My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

After Lu Xiaoqiao finished speaking, Zheng Yan fell silent. Li Na chuckled, "What's the matter? Do you dare to hit someone?"

Lu Xiaoqiao glanced at Zheng Yan.

"Ask her if I dare?"

After saying that, he walked past the two of them and went downstairs first.

When Lu Xiaoqiao moved before, Zhou Qizhen and Li Yuxuan came here once and knew the address, but his girlfriend didn't let him come so early, so now he could only quietly park the car in a remote corner of the street.

I didn't dare drive the car out until I received her call.

Because the New Year is approaching and Christmas is approaching, big red Chinese knots are hung on the lampposts on the streets, and even the trees on both sides of the street are decorated with lights and various kinds of shooting star lights.

Just as Lu Xiaoqiao was admiring the beauty of the galaxy-like flowing lights above, a black Bentley stopped on the street where she was standing.

Lu Xiaoqiao blinked in surprise: "So soon? Have you been waiting here all this time?"

"Well, get in the car!"

After Lu Xiaoqiao got in the car and fastened her seat belt, he restarted the car and drove away.

"Didn't I tell you to wait for my call before coming over? You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?"

Zhou Qizheng raised his eyebrows and asked instead of answering, "If I wait until you finish your call before driving over, are you going to just stand outside and freeze?"

Lu Xiaoqiao didn't expect him to be so considerate: "I'm afraid you're busy with work, don't waste time picking me up."

Taking advantage of the red light, Zhou Qizhen held her hand.

"There's always work to do, and besides, picking you up isn't a waste of time. I don't want you standing outside in the cold waiting for me."

So he can drop his work and wait for her?

Sometimes Lu Xiaoqiao really couldn't understand what Zhou Qizhen saw in her. He was such an outstanding man and treated her so well, but she didn't want him to be in the public eye because of her own concerns.

Suddenly I felt a little sorry for him.

She calmed her disturbed heartbeat and said as if she had made up her mind, "After the New Year, I'll take you to meet my aunt."

Zhou Qizhen's eyes were filled with joy, and he said while driving, "There's still half a month left, I'll make some preparations then." He would ask Secretary Ding to check what gifts to bring when he meets the girl's family for the first time at work tomorrow.

Lu Xiaoqiao was speechless, knowing that he had misunderstood, and said stubbornly, "I'm talking about the year before New Year's Eve."

Zhou Qizheng: “…”

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, I thought he was angry. I looked at his face and couldn't tell any emotion.

A large, bony hand tugged at the steering wheel. After turning back, his slender fingers tapped twice before he spoke again, "I thought... they were letting me become a regular employee early!"

So happy!

Lu Xiaoqiao was stunned for a moment and said, "New Year's Eve is not far away, so it's early this year."

"You're definitely going home for the New Year, right? How about this? I'll pick you up and then go directly to your house to meet your family."

"Ah? It's a bit too fast!" I just said I would meet my aunt, how come I have to meet my parents in just one sentence?

"It's not that fast. We've known each other for quite some time!" Zhou Qizhen thought to himself, it's been ten years!

Lu Xiaoqiao glanced at his expectant eyes, and it was difficult to say no, so she nodded and said "Yeah!"

Her agreement made Zhou Qizheng a little excited, and even his voice was filled with joy: "I haven't been to Northeast China yet. How long do you plan to stay at home during the New Year? I can make arrangements in advance."

Lu Xiaoqiao thought for a moment and said, "My grandma is going to have a birthday celebration this year, that's my grandma."

Afraid Zhou Qizheng wouldn't know who she was talking about, Lu Xiaoqiao explained to him and continued, "I heard from my mom that it's scheduled for the third day of the New Year, so I guess I'll have to rush back on the sixth or seventh day. I'll have to see if I can buy a high-speed rail ticket then."

Zhou Qizheng was surprised and asked, "Why did you take the high-speed rail home when it's so far? Why not take a plane?"

Lu Xiaoqiao glanced at him lightly. This was the difference between the two of them. He only thought about convenience and speed, and didn't consider the wallet at all!

"During the Lunar New Year holiday, air tickets are several times more expensive than high-speed rail tickets. And high-speed rail is so convenient! It only takes a little over eight hours!"

