If the confession fails, then pursue her best friend

Mother-in-law Yang Jinyu's attitude is very good, but Li Yuan is more worried about Bai Tianqi's attitude.

But he knew that Bai Tianqi was a complete "daughter slave".

Can this old father really accept this reality?

Li Yuan was very worried.

After entering the house, Li Yuan looked around.

The house has three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. It is open from north to south. On the background wall of the living room hangs a painting with the words "Heaven rewards hard work" written on it. It looks like running script, and there is an incomprehensible seal on it...

Li Yuan was not surprised by this.

In China, many people, especially those in the system or businessmen, like to post some calligraphy and paintings to show their cultural atmosphere.
Not to mention a family of scholarly origin like Bai Tianqi's.

Bai Tianqi, a tall and strong man, was sitting on the sofa. When he saw Li Yuan come in, he kept a stern face, completely lacking the friendly look he had before. His face gave a feeling of keeping strangers away, and he did not look very happy.

At this time, Yang Jinyu snorted coldly and reminded:

"Old Bai, Li Yuan is here!"

Li Yuan clearly felt that Bai Tianqi seemed to have some opinions about him. Fortunately, through Bai Weixi's explanation, he was already prepared.

"Uncle Bai, the New Year is coming soon. I brought you a few bottles of wine. I came to wish you a happy New Year in advance!"

Bai Tianqi looked at the box of six bottles of Moutai that Li Yuan was holding, forced a smile, and nodded at Li Yuan.

"Well, sit down!"

Seeing that her father's attitude was a little cold, Bai Weixi couldn't help but snort, hugged Li Yuan's arm, and reminded him dissatisfiedly.

"Dad, these things were bought by Li Yuan from the Magic City based on your and my mom's preferences. Li Yuan spent a long time selecting them for you and my mom."

Bai Weixi didn't lie. In order to have a good New Year, Li Yuan really put in a lot of effort.

When accompanying Bai Weixi, Xia Zhijin and Zhong Tingyue respectively, he bought a lot of gifts according to their family's preferences.

For example, for Xia Zhijin's family, because the distance was far and they were all uncles, aunts, cousins, etc., they bought some small electronic products, and most of them were gold jewelry.
In China, gold is hard currency and has a high value. After giving it away, even if the other party does not need it, they can sell it for money.

If preserved, there is still a lot of room for appreciation.

The current price of gold in the market is less than 100 yuan per gram, but it had already risen to four or five hundred yuan before his rebirth, even faster than the increase in housing prices, making it a very cost-effective investment.

For example, the Spring Festival gifts Li Yuan prepared for his parents were a complete set of gold souvenirs of the twelve zodiac animals, each set was worth more than 20 yuan, and they liked them very much.

If you really want to give various luxury bags, clothes, diamonds and the like as gifts, it would be better to give gold.

Of course, for girls like Zhong Tingyue, Bai Weixi, and Xia Zhijin, giving them gold would be a bit tacky.

Young and beautiful girls prefer more beautiful things with artistic characteristics, such as diamonds, bags, etc.

Bai Tianqi looked at his precious daughter hugging Li Yuan's arm, and felt like the cabbage he had worked so hard to grow for many years was being eaten by a pig.

It's fine if you're being pushed around by a pig.

The key point is that this pig, not content with having his own cabbage, actually ate several other cabbages at the same time. He is not loyal at all, a pure playboy.
This is also the most fundamental reason why he is very angry.

There are probably not many men in this world who would be willing to let their only daughter, whom they raised, share a man with other women, right?

But after looking at the various gifts Li Yuan was carrying,

Reach out and don't hit the smiling man,
Bai Tianqi remembered Yang Jinyu's instructions just now, and took the initiative to chat with Li Yuan.

"I'm here now. Don't be so wasteful next time and bring more things."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Uncle Bai, this is a small gift from me. It's not worth much."

As he spoke, Li Yuan glanced at Bai Weixi, asking her to cover him.

