Qiu Chen smiled awkwardly: "How could that be? Ranran, don't talk nonsense here."
Lu Qingyan scoffed. That same phrase again, as if she couldn't say anything at all. Every time she brought up a certain topic, there was always someone telling her not to talk nonsense or spout rubbish.
Before Lu Qingyan could say anything more, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang returned. They were stunned when they saw Qiu Chen, and then smiled warmly at him.
Madam Jiang smiled and said, "Qiu Chen is here. Have you eaten yet?"
"I've already eaten," Qiu Chen said politely as he stood up.
Seeing Madam Jiang and the others return, Qiu Chen unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
"What are you talking about?" Mr. Jiang asked casually.
Just as Jiang Qiqi was about to take Madam Jiang's hand and act coquettishly, Lu Qingyan suddenly said, "We were talking about Jiang Qiqi going to Chen Xuyang's birthday banquet tomorrow with Qiu Chen."
Jiang Qiqi was stunned, and Qiu Chen was also dumbfounded.
The two of them never expected that Lu Qingyan would dare to tell Mr. and Mrs. Jiang about this.
It was originally just a small matter; the three of them talked about it amongst themselves and didn't intend to let their parents know.
"What?" Mr. Jiang didn't understand. "Tomorrow night? Ranran, aren't you going with Qiuchen tomorrow night?"
They already discussed this matter last night.
"Oh, Jiang Qiqi said she wanted Qiu Chen to go with her and didn't want me to go," Lu Qingyan said casually, making Jiang's parents feel strange.
"Nonsense, how can your sister not go?" In front of Qiu Chen, Mr. Jiang was a little embarrassed.
Qiu Chen is the eldest daughter's boyfriend, so why is the younger daughter getting involved here?
"But...but I want to go. I don't have a male companion, so please let Brother Chen go with me. Sister, you're the best, please." It's true that someone is pursuing Jiang Qiqi, but that person didn't actively pursue her as she said. Rather, Jiang Qiqi gave him that illusion first, attracting him to her side.
If Jiang Qiqi hadn't met Qiu Chen, she might have ended up with that person. But now that she has met Qiu Chen, how could she possibly like that person again?
With better options available, the original backup plan becomes less important.
Jiang Qiqi had handled this kind of thing with ease in the past, but this time the person was more difficult. So, Jiang Qiqi lied to everyone, saying that she already had a boyfriend, Qiu Chen, and that Qiu Chen would be accompanying her to the banquet.
The words had already been spoken, and now she was in a difficult position. Therefore, she had to persuade Lu Qingyan to let Qiu Chen accompany her. As long as she handled this matter well, she wouldn't lose face, and that person would definitely have no further contact with her.
She thought that if she acted cute and cried, Lu Qingyan would agree, but she actually told her parents.
Jiang Qiqi was both angry and anxious, so she could only put on an even more pitiful look.
"This—you, what about your sister?" Madam Jiang felt sorry for her youngest daughter, but she couldn't say anything to her eldest daughter, so she could only think of another way and suggested, "How about letting your cousin accompany you..." Before Madam Jiang could finish speaking, Jiang Qiqi said directly, "I don't want my cousin to accompany me!"
"Qiqi." Father Jiang looked at his youngest daughter with displeasure and a hint of warning: "Qiu Chen is your future brother-in-law, but your cousin also grew up with you. Is your cousin less important to you than him?"
