Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 330 - 150 Worn Out Mother-in-law: I Want This Son-in-law_4

But thinking of Yang Jinyu’s personality, he swallowed his words.

"It’s already eleven in the morning. Are Xixi and Yuan coming back for lunch?"

Yang Jinyu shook her head and frowned. "I don’t know. They went out early this morning and didn’t say where they were going."

Bai Tianqi looked at Yang Jinyu with hopeful eyes. "Jinyu, let me see that Rolex Yuan gave me yesterday. A watch worth over a hundred thousand... I’ve never seen one in real life."

"Honestly. Look how pleased you are with yourself." Yang Jinyu pursed her lips, rolled her eyes at Bai Tianqi, and carefully handed him the Rolex from Li Yuan.

Seeing Bai Tianqi fumbling to put it on, Yang Jinyu couldn’t help but remind him, "Old Bai, be careful! Don’t drop it. It’s worth over a hundred thousand."

Bai Tianqi cradled the Rolex in his palm, inspecting it from every angle. He was thrilled with it but also felt it was a bit of a waste. He sighed. "This gold Rolex costs as much as a car. I’m tempted to return it and trade it for one. If we add the dowry we prepared for Xixi and bite the bullet, we could even get a BBA."

For once, Yang Jinyu didn’t object. This Rolex is just an ornament; it’s not like you can eat it. And even if Bai Tianqi wanted to wear it out, he wouldn’t dare. It’s far too expensive. If he actually wore it out, some petty thief might just rob him in broad daylight. The public safety in their small county town was nothing like a major city like Modu.

"Old Bai, that’s just talk for when we’re at home," she said. "Don’t let Yuan hear you. We’d be looked down upon, and Xixi would be so embarrassed she wouldn’t be able to hold her head up."

"I was just saying," Bai Tianqi replied impatiently. "It’s not like I’d actually return it."

Just as they were speaking, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Bai Weixi ran in excitedly. "Dad, Mom, guess what Li Yuan and I were just doing!"

Yang Jinyu chuckled. "Mom can’t guess. What were you two up to?"

Bai Weixi dangled a Mercedes-Benz key in her hand. "Mom, look at this!"

"A car key," Yang Jinyu blurted out. Suddenly, her expression froze. She realized the key in Bai Weixi’s hand was different from yesterday’s—the logo wasn’t BMW, but Mercedes-Benz.

Her voice trembling, Yang Jinyu looked at her daughter and Li Yuan. "Xixi, Yuan, did you two go buy a car?"

Bai Tianqi also asked, looking puzzled, "What? You bought another car?"

Bai Weixi beamed and placed the Mercedes-Benz key in Yang Jinyu’s hand. "Mom, Dad, it’s a Mercedes-Benz key. Li Yuan took me to the 4S dealership just now to pick it up. He said it’s for you two to drive. Here are the vehicle registration certificate, insurance, and other documents."

Yang Jinyu’s body trembled as she stared at the key in her hand, then looked at Li Yuan in utter disbelief.

"Yuan, this is too much. You just gave us such an extravagant gift yesterday. How can you give us a car today?"

Bai Tianqi also looked at Li Yuan with a complicated expression. He took a deep breath, his heart not at all calm. Just moments ago, they were discussing trading the Rolex for a car. In the blink of an eye, their daughter’s boyfriend had bought them a brand-new Mercedes. Things don’t even happen this fast in dreams.

"Yuan, this is far too valuable," he began. "We were already being presumptuous by accepting the gold Rolex yesterday..."

Li Yuan cut him off with a calm smile. "Mr. Bai, Mrs. Yang, we’re all family. Please don’t be so distant. I should be the one thanking you for entrusting Bai to me. Please consider the car a small token of my appreciation. Besides," he chuckled, "the car is registered in Bai’s name. It’s my gift to her."

Li Yuan winked at Bai Weixi. "Right, Bai?"

Bai Weixi understood his cue and quickly nodded. "Dad, Mom, this car is a gift from Li Yuan to me, and I’ve already accepted it."

Bai Tianqi and Yang Jinyu exchanged a look, only able to nod with a mixture of helplessness and delight. This son-in-law was too generous; they simply couldn’t keep up.

Bai Tianqi looked at Li Yuan and sighed. "Yuan, we really feel we don’t deserve this."

Li Yuan smiled. "Mr. Bai, Mrs. Yang, I actually have something to attend to. I have to go on a business trip, so I won’t be able to accompany you for the next couple of days. I hope you don’t mind. Just let Bai show you around the area and relax."

Li Yuan then looked at Bai Weixi, ruffling her hair with a smile. "Bai, take good care of your parents for the next few days."

"I know," Bai Weixi giggled, hugging his arm.

Hearing that Li Yuan was leaving on a business trip, Yang Jinyu didn’t dare to ask for details. "Yuan, travel safely. Don’t worry about your uncle and me."

Li Yuan smiled. "Mr. Bai, Mrs. Yang, my flight is at two this afternoon. I have to go back and get ready, so I won’t be able to stay for lunch."

"Yuan, you should at least have lunch before you go," Yang Jinyu quickly urged.

Li Yuan gave a small smile. "It’s alright, Mrs. Yang. I need to stop by the company first to get some documents."

"Alright then. We’ll see you off."

"Mrs. Yang, Mr. Bai, there’s really no need."

"It’s no trouble. We’ll just walk you downstairs."

Unable to refuse, Li Yuan could only accept. "Alright then."

On the way down, Bai Weixi paid no mind to her parents’ presence, clinging tightly to Li Yuan’s arm, her eyes full of reluctance to see him go.

"Li Yuan, you have to message me when you arrive safely in Shancheng."

"Don’t worry, I will," Li Yuan smiled.

After watching Li Yuan drive away in the BMW X6, Yang Jinyu glanced at the brand-new Mercedes-Benz parked downstairs. She then turned to look at Bai Tianqi and Bai Weixi.

"Old Bai, Xixi," she said with deep earnestness, "I’ve made my decision. He’s the one I want for our son-in-law."