These things were selected by him and Bai Weixi together. Bai Weixi knew their value better than he did.

Bai Weixi understood immediately and quickly took out various gifts from her bag.

"Mom, look, this is the Chanel cosmetics set that just came on the market this year. Li Yuan waited in line for a long time before he could buy it. The only place in the country that has it is Shanghai."

"This is a jade bracelet from Chow Tai Fook. You've always wanted a jade bracelet, right? Li Yuan and I picked it out for you. Take a look and see if it suits you."

"Dad, this is a set of gold souvenirs from China Construction Bank, with the twelve Chinese zodiac animals. Each gold statue weighs more than 150 grams. There are only 888 sets nationwide. The workmanship is very beautiful. You can keep it as a collection."

"This is a specially collected West Lake Longjing tea. Li Yuan heard that you like drinking tea, so he bought it for you."

Watching Bai Weixi take out the precious gifts one by one, Bai Tianqi and Yang Jinyu looked at each other in a daze.

This is your own son-in-law, and he is ready to use "money" to hit you?

This is what is called "not worth much money?".

Not to mention other things, just the set of gold souvenirs of the twelve zodiac animals would cost at least 100,000 or 200,000 yuan.

And that jade bracelet, crystal clear, so beautiful, obviously not cheap...

but,

These gifts are really beautiful!
Yang Jinyu's heart was pounding.
After her precious daughter got together with Li Yuan, she felt that she had suddenly become the legendary "noble lady". Her food, clothing and daily expenses were totally different from before.
Even for those from my own family, it would be difficult for them to live such a luxurious life, right?

Although the brothers were rich, they only had a few million, which was nothing compared to Li Yuan's wealth.

Just like my eldest brother’s family who settled in Shanghai, they always look so proud every time they come home, but they only have three houses in Shanghai and a small company, and their assets may not be as much as his daughter’s.
"Xiao Yuan, these are too valuable. Don't waste them next time. Uncle and aunt are just teaching at home. They don't need them."

Yang Jinyu said this, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face and looked very happy.

No woman can resist gold jewelry, luxury goods, and cosmetics.
People do not blame!
Especially Li Yuan's way of catering to the emperor's preferences.

As she got older, her skin became worse and wrinkles started to appear on her face. At this time, giving her expensive skin care products really touched her heart.

And this jade bracelet,

She remembered that a few years ago, she took her daughter back to her parents' home and saw her sister-in-law wearing a very beautiful one. She said something about it out of envy, but she didn't expect her daughter to remember it and bought it for her now.
The look Yang Jinyu gave Li Yuan suddenly became kinder and gentler.

If you put aside his romantic feelings, my daughter's boyfriend is top-notch in every aspect, without any flaws.

He is tall, handsome, in good shape, well-educated, talented, successful, and generous.
Just too fickle.

But, that's right, she was moved by such an outstanding boy, let alone those other little girls.

Wouldn't you have to rush up?

As long as you get involved, with Li Yuan's generosity, you will have a lifetime of wealth and glory.
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Aunt Yang, this is really just a small token of my appreciation."

"Xiaobai, try it on your uncle and aunt to see if it fits."

"Yeah!" Bai Weixi nodded sweetly and took out a pair of glass jade bracelets, which were crystal clear without a trace of impurities. The jade bracelets alone were worth more than 100,000 yuan.
……

After trying various gifts, Yang Jinyu's attitude became more gentle, and she seemed to have completely forgotten that Li Yuan was having several affairs at the same time.

Even Bai Tianqi, under Bai Weixi's coquettish voice, softened his attitude and chatted with Li Yuan about some business matters.

After chatting for a while, Yang Jinyu pulled Bai Tianqi over and said with a smile:
"Xiaobai, you stay at home and chat with Li Yuan. Your dad and I will go to the supermarket to buy some food and we will eat at home tonight."

Li Yuan quickly stood up and said, "Aunt Yang, let's go with you."

Yang Jinyu indicated, "No, there is a supermarket in front of the school, just a few steps away. You have been riding the bus for a whole day, so take a rest first."

