After the real daughter was reborn, the girl who traveled through the book was cannon fodder

Time flies like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, it has quietly arrived, the crucial day of Saturday.

Qin Yunie sat in Qu Qingzhu's car, his hands unconsciously tugging at the corners of his clothes, his face full of tension, and he kept muttering: "How do you feel now? Are all the things ready? Did you forget anything?"

When Qu Qingzhu heard her series of questions, she couldn't help but find it funny. She turned her head and looked at her with eyes full of doting.

While waiting for the red light, he freed one hand and gently patted Qin Yunie's head, as if comforting a frightened animal. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything is ready. I'm the one who's going to meet the parents. Look at you, you're so nervous. If someone didn't know you, they would think you were going to meet the parents."

Qin Yunie raised his chin slightly and glanced at Qu Qingzhu out of the corner of his eye. Although he didn't say anything, he couldn't help but worry in his heart, fearing that there would be even the slightest mistake during the meeting with the parents, which would be terrible.

It was not until Qu Qingzhu confirmed it several times and assured her solemnly that there would be absolutely no problem that she breathed a sigh of relief and her heart finally settled a little.

Qin Yunie took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the complex emotions in his heart that were like a deer jumping for joy, excitement and nervousness. He slowly turned his head and glanced at the scenery flashing outside the window, trying to calm himself down.

The distance from the Plum Garden to the Qin Residence was not short. The scenery outside the car window flashed by like a slide show, but her mind had already drifted to the Qin Residence she was about to arrive at, imagining the various scenarios that might happen when they met.

The car drove steadily for nearly an hour, and finally slowly drove into the courtyard in front of us, which exuded an ancient and solemn atmosphere.

After Qu Qingzhu parked the car steadily, he first took out the gift that had been carefully prepared from the trunk, held it steadily in one hand, and then naturally took Qin Yunie's hand with the other hand. The two smiled at each other and walked towards the yard together.

As soon as I stepped into the house, I heard the servant's enthusiastic voice: "The young lady is back with her boyfriend."

This voice broke the original tranquility of the living room. Several people who were sitting in the living room and chatting casually turned their eyes over when they heard this.

Qu Qingzhu carried a gift in his hand and followed Qin Yunie, walking towards where everyone was.

There were not many people in the living room. There were Qin's parents, who had gentle smiles on their faces and a look of scrutiny and curiosity in their eyes; Qin Yunie's brother Qin Jiangli, who had a calm expression and deep eyes; and old man Qin, who was sitting upright on the sofa. Although he was old, he was in good spirits and exuded an aura of majesty without anger.

After Qu Qingzhu gently placed the gift aside, Qin Yunie took his hand again and slowly approached the crowd. With a gentle smile on her face, she looked at her grandfather and called out softly and affectionately, "Grandpa, Mom, Dad, Brother, this is Qu Qingzhu."

Qu Qingzhu stood aside, looking calm and natural, with just the right smile on his face, and then politely called out one by one: "Grandpa Qin, Uncle and Aunt, Brother Qin, hello, I am Yu Nie's boyfriend Qu Qingzhu."

Old Master Qin looked at the well-matched young couple standing together in front of him, and the smile on his face deepened. He nodded slightly and said in a kind and friendly tone, "You're back." The tone sounded as if Qu Qingzhu was a member of this family. There was no sense of strangeness at all, and it was as natural and casual as greeting one's own family.

Seeing this, Qin Yunie's smile became more obvious, and he also responded with a smile: "I'm back."

She was secretly delighted, thinking that her grandfather really doted on her the most. Looking at his attitude, he already treated Qu Qingzhu as a family member. Then, she looked at her parents and brother with a hint of anticipation, wondering what their first impression of Qu Qingzhu was.

Mother Qin's face was filled with a kind smile, and her eyes revealed her fondness for Qu Qingzhu. She greeted her warmly, "Qingzhu, come and sit down. You must be tired from the journey."

Qu Qingzhu politely responded: "Auntie, I'm not tired, thank you for your concern."

Qin Yunie watched from the side, feeling relieved, and quietly gave Qu Qingzhu an encouraging look, as if to say, "Great job."

Mother Qin looked Qu Qingzhu up and down, nodding her head repeatedly: "This child is really lively and lovable."

