40 -36: The Gift

“Dad, has Su Chen arrived?” While everyone was waiting for Su Chen, Lin Lanxin, with her mother Guo Qin’s arm in hers, came down from upstairs.

It was clear that Lin Lanxin had dressed up carefully.

She wore a long purple lace dress, white stockings, and purple kitten heels, with her long black hair cascading over her shoulders.

Her pretty face was lightly made up, her beautiful eyes bright with anticipation.

“No!” Lin Tonghai shook his head, suddenly feeling some regret.

He could tell that his daughter was genuinely happy—she had really fallen for Su Chen!

If his daughter knew what was in her father’s heart, to humiliate Su Chen and force him to withdraw, she would be heartbroken.

However, the feeling of regret was only a momentary flicker.

Then, he calmed down.

For his daughter’s future happiness, he had to be the ‘bad guy,’ even if it meant his daughter might hate him later.

“Lanxin, you look truly beautiful today!” Lin Fen said with a smile the next second.

Although her face wore a smile, her heart was filled with even greater jealousy!!!

Even though Lin Fen was reluctant to admit it, the fact was, Lin Lanxin’s beauty was indeed top-notch.

Compared to her, Lin Fen fell far short, no matter how much high-end makeup she used or how heavily she applied it.

“Lanxin has been beautiful since she was a child.

She’s the most beautiful in Chengfeng, my niece!” Lin Tongzhi also praised, but then she added with a shift in her tone, “Because of this, my son-in-law must be exceptionally outstanding; otherwise, I will not agree!”

“Auntie, Su Chen is very outstanding!” Lin Lanxin whispered softly.

She was not a talkative person, nor was she the type to boast.

Thus, she kept quiet about how Su Chen had put Xu Ming, Liu Buyu, and even excelled in school these past few days.

But she was certain that Su Chen was outstanding, even though she didn’t know how he had suddenly become so exceptional.

“Whether or not he’s outstanding, we’ll find out soon enough!” Lin Tongzhi smiled, her voice tinged with a hint of sarcasm, “Good horse, bad horse, you’ll know once you take it out for a run.”

What Lin Tongzhi meant by ‘taking it out for a run’ was naturally Su Chen’s performance on his visit today.

“Dad, Uncle, Aunt, please don’t be too harsh on Su Chen!” Lin Lanxin suddenly said, very seriously.

“I know what I’m doing!” Lin Tonghai said lightly.

“Mom…” Lin Lanxin felt a bad premonition and couldn’t help but look at Guo Qin beside her, “Mom, please say something!”

“Lanxin, if Su Chen can’t even pass this test today, you two won’t be happy in the future!” Guo Qin whispered softly, with a sigh in her heart.

Last night, she had asked Lin Tonghai and, of course, had learned about their plans to embarrass and humiliate Su Chen today, but she couldn’t change Lin Tonghai’s mind.

“Mom, if they go too far, I won’t forgive them!” Lin Lanxin bit her lip, her beautiful face now showing traces of anger and worry.

“Alright, Lanxin, cheer up.

In any case, today is Su Chen’s first visit.

If you’re not happy, it will make others even more…”

Lin Lanxin nodded, saying no more.

Time passed by, second by second.

About half an hour later.

He’s here!!!

Su Chen had arrived.

Su Chen was dressed in clothes that Mu Ziling had helped him pick out at the Xinfeng Tiandi Shopping Mall yesterday.

They fit well and were luxurious, making Su Chen look very handsome.

“Su Chen, you’re here…” Lin Lanxin greeted him right away.

“He’s absolutely handsome!” Guo Qin had a very good first impression of Su Chen.

“The suit on him is from Versace, and the shoes are from world-famous brands.

Heh…

I wonder where he got the money from?

It couldn’t have been Lanxin who bought them for him, could it?” Lin Fen snorted displeasedly, feeling unsettled by the fact that, in terms of pure appearance, her man Zheng Li couldn’t compare to Su Chen.

Hearing Lin Fen’s mutter, Lin Tonghai’s brow furrowed slightly, his impression of Su Chen worsening.

He also believed it, having checked Su Chen’s background and found that Su Chen couldn’t possibly afford designer labels.

