When the dishes were finally served, Li Tong and Wang Xu exchanged a look and obediently “served” Wang Xu’s parents.

Wang Xu’s heart could never once relax, afraid that her parents would raise some strange questions at any moment.

Fortunately, the meal was finished without any incidents, and Wang Xu finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Before dessert was served after the meal, Wang Xu’s father finally opened his mouth. “Your name is Li Tong?”

Li Tong quickly nodded and replied, “Yes sir!”

“What do you do for a living?” Wang Xu’s father asked sternly.

Li Tong quickly replied, “I’m a police officer, sir.”

“Police officer? Isn’t that very dangerous?” Wang Xu’s mother suddenly opened her mouth.

Li Tong paused for a moment before saying, “Ah, it’s alright, it’s alright…”

Wang Xu looked at Li Tong awkwardly before looking at her father. She protested unhappily, “Father! Why are you asking such a question!”

When Wang Xu’s father heard this, he frowned slightly. He glanced at Wang Xu and continued to ask, “How many people are there in your family?”

Li Tong quickly laughed and said, “I live with my mother.”

“Single parent?” Wang Xu’s mother also frowned.

Li Tong thought for a moment and said, “When I was young, my parents got divorced. Now, I live with my mother.”

Wang Xu’s mother did not seem to like that. She frowned deeply and did not let go.

The expression on Wang Xu’s face became even more awkward. She did not know how to deal with this situation.

Wang Xu’s father did not give them any room. “What do your parents do?”

Wang Xu felt that her father’s question was a little rude, so she opened her mouth to protest.

However, Li Tong gently pressed down on Wang Xu’s hand and answered honestly, “My parents are ordinary workers.”

Wang Xu’s father’s expression obviously stiffened up. “They don’t have any particular family background.”

When Wang Xu heard that, her expression finally changed. “Dad!”

Wang Xu’s mother also noticed that Wang Xu was angry, but she also wanted to know about Li Tong’s family situation.

Li Tong took a deep breath and smiled at Wang Xu’s parents. “We’re not particularly rich, but it shouldn’t be difficult for Wang Xu to live a stable life.”

Wang Xu’s mother snorted. “Those are easy words to say, but can you really do it?

“If you can’t do it, then don’t bluff your way out!” Wang Xu’s mother looked at Li Tong sternly.

Wang Xu stood up and pulled Li Tong out.

Li Tong grabbed Wang Xu’s hand and said to her parents, “Uncle and aunt, we’ve had enough for today’s meal. Why don’t I send you back first?”

Wang Xu’s father wanted to say something, but Li Tong had already raised his hand and called for the waiter.

In front of Wang Xu’s parents, Li Tong paid nearly three hundred yuan for the meal. He stood up and held Wang Xu’s hand.

“Uncle and aunt, let’s go!” Li Tong smiled politely at Wang Xu’s parents.

Wang Xu’s parents saw that Li Tong had not even blinked while handing over three hundred yuan to the waiter. He even said that there was no need for change. He looked like a rich young master from a TV series.

However, Li Tong’s family background had just been clearly explained, which made Wang Xu’s parents doubt him.

When the group of people walked out of the restaurant, Li Tong said to Wang Xu, “Wait a moment, I’ll get our ride.”

When he heard that Li Tong was going to drive, Wang Xu’s father snorted and said, “Is he talking of public transportation?”

“Yeah! How would a bus pull up so conveniently!” Wang Xu’s mother also muttered in disapproval.

Wang Xu ignored them and only looked in the direction where Li Tong had left.

Not long after, a private car stopped in front of the three of them.

Wang Xu said to her parents, “Dad, Mom, get in the car!”

Wang Xu’s parents looked at the car parked in front of them in surprise. Although they could not tell what kind of car it was, it was too sleek and glossy to look cheap!

Wang Xu’s parents looked at each other, pulled open the car door, and sat in it.

Li Tong turned around and smiled at Wang Xu’s parents. “Uncle and aunt, we’re a little pressed for time today, so we’ve inconvenienced you.

“I’ll go with Wang Xu to visit you next time!” After Li Tong said that, without waiting for Wang Xu’s parents to react, he turned around and started the car.

Wang Xu’s parents sat in the car. Seeing that everything in the car was as good as new, the expression on their faces gradually changed.

They drove all the way to Wang Xu’s house. Li Tong parked the car, opened the door, and got out.

Wang Xu’s parents also got out and stood in front of their own house. Finally, they had smiles on their faces.

“Well, Little Li, you must come and see Wang Xu more often!” Wang Xu’s mother said to Li Tong.

Li Tong smiled and replied, “Okay! I will!”

“By the way, is this car yours?” Wang Xu’s father did not forget to confirm.

Li Tong smiled and nodded. “The previous one was a little old. I just brought this one two days ago!”

Wang Xu’s father looked at the car again and nodded to himself. “Okay! Okay!”

Seeing that her parents had finally calmed down and were walking into the house, Wang Xu could not help but sigh.

She turned around and faced Li Tong. “I’m really sorry about today!”

Li Tong gently pulled her into her arms.. “It’s okay.”
