Chapter 1792: New Year’s Day, Yan Family, Looks Familiar_4

Fu Qinyuan.

Also Yan Chi’s nephew.

He was leisurely observing the car as it slowly approached.

Jiang Ruan was initially thinking about how to handle things once inside, but she didn’t expect someone to be standing at the door, making her suddenly feel nervous and uneasy.

"Scared?" Yan Chi parked the car and smiled at her.

"A bit." After all, the person at the door was the third young master of the Fu Family, a notoriously formidable figure in Beijing.

"That person at the door is my nephew. He’ll be calling you ’Aunt’ in the future. Why fear him?"

"..."

What he said seemed to make sense.

Jiang Ruan spent a few minutes in the car building up her confidence, then took a deep breath, "I’m ready."

Yan Chi got out first and then helped her open the car door.

After Jiang Ruan got out, there was still some distance between her and Fu Qinyuan. She nodded slightly as a greeting.

There was a visible gleam of surprise in Fu Qinyuan’s eyes.

After all, it was the first time his uncle...

had brought a girl home.

They opened the trunk to get the gifts.

Suddenly, a voice came from inside the house, "Qinyuan, who’s here?"

The speaker was Song Fengwan, Fu Qinyuan’s mother. Earlier, Qiao Aiyun had also asked, so Fu Qinyuan turned to look inside the house, "Mom, Grandma, you’ll need to set an extra place at the table."

The originally lively living room erupted in chaos upon hearing this and seeing the slightly mischievous smile on Fu Qinyuan’s face, as if everyone had guessed something.

Qiao Aiyun hurriedly called for everyone to tidy up the living room and not make it messy.

Even Yan Wangchuan, who had been sitting on the sofa, was urged to get up, "Don’t just sit there, quickly clean up the table. Oh, and get out that new coconut cake we bought today, and bring a new cup for tea..."

"And move a chair over to the dining table. Prepare another set of utensils."

"Yan Chi didn’t even give us a heads up."

...

While everyone was busy, Jiang Ruan had already followed Yan Chi inside the house.

The Yan Family was very lively, and at this moment, she didn’t know what to say. By her seniority, Jiang Ruan was supposed to call Yan Wangchuan ’Grandpa,’ but her mind was blank, and she forgot the formality, just smiling.

"Mom and Dad, this is..." Yan Chi was just about to introduce when his mother interrupted him.

"Don’t just stand there, come and sit," Qiao Aiyun quickly invited, evaluating the pretty young woman in front of her and feeling extremely satisfied.

Thinking this beautiful young lady standing with her son looked particularly fitting.

She seemed a little shy and reserved, which was normal, but her behavior was still graceful and composed, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Auntie, I’ve bought a few things for you and Uncle," Jiang Ruan eventually called her Auntie.

"You’re too kind. Yan Chi, you really should know better than to let her bring stuff. Just coming over is enough..." Qiao Aiyun said, but she was naturally pleased with the young woman’s thoughtfulness.

She kept giving her son looks to invite his girlfriend to sit down.

"Sit down." Yan Chi pulled her by the hand into the living room amidst everyone’s gaze, found a sofa, and gestured for her to sit.

But how could Jiang Ruan sit? A whole crowd was standing there watching her as if observing some rare creature. Since no one else was sitting, she dared not sit either.

"Have some tea, dinner will be ready soon." Qiao Aiyun was already studying her like a daughter-in-law.

Meanwhile, Song Fengwan standing aside was suppressing laughter, observing the young woman and then looking at Yan Chi...

She felt proud of her brother for finding such a pretty girlfriend.

Wondering how he had managed to win her heart.

Mother had been worried her brother would take after Father, fearing romance might be difficult, but this young lady seemed just fine.

The siblings were quite apart in age; Yan Chi had grown up under her watch.

Seeing him bring a girlfriend home made her happy too.

She used to think their family’s ’pig’ wouldn’t go after ’cabbages,’ but now it seemed she had been worrying too much.

"Auntie, I’m sorry to drop by so unexpectedly," Jiang Ruan realized that Yan Chi hadn’t even informed his family beforehand.

"It’s okay. This is Yan Chi’s fault for not telling us in advance. I didn’t even know if the dishes I made would suit your taste," Qiao Aiyun laughed.

The first meeting was bound to be very polite; Jiang Ruan found Yan Chi’s mother quite friendly, and felt somewhat relieved, though her gaze drifted to his father. Her heart was racing.

Father and son looked quite alike, but compared to Yan Chi, his father was more stern and intimidating, with a rare expression, aloof and indifferent.

The main thing was, he kept staring at her — it was terrifying.

Qiao Aiyun noticed this too; it was the first time her son had brought a girlfriend home, and everyone was curious, but they shouldn’t keep staring — it would indeed scare her.

Qiao Aiyun nudged her husband.

Yan Wangchuan slightly furrowed his brow and murmured:

"She looks familiar."

Familiar?

These old-fashioned pickup lines shouldn’t come from Yan Wangchuan’s mouth, but he’s not a frivolous person. Saying she looked familiar — could it be...

They really had met before?

As everyone was re-evaluating Jiang Ruan, Yan Chi said, "Yeah, she’s my college junior."

Everyone: "..."

You’re already graduated; how did you end up with a junior?

So there had been something going on all along?
