"What kind of person is she? Why did she come here if she thinks this place is shabby? " The old lady was angry. She had never seen such an unreasonable shrew. Did she think she was so great just because she had some money? If she had the ability, she could have taken out all her money and competed with the Qi family!
"Don't be angry. There are all kinds of people nowadays." Aunt Liu quickly comforted her and continued to walk up.
The old lady took a few steps and exclaimed, "Why do I feel that the person just now looks quite familiar?"
There were a lot of people at the wedding yesterday. The old man and the old lady were highly respected. When they sat at the main table, few people dared to disturb them. Compared with the eight noble families, the Yu family was not an important guest, so they were arranged to sit at the back. The old lady had seen Liang Lihua from afar, but she didn't have any impression of her.
The old lady had dressed up carefully yesterday and even put on makeup. But she was afraid that she would put too much pressure on Song Yu's parents, so she dressed simply and didn't put on makeup. She looked no different from an ordinary old lady, so Liang Lihua didn't recognize her.
The driver, Fan Xian, recognized her and said, "It's Mrs. Yu, the mother of Miss Yu Keyao that Mrs. Wang introduced to Mr. Cheng."
When the old lady heard this, her face immediately became very ugly. "Hmph! Wenna, what kind of people did you introduce to her? Even a mother is like this, how good can a daughter be? "
Immediately, the old lady took out her cell phone and called Xia Wenna.
Xia Wenna picked up the phone and had just called out "Mom" when she heard the old lady's particularly unhappy voice. She said furiously, "That Yu Keyao, don't even think about matchmaking her with Chengzhi. Don't you even know what kind of people that family is made of? Her mother was unreasonable and rude, so how could her daughter be any better? If they really have such a family, there will be trouble in the future! "
"Haven't you learned your lesson from Cheng Ze? Why did you force one on Cheng Zhi and force my eldest grandson to die? Are you happy now? " The old lady was so agitated that she stamped her feet on the stairs. Thinking of her dead grandson and the grandson who couldn't even find a wife according to his wishes, her eyes turned red.
"Mom, what are you talking about? What happened? Did you meet Mrs. Yu? "Xia Wenna felt that she was too innocent. How could she be scolded for no reason?
"In short, I don't accept Yu Keyao as my granddaughter-in-law!" After saying this, the old lady hung up the phone, put it back in her pocket, and continued to go upstairs.
…
…
Song Yu led Qi Chengzhi to sit on the sofa. Song Yu's house was not big. It was a two-bedroom house of 100 square meters, with two bedrooms and two living rooms. Just now, the living room was crowded with five people. Now that Liang Lihua was gone, the situation did not improve much.
Qi Chengzhi sat upright on the sofa. When he wasn't smiling, he seemed a little cold and unapproachable. Now that he had a serious expression on his face, it looked even more like he was here to cause trouble.
Yu Qianying pulled Song Donglin to sit opposite them. Song Donglin, who had been living a retired life in recent years, had always adhered to the principle that muddle-headedness was bliss. Now, his face showed a serious expression that had not appeared for many years.
"What did you tell me when Jian Yi said there might be something going on between the two of you?" Yu Qianying looked at Song Yu with a stern expression. She felt that she had been deceived, and there was hurt and disappointment in her eyes.
"Mom, we really weren't together at that time." Song Yu looked straight at Yu Qianying. He didn't feel guilty. At that time, they really weren't together. At most, Qi Chengzhi unilaterally played hooligan with her.
