C77

In the Qin residence.

European style architecture grand, compatible with splendor and solemnity, there is nothing inelegant. The more she followed Qin Ziang inside, the more An Xiaochu was apprehensive. Just where did Qin Ziang bring her to? The scenery here was completely unlike a normal restaurant, it was more like a rich person's house.

Could it really be what she was thinking? An Xiaochu's face was wooden, various thoughts ran through her mind, she did not even notice when her own hand was held by Qin Ziang.

"Zi Ang, Xiao Chu, why have you just arrived?" This voice was a little familiar. An Xiaochu subconsciously looked towards the source of the voice and saw Old Madam Qin's kind face in front of him.

She was standing at the entrance, wearing a qipao embroidered with black velvet and with a string of white pearls around her neck. A feeling of magnificence and nobility assaulted her senses.

"Grandmother, how long have you been standing here?" Qin Ziang pulled An Xiaochu's hand and walked a few steps to Old Madam Qin's side, then released An Xiaochu, and supported the elderly man into the hall.

When did he take his hand? An Xiaochu lowered her head and glanced at his right hand which was hanging by her side, the expression on her face somewhat complex. From the moment she saw Old Madam Qin, she knew what kind of place this was.

In the Qin family.

Why did Qin Ziang bring her here? Judging from Old Madam Qin's previous performance, she had obviously come back today with advance notice. What exactly did Qin Ziang want to do? An Xiaochu's mind was in a mess, and his footsteps naturally slowed down.

The two grandsons who were walking a little bit in front of her realized that An Xiaochu was not following them after they finished speaking a few words of "flesh and blood".

"Xiaochu, come quickly. Grandmother will bring you in for some delicious food." Old Madam Qin turned sideways and extended a hand towards An Xiaochu. An Xiaochu hesitated for a few seconds, and consciously looked at Qin Ziang, only after seeing that his face was moist did he quickly step forward to support Old Madam Qin.

Two people, one on the left and one on the right, accompanied Old Madam Qin inside. Before they had taken a few steps, a middle-aged woman rushed out, dressed in elegant clothes.

"Mom, why did you run out in the blink of an eye?" When the middle-aged woman saw Old Madam Qin, she felt relieved.

"Yan Qing, I'm just going to see Zi Ang and Zi Ang's wife. What are you so anxious for?" Old Madam Qin was not angry after being 'blamed'. Instead, he explained it to the middle-aged woman with a smile.

Hearing Old Madam Qin's words, Yan Qing's gaze swept across the three of them and landed on An Xiaochu's body.

"Mrs. Qin, long time no see." When Qin Ziang received the gaze of Yan Qing, the corner of his mouth curved into a smile. Mrs. Qin glared at him coldly. Then, he let out a light snort and ignored him.

Mrs. Qin? Isn't this the name of the person who called Qin Ziang the last time?!

"Hello." Unable to figure out the identity of this Mrs. Qin, An Xiaochu could only nod towards her politely.

An Xiaochu was originally standing in front of her, so their gazes naturally met in the air.

Yan Qing looked carefully at An Xiaochu's appearance and bearing, and realised that although she was not an absolute beauty, she had a certain beauty, and could be considered to be compatible with her son. The most important thing was that the girl had a pair of beautiful eyes. The peach blossoms were in her eyes, so it was rare for her to see such limpid eyes.

An Xiaochu knew that Yan Qing was sizing her up, and an unexplainable nervousness and panic suddenly rose in her heart. On the surface, he tried his best to hold back his laughter.

"Mom, let's talk inside." Yan Qing's gaze left An Xiaochu and spoke gently to Old Madam Qin.

Old Lady Qin stood for a long time, her legs were sore, but after hearing Yan Qing's words, she immediately nodded, and allowed An Xiaochu and Qin Ziang to carry her to the living room.

Seeing Qin Ziang and an unknown girl supporting Old Lady Qin through the door, the younger ones stood up and greeted them. But from the beginning till the end, that gaze had never left An Xiaochu and Qin Ziang.

An Xiaochu was completely uncomfortable with the "attention gift", the smile on her face was almost frozen. But she knew that if she showed the slightest bit of cowardice now, she would give the impression of being petty. Ever since she knew that this was the Qin family and these people were all Qin Ziang's relatives, An Xiaochu became extremely cautious, and wanted to show off a little bit more in her heart.

Resisting the embarrassment in her heart, An Xiaochu nodded to the people in the guest hall, not saying a word.

At this moment, a wave of warmth came from his hands. Qin Ziang held her hand and brought her to his side.

This small action was enough to show the intimacy between the two.

"Brother, who is this beauty? Why don't you introduce her?" A boy, who was probably around eighteen or nineteen years old, winked at An Xiaochu.

Who is she? An Xiaochu's heart tightened. Until now, she still did not know what identity Qin Ziang took her to the Qin family.

"Her name is An Xiaochu."

Qin Ziang glanced at the young boy, and introduced him with a loud voice.

