After a flash marriage, I found myself marrying into a wealthy family
Chapter 25 Candlelight Dinner
Qiao Yue spent almost all her free time with her father-in-law and mother-in-law in China these days.
But they all respected her time.
When Qiao Yue goes to school, they won't bother her.
As soon as she finishes class, they will come to pick her up for dinner.
My mother-in-law has been abroad for a long time and has a very open-minded and lively personality. She often takes Qiao Yue to go shopping and explore stores.
They are more like sisters than mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Ji Beichen also participates from time to time and is responsible for some tasks of swiping credit cards and carrying bags.
Ji's parents stayed in China for five days before setting off back to Canada.
Qiao Yue and Ji Beichen both took the time to take them to the airport.
In fact, Qiao Yue found it strange that her father-in-law was actually young and very energetic, but he handed over the family business to his son early and retreated behind the scenes.
Moreover, the couple has lived in Canada for many years and rarely returns to China. Instead, Ji Beichen and his younger brother often fly to visit them.
What is the reason that makes the couple leave their elders in the family, their youngest son who is still in high school, and a large family business behind, and insist on living abroad for many years without returning to settle in China?
On the way back to the city center from the airport, Qiao Yue began to be in a daze again, thinking about these things in her mind.
"Why do you get so confused when you're in the car?" Ji Beichen asked her.
"Ah... no." Qiao Yue replied.
She asked politely, "Why don't your parents stay with us for a while?"
Ji Beichen held the steering wheel and glanced at her, "You probably want to ask something else, right?"
"...You've guessed it," Qiao Yue looked at him, "If you want to say it, you can say it. It doesn't matter if you don't want to."
She is just curious, and if there is some secret gossip that is not convenient to talk about, she won't mind.
"There are indeed some things. Although they are complicated to say, you have to know sooner or later." Ji Beichen said slowly.
"My mother actually gave birth to three sons."
Qiao Yue was surprised, she thought it was just Ji Beichen and her brother.
"I also have an older brother who is a few years older than me. He died in a car accident five years ago."
"I'm sorry..." Qiao Yue felt sorry for bringing up this topic.
Ji Beichen didn't respond to her and continued.
"My brother has had high hopes from the whole family since he was a child. The family treats him with love and strictness. He is also very ambitious and has done well in his career in the group."
"But something unexpected happened. He died in a car accident. My mother was heartbroken. She would think of my brother when she stayed in China, so she had no choice but to move to Canada. My father was afraid that something would happen to her alone, so he accompanied her there."
"In addition, my brother had a girlfriend who was pregnant at the time, with a posthumous child, and she was also in Canada. My mother went over to see her grandson, and her mood recovered faster."
After hearing what he said, Qiao Yue's heart couldn't help but ache.
It turns out there is such a story.
The story behind is not difficult to guess. After my brother passed away, my grandfather got older and my father wanted to accompany my mother to go abroad to relax.
Therefore, Ji Beichen became the most suitable candidate to inherit the family business.
Over the past few years, he has lived up to expectations, shouldered the burden of the family, and managed the company better and better.
After listening to this past incident, Qiao Yue gained a new understanding of Ji Beichen.
When they first met, she thought he was a rich second generation who was idle and only spent money.
After learning his identity later, I just thought that he was a young man who inherited the family business and did a good job.
Now, she feels that Ji Beichen is a very responsible and responsible man. He loves his family and is willing to force himself to take on heavy responsibilities for the sake of the family.
Maybe marrying Qiao Yue was part of his sacrifice for his family.
Thinking of this, Qiao Yue actually admired and loved him a little.
"What? It's not a story about the grudges of wealthy families. Are you disappointed?" Ji Beichen calmed down and teased her.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Qiao Yue said.
"Thank you for sharing this story and answering my curiosity."
Ji Beichen said leisurely, "It's nothing, it's all in the past."
Qiao Yue: "You're right, the most important thing for a person is the present, the present. Then let's think about it, what should we eat tonight?"
"So sudden?"
"It's not sudden. I promised to cook you a meal before," Qiao Yue said, "Are you not free tonight?"
"...When I'm free, I'll go back after get off work."
"Okay." Qiao Yue took out her phone and started studying tonight's recipes.
Because Qiao Yue had classes at school in the afternoon, Ji Beichen dropped her off at the school gate and left.
On the way back to the company, he called his assistant Xiao Lin.
"Hey, Mr. Ji!"
Ji Beichen ordered while driving, "You can ask Vice President Liu to go to the business dinner for me tonight. I have other arrangements."
Xiao Lin replied, "Oh, okay, do I need to book a restaurant for you?"
"No, I'll go home and eat."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Lin was in a daze.
Is this still his boss?
