Because of Qi Chengze's example, Qi Chenglin's parents didn't dare to find a marriage alliance for Qi Chenglin and Qi Chengyue, so they let them fall in love freely. No matter how good a family background was, it was not as important as the safety of their children.
There was nothing wrong with falling in love freely. The Old Master and the Old Lady of the Qi family didn't have any family differences. However, Qi Chenglin was already 30 years old and had never had a woman. Without love, there was only freedom. When could he get married?
Qi Chengji, on the other hand, stayed in the army all day long. He was surrounded by rough old men. He didn't even get to see a woman, let alone the matter of marriage.
It was only because Qi Chengyue had lived up to her expectations that she would bring her boyfriend back today. He looked handsome, which made her quite fond of him.
Qi Chenglin was rejected by the Old Lady. He happened to see Qi Chengzhi coming over and immediately shouted, "Big Brother!"
"Grandpa, Grandma," Qi Chengzhi called. Qi Chengzhi called out. Qi Chengji, who was still in his military uniform, made way for him to sit next to his mother, Xia Wenna.
"Hmph! And you, did you hear what I said about Chenglin just now? You better hurry up! It's because you, the boss, didn't set a good example that the juniors followed your example. Relying on the fact that you're still unmarried, they're not in a hurry. "The old lady was even angrier when she saw Qi Chengzhi.
"Grandma, I have found him. I will bring him back for you when I have time," Qi Chengzhi replied calmly.
In fact, the Old Lady was just saying that. She didn't really miss him, but it had become a habit. Every time she saw Qi Chengzhi, she would feel uncomfortable if she didn't say a few words.
In the Old Lady's opinion, letting Qi Chengzhi find a woman to marry was like waiting for the iron tree to bloom.
The Old Lady had already given up on Qi Chengzhi. Now she pinned all her hopes on Qi Chenglin, who was single and had Qi Youxuan.
The Old Lady didn't listen to Qi Chengzhi's words carefully. She put a piece of orange into Qi Youxuan's mouth and continued, "Look at Chengyue. She said she will bring a man today —"
The old lady suddenly felt that something was not quite right. She blinked and paused for three seconds before turning her head abruptly to look at Qi Chengzhi. Feeling that Qi Zhongliang and Xia Wenna were in the way, she directly pulled them aside. "What did you just say?"
"I said I will bring him back for you when I have time," Qi Chengzhi said again without changing his expression.
"Cough!" Qi Chenglin choked on his tea. He took out a napkin and wiped his mouth. He looked at Qi Chengzhi. If Qi Chengzhi brought Song Yu back, the house would be lively.
Qi Chenglin couldn't help but glance at Qi Chengji. His ex-fiancée had become his future sister-in-law …
"You won't bring me a man, will you?" The old lady thought of the rumors. It was one thing to turn a blind eye to the rumors, but if this unfilial grandson really brought a man back, she would break his legs!
Old Mrs. Qi's words made Qi Chengzhi's hand, which was holding the orange, pause without a trace. He didn't know where the old lady came up with such a strange idea.
He calmly picked up an orange. "It's a woman. Don't worry."
"Really? When? Let's call her over for the New Year today! " When the old lady heard this, she was so excited that she couldn't control herself. She had the excitement of seeing an iron tree blossom with her own eyes. Her eyes lit up and her body leaned forward.
This kind of excitement was no less than sweet dew after a long drought.
Even Qi Zhongliang and Xia Wenna turned to look at Qi Chengzhi in surprise. They couldn't control their eldest son. He had been looking for a partner and didn't get married. They were anxious but didn't dare to say anything.
Just like three years ago, when Qi Chengzhi suddenly resigned as the general manager of Qilin Technology and was transferred to Qilin Real Estate to be the president. As his father, Qi Zhongliang still didn't dare to raise any objections.
Xia Wenna was so excited that she almost burst into tears. She grabbed Qi Chengzhi's arm. "You really have a girlfriend? Which family is she from? "
As for Qi Chengzhi, they didn't dare to ask him to find a daughter from a rich family. They would be satisfied as long as her family was clean.
"We've just started dating. When our relationship is stable, I'll bring her back. I'm afraid of scaring her if I bring her back so early. "Qi Chengzhi peeled the orange and threw a piece of orange into his mouth.
"Ouch …" Old Mrs. Qi was so excited that she really cried.
