"When are we leaving?" Jiang Chuan asked.
"This afternoon, I've already booked the tickets," Qiu Qianyu replied.
"Alright, I'll go get ready then."
Originally, Jiang Chuan, Qiu Qianyu, and Jiang Xiaoru planned to go, but Jiang Xiaoru had to take a leave at the last minute because of so family issues.
So, it ended up being just the two of them.
The journey was uneventful!
Soon, the plane landed, and they arrived in Yun City.
Yun City is a tier-four small city, not very large but quite bustling.
After getting off the plane, Qiu Qianyu took Jiang Chuan to a supermarket and bought a lot of nutritional supplents, then she told Jiang Chuan sothing.
"Jiang Chuan, my uncle has a sowhat peculiar personality. If he says anything unpleasant, please don't take it to heart."
Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, your uncle is my uncle too. He is my elder, so even if he says sothing, I won't mind."
"That's good then, thank you, Jiang Chuan." Qiu Qianyu smiled faintly, feeling more and more content with Jiang Chuan.
Jiang Chuan smiled and asked back, "Oh? Thank for what?"
"Thank you for coming with ."
Qiu Qianyu gave a cheeky smile. Clearly, she felt much more relaxed for this rare outing.
Jiang Chuan also sensed Qiu Qianyu's cheerful mood, which made him happy too.
Caring for soone, loving soone, feeling happy because she's happy, feeling sad because she's sad, this must be what it's all about.
The two of them had been together for more than three months, and a subtle affection had developed between Jiang Chuan and Qiu Qianyu.
This affection made it difficult for both of them to let go of each other.
After leaving the supermarket, they hailed a taxi and headed straight to her uncle's house with large bags in hand.
Qiu Qianyu's uncle is nad Liu Qi, with the 'Qi' from 'qin qi shu hua' (chess from qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting).
Qiu Qianyu ntioned that her grandfather was a very knowledgeable man, and nad her mother Liu Qin, while her uncle was nad Liu Qi. If there were more children, they would probably be nad Liu Shu and Liu Hua.
Jiang Chuan and Qiu Qianyu were chatting and laughing along the way and soon arrived at a very shabby old neighborhood.
This neighborhood had so years to it, with dilapidated buildings that gave off a distinct 1980s feel.
Soon, Qiu Qianyu saw her uncle Liu Qi.
The entire Liu Qi family happened to be ho.
"Oh my, isn't this Xiaoyu? It's already been a year since we last t, and Xiaoyu, you've beco even more beautiful!"
The speaker was Qiu Qianyu's aunt, nad Wang Rong, who was heavily made up and had a sharp and sarcastic look.
"Mom, she's a princess from the big city, of course she'll grow prettier and prettier, unlike , born in this dump, destined to be poor my whole life!"
A girl was putting on makeup over there, speaking in a sour tone.
Qiu Qianyu had ntioned to Jiang Chuan that she was Liu Qi's daughter, nad Liu Fang.
Liu Qi reprimanded, "What are you talking about? Is this dump so bad? If you're capable, go find a boyfriend in the big city, then you won't have to be poor your whole life!"
After reprimanding, Liu Qi smiled and said to Qiu Qianyu, "Xiaoyu, that's just the way your cousin is, don't mind her. By the way, who is this... Xiaoyu, aren't you going to introduce him to your uncle?"
Three months ago, Qiu Qianyu and Jiang Chuan got married in a hurry without holding a wedding, and they hadn't even inford their relatives.
So, when Qiu Qianyu introduced Jiang Chuan's identity, Liu Qi was imdiately surprised.
"What? You say he's your husband? You're already married?"
Liu Qi's expression imdiately turned a bit sour, and he said, "Xiaoyu, I'm not trying to criticize you, but for such an important event as marriage, how could you not inform your uncle? At the very least, it's a matter of respect, don't you think?"
Qiu Qianyu also felt a bit apologetic and gave a sheepish smile, saying to Liu Qi, "Uncle, this was sothing my father decided on, and since we didn't hold a wedding, it was admittedly sowhat rushed."
Hearing this, Liu Qi's expression grew even darker.
"Hmph, your father is such a useless man, who cannot handle matters properly."
"By the way, where does this nephew-in-law of mine work? Which family's son is he?"
Qiu Qianyu originally didn't want to introduce Jiang Chuan, but since her uncle pressed the issue, she had no choice but to say, "Uncle, he is my driver now, and he's not from any family. His family are farrs in the Yanbei Suburbs."
"What? Farr? And he's your driver?"
Liu Qi was originally quite courteous to Jiang Chuan, but upon hearing of his status, his attitude imdiately changed.
