Chapter ２０ Shanghe Family Mansion is a guest
1271 Words
After visiting the street with William, Elisa felt a little inferior. The absolute amount was remarkable.
Besides clothes, shoes and scarves, she also bought several bags and a bunch of perfume, cosmetics and skin care products.
At first, Elisa calculated the total price. Later, when the total price jumped to seven figures, she didn't know how to calculate it.
It would take her several years to have an income to buy things in one night, still without eating or drinking.
That time she thoroughly felt the gap between them.
William parked his car in front of Elisa's unit building, unbuckled her seat belt, and got off to open the door for her.
Elisa said with some discomfort: "I can solve this kind of thing by myself, okay?"
Although she felt quite comfortable, it was awkward.
"Get used to it. When men are around, and if women are being allowed to unbuckle their seat belts and open their doors. I think this man is a failure."
Elisa was speechless.
They returned to Elisa's home with big bags.
William took all the big bags with weight, and let Elisa only have a few small bags in her hand.
Elisa, who had been raised by Emily, suddenly became awkward.
Emman was very satisfied when he saw the two entering the door in tandem and saw what they had in their hands. He asked, "Have you eaten?"
"I've had dinner."
Emily came forward to take those large and small paper bags and asked William to sit down.
William took out two of the bags, which looked unpretentious and valuable from the material point of view.
"Uncle, aunt, my parents and I were too presumptuous to come to the door before, and we didn't prepare any meeting gifts for the two of you. These two small-day gifts show a little appreciation, I hope you don't dislike them."
Emman and Emily didn't refuse, and took gracefully.
Emman looked at the bag in front of him and knew that there were tea leaves inside.
At the same time, he also understood that William was carefully preparing gifts.
"It was very kind of you."
"This is due courtesy." William smiled calmly, looking like an elite in a shopping mall. "I was careless in registering for marriage before, which worried Elisa and you. My parents also have a lot of opinions about this. They are preparing for the wedding now. When the two of you will be free in the near future, they will come to the door to discuss the details of the wedding."
"Weekends are fine."
"All right. It's tentatively scheduled for Sunday and Saturday. Elisa will accompany me back to the mansion and show her where I grew up. Do you think this arrangement is appropriate?" William asked.
William's words, deeds and manners all revealed respect.
Even Elisa, who had seen his private appearance, was moved by his sincerity.
Whether Edward and Rebecca would come to the door in person, or William's remarks that night, they all showed that they attach importance to the marriage and used practical actions to reassure Elisa's family.
After seeing off William, Elisa washed and lay in bed, looking at more than a dozen unopened paper bags.
When she bought them, she did not have any sense of belonging.
But that time the feeling was much lighter.
As a girl, she could not help but like those exquisite things.
She would not say that she did not like it.
William said those words in front of her parents, which dispersed her a lot of uneasiness.
She had heard many colleagues in the hospital say about marriage, and they would quarrel and get angry about all kinds of trivial matters encountered in decorating the wedding.
Men would ignore their feelings in order to save money or trouble.
To put it bluntly, girls get married because of love and leave their parents who had given birth to them for more than 20 years, and they would live with a man who had only known them for a few years or months. And then they would call their in-laws strangers who had never given birth to them. While those strangers took care of them, put their energy, youth and hard work for the family.
Yet those men were unwilling to arrange for the girls even with basic etiquette and a simple wedding.
After seeing a lot of female colleagues almost break up for the wedding, and then looking at how William Brich handled things, it was impossible for Elisa to have no idea in his heart.
Maybe it would be a good decision for her to marry William.
Elisa thought so and slowly fell asleep.
William picked up Elisa to and from work every day, plus the wedding news announced by Brich's group.
People in Westmead Hospital had changed a lot about Elisa, the envious and jealous eyes of female colleagues and female patients were becoming more and more obvious.
Elisa felt that going to work was particularly unbeautiful.
She managed to stay up until Saturday.
On Saturday morning, she picked out a suit on the pile of clothes bought by William, she put on a purple silk scarf, and matched it with a light-colored medium coat, which kept warm and light.
Emily looked at her dress and smiled, "Oh, my daughter is really beautiful when she dresses up."
"Are you serious, mom?"
"Seriously, of course."
Elisa gave her a doubtful look, then tied her hair into a meatball head and looked in the mirror for a while.
"Mom, what do you think of my short hair?"
"Don't mess around, how nice it is for you to have long hair."
"It is more comfortable for me to have short hair in this job."
"The doctors and nurses in your hospital have not all cut their hair short, and they have a poor relationship with their careers."
"I don't think so."
Emily looked at Elisa and asked, "Baby, are you nervous?"
"Can you not be nervous? I am seeing my parents-in-law."
"They all seem to be reasonable people, and they do not seem to be like what we see on TV. Don't worry too much."
"Mom, were you nervous when you met my grandparents before?"
"Didn't you hear the embarrassing things at that time several times? My relationship with your father and your relationship with William is different. I am one year older than your father. When one's love story was not popular, it was easy to deal with. Let us simply put it like this, you have your own job, have a well-off family, and you do good. It is not surprising that people like you marry into a wealthy family."
"Mom, you praise your daughter without putting in so much effort."
"I'm serious. You should go out, I saw my son-in-law's car coming."
"Goodbye, mom."
William just stopped the car when he saw the door of the unit building opened.
Seeing Elisa come out, he smiled and said, "Woman, you really don't date very often, you are so on time."
"If doctors don't have a sense of time, they will kill many patients." Elisa didn't wait for William to get off the car, so she opened the door and got in the car.
William looked at her smiling and saw that she was still carrying a bag of things in her hand. "Gifts for my parents?"
"Hmm. If the gift is not up to grade, will they dislike it?" Elisa asked with some uneasiness.
"Gifts are being appreciated by thoughtfulness of the giver not for its value."
"William, you are talking more and more."
