Chapter 998 He Throws Money at People
That night, Teng Junhao accompanied the old man to the tea table for a leisurely tea time, while Ling Ya talked about the children and the details and plans for the wedding.
Mentioning Deng Zhouyi and Yu Qianqian's marriage, he couldn't help but frown; you see,
Since the previous trip to Q City was unsuccessful, we need to take the time to get to know each other better before making a decision.
Now, a year has passed, and Yu Qianqian's parents' attitude has remained unchanged.
Because of Deng Zhouyi's "illustrious status," she hesitated to agree to marry her daughter to him.
After listening, the old man tapped his fingers lightly on the rim of his teacup, pondered for a moment, and then said:
"This matter cannot be delayed. Zijing's decision to bring Ayi to visit the girl's parents shows a lack of sincerity."
Hesitating now means you won't even get to see A-Yi's parents, treating it like a joke. Put yourself in their shoes.
If Qianqian were our daughter, and we haven't seen any response from the elders, with the younger generation handling things instead, would you feel at ease?"
Teng Junhao nodded and said approvingly, "Father is right. Ayi grew up in my Teng family."
As elders of the Teng family, we can't stand idly by this time. In my opinion, we should accompany the child on another trip to Q City!
After several days of discussion, the old man finally made the decision, arranging for a military helicopter, and deciding that Teng Junhao would accompany Ling Ya.
He accompanied Deng Zhouyi and his mother, along with Yu Qianqian, to fly to Q City to personally visit them and finalize the children's marriage arrangements.
The helicopter engine roared as it soared through the clear blue sky.
The hum of the spinning propellers cut through the sky as it flew straight toward the helipad in Q City.
Inside the cabin, Deng Zhouyi sat close to Deng Min, while Yu Qianqian softly comforted the slightly nervous Deng Min.
"Aunt Deng, is this your first time flying? Me too, I'm a tiny bit scared..."
After Yu Qianqian finished speaking, she grasped Deng Min's hand tightly, and the two looked at each other and smiled shyly.
She didn't forget to exchange a glance with Deng Zhouyi, filled with anticipation for the future.
Teng Junhao and Ling Ya sat on the other side, talking in hushed tones about how to phrase their conversation when they met, their words full of tact and concern.
"When you see Qianqian's parents, don't always have that icy face, like you're dealing with a debt collector," Ling Ya said reproachfully.
“I know, but these are habits I’ve developed over the years that I can’t change overnight. Please remind me.” Teng Junhao instructed.
Upon arrival at the Q City tarmac, the cabin door slowly opened. Deng Zhouyi was the first to stand up, helping Deng Min along.
Deng Min naturally took Yu Qianqian's hand and steadily walked off the plane.
Deng Min gazed at her new surroundings, a mix of emotions swirling within her. A ray of setting sun cast long, slanted shadows.
Following closely behind was Teng Junhao, who held Ling Ya's hand with a calm and steady gait, exuding a composed aura.
Several assistants followed behind, carrying large and small bags of gifts, containing carefully selected tonics, fine teas, and handicrafts.
These were all gifts for Mr. and Mrs. Yu, showing sincerity without being inappropriate.
The wind on the tarmac carried a slight chill, but it couldn't dispel the solemnity in everyone's hearts.
Deng Zhouyi gazed at the distant outline of Q City, and tightened his grip on Qianqian's hand beside him—
With the Teng family's personal support this time, he believed he could dispel the concerns of the Yu family elders and give Qianqian a stable future.
Several hotel shuttle buses drove smoothly through the bustling streets of Q City.
Outside the car window, crowds thronged the streets, and shops lined the streets, exuding a strong sense of daily life.
The convoy drove along the road and finally came to a smooth stop in front of a high-end hotel.
Upon seeing this, the security guard in professional attire at the entrance immediately stepped forward and skillfully opened the rear door of the car.
Teng Junhao got out of the car first, turned around and gentlemanly took Ling Ya's hand, helping her slowly step up the stairs.
Looking up, you can see the four large, gold-plated characters "All Seasons Hotel" above the hotel entrance.
It shines brightly under the sunlight, exuding a simple yet stylish charm.
Immediately afterward, Deng Zhouyi got out of the car, went around to the other side, and helped his mother, Deng Min.
Yu Qianqian followed closely beside Deng Min, whispering some instructions.
The group was led by a waiter towards the hotel lobby, where the marble floor gleamed like a mirror.
A faint fragrance filled the air, instantly relieving the fatigue of the journey.
Several security guards took the gifts from the assistant, and after carefully counting and registering them,
They were then properly delivered to the pre-arranged room for storage. The whole process was orderly, showing thoughtfulness without disrupting the guests' schedule.
As you enter the lobby, the receptionist is already there with a smile: "Mr. Teng, Mrs. Teng, Mr. Deng,"
"Thank you for your long journey. The rooms have been prepared as booked. This way, please."
As he spoke, he led everyone toward the elevator. A meeting concerning the children's future was about to begin in this elegant space.
At dinner time, the warm yellow lights in the restaurant made the dishes on the table appear even more abundant.
The waiter stood quietly in the corner, occasionally coming forward to refill everyone's wine, water, and tea, his movements gentle and perfectly maintaining the atmosphere at the table.
Teng Junhao picked up his wine glass, looked around, and said loudly, "Come on, everyone, raise your glasses."