As she spoke, she pulled Qu Qingzhu to sit on the sofa and began to ask about his life, from his daily hobbies to his past experiences. Qu Qingzhu answered them one by one seriously, his words showing sincerity and humility, which made Qin's mother even more satisfied and she couldn't stop smiling.

Qin Yunie looked at her mother's brilliant smile and felt happy in her heart. The corners of her mouth rose unconsciously. She moved closer to her mother, took her arm and said coquettishly, "Mom, I told you that Qingzhu is a very good person. Do you believe me now?"

Mother Qin smiled and patted her hands gently: "Yes, yes, my daughter's vision is always good."

Father Qin also looked at Qu Qingzhu with a smile and said, "Qingzhu, I heard from Yu Nie that you opened a bar. It's pretty good. Tell me, what do you think about the future prospects of the bar?"

Qu Qingzhu straightened up and answered with a focused expression, "Uncle, I think that although the current bar industry is highly competitive, it also has great room for development. I plan to maintain our existing characteristics while continuously innovating and offering more personalized services and activities to attract a wider range of customers. For example, I'll regularly host theme parties and invite well-known DJs. I'll also focus on the quality and variety of drinks to meet the diverse needs of our customers. Furthermore, I'm considering using online platforms for promotion to expand the bar's visibility and influence."

Qin Yunie listened attentively, his eyes full of pride, and added at the right moment: "Dad, Qingzhu's bar is very popular now. Many customers praise the good atmosphere. It's always very lively every time I go there."

Father Qin glanced at his daughter with a smile, then looked at Qu Qingzhu and nodded thoughtfully, "Well, your idea is very good. You have a plan and goals. However, the market is changing rapidly now, so you must be prepared to face various challenges at any time."

Qu Qingzhu nodded quickly: "Uncle, you are right. I will always pay attention to market trends, constantly adjust the business strategy, and strive to make the bar develop better."

Father Qin smiled in approval, "Okay, it's a good thing for young people to be motivated. I believe you can run the bar well."

At this time, Qin Jiangli, who had been sitting beside him, looked at Qu Qingzhu with a scrutinizing look in his eyes. He said, "Qu Qingzhu, I want to ask you, how much do you know about my sister's preferences?"

Qu Qingzhu was slightly taken aback, then smiled confidently: "Brother Qin, I know Yu Nie likes watching movies. She is interested in all kinds of movies, especially art films. She also likes traveling and enjoys exploring different places. In her free time, she also likes to listen to music, preferring soft and soothing melodies. Whenever she eats delicious desserts, she looks so happy like a little child, so adorable."

Qin Yunie listened to Qu Qingzhu talking about his hobbies like a treasure, and her cheeks flushed slightly. She was deeply touched and gave him a reproachful look: "You are the only one who knows so much."

After hearing this, Qin Jiangli's expression softened slightly. "Well, it seems you've put some effort into getting to know her. However, my sister is a movie queen, and the nature of her job requires her to travel frequently for business trips and filming. You two are rarely together, so what are your thoughts on this?"

Qu Qingzhu looked at Qin Jiangli seriously and said firmly, "Brother, I understand Yu Nie's work. She has achieved such great results in her career, and I am proud of her. Although it may be difficult to be together less and apart more, I believe that as long as we understand and support each other and our hearts are together, distance is not a problem. I will silently support her when she is busy, and when she is free, we will enjoy our time together. Moreover, I will work hard to manage my own career so that we can both shine in our respective fields, and our future will be brighter."

Qin Yunie's eyes were slightly red. She held Qu Qingzhu's hand tightly and said in a choked voice: "Qingzhu, thank you for understanding me."

Qin Jiangli looked at his sister's appearance, then looked at Qu Qingzhu, nodded slightly, and a glint of approval flashed in his eyes: "Well, I hope you can do what you said. My sister is the treasure of our family, and we all hope that she can be happy."

Qu Qingzhu quickly said, "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely treat Yu Nie well and make her happy."

Old Master Qin had been listening quietly by the side, a pleased smile on his face. He looked at the scene before him with great satisfaction: "Alright, alright, everyone, don't be so serious. Qingzhu is a good kid, I like him. Today is a happy day, everyone should be happy."

After hearing this, everyone nodded, and the atmosphere became relaxed and cheerful.

Mother Qin took Qu Qingzhu's hand and said warmly, "Qingzhu, from now on, treat this place as your own home. Don't be polite. If you want anything to eat or drink, just tell your aunt."

