"Let's go." Seeing her staring at her car, Chen Qin gestured to her.

Xia Zhichu said "oh" and followed him in.

Chen Qin was obviously a regular here. The department manager came out to greet her personally and took the two of them into a high-end box.

When ordering, the manager did not leave, but waited respectfully by the side.

Chen Qin was still smiling, signaling Xia Zhichu not to be polite and to just order whatever he wanted to eat.

But Xia Zhichu couldn't order anything. The dishes here were several times more expensive than the restaurants Si Mochen had taken her to before. Any dessert was priced at an exorbitant price, which was enough to cover her monthly salary.

Xia Zhichu quickly put down the menu and said to Chen Qin, "I'm not picky about food. Auntie, you order."

Chen Qin didn't say anything and directly handed the menu to the department manager, "Let's serve it as before."

"Yes, ma'am!"

The department manager nodded respectfully and turned to leave.

The atmosphere also solidified with the manager's departure.

Xia Zhichu was restless and kept taking deep breaths to hide his emotions.

However, her every move could not escape Chen Qin's sharp eyes. After a moment of silence, Chen Qin said straight to the point, "I have no other intention in looking for you. I just want to understand your situation. Don't be nervous."

After all, Chen Qin is a wealthy wife, and her behavior is extremely dignified and generous, even the way she drinks water is elegant.

Compared with Xia Zhichu's cautiousness, he seems petty.

"Auntie, what do you want to ask?" Xia Zhichu wanted to escape, but a voice in her heart kept telling her that the ugly daughter-in-law would have to meet her parents-in-law sooner or later. She could escape on the first day but not on the fifth day. She had to hold up the scene no matter what.

Chen Qin didn't say anything, but took out a piece of information from her briefcase and pushed it in front of Xia Zhichu.

Xia Zhichu took a glance and didn't expect that it was her information.

It had obviously been carefully read, and there were many annotations on it, especially her marital status, with the word "divorced" emphasized.

Although Xia Zhichu didn't wait for Chen Qin to speak, he almost anticipated Chen Qin's purpose in looking for him.

I'm afraid he feels that he is not worthy of Si Mochen and wants her to break up with him?

Just as Xia Zhichu was nervously picking at her fingers, Chen Qin finally spoke up, "As our daughter-in-law, I need to know everything about you."

Xia Zhichu nodded and said politely, "It's okay, I understand."

After saying that, she clutched the hem of her skirt even harder.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the department manager came in and said, "Madam, the food is served to you now."

Chen Qin nodded in agreement, and then several waiters with food carts appeared from behind her, and they placed various high-end meals on the table in a well-trained manner.

Xia Zhichu saw that the dishes were all the most expensive in the restaurant, and Chen Qin ordered quite a few, more than twenty dishes in total.

She remembered the prices on the menu and calculated them silently in her mind. When she reached six digits, she was completely panicked.

After the waiter had served all the dishes, he brought a bottle of red wine.

Until this time, the department manager nodded again and said, "Madam, please enjoy your meal!"

Everyone retreated and the door was closed again.

Chen Qin looked at Xia Zhichu and gestured with her hand, "You're welcome, eat." She stopped talking about the information, which made Xia Zhichu more uneasy.

But facing Chen Qin's invitation, she couldn't help but pick up the food and eat it carefully.

It was obviously an expensive and delicious ingredient, but when Xia Zhichu ate it, he could not taste any other flavor.

Chen Qin could sense her uneasiness and kept observing Xia Zhichu with a scrutinizing look.

To be honest, she looks good, even slightly better than Zhao Sichun, but perhaps because her background is too ordinary, she seems ordinary when you look at her from such a close distance.

Chen Qin really didn't understand what Si Mochen saw in her.

The two remained silent, and no one took the initiative to speak.

The whole box was filled with a strange atmosphere. Xia Zhichu lowered his eyelashes and dared not look at Chen Qin. He could only eat his food as cautiously as a little rabbit.

This lasted for about twenty minutes before Chen Qin put down her chopsticks and said, "Miss Xia, did Xiaochen ever tell you about his family background?"

Xia Zhichu shook his head.

Chen Qin was shocked when she heard this.

Unexpectedly, in order to protect Xia Zhichu, Si Mochen actually concealed his identity and just stayed by her side like an ordinary person. No wonder when Xia Zhichu saw him appear, there was a flash of panic and surprise in her eyes.

Chen Qin originally planned to be frank with Xia Zhichu, but at this moment, she was a little hesitant.

If Si Mochen's identity was exposed now, he would definitely be furious and even resent her as his mother even more.

The last time Si Group's stock price fell, it seemed like a normal fluctuation in the stock market, but Chen Qin knew very well that Si Mochen was secretly manipulating it.

His purpose is simple. He is warning all members of the Si family not to touch his bottom line.

Chen Qin didn't dare to take the risk. Si Mochen was like a wild lion, and even the old man could hardly control him.

If he is forced into a corner at this time, the Si Group will inevitably trigger an immeasurable crisis.

"I'm full, Miss Xia, eat slowly."

Chen Qin felt that there was no need to stay any longer, and she realized that her appearance today was a mistake.

After all, she had broken the agreement.

Just as she reached the door, she turned back to Xia Zhichu and said, "I've already bought the bill, and since we're meeting today, I hope you don't tell Xiaochen."

Xia Zhichu had no idea what was going on and watched Chen Qin walk out of the box.

Just as I was about to chase after him to find out what happened, the phone in my bag rang.

Xia Zhichu's head was completely confused. He didn't even look at the caller ID and swiped to answer the call.

"Chu Chu, aren't you home?"

Xia Zhichu came to his senses when he heard Chu Tiantian's voice. He hummed, "I'm coming out to eat."

"What?"

Chu Tiantian roared like a lion, "Who are you having dinner with? Could it be Gu Bai?"

There was no way. Si Mochen was on a business trip, and the only person Chu Tiantian could think of was Gu Bai. After all, Xia Zhichu had taken the initiative to make a dinner appointment with him last time.

Xia Zhichu packed up his things and had no appetite, so he left his seat.

"What are you thinking? Si Mochen warned me to keep my distance from other men. I'm having dinner alone with Gu Bai. If he knew, he'd be furious." After saying that, she took a deep breath and said, "Come to the Haoting Restaurant to pick me up. I need your comfort."

The experience tonight was so thrilling that she still feels like a dream.

Her heart was in a mess. She didn't know how to vent, so she could only talk to Chu Tiantian.

Chu Tiantian was even more surprised when she heard that she came to the Haoting Hotel for dinner. She wanted to ask something, but Xia Zhichu didn't give her a chance and said directly, "Come here first. I'll tell you everything you want to know later."
