Li Shengyun's gaze towards him was also a little different.
"Dad, Mom, why are you looking at Yang Zi like that? We're always joking around like this. Yang Zi is very good to me."
Li Minxi quickly explained.
"Young couples joking should have some limits, you can't just speak carelessly. There are no outsiders here.
What would others think if they heard this?" Xu Yifan said.
Since the deed was done, Xu Yifan could only tacitly accept the young couple.
"I know, Mom. I'll be careful from now on," Li Minxi said, sticking out her tongue.
"Since that's the case, I won't insist on keeping Xiao Xi home.
When Yang Zi returns safely next time, we'll properly plan their wedding," Li Shengyun said.
"That sounds good. I'll await your news then," Guo Yiyu said.
The meal was neither awkward nor decisive.
Although Li Shengyun felt she had lowered herself, Guo Yiyu still sensed the other party's aggressive stance.
There was no way around it, she was their daughter, after all, raised for over twenty years.
It wasn't easy to take her away.
"It's getting late, you shouldn't leave. I've already booked two rooms for you upstairs.
Tomorrow, let Xiao Xi take you sightseeing. Stay for two days before leaving?"
"You are too kind. Then we'll stay one night.
If there are no special circumstances tomorrow, we'll head back in the morning," Guo Yiyu said.
"I apologize for the inadequate hospitality today."
"Not at all, we should have been the hosts. You've spent too much."
"Then you go upstairs to rest, we'll be leaving now," Li Shengyun said as she walked out of the room.
The waiter quickly brought the room cards upstairs and handed them to Guo Xuyang.
Guo Yiyu and the others escorted Li Shengyun downstairs.
"Why are you still standing here? Hurry home," Guo Xuyang nudged Li Minxi.
"I'm not going back. I'll be interrogated again if I go back."
"As you wish."
"Xiao Xi, come back with me," Li Shengyun glanced at Li Minxi.
"Dad, I want to wake up early tomorrow to take Yang Zi and his parents to see the flag-raising ceremony, so I won't be coming back," Li Minxi used an excuse.
"You can come over tomorrow morning then."
"That would be too early, and I'm not feeling well, so I can't drive."
Li Shengyun glared at her and said no more.
"Then, could Xiao Xi stay with me tonight? I have trouble sleeping in a new environment," Wu Shangqing quickly said.
If she didn't speak up, Li Shengyun would eventually lose face.
"Then I'll trouble you, sister-in-law. Tomorrow, let Xiao Xi take you around before you leave. I won't see you off then," Xu Yifan said.
"You all go about your business. We are very grateful. You've spent too much."
"It's nothing. Oh, right. Take this back. I've accepted everything else, but I can't accept this."
Xu Yifan said as she took out the jewelry box from her bag.
"Auntie, this is a small token of my appreciation, please don't refuse. It wouldn't look good with so many people seeing.
You know, Yang Zi does this kind of business. It's just a small gesture, please accept it."
"Mom, please accept it. I'll get another one for Mom when I get back," Li Minxi said from the side.
Xu Yifan glared at her and didn't refuse any further.
Hearing Li Minxi call Wu Shangqing "Mom" made her feel a bit choked up.
A daughter grows up and leaves home; if you try to keep her, she might turn against you.
Since the deed was done, it was as it was.
After Li Shengyun and the other two left by car, Li Minxi asked, "Yang Zi, why did my mom glare at me just now?"
"Silly girl, your mom is worried," Guo Xuyang said with a chuckle, twisting her cheek, not daring to tell the truth.
"Worried about what?"
"That I've stolen you away."
"Then you have to treat me well from now on. I've even rebelled against my family for you."
"Is it that serious? How have you rebelled? Am I mistreating you by being with me?"
"What do you think?" Li Minxi said, about to twist his arm again.
"Alright, alright, it's all my fault. Let's go upstairs. Mom and Dad are waiting," Guo Xuyang quickly said, putting his arm around her shoulder.
As Li Shengyun entered the room, she angrily exclaimed to Xu Yifan, "Look at the daughter you've raised! So shameless."
"Is it my fault? I can't control her, you know that."
"Mom, Dad, please say a few less words.
Guo Xuyang is quite popular with women, so it's normal for Xiao Xi to be attracted to him. Moreover, he's very generous."
Li Minyu said from the side.
"It would be great if Xiao Xi could be half as good as you," Xu Yifan said.
Her mother's words made Li Minyu feel guilty. She wondered if they would still think that way if they found out about her relationship with Tong Xin.
"Mom, I saw you were holding a jewelry box from Zhenbaoge. My friends told me things there are not cheap."
"If you like it, I'll give it to you," Xu Yifan said, taking out the jewelry box.
"Really? Mom. That's great," Li Minyu said with a smile, taking it and opening the jewelry box.
"Wow, this is so beautiful?"
She put it on eagerly.
Wearing a glass-type imperial green necklace over a high-necked sweater truly elevated her entire aura.
"Doesn't it look good? Mom."
"It looks good. Xiao Yu, you're not young anymore. Don't you have anyone suitable?" Xu Yifan asked, looking at her beautiful daughter.
"Mom, those men are just looking for temporary pleasure, none of them are sincere."
"You can't think like that. It's normal for men to be lustful. As long as they are sincere about living with you, it's fine."
"There is one, but he's too fat, like a pig, and he's also unclear with Xiao Xi. They're always together."
"How is he? And why is he involved with Xiao Xi?"
"He's alright. He's been waiting for me for several years. Xiao Xi often bullies him and makes him pay."
"If he can accept Xiao Xi, it means he still has feelings for you. Otherwise, why would he pay attention to Xiao Xi?"
"His family isn't from here. After retiring, he started dealing in raw stones and jade?"
"He also sells jade?"
"Yes. He's now on the same team as Guo Xuyang, Guo Xuyang's downstream partner. Like Xiao Xi, they are both shareholders."
"When can you bring him to meet us? As long as his character is good, that's all that matters.
It's not easy to find someone so devoted these days.
If he's been waiting for you for so many years, it shows he's a good person."
"Don't you mind his humble background?"
"When have I ever minded such things? I haven't even minded Guo Xuyang.
Didn't your father check his background?
Didn't Xiao Xi also talk about Guo Xuyang during dinner? Didn't you hear what she said? A scumbag?"
"I never told you about Guo Xuyang because I was afraid you wouldn't agree to Xiao Xi's marriage.
He's very capable, but he attracts women. He has many women around him, and they're all involved with him."
