Chapter 67

The sun was scorching, and Ye Xiaoxuan stood under it, holding an umbrella, looking into the distance.

Ye Xiaoli stood in the neighborhood guardhouse, opened the window, and shouted to Ye Xiaoxuan, "Xiaoxuan, don't just stand there in the sun, come over, it's cool in here with the air conditioning!"

Ye Xiaoxuan shook her head, "Just a little longer, he should be here soon!"

Ye Xiaoli shook her head, walked out of the guardhouse, and pulled Ye Xiaoxuan, "Are you crazy? Give him a call, confirm the time, and wait until he's almost here before you go out. Isn't that better?"

Ye Xiaoxuan was pulled into the guardhouse by her sister, and the cool air made her a bit dazed, "That's not a good idea, right?"

"Isn't that how your hospital prepares for inspections? Do you really want to wait around all day?" Ye Xiaoli poked her sister's forehead with her slender finger, "You silly girl, even if you like him, you shouldn't chase after him. You need to maintain a cool and aloof demeanor!"

"You already said his family is from the county, so they must be ordinary! And his father was seriously ill, even though he's better now, liver cancer patients rarely live more than five years! So, his conditions are just average, I really don't think he's a good match for you!"

Ye Xiaoxuan's face turned slightly red as she defended herself, "But he's very capable, he's an appraiser, very skilled at appraising antiques! And your father's illness is better now, he shouldn't have to be hospitalized again!"

Ye Xiaoli was frustrated, "Xiaoxuan, why can't you understand? His ordinary family background limits his future prospects. If he just helps his friends with antique shops and doesn't have much development, he might end up doing that for the rest of his life!"

"Sis, your view is wrong!" Ye Xiaoxuan countered.

"Alright, I won't argue with you. Let's see what Mom and Dad think. Your job isn't bad, you work in the VIP ward, and you interact with people of high status. Why did you choose a poor guy with no family background? I really don't get it!"

Ye Xiaoli waved her hand, signaling Xiaoxuan not to say more.

Ye Xiaoxuan felt helpless and couldn't explain that Yang Bo was actually wealthy. She looked up and saw Yang Bo getting out of a taxi, and she quickly waved, "Over here! Over here!"

Yang Bo walked over and saw Ye Xiaoxuan running out of the guardhouse, followed by a woman who looked somewhat like her, clearly her sister.

Ye Xiaoxuan introduced Yang Bo, "This is Yang Bo."

She then pointed to her sister, "This is my sister, Ye Xiaoli!"

Yang Bo extended his hand to shake hers, "Hello!"

Ye Xiaoli also sized up Yang Bo. The young man had an ordinary appearance but had very expressive eyes. His initial impression was not great, and with his ordinary family background, his overall score was only three out of ten, below average!

Without much small talk, the three of them walked into the neighborhood.

On the way, Ye Xiaoli tried to learn more about Yang Bo's past, but his past was like a blank sheet of paper, with nothing remarkable, which made Ye Xiaoli lower her score even more.

When they entered the house, Yang Bo saw a couple in their fifties sitting in the living room. Ye Xiaoxuan introduced them as her parents, and Yang Bo quickly greeted them as Uncle and Aunt.

Ye Father had a stern face and said nothing, just staring at Yang Bo.

Ye Mother, on the other hand, was kind and pulled Yang Bo to sit down, then went to pour him a cup of tea, placing it on the coffee table in front of him, smiling, "You must be thirsty from the trip, have some tea!"

Yang Bo thanked her and said, "It's fine, it's fine!"

At this moment, Yang Bo realized he was so nervous that his palms were sweating. He had never experienced such a situation before; it was like being scrutinized by a future mother-in-law!

He hadn't expected this to happen and was momentarily flustered, but he quickly calmed down. He hadn't even thought about dating yet, and his career was just starting, so he needed to focus more on his work. With this thought, his anxiety faded.

When Ye Mother asked about his situation, Yang Bo remained calm, which actually made her view him more favorably.

The doorbell rang, and Ye Xiaoxuan ran to open it, calling out, "Brother-in-law."

Yang Bo turned around and saw a young man walk in, followed by a middle-aged man in his forties.

Yang Bo was surprised. The young man was tall and handsome, but what caught his attention was the middle-aged man behind him, who was none other than Yu Da, whom he had met in Guangling!

Thinking about Ye Xiaoxuan's brother-in-law also being surnamed Yu, Yang Bo frowned, wondering if they were father and son.

Ye Father and Ye Mother stood up to shake hands with Yu Da, their attitude much warmer than before. Ye Xiaoxuan gave Yang Bo an apologetic smile.

After some pleasantries, Yu Mingwei said, "Uncle Da, please sit down and have some tea!"

Yu Da nodded, remaining calm, "Sure!"

Hearing this, Yang Bo thought that he had been too down-to-earth and hadn't maintained a cool and aloof demeanor like Yu Da, which might have made the Ye family look down on him. However, he was only there to repay Ye Xiaoxuan's kindness and didn't care too much about other things.

Yu Mingwei walked to the sofa and noticed the young man sitting there. He knew immediately that this was the appraiser Ye Xiaoxuan had invited. But seeing how young he looked, he couldn't believe he could be an appraiser!

Yu Mingwei had graduated from university and worked as a civil servant in the Jinling City Finance Bureau, which gave him a strong sense of superiority over his peers, especially over someone younger, who had only a high school education and might become his brother-in-law. His sense of superiority soared!

"Who are you?" Yu Mingwei stared at Yang Bo and asked.

"He's Yang Bo," Ye Xiaoli, knowing her husband's nature, quickly pulled him and explained.

Yang Bo hadn't expected the newcomer to try to intimidate him. After a brief pause, he didn't even look at Yu Mingwei but instead said to Yu Da, "Mr. Yu, I didn't expect to see you so soon!"

Yu Da's smile didn't fade, "Little Brother Yang, I didn't expect to see you either. I came to help my distant nephew, but if I had known you were here, I wouldn't have needed to come!"

Yang Bo stood up, and Yu Da walked over, and they shook hands, the atmosphere harmonious.

This left Yu Mingwei feeling frustrated. He had intended to give Yang Bo a hard time to show him who was who, but he hadn't expected Yu Da to be so friendly. His attempt to intimidate Yang Bo had backfired, leaving him feeling sour and embarrassed.

Ye Xiaoli also widened her eyes, hardly believing that the uncle Yu Mingwei always boasted about would treat Yang Bo this way!
