Chapter 96 Look, Mom is praising you!
"I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me."
Shen Yichen said something indifferently, then turned around and went to the main table to choose a seat.
"..."
Helpless, Qi Yishan couldn't forcibly pull him away, so she could only walk back to Qin Shuzhi's side and explain, "I swear, he really said he couldn't come. That's why my mom and I invited you. I don't know why he..."
"It's alright." Qin Shuzhi smiled at her. "Whether other people come or not is their business. It has nothing to do with me and my husband."
"Alright, you go and greet the guests. You don't need to take care of us."
"...Okay then, call me anytime if anything happens."
"good."
After Qi Yishan left, Qin Shuzhi turned back to Shi Yuanxing and whispered, "Are you alright?"
"Of course it's okay."
Shi Yuanxing held her hand under the table, gently playing with her soft fingers, and glanced at the person facing them. "Didn't you say that other people's business is none of our concern?"
If someone insists on coming here to eat dog food, why would he have a problem with it?
Shi Yuanxing had no objection, but Qin's mother was very unhappy when she returned from the bathroom.
Qin Shuzhi pulled her to sit down on her other side, and Qin's mother looked up and met Shen Yichen's face.
"What bad luck, I still have to eat with him."
Qin Shuzhi thought about it seriously for a moment, "Then how about we switch tables?"
Upon hearing this, Qin's mother immediately objected, "Why should we? Who does he think he is? Does he deserve to be moved by us?"
When Qin's mother's gaze fell on Shi Yuanxing, the anger on her face was instantly replaced by smugness. "Besides, my son-in-law is here. It's actually quite nice for him to sit here. This blind man should take a good look. He and my son-in-law, humph, there's no comparison between them."
"..."
Seeing her mother's mood change from gloomy to cheerful in an instant, Qin Shuzhi found it somewhat amusing and couldn't help but turn to look at her husband on the other side.
"Look, Mom is praising you."
Shi Yuanxing glanced at the person who had been stealing glances at him more than once, a half-smile on his face, and raised an eyebrow, teasing, "All because of that scumbag?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Shuzhi almost burst out laughing.
Upon hearing this, Qin's mother quickly leaned closer and said earnestly, "No, even without him as a foil, you still get a perfect score."
"Thank you, Mom."
Shi Yuanxing turned his head and said to Qin's mother, "From the first time I met you, Mom, I knew that you were not only beautiful and kind-hearted, but also had keen insight."
Listening to the two of them praising each other like business partners, Qin Shuzhi, sitting in the middle, was speechless.
Suppressing a laugh, she coughed lightly, "Gentlemen, let me remind you, we're here to attend a banquet."
Shi Yuanxing and Qin's mother replied in unison, "Okay."
After a while, Shi Yuanxing turned around again and asked, "Mom, I just heard you say that the latest skin test data was good?"
Upon hearing this, Qin's mother immediately perked up and said happily, "Yes, you know what? G-FS's skincare program is really amazing. It's not just about external care, but also about internal conditioning. I've even had improved sleep quality recently..."
The two started chatting again, and Qin Shuzhi, caught in the middle, even felt a little superfluous.
Shen Yichen, who had been sitting quietly at the main table, looked at the three people over there.
Qin's mother spoke warmly to Shi Yuanxing with a smile on her face, showing none of the coldness and disgust she had felt when she first saw him.
On the other side, Shi Yuanxing casually rested one arm on the back of Qin Shuzhi's chair, his body slightly turned to the side, listening attentively to Qin's mother. Occasionally, he would take the teapot with his other hand to add tea for Qin Shuzhi and her mother, or hand Qin Shuzhi a small snack or two.
Qin Shuzhi, sitting in the middle, looked relaxed and obediently ate whatever the man gave her.
The heartwarming scene of the three of them together stung Shen Yichen's eyes.
At this moment, Qi Yishan walked over.
"Zhibao, come with me to change my clothes?"
"Change your clothes?" Qin Shuzhi looked at Qi Yishan's little dress. "Isn't this perfect? Why change?"
“My mom said my outfit was too casual and told me to change into something else before the meal started.”
Qi Yishan leaned closer to her and whispered listlessly, "My parents are probably going to introduce me to some young master from so-and-so's family again soon."
Qin Shuzhi joked, "Since you knew that, why did you still obediently change your clothes? That's not like you."
Qi Yishan spread her hands and said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. It's my mother's birthday today, and I have to give her face."
Qin Shuzhi said, "Okay, let's go."
Anyway, the two people next to her were chatting so enthusiastically that she barely got a word in edgewise.
She told Qin's mother, then leaned close to Shi Yuanxing's ear and said, "You stay here and chat with Mom. I'm going to change my clothes with Yi San, and we'll be back in a bit."
"good."
As she stood up, Shi Yuanxing gently supported her waist and then pulled out a chair for her.
Qin Shuzhi and Qi Yishan went upstairs to the lounge and found out that Qi's mother had prepared a lot of "battle outfits" for her.
Looking at the beautiful dresses, Qin Shuzhi sighed, "Your uncle and aunt have put so much thought into this."
Qi Yishan looked miserable. "How unpopular am I at home? That they're in such a hurry to marry me off?"
Qin Shuzhi patted her shoulder, "A daughter is like a tree that cannot stay at home. The sooner she gets married, the more rice the family can save."
Qi Yishan's lips twitched slightly. "Thank you, but I wasn't comforted; I was hurt."
"Tsk, you can't handle pressure."
Qi Yishan pondered, "Why do I feel like I'm under even more pressure since you got married?"
Qin Shuzhi, "So you're trying to shift the blame onto me?"
The two chatted and laughed as they chose their dresses.
Half an hour later.
After Qi Yishan changed her clothes and touched up her makeup, the two left the lounge.
As soon as the door opened, Qin Shuzhi looked up and saw a person standing outside.
Shen Yichen stepped forward. "Xiao Zhi, I have something I want to tell you."
Qin Shuzhi ignored her and said to Qi Yishan, "I'm going downstairs to find my husband."
After saying that, she didn't even glance at the person in front of her, and walked around to leave.
Ignored, Shen Yichen turned to face her back and said in a hoarse voice, "The doctor said my eyes are showing signs of recurrence."
He was gambling, gambling that Qin Shuzhi still cared about him even the slightest bit.
However, after he finished speaking, the people in front of him didn't even stop walking, as if his words were nothing but air.
No, to be precise, she treated him like he wasn't there.
She wouldn't even say a word to him, let alone argue with him.
Shen Yichen felt a dull pain in his heart and strode after him.
Qi Yishan, who was following behind, asked anxiously, "Brother, what are you doing?"
Shen Yichen had already blocked Qin Shuzhi's path. Seeing the deep disgust and impatience in her eyes when she was forced to stop, he felt somewhat helpless.
"I... I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to ask you... for the address of the old doctor who performed my surgery back then in Greenland."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sneer came from behind him.
Qin Shuzhi looked up and saw that it was Shi Yuanxing walking over.
"You have to come to my wife for the address just to find someone? What, Mr. Shen, you run the entire Shen Group, and your people can't even handle this kind of thing?"
As Shi Yuanxing spoke, he had already walked to Qin Shuzhi's side, his hand lightly resting on her slender waist, his gaze towards Shen Yichen filled with mockery.
I knew this person wouldn't stay put.
Although he was talking to his mother-in-law, his attention was always on Shen Yichen. When he saw Shen Yichen leave the table, he knew that Shen Yichen was going to bother his wife again.
