Chapter 50: Mr. Yan’s Utmost Excitement
Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Mr. Yan’s Utmost Excitement
“He Bowen?”
“I remember now, you’re Yu Ling’s nephew, right?”
After hearing He Bowen’s introduction, Yan Luoshui’s mother suddenly understood.
So he was the one who was introduced to Luoshui by her friend.
“Yes, Auntie.”
He Bowen said with a smile.
He came to the airport today only after hearing from his aunt that Yan Luoshui’s parents would be arriving in Jiangzhou.
“You seem nice, He. A fine young man.”
Yan Luoshui’s mother was quite satisfied looking at He Bowen, since he was introduced by her friend.
As for Yan Luoshui’s father, he just nodded and didn’t say much, appearing very calm.
“Oh, by the way, Auntie, I brought a small gift.”
While speaking, He Bowen took out an exquisite wooden box.
Opening the box, inside lay a very beautiful small bowl.
“This is a fine piece from the imperial kiln—a pastels bowl with auspicious motifs and concealed dragon pattern.”
Imperial kiln treasure?
“The design is dignified and elegant, with a glossy, smooth glaze. It’s a fine piece, shouldn’t be cheap.”
Yan’s mother immediately recognized the extraordinariness of this pastels bowl with concealed dragon pattern.
“But it’s just over ten million. Auntie, you have to accept it.”
He Bowen “humbly” said.
“He, I appreciate your thought, but it’s better if you take the gift back.”
Yan’s mother spoke. Though over ten million was not much to the Yan Family, accepting such an expensive gift on the first meeting felt inappropriate.
“It’s not an overly expensive gift, Auntie, don’t refuse.” He Bowen insisted.
“Mom and Dad, this is my boyfriend Chu Chen.”
Yan Luoshui couldn’t stand it anymore and directly introduced Chu Chen.
Hmm?
Upon hearing this, Yan Luoshui’s parents and He Bowen were taken aback, completely unexpected.
They thought Chu Chen was one of Yan Luoshui’s employees.
“Luoshui, you have a boyfriend?”
Father Yan finally spoke, quite surprised.
“Yes, when did this happen, and why didn’t you tell us sooner?” Mother Yan also inquired.
“Chu Chen and I just started dating not long ago.” Yan Luoshui explained.
“Hello, Uncle and Auntie.”
At this point, Chu Chen spoke up.
“Hello.”
Father Yan and Mother Yan responded.
At this moment, Mother Yan felt a bit awkward. Earlier, she praised He Bowen, and now Luoshui turned out to have a boyfriend.
“Oh, you’re Luoshui’s boyfriend?”
He Bowen accused Chu Chen at gunpoint,
“Meeting for the first time and coming empty-handed? That’s quite rude.”
Upon hearing this, Mother Yan’s expression slightly changed.
Although He Bowen’s words carried a sting, they had a point.
Mother Yan, born into a scholarly family, emphasized etiquette.
Coming empty-handed to meet elders for the first time did seem inappropriate.
It didn’t matter how expensive the gift was, even a small token like some fruit showed the importance of the first meeting.
Being empty-handed just didn’t seem right.
At first glance, Mother Yan was not impressed with Chu Chen.
“Huh?”
Yan Luoshui was taken aback. In a hurry, how did she forget about this?
“Uh, actually…”
Yan Luoshui wanted to explain to Chu Chen, but Chu Chen stopped her.
“Auntie, Uncle, I also prepared a gift, but it’s a bit large and inconvenient to carry, it’s at my place.”
Chu Chen gave Yan Luoshui a reassuring look.
Hearing this, Yan Luoshui felt a warmth inside. Was Chu Chen taking the fake boyfriend role so seriously that he prepared everything?
“Heh.”
He Bowen sneered, completely disbelieving Chu Chen’s words.
Surely the kid forgot to bring a gift and came up with this excuse.
Even if, for argument’s sake, the kid had a gift, how could it compare to his imperial kiln treasure?
You must know, he went to great lengths and spent a lot of money to find this pastels bowl with concealed dragon pattern.
According to his aunt, Yan Luoshui’s mother liked collecting porcelain.
“Mom, Dad, let’s go home.”
Yan Luoshui spoke up.
In the end, Chu Chen and Yan Luoshui’s parents sat in Yan Luoshui’s car, and He Bowen drove himself, all heading to Yuetan Garden.
Twenty minutes later, they arrived at Yuetan Garden.
“Uncle, Auntie, the gift is in my villa, why don’t we go take a look first?”
Chu Chen spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Father Yan and Mother Yan were taken aback. What kind of gift needed to be seen?
For a moment, Mother Yan’s favorability towards Chu Chen dropped once again.
“Alright then.”
Yan Luoshui accompanied her parents towards Chu Chen’s villa.
Behind them, He Bowen snorted.
“Kid, I warn you, Yan Luoshui is mine, watch yourself.”
He Bowen came up beside Chu Chen, lowered his voice, and threatened him in his ear.
“I want to see what you can present that’s better than mine.”
He Bowen was incredibly confident that his imperial kiln treasure was the best.
With that, He Bowen walked arrogantly ahead.
Chu Chen shook his head helplessly.
Being humble like himself was the right way; this He Bowen was far from it.
Upon entering the villa, Chu Chen calmly said,
“This is the small gift I prepared for Uncle.”
Upon seeing the rack, everyone was stunned.
This gift was indeed large and difficult to move.
But what was the meaning of giving a rack?
“Ha ha ha, a broken rack, are you insulting Uncle and Auntie?”
He Bowen criticized Chu Chen.
“You…”
Before He Bowen could finish his sentence, he saw Father Yan, initially calm, suddenly reveal an incredulous expression and hurriedly walk forward.
“This… this… how is this possible?”
“How could this be?”
Looking at the chemical elements on the rack, Father Yan was stunned.
Because her husband had been involved in chemistry research for years, Mother Yan had some understanding of chemistry as well. She stepped forward, and the next second, she froze too.
Seeing the shocked expressions on Father Yan and Mother Yan, He Bowen was bewildered, wondering what was wrong with them.
Walking forward, He Bowen was stupefied. Was this a real periodic table of elements?
“Hmph, it’s just some chemical elements, it’s not even something expensive.”
He Bowen shook his head.
However, as soon as He Bowen finished speaking, Father Yan sternly chastised him.
“What nonsense are you talking?”
“Do you know how much effort and thought it takes to collect these many chemical elements?”
To tell the truth, Father Yan had thought about it before, but after several years, he gave up; it was something he thought impossible to accomplish.
But he never expected that today, here, would be the day his dream was realized.
“Uncle, how about this small gift?”
Chu Chen inquired.
“It’s amazing, truly amazing.”
Father Yan was incredibly excited, looking at Chu Chen as if he saw a kindred spirit.
Regaining his senses, Father Yan spoke,
“No, no, I can’t accept it, these chemical elements are worth at least several hundred million, it’s too expensive for me to accept!”
Hearing Father Yan’s words, everyone present, even Mother Yan, was stunned.
Several hundred million?
They knew these things were valuable, but never expected them to be so terrifyingly costly! @@novelbin@@
That it would take several hundred million!
Was this what Chu Chen called a small gift?
“This…”
He Bowen was equally shocked, several hundred million, this rack cost several hundred million?
This was dozens of times more than his porcelain from the imperial kiln!
How could this be?
This was an enormous effort.
In the next second, Father Yan suddenly gripped Chu Chen’s hand.
What do you think?