This first toast today is a wish for a smooth and successful conclusion to our children's affairs!
A hint of embarrassment appeared on Deng Zhouyi's face, and he quickly raised his glass in response: "Thank you for your trouble, Uncle Teng."
Deng Min also stood up, holding her wine glass with both hands. She first clinked glasses with Ling Ya, then turned to Teng Junhao, her voice full of gratitude:
"Thank you, Madam, thank you, Sir, for going to so much trouble for my son, Ayi. I... I don't know how to thank you enough."
Teng Junhao waved his hand, his smile gentle: "Amin, you flatter me. These years..."
Instead of saying that we took care of you and your child, it would be more accurate to say that you have always helped take care of the household, never causing us any trouble.
We're no longer strangers; our friendship runs deep. From now on, we're family, so let's not stand on ceremony. Cheers!
"Cheers!" Everyone stood up, their glasses clinking together with a crisp sound.
Wishing everyone all your wishes come true and your families happiness!
"May everything go smoothly and as you wish for the children!" Warmth flowed as glasses clinked.
Deng Zhouyi secretly glanced at Yu Qianqian beside him; she was also looking at him with a smile in her eyes.
Looking at the harmonious scene before her, Deng Min felt a sense of peace even in the fine lines around her eyes;
Ling Ya and Teng Junhao exchanged a smile, their hands tightening slightly as they raised their glasses—
This toast is not only to the present good fortune, but also to the long-lasting family ties and peace that lie ahead.
Everyone tilted their heads back and drank their wine in one gulp before taking their seats. Teng Junhao turned his gaze to Yu Qianqian.
She asked gently, "Qianqian, did you mention our trip to your parents?"
Yu Qianqian put down her wine glass, her cheeks slightly flushed, and said softly, "Not yet."
I called them before, but no one answered. It was probably too noisy in the workshop, and they didn't hear me.
Teng Junhao nodded and then asked, "What do your parents do for a living?"
"I work in a garment factory in town. I leave early and return late every day. It's quite hard work."
"I'll try calling again later," Yu Qianqian replied truthfully.
“Okay, no rush.” Just as Teng Junhao finished speaking, Yu Qianqian’s phone rang.
She quickly took out her phone, glanced at the screen, and said to everyone, "It was my mom calling. She must have just finished get off work and saw the missed call."
Deng Zhouyi urged softly from the side, "Hurry up and answer it."
Yu Qianqian pressed the answer button, her voice tinged with laughter: "Hello, Mom, just got off work?"
A slightly reproachful voice came from the other end of the phone: "Yes, my child, how long has it been since you called home? Is everything alright?"
"Mom, I'm fine. It's so dark outside, please be careful on the road, Dad."
"It's okay, I'm used to going twice a day, I could walk home with my eyes closed. By the way, have you eaten yet, it's so late."
Don't try to lose weight blindly like others. You need to eat to survive; if you make yourself weak and frail, you won't be able to do anything.
"Mom, I'm not on a diet, I'm eating right now."
"Alright, you eat. Don't worry about us. Your dad and I are doing fine."
Yu's mother paused for a moment, then changed the subject, "By the way, Qianqian, are you still seeing that boy Deng Zhouyi?"
“Yes, we…” Yu Qianqian was interrupted by her mother before she could finish speaking.
"Listen to your mother, you two aren't a good match! Break up as soon as possible! Do you know what that guy is doing all day?"
Yu Qianqian subconsciously looked at Deng Zhouyi, only to see his expression instantly become serious, his hands clenched tightly under the table, and his eyes filled with apprehension.
"What? What did he do?" Yu Qianqian's voice was a little tense.
“He…” Yu’s mother choked up, her hands gripping the phone trembling slightly with anger.
There was a brief pause on the other end of the phone before Yu's father grabbed the phone and shouted angrily, "He tried to throw money at people!"
"This past year has passed..."
Yu's father, his voice heavy with resentment, said, "Do you know what happened this past year? Your second uncle and aunt both bought houses in the city!"
Yu Qianqian's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Deng Zhouyi again, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Deng Zhouyi felt his face burning, wishing he could disappear into the ground.
"Your second uncle and aunt are always dragging their relatives and friends around, following us around like we're nothing."
They said he was such a good man, so handsome and capable, and that Qianqian would enjoy endless wealth and luxury if she married him.
"Grandma...to hell with all that wealth and glory!" Yu's father couldn't help but swear.
He did give his second uncle and aunt a lot of money, but he never intended to use money to bribe them.
He just wanted to comfort Mr. and Mrs. Yu through his second uncle and aunt, but he never thought that it would be misunderstood as "spending money to win people's hearts".
"How can we, as parents, entrust our lives to such a morally corrupt person?!"
The final "ah" carried a questioning tone and a deep sense of disappointment, as if heartbroken by the daughter's stubbornness and utterly disheartened by Deng Zhouyi's "methods".
Mr. Yu's voice, filled with deep disappointment and anger, came through the receiver clearly, instantly making the atmosphere in the restaurant heavy.
Yu Qianqian held her phone, her fingertips trembling slightly, unsure how to respond.
Deng Zhouyi lowered his head, feeling a tightness in his chest, as if something was blocking his throat.
Teng Junhao and Ling Ya exchanged a glance, a knowing look flashing in their eyes—it seemed that this trip to Q City was more troublesome than expected.
