Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 66, Bringing Zheng Lan to Meet Her Parents

Note: In order to allow Wang Li to legitimately own several important female protagonists, their ages were separated, which is why Zheng Lan is ten years older than him.

Wang Li saw that his parents were in a good mood and knew that it was time to say what he wanted to say. So he said to his parents: I have always wanted to tell you, but my relationship with Zheng Lan has not been settled. So I didn't tell you, that is, she is much older than me.

Wang Li’s parents said: It’s better to let her grow up so that she will know how to care for her husband.

Wang Li agreed: Yes, yes, I think so too, she is ten years older than me.

Wang Li's parents' faces changed, and they hurriedly asked him: She's so much older! Doesn't that mean she's 28 years old now? She's never been married, right?

Wang Li immediately replied: "No, I was delayed because of work. Although she is older than me, she looks very young and beautiful. You will definitely be satisfied when you see her."

After hearing this, the parents felt a little relieved, but they still had some thoughts in their hearts. After all, the child was ten years older than their son and was a little too old.

But they decided to wait and see after they met. Besides, if Wang Li really liked her, they couldn't stop him.

Lai Xiaomei listened to the whole thing and didn't say anything. She just looked at Wang Li with concern when the age issue was mentioned. Wang Li gave her a reassuring look, and she smiled slightly and said nothing more.

Time passed quickly, and it was Sunday again. Wang Li and Zheng Lan had agreed that Zheng Lan would visit Wang Li's home today.

Early in the morning, Wang Li's parents and Lai Xiaomei started to get busy.

It can be seen that the parents attach great importance to this meeting. After all the preparations were done, the mother began to dress herself and Lai Xiaomei to leave a good first impression on the future daughter-in-law.

At about 9:30, there was a knock on Wang Li's door. Wang Li knew who was coming. He quickly opened the door and saw Zheng Lan, who was still wearing the same clothes she wore when they met at her house last Sunday. She was holding a few gifts in her hands, and she looked at Wang Li with a smile and asked: "Am I not late?"
Wang Li immediately said: It’s not too late, let’s go into the house.

As he spoke, he pulled Zheng Lan, whose face was slightly red, towards the main house in the second courtyard.

Halfway through, Zheng Lan said in surprise: I didn't expect your house to be so big.

Wang Li replied: Yes, when we first bought the house, only the first courtyard had houses, and the rest was flat land. In recent years, the second and third courtyards have been built, but now part of the houses are rented to the recycling station, and our family basically lives in the second and third courtyards.

With a curious look in her eyes, Zheng Lan was led by Wang Li into the main hall of the second courtyard.

Wang Li's father was sitting on a chair in the hall drinking tea, but judging from his expression, he was very nervous. Wang Li's mother and Lai Xiaomei had packed up, both wearing new clothes, and were placing cakes and fruits on the coffee table in the living room. After hearing the footsteps, they looked at Zheng Lan with a smile on their faces.

After seeing Zheng Lan's appearance and dress, the mother and Lai Xiaomei were both amazed, and Lai Xiaomei's eyes showed a hint of relief and relaxation. After all, when there is a little gap between you and a person, you may be jealous of her. But when the gap between you is huge, you will only envy her.

This was what Lai Xiaomei thought of Zheng Lan at the moment. After all, she could not compare with Zheng Lan in terms of background, appearance, temperament and academic qualifications.

Wang Li's mother smiled and asked Zheng Lan, "Are you Zheng Lan? You are so beautiful! Like a fairy in a painting. Come and sit down and have some fruit."

At this time, she did not pay attention to what Wang Li had said before, that Zheng Lan was older than him. It was obvious that she was very satisfied with Zheng Lan.

Lai Xiaomei also brought the fruit plate to Zheng Lan and said: Beautiful sister, please eat some fruit.

After greeting Wang Li's parents, Zheng Lan smiled and asked Lai Xiaomei: "You are Lai Xiaomei, right? I often hear Wang Li mention you in front of me, saying that you are a good girl, very pretty and cute."

As she spoke, she took out a gift box from her pocket and gave it to Lai Xiaomei, saying: This is a gift from sister to you.

Lai Xiaomei didn't take the gift box she was looking at, but looked at Wang Li. After Wang Li nodded, she happily took it and thanked Zheng Lan: Thank you, Sister Zheng Lan, can I open it?
Zheng Lan said: "Sure! See if you like it. I bought it when I was studying abroad. I believe girls of your age will like it."

After Lai Xiaomei opened the gift box, she found a very beautiful and exquisite women's watch inside. Although she didn't know what brand it was, the design of this watch was very pleasing to women.

Wang Li didn't recognize the brand of the watch after taking a quick look. But he knew it must be worth a lot of money from the diamonds inlaid inside. Wang Li glanced at Zheng Lan and was very satisfied with her performance.

If she gave her parents such an expensive gift, she would be suspected of showing off her wealth, but giving a gift to a little girl is a sign of love from an older sister to a child. The size is well chosen, and it also reflects her importance to Lai Xiaomei.

In short, Zheng Lan won Lai Xiaomei's heart with a watch and her own conversation and appearance. After all, no one had ever given her such a gift.

Zheng Lan treated her very well, just like an older sister next door. The key is that Zheng Lan is so beautiful that she is popular with both men and women.

If something has a perfect beginning, the subsequent progress will be much smoother. Zheng Lan's visit to Wang Li's home was very successful, fully demonstrating her outstanding appearance, gentle attitude, gentle personality, and smart and sensible cultivation as a lady from a noble family, winning the recognition of Wang Li's family of three and Lai Xiaomei.

In short, both parties have completed the process of meeting their parents and have obtained the approval and blessings of both parents. If nothing unexpected happens, they can get married by the end of this year or next year.
