Life at The Top novel Chapter 551

Jasper did not know how he should react to that.

“Uncle Schuler is very easy-going, and he doesn’t have much of a temper. He’s a very nice person, so we can be more relaxed. Else, we’ll appear to be overly formal.”

However, Jasper did not think that Charlie would glare at him when he said that.

“Nonsense! We must be polite. Although we aren’t going to ask for her father’s blessing this time, it’s still the first time both side’s parents are meeting. How can we treat this casually?”

Upon realizing that Charlie was going to take this extremely seriously, Jasper said helplessly, “Perhaps we could prepare some gifts?”

Charlie pinched his chin and raised an eyebrow before saying, “He’s a tycoon and has probably received all kinds of expensive presents before. If we gave him wine and tobacco as we usually do, he would probably just laugh at us… Never mind, I’ll consult the elders and see what I should do in such situations.”

Jasper sighed and said, “Dad, what are you so nervous about? Uncle Schuler might be one of the richest people in the province, but I’m not that far behind either. We’re not trying to claim connections with him. There’s no need to be so nervous.”

“What? He’s the richest person in the province?!” Charlie immediately ignored everything else when he heard that, and his eyes widened as he spoke.

Charlie, who had been a farmer for most of his life until Jasper made it big, had rarely even seen a large stack of cash with his own eyes. The richest man in the province was on the same level as a king to him… They were all legends he had never heard of before.

“That was in the past. Right now, it’s probably me, your son.” Jasper grinned as he spoke and tried to ease Charlie’s stress and nerves.
