Chapter 82: Meeting the Parents

  "Oh my god, I'm so angry! Oh my god, I'm so angry!" Xiao La Jiao was scolding on the other end of the phone as soon as Xiao Ping picked up.

  Upon hearing Song Le's complaints, Xiao Ping could imagine her pouting and couldn't help but ask with a hint of amusement: "What's wrong with you on this festive New Year's day? Who made you angry again?"

  "It's not even my uncle and aunt!" Song Leixin didn't treat Xiao Ping as an outsider, and said to him in a huff: "Do you know what my aunt just called to say? She actually wants me to dress up nicely tonight and take the opportunity of grandfather's birthday party to introduce me to a boyfriend!"

  Xiao Ping unexpectedly said: "You're still in college, how come you're introducing your boyfriend already? Your aunt is being a bit too anxious!"

  Song Le immediately agreed: "That's right, but there's something even more infuriating! Do you know who my aunt wants to introduce me to? It's Tang Jiaqiang, the one you scolded last time!"

  Xiao Ping really didn't like hearing this name, and couldn't help but frown: "How is it that brat again? He still hasn't given up on you, what's wrong with him, can't he keep his word?"

  "Ah ah!" Song Le seemed to have become Xiao Ping's echo, and on the other end of the phone, she said indignantly: "He obviously doesn't take you seriously!"

  Song Le's exaggerated tone made Xiao Ping unable to help but laugh and say, "You're a bit off today, you've been talking until now and haven't even argued with me! Say, is there something you need my help with?"

  Song Lei's face turned slightly red as she was seen through by Xiao Ping, but she still stubbornly said: "I... I didn't have anything to ask for your help, just wanted to vent to you!"

  "Alright then, you've had your say, I'm hanging up if there's nothing else!"

  "Wait a minute!" Song Lei finally couldn't hold back on the other end of the phone, and asked Xiao Ping in a low voice: "That... can you help me again? Just like last time, pretend to be my boyfriend and scare that annoying guy away!"

  It's rare to hear Song Lei speak so softly, Xiao Ping couldn't help but tease: "Haha, when did you become so polite? This doesn't seem like your style!"

  Song Lei also detected Xiao Ping's teasing and couldn't help but ask anxiously and angrily: "Are you going to help or not?"

  "Of course, I'll help!" Xiao Ping deliberately said viciously: "Tang Jiaqiang this kid dares to cheat me, he must be taught a lesson. Tell me where your grandfather is celebrating his birthday, and I'll definitely go!"

  Song Le's anger turned to joy, saying: "This is more like it. 6:30 tonight, at the entrance of the wealthy wine house on People's Road, I'll wait for you! It's settled then, bye!"

  Xiao Ping hastily said in a loud voice: "Don't hang up, first tell me what your parents like!"

  Song Lei asked in confusion: "What do you want to know these for?"

  "You're really stupid!" Xiao Ping said with a scowl: "I, this useless son-in-law, met my parents-in-law for the first time on New Year's Day, and didn't bring anything. Don't I know what they like? Can't I just cater to their tastes?"

  Song Le immediately retorted: "Shameless, who acknowledges you as a son-in-law?"

  Xiao Pingdao said: "Acting is a complete set, do you understand?"

  Although Song Lei appeared to scold Xiao Ping for being shameless, in fact she was secretly delighted and hesitated for a moment before honestly saying: "My dad likes to have a couple of drinks when he's happy, but he doesn't smoke. My mom... really doesn't have any particular preferences."

  "I understand, see you then!" Xiao Ping had already made up his mind and quickly hung up the phone.

  In the late afternoon, Xiao Ping, dressed in a full set of Armani, left the hotel and first went to a nearby tobacco and liquor store to buy two bottles of Wuliangye. Then he went to Tongrentang to buy two boxes of the best bird's nest, and took a taxi straight to the Da Fuhao wine house.

