Xia Qingshu transmigrated into a book. He was now the beautiful, arrogant, but slow-witted cannon fodder that always antagonised the protagonist shou. Finally, after a retaliation, he met a very mi...
Chapter 84 Chasing Wife and Meeting Parents
The two parties formally met
The next day, before dawn, there was movement in the Xia family.
Xia Jingchen Qixi was old and had trouble sleeping. He was worried and slept in a daze all night.
"Qixi, you're meeting your parents so soon?" Xia Jing sighed, "Isn't it a bit too hasty?"
It had only been less than a week since they discovered Qingshu was pregnant and knew the child was Zhiyu, and suddenly they had to meet the parents, which made them very anxious.
He originally wanted to delay it, even if the child was born and they raised it, it didn't matter, he didn't want Qingshu to get married so soon.
Chen Qixi was wearing a facial mask and applying body lotion. Hearing this, she paused and said, "I don't want to either. I can see that Zhiyu is very sincere. Most importantly, Qingshu likes him, too."
Xia Jing sighed, "We hadn't done anything to Zhiyu yesterday, but Qingshu started to protect him. I'm afraid Qingshu will be bullied. Why don't we let them live at home after marriage? The house is big and can accommodate them. It will be inconvenient for Qingshu to be pregnant, and we can help take care of her. We can also help take care of the baby when she has one in the future."
"Don't give blind advice. Young people nowadays have their own ideas." Chen Qixi glared at him. "I think even though Zhiyu said he was willing to be a live-in son-in-law, he still wants to live alone with Qingshu. After a couple gets married and starts a new family, it's the perfect time for them to be happy. I'm afraid Zhiyu will not be careful and hurt Qingshu and the baby."
"Then I'll have to talk to Zhiyu about it later." Xia Jing thought for a moment, "Zhiyu is very considerate, maybe the wedding room is already ready."
Before six o'clock, Xia Jing was already dressed. Chen Qixi urged him, "Hubby, I still have a long time. Go check if the sons are up."
She is going to meet Chen Rao today, so she must put on a makeup that outshines him but not too revealing. This is a big project, so we have to take it slow.
When Xia Jing went out, he saw that his two sons had already gotten up. Xia Shan was trying on clothes and changing his tie in the room, and Xia Ji was taking a shower. Xia Jing was very satisfied. He turned to Qingshu's door and found that Qingshu was still sleeping, so he left quietly.
Xia Qingshu slept very uneasily at night. When the baby was older, he always liked to kick her stomach in the middle of the night.
Xia Qingshu wondered if she was pregnant with a baby who liked to get up in the middle of the night to go clubbing.
What if the baby doesn’t sleep in the middle of the night after birth?
Fortunately, the baby only kicked twice in the middle of the night and then stopped moving. When Xia Qingshu opened his eyes, the clock showed exactly ten o'clock.
He sat up dazedly, rubbed his eyes, and suddenly remembered that something important happened today.
He is going to meet his parents officially!
He quickly got up, washed up, and put on the small suit that Chen Qixi had prepared for him. After everything was ready, he went downstairs and saw that Chen Qixi and Xia Jing were all ready. The whole family was dressed up in jewels and precious stones, and it was obvious that they had made careful preparations.
Xia Qingshu felt a little embarrassed for making his family wait for so long. "Sorry to have kept you waiting. Let's go."
Chen Qixi crossed her legs like an elegant lady, "Qingshu, have breakfast first, take your time, we are not in a hurry."
They can't make it seem like they are in a hurry to get married. The Chen family has to urge them at least three times before they leave.
"Let them wait a little longer and test their patience."
After saying that, Chen Qixi asked his aunt to serve breakfast. Xia Qingshu sat down to eat obediently and secretly sent a message to Brother Zhiyu.
Before he finished eating, Xia Laoer and his family arrived.
No matter what, Xia Laoer is Qingshu's adoptive father, and he has to inform him of such an important matter as meeting his parents.
Xia Laoer is an honest and simple man. When he suddenly heard that Qingshu was going to get married and meet his parents, he excitedly dragged his whole family here. When Xia Qingshu made an important event, Uncle Xia and Old Man Xia's family also came along. Although Uncle Xia and Old Man Xia's family were eccentric, they were as timid as quails in front of a real wealthy family.
Chen Qixi felt that with more people they had more momentum, so after knocking on Uncle Xia and Old Man Xia’s door, he prepared to take them with him. Let the Chen family see that their Xia family is large and prosperous, and it is all thanks to Qingshu's support.
When Xia Qingshu finished his breakfast and was about to leave, he was surprised to find that so many people were following him.
Not only the Xia family got up early, the Chen family also got up before five o'clock.
Chen Rao was crushed by Chen Qixi last time and had no power to fight back. This time, he must put on a makeup that is both dignified and beautiful, and looks imposing even if he is standing on the top of a snowy mountain.
After putting on makeup and changing clothes, the family of three sat in the living room, ready for action.
I sat there from 7:30 to 10:00 and there was no movement.
Chen Rao's butt was numb from sitting there, and finally at 10:15, he made the first call to Chen Rao.
When Chen Rao learned that more than a dozen people from the Xia family would come, he felt that he had already lost half the battle.
Compared with the bustling and prosperous Xia family, the Chen family seemed much more simple. She led the dwarf Mazude and the cat Maozi into the living room.
Chen Zhiyu looked at his mother's mess and said, "Mom, you'd better not bring the horse into the room. It smells."
Chen Rao: "How can there be any smell? Zude just took a bath and smells delicious. If you don't believe me, smell it. Zhiyu, what are you going to do now?"
