Luo Tianqin carefully examined the fine wine brewed by the royal family in his hand; at this moment, he was also extremely tempted.
"This kid's background is quite something, considering he can even bring out royal family wine."
On the other hand, after careful observation, Luo Yan's mother became increasingly satisfied with Cao Yu.
Not only is he not dull, but his features are also extremely regular, making him quite a good match for his daughter Luo Yan.
Luo Yan didn't seem shy in front of the two elders; on the contrary, the feeling of being back home made her quite lively.
"Mom and Dad, his name is Cao Yu. He's attending my sister's wedding, and I brought Brother Yu back so you can meet him."
At this moment, Meng Xi, the mother-in-law, laughed and slowly said, "Good, good, good."
" Xiao Yan, you're not getting any younger, you really should find a boyfriend."
Luo Tianqin stood aside without saying a word. He had already heard Cao Yu's name and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"The Cao family? They can even produce royal wine. Could they be the Cao Clan from Star Luo City?"
If it really is the Cao Clan, then that's a serious matter.
After all, this was a powerful figure, and back then, all the forces in the Star Luo Empire were vying to get on good terms with the Cao Clan.
Although Luo Tianqin wanted to improve relations with the Cao Clan, the Luo Clan's size was simply no match for those powerful forces.
So at the time, he didn't have the confidence to curry favor with someone powerful.
Meng Xi turned her gaze to Cao Yu, her smile growing even wider. "From now on, I'll call you Little Yu."
"Come on, don't stand here, come inside and have some tea."
Meng Xi led the two inside with a kind expression, then turned to the old butler and instructed, " Uncle Li, could you please have some people bring up some fruit and snacks so the two children can have a treat?"
"Alright, Madam, I'll be right there." Butler Li smiled, then turned and walked out of the hall.
After everyone was seated, Luo Tianqin finally spoke and asked, " Little Yu, you wouldn't happen to be the young master of the Cao Clan in Star Luo City, would you?"
Cao Yu nodded and said without hiding anything, "Yes, my father is the current head of the Cao Clan family."
Luo Tianqin's eyes lit up instantly; his precious daughter, Luo Yan, had truly brought him an unexpected surprise.
The Cao Clan is a real powerhouse!
Upon hearing this, Luo Tianqin had already mentally agreed to the marriage.
Meng Xi, standing to the side, didn't react much when she heard about the Cao Clan. Actually, for her, whether her son-in-law was rich or not wasn't that important.
As long as she's good to her daughters, that's all that matters. For example, her eldest daughter, Luo Chuyou, has taken a liking to a newly appointed researcher at the institute.
Merchant families traditionally value marriage between people of equal social standing, but she doesn't follow that rule.
At first, Luo Tianqin didn't agree to his eldest daughter's marriage, but in the end, it was Meng Xi who helped to bring it together.
While the two were talking, Butler Li led a group of people in carrying fruit and snacks.
By noon, the Luo Clan family had already prepared a delicious feast, with so many dishes that the round table was almost overflowing.
Only then did Cao Yu see Luo Yan's older sister, who looked rather gentle and refined, with a completely different temperament from Luo Yan.
She's getting married in two days, so she's been making preparations during this time.
They nodded to each other and greeted each other, thus becoming acquainted.
Luo Tianqin poured out several cups of the fine wine that Cao Yu had brought, and then insisted on drinking with Cao Yu.
"Come on, Little Yu, thanks to you today, I never imagined I'd be able to taste royal wine in the latter half of my life. This life has been worthwhile!"
Cao Yu laughed loudly, "Haha, father-in-law, as long as I'm here, you can drink as much of this fine wine as you want in the future, absolutely enough!"
"Great! With that attitude, I've decided you're my son-in-law!"
Luo Tianqin was also extremely happy. He was increasingly satisfied with Cao Yu, not much less so than with Meng Xi.
After a few rounds of drinks, the two men started talking more and more.
They talked about everything from the sky to the ground, from creatures that swim in the water to animals that run on the land, and they covered everything from delicious food to beautiful scenery.
This made the two sisters, Meng Xi, Luo Yan, and Luo Chuyou, who were eating nearby, burst into laughter.
At this moment, Meng Xi, as the lady of the house, smiled and advised, "Alright, you two men shouldn't drink so much. Be careful not to ruin your health."
Just as Luo Tianqin was about to retort, Meng Xi glared at him fiercely.
This prompted him to quickly correct himself, saying, "Yes, yes, your mother-in-law is right. It's not good to ruin your health by drinking too much. Young people shouldn't drink so much; they should eat more."
After spending the whole day together, Cao Yu became increasingly familiar with his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Seeing how well they got along, Luo Yan felt relieved.
When it was time to rest that night, Luo Yan said with a little blush, "There are no spare rooms at home, so why don't you sleep in the same room with me, Brother Yu?"
Looking into those eyes, which were filled with anticipation, Cao Yu had a mental battle going on for three hundred rounds before finally nodding in agreement.
It actually took less than a second.
Holding hands, they entered Luo Yan's boudoir. In fact, the room had been cleaned up a few days ago, so there was no visible dust.
The room was well-ventilated and filled with a fresh scent; clearly, the entire room had been perfumed.
At this moment, Luo Tianqin and Meng Xi were still talking in the hall. Watching Cao Yu and Luo Yan go to rest hand in hand, they couldn't help but smile.
"Old man, the two of them are sleeping together tonight, doesn't that mean they've been together for a while..."
"Hmm, very likely! But isn't that a good thing?" Luo Tianqin was actually even happier, perhaps his youngest daughter would allow him to hold his grandson sooner.
Meng Xi didn't intend to dwell on those things anymore, and could only nod and say, "That's true, I'm actually quite satisfied with Little Yu as my son-in-law, let's just let the young people be."
"Once you raise a daughter, she's like water spilled on the ground; you can't take her back. You can't take care of her forever." Luo Tianqin took a sip of tea and then sighed slowly.
"Let's go and rest too. It's cold at night, don't catch a cold. Our eldest daughter is getting married in a few days."
"Hmm, it's really hard to part with her." Thinking of this, Meng Xi couldn't help but tear up, and Luo Tianqin reached out his rough hand to wipe away the tears streaming down her face.
He gently comforted her, "Alright, stop crying. You're a grown woman now, don't act like a child."
Over the next few days, Luo Tianqin also took Cao Yu to visit the businesses he ran.
Luo Tianqin runs a small auction house, which also sells goods with clearly marked prices, all of which are at least around 100,000.
Most of the time, Cao Yu accompanied Luo Yan on sightseeing trips, exploring almost the entire Red Maple City.
