Chapter 291: Chapter 286: Meeting the Parents

Ji Tian couldn’t wait to put the beef skewers in, “Qin Jiangsheng, eat them while they’re hot. You’ve never had this delicacy before, right? It’s really tasty, but my family doesn’t let me eat too much of it. So let’s take this chance and eat a bit more.”

She placed the cooked beef skewers in front of Qin Jiangsheng, “Eat, eat quickly.”

Qin Jiangsheng reached back to receive them, “Thank you.”

He truly hadn’t eaten these things before. When he was young, Qin Wantang didn’t care whether he was hungry or not and seldom took him out. Afraid of the outside world, he could only gaze out the window each day until he heard the door. Only then would he put on his shoes and run to Qin Wantang, and that was the only time he would get a meal.

Sometimes it was a half-eaten piece of bread, other times a drink with just a sip left, a boiled egg mashed with the shell, biscuits dropped on the ground and covered in dust.

He only got something delicious when she remembered; if she forgot, he was left to drink tap water in his hunger.

When he ran away from the orphanage…

Qin Jiangsheng suddenly paused at this point.

In his previous life, he had stayed in the orphanage until he was fifteen before being found and taken back by Mo Jiu.

So why had he run away from the orphanage at seven, suffered outside until fifteen before returning to Mo Jiu’s care? Because he was wary of human nature, he hadn’t trusted as blindly in this life as he had in his previous life.

Thus, from the age of seven, the storyline of this world had already started changing, eventually pulled back by some mysterious force, and he still met Mo Jiu.

But ever since he got in touch with Ji Tian… the plot that was supposed to revolve around him had veered off course…

He focused on remembering the little girl who helped him leave the orphanage, recalling only her pretty princess dress, her jade-like adorable face, and how she kindly looked back and waved at him after he had run away.

Qin Jiangsheng was lost in thought, and before he realized it, the dishes in front of him had piled into a small mountain.

Ji Tian was very serious when she ate; had she not seen him sit motionless, she wouldn’t have offered him any food.

She frowned, “What’s the matter? Isn’t it tasty? You haven’t touched it.”

Qin Jiangsheng snapped out of his reverie, picked up a piece of broccoli with his chopsticks, “It’s delicious. When I was young, I couldn’t afford it, and when I grew up, I didn’t have the time. This is my first time trying this delight. Could you take me out to try more foods I haven’t tasted before?”

Ji Tian, feeling deep sympathy, readily agreed, “Sure, we’ll eat our way through college, trying all the delicacies across the country!”

Qin Jiangsheng smiled, then added, “Alright. By the way, isn’t your brother going to bring your new sister-in-law by soon? You might want to be careful.”

Although puzzled, Ji Tian made a mental note of it.

…

After Christmas came Saturday.

The snow was still falling outside.

Ji Lingyun’s car drove into the garden.

He got out of the car and walked around to the other side, opening the door to lead a woman out.

He brought her into the hall where everyone except Ji Qilin was present in the family.

Qiao Luhua was watching television on the couch, Ji Yanshang was, as usual, reading a newspaper, and Ji Tian was keeping Qiao Luhua company with Ji Weinan.

When they noticed someone entering.

Qiao Luhua looked up with surprise in her eyes, “Da Bao, is this the girlfriend you mentioned?”

Overhearing this, Ji Tian also looked over, unsurprised to see that it was Wen Jiangxue.

Compared to her usual glamorous appearance, she was dressed much more modestly this time.

Ji Lingyun introduced, “Mom, dad, this is the woman I’ve told you about, the one I’m marrying. Her name is Wen Jiangxue.”

Wen Jiangxue was somewhat reserved, “Uncle, auntie, hello. It’s nice to meet you for the first time. You can just call me Xiao Xue.”
