I can survive better than Qin Siyan, the sickly guy.
On a weekend morning, when Lu Jin finished washing up and came out of the room, he smelled the aroma of food coming from the living room.
Qin Siyan had just come over from next door with the prepared breakfast and set it up. When he saw Lu Jin coming out, he smiled slightly and said, "Come over and have breakfast."
After having breakfast at Qin Siyan's house that morning, Qin Siyan made breakfast and dinner for Lu Jin for the next few days, and even had lunch in Qin Siyan's house yesterday.
For convenience, Lu Jin even told Qin Siyan the door password directly.
In the morning, Qin Siyan prepared the meal and brought it over for the two of them to eat together.
Seeing Lu Jin coming over, Qin Siyan stepped forward and pulled out the chair for her. After seeing Lu Jin sit down, he walked over and sat down next to her.
The corn porridge Qin Siyan cooked this morning was soft and delicious with the fragrance of corn. Lu Jin drank two bowls in a row before slowing down.
Qin Siyan couldn't help but feel happy when he saw her eating so happily.
Qin Siyan felt indescribably satisfied cooking for Lu Jin these days. Every time she cooked, she would eat it all, and she enjoyed it very much.
"Is it delicious?" Qin Siyan couldn't help asking, "If there's anything wrong, let me know and I'll improve it next time."
Lu Jin shook his head: "It's perfect. If you were to open a restaurant and work as a chef, it would definitely be packed every day!"
Lu Jin was absolutely right in what he said. The food Qin Siyan cooked was really delicious, comparable to that of a five-star chef.
The corners of Qin Siyan's mouth rose uncontrollably, and a hint of red appeared on his ears.
After breakfast, Qin Siyan happily took Lu Jin to the old house.
In the car, Qin Siyan turned his head to look at Lu Jin several times, but he did not see any nervousness on Lu Jin's face. Instead, he saw a joyful smile on her face. Qin Siyan's heart moved slightly. It seemed that she was looking forward to meeting her family.
The Qin family's old house.
Everyone in the Qin family clearly felt that Madam Qin was in a different state today. The smile on her wrinkled face never left her. She was even busy running around and giving instructions, especially going to the kitchen more frequently.
The group of young people who were originally sitting there were also feeling very uncomfortable. When the old lady stood up and started to work, those who were more perceptive followed closely.
"What are you following me for?" Old Madam Qin was a little annoyed that they were getting in the way.
"Mom, what are you busying around for? Take a rest." Qin Zhengan, the eldest son of the Qin family, walked forward with a smile, reached out to hold the arm of Old Lady Qin and walked towards the living room.
"I still have to go to the kitchen to keep an eye on it. Don't bother me and go about your business." Old Madam Qin pulled her hand back, obviously disgusted with his behavior of stopping her.
Qin Zhengan was amused by Madam Qin's disdainful look: "You can just let the housekeeper keep an eye on it, why do you have to do it yourself? It's just a dinner party, just eat anything, there's no need to-"
Before he could finish his words, Madam Qin interrupted him directly: "You are so shameless, who said I did this for you!"
Madam Qin's words stunned everyone for a moment. Amidst their puzzled gazes, Qin Zhengan asked, "Are there any guests coming today?"
Every Sunday is the day for their family dinner. Unless there are special circumstances, everyone in the Qin family will rush back to the old house to accompany Old Madam Qin, even her daughter who married out.
But this means that the Qin family will not choose to meet friends on Sundays. They will generally avoid entertaining guests at home on this day. If it is really necessary, they will choose to meet guests outside.
However, there are guests coming to the old house today.
For a moment, everyone was wondering which of Old Lady Qin's best friends it would be, but those friends obviously knew the rules of their family and would definitely not choose this time to visit the old house.
Facing the curious gazes of the crowd, a smile appeared on Mrs. Qin's face, which had originally shown disgust, at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As if she had finally waited for someone to ask her this question, Old Madam Qin looked at her with an expression that said, "Since you want to know so much, I will mercifully tell you." Her voice was slightly excited as she said, "Si Yan will bring his girlfriend back later."
One sentence made the whole living room quiet in an instant.
"Si Yan's girlfriend?"
Qin Zhengan was full of confusion, even wondering if he had heard it wrong?
Qin Ziqian, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room playing games with his mobile phone, didn't even care about the game at the moment. He watched himself being killed in the game and the screen went black. He was too lazy to care. He threw down his phone and strode towards Mrs. Qin.
The gossip spirit was burning in his dark eyes, and he started to ask questions as soon as he opened his mouth: "Grandma, you said Qin Siyan found a girlfriend? When? Whose family is she from? How old is she? Is she pretty?"
