Chapter 824 - 824: Blind Date (8)

Translator: Lordbluefire

Chu Qianshu was also feeling nervous on her end.

She had already informed her parents about Zeng Keyi’s existence, but because they hadn’t learned about Zeng Keyi’s family background before, no one knew that Zeng Keyi was the person she had been set up with for the blind date.

Now, as she was about to visit the Zeng Family, Chu Qianshu’s parents were also in a dilemma,

“What gift should we bring? This is the first time, and if we bring something too valuable, it might seem like showing off. But if we bring something not so good, it might not seem appropriate…”

Father Chu wasn’t as concerned as Mother Chu, “Bring something good. It’s to ensure that our daughter won’t be looked down upon in the future. Bringing something nice will also let them know about our family’s strength. Our daughter won’t be suffering by marrying into their family! Besides, we only have one daughter. It’s not like she’s leaving our family completely… By the way, Qianshu, have you thought about this? Maybe when you have two children in the future, one of them can have the Chu surname?”

Chu Qianshu blushed, “Dad, why are we talking about having children already!”

Although she was a quirky scientist, when it came to discussing marriage, Chu Qianshu blushed like a teenage girl.

Mother Chu, who was nearby, wasn’t pleased, “What’s the difference in the surname? Either way, they’ll be our grandchildren. They’ll inherit our family’s assets. It’s a new era!”

Mother Chu was also concerned about another aspect, “However, I think this time when you visit, you should bring up the idea of living together as a couple after marriage, rather than with their parents.”

“You two are building a new family, and living with your in-laws often brings complications. Moreover, we’re not just marrying off our daughter; she’s not completely detached from our family. If this were in the old society, your situation might attract criticism. But times have changed, so 1 won’t delve into that matter. In the future, it won’t matter what the children’s surnames are. What’s important is that the two of you have a happy life.”

Chu Qianshu nodded.

She had never compromised her own thoughts.

So, after marriage, she was definitely going to live separately from Zeng’s parents.

If Zeng Keyi couldn’t bear to leave his parents, she would be fine with bringing her parents to live with them. Both sides were only children, and their family wasn’t lacking in money. There were mansions everywhere, so living together wouldn’t be an issue!

With these thoughts in mind, Chu Qianshu had the servants load the gifts into the car and set off.

“They’re here!”

The Zeng residence.

Upon hearing the butler’s words, Father Zeng and mother immediately stepped out of the house.

Zeng Keyi had been waiting outside the door for a while. Chu Qianshu didn’t want him to go inside to greet the guests, so he stood by the entrance. When he spotted the car, he had the butler go and inform Zeng’s parents, fearing they might arrive late and inconvenience Chu Qianshu.

Father Zeng and mother arrived at the parking area and saw a Maybach slowly approaching.

The car exuded an air of nobility, giving off a strong presence.

Both of them were momentarily surprised.

Mother Zeng couldn’t help but ask, “Wasn’t Qianshu’s family of average means? Even an average family can afford a Maybach nowadays?”

She felt that she had been out of touch with ordinary families for too long and had lost her sense of understanding.

Father Zeng, however, responded, “It’s definitely a car rented by our son for her. It’s about making a statement. She’ll have face, and our family will have face… But this move is smart. She gains prestige, and our family gains prestige…”

Mother Zeng didn’t quite share that perspective.

After all, their son had mentioned that Qianshu didn’t want him to greet them…

Mother Zeng began to feel that something might be off…

Then, they saw the car come to a halt, and the driver immediately stepped out of the car and walked to the back seat, opening the door, and said, “Miss, please disembark.”

“Miss”…

That was clearly a term reserved for wealthy families.

Who rents a car and still gets addressed as “Miss”?

Mother Zeng and father exchanged glances again.

Afterward, they saw a quiet young girl step out of the car.

She was wearing a knee-length black dress with polka dots, which highlighted her youthfulness. She looked very elegant and refined, carrying an air of scholarly sophistication…

Mother Zeng furrowed her brows.

This didn’t seem like something a regular family could cultivate in their child!

As she was pondering this, Zeng Keyi walked over and took Chu Qianshu’s hand, leading her in front of his parents, “Mom, Dad, let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Chu Qianshu.”

After saying that, he turned to Chu Qianshu with a silly smile, “These are my parents…”

His smile was foolish and vacant.

He completely failed to notice the frozen expressions on his parents’ faces after hearing the name Chu Qianshu.

Chu Qianshu took a step forward and gave a slight smile, “Uncle, Auntie, nice to meet you.”

Father Zeng, “You… You too.”

Mother Zeng, “Let’s go inside quickly.”

Zeng Keyi then held Chu Qianshu’s hand and walked toward the house.

The two older people remained behind. Father Zeng stared at their retreating figures and swallowed a gulp of saliva, “Did 1 hear it wrong just now? Did the girl say her surname is Chu?”

Mother Zeng lowered her voice, “Yes, that Chu?”