Yu Qianying took a deep look at Song Yu. "I don't care what the relationship between the two of you was at that time, but you know our relationship with the Qi family. Even if we don't talk about it, you used to be Qi Chengji's fiancée, and now you are with my brother. What do you want others to say about you? Those ugly words and dirty water are all poured on you. Do you want to accept it? "
"And the Qi family." Yu Qianying took a deep breath and looked at Qi Chengzhi. His handsome face was extremely serious at this time. "I don't believe that your family will agree. When the Song family went bankrupt, your family couldn't wait to draw a line with us. I was resentful, but I wasn't too angry. After all, even my brother did this. How can I blame the Qi family, who is not related to me? "
"But based on the relationship between Song Yu and Qi Chengji, will the Qi family agree to the two of you? Moreover, our family is now ordinary people. We have nothing, and even our savings are pitifully small. All these years, Song Yu has been working hard to earn money outside. Most of the money she brought back was saved for her dowry, but the total amount of money is only enough to buy a slightly better car. With such a small amount of money, your family won't be interested in it. "
"For us, who have nothing, will the Qi family agree? If they can agree, they won't draw a line with us so quickly at the beginning. Song Yu is my daughter. I don't want my daughter to be wronged and humiliated by anyone. I'm afraid that your family will inevitably persuade Song Yu to break up with you! "
Song Yu wanted to speak, but felt his hand being squeezed. She looked down and saw his well-defined, delicate, and fair hand holding her. Warmth continuously came from his palm, warm and firm.
"My family won't have any objections." Qi Chengzhi's low and mellow voice seemed particularly firm and powerful at this time. The room was very quiet, and only his voice could be heard, powerful and resonant. "I will date Song Yu on the premise of marriage. I won't let her be wronged or humiliated."
"Can you represent the Qi family?" Yu Qianying curled her lips.
"No." Qi Chengzhi said very straightforwardly, so straightforwardly that Yu Qianying was stunned.
Then she heard Qi Chengzhi say, "I won't represent the Qi family. This is my personal matter, and they can't make the decision for me. Even if they oppose it, so what? Just because of their words, I can't marry a wife? They don't have that kind of ability. "
"I won't say that I have to get the blessing of my family to get married. Even if they don't give their blessing, I will still marry myself. I won't let Song Yu live a hard life with me, and I won't let her be wronged. I will still marry her legally."
"What are you talking about?" Song Yu finally couldn't hold it in anymore. His ears turned red. Why did it sound like he was here to propose marriage? "Today, I brought you here to meet my parents and let them know about our relationship. I didn't bring you here to propose marriage."
His strong hand held her firmly, and his deep black eyes slightly stared at her. His eyelashes gently covered half of his eyes. "Today, besides letting Uncle and Auntie know that we are dating, I also want to let Uncle and Auntie know that I am very serious about dating Song Yu and that I want to marry her."
"I haven't discussed this matter with her, but I guess she doesn't want to be so fast. She wants to date first and understand each other, so I didn't tell her."
Yu Qianying noticed that Qi Chengzhi's hand that was holding Song Yu's five fingers were thin and long, and the joints were distinct. The ring on his middle finger was particularly obvious on his white finger.
Then she looked at Song Yu's left hand that was placed on his knee. The middle finger was also wearing the same ring.
Yu Qianying felt a little depressed. She didn't agree with these two people being together from the bottom of her heart. Who knew what kind of grievances Song Yu would suffer in the Qi family?
They had no background and no status now. When Song Yu was wronged, no one would support her. They would only think that Song Yu had no status in the Qi family and was easy to bully.
Just as she was about to speak, the doorbell rang again.
Yu Qianying glanced at the two people, then got up and walked to the door.
When she opened the door, she saw an old lady standing at the door. Yu Qianying was stunned for a long time before she realized that this old lady was very familiar. Was she Qi Chengzhi's grandmother?
After so many years, the old lady didn't put on makeup, and she looked much older than before. Yu Qianying really couldn't be sure for a moment.
"Xiao Yu!" Old Lady Qi said with a smile.
"You are —" Yu Qianying hesitantly looked at the old lady in plain clothes in front of her, and then looked at the people standing behind her. They were all carrying a lot of things.
"Don't remember me? I am Qi Chengzhi's grandmother. "Old Lady Qi said with a smile," Are you free now? Is everything all right? "
Yu Qianying was so surprised that she forgot to respond. She didn't expect that the old lady of the Qi family would come in person.
She twisted her neck and raised her left hand to beat her shoulder. "Ah, I'm old and I have to admit defeat. I'm so tired just carrying these things. My waist can't bear it."
Yu Qianying came to her senses and saw the old lady grinning outside the door. She put the things in her hands on the ground and began to massage her back.
But the box didn't seem to be heavy at all. When it was put on the ground, it made a hollow sound, and the box also shook twice.
