115: I swiped a bottle of Moutai
In Chen Qiu's view, Kong Ying's parents and younger brother were all quite bizarre.
One was relying on having raised a daughter who was a PhD and a doctor to put her up for the highest bidder, wishing they could earn back all the money they hadn't made in the first half of their lives.
The other was a Spiritual Youth who would even try to mooch off his sister's blind date.
Therefore, Chen Qiu was actually quite curious: what kind of person would Kong Ying be, having grown up in such a family?
However, it seemed that Kong Ying had completely accepted her identity as a commodity.
Upon hearing Chen Qiu's words, her eyes barely flickered as she said indifferently,
"I don't have any thoughts!"
"What my parents and brother just said is pretty much my list of requirements."
There was even a hint of numbness in Kong Ying's tone!
Yes, as far as Kong Ying was concerned, she had long since become numb to all of this.
She was an eight-year-program medical student at Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Sciences.
Based on her academic ability, even if she couldn't stay in Guangzhou after graduation, getting into a Grade-A tertiary hospital would be more than enough.
But her parents were afraid that if she left, she would never come back.
She was forcibly dragged back home by her mother's crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide.
In the end, she only took a job at a Grade-B secondary hospital.
Fortunately, the hospital director took good care of her and even took her on as a student.
At first, they did indeed introduce a few blind dates to her.
Among them was the town mayor in his thirties that her parents had mentioned earlier!
As for whether it was because they were too busy to develop feelings...
Kong Ying clearly remembered that meeting; her parents had come along too.
The other party was very polite, and her parents didn't make any outrageous demands like they did today.
But that was as far as it went!
Her parents still made some requests that were slightly offensive to a civil servant.
Kong Ying tried to salvage the situation repeatedly, but in her parents' eyes, this was an act of siding with an outsider.
After they got back, there was another round of crying and making a scene.
Afterwards, Kong Ying bit the bullet and contacted the person, only to be subtly told that they were not a good match.
It was an expected result, so she wasn't all that heartbroken.
But what she hadn't expected was that her parents had actually become puffed up because of this blind date.
It gradually changed from "My daughter went on a blind date with the mayor" to "I almost became the mayor's father-in-law!"
They even threw their weight around, gaining admiration from some people in the village and town, which greatly satisfied her parents' vanity.
If it had stopped there, it would have been fine.
But ever since then, her parents' standards had become increasingly picky!
The demands they made became more and more outrageous!
She wouldn't let them tag along on blind dates, and her mother would cry and make a scene.
"We've spent half our lives working for you, supporting your studies—do you think it's easy to get a PhD?"
"We make so many demands, isn't it all so you can find a reliable man?"
"Your brother is disobedient, and you don't appreciate us at all. Do we deserve this as parents..."
Every time this happened, Kong Ying felt powerless and her scalp would tingle with dread.
Being soft-natured and introverted by nature, she simply didn't know how to handle it.
So, she could only compromise.
In the past year, she had been on at least a dozen blind dates.
Relying on her looks and profession, most of the men she met, if not outstanding, were basically high-quality men!
There were quite a few that Kong Ying couldn't find any fault with, but they were forcibly scared off by her parents.
Ask yourself, what man would be willing to marry a wife who not only has to help her brother with his life's milestones but also has to support her two elderly parents for him?
Kong Ying felt like she was stuck in a swamp; the more she struggled, the deeper she sank!
She could only watch helplessly as she sank bit by bit.
By now, she had already given up struggling.
She was now completely in a state of giving up.
Let her parents do whatever they wanted; at worst, she just wouldn't get married in this lifetime.
Even, to avoid the man agreeing on an impulse and getting screwed over, she would always agree with her parents' demands.
To scare others away.
Chen Qiu noticed Kong Ying's attitude and was somewhat surprised.
At this moment, the system reward in his mind settled.
【Ding! Matched the requirements of the blind date. You have received 1.28 million in cash, one mercedes-benz AMG GT, two properties in the Chenyue Mansion residential area, and 67% of the shares of Grand Skylight Hotel Management Co., Ltd.!】
Another fruitful day!
Since Kong Ying was subtly revealing an attitude of keeping people at a distance, Chen Qiu naturally wouldn't make a fool of himself by persisting.
"Uncle, Auntie, I'm quite satisfied with Kong Ying."
"However... I have a strange quirk."
"I only buy one item when I shop; I don't like buy-one-get-one-free or buy-one-get-two-free deals."
"Let alone buy-one-get-three-free."
After saying this, Chen Qiu stood up and left the private room.
This was his first time on a blind date where he hadn't even said a few words to the woman, yet his mood was somewhat heavy.
Passing by the counter, he looked at the liquor on it and suddenly stopped.
...
Kong Ning frowned and looked at Chen Qiu's departing back in confusion.
"What buy-one-get-what-free, what kind of nonsense is he talking about?"
"In my opinion, this guy is definitely another scammer!"
As Kong Ning spoke, he didn't notice his parents' slightly darkened expressions.
"I think Ningning is right; he must be a scammer!"
"There are so many people these days who just package themselves up!"
Kong Ying's mother said, trying to comfort him.
Kong Ying's father let out a cold snort.
"A waste of breath!"
"He's from Nankeng Village, right? When I get back, I'm definitely going to have a good talk with their village party secretary!"
"By the way..."
At this moment, looking at the table full of dishes, Kong Ying's father suddenly remembered something.
"Did that kid pay for the meal just now?"
He had a faint, bad premonition in his heart.
He got up, walked to the door of the private room, and asked the waiter; the result he learned made his vision go black.
Not only did Chen Qiu not pay, but he had also taken a bottle of liquor worth over a thousand on his way out.
"This bastard, does he have any shame at all!"
Kong Ying's father roared in uncontrollable rage.
Ever since his daughter became successful, it had always been the young men who paid the bill!
This was the first time he had been fleeced by a young person!
"When I get back, I'm definitely going to Nankeng Village to demand an explanation!"
Kong Ying's father was so angry that his face turned red.
And Kong Ying, who was sitting to the side, saw this moment of her father getting thwarted, and a strange sense of relief unexpectedly welled up in her heart.
She lowered her head, took out her phone, and sent a message to Chen Qiu.
"Hahahaha, why did you swipe a bottle of liquor on your way out!"
"My dad is furious."
On the other side.
Chen Qiu was somewhat stunned after receiving the message.
This lively and cheerful tone didn't seem like the Kong Ying he had just seen.
"Be careful, my dad said he's going to go to your village party secretary to report you."
Immediately after, Kong Ying sent another message.
Chen Qiu smiled.
Report me?
Just because they raised a good daughter, they really think they're something special?
