Who is talking bad about me behind my back
Yang Qi muttered to himself, he didn't know yet that he had been put on the spot.
"Nothing was wrong, right?" Yang Qi asked in a low voice as he looked at Zhao Yixin who had returned.
"Of course not. Don't you see who I am?" Zhao Yixin said with pride, but she forcibly changed the old lady she mentioned to this girl.
Looking at Zhao Yixin's confident look, Yang Qi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If he was exposed, he really didn't know what to do.
"Accompany me to meet my grandma, but let me tell you in advance that my mom found a blind date for me and my grandma likes him very much." Zhao Yixin said.
Found a blind date
The corner of Yang Qi's mouth twitched fiercely. Were Zhao Yixin's family members afraid that she wouldn't be able to get married, or were they simply distrusting her? She had clearly told her family that she had a boyfriend, and her family even found a blind date for her.
"Congratulations, you have an extra task, drive that kid away." Zhao Yixin said viciously.
"Ahem~" Yang Qi coughed, feeling speechless. He was clearly just pretending to be her boyfriend, but now he had the added task of driving away his love rival.
However, Yang Qi also knew that he was now playing the role of Zhao Yixin's boyfriend, and this blind date partner was hostile to him.
"Xinxin, you're back, come to grandma." As soon as they entered the living room, the birthday girl said with a smile on her face.
"Who is this, Xinxin?" The middle-aged woman who was chatting with the old man looked at Yang Qi and asked.
"Aunt, this is Yang Qi, my boyfriend." Zhao Yixin said hurriedly.
Boy friend
After saying this, the old man looked at Yang Qi and nodded slightly.
"Hello, grandma." Yang Qi said quickly.
After not seeing each other for half a year, the old man's memory was not very good. He asked Zhao Yixin a lot of questions, but left Yang Qi aside. It was Zhao Yixin's aunt who would occasionally interject and ask about Yang Qi's situation, which made the situation not too awkward.
Although he had known for a long time that the old man liked Zhao Yixin's blind date very much, this kind of relief was still somewhat beyond Yang Qi's expectations.
Fortunately, it was getting dark outside, and more and more guests came, including many of the old man's relatives and friends from his youth. Only then did Yang Qi and Zhao Yixin escape from the living room.
"Yang Qi, don't be angry. My grandma is like this. Grandpa passed away early, and she took care of the family all by herself." Zhao Yixin said apologetically. This time she asked Yang Qi to pretend to be her boyfriend, but she didn't expect to encounter such a thing. She couldn't help feeling embarrassed.
"It's okay. If the old man likes it, he likes it. If he doesn't like it, he doesn't like it." Yang Qi said with a smile. Although the scene just now was a bit awkward, Yang Qi didn't care too much.
Speaking of which, Yang Qi's grandparents had passed away when he was in high school. When he saw the old people, Yang Qi was still very happy.
Hearing Yang Qi say this, Zhao Yixin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As more and more guests came, the courtyard became lively.
Birthday banquets in rural areas are different from those in cities. In rural areas, birthday banquets start one day in advance, from the evening of the previous day, including the birthday banquet at noon and the thank-you banquet in the evening of the next day, a total of three meals. For funerals, it is the evening of the previous day and the next morning, and for weddings, it is the evening of the previous day and three meals on the next day.
Rich families usually hold dinner parties, just like Mr. Qin’s birthday party, which was held in the evening, while ordinary birthday parties are held at noon on the same day.
Yang Qi himself is a rural person, so he is naturally very familiar with such customs.
"That guy is here." At this moment, Zhao Yixin on the side suddenly spoke.
Yang Qi was stunned and looked in the direction Zhao Yixin was looking. He saw a young man in a white shirt appeared in the courtyard. He immediately realized that this man was the blind date that Zhao Yixin's family had arranged for her.
"It's up to you from now on." Zhao Yixin looked at Yang Qi and said.
"I'll try my best." Yang Qi smiled bitterly. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing. Whether it was Luo Rong in the past or Shen Yuxuan now, he had never met a rival in love.
The two returned to the first floor. The young man in the shirt had already come to the living room and was chatting with Zhao Yixin's grandmother. The old woman had a smile on her face and looked very happy.
"Xinxin, come here quickly, this is Chen Kang." The old man spoke quickly when he saw Zhao Yixin.
Seeing this, Zhao Yixin hurriedly took Yang Qi's hand. Yang Qi wanted to pull it back, but she glared at him fiercely.
"Oh my god, this is asking me to force hatred."
Yang Qi smiled bitterly in his heart. With Zhao Yixin holding his hand like this, even if Chen Kang was a fool, he could see the relationship between Zhao Yixin and him.
When the old man saw this scene, a hint of displeasure flashed across his brows, but he didn't say much.
As Yang Qi expected, the smile on the man's face froze when he saw Yang Qi and the others, and he immediately said, "This gentleman is..."
"This is me..."
"This is Xinxin's friend." Zhao Yixin was about to speak, but the old man spoke first.
If Zhao Yixin said that Yang Qi was her boyfriend, then there would be no room for maneuver and no chance for this matter. Although they were boyfriend and girlfriend, as long as the old man did not formally admit it, Chen Kang still had a chance!
After hearing the old man's words, Chen Kang's expression looked better. Although everyone could see the relationship between Zhao Yixin and Yang Qi, the old man's words showed that in his heart, he did not really recognize Yang Qi.
In this era, Chen Kang wouldn’t care even if he had a boyfriend as long as he wasn’t married. He was confident that he had good enough conditions and as long as he worked hard, he would win the girl’s heart sooner or later.
"Hello, Chen Kang." The young man in the shirt looked at Yang Qi.
"Hello, Yang Qi." Yang Qi nodded slightly.
"Xinxin, Chen Kang is a doctor at the Municipal Hospital. Speaking of which, he will be transferred to Qingzhou in a while. You can chat more with him then." The old man said with a smile.
In the eyes of the older generation, doctors and civil servants are people with stable jobs, and they work in a municipal hospital. No wonder the elderly like Chen Kang so much.
Even Yang Qi's parents asked him to choose a medical major when he was choosing a major in college. However, Yang Qi was a liberal arts student and there were not many medical majors for him to choose from. Later, his parents asked him to take the civil service exam, one of the reasons being this.
"I wonder where Mr. Yang is working?" The young man in the shirt looked at Yang Qi with a smile.
"I don't dare to take the title of Gao. Now I work as a consultant for Shen's Jewelry, and I also opened a small shop." Yang Qi said lightly. This was true. The jade shop was indeed a small shop, and there were only about twenty people in total.
Opened your own shop
Zhao Yixin was slightly stunned. She only knew that Yang Qi was a consultant for Shen's Jewelry, but she didn't know that Yang Qi had opened his own shop. However, she didn't refute what Yang Qi said. After all, the better Yang Qi performed, the greater his chance of defeating Chen Kang. (To be continued)
