Giant of the times

Bill Gates joined Microsoft, and Li Zetian no longer needed to stay at Harvard University.

December 25th was Christmas. In the morning of that day, Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu took a plane to New York to meet their parents.

On the way here, Li Zetian simulated the scene in his mind countless times when he met Yu Jingqiu's parents. There were three aunts and eight aunts, and a lot of people surrounding him, like three courts. However, when I actually met Yu Jingqiu's parents at home, it was completely different from what I imagined.

Yu Jingqiu's father was the only one in the villa. He was wearing a scarf and was carefully preparing for the Christmas dinner.

"Dad, I'm back!"

"Hello, uncle!!!"

After arriving at the villa, Yu Jingqiu stepped forward and gave her father a hug. Li Zetian followed behind, bowed to say hello to him, and looked at him at the same time. Yu Jingqiu's father is about fifty years old, of medium build, wearing a pair of glasses, and looks very easy-going.

"Well, I'm back!"

Yu Jingshan nodded to his daughter, and his eyes immediately shifted to Li Zetian.

"Are you Li Zetian?"

"Yes, uncle!"

Yu Jingshan nodded without saying anything and asked Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu to put away their luggage and go to the restaurant to wait. He had already prepared the Christmas dinner.

Li Zetian helped Yu Jingqiu move her luggage to the second floor and put it in her room.

Of course, Li Zetian was curious about what Yu Jingqiu's boudoir looked like, so he looked around curiously as soon as he entered the room. Different from the decoration of her school dormitory, there are many dolls and toys in the room, as well as the pink walls that girls like very much, which are sweet and fresh. There are also delicately carved European-style white bed frames, Curtains and wardrobes decorate this place like a beautiful princess room!

Yu Jingqiu's intellectual, charming and mature appearance actually hides the heart of a girl.

"Stop looking around all the time, what's there to see?" Yu Jingqiu felt a little embarrassed, so she said to Li Zetian.

Li Zetian smiled and said: "How could I not be curious about my girlfriend's boudoir? And I might sleep here again in the future! What do you think?"

Yu Jingqiu gave Li Zetian a shy look, but said nothing, tacitly allowing him to sleep here.

"Jingqiu, do you have very few relatives at home? Why is 'meeting the parents' different from what I expected! I thought there would be many relatives coming over to ask this and that!" Li Zetian asked doubtfully.

Yu Jingqiu frowned and said, "I'm also wondering. In the past, when my family celebrated Christmas, all my uncles and aunts would come!"

"oh……"

The two put away their things and then came to the restaurant. At this time, a sumptuous dinner was already laid out on the dining table, including roast turkey, roast ham, salmon, pudding, plums, mince pies, fruit cocktails, milky mashed potatoes...the plates were delicious!

"Everyone, sit down!" Yu Jingshan said.

Yu Jingqiu and Li Zetian nodded and sat on both sides of Yu Jingshan.

"Dad, why are you spending Christmas alone today, where are your uncle and aunt?" Yu Jingqiu asked the doubts in her heart.

Yu Jingshan was silent for a moment, sighed slightly, and said in a low voice: "When you are poor in the downtown area, no one cares about you, but when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives! Jingqiu, actually I never told you that your father is bankrupt now. This villa It will also be auctioned by the bank soon!"

When Yu Jingqiu heard this, she was shocked and asked worriedly: "Dad, what on earth is going on? Why is our family bankrupt even though everything is going well?"

Yu Jingshan sighed again, "The oil crisis that occurred in 1973 had a huge impact on the world oil market. The violent fluctuations in oil prices directly led to the creation of oil futures."

"Dad! Are you speculating in oil futures?"

Yu Jingshan nodded: "I thought that after the oil crisis, oil prices would fall crazily, but I didn't expect that they would continue to increase. As a result, we lost millions of dollars, and the company's capital chain was also broken. In order to fill the capital gap as soon as possible, I applied for loans from many banks, but all failed. Brad Terry, you should have met him at the reception. He is the son of the president of First International Bank. He is a talented person. I plan to introduce him to you as Boyfriend, maybe First International Bank will give me a loan in this way. But I didn’t expect that you already had a boyfriend in college. I was very angry at the time and locked you in my house for more than two months. Just watching When you are unhappy at home day by day, I suddenly feel that I am too incompetent as a father. I am sorry for you and your mother!!! I should not use my daughter's happiness in exchange for a bank loan. I think One night, even if the company goes bankrupt, I can't exchange my daughter's happiness! So, I will let you go where you like to go! "

At this point, Yu Jingshan paused, looked at Li Zetian, and warned in a serious tone: "If you pursue my daughter for money, then I can tell you that we have become paupers now, please leave my daughter; if You really like her, please take good care of her and never bully her! Otherwise, I won’t let you go easily!!!”

"Uncle, I promise you, I really like Jingqiu, I will love her well and never let her get hurt in the slightest!!!" Li Zetian solemnly promised.

"Dad!!!" Yu Jingqiu immediately leaned on Yu Jingshan's shoulder and cried loudly.

Yu Jingshan gently stroked Yu Jingqiu's hair and comforted: "Silly daughter, stop crying, this is what dad should do!"

Li Zetian looked on, his eyes almost popping out.

Yu Jingqiu lost her mother since she was a child and has a deep love for her father and daughter. In order to take care of his daughter's emotions, Yu Jingshan has not found another mother for her. For more than ten years, she is still single.

"Okay, okay, don't cry. Today is Christmas. Let's celebrate Christmas happily! Although this year's Christmas is not as lively as in previous years, we have a new member in our family!" Yu Jingshan continued to console him. , while picking up the napkin on the table to wipe her tears.

"Well, I won't cry!" Yu Jingqiu choked.

"Young man, welcome to your arrival! Come, the three of us drink together and celebrate Merry Christmas!!!" Yu Jingshan picked up the wine glass and said to Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu.

"Merry Chrismas!!!"

Everyone toasted in celebration.

Under the soft light, the red wine in the glass swayed, looking particularly bright.

Yu Jingqiu took a sip of wine, then looked at her father Yu Jingshan, and then at her boyfriend Li Zetian. She felt that this was the happiest time for her...