“Su Chen, my dad and my relatives here might give you a hard time, just…be careful!” Lin Lanxin whispered to him.

Su Chen smiled and nodded.

Soon, Lin Lanxin, holding Su Chen’s hand, had already walked into the Lin Family’s villa hall.

At this moment, Lin Tonghai, Guo Qin, Lin Tongchuan, and Lin Tongzhi were sitting on the sofa, while Zheng Li and Lin Fen were standing.

“Mom, Dad, this is my boyfriend, Su Chen.

Su Chen, these are my parents, and also my uncle, aunt, cousin, and cousin-in-law!” Lin Lanxin introduced them.

“Hello uncle, aunt, uncle, aunt, cousin, cousin-in-law!” Su Chen looked at Lin Tonghai and Guo Qin and said respectfully.

Lin Lanxin knew that apart from her mother, Guo Qin, everyone today would try to make things difficult for her, but Su Chen still greeted them, as politeness was necessary.

“Su Chen, right?

Lanxin talks about you every day.

Come, come, have a seat!” Guo Qin stood up enthusiastically, while the others didn’t make a sound, let alone stand up.

“Thank you, Auntie!” Su Chen hummed in response and walked with Lin Lanxin to the couch and sat down.

“Came empty-handed?” Lin Tongzhi was the first to challenge him as soon as he sat down.

It was his first visit, and he should have brought some gifts.

Su Chen’s empty hands were immediately seized upon.

“Dad, did Lii bring anything the first time he visited?” Lin Fen immediately asked her father, Lin Tongchuan.

“Of course he did.

Back then, Lii was just starting his career and didn’t have much money, but he brought two bottles of Maotai, a box of Longjing tea, and some other things.

I can’t remember clearly!” Lin Tongchuan said with a smile, completely satisfied with his son-in-law.

“Hmph!” Lin Tonghai had already been displeased with Su Chen arriving empty-handed, and now, with Lin Fen and Lin Tongchuan saying this and comparing him to Zheng Li, it made him even more disgruntled, and he huffed loudly.

“They are still children after all. novelbuddy.cσ๓

What could they possibly need that we don’t already have at home?” Guo Qin quickly spoke up for Su Chen.

“Dad, I’ll make it up next time!” Lin Lanxin also quickly added, feeling somewhat guilty for not reminding Su Chen in advance, which led to his forgetfulness.

“Uncle, Auntie, I did bring gifts!” Just then, Su Chen spoke up.

Previously, he had remained silent through the criticisms from Lin Fen, Lin Tongchuan, and Lin Tongzhi, choosing not to respond directly until everyone had finished speaking.

Moreover, he was very calm and composed.

“Hehe…” Lin Fen scoffed coldly, exaggeratingly glancing at Su Chen’s left and right hands, obviously insinuating that Su Chen, with both hands empty, had brought no gifts at all.

Lin Lanxin grew anxious.

It was a small mistake for Su Chen not to bring gifts, but if he lied about it so overtly, that would indeed cost him many impression points.

“Here is my gift for uncle and auntie!” Su Chen pulled out a beautifully crafted pouch from his bosom and placed it on the coffee table.

The pouch was not big.

As Su Chen took it out, all eyes turned to the pouch.

Lin Fen, Zheng Li, Lin Tongchuan, and others had a hint of mockery in their eyes.

What could such a tiny pouch contain?

Was this gift meant to be an insult?

Sure enough, Lin Tonghai’s expression darkened instantly, even Guo Qin frowned slightly.

“What gift is it?” Lin Lanxin, curious, grabbed the pouch.

She took out two small boxes from the pouch.

Each box was only the size of a palm.

Then, Lin Lanxin opened both boxes.

“This is a pipe for uncle, and this is a ring for auntie,” Su Chen briefly described.

“How beautiful!” Lin Lanxin was full of surprise, staring at the ring, which was entirely jade green and dazzlingly bright, shimmering like green waves.

Lin Fen’s eyes narrowed slightly, disbelief growing within her!

Putting aside the pipe, the ring’s quality looked incredibly good.

Jade?

Impossible!!!

If it were real jade, with such fine quality, how much would it cost?

Surely in the millions?

An orphan, a first-year student from a third-rate university, spending millions on a jade ring?

Hehe…

What a bad joke.
