Lu Xiaoqiao came out of the study and was about to go to the stairs when she was stopped by Lin Lin who suddenly appeared.
"Damn! You scared me."
Lu Xiaoqiao patted her chest to calm herself down: "What are you doing? Why aren't you downstairs?"
Lin Lin pulled her into her room before she dared to speak in a normal voice: "Why are you going downstairs? Look, when we just came back, I had no chance to speak. No one introduced me. I think I will soon leave this house."
Lu Xiaoqiao hugged her and said, "Don't think like that. You are the master now, so you will naturally receive less care. Are you jealous of your grandmother because of this?"
Lin Lin pouted and said, "Zhao Yichen is the one who has a blood relationship with grandma. What does my blood relationship mean? My last name is neither Zhao nor Zhou."
Lu Xiaoqiao pulled her to sit on the bedside: "But your mother's last name is Zhou! Don't worry, if you say so, then I will be even worse off."
"Why are you so miserable? Just give your child the surname Zhou."
Lu Xiaoqiao laughed and said, "You are thinking too far ahead. Okay, if you are really unhappy, just stay with me and your uncle for a few days."
Lin Lin glanced at Lu Xiaoqiao and said, "You better keep an eye on my uncle. I think the way that Liu Yufei looks at my uncle is not right."
Lu Xiaoqiao nodded and said, "I understand, my Lin, but if your uncle dares to betray me, I will break his legs."
Lin Lin finally laughed: "Hehe, I'll help you pass the stick then."
Lu Xiaoqiao couldn't help laughing out loud: "Sure, it can be used as a crutch after the fight."
"Ha ha!"
Lu Xiaoqiao finally made the guests happy, and after a few words of persuasion, she finally coaxed Lin Lin downstairs. After all, she was a guest, and no matter how unhappy she was, the host couldn't hide in the room and not come out, otherwise they would find fault with her.
…
9:30 pm.
Zhou Qi was driving Lu Xiaoqiao home.
Lu Xiaoqiao finished washing up and lay on the bed: "Just now you made a phone call in the car, and I heard you say that you were going on a business trip again tomorrow?"
Zhou Qizheng pulled her into his arms and said, "Well, we have to clean mom's grave during the Qingming Festival, so we need to finish the work in advance. I will ask Ziyang to come back tomorrow, and you can find him if you have anything."
Lu Xiaoqiao leaned into his arms and hugged his waist: "Since you are on a business trip, can I bring Lin Lin home to stay tomorrow?"
Zhou Qizheng raised his eyebrows: "Her idea?"
Lu Xiaoqiao said coquettishly: "Your wife is my idea."
Zhou Qizheng raised his lips and kissed her: "Is that so? It depends on my wife's sincerity."
Lu Xiaoqiao bit her lip and said, "I'll wait for you to come back, okay? I ate too much tonight, and now my stomach is bloated."
Zhou Qizhen thought about it and remembered that she had indeed eaten a lot at the dinner table under her father's expectant eyes.
He hugged her tighter, making her feel that his smile had some malicious intent.
"I'm in this state, and I still have to endure it. How are you going to compensate me when I come back? If you are not satisfied with the welfare, I will not let you go today."
Lu Xiaoqiao knew his tricks very well, so she said in a low voice, "You, I agree to your request last time."
Zhou Qizheng was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise: "Really?"
Lu Xiaoqiao nodded, her face a little hot, and she buried her face in his arms embarrassedly.
Zhou Qizheng kissed her vigorously, then hugged her tightly again: "Wife, I wish I was back from my business trip now."
…
Zhou family’s old house.
As Wang Yumei lay in bed, she could not help but complain to her husband: "This time, nothing goes well. How come Qi Zheng suddenly has a woman? Oh! I don't know what my sister thinks of me."
Zhao Jiangang sat on the bedside, shook the newspaper in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Don't bother, the girl is very much valued by Qizheng and brother-in-law."
Wang Yumei snorted and said nonchalantly, "So what if he likes her? Can he really marry her in the future? In my opinion, Qi Zheng only likes her because she's pretty. His love for her will only last for two years!"
Zhao Jiangang turned his head and looked at her, warning her: "What nonsense are you talking about? You two have already obtained the marriage certificate. Don't say such things again in the future."
When Wang Yumei heard the word "marriage certificate", she sat up from the bed with a thud: "What? Marriage certificate? Qi Zheng said it himself?"
Zhao Jiangang was a little unhappy: "Not only Qi Zheng said so, my brother-in-law is also very satisfied. After cleaning my sister's grave, he will go to the girl's house to propose marriage."
Wang Yumei was a little anxious: "You are so confused! I found out from my second sister today that the girl has no family background and is from the countryside. Her parents don't even have a formal job. How could you agree to let Qi Zheng marry such a girl in the future just because she is beautiful?"
Zhao Jiangang sighed: "So what if I don't agree? They want it, and my brother-in-law is satisfied, so what can I do?"
Wang Yumei said angrily, "You're still talking about this. I get angry when you mention this. I don't know what my brother-in-law is thinking. As for today's dinner, was it a treat for us? It was all the food that girl likes to eat."
"She is so thin yet she eats so much. I saw her refill her rice three times. What normal girl eats so much? Her mouth is never idle. If you don't know her, you would think she is pregnant. She eats the amount of two or three people."
"It's just that our family is poor and we've never eaten anything good. When we see something good, we eat it vigorously. And my brother-in-law, I'm not saying anything bad about him, he spent half a day cooking a table full of dishes that his daughter-in-law likes to eat. It seems that we are here to serve as appetizers for his daughter-in-law."
Zhao Jiangang didn't want to listen to her nagging anymore, and frowned and said, "Alright, stop talking. They are willing to do so, what can we, as outsiders, say?"
Wang Yumei was not convinced and said, "Now he treats us as outsiders. When he first took over the company, how many troubles did you, his uncle, help him solve? But he is so good. Humph, he doesn't want the mayor's daughter, he doesn't like the president's daughter, and now he finds a country girl for himself."
Zhao Jiangang was a little angry when he heard this and said, "Be careful with your words. It is true that I helped Qi Zheng, but don't forget where the things you are wearing came from."
Wang Yumei said nothing more. She still couldn't get over it in her heart. Her sister's daughter actually lost to a little girl from the countryside. If this got out, the Wang family would lose face.
…
Another person who couldn't sleep today was Lin Lin.
I called Zhou Qiyue, but my mother was too busy and hung up after a few words.
I was calculating in my heart how many days it would take for my mother to come back.
She couldn't sleep and wanted to find someone to chat. In the past, she would look for Xiao Qiao in this situation, but now she was too "sensible" to do so.
She knew very well that during this period, the juicy cabbages of her little sisters were being taken away by their uncles.
I felt bored, so I posted a message on WeChat Moments.
[My eyelids are fighting, and my brain is dancing. ]
Not long after Lin Lin posted it, many people liked her message and some asked her what was wrong. She only replied that she had insomnia.
Within two minutes, I received a private message from Li Yuxuan.
