The meeting time was set for the second week after Huo Jianqiu finished her confinement.

At first, Su Liuxing and Yu Wantong only planned to meet Lou Jiyun in a small circle. After all, they were Su Banxia's direct elders, and they wanted to do some screening first.

But after Su Zeqi and Su Jingmo learned about this, they expressed their opposition.

Su Zeqi said solemnly with a serious face: "That won't do. This is a matter of life and death for my younger sister. Although Lou Jiyun is our brother, brothers are brothers and brother-in-law is brother-in-law. Their statuses are different, so an investigation is necessary."

Su Jingmo nodded in agreement, his lips curled up slightly, with a hint of ridicule: "That's right, this is my little sister who I have spoiled since she was a child. She can't be abducted so easily."

Not only did the two of them want to participate themselves, they also asked Su Banxia's two sisters-in-law to help check from a delicate female perspective.

Somehow this matter reached the ears of Qu Qingzhu and Qin Yunie.

Qu Qingzhu was surprised and slapped his thigh. "When Banxia lived in Plum Garden, we didn't even notice anything! Now we hear that Lou Jiyun is going to the Su family to meet the parents. This is such a big event, we can't miss it."

Qin Yunie covered her mouth and chuckled softly: "That's right, I have to join in the fun and see how Lou Jiyun, who has always been our younger brother, has suddenly become our brother-in-law."

When Su Banxia heard the news, she was completely dumbfounded, her mouth hanging open, speechless for a long time. This was completely different from the simple meal they had agreed on! Why did Brother Qu and Sister Yu Nie want to join in the fun?

Su Jingmo joined in the fun purely for fun.

Although he really didn't want his sister to be "kidnapped" by Lou Jiyun, he would be even more worried if it was another man. In comparison, he felt a little better because Lou Jiyun, who grew up with him and knew him well, was a good person.

Su Zeqi felt that since everyone was going, as the eldest brother, he couldn't stay out of it, otherwise he would seem like an unbrotherly person.

As time went by, the shocking scene that Lou Jiyun faced was formed.

In the living room of the Su family, Su Liuxing and Yu Wantong sat in the main seats, with expressions of concern and a bit of scrutiny; Su Zeqi and Huo Jianqiu sat on one side, Su Zeqi had a serious face, his eyes fell on the door from time to time, Huo Jianqiu was talking softly with Yu Wantong beside him; Su Jingmo and Qu Qingdai sat on the other side, Su Jingmo had a faint smile on his lips, Qu Qingdai looked curious, and whispered a few words to Su Jingmo from time to time; Qu Qingzhu and Qin Yunie were also on the side, the two of them whispered to each other, their eyes full of anticipation.

Lou Jiyun stood alone at the door, took a deep breath, and walked in steadily.

Su Banxia stood beside Lou Jiyun, her face full of worry. She leaned close to Lou Jiyun and whispered, "Don't be nervous. They're not scary at all. Don't worry too much."

"I'm fine." Lou Jiyun smiled with a firm tone. He reached out and gently patted Su Banxia's shoulder, sending her a signal of reassurance.

"Are you really not afraid? I really didn't know that Brother Qu and the others would come." Su Banxia was still a little worried, her brows slightly furrowed, her eyes full of apology.

"I can handle it, don't worry too much." Lou Jiyun comforted her again, his eyes showing confidence and calmness.

As it turned out, Lou Jiyun did remain calm when facing this group of "big guys".

Years of experience in classroom teaching and giving speeches have enabled him to handle various occasions with ease, and he has dealt with all kinds of critical situations.

More importantly, he has been visiting the Su family frequently in recent years and is a close friend of the two Su brothers. Although he is now their brother-in-law, he still visits them frequently during festivals and holidays.

He was already familiar with the temperaments and personalities of these "big brothers" of the Su family, so he was naturally confident in dealing with them.

The sunlight shines through the window into the Su family's spacious and bright living room, casting a warm hue on everything around.

Today is a very special day for Su Banxia and Lou Jiyun - Lou Jiyun officially comes to meet the parents.

Su Liuxing and Yu Wantong sat in the main seats. Su Liuxing gently smoothed his hair and tidied his clothes. Yu Wantong slightly turned sideways and talked softly with Huo Jianqiu beside him. From time to time, she looked towards the door, her eyes full of anticipation and curiosity.

Su Zeqi and Huo Jianqiu sat on the sofa on one side.

