Qin Chuan received a call from his parents while he was with his brothers discussing upcoming business plans at the development project.
Upon learning that his second brother had brought his girlfriend home, he immediately drove off, first picking up Li Ya from the garment factory, and then speeding towards the supermarket.
It's worth mentioning that his leg injury had basically healed and no longer affected his mobility, making driving and other activities completely problem-free.
When he arrived at the supermarket with Li Ya, his eldest brother's family was already waiting for him at the entrance. The two brothers got out of the car together and walked into the supermarket courtyard.
In the supermarket's lounge, Qin Gang was introducing his family's general situation to Cao Yuqing. He saw Qin Yang and Qin Chuan, along with his eldest sister-in-law Wu Yanyan and Li Ya, arriving through the window and quickly said to his girlfriend:
"My eldest brother and little brother are here!"
Cao Yuqing immediately stood up upon hearing this, displaying a well-behaved and pure demeanor.
At the same time, at the supermarket entrance, Qin's father and mother, who were waiting there, 'coincidentally' walked out to meet their eldest and youngest sons.
It wasn't that they wanted to do this, but Qin Gang had suddenly brought back a girlfriend from another city. Even though they were mentally prepared, they still felt a bit awkward and didn't know how to chat with her.
Fearing they might offend her, they had been waiting quietly at the supermarket entrance for their eldest and youngest sons to arrive.
Once there were more people, they could engage in conversation, preventing any awkwardness.
Qin Chuan walked into the lounge with his parents and immediately saw his second brother, whom he hadn't seen in days, and his girlfriend.
"Eldest brother, Xiao Chuan, you're here!"
Qin Gang said, a bright smile on his face.
After all, they were brothers. Even if there had been some minor conflicts in the past, they had long since put them aside. Now, seeing each other again, there was only the bond of blood.
"You rascal, leaving without a word. I thought you'd never come back!"
Qin Chuan stepped forward and gave his second brother a tight hug.
Qin Gang grinned, "How could I? I just got tired of staying in our town and wanted to see the outside world and gain some experience!"
"It's good that you're back! It's really good to have you back! Xiao Gang looks much more mature!"
Qin Yang looked at his second brother, also very excited, as the brothers had been separated for a long time.
"Eldest brother!"
Qin Gang stepped forward and hugged Qin Yang tightly. Then, he immediately pointed to his girlfriend and introduced her, "This is A'Qing, my girlfriend!"
"A'Qing, this is my eldest brother, this is my little brother, the youngest in the family!"
"And this is my eldest sister-in-law, and this is my little brother's girlfriend, Li Ya!"
Qin Gang introduced them one by one to Cao Yuqing.
Cao Yuqing behaved very docilely and obediently, sweetly greeting each of them. When her gaze fell upon Li Ya, a flicker of something unusual flashed in her eyes.
She truly hadn't expected such a beautiful woman to be in such a rundown small county town.
Whether it was her looks, figure, skin, or temperament, the other woman was like a big star, exceptionally outstanding.
Cao Yuqing, who had been very confident in her own appearance and figure, gradually lost that confidence.
She could ignore the eldest sister-in-law, but she couldn't ignore Li Ya's presence. This woman made her own radiance dim considerably.
Then there was the youngest, Qin Chuan. Although he was her younger brother, it was their first meeting, and she might become his second sister-in-law in the future. Yet, when Cao Yuqing met his gaze, she felt as if his eyes could penetrate one's heart, incredibly deep.
Cao Yuqing was so scared that she quickly avoided his gaze, which seemed to pierce through one's soul, and dared not look at him further.
Qin Gang had mentioned that the most capable person in the entire Qin family was this youngest one, who ran a large business, including property development, an interior design company, and an electronics factory...
Even the girlfriend he found was so beautiful and elegant.
These were just a few of Cao Yuqing's thoughts in an instant. In reality, with the arrival of Qin Chuan and the others in the spacious lounge, the atmosphere immediately became very lively.
Qin's father and mother were beaming with joy. Now, the Qin family was truly reunited.
The eldest, second, and third sons had all brought their girlfriends. Such an event was even happier than earning a million yuan a year.
The excited elders, after ushering everyone to sit, continuously attended to everyone. The table was filled with all sorts of fruits, snacks, melon seeds, and drinks.
After all, their family owned the supermarket, so they had plenty of these items.
With Li Ya and Wu Yanyan helping with the conversation, the atmosphere was very lively.
Qin Chuan sat on the side, occasionally chiming in. His eldest brother, Qin Yang, was a man of few words, always smiling honestly.
However, he noticed something. Qin Gang seemed to care a lot about this girlfriend named Cao Yuqing. Ever since they sat down, he would constantly pick up snacks from the table and offer them to his girlfriend.
Cao Yuqing politely declined while chatting with Li Ya, Wu Yanyan, and Qin's mother. Qin Yang then picked up some melon seeds from a plate, shelled them by hand, and placed the kernels in front of his girlfriend one by one.
The entire action was meticulous and patient, not at all performative.
Although this was an unintentional gesture, it made Qin Chuan's eyebrows twitch.
He wasn't a rookie with no experience in relationships. He had walked more roads than many people had walked paths. Although in the end, it was all about the physical and not the emotional, he still knew many things and understood some aspects of dating.
Qin Gang's behavior had only one outcome: he treated this girlfriend this way in their daily life.
What special charm did this woman named Cao Yuqing possess, or was it something about his second brother himself, that made the usually proud second brother act like this?
Qin Chuan didn't jump to conclusions. He decided to observe further.
At noon, the entire Qin family booked a lavish banquet at Yongnan Hotel.
It was evident that Qin's father and mother were genuinely happy. Even Jiang Cuihua, who rarely drank, had a couple of glasses and her cheeks were flushed.
During the meal, it was revealed that this woman named Cao Yuqing was from a small county in the south, but she met Qin Gang in Jinling City. She worked as a salesperson at a 4S dealership.
She met Qin Gang in a bar. At that time, Cao Yuqing encountered some trouble, and Qin Gang helped resolve it. Through repeated encounters, they gradually connected.
As for Qin Gang's current job, it was also in the automotive industry.
"The automotive industry is good. You can meet many wealthy people and expand your network at the same time."
Upon learning that his second son was in the car industry, Qin Shuren, who was already a bit tipsy, couldn't help but say.
Qin Chuan also nodded slightly, "The automotive industry has great prospects. Keep up the good work!"
Receiving praise from his younger brother, the second brother, who was also a bit tipsy, was very pleased. He picked up his wine glass and insisted on drinking three toasts with Qin Chuan.
Thus, a lively family dinner gradually came to an end in a joyful atmosphere.
By the end, Qin Shuren was completely drunk and fast asleep on the table, while Qin Gang was also drunk and slurring his words.
"Xiao Chuan, let your second brother and his girlfriend live in the house on your development project!"
"You know, our family has been so busy with business, and the houses you left us haven't been renovated yet!"
Qin's mother quietly held Qin Chuan's hand and said.
"Mom, what's the big deal? Let my second brother and his girlfriend live there!"
Qin Chuan didn't mind it at all.
