Qiao Gaoyang wanted to talk about something else, but he couldn't bring himself to abruptly change the subject.

Even with three assists, it was difficult to launch an attack.

It seems that large dinner parties like this aren't really conducive to developing feelings. He still needs to take a longer approach and gradually unfold his pursuit of her...

"Let me say first, I really appreciate you all taking the time to celebrate my promotion today. I never expected it to be so lively!" Leng Yingying said sincerely.

It's worth it even if it costs money to treat everyone!

This feeling of being remembered by everyone is wonderful and blissful.

"You're too kind..." Qiao Xinruo said.

The manager was making his rounds when he overheard them talking about promotions, so he struck up a conversation and said a few auspicious words.

"Oh, so our distinguished guests are here to celebrate their promotions! What a coincidence! We also had a table of guests here yesterday, also celebrating a promotion. It was an officer who brought his family to celebrate. You all look so young, are you all family or friends?"

As a manager, you can strike up a conversation at any table, and you're perceptive, polite, and never off-putting.

It turns out that the restaurant Su Yueya and the others chose today was the same one Mo Youyou booked last night.

“We are all friends,” Qiao Gaoyang said, without revealing too much personal information, which was his professional sensitivity as a member of the intelligence team.

However, with both sets of twins present, it was obvious to anyone with eyes that they were related; they just didn't know that the two sets of twins were from the same family.

"I see. Last night, the guests at that table had a child with them..." the manager said casually.

With a child in tow, a promotion, a military officer...

At this promotion conference, many people were promoted, but not many met the requirement of having children. Among them was an old acquaintance who happened to meet the requirement: Liu Dekai.

The four siblings exchanged glances, clearly guessing that the person the manager was referring to was probably Liu Dekai.

However, that was none of their business; they didn't care how Liu Dekai brought his family to the restaurant to celebrate his promotion.

The manager exchanged a few more polite words and then went to another table.

At this point, guests at other tables also started talking about this topic.

Many of the customers are regulars who come to this restaurant often. Some of them are familiar faces, and they even know other customers. When they sit together at a table, they can chat for a while.

Did you eat here last night?

"No, I ate at home last night, why?"

"Wow, that's such a pity. It was such a great show last night. Just watching that performance made me want to eat two extra bowls of rice. It's such a shame you didn't see it..."

"What's going on? You old rascal, are you deliberately keeping me in suspense? Tell me already, give me something to talk about."

"Haha...that's definitely something to eat with rice! Yesterday, a family came to eat with a child, but halfway through the meal, the child got into a fight with the child at another table, and started crying. The two families argued so fiercely that they almost called the police!"

"What? They called the police in the end? I should have come here to eat last night, what a pity!"

"It wasn't reported, but that argument was quite something, let me tell you..."

The guest described it so vividly that even if you weren't there, you felt as if you were actually there, as if you had really witnessed the two families arguing.

The siblings appeared calm on the surface, but they were all secretly eavesdropping.

He listened intently, especially when the story mentioned that two children had argued and even fought over a toy.

After all, they all knew that Liu Shengrui was a super hero.

Leng Yingying was also listening.

"That child, it's this one!" The man gave a thumbs up and continued, "His grandma said he's only one year old, wow! He already dares to hit people, and not only others, he almost hit his own mother when he got really ruthless!"

Su Yueya: Liu Shengrui actually dared to hit Mo Youyou?

I wonder if Mo Youyou believes it now?

"That kid's grandma is quite something too. I watched the other kid's family fight over the toy, and they didn't argue much. But his grandma was really something else. It was clearly her kid who grabbed the toy and even hit him, but she just made a scene and threw a tantrum until in the end, both sides apologized to each other!"

"Isn't the other family being wronged?"

"Of course it's a miscarriage of justice! I think that family has been very reasonable, but you can't reason with them about this kind of thing. Even a scholar can't reason with a soldier, let alone an old woman like this!"

"That's true, when an old woman throws a tantrum, very few people can handle her..."

Are they talking about the male supporting character's family? Isn't the child who hit someone the male supporting character's child?

The four siblings: They're here! Is there any new news?

Su Yueya: So, Liu Dekai is the male supporting character?

The male and female supporting characters are quite a couple; they had a son who's incredibly talented!

Four siblings: Did she know that too?

This super-talented guy is definitely something else!

Four siblings: Tell us more?

It's such a pity...

The four siblings: What's the pity? Hurry up and tell us!

Qiao Xinruo was so anxious and restless that she even wanted to grab Leng Yingying's shoulders and shake her to make her make peace quickly. She couldn't help but want to know what would happen to Liu Dekai's family.

To be honest, I didn't have time to finish reading the ending of this book either. And I don't skip chapters when I read; I read them one by one so I wouldn't miss any plot points. I remember glancing at the comments section later and seeing spoilers...

The four siblings: Here we come! The stools and sunflower seeds are ready!

[This guy is no ordinary person now that he's grown up. He directly caused the deaths of the entire family of the male and female leads, but I haven't seen exactly how he did it. So I'll try to find out more in the military. Maybe I can catch up on some juicy gossip here that I haven't heard before?]

Four siblings: ...

That's it? That's it?!

I've prepared the stools and sunflower seeds, and that's all you've said?

This is practically the same as saying nothing at all!

What they wanted to hear was exactly how Liu Shengrui killed Liu Dekai and Mo Youyou's family—that was the key point. But they only got the result, not the process. This drama was really frustrating, leaving them feeling stuck and uncomfortable.

What a pity...

Su Yueya thought to herself that Liu Shengrui had ruined their family, which she could have predicted. After all, Chao Xiong's destructive power was enormous; otherwise, she wouldn't have made an exception to tell Liu Dekai and hinted that he should make a decision sooner rather than later.

However, Su Yueya never expected that it would come to the point of killing an entire family.

After all, the Mo family isn't bad off. With Mo Cheng, the brigade commander, in charge, Liu Dekai has now been promoted to battalion commander, and with his father-in-law's help, he might be promoted even further in the future.

Their family's financial situation was already much better than that of the average family, so the minor troubles caused by Liu Shengrui could be easily resolved.
