Chapter 381: Chapter 381: Ms. Tang’s Shock? I Do Not Approve of This Marriage

「Two and a half minutes later.」

Gu Yizhou, driving the black Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen, arrived outside Villa No. 8 with Yan Luoxi.

The car slowly came to a stop.

"Are... are you nervous?"

Yan Luoxi asked quietly.

"Hmm?"

Hearing her, Gu Yizhou turned to glance at her and said coolly, "Uh... no."

’How could he admit to being scared at a time like this!’

’In short, if anyone asks, the answer is no!’

Yan Luoxi: ...-_-||

’This frustrating man.’

’You’re a terrible liar, you know that?’

But Yan Luoxi didn’t call him out on it. She just pursed her lips slightly and said nothing.

...

After parking the car, Gu Yizhou and Yan Luoxi took the gifts from the trunk and entered the villa’s courtyard.

"Miss, you’re back."

As soon as the two stepped into the courtyard, a middle-aged man in a steward’s uniform was standing at the door to greet them.

Yan Luoxi nodded. "Hello, Uncle Li."

After the greeting, Steward Li looked at Gu Yizhou and smiled slightly. "You must be Young Master Gu."

Yan Luoxi had already called ahead, so Li Ming naturally knew Gu Yizhou’s identity.

By rights, he should have addressed him as the young miss’s husband, but since this "prospective" son-in-law hadn’t yet received approval from Yan Luoxi’s parents, he naturally couldn’t be too forward.

"Hello."

Gu Yizhou also greeted Steward Li.

’The Yan Family sure has a lot of pomp.’

"Uncle Li, are my mom and dad around?"

Yan Luoxi asked casually.

"Yes, the Master and Madam are in the living room waiting for you and Young Master Gu," Steward Li replied respectfully.

Yan Luoxi nodded and walked toward the living room with Gu Yizhou.

Gu Yizhou walked beside Yan Luoxi. Though he appeared as calm as still water on the surface, his heart was a raging storm.

He understood that this visit to the Yan Family wasn’t just a simple "meet the parents" affair; it was a critical moment that would determine if their relationship could move forward.

They had to walk through a long corridor before reaching the villa’s living room.

’You could probably run two laps in this distance.’

’As expected.’

’The world of the rich is truly beyond imagination!’

Soon, the two of them arrived at the living room.

Looking at the traditional decor,

he found that the living room wasn’t as "nouveau riche" as he had imagined. Instead, it was remarkably low-key and simple.

’It made sense when he thought about it.’

’A family of the Yan Family’s status wasn’t the type to get rich overnight. They had the taste and refinement of high society.’

As Gu Yizhou and Yan Luoxi entered the living room, they saw Father Yan and Mrs. Yan sitting on the sofa, talking about something.

Seeing them, Yan Luoxi walked forward and called out softly, "Dad, Mom, I’m back."

Hearing her voice, the couple turned their heads in unison.

First, they saw their daughter, Yan Luoxi, walking in front. Then, their eyes fell on Gu Yizhou, who was following behind her.

At that moment, Gu Yizhou was holding some gifts in his hands.

In the next second,

the couple’s eyes widened instantly.

Especially Tang Wanfang.

She stared at Gu Yizhou, her face a mask of shock, her eyes filled with disbelief!

"It’s you?!"

Tang Wanfang blurted out.

"Hello, Uncle. Hello, Auntie... Auntie, hello. We meet again..."

Formally meeting his future parents-in-law for the first time, Gu Yizhou offered a slight smile and took the initiative to greet them.

Tang Wanfang: "..."

At this moment, Tang Wanfang was too stunned to speak.

’A moment ago, their steward had suddenly announced that her daughter was coming home, and that she was bringing her boyfriend.’

’When Tang Wanfang heard the news, she was actually quite displeased.’

’That silly girl. It was one thing for her to hide the fact she had a boyfriend for so long.’

’But to suddenly bring him home without any advance notice?’

’Having the steward deliver the message at the last minute—what was that supposed to mean?’

’She had already made up her mind. When she met him, she would absolutely not give a pleasant look to the punk who had stolen her daughter away.’

’But!’

’She never, ever would have thought that she would actually know the mysterious boyfriend her daughter brought home!’

’No way!’

’I do not approve of this match!’

’This kid might be handsome, but his character is rotten!’

’He’s a scumbag!’

A million thoughts raced through Tang Wanfang’s mind...

In contrast to Tang Wanfang, who was struck speechless with shock, Yan Zhenbang, at her side, recovered quickly.

Although he was also quite shocked, he was, after all, a man who had navigated the business world for many years and weathered great storms.

He quickly regained his composure.

"Uh... Xiaogu, it is you. I remember you. Hello, welcome to our home."

Yan Zhenbang said to Gu Yizhou.

He then turned to Yan Luoxi and said, "Xixi, bring Xiaogu over. Make yourselves comfortable."

Yan Luoxi, seeing her parents’ unexpected reactions to Gu Yizhou, couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy.

She stole a glance at Gu Yizhou and saw that his expression was normal; he didn’t seem affected by her mother’s reaction. Only then did Yan Luoxi feel a little more at ease.

She took Gu Yizhou’s hand and led him to the sofa. Biting her rosy lip, she began, "Mom, Dad, this is Gu Yizhou. You’ve met him before. He’s my boyfriend, and we’re dating. I hope you can approve of and support us."

Her tone was a bit cold, which sounded somewhat inappropriate for the occasion.

But Yan Zhenbang knew and understood his daughter’s personality.

’He knew what she was really saying—whether they approved or not, Gu Yizhou was her boyfriend!’

"Yes, we met at the office last time."

Yan Zhenbang beckoned with his hand. "Xiaogu, come, have a seat. Treat it like your own home, no need to be formal."

He hadn’t expected that Gu Yizhou, whom he’d met once at the office, was his daughter’s boyfriend. However, based on his appearance and the impression Gu Yizhou had made during their last meeting, he was actually quite satisfied with him.

’He really was a sharp and fine young man.’

’Well, the main thing was that it wouldn’t matter even if he wasn’t satisfied.’

’After all, his daughter liked him. What good would his disapproval do?’

Although the Yan Family certainly had wealth, Yan Zhenbang wasn’t actually that strict about his daughter’s choice in a boyfriend. As long as his daughter was happy, that was enough.

’As for any material conditions the other party lacked, their Yan Family could provide.’

"Okay, thank you, Uncle..."

Gu Yizhou said.

Just as he was about to sit down, Tang Wanfang suddenly spoke up, "I don’t approve!"

"Hmm?"

The moment Tang Wanfang said this, the atmosphere in the room instantly became awkward.

The expression on Yan Luoxi’s face changed in a flash, and Yan Zhenbang, beside her, also shot his wife a surprised look.

Gu Yizhou, however, remained standing there with a placid expression, showing no emotion whatsoever.

’He had actually already imagined a scene like this on the way over.’

’He had indeed met Yan Luoxi’s parents before, but meeting them then was different. Now, he was here in the capacity of their daughter’s boyfriend. Considering the disparity in their social standing, and the fact that he had ’stolen’ their daughter, it was only normal to face some opposition.’

’He could understand that.’

But while he didn’t mind, Yan Luoxi, at his side, was not having it.
