Chapter 115 Dad Qiu Comes to Magic City
Early in the morning, there was a knock on the door of the rental house. Qiu Yingying, who was sleeping soundly, scratched her hair and got up reluctantly.
Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer should be going to work at this time. Who would come knocking on their door at this time?
Qiu Yingying opened the door and was a little surprised to see the person standing at the door. She didn't expect that her father would come to Shanghai to see her.
"Dad, why didn't you tell me beforehand when you came over? This way I could pick you up."
Father Qiu felt really distressed when he saw his daughter's slightly slovenly appearance. Her eyes were red, she was listless, and her hair was messy. It was obvious that she had not slept well.
"Dad, can you please come and see me? I didn't explain it clearly on the phone last night. How did you lose your good job?
Your mother and I were very worried about you, so I rushed here overnight. Look at you now, why are you so listless?
Young people should be full of vigor and vitality. If we lose our jobs, we can always find another one. We must not lose confidence. You haven't had breakfast yet, right? Dad will make some for you."
Qiu Yingying knew that the reason her father rushed to Shanghai was not only because he was worried about her, but also because he was afraid that she would go back to her hometown, because her father always hoped that she could gain a foothold in Shanghai.
As soon as I mention going back to my hometown to work, they will react very strongly. In their opinion, no matter how badly I do in Shanghai, it is still Shanghai, and going back to my hometown is a shameful thing.
While Mr. Qiu was cooking, Qiu Yingying told him the reason why she lost her job, and of course she also emphasized how hateful Manager Bai was and how Zhou Chen helped her get the compensation back.
"Dad, Zhou Chen helped me get back more than 10,000 yuan in compensation. I still have money on me now, so you and mom don't have to worry about me.
I can take my time looking for a job. Once I've adjusted my mindset, I'll go find one. Don't worry, I won't be going back to my hometown."
Qiu Yingying brought up Zhou Chen's matter deliberately, of course her purpose was to hope that her father would help her check it out. To be honest, Qiu Yingying didn't want to leave Zhou Chen at all, and she said good things about Zhou Chen so that she could leave a good impression on her father.
In the future, when their relationship is exposed, Mom and Dad will not be too disgusted with Zhou Chen, which will make it easier for them to accept Zhou Chen as a person.
As expected, Father Qiu immediately followed Qiu Yingying's words and said, "Yingying, I won't interfere too much in your love affairs, but I hope you can open your eyes and learn to protect yourself.
Dad knows that you are outspoken and simple-minded, but you must be vigilant in interpersonal relationships and don’t believe everything others say.
Just like that Manager Bai, it is obvious that he is not a good person. Fortunately, your neighbor Zhou Chen helped you see his true face, otherwise you would have fallen into the trap.
By the way, Dad finally came over and said he wanted to treat Zhou Chen to a meal to thank him for helping you so much."
This is certainly what Qiu Yingying wants to see. Although she did not mention her relationship with Zhou Chen, in Qiu Yingying's view, this is equivalent to meeting the parents.
This can be considered as a way for Qiu Yingying to save face. After all, Zhou Chen gave her a few days to think about it. Perhaps she could take this opportunity to express her attitude so that it would not appear too embarrassing.
"Dad, isn't it a bit too hasty to invite Zhou Chen to dinner? He's at work now, so how can he have time to come and have dinner with you?
Otherwise, I can call Zhou Chen and ask him. If he is free, we can treat him to a meal. If not, forget it. After all, everyone is busy with work now, and we can't cause trouble for him. "
Qiu Yingying didn't say anything too definite. After all, her relationship with Zhou Chen couldn't be known to her family for the time being. Qiu Yingying was also afraid that Zhou Chen didn't want to see his father.
After all, their relationship is not open to the public. If Mr. Qiu knew that Zhou Chen had slept with his daughter, I guess Mr. Qiu would not just treat Zhou Chen to a meal, but would break Zhou Chen's legs.
Seeing his daughter running out to make a phone call, Mr. Qiu was speechless. What can't you say in front of me?
"Hey, Zhou Chen, my dad came to Shanghai because I lost my job. After he learned about your help, he wanted to treat you to a meal. What do you think?"
Zhou Chen, who was at work, was shocked when he received a call from Qiu Yingying. Qiu Yingying's father came to his house. Could he be looking for trouble with him?
Besides, Mr. Qiu actually wants to treat me to a meal. Is this not a Hongmen Banquet?
Zhou Chen asked softly with a guilty conscience: "Qiu Yingying, you didn't tell your father about our relationship, did you? Why do I feel that he has bad intentions?
Also, how are you thinking about the thing I asked you to consider? Your answer determines whether I go or not.
If you want to leave me, then forget about your uncle treating you to a meal. If you want to break up, let's do it completely.
If you stay with me, you must go to the dinner that uncle invites you to. After all, he is my future father-in-law, so you must serve him well."
Qiu Yingying was stunned when she heard Zhou Chen's words. She didn't expect Zhou Chen to ask her to express her opinion now, and that he would have different attitudes based on her expression. You are too realistic.
Qiu Yingying felt that this was a way to save herself, so she immediately stated, "Hmph, then I'll give you a chance to show off. You must serve my dad well."
Zhou Chen laughed out loud. Why is he being so arrogant? What he meant was, did you, Qiu Yingying, choose to be with me?
"Qiu Yingying, are you saying you want to be with me?
In this case, I'd better make some things clear first. Please don't get angry about this in the future. I hope you can live in peace with Guan Guan. I will treat you both equally.
In addition, you must give me accurate information about what your parents like, how long they will stay in Shanghai, and when they will leave. This will make it easier for me to arrange dinners and buy gifts.
It's a rare opportunity for my uncle to come to Shanghai, and as his future son-in-law, I must make a good impression on him."
The word "future son-in-law" immediately made Qiu Yingying, who was on the phone, jump up. She no longer looked listless as she had in the morning, her face full of excitement.
Even Mr. Qiu, who was cooking, felt something was wrong. It was just a phone call, what was there to get excited about?
"Okay, okay, calm down. I can feel you starting to yell again from this end of the phone. Ask me about the question I just asked and text me back later. I'll arrange dinner then."
With Zhou Chen's comfort, the excited Qiu Yingying finally calmed down. After hanging up the phone, she tiptoed back to the rental house.
Then he leaned against the door and poked his head out to ask Mr. Qiu, "Dad, Zhou Chen said that since it's a rare opportunity for you to come over, he should treat you to a meal.
I want to ask when you're going back. My suggestion is that I take you to Shanghai for a stroll, and then we can get together after Zhou Chen gets off work. What do you think?"
Looking at his daughter's cautious expression, Mr. Qiu suddenly understood something and deliberately asked, "Zhou Chen is free after get off work, but I booked a ticket for 4 p.m., what should I do?"
Qiu Yingying immediately became anxious when she heard this. She didn't want to let her chance to meet the parents go to waste, so she quickly said, "Then I'll go tell Zhou Chen to change the time. Let's set it for 2 p.m."
Seeing that Qiu Yingying wanted to run out to make a phone call, Qiu's father immediately stopped her. It seemed that his daughter had a special relationship with Zhou Chen.
"Okay, I'm just kidding. It's time to get off work, so let's just say we're treating people to a meal to express our gratitude. We can't delay their work.
Then I'll book a ticket for 7pm, so I won't be late."
When Qiu Yingying heard this, she nodded happily and went out to inform Zhou Chen.
