Morning, at the Qiu family's old house.
Qiu Bing was trying every means to force Qiu Lan to go on a blind date. "Qiu Lan, that's an opportunity I'm giving you. I advise you not to be ungrateful. Besides, what's wrong with President Huang? He's the big boss of a listed company with good prospects. He's just been widowed and doesn't have any children. He's older and knows how to take care of people. Don't say that I, as his mother, won't give you anything." Her words carried a hint of condescension.
"Since you think it's so good, why don't you get a divorce and marry him? Or at the very least, let your eldest daughter go with him. A fat man and a cripple are a match made in heaven."
That's right, Mr. Huang is a big fat man. His belly jiggles after just a few steps. His listed company was also left to him by his wife. He is a true gigolo. His ex-wife must be a strange person. What did she see in this man?
"You brat, what are you saying? You really need to be taught a lesson." Qiu Bing was about to hit her when Qiu Lan grabbed her hand and shook her off.
"I'm not the same Qiu Lan I was when I was a kid, the one who wouldn't fight back or say anything mean. Stop bothering me."
"Qiu Lan, don't forget who gave birth to you. What's wrong with doing something for me?" Qiu Bing acted as if it were her right, which was really annoying.
Qiu Bing wanted to marry President Huang to gain benefits and join forces with him to suppress Qiu Hu. However, President Huang had his eye on Qiu Lan. He said that as long as Qiu Lan was with him, she would be his mother-in-law and everything would be easy. But Qiu Lan refused to budge.
"You should say that to those two good-for-nothings in your family, not me. Who told you to give birth to me? All you did was give birth to me."
"You've really gone too far! I refuse to believe I can't handle a lowly girl like you."
"What's all this arguing about? Why are you back again?" Old Master Qiu came out of his study after hearing the commotion. His question was clearly directed at Qiu Bing. "Why do you always seem to be looking for trouble? What happened? Why are you back looking for Xiao Lan?"
Qiu Bing would never tell Qiu Lan that she had arranged for her to go on a blind date. "Dad, it's nothing, I just came to see her."
Qiu Lan wasn't going to play along. "Hmph, that sounds nice, Grandpa. She wants me to go on a blind date and marry a fat man in his forties."
Grandpa Qiu was so angry that he jabbed his cane into the ground, as if he wanted to punch a hole in it, making a sound like wood hitting the floor. "How can you be a mother like that? If you force Xiao Lan to go again, get out of here."
Qiu Bing continued to cover up, "Dad, I'm only doing this for the good of the Qiu family. Don't you even look at their current situation?"
"What's going on? Isn't this situation your fault? How come everything was fine when I was in charge? In the end, it's because you're incompetent. I see that Ah Hu is doing quite well now. Don't think I don't know why you arranged for Xiao Lan to go on blind dates. Isn't it just to win people over to help you?" Old Master Qiu said bluntly.
"Dad, how could you think of me like that?" Qiu Bing was caught off guard and left after saying that.
After Qiu Bing left, Grandpa Qiu asked Qiu Lan to sit down. "Xiao Lan, if anything happens, be sure to tell your grandfather immediately, okay?"
"I understand, Grandpa." Qiu Lan was touched, her nose felt a little sore, and she lowered her eyes, not daring to look at the old man in front of her.
How have things been going with work and studies lately?
Qiu Lan, who was dressed in a sexy outfit, suddenly became well-behaved and scratched her head. "Grandpa, everything is fine. I recently filmed a period drama, and I have more scenes than before."
"That's good, that's good. The Qiu family is about to produce a big star." Old Master Qiu finally smiled.
Grandpa Qiu once asked her if he wanted to pave the way for her to enter the entertainment industry, but Qiu Lan refused, wanting to make her own way in the industry.
"Oh, right, Xiao Lan, I had the maid make some soup. It's very nourishing, so remember to drink it. Also, when you go out, take some with you to your cousin Ah Hu. Sigh, she never comes home." Old Master Qiu couldn't help but complain.
"Oh, I see." Actually, she was a little reluctant, but since her grandfather had given the order, she had no choice but to agree. Besides, she was also a little curious about Qiu Hu now.
After the meal, Qiu Lan had her driver take her to the Qiu family's residence. However, no one from the Qiu family had ever seen this Miss Qiu before, and it was Qiu Lan's first time visiting the Qiu family's residence.
"Qiu Lan? What brings her here? Let her come up." The receptionist called to inquire, surprised that she had seen her so soon after speaking.
Qiu Lan took the elevator to Qiu Hu's office and knocked on the door.
"Enter".
Qiu Lan went inside and saw Qiu Hu working. She hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to make a sound.
Qiu Hu heard unfamiliar footsteps, looked up, and sure enough, it was her. "You've come?"
"Yes, Grandpa asked me to bring you some soup." She said something completely unrelated to her attire. One would expect her to speak arrogantly, but she didn't; instead, she sounded more like a meek and submissive person.
"Put it down first."
"I'll watch you finish it before I take the thermos back." The implication is clear: I want to see you finish it.
“Okay, I’ll drink now.” Qiu Hu stood up and walked to the sofa.
Qiu Lan placed the thermos on the coffee table, poured some water into it, and handed it to her. "Here you go!"
"Thank you," Qiu Hu said, picking up the glass and starting to drink.
Qiu Lan felt awkward watching her drink, so she said, "Grandpa misses you a lot and hopes you can go back to see him more often."
"Yes, I will. I'll go back as soon as I'm done with this busy period." I haven't been back recently, and we've lost touch.
"Hmm." Then, silence again.
"I heard that Qiu Bing asked you to go on a blind date."
Qiu Lan was somewhat surprised, "How did you know?"
Instead of answering Qiu Lan's question, she reminded her, "Be careful. You know what kind of person Qiu Bing is. She won't give up until she gets what she wants. If you don't want to, find a way to refuse her."
Was she concerned about her? But she had become so cold, and her words were so cold. Thinking of this, she frowned.
Looking at her expression, Qiu Hu wondered if she had said something wrong. "If you think what I said is wrong, you don't have to pay attention to it."
Hearing Qiu Hu's words, she realized what he meant. "Oh, no, that's not what I meant. I'll be careful. Besides, I've already rejected her, and Grandpa knows about it."
"Okay, that's good. If you can't solve it, you can come to me." Qiu Hu was still somewhat protective of his own people, even those he had been with in the past.
"Okay." Qiu Lan was quite happy to hear this.
After Qiu Hu finished his soup, Qiu Lan left the Qiu family with her empty thermos cup, a smile on her face. She happily opened the car door and got in.
Even the driver noticed Qiu Lan's good mood and couldn't help but ask, "Miss Lan, what's making you so happy?"
"Really? I don't think so." She wasn't happy because of Qiu Hu. "Alright, let's drive, I still have work to do."
