Chapter 107: Strange Father-Son Relationship
"So that's how it is. I was wrong. I will give up my position immediately." Su Luo certainly understood his mission. Even if he was impatient, he could not target Qin Qing at this time.
Su Luo leaned forward, but she didn't intend to get up, because she knew Qin Huai would stop her. Sure enough, Qin Huai pushed her lightly, turned around and said to Qin Qing, "You came late, and you still blame others for sitting in your seat. You've already sat down, just add another seat."
Qin Qing was a little unhappy, but she didn't say much. She wrinkled her nose at Qin Huai and ran to the other side of Ji Mei to take a seat. Her behavior was very intimate. Su Luo looked at her thoughtfully, always feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure it out.
Qin Qing looked at the ladies impatiently and said to Madam Qin, "Mother, when choosing a wife for my brother, you can't just look at the appearance. Maybe she is just pretending to be well-behaved and virtuous."
As soon as she said this, all the celebrities frowned. They were all rich girls at home, so they had never heard such harsh words. Qin Qing smiled and said, "Don't be angry, sisters. What I mean is that our family is special. My brother has a son. If any sister marries into our family and doesn't get along well with Xiaoqi, then we will be very embarrassed. So we can't just look at today's performance. It's best to get in touch with Xiaoqi. If both parties can recognize him, that would be the best." After that, she turned to Mrs. Qin and said, "Getting along with children is the best way to see a person's heart. And the most important thing is that Xiaoqi must like him and not reject him."
Madam Qin thought about it, nodded slightly and said, "That's the truth. Ladies, if you don't think we are being rude, can we meet Qi'er after the banquet?"
The socialites naturally agreed, and some of them seemed very confident and it was obvious that they had prepared for it.
Qin Huai didn't quite agree. He looked at Qin Qing with doubt and said, "Xiao Qi's personality is a bit eccentric. He probably doesn't want to see so many people. Besides, his schoolwork is important, so let's forget it."
"I've already made it clear to Xiaoqi." Qin Qing insisted, "If he's unhappy at that time, let Sister Jimei coax him. Xiaoqi likes Sister Jimei the most."
Su Luo had that strange feeling again. She always felt that Qin Qing was planning something. Did she not want Qin Huai to remarry? And she even brought out Qin Qi to help.
After finishing lunch in confusion, Mrs. Qin invited everyone to the garden to appreciate the flowers. Under Mrs. Qin's instruction, Qin Huai had to wander among the socialites and cultivate relationships with them. Qin Qing disappeared in a blink of an eye, and appeared with Qin Qi a little later. Qin Qi was still polite when he met everyone, but he didn't say much, and he was expected to develop in the direction of a cool guy.
When the socialites saw the handsome little Qin Qi, they rushed up to him. It was not known whether they liked him genuinely or were just trying to get close to him, but they were full of praise. Some of them even took out small gifts from their waists and gave them to him. It was obvious that they came prepared.
Su Luo was looking for water to drink at that time. Maybe it was because she sat for too long or moved too quickly, but she kept burping, which was definitely not something a lady would do.
When she came out of the living room with a pot of tea, she unexpectedly saw a small figure hiding behind the rockery. She walked over quietly and spoke suddenly, scaring the boy.
"What are you doing!"
Qin Qi saw Su Luo clearly, patted his chest in shock, and quickly made a gesture to keep quiet, "Come in quickly, don't let anyone find out."
Su Luo also sat behind the rockery, "Don't you need to go and see which sister satisfies you?"
Qin Qi's face was depressed for a moment, he shook his head, and leaned listlessly against the rockery. Su Luo scratched his chin, "By the way, didn't I promise you last time that I would tell you why I was in jail when we meet again?"
Qin Qi suddenly became alert and listened attentively. Su Luo said that she encountered dozens of bandits when she passed by a certain place, and her followers were trembling with fear. Only she defeated the bandits with her divine light, but was unfortunately mistaken for a bandit and arrested. In short, her real experience was exaggerated dozens of times. Didn't a certain master say that art comes from life but is higher than life? She is also performing now, so it must be high.
Qin Qi glanced at her with suspicion, "You are just bragging. If you are so powerful, how could you be caught? You would have escaped long ago."
Su Luo scratched his chin awkwardly and laughed dryly, "We can't go against the government..."
Qin Qi still looked like he didn't believe it. Su Luo scratched his head and pouted, "Alas, I was bragging. There were only four or five bandits. It wasn't me who had the supernatural power, but another brother who was very skilled in martial arts."
