As soon as Lin Lin finished speaking, Lu Xiaoqiao was stunned for a moment.
But seeing that she was still excitedly sharing gossip with me, she must have only known about this one person, but probably didn't know who it was.
Seeing Lu Xiaoqiao's reaction, Lin Lin became even more excited: "Are you surprised? Let me tell you, when I first heard the news, I was shocked just like you!"
Lu Xiaoqiao: “…”
After a while, Lu Xiaoqiao finally spoke and asked her curiously, "Who told you that?"
Lin Lin had a smug look on her face and said in a slightly proud tone, "Humph! I overheard it secretly myself. I was late because of this. When I came out, I heard my grandpa on the phone. After he hung up, I hurried to find my grandma. He said something about the two of them living together! They were planning to arrange for the parents of both parties to meet and discuss the marriage."
Living together? Getting married? How come this is still a rumor?
Lin Lin didn't notice why Lu Xiaoqiao didn't say anything. She just pulled her aside and continued to talk excitedly: "You know the drone show last night! My uncle specially arranged it for my future aunt."
Lu Xiaoqiao: “…”
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoqiao looked a little unnatural, and asked nervously, "Do you know who it is? Even my aunt can call her so easily."
Lin Lin shook her head, then raised it after a moment, a sly light flashed in her eyes, and she said slowly: "I don't know now, but... I know the last three letters of the drone show must be related to my future aunt."
After she finished speaking, she frowned, gently touched her chin with her left index finger, and muttered to herself with a thoughtful look in her eyes: "What does LXQ mean? Is it a person's name? Or does it represent some kind of meaning?"
When Lu Xiaoqiao heard her say the word "name", her heart suddenly tightened, and she was surrounded by a feeling of nervousness and guilt at the same time.
"Why study this? Your uncle will tell you when he wants you to know."
Lin Lin smiled and said, "I'm just curious about what kind of person could have won over my uncle. Oh, by the way! I haven't wished you a happy birthday yet! As usual, let's go out for a nice meal after get off work tonight."
They have a small rule that no matter whose birthday it is, no gifts are given, but everyone gets together and treats the birthday person to a delicious meal.
After hearing this, Lu Xiaoqiao's eyes became a little evasive. She was afraid that she would not be able to have dinner with them today. After all, she had a boyfriend. When the two of them went out in the morning, Zhou Qizhen made an appointment with her that he would pick her up from get off work in the evening and celebrate her birthday with her.
It seems I'll have to wait until later to find a reason.
…
Jiang Heng Group office building.
As he was about to get off work, Zhou Qizhen received another call from his father.
The old man hesitated for a long time and couldn't explain clearly, but he didn't dare to ask too directly. In fact, Zhou Qi knew what he wanted to say.
Before Zhou's father could speak again, he said coldly, "It's not what you think."
Father Zhou heard the indifference in his son's tone and knew that he was a little angry at this time. He didn't dare to confront him, for fear that he would not bring his daughter-in-law back if he was unhappy. He said with some embarrassment: "Dad didn't mean that. I was thinking that it's almost New Year's Day! Why don't you bring her home? It can be regarded as a formal introduction. What do you think?"
Zhou Qizhen didn't rush to answer. He thought for a while before saying, "Wait a little later, I'll ask her what she means."
"Okay, okay, you ask and call me. If Xiao Qiao agrees, I can ask the chef to prepare the meal for that day."
Zhou's father didn't care at all about his son becoming henpecked in the future. As long as he could bring his future daughter-in-law back safely, he would be satisfied.
Zhou Qizhen hung up the phone, glanced at Li Yuxuan and Shen Yi who were sitting on the sofa waiting for him, and said, "I have something to do tonight, you guys go first!"
Li Yuxuan thought to himself: Do you really think we are asking you out for dinner? We are just here to see what is going on.
He asked seriously, "Is your father's phone number?"
Before Zhou Qizheng could answer, Shen Yi spoke first, his tone was a little rude: "I asked you to bring your girlfriend home, right? Old Zhou, can you do it? Can you bring her back?"
Li Yuxuan continued, "Tsk! I guess it's a bit suspenseful. Didn't he just say he wanted to ask? It's obvious that he doesn't have the confidence."
Zhou Qizhen was being "ridiculed" by his two good friends, but he didn't say a word and just buried his head in reviewing the documents on his desk seriously.
Li Yuxuan and Shen Yi teased for a long time without getting any response. They looked at each other, felt bored, and simply left.
After leaving the house, Li Yuxuan still felt a little unwilling. He snorted and said, "You always have a sour face all day long. I don't know who you are showing this to."
Shen Yi was somewhat self-aware and said, "Who can you give it to? Give it to us two! Would he dare to give it to Lu Xiaoqiao?"
Li Yuxuan said in a venting tone, "That's right, he thinks he has the ability to deal with us. If he really has the ability, he should show Lu Xiaoqiao a bit of respect for us."
Shen Yi responded: "He looks serious, but he is even more sultry when doing things. For example, he worked overtime to design the difficult drone show last night. I asked him to help him, but he disagreed."
Li Yuxuan curled his lips and said, "I wonder how many secrets of chasing a wife Lao Zhou has learned from us this time. Look at the birthday party he gave me. It was so grand and he even got a high-end custom car. With just this set of punches, I really have to admit defeat."
After Shen Yi heard what he said, he paused for a moment, rolled his eyes, and asked casually, "Did he really read it? Where did he buy it?"
Li Yuxuan shrugged and glanced at him: "Who knows? Why? Do you still want to study? Chase your ex-girlfriend?"
Shen Yi said with an unnatural expression: "I'm just asking."
Li Yuxuan patted him on the shoulder and played the role of a close friend again: "Don't make a fuss. You and Lao Zhou are two different things. Lao Zhou is his first love after all. What about you? Not only did you break up with your girlfriend, but you were also engaged to another woman. Lao Zhou is a fake suspense, and you are the real suspense!"
Shen Yi hurriedly defended himself, "But I have already cancelled the engagement. Besides, my engagement was a fake one."
Li Yuxuan spread his hands: "It's no use for you to explain to me, people have to believe you."
Shen Yi thought for a moment and said, "How about I follow Lao Zhou's example and put on a drone show?"
Li Yuxuan rolled his eyes: "If I were that girl, I would have beaten you up. If it were me, you should check the source and figure it out first."
Shen Yi didn't say anything else, feeling a little disappointed. He had come here happily to see Zhou Qi having fun, but now, not only did he not see the fun, he also got himself involved.
Zhou Qizhen looked up at his two friends leaving the office and was sure that they would not come back.
With a "pop" sound, he casually threw the pen in his hand onto the desk, and then leaned back heavily in frustration.
Close your eyes and let your emotions slowly calm down.
Oh! He will be able to marry Lu Xiaoqiao one day. Unlike them, he doesn't even have a girlfriend now. Do you still want to see him having fun? Dream on!
After comforting myself for a long time, I finally came to terms with it.
