Chapter 787 The in-laws meet
By the time Jiang Mubai had finished feeding Zhou Xiaoying and had packed up her things to take with her, Jiang An had also prepared the team that would appear.
After getting the news from Jiang An, Jiang Mubai brought Xiang Xiang and Zhou Xiaoying downstairs. There were three adults and a child in one car. Jiang An was not the driver today and someone else drove for him. However, in order to make Jiang Mubai and Xiang Xiang more comfortable, he came to the front and sat down on the passenger seat. Jiang Mubai, Zhou Xiaoying and Xiang Xiang were the only ones left in the back seat, which was indeed a lot more spacious.
In addition to the one car for them, Jiang An also arranged three cars in the front and back to protect their safety.
When the car was moving on the road, Jiang Mubai sent a message to Cheng Yunchuan about their departure. The Cheng family villa was almost ready, and after seeing the message from Jiang Mubai, they set off immediately.
Shen Siqi and Manman were planning to go together, but since this was the first time the two families met for dinner, it would seem too informal for them to go, so they all stayed at home.
Cheng Yunchuan and Cheng Xiangdi were closer to the restaurant, so naturally they arrived here earlier than Jiang Mubai and the others.
After confirming the time with Jiang Mubai, Cheng Yunchuan picked up the menu and handed it to Cheng Xiangdi to start ordering. Cheng Xiangdi flipped through the menu casually with his hands a few times and then closed it, preparing to let Cheng Yunchuan order.
"Are the things we prepared too little?"
Not only did Jiang An prepare a lot of things for Cheng Xiangdi, Cheng Xiangdi also prepared a lot for Jiang An.
"It's quite a bit. Anyway, these things are just the icing on the cake. Just the gems and Xiang Xiang's shares that you gave to Mu Bai are already quite a bit. Mu Bai is not an ignorant person. Mu Bai's father must know all the gifts you gave him."
"That's different. Those are for Mu Bai and Xiang Xiang, not for him."
"It's the same. Mu Bai and Xiang Xiang are his daughter and grandson respectively. You value his daughter and grandson so much. This will make him happier than giving the things directly to him. Besides, you know that the Jiang family has everything they need."
"Well, you're right. The Jiang family has everything and doesn't need our stuff. As long as what we do is acceptable, that's fine."
"By the way, I heard that Mu Bai's father also took out some of his company's shares and thought about it?"
"Well, how did you know this?"
"People are talking about it outside. It shows that Mu Bai's father really likes his grandson."
"Yeah, he only has one child, Mu Bai. How could he not love him so much? Let's think about it. He is such a blessed child. After all, so many people love him."
Hearing Cheng Yunchuan mention the child, Cheng Xiangdi couldn't help but ask, "When will Mu Bai and her father come?"
"It's almost time. Uncle, please wait a little longer. Don't worry. I will let you see the baby today anyway."
Cheng Yunchuan knew that Cheng Xiangdi was anxious to see the child, but since this matter could not be rushed, he could only try to calm the other party down.
This was the first time that Cheng Xiangdi and Jiang An had encountered such a situation. It was impossible for them to be nervous as this was not a big project. Besides, they had been in the business world for a long time and had seen many ups and downs. However, they had no experience in meeting with the in-laws.
Both of them were smart people and thought that as long as they didn't throw words on the ground and make the situation awkward, everything would be fine. Things really turned out to be just as Cheng Xiangdi and Jiang An had expected. The atmosphere between the two of them seemed to be very good. They didn't eat much but they talked a lot.
Finally, Jiang Mubai couldn't bear it any longer: "Dad and Uncle, you guys should eat first and then talk. It would be bad if the food gets cold. This restaurant is not only very private, but also has good food. Come and try it."
"Yes, we were both busy chatting. Mr. Cheng and Xiao Cheng must be hungry after waiting for so long. It's my fault for not thinking about this matter while we were chatting."
"No, Mr. Jiang and I hit it off right away, so we've been chatting until now without realizing it. We'll have a chance to meet again in the future, but the food here isn't something you can get anytime, anywhere. Since Mu Bai has advised us, let's just have dinner first."
"Yes, Mr. Cheng will stay in China for a while. I will definitely accompany you to visit these places."
"It's an honor to have President Jiang say this. We'll talk about this later. Let's eat first. If we don't eat, Mu Bai will probably regret for both of us not having tasted such delicious food."
Seeing Cheng Xiangdi talking about him, Jiang Mubai embarrassedly defended himself: "Uncle, no way, I saw you and dad were chatting all the time and I was worried that you would be hungry. We still have to go out in the afternoon. Didn't I see you picking up some food to eat? Don't you like the taste here? Do you want to go back to the villa and ask Wu You to give you a snack?"
"Then I'm being too ungrateful. Is uncle such a person in your heart?" Before Jiang Mubai could answer, Cheng Xiangdi immediately turned around and said to Jiang An, "Boss Jiang's daughter is really sharp-tongued."
"I don't worry about a child like this being bullied in the future."
"Yes, if we want to have a daughter, we have to have one like Mu Bai, so that we as parents will feel relieved."
"Okay, okay, you just said you wanted to eat instead of chat, but why are you talking about me again? I feel so embarrassed for you guys to do this. Let's eat quickly."
After hearing what Jiang Mubai said, Cheng Xiangdi and Jiang An smiled at each other and stopped chatting.
There were still things to do in the afternoon so no one drank at the dinner table. Jiang An heard Jiang Mubai mention Guo Xiangdi's activities in the afternoon, so he did not take the initiative to toast him.
The things the two brought were all in the car and they didn't take them down. After all, it would be too stupid to take down so many things and leave them there. So the two had to wait until after dinner to give the things to each other.
Everyone is resting at their seats after dinner. Thinking about it, Cheng Xiangdi is holding her in his arms and teasing her. When Jiang Mubai brought them into the box before, Cheng Xiangdi wanted to hold the child, but Jiang An was still beside him and he couldn't ignore him, so he could only put the matter aside.
Now that the meal was over and Jiang An was chatting with Cheng Yunchuan, Cheng Xiangdi finally got the chance to hold Xiang Xiang in his arms. He first learned from Jiang Mubai how to hold a baby and then immediately took Xiang Xiang in his arms.
Jiang Mubai saw Cheng Xiangdi's skilled posture and couldn't help but praise him: "As expected of an uncle, you are so skilled at holding a child. If you don't know, you would think you hold children like this all the time."
"What's the big deal? Didn't I just learn from Mu Bai? This is something you can do if you have hands."
"Really? I still think that the uncle is too good. When Yunchuan was learning how to hold a baby in the hospital, he cried and spent a long time learning. He was afraid of hurting the baby and making the baby uncomfortable, so he was very stiff. So he is worthy of being an uncle."
"Really? It turns out Yunchuan can be so embarrassed."
"Of course not. The stiff posture at the back made us cry. The child cried for a long time in his arms. It made me so sad to hear that."
"It's what he deserves. He can't even hold a child. He deserves that we want to cry and don't like him holding us anymore."
After hearing what Cheng Xiangdi said, Zhou Xiaoying helped Cheng Yunchuan explain: "You can't blame Xiao Cheng. It's normal for him to be nervous as it's his first time being a father. Later, he cried and it was Xiao Cheng who comforted him."
