Ni Hong smiled coquettishly. She didn't expect Qiao Liang to directly back her up, which made what she just said seem a bit pretentious.
Ni Hong couldn't help but said to Lu Qian, "Qianqian, your boyfriend has quite a temper."
Lu Qian was a little confused about the situation, so she smiled and said to Qiao Liang, "Qiao Liang, Sister Hong is my friend. If she says there is no need to compensate, then there is no need to compensate. Don't take it to heart."
Qiao Liang said calmly, "Lu Qian, your friends are your friends. Since my parents broke someone else's bracelet, they have to pay compensation. These are two different things."
Hearing Qiao Liang's words, Lu Qian was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Qiao Liang thoughtfully. At this time, she chose to cater to Qiao Liang's wishes. Lu Qian is a smart woman, and she knows that she must give her man the favor in front of outsiders.
She had enough face, not to mention that she knew Qiao Liang well and knew that Qiao Liang would not be so serious for no reason, so Lu Qian did not go against Qiao Liang, but immediately changed her words, "Sister Hong, since my boyfriend is like this
I said it, then you can pay whatever you want."
Lu Qian said, trying to ease the tense atmosphere in front of her, and said half-jokingly, "Sister Hong, when will you be willing to wear a bracelet worth hundreds of thousands? You are not deliberately trying to bluff people, are you?"
Ni Hong immediately followed Lu Qian's words and laughed, "It's just a bluff, it's not worth that much money, and the bracelet is just cracked. You can send it back to the jewelry store for polishing and repair, and it doesn't cost too much."
Hearing this, Qiao Liang looked at Ni Hong and said, "Then if you are at ease, just give the bracelet to me, and I will send it to you to repair it. Once it is done, I will send it to you."
"No need to bother, I can just send it back to the custom shop for repair." Ni Hong waved her hand, "I will tell you directly how much it will cost. If you are worried, I will send you the invoice."
"That's okay." Qiao Liang nodded.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Qiao Liang said to Lu Qian, "Do you want to catch up with your friend? If you want to catch up with the past, then I will send my parents back first."
"I'll take my uncle and aunt back with you. There will be plenty of opportunities to reminisce about old times in the future." Lu Qian said with a smile, then turned to Ni Hong and others, "Sister Hong, I'm leaving first. Let's make an appointment to meet again at another time.
"
"Okay." Ni Hong smiled and nodded.
Qiao Liang and Lu Qian took their parents back to the hotel together. After getting in the car, the thoughtful Lu Qian asked, "Qiao Liang, do you have any prejudice against my friends?"
"It's not that I have any prejudice against them, but that others have prejudice against me. We are country bumpkins in other people's eyes..." Qiao Liang curled his lips and briefly mentioned to Lu Qian what happened at the airport in the morning.
When Lu Qian heard this, she suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Qiao Liang's attitude towards Ni Hong was also very cold. This was the reason for the co-authorship.
Lu Qian also had a headache for a while. She had a very good relationship with Ni Hong, otherwise she would not have invited him to her engagement party. However, Qiao Liang was obviously a little bit worried about this matter, which made Lu Qian keenly aware of it.
This matter may have touched a sensitive chord deep in Qiao Liang's heart. Because the family gap between the two parties is too big, Qiao Liang is particularly concerned about such words.
When Lu Qian was thinking about how to resolve the rift between the two parties, Qiao Liang also fell silent. This was the first time Qiao Liang came into contact with Lu Qian's circle of friends in the capital. The one named Ni Hong just now, although for Lu Qian's sake
He put on a gesture of goodwill and no longer asked for any compensation, but Qiao Liang could feel that the other party still had a sense of arrogance in his bones. Qiao Liang knew very well that it was because the status of the two parties was not at the same level.
, so even if the other party gives Lu Qian face, deep down she still looks down on him.
At this time, Qiao Liang felt an extremely strong desire for a higher status and greater power for the first time.
Lu Qian thought about her words and quickly said, "Qiao Liang, Ni Hong is actually quite good, but she is a bit arrogant, but her nature is not bad."
"Haha, I didn't say her nature was bad." Qiao Liang smiled lightly, "I know that the arrogance in her bones is not directed at me, but her innate sense of superiority."
Lu Qian nodded lightly and added, "This is actually a characteristic of people like them. If my father's official position hadn't been getting bigger and bigger, maybe people wouldn't even bother to play with me. But, well, people like them
That’s it, if I treat you as a friend, I will treat you sincerely.”
"Really?" Qiao Liang smiled unconvincingly. He felt that Lu Qian was relatively innocent in this aspect. Whether it was feelings or friendship, Lu Qian seemed to have too beautiful thoughts. As long as Lu Qian could be accepted by the other party,
In the final analysis, it is because Lu Qian has entered the other party's circle, so the other party gives Lu Qian enough respect and puts Lu Qian on an equal footing to interact with her, so Lu Qian can feel the so-called friendship.
Of course, Qiao Liang does not deny that his idea is biased, but with his own growth and experience, Qiao Liang is now more and more able to realize that interactions between people are divided into circles.
And power often also means status. Qiao Liang's desire for power at the moment also comes with a complicated mentality, but Qiao Liang knows very well that he will not forget his original intention. Even if he has more power, he will do his best.
