Chapter 1109 Welcome Gif (2/2)

when they learned that he had found both of the stones himself.

The couple exchanged their wedding rings for the new rings on the spot, saying that

these rings were more meaningful than their old ones.

In the evening, they left the hotel for the airport.

At the VIP exit, a few laughing and talking JP Morgan uniformed staff members turned

up, leading Li Du's parents were among them.

Mr. Li carried a mountaineering bag and pulled a wheeled suitcase, while Mrs. Li had

suitcases in both her hands.

Li Du's father was dressed in a suit and tie, and Li Du's mother wore a camel knit vest

with white trousers and shoes.

They were looking around. Li Du excitedly waved and said, ”My parents are looking for

us, they must miss me!”

Mrs. Martin smiled. ”Yes, it's the heart of all parents.”

Even though he waved as hard as he could, Li Du's parents did not see him. Both of

them were looking around and whispering to each other but did not see him.

Only when both parties came close did Li Du's parents see them. They walked over,

carrying their luggage and wearing a surprised expression.

Li Du went up and gave each of them a big hug. Sophie followed suit, hugging them

too.

Li Du's father's arms were rather stiff as he hugged Sophie.

Li Du was entertained upon seeing this. He smiled and said, ”Father, are you imitating a

zombie?”

Li Du's father was embarrassed and said in a low voice, ”Isn't it off-limits to hug my own

daughter in law?

”You're so old-fashioned, that's American etiquette,” Li Du's mother said mercilessly.

Mr. and Mrs. Martin shook hands with them, and Li Du translated as they greeted each.

Sophie also brought flowers and gave them to Li Du's parents. ”Welcome to America,

Mr. and Mrs. Li,” she said with a smile. ”Li and I have been missing you so much.”

”Oh, Sophie, you speak better Chinese now. Your Mandarin is so good,” said Li Du's

mother happily.

When they video called each other, Sophie spoke Mandarin, so it didn't surprise them

too much.

Li Du's father coughed and winked.

Li Du's mother quickly opened her backpack and took out a box with two jade statues.

One was a statue of Guanyin, the other a cross with an image of Jesus.

Li Du's father said, ”Sophie, we did not bring anything much for you. We only brought

the statue of the god that we prayed to in the temple for you and Li Du. An extra

blessing, extra peace of mind, yes? The two of us have no other thought than hoping

that both of you are safe.”

Li Du clapped and gave a thumbs-up. ”Dad, what a great speech!”

Li Du's father smiled shyly, while his mother mercilessly revealed, ”Your father had

been rehearsing this for the past two weeks.”

”Don't talk nonsense, it was just a few days,” her husband argued.

Sophie smiled and accepted the cross. She also took out a gift bag and gave two

parcels to both her parents. She said, ”This is a small gift I prepared. It doesn't cost

much. Hope you will like them.”

Mr. James heaved a sigh of relief and said, ”Fortunately, we have come ready. Come

on, let's get our presents.”

Mrs. Martin took the presents they had prepared for Mr. and Mrs. Li from her handbag.

Finally, with a jolt, Li Du realized that he had not prepared any presents for his parents.

However, with a presence of mind, he took Sophie's arm and brought her forth. ”This is

my present for you, your daughter-in-law.”
