Lan Family Villa.
Sitting on the sofa was a middle - aged man with a slicked - back hairstyle and well - dressed.
Judging from his face, he was estimated to be around forty years old.
However, his receding hairline, in an invisible way, added a bit of mystery to his age. The suit buttons on his belly were rather tight, as if they were about to break free from the suit at any moment.
Looking at the middle - aged man, Lan Yihe frowned slightly. For a moment, he didn't know how to position himself.
It wasn't appropriate to treat him as an equal. After all, this guy was here for a marriage alliance with their Lan family. According to seniority, he was Lan Yihe's nephew.
But if he really treated him as a junior, this guy seemed to be older than him.
This middle - aged man was quite sensible. He said with a smiling face, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Gu Hongda. Gu Hongyun, the eldest young master of the Gu family, is my younger cousin."
"Oh! So you're the elder cousin of Young Master Gu Hongyun! I've long heard of you!"
Lan Yihe said quickly.
Gu Hongyun was well - known, and of course, Lan Yihe had heard of him. But what does it have to do with you!
Old Lady Lan frowned. Although Lan Ruoxi wasn't very likable, the man in front of her was too old. He was fat, bald, and greasy. She really didn't want to look at him a second time.
After a few minutes of awkward chatting between the two.
Lan Yihe's smile became even broader.
The Gu family was a large and wealthy family. Even a single hair from their leg would be astonishingly thick.
Therefore, Gu Hongda's demeanor was rather arrogant. He was rather indifferent to Lan Yihe's enthusiasm.
Ding - dong!
The doorbell rang.
"Here they come!"
Lan Yihe curled the corner of his mouth into a smile and said happily.
It must be his niece, bringing her hooligan boyfriend!
This time, he would let that kid know!
In front of a real wealthy family, his little skills were nothing!
So what if he could fight?
If you're brave enough, break my other back molar too!
"Hey, fatty!"
An Yi waved his hand and said in a slovenly way.
Lan Yihe:
Anyway, he was Lan Ruoxi's second uncle, but this kid was so rude!
Lan Ruoxi gave him a casual glance but didn't even say hello.
Lan Yihe suppressed his anger and said, "Come in, please."
"Ruoxi is here. And this must be Xiao Yi. He is really handsome."
Old Lady Lan saw Lan Ruoxi and An Yi and greeted them with a beaming smile.
It had to be said that when people were compared, the difference was obvious.
Compared with the young and handsome An Yi, the Mediterranean - haired uncle from the Gu family looked extremely greasy.
The graceful and handsome young man standing beside Lan Ruoxi was a perfect match, like a golden boy and a jade girl. At least it was pleasing to the eye!
"Oh, this must be Miss Lan from the Lan family. She is really as beautiful as the rumors say."
Gu Hongda's face was excited, and his eyes were shining with a green light.
He had only heard before that the Lan family's girl had grown up to be beautiful. Originally, he had disliked the Lan family because of their small family business that was in debt. He thought they were trying to climb up the social ladder.
But now, it seemed that helping them pay off two million in debt and marrying this beautiful girl was definitely a profitable deal!
As for An Yi behind Lan Ruoxi, he was simply ignored.
He was just a hooligan. What good was it to be good - looking? Gu Hongda didn't take him seriously at all.
Just thinking that such a beautiful girl had been with this kid made him feel a little uncomfortable.
However, at his age, it didn't matter if his partner had been divorced or had a child.
If you want to have a good life, you've got to have a little green on your head.
An Yi glanced at Gu Hongda and asked casually, "Who is this?"
"The eldest young master of the Gu family, Gu Hongda!"
Lan Yihe introduced him straightforwardly.
An Yi felt that the name sounded familiar and couldn't help asking in confusion, "What's your relationship with Gu Hongyun?"
Hearing An Yi asking about Gu Hongyun, Gu Hongda straightened his collar, looking rather energetic.
He said with great pride and a powerful voice, "I'm not being modest. Gu Hongyun is my younger cousin."
An Yi's eyebrows twitched wildly.
Cousin?
Damn it!
I thought you were someone important! Then what are you so proud of!
Lan Ruoxi still sat quietly beside An Yi, saying nothing.
Gu Hongda looked at Lan Ruoxi's pure and lovely appearance and became more and more satisfied.
He took out a small box from his pocket and suddenly raised his voice a few decibels. "This is a little gift I've found for Miss Lan on our first meeting."
Before Lan Ruoxi could say a word, Lan Yihe stepped forward obsequiously and said in surprise, "I wonder what gift Young Master Gu has brought for Ruoxi?"
Gu Hongda showed a mysterious smile and invited with an outstretched hand, "Open it and you'll know!"
Seeing Gu Hongda's pretentious look, even An Yi was a little curious.
Lan Yihe carefully opened the box.
Suddenly, An Yi's eyes changed.
It was actually...
Oh my god!!!
The fat on Lan Yihe's face trembled with excitement, and his face showed shock.
Not only Lan Yihe, but even Lan Ruoxi was surprised.
Inside the box was a small golden bottle inlaid with several diamond chips, extremely delicate.
Lan Yihe tried to hold back his excitement and shrieked, "It's actually the supreme - grade Yuyan Liquid! This single bottle is worth a million! Young Master Gu is really generous!"
That's right!
The gift Gu Hongda gave was the supreme - grade Yuyan Liquid!
Hearing that this small bottle was actually worth a million.
For a moment, even Old Lady Lan was shocked. Her wrinkled face was flushed, and her whole body was trembling.
A gift worth a million!
She had lived for more than seventy years and had never seen such a thing!
Sure enough, the Gu family, a wealthy family, really knew how to make a grand gesture!
Instantly, her look at Gu Hongda became kind and gentle. Even his half - bald receding hairline seemed to exude a kind of unrestrained charm.
Their Lan family had really attached themselves to a wealthy family!
Lan Ruoxi glanced at An Yi, and there was a hint of a smile in her eyes. She almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
An Yi was also quite helpless and rolled his eyes.
You could have given something else! But Yuyan Liquid?
Lan Yihe rubbed his hands excitedly and said with a smile, "This isn't appropriate. After all, the gift is so precious. We're not worthy of it."
"A mere million - dollar Yuyan Liquid. After all, it's my first time visiting. I didn't know what to give."
Gu Hongda crossed his legs and waved his hand casually. "Unexpectedly, Uncle Lan has good eyesight and recognized it at a glance."
"I've never heard of the recently popular Yuyan Liquid. It's said to not only whiten and beautify the skin but also have the effect of reversing aging.
My wife has been pestering me to buy her a sixty - thousand - yuan small red bottle. But this million - dollar small golden bottle, it's the first time I've seen it. Just look at the packaging. It's really extraordinary!"
Lan Yihe's chubby face was full of joy. He looked at Gu Hongda with an admiring look and said, "Brother Da, don't call me Uncle. It makes my legs weak."
Gu Hongda waved his hand and said, "It's okay. From now on, I'll call you Uncle, and you call me Brother Da. We'll address each other according to our own ways."
Lan Yihe said embarrassedly, "It's just that this thing is too precious. I'm really unworthy of it."
Hearing this, Gu Hongda became a bit complacent. He looked at An Yi with pride and provocation in his eyes.
He had given a gift worth a million.
You poor loser!
What can you compete with me with?
