They met in a quiet and secluded cafe not far from AFF and asked for a private room.

When Xiao Qinke first saw her, she found it unbelievable. Be it height, appearance, or temperament, they were too similar. It was as if her biological parents had come alive.

“Since it’s acting, you’ll have to find professional actors. In order to ensure that there are no logical loopholes in your scenes tomorrow, I’ll send them back to A City after you guys are done chatting with them. You can pick them up tomorrow,” Lin Wanli said to Xiao Qinke. “I’ve already let them look at your parents’ information and understand your parents’ habits and quirks. You can give it a try and test them now.”

Xiao Qinke looked at the tall and thin man. He always kept his hair in a 30 – 70 split and had a mole on his temples. When he smiled, he looked gentle and refined. At that moment, she really could not tell if he was real or fake.

“Keke, Father is back.”

Xiao Qinke’s eyes immediately turned red. She looked at ‘Mother Xiao’ again. She wasn’t tall and was a little plump. The two dimples on her face made her look pretty.

“Silly child, why are you crying?

Xiao Qinke didn’t know if she had fallen into a dream. It took her a long time to control her emotions. She murmured, “I’m sorry. I just miss my parents too much.”

At this time, Lin Wanli raised her watch and glanced at it. Then, she said, “If you have any questions, look for Yan Qiu. I have to go back to work.”

“Thank you, Miss Lin.”

“I’ll also be at the hotel tomorrow.” After Lin Wanli said this, she left the private room in her high heels. They still had to arrange for special guests tomorrow. If it was just these two actors, they might not be able to convince the Zhou family. Therefore, they had to invite the almighty person tomorrow to make the family completely believe in the Xiao family’s financial resources.

On the other hand, Lin Wanli found two people who looked like the Xiao family’s parents to comfort Xiao Qinke. She knew what it was like to lose a loved one, especially when her parents passed away because of her. The pain and regret were probably incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Thinking of her parents’ cold corpses and then thinking of Zhou Tingyang’s smug and disgusting face, how many days and nights had Xiao Qinke tossed and turned, her clothes wet with tears?

Tomorrow would be the start of the next half of Zhou Tingyang’s life.

The next day, Xiao Qinke and Zhou Tingyang went to the airport to pick them up. At around nine o’clock, a middle-aged couple with outstanding temperament appeared in front of them.

“Dad, Mom, I missed you guys so much.” Xiao Qinke dragged Zhou Tingyang and pounced over to hug his parents.

Father Xiao hugged Xiao Qinke and sized her up. He asked, “Why did you lose weight?”

“That’s not important. Quick, let me introduce you to your son-in-law, Zhou

Tingyang! ”

Zhou Tingyang hurriedly bowed to the two of them nervously and greeted,

“Uncle! Auntie!”

“You’re still calling them uncle and auntie?” Xiao Qinke reminded him excitedly, “It’s time to change your way of greeting them.”

“There’s no hurry to change. Let’s meet his parents first,” Father Xiao said before Zhou Tingyang changed his mind. His expression was serious, as if he had no intention of accepting Zhou Tingyang.

“That’s right, Ke’er. How can you not tell Dad and Mom about your wedding?” Mother Xiao was also unhappy. She continued, “You’re the apple of our eye.

There are so many young talents outside…”

“Mom, it’s not appropriate to talk about this now.” Xiao Qinke reminded the two of them and said, “Let’s go. Tingyang has prepared a welcoming banquet for you. Let’s go to the hotel first.”

Zhou Tingyang guessed that the Xiao parents would not accept him so quickly. After all, it was indeed inappropriate for them to register their marriage without informing her parents.

However, perhaps because they were mature entrepreneurs, the two of them did not look down on him at all. It just felt that they were angry because their daughter got married like this.

The family talked a lot along the way, especially Mother Xiao. She was worried about her daughter and even fell ill.

Xiao Qinke’s heart ached so much that tears came out. She hugged her mother and said, “Mom, I’ll never leave you again.”

“You’re already someone else’s daughter-in-law after marrying here. It’ll be strange if you still remember Mom!” Mother Xiao rebuked.

Zhou Tingyang could tell that this family had a good relationship.

When they arrived at the hotel, Zhou Tingyang accompanied them to check in and moved their luggage in. Then, he brought the three of them to the banquet hall.

At this moment in the banquet hall, Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou were still at odds. They did not say a word and did not speak to each other. When the Xiao parents appeared, the two of them immediately put on smiles and went up to them. “In-laws, it is truly a pleasure to meet the both of you.”

Father Xiao looked calm and reserved, with the unique temperament of an entrepreneur. At a glance, people knew that his business was very successful. As for Mother Xiao, she had a look of good fortune on her face, especially her smile, which made people feel at ease.

Both parties sat down, and then it was Mother Zhou who started the conversation.

“I’m sorry, In-laws. Originally, their marriage should have been carried out according to the marriage customs. After all, they are not from small families. However, the two of them really like each other too much. They didn’t even inform the adults when they registered their marriage. We were helpless, but we were indeed in the wrong. We hope you can forgive us.”

“Don’t say such polite words.” Father Xiao said, “Since it’s a foregone conclusion and Ke’er has always liked him, as her father, I can only give in. However, if you want to marry my daughter, I want to see your sincerity. But according to Ke’er, she has to pay for the wedding house, right?” Father Xiao coldly glanced at the Zhou family and said these words.

“Dad, it’s only 100 million,” Xiao Qinke whispered in his ear.

“It doesn’t matter how many hundred million it is. It represents the sincerity of the other party. According to the rules of A City, the bride’s family will bring back double the betrothal gift given by the in-laws in order to seek a happy marriage for their daughter. Moreover, the marriage house must be prepared by the man. Of course, if the Zhou Group is really in trouble, I’ll treat the wedding house as your betrothal gift, but it must be paid in full.”

The Zhou family did not expect Father Xiao to be so direct and go straight to the betrothal gift.

“Dad, I still want to exchange for that 200 million yuan wedding house.” Xiao Qinke shook Father Xiao’s arm coquettishly.

“If it’s 200 million, then 200 million. At most, I’ll double your dowry.” Father

Xiao promised Xiao Qinke. Then, he continued, “But the prerequisite is that the

Zhou family is not sincere enough.”

It was definitely not an easy task for the Zhou Group to buy a house with 200 million yuan paid in full. Because of the heavy losses they had suffered in recent days, the Zhou Group already had a problem with cash flow. If they suddenly took out 200 million yuan to buy a house, it would be equivalent to putting the Zhou Group on top of the stove to be cooked.

“I also like that 200 million yuan house.” Mother Zhou didn’t know anything, but she knew that there was something she could take advantage of. She didn’t understand the difficulties of the Zhou Group. She only knew that Zhou Tingyang was about to climb up to a wealthy family.

However, Father Zhou doubted Father Xiao’s financial ability.

He had never heard of any impressive tycoons in A City.

Therefore, Father Zhou didn’t say anything. He looked at Father Xiao suspiciously.

Father Xiao received Father Zhou’s scrutinizing gaze and asked unhappily, “Mr. Zhou, what do you mean with that gaze of yours?”

“You’ve misunderstood, In-law. I just want to understand our in-laws. May I ask what business you’re doing now?”

“Zhongyue Oil. Have you heard of it?” Father Xiao asked Father Zhou. Then, he commented, “But of course, based on the size of the Zhou Group, it’s not surprising that you haven’t heard of it..”
