Chapter 295 Dad doesn't approve of you continuing your relationship with Duan Yuchen
"It's okay to drink a little!" Duan Yuchen said with a faint smile, "Besides, I'm happy to drink with my father-in-law."
When Qiao Jingyu heard Duan Yuchen call her "father-in-law", a sweet warmth instantly surged in her heart, as if countless flowers were blooming in her heart, making her feel light and happy.
At this time, Qiao Fukang had already filled the glass with wine. Qiao Jingyu hurriedly stepped forward, took the glass and carefully placed it in front of Duan Yuchen. Then, she began to serve Duan Yuchen dishes, each of which was a carefully selected delicacy.
Qiao Fukang looked thoughtfully at his daughter Qiao Jingyu for a short moment, then turned to Duan Yuchen, raised his glass and drank with him.
Duan Yuchen knew the importance of this meeting, so he deliberately put aside his usual pride and reserve, deliberately lowered his posture, and behaved humbly and politely. In this way, the dinner was carried out in an orderly manner in a harmonious atmosphere.
Han Shuqin, in particular, was full of praise for Duan Yuchen's words and deeds, and she praised him repeatedly.
After everyone had enjoyed the sumptuous meal, they took a short break and drank some tea together. Then, seeing that it was getting late, Duan Yuchen slowly stood up and prepared to say goodbye to everyone and leave.
At this moment, Han Shuqin hurriedly spoke up to persuade him to stay, "Xiao Duan, you've drunk quite a bit of wine today, so why don't you stay tonight!" However, Qiao Fukang on the side just coughed twice and did not express any opinion.
Duan Yuchen raised his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile, and responded gently: "Thank you grandma for your concern, but it's okay, I won't drive." Having said that, Han Shuqin still seemed a little unwilling, and when she was about to persuade her again, she was interrupted by Qiao Fukang: "Jingyu, go and see Yuchen off."
Qiao Jingyu held Duan Yuchen's arm and walked towards the door.
Only after Qiao Jingyu and Duan Yuchen disappeared from his sight did Qiao Fukang slowly turn his head and look at Han Shuqin. He said in a slightly reproachful tone, "Mom, this is their first visit. How can you just let them stay overnight? Don't you think this is a little inappropriate?"
Han Shuqin curled her lips in disapproval and responded nonchalantly: "Oh, what's wrong with that! This just shows that I am quite satisfied with this grandson-in-law!"
Qiao Fukang naturally knew what his mother was thinking. He knew that the reason why Han Shuqin liked Duan Yuchen, her grandson-in-law, so much was because she was attracted by his strong financial resources, prominent power, and noble status. After all, Han Shuqin had lived through hard times and had experienced the hardships and difficulties of life, so in her eyes, the weight of money was particularly important. Qiao Fukang could actually understand this. However... "No matter how satisfied you are in your heart, you shouldn't be so eager to act! This is like us rushing to curry favor with others. If Jingyu really marries into their family in the future, I'm afraid she won't get the attention she deserves!" Qiao Fukang frowned and said worriedly.
After hearing her son's words, Han Shuqin's face suddenly showed a trace of embarrassment. Her expression froze for a moment, and she stammered, "This...I didn't think it through."
At this time, Qiao Jingyu also returned home after seeing Duan Yuchen off. Qiao Fukang looked up at Qiao Jingyu, then turned around and walked upstairs. While going upstairs, he did not forget to turn around and say to Qiao Jingyu: "Jingyu, come upstairs with me."
Hearing her father's call, Qiao Jingyu did not dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly followed her father's footsteps and came to the study together. After entering the study, the father and daughter sat down on the sofa one after another.
After the two of them sat down, Qiao Fukang was the first to break the silence and slowly said, "Jingyu, Dad doesn't approve of you continuing your relationship with Duan Yuchen."
These words were like a bolt from the blue, instantly hitting Qiao Jingyu's heart. She couldn't help but frown and asked in confusion, "Why is this happening? We clearly agreed before that we could try to get along first!"
Facing his daughter's question, Qiao Fukang sighed and explained, "Before, Dad didn't have much interaction with him, so he didn't know what kind of person he was in daily life. But today, since he entered the house, you have been following him closely. You served him tea and water, and helped him pick up dishes and serve rice. You were in charge of everything. You are my biological daughter. From childhood to adulthood, Dad has always treated you as the apple of his eye and doted on you. When has he ever been willing to let you do these servant jobs!"
After hearing what her father said, Qiao Jingyu was slightly stunned. She never expected that her father opposed her and Duan Yuchen being together for such a reason. But soon, she came to her senses and hurriedly said, "Dad, I know in my heart that you love me, but Duan Yuchen is really good to me..."
"Jingyu, you are now deeply attracted by his unique temperament. Of course, I admit that Duan Yuchen is indeed a very outstanding man! However, my daughter, living together is not just a matter of one or two days, but a long journey of companionship for a lifetime! And think about it, he is much older than you. When you are old and frail in the future, and your movements are no longer as agile and flexible as when you were young, then all the burdens of life will be on your shoulders alone, and you will live a very hard and tiring life!" Father Qiao persuaded earnestly.
"Dad..." Qiao Jingyu dragged out the last line of the syllable, showing a bit of helplessness on her face, and responded softly: "Dad, aren't you thinking a little too far ahead? We have only just started to get along for a short time."
"How can this be considered long-term thinking? My daughter, what I said are obvious facts! As long as you choose to be with him, such a situation will inevitably occur sooner or later." Father Qiao retorted seriously.
Qiao Jingyu knew that her father said this out of love and concern for her, but when she thought that her father disliked Duan Yuchen because he was blind, she couldn't help but feel a pang of pain and discomfort in her heart. However, what made her feel helpless was that this was exactly the reality that she couldn't change no matter how hard she tried. If time could go back to the last life, with Qiao Jingyu's hot-tempered and impulsive temper at that time, she would probably have been unable to resist and had a fierce quarrel with her father.
But after experiencing what happened between Song Chengze and Qiao Jingshan, Qiao Jingyu knew that Qiao Fukang had such high demands on her significant other because he loved her too much.
Perhaps in the eyes of parents, their own children are the best. Even if the other person is perfect and impeccable, parents will feel that they are not worthy of their children.
