Going to Family He
It was the weekend.
Aunt Joe nervously adjusted her collar. She looked left and right in front of the mirror, afraid that there was even the slightest blemish.
"Mom, you don't have to be so nervous. It's just a meal." Qiao Qiao comforted her. Although she was also very nervous, she calmed down when she saw Aunt Joe's anxious expression.
Aunt Joe's round face had a hint of worry. She said, "Qiao Qiao, what do you think of Mom's outfit?"
"It's very nice. It suits you very well." Qiao Qiao smiled as she helped Aunt Joe straighten out the small corner of her collar.
Aunt Joe had never bought expensive clothes in her life. In order not to embarrass Qiao Qiao when she went to Family He, she gritted her teeth and bought herself an expensive set of clothes that she didn't even dare to dream of. She just wanted to make Qiao Qiao proud.
However, Qiao Qiao knew very well that the clothes that were shockingly expensive in Aunt Joe's eyes were nothing in Family He's eyes.
In fact, she felt that it didn't matter whether the clothes were expensive or not. As long as the person was dignified, decent, and not sloppy, it was fine.
When Aunt Joe heard Qiao Qiao's words, she finally felt relieved. She walked forward and touched Qiao Qiao's cheek. Her eyes were filled with love. "My Qiao Qiao is so outstanding. Family He will definitely like you very much."
Qiao Qiao was stunned. She looked at her mother and her heart felt warm. She took the opportunity to press down Aunt Joe's hand that was on her face and smiled gently. "Yes, I believe that they will definitely accept me."
These words were meant to reassure Auntie Qiao as well as herself.
There was no need for the whole family to make such an exaggerated trip to visit Family He. Only He Shaochen, Qiao Qiao, Father Qiao, and Aunt Joe went. As for Qiao Nan and the other two, they stayed in the villa.
Qiao Nan said worriedly as he watched the car drive away. "I wonder if Dad and Mom will be ridiculed when they go there. I hope it's just an ordinary family dinner."
"That's hard to say. In any case, I'm not optimistic about it." Liu Mengying crossed her arms and said coldly.
Qiao Nan glanced at Liu Mengying and sighed, "Mengying, don't say that. It's best if Qiaoqiao can marry into a good family. Why do you keep making sarcastic remarks?"
"What about me?" Liu Mengying unhappily glared at Qiao Nan. Her face was a little harsh as she said, "Am I not telling the truth? Do you think Dad and Mom can enter the eyes of that group of rich people? Don't forget what Family He's status is! "
"Sigh, even if that's the case, doesn't Shaochen quite like Qiao Qiao?"
"Qiao Qiao is young and beautiful now. Who wouldn't like her?" Liu Mengying disagreed. "But appearance can't withstand the scrutiny of time. When her appearance is no longer there, do you think He Shaochen will still love her?"
"…"
No matter what Qiao Nan said, Liu Mengying could always rebut him with a single sentence.
He had a weak personality. In front of Liu Mengying, he would often do whatever she said. This time was the same. Although he felt that Liu Mengying's words were a little overboard, he subconsciously agreed with her thoughts.
"In short, don't get your hopes up." Liu Mengying said coldly and turned to walk into the villa.

It was the first time that Father Qiao and Aunt Joe had seen such a magnificent residence. It was simply like a palace.
When they entered Family He's residential area, the number of people gradually increased. Looking out the car window, they could see many helpers bustling about.
"Qiao Qiao, this place is just like the big houses in TV dramas. Just how big is it?" Aunt Joe's round face was full of astonishment.
Qiao Qiao had already been here once because of He Shaochen's mother, so her reaction this time was considered normal. When she saw Aunt Joe's shocked expression, she smiled and said, "I'm not sure, but it will probably take some time to walk from the main entrance to the main house."
"Oh my god, isn't that bigger than a small neighborhood?"
"It should be bigger than a small neighborhood." Qiao Qiao smiled.
She was quite nervous now. The thought of seeing He Shaochen's family soon made her heart beat faster and faster, almost exceeding the normal range.
However, Aunt Joe was even more nervous than she was. If she appeared nervous, Aunt Joe would definitely panic even more, so she had to stay calm and not let Aunt Joe worry about her.
The car stopped in front of the main house. He Shaochen got out first, turned around, opened the back door, and reached out to Qiao Qiao, who was in the car. "Get out."
Qiao Qiao was stunned. Then, she put her hand in He Shaochen's. The other party's hand was slightly cold, but it continuously gave Qiao Qiao courage and calmed her down a little.
"Don't be afraid. I'm here for you."
Qiao Qiao smiled and nodded heavily. "Thank you, He Shaochen."
He Shaochen smiled and looked at her steadily. "You're welcome."
"Welcome back, Young Master." As soon as they got out of the car, Family He's housekeeper, a white-haired old man, came up to them. Behind him were a few young men in professional suits. They were probably trainee housekeepers.
He Shaochen nodded slightly, then turned to Father and Aunt Joe and said, "Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, please come in."
It was the first time that Father and Aunt Joe had seen such a professional housekeeper. Their expressions were a little dazed, and their eyes were glued to something. When the housekeeper saw them, he just nodded politely at them.
As the group approached the main house, the four to five meter wide door slowly opened. There were people standing on both sides of the door. When He Shaochen and the group came in, everyone said in unison, "Welcome back, Young Master."
Their voices were sonorous and imposing. Qiao Lian's parents had never seen such a scene before, and they were shocked.
Aunt Joe quickly pulled Qiao Qiao over and whispered, "Oh my god, I thought we were filming a TV show."
Qiao Qiao smiled and whispered, "Family He is a noble family. There must be a lot of rules."
She gently patted Aunt Joe's hand on her sleeve and comforted her softly. "Mom, don't be nervous. It's just a family dinner."
In the innermost part of the main house, there were a few people. One of them was He Shaochen's mother, He Shaochen's mother. Standing beside her was a handsome and elegant man with a face similar to He Shaochen's. He was probably Shaochen's father. On their left was a young girl about the same age as Qiao Hui. Qiao Qiao guessed that she was He Shaochen's younger sister.
"Mom, Dad, Linlang." He Shaochen greeted them, then began to introduce Qiao Qiao's family to them. "This is Joe Qiao that I mentioned to you before. This is Joe Qiao's father, and this is her mother."
"Hello, Uncle He, Aunt He." Qiao Qiao nodded politely. When her gaze turned to Linlang, she hesitated and didn't know how to address her.
