Chapter 56

Aunt’s Restaurant.

At the dinner table, Zhang Minzhi took the initiative to ask about Li Na and Sun Han.

“Is this boy the younger brother of Sun Mei from our company? I heard that he has no parents since he was a child and grew up with his sister. If you two get together, can you settle down in Hangzhou in the future?”

Zhang Minzhi asked vaguely and did not directly ask whether they could afford to buy a house.

Zheng Yan, who was sitting next to her, took over the conversation and said, “Aunt! You may not know that Sister Na’s boyfriend works at Jiang Heng and is the deputy manager of a department. He has a very good salary and benefits. Yesterday he was willing to spend more than 30,000 to buy Sister Na a bracelet.”

Zhang Minzhi did not take it seriously: “How a couple will live together after marriage cannot be determined by a bracelet. The most important thing is to look at the character of the person. If the family is good, that would be the best. If the family is average, then it depends on whether the boy is motivated. Otherwise, after getting married, it will be too late for you to regret it.”

Liu next to her Zhengqiang glanced at her: “You are really worrying about nothing. How can a young man who works in Jiangheng be bad? He is also a department leader.”

Zhang Minzhi also felt that she had too many concerns. In Hangzhou, Jiangheng Group is indeed a company that everyone wants to get into, but you can’t get in just because you want to. The pre-employment assessment for individuals is very strict. After thinking about this, she said to Li Na: “Yes, if he is a good person, you two can get along well.”

Li Na nodded and responded: “Auntie, don’t worry! I know, by the way! In a few days, on New Year’s Day, Sun Han said he wanted to come to visit you and your uncle-in-law.” 𝙒𝓦🆆.🆅𝓞🄳𝙏𝙬1.𝙘𝘾

“Sure, when you come, let me know in advance so that I can ask the cooking aunt to prepare.”

“I know, auntie.” Li Na agreed with a smile.

After a while! Liu Zhengqiang thought of something, rolled his eyes, glanced at Li Na, and said, “Li Na! Which department is Sun Han the deputy manager of in Jiang Heng? He must be very familiar with the senior leaders of Jiang Heng, right?”

“Jiang Heng has several industries. He is the deputy manager of the investment and development department for commercial development. He must be acquainted with the senior leaders.”

Liu Zhengqiang’s eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and his tone became more enthusiastic.

“That’s great! Recently there’s been a rumor that Jiang Heng wants to buy our current office building. I’m still considering buying the operating rights. Can you ask Sun Han if he can help my uncle-in-law find out if Jiang Heng really wants to buy this office building?”

Li Na thought it was just a small matter of getting information, and without thinking, she readily agreed: “Okay, don’t worry, my uncle-in-law, he’ll come to pick me up later, and I’ll ask him for you.”

“Okay, if this is done, you’ll really help my uncle-in-law a lot!”

As if Li Na had helped him solve his troubles, she enthusiastically picked up some good dishes and put them in her bowl.

Lu Xiaoqiao looked at all this, a little numb.

My uncle-in-law treated her and Li Na in two completely different attitudes today. A few days ago, because she didn’t agree with the pursuit of his friend’s son, he scolded her and said that she had high standards, especially the old lady, and even brought up the previous things.

Zhang Minzhi was also a little disappointed, saying that she was too picky: “Xiao Qiao, your sister Na is in love, and she is going to meet her parents during the Chinese New Year. How long do you have to wait for this?”

Lu Xiaoqiao was a little speechless when asked, and smiled helplessly, not knowing how to answer.

“Ding!”

WeChat prompted that there was a new message.

It was sent by Zhou Qizhen.

In a short while, several messages came. I don’t know what this man wants to do. I told him that I would come to my aunt’s house for dinner today and asked him not to call.

In the end, he didn’t call, but sent messages instead.

Z: [Eat less, I will take you to eat barbecue later. ]

When Lu Xiaoqiao saw this message, her eyes lit up. Just as she was about to type a reply, she was interrupted by Zhang Minzhi. She knocked on the bowl with chopsticks and said unhappily: “You hold your phone all night long. Who are you talking to?”

Lu Xiaoqiao: “…”

Seeing Lu Xiaoqiao being criticized, Zheng Yan gloated: “Yes! Sister Xiaoqiao, you hold your phone all night long to send messages. Who are you talking to? Do you have a boyfriend?”

After listening to Zheng Yan, Zhang Minzhi frowned and looked at Lu Xiaoqiao, waiting for her to explain.

Lu Xiaoqiao really couldn’t understand some of Zheng Yan’s actions. He had never offended her, but she just stared at him.

Seeing her sarcastic expression, Lu Xiaoqiao was speechless. Is it that her love affair is something shameful?

“Yes! It’s my boyfriend.”

Lu Xiaoqiao simply spread out.

“When did you fall in love? How did you meet?” Zhang Minzhi asked her. 𝙒🅆𝙬.𝙑𝓞𝓓𝕋🅆1.𝙘🄲Everyone

at the table was also surprised by Lu Xiaoqiao’s answer, and all turned their eyes to her, especially Zheng Yan, who didn’t expect that what she said casually was actually true.

Lu Xiaoqiao locked the screen of her phone and turned it upside down on the table. She glanced at other people out of the corner of her eye, but her eyes were only on Zhang Minzhi and she said, “We just started dating. We met through a friend.” Lin Lin was her friend, and she and Zhou Qizhen did know each other through Lin Lin, so it wasn’t a lie.

Zhang Minzhi asked again, “Where are you from? What do you do?”

“I’m from Hangzhou, and I don’t have a fixed job. His father runs a business, and now he’s in charge of it.” Zhou Qizhen really didn’t have a fixed job. He did everything. Jiang Heng was indeed his father’s. As for the technology company, my aunt didn’t ask him what kind of work he did.

When Li Na heard Lu Xiaoqiao say that the man was a native of Hangzhou, she looked at her in surprise. Then, when she heard that the man did not have a stable job, her mood immediately turned from gloomy to bright. She curled her lips, thinking that he had to rely on his family for food, which was no match for Sun Han.

Zhang Minzhi was a little worried and said, “Bring him here for me to see if there’s a chance.”

Lu Xiaoqiao agreed, and was glad that her aunt didn’t ask about her age: “Well, we just started dating, and I’ll definitely bring him here for her to see if there’s a chance in the future.”

It’s not that she wanted to hide it, but the completely unequal status gap between the two of them really didn’t want to and didn’t dare to expose it to others so early.

Regardless of whether they succeed or not in the end, this relationship will always be prejudiced and belittled, and she herself will always be the weaker party.

After dinner, Lu Xiaoqiao and Li Na didn’t stay for a while as usual. Zheng Yan said that she ate too much at night, so it was just right to go downstairs to throw away the garbage to digest the food, so the three of them went downstairs together.

Zheng Yan walked in front of Lu Xiaoqiao with Li Na’s arm around her.

“Sister Na, will your boyfriend come to pick you up later?”

“Yes, he’s already waiting outside the community.”

Zheng Yan turned around and asked Lu Xiaoqiao: “Your boyfriend won’t pick you up? Does your boyfriend have a car?”

Seeing that Lu Xiaoqiao ignored her, she continued to mock: “Hey! Lu Xiaoqiao, was that fake bracelet bought for you by your boyfriend?”

“Can you stop learning everything from Sister Na and competing with Sister Na? You look disgusting, and the way you do things is also disgusting.”

Lu Xiaoqiao listened to Zheng Yan’s chattering since she left the house, and finally stopped and stood on the stairs looking down at her.

“Zheng Yan! Are you itching again?”
