Chapter 59: Meeting the Parents

  Remember in one second, wonderful internet for free!

  Ji Siyuan knew that the Qiao family was doomed, so she could only fight back actively. Before going to the Qiao's house, she returned home and went back and forth in the study for half a day. Then, she poked her head out and asked, "Mom, which of these paintings by my dad is more valuable?"

  Empress Shen was calmly painting by the window, gave her a condescending glance and said, "What do you want to do?"

  Ji Siyuan hesitated and didn't know which one was better, so she honestly replied, "Take them to Ge You's grandfather and father."

  “……”

  Empress Shen raised an eyebrow in disdain, but still lifted her hand and pointed twice. Ji Siyu immediately wrapped it up with joy.

  Later, when Ji Si Xuan went to see Qiao's elder, she used the method taught by Qiao Yu to make tea for Le Zhun. Le Zhun, who was accustomed to wind and rain, was stunned on the spot. Ji Si Xuan handed him the tea, but he remained dazed and did not take it.

  Qiao Yu's mother was the only daughter of Yuezhun, and it had been many years since anyone had made tea for him like this. The cleverness of Qiao Yu's move lay not in the art of making tea, but in winning people over.

  "Grandfather?" Qiao Yu softly called out to him, gesturing for him to pour the tea, "Taste it."

  Le Quan finished drinking and didn't say anything, he just called Qiao Yu to go to the study.

  The old man and his grandson stood side by side, with Le Zhun asking first, "You taught her how to wash the white hair, didn't you? Your mother's technique, it seems you really value her."

  Qiao Yu slowly opened his mouth, "I have never disobeyed you and Father, but in this world, only she, I cannot compromise. I have never regretted giving up my dreams to take this path, the only thing I regret is that I gave her up back then. I always thought that letting go of her back then was for her own good, but later on, through so many days and nights, I regretted it. Such a simple truth, why didn't I understand it back then?"

  In the past few years, he had also asked himself whether he regretted his choice back then. But there was no answer until Ji Siyu stood in front of him again, looked into his eyes and asked if he regretted it. Only then did he realize that what he regretted wasn't giving up on his dreams, but letting go of her hand.

  Le Quan looked at him and suddenly smiled, "You've really grown up."

  Le Zhun and Qiao Yu went to the study, Old Lady Le went to the kitchen to prepare food, Qiao Le Xi went out to answer the phone, so only Qiao Bo Yuan, Ji Si Xuan, and Qiao Le Xi's two children were left in the living room.

  The dragon and phoenix twins, at a young age, already knew how to look at faces. They sat on either side of Ji Si Xuan, one to the left and one to the right, tilting their heads and smiling at her. However, Ji Si Xuan had a bitter expression, her eyes cast downward as she sat quietly. Qiao's father, sitting across from them, looked particularly serious, but somehow also seemed joyful.

  Ji Siyuan was particularly depressed because of Lezhun's reaction. That cup of tea must have been really hard to drink, right? Even the old man's face changed color.

  But Qiao Boer, on the other hand, wanted to comfort this beautiful girl, but didn't know how to start, so he just kept silent.

  Qiao Le Xi finished the phone call and came in to see such a strange scene, she was entangled for a while, walked up and hugged Qiao Bo Yuan's arm, "Dad, I like this sister, can we keep her at home for dinner?"

  Qiao Bo nodded and comforted Ji Siyuan along this topic, "Stay for dinner. It's nothing, Qiao Yu's grandfather has been in the army for a long time, so he looks serious, but actually he loves his juniors very much, you'll know later."

  Qiao Le Xi pouted, Grandpa was serious, you're not much better either.

  When they came out of Qiao's house, it was already pitch black outside. Ji Siyu asked Qiao Yu with some concern, "How is it?"

  Qiao Yu smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

  Ji Siyuan looked at him, "How did you know? They didn't say anything."

  Qiao Yu led her to the car, "Because Dad asked you to stay for dinner, and after dinner Grandpa gave us a tea called Moon Group, which means reunion and harmony."

  Ji Siyuan looked at Qiao Yu's smiling face and finally put down the heart she had been holding up.

  After finishing this matter, Ji Siyuan threw himself into the army of architect exams again. After taking the exam, he began to recruit soldiers and horses to establish an office.

  Ji Siyuan never thought that, apart from various architects, she would also recruit a partner.

  Wei Xing appeared before her with a clear and refreshing expression, the earring still sparkling.

  Ji Siyuan and Xu Bingjun would occasionally exchange emails, from which she learned that not long after her resignation, Wei Xin had also quit and changed careers.

  Wei Xian looked around her office and then handed out a card with great generosity.

  Ji Siyuan didn't even look at him, "Sorry, I already have a master, feeding is prohibited."

  Wei Xin was speechless, "I want to join forces!"

  Ji Siyun smiled and teased him, "What, planning to return to your old ways?"

  Wei Xing was taken aback, furrowed his brow and thought for a long time before asking, "Who is Just Employment?"

  "That's an idiom!"

