Rebirth in school
Chapter 698 Aunt, Uncle, and Maruko
As the phone rang, Jeff's voice reached Ali's ears. He was a little confused and didn't understand why Ali suddenly called him again.
Logically speaking, Ali should be waiting for the old man there. Could something have happened again, or has the old man arrived so soon?
Because he didn't know the situation and didn't know whether the person had arrived or not, Jeff was afraid that Ali would be anxious waiting for him. He began to feel nervous, so he asked in a low voice.
"Ali, what's wrong?"
"Is it because Grandpa, Qingqing, Siyuan and the others haven't come yet?"
"Or, if there's any emergency, don't come. No matter what happens, I'll be there for you."
"Don't worry, just tell me slowly if you have anything to say."
"If the old man and the others have something to do and can't come for the time being, I will pick you up."
Ali listened to Jeff's concerned greeting and the hint of nervousness in his voice. She knew that Jeff was afraid that something had happened to her and was worried about her, so she immediately chuckled and shook her head.
"Jeff, I'm fine. Qingqing, Siyuan, and the old man are already here."
"I called to tell you. To ask you to come and have dinner with us."
"Just now, when the old man came, he asked me about it and scolded me."
"You're blaming me for not taking good care of you. How could I leave you alone to eat?"
"So, in order to make me feel uneasy, please come over quickly and let's have a meal together."
"Let me introduce the old man to you so that you can get to know him."
"Here, there are only the old man, Qingqing, Siyuan, and me."
"It's just right that you come over. Our family can have a meal together and have some fun."
"It's not easy to come back once, we should get together, right?"
Jeff, who was in the hotel on the other end of the phone, was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, his head resting on the back of the sofa, holding the phone in his hand, looking very leisurely. But when he heard what Ali said, he suddenly became uneasy.
He widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, and he was also doubting in his heart, what? Just now, Ali told him that she wanted her to go to dinner with him, and it seemed that it was the old man who brought it up first, what did this mean?
The old man would accept him and let him go to dinner. Didn't he think this scene seemed very awkward? After all, Ali was his former daughter-in-law.
And now he is Ali's fiancé. With such a complicated relationship, it's good enough that the old man is not angry and doesn't want to split him up.
How is it possible that I want to invite him to dinner, meet him, and ask him proactively?
Why do these scenes and sentences seem so unrealistic and like a joke?
But these words were said by Ali, and he heard them with his own ears. Jeff and Ali have known each other for such a long time, and Jeff knows Ali's character very well.
He knew that although Ali had a crazy personality and sometimes did things inappropriately, she would never play such jokes or trick people.
Since the words have come from Ali's mouth, and she invited him to go, and the name was used in the old man's name, then it was not the old man's name that was called at all. It must be that the old man really invited him to have dinner together.
At this moment, Jeff really admired the old man whom he had never met. Just for his magnanimity, his tolerance and respectful attitude, he admired him.
If you put yourself in someone else's shoes, even an open-minded person will feel uncomfortable and unhappy.
Jeff thought the old man should do the same, but the old man was very smart and rational. He hid his unhappiness and discomfort deep in his heart.
Thinking of this, Jeff, who originally didn't want to go or get involved in these things that would cause trouble for others, suddenly became interested.
He wanted to meet this old man, this veteran-level man, to see what he looked like and get to know him.
Seeing that Jeff on the other end of the phone didn't respond or speak for a long time, Ali on the other end of the phone suddenly felt a little worried. Could it be that something had happened to her brother-in-law?
That's not right. Wasn't he just chatting with me? Thinking of this, Ali turned his head and walked away, raising his voice slightly and continued to shout.
"Jeff, Jeff, why are you silent?"
"I'm talking to you. Is the signal bad?"
"Hey, did you hear me?"
Jeff, who was thinking about something and hesitating whether to meet the old man, heard Ali's call and quickly answered.
"Hey, Ali, I'm here,"
"I was shocked by what you said just now. Are you serious?"
"The old man is actually willing to see me?"
"This shouldn't be the case. After all, my identity here is quite sensitive."
"Logically speaking, he shouldn't see me!"
"Ali, are you sure? Look and see if the old man is just saying polite words."
"Don't wait until then, it will have a bad impact if I really go there."
"Otherwise, I'd better stay in the hotel and wait for you to come back."
"Don't worry about me. I can take care of myself."
"I'm already this old, if I can't even take care of myself, wouldn't that be a joke?"
"Okay, honey, you're fine there, be happy."
"After dinner, come back and accompany me. Don't worry about me."
When Ali mentioned Jeff as "baby", she instantly felt more eyes were looking at her and her face turned slightly red.
When he called Jeff just now, he didn't lower his voice, but instead raised it a little. In addition, she treated all the people in front of her as family members, so she was not on guard against them.
