My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

As soon as Lin Lin finished speaking, Lu Xiaoqiao was stunned for a moment.

But seeing that she was still excitedly sharing gossip with me, I must have only known that there was such a person, but I probably didn't know who it was exactly.

Seeing Lu Xiaoqiao's reaction, Lin Lin became even more excited: "Are you surprised? Let me tell you, when I first heard the news, I had the same reaction as you. I was completely shocked!"

Lu Xiaoqiao: “…”

After a while, Lu Xiaoqiao finally spoke and asked her curiously, "Who did you hear that from?"

Lin Lin had a smug look on her face, and spoke with a hint of pride, "Humph! I overheard it myself. I was late because of it. When I came out, I heard my grandfather on the phone. After he hung up, he hurriedly went to find my grandmother. He said something about the two of them living together! He was even planning to arrange for both sets of parents to meet and discuss marriage."

Living together? Marriage? How come this is still a rumor?

Lin Lin didn't notice why Lu Xiaoqiao was silent. She just pulled her aside and continued to chat excitedly, "You know that drone show last night? My uncle arranged it especially for my future aunt."

Lu Xiaoqiao: “…”

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoqiao's expression became a little unnatural, and she asked nervously, "Do you know who it is? It's so easy to call her aunt."

Lin Lin shook her head, then looked up after a moment, a sly glint in her eyes as she slowly said, "I don't know right now, but... I know the last three letters of the drone show are definitely related to my future aunt."

She frowned as she finished speaking, scratched her chin lightly with her left index finger, and muttered to herself, "What does LXQ mean? A person's name? Or does it represent some kind of meaning?"

When Lu Xiaoqiao heard her say the word "name", her heart suddenly tightened, and she felt nervous and guilty at the same time.

"Why study this? Your uncle will tell you when he wants you to know."

Lin Lin said with a smile, "I'm just curious about what kind of person could have taken down my uncle. Oh, by the way! I haven't wished you a happy birthday yet! As usual, let's go out for something delicious after get off work tonight."

They have a small rule, that is, no matter whose birthday it is, no gifts are given, but everyone gets together to treat the birthday person to a delicious meal.

After hearing this, Lu Xiaoqiao's eyes became a little evasive. She was afraid that she would not be able to have dinner with them today. After all, she had a boyfriend. When the two of them went out in the morning, Zhou Qizhen had made an appointment with her that he would pick her up from get off work in the evening and celebrate her birthday with her.

It seems I have to wait until later to find a reason.

……

Jiangheng Group office building.

As it was almost time to get off work, Zhou Qizhen received another call from his father.

The old man hesitated for a long time and couldn't explain clearly, but he didn't dare to ask too directly. In fact, Zhou Qizhen knew what he wanted to say.

Before Zhou's father could speak again, he said coldly, "It's not what you think."

Father Zhou heard the indifference in his son's tone and knew that he was a little angry at the moment. He didn't dare to confront him again, for fear that if he was unhappy, he would not bring his daughter-in-law back. He said with some embarrassment, "Dad didn't mean that. I was just thinking that it's almost New Year's Day! Why don't you bring her home? It can be considered a formal introduction, what do you say?"

Zhou Qizheng didn't rush to answer. He thought for a while before saying softly, "I'll ask her what she means later."

"Okay, okay, now that you've asked, call me and let me know. If Xiao Qiao agrees, I can have the chef prepare the meal for that day."

Zhou's father didn't care at all about his son becoming a henpecked husband in the future. As long as he could bring his future daughter-in-law back smoothly, he would be satisfied.

Zhou Qizheng hung up the phone, glanced at Li Yuxuan and Shen Yi who were sitting on the sofa waiting for him, and said, "I have something to do tonight, you guys go first!"

Li Yuxuan thought to himself: Do you really think we are asking you out for dinner? We are just here to see the excitement.

He asked seriously, "Is it your father's number?"

Before Zhou Qizheng could answer, Shen Yi spoke first, his tone seeming to be asking for help: "I asked you to bring your girlfriend home, right? Old Zhou, can you do it? Can you bring her back?"

Li Yuxuan continued, "Tsk! It's probably a bit risky. Didn't he just say he wanted to ask about it? It's obvious he's not confident enough."

Zhou Qi was being ridiculed by his two friends, but he remained silent and just focused on reviewing the documents on his desk.

Li Yuxuan and Shen Yi teased each other for a long time without getting any response. They looked at each other, felt bored, and simply left.

After leaving the house, Li Yuxuan still felt a little unwilling. He snorted and said, "You always put on a sour face all day long. I don't know who you are showing it to."

Shen Yi said with some self-awareness: "Who can I give it to? Give it to us! Would he dare to give it to Lu Xiaoqiao?"

Li Yuxuan said in a venting tone, "That's right, he thinks he has the ability to deal with us. If he really has the ability, he should show Lu Xiaoqiao his face and let us see it."

Shen Yi responded: "He looks serious, but he's even more reserved when it comes to his work. Last night's difficult drone show was designed by him working overtime. I suggested I help him with it, but he disagreed."

Li Yuxuan curled his lips and said, "I wonder how many secrets of chasing wives Lao Zhou has learned from us this time. Look at the birthday party he gave me. It was so grand and he even gave me a high-end custom car. With this combination of punches, I really have to admit defeat."

After Shen Yi heard what he said, he paused, rolled his eyes, and asked casually, "Did he really read it? Where did he buy it?"

Li Yuxuan shrugged and glanced at him: "Who knows? What? You still want to study? Chasing your little ex-girlfriend?"

Shen Yi said with an unnatural expression: "I'm just asking."

Li Yuxuan patted his shoulder and played the role of a close brother again: "Don't mess around. You and Lao Zhou are two different things. Lao Zhou is my first love after all. What about you? Not only did you break up with your girlfriend, but you were also engaged to another woman. Lao Zhou is the fake one, and you are the real one!"

Shen Yi hurriedly defended himself, "But I've already broken off the engagement. Besides, my engagement was fake."

Li Yuxuan spread his hands: "It's no use explaining to me, people have to believe you."

Shen Yi thought for a moment and said, "How about I follow Lao Zhou's example and put on a drone show?"

Li Yuxuan rolled his eyes: "If I were that girl, I would beat you up. If it were you, you should find out the root cause and figure it out first."

Shen Yi didn't say anything else, feeling a little disappointed. He had come here happily to see Zhou Qi having fun, but now, not only did he not see the fun, but he also got himself involved.

Zhou Qizhen looked up at his two friends leaving the office and made sure they would not come back.

With a "bang", he casually threw the pen in his hand onto the desk, and then leaned back heavily in frustration.

Close your eyes and let your emotions slowly calm down.

Ha! He will be able to marry Lu Xiaoqiao home one day. Unlike the two of them, they don’t even have a girlfriend now. Do you still want to watch him have fun? Dream on!

After comforting myself for a long time, I finally came to my senses.
