Chapter 117: Returned Doctor
The two held hands and walked out of the hospital very sweetly.
"Honey, my 22nd birthday is in a few days. Will you go to the movies with me then?" Sophie pleaded.
"What's your birthday? When is it?" As her boyfriend, Li Quan must give her a birthday present.
"It's the eleventh of this month. In the past, my parents always celebrated my birthday, but today, I want to celebrate my birthday with you." Her bright eyes looked at Li Quan with anticipation.
"Sure, as long as your parents have no objection, I'll be so happy." Li Quan heard from his seniors in school that if you want to get a girl, you should start by spending her first birthday with her.
Sophie wanted to celebrate her birthday with him, which also showed that Sophie regarded him as a real boyfriend.
As the two walked out of the hospital gate, Li Quan caught a glimpse of two luxury cars parked in front of the hospital.
One of the BMWs looked very familiar.
When he saw the license plate number clearly, Li Quan discovered that it was Sophie's BMW.
“Beep!”
The BMW honked its horn.
Sure enough, Sophie's parents waited for her to get off work at the hospital entrance.
The car door opened and Sophie's mother got out.
"Xiao Fei, your father and I are worried about your safety, so we came here to pick you up from get off work." Sophie's mother called to her daughter.
"Hello, Aunt Su!"
Li Quan quickly stepped forward with a smile and said hello.
"Yeah! OK!"
Sophie's mother was rather cold towards Li Quan. She just nodded symbolically and agreed perfunctorily.
"Mom, I'm safe with Li Quan's protection. You and Dad go back first. Li Quan will take me home a little later." Sophie finally had the chance to be with her lover, so naturally she didn't want to go home with her parents.
"Why don't you listen, kid? Get in the car!" Sophie's mother said in a heavier tone.
"Sophie, why don't you go home first and don't make your parents angry." Li Quan didn't want her to have a bad relationship with her parents, so he advised her.
"No, I won't go back. I'm an adult, not a canary in a cage they keep!" Sophie pouted and refused to go home.
At this time, the main driver's door of the BMW opened and Sophie's father got out of the car with a sullen face.
The door of the Bentley behind also opened.
A well-dressed and very handsome young man got out of the car, holding a large bouquet of red roses in his hand.
"Hello! Sophie, I haven't seen you for many years . You are getting more and more beautiful!" The young man ignored Li Quan and greeted Sophie with a sunny smile.
Li Quan instinctively felt threatened and hostile.
This young man driving a luxury car might have bad intentions.
"Are you Zhao Jie?" Sophie was quite surprised to see the young man.
"The little girl with two braids back then can still recognize me. Not bad, not bad." The handsome young man walked quickly to the front, staring at Sophie's pretty face, and reached out to scratch Sophie's nose.
Li Quan pulled Sophie behind him and stared at her coldly.
Zhao Jie smiled slightly and was not angry because of Li Quan's behavior.
He said to Sophie with a smile.
"Sophie, this bouquet of flowers is from French roses that I specially ordered from a flower shop and airlifted here. Flowers are for beautiful women, so I give them to you."
In front of Li Quan, Zhao Jie presented the flowers to Sophie in a gentlemanly courtship posture.
Sophie's parents also came over at this time, but they watched everything indifferently.
It seemed that they had arranged all this long ago.
They would rather their daughter marry Zhao Jie rather than the poor boy Li Quan who has nothing.
"Zhao Jie, you should save the flowers for the girl you like. I'm already in a relationship and have found my soulmate. His name is Li Quan, and he's my boyfriend."
Sophie did not accept Zhao Jie's flowers, but declined them with high emotional intelligence, and introduced Li Quan's identity.
She held Li Quan's hand and never let go.
This shows her attitude and determination to everyone.
If she had accepted Zhao Jie's flowers just now, Li Quan would have been very embarrassed.
"Xiao Fei, Zhao Jie came back from abroad this time and chose to be a senior executive in a listed company just to pursue you." Sophie's father looked at Li Quan meaningfully and continued. "He ordered double-petaled red roses specifically for you, but you don't accept them. Do you want him to throw them away?"
"I already have a boyfriend, so I definitely can't accept flowers from another man!" Sophie's voice was filled with suppressed anger. "Dad, do you know what red roses mean? They mean courtship."
"Also, you have already agreed to let Li Quan be my boyfriend, why did you bring Zhao Jie here to embarrass Li Quan?"
Sophie could feel that when Zhao Jie came over to give her flowers, Li Quan held her hand and tightened it noticeably.
"Survival of the fittest, there's nothing wrong with that. Your marriage with Li Quan hasn't been finalized yet, and now you have a better suitor, which is a good thing for you. You can try to get in touch with Zhao Jie, and then compare and see who can give you a happier life. Zhao Jie's annual income exceeds one million, and he has a good character. I have watched him grow up since he was a child, and I know him inside out. He is a good match for you."
Su Bingran educated his daughter in an old-fashioned manner.
"Whether the shoes fit you or not is something only you know. Dad, you need to know that it is your daughter who is looking for a partner, not you. Your daughter hopes that you will stop interfering in her marriage."
Sophie looked at Su Bingran stubbornly, tears welling up in her eyes.
"What do you know? Get in the car and follow me home. Zhao Jie, come to my house for dinner tonight. You and Sophie haven't seen each other for many years, so it's a good opportunity to chat more."
Su Bingran forcefully and domineeringly ordered Sophie to get in the car.
From beginning to end, Li Quan was treated as air by these people.
In other words, it was treated as a piece of garbage on the street corner.
Only Sophie cared about his feelings and protected his dignity.
When Li Quan heard that Su Bingran wanted to take Zhao Jie home and force Zhao Jie and Su Fei to get together, the anger that he had been suppressing finally erupted.
"Uncle Su, if one does not have strong will, one will not be wise, and if one does not keep one's word, one will not be successful. You are Sophie's father, so I respect you. But there is a prerequisite, you must act like an elder. Not like now, two-faced and changing one's words every day. You clearly promised that if I can earn 100,000 yuan within seven days, you will marry your daughter to me."
"It's only been less than a day, and you can't wait to find a man Sophie doesn't like and force her to marry you. Don't you think it's excessive? Have you considered your daughter's feelings?"
Li Quan was so angry that he no longer cared and started to attack directly.
Su Bingran was scolded by Li Quan and had no way to refute. He was embarrassed and said angrily, "This is my family affair. It is not your turn as an outsider to interfere."
Zhao Jie seemed to be prepared as well.
His eyes fell on Li Quan, and he looked Li Quan up and down with a condescending attitude.
From Li Quan's T-shirt that cost a dozen yuan, to his pants that cost more than twenty yuan, to his sneakers that cost a dozen yuan.
"Li Quan, right? I think the total value of your outfit is no more than one hundred yuan. You are at the age of seeking a mate, but you are reluctant to invest in your appearance. There are only two possibilities. The first is that you are hungry and have no money to invest. The second is that you are at the bottom of society and have no idea what appearance is."
As soon as Zhao Jie opened his mouth, he exuded the style of a successful person and an academic.
I think my analysis is reasonable and well-founded.