Chen Zhiyu put down the tablet in his hand and said, "I'm going to change my coat. The cuffs of this one are a bit pilling."
Chen Qianxing adjusted his beard in front of the phone camera, "Zhiyu, you've changed three sets of clothes, be more stable."
Chen Zhiyu looked down at the hem of his clothes and frowned, "It's a little wrinkled." After saying that, he went upstairs to change his clothes.
Chen Rao put the cub on Zude's back and couldn't help but call Chen Qixi again. When he learned that the Chen family would set out in half an hour, his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
When Chen Zhiyu changed his clothes and went downstairs again, he saw Chen Rao calling his sister. Seeing Zhiyu, Chen Rao covered the phone and asked, "Zhiyu, we have too few family members. Let Achen come over to make up for the crowd. What do you think?"
Chen Zhiyu's eyes flashed, and he refused without even thinking, "No!"
Chen Rao pressed his index finger against his temples and said to the phone, "I told you it's not possible. Achen likes Qingshu. How could Zhiyu agree?"
Although she tried her best to sound sad, a hint of pride still showed through her words.
After hanging up the phone, she immediately arranged a lunch gathering. After everything was ready, she envied with all her heart, "Our Chen family is really too small. I just had a second call with Chen Rao, and they are going to have 50 relatives coming."
Chen Rao felt his head buzzing, "Why are there so many people in the Xia family?"
Chen Zhiyu thought for a moment and said, "Let's call ** and Chen Xing's families over to help attract some attention."
With more people, it seems more grand.
He went home last night and had another talk with Chen Rao. As a son, he cannot interfere with his parents' social life and can only express his own ideas.
** and Chen Xing's families praised Chen Rao every day with the purpose of adopting a child. Half of Chen Rao's outdated and weird ideas came from these two families.
He called the man over today and knocked on it himself.
Chen Rao shook his head and answered firmly, "If we don't call them, what's the point of calling them?"
Chen Rao later reflected on her extreme behavior. In order to welcome her daughter-in-law, she had just made up her mind to break off all ties with those so-called relatives, but Zhiyu asked her to call them over.
Is it to test her?
"Tell them to come and see my engagement, to see that our Chen family has a successor." Chen Zhiyu said, "Don't keep them for dinner, let them leave after the meeting."
Chen Rao suddenly realized that this was to make them purely tools.
The son is indeed a ruthless capitalist. He will suck the last drop of blood from them before cutting off all ties with them.
At exactly twelve o'clock, the Xia family's ten cars stopped at the gate of the Chen family's villa.
Ten luxury cars were lined up in a row, and members of the Xia family got out of the cars one after another. Xia Jing's family, Xia Jing's elder brother and younger brother's families, Xia Laoer's family, and Xia Dabo and Xia Laotou's families, there were a lot of people.
There are only a few people on the Chen family's side, plus some relatives from the remote area, so it looks very small.
Chen Qixi walked in front with Xia Qingshu on her arm. She wore a set of light-colored jewelry around her neck and had a light and elegant makeup, which made her look particularly noble.
Following closely behind her were the relatives of the Xia family, who looked like a graceful and elegant big sister, beautiful and heroic.
Chen Rao drew very thick eyeliner today, and the tails of her eyes were upturned. With this makeup, she looked particularly imposing, but when compared with Chen Qixi, she looked like a villain.
When they reached the door, Chen Qixi elegantly extended her hand and shook hands with Chen Rao, "Hello, mother-in-law."
After shaking hands, she turned to introduce her relatives to Chen Rao. "This is Qingshu's great uncle. His family runs a hotel chain with hundreds of five-star hotels across the country. This is Qingshu's uncle. His family is in the oil industry, but they don't make much money, only a few billion yuan in profit a year. This is Qingshu's cousin. He's in the new energy industry. I don't understand much either, but I heard he's a leader in some industry..."
Faced with so many relatives, Chen Rao's face almost froze from smiling. After greeting them one by one, she still didn't sort out the relationships among them. In a word, these are Qingshu's closest relatives, those who are related by blood. If Qingshu is bullied in the slightest, they will all help.
After Chen Qixi finished the introduction, he looked behind Chen Rao with a smile and said, "Mother-in-law, please introduce your relatives as well."
Chen Rao looked at ** and Chen Xing and his group behind him.
These are the descendants of Chen Zhiyu’s great-grandfather’s adopted sons. Not only are they not related by blood to them, but their family background is also not impressive.
They all rely on their family to earn a living, and they can't be compared with the relatives of the Xia family.
Chen Rao suddenly realized that the quality of relatives is more important than their quantity.
She began to regret calling these people here.
Chen Rao laughed awkwardly, "These are distant relatives. They are not even remotely related."
Chen Qixi also knew about these annoying relatives of the Chen family. She half-squinted her eyes, glanced at these relatives holding the baby, and smiled, "Distant relatives, then there is no need to interact with them."
** and Chen Xing's hands shaking while holding the child, almost dropped the child.
They suddenly heard that Chen Zhiyu was getting married, and they didn't believe it. When they heard that it was a boy, they still held on to a glimmer of hope of adopting a child. They didn't expect that the mother-in-law was so powerful and directly told them to stop having any contact with him.
**The mother held her grandson in her arms and put him in Chen Rao's arms.
Chen Rao was startled, as if the other party was some poisonous creature, and suddenly jumped up and hid to the side.
Chen's remote relatives: "......"
Chen Rao: Don’t try to scam me. These hands of mine are for holding my own grandchildren, not other people’s grandchildren.
