The appearance of Wei Jinfeng did not have much of an impact on the old Su couple.
Not long after they left Qingyun Zhai, they put the matter behind them and focused on choosing a gift for their future daughter-in-law's mother.
Unknowingly, it was already dark.
Ning Xiaolan still hadn't decided on the best gift.
After reminding her a few times that "it's getting late," Old Su had no choice but to call his daughter to pick him up.
Su Ziyu and Li Qianfan arrived by car at exactly 8:30.
Unknowingly, Ning Xiaolan had been sifting through gifts there for an hour.
Upon seeing her daughter and son-in-law, Ning Xiaolan first asked when her future daughter-in-law's mother would arrive. When she learned that they were almost there, she began to panic.
Under Li Qianfan's suggestion, she ended up buying a glass-type jade bracelet for hundreds of thousands of yuan.
A bracelet worth hundreds of thousands couldn't compare to one worth tens of millions, of course.
However, it could still barely express Mother Lan's respect for her future daughter-in-law's mother.
The family of four hurriedly got into the car and sped towards Victoria.
The old Su couple naturally wouldn't tell the young couple about "encountering" Wei Jinfeng at Qingyun Zhai.
Although it wasn't anything shameful, it would still be awkward to mention it, wouldn't it?
On the road.
Ning Xiaolan asked Li Qianfan how the private room at Victoria was being prepared.
"Don't worry."
Li Qianfan replied, "Manager Mo is personally preparing it, so it won't be a problem."
When the two mothers-in-law met tonight, they would need someone to accompany them.
Mo Hongti, who had risked her life to save Su Ziyu a few days ago, was undoubtedly the best candidate.
Not only was she tactful and knew how to handle things, but she was also the general manager of Victoria.
"Qianfan."
Su Ziyu thought for a moment and said, "Isn't Director Dai Paipai also staying at Victoria? Ask Sister Hongti to invite her to join us tonight. More people will not only make it livelier but also effectively ease any potential awkwardness between the mothers-in-law."
Awkwardness?
My mother has never known what awkwardness is.
If Dai Paipai were to join, she would only carry on my father's style of "seeing a beautiful woman and wanting to bring her home."
Absolutely not!
Li Qianfan thought to himself, and just as he was about to find a polite excuse to forbid Dai Paipai from joining, Old Su and his wife nodded in unison, "Yes, yes. More people will make it lively. And more importantly, Dai Paipai seems like she's good at talking too."
Before Li Qianfan could say anything.
Old Su volunteered and called Dai Paipai.
He cordially invited her to join the Su family's banquet for their future daughter-in-law's mother that evening.
What would Dai Paipai, who had been staying at Victoria after work, do when she received Old Su's call?
Of course—
She agreed without a second thought!
"What are you doing?"
Li Qianfan frowned slightly, glancing at his mature wife from the corner of his eye, and thought, "Do you know that you're inviting a wolf into the fold?"
However, he could also understand why the Su family of three were doing this.
It was precisely because they attached great importance to their future daughter-in-law's mother that they hoped to invite another "presentable" person to be a companion.
Li Qianfan could only keep his thoughts to himself.
Old Su, in a very tactful tone on the phone, told Dai Paipai that his future daughter-in-law's mother was mentally unstable and to avoid any unpleasantness.
Dai Paipai almost stomped her feet as she assured him that she would definitely put on her best performance and work with Mo Hongti to provide the best service.
More than ten minutes later, Su Ziyu drove into the Victoria parking lot.
"Qianfan, call your mother-in-law again and ask her where she is."
Before getting out of the car, Su Ziyu took out a small mirror and started checking if there was any dust on her face.
So nervous.
The ugly bride was finally going to meet her mother-in-law—
"She, she."
Li Qianfan took out his phone and was about to put it to his ear when he saw someone at the west side of the main entrance and smiled wryly, "She's already here."
"Ah? Where is Mother-in-law?"
Su Ziyu's hand trembled, and she quickly put down the small mirror and looked around.
On the west side of Victoria's main entrance, someone was squatting.
It was a woman.
Her hair was disheveled, and her clothes were tattered.
She hugged her knees and looked around.
Following her gaze, Su Ziyu also saw the person.
Coincidentally, several security guards from the club also saw the person and quickly walked over.
What kind of place is Victoria?
It was not only Qingyun's most high-end nightclub but also one of the best hotels.
It was absolutely a place where commoners did not enter.
Let alone seeing a beggar woman here.
The security guards would definitely chase her away upon seeing her.
"Oh no, they're going to drive Mother-in-law away!"
Su Ziyu realized it at a glance and, without thinking, opened the door and jumped out.
Old Su and his wife, who had just gotten out of the car, were still tidying their clothes.
