Chapter 9 Found a treasure?
After receiving Zhou Qingti's WeChat message, Lin Miao immediately called him and asked in disbelief, "You said you were getting married? Did you lose the truth or dare game?"
Zhou Qingti calmly told her: "I'm not lying to you. I've already met the parents."
Lin Miao thought that Zhou Qingti must be crazy, or possessed by an evil spirit.
"Where are you now? I'll come find you." Lin Miao is a man of action, and she is already preparing to put on her shoes and go out.
"At home." She is Zhou Qingti's only good friend, and she always appears in time whenever he needs her.
When Lin Miao rushed to her house, she was putting on makeup. Zhou Qingti pulled her to the cloakroom and said, "I'm going to meet his parents tonight. What do you think I should wear?"
Zhou Qingti played the role of a little girl falling in love very well. At least Lin Miao believed it and was almost going crazy.
Lin Miao scratched the back of her hair: "No! Are you really getting married? Who?"
Zhou Qingti's attention was still on his clothes: "Lu Yanzhi, the Lu Yanzhi from Luyi Group."
Lin Miao pulled her over, holding her arms with both hands, looking incredulous: "Lu Yanzhi? When did you know him? How come I don't know anything about him?"
"After I got cheated on, we fell in love at first sight and hit it off right away." Zhou Qingti looked serious and didn't seem to be lying.
But this news was hard for her to digest, so her best friend was going to marry the richest man in G City, and it was a flash marriage.
Lin Miao hugged Zhou Qingti as if her Ren and Du meridians were opened and shouted, "So you're going to be a rich wife! Ahhh my bestie finally got rich! I'm finally clinging to a rich woman!"
Yes, her train of thought is very unique, she is worthy of being Zhou Qingti’s friend.
While helping her choose clothes, Lin Miao questioned her about the details: "How did you get this kind of old money?"
"Old money?" Zhou Qingti didn't understand this word.
Lin Miao patiently explained, "It's old money, meaning families that have been wealthy for generations. This type of people are elegant and understated in their lifestyles, have a high pursuit of quality, and place a premium on experience and long-term value. To sum it up in one sentence: unobtrusive nobility."
The word "unobtrusive nobility" is very suitable to describe Lu Yanzhi.
"I suddenly feel a little nervous. His family is so rich, will I look like a bumpkin?" Zhou Qingti was not lying, he was really worried.
Lin Miao comforted her, "It's okay. The fact that he likes you means you have something special about you. You also look very elegant. Otherwise, why don't you try on the makeup and outfit of a rich girl? It's very popular online now."
Lin Miao knew how to comfort people, so Zhou Qingti became less timid.
"I think I should stop trying on the rich girl makeup. I think people can tell what I really am like right away. Let's just stay true to myself."
Finally, Zhou Qingti wore a cream purple top with a black long umbrella skirt, which gave her an overall gentle and elegant look.
Lin Miao also didn't leave. She insisted on waiting until Lu Yanzhi came to see the legendary domineering president with her own eyes.
At half past four, Lu Yanzhi drove downstairs. This time, Lu Yanzhi was driving a McLaren.
After Zhou Qingti said goodbye to Lin Miao and got in the car, he received a message from Lin Miao: [You really found a treasure.]
Zhou Qingti looked at Lu Yanzhi who was driving seriously. His profile was also very charming, but it was a pity that he could only treat him as Party A and could not have any feelings for him.
I sighed secretly in my heart and told myself not to think too much and just focus on the 50 million. People are not something you can covet.
In the car, Lu Yanzhi told her what gifts he bought for the elders. Today they were going to have dinner at the Lu family's old house, and Lu Yanzhi's grandmother, father, and stepmother would be there.
Lu Yanzhi also introduced his family situation. Dad Lu is the eldest son. He divorced Mom Lu ten years ago and remarried three years later. He usually lives in the old house with Old Madam Lu.
