Kidnap a superstar for a romance

Chapter 368: Day 364 of Being a Boss (Meeting the Parents)

【2024｜08｜31 revised】

Because he has never experienced this, Kwon Ji-Ryong has never seen family members getting along in this way, and it always gives people a feeling of being close yet unfamiliar.

However, he also knew that the reason for this could only be because they were not familiar with each other when they were young and lacked the opportunity to get along with each other, which led to it becoming like this when they grew up.

Thinking of this, Quan Zhilong turned his head and moved closer to Xu Yisong.

He felt a little sorry for his little rabbit.

Xu Yisong, who was suddenly rubbed on the face, turned back and asked in confusion: "Are the things heavy? Do you want me to help you carry some?" Quan Zhilong carried a lot by himself, and she only had some very light boxes in her hands.

Quan Zhilong shook his head: "It's okay. What should I do? I suddenly feel a little nervous."

"I don't see that you are nervous at all." Xu Yisong tilted his head and observed for a while. He really didn't see that Quan Zhilong was nervous at all.

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the door of the house. Xu Ren'an walked in front and knocked on the door first. Soon the door opened. It was opened by the live-in nanny, Aunt Chen.

"Oh, old lady, the young master has brought the young ladies back." Aunt Chen shouted into the house while helping to take the things in their hands and put them into the house.

As soon as she finished speaking, her grandmother came over. Her eyes passed over the people in front and fell on Xu Yisong, who was walking at the end. Her voice was a little excited: "Songsong is back?" They hadn't seen each other for several months.

"You've lost weight. Don't you eat well?" Ms. Yang held Xu Yisong's face, looked left and right, frowned and said with concern.

Although she always says this every time she sees Xu Yisong, this time Xu Yisong has really lost a lot of weight, and the soft flesh on both sides of his cheeks can no longer be felt.

Xu Yisong smiled and walked over to hug his grandmother and acted like a spoiled child: "No, you'd look better if you were thinner."

This made Ms. Yang so angry that she raised her hand and hit her hard, "Nonsense, how can you be good-looking if you are skinny? If you dare to teach me how to lose weight, I will beat you up."

After being hit, Xu Yisong smiled and hid aside, agreeing, "I know, I know." This was the Ms. Yang she was familiar with.

Although Ms. Yang usually speaks softly and gently, it really hurts when she hits people.

Seeing that Ms. Yang was about to say something, Xu Yisong immediately pulled Quan Zhilong next to him to act as a shield for him: "Grandma, stop talking about me. Look who this is?"

"Hello grandma, I'm Quan Zhilong." Quan Zhilong was suddenly pulled over and stood up straight in an instant. He greeted his grandma in Chinese with some stiffness.

The moment she saw Quan Zhilong, Ms. Yang performed a face-changing performance for them. The expression on her face changed and she kindly took Quan Zhilong's hand and patted it, saying, "I know, Xiao Quan speaks Chinese really well. I said before that I would let Songsong bring you back, but the two of you always had no time. This time I finally got to see you."

As he said that, he pulled the person into the house.

Xu Yisong, who was left there, pursed his lips, then moved the gifts into the house with another forgotten grandson, Xu Ren'an.

"Where are grandpa and the others?" Xu Yisong asked after putting her luggage back in the room and not seeing her grandfather and father.

Aunt Chen answered while helping to make the bed: "The old man and the master are in the study. It seems that they have some work to discuss."

If Xu Yisong hadn't come back today, their husband should be in the company at this time.

Hearing this, Xu Yisong nodded and complained in a low voice: "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve and he's still working overtime. He's such a workaholic." But it's good that her father is not here at the moment, otherwise she wouldn't know what to say to him.

However, despite saying so, after packing up his things, Xu Yisong still took the fruit and planned to go to the study.

She brought two plates of fruit, took one to the living room and placed it in front of grandma who was talking to Quan Zhilong, and then took the other one and planned to go upstairs to find grandpa and the others.

"Songsong." Ms. Yang called Xu Yisong before she left, "Talk to daddy nicely and don't quarrel, okay?"

It's no wonder that Ms. Yang had to give such a reminder. Over the years, it was basically known to everyone in the family that Xu Yisong and her father would quarrel whenever they met.

Xu Yisong sighed helplessly and said, "I know. Didn't I not quarrel with him the last time I came back? We are not children anymore." She and her father have not quarreled since they talked it out last time, but other people in the family still worry every time they see them meet. Xu Yisong explained it many times but it was of no use.

Ms. Yang waved her hand and said, "Go ahead. By the way, ask them to come down for dinner in half an hour. I don't know what they have to talk about every day. They are not idle even during the holidays."

