Chapter 1066: Hurry Over and Serve Your In-Laws
He walked outside to the yard, took a few sips of water, then set it on the flower stand and scooped up handfuls of water to wash his face.
The waiter hurriedly offered him a towel freshly taken from the sterilizer, which he accepted and used to dry his face, then said thanks.
"Not at all, not at all," the waiter bowed his head, his demeanor mysteriously coy, "I’ll head in first then, Young Master Jin."
"Okay," Nangong Jin nodded, barely suppressing a laugh, and indeed, he let out a chuckle.
The waiter also gave a simple-minded smile and then slinked away stealthily.
Nangong Jin was in high spirits; washing his face made his head feel less heavy, though still a bit dizzy, as if floating on clouds, but that was of no great concern.
Just as he was about to step inside, his phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was a message from Li Hui.
He opened it to read, "You little brat, get your ass over here and attend to your father-in-law and mother-in-law!"
Nangong Jin blinked in confusion, a bit dumbfounded. Father-in-law and mother-in-law?
Shit, could it be Di Yan and Fang Hao?
Did they know?
His long fingers tapping a few times on the phone screen, Nangong Jin asked, "What’s going on, Mother? Don’t mess with me!"
Li Hui replied immediately, "Who’s messing with you? You’ve been shamelessly stuck to that girl all day, like a mangy dog, and they’re not blind, they can see for themselves!
Come here first, offer a couple of toasts, sweet-talk them, and show some proper respect to your future in-laws."
Nangong Jin felt even more bewildered, yet also a bit excited, hurriedly typing back, "Uncle Yan and Aunt Fang don’t mind?"
This really was beyond his expectations. By his guess, if Di Yan knew, he’d probably beat him up first and forbid him from seeing Di Jinxuan.
Otherwise, he would have said something sooner.
"For now, there doesn’t seem to be any objections, it all depends on your performance. Let me tell you, the critical figure is your mother-in-law, so you better win her over soon," Li Hui responded once more.
Suddenly, Nangong Jin felt overwhelmed, but he couldn’t stop the joy in his heart, that immense happiness, even wanting to dance with glee. What the heck was that about?
Composing himself, Nangong Jin straightened his clothes, and finally took out his phone to use the front camera, tidied his hair, and following several checks to ensure his appearance was faultless, he stepped into the hall.
The hall was still bustling with noise, a group of people dining naturally takes quite a while.
Nangong Jin looked towards the elders’ table, not many there, just his own parents, Di Jinxuan’s parents, and the Gu Family’s parents, but it was lively nonetheless.
Fang Hao was animatedly chatting with Li Hui and Qin Qian, appearing to be in quite a good mood.
Di Yan, Nangong Tiancheng, and Gu Ruhai were also engaged in a cheerful conversation.
This was the first time that Nangong Jin felt a bit nervous!
Really.
How the heck was he supposed to curry favor with Fang Hao so formally?
With no gifts in hand, wouldn’t suddenly approaching her be super awkward?
As Nangong Jin walked, he pondered how to strike up a conversation with his future mother-in-law.
Then, his gaze unintentionally caught sight of Di Jinxuan at another table.
This table was for the younger generation, a whole crew of them, with the Gu Family representing the majority, a spectacle of stunning beauties that took one’s breath away.
Next came the three siblings from the Di Family, four from the Nangong Family; Di Mingzhe and Di Xiaxia hadn’t come, probably due to some commitments.
Added to the mix were Alvin and Shi Mo.
This large table was, of course, quite lively, full of chatter and laughter.
