Xia Tian took out his phone, searched for a video of Qiu Mengyun's concert on Douyin, and handed it to Xia's mother: "Here! Mom, take a look for yourself."
Mother Xia took the phone and looked at it carefully. While watching the video, she kept looking up at Qiu Mengyun beside her for comparison.
After a minute of confirmation, Xia's mother excitedly said, "Oh! Mengyun, are you the singing Qiu Mengyun? You are a big star!"
Qiu Mengyun smiled and said, "Auntie, I am indeed the Qiu Mengyun you mentioned. But I'm not a big star or anything like that. Being a singer is just a profession. It's just that young people nowadays like to add some halo to these professions. To put it bluntly, it's just a job to make money."
"What video is it? Let me see it too." Seeing Xia's mother's excitement, the old man asked curiously.
Xia Tian took the phone from his mother and handed it to his grandfather. The old man and Xia's father immediately gathered together and watched it carefully.
After watching the video, the old man was even more satisfied with Qiu Mengyun. He smiled and said, "I never thought that Mengyun is not only beautiful but also so talented. I wonder what good deeds Xia Tian did in his previous life to find such an outstanding girl like you as his girlfriend."
Father Xia asked seriously, "Mengyun girl, tell your uncle the truth. Are you and Xia Tian really in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?"
Seeing his father's expression, Xia Tian's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that his father had noticed something?
Qiu Mengyun was also somewhat bewildered by Xia's father's sudden change. However, her years of stage experience helped her suppress her inner uneasiness. She pretended to be confused and asked, "Uncle, what do you mean by that? Are you against me and Xia Tian being together? I know I'm four years older than Xia Tian, but we really get along. Besides, I'm very happy when I'm with him. I hope Uncle won't break us up."
Qiu Mengyun felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and she looked like a pair of young lovers who were separated by force.
Her move, turning defense into offense, had put Father Xia in a very passive position. Originally, he had only had some suspicions and hadn't noticed any obvious flaws. Now that Qiu Mengyun asked this question, he felt embarrassed.
Before Father Xia could even begin to speak, Old Man Xia angrily yelled, "What do you want to do, you bastard? Xiaotian brought such a wonderful girlfriend, and it's fine if you don't even bother to ask about her well-being, but now you're trying to break them up? Do you think our family is too prosperous and want us to have no descendants?"
Mother Xia mercilessly chose to take direct action. She placed her hand on Father Xia's waist and twisted it hard. Then she glared at Father Xia, "Old Xia, did your head get caught in the door today? If you're mentally ill, go get some medicine yourself and don't let this affect Xiaotian and Mengyun's relationship. Mengyun came all the way here to visit Grandpa, and you treat her like this. Don't you think this is too much for an elder?"
"Mengyun, don't worry. It's not his turn to have the final say in this family. As long as your Grandpa Xia and I agree, it won't be of any use no matter how much he objects." After scolding her husband, Mother Xia took Qiu Mengyun's hand and comforted her.
Listening to his father and wife's scolding, Dad Xia's previous doubts instantly vanished. He quickly pleaded with a bitter face, "Dad, wife, don't worry, you really misunderstood me. I have no intention of breaking up Xiaotian and Mengyun. I'm so happy that Xia Tian has found such an outstanding girlfriend like Mengyun. How could I not agree? Not to mention that Mengyun is only four years older than Xia Tian, even if she was a few years older, I would accept it. This way, there will be someone to keep an eye on this kid for us, so that he won't get into trouble all the time."
After hearing Father Xia's plea for mercy, Mother Xia's expression brightened considerably. She asked coldly, "So what did you mean by that? Why did you ask Mengyun that for no reason?"
Father Xia smiled bitterly and said, "The reason I asked that is simply because I think it's a little unreal that Xia Tian has found such a good girlfriend. I'm just worried that Xia Tian might be using her as leverage to threaten her. But if they're truly in a normal relationship, then I absolutely support it and wouldn't have the slightest objection."
After hearing Xia's father's explanation, Xia Tian's heart was finally at ease. Qiu Mengyun also smiled and said, "Uncle Xia, don't worry. Xiaotian and I are really in love. Our relationship is known to all my friends. It's not the situation you were worried about before."
"That's good, that's good. I'm mainly afraid that this kid will learn bad things and do something bad when he is not around." Dad Xia said with a smile.
Seeing the crisis was over, Xia Tian decided it was best to take Qiu Mengyun out of the hospital as soon as possible. Although they had discussed many countermeasures before, it was still a fake after all, and there was no telling when it would be exposed. The sooner they left, the less risk they would be exposed.
He stood up and said to the old man, "Grandpa, Mengyun has been waiting at the airport since noon to come see you, and she hasn't eaten yet. Why don't you stay here first, and I'll take her out to eat something."
Hearing that Qiu Mengyun was still hungry, the old man angrily scolded: "You little bastard, how can you do things? You knew that Miss Mengyun was hungry, so when you picked her up just now, you should have taken her to eat something before coming here!"
Qiu Mengyun cooperated and said, "Grandpa Xia, please don't blame Xia Tian. He actually said before that he would take me to eat, but I wanted to see you and uncle and aunt as soon as possible, so I urged Xia Tian to bring me to the hospital first."
Seeing Qiu Mengyun actually stand up to defend Xia Tian, Xia's mother said with a smile: "Okay Mengyun, stop covering up for that kid Xia Tian. It was his fault for letting you starve. What are you still doing here? Why don't you take Mengyun out to eat?"
Xia Tian walked over and took Qiu Mengyun's hand, grinning and saying, "Hey! Grandpa, we'll be leaving first. After dinner, we won't be back. We'll come see you tomorrow."
The old man smiled and said, "Well! There's no need to come back. What's so interesting about an old man like me? After dinner, take Mengyun for a good walk."
"Goodbye, Grandpa Xia, and uncles and aunts. Xia Tian and I will come again tomorrow." Qiu Mengyun also politely waved goodbye to everyone.
It wasn't until Xia Tian turned around that his father said briefly, "Xiao Tian, you must treat Meng Yun well. Don't be stingy."
As soon as he walked out of the ward, Xia Tian received a notification on his mobile phone that his father had transferred 50,000 yuan to him.
Seeing the sudden increase in the balance on his phone, Xia Tian said happily: "Let's go, I'll take you out to eat and drink on public funds now."
