Chapter 162
Chi Yu drove directly to the place, although it was nearby, but because he was bringing quite a lot of things. As soon as the car arrived, Song Luokui, who had been paying attention to the outside, immediately saw him. She immediately ran to the door and when she saw Chi Yu getting out of the car, she ran out, "You're here."
On the other side, Sheng Rong also walked out of the entrance and looked over. Chi Yu did not dare to touch her in front of the elders, so he first went to the trunk to take out the gifts.
Song Luokui immediately offered to help, but Chi Yu said, "No need for you, you go inside first, it's cold outside, I can manage myself."
On the other side, Sheng Rong urged Song Luosheng, "Sheng, go help him."
Of course, Song Luosheng did not want to go. He was not happy that Chi Yu had come to give New Year's gifts, but he had no choice since everyone else in the family did not object, and seeing that Song Luokui had already gone to help, he had to reluctantly go over.
Aunt Gui and Uncle Kang also went to help bring the things inside. Chi Yu placed the items in the living room of the Song family's home, and as Song Luokui's family members stood there, he greeted them, "Auntie Sheng, Uncle Song, and also grandparents and great-grandparents, hello. I am Chi Yu, Kuikui's boyfriend. I've brought some gifts today as an early New Year's greeting for you."
Sheng Rong said politely, "How thoughtful of you, please have a seat."
Song Luokui immediately pulled him to sit beside her, while on the other side, Song Luosheng snorted but didn't say anything else, nor did he dare to, since the elders were present and he couldn't appear too impolite.
Sheng Rong first asked about Chi Yu's parents, and he answered accordingly. On the side, the four elders also scrutinized him. Chi Yu appeared calm on the surface, but inside he was quite nervous, sitting upright with his back straight.
Grandfather Song Ruhui asked, "Little Yu, what kind of work do you do?"
Chi Yu: "I've started a company that invests in various things, but the main business is research and development of technology products, some domestic project investments, and some overseas heavy metal investments and the like." In fact, he was involved in a lot, but he only mentioned a little bit.
Song Luokui: "Similar to my brother's."
Song Luosheng cleared his throat and looked at Song Luokui, signaling her not to speak. Song Luokui pouted but didn't say anything further, only taking Chi Yu's hand, then realizing that his palm was a bit sweaty.
It was then that Song Luokui noticed his nervousness. The usually arrogant and assertive Chi Yu was actually getting sweaty palms because of her. Thinking of this, she wiped his palm to comfort him.
Chi Yu gripped her hand tightly while answering the questions from the grandparents and great-grandparents.
"How about a game of chess with me?" Song Ruhui said.
Chi Yu stood up, "Yes."
Song Luokui immediately wanted to follow, but Sheng Rong held her back. After that, she could only watch as Chi Yu was surrounded by the men in the family, observing him play chess with Grandfather.
Meanwhile, she was on the couch, entertaining Grandmother and Great-Grandmother.
The two asked her how Chi Yu treated her, when the two had met, and also inquired about Chi Yu's background.
Grandmother Lin Xianyuan and Great-Grandmother Jun Lin knew about Chi Yu's family background. If the two were to end up together, it would likely become a matter for the two families.
"If you really stay with him, you may have to take on greater responsibilities in the future. You won't be able to be so willful anymore."
Song Luokui: "I know. Grandma, Great-Grandma, I've grown up. I'm not afraid. You don't know, but I'm already managing a company now."
"Oh?" The two were quite surprised. "Our Kuikui is managing a company now?"
Song Luokui told them about the entertainment company, "Although it's still small, and maybe you think it's just a hobby, but I'll make it bigger and stronger."
Grandmother Lin Xianyuan lovingly hugged her, "We only hope that you can always be happy. If you get bullied in the future and don't want to live with him anymore, I'm afraid it won't be easy to handle then."
The Chi family was too special in their status and had too many rules. Although the Song family was also of high status and authority, they didn't have as many rules, and they were also simpler people. They were afraid that with the Chi family's many rules and people, their pampered Kuikui might not be able to handle it.
However, Sheng Rong was not too worried, "Mom, you don't have to worry. Kuikui knows her limits. From a young age, she has never caused us any concerns."
"That boy Chi Yu seems to treat Kuikui well too. Don't worry. Besides, there's me and Moqian. If we can't handle it, aren't there still you two?"
Lin Xianyuan nodded, "You're right. We're not afraid either."
On the other side, Jun Lin said, "Kuikui, as long as you're happy, Great-Grandma supports you."
Song Luokui happily hugged her, "Thank you, Great-Grandma, and of course, Grandma too."
The atmosphere was good on this side, but on the other side, it was as if they were on a battlefield. Chi Yu was playing chess with Grandfather Song Ruhui while also having to answer questions from the four men.
Questions about family circumstances, how to ensure their daughter/granddaughter/sister's future well-being, and whether he had thought about the future, and so on.
Just ordinary questions, but Chi Yu answered them very carefully, afraid that if they were unsatisfied, they wouldn't allow him to be with Kuikui.
One game of chess took an hour, and Chi Yu felt that this was more tiring than his business battles overseas.
Until Sheng Rong came over, "Alright, are you done? It's time for dinner." Then she looked at Chi Yu, "Little Yu, you stay for dinner too."
Chi Yu immediately stood up, "Yes, Auntie."
Song Ruhui placed a chess piece, "Alright, let's leave it at that. Time for dinner." Being able to play with him for that long, and even letting him have an advantage, this young man was quite capable.
The table was a large round one. Chi Yu sat beside Song Luokui, with Song Luosheng on Song Luokui's other side. Next to Chi Yu was Sheng Rong, then Song Moqian, followed by the grandparents and great-grandparents.
The elders took food first, then Song Luokui and the others picked up their chopsticks to eat. In the middle of the meal, Chi Yu served Song Luokui a piece of chicken meat, just like before. Of course, others saw it, but no one said anything. Song Luosheng snorted and served Song Luokui a chicken leg, "Kuikui, eat more. You've lost weight recently."
Song Luokui looked down at her body with a frown. She had lost weight? She felt she had gained weight recently.
Chi Yu moved his mouth but ultimately didn't say anything. He had wanted to say that she wasn't fat or thin, but just right, but he was afraid her family would think he was being flirtatious, so he didn't dare say anything.
Sheng Rong indeed told Chi Yu not to feel restrained and to eat more. Hearing what her mother said, Song Luokui quickly put a piece of meat on his plate and winked at him. The corners of Chi Yu's mouth curved up slightly.
Chi Yu ate two bowls of rice straightaway, not daring to stop. After finishing, he felt a bit stuffed but didn't dare say so.
After the meal, Sheng Rong said, "The New Year is coming soon. You two should check if your rooms are cleaned and organized."
Song Luokui immediately took Chi Yu upstairs, saying, "Let me take a look and have Chi Yu help me." With that, she went upstairs.
Song Luosheng was about to follow them, but Sheng Rong gave him a look, "Luosheng, you need to organize your own room too."
Song Luosheng paused and mumbled, "I know."
