Two minutes later, Jing Rui sat next to Qiao Qing, staring at Xu Li and Zhang Qiyan in front of him.
After a while, Qiao's mother broke the silence and said with a smile, "Isn't the meal ready? Shouldn't we go eat first?"
Father Qiao also noticed something strange, but he remained silent and said nothing.
Qiao Qing took Jing Rui's arm and said coquettishly, "Yes, let's go eat first. I'm hungry."
Jing Rui's indifferent expression gradually became unsustainable. He reached out and touched Qiao Qing's head, "I'm just thinking about eating."
"Auntie may have to wait a while, my parents haven't arrived yet."
No matter how surprised the people present were to hear this.
Qiao Qing was quite proud, "Eating is a pleasurable thing."
She didn't really care about the other party's parents. After all, what Jing Rui said today still made her feel safe.
Seeing the two of them being so intimate, it seemed as if Jing Rui and Qiao Qing had pierced through that layer of transparent paper overnight, and the smell that emanated was a bit like the sour smell of love.
Zhang Qiyan clenched his fists, his eyes swept across Jing Rui and Qiao Qing inconspicuously, and then he lowered his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.
Xu Li only felt a dull pain in his heart. Even though so many years had passed, his heart had never been disturbed. But at this moment, his disguise of indifference was completely broken.
Jing Rui didn't have time to take care of their emotions. He glanced at Qiao Qing's fingers with a faint gaze, but saw nothing. His eyes changed.
He took Qiao Qing's fair and slender hand and asked, "Where is the ring on your hand?"
"I took it off when I was washing my hands just now. I'll go get it now."
Qiao Qing answered quickly, stood up and trotted to the room.
As for Jing's mother, the moment she received the call, she started preparing her clothes.
Even Jing's father was involved in the trouble.
"I was worried that Jing Rui wouldn't even be able to bring back a girlfriend, but I didn't expect that he would be thinking about getting married in just one month."
Father Jing sat in the car, his well-maintained face showing a thoughtful expression. He touched his chin and asked, "Do all young people like such a fast-paced relationship?"
Jing's mother held a mirror in her fair hands, and she carefully looked at her makeup to see if it was delicate.
Hearing this, he sneered, "We didn't even have a romantic relationship, but we still got married."
She put the mirror away and put it in her bag.
Father Jing glanced at Mother Jing, coughed twice, and said in a negotiating tone, "Give me some face in front of the child later."
However, Jing's mother had no intention of backing down.
He glanced at Jing's father and teased, "Have you ever had face in front of our child?"
"You have a daughter-in-law, don't you? Give her some face."
Jing's father has always been unable to win an argument with Jing's mother, and such conversations are commonplace.
"knew."
Jing's mother picked up her phone and sent a message to Jing Rui.
"When we get there, smile nicely to the girls instead of having such a stern face. What if you scare your daughter-in-law?"
Jing Rui's indifferent and taciturn appearance is indeed like his father.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Jing's father also hopes that Jing Rui can find a girlfriend as soon as possible. Jing's mother talks about this matter every night before going to bed, and her ears are covered with calluses.
The most important thing is that I dare not express any opinions.
Otherwise, under Jing's mother's mouth, I would be said to doubt my life.
"When did they get to know each other? Why didn't I hear anything?"
Jing's father was quite confused by this. "He didn't even tell me that he had a girlfriend, and he only told my family when he was about to get married. I don't know if he still remembers me as his father."
"I'm not sure if he remembers you, but my son told me that he wants to bring his girlfriend home."
Jing's mother suddenly remembered, "Since you handed over the company to your son, you have been drinking tea or fishing every day. Sometimes you go on a trip and stay away for a month."
He crossed his arms and said, "I don't even remember having a home, a wife, or a son."
Speaking of this, Jing's father suddenly felt guilty.
"I just acted on a whim and didn't think too much about it."
Jing's mother smiled, her delicate makeup looked very beautiful. She caught the words and asked back, "Why can you travel on a whim, but my son can't fall in love on a whim?"