However, seeing that old lady Qi came with big and small bags, it didn't seem to be looking for trouble. Could it be that she came to persuade her not to let Song Yu continue to be with Qi Chengzhi?
But if so, didn't she just take the check directly?
What was the matter with these things?
Yu Qianying couldn't figure it out, so she could only invite the old lady in.
The old lady happily asked the driver Xiao Fan and Aunt Liu to move all the things into the house. As she walked, she asked, "These are all food and drinks. Where do you think it is appropriate to put them? I think it's better to put them in the kitchen! "
Without waiting for Yu Qianying's answer, she asked Xiao Fan to move all the things into the kitchen.
"I didn't tell you before I came. It's so presumptuous. I don't want to disturb you, right? In fact, I have known that you live here for a while, but I was embarrassed to come rashly. " The old lady held Yu Qianying's hand affectionately and didn't give Yu Qianying a chance to speak at all. She kept talking like a machine gun.
When Qi Chengzhi brought Song Yu to the door that day and knew that Song Yu was Qi Chengzhi's girlfriend, the Qi family naturally couldn't do nothing. They immediately investigated Song Yu's things over the years.
Naturally, this residence couldn't be hidden from the Qi family.
Every time Yu Qianying wanted to open her mouth, her words were blocked by Old Lady Qi, so she simply didn't answer.
Anyway, they had walked to the living room. As soon as the old lady entered, she saw her grandson sitting on the sofa, motionless like a stone, and was shocked.
"Oh, why are you here?" The old lady asked in surprise and patted her chest. Fortunately, she didn't come to break up the lovey-dovey couple. Otherwise, how could she face her eldest grandson now?
She thought about what she said to Yu Qianying just now. There should be nothing bad about it, so she wasn't afraid that Qi Chengzhi would be unhappy.
Qi Chengzhi raised his eyebrows. Naturally, he heard what the old lady said just now and could roughly guess the old lady's intention. The corner of his mouth slightly raised, and the original stern line was erased.
"I'm here to propose marriage." Qi Chengzhi's voice was low and calm. His face, which no longer had a smile at this time, looked particularly serious.
The old lady: "…"
Song Yu: "…"
Yu Qianying: "…"
Song Donglin: "…"
"I'm here to visit my future father-in-law and mother-in-law. But grandma, why did you come here for no reason?" Qi Chengzhi looked at the old lady with a faint smile, which made the old lady speechless for a while.
Yu Qianying curled her lips. Just now, it was clearly the first time that her boyfriend came to visit. How did it become a marriage proposal now? How could this person be so thick-skinned?
Father-in-law and mother-in-law? She hadn't agreed to go out with them yet. Wasn't it a little too early to call them that?
However, the old lady's next words made Yu Qianying completely speechless.
"I'm here to visit my in-laws." The old lady didn't wait for Yu Qianying to say anything and sat down on the sofa. She glanced at the coffee table and asked, "In-laws, do you have any cups? It's so cold outside. I just want to drink some hot tea now. "
"Don't … don't call me that. I'm not used to it." Yu Qianying braced herself and said. She couldn't be swayed by this grandmother and granddaughter in a few words. "Moreover, we haven't agreed to the relationship between your grandson and my daughter. He just came to visit and hasn't said a few words. It's too early to call him in-laws now."
As Yu Qianying spoke, she went to the kitchen to get three cups and asked Aunt Liu and the driver, Xiao Fan, to drink some tea.
The old lady pursed her lips. She was not very happy with Yu Qianying's refusal. She picked up the teacup and blew on it a few times. Then, she drank a few mouthfuls of tea. When her body began to warm up, the old lady sighed comfortably and put down the teacup.
"Xiao Yu, look at me. I'm old enough to be your mother, so I can be considered your elder. So, don't be anxious. Listen to me first. " The old lady rubbed her hands and looked at the teacup for a while, as if she didn't know where to start. "Look at my eldest grandson. He's good looking and has a very upright personality. It's been so many years, but I've never seen him get close to any woman. Even those entertainment gossip newspapers didn't record anything about him. What does this mean? It means that our Chengzhi is a very self-respecting person. It's hard to find a man like him these days. "
"People like him either don't find one, or once he does, he's set on it." The old lady sighed. "It's not that I'm boasting, but just based on his qualifications, his character, and his single-minded attitude towards women, how many women in this world would fight to the death to have him?"
