It was almost eleven o'clock. After Chen Qianqian finished taking care of the affairs of Qiancaotang, she said to Long Yi tiredly:
"Honey, my aunt's flight is at 10 o'clock and will arrive at the Beijing airport in about half an hour. I'm going to pick her up now. You should go back to the apartment first."
Long Yi walked forward and gently stroked the ends of Chen Qianqian's hair, saying softly, "How can I let you drive alone in the middle of the night? Let me go with you."
"Well, thank you for your hard work, husband!" A warm feeling flowed through Chen Qianqian's heart.
Beijing International Airport.
A middle-aged woman wearing expensive fur, black stilettos, and exquisite makeup shouted impatiently, "Chen Qianqian is getting more and more outrageous. It's been five minutes and she's still nowhere to be found!"
In the distance, after Long Yi parked the car, Chen Qianqian immediately got out and ran to Zhou Xiaoli's side and apologized, "Auntie, I'm so sorry. There was a traffic jam on the road, and I was a few minutes late."
"I see there's a traffic jam over there. It's obvious that you're relying on your little money to look down on me, your elder. The wind in Beijing at night is as sharp as a knife. If it makes my face rough, I'll have to spend tens of thousands of dollars on cosmetics for maintenance!" Zhou Xiaoli shrilled, looking unreasonable.
Chen Qianqian took the heavy luggage and said with an awkward smile, "Auntie, I rushed to the airport as soon as I finished my work. I didn't mean to disrespect you. It's windy outside, let's get in the car and talk first."
Zhou Xiaoli followed Chen Qianqian empty-handed. Not only did she not show any intention of helping, she also kept complaining.
Behind Zhou Xiaoli was a girl about 20 years old with exaggerated makeup, and next to her was a short, fat, bearded white man, who was Zhou Xiaoli's foreign husband.
"Chen Qianqian, are you going to use this car to pick us up?" The heavily made-up girl looked at the Volkswagen logo in front of her with a hint of contempt in her eyes.
She is Zhou Xiaoli's daughter Zhou Wenwen. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and has been spoiled abroad since she was a child. Her mother used to say that Chen Qianqian's family was doing well in Beijing and wanted to come to Beijing to make some money by relying on their relatives. Now it seems that it was all a false illusion packaged in the circle of friends.
Driving this broken car can only provide you with enough food and clothing in Beijing. How can Zhou Mingyan have the nerve to act rich and show off in her circle of friends?
Chen Qianqian was speechless after struggling to put the luggage into the trunk. This family was full of ugly faces that despised the poor and loved the rich. This Volkswagen was just bought by Long Yi because he didn't want to be too conspicuous in the alleys of Qiancaotang. However, she didn't want to explain too much at this time, so she said lightly:
"Cousin, with the financial situation at home, I still have to pay off the loan for ten years for this junky car you're talking about. Excuse me."
Sure enough, after Chen Qianqian finished speaking, a hint of ridicule flashed in Zhou Xiaoli's eyes. She originally wanted to make some money from her sister's family, but she didn't expect that the other party turned out to be a fake rich man. This way, she could step on him and show off her superiority, and this trip would not be in vain.
After getting in the car, they naturally ignored Long Yi. There was no conversation along the way, and the car drove calmly into the Zijin Pavilion villa area.
Zhou Xiaoli looked at the luxuriously decorated and huge villas in the villa area in surprise. According to the high housing prices in Beijing, the price of any villa in this villa area would be at least over 100 million!
"Chen Qianqian, are you still trying to show off? Don't you think this broken car doesn't fit in with the villa area?" Zhou Wenwen sarcastically mocked.
Before Chen Qianqian could answer, the car drove into the Zijin Pavilion Villa.
Zhou Mingyan came forward to greet the guests in gorgeous clothes. She spent an entire afternoon putting on exquisite makeup, just to outshine Zhou Xiaoli when she met her.
After getting off the car, Zhou Xiaoli also put on a fake smile and said, "Sister, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still so radiant and charming!"
"Sister, you've taken good care of yourself. You've lived abroad for so many years. Your clothes are more fashionable than those of celebrities." Zhou Mingyan said with a smile.
"But I don't understand, you live in a valuable villa, why Qianqian drives such a low-end car?" Zhou Xiaoli said sarcastically.
Zhou Mingyan glanced at Long Yi in the driver's seat and immediately said with a cold face, "Long Yi, you don't drive your perfectly good Bentley, but drive this shabby grocery cart to pick up Qianqian's aunt? If someone didn't know, they would think our family couldn't survive!"
Zhou Wenwen cleverly grasped Long Yi's identity from Zhou Xiaoli's words, which means that this plainly dressed young man is her cousin's boyfriend?
She immediately said sarcastically, "Hey! Cousin, it was your boyfriend who was driving just now. I thought he was the driver because of the way he was dressed!"
Chen Qianqian is now in a state of confusion. This family of relatives is really obsessed with money, and their words and actions are full of a sense of superiority.
She knew that Long Yi was busy with all sorts of things in Beijing and definitely didn't want to get involved in this kind of trouble. She said slowly, "Mom, Auntie, you two haven't seen each other for so long. Let's catch up later. Brother Yi and I will go back to the apartment to rest first."
Zhou Xiaoli was overjoyed when she learned that the young man who had just driven the car was Chen Qianqian's boyfriend. The poor boy had only a few hundred dollars on his body. You know, her daughter's boyfriend is a young talent. At the age of 25, he is already the head of the surgery department of Mingde Hospital.
Of course, she couldn't miss the opportunity to show off her superiority, so she quickly put on the airs of an elder and said without question, "Qianqian, your boyfriend is here, why don't you have dinner with him? Are you so disrespectful to your aunt?"
Chen Qianqian gritted her teeth and looked at Long Yi in the car with some embarrassment. She really didn't want to trouble Long Yi because of her snobbish relatives.
Long Yi had excellent hearing, so he naturally took in everything outside the car. He got out of the car and said bluntly, "It's okay, Qianqian, let's have dinner together. After all, we're family sooner or later."
Zhou Wenwen looked Long Yi up and down and sneered inwardly. He exuded a sense of poverty all over his body. His appearance and figure were outstanding, but can being handsome be used to make a living in this day and age?
At the dinner table, Zhou Xiaoli's family's words and actions were full of a sense of superiority, and they soon directed their attacks at Long Yi.
"Are you Qianqian's boyfriend? Which university did you graduate from? How much is your savings now? Have you bought a house and a car?" Zhou Xiaoli asked in rapid succession.
Long Yi frowned. With his current wealth, he could buy a hundred Zhou families, but after all, they were Qianqian's relatives, and he didn't want to lose face.
"Aunt Zhou, I didn't go to college, and I don't have much savings. Right now, I'm just thinking about running the clinic well with Qianqian."
After hearing what Long Yi said, Zhou Wenwen showed a hint of pride on her face. This poor boy's conditions were far inferior to her boyfriend's.
"Cousin, no matter what, you are a direct descendant of the Zhou family and represent the face of the Zhou family. How can you just casually find a poor, stinking bitch like this?"
