Chapter 2395: 2209: Realistic Parents

People rely on clothes, just like temples rely on gold. When someone wears good clothes, they really seem different. Of course, Ye Qiu used to dress very plainly and didn’t deliberately wear anything fancy. Later, it was these privileged ladies around him who bought him relatively expensive clothes.

This suit now, when Ye Qiu wears it, truly looks different.

After gathering their things, Ye Qiu drove towards the neighborhood where Ma Wenwen’s parents lived.

"You haven’t told your parents everything about me, right?"

"No."

"No need to tell your parents too much about those things."

Ye Qiu has quite a few secrets.

Of course, when it comes to how much property he has domestically and abroad, not even Ma Wenwen knows, and Ye Qiu himself can’t figure it out.

When they arrived at the place where Ma Wenwen’s parents lived.

It was actually just a government welfare housing community.

The government used to allot welfare housing, but later the policy changed and it stopped.

When driving inside, Ye Qiu found that this welfare housing community was already somewhat old.

"This house was allotted to my parents in the early nineties."

From the early nineties to now is over twenty years, and it indeed looks quite old. However, this place is in the city center of East Sea City, and surrounding property prices are eighty to ninety thousand per square meter; even though it’s only seventy or eighty square meters, it’s worth quite a lot.

Ma Wenwen pulled Ye Qiu towards one of the buildings inside.

When they reached the third floor, Ma Wenwen rang the doorbell outside.

Soon, a middle-aged woman dressed in fur, looking somewhat elegant and noble, came out and opened the door.

"Mom, I brought Ye Qiu."

The middle-aged woman saw the two, and when she saw Ye Qiu, there didn’t seem to be much of a smile on her face.

Upon entering.

Ye Qiu noticed a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa in the living room and figured it must be Ma Wenwen’s father.

After entering, Ye Qiu greeted the two elders, and then Ma Wenwen led Ye Qiu to sit down.

When they sat down, Ma Wenwen’s father looked at Ye Qiu and realized that Ye Qiu was much younger than he had imagined.

Back then, when their daughter went over there as a reporter, she caught some plague and almost lost her life.

And he knew it was this young man who used his medical skills to save her.

But, to Ma Wenwen’s parents, no matter how good this young man’s medical skills are, he’s just a doctor.

Ye Qiu observed the house; it wasn’t big, but if two people lived together, it wouldn’t be crowded.

"Ye Qiu, you seem much younger than Wenwen, don’t you?"

Ma Wenwen’s father said.

"Uncle, I am indeed a few years younger than Ma Wenwen."

Is it common for a man to be younger than a woman?

In such situations, many parents don’t approve.

Because men age faster.

Generally, it’s better if the man is a few years older than the woman.

"I hear you’re from Jinling?"

Actually, for these East Sea people, the best choice for a son-in-law is a foreigner, followed by local civil servants, and even university teachers.

They feel that these are a good match, with more stable professions.

Hearing Ye Qiu is from Jinling, although Jinling is nice, it seems quite lagging behind East Sea.

"I’m not originally from Jinling; my parents just went to work in Jinling and settled there."

Not a native of Jinling?

Hearing this, it seemed to the two elders even less satisfactory.

"My hometown is the rural area of Huizhou."

Huizhou village?

That’s far too different.

The two elders’ expressions suddenly sank, which Ma Wenwen noticed clearly.

But Ma Wenwen is very aware of Ye Qiu’s situation; Ye Qiu even has his own castle in France, yet Ye Qiu doesn’t seem eager to mention these things.

And Ma Wenwen understood her parents had a bit of a snobbish streak.

Ma Wenwen didn’t say anything.

"Are you working at a hospital now?"

"No, I’m studying at Jinling University."

Studying?

Still a student.

The two elders seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Ye Qiu, you’re still young, still a college student, there’s no rush; you can take things slowly with Wenwen," Ma Wenwen’s mother said.

No rush?

What’s there to rush?

He’s never been in a rush.

"Auntie, what do you mean by ’rush’?"

"You two getting married?"

Getting married?

They aren’t even close to that stage; how could Ye Qiu marry Ma Wenwen?

At this moment, Ma Wenwen knew for sure her parents were overthinking it.

She knew that Ye Qiu had many beauties around him, so why insist on marrying her?

With that, the two elders didn’t ask much more.

"Ye Qiu, have some tea now."

Ma Wenwen’s mother pulled Ma Wenwen into the room.

Upon entering the room, after closing the door, Ma Wenwen’s mother said, "Wenwen, this Ye Qiu is much too young for you; you two aren’t suitable together."

"Mom? Why not suitable?"

"The age is not suitable. Women age quickly, and without money for upkeep, you’d look much older than him, especially after thirty. But right now, you’re at the appropriate age to find a marriage partner, so I think you should find an equally matched family; if he’s a civil servant, that would be quite good. Your father and I can help find you a suitable match."

Help me find a marriage partner?

Ma Wenwen didn’t know whether to laugh or think otherwise.

She’s well aware that Ye Qiu’s personality is not ordinary at all; having already partnered with him, if she had other ideas, it would be courting disaster.

Moreover, her parents must see him as just an ordinary student with medical skills.

Ma Wenwen didn’t say anything.

Ma Wenwen’s mother continued, "And his family is from the countryside, not a match for our family at all."

From the countryside?

Ma Wenwen was truly a bit irate.

Ye Qiu’s wealth, she really didn’t know the full extent.

But Ye Qiu could easily buy her a villa costing over a billion in Zi Garden, from that one point alone, Ye Qiu’s wealth ranks among the top in East Sea City.

Ma Wenwen even wanted to laugh.

"Wenwen, why are you laughing? Don’t blame me for being realistic; I’m doing this for your own good. That’s how the world works. Otherwise, you’ll regret it when it’s too late."

"Mom, you and dad don’t know anything, so why say all this? Also, Ye Qiu saved my life, and I’ve decided to be with him for a lifetime."

"Wenwen, are you crazy? Just because he cured your disease, you’re going to be with him for a lifetime? Then what about other doctors who’ve treated many female patients? Are all those female patients supposed to be with their doctors for a lifetime too? I think you’re enchanted by him. Just think, he’s just an ordinary rural person; what’s so good about him?"

"Mom, I don’t want to talk about this; anyway, my marriage is my decision."

Ma Wenwen resolutely said.

"You, you really want to drive us crazy? We sent you to work at the newspaper agency, the treatment was so good, but you didn’t want that, came out to be a freelance writer, what’s the use? Now you won’t even listen to me."