"To tell you the truth, when I first found out about them, I didn't quite agree. You see, Song Yu was engaged to my grandson, and I also treated her as my granddaughter-in-law. Although we haven't seen each other for many years, she's always been in my heart. That day, she suddenly appeared at my house and said that she would be my granddaughter-in-law in the future. I really couldn't accept it for a while. "
"Not only is our relationship messed up, but the outside world is also saying nasty things, whether it's to our two families or to the two children," the old lady said slowly. She spoke until she was thirsty and took another sip of tea.
"But I thought about it again. My grandson can't be without Song Yu now. As for the nasty things outside, how long can they be spread after the two children get married? The key is that the two children like each other. As long as they can be happy, why should we care about what outsiders say? Don't you think so, Xiao Yu? "
The old lady was a little excited as she spoke. As she began to imagine the future, her face bloomed with an especially bright glow. "When the two children get married, it won't be long before I can hold my great-grandson, and so can you. Let's live our happy lives. It's fine as long as we live well. Why should we care about what outsiders say? Will we be happy just because we listen to those outsiders? That's obviously impossible. Instead, we'll break up the children. Just because of a few rumors, our children's happiness will be ruined. Isn't it worth it? "
The most important thing was that Qi Chengzhi had finally found a girl he wanted to marry. Other than being engaged to Qi Chengji, there was nothing wrong with Song Yu in other aspects. She had a clean family background and a good personality. The old lady had always liked her. When she canceled the engagement with Qi Chengji, the old lady was especially sorry.
The most important thing for her now was to quickly hold her great-grandson. She didn't want to care so much about other things.
"Xiao Song, Xiao Yu, when do you think we should set a date?" The old lady took out an almanac from her bag. "I've brought the almanac."
"Old Madam, you …" Yu Qianying didn't know what to say to the old lady.
She was already so old. Even though she was everyone's elder, no one dared to speak harshly to her.
"Grandma, you don't object?" Qi Chengzhi's deep black eyes were also tinged with a gentle smile.
"If I object, would you really break up with Song Yu?" The old lady rolled her eyes. She could see it clearly!
Even if the whole family objected, Qi Chengzhi could go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Song Yu at any time to get their marriage certificate. What was the point of objecting?
Qi Chengzhi smiled and said, "Han Zhuoli invested in a show. They're going to shoot in the Siheyuan at the old house. There's a show that needs an old lady to act with the female lead. Grandma, are you interested? If you are, I'll let Han Zhuoli know. There's no need to go to the casting. There aren't many lines. It's just two scenes. It'll be done in a day. It won't be tiring for you. "
"Really?" The old lady's eyes immediately lit up. She leaned forward. "What role is it? Give me something challenging. For example, an old lady whose children are not filial and don't care about me after cheating me of all my money. Or an old lady who can only make a living by collecting scraps. Or someone with dementia, mental problems, or abandoned by their children. It's all fine. The main thing is that it has to be difficult and highlight my acting skills. "
The old lady sat up straight and smoothed out her clothes. "Look at my temperament and spirit. I'm not an ordinary old lady. It's too boring for me to act as myself. What I want is an extreme contrast. That's the only way to test my acting skills and show my professionalism. "
The old lady leaned forward again. She took a sip of tea and raised her index finger in front of her. "Did I tell you? When I was young, I was in the Song and Dance Troupe. I played San Mao, White Hair Girl, and Iron Plum in Red Lantern. After I retired, I went back to help out from time to time. I even played Grandma Li. "
"I'm not too sure about the specifics. I'll ask Han Zhuoli later, or I can just call him over to the old house. You can talk to him in detail about what kind of role you want. If you think the minor roles are too light, even if you want a lead role, just let him know and he'll add it for you." Qi Chengzhi picked up the teapot and filled up the old lady's teacup. He also filled up Song Donglin and Yu Qianying's teacups. Even Aunt Liu and Little Fan had the honor of being personally poured tea by him.
Aunt Liu and Little Fan were flattered. Their hands were still shaking as they held the teacups.
