720 Girl, You Got Into Character Pretty Quickly
The next morning, Lin Yi woke up to find Ji Qingyan already cooking dumplings.
“Why are we eating dumplings today? Moreover, it’s currently morning.”
“My grandmother is from the Northeast. She said that the custom in the Northeast is to make dumplings when people go out.”
“So, when did you learn how to make dumplings?”
“I bought these. How would I know how to make such a difficult dish? Even if I did, would you dare to eat something that you can’t see the inside of?”
“Madam Lin, your self-awareness is top-notch.”
Ji Qingyan chuckled. “I can’t possibly know everything. Besides, compared to you, don’t I basically know nothing?”
“You’re the first person to make being dumb sound so elegant and refined.”
“Hmph, hurry up and eat. It’ll get cold soon.”
“Okay.”
After dinner, Ji Qingyan returned to her room to put on makeup.
Lin Yi quietly took her phone and opened the Douyu app. He was relieved when he realized that she wasn’t following his account.
This meant that Ji Qingyan would not receive any notifications when he started streaming. This way, he would not have to worry about being discovered.
Apart from that, Lin Yi also turned off the Douyu app notifications.
This way, even if there was official news, Ji Qingyan would not be able to see it.
Perfect.
As for He Yuanyuan, Lin Yi was not too worried about it. If Ji Qingyan had not informed her, she would not have watched the live stream in the first place.
Even so, to avoid any risk, Lin Yi called Qi Xianzhao and asked him to handle this matter.
With his ability to compete for the Best Actor Award, this was a walk in the park for him, Twenty minutes later, Ji Qingyan came downstairs in a beige windbreaker after putting on her makeup.
“I’ll leave first. Be careful when you’re on your business trip. Remember to eat on time.”
“Got it. Don’t worry.”
“Bye.”
Before she left, Ji Qingyan even kissed Lin Yi, a little reluctant to part with him.
Around noontime, Lin Yi went to Zhang Xiaoyu’s house and called her.
“Come down. I’m downstairs.”
“Brother Lin, wait for me. My parents are here. I’ll come down to look for you after I take care of them.”
“Your parents are here?”
“Don’t even mention it. This is so cliché. They’re trying to introduce someone to me. Help me think of a way out.”
“Isn’t it simple? I’ll sacrifice myself and be your boyfriend for five minutes. That should take care of your parents.”
“Really?” Zhang Xiaoyu said with a smile, “Then wouldn’t I be taking advantage of you? How embarrassing.”
“I can hear you drooling.”
“Hehe, I was just fantasizing.” Zhang Xiaoyu smiled foolishly.
“Brother Lin, wait for me. When I’m done with them, I’ll go downstairs to look for you.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up, Zhang Xiaoyu walked out of the room.
There were four people sitting on the sofa, a middle-aged couple, and a young man and woman.
The middle-aged couple’s names were Zhang Guoqiang and Zhao Yalan. They were Zhang Xiaoyu’s parents.
The other young couple was called Zhang Xiaowan and Yu Peng. They were Zhang Xiaoyu’s sister and brother-in-law.
“Girl, I’m talking about serious matters. Why are you running into the room?” Zhang Guoqiang said.
“Didn’t I tell you just now? I’m going on a trip with my boyfriend. He’s already downstairs.”
“Stop fooling us. You just said that you don’t have a boyfriend. Why did one appear out of the blue?”
“I was too embarrassed to tell you just now. Now that he’s here, he’s waiting for me downstairs. If I don’t leave now, I won’t be able to catch the flight.”
“The car is waiting for you downstairs?” Zhang Xiaowan asked.
“Doesn’t your neighborhood prohibit unknown cars from entering? How can he drive into the neighborhood?”
“Maybe he drives a better car. I don’t know what happened.”
This was also what Zhang Xiaoyu was most puzzled about.
The place she lived in was considered a middle-class neighborhood.
Unless they rented a garage here, foreign cars were not allowed to enter.
However, Brother Lin had entered twice in a row now. No one dared to stop him. Zhang Xiaoyu could not think of any other reason for this than his car being too nice.
“Stop fooling me.” Zhang Guoqiang said.
