Hongqiao Airport.
Wang Zijin got out of the taxi, passed through the airport security, and entered the departure hall on the second floor.
She was wearing a printed plaid shirt with a small vest, a pair of light white cropped jeans, and canvas shoes. She was dressed in a youthful and beautiful way. Her hair was tied into a bun that matched her oval face.
All the male tourists who came and went couldn't help but glance at her.
She received a text message. "Waiting for the ferry."
"I'm on the departure floor on the second floor."
"Do you want to meet somewhere?"
"No, let's go to the Starbucks here."
Wang Zijin replied and put her phone in her pocket. Her peach blossom eyes, which Qin Ze privately said were not inferior to his sister's phoenix eyes, were looking at the tourists aimlessly.
It was raining heavily outside.
Wang Zijin ordered two cups of coffee at the Starbucks and waited for her second aunt. She was not flustered or nervous about being questioned.
She was never the kind of obedient girl that outsiders thought she was. Although she appeared dignified, elegant, and calm, everyone in the family knew what kind of person she was. When it came to playing tricks, her best friend, who only knew how to throw a tantrum and act cute in front of her younger brother, was a far cry from her.
She was born in ancient times. Her family would definitely sigh and lament that she was not a man. The children who grew up in the same courtyard as her all knew that Wang Zijin was a spicy little radish.
In this era, women could do a lot of things. They were not inferior to men at all. Her family was very satisfied with her. Her grandfather said that she was "clever and quick-witted." Her father said that she was "neutral and peaceful."
But she was too opinionated.
A big family like the Wang family preferred moderate and docile children. If they followed the path that their parents had arranged for them, they would naturally reach the peak of their lives. Their sharp and untamed qualities were suitable for leaders or pioneers who could cut their way through thorns and thorns.
Not long after, she saw her second aunt coming over. She was wearing a pair of sunglasses. The smartly dressed assistant was dragging a small suitcase and following her step by step. Wang Zijin immediately pouted. Did she think that she was a celebrity? Why would she wear sunglasses? She was not Qin Bao.
Her second aunt glanced at the Starbucks and walked straight past it.
"You didn't wait long, right?"
The woman took off her sunglasses. She was a mature woman in her forties, wearing an expensive casual dress. Her eyebrows were somewhat similar to Wang Zijin's, but not as exquisite. His gaze was especially sharp, and when he looked at people, there was a sense of majesty.
"Half an hour," Wang Zijin said and pushed the Starbucks to her second aunt.
"Where do you live now?" Wang Lingyan took a sip of coffee and asked casually.
"Stay in a hotel," Wang Zijin said.
"You're full of lies," Wang Lingyan said angrily.
"I'm really staying in a hotel. After all, I've stayed in Shanghai for two years. There are still a lot of people who admire me." Wang Zijin smiled, giving off a "I'm just saying nonsense to fool you" calm.
"Your father is very angry and wants you to go back quickly. Listen to your aunt. Don't be angry with your family, "Wang Lingyan advised.
"Angry? I'm just here to have fun and get some fresh air. Of course, I'll go back when I'm done playing. "Wang Zijin blinked.
Wang Zijin did not follow her train of thought. Although she had never played games, she knew that it was fatal to be led by others.
Wang Lingyan smiled bitterly. Her stomach full of words was stuffed back. This niece of hers had been difficult to deal with since she was young.
"Your grandfather is also very angry …"
Wang Zijin laughed. "Second aunt, don't fool me, okay? Why is he angry? When I was young, I tore up my parents' marriage certificate, but he didn't let my father hit me."
"You're already so old and have your own opinions. However, I still have to advise you. Yes, it's not popular to use your parents' words as a matchmaker, but marriage is such a big thing. It can't be entirely based on your personality and preferences. You must abide by your elders' opinions. "
Wang Zijin rolled her eyes. "You're talking as if I'm going to find a poor scholar to marry off. That's the same as using your parents' words as a matchmaker. Second aunt, don't go off topic, okay? "
When it came to marriage, the elders' feelings had to be considered. Otherwise, where would the phrase "meeting the parents" come from? However, she did not accept a blind marriage. Actually, it was not a blind marriage. She was very familiar with the "groom". They grew up together. How could they not be familiar with each other? When Wang Zijin slapped him, he would kneel down and call her sister. She was used to bullying him since she was young.
"Off topic?" Wang Lingyan was stunned.
"It's a term used on the internet. It means to deviate from the main topic and change the concept," Wang Zijin said. She learned it from Qin Ze.
Wang Lingyan looked at her. "Zijin, you've changed."
She felt that her niece was about to become an otaku.
"What's wrong with Mingcheng? He's been sensible and hardworking since he was young. When the elders talk about him, they always give him a thumbs up. He also grew up together with you, "Second aunt said bitterly.
