After calming Liu Meiling down, Liu's parents turned their attention to Qiao Yu, who had been keeping a low profile.
This made Qiao Yu so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Mom and Dad... oh no, Uncle and Aunt... I, my name is Qiao Yu! I, I want to marry Comrade Meiling, I want to take care of her for the rest of my life!"
His eyes were so firm at that moment, as if he were about to join the Party.
At first, I stumbled and hesitated, but later I spoke more and more fluently.
"Please grant my approval!"
Liu Meiling, feeling embarrassed and annoyed, secretly glared at him, then bit her lower lip and buried her head in Bai Yajing's arms.
Mrs. Liu stared at him intently, scrutinizing him from head to toe. Qiao Yu swallowed hard, straightened his chest even more, and stood as straight as a poplar tree, only his fists were clenched tightly.
After a long pause, Liu's mother nodded secretly. It is said that mothers-in-law like their sons-in-law more and more the more they look at them. Qiao Yu is indeed handsome and fair-skinned, which is the type that mothers-in-law would like.
Mr. Liu frowned, clearly not very satisfied, but when he thought that this boy had saved his daughter, he suppressed his dissatisfaction.
"Where are you from? Who are your family members? How much education do you have?"
Qiao Yu heard every single question.
“My family is from Kyoto. I have my parents and younger sister. You probably know my dad. He is Dean Xu’s apprentice. I often go to the research institute to visit him.”
His name is Qiao Mingtao, and he's the head of the R&D department at the Kyoto Machinery Factory! My mom works as an accountant at a textile factory, and my younger sister is still in junior high school.
I couldn't get into university after finishing high school, so I answered the national call and went to the countryside!
When Liu's parents heard that he was Qiao Mingtao's son, their expressions changed simultaneously.
Mrs. Liu was even more satisfied. She knew Qiao Mingtao and the others! They were very close! He often came to see Dean Xu, and he was a top student who often discussed research with them.
"Hmm, not bad, not bad! Since things have come to this point, it's good that you're willing to take responsibility."
I have only one request: treat my daughter well. If things ever get tough, don't mistreat her. Tell us, and we won't cause any trouble!
Qiao Yu was overjoyed when he heard the first part of her words, but his smile hadn't lasted long when he heard what she said next. He almost lost his composure and waved his hands anxiously.
He was so anxious that his back was covered in sweat.
"No, no! I will take care of her for the rest of my life and treat her well for the rest of my life! I have liked her for several years, and it is my blessing to marry her. I will never bully her!"
Liu's mother felt his sincerity, and half of the weight in her heart was lifted.
Although Mr. Liu was still somewhat dissatisfied, at least he didn't make things difficult for him anymore.
Qiao Mingtao's character is impeccable; his son can't be too bad.
"Yes, we know, but we still need to say it in advance."
Alright, since you all have no objections, we parents won't object either. Will your parents be coming over?
"Yes, they will. After it happened, I sent a telegram back home, and my parents are already on their way."
They were a little late because they needed to prepare the betrothal gifts…
Liu Meiling knew about this and tugged at her mother's sleeve.
"Mom and Dad, my uncle and aunt called to explain..."
He was afraid they would misunderstand and think that his parents didn't value Liu Meiling.
Liu Meiling didn't want her parents to worry too much.
Over the years, Qiao Yu's unwavering care, concern, and thoughtfulness have gradually brought her heart back to life.
The last incident was somewhat accidental, but it broke the last barrier between the two of them.
Even without what happened last time, she was prepared to accept him.
Qiao Yu saved her, which further solidified her resolve.
