The meal at the Qiao family was quite enjoyable.
Mother Qiao is very familiar with Jiang Cheng, so she naturally won't nag him.
The two elders’ words were probably also told to them by Qiao’s mother behind their backs?
He simply asked about my studies and family situation and didn't ask any more questions.
Even the daughter-in-law is very satisfied with this young man. As grandfathers, how could they object?
Downstairs in the community.
The two chatted in the car.
Qiao Wu went downstairs to take him to the hotel.
The old man’s house has three bedrooms, but the other room is filled with all kinds of things and there is no room for sleeping.
It was Qiao Wu who asked Jiang Cheng to stay in the hotel, which was not far from the residential area.
"Shall we go for a walk in the ancient town next door tomorrow afternoon?"
"Okay, I'll show you around." Qiao Wu said, "I've been there a few times before, and it's still pretty well-preserved. In the past two years, it's become more commercial, but there are still a few long-established shops worth visiting. I'll take you to a restaurant where they play some really nice Jiangnan tunes, especially beautiful..."
Jiang Cheng didn't feel annoyed listening to her chattering, he just thought his girlfriend was very cute.
His expression is very rich and there is light in his eyes.
After a long time, Qiao Wu stopped.
Jiang Cheng asked, "Are grandpa and grandma satisfied with me?"
Qiao Wu raised an eyebrow, amusement evident in his eyes. "This is incredible! Mr. Jiang actually has no confidence in himself? Strange."
"It wouldn't affect my confidence at other times, but the situation is different now." Jiang Cheng held her hand and said, "I'm going to marry you home, and I must make sure your family can trust me."
Qiao Wu hooked his palm and said, "Don't worry, my mother often praises you in private. Even if my grandparents are picky and dissatisfied with you, it doesn't matter. They can't control me. My mother is very strong."
"When we first got married, my mother said that she was the only mistress in our family, and if she couldn't do her job, we'd get a divorce." Qiao Wu smiled and said, "My mother is a career woman. She can live well even if she gets divorced. She's not afraid of troubles in life."
"My grandparents are not difficult to get along with. Even if there are some minor frictions, they can be resolved quickly."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Fortunately. But what would you do if Auntie didn't like me?"
Qiao Wu raised her hand and pinched his face. "Stop setting me up. I won't answer hypothetical questions. Or let me ask you, if Aunt Jiang and I fell into the water at the same time..."
"Stop." Before he could finish, Jiang Cheng stopped him. "My mom won't fall into the water. She knows Qinggong. She won't need me to do anything. She will save you."
These words made Qiao Wu laugh so hard that he fell backwards.
"When will Auntie return to Imperial City?"
"Probably next week. If I don't go back with her, she'll leave a little later."
Qiao Wu played with the ornaments in front of the car and said, "My mom has a lot of old classmates and friends here. She's basically not at home during the day. She's always out socializing."
She only socializes with people she knows and has a good relationship with. When outsiders know that she is Mrs. Qiao and want to treat them, she will not go and will directly refuse.
"It's almost 11 o'clock. Let's go upstairs."
Jiang Cheng said, "Sleep a little longer tomorrow. I'll pick you up at two in the afternoon."
Qiao Wu nodded, "What are you going to do this morning?"
So, why not come to see her in the morning?
Now that her boyfriend has come to her hometown, she can get up early and not sleep in.
"I'm taking care of some things at the hotel this morning, or if you get up early, you can come find me."
"Okay!" Qiao Wu nodded with a smile, got out of the car, and waved goodbye to him.
**
It’s almost nine o’clock in the morning.
Qiao Wu brought his luggage to the hotel three hundred meters away.
Go straight upstairs to find Jiang Cheng.
When I opened the door, I saw Jiang Cheng wearing a refreshing outfit.
"So early?" He asked Qiao Wu to come in. "Play by yourself for a while. I'll probably need another two hours."
Qiao Wu nodded. She was never polite when she was with him.
She found the car keys and said, "I'll go downstairs and put the gifts in the car. Have you had breakfast? I bet you just had a cup of coffee, right?"
I handed him the thermal bag I brought with me, "Here, this is a loving breakfast I made for you."
Jiang Cheng smiled gently.
"Thank you, my most amazing girlfriend."
"You're welcome, boyfriend." She took the car keys and went out.
Last night, Jiang Cheng had already said a formal goodbye to the three elders of the Qiao family.
When I left today, I just said hello to Qiao Wu on the video call and didn't come to disturb him again.
After lunch, the two drove to the ancient town next door.
It was almost dusk when we arrived.
After checking into the booked B&B, neither of them felt anything about it.
The B&B here does have a retro style, but it is still far inferior to the Jiang family's.
The entire ancient building complex of the Jiang family adopts a garden-style structure, especially when viewed from a high altitude. Someone once said that it was basically built using the method of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams.
If outsiders go in without their guidance, it is easy for them to get lost.
It is no exaggeration to say that Qiao Wu really got lost, but she did not dare to show it. She pretended to chat with several sisters of the Jiang family and waited for Jiang Cheng to come.
Fortunately, they knew that she was Jiang Cheng’s girlfriend, so the topics were all fresh and there was no need to worry about running out of words.
Qiao Wu took out the disposable four-piece suit he brought with him, put it on himself first, and then ran next door to change for Jiang Cheng.
They lived in a high-end suite.
There are bedrooms on the left and right, and a living room in the middle. Qiao Wu doesn't need to worry about the price.
"Across the water." She pulled him to the window. "Cross the bridge, go through that little alley, and that's the restaurant I recommended. Let's go. I'm hungry."
When you come to the ancient town, you naturally have to wear ancient costumes.
She changed herself and looked at Jiang Cheng.
"Very beautiful." Jiang Cheng pulled her out and said, "I'll buy you a few sets when I get back..."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Want to see me wearing it?"
"Of course." Qiao Wu said, "My Mr. Jiang is tall and handsome. He must be very pleasing to the eye in ancient costume."
"It's not impossible." Jiang Cheng said, "When we get back, we can find someone to make some. You can send me your measurements."
Qiao Wu asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"My mother's pair was custom-made by someone, just that person."
Hearing this, Qiao Wu said, "How expensive would that be?"
Aunt Jiang’s status is very high, and I can’t even imagine the price of her custom-made clothes.
"We have to make it no matter how expensive it is. If we get married, we will definitely need to prepare the phoenix coronet and bridal bridal gown." Squeezing her hand, Jiang Cheng said, "It will take at least one or two years to make a set."
"If I take over the Jiang family, our wedding will definitely have to be a grand one."
Qiao Wu had no doubts.
"The wedding of Aunt Jiang and Uncle..."
"They just got the marriage certificate," Jiang Cheng said. "My mom doesn't like trouble, so she didn't even have a wedding banquet."
Qiao Wu: "...then what about us?"
"It has to be a big deal. My dad is a son-in-law, and my mom won't make it public unless she agrees."
Seeing Qiao Wu about to say something, Jiang Cheng said, "We are different. I want to keep our wedding a secret forever."
Qiao Wu: “…”
