Chapter 25 Mini-Theatre - New Year's Day, "Mirror of Revelation" Mixed Doubles
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, a subtle atmosphere permeated the entrance of the Qu family villa.
Qu Xiaoxiao lazily leaned against her Porsche, watching coldly as her mother forced a smile while directing the servants to load New Year's goods into the trunk of Qu's father's Mercedes-Benz.
That was to be taken back home to the old lady.
Qu's mother had a face full of grievance, but she tried to act magnanimous and said to Qu's father,
"The old lady doesn't like me. As a daughter-in-law, I can't be ignorant. You take all the things with you. I've picked out the best ones."
Father Qu looked a little embarrassed and patted her hand.
"I've wronged you over the years."
Qu's mother glanced at her daughter not far away and lowered her voice.
"It's okay for me to feel wronged. But even though Xiaoxiao is a daughter, she is still the blood of your Qu family. Every New Year, it's just the two of us, mother and daughter, guarding this big house in the cold and lonely..."
Her eyes were slightly red. "Have a good talk with your daughter later."
Father Qu nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I know."
He seemed to want to avoid this embarrassment and quickly changed the subject.
"I heard that you and Xiaoxiao should go abroad to have fun and relax these two days. We will be back in two days."
Qu's mother nodded lightly.
Father Qu then walked towards Qu Xiaoxiao, forcing a fatherly smile on his face.
"Xiao Xiao, go out and have fun with mommy. Buy whatever you like. Daddy will pay for it!"
Qu Xiaoxiao didn't even bother to lift her eyelids, she just rolled her eyes.
"I can earn my own money. Dad, if you're really generous, why don't you just give me the company?"
Father Qu's face froze, and he deliberately put on a stern face, trying to pass it off as a joke.
"You kid, you're talking nonsense again!"
At this moment, a black Bentley stopped steadily at the door of the Qu family.
The car door opened and Zhao Ziqian, dressed in a well-tailored black coat, stepped out with an outstanding temperament.
When Qu Xiaoxiao saw him, her eyes lit up and she jumped over like a happy little bird and hung on him like a sloth.
"Zhao Ziqian! Why are you here?!"
Zhao Ziqian caught her steadily, but his eyes passed over her head and politely looked at Qu's father who looked doubtful, and whispered in her ear:
"Be good and come down. Your parents are watching."
"Oh~"
Qu Xiaoxiao responded obediently, which was rare for her, and jumped off him.
Zhao Ziqian then straightened his clothes, took a step forward, smiled politely, and said to Qu's father,
"Uncle, Happy New Year. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, are you...going out?"
Qu Xiaoxiao immediately chimed in with a sarcastic tone,
"Yes, it's like this every year. He brings his precious son back to his hometown to pay New Year's greetings to my grandma!"
Zhao Ziqian immediately pretended to be very embarrassed when he heard this, frowning slightly.
"Oh, this... It seems that I came at a really bad time. I wanted to pay a formal visit to the old couple during the New Year to wish them a happy new year. This is really..."
Taiwei Group is so famous. Qu's father never dreamed that Zhao Ziqian would appear at his door holding his daughter's hand.
If he were to establish a relationship with the Taiwei Group, who would dare to say that his Qu family was a nouveau riche?
Group, that’s a group!
Qu's father asked cautiously, "What are you and Xiaoxiao doing...?"
Zhao Ziqian took Qu Xiaoxiao's hand and said solemnly,
"Uncle, let me formally introduce myself. I'm Zhao Ziqian from Taiwei Group, Xiaoxiao's boyfriend."
He smiled apologetically, "I came here specially to visit you today, but it seems... I came at an unfortunate time."
He turned his head, looked at Qu Xiaoxiao, and asked deliberately,
"You want to go back with me?"
Qu Xiaoxiao naturally understood his hidden meaning and snorted, her voice rising high.
"How is that possible? My family has the throne to inherit, so I have to take my son back! My mother and I will stay in the cold palace to look after the house!"
Qu's father's expression instantly turned extremely ugly, and he scolded,
"Xiao Xiao!"
Zhao Ziqian nodded in understanding, his face still wearing an impeccable polite smile, but every word he said was heartbreaking.
"So that's how it is. Then uncle, you can take your son with you. I'm just going to pick up Xiao Xiao and Auntie to celebrate the New Year at my home."
He turned to Qu's mother, whose eyes were already sparkling, and said in a gentle and polite tone, "Auntie, would you be so kind as to honor me? I've heard from Xiaoxiao that you're also an outstanding businessman, and that you and your uncle started from scratch. It just so happens that several of my acquaintances are here on the board today, so I'd like to introduce you to Xiaoxiao."
Qu's mother straightened her back instantly, her face was proud, and she responded repeatedly,
"Yes! Yes! Of course!"
She had never felt so proud in the Qu family in her life!
Zhao Ziqian smiled with satisfaction, and while signaling the driver to unload the generous New Year gifts that had been prepared long ago and were obviously worth a lot of money from the trunk of the Bentley, he said to Qu's father,
"Then uncle, we won't bother you for now."
When Qu's father saw this scene, his heart immediately tilted, his attitude changed 180 degrees, and he hurried forward to stop them.
"Oh my! What are you talking about! Mr. Zhao... Ziqian, this is your first official visit, how can you just leave like that? Please come in, please come in!"
He immediately turned to Qu Lianjie who was standing beside him in a daze and said,
"Call your grandma and tell her we have a distinguished guest. Come back in a couple of days!"
Qu Lianjie stood by the car, dumbfounded. "Dad? Grandma is waiting for me, the eldest grandson, to come back and pay New Year's greetings!"
Qu's father turned a deaf ear to her and warmly pulled Zhao Ziqian into the house, whispering to Qu's mother,
"My daughter is amazing! This is Zhao Ziqian from Taiwei, much better than the previous Doctor Zhao!"
Qu's mother snorted coldly, walked past Qu's father with her head held high, without even looking at him.
Zhao Ziqian lowered his voice and asked Qu Xiaoxiao, "What New Year's gift do you want?"
Qu Xiaoxiao blinked her big eyes and said mischievously,
"I want my dad's company!"
Zhao Ziqian raised his lips to a wicked smile, "Within this year!"
He smiled and added, "There are conditions."
"What are the conditions?" Qu Xiaoxiao was curious.
"Come home with me tomorrow and use your special talents."
"What's your specialty?"
Qu Xiaoxiao was shocked, "Do I have any special skills in your place?
Zhao Ziqian smiled mysteriously, "Deal with these weird relatives!"
Qu Xiaoxiao sneered, "Professional counterparts, arrange it!"
