Chapter 922 is truly never-ending.
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Qin Liang rebuked him. "The Qin family is my life's work. He's no longer a member of the Qin family. What right does he have to inherit the Qin family?"
Qin Yi immediately fell silent.
Qin Liang's anger seemed genuine, but Qin Yi didn't understand.
Qin Liang clearly showed in various details that he had already accepted Qiao Xing and Qin Ce.
Why do I still treat him this way?
Is it simply a matter of saving face and being too embarrassed to admit it?
Qin Ji is utterly useless, and Qin Ce looks down on the Qin family's meager assets, yet he happens to hold the most shares.
This is also why Qin Liang couldn't do anything about him.
Sometimes, from Qin Liang's perspective, Qin Ce is quite infuriating.
Since you say you have no interest in the company, why not just transfer all your shares and get rid of everything?
But Qin Ce refused. He neither agreed to give up his shares nor would he participate in anything related to the Qin family.
He wanted to have his cake and eat it too, and then he treated Qin Liang badly.
They don't respect him as their father at all, no wonder Qin Liang is angry.
Qin Yi felt like crying but had no tears left to shed.
The two of them are arguing here, and he's the one who suffers.
They soon arrived at the restaurant. Qin Liang got out of the car and straightened his clothes.
Qin Yi reluctantly got out of the car, feeling utterly exhausted. Qin Liang frowned and said, "Get your act together! If you embarrass yourself in front of your Uncle Chen, you'll see what I do to you!"
Qin Yi forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect the Qin family's reputation for you. It won't be lost."
He scoffed inwardly, "Yeah, right."
The waiter led the two to the private room.
The Chen family members have arrived, but there aren't many of them—just Mr. and Mrs. Chen, and their daughter, a total of three people.
The two families greeted each other warmly as soon as they met.
Qin Yi followed behind Qin Liang and awkwardly greeted, "Hello, Uncle Chen, hello, Aunt Chen."
"Good, good! It's been so many years since I've seen Xiao Yi, he's grown so much!"
Mr. Chen looked at Qin Yi with eyes full of satisfaction, and Mrs. Chen couldn't hide her delight.
Qin Yi just smiled.
The main problem was that he really didn't know what to say.
Chen's mother quickly tugged at her daughter, who was sitting in the middle, "Duoduo, get up and greet your Uncle Qin and Brother Xiaoyi."
Qin Yi noticed the girl named Duoduo as soon as he entered the room.
It wasn't because Qin Yi was interested in her, but mainly because she was dressed too flamboyantly, especially her extremely exaggerated dreadlocks, along with her over-the-top makeup and the bubble gum she was chewing.
This involuntarily reminded Qin Yi of the girl he met on the plane in Chongqing.
If these two knew each other, they would definitely have a lot to talk about.
Chen Duo was reluctantly pulled up by her mother, and she hummed through her nose, "Hello, Uncle Qin."
Mr. Chen said unhappily, "Louder! How can you be so rude?"
An embarrassed expression appeared on Chen's mother's face. "I'm so sorry, Xiaoyi. This child has been out playing for several days and only came back today. I don't know where he got this outfit. He absolutely refused to change it off. You've really made a fool of yourselves."
Qin Yi smiled and said, "It's nothing."
Qin Liang also said he didn't care, "It's okay, young people like this style, let them be."
Their words made Mr. and Mrs. Chen even more embarrassed.
Chen's mother whispered to Chen Duo, "Duo Duo, be good and greet people properly. Don't be impolite."
Chen Duo chewed her gum impatiently and said, "This is never going to end."
Fortunately, neither Qin Liang nor Qin Yi heard these words.
Chen Duo took out a tissue, spat out the chewing gum, and then forced a polite smile onto her face.
"Hello, Uncle Qin, hello, Brother Qin Yi." As she spoke, she bowed solemnly to the two of them.
Qin Liang nodded. "Duoduo has grown up too."
Qin Yi initially just thought the girl's clothes were strange, but rather unique.
But when she stood up straight and looked her in the eye, Qin Yi was stunned.
Why do those eyes look so familiar?
Qin Yi's eyes widened suddenly.
This Chen Duo is actually the girl he met in Chongqing!
Chen Duo seemed to have recognized Qin Yi long ago. When she saw the surprised expression on his face, she winked at him and gave him a mischievous smile.
Before Qin Yi could recover from his shock, the adults had already taken their seats.
The main purpose of this meal was to allow Qin Yi and Chen Duo to meet each other.
Before coming, Chen Duo refused to meet him no matter what the Chen couple tried to persuade her.
After much effort, they finally convinced Chen Duo, but she made a demand: she couldn't let them decide what she wore, or she wouldn't go.
The couple knew their daughter's personality. When the topic of blind dates came up, she ran off to Chongqing. They eventually had to "kidnap" her to bring her back from Chongqing.
They were afraid that Chen Duo would run away again and they wouldn't be able to find her. In any case, she had agreed to meet him this time, so what she wore shouldn't be a big problem.
Who knew Chen Duo would dress herself up like this? This left the couple at a loss as to how to bring her and Qin Yi together.
Since both of them came against their will, and their parents didn't want to bring up the blind date directly, they talked about business and the past.
The conversation was going to go on for who knows how long, but Chen Duo was getting restless. She looked up and stared at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi was sitting quietly next to Qin Liang, thinking he would finish his meal quickly and go home.
Anyway, Qin Liang said that as long as the other party said they didn't want to marry him, then the matter would be dropped.
Coincidentally, Chen's father and mother said the same things to Chen Duo in an attempt to comfort her.
That's why Chen Duo dressed up like this. She thought that since she looked like this, he probably wouldn't be interested in her.
Chen Duo waited for Qin Yi to speak, but she didn't know that Qin Yi was also waiting for her to speak first.
The two of them just stared at each other for a long time.
Chen Duo was furious.
How can this person be so clueless!
Chen's mother keenly noticed the exchange of glances between the two.
But she misunderstood.
Chen's mother smiled meaningfully and nudged Chen Duo, "Duoduo, go pour tea for your Uncle Qin and Brother Qin Yi."
Chen Duo was unwilling, but she couldn't resist her mother's urging, so she could only reluctantly stand up.
She took the wine bottle from the waiter, walked between Qin Yi and Qin Liang, and poured a glass of wine for each of them.
As she poured wine for Qin Yi, she bent over and said to him in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Hurry up, I can't take it anymore."
After finishing her sentence, Chen Duo returned to her seat as if nothing had happened.
She kept giving Qin Yi meaningful glances, urging him on.
