Chapter 934: The Passerby in the Campus Story Rejects Puppy Love 57
Just two days after Miaomiao agreed to the old lady of the Xie family, the old lady Xie also made an appointment with the Jiang couple during the break when Miaomiao and her friends were at school. The meeting place was chosen to be a private restaurant in the city center.
The box was filled with warm light, and exquisite snacks were placed on the mahogany table.
It was just after five o'clock and everyone was already there.
Xie Yanzhou's parents also came. Xie's father was wearing a neat suit, and Xie's mother was wearing a gentle cheongsam. As soon as they entered the door, they took the initiative to greet the Jiang couple. Their attitude was sincere and humble, and they seemed to be much more enthusiastic than the last time they met.
After all, there is not much difference between Xie Yanzhou in their family and Xie Yanzhou living in other people's Jiang family.
"I invited you two here today to talk about our plan to arrange an early engagement for Xiaozhou and Miaomiao.
Yanzhou originally said he would come to your house this Saturday to talk to you two, but I feel it's too late and seems disrespectful, so I, an old man, had no choice but to bring his parents along to talk to you."
Old Mrs. Xie picked up the teacup, took a sip first, and spoke in a sincere tone.
But they also discovered that Jiang Daliu and his wife really seemed to be unaware of this, and their expressions were stunned.
"Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, please have some tea first and we'll talk slowly."
Old Mrs. Xie put down the teacup, gently stroked the rim of the cup with her fingertips, looked at the Jiang couple with gentle eyes, and her tone was full of the kindness and sincerity of an elder.
"The children are still young and it is a critical time for them to prepare for the college entrance examination. They should not be disturbed by these things.
But I think you two have seen Xiaozhou's feelings for Miaomiao over the past year.
He has long regarded 'studying with Miaomiao' as his top priority.
I may not be able to guarantee anything else, but at least, our Xie family doesn't have those shady intentions. Whether it's the child's grandfather, the child's father, or now Xiao Zhou, if they like someone, they will be loyal to that person forever. You can rest assured about this."
The old lady paused, reached out and took out a stack of materials from the brocade box she was carrying, gently pushed it in front of the Jiang couple, and her voice became softer.
"The main reason I brought up the engagement this time was because I wanted Miaomiao to do Xiaozhou a favor.
You should also know that in our business families, there are always people keeping an eye on Xiaozhou's marriage, especially since Xiaozhou is about to turn 18. Many partners have sent their daughters to school in the name of "concern", which has disturbed Xiaozhou and Miaomiao's studies.
Therefore, Xiao Zhou needs a clear candidate for a fiancée, and to fend off those who reach out to him, so that he can prepare for the college entrance examination with a down-to-earth attitude.
"Our family has absolutely no intention of forcing Miaomiao."
After saying this, Mrs. Xie added that she was afraid that the Jiang couple would misunderstand.
"This document includes a security agreement for Miaomiao and proof of several properties under Zhouzhou's name.
No matter how the children's relationship develops in the future, these are all for Miaomiao. They are a little gift from our Xie family and also a guarantee of stability for her.
We just hope that our two children can finish their exams peacefully. As for their future, they can make their own decisions when they grow up."
Jiang's father and mother looked at each other, and there was a look of "as expected" in their eyes.
In fact, they are not really blind. They have long noticed that Xie Yanzhou is very attached to Miaomiao.
He would come downstairs to wait for her every day without fail, and Miaomiao's wrong answer book was always tidied up meticulously.
Even on Saturdays and Sundays, he would bring them breakfast, and sometimes lunch at home was all prepared by Xie Yanzhou.
Compared to Xie Yanzhou's sensible personality, their Miaomiao is more like a child who has not grown up...
So, if the children were not yet adults, they might have helped to expose the matter long ago.
But now, the child is not yet 18 years old. Isn’t it too early to expose it?
"We understand what you mean,"
Mother Jiang spoke first, but her tone was a little hesitant.
"But our Miaomiao is not yet 18 years old and will take the college entrance examination soon. We are worried..."
"Don't worry about that."
How could Mrs. Xie not understand what Mother Jiang meant?
She interrupted her directly, took out a gold-stamped agreement from her bag, and pushed it in front of the Jiang couple.
"This is the protection agreement I asked someone to draw up for Miaomiao.
It mainly states that regardless of whether Miaomiao is willing to be with Xiaozhou after she turns 18, the three most profitable shopping malls in the capital under Xiaozhou's name will be directly transferred to Miaomiao free of charge.
But we do have some requirements. If Miaomiao doesn't like Xiaozhou in the future and falls in love with someone other than Xiaozhou, if she still has someone she likes, please wait at least a year before announcing it. Is that okay?"
The Jiang couple picked up the agreement, opened it, and their pupils shrank slightly.
What the old lady said was a bit too simple. After they really got the agreement, they found that the terms were far more favorable than they had imagined, especially the three shopping malls. The monthly rent alone was not a small amount.
Not to mention other expenses, just one look at it gives me the illusion that their Miaomiao has become as precious as gold and jade.
However, judging from the sincerity of the Xie family in this regard, it can be seen that they value Miaomiao very much.
The Xie family showed their full sincerity, wanting to provide Miaomiao with security and also to reassure them.
Mother Jiang remembered that Xie Yanzhou was the prince of the Xie family and was a precious person in the Xie family, but every time he came home, he would take the initiative to help with the housework.
Moreover, in the past six months, no matter it was windy or rainy, he would get up early to pick her up and take her back in the evening. He even studied with Miaomiao at their home on Saturdays and Sundays.
Jiang Daliu even remembered that he was directly promoted to a higher position because he worked with Xie Yanzhou on the Pinglan project.
Even when he occasionally mentioned work problems at the dinner table, Yanzhou could always help him, an old hand, to come up with solutions. Such an emotionally stable and thoughtful child would be a child of destiny no matter where he was born.
Based on the couple's life experience over the years, Xie Yanzhou may be the most suitable person for Miaomiao in her life, with a favorable environment and full care.
Even the disparity in status between the two people and the obstruction of the Xie family elders that they had worried about before no longer existed. What reason did they have to refuse? As long as the child was willing, it would be fine.
Thinking of this, Jiang Daliu stood up, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Xie's father.
"In that case, as for the children's affairs, we respect their ideas and believe in your promise."
The meeting between the two families ended successfully. When Miaomiao returned home after evening study, she noticed that the atmosphere at home was not right as soon as she entered the door.
Her parents had been sitting on the sofa waiting for a long time, or did they also see Xie Yanzhou holding her for those few minutes just now?
Miaomiao discovered that in the middle of winter, the windows facing the downstairs in their house were open, and the wind blew the curtains, making the quiet house look particularly desolate.
