After Lu Xiaoqiao finished speaking, Zheng Yan fell silent. Li Na laughed, "What's the matter? Do you dare to hit someone?"
Lu Xiaoqiao glanced at Zheng Yan.
"Ask her if I dare?"
After saying that, he walked past the two people and went downstairs first.
When Lu Xiaoqiao moved house before, Zhou Qizhen and Li Yuxuan came here once and knew the address, but his girlfriend didn't let him come so early, so now he could only quietly park the car in a remote corner of the street.
I didn't dare drive out until I received her call.
Because the New Year is coming soon and Christmas is approaching, big red Chinese knots are hung on the street lamp poles. Even the trees on both sides of the street are decorated with lights and various shooting star lights.
Just as Lu Xiaoqiao was admiring the beautiful flowing lights that looked like a galaxy of stars, a black Bentley stopped on the street where she was standing.
Lu Xiaoqiao blinked in surprise: "So fast? Have you been waiting nearby?"
"Well, hurry up and get in the car!"
After Lu Xiaoqiao got in the car and fastened her seat belt, he started the car again and drove away.
"Didn't I tell you to wait for my call before coming over? You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?"
Zhou Qizheng raised his eyebrows and asked instead, "If I waited for you to finish your call before driving over, would you just stand outside and freeze?"
Lu Xiaoqiao didn't expect him to be so considerate: "I'm afraid you're busy with work, don't delay picking me up."
Taking advantage of the red light, Zhou Qizheng held her hand.
"There's always work to do, and picking you up won't delay me. I don't want you to stand outside and freeze while you wait for me."
So he can drop his work and wait for her?
Sometimes Lu Xiaoqiao really couldn't understand what Zhou Qizhen saw in her. He was so outstanding and treated her so well, but she didn't let him "see the light" because of her own concerns.
Suddenly I felt a little sorry for him.
After calming her disturbed heartbeat, she said as if she had made up her mind: "After the New Year, I will take you to meet my aunt."
Zhou Qizhen's eyes were filled with joy, and he said as he drove, "There's still half a month left, I'll make preparations then." He will ask Secretary Ding to check at work tomorrow what gifts he should bring when meeting the girl's family for the first time.
Lu Xiaoqiao was a little speechless, knowing that he had misunderstood her, and said with a stiff upper lip: "I was talking about the year on New Year's Eve."
Zhou Qizheng: “…”
Seeing that he didn't say anything for a long time, I thought he was angry. I looked at his face, but couldn't tell his emotion.
The big hand with distinct bones was rubbing the steering wheel. After turning back, the slender fingers tapped twice before he spoke again, "I thought... I was promoted to a regular employee ahead of schedule!"
Happy for nothing!
Lu Xiaoqiao was stunned for a moment and said, "New Year's Eve is not far away now, and the New Year is early this year."
"You will definitely go home for the New Year, right? How about this, I'll pick you up then, and then go directly to your house to meet your family?"
"Ah? That's a bit too fast!" He just said he wanted to meet his aunt, how come he wanted to meet his parents within just one sentence?
"Not too fast, we've known each other for quite some time!" Zhou Qizhen thought to himself, it's been ten years!
Lu Xiaoqiao glanced at his expectant eyes, and couldn't say no, so she nodded and said "Yeah!"
Zhou Qizheng was quite excited by her agreement, and even his voice was filled with joy: "I have never been to Northeast China. How long do you plan to stay at home during the New Year? I can make arrangements in advance."
Lu Xiaoqiao thought for a moment and said, "My grandma is going to celebrate her birthday this year, that's my grandmother."
Afraid that Zhou Qizhen didn't know who she was talking about, Lu Xiaoqiao explained to him and then said, "I heard from my mother that it is scheduled for the third day of the Chinese New Year, so I estimate that I will have to rush back on the sixth or seventh day of the Chinese New Year. I'll see if I can buy a high-speed rail ticket by then."
Zhou Qizheng was surprised and asked, "It's so far, why do you take the high-speed rail home? Why not take a plane?"
Lu Xiaoqiao glanced at him lightly. This was the difference between the two of them. He only thought about convenience and speed and didn't consider the wallet at all!
