Qin Ce said lightly, "The woman surnamed Wu was also arranged by you. Why don't you tell her? If you say so, wouldn't the granddaughter-in-law have it?"
The old man choked up. Miss Wu was the granddaughter of his former chess friend. The chess friend said that his granddaughter was much better. Today, he took this opportunity to call her to have a look. But as soon as the girl entered the door, she was picky. He really didn't like it.
Therefore, Qin Ce did not stop him when he introduced himself.
The old man insisted on making a sentence, "This star is different."
Qin Ce asked back, "What's the difference?"
"What do you want me to say? Anyway, this is a good girl. You should take good care of it yourself. Your company has moved back to China, so you should not go abroad, right? Get married early. Don't let grandpa and I be blind."
Qin Ce frowned slightly and his face sank a little. "What are you talking about!"
Although the voice was not loud, the inadvertent momentum made the old man feel a little cowardly for a moment, but this also showed that his words still played a role, and the little old man became arrogant again in an instant.
"Hmm, I'm eighty years old this year. How many years can I live? Anyway, it's up to you. If you want to recognise me as a grandfather, marry Xingxing back to me. If it weren't for her these years, I might have died in the house without anyone knowing.
When Qin Ce heard the words, he was also silent. His eyes fell somewhere, as if he was thinking.
He heard what this woman said to her grandfather just now. Because of the dowry, he quarrelled with her boyfriend. Now he came to the old man's place to take eye drops. He didn't think this woman was very good, but he could do it. Let's see how capable she is.
On the other side, Qiao Xing returned home and fell headlong on the sofa.
Her mind was full of what happened today. She turned around irritably and curled up in the corner of the sofa.
She was about to take a nap and forget what happened today when her mobile phone suddenly rang.
Qiao Xing picked it up and looked at it. It turned out to be a message sent to her by Qin Ce.
Before she had time to change the remarks, Qin Ce's WeChat name only had a capitalised Q, and the avatar was a graffiti.
Click on WeChat, Qin Ce said: At eight o'clock in the evening, you make an appointment.
Qiao Xing was slightly stunned. Is he serious?
She typed in the chat window. After typing, she deleted it again and deleted it. Finally, she only replied with a good word.
It's better to talk about anything in person.
Qiao Xing just finished replying, and another phone call came in, which was marked with "uncle"
Seeing this comment, Qiao Xing frowned. She hesitated and answered the phone.
"Hello, uncle."
"Star, how's your house search going? Your cousin will come back to get married next month. It's not that my uncle won't let you live there. It's just that we have to sell this house and go downtown to buy a new house, so..."
Qiao Xing was silent for a moment, "I know, I'm already looking at the house, and I'll move out in a few days."
"I'm really sorry."
"It's okay. This is also your house." Qiao Xing paused, "Uncle, may I ask how much this house is sold for?"
"Oh, the old house is not worth much. They pay up to 500,000 yuan."
500,000...
When Qiao Xing heard this number, his heart moved slightly.
Qiao Xing has lived here since she was very young. When she was a child, her parents divorced, and no one wanted to care about her. It was her grandmother who brought her up.
This house carries her memories of more than 20 years.
Before my grandmother passed away, I told her not to let my uncle sell the house.
But this house is not hers, and she has no say. If she has money, she can buy this house.
Somehow, Qiao Xing suddenly thought of Grandpa Qin's words, but it was only for a second, and she suppressed the idea.
Soon, at eight o'clock in the evening, Qin Ce knocked outside on time.
Qiao Xing didn't want to go out, so he made an appointment at home. Anyway, it was close.
Hearing the knock on the door, Qiao Xing immediately opened the door.
Qin Ce stood outside and looked so close. He was really tall. Qiao Xing had to raise his head to look at him.
He changed into a white shirt, and overall he didn't look as cold as during the day.
In fact, Qiao Xing has been remembering Qin Ce just now, but the time is too long, and she is young, so she can't remember many things.
In my impression, there was only a silent boy. Every time she went to Grandpa Qin's house, he locked himself in the room. If he had played together, he had eaten together at most, and it seemed that there was nothing else. "Is it convenient to come in?" Qin Ce opened his mouth to interrupt her thoughts.
Qiao Xing came back to his senses and hurriedly let him in. "Come in, you don't have to change your shoes."
After saying that, she went back to pour water for him.
Qin Ce entered the room and took a look. There were no men's slippers in the shoe cabinet, and the room was also tidy.
The two sat down on the sofa, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Qiao Xing couldn't help but say first, "Well, what do you mainly want to talk about?"
Qin Ce leaned on the sofa, his legs crossed, and he was sitting like a boss, which made Qiao Xing have the illusion that he was going to negotiate with him.
He went straight to the point and said, "My grandfather likes you very much. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Qin Ce. I am 30 years old. At present, I don't have a house, only a car. I plan to develop in China for the time being. I haven't found a job yet. My parents are divorced. I have lived abroad with my mother these years. She got married abroad and should not return to China in a short time."
"In addition, I also have a younger brother who followed my father, but he was not in Yucheng. I came back mainly because of my grandfather. I will stay in Yucheng for at least ten years. Is there anything else I need to know?" After listening to him, Qiao Xing hesitated for a moment before he said, "What do you think? If it's because of Grandpa Qin, there's actually no need..."
Qin Ce shook his head and said, "Not all. Marriage is not a necessity for me. It's the same to marry anyone. The main thing is to make the elderly happy. Grandpa is right. You don't have to consider my opinion, it mainly depends on your opinion."
Qiao Xing was a little embarrassed for a moment.
Qin Ce said again, "You don't have to worry. You can think about it slowly. It doesn't matter whether you refuse or agree."
Qiao Xing thought for a time and asked tentatively, "So, do you have any savings?"
He raised his eyebrows slightly: "Deposit?"
"Yes."
"Not much, but it should be enough to spend. You don't have to worry about it. It won't starve you."
Hearing what he said, Qiao Xing's face was a little hot. She took a deep breath and said:
"Then let me introduce myself. My name is Qiao Xing. I am 26 years old. According to my parents, I have not contacted them for more than ten years. I am the only one in the family, and I have no siblings."
"Now I work as an administrator in Weisheng Technology Company, and the average salary is about 8,000 yuan. Then... I had a relationship before, and we had a relationship for two years, and nothing else."
"Weisheng Technology?" Qin Ce repeated in a low voice and nodded slightly, "What do you want?"
Qiao Xing pursed her lips, gritted her teeth and said, "I want a dowry of 300,000 yuan. You can't pay for this money yourself. You can't let Grandpa Qin pay it. If you agree, we will get married."
