9. See parents
This unexpected meeting with the parents was much simpler than expected, but it also indirectly let Xia Chu know how much Qiao Yusen's status in the Qiao family was...... Very little.
Qiao Lao was sitting on the sofa in the living room and Qiao Mingyu was talking about something, even if Xia Chu didn't hear the content clearly, he could see from his expression that the atmosphere was very good, just in Qiao Mingyu's eyes, and Qiao Lao also found out that the two of them suddenly fell into the freezing point.
At least that's what Xia Chu thought, she was stunned for a while, unable to advance or retreat, but Qiao Yusen beside her was very calm, and bumped her with his elbow:
"What's wrong?"
At the beginning of the summer, he quickly adjusted his condition, although the smile still looked a little far-fetched:
"When I met my parents for the first time, I was inevitably a little nervous."
Qiao Yusen nodded, his eyes turned between Qiao Mingyu and Xia Chu without speaking, and when he was about to take the lead in the living room, he paused beside her, and kindly reminded: "They won't care, just be yourself." ”
Although the words were comforting herself, they didn't play a big role in Xia Chu, she secretly adjusted her breathing, followed Qiao Yusen's footsteps, and put all the gifts on the low table in the living room.
"Father, this is the beginning of summer, my wife."
Xia Chu shouted 'Dad' very worriedly, but didn't get any response, Qiao Lao just looked at her, looking up and down, slowly and carefully making Xia Chu feel that he was going to turn around and let him also look at his back, of course, she wouldn't do that, Qiao Lao naturally wouldn't make such a request, after retracting his gaze, he said lightly:
"Sit down."
Xia Chu glanced at Qiao Yusen, sat down with him, and didn't look at Qiao Mingyu.
Qiao Mingyu leaned comfortably in the back of the chair, supported his chin with one hand, and stroked it for a while, but his eyes seemed to be nailed to Xia Chu's body, as if he was smiling but not smiling, making it difficult for people not to pay attention.
But Xia Chu didn't go to see him, sitting quietly beside Qiao Yusen, looking like a docile little sheep, but Qiao Mingyu had seen her whole body guarded like a hedgehog just a few hours ago, which made him feel interesting, especially since she was still Qiao Yusen's new wife at this time.
Qiao Lao didn't ask many of the questions that he expected to be asked at the beginning of the summer, not even a single question, but just told her and Qiao Yusen in a commanding tone:
"Since I am married, I am a member of the Qiao family, I will not allow the people of the Qiao family to still live outside, move here as soon as possible."
This request was unexpected at the beginning of the summer, because in her imagination, it was impossible to live in Qiao's house after getting married, her mother needed to be taken care of, even if there was a nanny, she was not at ease and reluctant, she thought that Qiao Yusen's status at home made him not want to stay in this house for a long time, but now he was quiet, without any intention to speak.
"Dad, I want to go out with Yusen after marriage, after all, my job is ......"
Before Xia Chu's words were finished, he was interrupted by Qiao Lao, and snorted coldly:
"Miss Xia, what I said just now was to inform you, not to discuss with you, please recognize this."
Xia Chu wanted to continue to say something, but Qiao Lao had already stood up from the sofa impatiently: "Mingyu, tell Mama Li that you can eat." ”
Qiao Mingyu looked at Xia Chu and raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Got it." ”
There were only two people left in the living room, Xia Chu and Qiao Yusen, at this time, Xia Chu had long since lost the nervousness and apprehension when she first came in, only the anger full of forbearance, but she didn't want to show it in front of Qiao Yusen, his position in this family was embarrassing enough, Xia Chu didn't want her appearance to bring him any burden, that would not be her intention.
She exhaled deeply, adjusted her breathing, put on a full smile again, and turned her head to look at Qiao Yusen:
"Let's go eat."
Jo Yusen smiled at her:
"Still have an appetite?"
"Of course."
"You should have told me earlier what you planned to live after marriage."
Xia Chu felt that he really blamed himself for not communicating with him in advance, but looking back, he didn't think there was anything to care about, because no matter where she lived, she would still marry Qiao Yusen:
"It's okay, I just think it's better for two people."
"It's okay to live in Qiao's house?"
Xia Chu hesitated for a moment and nodded:
"It's okay, but I guess I'll come back a little later every night, and I'm going to see my mother."
If Qiao's family were a normal family, Xia Chu would even consider communicating with Qiao Yusen to let his mother move in, but then thinking about it, if it was a normal family, then this series of problems would not exist at all, and this would not be constructive at all.