Do whatever you can to do more practical things for the people.
Lu Qian saw that Qiao Liang was not in a high mood, so it was hard to say anything more now, for fear of backfiring.
After the car arrived at the hotel, Lu Qian sent Qiao Liang's parents upstairs. After chatting with Qiao Liang for a while, she left because it was already quite late.
After coming out of the hotel, Lu Qian called Ni Hong. When the call was connected, Lu Qian smiled and asked, "Sister Hong, is that bracelet of yours really worth hundreds of thousands?"
Ni Hong smiled and said, "No, I'm just kidding, it won't cost much even if it is sent back for repair. I can just pay for it myself. Do you think I will really send the invoice to your prospective fiancé? I
It’s not because he was being serious just now, so he said that on purpose.”
After hearing this, Lu Qian said, "Since it doesn't cost much, then you should just send him the invoice, otherwise he has a very stubborn temper and will probably come after you later."
Ni Hong said, "Qianqian, it's just a little money. If I really do that, wouldn't it be a slap in your face, Miss Lu?"
Lu Qian smiled and said, "No, just talk about such a trivial matter."
Ni Hong said helplessly, "Qianqian, do you really want me to go back and send the invoice?"
Lu Qian nodded, "Yeah."
Ni Hong said, "Okay, then I'll listen to you, Miss Lu."
Lu Qian smiled and said, "Then let's do this for now. You remember to come on time to my engagement party the night after tomorrow. I won't make special calls anymore. I'm afraid I'll forget it when I'm busy the day after tomorrow."
Ni Hong said, "Don't worry, I will definitely attend on time, otherwise my return to the capital this time would be in vain."
The two briefly chatted for a few words before ending the call. On the other end of the phone, Ni Hong and Qin Laoliu came to the bar to play. After finishing the phone call with Lu Qian, Ni Hong's face was obviously not good-looking, and she could tell she was angry.
.
Ni Hong was not angry with Lu Qian, but felt that Qiao Liang was too ignorant of flattery. She gave him enough face and took the initiative to step down, but he didn't buy it at all.
"Sister Hong, what's wrong? Are you unhappy after calling Sister Lu Qian?" Qin Laoliu asked with a smile.
"Nothing." Ni Hong curled her lips and said, "I think Lu Qian cares about her boyfriend very much."
"It's not nonsense. I must like her to the core. Otherwise, how could Sister Lu Qian marry such a poor boy if she has such good conditions and so many young talents in the capital?" Qin Laoliu said with a smile.
"If Lu Qian hears what you said, be careful of her dealing with you, she knows kung fu." Ni Hong said with a smile.
"I only talked about it in front of Sister Hong." Qin Laoliu said with a smile.
"That guy surnamed Qiao is indeed a bit disrespectful. If he hadn't climbed up to Lu Qian, he would be nothing. I just stepped down for him, but he didn't appreciate it and insisted on being serious." Ni Hong snorted.
"Haha, it's understandable that a grassroots Phoenix man like him has a stronger self-esteem." Qin Laoliu said with a smile.
The two of them expressed their disdain for Qiao Liang. Their sense of superiority was innate. Although Qiao Liang had joined a wealthy family like the Liao family, it did not mean that he was recognized by them. Who knew that Qiao Liang
Could it be Adou who cannot be helped? It is true that Liao Gufeng is in a high position now, but if Qiao Liang fails to live up to his expectations, Liao Gufeng will be able to help Qiao Liang to the department level, and then he will have to rely on Qiao Liang.
He has achieved success, so Qiao Liang still needs to prove himself.
A night of silence.
The next day, Qiao Liang accompanied Lu Qian to do some work on the engagement banquet. Lu Qian hadn't even decided on the clothes to wear for the engagement banquet yet, just to wait for Qiao Liang to come over and help her make reference.
Throughout the morning, Qiao Liang accompanied Lu Qian to try on clothes in a clothing store. This was a clothing store that only customized clothes for high-end customers. Lu Qian had already chosen several sets of clothes for herself and Qiao Liang, but she didn't know what the final result would be.
Which set to order, so let Qiao Liang try it on together before making the final decision.
Qiao Liang accompanied Lu Qian to try on clothes, while Qiao Liang's parents went out for a walk by themselves. Lu Qian wanted to arrange a tour guide to take the two elders to play, but the second elder declined politely, saying that it was more comfortable for the two of them to go shopping by themselves.
.
The day passed quickly. In the afternoon of the next day, Qiao Liang, Lu Qian and Lu Qian's mother came to the hotel in advance to prepare for the engagement party in the evening.
Tonight's engagement party, Liao Gufeng asked his family to do it themselves, and did not arrange staff to serve his family affairs. This is also the principle of Liao Gufeng's behavior as an official. Private affairs and official matters should be separated, and public resources should not be used to handle his own private affairs. However, Liao Gufeng He came here after get off work in the evening, and he was still busy with official duties during the day.
In the evening, Liao Gufeng finally arrived at the hotel. Lu Qian's mother, who had been busy from beginning to end, finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Liao Gufeng coming, and complained to her husband, "You are very comfortable being a hands-off shopkeeper."
