The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 368
Advertisement
When the Turners tried to get close to Kenneth and told him that there was a ravishing beauty in the family, Kenneth was indifferent because he thought that they were just exaggerating.
But now that he had met Cheyenne in person, he was indeed rather tempted because he finally saw how gorgeous she was.
But he didn't expect that she would ignore a dreamboat like him and insistently defend her husband, whom he thought was a freeloading good-for-nothing.
He wasn't bothered because he had gotten used to seeing women who liked throwing themselves at him, so a little challenge would be interesting!
Although he wouldn't marry a divorced woman, he wouldn't mind playing around with her for the sake of her beauty.
"Kenneth, don't worry. That man is just a good-for-nothing. My grandparents will never allow them to stay married. We'll soon be able to watch a good show!" Nikki said gloatingly.
Kenneth smiled. "Since there's going to be a good show, we can't miss it."
Then he took the lead to enter through the gate while Nikki tagged along behind him.
There were two almost identical villas inside.
The one on the left was occupied by Cheyenne's maternal grandparents, while the one on the right was occupied by Cheyenne's uncle.
Cheyenne's maternal grandparents had a total of three children, with the eldest being Cheyenne's mother, Karen; followed by Nikki's mother, Gretchen; and lastly, Cheyenne's uncle, Alex.
The groom-to-be was Alex's son, Dylan Turner.
The wedding was tomorrow, but many of the Turners lived in other states, so they had all arrived a day in advance so that they wouldn't miss the wedding.
At this moment, they were all chatting merrily in the farmhouse villa belonging to Cheyenne's maternal grandparents.
Cheyenne brought Lucas and Amelia into the villa, and as soon as they entered, the relatives immediately looked at them.

"Hey, it's Cheyenne!"
"Cheyenne, we haven't seen each other in a few years. You've gotten prettier and prettier, just like your mother!"
"Quick, Cheyenne, Charlotte, and this adorable daughter of yours… Her name is Amelia, right? Quickly, come in and have a seat!"
...
Many of the relatives greeted them warmly while showering them with compliments.
After all, these relatives had already heard that both Cheyenne and Charlotte were really competent, as they had become the general managers of large corporations. So they were much more enthusiastic about greeting them than before.
But none of them paid any attention to Lucas, who was following them, as if he wasn't present at all.
Cheyenne greeted all the elders in the room one by one. "Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt, Uncle…"
The few of them smiled and greeted Cheyenne and Charlotte with benevolent expressions.
But they similarly pretended not to notice Lucas' presence and didn't bother looking at him at all.
Cheyenne smiled bitterly in helplessness. Then she took the gifts from Lucas's hand and distributed them one by one.
"Grandpa, Lucas knows you love tea, so he specially bought you some superior-grade Da Hong Pao tea leaves. He went to great lengths to get some. Please try them." Cheyenne presented a bag of exquisitely packaged tea leaves to her grandfather.
"Grandma, Lucas knows you're a devout Buddhist, so he has specially brought you a finely carved Buddha statue from Angkor Wat." Cheyenne handed the Buddha statue placed in an exquisite sandalwood box to her grandmother.
"Uncle, this…"
...
Lucas had specially asked someone to prepare these gifts yesterday after learning that they were going to visit Cheyenne's maternal grandparents. He had even deliberately asked Cheyenne about the hobbies and interests of her relatives.
Cheyenne handed Lucas's thoughtful gifts to the elders and even explained clearly that Lucas was the one who had prepared them in hopes that they would change their minds about him on account of the value of these gifts.

But after hearing that the gifts were prepared by Lucas, the faces of the elders, who had just received the gifts enthusiastically, immediately turned sullen. They even showed looks of great disgust.
The bizarre tension immediately made everyone in the living room fall silent.
Cheyenne bit her lower lip and looked at the elders in front of her nervously. Seeing how displeased they were, she subconsciously grabbed Lucas's hand.
"Haha!" Cheyenne's grandfather suddenly sneered and threw the bag of tea leaves into the trash can!
"Grandpa!" Cheyenne was immediately astonished that her grandfather threw away such an expensive bag of tea leaves!
Of course, Cheyenne was not feeling the pinch. But rather, her grandfather's behavior was a clear insult to Lucas!
"Cheyenne, did you get a random bag of lousy tea leaves to fool me because you think I'm old and can't distinguish between fine-grade and inferior tea leaves?" Cheyenne's grandfather, Eddie, said disappointedly with a look of exasperation.
"Grandpa, how am I fooling you?" Cheyenne said aggrievedly.
"Hah, you claimed that that bag of tea leaves is Da Hong Pao tea leaves, yet you say that you're not fooling me!" Eddie snorted with an austere expression, "Da Hong Pao tea is the most expensive tea in the world. It is produced in rare amounts because the production process is very tedious. The highest price it has ever fetched is one-point-two million per kilogram!
"That bag of tea leaves you just gave me weighed at least several kilograms. How can a good-for-nothing like him who sponges off his wife afford to spend millions of dollars on tea leaves?!
"Yet you still have the cheek to say that you're not deceiving me with some lousy tea leaves?"
Eddie Turner was an avid tea drinker and had done adequate research on expensive tea types, so he was stating facts.
After hearing Eddie's analysis, many people in the living room looked at Lucas in disdain.
Hah, of all things, they tried to deceive Grandpa with tea leaves and claimed that they're of the best grade. Now they're getting exposed, huh?
Such an embarrassment!
Cheyenne was shocked too. Of course, she knew that Lucas definitely wouldn't have bought fake Da Hong Pao tea. She was shocked because Lucas had actually spent so much money on those tea leaves, which she originally thought were just ordinary store-bought tea leaves.
Seeing that her grandfather had tossed the tea leaves into the trash can like they were rubbish, even Cheyenne, who wasn't a tea lover, felt immense heartache. "Grandpa, these are definitely genuine tea leaves!"
"Enough!" Eddie smacked the table and hollered furiously with a frown, "Cheyenne, stop speaking up for this man and deceiving me! Do you think everyone believes that he can afford to spend a few million dollars on tea leaves?"
The relatives sneered contemptuously.
They would have believed it if Lucas had brought a gift worth a few hundred dollars. But they would never believe that he could afford to spend a few million dollars on a gift!
"I believe that those tea leaves are real!" At this moment, someone suddenly stood out and said this sentence.
Everyone in the living room immediately looked over.