"Don't worry, I promise to complete Ms. Yang's orders." Xu Yisong saluted Ms. Yang in a funny way, then secretly winked at Quan Zhilong before turning around and going upstairs.

Ms. Yang took Xu Yisong's actions into consideration, smiled and shook her head: "You are so grown up but you still act like a child." Although she was complaining, there was a gentle and doting light in her eyes.

Only after watching the figure disappear at the stairs did Ms. Yang retract her gaze, and handed the fruit to Quan Zhilong, saying, "Here, Xiao Quan, have some fruit. I just bought these today."

"Thank you, grandma." To be honest, Quan Zhilong was still nervous facing his elders alone.

Ms. Yang also took a piece of the cut apple from the plate but did not eat it. Instead, she said to Quan Zhilong, "Our Song Song likes this kind of apple the most."

But Quan Zhilong looked at the apple in his hand and was a little confused: "I remember Yisong didn't like apples very much, is this a special variety?" Xu Yisong loves to eat fruits, but Quan Zhilong rarely sees her buy apples. He didn't think the apple on the plate was anything special.

Ms. Yang ate the piece of apple in her hand and asked with a smile: "You usually don't cut the apples when you buy them, right?"

“It has peeled skin…” I don’t really like it, so I don’t buy it very often.

Ms. Yang took another piece and asked, "You don't usually cut it like this, do you?"

Quan Zhilong shook his head.

Then Ms. Yang pointed at the apples on the plate and said, "Song Song only eats apples cut into the shape of a rabbit. She won't eat any other apples. Isn't that weird?"

Without waiting for Quan Zhilong to answer, Ms. Yang continued, "Song Song likes rabbits very much. When she was a child, she wanted everything in the shape of rabbits. The food she ate had to be in the shape of rabbits, and her clothes had to have rabbit patterns..." When she recalled this, the grandmother's face unconsciously became gentle.

"Song Song was very attached to her father when she was young, and that was because her father really loved her. We would occasionally scold her, but her father was reluctant and would not allow us to do so. He always said that the child was still young and that we should reason with her. As a result, I don't know when these two people became a relationship where they would quarrel whenever they met."

Ms. Yang paused and sighed, "You and Songsong have been together for several years. She should have told you about some family matters, right?"

Quan Zhilong nodded slightly. But he only knew that Xu Yisong and her father didn't have a good relationship, but he didn't know that she had the best relationship with her father when she was a child.

Looking at Quan Zhilong's expression, Ms. Yang knew that Xu Yisong must have talked to Quan Zhilong about some family matters.

"Xiao Quan, although I have never met you, grandma is grateful to you in my heart." Ms. Yang held Quan's hand with tears in her eyes.

Quan Zhilong was at a loss when he saw this: "Grandma..."

Ms. Yang waved her hands and continued, "Listen to me. Our Songsong is a stubborn child. Although she is usually easy to talk to, she actually has a more stubborn temper than anyone else."

Quan Zhilong has experienced this before. Sometimes Xu Yisong’s stubbornness even gives him a headache.

Ms. Yang looked at the change in Quan Zhilong's eyes and smiled and said, "It seems that you have seen it."

"Actually, as long as you explain it clearly, she will be willing to listen." Quan Zhilong still tried hard to save his girlfriend's image.

But it is just like he said, although Xu Yisong is unexpectedly stubborn sometimes, she is always soft-hearted and will not tolerate tough approaches, so as long as you find the right approach, she will be very easy to talk to.

"That's why I want to thank you." Ms. Yang patted Quan Zhilong's hand, and then handed him a palm-sized velvet gift box. "Songsong has been very sensible since she was a child, but she is too sensible, which makes us worry. We always thought that her parents' affairs affected her, and later we found that it was indeed the case. Songsong is very good at socializing and makes friends easily, but she always seems too cautious when it comes to feelings."

Because of her parents, Xu Yisong actually doesn't dare to trust relationships between the sexes. Although she believes in love and is willing to try, she becomes timid when facing the arrival of love.

But when she met Quan Zhilong, she changed a lot, and all these changes were seen by Ms. Yang. She understood that it was because of this young man around her that Songsong became braver and finally let Xu Yisong get rid of the shadow brought by her parents in her childhood.

That's why Ms. Yang said these words to Quan Zhilong.

Because I met the right person, I can get positive feedback from this relationship and grow.

Their Song Song is lucky after all.

At the beginning, she was actually not very satisfied with Quan Zhilong, whether in terms of work or other aspects.

It’s not that Kwon Ji-ryong is a bad person, it’s just that I’m not satisfied because my expectations are different.

