Yang Qi nodded with a wry smile. He was very curious about how those friends who rented boyfriends or girlfriends to go home for the New Year dealt with the interrogation of their aunts and uncles.
Just meeting an old lady almost exposed his true colors. You know, this hasn't even reached Zhao Yixin's home yet.
When Yang Qi and Zhao Yixin arrived at the courtyard, they saw several middle-aged men and women chatting with an old man in the living room. The old man was the birthday girl, Zhao Yixin's grandmother.
Grandma Zhao Yixin gave birth to four children, three daughters and one son, which is why Zhao Yixin's family conditions are not very good. There are old people above and young children below, plus Zhao Yixin's son Zhao Xiancai is not in good health, so the family income is poor.
Seeing Zhao Yixin and Yang Qi walking side by side, a middle-aged woman who looked somewhat similar to Zhao Yixin walked over from the side hall.
Houses in the countryside are different from those in the city. They are generally two or three stories high, and not all rooms are bedrooms. Some are used to store things, not for living. This side hall is one of them.
"My child, you're finally back. Just now grandma was nagging you about why you hadn't come back yet. Grandma loves you the most..." the middle-aged woman said as soon as she saw Zhao Yixin.
But before she could finish her words, the middle-aged woman's gaze fell on the arms of Yang Qi and Zhao Yixin.
Yang Qi knew that the middle-aged woman in front of him was Zhao Yixin's mother, Wang Qiuyue, and he immediately became nervous. As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father, and no one knows a daughter better than her mother. Wang Qiuyue, who raised Zhao Yixin, could probably tell from Zhao Yixin's expression whether Yang Qi was her boyfriend.
"Mom, this is Yang Qi, my boyfriend. I brought him here specially for grandma's 80th birthday." As if afraid that Yang Qi would say something wrong, Zhao Yixin hurriedly spoke first.
"Ah, it's Xinxin's friend. Come and sit down, come and sit down." Wang Qiuyue said hurriedly, with a smile on her face as she spoke.
"Yang Qi, please sit for a while. Xinxin and I will go put the things down." Wang Qiuyue pulled Zhao Yixin to the side hall. At this time, the side hall was mainly used to pile up birthday gifts and record the gifts from relatives and friends, which would have to be returned in the future.
"Mom, there is nothing you can't say in front of Yang Qi. He is my boyfriend." Zhao Yixin rolled her eyes at Wang Qiuyue. What about putting things there? That was all fake. You have to know that they are real relatives, and their gifts are to be given out at the birthday banquet tomorrow at noon, not placed directly in the side hall.
Besides, many of the things Zhao Yixin bought were clothes, not gifts from relatives and friends. These gifts must be put away separately. After all, Zhao Yixin has not yet married, she is a family member. Only when Zhao Yixin gets married, the gifts will be put together with the gifts from relatives and friends.
"What's the matter? I was just about to ask you what's going on. Is Yang Qi really your boyfriend?" Wang Qiuyue glared.
"He is really my boyfriend." Zhao Yixin said quickly, lying without blinking, she was the one being talked about.
"This is trouble!" Wang Qiuyue said with a wry smile.
"What's the trouble? Haven't you been planning to meet him?" Zhao Yixin curled her lips. If her family hadn't urged her, would she have asked Yang Qi to pretend to be her boyfriend
"It's not you." Wang Qiuyue looked at Zhao Yixin and said with a wry smile, "Before you said your boyfriend wouldn't come, we thought you didn't have a boyfriend, so we arranged a blind date for you, and that person will come over to celebrate your birthday later."
"Mom, how could you do this?" Zhao Yixin said speechlessly.
"You can't blame us for this? Who told you not to explain clearly?" Wang Qiuyue gave Zhao Yixin a displeased look.
"No one has said it clearly, you are just guessing." Zhao Yixin rolled her eyes, feeling lucky that she had foresight and knew that her family would use this birthday party to arrange a blind date for her. Fortunately, she was smart enough to find Yang Qi to pretend to be her boyfriend, otherwise this birthday party would have turned into a blind date.
"Okay, okay, we were wrong, but they will be here soon, what should we do?" Wang Qiuyue said with a worried look on her face.
The blind date that Zhao Yixin's family arranged for her was one that Wang Qiuyue personally agreed to. If he came over and found out that Zhao Yixin already had a boyfriend, how would he view their family
Isn't this just playing a joke on people
"You brought this upon yourselves, so you should deal with it yourselves." Zhao Yixin said unhappily.
Wang Qiuyue nodded with a wry smile. Zhao Yixin already had a boyfriend who looked pretty good. She naturally couldn't let her daughter dump Yang Qi and go on a blind date arranged by her family. If Yang Qi knew about this, he would definitely feel a little uncomfortable. Anyone would be unhappy if their girlfriend was forced to go on a blind date by her family.
"By the way, what does Yang Qi do?" Wang Qiuyue asked.
Although Yang Qi looks good, since this is related to her daughter's lifelong event, she still needs to get to know Yang Qi well. After all, it is a rare opportunity for him to come home. If she doesn't take this opportunity to get to know him better, it will be even more difficult to get to know him when they return to Qingzhou.
"Yang Qi works as a consultant for Shen's Jewelry, which is the largest jade jeweler in Qingzhou." Zhao Yixin said hurriedly, and added at the end, fearing that Wang Qiuyue didn't know what Shen's Jewelry did.
"Consultant?" Wang Qiuyue was stunned. "Is it the kind of consultant on TV who doesn't do his job?"
"Ahem~" Zhao Yixin coughed lightly and said quickly, "What do you mean by not doing your job? Yang Qi knows a lot about jade, so he became a consultant for Shen's Jewelry. And the Audi outside is his, and he just changed the car a while ago."
Wang Qiuyue couldn't tell the difference between Audi's models and prices, but she knew that the car with four circles connected together was very expensive, and those who could afford such a car were successful people in Han'an County.
Hearing that Yang Qi was even better than she had imagined, Wang Qiuyue couldn't help but nodded inwardly. She was very impressed with her daughter's vision. Even if it was a boyfriend she found, he would not be any worse than the one her family had carefully arranged.
"By the way, have you guys done that?" Wang Qiuyue suddenly asked.
"What, that?" Zhao Yixin was stunned and looked at Wang Qiuyue in confusion.
"It's just that..." Wang Qiuyue opened her mouth but didn't know how to say it.
Seeing Wang Qiuyue's look of difficulty in speaking, Zhao Yixin understood at once. Her pretty face turned red and she nodded slightly.
“Ah… you girl…” Wang Qiuyue looked at her daughter’s shy appearance. She had no idea what was going on and didn’t know what to say for a moment.
"A-choo~" Yang Qi in the yard suddenly sneezed, rubbed his itchy nose, and was a little puzzled in his heart, why did he suddenly sneeze with his cultivation level? (To be continued)