"I'm just saying it casually, my son is good in every way, how can there be anything wrong with him?"
There was a thin layer of sweat on Jing's father's forehead, but his face remained calm.
Not long after, the two arrived at the community.
"My son's other house was vacant before, so I thought of introducing a girl to live there so that we can get close to each other and cultivate feelings."
Thinking about this, it was a bit funny and curious. Qiao's mother continued, "In the end, he said that a friend wanted to stay in the other house."
"Then he rented out the house at a low price in the blink of an eye. This brat thought I didn't know."
It was the first time that Jing's father heard about this. "Why haven't I heard you talk about this before?"
Mother Jing rolled her eyes and was a little speechless. "What can you do about it? You have to tell me. My children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
He snorted, "I don't think you've ever worried about your son."
Father Jing was speechless for a moment.
Silently thinking.
With this look, this figure, and this background, do you still need to worry about marriage?
Only this brat looks down on others, how can he be looked down upon by others?
I don't know what kind of girl can win him over.
Mother Qiao didn't care at all whether Father Jing came back or not.
"I found out the tenant was a girl. I was a little surprised at first. I thought he had come to his senses."
Later it was discovered that it was Zhang Runyan who acted on his own initiative.
Fortunately, things developed in the direction she wanted.
"Anyway, the fact that our son wants to get married proves that he really cares about this girl. As parents, we shouldn't hold him back."
Father Jing is still waiting for Mother Jing to tell him the follow-up.
After waiting for a long time, I finally got a summary.
He carefully observed Jing's mother's mood and felt that she was in a good mood, so he said with a thick face, "Wife, can you tell me the whole story of this matter?"
Mother Jing glanced at him and said nonchalantly, "Why do you ask so clearly?"
"You still want to write a love story? If you want to write one, let our son write it."
It's useless to ask.
"Let's go up quickly. I guess our in-laws are waiting for us."
Father Jing thought about going back and investigating it carefully.
Sure enough, gossip is inevitable regardless of gender, age or status.
Mother Jing raised her wrist to check the time, and quickened her pace to catch up with Father Jing, "We should hurry up."
There are a few stars in the night sky today, but the moon is exceptionally round.
There is a reunion atmosphere.
Jing Rui brought Qiao's father and mother to his home.
Originally, the environment outside the door was unremarkable, just an ordinary environment. Except for the door that looked a bit high-end, everything else was within an acceptable range.
It was not until Qiao's father and mother stepped into the door of Jingrui's house that they had the illusion of stepping into a mansion. The surrounding decoration, home appliances, furniture, etc., under the shining orange light, seemed particularly exquisite and precious, and it felt unreal.
Mother Qiao's legs almost went weak.
Father Qiao was also shocked and couldn't help but look back.
Yes, Qiao Qing lives across the street. That's right.
There's no way the difference would be so big, whether it's the space or the decoration and layout, the difference is too big.
The others didn't seem surprised at all and were very used to it.
"Old man, do we have some misunderstanding about Xiao Rui?"
Mother Qiao hugged Father Qiao's hand, approached him and expressed her confusion.
"Does this house look like one that you can't afford to live in?"
Even if you rent it, the rent for such a house will definitely not be cheap.
Thinking of what I had said before about asking Jingrui to save money, I suddenly blushed.
Father Qiao nodded, "It seems to be what we think."
His eyes fell on the paintings on the wall, the red wine in the cabinet, and the curved LCD TV that took up one-third of the wall, and he swallowed.
He continued, "It seems to be a little different from what we thought."
I originally thought he was just a local who had taken out a loan for his house and car, but the guy was handsome, polite and sincere, and it was obvious that he really liked Qiao Qiao.
So the two elders were quite confident in leaving Qiao Qiao to him.
As long as people are willing to make progress, there will be a bright future.
After seeing all this, I guessed in my heart that Jing Rui was most likely a rich second-generation. With their identities, they would likely be looked down upon by others.
