It had only been about ten minutes after entering the store when Qin Yun arrived.

"Yun."

Looking at their son, Qin Guodong and Zhao Mei kept examining him to see if he had lost weight.

Meanwhile, Zhao Jiafu was also scrutinizing his nephew, feeling secretly surprised.

During last year's New Year, his nephew didn't have anything special about him, but now he seemed to have undergone some indescribable changes in temperament.

"Mom, Dad, Uncle." Qin Yun greeted with a smile.

Beside him, Zhao Dongxue also cheerfully said, "Qin Yun ge."

"Dongxue, I'll talk to the manager and you can get off work early today." Qin Yun directly addressed Zhao Dongxue.

Since Qin Yun's arrival, Zhao Jiafu had been observing Qin Yun's attitude towards Zhao Dongxue, as previously, Zhao Dongxue had immaturely insisted on a raise.

He hadn't paid much attention to this nephew before, so naturally, their relationship was average. It was possible that Qin Yun didn't like Zhao Dongxue and was only keeping her in the store out of courtesy.

But judging by the current situation, the relationship between the two seemed quite good, without any barriers.

Actually, Qin Yun held no ill feelings towards Zhao Dongxue. As for rebellious teenagers, you simply shouldn't indulge them too much, and Zhao Dongxue had become much more sensible now.

Moreover, the previous incident at the clothing store had changed Qin Yun's impression of Zhao Dongxue quite a bit.

"Mom, Dad, Uncle, let's go, Xiaotao has already booked a restaurant." Qin Yun said with a smile as he looked at everyone.

Upon hearing Qin Yun's words, Qin Guodong, who had been standing to the side, quickly chimed in: "Oh, Yun, I heard from your uncle that Xiaotao is seeing someone. We should meet her."

He had a close relationship with Qin Guoliang, so naturally, he was concerned about Qin Xiaotao's marriage.

In response, Qin Yun smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry, Xiaotao will bring his girlfriend."

...

In the private room of the restaurant, a group of people sat around the table.

In addition to Qin Yun's family, there was Uncle Zhao Jiafu, cousin Zhao Dongxue, and also Qin Xiaotao, with Hu Shanshan sitting beside him.

At the table, both Qin Guodong and Zhao Jiafu felt it was inappropriate to ask many questions, so Zhao Mei assumed the role of family elder, engaging in conversation with Hu Shanshan.

Hu Shanshan wore a bright smile, occasionally answering Zhao Mei's questions with poise, which made the others silently nod in approval.

"Xiaotao, you better treat Shanshan well."

While showing concern for Hu Shanshan, Qin Guodong and Zhao Mei sternly reminded Qin Xiaotao.

"Of course I will," Qin Xiaotao replied with a smile.

He felt delighted, as this was the first time Hu Shanshan had met his family.

After eating, Qin Yun took Qin Guodong, Zhao Mei, and Uncle Zhao Jiafu to his place.

His apartment had three rooms, which was enough, so there was no need for them to stay at a hotel.

"Yun, this time your dad, uncle, and I plan to stay for two days at most, leaving the day after tomorrow morning," Zhao Mei said with a smile. "Knowing you all are doing well puts our minds at ease."

They would have liked to stay longer, but Uncle Zhao Jiafu had other matters to attend to at home, forcing them to leave sooner. They might stay longer next time they visit individually.

Qin Yun nodded, listening to their concerns.

They had already planned their itinerary for the next day since they rarely visited Jinling and wanted to see some sights.

"This community has a nice environment," Qin Guodong commented after looking around carefully as they arrived at Qin Yun's neighborhood.

However, before Qin Yun could say anything, a person from the security booth suddenly said, "Are you Qin Yun? A girl waited for you here all night. Did you see her?"

Qin Yun was stunned upon hearing the security guard's words.

Both Qin Guodong and Zhao Mei turned to their son and quickly asked, "Yun, did a girl wait for you all night? Are you dating someone?"

As parents, they were certainly concerned about their son's serious relationship.

But at that moment, Qin Yun was also a bit puzzled since he wasn't aware of a girl waiting for him all night.

"Which night?"

Qin Yun directly asked the security guard.

The security guard was also a bit confused. A girl had previously asked him if Qin Yun had returned and then waited overnight. However, she left without meeting him.

The guard had gone back to his hometown due to a family issue and only just returned. Upon seeing Qin Yun again, he remembered the event and casually mentioned it.

He didn't expect Qin Yun to be unaware.

The guard gave the date, which happened to be the day Celestial Fortune Clothing closed down.

"Who could it be?"

Qin Yun wondered to himself.

The night Celestial Fortune Clothing closed, he was out with Xiao Lan till three or four in the morning and didn't return home.

"Could it be... Yu Leyao?"

After pondering for a few seconds, Qin Yun suddenly realized.

Among the girls he knew, few were aware of his situation at the clothing store. One was Zhou Xiaoke, and the other was Yu Leyao.

The store closed on Thursday night, and Friday Yu Leyao didn't come to class, citing illness. Considering her grandmother Professor Zhao's previous discontent with him, he quickly deduced from the clues.

Knowing this, Qin Yun felt mixed emotions.

The evening the store closed, Xiao Lan found him, worried about his feelings, which touched him deeply.

But now, learning that another girl had also shown such concern stirred something within him, denying that he felt anything would be self-deception.

"Yun, who exactly is this girl?" Zhao Mei couldn't help but keep asking.

Qin Yun shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

He was merely speculating, not completely certain.

...

"Old Qin, what's the deal with your son now?"

In the room, Zhao Mei paced back and forth, unable to contain herself.

Knowing a girl had waited the whole night for her son left her sleepless, eager to meet the girl.

"I don't know. Don't overthink it. Maybe something came up," Qin Guodong replied after a moment of thought.

He cared deeply about Qin Yun's matters, but felt his son should handle such things himself without interference.

After all, Qin Yun was eighteen and an adult now.

"What couldn't wait until daytime?" Zhao Mei clearly didn't believe him.

"Yun must know but isn't telling," she continued, pacing before declaring, "I'll go see for myself tomorrow."

Setting her mind to it, Zhao Mei skipped the planned tour the next day and directly went to the school instead.

"Mom, didn't you say you wanted to go sightseeing? Why are we at the school?" Qin Yun asked helplessly.

"Yun, I want to meet that girl," Zhao Mei candidly stated.

Qin Yun was about to respond when he suddenly noticed something in the distance.

A group of people approached, and among them were Yu Leyao and her roommates.

"Qin Yun."

Seeing him, Yu Leyao and her friends came over and greeted him.

"Yun, is she your classmate?" Zhao Mei whispered to him.

"Yes."

Qin Yun nodded, introducing his parents, "These are my mom and dad."

Hearing this, Yu Leyao was taken aback.

"Hello, Uncle and Auntie."

She quickly greeted them, suddenly becoming a bit reserved.

Zhao Mei looked at Yu Leyao, her delicate face, large eyes, and beautiful appearance.

"What's your name?" Zhao Mei asked with a smile.
