When Liu Xiaoyuan got home, his parents were still awake, so he went into their room and chatted with them for a while.
From his parents' words, Liu Xiaoyuan could tell that they missed Wang Xueqi very much. Humans are emotional beings, especially the elderly.
Wang Xueqi had been staying at her home for ten days to half a month. Her parents had long treated her like their own granddaughter, so it was understandable that they couldn't adjust to her sudden return home.
"Dad, Mom, Xueqi is my colleague's daughter after all. She'll be coming home sooner or later. You two shouldn't overthink it," Liu Xiaoyuan comforted her.
Mom continued, "Xiaoyuan, we don't need to worry about you, just hurry up and get married and have a child so we can take care of them!"
Wow! My mom's thinking is so quick! She was just talking about Wang Xueqi, and now she's turned the gun on me and brought up my marriage.
"Dad, Mom, I'm going to take a shower!" Liu Xiaoyuan said as he walked out of the room, deciding that running away was the best option.
"You silly child, whenever this is mentioned, you either run away or say you know. Hurry up!" Mom's voice came from the room!
Hearing his mother's words, Liu Xiaoyuan thought to himself, "This wife isn't like vegetables at the market; you can't just grab her whenever you want."
The next day, after Liu Xiaoyuan finished practicing his skills, his mother continued the conversation that they hadn't finished the night before.
"Xiao Yuan, how did the blind date you had last time go? Your dad and I are quite satisfied with her," Mom asked.
Liu Xiaoyuan knew his mother was talking about Tan Wanyi, so he said, "She's alright!"
Upon hearing this, Mom pressed for details, asking, "What else could it be? How did things go with that girl? If things are going well, we'll get married this year!"
"Mom, let's talk about this later. Let's start cooking first!" Liu Xiaoyuan said with a grin.
Mom knew Liu Xiaoyuan was avoiding the question again, but she couldn't do anything about it, so she could only say, "Hurry up, do you hear me?"
"Yes, Mom!" Liu Xiaoyuan nodded quickly.
After breakfast, Liu Longhui, a friend, came to Liu Xiaoyuan's house. Before even entering, he shouted, "Xiaoyuan, Xiaoyuan!"
"What are you yelling for, you bastard!" Liu Xiaoyuan said to his friend Liu Longhui as he walked out of the house.
Liu Longhui chuckled and said, "Xiao Yuan, I'm not a fangirl, I'm just in heat!"
Liu Xiaoyuan glared at the guy. This guy had indeed been horny lately. He'd heard he'd found a girlfriend, and her family was supposedly quite well-off.
"Hey buddy, tell me, what brings you here today?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked, knowing that this guy must have something to say since he came to see him so early in the morning.
Liu Longhui said with a smile, "Xiao Yuan, aren't you the general manager of Huaqiang Hotel? I'm having lunch today with my girlfriend's family and friends, so I decided to host a banquet at Huaqiang Hotel. I came to see you to see if you could give me a discount."
Liu Xiaoyuan replied without hesitation, "A discount is fine, 10% off!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Longhui said, "Xiao Yuan, that's not very brotherly of you. Only 10% off, how about 40% off?"
What the hell! You have the nerve to ask for a 60% discount? Do you think I own this hotel and can just offer a 60% discount whenever I want? What about other hotels that don't make a profit?!
"60% off? Go home and have a good dream!" Liu Xiaoyuan said irritably. How could he even say such a thing?
"No way!" Liu Longhui walked a step toward Liu Xiaoyuan with a grin and said, "Xiaoyuan, I don't have that much money on me. That's why I came to you. I can't give you a 40% discount, but can you lend me some money?"
"How much do you want?" Liu Xiaoyuan agreed to Liu Longhui's request without hesitation.
After all, this was the first time Liu Longhui had invited his girlfriend's family and relatives to dinner, so he definitely wanted to make a grand entrance.
As a good friend, Liu Xiaoyuan would naturally offer his support without hesitation. Besides, Liu Xiaoyuan wasn't short of money and was financially capable of helping Liu Longhui.
Liu Longhui thought for a moment and said, "Lend me five thousand, or three thousand if you don't have that much!"
“Come on, follow me to get the money, five thousand!” Liu Xiaoyuan said.
"Hey! Brother, thank you so much!" Liu Longhui said with a smile, and then followed Liu Xiaoyuan to the street to withdraw the money.
"Don't waste money like that in the future, understand?" Liu Xiaoyuan said to the guy, who liked to spend money on women instead of using it for anything worthwhile.
"Don't worry, I have a girlfriend now, so I have someone to keep me company on lonely nights, and I won't waste money anymore! Thanks, brother!" Liu Longhui said in a very boastful manner.
Liu Longhui took the five thousand yuan home, while Liu Xiaoyuan went to work.
At 12:30 pm, Liu Xiaoyuan received a call from Liu Longhui, saying that he and his girlfriend's family were almost at the hotel entrance.
Liu Xiaoyuan immediately went to the hotel entrance to greet him, to support his childhood friend.
Soon, Liu Longhui appeared in Liu Xiaoyuan's sight. Liu Longhui got off a minibus with a joyful smile on his face.
Wow! Liu Longhui's girlfriend's family came in a lot of numbers, they even arrived in minibuses.
Apart from Liu Longhui's parents and Liu Longhui himself, everyone in the car was from his girlfriend's family.
Liu Xiaoyuan counted them, and wow, there were a total of eighteen people!
Is this an engagement banquet? But that doesn't make sense. If it were an engagement banquet, Liu Longhui's relatives would be coming too.
Unsure of what was going on, Liu Xiaoyuan decided to ask Liu Longhui for clarification later.
"This is the general manager of this hotel, my good friend Liu Xiaoyuan," Liu Longhui introduced as he led his girlfriend's family to Liu Xiaoyuan.
Liu Xiaoyuan then noticed Liu Longhui's girlfriend, who was about 1.6 meters tall and of average appearance, but dressed rather glamorously and wore heavy makeup.
I had previously learned from Liu Longhui that his girlfriend's name was Chen Yan and that her family was in business. As for how they met, according to Liu Longhui, that show-off, it was love at first sight.
That day, Liu Longhui went to karaoke with some friends, and Chen Yan was there too. Liu Longhui said that he fell in love with Chen Yan the moment he saw her.
So later, when singing, he specially requested a song called "The Boatman's Love" and invited Chen Yan to sing it with him.
Chen Yan did not refuse and sang "The Boatman's Love" with Liu Longhui.
After the song, Liu Longhui took the opportunity to send Chen Yan home, but ended up taking her to a hotel. The two were like dry wood meeting a raging fire, and instantly they were in the thick of it.
Liu Longhui said he was completely unprepared that night, so he didn't even take any precautions. Afterwards, Liu Longhui had already bought medicine for Chen Yan, but Chen Yan said it was fine and she would give birth to the child if she was pregnant.
Liu Longhui was so moved by Chen Yan's words that he cried. He felt that after so many years, he had finally met a good woman!