Madam Qin raised her hand, knocked his head with a serious look, and glared at him: "How can I answer you after all this talk?"
Qin Ziqian didn't care at all. With a chuckle on his face, he put his arm around Madam Qin's shoulders and pushed Qin Zheng'an aside. "Grandma, tell me first, could this girlfriend Qin Siyan found be the one from the banquet you prepared for him a few days ago?"
During all the years Qin Siyan has been abroad, no one has ever heard that he has a girlfriend.
He had just returned to China and it had only been a few days when he started dating. Apart from the banquet that Old Madam Qin had prepared on her own initiative, no one could imagine that Qin Siyan would find a girl to date in such a short time.
Even if it is love at first sight, there is always a process of pursuit!
As soon as Qin Ziqian finished speaking, Old Lady Qin slapped him on the head again. She swept her eyes over the crowd and warned in a serious tone, "This girlfriend that Si Yan found was not arranged by me. He chose her himself. I don't care what you think. This little girl is here for the first time today. If you make her angry, I won't forgive you!"
When Old Lady Qin said this, everyone once again realized how important Qin Siyan was in her mind.
There were also several young people of the same age as Qin Siyan who were already married, but none of them had ever received such a solemn warning and reminder from Old Lady Qin.
The more Madam Qin cares about the little girl, the more it shows how much she values Qin Siyan!
Everyone had different thoughts, but they hid them well. A few showed some emotion but they quickly concealed it.
After all, everyone present was smart and naturally wouldn't feel uncomfortable in front of Old Madam Qin.
"Grandma, you are so biased! If I don't get the same attitude from you when I look for a girlfriend in the future, I will cry in front of you."
Qin Ziqian hugged Old Madam Qin and acted like a big dog.
Old Madam Qin raised her hand and slapped him, saying with disdain: "You are so dishonest! Stand up straight, you are boneless."
"Why don't you find me a girlfriend first? Stop hanging around with so many girls and embarrassing me by constantly being on the entertainment headlines!"
Qin Ziqian stood up straight with a smile, fearing that Madam Qin would continue to scold him, so he quickly changed the subject: "Grandma, whose daughter is this girl Qin Siyan brought back?"
Old Madam Qin did not hide it and had already reminded everyone before. Naturally, she was no longer worried that everyone would be hostile to her because of Lu Jin's identity.
"Lu Jin, the eldest lady of the Lu family."
The others were still wondering who Lu Jin was. Qin Ziqian, who was standing next to them, immediately reacted: "Could the Lu Jin you're talking about be the one who was sent away after the second wife of the Lu family died in a car accident? I heard that he was just found and returned to the Lu family a few days ago!"
“Bang!”
As soon as Qin Ziqian finished speaking, he was slapped again by Old Lady Qin, a slap that was crisp and loud.
Qin Ziqian looked at him aggrievedly: "Why did you hit me? Did I say something wrong?"
Madam Qin snorted: "You are not wrong, but I want to fight!"
Qin Ziqian: “…”
You are right, sir!
Qin Ziqian's reminder finally made the others react.
Everyone had different expressions, some worried, some relieved, some expectant, and some even gloating...
Old Madam Qin was too lazy to pay attention to everyone and turned around to walk towards the kitchen again. She wanted to see if there was anything else that needed to be added. Si Yan had said that the little girl had a good appetite and she couldn't let her go hungry!
Watching Madam Qin leave, Qin Ziqian hurriedly followed her, his face full of anticipation as he asked, "Grandma, have you met Miss Lu? Is she pretty? Is Qin Siyan dating someone else just because she's pretty?"
"Shut up!" Old Madam Qin was annoyed by his questioning: "Go play your game, don't follow me."
"Games are not as important as grandma. I have to accompany you."
The two people's voices faded away, and the group of people sitting in the living room looked at each other, and for a moment it became unusually quiet.
After a while, everyone started to whisper and discuss, undoubtedly all around the topic just now.
Qin Zhengan walked to the living room with a worried look on his face and sat down. He couldn't help but complain to his brothers and sisters next to him:
"What's Mom thinking? Why would she agree to let Si Yan date that little girl named Lu Jin?"
"Yeah, doesn't she know that people outside are saying that the little girl killed her parents? Si Yan's health was not good to begin with, and now he is with that little girl, if...ah, what kind of thing is this!"
"Didn't Mom say that Si Yan chose the person he wanted? Given how much Mom cares about Si Yan, I must have tried to persuade him. Maybe Si Yan didn't listen, so Mom just let it go. You all know how much Mom indulges Si Yan."
