Chapter 129: Chapter 129: After Raising a Child and Becoming Rich in That Era, the Delicate Beauty Was Spoiled 49 Tis
“Dad, if I told you that you will be joining Grandpa and Mom in the scramble for your daughter-in-law soon, would you believe ?” Qin Lianqi closed his book and casually looked over at his father.
Qin’s father didn’t think twice, flicking his magazine and puffing out his beard in disbelief, “Impossible! It’s one thing for your mom and grandpa to jump around competing for soone, but do I look like that kind of person?!”
Qin’s father waved his hands, indicating that what Qin Lianqi was saying was complete nonsense.
Qin Lianqi just nodded and then casually dropped a bombshell.
“What if I told you that Ruanruan is actually Zisu?”
This sentence dropped like a bomb in the living room.
...
Both the elder Qin and Madam Qin looked at Su Zhiruan, who simply nodded calmly.
Qin Lianqi spoke in an even tone, even with a smile on his face, his expression serene as he leisurely raised his eyes to look at his father.
Of course, Qin’s father wouldn’t believe it and laughed loudly, “What are the odds of that in this world! If you really have nothing better to do, you might as well go gain so experience in the company.”
“Uncle, if you are talking about the Zisu who published a few modest pieces in a magazine, then that would be ,” Su Zhiruan said modestly, yet it was clear that Qin’s father was now overwheld by the heavy news that she was Zisu!
Hard to imagine!
“What?” Even Elder Qin dropped what he was doing and looked at Su Zhiruan with an incredulous expression, “No way, is this for real? Could the world actually be this coincidental?”
“It’s true,” Qin Lianqi casually picked up a nearby magazine, pointing to an article, “This one right here, after Ruanruan wrote it, I personally submitted it for her.”
At this mont, Qin’s father was completely flabbergasted.
“You, you…” He looked so agitated he was almost lost for words.
At that mont, Madam Qin also stopped her grooming of Su Zhiruan, exchanging a knowing look with the elder Qin, reaching a consensus in a brief second.
“Dad, I’ve thought it over, and Ruanruan can study design with while learning physics with you, right?” With the way Madam Qin was treating Su Zhiruan like her own daughter now, she stood in front of Su Zhiruan, shielding her from Qin’s father’s stunned gaze.
Just monts ago, Elder Qin had thought about snatching her away from Madam Qin to teach her physics, but now, seeing the possibility of another individual taking up his granddaughter-in-law’s precious ti, he didn’t hesitate to agree with Madam Qin, “You’re right, Ruanruan should develop in all areas. If she joins our Institute of Physics, her future will surely be bright!”
The elder emphasized the words “Institute of Physics” deliberately.
Su Zhiruan looked at Qin Lianqi’s smile with a sense of helplessness.
She had co to et his parents with Qin Lianqi, yet sohow the situation had evolved into quite the farce.
It was more like Qin Lianqi was introducing her to several ntors.
Only at this point did Qin’s father finally snap out of the absurdity, shouting, “No!!”
All eyes in the room instantly turned to him.
Qin’s father imdiately stood up, his eyes blazing as he looked at Su Zhiruan, “Daughter-in-law, Dad has been watching your work for years now, and you have far more talent in literature than in design or physics!”
“You were born for this line of work! You are naturally suited for literature! Studying physics is simply burying your talent!!” Qin’s father greatly admired her and cast a glare at Grandpa Qin.
Grandpa Qin hadn’t expected his own son to anger him so much in this matter, and just as he was about to retort sothing.
That’s when Madam Qin stepped in to intervene, “This is my daughter! What are you doing? Whether my treasured daughter studies physics or literature, she should be nurtured properly! Next year she will be able to join at the Milan conference. Following you old n around is just so dull!”
“Your daughter? She’s clearly my daughter!” Qin’s father had lost all his authority as the head of the family, having searched for several years for an author he admired, only to find out it was his daughter-in-law, and now she was about to be taken away by his wife as her daughter!
Grandpa Qin was even more direct, tapping his cane, “Let go of my granddaughter!”
The three of them were arguing endlessly in the living room.
Su Zhiruan looked down at her hand, which Qin Lianqi was holding. She carefully scratched the palm of his hand and then raised her head to look at him, “Mr. Qin, has your house always been this lively?”
“As far as I can rember, they have always been quite composed. It must be because they like you too much,” Qin Lianqi whispered near her ear, “Guess what I want to do now?”
“In the dayti… and at your house…” Su Zhiruan had long been familiar with that look in his eyes, these past evenings. She glanced at the bright sun outside, gestured to Qin Lianqi and said, “Not now.”
“No, just a kiss.”
At that mont, Qin Lianqi looked like a fox who had just had his wish fulfilled, with a sly smile, he then straightened the hair behind the girl’s ear.
In the chaotic living room, he savored her lips with a brief touch.
Su Zhiruan saw how the bickering trio abruptly fell silent and turned to look their way.
“Caught?” Qin Lianqi raised an eyebrow, let go of her, then stood upright and faced his parents and grandfather.
He was not at all polite at that mont, “Here I am, the fiance, and you want to turn my fiancée into a sister?”
“She’s your daughter-in-law, your granddaughter-in-law, and I’m not about to experience the mishap of a wife turning into a sister.” Qin Lianqi took Su Zhiruan’s hand, “I love Ruanruan very much, and this matter of her becoming like a sister, it can never happen in this lifeti.”
The three looked away, sowhat afraid to et Qin Lianqi’s gaze.
Madam Qin had taken to Su Zhiruan the mont she saw her, all fair and pretty, eloquent, yet also gentle, considerate, and understanding. She liked her on sight.
She had only Qin Lianqi as a son, but since he had always been independent and not one to act spoilt, she had always longed for a sweet, adorable little daughter. As a designer, she wanted a daughter to dress up, to use as a model for designing clothes.
From the first mont she saw Su Zhiruan, Madam Qin wanted to take her as her daughter. Qin Lianqi, seeing that she was serious, was also taken aback and had to talk hard to dissuade her. But now, seeing her whole family wanting to claim Su Zhiruan, she wouldn’t stand for it.
Su Zhiruan smiled warmly and let go of Qin Lianqi’s hand. She bowed slightly toward the three elders.
“Thank you, Uncle, Aunt, and Grandfather for your high regard. It’s an honor to know you,” she said softly but firmly, warmly and politely. The three of them stepped forward, wanting to pull her up, but Su Zhiruan stood up, smiled quietly, “Learning is endless. If Uncle, Aunt, and Grandfather are willing, please feel free to teach . I will not give up on design, nor will I stop creating, and I certainly will not give up physics.”
The three felt much relieved to hear Su Zhiruan speak in such a way.
