Chapter 1015: Airport
At the airport, Jiang Jingze collected the luggage from the baggage claim.
Two big suitcases full to the brim. If it weren't for their tickets having no weight limit, these items wouldn't have been easy to bring back.
Thinking about Jiang Jingze's eagerness to almost clear out the mall before leaving made Yue Qingqing want to laugh.
"It's too much. I said we could just buy these things here."
"It's not the same." Jiang Jingze, pushing the luggage, fluctuated between a serious look and an inexplicable smile, "I can't risk being disliked by my in-laws. Bringing gifts when visiting is a courtesy."
Bringing gifts is a courtesy, but no one asked you to bring this many.
Yue Qingqing realized that although Jiang Jingze usually seemed quite smart, he appeared a bit silly in situations like this.
But thinking it over, it was rather cute.
Just now on the plane, Jiang Jingze was so nervous that his palms were sweating.
He occasionally mumbled something, and when Yue Qingqing listened closely, she found he was rehearsing what to say when he met her family.
She couldn't help but find it both funny and exasperating.
However, there aren't many things that Jiang Jingze is this earnest about, Yue Qingqing thought, observing quietly with many emotions running through her heart.
As they exited through the VIP passage, Yue Qingqing freed her hand just as she was about to help Jiang Jingze with a couple of items, but then her attention shifted to the distance.
Li Fuhong and Jiao Lei seemed to be waiting for someone, looking a bit anxious.
Beside them stood a boy around the same age as Yue Qingqing.
From afar he seemed quite tall and handsome, but upon closer inspection, one would notice his eyes darting around, reflecting nervousness and unease.
From his similar features to Li Fuhong, Yue Qingqing could easily guess his identity.
It seemed this was the child Li Fuhong had outside.
Yue Qingqing hadn't expected to run into this family at the airport.
Jiang Jingze followed her gaze, visibly displeased by what he saw.
Yue Qingqing smiled.
"Let's go. Grandma is still waiting at home, and my parents have been urging us. If I hadn't told them in advance, they would've probably come to the airport to pick us up."
Upon hearing this important matter, Jiang Jingze immediately quickened his pace, not bothering to look over there any longer.
However, Li Tongyu spotted Yue Qingqing.
He promptly walked over to Jiao Lei and whispered a few words.
Of course, Jiao Lei also looked over.
Yue Qingqing?
She had returned from Beijing?
Looking at Yue Qingqing, Jiao Lei felt a mix of emotions, and the words Qingqing had once said about destiny and the cost of things echoed inexplicably in her mind.
In retrospect, it all seemed absurd.
"Xiaolei, what are you looking at? Mr. Qian's plane has already landed, don't get distracted."
Li Fuhong's tone was a bit edgy; with the company's poor performance lately, he even humbled himself to seek help from their family.
Yet the elders turned a blind eye, leaving Li Fuhong to manage his own situation.
Feeling both stifled and defiant, Li Fuhong was truly determined to rely on his effort to emerge from the predicament.
He was originally someone who could be both resilient and yielding, possessing some skills.
During times like these, he could bow his head, seeking resources from various connections.
Today, Mr. Qian Zhengxin, an important partner Li Fuhong wanted to develop, was coming. The man was wealthy and famously known as an educator.
After having flown to personally visit and almost pleading verbally, Mr. Qian had finally agreed to take some time out for an assessment.
To show importance, Li Fuhong brought Jiao Lei and his son to the airport today.
He intended to close the gap between them.
Yet unexpectedly, both Jiao Lei and his son were suddenly absent-minded, their thoughts unknown.
Jiao Lei quickly snapped back to attention, "Nothing, I was just watching to see where Mr. Qian would come out."
Li Fuhong didn't suspect anything, "Hmm, keep an eye out and don't get distracted."
While speaking, he suddenly saw a silhouette at the exit.
His face immediately lit up with a smile, and he walked over.
