Chapter 345 Meeting the Parents
Ye Xiaojing stared at Jiang Qian, her lips slightly parted, but she suddenly couldn't say a word of disobedience.
Although Jiang Qian was not sitting upright at this time, nor did he put pressure on her, the aura accumulated between his eyebrows and the calm eyes that looked down on everything made Ye Xiaojing feel a momentary identity dislocation: she subconsciously wanted to obey.
However, this trance-like illusion only lasted for a moment. Ye Xiaojing closed her eyes and concentrated, loosened her right hand holding the steering wheel, and supported her forehead.
When she looked at Jiang Qian again, her cold and delicate face showed a look of sudden enlightenment:
"Oh~ I see, Ji Ming gave you leave to go home to visit your family, but you didn't think of an explanation for your elusive appearances during this period. You can no longer use work as an excuse to hide the truth. You need a reasonable explanation for your long absence from home. It can't be too rigid and stiff, but it must also fit the rebellious temptations that you should have at your age. Am I right?"
You are worthy of being my woman. You can see all this... Jiang Qian sighed and held Ye Xiaojing's hand:
"You know, there are three women in my family, and none of them are easy to deal with. Such a dilemma cannot be solved by ordinary people."
"Really?"
Ye Xiaojing raised her eyebrows slightly, her soft hand slipped from Jiang Qian's palm, her slender five fingers clasped into a fist, and her smile gradually deepened:
"In fact, I have another way, which does not need to expose your identity as a super-species player, and can also make your family understand your difficulties."
"No, don't do this, domestic violence can't solve the problem..."
Jiang Qian immediately gave in and leaned back in the back seat with some embarrassment:
"Besides, I have already confessed that I have a girlfriend recently. If you don't want to come forward, I can only bear the pressure by myself and let you be beaten and scolded... I can't just find a girl to take back to act, right? I can't do it."
Ye Xiaojing glared at him, retracted his fist, and started the car.
The bus slowly drove out of the main gate of the Public Security Bureau and turned towards the opposite block of the apartment.
"Where are you going?"
"To the nearby business district, to buy gifts." Ye Xiaojing said in a light tone.
Jiang Qian didn't react for a while.
Then Ye Xiaojing asked carefully: "Will your grandma, aunt and sister be at home? Tell me about their preferences, taboos, interests, objects and behaviors."
"Xiaojing..." Jiang Qian understood the other party's intention.
Ye Xiaojing looked ahead, and her tone finally softened: "If I want to go to your house, I can't go empty-handed, right?"
...
In the evening, Jiang Qian and Ye Xiaojing stood at the door of their house and rang the doorbell.
When I got off the elevator, I saw with my spiritual vision that my grandma, aunt and sister were all there, which was quite a scene.
Before coming, Jiang Qian had changed into a set of casual clothes that he often wore at home, intending to return to his student identity at home gatherings.
Ye Xiaojing changed her previous dressing style and wore a light-colored windbreaker and woolen sweater that matched Jiang Qian's clothes. She changed her aura-filled long boots into white sneakers, which softened her original cold temperament with slim jeans. Under light makeup, she looked cool and fresh, very charming and charming.
Both of them were holding something in their hands.
Not long after the doorbell rang, the door opened.
Sister Yu Xuan appeared at the door radiantly. Even though she was not wearing any makeup and was only wearing a simple home dress, her appearance and temperament were still not inferior to any celebrity artist who was fully dressed on the red carpet today.
"Hey, Ah Qian is back?" Yu Xuan's eyes paused on Jiang Qian's face, and then turned to Ye Xiaojing naturally, smiling casually, "This is Xiaojing, right? Come in quickly."
"Sister Yu Xuan." Ye Xiaojing nodded and greeted, her cheeks slightly moist.
She had seen Yu Xuan from a distance, and was amazed by her appearance and temperament at the time. Now that she was in such close contact, she found that Yu Xuan without makeup was even more charming than she remembered.
"This is a gift from Xiaojing for me. I heard that you like to make perfume, so..." Jiang Qian said calmly.
He had evolved to the fourth state, but still could not see the expected super-species energy structure from Yu Xuan.
Ye Xiaojing heard it and hurriedly handed over the wooden gift box in his hand. Yu Xuan took it with a decent smile and led the two into the house.
"Grandma, aunt, A Qian and the others are here."
With this greeting, Jiang Qian's grandfather and Jiang Qian's aunt came out of the house at the same time.
"Oh, you are finally here?" Aunt came out in a gorgeous manner, but her tone contained obvious complaints, "A Qian, you too, if I didn't do everything possible to call you back for a meal, Teacher Tang didn't know when he could see his grandson!"
