Chapter 787: 0787 I am talented in both arts and arms! (Second update)

So embarrassing!

Mr. and Mrs. Lin felt they had lost face. While the Lin family wasn’t as large or successful as the Xu family, they still held some clout in Wushan City, which is why the Xu family had agreed to this blind date in the first place.

Yet, the boyfriend Lin Qiao’er had found was just a mere security guard, a quack doctor—it was almost enough to overturn their entire world view.

The woman was too reckless!

Even Mr. Xu’s father couldn’t help but find it amusing that this young man, with no significant social status, dared to step into the Lin’s residence. It was truly interesting.

If it wasn’t for a relative of the Lin family holding a significant position in Capital City and being greatly helpful to the Xu family’s business, Mr. Xu would not have agreed to let his youngest son marry Lin Qiao’er.

"Cough cough... I’ve made Mr. Xu laugh." Mr. Lin said awkwardly.

"Ha ha, a youngster, after all, it’s better for parents to decide on marriage matters. When they choose themselves, there’s always a chance they’ll get it wrong," Mr. Xu laughed.

"Exactly, exactly."

At the other end of the dining table, it seemed both sets of parents had ignored Ye Qiu completely, even though Mr. and Mrs. Lin felt there was nothing notable about him at all.

Finally able to show off his superior conditions in front of Lin Qiao’er, and with Ye Qiu as the perfect contrast, Xu Shaohua felt that the day he would win Lin Qiao’er back was just around the corner. To think this Ye Qiu dared to compete with him, Xu Shaohua, he really should take a look in the mirror.

Xu Shaohua was full of joy because he knew it was his time to shine.

"My good sir, your job isn’t bad, but I suggest you go back to the little countryside and live a safe life," Xu Shaohua said with a smile.

Ye Qiu nodded, "I indeed think the same, finding a peaceful mountain wilderness, growing flowers, planting herbs, and marrying a plump wife who can bear children—that would be a delightful life."

Ye Qiu’s words had shocked everyone at the table not for the first time, especially when he mentioned "marrying a plump wife who can bear children," which made Xu Shaohua think that Ye Qiu was an unexpected reinforcement sent by the gods.

Lin Qiao’er was also secretly fuming. What was Ye Qiu even talking about? It was bad enough talking about growing flowers and planting herbs, but to marry a plump wife who could bear children—did he think she, Lin Qiao’er, was plump?

"Impressive, impressive, brother. Your wish will surely come true. Lin Qiao’er is definitely not your ideal plump wife, so, I advise you to let go sooner rather than later," Xu Shaohua said.

Ye Qiu took a mouthful of the fragrant dish, his mouth dripping with oil, wiped his sleeve casually, and shook his head repeatedly, "My dear sir, you’re wrong. I find Qiao’er to be busty and curvaceous, surely she’ll bear me a chubby little boy in the future."

Xu Shaohua nearly spit out the food he had eaten. He thought this young man’s brain must be rusty. Although he could see that Lin Qiao’er was indeed voluptuous, what kind of setting was this? A whole family gathering, and he dared to be so vulgar openly.

Lin Qiao’er’s cheeks turned red with Ye Qiu’s comment about her being busty and curvaceous, thinking him utterly shameless for being so indiscreet even in front of her parents. What was he really trying to do?

Seeing Ye Qiu’s foolish appearance, Xu Shaohua couldn’t help saying, "With your qualifications, you couldn’t possibly provide a better life for Qiao’er. It’s more fitting for you to let go."

Ye Qiu grabbed another big serving of vegetables for himself and responded, "No way, I’m talented and versatile, holding multiple jobs, I can definitely support a wife."

After speaking, Ye Qiu even glanced at Lin Qiao’er, their eyes communicating, which made Xu Shaohua’s anger surge even more.

He scoffed, "Talented and versatile? Ha ha... Your definition of ’talented’ is just being a quack doctor, and ’versatile’ is just being a security guard?"

