Qin Zhen noticed that everyone was looking at him, waiting for him to answer Grandma Wei's question.
“I mentioned it to my parents, and they didn’t say anything.”
Grandma Wei is a shrewd old woman; how could she not know what Qin Zhen's parents were thinking?
Saying nothing means neither agreeing nor disagreeing, but rather observing the situation and letting Qin Zhen and Lin Qinghuan spend time together. Over time, the economic gap and differences in lifestyle will cause disagreements between Lin Qinghuan and Qin Zhen, ultimately leading to a breakup.
"Did your parents mention that they wanted you to bring Qinghuan home so that she could meet them?" Grandma Wei asked with a smile.
Qin Zhen truthfully replied, "Yes, I came to see Qing Huan today to tell her that my parents want to meet her and invite her to our home for a meal."
Mother Wei's eyes flickered; she was afraid this banquet was more like a trap than a pleasant one.
Grandma Wei smiled and nodded. It would be good for Lin Qinghuan to meet Qin's parents and see their attitude so that she could be mentally prepared.
Lin Qinghuan blushed slightly and asked shyly, "Brother Qin Zhen, is it too early for me to visit your parents now?"
Lin Piaoxue also wanted to see what the Qin family's financial situation was like, and even more so, she wanted to see whether the Qin family parents had a good or bad attitude towards Lin Qinghuan!
Lin Qinghuan looked at Lin Piaoxue with a gloomy expression.
Lin Piaoxue smiled in response. She was now certain that Lin Qinghuan couldn't do anything to her in front of the Wei family and Qin Zhen!
And she was only suggesting it; she didn't necessarily have to go to the Qin family's house.
Qin Zhen looked at Lin Qinghuan and asked for her opinion. If Lin Qinghuan agreed, he would bring Lin Piaoxue along. If Lin Qinghuan was unwilling to bring Lin Piaoxue along, he would respect her decision.
Lin Qinghuan frowned slightly. "If you want to go to Brother Qin Zhen's house with me, then go together!"
Lin Piaoxue wanted to watch a show, and Lin Qinghuan granted her wish, letting her watch to her heart's content!
Lin Piaoxue smiled and said, "Qinghuan, I'm just very curious about Qin Zhen's family's financial situation."
Mother Wei looked at Lin Piaoxue and said with a smile, "Piaoxue, you don't need to envy Qinghuan for finding such a good boyfriend. I know many promising young men. If you're willing, I can introduce you to them and you can choose one you like."
Lin Piaoxue's eyes lit up. The young man that Wei's mother knew must have a good family background. In fact, he was comparable to Qin Zhen. Lin Qinghuan could not possibly surpass her. She was still the most outstanding girl in the village, and her position in the family was as secure as Mount Tai.
Lin Piaoxue glanced at Qin Zhen with resentment. The moment she saw Qin Zhen, she had developed strange feelings for him, but Qin Zhen had taken a fancy to that brat Lin Qinghuan and treated her with indifference.
Then there's Wei Xiao, whose coldness makes people afraid to approach him, but he treats Lin Qinghuan differently.
Her life has been smooth sailing. Everyone, from the elderly to children, loves her, not to mention the young men who admire her and treat her with extra care. She only suffers setbacks in front of Qin Zhen and Wei Xiao.
Seeing the scheming in Lin Piaoxue's eyes, Wei's mother was very displeased.
Lin Piaoxue is a child who only cares about wealth and status; I don't know how her parents raised her.
Qin Zhen looked at Lin Piaoxue and said politely, "If you want to come to my home with Qinghuan, you are welcome."
A cheerful smile appeared on Lin Piaoxue's face, and she said in a sweet voice, "Then I'll have to bother you."
Grandma Wei and her mother exchanged a glance. Was it really okay for Lin Piaoxue to smile so sweetly at her sister's boyfriend?
A hint of displeasure crossed Lin Qinghuan's brow. Lin Piaoxue really had no sense of boundaries at all, smiling so brightly at Qin Zhen that anyone who didn't know better would think Lin Piaoxue was Qin Zhen's girlfriend.
Lin Qinghuan looked at Lin Piaoxue and said in a serious tone, "Sister, Qin Zhen is my boyfriend and your future brother-in-law. You smiled so brightly at him that people would think you were his girlfriend or that you were going to meet his parents."
Grandma Wei and her mother were taken aback for a moment, then felt relieved. With someone like Lin Piaoxue, sometimes being direct is more effective.
Even with her thick skin, Lin Piaoxue's face flushed red.
Qin Zhen smiled brightly at Lin Qinghuan, his eyes filled with doting affection.
Lin Qinghuan was taken aback when she saw Lin Piaoxue's face turn bright red.
Holy crap! That's strange, Lin Piaoxue actually has a sense of shame.
Looking at Lin Qinghuan's adorable expression, Qin Zhen couldn't help but pat her head.
Qin Zhen had dinner at the Wei family's house and then said goodbye. Before leaving, she told Lin Qinghuan not to wander around and that she would come to pick her up the next day at noon.
Lin Qing saw Qin Zhen off to the car and then returned to her room to continue reading.
next day
After lunch, Wei's mother repeatedly instructed Lin Qinghuan: "Qinghuan, if Qin Zhen's parents are cold to you, just call back and I'll send the driver, Xiao Wang, to pick you up..."
Touched, Lin Qinghuan took Wei's mother's hand and said gratefully, "Auntie, thank you."
Wei's mother made Lin Qinghuan feel the warmth of a mother, making her feel that someone still cared about her in this unfamiliar world.
Grandma Wei looked at Lin Piaoxue sitting to the side and said earnestly, "Piaoxue, you are Qinghuan's older sister. We share the same fate, and we share the same fate. If the Qin family speaks ill of Qinghuan, you must stand up for her and not let her be bullied by the Qin family."
Lin Piaoxue chuckled, "Grandma Wei, Qinghuan is eloquent and strong. She's both literate and strong, so she doesn't need my help at all."
Lin Qinghuan listened to Lin Piaoxue's smile, which contained a hint of schadenfreude, as if she could already see her being made difficult by the Qin family.
Lin Piaoxue looked back at Lin Qinghuan calmly. She and Lin Qinghuan were like enemies. It was a pipe dream for Lin Qinghuan to think that she would speak up for Lin Qinghuan. Lin Qinghuan should be grateful if she didn't add fuel to the fire.
Grandma Wei frowned slightly. Lin Piaoxue's words made it clear that she intended to remain neutral and observe from the sidelines.
Grandma Wei sighed. Oh well! You can't force things.
Wang Ma led Qin Zhen into the living room and said with a smile, "Madam, Madam, Young Master Qin has come to pick up Miss Qinghuan."
Lin Qinghuan looked at Qin Zhen and saw that he was wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and shiny black leather shoes. He looked handsome and elegant, and she was immediately impressed.
"Brother Qin Zhen looks especially handsome today," Lin Qinghuan praised.
Qin Zhen's eyes crinkled with a smile at Lin Qinghuan's praise, proving that his elaborate dressing up was worthwhile.
Lin Piaoxue looked at the handsome Qin Zhen, her heart racing uncontrollably. Qin Zhen's appearance was exactly what she considered beautiful.
Wei Mu and Grandma Wei exchanged bewildered glances as they looked at Lin Piaoxue's gaze toward Qin Zhen.
What's going on? Has Lin Piaoxue taken a liking to Lin Qinghuan's boyfriend?
I don't think so!
No matter how much the sisters don't get along, the older sister shouldn't be interested in the younger sister's boyfriend!
