Around 10 a. m., sunlight streamed in through the window.

The two gold ornaments in front of Qian Guixiang glittered, reflected in her pupils and in her heart.

Women her age simply have no resistance to these two things.

After so many years of marriage, she had always longed to have a set of gold jewelry of her own.

Now that it's right in front of me, the excitement and exhilaration I feel are indescribable.

She looked up at Tang Song across from her and said with some difficulty, "Tang Song, this... this gift is too precious, I'm embarrassed to accept it."

My daughter finally found such an excellent boyfriend, but she's still worried about leaving a bad impression on him.

After all, it was her first time visiting, and she was a little uneasy about such a big fuss.

Tang Song smiled gently and said, "Auntie, please don't say that. The gift is just a small token of my respect, and I hope you like it. You and Uncle have raised Ruan Ruan to be so outstanding; in my heart, nothing is more precious than this."

As he spoke, he gently embraced Wen Ruan.

Wen Jianxin and Qian Guixiang were both touched by Tang Song's sincere words.

In their hearts, their daughter is indeed very outstanding.

She was sensible from a young age and never caused them any worry about her studies, life, or work.

It has always been a source of pride for the elderly couple.

"Oh dear... well... thank you for your kindness, Tang Song. When you have time, come visit here more often, and Auntie will cook you something delicious."

"Okay, then I won't stand on ceremony with you, Auntie."

"We're all family, so please don't stand on ceremony."

"Auntie, try it on and see if you're satisfied with the effect."

Qian Guixiang carefully held the two gold jewelry gift boxes, her expression a mixture of excitement and trepidation.

Although Wen Ruan is about to become a senior executive with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands, that has not yet been finalized.

Now that neither Wen Jianxin nor she has a job, their family is still in a state of financial strain.

Faced with such a grand scale from the Tang Song, I was instantly stunned, feeling as if I were in a dream.

Looking at his mother's expression, he smiled Wen Ruan and said, "Mom, let me help you put on the necklace."

After saying that, she walked forward, took out a necklace from the jewelry box, and unlocked the clasp.

It's a substantial piece of 24K gold, adorned with a beautiful floral pendant.

Given the precedent of Tang Song dynasties gifting her LV Bag and Rolex, she wasn't surprised by this.

I just felt a bit sentimental.

The family has always been struggling financially, and the resettlement housing project has been left unfinished.

Her parents were used to hardship, so she could understand her mother's feelings at that moment.

Looking at the bright yellow stain that appeared on Qian Guimei's neck.

Aunt Qian Guimei subconsciously pinched the plain necklace around her neck and said enviously, "Guixiang, your son-in-law is really good. This necklace, including the pendant, must weigh more than 40 grams."

Her family is well-off; they own four hot pot restaurants, which, although small in size, still amount to several million yuan in assets.

But if you really ask her to spend that much money on gold jewelry, she still can't bear to.

Upon hearing her sister's words, Qian Guixiang's face instantly lit up with a smile.

Lv Feifei nudged her mother with her shoulder and joked, "Mom, are you trying to trick me? Okay, I'll talk to Lao Qu later and get one for you too."

She and her husband Qu Guanjie, both work in finance in Magic City, and their combined annual income exceeds one million yuan.

However, because of the mortgage, I don't usually spend money extravagantly.

Qian Guimei quickly said, "Oh, I was just saying, don't tell Guanjie."

Lv Feifei exchanged a few jokes with her mother, then looked in surprise at Tang Song.

From the moment he entered the room, she had been observing his every move.

Her demeanor was elegant and graceful, and every movement was just right, neither too restrained nor too casual.

Whether in speech, demeanor, or appearance, she has surpassed most people she knows.

He is an absolute young talent. If his financial situation is as exaggerated as his aunt said, then he is indeed much better off than Gu Cheng, whom she introduced.

"Oh my, with that necklace and bracelet on, you really look so wealthy," Qian Guimei said with a smile as she stepped forward.

Qian Guixiang looked at herself in the mirror, an elegant and flowing gold necklace encircling her neck, and gently rotated her wrist.

The necklace and bracelets shimmered in the light, highlighting her jewel-like appearance and wealthy demeanor.

In that instant, the smile on Qian Guixiang's lips was harder to suppress than AK's.

If there weren't so many people at home, she probably would have burst out laughing.

In her 50-plus years of life, she had never received a gift in all her life combined that could compare to this one.

With such a set of jewelry, when I go out to visit relatives and friends, everyone will look at me with admiration.

"Thank you, Tang Song. Auntie loves this gift so much. It's so thoughtful of you." Qian Guixiang stopped being hypocritical and polite at this point.

Tang Song smiled and then opened another gift bag.