  Ji Siyuan was speechless. Why is it that every single person learning a foreign language can always grasp the usage of dirty words the fastest and most accurately?

  At the end of that year, the law firm finally put up its signboard and named itself Xuan Zhi You Xuan.

  As a partner, Wei Xin had a big opinion about this and would often stand in front of the sign complaining, "Why isn't my name on it?"

  Empress Dowager Shen formally summoned Qiao Yu as her daughter's mother-in-law, and Qiao Yu was extremely nervous.

  Since he was young, he had little contact with female elders and had no idea what gifts to prepare, so he could only seek help from Mrs. Yue Lao.

  After finishing speaking, Qiao Yu slightly lowered his head and actually blushed.

  The old lady smiled faintly, but her eyes were full of deep concern for the younger generation. She looked at Qiao Yu for a long time before speaking, "My grandson is so good, I don't think anyone wouldn't like him."

  You don't need to say much, a flush of red is enough to show how much you love her.

  In this era, people can be together for many seemingly reasonable reasons, but if it's because of love, you must cherish it.

  Qiao Yu had the guidance of Old Lady Le, and the gift she chose seemed to be very much to Shen Fanxing's liking. However, when she opened her mouth, she was smiling as she talked about Ji Sixuan's childhood stories.

  "When she was in middle school, I was once called to the school by her homeroom teacher. According to what the teacher said, the education bureau came to observe a public lesson, and near the end of the class, they asked the students how a certain teacher's lesson was. She stood up and answered, 'Teacher Yang teaches very well, every time he teaches, the page numbers in my classmates' textbooks are all different, but they can all understand what the teacher is saying.' That inspection was very important, and it's said that the teacher was suspended from teaching because of her comment."

  Qiao Yu smiled after hearing this, and indeed it was quite like Ji Siyu's style.

  Shen Fengxing also smiled, "After coming back, I asked her to go to the Education Bureau's inspection team to explain clearly, but she refused to go. Because of her one sentence, someone else's career was ruined. This kind of thing is something that neither I nor her father can tolerate. I almost beat her."

  Her strong and proud demeanor was deeply felt, and she couldn't help but smile.

  Shen Feng Xing suddenly became serious, her eyebrows furrowed with a heavy expression. "It wasn't until much later, when I attended another parent-teacher conference, that I found out from her deskmate that the teacher would often touch her hand during class breaks under the guise of showing concern for his students... But she never told me about it. Fortunately, that teacher was later investigated and fired from the school for many problems. However, she never mentioned any of this to me, fearing that I and her father would worry. She's clever and can handle many things on her own. Changing majors, studying abroad, being a beautiful girl who gets isolated by her peers... these are all things she wouldn't tell me about. But she would say to me, 'Mom, that man named Qiao Yu is very good to me.' I don't know what she means by 'very good', Qiao Yu, you tell me, just how good is it?"

  Always perfectly interpreting elegant women, Shen Fanxing's unintentional tremble made Qiao Yu suddenly feel at a loss, he suddenly wanted to go see her.

  Ji Sixuan spent the whole afternoon revising the chart in her office, and when she looked up to rub her neck, she saw him standing at the door, but didn't know how long he had been there, just staring blankly at her.

  Ji Siyuan smiled and continued to bow her head, "Just now Old Ji called me on the phone and said that Empress Shen summoned you. How was it? Did Empress Shen give you a hard time?"

  After waiting for half a day without anyone responding, Ji Siyu raised her head again to find Qiao Yu already standing in front of her with an odd expression. She opened her mouth with a hint of amusement, "Really bullied? I'm telling you, when dealing with Empress Shen, you can't..."

  The next second, Ji Siyu felt a heat on her lips. She blinked her eyes, had she been kissed?

  Later, Ji Siyuan asked Qiao Yu what Empress Shen had said to him.

  Qiao Yu didn't mention anything about the past, "Empress Shen said you've always been spoiled and are a wild girl."

  Ji Siyun furrowed her brow, "Then how did you return hers?"

  "Mine," Qiao Yu said, looking up at her with a deep and warm affection in his eyes that Ji Siyuan had never seen before, "From today on, she's a kept woman."

  One day, Qiao Yu was invited to go to Ji's house for dinner. He said he was going to eat, but in fact, he bought the ingredients himself and went to cook.

  He was making the last dish of soup in the kitchen when Ji Mo came in.

  Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Dinner will be ready soon."

  Ji Mo shook his head, looked outside and saw that Shen Fanxing and Ji Sixuan hadn't noticed, so he quietly opened his mouth, "Young man, name a price."

  Qiao Yu was taken aback for a moment, thought about it, and roughly understood that he was talking about the betrothal gift. He smiled and said, "You speak."

  Ji Mo suddenly furrowed his brow, hesitating with a difficult expression for a while, and finally made up his mind to take out a card and hand it to Qiao Yu, "This is all my private savings, don't think it's too little, choose a date and take her away as soon as possible."

  Qiao Yu looked at the bank card handed to him, unsure whether he should take it or not. Ji Siyuan, just how unwelcome are you by your parents?
