Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 318 - 147: First Love’s Parents Seek Justice, Li Yuan Goes to the Hongmen Banquet_4

Chapter 318: Chapter 147: First Love’s Parents Seek Justice, Li Yuan Goes to the Hongmen Banquet_4

Li Yuan humbly answered, "Auntie, actually, most of the time, it’s Bai who tutors me. My English grades are rather poor."

Yang Jinyu hadn’t expected Li Yuan to be so modest, and the last shred of doubt in her heart was dispelled.

"That’s because you and Xixi motivate each other, and both of your grades have improved. I’m very satisfied that you both got into Daxia University."

Bai Tianqi listened from the side, feeling extremely awkward. Since when was a high school romance spoken of so positively? If they could truly motivate and improve each other’s grades, schools would start advocating for it...

Seeing Li Yuan chatting so enthusiastically with her mother, Bai Weixi felt the knot of anxiety in her chest loosen considerably.

"Mom, let’s not stand here at the door. Let’s go inside."

"Yes, let’s go inside." Yang Jinyu chuckled. Her gaze shifted and fell upon the gift in Bai Weixi’s hands. Upon seeing the familiar logo, she blurted out, "LV."

Bai Weixi looked at Yang Jinyu in confusion. "Mom, what’s this LV you mentioned?"

Yang Jinyu smiled but didn’t explain. If Li Yuan weren’t there, she would have loved to grab the LV bag from her daughter’s hand to see what was inside.

Once inside the room, Li Yuan casually placed the Maotai and Chunghwa cigarettes on the floor and gave Bai Weixi a meaningful look. Taking the cue, Bai Weixi grinned and handed the gift to Yang Jinyu.

"Mom, Dad, this is a gift from Li Yuan. I hope you like it."

Yang Jinyu had been dying to see what gift Li Yuan had bought, but the decorum expected of an elder made her suppress her curiosity and politely decline.

"Li Yuan, you’ve just started university. You shouldn’t spend money so recklessly."

"Your uncle and I appreciate the thought, but you should take the gift back and return it."

Hearing her mother refuse to accept it, Bai Weixi grew anxious and quickly grabbed Yang Jinyu’s arm. "Mom, this is just a small token of Li Yuan’s appreciation. Please accept it."

Yang Jinyu looked helplessly at her silly daughter. I was just being polite. How could I truly refuse? Wouldn’t that be a slap in the face to my wonderful son-in-law?

Li Yuan walked over, took the gift from Bai Weixi, opened the packaging, and took out the handbag meant for Yang Jinyu.

"Auntie, since this is our first meeting, I wasn’t sure what you’d like, so I chose this handbag for you."

Li Yuan placed the bag directly into Yang Jinyu’s hands.

Yang Jinyu fell in love with it at first sight. Having grown up in a big city and paying close attention to fashion, her taste was naturally refined, and she recognized luxury brands.

"Yuan, this bag is too valuable. I can’t accept it," she demurred, but her hands held fast to the bag.

Li Yuan understood perfectly and smiled. "Mrs. Yang, I chose this bag especially for you. It suits your temperament perfectly. Besides, it isn’t such a valuable gift. Please accept it."

Yang Jinyu hesitated, looking at Li Yuan with an expression even happier than when she looked at Bai Tianqi. The smile on her face could no longer be hidden.

"Well, then, I’ll be so bold as to accept it. But you mustn’t give such expensive gifts next time."

Hearing Yang Jinyu repeatedly mention how valuable it was, Bai Weixi asked with confusion, "Mom, Li Yuan, is this handbag very expensive?"

"Ahem, it’s about average," Li Yuan coughed lightly and handed another bag to Bai Weixi. "Bai, this one is for you. I hope you like it."

Seeing that she had a gift too, Bai Weixi’s face lit up with joy. She examined the handbag carefully, peeled off the transparent plastic wrapping, and suddenly noticed a receipt.

"Huh, what’s this?" she asked curiously. "It even has a price on it. Original price 16,800 yuan, 10% off, actual price 15,120 yuan..."

Bai Weixi’s hands trembled. Her eyes widened as she stared at the receipt, then looked back at Li Yuan in disbelief.

"Li Yuan, this bag is worth 15,120 yuan?"

"That’s way too expensive! It’s just a bag, isn’t it?"

Listening to her daughter’s shocked cries, Yang Jinyu couldn’t help but shake her head. It’s normal for her, just starting university, not to understand these things. It’s a luxury item. Of course it’s expensive.

She grew even more curious about the price of her own handbag. It couldn’t be cheap, either. Her gaze toward Li Yuan softened even more.

Li Yuan saw Bai Weixi’s shocked expression and thought to himself, What a perfect assist. Now, for something even more shocking. An LV bag won over my prospective mother-in-law; let’s see if a Rolex gold watch can win over my prospective father-in-law.