She had never seen Qi Chengzhi be so considerate before. He was afraid of scaring the girl and didn't dare to bring her back early. He was so considerate and careful. He really loved her to the core and was dating her with marriage as the prerequisite.
The old lady was suddenly overwhelmed. Her tears dripped on the orange, which tasted salty. Qi Youxuan was very helpless. It was a pity that these juicy and sweet oranges were wasted. So he slid down from the old lady's leg, grabbed the tissue box on the coffee table, and handed it to the old lady.
"Good girl." The old lady sniffed and said to Xia Wenna, "I didn't expect the eldest son to care for others. Wenna, on the fifteenth, come with me to the temple to make a wish and add some money for the incense. I've made a deal with Bodhisattva. If the eldest son can get married, I'll make a golden body for her. "
"You're always doing these weird things!" Old Mr. Qi, who was sitting at the head of the table, had always opposed feudal superstitions.
"You don't do it. Have you found a wife for your eldest grandson?" The old lady blew her nose and went to the old man.
The old man couldn't argue with her. He snorted angrily and continued to drink his tea.
"Master, Madam, Miss Chengyue is back." Just as Aunt Liu finished speaking, they heard Qi Chengyue's coquettish voice, "Grandpa, grandma!"
Along with the sound and the smell of perfume, Qi Chengyue ran over and hugged the old lady. "Grandma, I missed you so much!"
"This child." The old lady laughed and gently patted Qi Chengyue's arm. "You always say nice things. You missed me, but you didn't come back to see me."
"I'm back now. I even brought my boyfriend back." Qi Chengyue let go of the old lady's shoulder and shook the old lady's arm.
"You're still so young in front of your boyfriend. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?" Old Mrs. Han glared at her with a smile. "Hurry up and bring him in. It's not appropriate to leave him standing there alone!"
Qi Chengyue stuck out her tongue and ran back to Jian Yi. She hooked her arm and walked over. "Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, uncle, auntie, let me introduce him to you. This is my boyfriend, Jian Yi. He's the manager of Qi Lin Real Estate's engineering department."
She shyly extended her left hand and showed the back of it to them. "Jian Yi … proposed to me …"
The old lady was the happiest after hearing her words.
Qi Chengyue introduced Jian Yi to her family. Jian Yi met them one by one. Qi Zhongxun and his wife were quite satisfied with Jian Yi. Although his family was average, they saw that he was a good person. He was talented and ambitious. He became a manager at such a young age. If he was given enough support and opportunities, he would only do better than those rich young masters.
The most important thing was that Qi Chengyue liked him. Looking at Jian Yi's steady manner, Qi Chengyue was like a little bird in front of him.
Qi Zhongxun and Guan Liya were quite happy to be able to make Qi Chengyue obedient and change some of her bad habits.
As for Qi Zhongliang and his wife, Qi Chengyue was just a niece. Naturally, they wouldn't raise any objections as long as her parents didn't object.
When it was Qi Chengzhi's turn to be introduced, Qi Chengyue said, "You know my big brother. However, in the company, he's a boss and a subordinate. At home, he's a brother-in-law and brother-in-law. "
Qi Chengzhi nodded lightly at Jian Yi. He took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Song Yu. "What are you doing?"
Qi Chengzhi's every move pricked Jian Yi's nerves. He was always suspicious. When he saw Qi Chengzhi take out his phone, he guessed who he was contacting. Was it Song Yu?
What was his relationship with Song Yu now?
Qi Chengyue pulled him again. "This is my brother, Qi Chenglin. This is my nephew, Qi Youxuan."
Qi Chenglin also nodded lightly. He wasn't as enthusiastic as Qi Zhongxun and Guan Liya.
Looking at Qi Youxuan, who only had a little baby fat, Jian Yi smiled and said, "Hello, Youxuan. This is a gift for you. See if you like it."
Jian Yi took out a bag from the big and small bags of gifts. There was an Iron Man model in it.
"Why did you bring so many things when you came?" The more Guan Liya looked at Jian Yi, the more satisfied she was. This young man knew how to do things. Most importantly, he didn't forget his precious grandson. This made her the happiest.
Qi Youxuan looked at the model through the transparent packaging. He knew that Zhang Mingming from his kindergarten class had brought it to show off.
Qi Youxuan raised his eyes again and looked at Jian Yi strangely. "Uncle, what is this?"
