Chapter 260: President Xia Gives a Gift (Part 1)
Chapter 260 of "Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor" unveils a new twist: In front of everyone, Fang Bai couldnât ask Xia Chenyu outright what she was up... See what happens!
In front of everyone, Fang Bai couldnât ask Xia Chenyu outright what she was up to, so he had to start by introducing his own parents and relatives."This is my eldest uncle, this is my second uncle, this is my youngest aunt... This is my eldest cousin brother, this is my second cousin sister, this is my cousin brother..."
As Fang Bai introduced each of his relatives present, Xia Chenyu smiled, nodded, and said a polite "hello."
Driving an expensive car and dressed in designer brands, plus her stunning looks and her extraordinary aura, Xia Chenyu clearly appeared to come from a wealthy and prestigious family. Her simple "hello" left people like Fang Qiang feeling flattered and slightly awed.
"This is my dad, my mom, my little sister..."
After introducing the relatives, Fang Bai finally pointed to his own family and introduced them.
When Xia Chenyu greeted Fang Baiâs uncles, aunts, and such, she maintained a courteous and ritualistic politeness that was neither too distant nor overly enthusiasticâa perfect balance.
However, her demeanor changed completely when she faced Fang Baiâs immediate family.
"Hi, uncle, hi auntie! My name is Xia Chenyu, and I am Fang Baiâs good friend. You can just call me Chenyu from now on."
What really surprised Fang Bai was that not only was Xia Chenyu extremely warm to his family, but after greeting them, she even went up to Yang Mei, Fang Baiâs mother, took her hands in hers, and said, "Auntie, Fang Bai told me that youâre just over forty, but I think you look no older than in your early thirties... It turns out Fang Bai has been lying to me!"
Women like to be complimented, especially older women who are more concerned about their appearance and health. Xia Chenyuâs remark delighted Yang Mei, who beamed with joy.
"Chenyu, Fang Bai didnât lie to you, auntie is indeed over forty years old. Hehe, it would be great if I were as young as you say!"
Xia Chenyu, beautiful and dignified, with a sweet tongue, won over Yang Meiâs affection immediately. In her mind, she started guessing what the beautiful and elegant girlâs relationship with her son might be.
Hearing Xia Chenyuâs words, Fang Bai couldnât help but roll his eyes and thought, when did I ever tell you my momâs age? If you want to please my mom, do you have to involve me?
"Uncle and auntie, since this is our first meeting, I brought some gifts for you. I hope you like them... Fang Bai, could you come and help me, please?"
Xia Chenyu said this with pleading eyes to Fang Bai, then turned around and walked towards her sports car parked not too far away.
Although Fang Bai didnât understand what Xia Chenyu was up to, since she asked him to help, it wouldnât look good if he just stood there, so he quickly followed her.
"Sister Xia, what are you up to?"
Walking side by side with Xia Chenyu, Fang Bai asked softly.
"Iâm not up to anything!"
A look of feigned innocence flashed across Xia Chenyuâs face.
"Not right! You are way too enthusiastic, and whatâs with the gifts? There must be something up."
Xia Chenyu chuckled and said, "Canât I try to please your family?"
"Why would you bother to please them if youâre neither blood nor kin?"
Fang Bai was puzzled.
"To please them is to please you!"
With a sideways glance filled with charm, Xia Chenyu softly laughed, "Now youâre our secret weapon at Beauty Company. With you on board, Beauty Company can continue to grow and expand! We can go beyond Huaxia and reach out to the world! So I must do everything in my power to retain you!"
Fang Bai laughed wryly and finally realized Xia Chenyuâs cordial behavior towards his family was because she was worried he might stop helping Beauty Company in the future. She wanted to use this roundabout method of "winning over the people to win the prince" to keep him at Beauty Company.
"Here, help me with these!"
Xia Chenyu arrived beside her sports car, took several gift boxes of varying sizes out of it, and had Fang Bai help carry them.
From the box, Fang Bai sensed a faint trace of Essence Energy and knew there must be a valuable gemstone inside, thinking that Xia Chenyu was really going all out to please his family.
However, Fang Bai didnât say anything, after all, the three secret recipes he had provided not only saved Xia Chenyuâs "Beauty Company" from the brink of disaster but also helped her make a fortune, generating astonishing profits. It was reasonable for her to give some gifts to his family members.
"Mom, I donât think the relationship between that Xia Chenyu and my little brother is as simple as friendship!"
Fang Yun leaned in close to her mother, Yang Mei, and whispered with a giggle while looking at Xia Chenyu, who was busy getting things from her car not far away.
"If not friends, what is it?"
Yang Meiâs heart stirred, and she asked with a smiling face.
"If not friends, of course, they are lovers! Havenât you noticed that Xia Chenyu looks at my brother with eyes full of tender affection!" Fang Yun said.
"Xiao Yun, donât talk nonsense about things without proof, it wouldnât be good if that girl heard you!"
Fang Gang glared at his daughter.
"Hmm, Xiao Yun is right, I also feel that Xia Chenyu seems to have a soft spot for our son."
The more Yang Mei watched Xia Chenyu, the more she liked her, smiling and saying, "That girl is not only beautiful but also has temperament, standing together with our son, they really match well! I will ask our son carefully later, to see whatâs really going on between them."
While they were speaking, Fang Bai and Xia Chenyu returned, each holding a gift box.
"Uncle, I bought this watch in Hong Kong Island, I hope you will like it!"
Xia Chenyu approached Fang Gang, took out a watch from one of the gift boxes, and handed it to Fang Gang with a beaming smile.
"This..."
Fang Gang hesitated, unsure if he should accept the gift, and turned his gaze toward his son, Fang Bai, seeking his opinion.
"Dad, this is Sister Xiaâs sincere gesture, please accept it," Fang Bai said with a smile.
Fang Gang nodded and then thanked Xia Chenyu before taking the watch she had given.
Fang Gang liked to wear watches and the one he had on his wrist was a common watch he had bought for a few hundred dollars several years ago, which now looked somewhat old, but he had always been reluctant to replace it.
Although he wasnât knowledgeable about watches, Fang Gang saw that the watch Xia Chenyu gave him was exquisitely made, beautiful and extraordinary, and knew it must be pricey.
"Vacheron Constantin!"
Fang Xiaojuan had approached Fang Gang at some point and exclaimed out loud after glancing at the watch in his hands.
"Whatâs the matter, Xiao Juan? Do you recognize this watch?"
Yang Mei turned her head to ask.
"Iâve seen this model in a watch shop in Zhongzhou City, itâs worth four or five hundred thousand!"
Fang Xiaojuanâs gaze fixated on the Vacheron Constantin watch in Fang Gangâs hands, her face full of envy, and she became even more curious about Xia Chenyuâs identity.
Xia Chenyu, who drove a luxury car worth a million, was clearly wealthy, but to casually gift a luxury watch worth several hundred thousand was not something an ordinarily rich person could afford to do.
In Fang Xiaojuanâs eyes, Xia Chenyu was a super-rich and beautiful woman. If she were indeed Fang Baiâs girlfriend, then their uncleâs family was set to soar to great heights.
