Chapter 215 Meeting the Parents
In fact, Lu Cheng wanted to bring Xu Hongdou home a few days ago to get to know the family in advance and move in with them as soon as possible.
But Xu Hongdou didn't want to abandon Chen Nanxing so quickly and wanted to spend more time with her good sister.
On the way back, Xu Hongdou was still a little curious: "I heard you say before that you live near the Forbidden City. But I have never seen a mansion near the Forbidden City. I can broaden my horizons today."
"This will be your own home from now on. I've been waiting for you to move in with me."
"I don't want to move in so soon. I need to spend more time with Nan Nan."
"It's okay. Our house has a lot of rooms. It's vacant anyway. You can come and live with Nanxing."
"Nannan won't come over."
As they were talking, the two first came to the Soviet-style courtyard house on Nanchizi Street.
When she stepped into the courtyard and walked into the luxuriously decorated hall, looking at the spacious environment and elegant decoration, even though Xu Hongdou had been mentally prepared, she still couldn't help but be a little shocked: "This is really a luxury house. We are in the same city, but the difference is really big."
"These are all left to me by my parents. I was just born into a good family. Besides, isn't mine yours? No matter how good this house is, it will seem lonely without a mistress. I moved to this house because I felt that the other house was too big."
"Ah? Isn't this house the biggest?"
"Of course, we have six courtyards in total. This one is relatively small, but it has a better location. The other large one is also in the Pudu Temple next to the Forbidden City. You take a look around first, and we'll go to the other one later."
As he spoke, Lu Cheng took Xu Hongdou to look at the layout of the entire yard and then looked at every room.
This courtyard house covers an area of more than 400 square meters, but only one room is used as a bedroom. The others include a living room, dining room, KTV, kitchen, utility room, etc. There are two dining rooms alone, one large and one small.
In addition to living there, this courtyard is mainly used to entertain guests.
After looking at the whole yard, Xu Hongdou was also a little excited. Although she was not a materialistic woman, the man she liked happened to be a wealthy man, which woman would not be happy?
When material life is abundant enough, many small conflicts in life will not arise at all, and the next generation will also be able to enjoy better conditions in the future.
After leaving the Su-style courtyard house on Nanchizi Street, Lu Cheng brought Xu Hongdou to the two-story courtyard house in the back alley of Pudu Temple.
Although she had seen the courtyard house before, Xu Hongdou was shocked again.
"It's really poverty that limits my imagination. Such a nice mansion, I'm afraid it's hard for ordinary people to buy it even if they are rich, right?"
"These were all given by my father. If it were me, I would never be able to afford such a house even if I worked hard all my life."
The father of this identity is virtualized by the system, but the system father can also be considered a "daddy".
"Nan Nan always joked that my sister was a wealthy lady before, but now that I see your yard, I know what a wealthy family is."
"This is our family's. From now on, you will be a real rich lady."
Xu Hongdou's elder sister Xu Hongmi married a local of Shanghai, which is not very prominent in Shanghai. Of course, Xu Hongmi herself is a strong woman, a company executive with an annual income of over one million, which is indeed not simple.
Not only that, Xu Hongmi also trained her Shanghai husband to be obedient. He is a senior executive in the company and also has a dominant position at home.
When Xu Hongdou thought about how she had been outshined by her sister all these years, she felt secretly delighted. This was considered surpassing her sister in some way.
At this time, Lu Cheng said: "You can see that our family conditions are still very good. If you don't want to work anymore, you don't have to work. I will support you."
"I don't want to spend your money. It makes me seem like I'm really a sugar daddy. I can work myself. Besides, if I don't work, I really don't know what I can do."
"You can work, too. If you want to be a boss, our family also has several hotels that you can manage. In addition to hotels, we also have some other businesses. I usually leave them to my subordinates to take care of."
"That's not necessary. I know my own limitations. Right now, I don't have the ability to manage a hotel on my own, let alone anything else. Besides, we're not even a family."
"How can it not be considered as such? Xu Hongdou, do you still want to escape from my grasp in this life? I tell you, there is no way, no window. In two days I will accompany you to Shandong to meet your parents, so that you can win the approval of your father-in-law and mother-in-law as soon as possible, and marry you into the family sooner."
"So soon? How long have we been officially dating?"
"Not so fast. I've been waiting for more than 30 years. I can't wait to get a household registration book with you. You can't bear to let me be the only one in my household registration book, right?"
"Uh, I was defeated by you, and I haven't even told my parents yet."
I don’t know if it was God’s will or coincidence, but at this moment, Xu Hongdou’s cell phone suddenly rang. When she opened it, it was a video request from Xu Hongdou’s parents.
Xu Hongdou quickly walked to the side and turned on the video: "Dad, Mom, why are you calling at this time?"
"Kid, you haven't called home in a few days? Didn't you say you changed jobs before? How is your new job? Are you used to it?"
Xu Hongdou glanced at Lu Cheng beside her and said, "It's OK. Although this hotel is a four-star hotel, the benefits are much better than before. Besides, I am now the director of the housekeeping department. After getting familiar with the work recently, I am not as busy as before."
The Xu family's parents chatted for a while and asked some questions. The sharp-eyed mother of the Xu family suddenly saw Lu Cheng sticking half of his head out of the corner. She also noticed that something was wrong with the surrounding environment, so she asked: "Dou, where are you now? Who was that young man just now?"
Xu Hongdou was about to explain when Lu Cheng took the initiative to walk in front of the camera: "Hello, uncle and auntie, my name is Lu Cheng, Hongdou's boyfriend."
In fact, Xu’s parents recognized Lu Cheng as soon as he walked out.
They had seen Lu Cheng's photos on the official website of Dongzhimen Hospital at the beginning. Later, when Xu Hongdou and the other two were traveling in Yunmiao Village, they took a lot of photos and videos. Xu Hongdou also sent some of them to her parents, including photos and videos of Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng has a handsome and sunny appearance, with top-notch looks and temperament, and Xu's parents were deeply impressed by him.
But what the old couple didn't expect was that Lu Cheng actually said that he was their daughter's boyfriend.
Xu's parents on the other end of the phone immediately came to the camera and looked at Xu Hongdou: "Dou, what's going on? Why didn't you tell your parents?"
Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes at Lu Cheng, then turned to look at her parents: "Dad, Mom, we just confirmed our relationship, I haven't had time to inform you yet. This is Lu Cheng, I told you before, we are indeed in a relationship now."
Lu Cheng came up again: "Hello, uncle and aunt, Hongdou and I just said that we would go to our hometown to visit you."
Xu's mother took a closer look at Lu Cheng, and thinking of his series of achievements, she became more and more satisfied with this young and handsome guy, and nodded immediately: "Hey, it's good to come and take a look..."
