Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart
Chapter 720 Are You Seriously My Mom?

After laughing, Sylvie resumed her serious face, saying, "I understand your good wish. But the tea is too expensive. We might better change it."

Sylvie could feel that Lucien wanted to please her parents. But from her understanding of her parents, they were very likely to see him as a man with I'll wish.

The thought of this gave her a headache. She didn't know how she shall explain to her parents who Lucien was.

Most parents wished their daughter to marry someone rich. But Sylvie's parents wish that she could lead a simple life.

"Alright, I'll listen to you." Lucien was persuaded.

From Sylvie's personality, he could tell that her parents must care not about wealth. They would never try to please him because he was rich, instead, they might reject him because of that, just like Sylvie did at the beginning.

Sylvie pondered for a while, then said, "We'd better keep your identity secret for now. I'll just tell them that you have a small company."

Sylvie's parents never paid attention to the elites of the business field. So, Sylvie wasn't worried that they might recognize Lucien.

Having made up their mind, they went to the mall again. Sylvie chose another tea for her father according to his preference and view of value. Lucien chose a tea set at a regular price.

After everything was done, they got into the car. Lucien asked, "Did Andrew's assistant bully you again?"

"Nope," Sylvie said honestly. "You've warned him and I also have proofs against him. He won't dare."

Sylvie and Nina had enjoyed a peaceful moment in the crew, Andrew and his assistants avoided them. Sylvie didn't have to endure their mocks.

"Better." Lucien said, "I've asked people to investigate him. He has a lot of dirty stories, which will eventually ruin him without me even moving a finger."

"Wow, you investigate him?" Sylvie was surprised.

"Of course. We never know what kind of trick would he play later on. We have to have something against him so we can fight back." Lucien was a merchant. Dealing with Andrew was just a piece of cake for him.

Lucien didn't destroy Andrew because Andrew was shooting a drama with Nina. Otherwise, Lucien would ruin his reputation as a punishment for bullying Sylvie.

Sylvie sighed, "I wish the threshold of being an actor would be higher. Those with awful morality shouldn't be allowed to enter this industry, in case they damage the atmosphere of the show-biz" Having been working in the film industry for so many years, Sylvie and Nina couldn't be more familiar with the phony actors and dirty means they used to steal resources. Some people would do everything for their interests.

Lucien said gently, "Where there is interest, where there's the scheme."

Scheming in the showbiz were nothing compared to that in the business field. The latter was a real war.

Sylvie's parents hadn't retired yet. They both work. But hearing that Sylvie was going back, Sylvie's mother took one day's leave to cook for Sylvie.

Sylvie's father complained before going to work in the morning, saying that it was more like Sylvie's birthday instead of his.

The moment the doorbell rang, Sylvie's mother had served the table with lunch, and Sylvie's father had returned home from work too.

Sylvie's mother went to open the door merrily. She knew it must be Sylvie.

However, she soon noticed the handsome young man behind Sylvie and was instantly attracted to him.

"Sylvie, who's this?" Sylvie's mother asked, her eyes fixed on Lucien

"Mom, this is Lucien, my boyfriend."

"Boyfriend?" Sylvie's mother didn't expect that at all.

She knew from Sylvie's Instagram that Sylvie was dating someone. Yet Sylvie never mentioned her boyfriend, so they didn't know anything about him. Most importantly, Sylvie's mother didn't expect Lucien to be so handsome. And from his temperament, one could tell that he was not a man of ordinary. Lucien immediately went up to greet Sylvie's mother. "Mrs. Steinfeld, I'm Lucien Fowler. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Sylvie's father came over. He looked at Lucien and said that his wife, "Why standing here? Invite them in."

Only then did Sylvie's mother come back to her sense. She immediately invited Sylvie and Lucien to the table.

Lucien presented the gifts. After some greetings, Sylvie's father was asked to bring water from the kitchen. Sylvie's mother asked Lucien happily from the sofa, "Are you sure you guys are dating? She didn't hire you to deal with us, right?"

Sylvie was stunned. "Mom, what are you talking about? How can I possibly do that?"

She must have watched too many dramas. Such things happened only on the television.

And did she think that Sylvie was not good enough for Lucien? Was that why she couldn't believe it?

Lucien immediately explained, "Mrs. Seinfeld. Sylvie and I are in a serious relationship. We will get married one day."

Sylvie's mother was once again stunned. She looked at Sylvie with suspects. She couldn't believe that after being single all her life, Sylvie would replace such a well-established man who wanted to marry her. Sylvie was speechless at the way her mother looked at her. Was she her real mother?

Sylvie was surprised too. She didn't expect Lucien to talk about marriage the first time he met her parents. For Sylvie, bringing him home was already too soon. Yet now, he even said he wanted to marry her. It seemed like her mother liked Lucien very much. Sylvie didn't dare to tell her that she never thought about marrying Lucien.
