Chapter 799 Betrothal Gift

Xiao Zhen began to deal with various difficult problems. For example, when Mrs. Yukinoshita asked him about his family situation, there were some things he could not say directly.

For example, he already has a wife, not just one, and even his son can go out on adventures on his own.

If he was really stupid enough to tell the truth, even if Yukino was willing to accept it like a love-brained person, her family would probably kick him out.

Of course, Xiao Zhen could see at a glance that Mrs. Yukinoshita had a great desire for power and money. Perhaps if she could occasionally show off her financial strength, she could become a breakthrough for the Yukinoshita family.

Mrs. Yukinoshita clapped her hands, ordered the servants to bring two cups of coffee, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhenjun, come and taste it. This cup of coffee is made from coffee beans grown by our family. The taste is still very pure and rich."

Although Xiao Zhen didn't like coffee very much, he still took a sip after adding a little sugar. The taste was indeed good and much better than the coffee he had drunk before.

"This cup of coffee is made with the highest quality coffee beans. Every step of the process is carefully supervised by top blenders from the United States. It is mainly used to entertain the family's distinguished guests. Xiao Zhenjun, what do you think?"

Xiao Zhen understood what Mrs. Yukinoshita said. This was a meaningful question: Are you qualified to be a VIP of our Yukinoshita family?

A smile appeared on Xiao Zhen's face. He was not a poor boy with nothing. If he took out a few treasures from him, he might be able to buy a country.

Taking out a palm-sized wooden box, Xiao Zhen gently opened the lid and saw a lot of neatly arranged golden leaves inside. Under the shining light, a magical luster could be seen.

Especially the alluring fragrance, which attracted the attention of everyone in the hall. Mrs. Yukinoshita's intuition told her that these leaves were not just decorations.

Xiao Zhen glanced at the blonde maid who had just helped to make coffee and said with a smile, "Compared to coffee, I really still prefer tea. I'd like to ask this beautiful maid to help me make two cups of tea with this box of tea leaves. This can be regarded as a return for the high-quality coffee just now."

After getting Mrs. Yukinoshita's nod of approval, the maid carefully took the small wooden box and brought two cups of tea a few minutes later.

Mrs. Yukinoshita took a quick sniff from the teacup and felt that all the fatigue she had accumulated over the years had disappeared.

Xiao Zhen took a sip. Although the freshly brewed tea was scalding hot, it was just that hot for him.

After Mrs. Yukinoshita came back to her senses from the aroma of tea, she looked at Mr. Xiao who had already started sipping tea opposite her, and couldn't help but gently touch the teacup with her fingers, and found that the temperature was still very high.

Of course, Xiao Zhen also noticed the gaze from the beautiful woman opposite him.

"Madam, this tea is scalding hot. Most people can't drink it like me, so please wait a moment."

Mrs. Yukinoshita immediately began to re-evaluate the other party's importance. Mystery, mystery beyond mystery, and more mystery!

"Xiao Zhenjun, I'll be frank about you and Yukino. The family only cares about benefits. If nothing unexpected happens, Yukino will be arranged to marry someone who can bring benefits to the Yukinoshita family in the future.

Maybe it's through marriage, or maybe it's about attracting talented people, but this is how the family can prosper. I believe you are no longer a child, and you should understand these principles."

When Mrs. Yukinoshita said this, a few traces of reminiscence flashed in her eyes. Back then, everyone was a romantic and innocent girl, longing for a sweet love.

However, born into a family, Mrs. Yukinoshita accepted her fate since childhood and married her current husband after graduating from university.

The main reason is that the Yukinoshita family is small, and among people of the same generation as Lady Yukinoshita, she is the only heir.

So they needed to recruit an excellent son-in-law, and it just so happened that Yukino's father met all the requirements, and then the two of them got married smoothly under the arrangement of the family.

Compared to Yukino, Mrs. Yukinoshita still values ​​her elder sister Haruno more and plans to let her inherit the family.

As for Yukino's arrangements, she has already found a lot of blind date candidates, and almost all of them are rich young men.

"Xiao Zhenjun, Xue Nai has been waiting for you for a long time. I heard that there is a custom of giving gifts in China. I wonder how much gift you can give?"

Although Xiao Zhen felt a little disgusted with his family's habit of selling daughters, he also knew that it was common sense.

Even in their Xiao family, there is always a group of women used for external marriages.

If these women want to fall in love freely, first of all, they or the person they like must have enough strength, otherwise they can only leave it to fate.

Xiao Zhen took out a small medicine bottle. Since it was a betrothal gift, of course he had to give something that would satisfy the other party.

"It contains medicine that can prolong life. I wonder if it can be used as my wedding gift."

Mrs. Yukinoshita's hand froze as she was about to sip her tea. A drug that increases longevity? This was no joke.

How many powerful old guys would wish to live longer before they die. If they were provided with this kind of medicine, they would definitely gain a lot of benefits.

Of course, the premise is that the guy in front of me is not bragging.

Mrs. Yukinoshita suppressed her throbbing heart and asked, "I have never heard of any drug that can increase life span. Could this bottle be the latest product from some research institute?"

Xiao Zhen shook his head and said, "This thing is a specialty of my hometown. It's been around for a long time!"

Mrs. Yukinoshita looked at the jade bottle. As she shook it gently, she could hear the sound of the pill inside colliding with the inner wall.

There should be more than one, but I don't know what the effect will be.

Xiao Zhen said calmly: "Madam, I am sincere enough. As for this bottle of medicine, you can go back and find someone to try it. If it doesn't work, I can promise not to appear in front of Xue Nai in the future."

Seeing Xiao Zhen's confident look, Mrs. Yukinoshita nodded, as if she believed him a little, but she still pushed the bottle of elixir that could prolong life back.

"My daughter hasn't even married yet, how can I accept the betrothal gift first? And according to the customs in China, our family also has to prepare a dowry.

By the way, Xiao Zhenjun, how did you get to know our Xue Nai? Can you tell me when you first met?"

Xiao Zhen thought for a moment, then recalled, "Well, this story probably started more than two years ago. At that time, the monster attacked Sobu High School, and Yukino was trapped on the rooftop of the school. I saved her when I passed by."

There was a flash of confusion in Mrs. Yukinoshita's eyes. After all, neither Haruno nor the person involved, Yukino, had ever told her.

At the same time, she was also feeling fortunate. Even though she was now considering using her daughter as a bargaining chip for the family, as a mother, she did not want her daughter to encounter misfortune.

"It's actually a scene where a hero saves a beautiful girl. It seems like Xiao Zhenjun and our Xue Nai are really destined to be together!"

Mrs. Yukinoshita just thought that Xiao Zhen happened to pass by and rescued Yukino who was trapped on the rooftop, and did not associate it with the blue Ultraman at all.
