Chapter 215 - Inferiority Complex

As the middle-aged couple left, the onlookers gradually dispersed.

And everyone in the village knew.

The two sisters from the old Chu family were about to take off!

Whoever can casually take out two million must have a significant identity, right?!

"What's wrong? Are you a bit unhappy?"

Mu An affectionately ruffled his treasure girl's hair.

"No..."

Chu Youmeng slightly shook her head, her pretty face slightly flushed.

Mainly, this kind of intimate behavior being seen by her sister and grandmother made her feel a bit shy inside.

[Afraid of being laughed at by your sister and grandmother, the girl feels a bit shy, emotional fluctuation +20, congratulations, you have received the reward [Cultivation Years +3 years]!]

Mu An smiled and pinched her tender little face.

Shy? That's just right!

If she didn't feel shy, how would he trigger the girl's emotional rewards?

"I... I'll go inside with Youwei to tidy up the house first!"

Chu Youmeng, soft by nature, couldn't resist her shyness and hurriedly pulled her sister into the house.

The houses in the countryside were mostly made of mud.

Chu Youmeng's home was no exception, shabby and filled with the rustic style of the previous era.

If she didn't tidy up properly, she might feel embarrassed to host Mu An.

Outside, only Mu An and the grandmother remained.

Mu An wasn't shy at all and greeted Chu Youmeng's grandmother warmly.

He hadn't forgotten that not long ago, this seventy-year-old lady had stood in front of him without hesitation to protect her granddaughters!

No matter how you looked at it, she was a respected elder!

Much better than those two scoundrel parents!

"Grandma, hello! I'm Youmeng's boyfriend, Mu An!"

"You can call me Xiao Mu or Xiao An, either is fine!"

Mu An flashed a bright, sunny smile.

"Which family's boy are you, and why are you in my house?"

The grandmother asked sternly, gripping the broom tightly.

"..."

"I'm your granddaughter Youmeng's boyfriend! This year, I came back with her to celebrate the New Year!"

Mu An explained, bracing himself.

He suddenly realized, could it be that the grandmother's dementia was acting up?

"Youmeng? You know my granddaughter Youmeng?"

"What's your name again?"

The grandmother showed a suspicious expression, seeming a bit incredulous.

The broom in her hand remained firmly gripped!

"Mu An."

Mu An answered honestly.

"Mu what?"

"Mu An!"

"What An?"

"Mu An!"

"An what Mu?"

"..."

After a series of questions from the grandmother, Mu An was almost left speechless.

Even if Ma Somei came, she would probably say: this is a high-level match!

"Grandma, Mu An is indeed my boyfriend! He's really a good person! Don't bully him!"

At a critical moment, it was still Chu Youmeng who came to the rescue.

Mu An was almost moved to tears.

If he continued to be questioned by the grandmother, he would probably be thinking about those questions all night!

"Oh, so you are Youmeng's boyfriend!"

"Sorry, I'm old and my memory isn't very good!"

The grandmother smiled and put down the broom, then walked slowly into the house with her hands behind her back, supported by Chu Youmeng.

Chu Youmeng turned back and gave Mu An an apologetic glance.

Mu An waved his hand dismissively.

Once inside, there was very little furniture.

The wooden beams overhead clearly showed their age.

Unlike the various decorations in city houses, the only things that could be considered decorations here were probably the dried chili peppers and corn hanging on the wall!

"Brother-in-law, have some water!"

Sister Chu Youwei brought a bowl of boiled water and placed it on a shabby little table in front of Mu An, her delicate nose slightly wrinkled in nervousness as she timidly spoke to him.

That timid look was just like a mold of Chu Youmeng!

"What did you call me?"

"Brother-in-law..."

Chu Youwei was a bit anxious and uneasy, unsure if she had said something wrong.

[From the girl's nervous emotional fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +2000]!]

"I love that title, feel free to call me that more often!"

Mu An said with a smile.

"..."

"Okay, brother-in-law!"

Chu Youwei quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

With this joke, it seemed that their relationship had unknowingly drawn much closer.

It looked like brother-in-law wasn't that hard to get along with...

The girl murmured in her heart, her mood no longer so tense.

"Why don't you come with me to the car to get some things?"

"When we came, we specifically bought a lot of New Year goods in town! Now is just the right time to bring them in!"

Mu An suggested.

After being interrupted by that middle-aged couple, he almost forgot about this!

The trunk of the car not only had some New Year goods but also plenty of meat, vegetables, and seafood.

After all, it was his first time visiting the parents, and some gifts should be prepared!

"This..."

Chu Youwei instinctively hesitated a bit.

"Youwei, go with Mu An to get it! I'll tidy up the house a bit more, and then I can cook!"

At this moment, Chu Youmeng, who was inside the house, poked her head out from the kitchen, wearing a gentle smile like the wind.

It was unclear if it was Mu An's illusion, but he felt that the girl seemed much happier after returning home!

"Mm!"

Chu Youwei nodded and stood up.

Her clear and bright eyes looked at Mu An somewhat shyly, and her small hands nervously tugged at the hem of her clothes.

"I... I'm going to change into another outfit!"

"What do you need to change for? We're just going to the car to grab a few things, and we'll be back soon!"

Mu An was a bit confused.

"Well, okay then!"

Seeing Mu An say this, Chu Youwei no longer insisted and followed him out the door step by step.

She didn't even know what she was thinking just now; she had unconsciously blurted that out.

In her worldview, people who could afford a car were wealthy.

And she was just a poor little ugly duckling; she usually didn't dare to get close to those big cars.

She was afraid of breaking them!

If she broke one, she would have to pay a lot of money, right?!

She knew her family's situation was very bad.

So, she couldn't cause trouble for her grandmother and sister!

[Due to the influence of her original family, the girl has a strong sense of inferiority, emotional fluctuation +19, congratulations, you have received the reward [100 Sets of Various Clothes and Skirts That Young Girls Like]!]

Mu An understood a bit more and felt even more pity for Chu Youwei.

Biu biu~~

With the sound of the car door locking, the trunk door opened automatically.

The girl seemed to be shocked as if she had discovered a new world.

This was the first time she had seen such a magically functional car with her own eyes!

Previously, she had only seen it in books!

"This car... must be very expensive, right?"

Chu Youwei bit her lip and asked cautiously.

"Not worth much!"

Fearing that the actual price would scare this sensitive girl, Mu An didn't reveal too much.

But Chu Youwei knew in her heart.

Not long ago, she had vaguely heard the villagers say that this car seemed to be worth several million?!

Oh my, that's several million yuan!

If she had that much money, she wouldn't even know how to spend it all!

"Here, these are some cucumbers, eggplants, and other vegetables! This is seafood like oysters, shrimp, and king crab!"

"And over here are pork, lamb, and beef! Plus, some snacks like raisins for the New Year!"

"Take a look at what you can carry and take it inside!"

Mu An cheerfully introduced the so-called New Year goods.

Looking at the trunk, which was as rich as a miniature supermarket, Chu Youwei felt deeply shocked!

Even after carrying these expensive ingredients into the house, her little head still felt dizzy.

How much money does her brother-in-law have?!

[From Chu Youwei's shocked emotional fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +2000]!]

[From Chu Youwei's shocked emotional fluctuation +20, congratulations, you have received the reward [Cultivation years +3 years]!]
