208: Visiting the Xu family
During these few days of the Spring Festival, Chen Qiu didn't go anywhere.
Every day, he just set off firecrackers at home and chatted with Chen Xiang and the others.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Qiu prepared to go to Xu Jia's home for a meal.
"Mom, I won't be home for lunch."
"Oh, okay... wait, since you're going to someone's house, take this with you!"
Luo Jinglan brought several boxes of New Year's gifts from the room and placed them in Chen Qiu's car.
"Anyway, they'll just expire if they pile up at home."
Watching Chen Qiu leave, Chen Zhide walked out of the house and asked curiously.
"Whose home is our son going to as a guest?"
"Xu Jia's. She invited him personally!"
Hearing Luo Jinglan's slightly rising tone, Chen Zhide raised an eyebrow and spoke in surprise.
"Is our son dating that girl?"
"Then shouldn't we go together and meet her parents?"
"Meet what? It's still too early for that!"
Luo Jinglan lightly slapped Chen Zhide.
"Our son lent her two hundred thousand yuan before. The girl is just thanking him..."
"But, I think Xu Jia is quite virtuous. She definitely has a good impression of our son, and she's from the neighboring village. There's an eighty percent chance something will happen!"
Chen Zhide said somewhat excitedly.
During the Housewarming Banquet last time, Xu Jia helped a lot, so he was quite satisfied with this girl.
"Then what about Teacher Yan?"
At this moment, Luo Jinglan's words reached Chen Zhide's ears, and he froze instantly.
Luo Jinglan spoke with some hesitation.
"Teacher Yan is also very good. She has the air of a well-bred young lady. Standing next to our son, they look like a model couple!"
Hearing this, Chen Zhide's thoughts began to waver as well.
Yan Baiwei's family background was much better than Xu Jia's. Her father, Yan Li, had drunk quite a bit with him before. He was meticulous in his dealings and very pleasant to be around.
"Teacher Yan really does suit our son quite well..."
Chen Zhide fell into a dilemma.
"If only our son could marry both..."
Hearing Luo Jinglan's sighing tone, Chen Zhide said with exasperation.
"What are you thinking!"
"But, since our son already has two potential candidates, should we still find him a matchmaking date?"
As soon as Chen Zhide finished speaking, Luo Jinglan said resolutely.
"Of course we should!"
"They aren't officially with our son yet!"
"And besides, there are many more outstanding girls out there!"
Chen Zhide opened his mouth.
These two already have us so conflicted. If a few more outstanding ones appear, wouldn't we be spoiled for choice?
Surely we can't really let our son marry them all, right?
...Chen Qiu drove the horch to Xu Jia's home.
Ever since Xu Jia and Xu Yi, the two sisters, took turns driving the mercedes-benz and BMW home, the neighbors went from being shocked and gossiping behind their backs about whether the Xu sisters were being kept.
To now silently accepting it, and even starting to curry favor with the Xu sisters!
After all, whether they were being kept or not, they didn't know. But now, Xu Jia was the genuine boss of a company, driving a BMW worth several hundred thousand yuan!
If her company grew even bigger, establishing a good relationship early might even help them arrange jobs for their own disappointing children!
Today, a brand-new Audi stopped at the entrance of Xu Jia's home, and the surrounding neighbors all looked over curiously.
Seeing the handsome young man getting out of the car, they were all startled.
"Could this be one of the two sisters' boyfriend?"
"What boyfriend? Look at the license plate..."
"What about the license plate?"
"That's Chen Qiu from the neighboring village!"
"The billionaire who helped Xu Jia and started the company with her!"
"Gasp, so that's Chen Qiu. Not only is he rich, but he's also so handsome?!"
As soon as Chen Qiu arrived, Xu Yi quickly came out of the house.
"Brother Chen Qiu!"
"Happy New Year!"
She greeted him with a beaming smile and took the gifts from his hands.
"Where's your sister?"
"In the kitchen!"
Chen Qiu looked startled.
"She's not really going to cook, is she?"
Seeing Chen Qiu's somewhat shocked expression, Xu Yi covered her mouth and laughed.
"Brother Chen Qiu, don't worry!"
She stood on her tiptoes and whispered playfully into Chen Qiu's ear.
"She tried cooking a dish herself a couple of days ago. My mom took one bite and stopped her from entering the kitchen, saying it was a bit much to feed guests pig slop during the New Year..."
Chen Qiu also laughed out loud.
At that moment, Xu Jia walked out of the kitchen, startling Xu Yi, who quickly took a step back.
"Are you talking about me behind my back?"
"No, Yiyi was telling me how to tell which dishes you cooked later!"
Hearing this, Xu Jia immediately felt that her sister, who was siding with an outsider, must have been spilling her embarrassing secrets in front of Chen Qiu.
She glared fiercely at Xu Yi.
The latter stuck out her tongue slightly and left with the gifts.
Only then did Xu Jia turn to Chen Qiu and say.
"I'm not cooking today. You won't have the fortune of tasting my dishes."
"What a pity!"
Chen Qiu said with a smile.
At that moment, Xu Yi pushed her father, Xu Changyao, out of the house.
Their mother, Lin Fang, also came out of the kitchen upon hearing the commotion.
"Hello, Uncle Xu, Auntie Lin. I'm Chen Qiu."
Chen Qiu quickly greeted them.
Supported by Xu Yi, Xu Changyao stood up and shook Chen Qiu's hand.
"Hello, President Chen."
"You are the benefactor of my two daughters. I really don't know how to thank you..."
