Jiang Min seemed to be standing in a house with an old building, a typical old-fashioned house that is still very well maintained, although some of the wood there does look right if it is worn out. The paint isn't as bright as it used to be, the color is starting to fade, and the polish there isn't as bright as it used to be.
Again, Jiang Min seemed to take a deep breath. It had been a long time since he had left this place since the last time this family had a bit of success, but now it seemed that this family looked materially in trouble from every angle.
"Mr. what are you doing?" a middle-aged woman whose hair was already full of grey greeted Jiang Min. The stooped woman looked at Jiang Min with a playful expression on her face.
"Oh madam, I'm looking for the Liu family, why does their house seem so quiet like this?" he asked at last. The older woman immediately gasped, and then she smiled very broadly again.
"Oh, the Liu family is going to the hospital. But will be back soon. If you want to wait, or you can wait at my house," the old woman offered. She could see that this figure in front of her was a rich man. How could she not? She knew enough from her appearance that she wore an expensive and neat tuxedo and an expensive car that looked classy at the end of the road. "Are you the son-in-law of the Liu family?" asked the old woman again.
Jiang Min seemed to pull an eyebrow. How could he not? He didn't even know that even in Qiao Xin's hometown, this news had already spread.
"What do you mean, madam?" Jiang Min asked in the end because he was utterly clueless about this.
"So you're not the son-in-law of the Liu family?" asked the old woman, somewhat disappointed. How could she not? From what she knew from people about the news, it shocked many people in this village. "So, some time ago the Liu family had a young man who was said to be very handsome. The young man is also stylish like you, like a fairly successful businessman, bringing his luxury car along with his parents. And that young man was apparently the future husband of the first daughter of the Liu family who came to propose. It seems that the family of her future husband is not just anyone. They brought a lot of food as well as luxury goods. In fact, all the neighbors got a lot of food and luxury goods from the Liu family, and from then on the Liu family became very happy. All of the Liu family's debts were paid off, and even Mrs. Liu's hospital fees were all covered. Qiao Xin had truly met a very good man, because it was rare for a husband to be willing to care about his wife's family, and Qiao Xin's husband had proven that. her husband's family is also very friendly, along the way they didn't park their car right in front of the Liu family's residence, but at the end of the road out of respect for the residents here who stood along the front of the house to see them. I'm really very happy, even though it's not their family. Finally, Qiao Xin can help her family by getting a husband who is very extraordinary,"
Hearing this, Jiang Min seemed speechless. How not, this is very strange. Is it true that Qiao Xin has a husband? And who is the husband who is said to be very friendly and rich?
Jiang Min seemed to be clenching his fists, he was very curious, but he tried to shake off whatever was in his head. How could he not? Because after all, Jiang Min had never heard of or knew Qiao Xin was close to any man except….
Jiang Min seemed to shake his head, then he smiled sweetly at the older woman, it was getting late, and if he didn't leave, then Qiao Xin would come rushing over, and things would get even messier.
"Alright, madam it seems it's getting too late and I have to go somewhere. Once again I thank you for telling me so much. Oh yes, convey my regards to the Liu family, tomorrow when my business is done I will come back again."
After Jiang Min left, Qiao Xin's mother and younger sister returned with Qiao Xin's uncle. They seem to open the door then sit relaxed at home. How not, they are delighted with all the results of the examination from the doctor. Even now, Ms. Qiao Xin doesn't use a wheelchair anymore. She was able to walk normally, and her health was gradually improving, as usual. It was just that Qiao Xin's mother was still not allowed to overthink heavy things and couldn't be too tired from her work.
"Oh my God, I feel like I have been reborn. I never thought I could recover like this. and all thanks to Xiao Long, he is a very good son-in-law to his wife's family," Qiao Xin's mother said. Qiao Xin's uncle couldn't help but be silent. How could he who knew that Xiao Long and Qiao Xin's marriage was only a contract marriage was also worried? How not, if Qiao Xin's mother found out about this matter one day, what would happen?
Of course, this was not good, and Qiao Xin's mother's health was at stake.
"Shouldn't we be prepared? Because Qiao Xin is coming later?" Qiao Xin's uncle said, looking for another discussion. Qiao Xin's mother seemed to hit her head.
"You're right, we have to prepare everything. Qiao Xin must really miss my cooking. She also came home because she wanted to attend her campus reunion, although I was hoping that Xiao Long would come, but why did she come alone," said Qiao Xin's mother later. Uncle Qiao Xin seemed to take a deep breath.
"Don't you know that Xiao Long is busy at work? Although we ourselves don't know for sure what department he works in or where, but for some reason just looking at his house I think that Xiao Long is not a random person in his city. You know, even his house is nicer and luxurious than Jiang Min's house. I wonder if Xiao Long is also a young entrepreneur like Jiang Min who owns a company like Jiang Min too? I'm really very curious about it."
"What do you think of this? Who do you think our Qiao Xin is? Beauty pageant winner or rich kid? How can you think that far?"
"Are you guys talking behind my back?"
Everyone turned their heads when they saw Qiao Xin in the doorway. They immediately came over to Qiao Xin and then hugged Qiao Xin very tightly.
"God, we miss you so much, Qiao Xin. But at least you're going home a lot more often now than when you were with Jia Min," Qiao Xin's mother said. Qiao Xin seemed to be smiling, and then she hit her mother's arm.
"Mom, don't talk about the past. Come on, I don't like it if Jia Min continues to be discussed in this way," Qiao Xin said. She immediately sat on the chair and then ate some of the food already on the table. Qiao Xin didn't expect her family to still care about her like this.
"Are you hungry?" Qiao Xin nodded perfectly. "Eat a lot, please. Oh yeah, who are you here with?" Qiao Xin's mother asked again.
"I came here with the Xiao Long family's driver, I told him to get off he didn't want to be shy. So he came right back home after helping me unload my things outside."
Qiao Xin's uncle and Qiao Xin's mother looked at each other. How could I not if the family had a driver? Wouldn't that show that the family is wealthy?
How not rich, even in his extensive and luxurious house, there are many servants,
"Qiao Xin, may I ask you a question?" asked her mother Qiao Xin in the end. Qiao Xin only raised an eyebrow while her mouth was still busy eating the food on the table. "That Han family, are they a mafia family?" he continued, which managed to make Qiao Xin choke.
"Mother, what are you saying? how can you say that the Han family is a mafia family, of course not!"
"We are just feeling suspicious, sister Qiao Xin. How not, brother Xiao Long seems to be from a really rich family. From him paying off so many family debts, helping Mom's hospital costs even to the hospital for all of us if we are sick, his expensive clothes, his car, and his house, and now all these things you use I'm sure nothing is cheap at all. everything is expensive, right? I am sure of it,"
Hearing this, Qiao Xin couldn't help but be silent, and even she could only put her chopsticks on the table and swallow hard. This is a bad thing. Moreover, it is a very annoying thing to bring up who the Han family is.
"You don't have to worry about who and what Han family background is, they are a family with very clean backgrounds, they are very good even I am not there like a daughter-in-law to them, but like their daughter. they love me even more than they love Xiao Long. They had lost their daughter once, so they felt that once I entered their family, I could make them let go of that longing. and whether they are rich or not, you can assume that the Han family is not as bad as Jiang Min's. Granted the Han family had some business, that's what actually happened, but they weren't mafia kingpins or anything. trust me,"
"But we-"
"Mom, I think I need to get ready soon." Qiao Xin cut off the conversation, and then she glanced at her uncle.. "Uncle, can you help me lift my suitcase outside? I want to get ready for the campus reunion first."