He was a cold and callous workaholic before marriage. After marriage, he actually turned down his job and said he wanted to go home for dinner. This is how he turned into a maniac who dotes on his wife!
It seems that this boss lady is really no ordinary person!
After Qiao Yue finished her afternoon class, she took the car directly back home.
There is a supermarket opposite Xingchen Washington. The ingredients in it are quite high-end. It is obviously equipped for a wealthy community like theirs.
Qiao Yue thought that today was a special day for cooking for Ji Beichen, so she decided to buy more expensive ingredients to suit his taste.
Before five o'clock, Qiao Yue returned home with a bunch of ingredients and went directly into the kitchen to start preparing today's dinner.
For two people to eat, Qiao Yue planned to make smaller portions and more variety.
During this time, Qiao Yue discovered that Ji Beichen liked to eat Western food.
So tonight’s menu is also all Western food.
She fried two steaks, cooked a cream of mushroom soup, baked mussels in white wine, and finally made two soufflés in the oven for dessert.
After working for more than an hour, around 6:30, Qiao Yue heard someone opening the door. It was Ji Beichen who was back.
As soon as Master Ji entered the door, he could already smell the faint aroma of food.
Qiao Yue poked her head out of the kitchen, "You're back, wash your hands and get ready to eat."
Then he retreated back to cooking dinner.
Ji Beichen was stunned for a moment, then he was amused by her words and actions.
Is he a child? He needs to be told to wash his hands before he can eat.
Young Master Ji obediently washed his hands. When he returned to the dining room, food was already placed on the table.
The dishes looked delicious and delicious. Ji Beichen opened the wine cabinet with great interest and opened a bottle of red wine.
The two of them sat down, and Ji Beichen poured himself a glass of red wine leisurely.
"Why do you only pour it for yourself?" Qiao Yue snorted, "I have cooked so many dishes for you to eat."
Ji Beichen: "I don't want to serve a drunkard."
Qiao Yue suddenly remembered how drunk she was on her cousin's wedding day.
She explained guiltily, "I...drank too much that day. I shouldn't be drunk if I drink a little."
"Drink this, this is suitable for you." Ji Beichen poured her a glass of orange juice.
Qiao Yue: "...Alright."
She picked up the orange juice and said, "Today's meal is made for you. Thank you for your great help when I met my parents-in-law. It's a pleasure to cooperate."
Ji Beichen nodded, his lips slightly curved, "Yes, I'm quite sincere. We'll continue to cooperate in the future."
The two clinked glasses.
Just when I picked up the knife and fork to cut the steak, suddenly, the lights in the room went out.
The light disappeared from the house and it was suddenly plunged into darkness.
Only with the faint moonlight can we see the other person's face clearly.
"What's going on?" Qiao Yue took out her mobile phone.
Ji Beichen also turned on the flashlight in his cell phone, then walked to the balcony to take a look.
Qiao Yue thought about what happened the day she first moved in, "It couldn't be that the circuit breaker in our house tripped again."
Ji Beichen answered, "Probably not, the whole community has no power."
"Let me ask the property manager," Qiao Yue just opened WeChat and received a message from the property manager.
Qiao Yue: "It's because the subway was built nearby and the cables were cut. There was a power outage in the entire area."
Ji Beichen nodded, "Okay."
The power went out before we even started eating. It was pitch dark and it was inconvenient.
Ji Beichen came over and said to Qiao Yue, "Let's go out to eat. I'll drive."
"Ah? What should I do with these things? It's such a waste, and I've been cooking them for so long." Qiao Yue said.
"Put it in the refrigerator?" Ji Beichen suggested.
Qiao Yue thought for a while and suddenly had a plan in mind, "Wait for me!"
Then he ran into the room.
Ji Beichen looked puzzled, but waited patiently to see what tricks she could pull off.
After a while, Qiao Yue walked out of the room with a bunch of things in her arms.
As she approached, Ji Beichen saw clearly that she was holding a bunch of candles.
"Why do you still have this?" Ji Beichen was also convinced.
Qiao Yue: "Your mother, my mother-in-law gave me a scented candle."
Ji Beichen suddenly realized.
Qiao Yue placed candles all over the table and lit them one by one.
"There is no power in the corridors now, and the elevators have stopped. It's very troublesome to go out. How about we have scented candles with Western food, and it can be considered a...candlelight dinner."
As Ji Beichen watched, beams of candlelight pierced the darkness, and a smile slowly appeared on Qiao Yue's face.
She seems to be easily satisfied.
In this situation, we can find solutions in an emotionally stable manner, instead of just being afraid or complaining.
The room is full of candlelight, and the atmosphere looks quite warm and romantic.
Ji Beichen sat down and accepted this incredible but interesting candlelight dinner.