He only said a name, not the relationship between the two of them. An Xiaochu's heartbeat calmed down, and what followed after was a wave of faint disappointment.

"Come, let me introduce you." Qin Ziang held An Xiaochu's hand and led her around the living room. He introduced his mother, uncle, aunt and younger brother to An Xiaochu. As for his grandparents, An Xiaochu had only met them last night.

The 'Mrs. Qin' Yan Qing had spoken of was actually Qin Ziang's mother, his biological mother! How could he call his mother that! An Xiaochu secretly rolled her eyes at Qin Ziang when no one was looking.

Qin Ziang had purposely messed with her, last time he had let her pick up the phone from Mrs. Qin.

Mrs. Qin's meaningful look clearly misunderstood the relationship between the two.

Oh, that's not right. Everyone had misunderstood the relationship between the two of them.

Qin Ziang pinched An Xiaochu's palm, signaling her not to be distracted.

An Xiaochu lifted her head and met Qin Ziang's gaze. Their gazes "fought" in the air for a long time. In the end, she was interrupted by Qin Ziang's younger cousin, who was also the youngster who just made fun of An Xiaochu, Qin Baixi.

"Big Bro, Big Sis Xiaoxiao, how can you all give out dog food in front of everyone? As the only single dog in this family, I must speak for justice and condemn you!"

Qin Baixi's voice was not soft, directly attracting the gazes of everyone present. Under the teasing gazes of the crowd, An Xiaochu's face was entirely flushed red, to the point where they couldn't restrain it any longer.

"Do you know why you're still single?" Qin Ziang took a step forward, and used his body to block most of the "attention gift" for An Xiaochu.

"Why?" Qin Baixi had always held an attitude of reverence towards his own older cousin. Now that he heard him say this, he thought that Qin Wufa might be able to point out the crux of his problem with being single. Qin Baixi's eyes sparkled with interest.

From An Xiaochu's angle, she could only see half of Qin Ziang's face. A person as cold and proud as Qin Ziang actually was able to understand the other party's feelings? An Xiaochu didn't trust him!

"Because your secret is still ugly!"

Indeed! When An Xiaochu saw Qin Baixi's complexion darken at a speed visible to the naked eye, he couldn't bear it any longer and finally burst out laughing.

Qin Baixi pitifully glanced at An Xiaochu, and the expression on her face looked as if she was about to cry.

"Hmph, what pot with what?" "Sister Xiaoxiao, you're just as bad as my big brother!"

Qin Baixi roared, and after speaking these words, he turned and fled.

Only An Xiaochu and Qin Ziang was left staring at each other.

During dinner, everyone at this table were from the Qin family, and only An Xiaochu was an outsider. Mrs. Qin reckoned that she would feel uncomfortable so she specially changed her seat. On the left side of An Xiaochu was Qin Ziang, while on the right side was Grandma Qin, who was sitting in the main seat.

Grandma Qin liked An Xiaochu, and the entire dining room continuously guided An Xiaochu to speak more.

After getting along with him for a while, An Xiaochu knew clearly that there was a huge difference between the Qin family and the Wealthy Class family in her memories. The formality in her heart slowly dissipated, and the guests of this meal were all happy.

When they left the Qin household, Mrs. Qin Yan Qing personally sent An Xiaochu and her out. He even reminded An Xiaochu to come and accompany her when he had time.

"Qin Ziang, do you owe me an explanation?" Just as he was getting off the car, An Xiaochu saw that Qin Ziang still had not made any movements, and could not hold it in anymore.

"I'll treat you to a meal, and you'll agree readily. Is there a problem with that?" Qin Ziang looked innocently at An Xiaochu, her gaze almost saying, "You're making trouble for nothing, woman."

"Why didn't you tell me in advance that we were going to your house? That would make us look alike …" It's easy for people to misunderstand! "

"Looks like you are meeting with your parents? "Don't worry, you did very well just now. Everyone likes you very much." Back at the Qin family, An Xiaochu was very sensible and gentle, and the Qin family was very satisfied with how obedient she was. Otherwise, Mrs. Qin would not have asked An Xiaochu to go to the Qin family to talk to her.

To be honest, other than in front of him, An Xiaochu was always baring her fangs and brandishing her claws. In front of others, An Xiaochu was a girl who could easily win the favor of others. For example, the Uncle Yao.

Qin Ziang didn't know whether he should cry or laugh because of this "exception".

"Who told you that!?" Forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with you. Qin Ziang was obviously asking the wrong question and trying to avoid the topic. An Xiaochu was annoyed, she opened the car door and ran away.

Qin Ziang did not stop her either. Watching her slender figure disappear into the corridor, and after a while, the lights on the sixth floor lit up. Only then did he let out a helpless chuckle.

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

An Xiaochu's eyelids constantly twitched since she woke up in the morning. Could it be that something bad was going to happen? That's not right, today was the day she received her salary. Logically speaking, it should be a good thing.

Only the heavens would know how much An Xiaochu longed for this salary.
