Chapter 409 You asked me to send a gift for our first meeting, but you actually sent a betrothal gif
Xu Chaofeng was waiting at the door. When he heard his name finally called, he hurried in and handed the document he had been holding to Yan Zhixu.
Liang Liangwei's gaze fell on a bag that Xu Chaofeng was still carrying, and she paused for a moment.
She hadn't noticed before, but wasn't the bag Xu Chaofeng was carrying the same one Yan Zhixu had used to pack "The Summit of the Iceberg"? Why did she bring it along?
Or do they have many of these bags at home, used to store various valuable items?
What could be in this bag?
Didn't I tell him he couldn't send things he shouldn't send?
Commander Liang glanced back and forth between Yan Zhixu and Xu Chaofeng's hands, and said meaningfully, "Mr. Yan, I think you should know that I will not accept gifts."
Yan Zhixu slowly untied the folder, a faint smile playing on her lips, and said, "Uncle, I understand your special status and will not do anything to put you in a difficult position. I came here today not only to visit you, but also to show you my sincerity."
Commander Liang: "What sincerity?"
Yan Zhixu took out several documents, each of which was bound, and handed them to the person opposite him one by one.
"This is a Buddha head that I previously had someone bid for at an overseas auction house. After being appraised by domestic cultural relics experts, it was determined to be a national treasure that was stolen by white people in the West half a century ago. It has now been transported back to China and was sent to the Capital Museum this afternoon in Weiwei's name. This is a certificate of donation and commendation."
Commander Liang was slightly taken aback. He took the certificate and looked at it. The person being honored was indeed Liang Liangwei.
Liang Liangwei was also surprised. After reading the certificate, she flipped it over to read the rest. It introduced the cultural relic status of the Buddha head and the general details of the auction. She was shocked by the auction price of the Buddha head—5000 million US dollars!
She looked up at the man opposite her, stunned. Before she could ask the question that was on her mind, the man had already handed her several more documents.
"This is a charitable foundation that I founded in Weiwei's name. It was only established half a month ago. As long as Weiwei completes the formalities, the legal representative's name will be changed to hers. So far, it has successfully raised 200 million yuan. The Qichuang project is to help children with diseases and provide educational assistance in mountainous areas, and both have been approved."
"This is the transfer document for 1% of the shares of the Bosch Group, which is being transferred from my personal shareholding. It is currently worth tens of billions of US dollars, and its future value is incalculable, but I will do my best to make it continue to appreciate."
He took the bag from Xu Chaofeng, took out the box inside, opened it, and displayed the "Summit of the Snow Mountain" that was sparkling with starlight to the two of them.
“This is ‘Summit of the Snow Mountain’. Vivi is very familiar with it. I bought it from an auction house abroad. It was originally a gift for my grandmother, but after my grandmother found out that I had a girlfriend, she offered to give it to the person I liked as one of the betrothal gifts.”
The father and daughter were stunned again.
bride price?
You were asked to send a gift to meet my family, but you sent a betrothal gift instead?
Commander Liang looked at Liang Liangwei with a blank expression, and Liang Liangwei was startled and looked at Yan Zhixu with a blank expression as well.
"You...you didn't even tell me, why are you sending betrothal gifts...no, who told you to send betrothal gifts?"
Her face was already bright red.
This jerk, how could he act so presumptuously?
It's too much!
But at the same time, she actually felt a secret sense of satisfaction.
It has to be said that his "betrothal gift" was truly unique. While others would give jewelry, gold bars, or cash, he actually gave assets and honors!
They didn't give gifts directly to Lao Liang, but they delivered everything they wanted to Lao Liang!
That's right. Lao Liang spent his life in the military, was self-disciplined and respectful, and valued honor the most!
He even knew to put the Buddha's head first, which really got Lao Liang completely under his control!
but……
Commander Liang is not someone who is so easily pleased.
Even if he were truly pleased with himself, he wouldn't be the type to easily reveal his true feelings.
Sure enough, Commander Liang pursed his lips, his face was cold, and his eyes were fixed on Yan Zhixu. However, his eyes twitched almost imperceptibly, accompanied by bulging veins.
Though her tone was amused, the smile didn't reach her eyes: "Are you sure this isn't something that's putting me in a difficult position? Do you think that by offering these things, I'll immediately agree to let Weiwei marry you? A dowry? Hmph, you dare to say that! Such a small token of affection will blind our Weiwei to marry just anyone?"
Liang Liangwei looked at the man opposite her with bright eyes, clutching the hem of her clothes with both hands, wishing she could nod right now: I'm willing to marry him!
Yan Zhixu said calmly, "Uncle, you misunderstand. I don't insist that you marry Weiwei to me today. As I said, I'm just expressing my sincerity and proving that I truly like, no, I love her, so I'm willing to give her everything I can."
Liang Liangwei: He loves her, he loves her, he loves her! (heart eyes)
Commander Liang scoffed, "Sincerity? Are you trying to put me in a difficult position and force me to agree?"
Liang Liangwei: Dad, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to scare my boyfriend away?!
Yan Zhixu: "No, that's not what I meant. These are just some of the things I want to give as betrothal gifts. I'm still preparing the rest. Today, I just hope to put my uncle at ease and get him to agree to let me officially date Weiwei with marriage as the premise."
Liang Liangwei pressed her hand to her chest.
She couldn't control her heart, which was pounding wildly!
Commander Liang finally couldn't stand it anymore and turned his head to glare at her, his tone annoyed: "I'm talking to him, what are you twisting like that for?"
Liang Liangwei immediately stopped smiling and sat up straight.
Yan Zhixu noticed her little actions and emotions and couldn't help but chuckle.
Commander Liang withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and calmed himself down.
He said calmly, "Whether I agree or not, you two are already dating. As for marriage, there's no rush. Weiwei is still young, and I want to raise her for a few more years."
Liang Liangwei thought to herself: Don't you listen to what you're saying? It's as if you weren't the one who pressured your daughter to get married a year ago and forced her to run away from home half a year ago!
Yan Zhixu readily agreed: "Yes, I will listen to you, Uncle. I will marry her whenever you agree to let her marry me."
No matter how cold Commander Liang's tone and attitude were, Yan Zhixu seemed to be able to handle it with ease. This made Commander Liang feel like he was hitting cotton, and all his strength was absorbed without causing any reaction.
The atmosphere was tense when someone's stomach suddenly started growling loudly.
Liang Liangwei touched her lower abdomen and smiled awkwardly, "Um... Dad, how about we eat first? I'm so hungry."
Commander Liang had naturally prepared dinner. While they were talking, the kitchen was preparing the meal, and the aroma of the food had already wafted out. Yet someone was still carrying the food, leading everyone to talk on an empty stomach.
Commander Liang glanced at his daughter, but couldn't bear to let her continue to go hungry, so he snorted and said, "Then let's eat first."
Liang Liangwei cheered, gathered the documents in her hands, stuffed them back into the folder, and put them aside. She looked up and saw Yan Zhixu winking at her.
She followed the gaze and saw "The Peak of the Iceberg" on the coffee table.
After a slight hesitation, she didn't refuse this time. She closed the box, smiled at him, and said, "Keep it with you for now, I'll ask you for it if I need it."
The implication is: I'll accept it.