But Xu Yisong likes them and it is not easy for him to interfere. Besides, it is the children's own destiny in life, so it is useless for them to interfere.

But later, slowly, they all saw the changes in Xu Yisong, and no matter how dissatisfied they were, they all melted away in Xu Yisong's happiness. Then she began to try to understand this young man, to accept him, and to treat him as a member of her future family.

Nothing is more important than Xu Yisong's happiness.

After all, they were unable to accompany Xu Yisong throughout her life. Even at their age, they were already counting the days of their lives. Who knows one day they would close their eyes and never open them again.

At their age, they have become calm about death. The only thing they are worried about is their granddaughter who they have watched grow up.

Quan Zhilong opened the box and found an exquisite pocket watch inside. Judging from the marks on it, it must be quite old, but it can also be seen that it is a treasured item.

He realized that this must be a very valuable item, and immediately wanted to return the box to Ms. Yang, "Grandma, this is too valuable, I can't take it."

Ms. Yang simply pushed back the velvet box containing the pocket watch and said, "Gifts from elders cannot be refused. This was given to me by my father when I got married. It should have been left to my son, but I don't want to give it to him." At this point, Ms. Yang made a rare witty remark.

This watch is a token of her parents' love. In that era, although her parents were arranged to marry each other, they still loved each other all their lives. This watch is her father's blessing to her, hoping that she will have a happy marriage. Now she gave it to Quan Zhilong, hoping that the two of them can also have a happy life.

After hearing this, Quan Zhilong felt even more how valuable this gift was.

Seeing that he was still about to refuse, Ms. Yang just said, "You are the first person Songsong has come home with. Although we just officially met today, I have heard a lot about you from Songsong. It is obvious that she brought you back this time. She wants to have a future with you. I can see that you feel the same way, right? So don't refuse anymore."

She could even feel that Kwon Ji-ryong was more determined about marriage than Heo Yi-sung.

Having said that, Quan Zhilong had no choice but to accept the gift: "Thank you, grandma."

"We'll be a family from now on, so there's no need to say thank you. As long as you two are happy, that's more important than anything else." Ms. Yang watched Quan Zhilong accept the gift and nodded with satisfaction.

But in the end, Ms. Yang still worriedly advised: "Xiao Quan, love is a complicated matter. No one can guarantee that it will last a lifetime. But grandma still wants to ask you to help us take good care of her while you still love her. Even if you separate in the future, don't hurt her."

It's not that she is worried about Quan Zhilong, but no one can explain matters of the heart. Just like Xu Yisong's parents, they loved each other terribly before they got married, but in the end they ended up like this, worse than enemies.

Quan Zhilong met Ms. Yang's eyes and nodded solemnly and agreed: "I will, grandma."

Although he felt that he and Xu Yisong would not go that far.

After receiving the promise, Ms. Yang nodded and smiled with satisfaction, her eyes slightly moist: "You and Songsong are both very good children, and you will definitely be happy in the future."

On the other side, Xu Yisong had no idea what her grandmother and Quan Zhilong were talking about. She was walking upstairs with some fruit in her hand.

Because he was looking down at his phone, Xu Yisong almost bumped into someone when he was going upstairs, "Oh, sorry..."

When I looked up, I saw a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

After a moment of silence, Xu Yisong realized that the middle-aged woman in front of him with exquisite makeup might be Xu Renan's mother.

The woman in front of him who was about to go downstairs was stunned when she met Xu Yisong's gaze. There was a bit of embarrassment in her eyes. She didn't look like a woman in her forties at all.

Xu Yisong had seen her when she was a teenager. That was also the first time she knew that her parents had actually broken up shortly after she was born, and each of them had a lover outside.

At that time, she could not accept this, especially when she saw Xu Ren'an, who was only a few years younger than her.

During that time, her relationship with her father gradually deteriorated, so that meeting naturally would not be a good memory.

However, this woman didn't change much, and her appearance gradually became similar to the one in her memory.

Xu Ren'an's mother is undoubtedly a beauty. The years have left no trace on her, and she even has a charm that young people don't have.

However, as the person who has stayed with her father the longest, Xu Ren'an's mother is not a dodder, at least not as docile and weak as she appears now.

Xu Yisong promised Xu Ren'an that he would not embarrass his mother, but he didn't really want to talk to her. He just nodded as a greeting when their eyes met, and then walked past her and went upstairs.

The woman saw what Xu Yisong meant but didn't say anything. She lowered her head slightly to avoid Xu Yisong's sight and turned around to make room for her. But when Xu Yisong walked past her, she stared at her back for a long time, wondering what she was thinking.
