After hanging up the phone, Li Shu returned to the private room, having already made up her mind.
She said sowhat shyly to Mrs. Zhou Ruolan, "Thank you very much for your trust, Chairman Zhou, but it might be a bit early to discuss the wedding. I haven't even told my family yet."
Zhou Lan raised an eyebrow from the side - was this her way of saying yes?
Mrs. Zhou Ruolan smiled and said, "Of course, properly speaking, I should visit your parents first. When would they be available? Also, from now on, there's no need to be so formal by calling Chairman Zhou - just call Aunt Zhou."
Li Shu: "...Aunt Zhou."
Well, as expected of a Global Fortune 500 company's chairwoman - such efficiency! Already wanting to visit her parents?
While she admired this, if they really did visit, wouldn't it frighten her parents?
So she quickly thought of a solution, "You're too kind, Aunt Zhou. It's just that my ho is quite far away. However, I'm having my graduation ceremony in a few days and plan to invite my parents to visit. If it's convenient for you, perhaps we could all have dinner together then."
"Of course that would be convenient. Please let know when they arrive."
Mrs. Zhou Ruolan agreed very promptly.
Li Shu nodded, already planning to call her family later.
However, before she could make the call, just after returning to her small apartnt from dinner, her parents called first.
"Shu dear, we just heard from Aunt Zhang that you're dating soone over there, and he might be a scamr? What's going on?"
Her parents sounded very worried.
Li Shu remained calm, "Aunt Zhang must have been frightened. I'm not dating any scamr. It's my boss, and he's quite nice. You know about Huarui dia, right? It's just that Aunt Zhang doesn't believe my boss is wealthy."
However, her parents were still very surprised, "What's going on? You're dating your boss? Is this real?"
Li Shu replied directly, "Of course it's real. Why would I lie to you about this? By the way, I have my graduation ceremony in a few days. Would you like to co and witness it, and et my boss and his mother?"
Although their family wasn't as wealthy as Zhou Lan's, they could certainly afford plane tickets.
However, after hearing this, her parents couldn't even wait a few days. They bought plane tickets right after hanging up and arrived in her city the next afternoon.
Li Shu: "..."
Apparently, it wasn't just Chairwoman Zhou Ruolan who was efficient - her parents were too.
While she was certainly happy to see her parents, Zhou Lan was even more eager than her upon hearing the news. He imdiately arranged a dinner and notified his mother, Mrs. Zhou Ruolan.
Thus, on the first evening of Li Shu's parents' arrival in City S, they t one of the main purposes of their visit - their daughter's boyfriend Zhou Lan, who was rumored to be worth billions.
They also t his mother, Mrs. Zhou Ruolan, who was reportedly China's wealthiest businesswoman.
To their surprise, both mother and son were very humble, polite, and cultured.
Zhou Lan was practically flawless in his presentation. Mrs. Zhou Ruolan was also very sincere, taking the initiative to tell them, "As a mother, I can see that Zhou Lan truly cares for Li Shu, and I'm very fond of her too. Of course, we are a single-parent family, which is my regret. I've always tried my best to guide him to develop a good character, and I hope you won't discriminate against him for this."
These words were sowhat heartbreaking, and Li Shu's parents quickly responded, "You're too modest, Chairman Zhou. We don't care whether it's a single-parent or two-parent family, as long as the young people are sincere in their relationship."
Ever since receiving Aunt Zhang's call, the couple had been very anxious, but now after eting them in person, they could finally relax.
Huh, that Aunt Zhang - she must have really looked down on their daughter to insist that Li Shu had t a scamr.
A few days after their pleasant first eting, it was ti for Li Shu's graduation ceremony.
Li Shu was very happy that her parents could attend in person. To her surprise, Zhou Lan also brought his mother, Mrs. Zhou Ruolan, to join her group of family and friends.
Although they tried to keep a low profile, they still caused quite a stir.
Her classmates gathered around to ask, "Are those two in your family group the chairwoman and CEO of Huarui dia?"
Li Shu coughed slightly, "Yes, that's them."
Everyone showed surprised expressions. Who would have thought that the forrly most reclusive girl in class would have such prestigious guests at her graduation?
Soone carefully asked, "That online rumor about... the young master Zhou's girlfriend, was that you?"
Li Shu coughed again, "Yes, it was."
"Ahhhh..."
Screams erupted from the crowd. All the girls were excited, especially her three closest dormitory roommates, who grabbed her hands and jumped excitedly, "Shu, Shu, Shu, you're amazing! When are you having your wedding? You must invite us!!!"
Before Li Shu could respond, a voice suddenly ca from behind, "No problem, we'll definitely send you all invitations when the ti cos."
As the voice finished, Zhou Lan appeared before them.
The crowd held their breath for a mont before erupting again.
"Ahhhh, they're really getting married!!! Our Shu is marrying into a wealthy family!!!"
...
Li Shu pulled Zhou Lan aside and asked with a red face, "What are you doing? They were just joking."
Unexpectedly, Zhou Lan looked serious, "I wasn't joking. They can all co if they want to."
Li Shu coughed, "...I only just agreed to date you, who said anything about marriage..."
Zhou Lan looked very serious, "Any relationship not aid at marriage is just playing around."
Li Shu: "..."
Well, now it seed like she was the one playing around.
Her face felt hot, and her classmates were still teasing them. She quickly pulled him away, "Let's go take photos. Your photography skills must be pretty good, right?"
Zhou Lan made a sound of agreent, "I won so photography awards back in school..."