The grandfather looked at Ye Xiaojing reservedly, and only after the other party took the initiative to offer a gift did he smile on his serious face.
Jiang Qian secretly thought it was bad: it seems that my family has a lot of opinions about me this time, but it has caused Xiaojing to bear the brunt of the thunder for the first time as a guest.
But Ye Xiaojing seemed to be completely unaware, still with a lovely smile on her face, calling people when they should, answering every question, and being decent and well-behaved.
Not only that, after learning that Ye Xiaojing was also good at cooking, the aunt actually changed her previous complaints and asked Xiaojing to come to the kitchen to learn from her.
The old lady gave the aunt a glare at the time, and Yu Xuan also said: "This girl is visiting our house for the first time, how can we ask her to cook?"
My aunt was a little embarrassed at the time.
"It's okay, let her go, my aunt can just guide her." Jiang Qian said from the side.
Ye Xiaojing nodded happily, with a sincere expression.
The old Buddha's face softened: the meaning is correct.
My aunt was also happy, and she took Ye Xiaojing to the kitchen...
Taking this opportunity, Jiang Qian explained to the old Buddha why he had not been home recently: the boss's attention was secondary, mainly because he was trying to make progress and wanted to learn more during the internship, so he followed his predecessors to participate in projects and receive training. Therefore, except for the time of class, most of the time he was learning skills in the company, and he did not waste time because of dating.
And the Ye Xiaojing he described was also a young intern of Wanzhong Group like himself. The two were of similar age, so they had a lot in common. It was during work and study that they developed appreciation for each other. After in-depth and simple exchanges, they established a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
After much persuasion, Jiang's old Buddha was coaxed through.
So Jiang Qian turned to his sister who was smiling deeply.
"Sister, can I have a word with you?"
At this time, the old lady was concentrating on the TV news, and her interest in current affairs surpassed her grandson's boring internship life.
Yu Xuan leaned against the bar counter of the restaurant with her arms around her shoulders, and said meaningfully: "Your girlfriend treats you well."
"It's okay." Jiang Qian smiled and changed the subject, approaching Yu Xuan, "Sister, I was wrong."
Yu Xuan raised her eyebrows, her expression slightly changed.
"Well, you are not allowed to do it if I say it."
"I'll give you face today."
"I accidentally broke the watch you gave me..."
Jiang Qian said while paying attention to Yu Xuan's reaction: "I remember you said that the watch was purely handmade and customized, and you didn't dare to send it for repair casually, so you had to find a solution."
Yu Xuan listened to Jiang Qian's words, but his eyes were in the kitchen... In the kitchen, Aunt Jiang Chuntao was working closely with Ye Xiaojing, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere of communication was excellent.
She was silent for a while, and said in a gloomy tone: "It's broken, so let it be."
"How can that be? The watch was given to me by my sister, how can I just throw it away!"
Seeing that Yu Xuan was in a bad mood, Jiang Qian immediately put on a sincere expression and took a step back and said:
"Sister, I really like this watch, but it's all my fault for being careless and breaking it. If you're too lazy to help me fix it, you can also tell me the contact information of the store and I'll contact it myself, okay?"
Hearing this, Yu Xuan finally raised a little interest, and a light smile flowed between her overly delicate eyebrows.
Then she stretched out her hand to Jiang Qian: "Then give it to me, I'll help you fix it."
"That's fine."
Jiang Qian was a little disappointed, but this was also within his expectations.
The last time I identified the props, I asked a colleague from the logistics department to help check: the watch is not a prop, but a spiritual object with a function. The added functions will slowly disappear over time. If there is no continuous supply, it will return to an ordinary watch in the long run.
However, due to the serious damage of the watch, the colleagues in the logistics department did not detect the residual functions of the watch at that time.
Next, it depends on what kind of feedback his sister will give him.
Jiang Qian handed the packaging bag containing the broken watch to Yu Xuan, and quietly completed the layout of his sister.
He did not install any tracking facilities on this watch, and did not do anything. That was self-righteous, and he thought it was impossible to hide it from Yu Xuan.
What he has to do now is to wait for his sister to give feedback on the watch, take it to test the energy given in it, and then consider whether to explore the source of the tracking watch.
"Your girlfriend seems to be quite capable." After taking the packaging bag, Yu Xuan did not seem surprised at the degree of damage to the watch, and his eyes were still focused on Ye Xiaojing in the kitchen.
Jiang Qian nodded calmly: "Yes, and he obeyed my orders, cared for me, and admired your brother deeply."
