My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

Nine p.m.

The drunken father Lu was supported by Zhou Qizhen into the house.

Lu Xiaoqiao glanced at Zhou Qizheng, who was still conscious. "You guys went drinking again tonight? Why didn't you stop my dad?"

"I tried to persuade him, but it didn't work."

The two men helped Mr. Lu to the sofa. Mrs. Lu looked at Mr. Lu, who was drunk as a puddle of mud, and wished she could throw a basin of cold water on him to wake him up.

"Xiao Qiao, you guys should go and rest quickly!"

"Mom, can you do this alone?"

"It's okay, go wash up!"

After Lu Xiaoqiao and Zhou Qizheng left, Mother Lu pushed Father Lu in annoyance and sighed, "You are so careless! How could you drink so much? I am alone at home and worried to death, but you are still in the mood to drink."

Father Lu had sobered up a bit now. He took Mother Lu's hand, a smug look on his face, and said with a big tongue, "You know what, Qi Zheng is really a good kid. Today, as soon as he sat down and put pen to paper, everyone present envied him."

"Why would I envy you for having good handwriting?"

"Why do you envy me? Of course I envy you for having a good son-in-law! Hahaha!"

Father Lu suddenly sat up and excitedly pulled Mother Lu's hand and continued, "You have no idea how amazing our Qi Zheng is. This kid is a hidden talent! He can actually remember cards, and those old guys were so stunned that I felt embarrassed when he won! Hahaha!"

"When we were in the bathroom, I secretly told him, 'Qi Zheng! Others can win less, but don't be polite to Lao Zheng, who always looks down on me.' Guess what happened? Lao Zheng ended up losing everything, and you'll see! His wife will definitely punish him when he gets home."

Mother Lu looked at Father Lu praising Zhou Qizhen with saliva flying, and felt mixed emotions for a moment.

Everyone likes outstanding people, but my daughter is just an ordinary girl with no family background. How could she possibly subdue such a powerful man?

She now really regretted letting Xiao Qiao bring Zhou Qizhen to the birthday party. After today, everyone in the surrounding villages, whether they knew her or not, would probably know that her Xiao Qiao had a rich boyfriend.

How could I be so stupid? On the day Zhou Qizhen came, I only needed to take a glance to notice his unique temperament, coupled with his extraordinary way of speaking, how could I not realize that he was definitely not an ordinary person?

In comparison, she would rather her daughter find an ordinary person. If the two of them couldn't make it to the end, what would happen to her daughter's Xiao Qiao? She didn't know how harsh the words would be.

……

The next day.

Mother Lu didn't sleep well the whole night.

He got up before dawn and sat there sighing.

When Mr. Lu finally woke up and was able to distinguish right from wrong, Mrs. Lu told him what had troubled her all night.

She wanted to say it last night, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Father Lu got angry and yelled, saying that no one could take away his good son-in-law.

In just one day, I don’t know what kind of magic potion that guy had poured into her, but she no longer minds the fact that he is ten years older than her daughter!

After hearing what Mother Lu said, Father Lu was shocked for a while. After he came to his senses, he looked at Mother Lu eagerly.

"I think he's really attentive to Xiao Qiao, and it's Chinese New Year. He drove all the way here, so he can't just be having fun!"

"Looking at it now, it seems quite attentive. I'm just afraid of the future."

Father Lu lit a cigarette, took a puff, and then said, "That's not the case. No matter who you know, there's no guarantee that the two of you will be together forever. Just let nature take its course! Now that you know, what can you do? Can you still separate the two children?"

……

Zhou Qizhen had learned his lesson yesterday and woke up very early today. When he heard movement at Lu's mother's door, he quickly got up and got dressed.

When I opened the door and went in, I saw Mr. and Mrs. Lu sitting silently on the sofa.

Seeing Zhou Qizheng come in, Mother Lu was stunned at first, then she chuckled at him: "Why are you up so early today?"

Zhou Qizheng noticed that Mother Lu was not as enthusiastic as before, and even her smile seemed forced. He was a little puzzled: "Auntie, is there something wrong?"

Neither of the two old men said anything. It wasn't that they didn't want to talk, but they simply didn't know how to start the conversation.

Finally, Father Lu thought for a long time and asked, "How did you and Xiao Qiao meet?"

When Zhou Qizheng heard Father Lu's question and combined it with the expressions of the two old men just now, he, who had been in the fiercely competitive business world for many years, naturally understood everything.

This was because they were worried about him after knowing his true identity. He had not intended to hide it, but after being misunderstood by Lu's father, he told young people to keep a low profile, which made it impossible for him to explain himself.

If he doesn't completely dispel the concerns of the two old people today, his relationship with Xiao Qiao will be difficult to move forward.

Zhou Qizheng thought for a while, then spoke slowly after careful consideration.

"Uncle, Auntie, Xiao Qiao is kind, cute, young, and beautiful. To be honest, I've been pursuing your daughter for a long time, and it took a lot of courage to express my feelings to her."

"Because of my age, I'm afraid your daughter will dislike me. I finally got her, how could I bear to let her suffer any injustice?"

"As for my financial problems, I don't think it's a bad thing. I love her enough and of course I want to give her the best, and now I happen to have the ability to do so."

"After we get married, I can promise that I will let her do whatever she wants and will never force her to follow my footsteps because of me."

Mother Lu listened to Zhou Qizhen's heartfelt words in silence. The child expressed his feelings without reservation, and she didn't know what to say. Just like Father Lu said before, even ordinary people cannot guarantee that two people will be together until the end.

"Then let me ask you one last question. Does your family know about you two? I mean, if your father knew, would he object?" Normally speaking, wealthy families are not allowed to date ordinary people.

Zhou Qizheng raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this. Xiao Qiao and my sister's daughter are classmates. She used to come to my house often. My father likes Xiao Qiao very much. After we confirmed our relationship, Xiao Qiao even came to my house once."

Mother Lu and Father Lu were stunned after hearing this! How much had this damned child hidden from them? She was so bold as to date her classmate's uncle.

Zhou Qi was observing the reactions of the two old men. Seeing that they no longer objected, he thought of striking while the iron was hot.

"Uncle, aunt, I know your concerns. If you agree, I'd like to settle down with Xiao Qiao after I return. Is that okay with you? I promise I'll never let her suffer any injustice."

Huh? They were just expressing their feelings, how come they're already determined in the blink of an eye?

Father Lu said dryly, "This is a bit too fast! Besides, our parents haven't met each other yet. We should at least sit down and talk in person before we can talk about it."

When Zhou Qizhen heard this, a hint of ecstasy flashed across his eyes. Without any hesitation, he took out his mobile phone and made a video call to Zhou's father in front of the two of them.
