Then Guan's father said something extremely serious:
"Now that you are together, I won't say much, but if you dare to bully my daughter, I will fight with you to the end even if I risk my life!"
Upon seeing this, Qu Lianjie quickly made a solemn statement: "Don't worry, uncle, Guan Guan will be guarded by you for the first half of his life, and I will take over for the second half of his life!"
"It sounds nice, all the same!" Guan's father rolled his eyes at him, but even though he said so, he was still quite satisfied in his heart.
Then his attitude also changed a bit, and he said seriously:
"Lianjie, this child Guan Guan has been protected very well by her mother and I since she was a child. She may be naive sometimes, so you need to be more considerate~"
"Uncle, I won't say any more. Just watch my actions~" Qu Lianjie replied.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Qu Lianjie stood up first: "Uncle, I'm going to drive. My driver should have brought the things up~"
After Qu Lianjie opened the door, he found that it was his driver standing outside the door. He took the things over and gave him a wink.
Liu Hongyu, who had been with his boss for several years, understood immediately, turned around and left the Qu family directly.
"Uncle, let's drink this today~" Qu Lianjie returned to the living room holding a large box of Maotai and said with a smile.
He had specifically inquired with his girlfriend before and found out that her father loved to drink.
Guan's father loved wine but was not an alcoholic. He usually had nothing to do and would drink a little every day. When he saw this box of Moutai, he couldn't take his eyes away from it, and he had a better impression of Qu Lianjie in his heart.
"Lao Guan, hurry up and bring Lian Jie over to wash your hands and eat~" Guan's mother's voice came from the kitchen.
"Okay~" Guan's father responded.
Then he stood up and looked around, and asked Qu Lianjie with some confusion: "Lianjie, where is the young man driving for you~"
"He has friends here~" Qu Lianjie responded casually. On an occasion like today, it would be best for the driver not to be present.
"Oh~" Guan Fu just asked casually.
After that, I deliberately took two bottles of Maotai from the wine box and walked to the restaurant. As I walked, I smiled behind me and said, "Lianjie, I borrowed your money today, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to drink such good wine~"
Qu Lianjie knew that Guan's father was obviously joking. He was in charge of lending at the bank, so he probably wouldn't be able to push him through the wine shop or anything like that.
Guan's mother walked out of the kitchen carrying the last dish and saw the two bottles of wine after placing it on the table.
She glared at him directly and said angrily: "Last time I went for a physical examination, the doctor told you to drink less~"
Seeing this, Guan's father smiled brightly and said: "Just a little bit, why should I accompany Lian Jie when he comes~"
"Then only one cup~" Guan's mother thought for a moment and said.
Qu Lianjie, who was sitting aside, was a little stunned when he saw this scene. Only then did he understand what "borrowing light" meant. It turned out to be such a "borrowing".
After Guan's mother sat down, she used serving chopsticks to pick up a large chicken drumstick for Qu Lianjie and put it into the bowl.
He said in a very gentle tone: "These chickens were brought from your uncle Guan's hometown. They are all domestic chickens~"
"I heard Guan Guan say before that the last time she went to your house, Sister Fen prepared more than 30 dishes. You came in a hurry this time, and Auntie didn't prepare them in advance, which was just some home-cooked dishes~"
Qu Lianjie looked at the dozen or so dishes that could hardly be placed on the table. None of them seemed to have anything to do with home-cooked dishes.
The atmosphere was very harmonious after that. After dinner, everyone sat on the sofa and chatted for a while. Qu Lianjie raised his hand and looked at his watch.
Feeling that it was already a little late, he stood up and said goodbye: "Uncle and aunt, thank you very much for your hospitality. I will leave now and come back tomorrow to pick you up~"
Guan Ju'er was like a wife. Although she didn't speak, she silently handed the bag to her boyfriend.
Guan's mother said directly: "Why go there? It costs money to stay in a hotel. It's not like we don't have room at home~"
Then he turned to his husband and ordered: "Lao Guan, go and clear out the guest room, and let Lian Jie live at home!"
"Hey~" Guan's father replied drunkenly, then got up and went to clean up the house.
Guan Ju'er blushed shyly and stood up from the sofa, planning to go over and help clean up together.
Seeing this, Qu Lianjie quickly stopped Guan's father: "Uncle Guan, please don't be busy. I just planned to visit this branch when I came to Wuxi this time. It's far away from your home, so it's not convenient to live here~"
In the end, despite Guan's mother's repeated attempts to stay, Qu Lianjie did not agree because he felt that it was his first time here and he was not familiar with her yet. If he lived here, everyone would definitely be uncomfortable.
Finally, the three members of the Guan family came out together to take Qu Lianjie to the elevator. Guan's mother also warned: "Lianjie, come here early tomorrow, and Auntie will make breakfast for you~"
"Okay aunt, you and uncle should go back quickly~" Qu Lianjie said and went straight to the elevator.
After leaving Guan's house, Qu Lianjie asked the driver to find a hotel nearby. After getting a room, he went to bed immediately. He drank too much and felt sleepy as soon as he came out to catch the wind.
Who would have thought that Guan Fu's cup was so big that he could pour a whole pound of liquor, of course it was just one cup.
The next day, under the reluctant eyes of Guan's father and mother, Qu Lianjie and Guan Ju'er set out on their way back to the Magic City. Of course, the trunk of the car was full when they went back.
After the car drove out of the city, Qu Lianjie felt that his girlfriend sitting beside him was a little depressed.
Then he smiled and comforted him: "It's not far away anyway. If you want to come back anytime in the future, just tell me and we will come back at any time."
"Yeah~" Guan Ju'er nodded obediently.
…
A few days have passed since the last time I went to Wuxi. It was not a busy day. Qu Lianjie was fishing in the office and thinking about what to eat for dinner when he suddenly heard his cell phone ringing on the table.
When he picked it up and looked at the caller ID, Qu Lianjie was a little surprised, because it was Tan Zongming. Although the two had a pleasant chat last time, they also exchanged contact information.
But the two of them had their own things to do and didn't usually communicate with each other. Why would he suddenly call me?
Although he was a little surprised, he still answered the call and said in a very polite tone: "Mr. Tan, why are you calling because you are such a busy person~"
Tan Zongming pretended to be unhappy when he heard this and said: "I told you last time, from now on I will be called Lao Tan!"
"Oops, didn't I forget~" Qu Lianjie made a random excuse. It was better to be sure about the address, otherwise it would be easy to offend others.
"Do you have anything going on later? I'll buy you a drink. I need your help with something. I can't explain it in a few words on the phone!"
Tan Zongming's style is more decisive, and he speaks quickly and directly states his purpose.
Qu Lianjie was even more unsure now. Tan Zongming even thought that he could handle difficult things by himself?
But he still promised to the phone: "Of course it's no problem, I'd better treat you~"
Tan Zongming said directly: "Okay, let's not argue. You can come directly to my house. Didn't you say you like to eat this kind of farm food last time~"
"Okay, I'll be right over~" Qu Lianjie said and hung up the phone.
He went directly downstairs and asked the driver to go to Tan Zongming's manor in the suburbs.
This time, perhaps under Tan Zongming's orders, Qu Lianjie was treated differently from last time and drove in directly.
After the two met, they greeted each other and sat down on the sofa in the living room. Tan Zongming asked with a smile:
"Lian Jie, aren't you curious about what exactly I want you to do for me when I come to you this time?"
To be continued!
