Zhang Wen's name

Upon receiving the photos, Xie Zhijun immediately went to Lin Qiuli's dormitory building.

Xie Zhijun took out his phone and dialed Lin Qiuli's number.

"Hey, Qiu Li, I got the photos you wanted. Come down here for a moment."

Lin Qiuli was a little surprised; she hadn't expected her aunt to be so easy to talk to.

"Okay, Xie Zhijun, I'll be right down."

Three minutes later.

Lin Qiuli arrived at the spot where Xie Zhijun was standing.

"Xie Zhijun, you're quite efficient. Show me the photos."

Xie Zhijun quickly handed over the photos.

Lin Qiuli took the photo and examined it carefully.

Lin Qiuli discovered that these photos were all of Zhang Zeyu and Xie Yanran embracing each other.

A pang of envy flashed through my mind, but I just couldn't bring myself to be jealous; their photos together showed how well-matched they were.

The man is tall and handsome, and the woman is tall and beautiful; they are a match made in heaven.

"Xie Zhijun, thank you for showing me these photos. Compared to your aunt, I feel like a clown."

Xie Zhijun couldn't stand her belittling herself like that.

"Qiu Li, everyone is a different individual, and you have your own charm. I really like girls like you."

"Zeyu likes girls who can connect with him, and my aunt is that kind of girl. So you don't need to belittle yourself."

Hearing Xie Zhijun's words, Lin Qiuli was somewhat moved.

"Xie Zhijun, what you said today has made me look at you in a new light, but it's not enough. These last two points are my final test for you. If you pass them, I'll take you home to meet my parents."

Xie Zhijun was very excited after hearing this.

"Okay, watch my performance. I'll definitely make you marry me."

Lin Qiuli smiled when she heard this, and suddenly felt that it was nice to be liked.

"Zhijun, I'm waiting for your confession."

Since that day, Xie Zhijun has been sending a bouquet of flowers every day without fail.

Xie Zhijun's actions attracted the attention of many people, including Xie Yanran.

"Zhijun, have you been delivering flowers every day lately?"

"Yes, Auntie, I've been sending her messages for almost half a month now, and I'm about to confess my feelings to her."

Xie Yanran was speechless after hearing this. Xie Yanran, that silly girl, is quite persistent.

"Zhijun, your grandfather knows about this. Have you thought about explaining it to him?"

Xie Zhijun fell silent upon hearing this, unsure how to explain it to his grandfather.

"Aunt, I will explain to him that I like Lin Qiuli and I will not give up."

Seeing this, Xie Yanran felt quite helpless.

"Zhijun, you should tell your grandfather as soon as possible. In families like ours, it's very difficult to confess your feelings if the elders don't approve."

A flicker of struggle crossed Xie Zhijun's face, but then his expression hardened.

"I'll go back and explain to Grandpa today. I don't care whether he agrees or not. I'm determined to marry Lin Qiuli."

Xie Yanran seemed to be meeting Xie Zhijun for the first time.

"Zhijun, do you know what you're saying? You're the eldest grandson of the Xie family. Do you know what will happen to you if you contradict your grandfather?"

Xie Zhijun suddenly became very excited upon hearing this.

"Aunt, I've always envied you for being able to live your own life. Do you know what my life is like? I always have to compare myself to others. I never had any say in anything during my childhood, and that kind of life makes me feel insecure. Now I've met Lin Qiuli, and I want to live for myself for once."

Xie Yanran fell silent after hearing this.

"Zhijun, you are the third-generation heir of our Xie family. The pressure your family puts on you is so that you can support this family."

"Aunt, please don't try to persuade me anymore. How would Grandpa know what kind of life I want to live? I feel like a robot. It wasn't until I met Zhang Zeyu that I realized people can actually live like this. He helped me earn money and gave me the confidence to be independent."

Xie Yanran suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for Xie Zhijun. It seemed that from childhood to adulthood, Xie Zhijun had been raised with very strict discipline. Xie Zhijun was also very hardworking, but some things cannot be achieved through effort alone.

"Go tell Grandpa. Oh, I forgot to tell you, your sister-in-law will definitely support you."

"Auntie, thank you for telling me all this. I'll come over to your house later."

evening.

Xie Zhijun returned to the courtyard house.

Xie Jianjun and the main family members were waiting for Xie Zhijun in the living room early in the morning.

"Zhijun, you have disappointed me greatly. Is this how you let us down?"

"Grandpa, I don't quite understand what you're saying."

Upon hearing this, Xie Jianjun slammed his hand on the table.

"Xie Zhijun, why did you have to choose your own marriage partner and propose in public? Do you want to make the Xie family a laughing stock?"

Xie Zhijun turned pale when he heard Xie Jianjun get angry.

"Grandpa, I like Lin Qiuli, and I want to marry her. I'm just proposing to her; what's shameful about that?"

Hearing Xie Zhijun's words, Xie Jianjun was furious.

"Xie Zhijun, I don't agree with you proposing. Besides, her family's conditions are not good enough for our Xie family. It will not help your future at all."

"Grandpa, have you considered my feelings? Look at my dad, even with my maternal grandfather's help, he's still lower in rank than Uncle Zhang. Besides, I don't want to be an official; I just want to do scientific research."

Xie Jianjun was somewhat taken aback by these words.

"Bring me a rattan cane, I'm going to beat this bastard to death."

Xie Zhijun's mother, Li Xiaohui, realized that her father-in-law was serious.

"Dad, Zhijun was just confused for a moment. I'll go and talk to him."

"Zhijun, apologize to your grandfather right now. How could you talk like that?"

"Mom, I just want to pursue my own love. What's wrong with that? Look at the mess you and Dad are making of your lives. Are you happy?"

Hearing this, Li Xiaohui fell silent. She used to fantasize about love too. She used to envy Wu Yutong, who could marry the person she loved.

"Zhijun, apologize to your grandfather first, and I'll put in a good word for you later."

Upon hearing Li Xiaohui's words, Xie Zhijun immediately spoke to his grandfather.

"Grandpa, I apologize, I should have said that. I really like Lin Qiuli."

Xie Jianjun was much calmer after hearing this.

"Zhijun, do you really like Lin Qiuli that much? What do you like about her?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Zhijun immediately became animated.

"Grandpa, you don't know that Lin Qiuli is a very forthright girl, her personality is a bit like my mother's. I feel very safe with her."

Xie Jianjun was speechless after hearing this. What the hell is this? Don't we men like gentle women?

"Alright, as long as you don't regret it. Since you don't want to inherit the Xie family, then I'll have to find someone else to inherit it."

"Grandpa, I have a dream. I want to become a scientist."

"As long as you're happy. Since you've chosen this path, you should walk it well."

Xie Zhijun was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"Thank you, Grandpa. I will definitely work hard."

Xie Jianjun was a little disappointed when he saw this, but he was also happy for Xie Zhijun.

"After we're officially in a relationship, I'll bring her home so we can meet her. I'll talk to her family about it."

"Yes, Zhijun, I'm curious too."

"Okay, Grandpa, Mom, I'll bring it back for you to see in a while."

half a month later.

Xie Zhijun confessed his love to Lin Qiuli on the playground. Seeing Xie Zhijun's sincerity, Lin Qiuli accepted his proposal. A group of people applauded.
