Forced to Date a Big Shot

Panda Novel

Not only was Xue Sheng confused, but even Ye Li and Xue Xi looked at Xiang Huai in confusion.

Lin Jing coughed and did not speak, mainly because she did not know how to speak.

Instantly, the courtyard fell silent.

This strange silence made Fang Yi feel disdainful.

Awkward. Too awkward.

This pair of parents from the Xue family was not presentable, right?

In the beginning, Mrs. Xue was too solicitous. This time, they looked at Xiang Huai without saying a word. It was really a huge accident scene.

Although she was here to watch the fun, Fang Yi did not want the situation to become too ugly.

After all, she was still present. This would make her seem useless.

Hence, Fang Yi took a step forward and broke the silence. “Everyone, don’t stand in the courtyard. Let’s go in first.”

She pointed at the living room and pretended to be the host. “Auntie Lin prepared a sumptuous meal for everyone!”

This sentence broke the silence.

Ye Li glanced at Xiang Huai and then at Xue Xi, thinking that it was Xue Xi who had called him.

Xue Xi thought that Ye Li had called her.

There was no need to mention Xue Sheng. Seeing that his wife and daughter did not even ask why Xiang Huai was here, he swallowed his words. After all, that would make it seem like he did not welcome him in front of so many people.

Hence, they really followed Fang Yi’s words and entered the living room.

Just as they entered, Lin Jing held Ye Li’s arm and sat on the sofa. Xue Xi sat beside Ye Li while Xue Sheng could not help but size up the villa.

Cough.

He was still a little agitated. After all, this was someone he often saw on television. It was that Mr. Xiang!

The Xiang family was one of the oldest families in China. They had always had a high status in the country and had a distinguished identity. If this was the ancient times, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were royalty.

If he were to do business in Bin City, he would never meet such a family in his life and would not interact with them.

After taking a few glances, he turned around and saw Lin Jing sizing him up. Hence, he smiled awkwardly. “It seems too much to ask you to prepare food for us!”

Xue Sheng was really embarrassed. After all, Lin Jing was his wife’s best friend. When one visited the house of the best friend of one’s wife, one should definitely say a few polite words.

However, while he was sizing up the Lin residence’s decorations, Fang Yi was also sizing him up. When she heard this, she curled her lips again.

This must be the first time that the Xues were meeting this family. He was too humble!

Even though their statuses were not on the same level, it was too much to look down on them for trying to please her.

Lin Jing panicked when she heard this.

Her best friend coming with her husband and her daughter-in-law’s parents visiting were two completely different concepts. One look at Xue Sheng and one could tell that there was a misunderstanding.

However, she still did not dare to explain. Hence, she said awkwardly, “I’m just afraid that you guys won’t be able to eat what you like. It’s best if you can eat well.”

Hearing this, Fang Yi could not help but sigh.

Auntie Lin was too good.

How could she be so good-tempered when facing such parents…

However, this was her upbringing and manners, but Uncle Xiang was different. Uncle Xiang hated Xue Sheng’s kind of fawning attitude the most.

Just as she thought this, a car entered again. The housekeeper said, “Sir is back.”

Her words made everyone in the living room stand up again.

Lin Jing explained, “He was still out on a business trip yesterday and came back overnight. However, there was a traffic jam in the capital, so he arrived later than you guys.”

Ye Li hurriedly waved her hands. “It’s fine.”

After saying that, she whispered into her ear, “I’m just a little nervous to see your husband.”

Lin Jing hurriedly patted her hand. “Don’t worry. He’s definitely more nervous than you guys.”

Ye Li: “?”

The two of them spoke very softly, and Fang Yi did not hear what they were saying clearly. Seeing that everyone was about to go out to welcome him, Lin Jing hurriedly said, “No need. Xiao Yi, go to the door and fetch him. We don’t have to all go. You guys are the guests.”

Why should she ask them to fetch Old Xiang?!

Although everyone did not leave, they still stood and looked at the door.

Before Fang Yi could leave, she saw someone walking in.

This was Xue Xi’s first time meeting this Uncle Xiang.

Although her parents had said that they had seen him on television, he looked just right in real life.

Dressed in a black suit, he had a walking posture that made him exude a certain aura.

Although he was already 50 years old, one could still tell that he had maintained himself well. Other than having some fine wrinkles, he gave off an oppressive feeling as though he had been in a high position for a long time.

The moment he entered, the entire room fell silent and everyone turned to look at him.

Fang Yi could not help but look at Xue Sheng and saw that he was indeed a little agitated. Although he was trying his best to restrain himself, he still looked like someone who had not seen the world.

She smirked again.

Lin Jing had already walked over. She tugged at Old Xiang’s sleeve and lowered her voice. “How should I introduce you guys?”

Should she introduce him as a best friend would or clarify matters?

When Old Xiang heard this, he knew that his wife had yet to settle this matter.

His sharp eyes pressed on Xiang Huai as he chided, “What are you doing here?”

He was already so old, yet he still relied on his mother.

He was clearly the one who wanted to marry the girl, but he did not solve the problem. He only knew how to make Lin Jing rush to the front while he pretended to be innocent and pitiful. Mr. Xiang really did not know who his son’s cunningness came from!

His reprimanding tone shocked them.

Before Xiang Huai could raise an eyebrow, Xue Sheng, who had always wanted him to break up with his daughter, stood in front of him. “Mr. Xiang, this is my daughter’s boyfriend, my future son-in-law. He came with us.”

Xue Sheng straightened his back.

To be honest, he was in awe of this person.

However, to be able to develop a small hardware store into what the Xue family business was today, Xue Sheng was a bold person!

This person actually spoke to his son-in-law so rudely. That meant that he did not care about them!

How could this do?

His wife was not friends with Lin Jing to flatter others. Even if he had to offend the Xiang family, he could not let his own people be bullied!

Seeing that his future in-laws were going against him, Old Xiang was silent for a moment before looking at Xiang Huai. “Aren’t you going to introduce them?”

Everyone: “?”

Fang Yi, who was standing at the side and planning to watch a good show: “?”