"Iron Man. I heard that kids nowadays like it. Don't you know?" Jian Yi couldn't keep the smile on his face.
"I've heard of it, but I've never seen a movie because it's too violent. It's not suitable for kids." As Qi Youxuan spoke, he didn't take the gift. He climbed onto Grandfather Wei's lap again and glanced at Jian Yi.
His gaze seemed to say, "Is it appropriate for you to buy such a violent thing for a kid the first time you meet him?"
Jian Yi awkwardly held the gift and froze in the air. He tried to maintain a smile on his face, but in his heart, he was thinking why the men in the Qi family were so annoying.
Qi Youxuan ignored Jian Yi and said to the old man, "Great-grandpa, I want to eat oranges."
"Okay, okay." The old man smiled so much that his face wrinkled. He took an orange for Qi Youxuan and began to peel it.
Guan Liya was confused. When did her grandson become so against violent movies?
Then what was with the Transformers and the Avengers in his house?
The day before yesterday, he even dragged Qi Zhongxun to buy Iron Man.
Qi Chengyue looked at Qi Youxuan unhappily and pulled Jian Yi to sit down. "Don't lower yourself to his level. He's the only one in the family now. He's been spoiled."
Jian Yi smiled at her. The old man stuffed the peeled orange into his hands. When he looked at Jian Yi, his expression returned to being serious.
"If that's the case, then let's arrange a time for both families to meet. We'll have a meal and confirm the date," the old man said.
Qi Chengyue was delighted. With the old man's words, no one in the Qi family could object.
At this time, Qi Chengzhi also received a reply from Song Yu. It said, "I'm making dumplings."
Then, he sent a photo. Her fair hand was covered in flour. She was holding a chubby dumpling. A smile flashed in Qi Chengzhi's eyes. Qi Chengji, who was sitting next to him, saw it the clearest.
His brother's expression had never been so gentle before. He couldn't help but ask, "Girlfriend?"
He couldn't help but be curious. What kind of woman could subdue a man like Qi Chengzhi?
Qi Chengji stretched his head to see what the other party had sent. However, Qi Chengzhi put away his phone first. He couldn't see anything.
What kind of woman was so precious?
"I remember in the company's personnel information, Jian Yi, you're the only son in the family?" Qi Chengzhi asked coldly.
As he had just returned from a business trip, he didn't go back to his house to change clothes. He was still wearing a well-ironed suit. He didn't look like he was at home. People couldn't help but feel the pressure from him.
"Mhmm," Jian Yi nodded. He didn't understand what Qi Chengzhi was thinking.
"It's a reunion day on Chinese New Year's Eve. Don't you need to go home to accompany your parents? You're usually very busy with work. You don't have time to go back, right? " Qi Chengzhi poured himself a cup of tea. He brought it to his mouth and blew on it. The steam from the tea slowly rose into the air. It dyed his glasses white.
Jian Yi paused and smiled. "I originally planned to meet the elders today and go home in the afternoon."
After he finished speaking, he looked at him provocatively.
Qi Chengzhi's words were a little harsh. It was as if he was insinuating that he didn't care about his own parents in order to curry favor with the Qi family.
Qi Chengzhi nodded coldly and ignored him again.
Grandpa Qi and the others asked Jian Yi some more questions about the situation at home. Jian Yi also answered honestly. He didn't lie.
With the status of the Qi family, they could find out as long as they wanted to. There was no benefit for him to lie.
Grandma Qi asked Jian Yi to stay for lunch. During the meal, Qi Chengzhi didn't say a word to Jian Yi. Occasionally, he would answer Grandpa Qi's questions.
Qi Youxuan only ate meat and didn't eat any vegetables. Qi Chenglin frowned and said, "Don't be picky. Eat less meat."
This sentence immediately attracted the hatred of Grandma Qi. She glared at him angrily. "Your brother already has a girlfriend. When are you going to find one? Don't cause trouble for your own child all day!"
"…" Qi Chenglin didn't dare to say anything more. He buried his head in his food and ate silently.
Hearing this, Jian Yi couldn't help but look at Qi Chengzhi again. Qi Chengzhi seemed to be unaware of it. He elegantly ate the food on his plate.
After lunch, Jian Yi got up to leave. Qi Chengyue got up and went out to send Jian Yi off with an unhappy expression.
Qi Youxuan, who was sucking on a lollipop, gave Qi Chengzhi a look and ran into the bathroom.