There were footsteps outside the door, and the servant's excited voice rang out: "Old Madam, Master Si Yan is back with Miss Lu."
The servant's voice made the living room quiet again, and everyone's eyes turned towards the door.
Hearing the sound, Old Lady Qin hurried out with the support of Qin Ziqian.
Qin Ziqian looked at the two people who walked in with their fingers intertwined. His eyes did not fall on Lu Jin at first, but on Qin Siyan.
He always treats everyone with an attitude of "stay away from me, get as far away as possible", but now he looks as happy as a spring breeze, like a pervert who says "I'm in love" written all over his face. This look really makes Qin Ziqian feel weird, so much so that he even feels a toothache at this moment!
"You must be Xiaojin." The kind and gentle voice of Old Lady Qin brought Qin Ziqian back to his senses.
He then turned his head to look at the pretty girl standing next to him with a sweet and harmless smile on her face.
The girl was wearing a goose yellow dress and looked youthful and enthusiastic. Her overly well-behaved and gentle smile made her seem harmless and easy to bully.
This quiet and well-behaved look makes it seem like she's particularly easy to handle!
Qin Ziqian wondered if this girl had been tricked back by Qin Siyan.
"Hello, Grandma Qin." Lu Jin's voice was sweet and well-behaved, and her watery eyes were curved in a smile, which was sweet and lovable.
The girl was soft, sweet, and well-behaved, which softened Mrs. Qin's heart: "Well, hello."
"Come on, come in and sit down and have a rest." Old Madam Qin stepped forward enthusiastically, took Lu Jin from Qin Siyan's hand and walked towards the living room.
His hands felt empty, and Qin Siyan's hand, which was originally holding Lu Jin's hand, froze in mid-air for a moment, then he pursed his lips and withdrew it.
Qin Ziqian witnessed the whole thing and was so shocked that he couldn't help but doubt his own eyes.
Qin Siyan ignored Qin Ziqian who was standing next to him, ordered the servant to bring in the gifts prepared by Lu Jin, and then quickly followed.
Old Madam Qin personally led Lu Jin to the living room, and the group of people who were originally sitting all stood up at once.
Old Madam Qin took everyone by the hand and began to introduce them one by one: "This is Si Yan's uncle."
Lu Jin looked at Qin Zhengan and called out sweetly, "Hello, uncle. I'm Lu Jin."
Qin Zhengan smiled casually: "Hello, Xiaojin, welcome to my home."
After greeting Qin Zhengan, Old Madam Qin continued to introduce everyone one by one. Lu Jin followed obediently beside her, with a decent and gentle smile on her face, looking like a harmless little white rabbit.
She had a good memory and wrote everything down, but to her surprise, her target person today - Qin Huai, the sixth young master of the Qin family - was not among them.
So, what reason should she use to get Qin Siyan to introduce the Sixth Young Master to her, without making Qin Siyan think that she is taking advantage of him!
Lu Jin subconsciously looked at Qin Siyan, but unexpectedly met Qin Siyan's gaze which had been staring at her. Lu Jin instantly grinned and smiled sweetly at him.
Qin Siyan stepped forward and came to her side. Before he even stretched out his hand, Lu Jin had already stretched out her hand and interlocked her fingers with his naturally and skillfully. Qin Siyan seemed to be obedient and held the other's hand with his backhand.
Only Qin Ziqian, who had been staring at the two of them, saw it clearly. When Old Madam Qin took Lu Jin to identify the people, Qin Siyan reached out to the girl and then retracted his hands several times.
"It's so lively today." A man's joking voice came from outside the door: "I heard from the housekeeper that Qin Siyan just brought his girlfriend back to the old house. Which girl is so unfortunate? She actually caught the eye of Qin Siyan!"
I heard his voice before I saw him.
Lu Jin subconsciously turned his head to look at Qin Siyan, but saw that his brows were slightly furrowed, and he was obviously unhappy with the person who was speaking.
The sound of footsteps came from far away. The man was wearing a black suit and had a neatly slicked back hair. There was a playful expression on his face, and his deep eyes instantly locked onto Lu Jin and Qin Siyan standing in the center.
The man strode over and stopped directly in front of Lu Jin and Qin Siyan. His gaze fell directly on Lu Jin's face. His cold features were somewhat similar to Qin Siyan's. At this moment, he smiled like a peacock spreading its tail: "Miss, would you consider breaking up with Qin Siyan, this sickly man? I am healthy and can live longer than him!"
The man's words immediately changed the expressions of everyone present.
Madam Qin shouted sternly, "Qin Huai!"
