Chapter 521: Chapter 523 Lu Qing’s Parents Arrive

”Qin Tian, my dad is here for a medical checkup; he likes to smoke, and he has a problem with his throat... He’s always coughing, sometimes even coughing up blood. After we pick them up, why don’t we just go straight to the hospital? Which hospital is good for treating throats?”

On the drive to the train station, Lu Qing asked Qin Tian.

It was quite a distance from Xijiang Province, and in order to save money, Lu Qing’s parents had taken a train, a slow freight train at that.

”Let’s go to the First Hospital. It’s close to the train station, a third-grade hospital; they should be able to handle these kinds of diseases,” Qin Tian said.

Actually, Qin Tian had also thought about asking Tang Wan to treat Lu Dakuan, Lu Qing’s father, but then he wondered how to explain his relationship with Lu Qing to Tang Wan?

If that innocent girl carelessly blurted out the fact that he and Meng Yao were dating, that would be really embarrassing.

It would be fine if only Lu Qing knew, but if Lu Qing’s parents found out, it would be hard to explain.

So, after some thought, Qin Tian decided that Lu Dakuan’s illness, as described by Lu Qing, didn’t seem too serious. It would be better to just go to the hospital to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

”Dad, Mom!”

”Uncle, Auntie!”

When Lu Qing saw her parents, Lu Dakuan and Wang Shulan, exiting the station, she immediately walked up to them enthusiastically.

Lu Dakuan was carrying a denim backpack, and both of them were dressed very simply. Their attire immediately gave away their rural origins.

”Qing’er, Qin Tian, how long have you been waiting? Did you wait long?”

Seeing Lu Qing and Qin Tian approaching, both Lu Dakuan and Wang Shulan showed smiles.

Qin Tian went over and greeted the elders warmly, voluntarily taking the luggage from Lu Dakuan’s back and putting it on his own, causing Lu Qing to feel inwardly warm.

”Qin Tian, let me carry that. I’ll do it... The bag is dirty; don’t get your clothes dirty,” Lu Dakuan said, not wanting Qin Tian to carry the bag.

Qin Tian, having already put the bag on his back, smiled and said, ”It’s okay, my clothes aren’t expensive. If they get dirty, I can just wash them... Uncle, you haven’t had lunch yet, have you? Come on, let’s go have lunch first.”

With that, Qin Tian led the way with Lu Qing’s family toward the train station’s parking lot.

All along the way, Lu Dakuan and Wang Shulan looked around, constantly expressing their admiration.

”Wow, these buildings are so tall... much taller than the ones in our county.”

”Indeed, I’ve heard that people in Zhonghai City are quite wealthy. Look, this must be what they talk about on TV, the subway, right? They say it doesn’t have traffic lights and runs underground, and it’s very fast.”

”Yes, and so many cars. How can people here be so wealthy... cars everywhere...”

Hearing the elders’ words of admiration, Lu Qing walked with them, explaining things as they went.

When they reached the parking lot, Qin Tian put the backpack in the trunk and then helped Lu Dakuan and the other elders into the car.

”Is this your car? The same one you drove the last time you came, that what-do-you-call-it, a Mercedes?” Lu Dakuan asked in surprise.

Lu Qing glanced at Qin Tian and nodded with a smile, ”Yes, the same Mercedes from last time.”

By now, it was around half-past eleven in the morning, so Qin Tian decided to take Lu Dakuan and the elders out for lunch first before going to the doctor in the afternoon.

”Qing’er, ever since you brought Qin Tian back last time, our family has become quite popular in the village. Relatives and friends have all been good to us. Hehe, this time when your big uncle heard we were coming to Zhonghai, he even wanted to join us... But he was busy and couldn’t come in the end.”

In the car, Lu Dakuan and Wang Shulan seemed in high spirits, speaking with beaming smiles.

After Lu Qing brought back her ”boyfriend” Qin Tian last time, revolutionary changes occurred in her family.

From a position where they were once looked down upon, they suddenly became the ”rich people” in the mouths of relatives and friends in the village.

This made Lu Dakuan and Wang Shulan immensely happy, feeling delighted inside.

Of course, they knew that the reason for the Lu Family’s miraculous change in the village was all thanks to their ”prospective son-in-law” Qin Tian.

So, this time Lu Dakuan and Wang Shulan also took the opportunity of seeing a doctor to visit Qin Tian.

”Qin Tian, we brought you marinated pork and wild rabbit meat. When we go back later, I’ll cook it for you,” Wang Shulan said.

”Okay, Auntie, let’s go have lunch first, and you and Qing’er can cook dinner.”

With a smile, Qin Tian replied, and he changed how he addressed Lu Qing from ”Qing Jie” to ”Qing’er.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing happily glanced at Qin Tian, smiling radiantly.

It wasn’t easy for Lu Qing’s parents to come, so naturally, Qin Tian wanted to take them out to eat something upscale.

He drove to the Five-star Zhonghai Grand Hotel in the city center, got out of the car, and had Lu Qing walk in with Lu Dakuan.

”Qin Tian, why go to such an upscale place to eat...”

Seeing that Qin Tian had brought her parents to the renowned Zhonghai Grand Hotel in Zhonghai City, Lu Qing pursed her lips.

Qin Tian laughed and said, ”I originally planned to take them to eat Western food, but I thought Uncle and Auntie might not be used to it, so we might as well eat Chinese food. It’s rare for Uncle and Auntie to come, so we definitely should eat something better.”

”Oh, Qin Tian, we could have just bought vegetables and eaten at home. Why bother spending money to dine out?”

Lu Dakuan waved his hand and said, ”This place looks so grand. Eating a meal here must cost several hundred, right?”

”Dad, this is a Five-star hotel. A meal would undoubtedly cost...”

”Roughly that much, roughly that much!”

Seeing that Lu Qing was about to speak, Qin Tian quickly interrupted, grinning, ”As long as the food is good, we don’t lack the money for a meal. Let’s go.”

The four of them entered the Zhonghai City Grand Hotel. The welcoming hostess greeted them warmly, but raised her eyebrows at the sight of Lu Dakuan and his wife’s attire.

Then, after seeing Qin Tian and Lu Qing’s casual dress, the hostesses whispered among themselves and laughed quietly after the four had entered, assuming they had gone to the wrong place and were looking for the restroom.

”Sir, what can I do for you?” a middle-aged waitress approached and asked Qin Tian, ”Do you have a reservation?”

”No reservation. We want a private room, just for the four of us,” Qin Tian said.

”A private room?”

The waitress paused, scanning Qin Tian and his group with discerning eyes. After hesitating, she said, ”All right, please follow me.” Her expression, however, was somewhat reluctant.

”Wow, this hotel is so luxurious, the floor is glittering with gold.”

”Old man, keep your mouth shut. Didn’t you see that when we walked in just now, people were laughing at us for being country folks?”

Upon entering the private room, Lu Dakuan and Wang Shulan spoke softly.

In contrast, the opportunistic waitress overheard and displayed a contemptuous smile, thinking to herself that these people were indeed peasants from the countryside who had never seen the world!