Suddenly, my mood began to fluctuate.
Mother Qiao looked up and saw that Jing Rui was looking at her daughter with extremely gentle eyes. Even ice would gradually melt if being stared at like that, let alone a person.
Qiao Qing smiled very sweetly.
"Let's see what happens. My daughter must know Xiao Rui's identity. As father and daughter, we can only support her in whatever she plans to do."
After all, this life is your own, and you have to make your own choices and walk your own path.
Father Qiao agreed and said with a straight face, "If the brat's parents don't agree, we can just leave anyway."
Qiao Qing had no idea that her father and mother were still worried about her future.
She shook Jingrui's arm, "Aren't you going to give a gift?"
Jing Rui thought about it and said, "Well, I'll put the gift on the table."
Qiao Qing smiled and said to Qiao's father and mother, "Mom and Dad, what are you doing? Jing Rui bought you gifts. Come and take a look."
Xu Li watched and felt that something was wrong with this development.
He turned to look at Zhang Qiyan, "Has Jingrui confessed to Qiaoqiao, and Qiaoqiao agreed?"
Zhang Qiyan looked at Xu Li as if he was mentally retarded, "Isn't this obvious?"
His eyes fell on Qiao Qing's hand, "She's wearing the diamond ring. I think it's not a confession, but a proposal."
Xu Li followed Zhang Qiyan's gaze and at first he really didn't notice that the ring Jing Rui was talking about was a diamond ring.
His face turned a little ugly, "Then what are we doing here?"
I almost couldn't hold back my emotions.
Zhang Qiyan looked at Xu Li and said, "Let's go now."
Isn't this a joke to Jing Rui?
Xu Li also thought of it, and immediately curled up a lazy smile, with a gleam of light flashing across his narrow eyes.
"I'm not leaving."
Anyway, standing here would only cause trouble for Jing Rui. He was in a bad mood right now, so naturally he didn't want others to be in a good mood.
"Then sit quietly."
Zhang Qiyan still had a gentle smile on his face, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking at all.
After hearing what Qiao Qing said, Qiao's father and mother quickly quickened their pace and came up to Qiao Qing.
"What gift?"
But the smile seemed a bit forced.
Jing Rui came over with two exquisite gift boxes. He gave one to Qiao's father and one to Qiao's mother.
"I don't know what uncle and aunt like, this is a little gift from me."
The face is sincere and the smile is bright.
Seeing this, Mr. and Mrs. Qiao's depression was relieved a lot.
The two of them opened it and took a look. They saw that it was all jade. They reached out and touched it, and it felt warm.
The box is packed so beautifully, this should be expensive
Isn't this a waste of money for them?
Especially jade bracelets, which are bound to get bumped into when working frequently. If one is broken, the money you earn will not be enough to pay for the jade bracelet on your hand.
Mother Qiao thought for a while and said with a smile, "This bracelet is nice, but it would be a waste of money for me to wear it. You should take it back and return it."
She put the things in her hand back into the box and handed it to Jingrui.
Mr. Qiao also said, "The price doesn't look cheap, so I'd better take it back."
"If you really want to be filial to us, being nice to Qiao Qiao is the greatest filial piety you can do for us."
Naturally, they don't ask for much as parents.
"mom"
Qiao Qing took the box, opened it, and put the jade bracelet on Qiao's mother.
"This is Jingrui's kind gesture. How can you refuse it? Besides, there is no reason to return something you bought."
After putting it on, her wrist was slender and fair against the white jade. She smiled and praised, "Look, isn't it pretty? It doesn't fit. I think it fits very well."
Jing Rui agreed calmly, "Yes, Auntie, I think it looks pretty good."
Qiao Qing took the box from his father and said, "Dad, take it out and try it on too. Receiving gifts is a happy thing. Why are you still refusing?"
Without saying a word, he gave it to Father Qiao.
Then he praised, "This is a couple's pair. Look at it, how well it matches the one mom has."
Turning to Jing Rui, he asked, "Xiao Ruizi, take a look at whether they are a good match."
