At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

Gu Yu was dressed in a dark blue suit, while Lin Xinyue was helping him adjust his tie.

"Will this suit be okay for visiting your home? Should I buy a new pair of leather shoes?"

After tying the tie, Gu Yu spun around in front of Lin Xinyue to show off his outfit.

"It's fine! The leather shoes you're wearing now are really nice, and it would take a while to get a custom pair from a boutique."

"This trip back is just to accompany me to Grandpa's birthday celebration, it doesn't need to be too elaborate!"

Lin Xinyue shook her head, looking at Gu Yu's attire for the day with satisfaction.

Young, handsome, and obviously talented.

He must be the ideal son-in-law her parents had in mind, right?

Today's Gu Yu could even win an award at a model convention!

With everything ready, Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue went downstairs.

He first drove his old Audi A8L over, then loaded the gifts Lin Xinyue had prepared beforehand into the trunk.

Gu Yu activated the GPS and quickly determined their route.

...

Half an hour later.

Building 9, Olympic Garden complex, Jiangsong District.

Under the guidance of the security, Gu Yu parked the car in the underground garage of the complex.

Exiting the garage, the beautifully landscaped complex came into view.

Currently, the average price per square meter in Olympic Garden is 50,000 yuan, which, although not very high in Modu, is known for being a high-end complex.

The residential building beside, Building 9, was where Lin Xinyue's family lived.

Carrying various prepared gifts from the trunk, Gu Yu exhaled deeply.

Normally unflappable, he found himself nervous at this moment.

Meeting Mr. Liu and Mrs. Bai previously was different; this time, he was going to directly face Lin Xinyue's parents and perhaps grandparents, uncles, and aunts.

It was natural to be nervous.

They say the first impression when meeting a lover's parents is very important, and he was also worried that Xinyue's relatives wouldn't accept him.

Noticing Gu Yu's nervousness, Lin Xinyue took the initiative to hold his hand.

"What's wrong? My darling, you weren't this nervous at the international auction!"

Lin Xinyue smiled warmly, pulling out a tissue from her pocket to wipe off the fine sweat on Gu Yu's forehead, which could have been from heat or nervousness.

"It's different, I don't care what those foreigners think of me, but your parents are another story!"

"What if they don't like me?"

"What if they think we're not suitable for each other?"

"What if... hmm!"

Gu Yu listed off several 'what ifs,' but Lin Xinyue quickly covered his mouth with her hand.

"Tsk, tsk, there are no 'what ifs'! My boyfriend is so handsome and has such a good personality, how could they not like you?"

"Plus, I've already talked to them about you! They are really looking forward to meeting you!"

Lin Xinyue reassured Gu Yu.

Gu Yu locked eyes with Lin Xinyue for three seconds, then nodded.

No matter what, this was a necessary step to take.

He shouldn't be nervous now; instead, he should show a man's resolve!

With that in mind, he puffed out his chest and walked into the elevator with Lin Xinyue.

The elevator ascended, coming to a steady stop on the sixth floor.

"Ding! Sixth floor!"

Gu Yu didn't even know how he had managed to walk out of the elevator, but when he came to his senses, he was already standing in front of door number 602.

Two large floor vases were placed by the door, containing tall slender bamboo.

"I'm going to knock, okay?"

Lin Xinyue gave Gu Yu a smiling look and raised her hand, ready to knock.

Gu Yu hurriedly stopped her, took a deep breath, then said earnestly, "Let me do the knocking!"

Without further ado, he knocked twice on the security door.

Soon, footsteps could be heard from behind the door.

"Click!" The door opened, and a woman with a lovely face peered out.

Although fine lines had already appeared at the corners of her eyes and on her forehead, her beauty from her youth was still discernible.

What was more crucial was that she bore at least a sixty percent similarity to Lin Xinyue!

Without a doubt, this had to be Lin Xinyue's mother!

"Ah! Is that our Yueyue returning!"

The woman spotted her daughter first and exclaimed with a face full of surprise.

"Mom! I missed you so much!" Lin Xinyue hugged her mother tightly.

But before the hug even lasted two seconds, Mrs. Lin pushed her away and asked sternly, "Where's your boyfriend?"

She scanned behind her daughter twice but did not see anyone else.

She thought that Lin Xinyue had not brought her boyfriend back with her!

Hadn't it been agreed that this time she would bring her boyfriend back?

This naughty girl, she couldn't have been deceiving her, could she?

But the next second, a figure moved from behind the door to Lin Xinyue's side: "Hello, Auntie!"

Gu Yu fought back the urge to stutter and greeted Mrs. Lin with a smile on his face.

Lin Xinyue shot him a look, as Gu Yu had been standing at the door the whole time, nearly causing her to be misunderstood by her own mother!

"Um..." Mrs. Lin froze, then her gaze quickly swept over Gu Yu from head to toe.

First glance was confusion, the second was surprise, and the third was complete satisfaction!

"You must be the Yu that Yueyue mentioned, right? Oh my, young man, quickly come in, come in!"

Mrs. Lin's face beamed with a brilliant smile as she pulled Gu Yu into the house, her mouth agape with joy.

In just a few seconds, she was already won over by Gu Yu's appearance.

At the very least, based on looks alone, Gu Yu was certainly handsome!

He looked just like a television star!

His appearance was definitely a match for her Yueyue.

"Auntie, here are some gifts I brought for you, and also for Uncle, Grandpa and Grandma. There's something for everyone."

Gu Yu hastily handed over the gift bags he was carrying to Mrs. Lin.

Although these bags looked small, the items inside would not cost less than fifty thousand!

Not to mention, this time he even brought with him the century-old ginseng and saffron that Old Mr. Chen had given to him!

These weren't items one could simply buy with money.

He had never had the time to consume them, and now they turned out to be just the right occasion.

They were perfect as gifts for Grandpa Xinyue's birthday.

"Oh my, look at you bringing gifts to our house! Aren't you acting like an outsider!"

Mrs. Lin's face was all smiles as she took the heavy gifts from Gu Yu's hands.

Inside, she was becoming more and more pleased with Gu Yu.

Not only was he handsome, but he also had not forgotten his manners!

Seeing her mother like this, Lin Xinyue was genuinely happy from the bottom of her heart.

She knew that her mother had taken a liking to Gu Yu.

The first impression seemed really good!

She hadn't spent all day prepping Gu Yu for nothing!

Gu Yu also turned to blink at her, and seeing Mrs. Lin's warmth, he felt less nervous.

He had initially thought he would be put through a grilling!

It seemed he had been worrying unnecessarily.

Yet, as he walked into the living room holding Lin Xinyue's hand, he realized what a real "meeting the parents" was like!

The living room was packed with people, with at least ten pairs of eyes staring at him!

For a moment, Gu Yu didn't know where to start greeting.

All these people were Yueyue's relatives!

Crap! Did they all have to be here!?

Gu Yu's nerves were shot.