Seeing that his mother-in-law insisted, Li Yuan sat down.

He felt awkward shopping in the supermarket with his mother-in-law and father-in-law.

After Bai Tianqi and Yang Jinyu went downstairs, they started chatting on the way.

"Old Bai, is this Li Yuan's first visit?"

Bai Tianqi frowned subconsciously: "What do you mean?"

Yang Jinyu glared at her husband in dissatisfaction:
"Old Bai, are you out of your mind? This is the first time our daughter's boyfriend officially comes to visit us, so we naturally have to make good preparations. According to our customs, we have to give a red envelope and find someone to accompany him."

"You don't understand these principles, do you?"

After hearing Yang Jinyu's reminder, Bai Tianqi finally reacted.

This is really Li Yuan's "first visit" as his daughter's boyfriend, so he certainly can't just have a meal and leave it at that.

If you say that to others, you'll be laughed at.

What if Li Yuan felt that he did not value him and used this as an excuse to make trouble in the future? They would also feel guilty.

Bai Tianqi was about to speak when he heard Yang Jinyu's dissatisfied reproach:
"Lao Bai, stop showing your sour face in front of Li Yuan. I am very satisfied with Li Yuan. He treats Xiao Bai very well and has nothing to say about the two of us. Let everything take its course... Don't let Xiao Bai break up with him and make a fuss, and then blame you for it."

Bai Tianqi snorted in dissatisfaction, but did not refute.

He could naturally see his precious daughter's attitude.

If he really opposed it firmly, his daughter might just run away from home and cut off all ties with him, just like her mother.

Isn’t this what your wife is like?
Despite her family's opposition, she severed ties with her parents, traveled thousands of miles to follow me, and married in a strange small county.
Like mother, like daughter.

He also knew Bai Weixi's character very well. She looked gentle on the outside, but once she made a decision, she would be very persistent.
Yang Jinyu added, "This is Li Yuan's first time here. Think about who to invite to accompany him. Li Yuan is a good drinker. He made you pass out last time. Find a few people who can drink to accompany him."

Bai Tianqi smiled awkwardly. He thought he could drink quite well, but the last time he went to Shanghai during the National Day holiday, he drank with Li Yuan and was knocked down.

"Let me think about it. My eldest brother works in the Education Bureau. He is now the deputy director of the Education Bureau. I can ask him if he is free. And my dad, although he is retired, he used to be a heavy drinker. Well, find another friend, He Zhi. He works in Banxu Town. He has visited Li Yuan many times in the past few days. He also told me before that he wanted me to organize a group and have a chat with Li Yuan." Yang Jinyu naturally understood the relationship with the Bai family.

That’s how it is in a small county. The circle is so small that you can always find some people with “energy”.

This is what is called a "county Brahmin"...

For example, Bai Tianqi's brother Bai Tianliang, although he is only the deputy director of the Education Bureau, a deputy section-level leadership position, but in this small piece of land in the county, he still has some face and can be regarded as a "small official".
"Well, you decide. I'll just be in charge of cooking today."

Yang Jinyu replied casually, and then thought:

"Lao Bai, do you know what Li Yuan likes to eat?"

Bai Tianqi shook his head and said, "How would I know? Just prepare a few of your favorite home-cooked dishes. He is in Shanghai, and he has eaten all kinds of delicious food. Prepare some chicken, duck, meat, eggs, fish, etc. We can't buy seafood here."

Yang Jinyu nodded: "That's true, I'll take care of it. By the way, talk to my eldest brother and ask my eldest sister-in-law to come over and help, I can't handle it alone. I remember that the pickled fish she made tasted very good."

Yang Jinyu was also a little nervous. This was the first time that the son-in-law came to the family home, and every family took it very seriously.

In particular, the current Li Yuan is not an ordinary person.

Instead, he is a big boss with a net worth of over 100 million and a very famous star.

Even if it is a common meal, it requires a certain level of skill.

