Chapter 468: Meeting Guan Xiaoguan's Parents
After the two recounted what had happened, Grandpa Guan looked at Guan Xiaoguan and said, "You, you, always act so impulsively."
Grandpa Guan then looked at Zhang Lei and said, "Zhang Lei, come here."
Zhang Lei slowly walked over, and Grandpa Guan's cane hit him. This time he didn't dodge, but smiled and said, "Grandpa, don't be angry. It's okay to hit me. Getting angry will only harm your health."
Grandpa Guan looked at Zhang Lei and said angrily, "When I first met you, I thought you were a decent young man. Who would have thought that you would kidnap my granddaughter on our first meeting? You've really got some nerve."
Zhang Lei said with a smile, "There's no way around it, Xiao Guan and I fell in love at first sight. Don't worry, Grandpa, I will treat Xiao Guan well and will definitely not let her suffer."
Guan Xiaoguan quickly tried to comfort him, saying, "Grandpa, don't be angry. Besides, it won't change the fact that we got our marriage certificate."
Grandpa Guan looked at his disappointing granddaughter and said, "You, you, isn't it just because your parents forced you to go back to America and want what I have? Is it really necessary for you to do this?"
Guan Xiaoguan smiled and said, "Grandpa, isn't it great now? I married Zhang Lei, so I don't have to go to America, and I don't have to worry about you losing anything. Anyway, I had to get married sooner or later, so rather than listening to my parents' arrangements, I might as well choose for myself."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Guan sighed and said, "Never mind, I can't interfere in your affairs anymore."
Then he looked at Zhang Lei and said, "You brat, you just wait and see. If you ever dare to treat my granddaughter badly, I'll haunt you even as a ghost."
Zhang Lei quickly reassured Grandpa Guan again.
The three of them soon sat down together. Grandpa Guan couldn't stand Zhang Lei, but seeing his granddaughter and his appearance, he could only sigh helplessly. The most difficult part wasn't his side, but whether Guan Xiaoguan's parents would agree.
Guan Xiaoguan said angrily, "Grandpa, don't worry about them. Anyway, Zhang Lei and I have already done it."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei nearly spat out the tea in his mouth. Guan Xiaoguan also felt that her words were inappropriate, but since she had already said them, she boldly grabbed Zhang Lei's hand and said, "Anyway, I've chosen him for life."
Grandpa Guan looked at the two of them helplessly: "Fine, do whatever you want."
After the two left, they rode their bicycles to Guan Xiaoguan's parents' residence.
Zhang Lei looked at Guan Xiaoguan and said with a smile, "Your parents live so far away, did they have a fight with your grandfather?"
Guan Xiaoguan nodded and said, "It's mainly because my mom thinks my grandpa is old-fashioned and doesn't know how to make use of what he has. She says he's unwilling to give money to his wife and me while my grandpa is working hard outside. But I know that back then, my grandpa sold a lot of good things to raise money for them to go to America to work. Otherwise, how could they have made such a name for themselves in America?"
Zhang Lei nodded and said with a smile, "When we meet your parents later, we'll talk about it first, and then I'll talk to them."
Guan Xiaoguan looked at Zhang Lei with concern and said, "Why don't I go with you? Anyway, no matter what they say, as long as I agree, there's no need to ask for their opinion."
Zhang Lei looked at Guan Xiaoguan and said with a smile, "I know what you mean, but we can't do this. After all, they are your parents. Even if they have many faults, they shouldn't have mistreated you, otherwise they wouldn't have raised you so well."
Guan Xiaoguan lowered her head after hearing this. Indeed, her parents had never skimped on her finances or food from childhood to adulthood. After thinking it through, she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Soon the two arrived at Guan Xiaoguan's parents' residence.
Guan Xiaoguan looked at the box in Zhang Lei's hand with suspicion and said, "Zhang Lei, what exactly is in this box you took after leaving my grandfather's house? It's so mysterious and you won't let me see it."