Huo Jianqiu leaned gently against him and whispered soothingly, "Don't be so serious. Lou Jiyun and we've known each other for a long time. I think he and Banxia are a good match."

Su Zeqi nodded slightly, a barely perceptible smile on his lips: "That's what I said, but this is my little sister's lifelong event. As her eldest brother, I can't be careless."

Su Jingmo had a faint smile on his lips and a cunning light in his eyes. He whispered to Qu Qingdai from time to time, making Qu Qingdai laugh softly.

"You said that guy Lou Jiyun usually looks very calm. Will he be very nervous when he comes to meet the parents today?" Su Jingmo teased with a smile.

Qu Qingdai patted him lightly and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Professor Lou is not an ordinary person. He might be even calmer than you."

"I really didn't expect that Lou Jiyun and Xia Xia are actually together. Didn't you notice it before?" Qu Qingzhu said with a smile.

"Not at all. The main reason is that they have been in the same school, and we were the ones who asked Lou Jiyun to help take care of Xia Xia. I always feel that we provided the opportunity..." Su Jingmo murmured.

Qin Yunie covered her mouth and chuckled. "Yeah, I didn't expect it to be an assist. But I'm meeting the parents today, so I can test Professor Lou and see how he handles this 'big test'."

"You guys, please don't make it too difficult for him. This is the first time our Xia Xia brings her boyfriend here, and it's to Xiaolou. If you make it too difficult for him, I'll be angry!" Old Mrs. Su interrupted.

"I understand, grandma, don't worry..."

Just as everyone was talking, Su Banxia and Lou Jiyun appeared in everyone's sight.

"Grandma, Mom and Dad, Big Brother and Sister-in-law, Second Brother and Sister-in-law, Big Brother Qu, Sister Yu Nie, you're all here..." Su Banxia greeted them one by one, and shook Lou Jiyun's hand a little guiltily, "This is my boyfriend, Lou Jiyun, you all know him..."

"Grandma Su, uncles and aunts, hello." Lou Jiyun smiled, his voice calm and gentle, and greeted everyone neither humbly nor arrogantly.

He was wearing a well-fitting casual suit, his hair was neatly combed, and his eyes showed confidence and calmness.

Yu Wantong stood up and greeted him warmly: "Xiaolou, please come in and sit down. You must have had a hard journey."

Lou Jiyun walked over and handed the carefully prepared gift to Yu Wantong: "Auntie, this is a small token of my appreciation, not a token of respect."

Yu Wantong took the gift and said with a smile, "You're here, why bring anything? You're so polite."

Old Madam Su also smiled and looked Lou Jiyun up and down: "Xiao Lou, long time no see, you have grown into a big man."

Lou Jiyun responded politely: "Grandma, long time no see. You look healthier and younger recently."

Old Mrs. Su was amused and laughed out loud: "This child has such a sweet mouth."

Lou Jiyun looked at Su Zeqi and nodded. Su Zeqi didn't say anything, but just looked at Lou Jiyun.

Su Jingmo deliberately said, "Lou Jiyun, you're hiding it so well. When did you fall for my Xia Xia? I treat you as a brother, but you want to be my brother-in-law! You two can be considered childhood sweethearts, right? However, I remember Xia Xia always treated you as a brother. What are you doing..."

"I've been planning this for a long time!" Lou Jiyun added with a smile, "Jing Mo, apart from anything else, you know what kind of person I am. Don't worry, I'm serious and I'm not just playing around. I will definitely treat Xia Xia well."

Qu Qingdai smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Okay, Ah Mo, Professor Lou is a good person, so please stop being picky."

"Hmph!" Su Jingmo snorted.

Qu Qingzhu and Qin Yunie also came forward to greet Lou Jiyun. Qu Qingzhu patted Lou Jiyun on the shoulder and said, "Great, Lou Jiyun, you got Banxia without making any noise."

Lou Jiyun responded with a smile: "Hahaha, thank you Qingzhu."

Qin Yunie smiled and said, "You must treat Xia Xia well in the future, otherwise we will not agree."

"Sister Yu Nie, don't worry, I will definitely do it."

As the chairman of the Su Corporation, Su Liuxing naturally exuded an awe-inspiring aura. He looked directly at Lou Jiyun with a scrutinizing expression, then spoke slowly, "Since you said you've been planning this for a long time, then you've been pursuing my daughter all along? And how long have you been in a relationship with her?"

