The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 922 - 439

Mother Lu finished her phone call and came back to see a young man sitting upright, engaging in a pleasant conversation with her, which left her with mixed feelings. It was clear to see that this young boy was handsome and had very good upbringing, exuding a rare kind of charisma.

Mother Lu had to admit, she liked a boy like this. However, when it came to him becoming her son-in-law, she had her concerns.

Father Lu, being a typical man, didn’t think as much as Mother Lu did. He initially disliked Xiao Xuyang, feeling that this boy had stolen his daughter whom he had painstakingly raised for twenty years. But after truly talking to him, he was particularly surprised.

This young man, in his early twenties, was no ordinary scholar. It was rare for young men his age to engage so well in conversation with him. Moreover, talking with this young man felt incredibly comfortable, like chatting with an old friend he had known for years, and there seemed to be endless topics to discuss.

Mother Lu was initially worried about her husband’s quirky temperament and his tendency to show a stern face to others. Generally, not many people could get along with her husband. But what she saw coming out was them enjoying their conversation immensely.

She was really surprised.

And Mother Lu was even more curious about how this young man and her daughter had met. Last night when her daughter came home, she only mentioned having a boyfriend, without asking for more details. Even if they asked, they couldn’t get much out of her.

Mother Lu thought, while her daughter was not around, to ask.

Mother Lu went straight over and squeezed beside Father Lu, pushing him slightly aside: "Hey, what are you doing?" Father Lu, interrupted, slightly furrowed his brow.

"I was talking."

"Xiao Xuyang, Auntie, my name is Xiao Xuyang, you can just call me Xuyang," Xiao Xuyang replied quickly, catching on to the conversation.

"Yes, I was talking with Xuyang," Mother Lu said to herself feeling very satisfied.

"Didn’t you see I was talking to Xuyang when you suddenly barged in?" Father Lu said discontentedly. He was enjoying his conversation with Xiao Xuyang, and here his wife was interrupting them. freeweɓnovel-cøm

Father Lu indicated he was really upset now.

"Didn’t you see I am dealing with something important? You’ll have plenty of chances to talk to Xuyang later." Mother Lu glared at Father Lu, feeling her husband really lacked situational awareness.

Unaware of priorities. Nothing could be more important than their daughter’s significant life events.

Speaking of which, Mother Lu was also anxious, worried about her own daughter. While other parents worry about their children dating too early, she was anxious that her daughter, already in her early twenties, had never been in a romantic relationship.

She feared, influenced by her cousin’s issues, her daughter might be afraid to enter a relationship or find a partner. She even feared her daughter would end up alone.

Mother Lu also thought that if her daughter didn’t have someone by her senior year in college, she would have to start arranging blind dates for her.

Father Lu knew his wife’s constant worries and understood the importance of their daughter’s significant life events. Although he felt uncomfortable, he could only pick up the cup beside him and take a sip of tea.

He suddenly felt that maybe having Xiao Xuyang as his son-in-law wouldn’t be a bad thing. At last, there would be someone to join him for tea, chat, and play chess.

Mother Lu saw that Father Lu finally stopped talking, and she turned her head back to Xiao Xuyang with satisfaction, "Then Auntie will call you Xuyang. Don’t be surprised that we old folks were surprised when we saw you. We only heard from Xinyi yesterday that she has a boyfriend. We thought you two had just started dating, so we didn’t ask further. We also didn’t know you were coming over today, so if there’s any lack of hospitality, please forgive us."

"Auntie, it’s actually my mistake. I didn’t tell Xinyi and decided on my own to come meet you," Xiao Xuyang said apologetically to Father Lu and Mother Lu. "I like Xinyi and am pursuing her. But due to my family background, she has always been particularly resistant to me. I kind of know about Xinyi’s situation and understand her concerns. My family members are not like that. Yesterday, I took Xinyi to meet my great-grandfather and my parents, and my sister is even a classmate of Xinyi."

"Your family background?" Mother Lu said and glanced at Father Lu before continuing to ask, "Who are your parents?"

"My father is Xiao Muli and my mother is Situ Xin." Actually, Xiao Xuyang didn’t know how to explain what his parents did. He thought for a moment and still decided to reveal his parents’ names.

It was uncertain whether Xinyi’s parents would recognize them.

"Xiao Muli?"

"Situ Xin?"

Father Lu and Mother Lu almost thought they misheard.

Xiao Xuyang didn’t know whether the reaction of Xinyi’s parents was good or bad, but he simply nodded. "Yes, they are my parents."

"So, that’s your background," Mother Lu said.

The expression on Father Lu and Mother Lu’s faces didn’t look too good. They had not anticipated that this impressive young man was actually the son of Xiao Muli and Situ Xin.

"You know my parents?" Seeing the changed expression on the faces of Father Lu and Mother Lu, Xiao Xuyang couldn’t help guessing, hoping there was no previous discord between his parents and Xinyi’s parents. If that were the case, it would be really difficult for him and Xinyi to be together.

"We knew your parents, but your parents wouldn’t know us. With their status, how would they know us?"

Hearing this, Xiao Xuyang breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that there weren’t any past grudges.

"To put it exactly, we were schoolmates with your parents. However, your parents were celebrities in school, everyone knew who Xiao Muli and Situ Xin were, while we were just ordinary students," Father Lu and Mother Lu reluctantly recalled their time in school.

"So, it’s such a coincidence."

"It really is a coincidence. By the way, since your parents have met our Xinyi, they probably wouldn’t agree for their son to choose a girl from an ordinary family," Mother Lu said.

Xiao Xuyang being the son of Xiao Muli and Situ Xin implied an undeniable status. With both the Xiao Family and Situ Family being prominent, it was expected that he would seek someone of wealth or nobility.

"Auntie, my parents have met Xinyi and they are aware of her background. However, you’re wrong. My parents really like Xinyi and are very happy to have her as a daughter-in-law. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have suggested that our families meet together soon. In my parents’ view, status doesn’t matter. What they value more are character and affection."
