A bizarre blind date: spending money on the beautiful woman's mother can be a major shock.

Xia Siyao was dissatisfied, and Cao An was even more dissatisfied!

This is practically a mobile gold mine; how could he possibly give it up so easily just because of a few words from his future mother-in-law, Gan Hongyan…

Of course, they were all easy targets, so Cao An didn't show any dissatisfaction on his face.

She smiled and explained, "Auntie, you can't say that. She's Rou Rou's aunt, so she's a proper elder. This is my first time visiting, and since we've met, I can't be rude!"

After saying this, he forcefully shoved the cash gift box into Xia Siyao's hands...

"In terms of seniority, I should call you 'Little Aunt.' Please accept this small gift as a token of our greeting."

Xia Siyao didn't dare look into her sister-in-law's eyes, gave it a slight push, and then pretended to reluctantly accept it...

"Cao An, then I won't stand on ceremony!"

At roughly the same time, Cao An heard another notification sound in his mind.

[Ding! Detected a purchase of 10 yuan for Xia Siyao, resulting in a cashback of 480 million yuan, which has been deposited into the host's bank account!]

Hearing the sounds in his mind, Cao An's smile remained unchanged...

Then he turned his gaze to Xia Xiaojun and his wife, who were looking somewhat dumbfounded.

"Brother, you and sister-in-law aren't considered elders, so I'll offer a small token of my appreciation: ten thousand each as a greeting gift. Please don't find it offensive!"

As he spoke, he handed over the two stacks of cash in his hand.

Seeing this, the two couldn't help but feel a little surprised and delighted...

Ten thousand yuan is not a small amount for them!

He Juan accepted it with a beaming smile...

"Then thank you!"

The moment the 20,000 yuan was given, the awkward atmosphere in the room instantly eased a bit more…

What's done is done, and Gan Hongyan can only hope that she was overthinking things.

What if someone else's filial piety is just that outrageous?

He comforted himself and smiled at Cao An again…

"Xiao Cao, look at you, on your first visit, you bought me such an expensive gift, and you also gave Rou Rou's aunt, brother, and sister-in-law so much cash. You've really gone to great lengths!"

"I'll go to the kitchen to cook for you. You two sit down and chat for a while."

After saying this, he glanced at his sister-in-law, seemingly unintentionally…

"Xia Siyao, come and help me!"

Xia Siyao, who had originally wanted to get closer to Cao An, reluctantly followed him into the kitchen after hearing these words...

Xia Xiaojun and his wife were even more obsequious!

Some were making tea, while others were washing fruit.

They practically worshipped Cao An as their father!

Inside the kitchen, Gan Hongyan still felt somewhat uneasy.

He muttered to himself, "Xia Siyao, you really got a great deal today, a whole ten thousand yuan in cash!"

Xia Siyao guessed that her sister-in-law must be feeling uncomfortable...

It's human nature, and she can understand it.

He chuckled awkwardly in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, I'm only doing this because of Rou Rou. It's really a pleasant surprise. Tomorrow, I'll treat you to a beauty treatment..."

Upon hearing this, Gan Hongyan hesitated, wanting to say something but then stopping herself...

In the end, I didn't have the heart to remind the other party to be mindful of their boundaries.

I can only hope that I'm just overthinking it!

……

In the living room, Xia Yurou felt a sudden surge of irritation as she watched her older brother and sister-in-law's obsequious manner...

I feel like I've become superfluous!

Before long, the prospective mother-in-law had prepared a large table of food.

At the dinner table, the women were all quite enthusiastic…

After the meal, Cao An sat for a while before preparing to take his leave.

Since I rarely get to come back, I naturally have to go home.

Xia Yurou knew Cao An was going home, and when she saw him off at the exit of the residential compound, her expression was one of unspoken words…

Seeing the girl's expression, Cao An knew exactly what she was thinking.

He casually smiled and said, "Rou Rou, let's leave it at that for today. I'll take you to meet my parents another time."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yurou's face clearly showed some grievance...

"Brother An, why later? Can't we do it today?"

"Don't overthink it. It's the same with all my previous girlfriends; I won't bring any girlfriends home until we're sure we're getting married!"

"Oh, so you're not planning to marry me?"

"How could that be? I just want us to get to know each other better. It'll be good for you, for me, and for everyone. Alright, you can go back now..."

Since Cao An has already said that, what can Xia Yurou say?

I was so proactive yesterday, but for some reason this guy didn't eat me...

She can't possibly be clingy and unreasonable, can she?

He managed a weak smile and nodded.

"Brother An, then come pick me up tomorrow, and we'll go back to Yuncheng together."

Cao An naturally wouldn't refuse such a small request.

After giving a few words of advice, he got into the car and left decisively.

Watching the Range Rover drive away, Xia Yurou bit her lip, turned around dejectedly, and went home.

Gan Hongyan was somewhat surprised to see her daughter return…

"Yu Rou, didn't you go to Xiao Cao's house?"

"Mom, An said he has something important to discuss. We'll visit him later."

Upon hearing her daughter's answer, Gan Hongyan frowned slightly...

What does this good son-in-law mean? He's already come to visit me, but he won't let my daughter go to his house?

There was something ominous about her, deep down.

Xia Siyao, sitting on the sofa, had a flickering gaze, seemingly lost in thought.

……

When Cao An returned home, his parents were just having lunch.

Xiong Yu was pleasantly surprised to see her son return...

"Cao An, you're back without even letting me know. Have you eaten?"

"I came back to take care of some errands; I've already eaten!"

He didn't mention going to Xia Yurou's house in his conversation.

Upon closer inspection, I saw a plate of green vegetables and some scraps of meat on the table…

Cao An couldn't help but chuckle: "Dad, Mom, I give you so much money, and you're eating like this? Is it really necessary to be so frugal?"

Xiong Yu glared at her: "It has both meat and vegetables, and you call that bad?!"

"The money you give me and your dad won't be wasted; we'll save it for your wedding!"

Cao An chuckled speechlessly: "Mom, let's put the matter of getting married aside for now. You and Dad really need to improve your lives. I earn so much money precisely so you can live a better life!"

"You're living in luxury homes now, stop with those outdated ideas!"

The couple remained unconvinced upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Cao An knew that it would be difficult to change his parents' minds with words.

So he went out again and personally recruited two housekeepers at the Luoxian Talent Market.

One does the cleaning, the other cooks…

The basic salary for this kind of full-time housekeeping service is usually around 3 to 5 yuan.

The two aunties Cao An found were both quite outstanding in this industry. After asking around, they said their ideal salary was 5 to 6 yuan.

Cao An waved his hand and both of them opened the bid at 8000 yuan!

After signing the contract, fearing my parents wouldn't agree, I paid them a year's salary in advance!

The two housekeepers were overjoyed to have such a domineering boss.

With such good treatment, Cao An only had one request for the two aunties…

That means you must take good care of your parents, especially when it comes to their food.
