54 Chapter 54 (1/2)

The Saturday morning that Su Le wished would never come eventually arrived.

She looked at all the different tops, dress, and skirts lying on her bed, but Su Le felt that none of them was appropriate. Even though she didn't want to admit it, the truth was that Su Le felt nervous.

After this and that, she had decided on a light colored, long dress. The style was simple but it gave off a feeling of a virtuous woman. An 80-year-old elder would probably prefer a refined lady, right?

Just as she had finished getting ready, she got a call from Wei Chu. Su Le carried both big and small bags holding gift downstairs. She blushed when she saw the other party's mischievous face, ”What are you looking at?”

”I'm looking at a beautiful lady,” Wei Chu opened the car door for her and put all the bags Su Le was carrying at the back. He smiled brightly, ”It's an honor to help such a beauty.” He was relieved on the inside as he realized that Su Le treated this visit importantly. Wei Chu was not afraid that Su Le would be nervous about the visit; he was more afraid of Su Le not caring about how his elders viewed her.

”Have you had your breakfast?” Wei Chu asked.

”I'm not hungry,” Su Le felt so nervous that it seemed as if her stomach was knotting together. How could she possibly feel hungry?

”You don't need to worry. Both of my parents like you a lot and they wanted to invite you for a meal ages ago. My grandfather is a benevolent person. He's very easy to get along with.” While he spoke, Wei Chu reached over to put the seatbelt on for Su Le, ”Let's go and have breakfast first and before setting off.”

”Who's worrying about it? Don't think that you know everything,” Su Le harrumphed. After listening to Wei Chu, Su Le became less nervous but she did feel slightly hungry. When they arrived at a breakfast store, she forcibly ate something. Even though her nervousness hadn't disappeared, her stomach no longer felt like it was knotted up.

On the way, Su Le purposely pretended to be relaxed. Wei Chu was delighted when he saw this, so while he was driving, he told her all sorts of stories to try and amuse Su Le and make her laugh. Su Le responded indifferently and suddenly remembered that she wasn't this nervous when she had met Zhuang Wei's parents, but it was possible that she was too young then to understand the importance of meeting the parents. She also didn't know that the man who said he loved her would suddenly have a change of heart.

At that time, Zhuang Wei really did treat her well. He was also very considerate and made many promises, but now, they were just like strangers. Even when they met, there was nothing for them to say to each other. Would she and Wei Chu reach this stage as well in the future?

”What are you thinking about? We have almost arrived,” Wei Chu's cheerful voice traveled to her ears. Su Le turned and saw the happiness and expectation in his eyes. Her heart warmed and her nervousness dwindled. When she looked up, she saw the car turn into another street before parking next to a large tree that was outside the courtyard house. Su Le noticed that there were already a few cars parked nearby and they were all of the expensive brands.

”Luckily we have arrived early today. Last year, I came a little late and there were no spaces left to park in,” Wei Chu felt glad that he managed to get a good parking space. After he opened the car door for Su Le when he got out, he turned back to get the gifts that Su Le had brought for his elders.

He hadn't noticed it earlier but Su Le had brought quite a lot and all the gifts were all beneficial to the elderly's health. Wei Chu's smile became brighter and he led Su Le the way with one hand holding hers. ”Let's go in.”

Once they entered the main courtyard, they already saw a few children running around and playing together. There were also many men and women who were dressed tastefully seated under the trees drinking tea or playing mahjong. Wei Chu's mother was one of them. The entire courtyard looked very lively. A few women wearing aprons rushed out of the house with bowls and trays.

”Xiao Chu has arrived?” A rather plump woman who looked about 60 nudged Mother Wei, who was next to her, when she saw Wei Chu. ”2nd little sister, your family's Wei Chu has returned?”

Soon, Su Le who was stood next to Wei Chu was noticed and everyone's gazes fell on them. Su Le suddenly felt that the pressure weighing on her had increased tremendously.

”Ai, Su Le has also come?” When Mother Wei saw them both, she did not greet Wei Chu. Instead, she quickly walked up to them and nudged Wei Chu to one side and beamed at Su Le while asking in a friendly tone, ”You seem thinner since the last time I saw you a few months ago. Is Xiao Chu not looking after you properly? Since you have arrived so early, have you eaten breakfast yet? Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?”

”Auntie, I'm alright. Wei Chu has looked after me very well during the journey,” Su Le was so shocked by Mother Wei's friendliness that she choked. She quickly looked down to hide her embarrassment.

”Mother, you have forgotten that your son is over here too,” Wei Chu rescued her when he saw Su Le in this predicament, but his mother did not seem like she wanted to play along. She rolled her eyes at Wei Chu, ”You can go wherever you like.”

So, Wei Chu smiled foolishly as he stood to one side carrying many bags, watching his mother ask about his girlfriend's wellbeing passionately. It was like Su Le was her own daughter.

”Is this Xiao Chu's girlfriend?” The wife of Wei Chu's eldest uncle came by. She stared at Su Le for a while before she said, ”You're a beautiful girl but you look rather familiar.”

Mother Wei laughed, ”Have you forgotten? Xiao Le was also at Xiao Yao's wedding reception.
