.
Gan Fengzhen also heard the word “boyfriend” and immediately became uneasy. She asked Yu Shufen in a low voice, “What’s the situation? Nana has a boyfriend?”
Yu Shufen spread her hands. “I don’t know either!”
Gan Fengzhen was getting a headache and couldn’t help but glance at Dong Qitao. “This is a bit tricky now.”
“Sigh, let’s see first.”
Dong Qitao still hadn’t reacted. He came for a blind date, had a pleasant chat with the woman, and her parents were also very satisfied with him, but it turned out the woman actually had a boyfriend?
What the hell was this!
Gan Fengzhen went over to comfort him. “Xiao Dong, don’t panic yet.”
“Let’s see the situation. Look, this guy is probably very young. Being young means he’s immature and has no financial ability, so Nana’s parents might not agree.”
Dong Qitao sighed silently. “We can only wait and see.”
Shen Yuan brought all the gifts from the door to the dining table, while Chen Na called her parents over. “Dad, Mom, Shen Yuan brought you gifts. Come and see.”
Looking at the dazzling array of gift boxes, cigarettes, and liquor on the table, Yu Shufen and Chen Yongxiang couldn’t help but widen their eyes.
My goodness, he really went all out!
“Uncle, I know you like to drink, so I got you a case of 53-degree Feitian Maotai.”
“I don’t know if you smoke, but I also bought six cartons of He Tianxia. If you don’t smoke, you can keep them and hand them out during the New Year.”
As Shen Yuan was introducing the gifts, Dong Qitao sat on the sofa, looking at the cigarettes and liquor, his scalp tingling. 53-degree Feitian, although the official price was 1499, it was basically impossible to buy at that price. He had bought two bottles during the New Year, and they were at least 2800 a bottle.
My goodness, this guy brought a whole case. This case of liquor alone was at least 16,000.
Plus the six cartons of He Tianxia, the cigarettes and liquor alone were over 20,000!
Damn it, it’s just dating. Is it necessary to be so competitive?
“Also, I know you have high blood pressure, so I bought you Tiepi Shihu and special grade lightly-dried sea cucumber. Both of these can control blood sugar and blood pressure, and also improve immunity. You two should eat them often.”
Shen Yuan pointed to the gift boxes on the table and introduced them one by one, then took out a Chow Tai Fook gift box. “This is for Auntie. It’s all gold jewelry: a bracelet, a ring, a necklace, and earrings.”
“It’s all pure gold. You can wear it or keep it at home. Anyway, gold is a hard currency, and it might even appreciate in value.”
“Uh…”
Yu Shufen carefully took the gift box and couldn’t help but ask, “How much did all this cost?”
Shen Yuan waved his hand casually. “Not much money, it’s mainly the thought that counts. This box of gold jewelry is about sixty thousand, and with all the gifts, it’s about a hundred thousand.”
Yu Shufen and Chen Yongxiang sucked in a cold breath.
‘Just’ a hundred thousand…
Listen to that. Does that sound like something an ordinary person could say?
When Chen Yongxiang came out of the kitchen and saw the case of Maotai, he knew it was something special. It turned out the Maotai was just a small part; the guy had spent over sixty thousand on gold jewelry alone!
Yu Shufen was also stunned by the box of gold jewelry and still hadn’t recovered.
What kind of divine boyfriend did Nana find?
Gan Fengzhen sat on the sofa with an awkward expression. She really didn’t know Nana had a boyfriend, and even Nana’s parents didn’t know. It turned out to be such a scene, with him bringing a boyfriend back unannounced.
If his boyfriend’s conditions were a bit worse, Xiao Dong might still have a chance. But this boyfriend, at a glance, was not from an ordinary family!
Bringing over 100,000 worth of gifts on the first visit, what kind of background did he have?
Dong Qitao’s face was even uglier. He had thought that bringing over 6,000 worth of gifts was already very generous, but this guy’s 100,000 made him look like a clown.
He couldn’t help but complain inwardly. This matchmaker was really something, not even getting the situation straight!
“Qitao, don’t panic yet. I’ll go and find out the situation later. This matter probably isn’t that simple.”
Gan Fengzhen had just sensed something was off and leaned over. “Think about it, with such a rich boyfriend, why didn’t Nana bring him back sooner or later, but specifically at this time?”