Maybe it was her good attitude of admitting her mistakes that made Qin Qi feel her sincerity. Qin Qi pulled her aside to ask about the details and admired Yun Lang very much. Su Luo rubbed his hair and said, "This Brother Feng is also a legendary figure. I'll talk to you about him when I have a chance. Now, go back to the garden. Your grandma and the others will worry if you haven't seen them for too long."
Qin Qi's face fell again, "I don't want to go back. My aunt asked me to tell grandma that I like Aunt Ji Mei the most."
Su Luo shuddered, "Ji Mei?" What was Qin Qing thinking?
Qin Qi nodded, "But I don't want to say it."
Su Luo's thoughts were pulled back, "Why? Don't you like Ji Mei?"
Qin Qi said sullenly: "I really like Aunt Ji Mei, but I don't like Aunt Ji Mei asking me to say this."
Su Luo sighed and touched Qin Qi's head. Children's hearts are always sensitive and stubborn. No matter what Qin Qing's purpose is, her actions may destroy the image of Ji Mei in Qin Qi's mind.
"Then don't tell me today. " Su Luo suggested to Qin Qi, "When you go back later, just say you have a stomachache and need to go back to rest."
Qin Qi glanced at Su Luo, "Are you asking me to lie?"
Su Luo: "...Ha, ha, yes, this is a lie, we absolutely cannot do it!"
Although she tried her best to portray herself as a positive character, it turned out that children were not so easy to fool.
"I'm nine years old this year." Qin Qi said seriously, "I'm almost old enough to learn to lie, but I don't want to tell you now, and my dad won't like me lying."
Su Luo felt so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into. Qin Qi suddenly patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't blame yourself. You adults are all like this." He shrugged and said, "But I'm very happy that you gave me some advice. It's really wrong for me to run out suddenly and make grandma worry. I'll go back now."
Su Luo was still feeling ashamed and couldn't even raise his head in front of Qin Qi. He bowed his head and nodded, saying yes. Then he followed Qin Qi out from behind the rockery with a look of frustration.
Qin Qi stopped after walking only two steps, and a pair of feet appeared in Su Luo's field of vision.
"Dad." Qin Qi's voice sounded very nervous.
Qin Huai walked closer and touched his head. Su Luo saw that Qin Qi's little hands were tightly clasped together because of this action. Qin Huai said softly: "Go back quickly, grandma is looking for you everywhere."
Qin Qi's face was a little red, and it was obvious that he was very happy, but he was still trying hard to hold it back. He nodded vigorously, then waved at Su Luo and ran away quickly.
Qin Huai walked in front of Su Luo again and stared at her for a long time. There was a lot of confusion and contradictions between his handsome eyebrows. Su Luo looked at him painfully, "Brother, do you have something to say? I've been waiting so anxiously."
Qin Huai suddenly laughed, "Can't you take care of the atmosphere?"
Su Luo rolled his eyes at him and was about to speak when the Qin residence's butler came towards the hall with a man. Su Luo exclaimed, "Huh?" and the man following behind the butler was actually Bi Hen.
Su Luo quickly called Bi Hen's name. Bi Hen finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Su Luo, "Sure enough, he is here."
Su Luoqi asked: "How do you know I'm here?"
Bi Hen pulled Su Luo and walked out, "People saw you and Young Master Qin walking together."
Seeing Bihen's anxious expression, Su Luo felt a little nervous, "What's the matter? Did something happen to my mother?"
"No, it was Master Wan. I saw him. He went to Lincui Residence. Let's go find him and explain what happened the other day."
"Hey!" Su Luo wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, "Is that all? You're making such a fuss about it. You scared me."
"Miss, you are in the business world and the people you offend can be big or small." Bi Hen was so anxious .
"Okay, okay, why don't I go? But he probably doesn't have time to pay attention to me." Lincui Ju is a famous brothel in Nanjing City. The fact that Master Wan went there indirectly proves that he is not the head eunuch, so... he must be a royal relative. It would be better for me to go and try some connections with him.
Su Luo turned around and said to Qin Huai: "I have something urgent to do, you...what's wrong with you?"
Qin Huai's face turned pale. "Master Wan? Which Master Wan?"
Su Luo curled her lips and said, "I don't know either, but judging from his accent, he's not a local. I offended him the day before yesterday because of a small matter, and I wanted to go and apologize."
Qin Huai looked even more uneasy. "What's his name? Is it Wan Changqing?"
