Chapter 2032: Chapter 2030: Attitude Matters
When she heard it was a worker family, she didn’t think much of it, and now that they’re even picky about her son, she was even angrier. So even Lady Qi, who always liked to maintain her graceful demeanor, now had a sullen face.
"Mom, I’m not some extraordinary person. Why would everyone like me? Besides, whether she’s from a worker family or another type of family, I like her as a person, and it has nothing to do with the family. Furthermore, does our Qi Family need to rely on the marriage of children to survive?"
Old Master Qi immediately agreed, "Yes, yes, Xiuxiu is right. Our Qi Family would never sacrifice the happiness of our children for profit."
Lady Qi’s face was very displeased as she reluctantly explained, "That’s not what I meant, but an ordinary worker family is indeed not quite compatible with our family. And coming from a small and unremarkable background, can she manage when she enters a family like ours?"
Before Qi Fangxiu could speak, Old Master Qi was discontented and looked at his daughter-in-law with a deep meaning in his eyes, saying, "Your family was just an average family, yet I see you living well in our Qi Family mansion, handling everything excellently."
The old master secretly pursed his lips.
Lady Qi’s family, though not a regular one, was just a small family in Yun City, not at all prominent. It’s puzzling where she got the confidence to say such things. If he had been someone who cared about family background and despised poverty, this woman wouldn’t have even been able to enter the Qi Family.
Of course, he was always proud of his decision back then. Otherwise, how would he have such an outstanding grandson?
But Lady Qi’s face changed abruptly.
If the speaker wasn’t Old Master Qi, she would have been furious long ago. Can you even compare? This is completely incomparable.
Her family couldn’t compare to the Qi Family, but they weren’t a lowly worker family to be compared against either.
They were also from a scholarly household, weren’t they?
The family had university professors, and many were engaged in clerical work. How can that be compared to a worker family?
It’s destined to be a life working in a factory.
And just listen to those conditions. Though there are few children, there are so many elders, so the burden must be heavy.
Will the Qi Family not have an additional relative trying to mooch off?
Though the Qi Family is big and established, not just anyone can take advantage.
Her lips moved as if to retort, but she forcibly held back.
Old Master Qi might seem always smiling, but he can be incredibly fierce with words and deeds. Like he just did, outwardly praise but actually taunt and warn. After so many years, how could she not understand?
But even if she understood, all she could do was tolerate it. Lady Qi forced a smile, "I didn’t mean anything else, just a bit concerned. But our Qi Family doesn’t stress family background; as long as the children like them, that’s enough."
Old Master Qi gave Lady Qi a sharp glance.
He didn’t speak or nod; then he turned his gaze, continuing to smile at his grandson.
"The young girl is called Qin Xiaoyu, hehe, that’s a really nice name."
What needed to be known was known. Old Master Qi felt a bit tired and stood up, saying to Qi Fangxiu, "Xiuxiu, you should rest too. Without energy, how can you accompany your little girlfriend around Yun City?"
Qi Fangxiu also smiled.
Though still worried inside, his grandfather’s attitude made him very satisfied. As for his mother, though she liked Su Wan, who to marry was Qi Fangxiu’s decision. Even his mother couldn’t interfere, especially with his grandfather’s support.
But he had another worry to discuss with grandfather.
Of course, his father and mother also needed to know.
He quickly stood up and looked at Old Master Qi with a troubled expression, saying, "Grandpa, there’s one more thing I need to discuss with you."
Regarding the future daughter-in-law issue, Qi Jin remained silent.
He knew that in the matter of Qi Fangxiu’s lifelong affair, neither he nor his wife could make the decisions. Ultimately, it’s up to his son. No matter what kind of girl he marries, they have to accept it, and whether it’s a good or bad life, that’s his own business.
So he maintained silence and neutrality on the matter.
He was about to leave but unexpectedly his son had another issue, which made his eyebrows furrow, "Xiuxiu, your grandpa is very tired, and look at the time. If there’s something to say, wait until daylight."
If they waited until daylight, it would be late.
But he looked at his grandfather and found he genuinely looked less energetic than before. Apparently, he had been maintaining with a surge of energy earlier. Qi Fangxiu hesitated a bit and considered waiting until morning.
Unexpectedly, Old Master Qi perked up again. He liked it when his grandson discussed matters with him. Young people nowadays have their own ideas and rarely sit with him to talk about their affairs.
He quickly sat back on the sofa, gesturing for Qi Fangxiu to sit down as well, and patiently smiled, "Go ahead, what else is there, Grandpa’s listening."
Since he sat down again, he began to speak. Qi Fangxiu gathered his thoughts and then said, "Grandpa, you know I’ve been hiding my identity. I haven’t just hidden it from my classmates, but Xiao Yu doesn’t know either. I just said I’m from a poor, mountainous area in Yun City, from a burdensome family, with many family members..."
"Is this the issue?"
Old Master Qi continued smiling, but was inwardly pleased. This proved Qin Xiaoyu’s character was very good. Even if she’s from a worker family, she’s an Imperial Capital person. Generally, people would look down on remote rural folks, especially if poor with many responsibilities.
"Yes, this is the issue. I intended to be honest with Xiao Yu, but unexpectedly Fifth Uncle sought me out then, as you know, I never found the chance."
At this point, Qi Fangxiu was quite troubled. Qi Jin quietly nodded, saying, "You’re worried about the young lady being upset over your secret? Don’t worry, we’ll explain it to her well."
"Yes, your father is right, we will explain it well to her. Such a kind young lady is rare; make sure you don’t miss out. However upset she gets, just soothe her. Girls are the easiest to soothe..."
Old Master Qi seemed very knowledgeable as he spoke.
