I Really Didn't Want to Increase My Favorability!

Chapter 15

Ten minutes later, under the watchful eyes of Father Xu and Mother Xu, the two managed to finish lunch and took the opportunity to explain the situation at the dining table.

Xu Lins parents finally understood what was going on after carefully processing the information. The atmosphere in the living room, however, became even quieter.

Sorry, Uncle and Auntie, for causing trouble on my first visit.

Seeing the expressions of the elderly couple, Chu Qingchan stood up, walked over to Mother Xu, and sat down, her small face showing a hint of apology.

Xu Lin, on the other hand, took a sip of the unfinished sparkling water, thinking, Didnt she say she couldnt make expressions? Oh well, you cant trust everything a woman says.

Its okay; youre not causing trouble. Its just that were not used to it. Suddenly, a big star comes to our home, and we dont know what to say.

Mother Xu, seeing Chu Qingchan, who had appeared imposing earlier, now displaying such gentleness and respect towards them, couldnt help but smile.

Godfather is such a good person, but his children turned out like this. I dont even bother to entertain them! But since its my godfathers relatives, I cant just kick them out. Sigh~

Father Xu sighed and picked up the cup, wanting to drink some tea. Finding that it was empty, he waved to Xu Lin, Bring some tea leaves. This, Miss Chu,what would you like to drink?

Ill have plain water. Uncle, theres no need to be so formal; you can just call me Qingchan.

Right, you celebrities need to watch your figures. Xu Feng nodded.

Xu Lin walked to the kitchen and lifted the tea leaf can. Suddenly, he remembered that Chu Qingchan had bought some good tea. So, he picked up two packaged bags and went back.

Whats this?

Chu Qingchan bought some tea for you guys. You can have this one.

Chu Qingchan opened the gift box, revealing a small can. Xu Fengs eyes brightened a few degrees as he came over.

Isnt this tea quite expensive?

Not too expensive, just over 2,000. Also, I bought a ring for Auntie.

Chu Qingchan stood up, brought over another small bag, and handed it to Mother Xu. Although it was small, it had a familiar gold shop logo.

Mother Xu just noticed this. If she knew it was such a valuable item, she wouldnt have accepted it just now.

Auntie, try it on.

But Chu Qingchan had already taken out the ring. It appeared simple and unadorned in silver-white, but under the sunlight from the window, it occasionally sparkled with a faint glow.

Approaching it, Mother Xu could see clearly that it was a platinum ring with a dozen small diamonds embedded in the centre, resembling stars.

I thought a plain diamond ring was too common. At first sight, I decided on this one. However, theres still a slightly larger diamond at the bottom.

She turned it around, revealing a one-carat diamond, half-embedded in the ring, with a subtle protrusion, giving it an elegant yet understated look.

Which woman doesnt like diamonds? However, for the sake of family and life, one might not necessarily need this sparkle. But the liking is still there.

Mother Xus smile instantly brightened, but the moment Chu Qingchan put the ring on her finger, she also realised that this ring was worth at least tens of thousands.

Qingchan, even though youre a big star, this gift is too valuable.

As long as Auntie likes it, thats all that matters. Money is not important. But there was only one in the store; I initially wanted to get one for Uncle too, to make a matching pair.

Dont go to such trouble; I just like to drink tea and a bit of alcohol. Im already very happy.

In fact, Mr. Xu also gave me advice; its your preferences that matter.

Chu Qingchan glanced at Xu Lin, who had turned into an expressionless state like hers.

Li Yuan and Xu Feng were stunned. Did Mr. Xu refer to their son? Although Xu Lin had explained their acquaintance process, they still couldnt understand how their ordinary high school son became friends with such a big star.

However, they felt that their son had changed a lot recently. He used to get anxious and irritable easily, yet he was honest externally and didnt talk much.

Recently, he became more calm, started chatting and making friends, and even began helping with household chores. They were initially not used to this change.

Thinking about it, they suddenly felt that their sons doing something even more surprising wasnt a big deal. However, bringing a big star home was still beyond their imagination.

