Qu Lianjie didn't stay with Tan Zongming for long. After chatting for a while, he was about to leave: "Old Tan, I'll leave first. There's something else going on at the company!"
At this time, Tan Zongming had adjusted his emotions and said sincerely: "Lianjie, I know you told me this today for my own good. Anyway, thank you very much!"
"It's okay~" Qu Lianjie waved his hand, then stood up and walked out.
Tan Zongming also stood up to see him off, and said: "There is a cocktail party next week. Do you have time? Take your girlfriend with you and introduce two friends to you~"
"Of course I have time, sorry for bothering Lao Tan!" Qu Lianjie was also very polite.
After leaving Tan Zongming's house, Qu Lianjie did not go to the company and went back home directly.
After arriving home, he saw his grandma and mother watching TV in the living room. Qu Lianjie also sat over and said, "Grandma, Mom~"
Grandma Qu was watching the critical moment, her eyes were focused on the TV, and she just waved her hand as a response.
Zheng Fen didn't like this TV series that much. She turned around and said to her son: "Lian Jie, your parents and Guan Guan's have also met. When do you plan to get married?"
Qu Lianjie crossed his legs and said vaguely while eating lychees: "I haven't thought about it yet, just let it take its course~"
"It's okay. If you're okay, you'll be 40~" Zheng Fen was not angry when she heard her son's answer. After speaking, she kicked him lightly.
Qu Lianjie didn't hide. It didn't hurt anyway, so he could kick him if he wanted. When his mother mentioned his girlfriend, he remembered something.
So he put down the lychee in his hand and suggested: "Mom, grandma, let's go out and play. We haven't been together as a family for a long time!"
It happened that the TV series commercial was on at this time. Grandma Qu turned around and said with a smile: "Where are you going?"
Zheng Fen is a little worried. After all, her mother-in-law is 76 this year and rarely goes back to her hometown just to avoid the hassle.
First he glared at his son, then turned to his mother-in-law and persuaded her: "Mom, your body..."
Grandma Qu couldn't bear to hear people say she was not in good health, so she interrupted directly:
"My health is fine. The doctor said during my last physical examination that I don't even look like I'm in my 70s, I look like I'm in my 50s~"
Qu Lianjie also understood his mother's worries and advised her:
"Mom, I have a friend who runs a private hospital. If I ask him to help find a medical team to follow him, there will definitely be no problem!"
"And the doctor at the last physical examination also said that my grandma needs to exercise more now. She is now a little bit fat!"
"Okay, where to go? Don't go too far!" Zheng Fen said reluctantly.
"Just find a villa or something nearby. The air there must be very good. Let's breathe some fresh air!" Qu Lianjie replied with a smile.
Then the matter was settled.
In the evening, Qu Lianjie was lying on the bed and chatting on the phone with Guan Ju'er: "How are you doing today? What time will you come back tomorrow? I will pick you up!"
It is estimated that Wei Wei arranged a single room for Guan Ju'er out of Qu Lianjie's face, otherwise it would be good to let her and Qiu Yingying live in the same room.
He was the only one in the room, so Guan Ju'er didn't hesitate to speak and said directly:
"Don't mention it, I was fine playing normally, but then I met Qu Xiaoxiao. I don't know why, but she and Sister Fan never dealt with her."
"This time, during dinner, I directly exposed Sister Fan's renting a house, and even made sarcastic remarks. I was frightened at that time, for fear that the two of them would fight!"
"You also know that Sister Fan is such a face-saving person. At that time, she probably wanted to find a way for herself, so she said some words and made her suitor Wang Baichuan angry away!"
After listening to this, Qu Lianjie first smiled, and then commented very objectively:
"Guan Guan, you, Sister Fan, want to be a general's wife, but you don't want to endure hardship. You always want to get there in one step. How can there be so many good things in this world?"
"I think this Wang Baichuan is very good and he should have some achievements in the future. But you, Sister Fan, don't like this kind of new entrepreneur at all. You just want to marry into a rich family and enjoy life directly~"
Although Guan Ju'er agreed in his heart when he heard this, he still retorted: "You are not allowed to say that about Sister Fan, she is not like that!"
Qu Lianjie didn't say anything more about this, and directly changed the subject: "There is a relatively high-end cocktail party next week, let's go together~"
"Brother Lianjie, I'm afraid I'll embarrass you~" Guan Ju'er said worriedly.
Qu Lianjie said very domineeringly:
"What are you afraid of? Don't worry about them. My girlfriend can do whatever she wants. It's not their turn to make irresponsible remarks~"
"That's okay~" Guan Ju'er felt very sweet in her heart. It felt so good to be cared for.
"The temperature has cooled down a bit now, so I still need to wear more clothes~" Qu Lianjie said and hung up the phone.
I went to pick up my girlfriend early the next day.
…
A few days later, on Friday night, the two of them dressed up for a cocktail party. Qu Lianjie wore a lapel-style two-button gray suit, and Guan Ju'er beside him wore a white dress, conservative yet elegant.
However, the nervousness on his face could be clearly seen, and Qu Lianjie also noticed his girlfriend's face.
He turned his head and said softly in his ear: "Don't be afraid, just treat everyone present as a little sheep~"
"Pfft~" Guan Ju'er was immediately amused, but he wasn't so nervous anymore.
Qu Lianjie took his girlfriend to greet everyone he knew and introduced her to them.
Although Guan Ju'er is a little reserved, her good tutoring since she was a child still allows her to behave gracefully and without any stage fright.
Qu Lianjie on the side was a little surprised by his girlfriend's performance. He really didn't expect Guan Ju'er to be so outstanding.
In fact, what Qu Lianjie didn't know was that Guan Ju'er's good performance today was the result of a phone call between her and her father for advice. After all, Guan's father was an executive at a local bank and often went to such occasions.
At this time, his friend Chen Weinan came over and joked to him: "Okay, Lian Jie, I didn't expect my sister-in-law to be so beautiful. No wonder you didn't come when Wang Xu asked you to come out last time!"
"Go away~" Qu Lianjie laughed and cursed in a low voice.
After introducing each other, several people chatted for a few more words.
After Chen Weinan left, Qu Lianjie wanted to take his girlfriend to rest for a while, but as soon as he turned around, he saw an acquaintance.
He directly stretched out his finger and reminded his girlfriend: "Guan Guan, look at the person standing with Lao Tan. Is that Andy?"
"Oh, it's really true. Let's go over and say hello!" Guan Ju'er said with some surprise.
As a result, as soon as he took two steps, he saw that they were already chatting with someone else, and Qu Lianjie also knew this person.
He walked over and said hello with a smile: "Mr. Xiao Bao~"
"Sister Andy, it's great to have you here. Let's go to the side and have a chat~"
Guan Ju'er had been smirking all night, but this time the smile on his face was the most sincere when he spoke, and he even hugged Andy's arm.
"Guan Guan~" Andy was not surprised to see Guan Ju'er here. After all, Qu Lianjie was standing next to him.
"Lianjie, you're here too~" Bao Yifan still had the same iconic magnetic voice.
"Excuse me for a moment, you two can chat~" Andy also had an excuse when she saw Guan Ju'er. She didn't like the contact with the flamboyantly dressed Bao Yifan in front of her.
After Andy and Guan Ju'er left, the three men also chatted for a while.
After Bao Yifan left, Qu Lianjie whispered to Tan Zongming: "Old Tan, you are leading the wolf into the house~"