"During the Chinese New Year, flight tickets are several times more expensive than high-speed rail tickets. And the high-speed rail is also very convenient! It only takes more than eight hours to get there!"
Zhou Qi was just about to show off: "I'll help you arrange your trip home."
Lu Xiaoqiao tilted her head and glanced at him: "No, I made an appointment with my roommate and friend to go back together, please don't treat me specially."
Zhou Qizhen didn't say anything, and it was unclear whether he heard it or not.
When they arrived at the barbecue restaurant, one of them was responsible for grilling and the other was responsible for eating.
Zhou Qi was putting a piece of roasted beef belly on Lu Xiaoqiao's plate.
“I can’t eat barbecue often anymore!”
Lu Xiaoqiao was stunned for a moment and asked him, "Why?"
Zhou Qi was recalling what happened in the office before. Li Yuxuan happened to be there at that time. He asked someone to take a seat at the barbecue restaurant, and Li Yuxuan teased him about what he said.
"You take your girlfriend out for barbecue every day, aren't you afraid that she will get a sore throat? If someone doesn't know, they would think you are going bankrupt and are so poor that you can only take your woman out for barbecue!"
After thinking about what Li Yuxuan said for a while, I felt that he was right. I only cared about making her happy before and didn't consider health issues: "I'm afraid you'll get angry if you eat too much."
Lu Xiaoqiao dipped the beef in some sauce, wrapped it in lettuce, put it in her mouth, and said incoherently, "I'm not afraid of getting angry."
Zhou Qizheng stroked her head and said, "Be good, I'll bring you here to eat once a month from now on."
Regarding her boyfriend's father's "educational method", Lu Xiaoqiao held back her laughter and said mischievously, "Got it! Uncle."
Zhou Qi was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly and lovingly: "Naughty!"
…
After finishing their meal, the two drove downstairs.
Zhao Zhizhi was seen arguing excitedly with a short, slightly fat man, while Zhao Jia was trying to persuade him.
Lu Xiaoqiao hurriedly got out of the car and asked Zhao Jia what happened.
Before Zhao Jia could say anything, Zhao Zhizhi pointed at the short man across from him and said to Lu Xiaoqiao, "This is my landlord. He asked me to move out just a few days after I moved in. He said he didn't want to rent the house anymore. He didn't even wait a day, but came here in the middle of the night to tell me that I had to move out tomorrow. Is that how you bully people?"
The short man was not happy after hearing what Zhao Zhizhi said: "How did I bully you? I sold my house, but does it still bother you? Besides, what else do you want after I lose money to you?"
"Having money is a big deal! Is this about money? I didn't say I won't move, but there has to be a deadline, right? How can I just move when I want to? It's almost the end of the year, where do you want me to move? I can't even wait until after the New Year, and you're still selling the house? If you wanted to sell the house, why did you rent it out in the first place? You're just cheating me!"
The short man waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to say anything more: "Anyway, I'll come to collect the house tomorrow afternoon. You have one day to move out, or I'll call the police." After saying this, the man turned and left.
Zhao Zhizhi's hands were shaking with anger. He gasped and pointed at the man's back and cursed: "You think you're so great just because you have some dirty money!"
Just as he finished speaking, he saw Zhou Qizhen standing next to Lu Xiaoqiao. Thinking of what he had just said about scolding the landlord, he felt a little embarrassed. After all, this guy was really rich.
"Mr. Zhou." Zhao Zhizhi and Zhao Jia greeted Zhou Qizhen at the same time.
"Yeah." Zhou Qizheng nodded in response, and then said, "Do you need help?"
How could Zhao Zhizhi dare to let someone of his status get involved in the family affairs of a commoner like him? He quickly waved his hand to refuse: "No need, Mr. Zhou, thank you, I will pack my things today and go to the agency tomorrow to have a look."
Zhou Qizheng nodded: "Okay, tell me if you need any help."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Zhou."
"Mr. Zhou, I'm going to go upstairs to clean up. You and Xiao Qiao...go ahead."
Zhao Zhizhi didn't know what to say. How could a couple who were just in the passionate stage of dating say goodbye without a goodnight kiss? He understood this. After saying goodbye to Zhou Qizhen, he pulled Zhao Jia upstairs.
Zhou Qizhen was very satisfied with Zhao Zhizhi's vision.
