27: Is meeting the parents a bit too fast?

“Yu Yu, your eyes are good, quickly help Auntie take a look.”

“Is the person driving that pink car a girl?”

Luo Jinglan craned her neck, asking with a hint of curiosity.

Luo Yu narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly and looked closely.

“Hmm... it’s a girl.”

“And she seems quite pretty!”

Hearing Luo Yu’s words, Luo Jinglan’s eyes instantly lit up.

They were filled with the blazing fire of gossip.

“Heh, this brat, he’s finally wised up.”

“He even learned to hide a beauty, secretly stashing her away...”

Chen Zhide, standing nearby, frowned.

He looked at his wife helplessly.

“Didn’t our son say he had something to do?”

“Why are you already worrying?”

Luo Jinglan immediately glared at him.

“What, is it wrong for me to worry about my son?”

“Don’t you want my son to find a partner early?”

Chen Zhide was helpless.

“That’s not what I meant...”

“How can it be the same thing...”

“Besides, if our son really has someone he likes, then... will he still go on blind dates later?”

“Yes!”

“Of course, he will!”

Luo Jinglan said decisively.

“It looks like nothing is set in stone yet.”

“What if, after dating for a while, it falls apart?”

“Look at a few more, choose a few more, there’s no harm in that!”

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something else.

She sternly instructed Chen Zhide and Luo Yu.

“Oh, right, you two absolutely must not spread the word about these two houses today!”

“Especially you, Yu Yu, don’t tell your mom when you go back!”

“Your mom has the biggest mouth!”

“Otherwise, if this gets out, who knows how many ridiculous rumors will spread in the village!”

“This... can this even be kept a secret?”

Chen Zhide was a bit displeased.

“What, my son made money, got rich, and he has to be secretive about it?”

“Don’t go advertising it everywhere!”

“Do you think it’s a good thing for others to know our family has made so much money?”

Luo Jinglan said grumpily.

Everyone is from the same village, always seeing each other.

Drinking water from the same well, eating grain from the same village head, growing up together.

If your family makes a little money, others will at most be envious and jealous behind your back for a few words.

But if people know your family has made a lot of money.

Who knows how many demons and monsters will be attracted!

Those coming to borrow money are the most basic.

All sorts of moral blackmail.

Distant relatives, whom you barely know, coming to ask for help.

How annoying would that be?

Luo Yu, standing by, nodded in agreement.

However, she secretly thought to herself.

Someone as outstanding as her cousin definitely couldn’t be hidden!

...Chen Qiu opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat of the wuling mini.

A familiar, elegant fragrance wafted into his nostrils.

It was refreshing and invigorating.

He turned his head to look at Xu Jia beside him.

She was still dressed in her capable OL Professional Attire.

A black women’s suit, a white shirt.

Extremely pleasing to the eye.

Noticing Chen Qiu’s undisguised gaze wandering over her.

Xu Jia inexplicably felt a little nervous.

She didn’t dare to meet Chen Qiu’s eyes, so she could only look straight ahead and forcibly find a topic.

“You... you’re buying a house in Boyue Mansion?”

“Hmm, not buying.”

“It’s already bought!”

Chen Qiu pointed out the window.

“See, it’s that one.”

Following the direction of Chen Qiu’s finger.

Xu Jia’s mouth slightly opened, unable to close again.

Even the smallest detached villa in Boyue Mansion must cost several million, right?

He just... bought it just like that?

And... she remembered that the over ten million yuan in Chen Qiu’s bank card earlier hadn’t been touched at all.

This meant.

That over ten million yuan was likely only a part of Chen Qiu’s total cash assets!

That’s right.

Which truly wealthy person would foolishly put all their money into one bank card?

At this moment.

Xu Jia, whose beautiful eyes were still filled with shock, saw the three people standing at the entrance of the villa.

She had been to Chen Qiu’s house in junior high.

Naturally, she had also met Luo Jinglan and Chen Zhide.

More than ten years had passed, and although both had aged considerably.

Xu Jia still vaguely recognized them at a glance.

“Are those... Uncle and Auntie?”

“Yes.”

Chen Qiu nodded.

He suddenly vaguely noticed.

Xu Jia beside him subconsciously straightened her slender waist.

Her body seemed to have tensed up even more?

“I... should I go down and say hello?”

Xu Jia asked somewhat stammering.

Seeing Xu Jia’s nervous expression, Chen Qiu was amused.

He said teasingly.

“Tell me, Manager Xu.”

“We just confirmed assets today, and now we’re directly meeting the parents.”

“Isn’t that a bit too fast?”

“What?!”

Xu Jia was slightly stunned.

Immediately, a faint blush spread across her pure and pretty face.

“Wh-what meeting the parents!”

“I’m here to discuss business with you! Don’t talk nonsense!”

“Is that so?”

Chen Qiu drew out his words.

“Looking at how shy and hesitant you were just now.”

“If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were here to meet your future in-laws!”

“You!”

Xu Jia, somewhat annoyed, rolled her eyes at Chen Qiu.

But after this teasing.

The nervousness and restraint Xu Jia had felt earlier due to Chen Qiu’s status as a “multi-millionaire”.

It was indeed diluted quite a bit.

However.

With the detached villa in Boyue Mansion laid bare before her.

Xu Jia’s understanding of Chen Qiu’s assets deepened even further.

Able to casually buy a villa worth several million.

And casually have tens of millions in cash lying in his bank account.

According to Xu Jia’s understanding of her wealthy clients’ asset allocations, she predicted.

Chen Qiu’s total net worth was at least tens of millions!

A person with a net worth of tens of millions.

Could definitely be called wealthy in Gannan.

And Chen Qiu, possessing such a fortune, could still joke with her, his old classmate, as before.

He even proactively broke through her sense of restraint caused by the difference in their statuses.

This touched Xu Jia somewhat.

One must know.

Many poor people, after suddenly becoming rich, have their values distorted by the sudden influx of money.

Among them, the most common situations Xu Jia had seen and heard of.

Were using money to oppress, using power to suppress.

Just wanting to see their old acquaintances grovel before them.

Chen Qiu’s behavior, on the other hand, was truly rare and commendable.

This made Xu Jia feel a lot of goodwill towards him.

Her eyes shifted.

Her gaze rested on Chen Qiu’s handsome profile, which carried a faint smile.

Her heart, inexplicably, beat a few times faster.

“Smooth-talker.”

“Who knows how many girls he’s deceived out there.”

She withdrew her gaze, her red lips moving slightly, muttering softly.

“Are you saying that someone whose ex-girlfriend dumped him right after she got a stable job can still deceive girls?”

Chen Qiu spread his hands, indicating his innocence.

When he was in college, quite a few girls pursued him.

But back then, he was steadfastly devoted to the belief of 'one person for one lifetime'!

The result, however... “Hmph.”

“If your ex-girlfriend knew about your current situation.”

“I guarantee, she’d be green with regret!”

Xu Jia said with an utterly certain tone.

With that, she started the car and drove out of Boyue Mansion.

“Let’s find a place to sit down and talk in detail.”

“Where to, a coffee shop?”

Xu Jia glanced at Chen Qiu from the corner of her eye.

“Let’s go to the Audi 4S store!”

“Huh?”

Xu Jia didn’t quite follow Chen Qiu’s train of thought at first.

“First, accompany me to pick up a car!”
