Chapter XVI
That afternoon, Sergei stood bored in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel room, he put his hands in his pockets, staring at the scenery outside the window, his eyes were deep, he had been waiting for Yao Jingjing's reply, he knew that Yao Jingjing needed some time to convince his parents, he couldn't rush.
At this time, the assistant - Ivan walked over.
"Boss, this morning a pair of middle-aged people in their fifties went to the bank to inquire about the 500 check. I guess it was Miss Yao's parents. ”
A smile flashed in Sergei's eyes, and he expected that Yao Jingjing had convinced his parents nine times out of ten.
"Ivan, make a reservation, find the best hotel in Penang, and I will have a banquet for Miss Yao's parents the night after tomorrow."
"The day after tomorrow? Boss, will it be faster, you haven't received a call from Miss Yao yet! ”
"I don't think there's a problem. You go ahead and book first. ”
"Okay."
After Ivan left, Sergei took out his mobile phone and dialed Yao Jingjing.
Yao Jingjing on the other end of the phone is resting on the bed at the moment, today is the weekend, she doesn't have to go to work. Hearing the phone ringing, she picked up her phone and saw that it was Sergey's phone, instantly sobered up and pressed the call button.
"Hey."
"Jingjing, today is Sunday, you shouldn't be at work, right?" Sergei naturally called out Yao Jingjing's name, and his tone was full of tenderness.
"No, I'm resting at home."
"That's the case, the day after tomorrow, I plan to invite your parents to dinner and settle our marriage, what do you think?"
"Uh, the day after tomorrow? So fast! ”
"I want to marry you as soon as possible, I can't wait. I guess you should have convinced your parents to agree to our marriage, right? ”
Yao Jingjing paused and responded: "It's persuaded." But my parents are still a little uncomfortable.
"I understand, your parents must want to see me, maybe when they really see me, they will rest assured that their daughter will marry me."
"You're pretty confident."
Sergei smiled and said, "The last thing I lack is self-confidence. In a few moments, I'll send you the address of the hotel and the appointment time on your phone. ”
"Okay."
"Also, Jingjing, you see that we are about to get married, and I will take you back to Russia to live after we get married. You quit your job at the 4S shop. ”
"Okay, or I'm going to quit tomorrow when I go to work."
"Okay, you can rest, I won't bother, see you the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, goodbye."
The dialogue between Yao Jingjing and Sergei is so polite and detached, not at all like a person who is about to enter the marriage hall, and it is estimated that there will be such a dialogue atmosphere after marriage.
It is said that since the last time Yao Jingjing had a long talk with his parents, Yao's father and Yao's mother have also thought for a long time, and they also clearly realize that their family predicament is really difficult to solve, and let their daughter marry a 65-year-old man, which really wronged their daughter, but if they don't do this, who else can their daughter marry, and who has so much financial resources to help their family get out of trouble! Thinking of the possible miserable life in the future, Yao's father and Yao's mother were also frightened.
According to Sergei's scheduled time, Yao Jingjing led her parents to the designated hotel. When Yao's father and Yao's mother saw the legendary Sergei for the first time, they suddenly felt ashamed of themselves.
Today Sergei wore a black suit and a navy blue polka-dot tie, because he did not have a beard, and he was white, although he was a little depressed, but a pair of blue eyes were bright, and the whole person was clean, looking full of energy, and there was a kind of elegant taste. Although he is a little blessed in old age, he is still very stylish.
Maybe that's what a rich man looks like! Yao's father and Yao's mother suddenly felt half a head shorter in front of this old son-in-law, on the other hand, they were wearing very ordinary casual clothes, compared with other people's high-end suits, their clothes were simply unsightly.
Sergei did not speak Chinese, and Yao's father and mother did not know English, so Sergey brought a translator with him for this meeting, and Assistant Ivan did not go. As soon as everyone was seated, the restaurant began to serve food, Sergey ordered a lot of dishes, a whole large table.
"Father, mother, these are the signature dishes of this restaurant, and I have heard that this restaurant is the best restaurant in Penang. Eat more today. As soon as Sergei opened his mouth, he called his father and mother directly, which made Yao's father and Yao's mother slightly embarrassed, so he had to nod his head curtly.