Jing Rui put his arms around Qiao Qing's waist and raised his lips softly, "You are a good match."
Seeing how good the relationship between the two was, Qiao's father and mother suddenly felt enlightened, and the smiles on their faces became genuine.
"Your father and I will accept the gift."
He turned to look at Jing Rui, "Xiao Rui is thoughtful."
Father Qiao had a stern face and reluctantly said, "It's OK."
As they were talking, the door opened and two people came in.
Jing Rui's eyes showed a hint of warmth, "Mom and Dad, you are here."
He pulled Qiao Qing forward to greet him.
Mother Jing smiled kindly, "After answering the phone, your father and I rushed here."
The corners of Jing's father's mouth also rose, and he looked at Qiao Qing, "This is your girlfriend, she looks like a good girl."
Looking at Qiao Qing's clear eyes and good temperament, it is obvious that she is not that kind of casual girl.
I felt a lot more relieved.
They really don't care about whether the two families are well matched, and the family does not need arranged marriages, so what kind of person the child likes becomes very important.
Qiao Qing bit her lips shyly. She was a little nervous, but she still introduced herself gracefully.
"Hello, uncle and aunt, I'm Qiao Qing, you can call me Qiao Qiao."
"Qiao Qiao, it sounds good."
Mother Jing's eyes fell on Qiao Qing, with a little more satisfaction.
She smiled more enthusiastically, and turned to Jing Rui and said, "Why are you still standing here? Aren't we going to eat?"
Jing Rui remembered that Qiao Qing said he was hungry before.
He leaned close to Qiao Qing's ear and whispered, "Should I serve you rice or soup?"
Qiao Qing smiled sweetly and coquettishly, her eyes curved, and the light in her eyes was tinged with a hint of sweetness.
"I want to have soup first."
When Qiao's father and mother saw that these two people with extraordinary temperaments were actually Jing Rui's parents, they became more and more certain that Jing Rui's identity was extraordinary.
The parents of the two families exchanged some greetings and then began to talk about the marriage of their two children.
Not to mention how shocked Mr. Qiao was that his daughter had agreed to that brat's proposal.
Sitting aside and listening to this conversation, and watching Qiao Qing and Jing Rui showing their affection to each other, I felt so numb inside that the food in my mouth felt tasteless.
You are human beings, can you please not do such shitty things?
Jingrui's cooking skills are superb.
Even Qiao Qing, who wanted to maintain her figure, couldn't help but add two more bowls of rice.
While picking up the chopsticks to pick up the food, she complained to Jing Rui in a low voice, "If I have gained weight, it is mostly due to you."
Jing Rui chuckled and said indulgently, "My mission is to make my wife white and plump."
Then, he raised his slender fingers and picked up several bites of food for Qiao Qing.
"Yes, these are all the ones you like to eat."
Qiao Qing looked at the table full of dishes and found that there was nothing she didn't like.
"Don't pinch it. If you indulge me like this, you can help me lose weight together."
Isn't it normal for foodies to complain about their weight while eating?
"I have the habit of running. I'll take you running with me from now on. After working all day, I really need to exercise more."
Jing Rui's eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth curled up, "Come to think of it, we met while running."
Qiao Qing obviously remembered it too.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I don't know who it was at the time, but you had an arrogant expression of disdain and thought that others were unreasonable. If I had a high martial arts value at the time, I would definitely beat you up."
Jing Rui's indifferent look was really lethal.
Jing Rui was not to be outdone and said, "I didn't know who he was at the time. He looked like a perverted thief. I would have hit a woman if I had done that."
Qiao Qing answered, "Well, if you can hit a woman, what would you do?"
Jing Rui suddenly changed the subject, "Of course I don't dare to hit her. How could I dare to hit my future wife? Wouldn't that mean I will be single for the rest of my life?"
He reached out his hand and naturally put his arm around Qiao Qing's shoulders. "Besides, my wife is so pretty. If I hurt her, no amount of Lihua would be enough to compensate me."
