When Gong Qiu was eighteen years old, she received a call from Gong Deyi after school on a drizzly day.
"Qiu Yi, are you free today? Come to my house." There was a majestic voice on the other end of the phone, but there was a hint of exhaustion in his tone.
"Is there something urgent?" Gong Qiu thought for a moment and asked.
"That's right." Gong Deyi was silent for a while and then answered in a positive tone.
"I understand." Gong Qiuyi immediately ended the call. She hadn't seen Gong Deyi for a long time, but she really missed him.
She is the third among the four sisters in the Gong family, and is also the one least loved by Gong Deyi. The reason is simply because her mother Hu Yin and Gong Deyi divorced due to emotional discord.
However, the wonderful thing is that although she is not favored by Gong Deyi, she has an extremely harmonious relationship with her two other half-sisters and an adopted sister.
Walking on the cobblestone tree-lined path, Gong Qiu dialed Hu Yin's phone number. She was now living with Hu Yin.
The call was quickly connected, and a weak-sounding female voice came through: "Qiu Yi."
"Mom, dad called me just now and said there was an emergency and asked me to go there." Gong Qiuyi said truthfully.
"Emergency?" Hu Yin was startled, then said: "Then go ahead and come back early. If he forces you to do something, you can call me."
"Yeah." Gong Qiu nodded.
She took a taxi and soon arrived at Gong's house. The area where Gong's house is located is a wealthy area. In a sea-view community, there are three-story villas that can see the magnificent surrounding sea and sky.
Gong Qiu has not been back here for a long time. The last time was half a year ago, just because of her fourth sister's birthday.
Gong Deyi greeted her at the door early, and she couldn't help but find it a little funny that her father, who had always disliked her, would greet her so solemnly.
"Qiu Yi, you have lost weight." Gong Deyi stepped forward and gently stroked Gong Qiu Yi's wind-blown hair.
"Dad." Gong Qiu hugged him gently.
"Qiu Yi." Two happy voices came from behind.
One of them is the eldest sister Gong Chunxiao, who is full of mature and noble temperament, and the other is the bright and charming second sister Gong Xiazhi. The two of them stepped forward and gave Gong Qiu a big hug.
"It's a pity that Dongli is away training, otherwise the family would be reunited." Gong Deyi couldn't help but sigh.
"It would be perfect if I brought my mother back." Gong Qiu couldn't help but interjected.
Gong Deyi's expression changed slightly. He seemed to be taboo about hearing anything about Gong Qiu's mother. He shook his head: "You know, your mother and I don't get along."
He sighed and then changed the subject: "Qiu Yi, come in, dad will cook today."
The Gong family has a chef, but this time Gong Deyi cooked the food himself. The meaning of this is self-evident.
Although Gong Qiuyi was only eighteen years old, she lived with her mother when she was very young, which caused her to understand the ways of the world earlier.
She could guess that Gong Deyi wanted something from him. She also thought of Hu Yin's words, if he forces you, call her.
"Sister, how are you and my brother-in-law doing lately?" While Gong Deyi was cooking, Gong Qiu asked about Gong Chunxiao's current situation.
"I'm not married yet, so don't yell like the eldest brother-in-law." A flush appeared on Gong Chunxiao's clean face, and then she said coyly: "What else can I do? That's it!"
Gong Qiu almost didn't take a picture of this expression. The eldest sister, who has always been a model of strong women, would show such an expression. No one would believe her if she told her.
"Qiu Yi, you can also fall in love." The second sister Gong Xiazhi said suddenly, and then showed a naughty expression: "Are you jealous of the sweet relationship between the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law?"
"Second sister, don't make fun of me, you have to catch me." Gong Qiu couldn't help laughing and scolding Gong Xiazhi.
Gong Deyi cooked ten dishes today. After finishing, he seemed a little tired. He took off his apron and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He seldom cooks, but his cooking skills are really good.
On the dining table, ten dishes with their own characteristics and full of flavor and color really whetted the appetites of the three sisters of the Gong family.
"Qiu Yi, daddy has arranged a blind date for you. I hope you can go." Gong Deyi said while helping Gong Qiu Yi pick up the vegetables.
Gong Qiuyi's expression froze, she never thought that Gong Deyi would actually arrange a marriage for her.
"Daddy, I have just grown up." She felt a little unbelievable. Is this really okay?
"Dad, it's a little early to talk about Qiu Yi." Gong Chunxiao hurriedly helped Gong Qiu Yi speak.
"It's getting late. Qiu Yi is now an adult. The earlier we talk, the better. We can get married when we reach the legal age." Gong Deyi said calmly.
"Can I not go?" Gong Qiu tried to ask.
"No." Gong Deyi shook his head firmly.
"Is this considered force?" Gong Qiu asked calmly.