He didn't move aside to avoid them while talking or making a phone call, so everyone could hear what Jeff said. The old man was very satisfied when he heard the words "I'll wait for you to come back" and the fact that Jeff was worried that he would feel awkward meeting him and didn't want to meet him, as well as the interaction between Ali and Jeff.
Judging from the boy's behavior, he should care about Ali very much. As long as he cares about Ali, treats Ali well and can make Ali happy, then he can rest assured.
Fu Qingqing and Qin Siyuan were very happy to see that Uncle Jeff and Ali had a very good relationship and the interaction between the two was heartfelt. They were happy and as their son and daughter-in-law, they were relieved.
Although everyone knew that gossip was bad, no one could control their gossiping hearts. Although no one ran to Ali to listen, they were not far away. Everyone kept their eyes on Ali and pricked up their ears to listen to what was going on over there.
Suddenly, there were so many eyes on her. Of course, Ali could feel it. It was because of this that she felt her face suddenly getting hot and a little embarrassed.
After all, the people gossiping about her were not others but her own son, daughter-in-law, and the old man whom she had just acknowledged as her father.
She felt a little uncomfortable seeing her relatives and elders eating her melons, but she knew that under the current circumstances, it would not work if Jeff did not come, so she quickly said to Jeff over there.
"Brother-in-law, I'm in the hotel now. Grandpa, Qingqing and Siyuan are all here."
"Everyone is waiting for you, come over here!"
"By the way, I have some news for you."
"I just promised the old man to recognize him as my godfather."
"From now on, I will be his goddaughter and you will be his godson-in-law."
"You, come quickly and meet your future father-in-law!"
Jeff was really surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that at this juncture, Ali had basically cut off ties with the Qin family, and the old man actually recognized her as his daughter again.
However, he did not comment on these things. He knew that there was affection between the old man and Ali. Ali lost her parents in an accident, and since then the old man has treated her like a daughter.
Therefore, it was not surprising for him to hear that she accepted him as her goddaughter. Although he was a little surprised, he could accept it.
Putting aside other things, just because the old man is Siyuan's biological grandfather, and with this relationship, they will have some intersection.
Ali has already said that Qingqing, Siyuan, and the old man are all waiting for her, so she can't just take the score. She must hurry over. She can't let them wait for her, right?
Thinking of this, Jeff nodded and agreed.
"Yeah, okay, Ali, I get it."
"Tell me the address of the hotel and I'll rush over right away."
"You can chat with the old man and the others about food and take a rest first."
"Don't just keep waiting for me at this hour. I'm sure everyone is hungry."
"Eat first. I just had a little snack. I'm not hungry from the snacks I bought on the street."
"Just to get to know the old man. Oh, no, to get to know my godfather's future father-in-law."
After seeing Jeff agreed, Ali said a few more words before hanging up the phone with him. She didn't dare to talk to Jeff more at this critical moment.
Because the eyes focused on her have not dissipated, it means that everyone is still paying attention to her. If Ali and Jeff lose control and fail to control the strength,
If you talk about some interesting things between the two of you, or private matters, or ambiguous words, it will not be nice.
After hanging up the phone, Ali clenched her fist in a place where no one could see, then turned around and walked to the old man, holding up the phone in her hand and gestured.
"Dad, I've finished my call. Jeff will be here soon."
The old man nodded, looked at Ali in front of him, and asked about everything about Jeff. Ali answered every question. No matter what the old man asked, as long as she could say it, she would answer the old man without hiding anything.
After a preliminary understanding of Ali, the old man felt more reassured about Jeff. After all, it is not an easy thing to be a venture capitalist in a foreign country and to be successful.
The most important thing is that Jeff has been with Ali through ups and downs for 10 years. It is not an easy thing to talk about all these things one by one.
It took 10 years to confirm the relationship. How many 10 years are there in a lifetime? No one is willing to spend 10 years to gamble on an unknown, but Jeff did.
It took him 10 years to gain Ali's recognition and win her heart. It was not easy for lovers to finally get married.
Apart from Qin Siyuan, the person who knows Ali best is probably Mr. Qin. He knows Ali's character well and has experienced hurt herself before.
Ordinary people will never get into his heart again. Now, Ali chooses to accept Jeff, which means that this person is not ordinary.
As long as people have a good first impression or have psychological approval, they will also be full of goodwill towards people they have never met, just like the old man now.
He hadn't met Jeff yet, but looking at Ali's performance and what his brother-in-law had just said, almost every word was from his side and Ali's side.
At first glance, she is the one who truly cares about Ali and takes her to heart. If she doesn't care about him and doesn't care about her, then she should try to consider himself.