Lu Yanzhi usually lives in a large flat with a river view very close to his company.
After Lu Yan's death, my mother had actually always been Lu's father's lover. She gave birth to a son for Lu's father twenty years ago. She is currently studying abroad and will be back in two years.
Lu Yanzhi wants to take complete control of Luyi Group before his illegitimate son returns.
That's why he chose Zhou Qingti to marry. She has no family background and can make the other side relax their vigilance.
Lu Yanzhi believed that he could control the Lu family without the help of the girl's family. He still had this ability and confidence.
Zhou Qingti listened to a lot of stories about the entanglements of wealthy families in the car, and he admired Lu Yanzhi even more. The pressure was so great that it was not something an ordinary person could bear, no wonder he didn't like to laugh.
The luxury car stopped in front of a Chinese-style garden. The gate of the detached garden villa was noble and majestic. Lu Yanzhi took her through the garden with a small bridge and flowing water. It should be a replica of a corner of the famous Suzhou garden, the Humble Administrator's Garden.
Every blade of grass, every tree, every grain of sand, and every stone is poetic. Zhou Qingti witnessed with his own eyes a small part of the real life of the rich.
Walk through the long cobblestone path, the Chinese-style low bridge, lattice windows, and mottled bamboo shadows.
All of them reveal the word wealth and prosperity.
Old Mrs. Lu was already waiting for them in the living room on the first floor, and Zhou Qingti didn't dare to look around.
The old lady is over seventy years old. She is dressed meticulously, with her gray hair tied into a bun. Time has not defeated her beauty, and her eyes are kind and elegant.
Zhou Qingti obediently handed the gift to her and said a lot of nice things.
Zhou Qingti was pretty and sweet-spoken. She tried to make the old lady happy by holding her hand and talking non-stop. She said that the Lu family was prosperous with male descendants. She had given birth to three sons, but none of them had given her a granddaughter.
The old lady was very satisfied with the arrival of a well-behaved and sensible granddaughter-in-law. She also heard that her family was ordinary workers who opened a dessert shop, and she didn't seem to have the spoiled airs of a rich girl.
The old lady took her to stroll in the garden, completely forgetting her grandson.
It wasn't until the sun went down that Lu Yanzhi's father, Lu Zheng, came back and they stopped. Lu Zheng was a little serious. He didn't dislike Zhou Qingti, but he didn't like him either.
Lu Yanzhi's mother was very enthusiastic about Zhou Qingti. She hoped that Lu Yanzhi would marry an ordinary girl, which would be helpful to her son.
At the dinner table, Lu Yanzhi mentioned that they were going to get the marriage certificate on Monday. Old Mrs. Lu was very supportive. Lu Zheng did not express his opinion but just called Lu Yanzhi to the study after dinner.
Half an hour later, Lu Yanzhi came downstairs with an expressionless face. After sitting with Old Madam Lu for a while, he offered to send Zhou Qingti back.
Before leaving, Grandma Lu took off a jade bracelet on her hand and wanted to give it to Zhou Qingti.
Zhou Qingti didn't dare to accept it. The bracelet was of very good quality and was made of glass, so it must be worth a lot of money.
Lu Yanzhi said beside him, "Take it. Grandma likes you."
Grandma Lu smiled kindly: "That's right, grandma likes you. This is not a family heirloom, it's just an ordinary bracelet. Don't feel burdened."
Zhou Qingti lay in a daze on her little bed. It was the first day she and Lu Yanzhi pretended to be in love. The intensity was so high that she was in a trance for a few moments and almost thought it was real.
Zhou Qingti was so immersed in the role that he brainwashed himself in the mirror while taking a shower: This is acting, this is acting, 50 million, 50 million.
She even found a book called "Essential Qualities for Actors" to read overnight.
The marriage agreement stated that they should not live together unless necessary, which made Zhou Qingti feel relieved. She was not sure if she could control herself if she lived with such a high-quality man day and night.
