Li Zeyu, who was concentrating on writing in the house, rushed downstairs immediately after hearing the message from the housekeeper Uncle Ming.

Now, except for Li Muzhou who is away for training, all the members of the Li family are here.

Ever since they learned that Li Siwei was drugged and framed by Lin Wanrou, Ding Quansheng and others that night, the Li family has been unable to remain calm.

So without even bothering to eat, everyone gathered in the living room and asked Li Siying to tell them in detail what happened that night.

In fact, it was similar to what Chi Yuheng guessed. Apart from blurring out the details of what happened between them and the room that night when she mistakenly entered, Li Siying basically told the truth about everything else.

After the Li family members repeatedly confirmed that Li Siwei was not harmed by Lin Wanrou, Ding Quansheng and others that night, they were so angry that they wanted to rush directly to the Zhou family and beat Zhou Chengfeng up.

Finally, it was Li Siying who reminded them that Chi Yuheng was still there and she was hungry. Only then did the Li family members suppress their anger temporarily, apologize for not taking good care of him, and lead Chi Yuheng to the restaurant.

With the electric wheelchair prepared by Chi Yuheng, Li Siying's movement is indeed much more convenient.

After everyone sat down at the dining table, Cheng Bai, who had disappeared at some point, strode in from outside, holding two exquisite gift boxes.

"What is this?" Li Mengyang stood up in confusion.

"It's my first visit, so I'd like to give you a little gift. I hope Mr. Li and Mrs. Li will accept it." Chi Yuheng also stood up with a smile.

Two gift boxes, one large and one small.

He first picked up a slightly smaller brocade box on top and opened it.

"I happened to learn earlier that the renowned Chinese painting master, Yuelu, was none other than Madam Li, so I prepared this inkstone. I hope Madam Li will like it..."

As he said that, he placed the gift box in front of Lu Yueci with both hands.

At just one glance, Lu Yueci recognized that the inkstone in the brocade box was not only of top quality, but also a priceless collection.

I was shocked that he knew my identity, and also shocked by his grasp of people's preferences.

Although she did not hide it on purpose, the people who paid attention to this industry were, apart from those in the circle, some vulgar people who pretended to be cultured, and Lu Yueci had never liked dealing with these people.

So, to this day, only a few close friends in the circle know my true identity...

Lu Yueci took the brocade box from Chi Yuheng's hand with a smile. The more she looked at it, the more amazed she felt.

However, she didn't show much emotion on her face. Instead, she smiled politely and said, "This inkstone is really too valuable. How can I let Mr. Chi spend money on it..."

"This is a small gift from me. If Madam Li doesn't mind, please accept it with peace of mind."

Chi Yuheng also laughed, "Besides, I'm a complete layman in Chinese painting. If this thing stays in my hands, it will just be a pearl covered in dust. It's better to hand it over to Master Yue Lu and make the best use of it..."

He spoke modestly and sincerely, so Lu Yueci no longer refused.

"Then I'll accept it. Mr. Chi is thoughtful."

"As long as Madam Li likes it."

After closing the gift box again, Lu Yueci handed it to Aunt Tong, who had always taken care of her.

Aunt Tong carefully held the gift box and stood aside.

After giving gifts to the future mother-in-law, the next step is naturally the future father-in-law.

When they opened the slightly larger brocade box in Cheng Bai's hand, what caught their eyes was a set of tea sets.

Still holding it up with both hands, and presenting it to Li Mengyang, Chi Yuheng said:

"I've heard before that Director Li loves drinking tea and collecting famous teas and tea sets..."

"I have quite a collection of famous teas, but unfortunately I couldn't bring them to Haicheng this time, so I'll give this new set of teaware to Mr. Li as a token of my appreciation."

"When I return to Jingbei, I will bring the fine tea I have collected to drink with Mr. Li..."

Just one glance and a light of surprise flashed in Li Mengyang's eyes.

I almost immediately recognized this exquisite tea set consisting of a pot, a sugar bowl, four cups, and four trays, a total of ten pieces.

"Could this be the same tea set by Master Gu that sold for 1 million yuan at Sotheby's last month?"

"Mr. Li has a really good eye." Chi Yuheng smiled.

When Li Mengyang learned that it was indeed the "Songtao Xianrui" set that he asked his assistant to shoot but failed to capture, he couldn't let it go.

She took the brocade box directly from Chi Yuheng's hand, brought it close to her face, and examined it carefully...

Looking at the two gifts given by the man, Li Siwei looked suspicious.

No! This is a way to cater to his needs, and he must have come prepared!

Looking at the sunflower bracelet on her wrist again, she suddenly felt that not only herself, but even her parents had been plotted against by this old man.

With her arms crossed over her chest, Li Siwei watched as the man's favorability in her parents' hearts soared in just a few minutes.

She tilted her head and curled her lips, cursing inwardly:

What a fox! A flatterer!

Although Li Siwei's mumbling was very soft, almost no one present noticed it.

But someone who was giving gifts to win her favor was busy with work and still focused most of his attention on her, so he happened to see it.

Chi Yuheng curled the corners of his lips imperceptibly, then tilted his head to look at Li Siwei, who was mumbling to herself, and asked knowingly, "What did Li Li say? I didn't hear clearly."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention was instantly drawn to Li Siying. Even Li Mengyang, who was holding the teapot reluctantly, raised his head.

"Aiai, what's wrong?"

Li Siwei: ...

I was surprised by someone's outrageous actions.

She was stunned for only a second before she curved her lips and smiled, "Oh, it's nothing. I was just praising Mr. Chi for his ingenuity. The gifts he prepared just happened to be things you, Mom and Dad, like. He's really thoughtful!"

At first glance it sounds like a compliment, but when you taste it carefully, it seems like something is not right.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across his face. Li Mengyang laughed twice and began to smooth things over.

"Don't blame me, Brother Chi. Yaoyao is young, so her words may not express her feelings clearly."

"Well, since the dishes are almost served, let's start the meal!"

"Brother Chi, you have helped my wife so many times. Today, we two brothers should have a few drinks and let me, as your elder brother, express my gratitude to you..."

Chi Yuheng smiled and said, "Mr. Li, you're too polite."

He didn't mean to embarrass Li Siwei, but because she looked so cute when she was angry, he wanted to tease her.

One is his future daughter-in-law, the other is his future father-in-law. Chi Yuheng didn't dare to offend either of them. He could only smile and sit back in his seat.

Seeing that his mission had been completed, Cheng Bai was about to quietly leave, but was stopped by Li Mengyang who was sitting in the main seat.

He said that it was to thank her for the candy box he brought with him on the day of the engagement party, which helped Li Siying out of her urgent need.

Li Mengyang invited him to stay and have dinner together.

He used his eyes to inquire about his boss's intentions.

Seeing that Chi Yuheng had no objection, he found an empty seat nearby and sat down.

Then the housekeeper Uncle Ming brought another bottle of white wine, and Li Mengyang handed the wine to Chi Yuheng and asked him what he thought.

Chi Yuheng took a look around and praised it as "good wine".

Li Mengyang laughed and ordered someone to fill up the glass...