Although this was an exaggeration, Qiao Qing found it unexpectedly useful.
She pursed her lips into a smile and replied softly, "That's more like it."
Seeing how the two young lovers seemed to have a good relationship, the parents of both sides smiled silently.
But in my heart I feel that the wedding should be brought forward.
Xu Li felt that Jing Rui didn't seem to care whether they were here or not. Instead, he felt uncomfortable because of it.
Seeing the person you like showing affection with someone else makes you feel extremely complicated.
He gave Zhang Qiyan a look, asking, "Why don't we just go?"
Zhang Qiyan glanced at the people present, and only he and Xu Li seemed out of place, like outsiders.
Of course, they are outsiders.
He rolled his eyes at Xu Li and said, "You've been here for such a long time, if you want to leave, just go."
If I go back now, wouldn't it seem like I'm running away?
Xu Li doesn't care about face, but he still does. And Qiao Qing doesn't know that he likes him. If he leaves like this, it will be too obvious.
Xu Li frowned and said, "You see Jing Rui doesn't care, we will only make ourselves feel uncomfortable."
Zhang Qiyan calmly took his chopsticks and ate the food without communicating with Xu Li.
Xu Li saw that he couldn't convince Zhang Qiyan and sighed.
His eyes looked at Qiao Qing and Jing Rui, and suddenly became a little dark.
Take a deep breath.
He would lower his head to eat, or pick up his phone to look at it to divert his attention.
After finishing their meal, Xu Li and Zhang Qiyan left Jing Rui's house without stopping.
Qiao's father and mother discussed their marriage with Jing's father and mother for a long time, and they were even choosing the date for their wedding.
Jing Rui is still very concerned about his marriage.
Before, the diamond ring was just used to stir up trouble between the two of them, and the actual wedding ring had to be customized again.
The diamond used was ten carats, but originally they wanted fifteen carats. Qiao Qing felt that it was too big and not beautiful at all, so she changed it to ten carats.
The two got married two months later.
Zhang Qiyan and Xu Li used other matters as an excuse to travel together and did not participate in the wedding.
The two of them were surfing on the sea, experiencing the moment of speed and passion, while Jing Rui and Qiao Qing were holding their wedding.
After they finished surfing and were resting on the shore, Jing Rui and Qiao Qing exchanged rings and kissed.
Zhang Qiyan turned to look at Xu Li, "Do you feel regretful?"
Xu Li smiled, "Of course it's a pity."
His eyes were deep as he looked towards the blue sea, "It's just my problem."
The most important thing is that he did not insist on this relationship in the first place and became a deserter. Now he is not qualified to stand by Qiao Qing's side.
He turned to look at Zhang Qiyan, and said with his thin lips, "What about you? Do you regret it?"
Zhang Qiyan sighed, "I don't know."
"But I think as long as she is happy."
I feel very complicated.
"Bullshit, you are always good at turning around."
Xu Li smiled lazily, his eyes raised, and asked nonchalantly, "If you can really let it go and just think Qiao Qiao is happy, you should be at Jing Rui's wedding now."
Zhang Qiyan smiled and said, "Don't you think you know too much?"
Xu Li also laughed and lit a cigarette. In an instant, the air was filled with smoke and it was impossible to tell the emotion in his eyes.
"It's not like there's no chance. If you're in a relationship, you can break up. If you're married, you can get divorced."
Zhang Qiyan turned to look at Xu Li and asked sincerely, "Do you think Jing Rui's concerned look is possible?"
Although Jing Rui didn't know him, he had heard of some of his deeds and personality.
This is the first time I care about someone, especially a woman, like this.
When Jing Rui's wedding date was set, the entire upper class circle was shocked.
I can’t believe that Jing Rui, who is not interested in women, would fall in love with someone in such a short time and even have their wedding planned.
The two had different thoughts, but their blessings to Qiao Qing gradually drifted away with the waves, along with a trace of affection that they had no time to express.
