Chapter 134: Meeting Her Parents (3)

Originally, she did not feel nervous . However, as time pa.s.sed while she waited, she imagined the various scenes that she might have to face later and she gradually grew more tense . In these times, even after the dating couple’s parents meet the partners, several years may still exist between the first meeting and the marriage .

During this period of time, the matter of dating did not involve only the two within the couple, but it also involved testing between both sides of the families . Marriage never mattered simply between two people .

Gu Jin never spoke to her parents about Mu Mingcheng’s ident.i.ty, in consideration for the lower status her family holds compared to the Mu family .

Once the couple joined their two families through their marriage, gossip will spread throughout the society . When that happens, the gossip will target Gu Jin’s family, the most vulnerable party, and it would place unimaginable, immeasurable pressure on them .

As Gu Jin lead Mu Mingcheng towards the living room, calming herself down to the sound of his steady breathing, she grew irrationally angry . He should clearly be the nervous wreck here! What should she feel nervous about?

The family considered today’s meeting as a formal occasion, which every member should attend . However, Gu Ling injured her foot so seriously, that she left for the hospital to recuperate, accompanied by Grandma Gu . Apart from the two of them, the members of the Gu Family sat together, tensed and waiting .

Upon entering the living room, cool air washed over Gu Jin, calming her frazzled nerves . With a shy smile on her face, she introduced him, “Dad, Mom, this is my boyfriend, Mu Mingcheng . ”

“Professor Gu, Professor Li,” Mu Mingcheng greeted with a gentle smile following Gu Jin’s introduction . “This is my first visit, so I’m not familiar with your preferences yet . Because of this, I hand-picked the gifts for you myself . I hope they suit your tastes . ”

His bodyguard proceeded to spread out the gift boxes of various sizes, some large and some small .

Seeing this, Gu Teng—who originally perched obediently towards the side—released a snort .

Gu Changsheng’s eyes casually flickered across the crowded floor, glanced briefly his daughter, and landed on the gentleman standing next to her .

Mingcheng .  Mu Mingcheng .
