Wei He's description of the Nan family's attitude towards Nanqiao was beyond Li Ping's comprehension. She stood there in a daze, staring at the direction the vehicle left.
Her two children, her husband, her brother…
But after so many years of living, how could she be easily influenced by a few words from others? Li Ping's eyes gradually became firm.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. My brother treats me very well outside." Li Ping firmly believes that the Nan family only claims to be good to their daughter in order to maintain their image in front of outsiders. It is just a disguise.
Moreover, Director Nan is the leader of such a large factory. He has already agreed to the request of the only son of his deceased comrade-in-arms. How can he go back on his word? Thinking of this, Li Ping was no longer panicked.
She dragged Wei He to the guesthouse. She didn't mind the engagement with Wei He. She came here just for the job in Shanghai. Her family didn't know about this job. Her mother was waiting for her and Wei He to come to Shanghai so that she could get money to send back home. She didn't care about her life or death.
But she didn't want to be dependent on others for the rest of her life, so she made an agreement with Wei He that as long as he found her a stable job in Shanghai, she would agree to break off the engagement with him and stop pestering him.
As for calling him cousin... a man and a woman traveling together, since she doesn't plan to marry him, she naturally needs a suitable identity. She doesn't want to be pointed at in Shanghai, so a relative identity is the best.
Seeing her like this, Wei He sighed helplessly. He had known about this marriage a long time ago, so he also knew a little about the situation of the Li family.
Grandma Wei and Grandma Li were close friends. They came from the same scholarly family, but Grandma Li's family fell into poverty early, so she was not criticized. She lived an ordinary life with her husband in a small village. She had only one son in her life, and she doted on him very much. As a result, Li Ping's father was a bit unruly and married a savage wife. After Grandpa Li and Grandma Li passed away, the family became even more difficult to get along with, and they didn't get along well with the villagers.
Li Ping's generation had three daughters and two sons. The eldest and second were girls, the third and fifth were boys, and Li Ping was the fourth. The one who was originally engaged to Wei He was actually Li Ping's eldest sister, but at that time Wei He's family background was not good, so the Li family looked down on this child marriage and did not take it seriously. They accepted the betrothal gift and married the eldest daughter off directly. It was not until Wei He was admitted to university that the Li family asked Li Ping, the only one who was not engaged, to bring a token to Wei He and ask him to fulfill his promise.
It was considered good for a family to have a junior high school graduate, not to mention going to college. The original scholarly family was now in a completely declining situation.
Arriving at the guesthouse, the two presented their respective IDs and checked in.
The staff at the counter looked at their IDs, then stared at them, his eyes wandering between them. After a while, he said in a gloomy tone, "Don't go around the room at night. We check the rooms at irregular times at night."
"Okay," Wei He replied seriously. He didn't even want to look at this person. If the school hadn't been closed for the past few days, he wouldn't have stayed in the guesthouse.
The two of them took their things and went back to their rooms. Except for eating, they did not leave the room that day.
On the other side, Nanbo met up with Nanqiao and his group and started riding. Nanbo glanced at Nanqiao who was teasing the child through the rearview mirror and asked, "Have you seen those two people just now?"
"Well, we met in the car and it was a bit unpleasant." Nanqiao didn't look up, still teasing Xiaoran, his voice was light and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Nan Bo didn't ask any more questions after hearing that, he just said, "That man came to our house last time. His father used to be in the same unit with my dad, they had a good relationship. After my dad retired, his father stayed in the army. His mother was also a battlefield doctor. Later, a mission failed and they both died, leaving this son and two old people to depend on each other. My dad met him when he went to pay his respects and told him to come to him if he had any problems. We haven't been in touch for so many years. It seems that he came that time to ask my dad to keep a job for his fiancée at the steel plant, the female comrade who was with us today."
Nanbo paused for a moment, then continued, "If you don't like that person, go back and tell Dad."
"No, it's all a small matter. Dad has already agreed, so it's not good to go back on your word." Although Nanqiao didn't like that woman, he respected and admired Wei He's family. Since Wei He used his favor, Nanqiao didn't need to do anything bad to him. But... Was the fiancée the one who called her cousin today, Li Ping? It seemed that Wei He didn't care much about her. Why would he use the favor of her parents' death to exchange her job for her?
"Okay, but speaking of it, Wei He has a refined temperament and scholarly air, and he's not bad looking. Although his family background is not good, he is from a prominent family in the past, so his family background is not bad. How could he fall in love with such a girl? I saw that he was not an easy person to deal with just now." Nanbo pouted and gossiped.
"Everyone has their own preferences, so who knows?" Nanqiao said with a smile, maybe people just like that...
As several people chatted, the car arrived at the gate of Nan's house.
Nanqiao took the child and Sheng Yanchuan into the house first, and Aunt Zhou followed closely behind them. Nanbo parked the car before following them into the house.
"Hey, Xiaoran and Xiaoche, do you miss grandpa?" When Nan's father heard the door open, he quickly turned off the fire, threw down the spatula and walked out of the kitchen. When he saw that it was Nanqiao's family coming back, he smiled until his eyes became slits. He wiped his hands with his apron as he walked towards Xiaoran and Xiaoche.
"Grandpa, Xiaoran misses you the most"
"Grandpa, Xiao Che also misses you, and also misses the prawns you cooked for me."
The two little ones spoke softly, hugging Nan's father's legs one on each side and acting coquettishly, which made Nan's father feel warm in his heart.
After several years, his daughter finally came back and brought him two adorable grandchildren. Not only that, his daughter, son-in-law, and daughter-in-law were all admitted to university. Now there are four college students in their family, bringing honor to the family!