“Your brother-in-law drives a car worth more than half a million dollars, but the security guards stopped us outside. This isn’t about whether the car is nice or a jalopy at all. You’re just making excuses.”
“Daughter, the person I found for you this time was recommended by your neighbor, Auntie Wang. He’s a civil servant and a staff member. His family background is also not bad. He’s definitely qualified to be with you. We’ve arranged to meet tomorrow. Go over and meet him. If you think he’s not bad, then we can close this book.”
“What are you saying? I already said that I have a boyfriend. Why don’t you believe me?”
As she spoke, Zhang Xiaoyu took out her suitcase and said,
“I don’t care. Stay here if you want. I’m leaving now.”
“What’s wrong with you, child? I’m doing this for your own good. You’re already an adult. Why don’t you understand this?”
“I already have a boyfriend. Why are you still introducing me to another man?”
“What do you mean? Do you really think I’m old and muddle-headed?”
“Dad, calm down.” Zhang Xiaowan said.
“Didn’t she say that her boyfriend is here? Let’s go down and take a look. If this person really exists, we’ll help her check him out. If not, there’s still time to talk about the blind date.”
“Why are you bothering to go down? Xiaoyu is obviously running away,” Yu Peng said.
“Then let’s go down and take a look.” Zhang Xiaowan said.
“Xiaoyu is the kind of person who won’t turn back until she hits a wall. It won’t be good if she’s forced into a corner.”
“Alright, let’s go take a look together.” Yu Peng said.
“Coincidentally, I’ll be the standard to compare him to. If his conditions aren’t as good as mine, I won’t easily agree.”
Zhang Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at Yu Peng and thought to herself,
“Do you really think I’m some unknown small streamer? The money I saved up is enough to buy three BMW 5 Series. Why are you still posturing?”
From the beginning to the end, Zhang Xiaoyu did not have a good impression of Yu Peng.
Although his conditions were not bad, he was too stingy.
He had already registered their marriage with her sister, but he had never even bought her ice cream before.
He did not take her sister-in-law seriously at all.
“Suit yourselves. In any case, I’m leaving.”
Zhang Xiaoyu took her luggage and walked out of the house.
Her family followed her into the elevator.
The Zhang family members’ expressions were calm as they waited for the elevator to reach the first floor.
Yu Peng fiddled with his car keys leisurely.
“Xiaoyu, you really have a boyfriend?”
Seeing how calm Zhang Xiaoyu was, Zhang Xiaowan asked curiously.
She didn’t look like she was pretending. It seemed, she really did have a boyfriend. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to act so well.
“Why would I lie to you? Won’t I just end up being exposed?”
Hearing Zhang Xiaoyu say this, Zhang Xiaowan finally believed that she had a boyfriend.
The fire of gossip in her body also burned fiercely.
“Is your boyfriend handsome?”
“He’s super handsome. He’s more than 1.8 meters tall and rich. He also has an eight-pack. He looks perfect no matter how I look at him.”
“Not bad, Xiaoyu. He’s much better than your brother-in-law.”
“Hehe…”
Zhang Xiaoyu smiled. Yu Peng’s qualifications were probably not even comparable to Brother Lin’s fingers.
“Xiaowan, why are you bragging about him at my expense?” Yu Peng said.
“I definitely can’t compete with those fresh meat celebrities, but compared to ordinary people, I shouldn’t be too bad, right?”
“Didn’t you hear what Xiaoyu said? Her boyfriend is already comparable to a young hunk.”
“We’re from an ordinary family. Do you really think such a person would like people like us? Don’t listen to her nonsense.”
“She wouldn’t lie about something like that, would she?”
“You’re too naive. You’ll know the truth when you see it.” Yu Peng said indifferently.
“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. She might just be a big fool. Don’t take her words too seriously.”
Zhang Xiaoyu did not say anything. At this moment, she had to rely on Brother Lin’s looks to slap his face.
The Zhang family walked out of the elevator and pushed open the unit door.
“Honey, you must have been getting impatient.”
Zhang Xiaoyu jogged over and held Lin Yi’s arm with a smile on her face.
Lin Yi was speechless.
Girl, you got into character pretty quickly.