Zhang Lei said with a smile, "She's a good girl. Your parents will definitely be happy to marry you to me when they see you."
Guan Xiaoguan laughed and said, "You're just bragging."
When the two met Guan's parents, they told them about their situation. The parents looked at Zhang Lei, who had suddenly appeared, with obvious displeasure.
Guan's mother pulled Guan Xiaoguan aside and said, "Xiaoguan, are you crazy? You made such a big decision without discussing it with your family."
Guan Xiaoguan looked at her mother and said, "Mom, it's no use saying anything now. I'm already his woman, and we've already got our marriage certificate."
Enraged, Guan's mother slapped her and said, "You can get a divorce even if you're married. Now, you two go and get a divorce."
Zhang Lei angrily pulled Guan Xiaoguan to his side and said, "Uncle and Aunt, since Xiaoguan has married me, there's no way I can divorce her."
Mr. Guan looked at the two men and said, "Our daughter is young and naive. She was fooled by your sweet talk. Do you think we're three-year-olds? I wonder if you're after our family's wealth and trying to climb the social ladder."
Zhang Lei almost laughed when he heard this, and said to Guan Xiaoguan, "Xiaoguan, go out for a bit, your parents and I have something to discuss."
Guan Xiaoguan looked at Zhang Lei suspiciously and said, "You're not going to hit them, are you?"
Zhang Lei was almost startled by these words and quickly reassured them, "I'm just having a nice chat with them. Don't worry, I have a plan. Wait outside for a while."
Guan Xiaoguan walked out of the room, closed the door, and couldn't help but eavesdrop outside.
The room was first filled with questions from Guan's parents, then shock, and finally laughter.
Soon, Zhang Lei opened the door and saw Guan Xiaoguan eavesdropping at the door. Guan Xiaoguan awkwardly stuck out her tongue.
Zhang Lei held her hand and said with a smile, "Your aunt and uncle are very open-minded; they've decided not to interfere with our relationship."
At that moment, Guan Xiaoguan saw smiles on her parents' faces.
Looking at Guan Xiaoguan, Guan's mother smiled and said, "Xiaoguan, you've really found a good son-in-law for your mother. Live a good life with Zhang Lei and listen to him."
Seeing the dramatic change in her mother, Guan Xiaoguan couldn't help but ask, "Mom, are you still half asleep?"
Guan's mother said angrily, "How dare you talk to your mother like that?"
Mr. Guan smiled and said to Zhang Lei, "Zhang Lei, come here, let me brew you some of my treasured Da Hong Pao tea. Enjoy it."
The family chatted and laughed for a while before Zhang Lei took Guan Xiaoguan away.
Guan Xiaoguan looked at Zhang Lei and said seriously, "Zhang Lei, tell me, how exactly did you convince my parents? They're so materialistic, how could you possibly persuade them so quickly?"
Zhang Lei looked at Guan Xiaoguan and said with a smile, "It's a secret."
Guan Xiaoguan clung to his arm and said coquettishly, "Just tell me, okay? We can consummate our marriage tonight, and you can do whatever you want, alright?"
Zhang Lei looked at Guan Xiaoguan and said with a smile, "Really?"
Guan Xiaoguan nodded: "Really. If you don't know how, I'll teach you."
Zhang Lei almost choked on his saliva, tapped her head and said, "What did you study in America?"
Guan Xiaoguan laughed and said, "America is a free country, but it's too free. Sex education is widespread from a young age. I only knew about it before, but I had never practiced it."
Zhang Lei said with a smile, "Alright, let's put it into practice tonight."
Then, Zhang Lei revealed that he had given Guan Xiaoguan's parents a box of gold bricks.
Guan Xiaoguan looked at Zhang Lei in disbelief and said, "Really?"
Zhang Lei nodded and said, "Of course it's true. Do you know how much I paid to marry you?"
