A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

Why are your hands a little cold?

The old lady's hands were rough, but she gripped them tightly.

Li Xixue held his hand, unsure of what to say.

The old lady turned to look at Lu Yang: "And you, didn't you know to give him an extra layer of clothing?"

Lu Yang smirked and said, "Grandma, I wasn't actually wearing much."

The old woman said, "You're so thick-skinned, how can you compare to a young girl?"

Lu Yang: "..."

Okay, honey.

The old lady tilted her head and looked Li Xixue up and down several times.

"Young lady, how old are you?"

"Twenty-seven."

"Twenty-seven is a good age, just in the prime of life."

The old lady smiled and nodded, then asked, "Where are you from?"

"Linjiang."

"Local is good, no need to travel far."

Zhou Huifang suddenly interjected from the side, "Mom, don't scare that girl."

Upon hearing this, the old lady realized that she had lost her composure and quickly loosened her grip on his hand.

Li Xixue stood there, her hands hanging down, unsure of what to do.

At that moment, she looked like a student being punished by standing in the corner.

The old lady patted the chair next to her again.

"sit."

Li Xixue sat down.

The old lady picked up a glass of water from the table next to her and handed it over.

"Have some water, are you thirsty?"

"No, thank you, Grandma."

"Don't mention it, this is your home."

"..."

Standing nearby, Lu Yang felt like an outsider. He sighed, then carried the cake and fruit into the kitchen.

Zhou Huifang was busy at the stove, something was stewing in the pot, and steam was rising from it.

"Mom, where do I put the cake?"

Zhou Huifang didn't even turn her head: "Put it on the table first."

Lu Yang placed the cake box on the dining table.

Zhou Huifang picked up the shovel in her hand and flipped it a couple of times, then suddenly lowered her voice.

"Your girlfriend is dressed rather unusually today."

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing much, it's just a little different from last time."

Zhou Huifang wiped her hands.

Rather than being special, it's actually more down-to-earth.

"The outfit you wore last time you came, even though I don't know the brands, it didn't look cheap."

Lu Yang didn't say anything.

Sure enough, women are the ones who notice other women the most.

Zhou Huifang glanced at the direction of the main room again, making sure that Li Xixue couldn't hear her, before continuing to speak.

"By the way, you mentioned last time that her family runs a small business. Just how small is it?"

Lu Yang's hand paused on the cake box for a moment: "Mom, why are you suddenly asking this?"

Zhou Huifang said, "You two have already progressed to this point. Although it's a bit early to talk about marriage, your father and I think you should pick a good day to meet Xiaoxue's parents."

"..."

Lu Yang paused slightly.

Goodness, both sets of parents brought up the same thing at the same time.

But it's good, it saves us some trouble.

It was at this time that...

Voices could be heard coming from outside the courtyard.

"We're here, we're here, this way!"

The voice of a middle-aged man.

Immediately afterwards, the iron gate was pushed open, and the family walked in.

Lu Yang's uncle, Lu Shihao, walked in front, followed by his aunt, Zhang Xiulan, and his cousin, Lu Ming.

Zhang Xiulan was carrying two bags and spoke very loudly.

"Oh, Xiaoyang's back?"

Lu Yang came out of the kitchen and greeted them.

Zhang Xiulan put the things on the table and began to scan them.

Her gaze locked precisely on Li Xixue, who was sitting in the room.

"Oh, so this is Xiaoyang's girlfriend?"

Without saying a word, Zhang Xiulan walked straight towards the house.

Li Xixue was talking to the old lady when she heard the voice, so she looked up, stood up, and said very politely.

"Hello, Auntie."

"Okay, okay."

Zhang Xiulan took her hand, smiling warmly, and asked, "What's your name?"

"Li Xixue".

Li Xixue answered truthfully.

"Good, good, good. This girl not only has a nice name, but she's also beautiful."

Zhang Xiulan turned and called out to the kitchen, "Huifang, your son's girlfriend is quite pretty!"

Zhou Huifang responded from the kitchen, her expression somewhat smug: "My wife, of course I know."

Zhang Xiulan turned back and pulled Li Xixue to sit down.

"Young lady, where do you work?"

coming.

This is a question I can't escape every time my relatives come to visit.

Lu Yang, who was holding a plate of peanuts, paused for a moment.

Li Xixue glanced at him, but he didn't respond. Then she replied, "We work at the same company."

"What company?"

"In the business of... trading."

"Trade, huh? That's great."

Zhang Xiulan nodded, then continued, "What position?"

Li Xixue thought for a moment: "Management position."

Zhang Xiulan responded with an "oh".

She wanted to ask more questions, but Lu Shih-hao coughed, stopping her.

After all, if you start asking all sorts of questions right away, what if you scare the girl away?

After understanding, Zhang Xiulan pursed her lips and didn't ask any further questions, but her eyes were still fixed on Li Xixue.

next second.

There was another commotion in the courtyard.

A middle-aged man walked in, followed by a woman with curly hair.

Zhou Huifang came out of the kitchen and greeted him, "Second brother is here."

It was Lu Yang's uncle and aunt who came.

The young man, carrying two bottles of wine, walked in with a smile: "Sister-in-law, is everyone here today?"

"Is that Xiaoyang's girlfriend?"

Lu Shiming glanced in that direction and hummed in agreement.

After all, this matter has already spread in the "We Are a Loving Family" group chat.

The aunt looked Li Xixue up and down, and finally her gaze fell on the cardigan, where she paused for a moment.

"Hmm, this girl is quite unassuming."

She muttered something to herself.

The couple entered the main room.

Upon seeing the two, Li Xixue instinctively stood up and greeted them.

Auntie smiled and agreed, but her smile was different from Zhang Xiulan's.

Zhang Xiulan was overly enthusiastic, while her aunt's enthusiasm had a bit of something else in it.

What is it?

To look at.

That kind of scrutiny, looking someone up and down, trying to judge their worth from their clothes, shoes, and hairstyle.

Li Xixue was well aware of this kind of gaze.

She had seen too much in the business world.

However, those people usually become respectful after they have looked them over.

Today, after looking her over, the aunt's expression was, "It's alright, I guess."

Li Xixue didn't mind; she was there to be a junior.

People gradually arrived.

Lu Jianguo was tidying up tables and chairs in the backyard, preparing to set up two tables in the yard.

When my aunt came in, she was carrying two bags of health supplements in one hand and a cake box in the other.

"Sister Huifang, I also brought a cake with me, just in case you forgot to buy one." The aunt smiled and handed over the box.

Zhou Huifang was busy in the kitchen, her hands covered in oil, when she called out, "Just put it on the table."

The aunt was carrying the cake when she saw the cake box already on the table.

White.

But it's not just ordinary white.

The material of that box is obviously different.
