After the betrothal gift negotiation collapsed, I turned around and married a wealthy man.

Qin Ce said: "That Lily has been belittling your cousin intentionally or unintentionally, making your cousin feel inferior and feeling that he is not worthy of her. In this way, all Lily's actions become reasonable."

"Uh..." Qiao Xing stared at him eagerly, half understanding.

Qin Ce raised his forehead and pinched his brows: "Relationships without conflicts of interest are always the most peaceful. If Lily degrades your cousin to a certain level, your cousin will brainwash himself. He is already so bad. , Lily can just leave him, why would she do anything to make him sorry? It's not worth Lily's time to spend time on him."

Qiao Xing understood now, and it reminded her of Lin Yu, who was so kind to her when there was no conflict of interest.

The two of them had almost never quarreled before, but when it came to the house, he immediately fell out.

Qiao Xing looked a little disappointed. She looked at Qin Ce and said, "What does Lily want?"

Qiao Xing and Wang Ye had the same doubts. Since she could choose a better one, why did she insist on marrying Wang Ye and not take Wang Ye to heart.

Qin Ce looked at her deeply and opened his mouth, not knowing what to tell her.

"You care about your cousin?" he just asked.

Qiao Xing nodded, "My cousin is very good to me. If it hadn't been for him when I was young, I don't know how many children I would have bullied."

Qiao Xing still remembers that one time a child in the community called her a wild child without parents. Wang Ye rushed up and beat the child till her nose was black and her face was swollen.

He also said that she was not a wild child. She had grandparents, cousins, and many family members.

"Okay, go to bed early. Don't you have something to do tomorrow?" Qin Ce reminded her.

Qiao Xing also came to his senses. He had to go to transfer the house tomorrow, so he had to go to bed early.

Early the next morning, when Qiao Xing woke up, Qin Ce had already left.

She remembered that she didn't have to go to the company today, so she went back to sleep. Anyway, her uncle and the others got up late.

It was almost nine o'clock when Qiao Xing got up. Sure enough, his uncle had already gotten up.

"Uncle." Qiao Xing greeted him.

As soon as his uncle put breakfast on the table, he saw Qiao Xing and said with a smile, "Xingxing, you're up, it's time to start eating."

"Where's aunt? She's not back yet."

"I guess it will be later. I might still be in the car now."

"Oh."

Qiao Xing went to the bathroom to wash up, then came out and sat at the dining table. Her uncle had already served her a bowl of porridge.

Qiao Xing glanced at his uncle. His skin was very dark due to the wind and sun, and his face and hands were covered with cracks caused by the wind. They were the kind of black lines caused by repeated cracking and healing.

If you stand outside, you will see a very typical image of a migrant worker. You can tell at a glance what he does.

The old man had worked hard for most of his life, and all the money he earned was spent on Wang Ye. Qiao Xing sighed secretly, lowered his head and took a sip of porridge.

After a while, Wang Ye also got up. He was wearing slippers, his hair was messy, and he walked over listlessly.

He sat next to Qiao Xing and said, "Cousin, are you on holiday today?"

"No, I'm asking for leave. I'll check in soon." Qiao Xing said.

"Oh." Wang Ye scratched his hair. In the past few days, his whole body had become haggard at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Qiao Xing looked a little worried. Getting married should be a happy event, so why would he be so depressed?

Wang Ye could not feel the joy of entering the marriage hall at all.

Wang Ye ate silently without saying a word.

His uncle also saw his unhappiness. He looked in the bedroom and saw that Lily hadn't gotten up yet.

He whispered: "Xiao Ye, your mother is not here now. Tell me the truth. Do you not want to get married?"

Wang Ye made a move, and he was stunned for a while before he raised his head and looked at his uncle.

He opened his mouth, hesitated to speak, and finally said a few words, "No, don't think about it."

The uncle sighed, "We are both men, and you are my son. Don't I know what you are thinking?"

If he really wanted to get married, he wouldn't be so depressed.

Wang Ye took a big sip of porridge and then said: "Her and I have taken wedding photos, booked the hotel, and paid the deposit for the drinks. How can we not get married?"

All the money his parents earned went into it. How could he live up to his parents if he didn't get married?

Now that he and Lily are married, it is no longer a matter of love, but something involving many interests.

Qiao Xing suddenly asked: "By the way, uncle, didn't Lily say last time that the in-laws you met were not her parents? Then have you met her real parents?"

This question was on point, and both her uncle and Wang Ye turned to look at her.

Wang Ye said: "I haven't seen it before."

"Then if you get married, will her parents come?" Qiao Xing asked again.

Wang Ye shook his head and said, "She said her home is in a ravine and it's too far to come."

"This..." Qiao Xing didn't know what to say for a moment. For such a big event as marriage, it should come no matter how far away it is.

Wang Ye scratched his hair and said a little irritably: "Let's wait until then. If not, I will pick them up."

"Do you know where her hometown is?"

"I know. I've seen her ID card. I'll find out if I go there and ask."

Wang Ye had looked at Lily's ID card before. The address was indeed in the mountains, but Lily said at that time that they had moved to the city and the ID card had not been changed yet.

After Lily's last 'confession', it seemed that the address on the ID card was correct.

The uncle said: "Then while there is still time, go and pick them up, so that our in-laws can meet and get familiar with each other."

"Okay, let me take a look and go when I have time." Wang Ye made up his mind to pick up Lily's parents.

Otherwise, he would always feel uneasy, always feeling that he didn't understand Lily well enough, and had the illusion that she would disappear at any time.

It would be different if she met her parents, at least she would have some confidence in her heart.

Qiao Xing thought for a moment and said, "Are you going alone? If it's not too far, I'll go with you."

She was not worried about Wang Ye going alone.

"Okay, let's schedule a weekend, I'll check the route, and we can go together."

Wang Ye didn't think too much. He simply felt that when his father-in-law was nervous and couldn't speak, Qiao Xing could help her out.

The main reason is that my father-in-law is a little timid and I want to have a companion.

As soon as these words were said, Lily came out, and the two of them had a tacit understanding not to discuss this topic again.

There was a fight last night, and Lily stayed at home honestly today and didn't go out. She sat on the sofa playing with her phone and watching TV shows.

Near noon, my aunt came back.

"Xingxing didn't go to work today?" my aunt asked while changing her shoes.

The uncle quickly took over and said: "Xingxing is taking leave to wait for you to come back. Where did you put the real estate certificate? Let's go and transfer the house today."

My aunt made a move and looked a little unnatural. She sneered and said, "Are you in such a hurry?"