Dong Qitao immediately reacted. “Aunt Gan, you mean, this boyfriend is an actor?”
It wasn’t strange for Gan Fengzhen to have this idea, because the phenomenon of renting a boyfriend to take home was quite common now, and she often saw such videos.
Gan Fengzhen nodded thoughtfully. “There’s that possibility, so I’ll go and test his background later.”
“Alright.”
Actually, Dong Qitao didn’t think this was a “fake” boyfriend, because the gifts alone were over 100,000. If it was really an act, the cost would be too high.
Unless the cigarettes, liquor, and jewelry were all fake.
Seeing the full 100,000 worth of gifts, Yu Shufen’s gaze towards Shen Yuan was now different. She couldn’t help but ask, “You’re called Shen… Shen what again?”
Shen Yuan smiled. “Auntie, my name is Shen Yuan. You can just call me Little Shen.”
Yu Shufen smiled embarrassedly. “Ah, Little Shen, hello. You’re too polite.”
Yu Shufen tried her best to appear calm on the surface, but inwardly she was ecstatic.
Never thought, never thought, that this overwhelming wealth would finally descend upon our family?
This level of generosity, at a glance, showed he was not just ordinarily rich!
Thinking about it, Yu Shufen felt she was a bit ridiculous. Just now, that Xiao Dong’s gifts worth over 6,000 had her completely fooled, but Nana’s boyfriend came and just dropped 100,000!
“Little Shen, have a seat for a while. We’ll chat over dinner later.”
Chen Yongxiang was calmer than his wife. He gestured for Shen Yuan to sit down, then went back into the kitchen to get busy.
In his view, it didn’t matter if his daughter’s partner was rich or not. The key was that his daughter liked him.
Just now, seeing his daughter’s happy and sweet expression, Chen Yongxiang felt that she must have found someone she liked to show such a reaction.
Thinking this, a faint smile appeared on Chen Yongxiang’s face as he cooked.
“Um, hello Little Shen. I’m Nana’s cousin-aunt.”
Gan Fengzhen greeted with a smile.
“Hello, Cousin-aunt.”
Shen Yuan nodded politely.
“I think you’re probably younger than Nana, right? How old are you this year?”
Gan Fengzhen sized Shen Yuan up. He was wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans, with a handsome and clean-cut look. At a glance, he didn’t look old.
“I’m 21.”
Shen Yuan told the truth.
“Only 21.”
Gan Fengzhen deliberately repeated it loudly.
She was now even more convinced that this was an actor Nana had hired. A 27-year-old girl found a partner 6 years younger than her, and this partner was also particularly rich.
Who would believe that?
Yu Shufen also heard it. She couldn’t really tell the age of young people, because now 20-year-olds and 30-year-olds looked pretty much the same, and their dressing style was also similar. It mainly depended on personal style.
“Little Shen, I thought you were about the same age as our Nana.”
Yu Shufen also asked.
“Auntie, age is not a problem. Nana and I are truly in love. I hope you can bless us.”
Shen Yuan said, sitting on the sofa and holding Chen Na’s hand.
Hearing this, Chen Na felt her heart was about to melt. She looked at Shen Yuan with a face full of happiness.
Buying so many gifts in such a short time, driving over 200 kilometers to Ling County, and now laying it all out for her parents.
All of this was for her…
Chen Na was suddenly so grateful that she had made the right decision back then.
Gan Fengzhen’s mouth twitched. The acting skills of young people these days were really on point!
She had sensed something was off just now, and after hearing his age, she was even more certain of her judgment. Wasn’t he just a hired actor?
And he even said, “I hope you can bless us.”
Even Nana got into character and started acting along.
Really impressive!
The cigarettes, liquor, and jewelry were probably all fake.
Throughout this process, only Chen Xinyu completely believed it.
She stared blankly at her sister and brother-in-law. From their gazes and expressions, she saw happiness and sweetness. This meant that her sister and brother-in-law were truly in love!
Actually, she had also always longed for a passionate love affair.
She was so envious of her sister…
Chen Xinyu couldn’t help but size up this brother-in-law a few more times. Compared to the man in the shirt and trousers from earlier, she actually preferred this brother-in-law with the neighborly big brother vibe.