"Hiss~" Yu Xuan frowned slightly and grabbed the shawl next to him and covered himself with it.
"What's wrong?"
"Cold!"
...
It was still a while before dinner was ready. Seeing that Ye Xiaojing got along well with his family, Jiang Qian didn't stay with him all the time.
He took the opportunity to return to the room and took out a box full of runes from the drawer: the little devil suit.
There was another important task today: upgrading props!
The seven demons of joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, and desire finally reunited and lay neatly in the box, waiting to receive the grace of upgrading.
These guys were the best among the regular ones when they were at the regular level. It stands to reason that after being upgraded to the powerful props, they will also be among the best props among the powerful props... Jiang Qian thought logically.
So he thought about it and tried to activate the prop upgrade function. Sure enough, the super-species world responded:
[Tip: You currently have the authority to upgrade regular items to the noble level twice. You can only upgrade one item each time. Please use this authority within seven days. It will be invalid after the expiration date. ]
[Please select the item you want to upgrade! ]
Jiang Qian took out the invisibility cloak and put it aside, and checked it with his mind along with the little devil suit on the table.
The prompt continued:
[Upgrading, please wait...]
Jiang Qian waited patiently. He could clearly see that the demon clones lying side by side in the box were in a state of anxiety. They were irritable and trembling during the upgrade process, and even a little hysterical.
But this process did not last long, and the good news came soon:
[Upgrade completed! ]
[The item "Little Devil Set" has been upgraded from a regular item to a powerful item, and renamed: "Demon Set". ]
Then, the familiar information was listed:
[Name: Demon Set]
[Type: Weapon]
[Function: Substitute, House Guardian, Curse]
[Introduction: Demons polluted by seven emotions have always been hailed as the most terrifying nightmare in the trial copy. They kill the trialers and wait for the arrival of the Son of Destiny, then crawl on the ground and serve as dogs and horses. ]
[Usage 1: Sacrifice the clone and escape! The seven black porcelain dolls are inhabited by seven demon clones, which can be used repeatedly as substitutes until the substitutes die. The ability of the substitute is positively correlated with the ability of the original body, and grows with the improvement of the original body's ability. 】
【Usage 2: As a ward off evil spirits, the demon clone will protect the owner of the house from disasters. 】
【Usage 3: Use the demon clone as a medium to implement emotional curses, and the target can be any living creature. Place the demon clone within seven meters of the target, cast the curse with your mind, and the cursed living creature will always be in a single strong emotion until the curse ends or the target dies. 】
【Note 1: This is the story of seven little demons and a card holder! It should be noted that for every little demon that dies, the original body will bear the corresponding price backlash. 】
【Note 2: When using the curse function, the original body will suffer more than twice the energy consumption. 】
……
Jiang Qian carefully examined the information of the upgraded demon suit, and actually only added a "Usage 3" curse function than before.
According to Jiang Qian's literal understanding, this "curse" function is somewhat similar to the passive protection of the Little Devil Suit, which will cause close-range attackers to experience strong emotional pollution. "Curse" is an active skill, which uses twice the energy loss of itself in exchange for the target's emotional collapse.
The price is not bad, it is a ruthless means.
[The prop "Invisibility Cloak" has been upgraded from a regular prop to a powerful prop, and renamed: "Invisibility Armor". ]
The information is as follows:
[Name: Invisibility Armor]
[Category: Clothing]
[Function: Concealment, Defense]
[Description: An existence with extremely lacking sense of existence cursed this coat. Therefore, anyone covered by this coat will inevitably be "ignored". But the invisible coat cannot escape the gaze of the "heart's eye". ]
[Usage 1: Wear it on the body, or perform a masking action on the inner or outer surface. The invisible coat will select the covered object and range according to the owner's intention. ]
[Usage 2: With the defense power of the dignitaries level, it can be used simultaneously with Usage 1. ]
[Note: Brothers are like limbs, women are like clothes... Clothes say: Did I provoke you? ]
...
As expected, the only shortcoming of the invisibility cloak has been made up.
Wearing the invisibility cloak with the defense power of the dignitaries level, what is there to fear even if you walk alone in a dragon's den and a tiger's lair?
With this dignitary prop in hand, in the future when he is attacking dungeons and performing tasks, he will be like mastering a secret means of attacking and defending, so that he can kill people invisibly and break the situation in an instant without anyone noticing.
Jiang Qian thought with satisfaction and put away the upgraded new props.
Then he took out the dignitary prop that would be left at home to continue to play the role of guarding the house: the house-guarding tourmaline.