"Okay, got it. I'll call them first to see if they're free."

Bai Tianqi was walking while calling someone.

When they heard that Li Yuan was coming, they agreed immediately without saying a word.

On the phone, He Zhi laughed out loud: "Okay, Lao Bai, you didn't forget your old classmate when you had good things to do. I just came back from Li Yuan's house in the evening, and I was just looking for a chance to invite him. I was still worried that he wouldn't come."

Bai Tianqi smiled, although he was very unhappy with Li Yuan's behavior.

But when these relatives and friends heard that they were going to have dinner with Li Yuan, they immediately agreed and felt very honored.

Especially his eldest brother, who is the deputy director of the county education bureau and is usually very arrogant. If you want to invite him to dinner, you have to make an appointment a week in advance.

But after he told Li Yuan that he was coming, he agreed immediately.

He Zhi joked, "Lao Bai, you have to take out the Maotai that Li Yuan gave you to taste tonight!"

Bai Tianqi smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, there's plenty of Maotai. Just keep Li Yuan company, he can drink a lot."

He Zhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will accompany you no matter what we say today."

At Bai Weixi's home,
Li Yuan didn't know that his future mother-in-law and father-in-law were already thinking about how to find someone to drink with him.

At this moment, he was visiting Bai Weixi's "boudoir" and checking out some of Bai Weixi's precious collections.

Bai Weixi opened a box hidden in a very secluded place and pouted at Li Yuan:

"Hehe, stinky brother, I didn't lie to you, I kept all the gifts you gave me and the love letters you wrote!"

"Look, this is the MP3 you gave me on my first birthday, and the first love letter you wrote to me."

Bai Weixi took out a neatly folded piece of pink drawing paper from the gift box, waved it at Li Yuan, and said jokingly:
"Uh~~, brother, do you want me to read it to you?"

Li Yuan looked at Bai Weixi's bright smile and the gifts whose memory had become blurred, and a very complicated emotion suddenly arose in his heart.

He thought that all the gifts he gave to Bai Weixi in high school had been thrown away by her.

I didn't expect that she would collect it so preciously.

Since she valued the gift she gave so much, why did the future turn out like that?

Or does it mean that people really change after going to college and being exposed to a wider world?

Or was it because I wasn't brave enough, didn't work hard enough, and could never meet the requirements in Bai Weixi's heart, so I did that?

Li Yuan suddenly felt confused.
Bai Weixi saw Li Yuan staring at the pink love letter in his hand in a daze, so he waved his hand in front of him and asked caringly:
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Li Yuan came back to his senses, sighed in his heart, smiled and shook his head: "It's okay!"

Bai Weixi smiled sweetly and said, "Then what are you daydreaming about?"

Li Yuan sighed: "I was thinking, time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, more than three years have passed since we met."

"I feel like the faces of some of my high school classmates have become a little blurry and I can't remember them clearly."

"Time flies!" Bai Weixi sighed and suddenly said:
"By the way, Yuchen and Xuzhi said that they are planning to organize a class reunion after the New Year. Do you want to join us?"

"Class reunion?" Li Yuan looked surprised.

"Why didn't anyone tell me?"

Bai Weixi snorted: "You are a big boss now, you are busy every day, who would dare to disturb you?"

"Xu Zhi, Yu Chen and the others wanted me to ask for your opinion. If you participate, they will organize it. If you don't participate, they won't organize it."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Oh, do I have such a big face?"

Bai Weixi blinked and smiled secretly: "Of course, you are the best person in our class, they all want to meet you."

"Brother, will you join us?"

Li Yuan nodded: "If there is no special situation, I will participate. However, we have to look at the specific time. I can't stay at home for a few days."

"As you know, the company is at a critical stage of development and I still need to be in charge personally."

"Yeah!" Bai Weixi hummed, and suddenly felt a sense of urgency when he thought that Zhong Tingyue was currently staying in Shanghai to deal with various company matters.

