Lei Xiaoluo stayed at the police station for almost a day. When he drove out of the gate in Wu Zhichao's car, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon.
"Uncle Wu, stop at the supermarket in front." Lei Xiaoluo suggested.
"Why are you going to the supermarket?" Wu Zhichao asked casually.
"Buy some gifts. Aren't you going to meet your future father-in-law and mother-in-law? How can you do this with nothing?" Lei Xiaoluo chuckled.
Because of Sun Yiwen's death, Wu Zhichao completely forgot about Lei Xiaoluo's visit to his home in the evening.
"My father-in-law..." Wu Zhichao finally came to his senses. He laughed and scolded: "You guy. When our family Sisi comes back, it's still a matter of debate whether I will recognize you as my boyfriend or not. It's so annoying for your kid. Uncle Wu has been thinking about it all day. I’m just trying to beat up the mandarin ducks.”
Lei Xiaoluo shrugged his shoulders and said ruthlessly: "You are my father-in-law. Even if you keep breaking up Sisi and me, you still can't run away. At worst, you and your aunt will give me another daughter. As a wife, I am not in a hurry. I can wait slowly."
"I'll kill you." Wu Zhichao snorted: "We don't lack anything at home. Just go over there. Why should we buy any gifts? It's cliche."
"That's not possible." Lei Xiaoluo said seriously: "You can't go empty-handed no matter what. Uncle, don't worry. I won't give you gifts. Don't be afraid of being accused of accepting bribes."
When Wu Zhichao heard this, he immediately became excited: "Boy, this is what you said. I will take you to the supermarket right now. There are not many things on sale. Be careful, uncle will not let you in."
Wu Si's mother, Xu Li, is a middle-aged woman with a very good temperament. Her eyebrows have a maturity beyond her peers.
"Young man, you are very energetic. No wonder you can deceive our family's Sisi's heart. Come in quickly. What gifts do you bring? Lao Wu, you are serious. Why do you let your children buy so many things? It's too expensive." Xu Li welcomed Lei Xiaoluo in with a warm look.
Wu Zhichao didn't take it seriously. He thought to himself that I had already paid for my precious daughter. Shouldn't I let this kid buy something?
"Auntie, you are so young. You don't look like Sisi's mother at all." Lei Xiaoluo complimented Xu Li. But he couldn't say that Xu Li looked like Wu Si's sister. Even if he did, he wouldn't say it. You may not believe it either.
Since you have to pay compliments, it's better to be kind than to flatter them too much.
"Haha. This kid is really good at talking." Xu Li said with wisdom and maturity beyond the average middle-aged woman. It is said that it was because Wu Zhichao was double-regulated two years ago. She ran around for him and experienced all kinds of ups and downs in the world. Her temperament developed accordingly. changing.
Xu Li has been in business, and it has been very successful. Since Wu Zhichao's last accident, she has sold out several popular chain stores and devoted herself to being a full-time housewife at home. In order not to hinder Wu Zhichao and not to give up to political opponents. opportunities for them to attack their husbands.
"There is another gift for you, auntie." Lei Xiaoluo smiled and took out the purple jewelry box.
If it had been anyone else, Xu Li would have rejected her righteously without even looking at her.
From the exquisiteness of the jewelry box, she could tell that the items inside were expensive. She couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Lei, what do you mean?"
"I went to Yunnan a few days ago. I was lucky enough to buy a good piece of jade." Lei Xiaoluo talked eloquently. "I asked a friend to process it into a gift and give it to my aunt."
"Just accept the child's heart." Wu Zhichao said from the side.
Xu Li took the jewelry box. When she opened it, her eyes widened. She exclaimed, "What a beautiful jadeite. This should be an emerald."
Wu Zhichao didn't take this piece of jewelry seriously at first, but when he heard the word emerald, he almost jumped up from the sofa.
"Haha. Auntie, you have a good eye." Lei Xiaoluo stood around to prevent Xu Li from refusing. He immediately said: "This is a very small part of that piece of jade. When Sisi comes back, I will also have a share."
Xu Li and Wu Zhichao looked at each other. After all, they had experienced big storms and were more cautious in their dealings.
"Xiao Lei, it's too expensive." Wu Zhichao shook his head and said.
"Compared with Sisi, it is nothing." Lei Xiaoluo said with a smile: "No matter how expensive this pair of earrings is, it still has a price. But Sisi is a priceless treasure. I take valuable things. Exchange your priceless treasures with uncle and aunt. Speaking of which, I still made a profit. What do you think, aunt?"
Xu Li nodded and said: "What Xiaolei said makes sense. Auntie accepted it. It is regarded as your betrothal gift to our Wu family. Haha."
Wu Zhichao still felt a little inappropriate, but Xu Li gave him several winks in succession, and he finally nodded.
Haha. Betrothal gift. My brother likes this word.
Lei Xiaoluo couldn't help but have a naughty smile on his face. He was thinking about it. Your mother has sold you to our Lei family. Just be obedient and prepare to be the wife of our old Lei family. Hahaha.
Xu Li solemnly put the earrings into the jewelry box. Earrings are different from necklaces that can be hidden in clothes. After all, these two pieces of imperial emeralds are priceless. If you really wear them on your ears, they will probably be there soon. This caused the disciplinary inspection department to become suspicious of Wu Zhichao.
Xu Li cooks by herself. She used to be the owner of several restaurants, so her skills are naturally second to none.
Lei Xiaoluo originally wanted to stay in the kitchen to help, but Xu Li "invited" him out. He had no choice but to play chess with Wu Zhichao to pass the time.
Without much effort, several delicious dishes were served on the table. Wu Zhichao, who had been abstaining from alcohol for three years, even brought out two bottles of good wine that he had collected for many years. He insisted on getting drunk with his future son-in-law.
"By the way, Xiao Lei. I'm helping you get a house." Wu Zhichao, who was already slightly drunk, said.
"House. What house?" Lei Xiaoluo didn't know why.
Wu Zhichao put down his wine glass and said: "Last time we handled the Ma Hongbo fraud case, didn't the police show their attitude and want to compensate you? Now that I am the acting chief of the Huacheng Police Station, this matter naturally falls on me. My uncle has said hello to the municipal party committee and the provincial department. There are a number of fund-raising houses on the lakeside with beautiful scenery. I will get one for you."
"Beautiful view of the lake shore." Lei Xiaoluo felt that the name sounded familiar. He immediately thought that it was a villa area. It was located in the best location of the Flower City. He had heard of it for a while because of its fund-raising nature. Later, he thought it was a villa area. Construction has restarted. Although it is claimed to be commercial housing, it is actually a public housing. And it is said that the owners are all prominent figures in Huacheng.
"Yeah. It's very close to Huada. If you want to live on campus, you can live on campus. If you don't want to live on campus, you can live at home." Wu Zhichao thought very carefully.
"Hehe. That means Sisi can live together, right?" Lei Xiaoluo asked, blinking.
Wu Zhichao suddenly had a dark look on his face. Damn, why did I forget that there is Sisi? This is an opportunity for him to live with Sisi. What a mistake.
