This time, Ye Bowen found people with some skills. Li Se had to be vigilant. The Ye family indeed had some capabilities. He had heard Sun Bai mention before that the Chu family was also a top aristocratic family in the capital, and he didn't expect them to have a good relationship with the Ye family.
"Li Se, was that Ye Bowen just now?" Huang Shanshan asked curiously.
"Mm!" Li Se nodded. "Right now, the person who wants me gone the most in the entire capital is probably him."
Huang Shanshan's expression slightly tightened, and she said, "You still need to be careful with these big families. You know someone from the Chu family this time, but if he finds someone you don't know next time, it will be a lot of trouble."
She paused and then snorted coldly, "But you're really a playboy. Don't think I don't know, you're fighting with this Ye Bowen for a fiancée!"
"That, Shanshan, it's a misunderstanding. I explained it to you earlier..." Li Se was very depressed and could only continue to explain, while Huang Shanshan looked like she wasn't listening.
Time quickly passed to the next day. Li Se and Huang Shanshan got up early. They were going to the airport today to pick up Huang Shanshan's parents.
"Don't you have a suit?" Huang Shanshan asked curiously. Although she didn't care about her parents' opinions, a good first impression was important.
"No," Li Se thought for a moment and said, "Shall we go buy one now?"
"Forget it, it's all the same what you wear," Huang Shanshan smiled.
Since they had only been in the capital for a short time and hadn't bought a car, they temporarily got a Passat to go to the airport. After waiting for about ten minutes, they saw a middle-aged couple walking towards the airport exit.
"Shanshan, long time no see!" This middle-aged couple was Huang Shanshan's parents.
"Long time no see," Huang Shanshan's attitude was relatively calm.
"Who is this?" Huang Zhenguo noticed Li Se and couldn't help but size him up. After a while, his brows furrowed slightly.
Huang Shanshan's mother, Zhu Manyin, had a flicker of disdain in her eyes. Judging by the expressions of both of them, their first impression of Li Se was clearly not good.
"My boyfriend, Li Se," Huang Shanshan introduced.
"Oh, what does he do?" Huang Zhenguo asked.
"Uncle, Aunt, I am a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and I run my own medical clinic," Li Se said with a smile.
"Traditional Chinese Medicine?" The couple exchanged glances, and their eyes became more contemptuous. Although Mr. Huang was a TCM practitioner, this couple did not believe in TCM at all, which was why they had gone abroad for further studies.
"You opened a medical clinic at such a young age, hehe. If people didn't know, they would think your medical skills were amazing. And I remember that to be proficient in TCM, one must be very old, right? You're out treating people at this age, aren't you afraid of making mistakes?" Huang Zhenguo's tone was somewhat sarcastic.
"Dad, Li Se's medical skills are even trusted by Grandpa..." Huang Shanshan immediately spoke up for Li Se.
"Shanshan, what do you understand?" Zhu Manyin interrupted Huang Shanshan. "How good can traditional Chinese medicine be? Western medicine is the mainstream now. Look at your dad and me, we returned from studying abroad, and now many major hospitals want to invite us to develop in China. Can TCM get this kind of treatment? Or do you plan for him to earn only a little bit each month like your grandfather?"
Huang Shanshan frowned and said, "I don't care how much money he earns, I just like him!"
"You foolish girl, can liking be eaten? You'll know how bitter life will be later. Besides, at his age, even if he really opened a clinic, would there be any business? And it's traditional Chinese medicine, how many people would believe his medical skills?" Zhu Manyin shook her head. She had returned this time to worry about her daughter's marriage, and how could she agree to her daughter marrying such an ordinary person?
"Forget it, let's leave here first," Huang Zhenguo was too lazy to say anything more now.
"Uncle, Aunt, please get in the car," Li Se said, not getting angry. If he were penniless and spoken to like this, he might have been a little angry, but being spoken to like this when he had money made him feel indifferent. Since he had money in his pocket, why fear being called a pauper?
"Volkswagen?" Huang Zhenguo frowned when he saw Li Se's car.
"How can people sit in this car?" Zhu Manyin said with some displeasure.
Li Se was speechless and suddenly didn't know how to respond. What was wrong with this car?
"Dad, Mom, if you feel like you can't fit, you can go get a taxi. You can get a special car service in Beijing, and maybe you can even hail a luxury car," Huang Shanshan said unhappily.
DiDi!
Just then, a Mercedes-Benz S-Class drove over and stopped in front of them. The car window was rolled down, and a rather handsome head emerged, waving towards them. "Uncle, Aunt, I'm here to pick you up. Please ride in my car."
"Hongyun? Why are you here?" Zhu Manyin said with some surprise.
"Auntie, I heard you were returning today, so I came to pick you up," Zhou Hongyun said with a smile. He also noticed the car Li Se was driving and felt a bit disdainful. Was he trying to steal his woman with a Volkswagen?
"Go, Shanshan, let's ride in Hongyun's car. You've met before. You're really something, coming to Beijing and not looking for Hongyun?" Zhu Manyin grabbed Huang Shanshan's hand and was about to move towards Zhou Hongyun.
This Zhou Hongyun used to be a neighbor of Huang Shanshan's family, but he later developed in Beijing and was now doing quite well.
"No need, I'm riding in my man's car!" Huang Shanshan broke free from Zhu Manyin's hand and said lightly.
"You child..." Zhu Manyin was somewhat displeased.
"Alright, let's just go sit in it," Huang Zhenguo didn't want to argue at the airport, as it wasn't a good look.
Zhou Hongyun was somewhat displeased but didn't say much, only adding, "Then I'll see you at the Sky Garden restaurant. I've booked a table there."
"Sky Garden restaurant, I've heard of it. I heard that to dine there, your assets must be over a hundred million?" Zhu Manyin, though abroad, knew some things about what was happening in China.
"Yes, but for me, it's just a small matter," Zhou Hongyun said very humbly.
Soon, the two cars headed for the Sky Garden restaurant. Upon arriving, Zhou Hongyun pointed to the nearby villas and said, "This area is Donghai Villa. Any villa here starts at fifty million. I happen to have a villa here. Uncle, Aunt, since you're new to Beijing, you don't need to stay at a hotel. You can just stay at my villa."
"Then thank you, Hongyun," Huang Zhenguo said with a smile. He was very satisfied. This Zhou Hongyun was a talented young man in terms of both family background and strength. In contrast, Li Se looked very ordinary, drove a Volkswagen, and was, more importantly, a TCM practitioner. This was far from the son-in-law he had envisioned.