Qu Qingzhu said gratefully, "Thank you, Auntie. I will."

Next, the family sat together, talking and laughing, just like a real family, and a warm atmosphere filled the entire living room.

Qin Yunie leaned on Qu Qingzhu's shoulder, a happy smile on her face, feeling this rare and wonderful time together.

Everyone was chatting animatedly, and the atmosphere in the living room was becoming increasingly harmonious. At this moment, the butler respectfully walked to the center of the living room, bowed slightly, and with a perfectly appropriate smile on his face, he said softly, "Master, Madam, young masters and young ladies, the food is ready, you may take your seats."

Old Master Qin stood up with a smile and said in full energy, "Okay, let's eat and talk at the same time. Let's go." After that, he took the lead and walked towards the restaurant with a steady pace, exuding a sense of majesty and friendliness.

Everyone stood up. Mother Qin walked over to Qu Qingzhu with a smile on her face and took his arm affectionately, as if she were treating her own child. She said, "Qingzhu, today you must try the dishes that Auntie personally ordered the kitchen to prepare. They are all her specialties. See if they suit your taste."

Qu Qingzhu quickly responded, her face full of gratitude: "Auntie, you are so kind. They must be delicious. I am already looking forward to it."

As soon as you enter the restaurant, the long dining table comes into view. The table is already filled with a variety of delicious dishes. The exquisite tableware sparkles with a soft luster under the light, and is dotted with flowers, exuding a faint fragrance. The whole dining environment looks elegant and warm.

Mother Qin pulled Qu Qingzhu to sit next to her and thoughtfully helped him set the table. As she did so, she said, "Qingzhu, don't be restrained. Just like you're at home. Eat more."

Qu Qingzhu nodded repeatedly: "Auntie, you're so worried, I will definitely eat more."

After everyone was seated, Father Qin looked at Qu Qingzhu with a gentle smile on his face. He opened the conversation again and asked, "Qingzhu, we just talked about the general direction of the bar. Now I'm curious, in the process of running the bar, have you encountered any difficult competitors? How did you deal with them?"

Qu Qingzhu put down his chopsticks, which were about to pick up a dish, thought for a moment, and answered seriously, "Uncle, I have indeed encountered some very competitive competitors. There's a bar not far from me. When it first opened, it often held low-price promotions, which attracted a lot of customers. I carefully analyzed the advantages of my bar at that time. We have always strictly controlled the quality of our drinks, our bartenders are experienced and very creative, and we create a unique atmosphere. So I focused on quality and distinctive service. I held tasting sessions, invited old customers to bring new friends to experience it, and cooperated with some well-known wine merchants to launch exclusive special blends. Gradually, I stabilized my customer base and won the recognition of many new customers."

Father Qin listened and nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of appreciation: "Well, this is a very wise approach. Doing business is about finding your own advantages and creating differentiation."

Qin Jiangli sat aside, seemingly eating casually, but in fact he was observing Qu Qingzhu's every move quietly.

At the dinner table, Qu Qingzhu was always paying attention to Qin Yunie's preferences. He would first put her favorite dishes in front of her and gently ask her if she wanted more soup. Every move he made was full of meticulous care.

Qin Jiangli saw this scene and nodded secretly, thinking to himself: This boy is really sincere to his sister and can take care of every detail. He seems to be reliable.

Old Master Qin sat in the main seat, taking in all of this. His smile deepened, filled with relief and satisfaction. He couldn't help but say, "Today's meal was truly enjoyable. The more I see Qingzhu, the more satisfied I am with her. She's polite, thoughtful, and she cares so much about our Yunie. She's wonderful."

After hearing what the old man said, everyone started laughing in unison. Mother Qin even smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits. She said, "That's right, the first time I saw Qingzhu, I felt that this child was destined to be with our family. After chatting with her today, I feel even more that I made the right choice."

Qin Yunie was so happy in her heart that she looked at Qu Qingzhu with eyes full of happiness and sweetness. She quietly held his hand under the table and squeezed it gently, as if to convey her joy and gratitude.

Qu Qingzhu felt her little movement and turned around. The two smiled at each other. That smile was full of love for each other and also full of joy for being accepted by this warm family.

The meal was held in such a relaxed and happy atmosphere full of laughter. The process of meeting the parents was perfect, as if it had paved a sunny and happy road for the future of Qu Qingzhu and Qin Yunie.
