The two left the villa. On the way, Lu Jing mentioned that Mr. Liang was going to hold a family reunion banquet for Zhou Qian, in order to let the outside world know that the Liang family had a young lady like Zhou Qian.

In fact, Zhou Qian didn't care. She would rather keep a low profile. But her grandfather didn't want to and insisted that the whole Yunzhou know about her existence.

"Mom and Grandpa have been preparing the invitations these past two days. The date should be set at the beginning of next month."

Lu Jing held her hand and asked, "Would you like to introduce me, your gigolo, to you?"

Zhou Qian couldn't help but want to laugh, "If you're so kind, I don't mind."

Lu Jing didn't respond, but stroked the ring on her hand with his fingers, "Do you like it?"

Zhou Qian was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was asking about the ring, "What material is this ring made of?"

This time, it was Lu Jing who was stunned by the question, "Are diamonds made of different materials?"

He didn't know much about this, so he just asked someone to design a style, and he asked someone to buy the pink diamond from an auction abroad.

Zhou Qian said, "I've only heard of diamonds being graded. Yours should be made of crystal or glass, right?"

“Click—”

There was a sudden brake sound, and Lu Jing was glad that he didn't step on the accelerator instead of the brake. But in her eyes, he was so poor that he bought an engagement ring made of crystal glass.

Zhou Qian was rushed out by the sudden brake and bounced back, complaining, "What are you doing!"

Lu Jing took a breath and said calmly, "You overestimate me. I can't afford crystal and glass. This is made of plastic. Pure plastic."

"Plastic?" Zhou Qian was stunned. He raised his hand and looked at it again and again. "Can diamonds be made from plastic? This is too realistic!"

Lu Jing was so angry at her that he almost died. She mistook the pink diamond worth tens of millions for crystal, glass, and large plastic.

…

December 6th, the weather is fine and everything is going well.

Mr. Liang held a family reunion banquet for Zhou Qian on this day. Although he wanted to show off his precious granddaughter, he also followed Zhou Qian's wishes and held it in a low-key manner.

So we only invited some better friends and relatives. Of course, these friends and relatives were also well-known figures in Yunzhou.

Liang Hui and Liu Yalu selected more than a dozen high-end dresses and jewelry from abroad for Zhou Qian, and also gave all the shares of their company to Zhou Qian.

Zhou Qian was flattered, but she refused the equity on the grounds that she was not good at management.

Liang Hui and his wife did not make things difficult for her, because in the end it would all be hers anyway.

As the protagonist, Zhou Qian was not used to being surrounded by people all day. She wanted to find Lu Jing, but there were too many people and she couldn't find him for a while.

Just then, a phone call from an unfamiliar number rescued her from the crowd.

Zhou Qian picked up the call in a less crowded place. "Hello, who is this?"

"Xiao Qian, it's me."

Zhou Qian immediately recognized Zhou Zhicheng's voice. Many media came to today's family reunion banquet, and the notice was given in advance, so it was not surprising that Zhou Zhicheng knew about it.

"What's up?"

Zhou Zhicheng quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay. I, I just wanted to say congratulations to you in person."

Zhou Qian was silent for a while, then said, "Thank you!"

There was a sudden silence on the phone.

A moment later, Zhou Zhicheng's voice came again, "I plan to take your aunt back to her hometown to recuperate. The doctor said her condition is stable now. As long as she takes her medicine on time, she should be fine."

Zhou Qian was surprised, "Why do you want to go back suddenly?"

"I'm old now and want to go back and live a stable life."

Zhou Qian felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. "The medical conditions back home are not as good as here. I suggest you stay here."

"We are ashamed to live in the same city with you."

"Although I can't convince myself to forgive you, I won't hate you either. You raised me, and I will fulfill my responsibilities."

"No, no, no, we don't need you to fulfill your responsibilities. I've already found a good job back home, and I have no problem supporting two people."

Since Zhou Zhicheng had already made up his mind, Zhou Qian didn't say anything more. "You can always call me if you have any questions."

"Hey!" Zhou Zhicheng responded, "You have to take care of yourself too. You have a bad stomach, so you have to eat on time and avoid eating raw or cold food."

Zhou Qian's defense suddenly broke down, tears welling up in her eyes, "You too."

He hung up the phone in a hurry.

When Lu Jing came over, Zhou Qian's eyes were still red.

"What's wrong?" he asked nervously.

Zhou Qian was in a low mood. "Zhou Zhicheng just called me and said he was going to take Zhang Landi back to his hometown."

Lu Jing rubbed her head and asked, "Can't bear to leave?"

Zhou Qian shook his head, "It's just a little uncomfortable."

Lu Jing held her in his arms and understood her feelings. Although she felt resentful, they were relatives who had lived together for so many years. It was inevitable that she would feel sad to be separated from her.

"Don't worry, I've had someone transfer a sum of money to Zhou Zhicheng, enough for their retirement."

Zhou Qian looked up, "He accepted it?"

Lu Jing saw displeasure in her eyes. She must be angry that Zhou Zhicheng took his money. He explained, "Zhou Zhicheng was hit by a car a while ago..."

"How is he?" Zhou Qian interrupted him nervously.

"Don't worry, he's fine. He just has some minor fractures in his shoulder and neck. He'll be fine after some rest."

Zhou Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

"That money was given to him in the name of compensation, and he didn't know about it."

Zhou Qian felt warm in his heart, "Thank you."

Lu Jing smiled, "He's half a father-in-law, as he should be."

Zhou Qian was amused by him. Knowing that Zhou Zhicheng was not short of money, she felt much better.

Looking at the tall and handsome man in front of her, he always knew what she needed.

…

During lunch, Mr. Liang formally introduced Zhou Qian's identity to the guests present.

Although Zhou Qian felt a little uncomfortable, he was calm and composed throughout the whole process. On the contrary, Mr. Liang's introduction was passionate, as if he wanted to let the whole world know.

After Zhou Qian briefly introduced herself to the guests, she decided to take this opportunity to make her relationship with Lu Jing public.

After all, she had been hiding the fact that Lu Jing had proposed to her.

Zhou Qian put down the phone and said calmly, "Grandpa, Mom and Dad, I want to take advantage of this auspicious day to announce something to you."

"What's up?"

When Zhou Qian looked at Lu Jing, Lu Jing had already come to her side as if he had understood her mind, and they smiled at each other.

Zhou Qian held Lu Jing's hand with a sweet smile on her face. "I have already accepted Lu Jing's proposal. I hope you can bless us."

Liang Hui and his wife, as well as Mr. Liang, were all shocked. They originally thought that they were going to announce their relationship, but they didn't expect them to act so quickly.

"Blessings, of course I have to." Liu Yalu reacted first. She excitedly held Zhou Qian's hand and said, "You are mom and dad's precious daughter. As long as you are happy, mom and dad will support you."

"Thank you, Mom and Dad." Zhou Qian smiled happily.

Liang Lao was happy for them in his heart, but he said to Lu Jing unconvincedly, "You little brat, you're pretty good."

"Thank you for the compliment, Grandpa. I'll play a few more games of chess with you later."

Liang Lao snorted, "Who cares?"

Lu Jing just smiled and said nothing.
