Thump thump.
Nianyang’s heart started pounding wildly!
Did this old man smear honey on his lips?
If she hadn’t heard it with her own ears, it would be hard to imagine that her unromantic Brother Li could say something so sweet and cheesy. Truly, you can’t judge a book by its cover!
It wasn’t just Nianyang; even Jiang Aiguo and Sun Li were blushing furiously from listening.
They were of an age that such cheesy words were truly hard to handle.
It was so embarrassing!
Coughing lightly, Jiang Aiguo changed the subject, "So, Tingyan, I just heard you say your family lives in a mansion? Mansions in Pingjing aren’t for just anyone. What do your parents do?"
Li Tingyan hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth,
"My mother is an ordinary person, and my father is a small business owner running a private company."
A private company owner?
Is it possible to be a private company owner and still call it a small business?
Jiang Aiguo originally thought Li Tingyan was just personally capable, that his family might have slightly better conditions by living in the city. Who would’ve thought he’d have such strong backing? His entire family is in business, destined to be future tycoons!
Jiang Aiguo and Sun Li were just ordinary farmers, and the news left them completely stunned.
Even Nianyang, who was mentally prepared for Li Tingyan’s family to be unusual, was taken aback.
Who would’ve thought her destined lover had such a formidable background?
In modern times, this would surely be the classic "domineering CEO falls in love with me" story!
Hmm, it seems she must work hard and absolutely cannot be a burden to Li Tingyan; she must become someone worthy of him!
Li Tingyan knew his grandfather’s identity would surely shock the simple Jiang family. He smiled slightly and said, "Uncle, Aunt, I have never talked about my family’s occupation at work. The reason I’m telling you this is that I’m sincere about wanting to be with Nini, so I hope you can keep it confidential."
The pressure at Li Tingyan’s job is also very high.
His achievements today are all earned through his own hard work.
If his actual family conditions were disclosed, some might exploit it, claiming he used connections or whatnot.
Jiang Aiguo understood the stakes, and he reluctantly pulled himself together, "Of course, our family is honest; we won’t tell anyone. You can rest assured."
"However... with your family’s background, will your parents truly accept our Yangyang? We’re just down-to-earth farmers and can’t handle your elite circle."
Sun Li said with a look of anxiety. Previously, she felt at ease about entrusting Nianyang to Li Tingyan, but now she hesitated.
If it were a matter of individual differences, they might find ways to remedy it.
But this is a difference in family background, a gap that could never be crossed!
They didn’t want Nianyang to face disdain from her in-laws with them being powerless, unable to protect or help her, just thinking about it made their hearts ache.
Li Tingyan squinted his eyes and said, "Uncle, Aunt, my father’s business has nothing to do with me. As I said, I’m the one getting married, not my parents. Furthermore, they are good people and will definitely like Nini, so you can trust me with her."
When most people hear about his background, they would jump at the chance to establish connections, but the Jiang family’s first concern is always his Nini.
This took Li Tingyan by surprise.
His little wife may not have had good parents, but she does have relatives who are as good as parents!
