Qiu Shou rolled his eyes, then asked in a low voice:
"Sister, could it be that Dad is involved in the murder of that barber with the scar on his face?"
Upon hearing this, Qiuyue immediately denied it.
"Autumn Harvest, don't talk nonsense. How could Dad be involved in a murder case? Go, go, go do what you're supposed to do. It's impossible for me to be talking nonsense. There are guests outside."
As she spoke, Qiuyue pushed and shoved Qiushou and Qiuchan out of the room and then plugged in the latch.
The autumn harvest and the autumn cicadas gaze at each other, speechless for a moment.
In the restaurant, Qiu Jingwen returned to the table without offering any explanation.
He raised his glass and drank with Liang Damin and Xiao Jianhua, while Qiu Yang also raised his glass to Wei Hong and his mother Jiang Yuping. Only Qiu Shui, who had returned to the table, drank soda and ate his food, seemingly unconcerned about what was happening in Qiu Yue's room.
Dinner ended around eight o'clock.
What should have been a lively dinner turned out to be less than satisfactory due to some minor incidents.
Liang Damin and Xiao Jianhua drank a bit too much, as did Qiu Jingwen. Qiu Yang, who usually doesn't drink much, also drank quite a lot, which was unusual for him. What puzzled Wei Hong the most was that her best friend Jiang Yuping, who usually strongly opposed men drinking, also drank about 150ml of alcohol.
After Qiu Jingwen and Jiang Yuping saw Liang Damin and Wei Hong off, Qiu Yang also said goodbye to his parents.
"Mom and Dad, you've had quite a bit to drink today. You should get some rest tonight. I'm going back to the factory area now."
Qiu Jingwen didn't say anything, just responded and left the restaurant, while Jiang Yuping looked at Qiu Yang and said:
“Son, you’ve had quite a bit to drink. Be careful on your bike. Go home and get some sleep. Don’t think about anything. What’s coming will come. We’ll face what we have to face as a family. You’re the eldest, so be strong and don’t worry us.”
Qiu Yang's eyes were filled with tears, a sense of indescribable grievance and sorrow in them.
"Mom, I understand. Yes, we have to face it together as a family. Please comfort Dad."
He spoke in a low voice, then turned and left.
Qiu Shui helped clear the table, gathering the leftover meat dishes together and throwing away the vegetable dishes.
Although it was a poor time, the conditions at the Hongqi Factory were relatively good. Jiang Yuping was a doctor, and she said that all uneaten vegetarian dishes should not be left overnight. Besides, refrigerators had not yet been invented in those days, so Qiu Shui put two plates of meat dishes in a basin and then added tap water.
Jiang Yuping said to Qiu Shui:
"Qiushui, could you do me a favor and help me clean up the dishes? I'm feeling a bit tired today."
Qiu Shui is also the director's child. Recently, she has felt that something is strange at home. The way her parents communicate is also different from before. She also heard Qiu Yue arguing with her younger sister in her room just now.
Although she didn't know what had happened, she could sense something was amiss, especially her mother, who usually hardly drank any alcohol but had drunk quite a bit today. Her brother, Qiu Yang, was also acting strangely; she had noticed tears in his eyes when he said goodbye to their parents, but she didn't point it out.
"Mom, no problem, I'll do the work tonight. Consider it a way to lose weight."
Qiu Shui readily agreed.
Yes, Qiu Shui used the word "weight loss," even though she has a standard slender and graceful figure.
Jiang Yuping looked at her daughter, her eyes glistening with tears.
"Yes, you really are my good daughter. Thank you for your hard work, Mom!"
After finishing her speech, Jiang Yuping left the restaurant and went straight back to her bedroom.
Qiu Jingwen took his vest and underwear, walked out of the bedroom, took a quick cold shower in the bathroom, then returned to the bedroom, stood on the balcony, and lit a Pegasus cigarette.
He was pondering what the reaction and consequences would be after Shao Jian and the others opened the anonymous letter that his son Qiu Yang had sent.
