Chapter 383 This girl probably comes from a very powerful family.
Yan Zhixu looked at Old Master Yan, who had been silent for a while, and said, "Dad, now that everything has been explained, Weiwei has never been with Bei'an. So, can you accept me dating Weiwei?"
Old Master Yan's stern face remained tense for a moment, but his tone softened considerably: "With such a big idea, do you still need to ask me? Do whatever you want."
Aside from the issues surrounding their relationship, what he was actually more concerned about was Yan Zhixu's threatening words to him in the study earlier—that if he didn't accept Weiwei, he would change his surname to Zhou!
Does this sound like a word?
It was as if he was trying to force the Yan family's offspring out!
The fact that they agreed to let him inherit the Zhou family business had already broken his defenses, but at least it still had the surname Yan.
If this really is a change of surname to Zhou...
How could he face the ancestors of the Yan family, and how could he face his younger brother and sister-in-law who died young?
Liang Liangwei: "Uncle Yan, Yan Zhixu and I like each other, and we're both very happy to be together. But we definitely need the approval and blessings of our elders, otherwise, wouldn't it be pointless to just keep our happiness to ourselves?"
Grandpa Yan finally looked at her.
He already liked this girl, and even though he had spoken a bit harshly to his youngest son and grandson earlier, he hadn't taken his anger out on her. Now, hearing her speak gently, his anger subsided by three-tenths.
He gave a light snort and said, "Your way of addressing me is quite easy to pronounce."
Of course! We've practiced many times in private already!
Liang Liangwei smiled and said, "Not only have I changed my way of addressing you, but I also brought gifts for you all today. Would you like to take a look?"
Xiao Ling sighed again. The first two times she came, she came empty-handed—this was another sign.
She also secretly criticized her son at the time, for not knowing that when visiting a girl's home, it's customary to bring a gift, even if he has to pay for it himself.
Now it seems that since the relationship wasn't real, they naturally wouldn't have thought about giving a gift at the door.
Yan Zhixu handed the bags he had just placed on the ground to Liang Liangwei, which immediately attracted the attention of Old Master Yan.
Grandpa Yan's expression softened considerably: "You even brought a gift? How thoughtful of you?"
Liang Liangwei took out one of the exquisite boxes, which was obviously a private high-end custom-made box, and respectfully handed it to him with both hands: "I saw that you like to play Go, so I asked a private craftsman to make a set of jade Go stones. They are made of Xinjiang Hetian jade and feel very nice. I hope you like them."
When Grandpa Yan opened the box and saw the exquisite jade chess pieces inside, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't hide his delight.
"Luminous and translucent, warm and smooth, it is indeed fine jade. It must have taken a lot of effort to make it."
Liang Liangwei smiled and said, "I'm glad Uncle likes it."
She then took out another gift box and handed it to Yan Yunting: "Brother Yan, this is a She inkstone collection that I picked out for you. I hope you like it."
Yan Yunting was slightly surprised. He reached out and took the box, opened the lid, and found a pure black She inkstone inside. The inner layer of the lid also had a certificate of authenticity.
"You know I like calligraphy?"
Liang Liangwei: "Yan Zhixu told me."
Yan Yunting: "Thank you, you've gone to so much trouble."
Yan Zhixu ruffled her hair as a sign of encouragement.
Liang Liangwei took out the last gift, looked at Xiao Ling, and asked, "Does sister-in-law know Raya?"
When it comes to the fashion industry, Xiao Ling knows it like the back of her hand. She nodded hurriedly and said, "I know, she's a well-known jewelry designer in China. Each of her designs has no more than five pieces, so they're very hard to buy."
Liang Liangwei: "Two months ago, she participated in the 'Silver Heart' design competition and submitted two brooch designs, both of which won awards. Later, only two finished products were made for each design."
Xiao Ling nodded again: "Yes, yes, they said that the entries are not for sale and will not be sold to the public."
Liang Liangwei: "Besides keeping her own non-sale works, she would also give them away to friends privately depending on her mood. Coincidentally, she happens to be a good friend of mine. I asked for one of her works and gave it to my sister-in-law as a gift."
She handed the gift box over with both hands.
Xiao Ling was overjoyed to see the exquisitely designed brooch; it was exactly what she wanted!
"Weiwei, I can't accept this. It's too valuable, and it's a collectible. You should keep it for yourself."
Liang Liangwei smiled and said, "If I want more, I can ask her for other things later. I specifically asked her for this brooch for you, sister-in-law. If you like it, please accept it. It looks great with your clothes!"
Xiao Ling: "Then I won't be polite, Weiwei is so thoughtful~"
Yan Yunting had already set the She inkstone aside. He was a reserved person, and the joy of receiving such a valuable gift was quickly suppressed. At this moment, he was looking at Liang Liangwei with a meaningful gaze.
These three gifts are all rare items, none of them worth less than 500,000 yuan. Giving such valuable gifts on the first meeting shows that this girl's family must be very wealthy.
They had underestimated her abilities; they thought she was just a girl from an ordinary family.
The reason he didn't suspect that Yan Zhixu had provided the funds for her was because he had observed carefully that Yan Zhixu would show surprise every time Liang Liangwei took out a gift. Although it was only fleeting, his reaction was undeniable.
Therefore, she carefully prepared all these gifts herself.
Private artisans are not people that ordinary people can contact.
The sales channels for genuine She inkstones are not easily accessible to the average person.
Top jewelry designers don't just give away their limited-edition pieces to people they don't have a special relationship with.
This girl probably comes from a very powerful family.
Grandpa Yan had already put down the jade chess pieces, and then spoke up to remind Xiao Ling, "Daughter-in-law."
Xiao Ling responded, "Yes, Dad."
The two exchanged a glance, and Old Master Yan raised his chin in a gesture, which Xiao Ling immediately understood.
Picking up the brocade box from the coffee table, she said with a smile, "Weiwei, we've also prepared a gift for you. This is what Zhixu's biological mother left for him—Zhixu, have you told Weiwei about it?"
Yan Zhixu nodded: "I've already said that."
Xiao Ling: "That's good, otherwise it would seem like what I said was too abrupt. This is his mother's dowry jade bracelet, which she has always treasured. Later, when sorting through his belongings, Zhixu asked Dad to keep it safe, and Dad has kept it until now. Today, you are coming home with Zhixu, so this jade bracelet is just right to be your first gift."
As she spoke, she opened the brocade box, revealing a jade bracelet inside.
Liang Liangwei's eyes flickered slightly. She could recognize the grade and quality of the jadeite. It was clearly an extraordinary and top-quality piece. She quickly said, "It's too precious. I can't accept it."
Xiao Ling smiled and said, "If you can't accept it, then who can? This bracelet is meant for Zhi Xu's chosen partner these days. Besides, he asked Dad to take it out a few days ago so he could give it to his girlfriend tonight. So you can definitely accept it."
Yan Zhixu put his arm around Liang Liangwei's shoulder and said softly, "It's for you, keep it."
Liang Liangwei felt a warmth in her heart and finally accepted the gift with both hands, saying, "Thank you."
