Chapter 82 Xing Xiaochu immediately perked up and shouted, "Hello, Mom."
In Xing Xiaochu's impression, Qi Ying is a very mature and steady woman.
At the beginning, she was gentle and considerate. She provided Xing Xiaochu with a room and helped her solve the problem of her father. In her eyes, Qi Ying was like a goddess.
Later, Xing Xiaochu found out that he was an NPC in the game, and Qi Ying was an ordinary person who lived in the attic of a store, with no car or house.
But even so, Xing Xiaochu still thinks she is a very good person, very good to herself and to others. Although she is cold, she is a good person with a kind heart.
But when Xing Xiaochu stood in front of the five-star hotel, she was slightly stunned.
"Sister, is this the restaurant you booked?" Xing Xiaochu pointed at the huge water curtain fountain in front of her and the towering luxury hotel sign, asking carefully for confirmation.
Qi Ying nodded, glanced at the time and said, "They are almost here, let's go in and order food first."
Xing Xiaochu got out of the car in a daze, and watched Qi Ying lead her through the luxurious hall, and then through corridors under the guidance of the waiter, and finally came to a large suite with a reception room outside and a restaurant inside.
Aren’t we just going to have a meal as a family? Why do we have to come to such an expensive place?
Xing Xiaochu's heart trembled slightly. She still remembered that Qi Ying had to pay off the mortgage after buying the house. Wasn't it not good to be so extravagant?
"Sister," Xing Xiaochu tugged at the corner of Qi Ying's clothes and whispered, "If we are just a family, there is no need to come to such an expensive restaurant, right? This place looks really expensive..."
Qi Ying also frowned and said helplessly: "There is no way, my mother is like this, she will be very picky about low-end hotels, and she can nag for a long time, which is very troublesome."
Xing Xiaochu was stunned. It turned out that the fundamental reason why Qi Ying never planned his spending was due to his genes.
"Then..." Xing Xiaochu looked at her and said seriously, "Remember to pack up the food you can't finish."
Qi Ying: “…Okay.”
Not long after sitting down, Qi Ying received a call saying that Zhao Jinyin was almost there, just two blocks away, so Qi Ying asked the waiter to serve the dishes.
Xing Xiaochu became more and more nervous. She sat beside Qi Ying uneasily and kept adjusting her clothes, worried that her outfit was not pretty enough and whether Qi Ying's mother would dislike her.
Qi Ying saw Xing Xiaochu's uneasiness, gently held her hand, and said, "Don't be nervous, let me tell you about my family members first. My mother runs a company, and our family has a little money, so she is arrogant and straightforward. Don't take anything she says to heart, and remember to tell me if you feel wronged."
Xing Xiaochu nodded.
Qi Ying added, "Uncle Tao is a university professor. After being with my mother, he had another child, my sister, Tao An'an. She is 6 years old and just started first grade. Uncle Tao is a nice guy with a very kind temperament. My sister Tao An'an is a bit like my mother. She is agitated but well-behaved. She is only lively in front of acquaintances."
Xing Xiaochu nodded again.
"Only three of them will come today. I'll introduce the others when we have time to meet them." Qi Ying smiled and rubbed Xing Xiaochu's soft cheek, saying to her, "Don't be afraid. It's just a normal meeting and dinner."
Xing Xiaochu looked at her anxiously: "What if I said something wrong?"
Qi Ying raised an eyebrow: "If you said something wrong, it's fine. I won't hit you for saying something wrong. Don't be afraid, be good."
As soon as they finished speaking, they heard a commotion at the door. The waiter pushed the door open, and Zhao Jinyin came in with her family.
"A Ying."
As soon as Zhao Jinyin came in, she saw her eldest daughter and shouted happily: "Long time no see, mom missed you so much!"
Xing Xiaochu stared blankly at Zhao Jinyin's family. The woman was wearing a white fur coat with a bright red dress underneath. Her long wavy hair looked well-groomed. She had a smile on her face since she entered the door.
"This is Xiaochu, right?" Zhao Jinyin smiled with her eyes curved. Her nose and mouth were very similar to Qi Ying's. She walked up to Xing Xiaochu and looked at the little girl.
Qi Ying frowned, but greeted her honestly: "Mom."
Xing Xiaochu immediately perked up and shouted, "Hello, Mom." After shouting, Xing Xiaochu realized that she had shouted the wrong thing. Her little face turned red and she quickly changed her words, "Ah, Hello, Auntie..."
Zhao Jinyin was very happy. She asked the man behind her to bring the bag over. Then she took out a velvet box from it and stuffed it into Xing Xiaochu's arms.
"I came here in a hurry and didn't bring you any gifts." Zhao Jinyin said, "This is my little gift to you. I hope you like it, Xiaochu."
Xing Xiaochu held the box and looked back at Qi Ying cautiously.
"Mom, what did you give me?" Qi Ying asked, "Can I open it and take a look?"
Zhao Jinyin looked at her with disdain: "This is what I gave to Xiaochu, what are you looking at?"
Having said that, Zhao Jinyin still pulled out the chair next to Xing Xiaochu and sat down. She also pulled Xing Xiaochu to sit next to her and opened the velvet box.
All I saw was a large golden area on the red velvet box, two pairs of large gold bracelets the size of loach backs, a thick and long gold necklace, a gold ring as big as a jade ring, and two large shiny 500g gold bars.
Qi Ying opened his eyes wide.