Zhou Qi was about to show some enthusiasm: "I'll help you arrange your trip home."

Lu Xiaoqiao tilted her head and glanced at him: "No, I made an appointment with my roommates and friends to go back together, please don't treat me specially."

Zhou Qizhen didn't say anything, and it was unclear whether he heard it or not.

When they arrived at the barbecue restaurant, one was responsible for grilling and the other was responsible for eating.

Zhou Qi was putting a piece of roasted beef belly on Lu Xiaoqiao's plate.

"I can't eat barbecue often anymore!"

Lu Xiaoqiao was stunned for a moment and asked him, "Why?"

Zhou Qi was thinking back to when he was in the office before. Li Yuxuan happened to be there too. He asked someone to take a seat at the barbecue restaurant, and Li Yuxuan teased him about what he said.

"You take your girlfriend out for barbecue every day, aren't you afraid she'll get a sore throat? If someone doesn't know, they'd think you're going bankrupt and can only take your woman out for barbecue!"

After thinking about Li Yuxuan's words for a while, she felt that he was right. She had only cared about making her happy and had not considered her health. "I'm afraid you'll get angry if you eat too much."

Lu Xiaoqiao dipped the beef in the sauce, wrapped it in lettuce, put it in his mouth, and said incoherently, "I'm not afraid of getting angry."

Zhou Qizheng stroked her head and said, "Be good, I'll bring you here to eat once a month."

Regarding her boyfriend's father's 'educational method', Lu Xiaoqiao suppressed her laughter and said playfully, "Got it! Uncle."

Zhou Qizheng was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly and dotingly: "Naughty!"

……

After dinner, the two drove downstairs.

I saw Zhao Zhizhi arguing excitedly with a short, slightly fat man, and Zhao Jia was trying to persuade him.

Lu Xiaoqiao hurriedly got out of the car and asked Zhao Jia what happened.

Before Zhao Jia could say anything, Zhao Zhizhi excitedly pointed at the short man across from me and said to Lu Xiaoqiao, "This is my landlord. I've only been living here for a few days, and he asked me to move out, saying he doesn't want to rent it anymore. He didn't even wait a day, and he came here in the middle of the night to tell me to move out, forcing me to move out tomorrow. How can you bully me like that?"

The short man was also unhappy after hearing what Zhao Zhizhi said: "How did I bully you? I sold my house. How does selling my house bother you? Besides, I compensated you, what else do you want?"

"Being rich is such a big deal! Is this about money? I didn't say I wouldn't move, but there has to be a deadline, right? How can you just move whenever you want? It's almost the end of the year, where do you want me to move to? You can't even wait until after the New Year, and you're still selling the house. If you wanted to sell it, why did you rent it out in the first place? You're just ripping me off!"

The short man waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to say anything more: "Anyway, I'll come to collect the house tomorrow afternoon. You have one day to move out, otherwise I'll call the police." After saying that, the man turned and left.

Zhao Zhizhi's hands were shaking with anger, and he pointed at the man's back while panting and cursed, "Just a few bucks and you think you're so great!"

Just as he finished speaking, he saw Zhou Qizhen standing next to Lu Xiaoqiao. Thinking of what he had just said when he scolded the landlord, he felt a little embarrassed. After all, this guy was really rich.

"Mr. Zhou." Zhao Zhizhi and Zhao Jia greeted Zhou Qizhen at the same time.

"Yeah." Zhou Qizheng nodded in response, then said, "Do you need any help?"

How could Zhao Zhizhi dare let someone of his status get involved in the trivial matters of his humble life? He quickly waved his hand and refused: "No need, Mr. Zhou, thank you. I'll just pack my things up today and go to the agency tomorrow to check it out."

Zhou Qizheng nodded: "Okay, tell me if you need any help."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Zhou."

"Mr. Zhou, I'm going to go upstairs and clean up. You and Xiao Qiao...go ahead."

Zhao Zhizhi didn't know what to say. He understood that it was impossible for a couple in the honeymoon period of their relationship to say goodbye without a goodnight kiss. After saying goodbye to Zhou Qizhen, he pulled Zhao Jia upstairs.

Zhou Qizhen was very satisfied with Zhao Zhizhi's vision.
