When the elderly couple took the elevator down to the living room.

"Why does it look like a palace?" Mrs Xia blurted out.

Mr Xia immediately stopped her: "You shouldn't say that, palaces and such aren't in vogue anymore."

"It's just an ordinary large villa."

"Yes, yes, an ordinary large villa," Mrs Xia said awkwardly.

Sun Dasheng found it amusing and whispered in Xia Ruyi's ear, "Are our parents so enlightened?"

Xia Ruyi replied proudly, "Of course, you shouldn't underestimate the wisdom of anyone from Shandong."

"Oh, right, it's the province known for civil service exams, got it."

"Mom, Dad, this is the kitchen, we have both Chinese and Western styles; it's very convenient for cooking anything."

Xia Ruyi introduced the kitchen to the elderly couple.

Mrs Xia's eyes lit up when she saw the kitchen.

This was her dream kitchen.

Her expression was just like Mr Xia's earlier when he looked at the cars in the garage.

There was a chef busy in the kitchen, but he left after a quick glance.

The nanny was already waiting at the spiral staircase.

This time they didn't take the elevator but chose to walk the stairs to better observe the interior.

The two nannies escorted them, one in front and the other behind.

Using the term 'escort' isn't quite accurate; it's more like being surrounded by attendants.

This treatment made Mrs Xia a bit uncomfortable, so she quietly asked her daughter, "Is it necessary to have so many nannies at home?"

Xia Ruyi pressed her lips together, "He insists on hiring so many; I can't help it."

But the smile on her face betrayed her thoughts.

Mrs Xia looked at her daughter, speechless; how did she change so much after just a few days of being a rich wife?

No, I must stay and keep an eye on my daughter so she doesn't turn into one of those annoying female villains from TV.

Of course, Xia Ruyi was unaware of her mother's thoughts.

She was still leading the way, taking them through every room in the house.

The second floor was mainly bedrooms and a study.

The entertainment and fitness amenities, along with the garage, were all on the basement level.

There was a gym, a small cinema, and a small KTV room.

After the house tour, it was just about mealtime.

The chef had perfectly timed the completion of the meal.

The nannies were serving the dishes.

"Mom, you can come down to eat now," Xia Ruyi knocked on the door.

This room was prepared specifically for the parents; they had settled in and were chatting quietly.

They had a lot to talk about, as this trip to Shanghai City had been quite overwhelming for them.

When they heard their daughter's voice outside.

The elderly couple ended their conversation and came out.

At the dining table, looking at a feast of delicacies, Mrs Xia said somewhat painfully:

"Isn't this too much food? The few of us can't finish it; it's wasteful."

Sun Dasheng and Xia Ruyi exchanged a glance, both feeling a bit helpless.

They knew this moment would come.

So they explained, "Mom, Dad, you've misunderstood. We usually cook just enough without much waste. Today we wanted to treat you well, so if you say that, it makes me feel bad."

Xia Ruyi pretended to feel heartache.

Mr Xia was the first to surrender, saying to his wife, "It's the children's thoughtful gesture, so just say a little less."

Mrs Xia secretly pinched Mr Xia.

How dare you betray your camp?

Sun Dasheng added, "The leftover food won't go to waste; the staff can take it home with them."

Oh?

If that's the case, then it's fine.

Mrs Xia's expression softened; you can't blame them for being vocal, the older generation can't bear to see food wasted.

Sun Dasheng understood, so he explained further.

With anyone else, he wouldn't bother.

The small family gathering was full of joy.

After finishing the meal, Mr Xia secretly asked Sun Dasheng, "Is there any more deer whip in stock?"

Sun Dasheng's face lit up with a smile, "Uncle, the effect is good, right?"

"More than good, it's just..."

Halfway through speaking, he realized it was his son-in-law, and talking about this topic felt inappropriate.

So he gave a tactical cough and said sternly, "If there is, give me a few pieces; why so much fuss?"

"Hehe... I understand, I'll have them prepared for you, whenever you feel like eating them, have the chef cook them for you. We have a permanent chef at home, so you can secretly enjoy them."

"Oh? Really? Well... Sun, you're a decent person."

Mr Xia patted his shoulder and hurried upstairs.

To do what?

Sun Dasheng didn't know.

He didn't dare ask either.

Only Xia Ruyi, not far away, looked at him disapprovingly.

Look what you've done.

Sun Dasheng shrugged, "Our parents aren't that old; they should have their own fun. What's wrong with us children helping them a bit?"

Xia Ruyi was speechless.

This man really makes one feel love and hate.

They took a few days to accompany the in-laws around Dahu City.

Bought quite a few things, but didn't spend much money.

Because every time they spent money on expensive items, the in-laws refused to take them.

Only when buying those good-quality, affordable items did they beam with happiness.

Alright, don't easily break the old generation's habits.

As long as they're happy, then it's all good.

At this moment, he thought of his own parents.

Away from home, traveling for so long, he hadn't sent greetings in a while.

Little did he know his filial piety would be ignored.

A quick chat on the phone ended with: "We're in romantic Turkey riding a hot air balloon, don't disturb us."

Goodness gracious.

Am I just a child that comes along with paying the phone bill?

After hanging up, he went ahead and recharged his parents' account.
