Chapter 369 is not quite what she imagined.
Qin Yi and his group arrived later, but Qiao Ying didn't have the same feeling. She knew that Qin Yi's identity was not simple, and his friends' identities were not simple either.
Take Yang Han for example. He can easily borrow luxury cars to drive, and the women around him also wear low-key luxury brands.
She didn't feel inferior at all; instead, she was thinking about how to integrate into their society and become one of them, thereby achieving a leap in social class.
Qiao Ying also took the initiative to talk to Xiao Lin, but Xiao Lin was rather distant, only giving a polite reply at most.
This made Qiao Ying feel somewhat uncomfortable, as if she was being looked down upon, and even more so as if she felt ashamed for forcibly trying to fit in only to be ostracized.
So she hugged Qin Yi even tighter, as if to tell everyone about her relationship with him.
However, neither of them is married yet, and their relationship is based on online dating, so many people are not optimistic about their future together.
Qin Yi said, "What are you still standing here for? Come on in."
Yang Han said, "What's the rush? We're waiting for Lao Qin. Don't worry, I've already booked the table."
Qin Yi was somewhat surprised, "You actually got in touch with him? How did you do it?"
Yang Han smiled mysteriously, "I have a brilliant plan."
"Playing tricks and deception."
Qiao Ying whispered from the side, "Is the 'Old Qin' he's talking about your older brother?"
"Um."
Qiao Ying suddenly became curious, wondering what his older brother looked like, and whether he was as handsome as him.
And judging from their demeanor, they seem to respect this older brother quite a bit.
After waiting for about half an hour, Qin Ce's car finally drove in. He was also driving Yin Heng's car; since he already owed the favor, he figured he might as well drive it.
Qiao Ying turned her head and saw the man get out of the car. Her eyes widened slowly.
She had previously thought Qin Yi was handsome and outstanding enough, but she never expected that when this man appeared, the contrast would become immediately apparent.
In terms of both appearance and temperament, they are far inferior.
He possessed a superior aura that Qin Yi lacked, and when he looked over, it was difficult for people to look him in the eye.
Qin Ce was taken aback when he saw so many people; he thought that only Yang Han was there.
He closed the car door and walked straight towards Qiao Xing.
Yang Han laughed and said, "Old Qin, you've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you for ages."
"There's a bit of traffic, let's go in." He stopped next to Qiao Xing and glanced at her subconsciously.
Qiao Xing didn't speak or react further. During the time he was gone, she did think carefully about what Qin Ce had said.
Qin Ce put his arm around her shoulder, but Qiao Xing didn't move away because of the crowd.
Seeing this, Qin Ce glanced at Yang Han; he had done something decent.
Seeing the state between the two, Yang Han breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that her idea had worked.
He winked at Qin Ce, as if to say that he should repay him properly.
"Let's go, let's go, or our spots will be canceled."
Yang Han pulled Xiao Lin along and walked ahead, while Qiao Xing followed behind, muttering under her breath, "Take your hand away."
Qin Ce pretended not to hear, put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer to him. He looked down and said, "What did you say? I didn't hear you."
Qiao Xing glared at him, "Don't you dare lay a hand on me."
"What tricks are you going to pull?"
"..."
Qiao Xing didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Qiao Ying, standing behind them, watched the two interact intimately and exclaimed, "Your brother and sister-in-law have such a good relationship."
Qin Yi looked up and said, "It was fine before."
I don't know now.
"What's the meaning?"
"It's nothing, let's go." Qin Yi turned back to Xia Nan and said, "Don't walk so far back, or you'll get lost."
Qiao Ying brought a friend, but left her friend standing there, so Qin Yi had to help her greet her.
Xia Nan was stunned for a moment, then quickly took two steps forward and walked to Qiao Ying's side.
Qiao Ying frowned imperceptibly, but said in agreement with Qin Yi, "Xiao Nan, I'm sorry, I was so happy to see the baby that I forgot about you."
Xia Nan smiled slightly, "It's okay, you don't need to worry about me, I can take care of myself."
"Uh-huh."
A large group of people arrived at the restaurant's private room. Yang Han brought out the menu and told them to order for themselves, indicating that it was her treat.
With so many people, he was the one who kept the atmosphere lively. Qin Ce didn't pay much attention to him, his mind was all on Qiao Xing.
Only Qin Yi responded to him, and Qiao Ying would also talk to him, which made the atmosphere in the private room much more lively.
Yang Han asked, "What do you do for a living, sister-in-law? You seem to have so much free time that you can come and watch our competition."
Qiao Ying replied, "I work as a cashier at a foreign company."
"I never would have guessed that my sister-in-law is so young and accomplished."
"No, I was just an assistant."
Yang Han laughed and said, "You're still young. This position is one that rises with age, so you have a bright future ahead of you."
Qiao Ying joked, "Is it the 'measure' in sentencing?"
"Haha, sister-in-law, you're so funny."
Qiao Xing couldn't help but glance at Qiao Ying across from him.
Xiao Lin also looked coldly at Yang Han. This person could chat with anyone, and his mouth was like a machine gun. He was chatting enthusiastically with other women right in front of her.
Although I'm not angry, I find his behavior shameful.
Qin Ce kept putting food on Qiao Xing's plate, which was already full.
Qiao Xing tried to stop him twice, but finally gave up and let him take the food, to see how much he could take for himself.
Although the bowl was already full, Qin Ce had a solution. He pressed down on the food with his chopsticks, which created more space for the food.
Qin Ce only stopped after she had filled both bowls to the brim with small, solid portions.
Why aren't you eating?
Qiao Xing twitched the corner of her mouth. "I'm already full."
"You haven't touched it, how can you be full?"
Qiao Xing gave him a resentful look, "Just looking at you makes me full."
The two spoke softly, but it was still audible. Qiao Ying couldn't help but glance at Qin Ce a few more times.
It seemed that this man was not quite what she had imagined; he wasn't as aloof as he appeared.
Instead, she seemed a bit dazed, and this contrast gave her an indescribable feeling.
Qiao Ying suddenly said, "Sister-in-law, you look more and more familiar to me. Have we met before?"
Qiao Xing paused for a moment, then smiled at her, "No, I probably just have a very common face, so you think I look familiar."
"Sister-in-law, you're too modest. If you have an average face, then there are no beautiful women in the world."
"That's an exaggeration."
"Really? I'm sure I've seen you before."
Although the last time I visited the Qiao family was ten years ago, Qiao Xing was already a teenager then, and the two of them were not much different in age. In addition, Qiao Xing was quite good-looking, so if I had seen him before, I would definitely remember him.
So Qiao Ying did find her very familiar, but couldn't remember where she had seen her before.