"It doesn't matter, you are helping me." Gong Deyi's eyes flickered.
"Dad, do you know who the target is?" Gong Xiazhi came to the rescue and wanted to lighten the topic.
"The second young master of the Huo family, Huo Yicheng." Gong Deyi said calmly.
"That Huo Yiheng of the Huo Group?" Even Gong Chunxiao's eyes couldn't help but light up, "Qiu Yi, you can try this."
"You guys..." Gong Qiu actually doesn't like this kind of blind date. Even if the other person has a noble status, she won't like this kind of love that has too much of a marriage atmosphere.
"Second sister, if you like it, I'll give it to you." She hurriedly threw the embroidery ball to Gong Xiazhi.
"No, no, second sister has wanted to be free for a few years." Gong Xiazhi shook his head hurriedly.
"Qiu Yi, the other party named you." Gong Deyi added.
"Name names!" Gong Qiu couldn't help but be shocked. She had absolutely nothing to do with the Huo family, so how could it be her?
"I don't know the details, but I hope you can go." Gong Deyi's tone was filled with earnestness.
Gong Qiuyi fell silent. She really had the urge to leave the table immediately and return to Hu Yin's side.
However, she still endured it. After all, Gong Chunxiao and Gong Xia were here. If she did this, she would even hurt the harmony between the sisters.
Gong Chunxiao saw that something was not right in the atmosphere, and immediately came to smooth things over: "Dad, this news may be too sudden, and Qiu Yi may not be able to accept it for a while, so don't embarrass her for the time being. Qiu Yi, in fact, in this kind of blind date, you
It doesn’t matter if you go and take a look, if you don’t like it, I believe no one will force you.”
"Yes, Qiu Yi, you can go and have a look." Gong Xiazhi also agreed.
Gong Qiuyi was struggling fiercely in her mind. After hesitating for a long time, she agreed.
Even she found it incredible that she would agree to it. This was not in line with her character.
On the way home, Gong Chunxiao drove her back.
"Qiu Yi, relax, it's just a blind date. The eldest sister used to go there often, but no one took notice." Gong Chunxiao said with a chuckle.
"Then brother-in-law, I'm really honored to have been chosen by you." Gong Qiu couldn't help being amused, and the previous gloominess disappeared.
"He...he's not bad." Gong Chunxiao said vaguely.
The place where Gong Qiu Yi lives is a cheap rental house. Gong Chunxiao often cannot stand the financial constraints of Gong Qiu Yi and her daughter, and always secretly supports Gong Qiu Yi.
With Gong Qiu's conditions, she could really live in the Gong family. Even Gong Deyi would not object to this. But she asked to live with Hu Yin, because Hu Yin treated her very well, and there was no way she would
Leave her alone to enjoy the glory and wealth. However, Gong Deyi will not let Hu Yin return to the Gong family.
"Come back." After hearing the door open, Hu Yin's voice came from inside the house. She was wearing an apron and making supper.
"Well, Mom, I'm back." Gong Qiu nodded.
"He didn't make things difficult for you, right?" Hu Yin's figure looked a little stooped. Her health had never been good, which may be related to something that happened when she was young.
Gong Qiu didn't know how to answer, but she would never lie to Hu Yin, "No, he asked me to go on a blind date."
After Hu Yin heard this, she couldn't help but fell silent. Unexpectedly, she did not object: "If the other party has good conditions and good character, you can give it a try."
She had said so, and Gong Qiu had no intention to object anymore.
"Mommy hopes you find a good family as soon as possible. It's too hard for you to follow me." These words were spoken from Hu Yin's heart. She made irreversible mistakes when she was young, which led to her current situation.
She always felt that she was sorry for Gong Qiuyi and caused her to be affected. Originally, Gong Qiuyi could enjoy princess-like treatment in the Gong family.
"When I get a job in the future, I will make money to make my life better." Gong Qiu is a proud woman with strong self-esteem at heart. Perhaps she is the same as Hu Yin in that she is unwilling to rely on help even if she relies on herself.
The power of others.
"Good boy." Hu Yin hugged Gong Qiu gently.
Dingshi, this is a luxurious hotel. In the revolving restaurant on the third floor, Gong Qiuyi sat in a separate box and played with his mobile phone quietly.
She looked at the time and frowned slightly. She had arrived early, but the guy named Huo Yicheng was five minutes late and had not yet appeared.
At this time, the door opened, and a short, fat man walked straight in carrying a briefcase.
"Excuse me, is this Miss Gong?" the man asked politely.
Gong Qiu couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed when she saw the face of the man in front of her. Is this Huo Yicheng?
Of course, she is not an appearance person, but if she wants to be her partner, she must at least have a decent appearance.
The man in front of me was not only short, but also had a sinister face and a sinister look, which was not lovable at all.
