Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has quietly arrived, the crucial day of Saturday.
Qin Yunie sat in Qu Qingzhu's car, his hands unconsciously tugging at the corners of his clothes, his face full of tension, and he kept muttering: "How do you feel now? Are all the things ready? Did you forget anything?"
Qu Qingzhu couldn't help but laugh when he heard her series of questions. He turned his head and looked at her with eyes full of doting.
While waiting for the red light, he freed one hand and gently patted Qin Yunie's head, as if comforting a frightened animal. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything is ready. I'm the one who's going to meet the parents. Look at you, you're so nervous. If someone didn't know you, they would think you were going to meet the parents."
Qin Yunie raised his chin slightly and glanced at Qu Qingzhu out of the corner of his eye. Although he didn't say anything, he couldn't help but worry in his heart, fearing that there would be even the slightest mistake during the meeting with the parents, which would be terrible.
It was not until Qu Qingzhu confirmed it several times and assured her solemnly that there would be absolutely no problem that she breathed a sigh of relief and her heart finally settled a little.
Qin Yunie took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the complex emotions in his heart that were like a deer jumping for joy, excitement and nervousness. He slowly turned his head and glanced at the scenery flashing outside the window, trying to calm himself down.
The distance from the Plum Garden to the Qin Residence was not short. The scenery outside the car window flashed by like a slide show, but her mind had already drifted to the Qin Residence she was about to arrive at, imagining the various scenarios that might happen when they met.
The car drove steadily for nearly an hour, and finally slowly drove into the courtyard in front of us, which exuded an ancient and solemn atmosphere.
After Qu Qingzhu parked the car steadily, he first took out the gift that had been carefully prepared from the trunk, held it steadily in one hand, and then naturally took Qin Yunie's hand with the other hand. The two smiled at each other and walked towards the yard together.
As soon as I stepped into the house, I heard the servant's enthusiastic voice: "The young lady is back with her boyfriend."
This voice broke the original tranquility of the living room. Several people who were sitting in the living room and chatting casually turned their eyes over when they heard this.
Qu Qingzhu carried a gift in his hand and followed Qin Yunie, walking towards where everyone was.
There were not many people in the living room. There were Qin's parents, who had gentle smiles on their faces and a look of scrutiny and curiosity in their eyes; Qin Yunie's brother Qin Jiangli, who had a calm expression and deep eyes; and old man Qin, who was sitting upright on the sofa. Although he was old, he was in good spirits and exuded an aura of majesty without anger.
After Qu Qingzhu gently placed the gift aside, Qin Yunie took his hand again and slowly approached the crowd. With a gentle smile on her face, she looked at her grandfather and called out softly and affectionately, "Grandpa, Mom, Dad, Brother, this is Qu Qingzhu."
Qu Qingzhu stood aside, looking calm and natural, with just the right smile on his face, and then politely called out one by one: "Grandpa Qin, Uncle and Aunt, Brother Qin, hello, I am Yu Nie's boyfriend Qu Qingzhu."
Old Master Qin looked at the well-matched young couple standing together in front of him, and the smile on his face deepened. He nodded slightly and said in a kind and friendly tone, "You're back." The tone sounded as if Qu Qingzhu was a member of this family. There was no sense of strangeness at all, and it was as natural and casual as greeting one's own family.
Seeing this, Qin Yunie's smile became more obvious, and he also responded with a smile: "I'm back."
She was secretly delighted, thinking that her grandfather really doted on her the most. Looking at his attitude, he already treated Qu Qingzhu as his own family. Then, she looked at her parents and brother with a hint of anticipation, wondering what their first impression of Qu Qingzhu was.
Mother Qin's face was filled with a kind smile, and her eyes revealed her fondness for Qu Qingzhu. She greeted her warmly, "Qingzhu, come and sit down. You must be tired from the journey."
Qu Qingzhu politely responded: "Auntie, I'm not tired, thank you for your concern."
Qin Yunie watched from the side, feeling relieved, and quietly gave Qu Qingzhu an encouraging look, as if to say, "Great job."
Mother Qin looked Qu Qingzhu up and down, nodding her head repeatedly: "This child is really lively and lovable."
As she spoke, she pulled Qu Qingzhu to sit on the sofa and began to ask about his life, from his daily hobbies to his past experiences. Qu Qingzhu answered them one by one seriously, his words showing sincerity and humility, which made Qin's mother even more satisfied and she couldn't stop smiling.
Qin Yunie looked at her mother's brilliant smile and felt happy in her heart. The corners of her mouth rose unconsciously. She moved closer to her mother, took her arm and said coquettishly, "Mom, I told you that Qingzhu is a very good person. Do you believe me now?"
Mother Qin smiled and patted her hands gently: "Yes, yes, my daughter's vision is always good."
Father Qin also looked at Qu Qingzhu with a smile and said, "Qingzhu, I heard from Yu Nie that you opened a bar. It's pretty good. Tell me, what do you think about the future prospects of the bar?"
Qu Qingzhu straightened up and answered with a focused expression, "Uncle, I think that although the current bar industry is highly competitive, it also has great room for development. I plan to maintain our existing characteristics while continuously innovating and offering more personalized services and activities to attract a wider range of customers. For example, I'll regularly host theme parties and invite well-known DJs. I'll also focus on the quality and variety of drinks to meet the diverse needs of our customers. Furthermore, I'm considering using online platforms for promotion to expand the bar's visibility and influence."
