9. Chapter VIII
That night, I called Qin Yan on the rooftop and mentioned that my father wanted the two families to find time to come out and meet, and after listening to it, he said, "Okay, I'll arrange it." ”
I was silent for a moment and asked him, "So you have already told my dad, have you also mentioned it to your parents?" ”
"They know," he said. ”
I hesitated, "Then what is the attitude of your parents?" ”
He was silent for a few seconds, as if chuckling: "You know, they like you very much." And he said, "However, you don't have to care about other people's opinions, after all, this is my business and yours." ”
I pondered his words, was quiet for a few seconds, and Qin Yan said, "Rest early, good night." ”
I couldn't react to the "um" sound, he hung up the phone, I listened to the busy voice regret that I didn't have time to say goodnight to him, but after thinking about it, there are still many opportunities to talk to him in the future, and I will talk to him a few more times every night in the future, and my heart is suddenly relieved.
The meeting between the two parents was finally scheduled for the weekend two days later, and the word "meeting" was used because the whole scene was so pompous. Originally, it was just said that the two families had afternoon tea together, but the Qin family chartered a clubhouse, which was originally the palace of a certain prince in the Qing Dynasty, and it took fifteen minutes to walk from the gate to the central hall.
The Qin family arrived earlier than us, and a young lady in a cheongsam led us all the way to the backyard, and a rosewood long table was placed under the pear tree full of pink and white petals, which could seat six people, and the Qin family also deliberately gave up the main seat.
I was arranged to sit next to Qin Yan, and when they were gossiping, he would sit there quietly except for adding me tea from time to time, letting the sunlight that penetrated the branches and leaves fall on him little by little.
Speaking of happiness, Qin Yan's mother looked at us for a while, slapped her hands and said, "Actually, Qin Yan also surprised us, after he came back, we also looked for several girls for him, and he gave him a bunch of excuses every time." That day, when he went home for dinner, Qin Ming and I talked about buckwheat, and I said that this girl was both beautiful and knowledgeable, but unfortunately she was almost the same age as Qin Yan, and her father probably couldn't agree. As a result, who knew that Qin Yan suddenly said: "I also think she is good." It left both of us confused. ”
A few people in the audience laughed twice, and I also lowered my head to listen, Chen Qian said: "When buckwheat came to talk to us, we couldn't come back to our senses for a long time. ”
Qin Yan's mother said: "But no, I asked him, what do I mean by this?" As a result, Qin Yan said, if you fall in love with her, I will try to propose marriage. At that time, we were all surprised, I said, why are you hiding so deeply, you have an idea, you should tell us earlier, why waste so much time to meet people who are not interested, isn't it! Speaking of this, she stared at me and smiled: "Buckwheat, Qin Yan refuses to sue me, you tell me honestly, when were you together, when did Qin Yan chase you?" ”
I was stunned, a little dumbfounded for a while, and subconsciously turned my head to look at Qin Yan. He was plucking the tea leaves with the lid of his cup with his eyes down, raised his eyes to look at me, and smiled at his mother idly, and told the lie with ease: "Didn't you see any clues last time at the hot spring villa?" ”
"You're fast!" Qin Yan's mother pointed at him with her finger, and several people laughed, and then heard his mother say: "Okay, the rest of the matter will be left to our family, what do you think."
