Qin Xiaoru and a few other girls had planned to go out together, leaving their luggage at a classmate’s house.
Nodding, Qin Yun asked about the location of her classmate’s house.
The car quickly exited the highway, arriving in Jinling, and after another half hour, they finally reached Qin Xiaoru’s classmate’s house.
Three girls were already waiting there.
After parking, Qin Yun helped Qin Xiaoru take the suitcase out of the trunk.
"Thank you, Brother Qin Yun," Qin Xiaoru expressed her gratitude.
"No problem."
Qin Yun smiled, nodding towards the three girls who were curiously gazing at him before he drove away.
"Xiaoru, is that your brother?"
"He’s so handso, is he seeing anyone?"
As soon as Qin Yun left, the girls giggled and asked.
"My brother is so excellent, don’t even think about it,"
Qin Xiaoru laughed as she saw their curious faces.
They didn’t know, but she was fully aware of Qin Yun’s situation, and with his conditions, there was no way he would be associated with any of them.
...
"Second Sister, Celestial Fortune is currently setting up a legal departnt, do you want to co over?"
After dropping off Qin Xiaoru, Qin Yun was now heading towards Qingyu Law Firm, asking as he drove.
"Not for now."
Qin Lu thought for a mont and shook her head, "My internship ends on May 1st, and I need to go back to school to prepare for my thesis defense. I’ll co over after that."
She certainly wanted to help her brother, but she was currently in her final year internship phase.
In fact, Qin Lu was also a bit concerned about her capabilities and planned to learn more at Qingyu Law Firm.
Once she officially graduated, she would help her brother.
Qin Yun nodded and drove Qin Lu to her place, where both Yang Yezhen and Zhao Tian were already there, having returned a day before Qin Lu on the seventh day of the new year.
Beside Zhao Tian stood a young man wearing glasses, around 1.75 ters tall.
Seeing Qin Yun’s car, they quickly approached.
Once out of the car, both Qin Yun and Qin Lu got out.
"Lu, you’re back?"
Yang Yezhen and Zhao Tian were filled with joy, giving Qin Lu a hug before turning to Qin Yun with cheerful smiles, "Happy New Year, President Qin."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yun smiled back and wished them a Happy New Year as well.
Zhao Tian then introduced the young man beside her to Qin Yun as Shan Lei, her boyfriend.
"Nice to et you," Qin Yun greeted with a smile and soon left.
"Tian, is that Qin Yun? The founder of Celestial Fortune Clothing?" Shan Lei couldn’t help but ask curiously after Qin Yun left.
Qin Yun seed so young, still a freshman, and had already achieved such success.
"Yes," Zhao Tian nodded.
She sighed inwardly; compared to Qin Yun, Shan Lei seed quite ordinary.
But she herself was just an ordinary girl.
...
After leaving Qingyu Law Firm, Qin Yun drove directly to Celestial Fortune Clothing.
"Xiaotao said he would pick up Hu Shanshan for work, I wonder how things are going on his side?"
Qin Yun thought to himself while driving.
During the New Year, Qin Xiaotao brought Hu Shanshan to Qingwu County, then visited Hu Shanshan’s ho.
Now that the holiday was over, he went again to pick up Hu Shanshan.
Qin Yun hoped his cousin could get married soon, with a happy ending with Hu Shanshan.
Thinking about this, he made a call.
Hu Shanshan’s ho was in the countryside, and Qin Xiaotao was currently there.
Although it was rural, it was a new countryside, but the location was quite remote, taking so ti to get to the main road.
"Shanshan, what do you think about Qin Xiaotao?"
Hu Shanshan’s father was hosting Qin Xiaotao, seemingly quite satisfied with him, knowing the general situation of his work.
Moreover, Qin Xiaotao seed like an honest person, definitely not soone who would mistreat his daughter.
anwhile, Hu Shanshan’s mother was conversing with her in the house.
"Qin Xiaotao is quite nice," Hu Shanshan thought for a mont and said.
"Sigh, he’s a good person, just that his family is a bit poor. Did you ask when he plans to buy a house in Jinling?" Hu’s mother asked.
Previously, when Hu Shanshan visited Qin Xiaotao’s ho, she must have told her parents about it upon returning.
Hu Shanshan replied, "I asked. He said for now, they will rent, and once they’ve saved enough money, they’ll buy a house."
Qin Guodong and Zhang Pandi bought a house for Qin Xiaotao, but it was in Qingwu County, in a very remote area, where Hu Shanshan definitely wouldn’t live.
So if she and Qin Xiaotao were to be together, they would have to buy a house in Jinling for sure.
Qin Xiaotao said that the money wasn’t enough right now, so they would rent first, then save money and purchase a place for a down paynt once they had enough.
With Jinling’s exorbitant real estate prices, he really couldn’t afford it.
However, with his current salary, year-end bonuses, and so on, he should be able to afford a down paynt in a few years at most.
Faced with this response, Hu Shanshan felt there was nothing she could do, understanding Qin Xiaotao’s situation.
Noticing her mother’s slightly hesitant expression, Hu Shanshan couldn’t help but ask, "Mom, what do you want to say to ?"
Hu Shanshan’s mother hesitated for a mont and said, "I just want to ask if you’re really sure you want to be with Qin Xiaotao. If so, we can discuss things with his parents this year and prepare for the wedding. If not, I have another prospect, introduced by your aunt. He’s also from the village, doing a small business in Jinling, and has both a house and a car."
"Earlier, you ntioned Qin Xiaotao’s family situation, and your aunt and others said the conditions were too poor. Conveniently, they had soone in mind and ca to discuss it with , asking about your situation."
They knew Qin Xiaotao worked for his cousin, but no matter how big his cousin’s business was, it had nothing to do with him; at most, it was a slight connection.
It’s like in their village, where one family with four brothers had a huge family business worth tens of millions, but the other three brothers led diocre lives. The second brother’s son couldn’t even afford the wedding, leading to a breakup with his girlfriend over the dowry.
There were plenty of such examples.
Hearing what Hu’s mother said, Hu Shanshan was taken aback.
Hu’s mother felt conflicted, wanting her daughter to marry well and not suffer in the future.
Looking at Hu Shanshan, Hu’s mother continued, "So I’m asking you; if you’re sure and plan to marry this year, I’ll talk to your aunt and decline the other guy. But if you’d rather wait, you can add him on WeChat and get to know him a little bit, just as making a friend. You never know, you might be compatible in many ways."
After saying this, Hu’s mother fell silent, awaiting her daughter’s response.
Her aunt’s family had introduced soone, and she couldn’t outright reject them, so it depended on her daughter’s stance.
Previously, Hu Shanshan had gone on so blind dates, but the prospects were average. However, this ti, the match had genuinely good conditions.
If she could choose, she would definitely pick the latter.
Mother and daughter remained silent for a few seconds, then Hu Shanshan nodded and said, "Mom, I’ll add him on WeChat."
After talking for a while, the two went downstairs.
"Shanshan," Seeing Hu Shanshan, Qin Xiaotao couldn’t help but smile.
Present in the room was also another family — Zhou Yue and her parents.
This ti, Zhou Yue was also returning to Jinling with them.
