Chapter 86: Meeting the parents?
When Lu Yuan heard that Shen Muqi had refused the hotel and showed no signs of leaving, he couldn't help but come again, but when he arrived, he saw a scene that shocked him even more.
"Sister, this is daddy Chen Yixing, and this is mommy Qimei, which means women are as good as men. The "Qi" in my name means "Qimei"."
Shen Yixing and Qi Mei are Shen Muqi's parents. Both of them wear glasses and look like intellectuals.
What shocked Lu Yuan was, why did they put on such a show to meet the parents? Listening to Shen Muqi's introduction, this is dad and this is mom, without adding the word "I", as if to let Gu Qingshi call it that too.
Lu Yuan paused at the door and was shocked for a moment, but in fact, his expression was just a simple thank you.
Gu Qingshi had clearly said before that there was no need to be polite and that Shen Muqi's parents didn't need to come, but the two of them still rushed from the imperial capital to thank Gu Qingshi in person.
The two bowed deeply to Gu Qingshi, "Qingshi, can I call you that? Thank you so much."
"No, there's no need to do this. Get up quickly." Gu Qingshi was caught off guard. After dodging them, he quickly pulled them up.
Both of them are middle-aged, with good looks and temperament. The only problem is that their hair is half white.
Their hair turned gray at a young age because they lost Shen Muqi and searched for him for eleven years. They never gave up looking for Shen Muqi and never had another child.
After Gu Qingshi met the two and heard their names, he understood the meaning of the name Chen Muqi. Chen represents father, Qi represents mother, and Mu represents admiration, love and affection. The feelings of the two are all in this name.
Although Gu Qingshi told them not to be polite, after the two men thanked him carefully, they also asked Gu Qingshi and Bai Zhong to have a simple meal together. Considering that they wanted to do business, they specially arranged it for after the business was over.
Lu Yuan then realized that they were there to thank Gu Qingshi. When he heard where they were treating them to a meal, he walked in and said that he was going to eat there anyway, so why not join them together.
Shen Muqi secretly rolled his eyes when he heard such a "coincidence", but before he could refuse, his parents agreed first, so he could only shut up.
Gu Qingshi and the others tried to finish work as early as possible, but it was already past eight o'clock when they finished. Considering that Shen Yixing had just arrived, Lu Yuan said that he would arrange a car.
Everyone else was arranged in another car, leaving only Gu Qingshi, Bai Xue, Shen Muqi and Lu Yuan. Shen Muqi opened the door and got in first, "Sister, come in quickly."
Gu Qingshi followed him into the back seat. Just as Bai Xue was about to follow, Lu Yuan got there first and also got into the back seat.
"Sister Bai Xue, come to the passenger seat. It's spacious here and you don't have to squeeze with them." Fang Wen called Bai Xue.
Fang Wen looked at Lu Yuan in the rearview mirror and clicked his tongue in his heart. When he was anxious before, Lu Yuan seemed to be fine. Now that Shen Muqi appeared, he finally felt nervous.
Gu Qingshi sat between the two of them and always felt a little crowded, probably because they were both young. She felt heat coming from both sides, which made her feel a little uncomfortable. But when she looked to the left and then to the right, she found that their faces were not very good, so she shut up again.
Maybe it was because the car was narrow and they didn't mean to squeeze him, so he just had to bear with it.
Gu Qingshi didn't say anything, and the car fell completely silent.
After sitting like this for a while, Gu Qingshi, who was tired after a whole day, felt hot on both sides and sleepiness came over him. He nodded his head again and again, and finally slowly fell towards Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan sat upright, but his peripheral vision was always on Gu Qingshi. When he saw her head tilted, the corner of his mouth curled up quickly, and he moved closer almost imperceptibly, relaxing his shoulders, so that he could lean a little closer to Gu Qingshi.
Unexpectedly, just when Gu Qingshi’s head was about to rest on his shoulder, a hand suddenly reached out to support Gu Qingshi, and then slowly placed Gu Qingshi’s head on his shoulder.
There was no surprise, it was Shen Muqi.
Lu Yuan looked at Shen Muqi suddenly, with fire in his eyes, and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?" Gu Qingshi was about to lean on his shoulder!
Shen Muqi smiled at Gu Qing, then looked up at Lu Yuan and replied in the same low voice: "Don't you have mysophobia and hate women? I'm doing this for your sake, so that you don't have to change clothes and wash your hands every time, hiding three meters away."
Lu Yuan's face darkened, "Qingshi she" she is different.
Looking at this scene of Gu Qingshi resting his head on Shen Muqi, Lu Yuan felt inexplicably dazzled and reached out to wake up Gu Qingshi.
Shen Muqi frowned, "I advise you not to. My sister has been busy all day and just wants to take a rest. Do you have the heart to wake her up?"
Lu Yuan's hand stopped in mid-air, and Shen Muqi smiled with satisfaction, "Lu Yuan, since you hate women so much, don't force yourself to get close to my sister."
"I didn't force you." Lu Yuan said in a cold tone, "But you, I heard that you still want to go back to school. You have been away from school for more than ten years. Are you going back with your uncle and aunt this time? It will be bad if you can't keep up."
This time it was Shen Muqi's turn to look cold. Lu Yuan hit the nail on the head. The time he spent with Gu Qingshi was one day less. He really had to rush back.
He did not introduce Shen Yixing and Qi Mei's professions in detail, only saying that they were professors, but in fact their status was higher, and if nothing unexpected happened in the future they would be nominated as academicians, and they had made many contributions in their lives.
My grandfather is an academician and a national treasure. His family is truly a highly educated family. He received a different education since childhood, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will follow the same path.
But God played a joke on him. His time stopped at the year he was eight years old when the accident happened. He fell behind in his studies and other aspects. Now he has to spend more time and energy to make up for the missing eleven years.
Although his parents said that it was good that he could come back and that being alive and well was the greatest gift from God, he couldn't just live. He couldn't bring shame to his parents. He didn't have to catch up with them, but at least he couldn't embarrass them.
If he doesn't enrich himself, how can he catch up with his sister who is always moving forward, and how can he compete with Lu Yuan who is eyeing him covetously? He doesn't want to end up being inferior to Qin Zeming, the person he despises the most.
He must change so that he can be worthy of his sister, otherwise the so-called pledge of love would not be a way of repaying a favor but a way of revenge.
But this means that he can't always be with his sister, and the space around her will be occupied by people like Lu Yuan next to her. This is a dilemma, and Shen Muqi has only one choice.
In the back seat, Lu Yuan and Shen Muqi were competing to let off some cold air. They spoke in low voices so only each other could hear them. Bai Xue couldn't hear them either, but she could sense that the atmosphere was wrong.
She felt particularly depressed staying in the car. Fang Wen felt very sympathetic towards her but did not dare to say anything.
When they arrived at the place, Bai Xue couldn't wait to wake up Gu Qingshi, "Sister, we're here, wake up quickly."
Lu Yuan and Shen Muqi, who were all ready to wake up Gu Qingshi: "." were overtaken.