Qin Yan's father glanced at her and said, "Okay, you still have to be verbose about business matters." ”
Qin Yan's mother rolled her eyes: "Who cares about your business." He looked at me with a smile: "I have a lot to worry about right now." Buckwheat, I heard your dad say that you always go out to paint every once in a while? During this time, I won't go anywhere for now, there are a lot of things to prepare, and you will love to play wherever you want to play during your honeymoon in the future. And you have to take advantage of this time to eat fat, now it's still a little thin, it won't look good in a wedding dress at that time, and girls are too thin to have children in the future, you know? ”
I was stupid for a long time and said, "...... Hehe. Qin Yan turned his face to look at me again, I turned my head to meet his gaze, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, as soon as I was embarrassed, there was some strange feeling in my body, I said, "I'm sorry, I'll miss it first." ”
I stood up and left the table, and before I could take two steps, I heard Qin Yan say, "I'll accompany her." ”
Walking through a corridor to the outside, I felt embarrassed to ask him to accompany me to the bathroom, so I said, "I don't need you to accompany me, you can go back to tea." ”
He said, "It's fine. Gathered his eyebrows: "It's a headache inside." ”
I was stunned, smiled and said, "Your mother is really enthusiastic. ”
He also snorted, "My mother and you have similar personalities, and I thought you would get along well." ”
I said: "But she doesn't need to charter such a big yard, I know this place, ordinary people can't get in even if they have money, and the people who entertain are powerful people with status, but it's just two families talking, and even Chen Qian said that you are too sincere." ”
Qin Yan looked at me and said, "This is what I mean." ”
I looked up at him in surprise: "Huh? ”
He said: "Our marriage has a great impact on both you and me, and from a certain point of view, this is a trade secret that needs to be disclosed to the public at the right time. ”
I was stunned again: "Oh......" shook my head: "I don't know much about this." ”
He said disapprerovingly, "You don't need to understand. ”
I slowed down a little and hesitated, "Really? But I don't know anything but paint, and I probably won't be able to help you in the future. ”
He also slowly stood still, lowered his eyes to look at me, and I confessed: "And I'm not in good health, I have congenital heart disease, which is inherited from my mother." When I was a child, I was stricter, and when I grew up, I gradually got better. I didn't go on a diet, but I never gained weight. ”
Qin Yan looked at me and was silent for a few seconds: "What else?" ”
I thought for a moment and said, "There should be nothing else, but my dad always says that I am a loser, because I always can't help but buy beautiful paintings and works of art when I see them, and I don't have any restraint at all." ”
He pondered for a moment and said calmly, "I can accept what you say. Isn't there such a saying, the husband is to pay the bill upside down, and I should naturally afford what you want, and I can afford it. You are not in good health, and I said I would take care of you. You don't know anything about business, and I'm not as proficient in art as you are, but I don't think that would be so harsh that it would hinder our life together. Buckwheat, none of this is a big deal. ”
I looked at Qin Yan, the white pear blossom pressed the flower branch and was about to hang down to his ear, his eyebrows were light, and his beautiful eyebrows and eyelashes were dotted with bright spots, I used to think that Van Gogh's "Blooming Pear Blossom" was the most beautiful pear blossom I had ever seen, but it was far less than one-tenth of my temptation at the moment.
I took out my phone and turned on the camera, but I said, "What, can you please repeat what you just said?" I'd like to record a note for proof. ”
Qin Yan smiled, and I pressed the shooting button in time. Looking at this freeze-frame image, I thought that even if I had a good brush, I would not be able to replace it with such a picture.
Half a month later, the news that the Qin family was going to marry the Li family in the city's business district was known, and the outside world seemed to be a little surprised, but I heard that the Qin family's stock list was not bad in those days, and my father also mentioned it when he was eating at home, he said that the Qin family happened to have a fixed increase merger and acquisition case to land at that time, and Qin Yan chose to release the news at this time, and their shares could be diluted by 40% less than the original.
As for the friends around me, Liao Xiaofei naturally sued her early in the morning, and she had to say that Qin Yan and I got married because she chanted sutras to me at home every day during that time, and moved the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, so there was such a completely unreasonable progress. Before I could refute her, she paused and said, "Oh no, how do I seem to remember that Guanyin Bodhisattva is asking for a son...... You tell me honestly, are you pregnant? Are you married to your sons? I can't believe that what Song Qiwen said last time is true, you really wrapped a bath towel in the middle of the night to seduce people and succeeded? ”
I said regretfully: "This is really not, or you can recite more scriptures for me, maybe I can really get pregnant before I get married, so that the wedding and the full moon wine can be held together hahahahaha!" ”
Liao Xiaofei was silent for a few seconds: "...... Ah Li, you, you, how can you be so shameless! ”
In those days, Lu Zhaochao also called me, saying that he heard a joke, and his original words were like this: "Li Qiao, I just came back from Sumatra yesterday and heard my cousin say that you are going to marry that surnamed Qin?" Haha, what a big joke, how could he marry you? ”
I asked him with a belly full of fire: "Why can't he marry me, am I broken or is it my life?" ”
Lu Zhaochao said: "No, but the one surnamed Qin is eleven years older than you, you are not the same age, you can call him uncle, okay...... No, wait, what do you mean you really want to marry him or what? ”
I pinched the phone and wished that I had a tail that could reach the sky, and I said, "I'm sorry Lu Zhaochao, I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill the thirty-year-old appointment I made with you on the first day of the new year, so you should quickly find a good family to make money, don't wait for me." Also, we have been friends for so many years, and your red envelope can't be too small at that time. ”
There was no sound on the other side of the phone, so I took the phone to my eyes and looked at it, and put it back to my ear: "Hey? Can you hear me? Is there a bad signal over there...... If you can't hear me, I'll hang up first, I'll have to try the wedding suit later. ”
Lu Zhaochao still didn't move over there, and I waited for a while, so I had to cut off the phone.
