"Don't say things like that again, understand?" Shan Song warned, seemingly serious but not quite.
Tong Zhao was completely bewildered. It took her a while to understand what Shan Song meant.
A weak voice came from beneath Shan Song: "Understood."
The resentful look in his eyes amused Shan Song, who threatened without much force, "Say it again and I'll punish you."
Excuses are just excuses; he really wants to do it. Tong Zhao sees this person through. He was initially told to learn to refuse as punishment, and he did, but now it's taking longer and longer…
Tong Zhao pouted, then caught a glimpse of Shan Song's smiling eyes out of the corner of his eye. He put his hands on Shan Song's neck, signaling him to hurry up and take him home, as the car was too cramped and his back was about to break.
Occasional initiative is quite effective; Shan Song was clearly pleased with the coaxing.
The car had been parked at the villa for some time, with a thin layer of snowflakes covering the hood. Dan Song wrapped the person up and carried them out of the car, supporting their bottom with one hand.
The next day, the two set off for the Qi family. The Qi family and the Shan family were in the same direction and not far apart. They slept until they naturally woke up before setting off, and arrived at exactly ten o'clock.
Qi Changzhou stood at the door like a door god for a long time before the two of them finally arrived. He waved and greeted them from afar, "Happy New Year, sister-in-law!"
"Happy New Year, Brother Qi," Tong Zhao replied, then casually asked, "It's very cold outside, why don't you come inside and wait?"
Dan Song "kindly" offered an explanation for him: "He's probably being pressured to get married, so let's not hurt his feelings."
"You think you know everything?" Qi Changzhou said irritably.
Tong Zhao watched them tease each other with a smile, and was led inside by Shan Song.
The Qi family is large and prosperous. Unlike the Qin family, due to their background, the Qi family has a very strict family style, but it is not the rigid kind. You can see from Qi Changzhou's personality that there is a very lively soul under his serious face.
Qi Ran, the head of the Qi family, noticed Shan Song at the door and came over: "Xiao Song, Zhao Zhao?"
"Happy New Year, Auntie." Shan Song raised his hand, which was clasped with Tong Zhao's. There was no need to hide it now; both of them were wearing wedding rings.
"Happy New Year, Auntie. I'm Tong Zhao." Tong Zhao said, her eyes curiously observing the omega family head in front of her, who was very capable in both his clothes and his aura.
Qi Ran has a very heroic appearance. If you only look at her eyebrows and eyes, Qi Changzhou and his mother are practically cut from the same mold. They also have a similar aura, exuding a sense of righteousness. However, the way Qi Ran is now smiling gently at the young couple's affectionate appearance softens her aura as the head of the family, making her seem very gentle.
I wonder if they are similar in personality. Given the background that Qi Changzhou said he "almost broke Qi Yan's leg", Tong Zhao thinks there is a high probability that they are different.
Just as Tong Zhao was thinking of starting a conversation and formally thanking her, she saw the "gentle" Qi Ran walk past Qi Changzhou, who was standing next to her. As she passed by, she gave her good-for-nothing son a disdainful look, and then instantly changed her expression, smiling as she pulled Tong Zhao's hand and praised, "You look even prettier than in the photos. You'll sit next to your aunt in a little while. Don't sit with those stinky alphas."
Qi Changzhou: "..."
Dan Song, who was accidentally injured: "..."
Qi Ran pulled Tong Zhao along, preparing to personally introduce her to the rest of the Qi family. Tong Zhao then hooked Shan Song's hand in acknowledgment.
"Go ahead, I'll come find you in a bit."
Tong Zhao followed Qi Ran alone, which gave her a chance to express her gratitude.
“Auntie, we haven’t had a chance to meet before. Shan Song said that you found someone to sponsor me, and I’ve always wanted to thank you in person.”
Seeing Tong Zhao's serious and well-behaved appearance, Qi Ran said, "Silly child, why are you being so polite? When it comes to studying, anyone who has the ability should help. Besides, you are good at studying and well-behaved, much better than my sons."