Suddenly, they saw their daughter jump out of the car and run towards the main entrance, and quickly cautioned, "Silly girl! Your mother-in-law is about to arrive. Why are you still in such a hurry?"
"Wife!"
Old Su pulled Ning Xiaolan's arm, "Look at the person squatting on the west side of the main entrance."
Ning Xiaolan quickly looked.
Li Qianfan, sitting in the car, was still quietly watching that person.
That was the mother who gave birth to him and raised him!!
In a child's eyes, a mother is the most beautiful woman in the world.
She is the woman whose happiness in her remaining years a child must ensure when they grow up!
But—
"I'm so selfish."
Li Qianfan looked at his mother and whispered to himself, "To ensure Ziyu wouldn't feel inferior, I made my mother pretend to be a beggar. When she received my notice, did her heart ache? Did she think of the old saying, 'When you get a wife, you forget your mother'?"
He suddenly felt like he was truly a scoundrel.
His nose also inexplicably felt sore.
He just wanted to slap himself a few times.
But as things stood—
Li Qianfan could only tighten his lips and open the door to get out.
Just as Su Ziyu ran over, two women also quickly walked out of Victoria's main hall.
One wore red.
One wore black.
The black and red complemented each other, recreating the stunning "twin beauties" aura that Lan Yunhai and Murong Mingyuan had when they visited Victoria that night.
As Mo Hongti walked out of the hall, she saw Su Ziyu rush past the steps.
She subconsciously looked in that direction.
Upon seeing the beggar woman—
And then seeing several security guards—Mo Hongti's heart trembled, and she instantly understood why Su Ziyu had run over.
"Hey, this is not a place you can stay,"
After the security guards approached, they said to the beggar woman, "Hurry up and leave."
The beggar woman ignored them, only looking at the approaching Su Ziyu with a look of satisfaction in her eyes.
And in her heart, she quickly began to score.
"Long legs, ten points."
"No common pigeon-toed gait, nor outward turning feet, ten points."
"Height around 1.72 meters, just right, ten points."
"Waist flexibility, pelvic span, chest prominence, golden proportion."
"Her small face is also acceptable."
"She's even more outstanding in person than in her profile picture."
"It's a pity that Du Junlin is by no means inferior to her."
"Alas, it's all karma."
Thinking of that girl who was nurtured by several masters working together, Li Wujiang couldn't help but sigh.
She didn't care about age.
She even supported her son finding a woman older than him to marry.
After all, Li Wujiang's husband, Li Xiao, was practically raised by her!
"Wait, wait."
Su Ziyu ran over, first bowed to the security guards, apologizing for disturbing their normal work, and then said anxiously, "This lady is an honored guest we invited."
Huh?
The security guards at Victoria were stunned.
When Su Ziyu's family of four came here that night, they had all personally witnessed Manager Mo and Vice Manager Dai (Dai Paipai now held an honorary vice-manager position at Victoria, essentially freeloading) welcoming them with their twin beauty charm.
VIP!
Su Ziyu was definitely a VIP at Victoria.
But she was now saying that this beggar woman was a guest she had invited.
This—
Before the security guards could understand, they heard the sound of sharp high heels urgently tapping on the ground from behind.
They instinctively turned their heads to look.
Wow!
The black and red beauties had arrived together in full attire again.
"Stand down!"
Mo Hongti waved the security guards away before they could say anything.
"So this beggar woman really is a guest."
The security guards understood and quickly bowed and retreated.
Su Ziyu looked at Li Wujiang, bowed, and softly asked, "Excuse me, are you Li Qianfan's mother?"
Her voice was also pleasant—
Li Wujiang secretly gave her another ten points, then "smiled foolishly," deliberately thickening her voice and saying, "Li Qianfan is my son. Who are you?"
Oh my.
It really is Mother-in-law!
Su Ziyu's waist bent even lower, and her voice became even more pleasant, "I am Qianfan's wife, Su Ziyu."
"Oh, so you're his wife?"
Li Wujiang looked as if she suddenly realized something, raised her hand to wipe her nose, and stood up.
"Yes, I am his wife."
Su Ziyu looked poised and generous, "Mom, you've had a tiring journey."
"It's alright."
Li Wujiang said, looking at Mo Hongti and Dai Paipai, and asked, "And who are you two?"
The black and red beauties bowed together and greeted, "Auntie, I am Mo Hongti (Dai Paipai), a friend of Qianfan."
"Oh."
Li Wujiang said "Oh" and pretended to be dazed, "Where is my unpromising son?"
Li Qianfan, leading the old Su couple over, walked a few steps ahead and reached her.
Looking at his mother—
Li Qianfan raised his hand and hugged her, resting his chin on her left shoulder, and closed his eyes.
His voice was very low, but with a clear sob, "Mom. I'm sorry."