After eating for a while, Yao's father was the first to speak: "What should I call you?" Call you Sergey directly? ”
"Yes, just call me Sergei."
"Okay, Sergey, I heard from us Jingjing that you have three children?"
"Yes, three children, two daughters and a son, the eldest is a daughter named Sophia, who is 45 years old this year, and is helping me take care of the company. The second child is also a daughter, named Anna, 41 years old this year, well, she runs her own business. The youngest son's name is Andrew, 38 years old, and he is a university teacher who teaches physics. ”
Father Yao nodded knowingly and said, "The three children are all young and successful!" Are you all married and have children? ”
"No, the eldest daughter got married and had children, and the second daughter and younger son are not married."
Yao's mother couldn't help asking, "Then do they live with you?" ”
"No, they all have their own places to live, they don't live with me. We don't usually see each other very often, and they are all very busy. ”
If you don't live together, then Jingjing will marry and there will be a lot less trouble, which is not bad. Yao's mother nodded with satisfaction.
"After you marry Jingjing, you'll live in Russia, right?" Yao's father asked.
"Yes, I have a manor on the outskirts of Moscow, covering an area of several hundred square meters, and a small farm, after Jingjing comes, I can help take care of the farm, or plant some flowers and plants, I know that Jingjing University is a horticulture major, which can come in handy."
There are estates and farms on the outskirts of Moscow, and no one can be tempted by this family condition! Yao's father and Yao's mother became more and more satisfied with this foreign son-in-law.
Sergei continued: "Father, mother, you can also live with us in Moscow if you wish. This way you will be closer to Jingjing. ”
"Well, that's not necessary, we've lived in Penang all our lives, and we don't want to change places when we're old, and we can't get used to it." Yao's father said.
"Okay, if you don't want to stay for a long time, you can also come to see Jingjing occasionally, or Jingjing can come back to see you from time to time, after all, the transportation is so developed now!" Yao's father and Yao's mother nodded in agreement.
"By the way, a transnational marriage like me and Jingjing needs to go through some procedures, which is more complicated, I asked my assistant to inquire about it, and I want to start it as soon as possible."
"This, you and Jingjing can do it. By the way, do you have any plans for the wedding? Yao's father said.
"As for the wedding, when I return to Russia, I will definitely have a wedding. As for the Chinese side, listen to my father and mother. ”
Yao's father and Yao's mother glanced at each other and looked at Yao Jingjing one after another.
Yao Jingjing said in a timely manner: "Just hold the wedding once, just do it in Russia, and the Chinese side will be exempted." ”
Yao's father and Yao's mother nodded in agreement, and held a wedding, wouldn't it be so that relatives, friends, and neighbors would know about it, and let people know that their daughter was married to an old man in his 60s, although he was a rich man, it was also ugly! They can't afford to lose this man!
Seeing that the three members of the Yao family agreed on the same opinion, Sergei said in a timely manner: "Okay, then it's decided." At this time, Sergei took out a car key from the pocket of his suit jacket and put it in front of Yao's father, only to see that the key was impressively printed with the BMW icon.
"Father, this is the new car I bought at the BMW 4S shop where Jingjing worked a few days ago, the new BMW X5, I bought it for you, please accept it."
"Uh, this, what's so embarrassing!" Yao's father was suddenly terrified, and he was a little embarrassed to take it.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, we're a family now, and it's nothing to buy you a car. By the way, all the formalities for this car have been completed, and the car insurance has been bought. You just have to open it. ”
"This, well, thank you then." Yao's father took the car keys, and he couldn't stop rejoicing in his heart.
"You're welcome. Also, I'll tell you about one of my assistants in China later, and when Jingjing and I leave, you can come to him if you encounter any difficulties in China, and he will try his best to help you solve them. ”
"Uh, okay." Yao's father said.
Unexpectedly, Sergei was so thoughtful, and Yao's father and Yao's mother suddenly had a lot more affection for this foreign son-in-law.