Recalling those days, Qi Ran's smile deepened: "Shan Song specifically sought me out back then, not because of the Zhou family's affairs, but to sponsor your studies. At the time, I wondered if he had ulterior motives. But we didn't contact each other for several years afterward, and I thought that this relationship had ended. But after all the twists and turns, it actually led to this marriage. Fate is hard to defy."
Tong Zhao laughed embarrassedly, thinking that he and Shan Song really did have a deep connection.
Qi Ran continued, "You haven't met my second son yet, have you? Come on, let me introduce you to him first. He and Qi Yan are twins."
Tong Zhao's eyes widened; Shan Song had never mentioned this to him before.
You can't tell just by hearing the name.
On the other side, Tong Zhao was pulled away by Qi Ran. Shan Song watched his wife leave, patted the injured Qi Changzhou on the shoulder, and the two grabbed two bottles of wine and found a quiet place to chat.
"Will Zhou Xinlin get a ten-year sentence this time?" Qi Changzhou asked, turning his head.
"Manslaughter, embezzlement, bribery before trial, multiple crimes, maximum sentence of life imprisonment, at least fifteen years if good behavior."
"What about Zhou Muyuan? Shouldn't he have been convicted of intentional homicide back then? The statute of limitations hasn't expired yet, can he be convicted?"
"The case has been filed, but it's been too long and the evidence is limited, so a death sentence is not certain, and he hasn't woken up yet."
Qi Changzhou clicked his tongue: "He got off easy. Could he have been faking it?"
Dan Song chuckled, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes: "Sent to a sanatorium, and the act has to be real."
Qi Changzhou seemed oblivious to his emotional shift, clinked glasses with him, and said naturally, "That's good, it's more painful to atone for sins while alive than to die."
Mentioning them during the Lunar New Year is considered unlucky, so Shan Song took a sip of his drink and changed the subject: "When are you starting work?"
The illegal land requisition issue reported by the Qi family involves many people, and the vacant positions will naturally be filled by others. Qi Changzhou had been waiting for this opportunity.
"It would be too obvious to start now. Let's wait until after the New Year."
Shan Song nodded thoughtfully: "Then you can come and help out at my company."
?
Qi Changzhou's temple twitched, and he turned around: "Where is just right?"
"Perfect timing, Mr. Qi. Report to the company at nine o'clock tomorrow."
"Can't you act like a human being?!"
Dan Song ignored his opinion and chatted for a few more minutes about random things before raising his hand to check the time: "What is Qi Yan doing? Why hasn't he come? I need to talk to him about something."
"Is it related to your sister-in-law?" Qi Changzhou knew this man too well. He didn't even need to ask; the only reason he was looking for Qi Yan was because of his wife.
"Yeah, we can't let my wife keep getting smeared like this." Shan Song said unhappily, "A bunch of brainless idiots!"
Qi Changzhou laughed: "You're still getting angry with those people online? That's not like you."
"You don't have a wife, what do you know!"
"Tsk!" Qi Changzhou had become immune to Qi Ran's scolding over the past few days of the New Year. He got up, stretched, and looked like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water: "Yes, yes, yes, only you guys have wives."
"But don't go looking for that guy recently. The two of them are fighting fiercely. They didn't even eat a proper bite of their New Year's Eve dinner. They probably aren't in the mood for anything else. I'll ask him for you in a few days."
Dan Song raised an eyebrow: "What's going on?"
"Let's get a divorce." Qi Changzhou said helplessly, "Do you think everyone is as loving as you two? Our little one has never been well since we got married. I'm a bachelor with no experience myself, and I have to solve their emotional problems. I really owe them something."
Dan Song smiled and said, "Keep it up, big brother."
"Pah, get lost." He's not even trying to be perfunctory; it's obvious he's just waiting to go find his wife.
Shan Song showed no remorse, his goal was clear, and he started walking. He had obviously already located Tong Zhao's position. When he passed by the New Year's flowers, he even picked a crabapple blossom.
Qi Changzhou stood there, watching from afar as this guy used the flower to flatter the Buddha, making the omega laugh so brightly. He couldn't help but click his tongue twice and mutter, "Look how he coaxes his wife. If Qi Yan had these skills, his wife wouldn't have run away. He's such a drama queen."
