Chapter 380: Prospective Son-in-law, First Time

Chapter 380: Chapter 380: Prospective Son-in-law, First Time

This... left Yan Luoxi utterly astonished.

Seeing her expression, Gu Yizhou knew his preparations had hit the mark.

Since his future father-in-law was a tea aficionado, there was no way he would refuse the Da Hong Pao Mother Tea.

’This system really is the ultimate life-hack. Its arrangements are perfect.’

’Then again, with Yan Luoxi’s family background, her experience and perspective were naturally on a completely different level from ordinary people.’

"Yes, it really is Da Hong Pao Mother Tea. I prepared it specially for your father."

Gu Yizhou said with a nod.

"This..."

"But, I heard my dad say that you can’t buy Da Hong Pao Mother Tea on the market at all."

"How did you manage to get it?"

Yan Luoxi asked, her voice tinged with doubt.

She was genuinely surprised. ’This damn man had somehow quietly gotten his hands on Da Hong Pao Mother Tea from Wuyi Mountain.’

’After all, her father had once said this tea was a restricted-supply item. You could beg and plead all you wanted, but it was nearly impossible to buy even a single gram on the open market.’

’In her father’s circle, if someone managed to get even one gram, they would treasure it like gold.’

"Oh, that... I happen to know a friend who specializes in the tea business. A few days ago, I asked him to help me find some good tea, and he managed to get this for me."

Gu Yizhou spouted nonsense with a perfectly straight face.

’Couldn’t be helped.’

’He couldn’t just say the system gave it to him, could he?’

’Then again, saying it this way wasn’t exactly a lie, was it?’

’The system could be considered a friend, right?’

’Yeah... why couldn’t it be!’

’In any case, the Da Hong Pao Mother Tea was definitely authentic.’

’As soon as his tea-loving future father-in-law tasted it, he would surely be able to tell.’

"Fine."

"You really spared no expense."

Since Gu Yizhou had said that, what else could Yan Luoxi say?

’Thinking about everything that had happened...’

’She always felt this damn man was shrouded in mystery. He could even get his hands on insider financial information.’

’And now, he had even managed to obtain Da Hong Pao Mother Tea, something virtually unobtainable on the market!’

’Oh, right!’

’And that box of bird’s nest—one glance was enough to tell it wasn’t any ordinary kind.’

’This damn man, oh, this damn man.’

’Just how many secrets are you hiding from me?’

For a moment, Yan Luoxi’s mind raced with countless thoughts.

...

"What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Is the tea not good enough?"

Gu Yizhou rubbed the tip of his nose, a little sheepishly.

"No."

Yan Luoxi shook her head. "It’s not that it’s not good enough. It’s *too* good!"

"My dad is definitely going to accept you as his son-in-law now."

’Yes!’

’Knowing her father, once he saw this Da Hong Pao Mother Tea, he’d probably be so thrilled he’d want to become sworn brothers with this damn man.’

’The mere thought of that scene left Yan Luoxi speechless.’

’And her mom would definitely be overjoyed to see the bird’s nest, though she wasn’t sure if her mother would still try to give this damn man a hard time.’

But regardless, Gu Yizhou’s thoughtful gesture this time was truly impeccable.

He had clearly put a great deal of thought into preparing these gifts.

"Haha, that’s good to hear."

Gu Yizhou said with a laugh.

Since his girlfriend had said as much, there probably wouldn’t be any major issues.

"Then... shall we get going?"

Gu Yizhou suggested.

"Mhm."

Yan Luoxi nodded.

"Let’s go. I think the butler told my parents I was coming home, so they should be waiting for us," she said softly.

VROOOM—!!

Gu Yizhou started the car, and the engine roared to life.

「Over half an hour later.」

The two of them drove to the entrance of the Mountain Peak Villa District of Modu.

"We’re here," Yan Luoxi said.

"Mhm."

Gu Yizhou nodded and took a deep breath. Although he was fully prepared and had even met Yan Luoxi’s parents before, he still felt a little nervous now that he was actually here.

It was actually quite normal.

Across two lifetimes, this was Gu Yizhou’s first time being in a relationship, and his first time meeting his girlfriend’s parents in this capacity.

He was only human, after all!

It would be strange if he weren’t nervous.

Gazing at the sprawling cluster of villas, Gu Yizhou felt a mix of emotions.

The Mountain Peak Villa District was the most exclusive residential area in Modu.

The people who lived here were either fabulously wealthy or highly influential.

Any given villa in the Mountain Peak Villa District was currently valued at over a hundred million yuan, far beyond the reach of any ordinary person.

With his current savings, Gu Yizhou really couldn’t afford a villa here.

And yet, this house was just one of the Yan Family’s many properties.

A hundred-billion-dollar corporation, after all!

The Yan Family’s power was no joke.

If the upper-class society of Modu found out that Gu Yizhou was dating Yan Luoxi, they would probably die of envy.

In other words, by being with Yan Luoxi, Gu Yizhou was basically taking a shortcut that would let him bypass a lifetime of struggle.

After all, not everyone was aware of Gu Yizhou’s own capabilities.

It would be perfectly normal for people to assume he was just a freeloader.

Of course.

No one would actually laugh at him, though.

They wouldn’t even have time, what with all the envy!

’A true man!’

’A role model for our generation!’

...

Soon, the two of them drove up to the entrance of the villa’s estate.

Gu Yizhou was quite familiar with the place.

After all, he had been here when he dropped off Yan Luoxi’s mother last time.

However, last time he had only come to the gate and hadn’t gone inside.

"Good day. Non-residents are not permitted to enter."

Gu Yizhou’s car was stopped by security guards at the first entrance to the villa district.

The security here was extremely strict; they absolutely did not allow non-residents to enter.

Seeing this, Yan Luoxi, who was in the passenger seat, immediately lowered her window. She spoke to the guard in a cool tone, "Please open the gate. I’m a resident."

"Hm?"

The security guard glanced over and immediately recognized Yan Luoxi.

It couldn’t be helped.

The hundred-billion-dollar female CEO of Modu’s Tidal Group, the apple of the Yan Family’s eye.

Forget the security guards of this community—was there anyone of any standing in all of Modu who didn’t recognize her?

"Oh, it’s Miss Yan! Good day, good day..."

"However, we still need to register the vehicle before it can enter."

Upon seeing Yan Luoxi, the security guard’s attitude changed instantly.

But he still very responsibly logged the information for Gu Yizhou’s car.

This was perfectly normal, of course.

As a top-tier residential area for the ultra-wealthy, the security was naturally stringent.

The security guards’ basic professional duty was to memorize the face of every resident and provide them with excellent service.

After all, every single resident living in the Mountain Peak Villa District had an extraordinary status and background.

If they did their job poorly, a single complaint from any resident would be enough to get them fired on the spot.

Moreover, Yan Luoxi’s status was particularly distinguished, so it was only natural that they recognized her instantly.

After the registration was complete, he waved the two of them through.

As long as the registration was properly handled, residents were permitted to escort guests inside.

The properties here were all detached, single-family villas.

Furthermore, each villa had a unique style. The larger the lot and the better the amenities, the more expensive it was, naturally.

The Yan Family’s home was Villa No. 8, a standalone estate.

The surrounding area, covering several square kilometers, was all part of the Villa No. 8 estate—a testament to the family’s extraordinary power!
