Qian Duoduo was almost scared to pee.
He never expected that Ye Qiu would actually appear in front of him.
”Damn it, fortunately I didn’t rush to take action just now, or I would be dead for sure！”
Just thinking about the means by which Ye Qiu dealt with Young Master Zhang in the capital, Qian Duoduo couldn’t help but shiver all over.
And only at this moment did he understand why Ye Qiu didn’t beat him up in the capital.
The reason is that Ye Qiu is his cousin.
“Duoduo, what’s wrong with you？” Zhu Xuemiao showed a hint of displeasure on her face when she saw Qian Duoduo hiding behind her in a panic.
In front of so many people, Qian Duoduo naturally wouldn’t say that he was afraid of Ye Qiu. Instead, he covered his stomach and said, “Mom, I suddenly have a stomachache. I want to go to the toilet.”
“Go quickly！”
Zhu Xuemiao didn’t pay much attention and waved her hand.
Qian Duoduo turned around and ran into the old house. He didn’t go to the toilet but found a corner and quietly stared at Ye Qiu’s every move.
“I really didn’t expect that this guy is actually my cousin.”
“This guy is so cruel that he even dares to beat Young Master Zhang.”
“Cao Chunmei, Qian Rong, you ask for more blessings for yourselves！”
……
Ye Qiu understood why Qian Duoduo wanted to run away, and he didn’t care at all.
After getting out of the car, his gaze swept over everyone, and then he smiled and said, “Hello, everyone. I’m Ye Qiu.”
What a handsome man！
The eyes of a group of family members lit up, except for Cao Chunmei and her daughter.
Zhu Xuemiao smiled and said, “Jinglan, your son is really handsome. Does he have a girlfriend？ How about I introduce one to him？”
“Thank you, Second Aunt. I have a girlfriend.” Ye Qiu’s tone changed, “However, if there is a suitable one, Aunt can also introduce it to me. Girlfriends are like Han Xin’s use of troops, the more the better.”
Pfft！
A group of people burst into laughter.
”Scumbag！” Qian Rong cursed.
Ye Qiu ignored her.
Zhu Xuemiao covered her mouth and giggled： “Jinglan, your son is not only handsome, but also very humorous. I don’t know how many girls will like him.”
Qian Jinglan glared at Ye Qiu and pretended to be angry： “Stop talking nonsense.”
At this time, Cao Chunmei pointed at the Maybach and asked： “Jinglan, what’s the matter with this car？”
Qian Jinglan said： “This car belongs to Qiu’er’s friend.”
”Friend？” Qian Rong sneered. “What kind of friend can afford a luxury car worth tens of millions？”
Qian Jinglan was shocked： “This car is worth tens of millions？”
”Let me tell you, not only is it worth tens of millions, but only billionaires are eligible to buy it.” Qian Rong looked at Ye Qiu and said： “You rented this car, right？”
Ye Qiu didn’t want to waste words with this stupid woman and remained silent, which made everyone think that Qian Rong’s guess was correct.
Cao Chunmei said in a lecturing tone： “Jinglan, you should take more care of your son in the future.”
”It’s normal for young people to love face, but like him, it’s not just about loving face. To put it bluntly, he’s just showing off.”
”This car rents for at least tens of thousands of yuan a day. You can’t earn that much in a year, can you？”
”Just to show off in front of us, is it worth it？”
”Besides, I’ve been to your house. I know what your situation is like.”
Qian Jinglan said calmly, “Sister-in-law is right. I will discipline Qiu’er in the future.”
Unexpectedly, Cao Chunmei didn’t intend to stop this topic. Instead, she started to scold Qian Jinglan again.
“Jinglan, it’s not that I’m talking about you. Your son has become like this, and you have a great responsibility.”
“When Rong’er and I went to see you in the morning, your hair was white and your face was full of wrinkles. But now？”
“If I’m not mistaken, you should have dyed your hair black and had beauty injections on your face. It cost a lot of money, right？”
“You said, for a trip home, is it necessary to be like this？”
“Even if you really become an ugly duckling, who will laugh at you？”
“It’s precisely because you love face that your son also loves face so much. What’s this called？ In common parlance, this is that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked！”
A cold light flashed in Ye Qiu’s eyes.
You can talk about me, but you actually talk about my mother. Do you want to court death？
Just as Ye Qiu was about to get angry, he saw Qian Jinglan glance at him, gesturing for him not to speak.
Over the past twenty-odd years, Qian Jinglan has heard too many taunts. There are far more vicious ones than this. Cao Chunmei’s words don’t stir up the slightest ripple in her heart.
Besides, the person in front of her is still his eldest brother’s wife.
“Sister-in-law’s lesson is right. I will pay attention in the future.” Qian Jinglan was still very calm.
Cao Chunmei felt a little depressed in her heart.
She had originally wanted to take this opportunity to anger Qian Jinglan and then make Qian Jinglan leave ina huff with Ye Qiu.
In this way, the matter of her and Qian Rong privately conspiring to make Qian Jinglan sign the commitment letter would never be exposed.
But who would have thought that Qian Jinglan remained unangry all the time, which made Cao Chunmei feel as if her fist had hit cotton.
Unfortunately, there was no quarrel, otherwise there would have been a good show to watch.
Zhu Xuemiao said to himself, “Jinglan, don’t stand here anymore. Let me take you in!”
”Thank you, Second Sister-in-law.”
Qian Jinglan thanked and then, with Ye Qiu, quickly walked towards the old Qian family residence.
As Ye Qiu walked, he observed.
The old Qian family residence was a quadrangle courtyard. The vermilion gate exuded simplicity and antiquity. The the brick-by-brick wall was like a guard protecting the owner. solid and indestructible. There was a lot of moss growing on it, as if telling the century-old history of this house.
On both sides of the gate, there stood a stone lion respectively, with a majestic expression.
In front of the door, there was also an old cypress tree with thick branches and dense leaves, which further enhanced the ancient atmosphere of the quadrangle courtyard.
What attracted Ye Qiu’s attention the most was still a couplet on the door.
”Nine scholars in one family, four imperial tutors in five generations！”
This couplet was the handwriting of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.
Just ten words illustrated the extraordinariness of the Qian family.
Stepping over the threshold stone, what catches the eye is a patio in the middle of the courtyard.
On both sides of the patio, there are more than a dozen rooms. The structure is rigorous and well-arranged. The window lattices are carved with exquisite patterns, exuding an antique flavor.
Ye Qiu instantly reacts that this is a four-entry quadrangle courtyard.
Quadrangle courtyards can be divided into one-entry courtyards, two-entry courtyards, three-entry courtyards, four-entry courtyards, five-entry courtyards…
And so on.
In ancient times, only high-ranking officials and nobles could live in quadrangle courtyards. Moreover, according to the official rank, the houses they lived in also had strict hierarchical divisions.
Officials of the first rank generally lived in three-entry quadrangle courtyards. As for four-entry quadrangle courtyards, they belonged to the “grand mansion gate” and only those at the level of the prince could live in them.
It can be seen that the ancestors of the Qian family were deeply favored by the emperor.
”Second sister-in-law, how is father’s condition？” Ever since walking into the old house, Qian Jinglan’s complexion has become severe.
”The old man’s condition is not optimistic. As for the specific situation… Alas, you will know when you see the old man. I’ll take you in！”
Zhu Xuemiao was just about to take Qian Jinglan to the backyard when suddenly, an untimely voice sounded behind them：
”Wait a minute！”