She took out a whole set of skincare products. "Auntie, this was recommended by a friend. It includes serum, toner, lotion, face cream, and cleanser. Please remember to use it. I'll give you some more when you run out."

Qian Guixiang quickly reached out and took it, her eyelids twitching wildly, and exclaimed, "Helena Rubinstein?"

"Well, since I didn't know your specific skin type, I bought a more general-purpose set that can help with anti-aging and keep your skin firm."

"This child is so thoughtful!" Qian Guixiang's face flushed again as she looked at Qian Guimei beside her and said with a smile, "Now I don't have to envy you anymore."

She knew about this brand because Lv Feifei and her husband gave her a set as a birthday gift when her sister, Qian Guimei, celebrated her birthday this year.

It was supposed to cost over ten thousand yuan, so I asked a friend to buy it from overseas.

She was incredibly envious at the time, and for days she dreamed of having one herself.

Moreover, the set that Tang Song brought out was more extensive and had larger packaging, clearly more than what Qian Guimei had received at the time.

In other words, this is a skincare product worth at least 20,000 yuan.

If she doesn't post a few videos on Douyin and Moments, she'll feel like she's letting Tang Song down.

Qian Guimei smacked her lips, her gaze towards Qian Guixiang filled with envy.

"Auntie, look, my mom's practically turning into a lemon! You'd better put it away." Looking at Wen Ruan's happy Wen Ruan, Lv Feifei couldn't help but sigh, thinking how lucky her cousin was.

Qian Guixiang exclaimed "Hey!" and happily put the things away.

Seeing her hesitate about whether to take off the bracelet, Qian Guimei smiled and said, "Listen to me, wear this when you go to Mingfeng's house today, and let Feng E see what it's like."

She knew Qian Guixiang's thoughts and often received sarcastic remarks from her sister-in-law, Wang Feng'e.

I'm going to visit my nephew this time, and with this outfit, I feel much more confident.

After all, they are sisters, so how could they not hope that the other is doing well?

However, she also has her own family and needs to consider her husband's feelings, so she rarely takes care of her sister's family.

Seeing that Wen Ruan has found such an excellent boyfriend, I feel mostly happy.

"Then... we won't pick them?" Qian Guixiang looked at her daughter.

Wen Ruan raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Alright, Mom, the things are yours now. Wear them if you want."

"Alright, alright, then wear it!" Qian Guixiang, carrying a large bag of Helena Rubinstein and wearing a gold necklace and bracelet, was beaming.

This son-in-law is truly impeccable!

Not only is she outstanding in appearance and has a grand presence, but the gifts she gives are also perfectly in line with my wishes in every aspect.

Wen Jianxin, who was standing next to him, subconsciously looked at the remaining tea leaves and watch on the table, and his heart couldn't help but race.

I didn't take it too seriously before, but now that I see this, the gift that Tang Song sent is really "high-value".

As a Wen Ruan and kind old father, I know these teas and watches must be expensive.

"Uncle, this is tea for you. Ruan Ruan said your blood pressure is a bit high. You can drink some of this green tea regularly, as it helps lower blood lipids and cholesterol, and it can also dilate blood vessels and lower blood pressure."

Wen Jianxin's eyes lit up, and he quickly responded with a smile.

The tea is packaged in an exquisite classic wooden box, with the words "Ming Qian Longjing" written in gold foil.

In the middle is a A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains, which looks grand, luxurious, noble and elegant.

They didn't know anything about tea or its price, but just by looking at the packaging, they knew it was definitely more expensive than they had imagined.

Tang Song then took out an exquisite black gift box from another gift bag. "This is a wristwatch. I don't know if you like this style."

"I like it, I like it." Wen Jianxin rubbed his hands on the clothes and accepted them somewhat awkwardly.

Wen Ruan smiled softly, "Dad, let me help you try it on."

She knows her father too well; he's an introverted person who isn't good at expressing himself.

"Okay, okay."

Opening the black watch box reveals a cream-colored lining inside.

In the center, a dignified and luxurious wristwatch sits still.

The watch case has smooth lines and is extremely finely polished, exuding a cool metallic luster.

The silver-gray dial has a slightly metallic, matte finish, giving it a layered look.

The black alligator leather strap has a fine texture and is both soft and durable.

The strap and case blend seamlessly, exuding both retro elegance and a modern feel.

Wen Jianxin, his eyes wide with amazement.

Although he has worn many watches, the difference between them and this one is immediately apparent.

"Is this the IWC Portuguese Series? It suits my dad perfectly, you really thought of him." Wen Ruan smiled at Tang Song, took out the watch, and put it on her father's left wrist.

She had seen this watch before; the dial had Arabic numerals that were clear and elegant, and it was comfortable to wear.

