Qin Xuan booked a nice car and even paid for it in advance. Even if they wanted to take a train, they couldn’t now.
"Mom, give us a call when you’re almost here," Qin Yun said with a smile.
After hanging up, Qin Yun thought for a mont and called his second sister, Qin Lu, but her phone was busy, probably because Zhao i was calling her.
A while later, Qin Lu called back.
"Lu, let Mom and Dad, and Uncle co here first. You can co over after your class."
Today, Qin Yun still had class.
"Okay." Qin Yun nodded, calculating the ti. He wouldn’t miss much of the family gathering.
...
At Qingyu Law Firm, a taxi pulled up, and three people stepped out.
Two of them looked very familiar; they were Qin Yun’s parents, Qin Guodong and Zhao i.
The two had been through years of hard work, looking older than their age. But over the past few months, they’ve gradually recovered. The gray hair on their heads seed to have decreased, indicating better days.
The other person looked slightly uneasy, glancing at the surrounding skyscrapers with an unnatural expression.
This was Qin Yun’s second uncle, Zhao Jiafu, father of Zhao Dongxue.
"Is this where Lu works?" Zhao i looked around, slightly unsure.
Beside her, Qin Guodong chuckled and said, "Yes, that’s Qingyu Law Firm written over there. I’ll call Lu imdiately."
At that mont, a girl ca running out of the building, spotted Qin Guodong and the others, and cheerfully called out, "Dad, Mom, Uncle."
"Lu has grown more beautiful."
Qin Guodong and Zhao i were delighted to see their daughter, while Zhao Jiafu smiled broadly and said this.
He was truly envious; Qin Lu was a university graduate working in these tall buildings in the legal profession.
In his eyes, lawyers were highly competent people, like those shown on TV arguing cases in court.
If his daughter, Zhao Dongxue, could be half as successful as Qin Lu, he would be content.
"Dad, Mom, Uncle, I’ll take you to see where I work first, then we’ll et Xue. As for Yun, he’ll co straight to the clothing store after his class." Qin Lu said with a smile.
She led her parents towards Qingyu Law Firm.
The elevator had just opened when Zhang Yuqing ca out.
"Sister Zhang."
Seeing Zhang Yuqing, Qin Lu greeted her and introduced, "Mom, Dad, Uncle, this is my boss."
She gave Zhang Yuqing a brief introduction to Qin Guodong and the others.
With a smile, Zhang Yuqing said, "Lu, since your parents and uncle are here, show them your workplace properly."
After exchanging a few words, Zhang Yuqing left.
"Lu, your boss seems nice and very kind." Zhao i whispered after Zhang Yuqing left.
Earlier, she was a bit worried about Qin Lu, fearing her boss might be strict, but now she felt much more reassured.
"Of course, working here is relaxed. Both the boss and my colleagues are great." Qin Lu said with a smile.
Though they said they would explore Qin Lu’s workplace, Zhao i and the others just took a quick tour and left.
Apart from the staff, there were others seeking legal services, so they didn’t attract much attention.
Both Yang Yezhen and Zhao Tian, who were also there, cheerfully said, "Lu, we’re off tomorrow, so we’ll take Uncle and Aunt out for a al."
Shortly after, they all left Qingyu Law Firm and headed to Celestial Fortune Clothing.
"Lu, is Xue behaving at the store? Does she cause any trouble?" Zhao Jiafu couldn’t help but ask on the way.
He was well aware of his daughter’s nature. When she first started working at the store, she called to request Qin Yun for a raise, unsure if this angered Qin Yun.
"No."
Qin Lu smiled and continued, "Uncle, Xue is doing great work, very diligent."
They arrived at Celestial Fortune Clothing.
Looking at this massive clothing store and the bustling crowd inside, Zhao Jiafu clearly showed a trace of shock.
He had seen Qin Yun’s small shop in Qingwu County, and as for the big store, he had heard his daughter ntion it but had never seen it in person.
Even in Wu City, he hadn’t seen a large clothing store with so many people inside.
"Lu, Yun has opened twelve stores now, right?" Zhao Jiafu couldn’t help but ask after so thought,
He was well-inford about this.
"Yes, twelve stores. Four of them are about this size, and the other eight are 40 square ters each." Qin Lu nodded.
Though he had known this for a while, standing in front of this clothing store and thinking about the twelve stores, Zhao Jiafu was still in awe.
The nephew he saw last year during the New Year, who was still a bit reserved, had achieved so much in such a short ti!
"Sister, you all are really going to enjoy life." Zhao Jiafu couldn’t help but express his envy to Zhao i.
He was truly envious. Zhao Dongxue had an older brother, but he was working in Shanghai and had married into his wife’s family, rarely coming ho.
They had visited their son in Shanghai, but felt the wife’s parents looked down on them as country folks. After that one visit, they hadn’t gone back.
Only during the New Year would their son co back once, sotis with his wife, sotis without, never really putting them first.
His son wasn’t accomplished, so he couldn’t rely on him. His daughter was rebellious.
But his sister’s family now, the eldest daughter Qin Xuan managed a large clothing factory and four stores, the second daughter Qin Lu beca a lawyer, and their son Qin Yun opened so many stores.
Qin Xuan, Qin Lu, and Qin Yun were all so filial, compared to which his feelings were evident.
"Brother, Xue will also be very filial to you in the future." Zhao i quickly assured him.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jiafu shook his head, "I’d be content if that girl didn’t upset ."
Walking into the store, Zhao Jiafu spotted his daughter. She was introducing clothes to a woman, with a smile on her face, showing no signs of being a rebellious teenager.
As if sensing soone watching her, Zhao Dongxue looked towards the clothing store entrance and quickly spotted Zhao Jiafu. She wasn’t surprised, knowing her dad was coming to Jinling.
However, she didn’t co over imdiately and continued helping the woman. Only after the woman decided to purchase and paid did she finally approach.
"Dad, you arrived quite early?"
She said with a cheeky grin, then turned to Qin Guodong and Zhao i, greeting them, "Uncle, Aunt."
Seeing Zhao Dongxue’s deanor, Zhao Jiafu felt much comforted. During her ti in Jinling, she not only didn’t lose weight but had even gained a little bit.
