Qin Sheng thought it was just a small matter, and that refusing would be the end of it. But it wasn't until the next evening, when her mother dragged her to change clothes and go to her grandmother's house next door, that she realized that some things were not something she could refuse just because she wanted to.
It is said that Xie Zhen said she didn't have many friends in Ancheng, and since it was just a small birthday celebration, there was no need to hold a big event; she just wanted to invite a few close friends to have a meal together.
There's no need to go outside; we can just borrow the Qin family's space and hold it at the old man and woman's house.
It was just a small matter, and since their granddaughter rarely came to visit, Qin Yu and Wang Shujun naturally wouldn't refuse, so the matter was settled.
Then, Qin Zheng and Gu Yueming, who were already at the same manor and were also the second uncle and aunt, were naturally invited to attend. Qin Sheng, who couldn't use the excuse of "having to go on a date with her boyfriend" to fool her parents, was naturally dragged along as well.
Qin Sheng finally experienced what it felt like to be proven wrong.
Let's go back a little further in time.
As one of the few people Xie Zhen knew who happened to be in Ancheng, and also had a connection with Xie Fang, Fu Jingheng was naturally invited as well.
Of course, Xie Zhen didn't have Fu Jingheng's contact information; she received the invitation through Xie Fang.
Fu Jingheng refused outright: "I'm busy, I have a date with my girlfriend."
Xie Fang: "..."
She couldn't help but glance at the scars around his eyes and mouth, wanting to laugh but not daring to: "So you deliberately left these scars to play the victim with your girlfriend?"
Fu Jingheng glanced at him sideways: "Any objections?"
Xie Fang: "...I wouldn't dare."
Fu Jingheng said calmly, "Single dogs who don't have girlfriends to pamper them don't deserve to discuss this topic with me."
This was intolerable! Xie Fang immediately retorted, "You have a girlfriend, but you still had to wait up for her in her room for most of the night, only to be beaten up and sent back. So what if you have a girlfriend!"
They can only resort to underhanded tactics!
He can't even get his sister Sheng Sheng to vindicate him, what kind of decent boyfriend is he!
Fu Jingheng, whose sore spot was touched: "..."
His gaze darkened, and he suddenly reached out and touched his lower lip: "It hurts."
Xie Fang: "?"
Fu Jingheng sighed softly, "My girlfriend is too fierce. She bit my lip and it bled just from a kiss."
Xie Fang: "..."
When it comes to dogs, he's definitely no match for Master Fu.
She couldn't help but glance at him, and asked suspiciously, "Sister Sheng Sheng is such a pure and detached person, how could she be so ruthless?"
"Could it be that you're the one who's so inhuman that you accidentally bit yourself while biting someone, and you're just playing me?"
Master Fu, whose truth was revealed without his knowledge: "..."
Without changing his expression, he said, "How could that be?"
He stood up: "Let's go, it's almost time for my date with my girlfriend, I'll get kissed if I'm late."
Just then, Xie Zhen called to ask if they had gone there yet. Xie Fang immediately put the phone on speakerphone and said, "Fu San said he's busy. Ask him yourself."
Xie Zhen paused for a moment, then greeted Fu Jingheng in a soft voice, "Young Master Fu."
Fu Jingheng hummed in agreement, and was about to repeat that he was busy when Xie Zhen's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone: "Cousin Sheng Sheng, didn't you say you were on a date with your boyfriend and didn't have time? Why are you here?"
Fu Jingheng's eyes darkened as he turned to look at Xie Fang.
Xie Fang understood and immediately explained, "Let's have a small banquet and go straight to the Qin family."
Fu Jingheng remained expressionless: "..."
Xie Fang was holding back his laughter so hard he was almost cramping up. Afraid of revealing that he had really angered Fu Jingheng, he quickly said, "We're coming right now," and hung up the phone.
Then……
"Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!"
Fu Jingheng's naturally handsome face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Having lived this long, apart from when his mother teased him when he was a child, he had never been so humiliated before, especially since he had slapped himself in the face.
Fu Jingheng said that he must kiss his girlfriend enough to satisfy her.
He immediately grabbed his suit jacket and said, "Let's go."
Meanwhile, in the Qin family, Qin Sheng was being subjected to countless gazes.
Especially her parents, their grief was heart-wrenching and unbelievable.
Gu Yueming covered her heart with both hands: "Sheng... Sheng Sheng... tell Mom honestly, when was it... who was the boyfriend... was it... was it your cousin?"
Qin Sheng, whose car overturned twice in two days: "..."
So the question is, should she tell the truth?
Qin Zheng's face was a little pale, but he managed to keep his composure: "Sheng Sheng, don't be afraid. Even if... Mom and Dad won't be angry. Just tell Mom and Dad the truth. We can handle it."
Judging from their rapid heart rate, rising blood pressure, and pale faces, Qin Sheng didn't think they could handle it at all.
So I decided to tell a white lie: "No, I was lying to my aunt."
"I wanted to stay home and sleep, so I made up an excuse to lie to my aunt." He glanced at Xie Zhen, who had already suppressed her surprise, and seemed to smile as he said, "I didn't expect my cousin to hear it and actually believe it."
Qin Wei finally came to her senses and rushed over to make amends: "Yes, yes, yes, it was when I called Sheng Sheng yesterday that she said that, and Zhenzhen happened to be passing by with the speakerphone on and heard it, so she took it seriously."
"Actually, it's not that you should think about it, right? If Sheng Sheng really had a boyfriend and was going out on a date with him, she wouldn't be here right now."
Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng and Gu Yueming realized what was going on.
Yes, Sheng Sheng stayed in her room all day and didn't come out. Gu Yueming went in to deliver milk a few times, and each time she saw her daughter organizing a bunch of messy data on the computer. She didn't even make a phone call or send a WeChat message, let alone go on a date.
With this thought, the two felt at ease.
Gu Yueming patted her chest: "You scared Mom to death."
Qin Zheng nodded: "Your father misunderstood you."
Qin Sheng glanced at the two of them, a little curious: "If it really happened, what would you do?"
Qin Zheng straightened his back and said, "Dad hasn't been able to stretch his muscles in a long time, so this is a good opportunity to get some exercise. And your brothers, they were just complaining to me the other day that they haven't had a chance to get moving lately."
He looked at Qin Sheng with a loving expression: "Actually, at your age, having a boyfriend or two isn't a big problem. The key is to choose the right one. Dad doesn't have many requirements for his future son-in-law, just a few points."
Which points?
"First of all, they have to be good-looking, they can't be worse than my daughter, otherwise they'll drag down the appearance of our offspring."
Well, among all the men she knows, only Fu Jingheng could do that.
"Secondly, they have to be able to take a beating. Your mother, your three older brothers, and I don't have many other hobbies. We like to spar with people whenever we have free time. So, the opponent can't be too weak, so that they fall down with one hit, nor can they be too strong, so that we have no chance to fight back."
Not too weak is fine, but not too strong... Okay, I can pretend for a bit.