She didn't want to be just a vase, she also wanted to study hard to help Li Yuan. She didn't ask for much help, but at least she could keep up with him.
More than half an hour later, Bai Tianqi and Yang Jinyu came back carrying large and small bags of vegetables.

After a while, Bai Weixi's grandfather, uncle, and He Zhi, whom he had just met in the afternoon, all came.

So many people suddenly came to my house.

Li Yuan was also a little surprised. Could it be that he came to "watch" his prospective son-in-law who was coming to his home for the first time?
Bai Tianqi smiled and introduced: "Li Yuan, these are Xiao Bai's grandparents."

Li Yuan looked at the old man and old lady in front of him, who were dressed neatly and in good health, and greeted them quickly:
"Hello, grandpa and grandma, I'm Li Yuan, Wei Xi's boyfriend!"

Bai Tianqi's grandfather is a tall and thin man, and you can vaguely see that he was also a handsome guy when he was young.

"Li Yuan, I've heard of you, not bad, not bad!"

"What a handsome young man, he is a perfect match for our Weixi."

Bai Tianqi continued to introduce: "This is your uncle, now the deputy director of the county education bureau."

Li Yuan looked at Bai Weixi's uncle and felt that he looked familiar. He must have seen him in a meeting in his previous life.

"Hello, uncle!"

Bai Tianliang looked Li Yuan up and down carefully and nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, he is a very handsome young man. He is also very promising at a young age. His future is limitless."

Li Yuan quickly replied modestly: "Uncle, you are too kind. I am just starting out with a small effort."

"Don't be too modest. We have all heard about your affairs."

Bai Tianliang saw Li Yuan's humble look and nodded secretly in his heart. He thought that to be able to achieve such results at this age without being proud or complacent, his future was limitless.

There is one thing, he is too popular with women...

Bai Tianqi was just about to introduce He Zhi to Li Yuan when he heard He Zhi take the initiative to greet him with a smile:
"Mr. Li, we meet again."

"Uncle He, just call me Li Yuan!"

Li Yuan was also a little surprised. This was his first visit, so shouldn’t it be a family dinner?
Why did my father-in-law invite He Zhi, a classmate? Are they so close?
He Zhi smiled and said, "Okay, since I am a few years older than you, I will be a little presumptuous and call you Xiao Yuan."

"Haha, Xiao Yuan is really amazing now. I just got home and saw a piece of news saying that the game "Honor of Kings" developed by your company has made a historic breakthrough in the domestic game industry. It has a milestone significance and has set a new benchmark for the game industry."

Li Yuan looked at He Zhi deeply.

I thought to myself, as expected of someone in the system, what he said is very sophisticated and anyone who heard it would be confused.

If I had had such eloquence and emotional intelligence in my previous life, I wouldn’t have ended up in such a miserable situation.

Li Yuan: "Uncle He, you are really too kind. King of Glory has just been launched and has not been tested by the market yet."

Bai Tianliang also asked with a smile: "Li Yuan, I saw from the Internet that the daily sales of your game have exceeded 100 million?"

"It's about the same. Sales will be better when it first goes online." Li Yuan nodded with a smile and did not hide anything.

Specific sales data is the company's core secret and must not be leaked at will.

Since 2009 o'clock in the morning on January 1, 20, "Honor of Kings" was officially launched.

As the market's reputation grows, the daily sales of the game have reached new highs almost every day, with daily sales stabilizing at more than 1 million. The number of game users is also increasing continuously, and the number of game software downloads has exceeded 2000 million, which has attracted nationwide attention.
It is much more popular than the "League of Legends" in the original time and space, and even more popular than the later "Honor of Kings" mobile game.

Because this is a game developed and produced by Li Yuan.

Because of the popularity of the national selection of "Milk Tea Sister" and the ten songs he sang live at the awards ceremony,
It can be said that he is now the most popular person on the Internet. To use a different phrase, he is the current biggest traffic star.
In addition, there is another factor of popularity, which makes it particularly attractive to some girls who don’t play games very much. (End of this chapter)
