C259 Good Impression

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when Qiao Lin followed Qin Lang back to the Qin Family residence. He should have been able to get home earlier, but Qiao Lin dragged Qin Lang along the way to buy gifts for the people of the Qin Family. It took them a few hours to go through the selection process.

When he got home, Qin's mother, his sister Qin Shi, and Yu were watching TV in the living room. Zhou Yao was not there.

The moment Qin Lang opened the door, Yu was the first to rush over and throw himself into Qiao Lin's arms.

"Dad Qiao Lin, I haven't seen you for so many days. I missed you so much."

Qiao Lin handed the gift in his hand to Qin Lang, who was standing behind him. He then bent down and picked Yu up, "I miss Yu too. Did you receive the puppet that I asked Dad to bring you?"

"Yes, I did." Yu nodded, "Dad even took me to buy a glass cover and put it on the bed. Dad said that it was a piece of art and needed to be taken care of."

"Don't listen to him. I bought it for you to play with. What's the point of putting it in a glass cover?"

At this moment, Qin Shi and her mother also arrived at the entrance.

Seeing the two of them coming over, Qiao Lin quickly put Yu down and greeted them, "Auntie, Sister, hello."

"Hello, hello." Seeing that he was polite, Qin's mother also smiled, " Our Lang has been talking about you in front of us all these days. Those who don't know would think that he was thinking about his girlfriend, and we've been hearing him talk about it, so we really want to see you. He told us that I hadn't been home for the past six months, and that Shu had gone to Anton to be an intern. Fortunately, you were there to help him take care of Yu."

When Qin's mother mentioned him, Qiao Lin thought that she was talking about his girlfriend, which shocked him. Afraid that Qin's mother would see through him, he quickly explained, "Auntie, this is what I should do. Qin Lang saw that I had just entered the company and the company's dormitories were full. I had no place to stay, so he took me in. He did not even charge me rent, so it was only right for me to help him."

"You're his friend, not a tenant hired by him. He definitely can't accept your rent. You helped him so much five years ago when he was in the cinema city. It's only right for him to help you when you're in trouble. You've just come out of work and are an artist. It's definitely not convenient for you to rent a house outside. Qin Lang's house is close to your company. If you have nowhere to go, you can continue to live with him. Don't be polite with him." The more Qin's mother spoke, the happier she became. She grabbed Qiao Lin's arm and pulled him into the living room, "Come in and sit down, don't stand at the door."

Qin's mother had a good impression of Qiao Lin, not only because of what she had heard from Qin Lang and Qin Shu about Qiao Lin, but also because of Yu's actions just now.

A child of Yu's age would say that he was not sensible enough, but he would not lie. Anyone who was good to him would be willing to get close to him.

As soon as Qiao Lin entered the room, Yu rushed over and hugged him, saying that he missed him. It could be seen from his actions whether Qiao Lin treated Yu well or not.

A person who was patient and caring to a child who was not related to him by blood would not have a bad character.

As soon as they entered the house, Qin Lang handed back the gift that Qiao Lin had specially bought for him.

"Auntie, this is a gift I bought for you and Qin Shu and Yu. I don't know what you guys like, but these things were chosen by Qin Lang. I hope you like them." Because Qin Shu was not around, Qiao Lin only gave them gifts for Qin's mother and Qin Shi and Yu.

Qin's mother was given a cashmere scarf, a maintenance item for her sister, and Yu's was naturally a toy.

After receiving the gift, Yu thanked her and went to play with the toy happily.

Qin's mother and her sister, Qin Shi, were grinning from ear to ear as if they were very satisfied with the gift.

On the other hand, Qin Lang, who was at the side, was a little unhappy. "Can't you just say that you chose the gifts yourself?"

Qin Lang helped Qiao Lin choose the gift in order to please his mother, but he did not expect him to say it out loud.

"You brat, Qiao Lin is being frank and honest. He doesn't have any tricks up his sleeves. This kind of child is so cute." Qin's mother glared at Qin Lang.

Qin Lang looked at his mother in surprise. He did not expect his mother to speak up for Qiao Lin.

However, this was also good as his mother had a good impression of Qiao Lin. Wasn't this their goal?

After they chatted for a while, Qin's mother suddenly stood up. "It's awkward for an old woman like me to sit here. Your Aunt Liu has gone home for the New Year, so we haven't had dinner tonight. I'll go to the kitchen and take a look."

"Auntie, I'll go and help you too." Qiao Lin knew how good his cooking was, but he could still help out.

"You're a guest, there's no reason for you to help. Tomorrow's New Year's Eve dinner will be prepared by all of us. Let's just have a casual dinner tonight. I can do it alone." Qin's mother pressed down on Qiao Lin's shoulder to prevent him from getting up, then turned around and went to the kitchen.

After Qin's mother left, Qin Shi heaved a sigh of relief, "I wanted to talk to you just now, but Mom was here, so I didn't dare to speak. Qiao Lin, I didn't say much just now. Don't think that I don't like you. I know about you and Qin Lang. I'm on your side. You must love each other. And thank you for taking care of our Yu."

"Sister, don't thank me. I should be the one thanking you for your support of me and Qin Lang." Ever since they entered the room, Qin Shi had been smiling gently at Qiao Lin, making him feel at ease and not as nervous as before.

He also did not expect Qin Shi to be such a cheerful person after she recovered from her illness. It was easy to imagine how much of a shock she must have suffered to be depressed.

"Alright, let's not thank each other. We will be a family from now on. There is no need to thank each other." After saying that, Qin Shi stood up and whispered, "Qin Lang, stay with Qiao Lin. I'll go to the kitchen to help Mom cook and find out her intentions."

"Sister, thank you for your hard work." Qin Lang's face was filled with gratitude. He knew very well that his sister did not know how to cook at all, yet she had thrown herself into the kitchen for him and Qiao Lin.

"What's the trouble? Someone finally wants my brother. It's worth it for me to work hard."

Qin Lang smiled helplessly. It turned out that in his sister's eyes, he was someone who no one wanted.

As soon as his sister entered the kitchen, Qin Lang grabbed Qiao Lin's arm and said unhappily, "New Year! My mother, my sister, my brother, and Yu, you have even prepared a present for my future brother-in-law, but I, whom you are going to marry, don't have a present for you. It's not fair."

Qiao Lin rolled his eyes at him and got up. He took off his coat pocket that was hanging on a hanger by the hall when he entered and threw something to Qin Lang, "Do you think I might have missed your share?"