"Of course, just with these two part-time jobs, I could support ten Qiao’ers without breaking a sweat," Ye Qiu fiercely tore off a pig’s knuckle, stuffed it in his mouth, and devoured it heartily.

Xu Shaohua couldn’t listen anymore and didn’t want to argue with Ye Qiu; this guy simply couldn’t understand what he was saying. Even when he was mocking him, Ye Qiu thought he was being complimented. Xu Shaohua truly didn’t see Ye Qiu as any threat. What on earth did Lin Qiao’er see in this guy? It was truly baffling.

Ye Qiu took a drink of water, burped, and said indifferently, "I know what you’re thinking, but no matter how bad I am, Qiao’er will stick with me, because... we are in true love!"

With just "true love is invincible," Ye Qiu effectively shut Xu Shaohua down.

Even then, Xu Shaohua didn’t know how to proceed. No matter what he said, it didn’t seem to hurt Ye Qiu at all; Ye Qiu didn’t even realize he was being insulted.

Lin Qiao’er couldn’t stand it anymore. Fearing that Ye Qiu might blurt out more shocking statements, she immediately said, "Xu Shaohua, you don’t need to worry about whether Ye Qiu can support me. He is now my boyfriend, and I trust him."

"Qiao’er, don’t be foolish." At that moment, Mrs. Lin sharply rebuked.

Mrs. Lin’s dislike for Ye Qiu grew as she saw him; compared to Xu Shaohua, it was like comparing the heavens to the earth. Her daughter must have been blinded by some mysterious layer of lard to fall for such a man.

"Qiao’er, you should interact with Young Master Xu a bit, don’t be reckless with these matters of the heart," Mrs. Lin pleaded earnestly.

"Mom, I’m not being foolish. I have a boyfriend," Lin Qiao’er said earnestly.

"I won’t agree to this," Mrs. Lin declared.

"I will decide my own matters."

Seeing that mother and daughter were about to start arguing, Mr. Lin quickly intervened, "What are you fighting about? Sit down and let’s talk this slowly."

The scene quieted down for a moment, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward. It was then that Xu Shaohua broke the silence, stood up, and addressed Mr. and Mrs. Lin, "This is my first time here for a meal, and I’ve brought some small gifts especially for the two of you, hoping you’ll like them."

Hearing this, Mrs. Lin’s eyes lit up, and she exclaimed delightedly, "This child is really thoughtful."

Then, Xu Shaohua took out two boxes from his coat and handed them to Mr. and Mrs. Lin. When they opened the boxes, they saw a pair of jadeite rings. Xu Shaohua said, "These are a pair of couple’s jadeite rings, the newest product from my company. These two are the most valuable among them. I wanted to give them to uncle and auntie, hoping that your love will be everlasting and never fade, just like this jadeite."

"Good," said Lin Qiao’er’s aunt, applauding, and Mr. and Mrs. Lin, seeing the lush greenness of the jadeite rings, could tell they were very valuable, worth at least several million yuan.

"Shaohua, you’ve gone to so much trouble. Uncle and auntie thank you," Mrs. Lin said happily with a smile.

Xu Shaohua quickly had Mr. and Mrs. Lin sit down, then looked slowly toward Ye Qiu and smiled, "I wonder what gift you’ve brought for uncle and auntie?"

Gift?

Lin Qiao’er was shocked inside. She and Ye Qiu had been rushing on their way and had indeed forgotten to buy any gifts, only picking up some fruit.

By asking this, Lin Qiao’er naturally knew Xu Shaohua intended to put Ye Qiu in an awkward position, especially since he had given the valuable jadeite rings, and Ye Qiu had...

Lin Qiao’er looked anxiously at Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu wiped the oil from his mouth with both hands and smiled, "A gift? I have one too."

Xu Shaohua sneered as he was curious to see what kind of proper gift Ye Qiu could possibly have brought.
