Chapter 196 This is the Engagement
Jinghai University official Weibo: Our university highly commends Professor Yu Xiayang in all aspects. Professor Luo Sheng has been suspended for investigation. The results of the investigation will be announced later. We welcome your feedback.
Luo Sheng's world was falling. He had never expected this outcome!
How is it possible? How could he be Cheng Yan's CEO, and even married? How did Xia Yang get close to Cheng Yan's CEO? Was it just his face and his seductive ways? Wasn't he with Fu Xiuyan? That's right! He must be a fickle person! He had a plan. As long as he told Cheng Yan's CEO about this, he would definitely deal with Xia Yang. He wouldn't even have to do anything.
But how could he contact the president of Cheng Yan? Luo Sheng then began to search for the contact information of all Cheng Yan companies.
In the castle of Country Y, Fu Xiuyan sat upright with his back straight and his hands neatly placed on his legs. He looked normal, but those who knew him could see that he was very nervous.
Sitting opposite were Xia Yang's grandparents.
Xia Yang sat next to Fu Xiuyan, leaning against him with a crooked body. Fu Xiuyan coughed dryly, and felt an unpleasant gaze from the opposite side. Fu Xiuyan lowered his eyes to glance at Xia Yang, but he refused to look away.
Xia Yang's hands were not honest under the table, and he kept nudging Fu Xiuyan.
The most excited person was Yu Chi. Upon hearing that Fu Xiuyan was coming, he rushed over to watch the fun. He had a pile of fruits and snacks in front of him, and his eyes were scanning the surroundings with intense excitement.
The arrival of Butler Zhang broke the silence.
Fu Xiuyan took the two items brought by Butler Zhang and respectfully presented them to the two elders.
Yu Chi pulled Xia Yang over and stuffed a handful of freshly peeled melon seeds into his hand: "Sit here, brother, and watch the fun."
Yu Chi didn't lower his voice deliberately, so everyone present could hear it. So he inevitably received a glare from both his grandparents.
"Grandpa, Grandma. This is my first visit, so I've brought a small gift. I hope you'll accept it."
When the gift box was opened, the first thing they saw was a jade ruyi. Even the two elders, accustomed to all sorts of fine things, couldn't help but gasp. Carved from a single piece of Hetian jade, the ruyi was exquisitely crafted, a true gem. It must have been an old item from a wealthy family.
The other two were black lacquer boxes with gilded lotus patterns. They held two jade chess pieces, one in green jade and the other in white jade. The jade was delicate and warm to the touch.
"You're spending too much," said Old Man Yu. Both of these items were priceless. The most important thing was the thought. He had quite a collection of chess sets, and he was just missing a set like this.
"It's not expensive. These were bought by my maternal grandfather some time ago. They were worthless back then. I'm young and don't know how to appreciate them. They'd just be gathering dust at home, so giving them to you two keeps them from gathering dust."
"Tsk, such a slick talk!" Yu Chi curled his lips.
Xia Yang breathed a sigh of relief as he watched his grandfather's expression visibly relax. As expected, he was short-changed. Xia Yang secretly pinched Yu Chi to shut him up.
Grandma didn't have anything special, she just kept staring at Fu Xiuyan and smiling, with the corners of her mouth never falling.
The initial awkwardness was broken, and grandma started to talk more: "Mr. Fu, isn't your meeting gift a bit too much? People don't give betrothal gifts like this."
Yu Chi choked on the water.
Fu Xiuyan was rarely at a loss.
Only Xia Yang remained calm and composed. "Oh, this is the betrothal gift." Everyone in the room looked at him. Xia Yang added calmly, "And half of Wangjiang Pavilion's shares are also his betrothal gift. They're already in my name."
The old couple looked at each other.