Qi Chengzhi raised his eyebrows and followed him in.
"What are you doing?" Qi Chengzhi looked down at Qi Youxuan.
"You haven't forgotten what you promised me, right?" Qi Youxuan stretched out his chubby hand that was wet from the melted lollipop. "I'm ignoring Jian Yi. You have to give me double the red packet."
"Why would I give you today? Tomorrow is the day to give you the red packet." Qi Chengzhi sneered. "Do you think I owe you this little money?"
Qi Youxuan ignored Qi Chengzhi's disdain and nodded. "I like the Iron Man he gave me just now. However, because of my relationship with Uncle, I didn't accept it."
Qi Chengzhi pursed his lips. He took out his wallet and took out a few red bills. "Buy it yourself."
Qi Youxuan took the money with a smile. With a popsicle in his mouth, he took out a bulging wallet from his pocket with his wet, chubby hand. He opened the zipper, and there were 100 yuan, 50 yuan, 10 yuan, and even 10 cents worth of change inside. The wallet was stuffed to the brim.
Qi Youxuan folded the few hundred yuan that Qi Chengzhi gave him and put it into the wallet. He zipped it up and carefully put it back into his pocket. He took the lollipop out of his mouth and said to Qi Chengzhi, "Thank you, Uncle!"
He ran out quickly to find a place to count the money in the wallet. On the way, he heard him mumble, "I need to get a bigger wallet. This wallet is not enough. Fourth Uncle's wallet is good."
Qi Chengzhi was not in a hurry to leave the bathroom. He leaned against the sink and smoked half a cigarette.
Grandpa and Grandma didn't smoke. They didn't like the smell of smoke in the house.
When he went out, Qi Chengyue had already returned. Her face was cold and unhappy. She didn't have the coquettish and cute temperament that she had when she first came in.
Seeing Qi Chengzhi come out, Qi Chengyue asked unhappily, "Brother, why did you talk to Jian Yi like that? I told Jian Yi that he would spend New Year's at our house tonight. "
Qi Chengzhi glanced at her indifferently and sat on the sofa. "You're going to marry him in the future. Right now, he's trying to please you before you get married. It's fine for him to spend New Year's at our house, but it's New Year's Eve. It's an important day. What do you think of his parents?"
"I know that you think his parents won't dare to say anything because of our family background. But do you plan to be like this for the rest of your life? You're going to marry him in the future. He knows that you don't treat his parents well. As time passes, his feelings for you will fade. Do you think he will still care about you as much as he does now? "
"Moreover, since he's the son-in-law of the Qi family, he can't just be a small manager in the future. When he gets bigger and has his own business, he won't lack the money and power in your hands. In the future, can you stop him from going out?"
"Moreover, in his situation, he's basically a live-in son-in-law. All men have self-esteem. It's just that it hasn't reached the bottom line. Once it reaches the bottom line, it'll hurt your relationship. If you don't quickly avoid the conflict between the two of you before it happens, it'll be too late for you to fix it when it gets bigger and bigger. "
"Do you believe in my judgment of people? Jian Yi is the kind of person who will bury it in his heart even if he cares. Once he buries it more and more, it will explode one day. You're young now, don't you think? You're also passionately in love with him. After a long time, the conflict will come out. You're a spoiled young lady at home, so everyone has to accommodate your temper. Jian Yi can tolerate you once or twice, but believe me, I'm also a man. Any proud man won't tolerate you too many times. "
"You let him come to our house to have a reunion dinner and leave his parents. How did you come up with this idea? Because of you, he doesn't dare to say it even if he's unhappy. If he doesn't agree, do you think you'll just ask him if he doesn't care about you? "
Qi Chengyue opened her mouth and closed it again. She was rendered speechless by Qi Chengzhi's words.
Qi Chengzhi glanced at her indifferently. "So I'm helping you."
"Yes, Chengzhi has a point," Guan Liya also said. "We've spoiled you rotten. If you really like Jian Yi, don't always show your spoiled young lady temper in front of him."
"Got it," Qi Chengyue said gloomily. She couldn't help but look at Qi Chengzhi again. "I thought Big Brother didn't like him and deliberately drove him away."
Usually, Qi Chengzhi would nod at her when he saw her. He had never talked so much to her.
Now, he actually said a lot to her. Such a patient analysis was not in line with Qi Chengzhi's character at all.
