chapter 7 : Hot sister-in-law

"Helena Lu rolled her eyes at Eiland and said, 'Don't be so self-absorbed, okay? Sit in the back. I've prepared a set of clothes for you. You can't be too casual when meeting my parents.'
Eiland glanced at the back seat and indeed saw a set of clothes, complete with shoes and socks. He couldn't help but ask curiously, 'Principal Lu, this is our first time meeting, how do you know what size clothes and shoes I wear?'
Helena Lu glanced at Eiland and said, 'I think your body shape is similar to my dad's, so I bought clothes according to the specifications I use when buying clothes for him.'
'In that case, your father must be in good shape!'
'Just change into them and stop talking?' Helena Lu patted her forehead. When they were in the office, she thought this guy seemed quite principled and not much of a talker. But after getting in the car, why did he become so talkative?
Eiland smiled and then went to the back seat to change his clothes.
While changing, Eiland deliberately covered himself up. Helena Lu, sitting in the driver's seat, said irritably, 'Could you change a bit faster? Don't worry, I'm not interested in your body. I won't peek.'
'Cough, I can't help it. My body is just too good. I'm afraid it might be too attractive for you.'
'...'
Helena Lu was completely speechless at Eiland's words. She had seen self-absorbed people before, but never one this extreme.
Three minutes later, Eiland finally changed into a brand-new casual suit and leather shoes. He then returned to the front seat. Helena Lu looked over and couldn't help but be a little dazzled. The saying 'clothes make the man' was fully demonstrated on Eiland. His original appearance was a bit outdated, but now, with modern clothes on, he looked completely transformed.
'How do I look? Handsome, right?' Eiland asked proudly.
'Average,' Helena Lu replied coldly, turning her face away to conceal her surprise. Then she asked, 'By the way, can you change your glasses or just not wear them?'
'I can change them, but I have to wear them. Otherwise, it might be a problem.'
'Why, is your near-sightedness very severe?'
Eiland shook his head. 'No, it's just that if I don't wear glasses, I might look too handsome and attractive. It could cause an uproar on the streets. For the safety of others, I'd better wear glasses.'
'...'
Helena Lu chose to ignore Eiland's behaviour, which had reached the pinnacle of self-absorption.
Next, Helena Lu drove Eiland to a chain glasses store, planning to choose a new pair of glasses for him. However, no matter how they browsed, they couldn't find a suitable pair. Suddenly, she had an idea and asked, 'Hey, can you accept contact lenses?'
'I can, but... it might take some time to get them made, right?'
Eiland shrugged nonchalantly.
Helena Lu pursed her lips, took Eiland to the counter, and said, 'Make a pair of contact lenses for him. It must be done within an hour. Money is not a problem.'
'Huh?'
The salesclerk at the glasses store was momentarily stunned, but then surprisingly agreed.
Eiland's mouth hung open in shock. It was indeed different when dealing with a wealthy person. Helena Lu's statement, 'Money is not a problem,' was particularly compelling. Who would dare to speak like that? Only someone with wealth and confidence would. This was truly a classic example of showing off.
As expected, the glasses store managed to prepare a pair of contact lenses for Eiland within an hour.
'Miss, you should have gotten your boyfriend a pair of contact lenses long ago. He looks much better now,' the salesclerk said excitedly to Helena Lu. She said this partly to please Helena Lu and partly because Eiland, now dressed in a brand-new designer suit, and without his slightly outdated glasses, looked extremely handsome.
Helena Lu snorted. 'He's not my boyfriend.'
'Oh, then...'
'He's just my family's nanny.'
'Ah?!'
In the astonished gaze of the female clerk, Helena Lu paid and left with Eiland. When they returned to the car, Eiland had completely changed his style. This was beyond Helena Lu's expectations. She had chosen Eiland because she thought he was relatively simple and plain. But now, it seemed that with just a little sprucing up, this guy actually had quite some potential!
Of course, such transformation was within Eiland’s expectation.
When Eiland was an instructor at Long Scale, he was liked by many female students. However, the strict military rules at Long Scale prevented him from being involved with any of them. Now that he was on the run, he wanted to keep a low profile. But it seemed that his hidden sharpness was gradually being uncovered by Helena Lu.
After about an hour's drive, they arrived in Tong City.
The cool sports car entered an upscale residential area. Inside the car, Helena Lu took out some health products and gifts and handed them to Eiland. She said, 'When you meet my parents, just say you bought these gifts. As for any questions they ask you, you know how to respond, right?'
'Everything is going according to the script. It'll be fine.' Eiland smiled. On the way, Helena Lu even gave him a document. It contained information about Helena Lu's family, as well as the identity she had arranged for Eiland.
Self-made, CEO of an internet company. That was Eiland's current identity.
Helena Lu looked at Eiland and said, still somewhat worried, 'You must familiarize yourself with the information I gave you. Also, you shouldn't call me Principal Lu anymore. Just call me Helena.'
'Alright, Helena, let's go. Your parents are probably getting anxious.' Eiland said, then took Helena Lu's hand and started walking.
'Snap!' Helena Lu instinctively slapped Eiland's hand and glared at him. 'Who told you to touch me?'
'What's wrong? Is holding hands not allowed?'
Eiland gentlemanly let go of her hand. Then he said to Helena Lu, 'I bet Principal Lu, you've never been in love, right? Holding hands is a completely normal thing between lovers. If we don’t even hold our hands, won't your parents get suspicious?'
'Well...'
Blushing, Helena Lu had to admit that Eiland's words were right. She had become the principal of MuLan Middle at the age of twenty-seven, thanks to her talent and diligence. Over the years, she had never been in a relationship. It was only because her family was pressuring her that she had resorted to finding Eiland. But she had never considered that they would hold hands.
Finally, Helena Lu gritted her teeth and said, 'Fine, but only holding hands.'
'That's more like it!' Eiland smiled and grabbed Helena Lu's hand again, heading towards the elevator.
Helena Lu was also extremely nervous. Honestly, this was the first time she had been held by a strange man like this. So, the normally stern and icy Helena Lu now had a blush creeping up her face.
'Sis!'
Just as the two were about to enter the elevator, a woman suddenly walked over, patted Helena Lu's shoulder, and then bounced over to them.
'Future sister-in-law?'
When Eiland saw this woman, he couldn't help but swallow. According to the information provided by Helena Lu, this girl was a model. Since she was a model, one could imagine how hot her figure was. However, the photo included in the information only hinted at this future sister-in-law's attractiveness. Now, standing in front of Eiland, Grace Lu’s level of hotness completely exceeded Eiland's expectations."
