Chapter 428: Chapter 429: First Arrival at the Li Family (1)
If the Li Family members donât look at social status, thatâs fine, but if theyâre the kind who climb up the social ladder, she really canât handle them.
"Nini, why are you sweating on your face? Are you feeling hot right now?"
"Tingyan, Iâm a bit worried. Arenât your parents planning for you to marry Chu Huan? Do you think theyâll have a problem with me later?"
Nianyang was also someone who had been through various storms, but when it came to interacting with her future mother-in-law, she was really a bit panicked. But this was Li Tingyanâs mother; if she disliked her, Nianyang couldnât show her dissatisfaction, or it would be disrespectful to the elder.
Li Tingyan frowned, "Wife, havenât I already told you? Iâm introducing you to my parents just to notify them of your presence. Frankly, their opinions donât matter."
Nianyang looked down, "Tingyan, your perspective is too narrow. They are your parents, after all. Without them, there wouldnât be you, and there wouldnât be us now.
And I donât want our marriage to be without parental blessings; it wouldnât only cause unhappiness, it wouldnât be good for your reputation either."
By then, people would say that Mr. Li is a classic example of forgetting his mother after getting a wife.
Li Tingyan felt heartbroken seeing his wife being so cautious. His Nini, always so brave, was now compromising for his sake.
"Nini, if youâre not ready yet, why donât we not go home? I can take you to live in the apartment allocated to me by the company. When we finalize the wedding date, Iâll take you home directly, okay?"
"Your parents would probably die of anger, and they would hate me more." Nianyang glanced at him,
"Alright, alright, Iâm just complaining. Anyway, Iâve chosen you, and eventually, I have to meet your parents. Iâll try my best to perform well, and if your parents really canât stand me, we can just move out!"
The train squealed noisily along the tracks.
Li Tingyan wrapped a large hand around her waist, "Nini, you donât have to worry. My parents are very reasonable. The reason they wanted me to marry Chu Huan is because Iâve known her since childhood and havenât interacted with other girls, so they blindly matched us. Once I take you back, theyâll understand."
"Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Li Tingyan slightly raised the corner of his lips,
"Nini, let me tell you about my family.
My late grandparents had two sons; my dad is the eldest and lives in the Big Courtyard with his younger brother and my uncle and aunt.
Iâm the eldest son of my parents, and I have a younger sister, Li Xinya, whoâs currently in high school, a cousin, Li Siqi, whoâs just started middle school, and my cousin Li Dongnan and his newly married wife."
Nianyang was stunned, "Your family has so many members, and they all live together. Isnât it crowded?"
"We live in the Big Courtyard, which has attached villas. Itâs the largest house in the courtyard besides the Chu Familyâs, so itâs spacious enough for so many people. Since my family is very harmonious and everyone likes the lively atmosphere, weâve never split up."
After Li Tingyanâs explanation, Nianyang realized that the Li Family is genuinely outstanding.
Li Tingyanâs father is the second-in-command at an investment bank, his uncle is with the security office in Pingjing, and his cousin and wife also opened a cosmetics store this year to do business.
Nianyang immediately felt relieved, seeing that the Li Family is quite wealthy and resourceful; thereâs no need to cozy up to the Chu Family.
