Chapter 70 Background Check

Qin Che was still waiting for them at home.

Everyone felt even more excited when they thought that he was also busy with this matter.

Upstairs, Grandma Shen opened the door and saw the two girls she had seen before. She clapped her thighs happily and said, "It's you!"

The old man's face was filled with a warm smile.

They also rented Xiao Zhu's room and paid such a high rent!

Grandma Shen found this incredible. She had never seen such a generous tenant.

They were still staying at Xiaozhu's place on Saturday!

These two little girls help her carry heavy things upstairs every time they come. They are such kind people!

These two girls are also very beautiful!

One of them, in particular, really stood out.

That’s great!

Grandma Shen’s face was filled with a joyful smile, and she took their hands and walked into the living room.

"Xiao Zhu told me that a friend of his wanted to rent a stall to do business and asked my husband, Uncle Qin, to help find a suitable location."

Grandma Shen said with a smile.

"If I had known that Xiao Zhu's friends were you two, I would have made him work even harder to find a better position!"

Grandma Shen’s tone was full of enthusiasm.

Zhu Jingchen smiled and said, "Grandma, actually, the location Uncle Qin found is already very good. It would be hard to find a better one."

After hearing this, Grandma Shen showed a kind smile on her face, “Then let’s keep looking, maybe there’s a better location.”

At this time, Grandma Shen thought of the fact that Zhu Jingchen was called out in the evening today, "Have you had dinner? There is still rice in the pot. If you are hungry, go and eat some."

Qin Che, who was drinking tea at the side, couldn't help but smile sourly, "Mom, I am your biological son."

He complained jokingly, "People thought Xiao Zhu was your biological son, or even your grandson."

Grandma Shen’s face darkened, and she was obviously unhappy, “Xiao Zhu is no different from our children.”

"We live upstairs and downstairs. With him around, we can still miss him a little bit."

"You're busy outside all day and rarely come home. I can't do anything to be nice to you!"

There was helplessness in Grandma Shen’s words.

Speaking of her grandson, she couldn't help but say to Qin Che, "If you had worked hard a few years earlier and started a family sooner, maybe your child would be in junior high school and could call Xiao Zhu brother!"

Qin Che's mother's words carried a hint of blame, but more of expectation.

In her opinion, if her son had been more proactive in finding a partner and getting married a few years earlier, he might have a teenager by now, and that child might be old enough to call Zhu Jingchen "brother".

Qin Che raised his hands in surrender. "Come on, Mom, don't mention this. I'm so comfortable being alone!"

He seemed unwilling to continue the topic and expressed his helplessness and rejection through exaggerated actions.

In his opinion, single life has a lot of freedom and personal space, and there are not so many things to worry about. This is the state of life he currently cherishes.

"Besides, the kids are here now, so let's not talk about my personal affairs."

Qin Che continued, his tone revealing his welcome for the child's arrival and his consideration for not wanting his personal affairs to affect the guests.

He knew it wasn't appropriate to discuss personal feelings or family plans at this moment, especially in front of someone he was meeting for the first time.

Grandma Shen slapped her thigh and said, “You’re right, the stall business is more important!”

She responded in an approving tone, as if realizing that instead of discussing her son's emotional problems, the focus right now should be on how to better run the snack stand business passed down in the family.

For the elderly, the family business is not just a means of making a living, but also a part of the family's glory.

Grandpa Qin corrected her with a smile, "No, eat first, and then we can talk after dinner."

Unlike his wife, Mr. Qin appears to be more gentle and patient. He believes that no matter how many things are waiting to be solved, one must first take care of his body and fill his stomach so that he can have enough energy to face everything that comes next.

Grandma Shen took Zhu Jingchen's hand and said, "Xiao Zhu, come to the kitchen with grandma and help me bring the food out."

She gently invited the young man to participate in household chores, hoping to bring them closer together through such a simple act.

In Chinese culture, working together often fosters mutual understanding and demonstrates close relationships among family members.

Shen Yan and Song Weiwei tried to stop Grandma Shen, saying that they were not actually hungry.

The two girls obviously did not want to cause trouble to the old man and tried to decline the kindness.

However, their humility did not change the elders' warm hospitality, but instead showed their good upbringing and politeness.

Qin Che saw through their thoughts and said, "It's okay. Eat something to fill your stomach first. You've worked hard all day."

He fully understood the two girls' concerns, and hoped that through his suggestions he could help everyone relax and enjoy a delicious meal.

In his opinion, eating properly can make people feel comfortable even when they are not very hungry, let alone after a busy day?

He smiled and said, "Also, Xiao Zhu hasn't had dinner yet. Your grandparents will definitely not let him go hungry."

In order to further eliminate the two women's inner uneasiness, Qin Che also specifically mentioned Zhu Jingchen's situation, stating that no matter what the reason, the guests should not suffer.

Shen Yan and Song Weiwei glanced at each other.

Through eye contact, the two quickly reached a consensus - in the face of such a warm family atmosphere, insisting on one's own opinion would be impolite.

So they finally decided to accept this kind invitation.

Shen Yan smiled and said, "Okay then, I'll trouble Grandpa, Grandma and Uncle Qin."

She expressed her and her companions' gratitude with a sweet smile, and also did not forget to thank all the adults present as a sign of respect.

Qin Che waved his hand, "It's a small matter."

In his opinion, these are the most ordinary things in daily life and there is no need to be overly polite.

In the kitchen, Grandma Shen asked Zhu Jingchen in a low voice, "Xiao Zhu, which of those two girls do you like?"

This sudden question instantly added a sense of mystery to the originally calm and harmonious atmosphere.

The old man's curiosity was fully aroused, but for the younger generation, it is not easy to ask someone about their personal preferences so directly.

Zhu Jingchen's ears turned red.

Obviously this question touched the most sensitive part of his heart.

Even with a smile on her face, she couldn't hide the blush of shyness.

But this was obviously not a topic he could talk about casually, so as not to offend anyone.

As a sensible and polite young man, Zhu Jingchen knew that he had to be cautious when answering such questions so as not to inadvertently hurt other people's feelings or cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Zhu Jingchen said seriously: "Grandma, this is really not the case. We are just friends."

Grandma Shen teased him and said, “Oh, look at how red your face is, and you still want to tell me this?”
