Chapter 12

Early the next morning, Xu Lin planned to return to the city. He originally intended to go back around noon, but since the young lady wanted to buy a house, he decided to resolve it for her sooner.

However, just before leaving, the old lady stopped him, saying there was something she needed to discuss, making Xu Lin nervous.

Grandma, whats the matter?

Is that girl a celebrity?

You heard about it?

Yes, but my grandson is so outstanding; a celebrity is worthy of him.

Looking at the old lady joking around, he also breathed a sigh of relief. At first, he was worried that the old lady might not be feeling well.

But youre still in school, so focus on your studies. But your grandfather and I arent that stubborn.

We used to worry that you wouldnt find a partner and get married late, but now were not concerned about that anymore.

Yeah, Ill study hard and get into a good university.

But this girl is so pretty; if youre interested in her, grandma would be happy.

You just judge people by their looks. Whoevers daughter is pretty, you think shes suitable to be a daughter-in-law.

Haha,the beautiful daughter-in-law is your wife too. Here, take this. I hope you choose well and bring her back for me to see.

The old lady said, taking out a jade bracelet and clasping it in his hand with some force, telling him its very important.

This was given to me by my mother. I intended to give it to your mother, but your mother said theres more than one daughter-in-law in the family, so she declined.

Give this to Miss Chu.

Huh? Are you arranging a marriage for me? Dont talk about others; I havent agreed yet.

I didnt expect my eldest grandson to have such high standards; this thing is no longer just for daughters-in-law to have.

But you giving it to her personally would be better.

Thats different; Ill put it on her myself when youve truly decided on a daughter-in-law; besides, I have more here.

The old lady opened a small box beside her; inside were more than a dozen bracelets, reflecting a green glow when placed together.

Grandma, am I a hidden rich second generation?

My eldest grandson, youre thinking too much; these bracelets are made of ordinary material, imitating the one my mother gave me. Each one is only worth a few hundred bucks, not something valuable.

Why did you make so many bracelets, then?

It seems that after you were born, when your grandfather and I went to register you, we impulsively bought a piece of jade and made these bracelets.

So youre aiming for me to get you more than a dozen daughters-in-law.

If you have that ability, its up to you! But, grandson, sincerity in relationships is the most important.

I understand, grandma.

Think about it; youre a celebrity. My mom loves watching TV dramas; she might recognise you.

That wouldnt be so scary.

Xu Lin looked at her and suddenly felt that she had made up her mind, so he didnt try to persuade her anymore.

Then lets go to the supermarket and buy some things; I cant go empty-handed.

Youre really treating it like meeting the parents. But dont buy anything too expensive, just some food and drinks.

Then, more than half an hour later, Xu Lin looked at the receipt of 22,000 yuan in the taxi, and his heart told him one thing: he had to hurry up and make money.

I said buy food and drinks, but you spent over $10,000 on a ring. Now I cant even tell my mom the price.

No need to say, as long as Auntie likes it. Its weird to give a ring at the first meeting, but I thought this ring looked good, so I bought it. I bought nutritional supplements, tea, and red wine for Uncle; these arent food and drinks.

Thanks.

Xu Lin wouldnt foolishly say something like, I have money now; I can give it to you. He remembered the kindness of the other party to his parents, so he would repay it in other ways. For example, when meeting the other partys parents, buy more things or give her a few more songs for free, even though they were originally her songs.

Hearing Xu Lins response, Chu Qingchan nodded. She quite liked his easygoing personality, not fussing over trivial matters. Sometimes, the value of things isnt that important.

They were in a taxi. So when the middle-aged driver overheard their conversation, his heart raced a bit. After driving taxis for so many years, he unexpectedly had a wealthy passenger. The daughters first visit was to give a gift worth thousands.

But this young man looked so youngaround 20 years old. Could he be a gold digger?

However, Xu Lin was oblivious to the drivers thoughts. He and Chu Qingchan continued discussing the housing situation. Suddenly, the driver interrupted them.

Are you looking for a house? What a coincidence!

Yeah, but she wants one with an elevator, preferably near the commercial street.

Thats perfect. Our neighbour is selling a house spanning over 100 square eters. Their kid is getting married, and the bride wants a new building, so theyre selling this one.

Where do you live, mister?

I also live in Jinxiu Mansion, so I said its a coincidence.

Can we go take a look later? Chu Qingchan was somewhat interested, considering the great location.

Sure, there have been people at their house these days. Ill contact them later.

Leave your contact information. Whats your last name?

My last name is Ji, and my phone number is XXXXX. If you want to come, give me a call; its in Building 9, Unit 2.

Okay Xu Lin noted down the phone number, but he felt a bit uneasy. Surnamed Ji, living in Building 9!

Wait, didnt Ji Yun mention her dad is a taxi driver? Oh my, could it be this coincidental? I just randomly took a taxi!

But I havent done anything; they shouldnt spark any flames, right? Hmm, Xu Lin, youre fine! Everythings fine
