Chapter 172

"Liu Bo had something to attend to in the evening, so he went back a little early, and I took care of the remaining documents."

Liu Bo was also driving, still on the road, with Xiao Li'er sitting in the passenger seat.

After pretending to be a couple, they hadn't had a chance to visit Xiao Li'er's family yet. In recent weeks, the company had been quite busy after collaborating with the Yang City Lin's Family.

Processing various documents and discussing various details.

Xiao's Father and Xiao's Mother had been urging Xiao Li'er, and Xiao Li'er waited until work was less hectic before telling Liu Bo that her family had been pressing her to introduce her partner.

Initially, it was just Xiao's Father and Xiao's Mother who wanted to meet him, but her brother Xiao Jun had been constantly fanning the flames with her parents, making them increasingly anxious.

"Can you handle it when you meet my parents later? Will you be able to cope?" Xiao Li'er asked.

"A man can't say he can't do it. Didn't I handle it quite well last time? Don't worry," Liu Bo said confidently.

Hearing this, Xiao Li'er was much more reassured.

"My brother is quite a handful. Be careful later and don't let anything slip. He's quite perceptive and has lots of tricks up his sleeve. From a young age, I don't know how many times he's played tricks on me," Xiao Li'er said.

"Do you want me to get revenge for you?"

"Ah, no, no. Regardless, we can't let anything slip, or I'll have to go through blind dates again," Xiao Li'er emphasized.

Xiao Li'er's family lived in the old part of town, in a relatively old three-bedroom, one-living room house.

When Liu Bo arrived, he brought a lot of nutritional supplements and even an iPad for Xiao Jun, the latest model.

It was Xiao Jun who opened the door. Xiao's Father and Xiao's Mother had cleaned the house beforehand. When Liu Bo entered, Xiao's Mother was cooking in the kitchen, and Xiao's Father was helping her.

When Xiao's Father saw Liu Bo, he didn't go out to greet him, after all, when meeting his daughter's boyfriend, he had to maintain his composure.

"Dad, Mom, we're back," Xiao Li'er squatted down, changed her shoes, and also brought a pair of slippers for Liu Bo.

After changing into the slippers, Liu Bo entered the house. He was a little nervous inside, but he tried his best not to appear too awkward.

"Hello, Uncle and Auntie. The company has been quite busy recently, sorry for coming to see you so late," Liu Bo said as he placed the nutritional supplements on the floor and handed the iPad to Xiao Jun.

Xiao's Father had a stern expression and didn't speak.

However, Xiao's Mother hurried out of the kitchen, "Now that you're here, why did you buy so many things?"

"It's not much," Liu Bo replied. For the first time meeting the parents, he couldn't just come empty-handed, could he?

"Sis, Brother-in-law, how long have you two known each other? How long have you been dating? How did you get together?" Xiao Jun started gossiping.

These were precisely the questions Xiao's Mother wanted to ask as well.

"I've known your sister for over a year."

"He's my boss."

The two answered the first question.

"When did you get together?" Xiao Jun urged impatiently. Why didn't they just answer all the questions at once instead of one by one? It was like teasing people's curiosity.

"We got together over a month ago, at a matchmaking event," Liu Bo said.

"A matchmaking event?" Xiao's Mother asked.

Xiao Li'er was afraid of slipping up, so she didn't dare to say anything. What if they said something contradictory and exposed themselves immediately?

Fortunately, Liu Bo had good mental composure and a clear mind, and he was quick to respond.

"Our company's president is kind and was concerned about employees' marital issues, so he organized a matchmaking event. There were many people at the venue, and Xiao Li'er and I knew quite a few of them, but we felt they were a bit off, or rather, not suitable for us. Later, we sat together, had some food, and chatted. We found we got along quite well, so we got together."

"I see," Xiao's Mother said, somewhat disappointed.

"What does Brother-in-law do?" Xiao Jun asked again.

Xiao's Mother wished she could give Xiao Jun a few extra chicken drumsticks. Some questions she couldn't ask properly, but Xiao Jun could.

"I'm your sister's boss. I've been working at the company as a special assistant since the founding of the Heyuan Group. I've been with the company for a long time, so I'm considered a veteran employee. I also have some shares, so I guess you could say I'm a minor shareholder."

At first, when Xiao's Mother heard "special assistant," she wasn't too pleased. Her daughter was already an assistant, and if her son-in-law was also an assistant, how would they make a living? But when she heard the latter part about having shares, she immediately changed her opinion.

Not to mention how many shares, she had always taken pride in Xiao Li'er working at the Heyuan Group.

The Heyuan Group is a rising company, with excellent benefits and treatment for its employees. The young president has developed the company into its current state in just two or three short years, earning everyone's admiration.

The Heyuan Group has shares, so even owning just one percent of the shares would provide enough income for two people each month.

Xiao's Mother was increasingly pleased. With shares in the Heyuan Group, she would be considered a minor boss within the company.

Excellent, with money and a job, Xiao Li'er would not suffer hardship.

"Is your family in Rong City?"
