The Xu family had all accepted Chen Nan.
After all.
Who could resist the power of money?
Chen Nan said awkwardly, "Auntie, my parents are on a world tour. You might not believe me, but I can't even contact them."
"But don't worry, I'll bring them to visit as soon as they get back!"
Xu Xingguo said, "You and Qingxin are still young. There's no need to get married so soon. You should focus on your career before thirty. Marriage can wait."
Huang Rui didn't dwell on the topic anymore. "Alright, you two can discuss this yourselves. That's enough for now, I need to prepare dinner. Your Fourth Uncle and Aunt will be back soon!"
Chen Nan felt a pang of unease.
He already felt awkward in front of Xu Qingxin's parents and grandfather.
If Xu Qingxin's uncle and aunt also showed up.
It would be even more awkward!
At three in the afternoon.
Xu Qingxin's second uncle, Xu Xingcheng, and his family of four arrived at the Xu residence.
Xu Qingxin had a younger cousin and a younger cousin, who were not much older than Chen Nan, perhaps a year or two younger.
Perhaps sensing this future brother-in-law's financial prowess, they were quite enthusiastic towards him.
Especially Xu Xiaoning, who possessed an almost overwhelming social confidence. "Brother-in-law, we're family now. We'll be close relatives from now on. My birthday is next week, so you have to show some appreciation, right?"
"Xu Xiaoning, are you asking for a beating?" Xu Qingxin glared.
Although she doted on her brother, she was still surprised by his audacity.
"Sis, why are you so angry?" Xu Xiaoning shrunk his head and said nervously, "You can't blame me! Think about it, you and brother-in-law will get married sooner or later, and we're family, right?"
"If I don't tell him about my birthday, do you think brother-in-law will think of us as outsiders?"
"How can we maintain a relationship like this in the future?"
"What if brother-in-law holds a grudge, and when you have kids later, he shaves my nephew's head in January? Wouldn't I be losing out?"
Xu Qingxin grabbed his ear. "You're just twisting words! I'll teach you a lesson!"
Xu Xiaoning yelped in pain. "Ouch, ouch, ouch! Let go, my ear is falling off!"
As for his cries.
The Xu family chose to ignore him.
This kid, relying on being the only male grandchild in the Xu family, had become a bit too presumptuous.
Only Xu Qingxin could keep him in check.
"Brother-in-law, you need to discipline this shrew of yours, she's too brutal... sob sob sob, sis, I was wrong... please forgive me." Xu Xiaoning finally pleaded, tears welling up in his eyes from the pain.
"That's more like it!"
Xu Qingxin let go with an exasperated sigh.
Chen Nan smiled. "What do you want for your birthday?"
Xu Qingxin said, "Chen Nan, don't listen to him."
Chen Nan smiled. "If I didn't know, it would be one thing. But since I do, I must show some appreciation. It's no trouble!"
Xu Xiaoning's expression became excited, even forgetting the pain in his ear. "You should let me guess what gift you've prepared for me!"
"Then guess what I've prepared for you?" Chen Nan chuckled wryly. This guy truly had an extreme case of social butterfly syndrome... no, it was more like social cancer.
Xu Xiaoning cooperated, "A supercar?"
"Second Uncle, you don't mind if I get rough, do you?" Xu Qingxin was furious, provoked by her brother's shamelessness.
Xu Xingcheng, chatting in the kitchen, replied, "Do you need a rolling pin?"
Xu Xiaoning instantly became well-behaved, sitting up straight like a schoolboy.
His ability to change demeanor was astonishing.
Chen Nan glanced at the time. There was still some time before dinner. "I won't be in the capital next week. Let's go buy a car now!"
Xu Qingxin asked, "Are we really going?"
"Brother-in-law is the best! Mwah!" Xu Xiaoning was ecstatic.
"Just Ning and I will go. You guys chat here!" Chen Nan smiled. They had passed the car dealership on their way here, and it wasn't far.
"Xu Xiaoning, I advise you not to go too far, understood?" Xu Qingxin sternly warned him.
"Don't worry, sis. As an honest child like me, I would never go too far," Xu Xiaoning said, pulling Chen Nan away from the villa and getting into Xu Qingxin's LaFerrari.
"Tell me, what kind of car do you want?"
Chen Nan drove the LaFerrari towards the car dealership.
This question stumped Xu Xiaoning.
He had only heard that his future brother-in-law had great wealth, but he didn't know how powerful it was.
He cleared his throat and shamelessly said, "As long as it's worthy of being the brother-in-law's brother-in-law, I'm not picky."
He had to admit.
His shameless personality was rather to Chen Nan's liking.
When it came to relatives, it was best to get along comfortably.
Chen Nan asked, "Do you want the kind that makes girls say they're hot and want to take off their clothes when they get in, or the kind that's steady, majestic, low-key yet sophisticated?"
Xu Xiaoning's eyes lit up. "The latter, the latter!"
Chen Nan said, "I didn't expect you to be such a gentleman!"
Xu Xiaoning laughed. "It's just that supercars are only for driving, but most supercars have only two seats and are cramped inside, not suitable for driving!"
He then revealed a knowing look.
Chen Nan's mouth twitched. "I was wrong. You're even more shameless than I imagined."
Xu Xiaoning burst into laughter. "Brother-in-law understanding my meaning so quickly means we're kindred spirits!"
As they talked, they arrived at the car dealership.
There were far more car brands here than in Jizhou, and they were all ultra-luxury brands: McLaren, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, and more.
There were even a few niche supercar brands.
However, Xu Xiaoning didn't like those supercars. Chen Nan directly led him to the Rolls-Royce showroom, as Rolls-Royce also had a convertible sports car.
"How about this car?" Chen Nan looked at Xu Xiaoning.
Xu Xiaoning did not hide his admiration. "The car is nice, but... if I buy it, do you think my sister will hit me? If brother-in-law can guarantee I won't get hit, then I'll listen to brother-in-law."
Chen Nan was taken aback.
Why was this kid so afraid of Xu Qingxin?
Was that woman that terrifying?
"Don't worry, with brother-in-law here, you won't get hit," Chen Nan said with a smile and then to a salesperson, "I'll buy this car. Please help me with the paperwork."
The salesperson saw them arrive in a LaFerrari and knew they were wealthy, but they hadn't expected them to immediately place an order for this luxury car worth over six million yuan.
Hearing their conversation, it was the brother-in-law buying it for his brother-in-law.
This was truly enviable.
About two hours later, Chen Nan and Xu Xiaoning drove out of the car dealership in a Ferrari and a Rolls-Royce convertible.
Xu Xiaoning had intended to race around, but he received a call telling him to come home for dinner.
He had no choice but to return home.
But as the two entered the house, and Chen Nan saw the alluring figure lounging on the sofa in the living room.
He felt as if he had been struck by lightning!
"Holy hell, why is it her?"
