Chapter 173 - 174 Marriage Matters (5)
The car drove into the mountains, yes, the Qin Family lives in the mountains. Since it’s already night, Lou Xi couldn’t see the surrounding scenery clearly, but she was sure that the Qin Family had the only villa on this mountaintop!
"Young Master Qin, don’t tell me the entire mountain belongs to the Qin Family?" After Lou Xi got out of the car, she saw a parking lot the size of a basketball court, with a rain canopy under which several luxurious cars were parked.
"Hmm." Qin Mobai nodded, "The elders like peace, so my uncle built a house here. It’s particularly inconvenient."
If Lou Xi had the money to build a house on the mountain, never mind inconvenient, she would climb her way over here!
"Actually, I don’t seem to really understand you even now, suddenly talking about marriage, it feels..." Maybe a bit rushed.
Obviously, Qin Mobai didn’t give Lou Xi a chance to back out. He took out the things he had prepared for Grandpa and Grandma from the trunk and handed the not-too-heavy gift box to Lou Xi.
"You’ve already boarded this ship, there’s no chance of getting off, understand?" With that, Qin Mobai put his arm around Lou Xi’s shoulder and walked towards the villa.
To be honest, while walking towards the villa, Lou Xi’s legs were trembling, and she had no idea what was going on in her mind.
After all, this was her first time meeting the parents, and it was so sudden and unexpected.
It wasn’t until she saw the people in the living room that Lou Xi came back to her senses.
The lights in the living room were very bright, shining on every well-dressed person, making them look exceptionally noble and grand.
"Grandpa, Grandma." So many people, yet Qin Mobai only greeted the two elders.
Old Madam Qin was very happy that her grandson could come back, but when she saw the person beside him, she was not so pleased.
Everyone in the Qin Family watched as Qin Mobai brought a girl back, only to hear Qin Mobai introduce her, "This is my girlfriend, Lou Xi."
Once this introduction was made, everyone sitting and standing there in the Qin Family looked at Lou Xi with scrutinizing eyes, as if they could see flowers blooming from her.
Those straightforward, naked stares were terrifying in Lou Xi’s eyes, and she unconsciously shrank towards Qin Mobai.
Qin Mobai slightly tightened his grip on Lou Xi’s hand, as if to reassure her.
"Is this the girl you previously mentioned bringing to us?" The old madam looked at Lou Xi a few more times, only feeling that she was small-minded and lacked the grandeur and elegance a noble lady should possess.
"Yes."
Old Madam Qin nodded and asked, "I haven’t heard of any Lou Family in Nancheng. Whose family does this girl belong to?"
In the elders’ mindset, it’s definitely preferable to find someone suitable and a good match for their grandson, someone like Shen Ruozhuo.
Even if not a girl like Shen Ruozhuo, skilled in arts, literature, and painting, she should at least be a well-bred girl capable of managing both the household and the kitchen!
This girl was nowhere near their criteria for picking a granddaughter-in-law.
"Grandma, are you conducting a background check?" Qin Mobai helped Lou Xi gloss over this question.
The old lady snorted lightly, knowing her grandson was protecting the girl, "You’re about to get married, yet I’m not allowed to check the background?"
Qin Mobai remained indifferent.
However, once the old lady spoke, the faces of others in the living room showed varying expressions.
Qin Mobai intended to marry a girl who seemed to have no background or family status?
Was he really thinking this through?