It has no complicated functions or fancy design; it's solid and reliable.

It would be perfect for her father to wear.

The gifts Tang Song gave showed that he truly cared for his parents and treated them with utmost sincerity, without the slightest perfunctoriness.

Looking at the watch on her husband's wrist, Qian Guixiang's eyes Jing Jing as she said, "This watch must be expensive, right?"

Lv Feifei, standing next to her, blinked and said with a sigh, "Of course, the retail price is around 60,000 yuan. A friend of mine wears this watch. It has a sapphire crystal, a stainless steel case, an alligator strap, and is water-resistant to 30 meters."

"So expensive!" Qian Guixiang's eyes widened instantly, her face full of disbelief.

It was priced the same as her two gold ornaments!

The key point is that this isn't gold jewelry that can be easily converted into cash, but a watch.

Upon hearing the price, Wen Jianxin's hand trembled and his face flushed red.

A watch worth 60,000 yuan!?

That's more than his annual salary!

Overwhelmed with emotion, I didn't know what to say, so I just looked down at the gleaming watch on my wrist.

Qian Guimei looked at her sister and brother-in-law, and then at the gifts they had received, and couldn't help but feel a little sour.

All these things must cost at least tens of thousands of yuan.

Wen Ruan's boyfriend is so generous, and more importantly, he's a great person!

His appearance and character are impeccable.

Having such a good son-in-law is something to be happy about.

The living room was quiet for a moment, then became incredibly lively.

Looking at Tang Song, who was handsome, composed, and imposing, he was impressed by his appearance.

Qian Guixiang's smile stretched from ear to ear as she kept urging him to eat and drink, speaking to him with even more affection than she would to her beloved daughter.

She is now incredibly grateful that none of Ruan Ruan's previous blind dates went through.

I almost missed out on such a great son-in-law!

Feeling the Wen Ruan attitude of her parents, Tang Song's heart gradually calmed down.

He was indeed quite nervous before coming, after all, the older sister was going to be his mistress, and he couldn't guarantee anything about marriage in the future.

It's inevitable that we feel indebted to other people's parents.

So I prepared some extra gifts.

Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

The villa and trust in the afternoon are the real killer moves.

It was almost 11 o'clock.

Before leaving, Qian Guixiang held her daughter's hand and instructed her, "Ruan Ruan, let me tell you this: don't neglect Tang Song because of work. If I, your son-in-law, run away, you can forget about ever coming back into this house."

"Oh my god, Mom! You really are..." Wen Ruan rolled her eyes speechlessly.

"You can develop your career, but good men are hard to find. You might only get one chance in your life, so you should keep that in mind."

"Okay, okay, I understand, don't worry." Anyway, she's definitely going to be inseparable from Tang Song for the rest of her life, so it all depends on her parents' attitude in the future.

You can have children, you can have a career, you can have a man, but marriage is another story.

However, it will take several more years to gradually change the parents' views.

The two whispered a few words to each other and walked out of the room.

The group set off for Shengyuan Jiajing.

Wen Jianxin, dressed in a dark polo shirt and wearing a brand-new IWC watch, looked radiant.

Qian Guixiang walked briskly, and with her gold necklace and bracelet, she looked energetic and radiant.

Stepping out of the building, a wave of intense heat hit me.

On the right side of the road by the gate, a silver Mercedes-Benz S450L was parked there, elegant and imposing, with a deep roar from its engine.

Tang Song released Wen Ruan's hand, quickly walked to the car, opened the back door, and said, "Uncle, Auntie, you sit in the back, Ruan Ruan and I will sit in the front. I've already started the car, it's too hot outside."

Standing beside the car, Tang Song had a tall and straight posture, with a straight nose, thin lips, broad shoulders, and a narrow waist.

Her every move exudes an elegant yet clean and efficient demeanor.

The midday sun cast a soft yet dazzling glow upon him.

That's incredibly extravagant.

Qian Guixiang was taken aback for a moment, then quickly responded.

She pulled her husband, Wen Jianxin, into the spacious and comfortable back seat of the car, where the exquisite and luxurious interior immediately caught her eye.

He touched the interior of the room and sighed inwardly.

Qian Guixiang suddenly remembered something and said to her sister Qian Guimei outside, "Your car is parked at the East Gate, right? Let's meet at the gate."

Oasis View Residential Complex separates pedestrians and vehicles; vehicles are generally not allowed to enter.

Unless there's a specific reason, such as picking up an elderly person or delivering something.

"Okay," Qian Guimei replied.

Tang Song and Wen Ruan waved to the two of them and got into the car.

With the roar of the engine, the Mercedes-Benz S450L slowly drove away.