  It was just past six o'clock when the taxi stopped in front of the wine house. Xiao Ping thought he had arrived early, but didn't expect Song Lei to arrive even earlier, and as soon as he got out of the car, he saw Little Chili standing at the door of the wine house.

  Today, Song Lei wore a light yellow goose down jacket, black tight pants and coffee-colored long boots, looking full of youthful vitality. However, even if Little Chili Pepper wears a big coat, the front part is still tightly wrapped, and even such thick winter clothes can't hide her fiery figure curves.

  A beautiful girl with a good figure standing on the street naturally attracted the attention of many passing men. However, Song Leisi, who has a bit of a temper, was not afraid of other people's gaze, but was anxiously looking around, hoping that Xiao Ping would arrive soon.

  Song Lei soon saw Xiao Ping, and immediately smiled and walked up to him. As she approached, her eyes sparkled involuntarily as she looked him up and down, saying: "Wow, you look quite handsome today!"

  "When you meet your parents for the first time, it's always a big deal." Xiao Ping smiled and said: "Why are you standing at the door, part-time welcoming guests?"

  Song Le pouted her delicate lips and said: "Still waiting for you! Afraid you won't come!"

  Xiao Ping smiled and said: "I will definitely keep my promise to you. Look at the things I bought for your parents, are they okay?"

  It wasn't until then that Song Lei noticed the Wuliangye and bird's nest that Xiao Ping was carrying, and she couldn't help but stick out her tongue and say: "Why did you buy such expensive things? I'm just a poor student, I don't have that much money to give you!"

  Xiao Ping deliberately looked up and down at Song Lei, then sneered: "No money is no big deal, you can pay with your body."

  "Get out, rascal!" Song Le glared at Xiao Ping with a fierce expression, but it was clear to everyone that she wasn't actually angry.

  Xiao Ping also felt very relaxed with Song Lei, who had a cheerful personality. As they walked into the wine house laughing and chatting, Xiao Ping couldn't help but ask Little Chili Pepper: "By the way, it seems like your uncle and aunt really liked that Tang Jiaqiang, why did they have to introduce him to you?"

  Song Le rolled her eyes and said, "Tang Jiaqiang's dad is the deputy general manager of Provincial Construction Group. My uncle and aunt co-founded a trading company that has business dealings with Provincial Construction Group, so... you get it?"

  Xiao Ping exclaimed: "Your uncle and aunt are really ruthless, they're even willing to sell their own niece for the sake of doing business."

  Song Le nodded immediately: "Exactly, they're too much! Do you still remember the last time you took me out to dinner and I was in a bad mood? It's because my uncle found out that you taught Tang Jiaqiang a lesson at school. Not only did he go to my house to tattle, but also called me back home and scolded me for a while, telling me to break up with you. How annoying!"

  Xiao Ping couldn't help but ask: "Do your parents know about this? What's their attitude?"

  "My parents are neutral, they don't support or oppose, and let me make my own decision." Since Xiao Ping has already been called to help, Song Lei didn't plan to hide it from him and sighed softly: "My parents are workers of the Provincial Construction Group, so it's also difficult for them."

  "It's really complicated!" Xiao Ping couldn't help but sigh after figuring out the whole story. He had no idea that Song Lei, who usually seemed lively and cheerful, had so many worries.

  Looking at the sulky little pepper, Xiao Ping gently put his arm around her shoulders and said: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I'll definitely drive Tang Jiaqiang away for you!"

  Xiao Ping's words also boosted Song Lei's morale, and she waved her small fist in anger, saying: "Right, we absolutely can't let him get away with it!"

  As they walked into the wine house, Xiao Ping saw a middle-aged woman wearing gold and silver jewelry looking around anxiously. When she saw Song Lei, her face lit up with joy and hurried over to them.

  Song Lei whispered in Xiao Ping's ear: "This is my aunt."

  Xiao La Jiao's words made Xiao Ping involuntarily lift his spirits, knowing that tonight's good show had officially begun.