Those who know think it is to meet the daughter-in-law, while those who don’t think it is human trafficking.
Why is there so much gold???
Xing Xiaochu probably had never seen so much gold before, and he just felt that the golden color was dazzling. Then he heard Zhao Jinyin say with a smile: "Aying has never mentioned your affairs before, so I don't know what I should give you. Anyway, gold is hard currency. If you like it, you can wear it. If you don't like it, it's good to keep it at home and appreciate in value."
As Zhao Jinyin spoke, she took off an emerald green bracelet from her hand and pulled it onto Xing Xiaochu's gloves.
"This is the jade bracelet left by Grandma Aying." Zhao Jinyin said seriously: "This thing is precious. Be careful when wearing it, don't lose it."
Xing Xiaochu became nervous when she heard that it was very expensive. She was wearing cheap clothes and there was no way she could afford to wear an "expensive" jade bracelet.
"This is too expensive. Auntie, you should keep it." Xing Xiaochu was so scared that she shook her head repeatedly, took off the bracelet on her hand and gave it back to Zhao Jinyin: "It will be more suitable for you to wear."
Zhao Jinyin smiled so hard that her eyes disappeared. She held Xing Xiaochu's hand and looked so happy. She said with a smile, "Okay, then wear it on my hand first, and give it to Aying after you two get married."
During the conversation, Uncle Tao had already sat down with Tao Anan.
Uncle Tao wore glasses and looked very easy-going. He first arranged for his daughter to sit next to Zhao Jinyin. Then, seeing that the restaurant was busy, he took out hangers from the cabinet next to him and hung up his daughter and wife's coats. He then poured water for the people at the table and then sat down at the seat next to them.
Zhao Jinyin talked to Xing Xiaochu for a while, then turned around to look at Tao Anan beside her and said to her, "Anan, did you call me sister?"
Tao Anan hasn't spoken a word since she entered the house. Her eyes kept moving between Qi Ying and Xing Xiaochu. She was not very familiar with Qi Ying because her sister, who was almost 20 years older than her, seldom came home.
After hearing her mother speak, Tao Anan greeted Qi Ying: "Hello, sister."
Qi Ying nodded: "Yeah."
Tao Anan turned her gaze to Xing Xiaochu again, not knowing how to address her.
Uncle Tao whispered beside him, "Call Xiaochu Sister."
Tao Anan then said, "Hello, Sister Xiaochu."
Xing Xiaochu has no brothers or sisters, and she doesn't usually interact with her relatives. This is the first time someone has called her "sister" except for the children on the street.
"Hello..." Xing Xiaochu looked at Tao Anan with sparkling eyes, full of excitement.
She has a younger sister too.
My little sister is small and well-behaved, so cute!
As they chatted, the waiter brought the dishes and filled the table. Zhao Jinyin picked up food for Xing Xiaochu while chatting. It was obvious that she was very satisfied with the girlfriend chosen by Qi Ying.
When they were almost done eating, Zhao Jinyin went to the bathroom and pulled Qi Ying out.
"What are you doing?" Qi Ying let her mother pull her to the bathroom and looked at her with confusion.
Zhao Jinyin looked her daughter up and down and asked her, "What do you mean? You're almost getting married, but you're just notifying us now. Am I still your mother?"
Qi Ying said with a headache: "Don't you know it now?"
"If I hadn't come, would you two have gotten your marriage certificate while I was still in the dark?"
"That won't happen."
Seeing Qi Ying's attitude, Zhao Jinyin was furious and scolded her, "You just do whatever you want without any plans or goals. What on earth did Xing Xiaochu like about you that she was willing to marry you?"
Qi Ying curled her lips and let her be scolded.
Let her scold you, Qi Ying always just ignores it and never takes it to heart.
Zhao Jinyin also noticed it, but she didn't bother to argue. She just leaned against the sink with her arms around her chest and asked her, "You are getting married soon. Have you prepared the house and car?"
Qi Ying nodded: "Everything has been bought. The car is Xia Ruoxin's. She drove it for only a few years and sold it to me at a discount. I've also found a house. The contract will be signed next month. I just need to wait for the bank to approve the loan."
Zhao Jinyin was so angry that she slapped her on the arm.
"Used cars, mortgaged houses, where did you spend all the money you earned from working these years!" Zhao Jinyin asked, "Isn't your store's income very good? A piece of clothing costs tens of thousands of yuan, how come you can't even afford a house?!"
Qi Ying was horrified: "Mom, I'm only 26 this year, how can I afford to buy a house in full?"
Zhao Jinyin said: "When I was your age, I already had several companies."
Qi Ying: “…”
Don't want to talk.
"If you have nothing to do, I'll leave first." Qi Ying said lightly: "Xiaochu will be scared alone."
"etc."
Zhao Jinyin looked at Qi Ying with disdain, took out a bank card from her pocket and handed it over.
"The password is your birthday." Zhao Jinyin said, "How can we get married without a house? There is money in it that I prepared for you. You can buy a better car later and buy the house in full. This money is enough."
Qi Ying was stunned for a moment. She looked at the glittering bank card in Zhao Jinyin's hand, and after a while she said, "I don't plan to take your money."
Zhao Jinyin said: "This is for Xiaochu. She is such a good girl, she can't let her suffer because of you."
Qi Ying: “…”
After hesitating for a second, Qi Ying took Zhao Jinyin's bank card: "Thank you, Mom."
Zhao Jinyin glared at her: "You're still being polite to me."
