Chapter 85 Meeting Xixi's Family
On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Yuan and Liu Yifei each took a plane to Wuhan.
Her father, An Shaokang, had already received the news and returned to his hometown, where he was waiting for their arrival.
Although Liu Yifei spends most of her time with her mother and is more affectionate towards her mother, he is, after all, her biological father.
It just so happens that her grandfather, Kong Jun, is also in his hometown, so this is Lu Yuan's first real meeting with Xi Xi's parents.
Liu Xiaoli had already been in Wuhan for a while; she had gone home to spend the New Year with her parents.
This time, Lu Yuan also brought many bags, including carefully selected gifts and some local specialties.
When Lu Yuan arrived at the airport, Xi Xi's cousin picked him up.
The main concern was that Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli were being watched by paparazzi, in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
Liu Yifei arrived at Wuhan before Lu Yuan and was already waiting at her maternal grandfather's house.
"Hello, cousin." Lu Yuan greeted her politely.
"Hello, Lu Yuan," Xi Xi's cousin replied with a smile.
Looking at Lu Yuan, he realized he was indeed very much like his cousin had described; no wonder his cousin liked him.
These two are a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
Moreover, according to my cousin, he's quite talented and not the kind of man who achieves success through humble means. With his background, he'd be a good match for my cousin.
She was quite surprised when she first heard the news.
I never imagined that my celebrity cousin would actually have a boyfriend, and that they'd even met each other's parents.
The main problem is that the speed seems a bit too fast!
"Lu Yuan, how did you manage to win over our Xixi? I thought she was incapable of dating!"
"It's fate, I guess. I don't know exactly how we got together; it just seemed like we naturally came together."
"Could it be that our Xixi was the one pursuing you?"
"No, it must be me who pursued Xixi."
The two chatted as they drove, passing the time in the car.
We're all young people, and although there's an age gap, we still get along well.
When they arrived at Xixi's maternal grandmother's house, Xixi ran out as soon as she heard the car.
Then a large group of people appeared behind her; it was quite a spectacle.
The main problem is that the elderly are in their hometown, and her uncle's family all returned to their hometown during the Spring Festival.
There were also some people from her aunt's family, including her cousins; it looked like a large, lively family.
They all heard that Xixi was bringing her boyfriend home, so they came out of curiosity to come and see.
Everyone knows that Xixi is a very popular star, and there are countless people who pursue her.
The fact that Xixi took a liking to someone truly made her as intriguing as a national treasure.
Seeing such a large-scale event, Lu Yuan was fortunate to be mentally prepared, and he was also a man who had seen the world.
I wasn't too nervous, since it would be him and Xixi living together in the future, not with these relatives.
The most important thing is to gain the approval of Auntie and Xixi. Other people's opinions don't matter and won't affect their relationship.
"Lu Yuan, this is your maternal uncle, and also your aunts—" Liu Xiaoli introduced them to Lu Yuan.
He greeted everyone, and it felt like I was back in my childhood.
If you don't know any relatives, your parents have to introduce you first, and then you have to call them by name, otherwise you'll get the wrong name.
"Let's go inside first, Mom and Dad are still waiting inside," Liu Yifei's uncle gestured for them to go inside.
Then Lu Yuan carried both large suitcases into the house, because he didn't know whose car it was.
We can only bring them all up at once, as some of the items are for Grandpa Xixi and the others.
Upon seeing Xixi's maternal grandparents, Lu Yuan sighed in admiration, realizing that it was indeed due to good genes; otherwise, they wouldn't have given birth to such a beautiful aunt.
Then it was Xixi's generation.
"Happy New Year, Grandpa and Grandma," Lu Yuan greeted the two elders with a smile.
"Happy New Year, come and sit down," Grandma Xixi called out.
The two elderly people were in relatively good health and were very welcoming to Lu Yuan.
At this point, he started chatting with the two elders about everyday topics, since they were the most important people there.
Liu Yifei's cousins were all very curious, and then they pulled her aside to chat quietly.
Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei had no objections, and of course, the two elders wouldn't have any either.
Her uncle and aunt were just curious; they couldn't possibly object to anything.
And so, Lu Yuan spent his second day of junior high at Xi Xi's maternal grandmother's house, and he gained the approval of the whole family there.
The gifts were given out one by one after the meal, and the two elderly people were particularly interested in the local specialties.
Early on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Xiaoli drove the two of them to her grandfather's house.
An Shaokang had already remarried. Knowing that his daughter would be bringing her future son-in-law to visit today, he did not allow his new wife and daughter to stay in their hometown.
He knew that Liu Xiaoli would also be coming along, which would be somewhat awkward.
When the three arrived at her grandfather's house, An Shaokang had been waiting for a long time.
"Hello, Uncle."
"Hello, please come in." An Shaokang nodded.
He still felt a little guilty towards the girl he was dating, but there was nothing he could do if she wasn't close to him.
So he could only agree with his daughter's boyfriend; he dared not voice any objections.
That would only make his daughter disown him even more!
Upon entering the house, he saw an old man sitting there leisurely, looking quite energetic.
Lu Yuan knew that this old man had fought in wars, and had even fought the Japanese in real combat.
Therefore, Lu Yuan truly respected this kind of elderly person.
His grandfather also fought in battles, but only on the Korean Peninsula; his resume wasn't as impressive as Liu Yifei's grandfather's.
"Grandpa, Happy New Year. My name is Lu Yuan, you can just call me Xiao Lu." Lu Yuan greeted him respectfully as he approached him.
"Xiao Lu, right? Don't be shy, sit down and let's talk." Kong Jun nodded, then turned to look at Liu Yifei.
"Xixi, come here and let Grandpa see you. It's been so long since I've seen you."
"Grandpa—" Liu Yifei walked to his side with a smile, squatted down, and slowly began to massage her grandfather.
At this moment, Liu Xiaoli also greeted Kong Jun, and the two exchanged a few pleasantries.
So many years have passed, everything has faded, and there's no discomfort when we meet.
In addition, Liu Yifei and her grandfather already had a good relationship.
Seeing Liu Yifei massaging her grandfather, Lu Yuan decided to help as well.
The old man tried to stop him, but Lu Yuan wouldn't listen; this was his chance to prove himself.
"Just let him massage you, Xiao Lu is quite diligent," Liu Xiaoli chimed in with a smile.
While massaging Kong Jun, he inquired about Lu Yuan's situation. He was quite pleased that Lu Yuan also had a grandfather who had fought in a war.
However, Lu Yuan's grandfather had already passed away, which he found somewhat regrettable.
He was planning to meet her sometime, but now that opportunity is gone!
An Shaokang was satisfied with Lu Yuan's attitude, but he didn't dare to get angry even though his daughter had been taken advantage of by a pig.
My heart was filled with bitterness! My eyes were brimming with tears of sorrow.
But his daughter just likes this guy, what can he do about it!