Wang Zijin waved her hand. "It's because we're too close that I don't feel anything. He stole our family's money when he was six. When he was ten, he smashed his grandfather's antique and framed his younger brother. When he was fifteen, he went around looking for an experienced driver to bring him a big sword … I have a lot of his dark history, and he has a lot of mine. Second aunt, it's really impossible for us to be together. I've always treated him as an elder brother. "
She liked to get to know him slowly and get along with him slowly. Using Qin Ze's words, "Love grows with time!"
However, she did not like the idea of a childhood sweetheart.
For example, some men liked seductive wives or innocent school girls. There were also men who liked black stockings, older sisters, uniforms, queens, lolicons, and so on.
Then what was she a fan of? A younger brother?
"Bah!" Wang Zijin lightly slapped herself twice. She did not want to be infected by Qin Bao Bao.
I've always treated him as an elder brother …
Wang Lingyan thought that if Mingcheng heard this, he would probably cry himself to death.
"You should go home first. Although it's free outside, it's not as warm as home. The food outside is also not hygienic. How can it compare to the special …"
Before Wang Lingyan could finish, Wang Zijin interrupted her and said, "Don't say the words' special '. You have to be harmonious."
"Besides, I eat quite well. It's better than what I eat at home. I won't be satisfied if I don't eat at least two big bowls of rice now, "Wang Zijin said.
My best friend is a foodie. The first to act will get everything.
Wang Lingyan looked at her for a while and wondered, "You've really gained weight."
"You've gained weight recently." Such words were undoubtedly a blow to any woman's heart.
Wang Zijin's expression changed. "Second aunt, did you bring a mirror?"
She came out to play today and did not bring her bag.
Wang Lingyan dazedly took out a makeup mirror from her designer bag and handed it over.
Wang Zijin looked at herself in the mirror. She did not know if it was because of her imagination, but she felt that she had indeed gained a lot of weight. Her oval-shaped face was rounder and her complexion was better. However, the word "fat" was unacceptable. Wang Zijin's face was sad. "I told you that if you eat like this every day, you'll definitely gain weight. I hate him to death. "
It's all Qin Bao Bao's fault. That foodie snatches food from me every day.
But Qin Bao Bao is not fat at all. Qin Ze is not fat either. I really envy foodies who don't gain weight.
Wang Lingyan's ears perked up. "Who is he?"
"A chef. I recently found a very good restaurant. Second aunt, I'll take you there when I'm free." Wang Zijin talked nonsense without changing her expression.
Wang Lingyan said with a faint smile, "Zijin, do you think the family can't find out about your connections in Shanghai? Don't argue with me, okay? "
Wang Zijin narrowed her eyes. "Second aunt, don't do anything unnecessary. You'll get angry."
"Forget it. I came to Shanghai this time to discuss a business deal and also to see you." Wang Lingyan did not want to continue arguing with this cunning niece.
The aunt and niece said goodbye at the airport. Wang Zijin watched her get into the commercial car sent by the company's driver.
Second aunt was testing her. She did not show any signs of changing her mind. She should be very disappointed. There was a reason for Second Aunt's painstaking persuasion. In the system where Second Uncle was in, Zhang Mingcheng's father was the leader of the Zhang family. It was self-evident what this meant.
Sometimes Wang Zijin hated that family. No matter what she did, she always put the "family" first, including her marriage. Her parents were in a political marriage.
Although there was no internal strife, she did not want to be too careful.
Over the years, her parents respected each other more. Although they were as loving as before at home, Wang Zijin knew that there was a woman in her father's heart. Although her mother did not cheat, she had been disappointed in this marriage for a long time. She looked at things more and more utilitarian.
She was very satisfied with her current life. She was very satisfied with Qin Bao Bao, her best friend. As for Qin Ze … she was very satisfied.
The siblings were always fooling around, but the older sister relied on the younger brother a lot, and the younger brother doted on the older sister a lot … Erm, there was something wrong with this pair of siblings. Anyway, it was very heartwarming.
Uncle Qin was more old-fashioned. When he beat people up, he was very ruthless. It was obvious that he valued his son very much. She heard from her best friend that the old man finally hoped for his son to be successful, but he was very frightened. He probably felt that his son's way of life was wrong. However, Qin Bao Bao said that the old man lost confidence in his way of education and started to doubt life.
After all, the ugly duckling in the family flew out and returned as a white swan. The old man felt that he was the ugly duckling, so he taught an ugly duckling.
Qin Ma was also very interesting. She was always worried that her daughter would not be able to get married. When she was at home, she was busy arranging blind dates. In recent years, it had become worse. It was said that it started after the siblings lived together.
How good would it be if she grew up in such a family?
"Hello, Azé, are you home?" She called Qin Ze.
"On the way back."
"Can you come to Hongqiao to pick me up?" Wang Zijin hesitated. "It's raining a bit heavily."
"Okay."
Wang Zijin hung up the phone with a gentle smile on her lips.
