Chapter One
The shadows of the trees outside the window were whirling, and cicadas chirped from time to time. It seemed particularly quiet.
Thump thump, there was a rapid knock on the door.
"Lin Qin, are you awake? You have to go get your marriage certificate in the afternoon." There was an urging in the voice, "My wife told me before I went out in the morning."
Lin Qin sat up suddenly in his sleep. His first reaction was that he was going to be late for a simultaneous interpretation session. But after he calmed down, he looked around this familiar and unfamiliar small room, and the urge to get out of bed was suppressed.
Madam? In my impression, the word madam in the novel only appears in that home, right?
Only Aunt Wang would call her stepmother Madam.
Yes, he had graduated with a Ph.D. and returned to China. He got off the plane just the day before yesterday, and Lin Qin, who was full of eyes, remembered it.
She had not yet recovered from the jet lag, and the constant knocking on the door made her head hurt. She closed her eyes and rubbed her temples. The "marriage certificate" mentioned by Aunt Wang reminded her that there was indeed such a thing today.
Things have to be done.
"I got it. No need to knock anymore." Lin Qin said calmly.
After hearing this, Aunt Wang didn't knock again, but she pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice: "I have been here for a few years and now I am acting like a young lady." Before leaving, she rolled her eyes at the door and added: "Then
Miss Lin, get up quickly, don’t miss the time to get the certificate. Madam has repeatedly asked her."
After such a fuss, Lin Qin no longer felt sleepy.
The words "receiving a certificate" reminded her of yesterday's scene.
Just after dinner last night, Lin Guoqiang called her to the study and said he wanted to talk to her about something. Wang Meifang was already waiting there. When he saw her, she was smiling and very considerate. This made her hair stand on end. She was being courteous for nothing and was not an adulterer.
That is stealing.
Sure enough, Lin Guoqiang and Wang Meifang wanted her to marry the son of the Gu family instead of their sister Lin Baozhu.
It turns out that Grandpa Lin arranged a baby wedding for Bao Zhu and the grandson of his friend Gu Shan more than ten years ago. More than ten years after Grandpa Lin left, the Lin family had no contact with the Gu family. Not long ago, the Gu family contacted Lin Guoqiang and talked about this family.
Marriage. However, Lin Baozhu had already made an appointment with the youngest son of the Qian family and refused to agree to it.
Lin Qin also had an impression of the Gu family. In her memory, her grandfather took her to the Gu family several times and played chess with Grandpa Gu, but it seemed that she had never met the grandson of the Gu family.
Lin Qin didn't know the Qian family, but it could be seen from Wang Meifang's expression that they must be from a wealthy family. Otherwise, why would her eyes light up when she mentioned the Qian family's youngest son.
Both generations of the Gu family are high school teachers.
Lin Qin understood why Wang Meifang didn't want Lin Baozhu to marry into the Gu family.
"Our family values credibility. We need to let the surrounding relatives and friends know. Not only will our Lin family's face be lost, it will also affect our family's business." Lin Guoqiang looked at the eldest daughter who had always said little, and thought to himself that Baozhu was the one who could do the job.
Went to art school and acted in a TV show right after graduation
The fourth female lead in the drama has become an artist. Now she is also married to the youngest son of the Qian family. She has known how to make herself look good since she was a child. But Lin Qin only knows how to study. Even if he goes to study abroad, won't he still be unemployed after graduation and returning to China?
It's a good time to marry the Gu family's son now, so as not to have to worry about his old age later.
Looking at Lin Qin's extremely pure face, Wang Meifang felt very uncomfortable. She was the president of the president, and she specifically picked out the advantages of Shen Shuyun and Lin Guoqiang. But without the means to win over men, no matter how good-looking they are, it would be in vain. Otherwise, how could they be treasures?
It's not that she got into the Qian family's youngest son.
Thinking of the Qian family, I heard that their family attaches great importance to family tradition and reputation when choosing a daughter-in-law. If it is rumored that the Lin family has betrayed their trust and unilaterally ruined their engagement, Baozhu will have no hope of marrying into the Qian family.
No matter what, let Lin Qin marry the Gu family's son instead of Baozhu. Wouldn't her nerd be a perfect match for the Gu family's programmer son?
Thinking of this, Wang Meifang felt anxious when she saw that Lin Qin was still silent. She rolled her eyes: "Hey, now Baozhu disagrees life and death. We don't have the heart to break them up. But your father and I both know that your grandfather was the best when he was alive.
Speaking of credibility, if he saw in heaven that the marriage he had made with great joy was ruined like this, he would be heartbroken."
I have to say that Wang Meifang knows Lin Qin very well.
Lin Qin's heart went up and down when she heard the words "grandpa". She was raised by her grandfather since she was a child. She even remembers the scene when her grandfather taught her to recognize the first character and write the first calligraphy character.
Finally, she agreed.
Thinking of this, Lin Qin had a lot of thoughts. He unconsciously took his mobile phone to check the time. He made an appointment to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to collect the certificate at 10:30 in the morning. Since he agreed, he couldn't be late.
When I got the phone, I saw two missed calls displayed on the screen.
She clicked on her phone and saw it was Wenxiu calling.
She quickly called back.
The other party's call was answered immediately: "Qinqin, are you okay?"
"I returned to China yesterday, and I was jet-lagged and sleeping today. My phone was muted," Lin Qin explained.
The other party was relieved at first, and then was shocked by the news of her return to China: "You girl, you didn't even tell me when you came back to China, I will pick you up at the airport." Then he asked her carefully: "You
Have you watched Moments? Zhang Haoran and Sun Xiaoting are having their wedding today."
Lin Qin suddenly heard the name Zhang Haoran and felt a little dazed, as if it was a long time ago. She paused: "I don't know, I deleted him half a year ago."
"Delete it. It will save you the trouble." Cheng Wenxiu said angrily: "A third party intervened, a mama's boy. His mother saw that Sun Xiaoting's family was rich, so she asked him to break up with you. Zhang Haoran also
Really listen to what he says, this soft-eared, hesitant man, you better get rid of me, otherwise you will die on your hands."
Lin Qin smiled and said, "Actually, I am also responsible for this matter. The feelings are mutual, and Zhang Haoran has always given more than me. And Zhang Haoran told me the first time, so it's not like we are treading water. We also
It’s a good time to get together and get together.”
"Humph, doesn't he know that you have been hired as an associate professor in the School of Translation and Interpretation by University A?"
"Um."
"Doesn't he also know that the money you earn from simultaneous interpretation and novel translation in a year is enough to pay the down payment for a house in this city?"
"Well. I have never told him this before." Because Zhang Haoran is a person with high self-esteem.
"I really want to see what Zhang Haoran and his mother's expressions will look like when they hear the news. You must find a tall, handsome, rich and excellent man in the future. Let Zhang Haoran live in regret every day."
Lin Qin thought, fearing that she would be disappointed. But after all, she did not tell her that she was about to go to get the certificate with a stranger. The matter was too complicated, so she might as well talk about it in person later.
She smiled and said, "Okay, I've actually forgotten about it. Why are you still so angry? Maybe Zhang Haoran is right. I have always been too calm with him. Maybe this is one of the reasons why he decided to break up.
Bar."
"I just saw this in the circle of friends today, and I was so angry. Who would have thought that your client would be so calm, hahaha, sister, you did a great job."