By the way, Auntie, dont think about reciprocating. Grandma has already returned the favour.

She rolled up her sleeves, and then Father Xu and Mother Xus expressions changed because they recognised this bracelet.

Xu Lin, what does your grandma mean?

Li Yuan directly exclaimed because this was not a small matter. Only one day has passed, and they couldnt just add a daughter-in-law like this. Chu Qingchan looked at Xu Lin, somewhat puzzled, and he sat down beside her.

Grandma didnt say much; she just gave it as a gift to Chu Qingchan.

But your grandma told me about this thing. It was given to her by her mother, and later, when she wanted to give it to me, I refused, saying its for my future daughter-in-law.

Hearing Mother Xu say this, Chu Qingchan also looked at Xu Lin. Little devil, you arent just eyeing my body; you want to move in together directly with the whole package, huh?

Wait until I finish. This thing is not the earliest jade bracelet; Grandma put that one away. These are the ones she made herself later.

Oh?

Yes, she gives them to whomever she likes. But there are only 13, and the old lady really likes her.

Is that so?

Hearing Xu Lin say this, the couple sighed in relief. Its not that they thought Chu Qingchan was too old for their son, but she was exceptionally beautiful and had good family conditions.

Their son was just an ordinary student. Even if he went to college in the future and found a good job, he would still be an ordinary person, not on the same level as a star.

Of course, if the two were interested in each other, it wouldnt be urgent for the next two years. But they had just met for a day; this was too fast.

On the other hand, Chu Qingchan was a little unhappy. She might have been criticised and denied in various aspects for over twenty years, but the only thing that was not denied was her beauty and charm.

However, in front of this little devil, her beauty was acknowledged, but she didnt feel like he was attracted to her. For the first time, she felt denied in this aspect.

But if that were the case, he occasionally wouldnt praise her beauty. She felt she couldnt understand this young mans thoughts.

By the way, Chu Qingchan, I want to talk to you about something.

Xu Lin finished his soft drink and suddenly became serious. He walked toward his bedroom, and Chu Qingchan stood up like a primary school student called over by a teacher.

If this kid bullies you, just tell us, and well teach him a lesson.

Mother Xu shouted to Chu Qingchan, making Xu Lin sigh. Both his mother and grandmother, when they saw a beautiful girl, didnt consider him anything special.

Once in the room, Xu Lin asked with a slightly serious tone, You recognised that Qin Tiantian from the beginning?

Yeah, initially, I wasnt sure, but when I heard them talking, I figured it out.

To be honest, everyone in the crew knows how she got in. Shes the only one who thinks she got in through hard work. Its quite pitiful.

Okay, but wont they go out and talk nonsense? I dont want my parents to be affected. I dont care, but they are just ordinary people. I want them to live a healthy and happy life.

Hearing Xu Lins concern for his parents, Chu Qingchan felt relieved. It turned out that he was just worried about his parents, and she was indeed a little impulsive just now.

I was impulsive, but its okay. She is just a minor character.

Are you sure they wont leak our home address and your information in Linshui City?

Dont worry. Forget about them; they have no status in the entertainment industry. I can dig out a lot of dirt about them if I want, like some videos and recordings of Mr. Qin and Qin Tiantian.

Besides, if they leak my information online, I have a special PR team, not from the company but mine. They can handle it. If that doesnt work, my old man will help. Legal procedures are also an option.

Okay.

Xu Lin nodded, not prying further. It seemed she didnt want to discuss her parents situation.

Chu Qingchans phone suddenly rang. She answered the call, and Xu Lin stepped aside. From her side of the conversation, he could tell it was work-related.

After a few minutes, she hung up, and when she looked at him, she put down her phone. But Xu Lin felt a bad premonition.

Whats wrong?

Mr. Xu, I think you have talent, and you look handsome. I just casually agreed to do a job for you. You wont be angry, will you?

A job? What job?

Acting, of course. You said you acted better than me. A job came up, and I took it for you.

What?! Xu Lins brain seemed to go blank for a moment.
