Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 464 Her Deaf Boyfriend (47)

Xu Yanqing was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, uncle, my work environment requires confidentiality, and I can't come and go as I please. How about this, can I invite you to a nearby cafe?"

"I see." Father Qin expressed his understanding. "Let's skip the coffee. It's time for dinner, after all. How about we go to my house for dinner?"

Xu Yanqing wanted to refuse, but Qin's father would not allow it: "Just be casual, it's just a meal, it's not a formal occasion."

Since his elders had spoken, Xu Yanqing could no longer refuse, so he got into Qin's father's private car.

Compared to Qin Zhen's low-key style, Qin's father's car is obviously very luxurious. Although you can't tell much from the outside, the interior of the car is high-end and expensive at a glance.

The driver didn't say a word the whole time. Xu Yanqing sat in the back seat, feeling very uncomfortable and nervous.

He wondered what Qin's father's purpose was in looking for him. Was it to warn him? Or was it to persuade the two of them to break up?

Xu Yanqing was very nervous. He was not good at dealing with people, and he didn't know how to properly handle such a situation.

The journey of more than 20 kilometers seemed as long as a century.

At first, Qin's father didn't say anything. He looked at the young man next to him slowly and inconspicuously.

Halfway through the journey, Father Qin seemed to notice Xu Yanqing's nervousness and asked, "Your name is Xu Yanqing, right? Then can I call you Xiao Xu?"

"Sure." Xu Yanqing nodded.

"How long have you been dating?"

"Almost two years."

It has indeed been almost two years since the summer vacation between my first and second year of graduate school.

"Don't be nervous. I came to see you for no other reason than to talk to you about your relationship with Qin Zhen... What do you think?"

Xu Yanqing immediately became nervous: "Uncle, I am serious. I know there is a big gap between me and Qin Zhen, but I am trying my best to make up for what I lack."

Father Qin smiled and said, "Well, I know. I checked your file. You're a very good kid."

"But as parents, we always think more than just our children."

"Qin Zhen has a strong personality and is used to giving orders. If she is like this in a relationship, I hope you will be more tolerant."

Xu Yanqing said: "No, Qin Zhen is very good."

Father Qin turned his head to look at Xu Yanqing, and when he mentioned Qin Zhen, there was a gentle smile in his eyes.

After arriving at the Qin family, Xu Yanqing followed Qin's father into the gate of the Qin family villa.

This was his second time visiting the Qin family. The appearance had hardly changed from a few years ago, and the garden outside the gate was full of lush flowers and plants.

Xu Yanqing followed behind Qin's father. The marble floor under his feet was so shiny that it reflected his slightly uneasy figure.

There are several oil paintings hanging on the wall. Even though Xu Yanqing doesn't know much about paintings, he can tell from the frames that they are worth a lot of money.

Mother Qin was wearing a white silk dress and standing elegantly in the living room.

"You are Xiao Xu, right?"

"Hello, Auntie, I'm sorry to bother you so suddenly..."

Mother Qin said, "The food isn't ready yet. Why don't you go to the study and talk first? We can have dinner together when Qin Zhen and Qin Zhi come back."

Xu Yanqing had no choice but to follow Qin's father to the study on the second floor.

...

The study was much more spacious than Xu Yanqing had imagined, and the furniture inside, such as the desk and bookcase, were almost all made of mahogany.

The bookshelf behind the desk is filled with hardcover books and some business trophies and certificates.

The floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the well-manicured back garden.

Soon the servant brought two cups of tea and placed them on the guest table.

"Come on, Xiao Xu, sit down and have a taste. This is ancient Pu'er tea flown in from the southwest."

Xu Yanqing sat on the sofa beside him, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

He doesn't understand coffee or taste tea. They smell good, but taste bitter in his mouth.

Father Qin, however, was enjoying the aroma of tea. He smiled and asked Xu Yanqing, "How does it taste?"

Xu Yanqing smiled awkwardly: "It is indeed very fragrant, but I rarely drink tea, so I can't taste the flavor."

Qin's father was not angry either. He sat on the single sofa next to Xu Yanqing, leaning back.

Although he was wearing simple cotton and linen clothes, he still exuded the aura of a veteran in the business world.

"I understand. You're not that old yet. Few young people like to drink tea these days."

Qin's father suddenly changed the subject and asked, "I see that thing in your ear, is it a hearing aid?"

Xu Yanqing's heart skipped a beat: "Yes, yes."

"I have to wear hearing aids all the time. It's hard, right?"

Father Qin said, "Don't blame me for being too direct. To be honest, I'm not very optimistic about you."

"We older generations have been through it all and are used to preparing for a rainy day. You may be in a good relationship now, but hidden problems will gradually surface over time."

"It's like your ears, your family."

"My generation values ​​matching up with someone of equal social status. I hope you understand."

Xu Yanqing nodded slowly.

What Qin's father said was correct. He has always been clear about these issues.

Sooner or later his ears will become completely deaf. When that time comes, how will they get along?

But Xu Yanqing didn't want to give up just because of the two questions raised by Qin's father.

"Uncle, I have considered the issues you mentioned."

"My physical disability is not something I can choose, and I am working hard to overcome it."

"My family's financial situation is not good, and my parents have done their best. I can rely on myself now. Although I know that I may never be able to catch up with Qin Zhen's assets in my lifetime, I am trying not to hold her back."

Father Qin nodded: "Well, I understand your hard work."

"I was also poor when I was young, so I understand how hard it is to make a living in society."

"The feeling of starting from scratch is something that those second-generation rich people cannot understand."

Changing the subject, Qin's father added, "After all, it's not easy to cross the social ladder. Some people spend their entire lives trying to reach the threshold of the upper class."

Xu Yanqing almost immediately understood what Qin's father meant.

He was afraid that Xu Yanqing was with Qin Zhen just for money.

Xu Yanqing pursed his lips. "Uncle, I understand your concerns. Qin Zhen and I grew up in very different environments. I owe much of my current situation to Qin Zhen."

"I'm grateful to her, but my admiration for her is not based on her sponsorship of me."

"I like her, just as a person."

"Whether she is from a wealthy family or not."

Qin's father disagreed: "Anyone can say nice things."

He said slowly, "Do you know the market value of Zhongtian Entertainment? How much assets are under Qin Zhen's name? When faced with huge wealth, human nature cannot withstand the test."

"You say you only like her as a person, but she was shaped by her upbringing. Without money, she wouldn't be who she is today."

"If it weren't for you, she would have found someone more suitable. The help that person could bring to her could help Zhongtian reach a higher level."