"We've only been dating for a few months." Su Banxia answered hurriedly, with a hint of nervousness in her voice. She bit her lower lip slightly, her eyes revealing some uneasiness, and she secretly glanced at her father's face.

Su Liuxing couldn't help but pinch his brows when he heard this. How many months?

As an old father, he actually knew nothing about this, and he couldn't help but feel a complex emotion in his heart, including surprise at his daughter's love and a bit of regret for not noticing it in time.

"Has it been a few months? I haven't seen you going out on dates or anything like that..." Yu Wantong smiled, her smile gentle and warm. As she spoke, she looked Lou Jiyun up and down, her eyes full of curiosity and exploration.

Su Banxia hesitated for a moment, then hesitantly told Su Liuxing something that nearly made him faint: "Professor Lou and I go to the same school. We were always together after school, and we used to live together in Plum Garden before we moved to the school apartment..."

"So you're living together now?" Yu Wantong smiled calmly. She knew her daughter wasn't the type to be casual, so she jokingly said, "I thought you'd only look for a partner after you graduated with your master's degree. After all, you said your studies were your priority. I didn't expect you'd experience campus romance before graduation. It was with a professor, but it was..."

"What! Su Banxia, ​​you dare to live together!!" Su Liuxing was stunned for a moment, as if his brain had not reacted for a while. After a while, he came back to his senses, raised his voice instantly, and abruptly interrupted Yu Wantong's words.

"It's not what you think..." Su Banxia coughed awkwardly twice, trying to explain, her face flushed red like a ripe tomato. "I was sick before, and Professor Lou lived in Plum Garden to take care of me. We weren't together at that time. Later... after we were together, he wanted to take care of me, so we lived together..."

Everyone was stunned, their expressions froze instantly, their eyes widened as if they had seen something incredible.

Qu Qingzhu, the "spectator" who was just watching the show, was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. His mouth opened wide, forming an "O" shape, and he was thinking: What the hell? They actually lived together in the Plum Garden before, and he and Qin Yunie didn't even notice anything!

Su Liuxing actually did not object to his daughter's love affair, and even supported it.

Although it was a little hard to accept when he first found out that his daughter was in love, his mother and wife repeatedly mentioned Lou Jiyun's many advantages to him. He came to dinner today just to meet Lou Jiyun, learn about the situation of the two of them, and to check on his daughter. He had no intention of breaking up the couple.

After all, Lou Jiyun is the youngest professor in the school. He has outstanding looks and a good reputation. What's more, the Su family and the Lou family have always had a good relationship. Otherwise, his two sons would not treat him as a brother. Su Liuxing is so happy that his daughter can find such an excellent boyfriend.

However, this sudden "blow" made him a little dizzy. He really didn't expect that his daughter was living with someone else before they were together, and has been living together until now!

Su Liuxing never expected that the two would be so bold. They were surrounded by familiar neighbors, and they were really daring enough.

"Dad, Mom, we really didn't do anything out of the ordinary. We just live together and take care of each other..."

"Uncle and aunt, I was inconsiderate and didn't take Banxia's reputation into consideration. I am willing to take responsibility."

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, Grandma Su slowly walked out of the room on crutches. She coughed twice. Although the sound was not loud, it made everyone quiet down: "Stop making noise! ​​The children are so old, and they are still making so much noise."

Old Madam Su walked over to the sofa and sat down, looking at Su Banxia and Lou Jiyun gently. "I think Xiaolou is a very down-to-earth child, and Banxia is not ignorant. Since they say they haven't done anything wrong, we should believe them. Do you think this is still the old society? Children have their own ideas. As elders, we should not be too lenient. As long as they treat each other sincerely and live a good life, that's better than anything else."

With Grandma Su's mediation, the tense atmosphere in the living room gradually eased. Su Liuxing sighed helplessly, sat back on the sofa, and said nothing more...

Su Banxia originally thought that meeting the parents was a scary thing, but she didn't expect that the atmosphere would be so good in the end.

We ate and chatted, and asked briefly about the relationship and future plans. In short, both the host and the guests had a great time during the meal.

Although Su Liuxing knew that the two were living together and had been for such a long time, if he was not angry at them for hiding it well and being so brave, it would be better to say that he was too careless. If he had gone to the school apartment to see his daughter, he would not have failed to discover it.

However, Lou Jiyun is not a bad guy, and there is nothing to complain about his performance. We will have to observe him in the future.

So this meeting with the parents seemed to end in the form of a family reunion.
