Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 317 - 147: First Love’s Parents Seek Justice, Li Yuan Goes to the Hongmen Banquet_3

Chapter 317: Chapter 147: First Love’s Parents Seek Justice, Li Yuan Goes to the Hongmen Banquet_3

Yang Jinyu suddenly stood up, her expression turning serious. "Then you should go."

Bai Weixi nodded, changed her shoes, and hurriedly ran downstairs.

Seeing her daughter’s behavior, Yang Jinyu said speechlessly, "Old Bai, our precious daughter’s heart is completely tied to that Li Yuan."

"Hold on, don’t you dare give Li Yuan a hard time or embarrass him..."

Bai Tianqi furrowed his brow. "When did I say I was going to give him a hard time?"

Yang Jinyu scoffed. "As if I don’t understand the mindset of you ’daughter’s slaves.’ Xixi has a boyfriend and is even living with Li Yuan. You must be miserable inside, dying to beat the kid up, right?"

Struck by her accurate guess, Bai Tianqi was speechless. He sighed inwardly and looked at Yang Jinyu. "How did you know?"

Yang Jinyu rolled her eyes at him and sneered, "Because back then, my dad really wanted to kill you."

Bai Tianqi shivered as a nightmarish memory flooded his mind...

Downstairs, Li Yuan had just parked his car when he saw Bai Weixi running toward him and throwing herself into his arms for a big hug.

"Honey, you’re finally back! I’ve missed you so, so much."

Li Yuan held Bai Weixi, feeling her pressed against his chest. He rubbed her head and smiled. "Are your parents upstairs?"

Bai Weixi’s nose twitched. She thought she caught a familiar, though very faint, scent on Li Yuan. However, she didn’t think much of it and said cheerfully, "Yes, Mom and Dad are both waiting for you upstairs."

Li Yuan took a case of Maotai and a carton of premium cigarettes from the trunk.

"Bai, does your dad drink? What’s his tolerance like?"

Seeing Li Yuan carrying out a case of liquor and a carton of cigarettes, Bai Weixi frowned. "Honey, what are you doing? You aren’t planning to get my dad drunk, are you?"

Li Yuan chuckled. He did indeed have that in mind. His tolerance for alcohol had been decent even before his rebirth, and now it was even greater. It was unlikely anyone could outdrink him.

"Bai, this is our first meeting. If your dad wants to drink, I have to be ready to drink with him to the very end."

Bai Weixi giggled, stepping forward to hold Li Yuan’s arm and help him with the cigarettes. She pursed her lips. "Honey, my dad doesn’t really drink, and his tolerance isn’t that great either."

"OK, then I’m relieved." Li Yuan’s eyes brightened, and he felt much more at ease.

With that, Li Yuan also took out a handbag and a watch, handing them to Bai Weixi.

"Bai, these are gifts I bought for your parents. You can hold onto them for now."

Bai Weixi accepted the securely packaged LV bag and Rolex watch, her face beaming with delight. Although she didn’t know much about bags and watches and couldn’t even recognize the logos for Louis Vuitton or Rolex, the fact that Li Yuan had thoughtfully bought her parents gifts was enough to show how much he valued her.

Her gaze toward Li Yuan was filled with deep affection. She wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Honey, thank you."

Li Yuan chuckled. "If you really want to thank me, you can do it tonight in bed."

Bai Weixi’s cheeks instantly flushed red. "Hmph! You’re awful, Li Yuan."

Li Yuan laughed. "Haha, Bai, let’s go. I’m getting a little nervous."

Bai Weixi pursed her lips into a small smile. "I’m even more nervous than you are."

"Next time something like this happens, let me know in advance so I can be prepared."

"Honey," she giggled, "you seem pretty well-prepared, don’t you? You even knew to buy gifts for my parents. They’ll definitely be happy." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

I hope so...

As the elevator ascended, Li Yuan’s body stiffened. His heart pounded wildly, and he grew tense again.

The moment the elevator doors slid open, Li Yuan looked out and saw a middle-aged couple already waiting by their apartment door.

Bai Weixi’s father was about 1.8 meters tall. Though over forty, he must have been very handsome in his youth. Right now, he was looking at Li Yuan with a completely straight face, not a hint of a smile on his lips.

As for Bai Weixi’s mother, she was about 1.63 meters tall. Dressed in high heels and cream-colored trousers, she still possessed a mature grace, giving her the air of someone from a big city.

Li Yuan quickly greeted them, "Hello, Uncle. Hello, Auntie."

Bai Tianqi’s gaze lingered for a moment on the case of Maotai Li Yuan was holding, and the coldness in his eyes softened slightly. This kid has some sense, at least.

Yang Jinyu’s eyes were fixed on Li Yuan. Seeing him in person was a completely different experience than seeing him on her phone. He’s half a head taller than my husband, maybe 1.85 or 1.86 meters. He has a handsome, masculine appearance and is a perfect match for my daughter. Excellent, excellent...

"Li Yuan, I feel like I’ve seen you before."

Li Yuan offered a faint smile and smoothly played along. "I’ve seen you both before, too."

Yang Jinyu smiled. "Oh? When did you see me and your Uncle Bai?"

Li Yuan composed himself and replied with a broad, open smile, "Auntie, Bai and I were deskmates for a long time in high school. When I was pursuing her back then, I would quietly follow behind her every day and watch you and Uncle Bai pick her up...

"I used to think about how wonderful it would be if I just had a chance to say a few words to you both, but I was too shy back then, and Bai hadn’t said yes to me yet...

"So today, when I suddenly heard you were coming to Modu and wanted to meet me—I’ll be honest—I was incredibly nervous..."

Listening to Li Yuan describe his high school experiences, Yang Jinyu grew even more interested. Her face was wreathed in smiles, and her gaze became increasingly approving.

"Li Yuan, you don’t have to be so nervous. Her father and I aren’t unapproachable. In fact, I should be thanking you for so often helping Xixi with her studies back in high school."
