"Then...then..."
Even if we take a step back and say that...
Ji Xingyang still felt: "Isn't it a bit too fast to let the two of them live together?"
Xiang Qiuhuan scoffed, "Your daughter is already twenty, not fifteen, sixteen, or seventeen. Two adults should know what they should be doing."
Ji Xingyang got angry: "Age is one thing, but besides—I'm just worried that our daughter will suffer!"
What's the loss?
Xiang Qiuhuan thought to herself.
That's the guy your daughter was pursuing... Your daughter is practically inseparable from Xiao Lu.
But she was still considerate of her husband and didn't want to upset him, so she didn't say anything.
Xiang Qiuhuan's eyebrows curved, and her smile was gentle:
"That's one of the things I admire about Xiao Lu—you really think your wife is a fool, forcing our daughter into marriage like that. Our daughter is so beautiful..."
Ji Xingyang felt somewhat more at ease hearing this.
After he hummed in agreement, Xiang Qiuhuan continued:
"I've checked the accounts with Qian'er. She hasn't used much of the money in her card—just normal expenses, you could even say she's been frugal. As for the rest… I asked her about it too, and Xiao Lu said she needs to meet us first—oh, speaking of which, that's the same thing someone said back then. No wonder I like this child so much~"
As she spoke, Xiang Qiuhuan winked at the person who was deep in thought.
The person smiled slightly, then coughed a few times, and spoke with a firmer tone:
"That's only right! A man should be responsible—what kind of man is he if he's not!"
"So, Lu is a really good kid. Our Qian'er is not bad, but she's too stubborn. If you miss out on such a good kid, you'll probably have to wait decades to get her to like someone again."
“So what if it’s a few decades? It’s not like I can’t afford to support her…” Ji Xingyang muttered.
"Oh, so someone married the girl of their youth and now wants to take away her happiness—Old Ji, do you think that's right?" Xiang Qiuhuan asked.
Old Ji remained silent.
While he was thinking, Xiang Qiuhuan continued to whisper sweet nothings in his ear:
“Young Lu will be staying for a while, which will be enough time for us to see what kind of person he is—Boss Ji, you don’t doubt your own judgment, do you?”
"..."
"Don't always wear that sullen face, it makes Xiao Lu unhappy. First impressions are important. If he and your daughter are really good to each other for life, do you want your daughter to be stuck in the middle of you two and make things difficult for her?" Xiang Qiuhuan said.
Ji Xingyang thought for a moment before saying:
"become."
"Well, as for today... what's past is past. I've already asked Qingqian to find out what Xiao Lu thinks of you—I'll try to salvage the situation if I can."
"no."
Ji Xingyang was furious. Why did he have to put up with that kid's attitude when he tried to take his daughter away? Besides, "Was I being unreasonable today?!"
Xiang Qiuhuan said, "To give an example, it's probably like what my dad looked like when you first came to my house."
Ji Xingyang was shocked: "It's this bad?!"
“It’s not just bad, it’s absolutely terrible. Right now, Xiao Lu and Qian’er are probably secretly cursing you,” Xiang Qiuhuan said.
Ji Xingyang's face twisted slightly. He could let that kid curse, but Qingqian probably wouldn't…
Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiang Qiuhuan could tell what her husband was thinking, and she said calmly, "I'll definitely say a few words in agreement... Think about how I was back then."
Ji Xingyang: !!
—Continue to distort.
Xiang Qiuhuan picked up her vibrating phone, said "It's Qingqian" to her husband, and then turned on speakerphone.
Xiang Qiuhuan didn't waste any words and went straight to the point with Qing Qian.
"What did Xiao Lu say?"
On Ji Qingqian's end:
"Abei said, Dad is fine... no, not just fine, he's very good, a very good father, and a very kind elder."
Xiang Qiuhuan: ?
She exchanged a glance with Old Man Ji behind her.
Old Man Ji's eyes clearly showed he was talking nonsense.
Xiang Qiuhuan said again, "Qian'er, don't speak up for Xiao Lu. Can't you see what your dad is like today? Just tell the truth, so I can get your dad to change and treat Xiao Lu better."
“That’s what Abei said,” Ji Qingqian said.
“Then don’t let that brat flatter you. Your dad doesn’t fall for that!” Ji Xingyang said.
How novel! Who would believe that?
There's a reason for that.
Ji Qingqian said, "Let's not talk about 'a very good father' for now..."
Ji Xingyang: ...
Why have you stopped talking? Why don't you start talking then!
"Abei feels that Dad is very kind to him because he said—"
“‘I don’t have much of a chance to meet someone as powerful as Uncle Ji, but because of my parents’ profession, I have at least learned about some big bosses. Let alone bosses, anyone with a little achievement might take advantage of that achievement to bully others and act arrogantly. No matter the occasion or the person they are dealing with, they will use their achievements to their advantage.’”
"To put it simply, Uncle Ji is like a father to you, but in front of me, he only acts as Ji Qingqian's father."
“I can tell that Uncle Ji doesn’t really like me, but he only dislikes me because of his status as Ji Qingqian’s father.”
"Instead of telling me, 'Look at your status now, you brat, and who I am? You think you can be my daughter's boyfriend?'"
"He's very simple-minded, like a father who doesn't like his daughter's boyfriend."
“I could also sense his authority as an elder.”
