Half an hour later, Tang Bin arrived at the entrance of the Swan Apartment.
This was his first time visiting Li Jingjing's home, and he felt an overwhelming sense of unease. Jingjing had already made it clear to him that her parents wanted to meet him, and anyone could understand why. Tang Bin desperately wanted to tell her he wasn't going, that he had no intention of becoming Li's son-in-law, but seeing the expectant look in Li Jingjing's eyes, he couldn't bring himself to say it. He even fantasized about how he could slip through the cracks later, so he wouldn't have to explain his stance to Li Jingjing, and she wouldn't be hurt.
But reason told him that it would be best to tell her immediately that he already had a woman he loved and was thinking of marrying her!
But... that person is his sister-in-law, how could he possibly tell her?
Tang Bin was well aware of the property prices at the Swan Apartments; everyone living there was either extremely wealthy or powerful. He also knew that Li Jingjing's family background was extraordinary, though he didn't know the specifics. As he walked, a sudden thought struck him: surely Li Jingjing's parents wouldn't approve of a poor guy like himself. He could simply be honest and describe his situation as shabby, and her parents would reject him outright without him even needing to explain. That way, he wouldn't have to explain himself to her, and everything would be resolved naturally!
In that instant, the guy became more relaxed and followed Li Jingjing inside, chatting and laughing.
Meanwhile, the Li family...
Li Jingjing's parents, Li De and Hu Aiying, had been waiting at home for a long time. They had put a lot of effort into seeing Tang Bin, their son-in-law, who was not even a proper son-in-law.
Hu Aiying prepared a table of delicacies early in the morning, and Li De even returned home before five o'clock, which was unprecedented for him, all for his precious daughter!
Seeing her daughter about to bring the man she liked into the house, Hu Aiying was even more excited than Li Jingjing. She looked down at her clothes, then ran into the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror again and again. After coming out, she asked her husband, "How is it? How is it? Am I okay?"
Li De sat calmly on the sofa, smiled and said, "It's your daughter finding a boyfriend, why are you acting like you're going on a blind date? He should be the one who's nervous right now, why are you so nervous?"
"My daughter is looking for a boyfriend, but I'm looking for a son-in-law! Hey, don't tell me you don't care. Jingjing is your daughter. If she marries the wrong person, I bet you'll be more anxious than anyone else!"
"That's why I came back early to help my daughter vet the boy. Don't worry, with me here, that kid definitely won't escape your husband's sharp eyes."
As the two were talking, Li Jingjing led Tang Bin into the room. Seeing her parents in the living room, she skipped over and called out "Mom and Dad!" She then affectionately took their arms and introduced Tang Bin: "Dad, Mom, this is... Tang Bin!"
Then, she looked at Tang Bin and said, "Tang Tang, this is my dad, and this is my mom. Don't they look like a couple?"
Tang Bin smiled noncommittally and respectfully greeted, "Uncle, Aunt, hello!"
He had just decided that he didn't care about anything since he wasn't really going to be the Li family's son-in-law, but when he actually saw Li Jingjing's parents, he still couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Tang Bin made a pretty good first impression on Li's parents. After all, he was 1.8 meters tall, had a dignified appearance, and dressed appropriately. Moreover, he had been tempered by life and did not look as naive as a recent graduate. He had a slightly weathered look, which was not only attractive to young girls but also to the older generation. In their eyes, this was a sign of maturity.
Hu Aiying stared at Tang Bin for a long time, growing more and more fond of him with each glance, until Li De tugged at her from behind, bringing her back to her senses. She thought to herself, "No wonder my daughter has had a crush on this Tang Tang for three years and still refuses to let go. This young man is indeed handsome and dashing... well, dashing, but not dashing!"
Tang Bin placed the gift box that Li Jingjing had given him on the ground, and after a few polite exchanges, the group took their seats.
Li De had a hobby of enjoying a little wine, and his favorite idol was the poet Li Bai.
However, he wasn't a good drinker and would get drunk after just a few drinks. So he also agreed with the saying that people speak the truth when they're drunk, because once he got drunk, he would spill everything. His wife, Hu Aiying, often used this trick to interrogate him, and it always worked.
Most importantly, Hu Aiying frequently used the method of getting people drunk to obtain real information, to the point that she herself was convinced of it.
Now things were really complicated. The Li couple kept urging Tang Bin to drink at the dinner table, one glass after another. Tang Bin naturally accepted every toast, but the Li parents couldn't just keep urging him to drink without him doing so. After a series of toasts, Li De was the first to get drunk, repeatedly saying, "Good, I approve of this son-in-law." Tang Bin's heart skipped a beat, but he could only pretend to be oblivious. Not long after, even Hu Aiying passed out, hooking her arm around his shoulder and calling him her good son-in-law…
This grand spectacle of inspecting the son-in-law came to an end, but it was completely different from what Tang Bin had imagined. He had drunk his fill and hadn't even said a word before it all passed by in a daze! This completely ruined his planned way of refusing the offer. What should he do next?
Looking at Li Jingjing, seeing her parents calling Tang Bin "son-in-law" so affectionately, she was beaming with joy. She hadn't expected to overcome what she thought would be a difficult hurdle so easily. Now, she could naturally become Tang Tang's girlfriend...
With Li Jingjing's parents both falling ill, the dinner party came to an end.
After leaving the Li family home, Li Jingjing walked side by side with Tang Bin, secretly glanced at him, and mustered up her courage to reach out and hold his right hand.
Tang Bin was taken aback, his hands remaining expressionless, but his heart was in turmoil.
Li Jingjing held his hand tightly, her heart pounding with excitement. Seeing his silence, she assumed he had agreed. After walking for a while, she softly asked him, "Tangtang, what do you think of my parents?"
"It's nice, very warm!" Tang Bin replied casually, holding her soft hand in his, but his heart was in turmoil, wanting to hold her but not daring to... In the end, he couldn't bear it any longer. He felt that if he continued like this, he would become a con artist in love. So he made up his mind, turned around and said, "Jingjing, I... have something I want to tell you."
Li Jingjing thought Tang Bin was about to formally confess his feelings to her, and her heart pounded with happiness.
“Jingjing, I know you’ve always been good to me. It’s been three years, and I’ve seen it all. I’m really touched…”
Li Jingjing smiled when she heard this, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart.
"But...we really can't be together!" Tang Bin said with all his might.
What?
Li Jingjing was stunned. The feeling of happiness she had just experienced, like she was about to fly, instantly turned into a sharp fall from the sky. Her heart clenched into a knot: "Why...why? Why can't we...be together?"
