Chapter 228 Meeting Zhou Qi Again
In the evening, the lobsters and fish caught during the day were on the dinner table. Qian Muchue made a dish of her specialty, braised fish, and stir-fried crayfish. The twins, a boy and a girl, had no idea what was going on. Qian Xiaoya was a little sad to see that her new "pet" had turned into two pots of food. She had wanted to keep it for fun.
But when eating, Qian Xiaoya ate a lot, and her appetite was even bigger than usual, so much so that her tears turned into saliva.
During the three days in the countryside, Qian Muchue and Gong Chen did not work. They took their three children and had a great time as a family. For Gong Chen, except for the villagers being too enthusiastic, everything else was good. Grandma Qian was also in a good mood these days.
When they returned to City A, not only Grandma Qian was reluctant to leave, but Qian Xiaoya was also a little reluctant to leave. They couldn't go fishing and catching shrimps like this in the city, and their parents had to accompany them all day.
"Mom, when are we going to come to great-grandmother's house next time?" Qian Xiaoya asked expectantly, blinking her big eyes.
"We'll come back and play when mom and dad are free." Qian Muchue replied with a smile.
"Then when will mom and dad have time?" the little girl continued to ask.
Well, Qian Muchue saw that the little girl really wanted to come again, but it was hard to say when. If she made a promise casually and didn't fulfill it later, it would be considered deceiving the child, which is not good.
"Yaya, you should ask daddy about this question?" Qian Muchue passed the buck very naturally.
Gong Chen: “…”
After returning to City A, the next day was the launch reception for the Gong Group's real estate project. According to the arrangement, Gong Chen had to be present. Qian Muchue didn't want to go at first, but Gong Chen said he had something to show her. Well, even if Gong Chen didn't say it, Qian Muchue knew that her husband was taking her to see the house.
Since their wedding anniversary one year, Qian Muchue received the first house from Gong Chen as an anniversary gift. On important holidays afterwards, Gong Chen often gave her houses, and she was increasingly showing signs of becoming a real estate tycoon.
This time it was the launch reception for another property development of the Gong Group. Qian Muchue could guess with her toes what Gong Chen was going to take her to see.
The real estate project launched by Gong Group in City A is called Huguang Yayuan. It is an important project of Gong Group in City A. Unlike the pre-sale of general real estate projects, Huguang Yayuan was launched after completion.
This is an important project of the Gong Group in City A. Initially, the Gong Group looked at the trend and believed that housing prices would rise in the short term, so it decided to wait until completion before selling the properties. This is indeed the case. In the past two years, housing prices in City A have skyrocketed.
The next day, at the new property's opening reception, the Gong Group invited many wealthy families. Huguang Yayuan is one of the top high-end properties in City A. Ordinary people cannot afford it, so it is mainly sold to wealthy people.
At the party, Qian Muchue didn't know any of the older generation guests except Zhao's father. However, she knew quite a few of the younger generation. To be precise, they were people the original owner knew, thanks to Zhao Wan who had brought the original owner into the circle of rich second-generations.
But in just a few years, huge changes have occurred. The rich young man and daughter who once treated Qian Muchue as a joke are now brought here by their parents and take the initiative to greet Gong Chen and his wife.
The older generation does not know about Qian Muchue's past, but the Chuxin Technology founded by Qian Muchue has been frequently reported in financial news, and most of these business CEOs know about it. The Oriental Verve brand, a partnership between Qian Muchue and Zhao Xi, is also very popular among wealthy wives.
"Mrs. Gong, you are really promising at a young age. I would be thankful if my Zhu Ting could be one tenth as good as you." said a man in his fifties, with his daughter Zhu Ting standing next to him.
Mr. Xie's words were somewhat sincere. He was not exaggerating just because Qian Muchue was Gong Chen's wife. Compared with Qian Muchue, who was about the same age, his daughter was still asking him for money and had nothing to do all day.
Although a family like theirs does not need their daughter to make money, but seeing Qian Muchue, who is about the same age as their daughter, doing business better than themselves, they are somewhat envious of other people's daughters who are really outstanding.
"Mr. Xie, you are too kind. Mr. Xie is so capable, I think your daughter will not be bad either." Qian Muchue said this very politely.
Gong Chen was called over by the staff. She was alone there and had been approached by several groups of people. The words they said were similar, and Qian Muchue's replies were also almost the same.
"Haha, Madam Gong, you think too highly of her. Zhu Ting, Madam Gong is about the same age as you, and she is already so capable. You should learn more from her, okay?" The man called Mr. Xie said to his daughter.
"I understand." Zhu Ting said uncomfortably, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible.
It’s not that she couldn’t accept her father saying that someone else was better than her, but that the other person was Qian Muchue. Many of the rich girls present knew Qian Muchue. Most of them were just strangers, and a small number had some grudges against her. Unfortunately, she was one of those who had some grudges against her.
At first, Zhu Ting liked to hang out with Zhao Wan, and she disliked Qian Muchue, who had no background but was very beautiful, and she said a lot of sarcastic words to her. Who would have known that in just a few years, Qian Muchue had been reborn and had become so beautiful that even her parents had to please her.
Thinking about what happened that year, Zhu Ting was very regretful. If she had known this would happen, she would have definitely controlled her mouth.
Qian Muchue recognized Zhu Ting at a glance and saw her embarrassment. Qian Muchue certainly knew why. Sometimes, as long as you live a very good life and do nothing, it will make those who have made things difficult for you feel very uncomfortable.
Mr. Xie didn't know the inside story, and he was very unhappy when he saw his daughter being so shy and not generous at all. Zhu Ting didn't know how to perform well in such a good opportunity. Logically speaking, people of the same age would be able to chat more.
At this time, Qian Muchue saw a familiar man talking to a waitress not far away, and then the two left. Qian Muchue frowned slightly.
"Mr. Xie, I have something to do, so I'll excuse myself first." Qian Muchue said with a smile, glancing at the place where the two left from time to time.
"Mrs. Gong, please do as you please." Mr. Xie said quickly.
Seeing Qian Muchue leave, Zhu Ting breathed a sigh of relief and didn't care about her father's complaints.
Qian Muchue walked in the direction the two people left. At the end was a corridor entrance. Before she saw anyone, she heard a voice coming.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I'll help you clean it." A young girl's voice.
"Wash? Do you know how much my clothes cost? Can you wash them?" This was a man's voice.
"Excuse me, can I send it to the dry cleaning for you?" the girl asked in a pleading voice.
"Such expensive clothes, can you afford to pay for them if they are damaged during washing? I will find your supervisor now and ask him to deal with it." The man's tone was a bit threatening.
"Please don't go to my supervisor. Just tell me how much money you want and I will save the money to pay you back." The girl said hurriedly. If she went to her supervisor, she would not only lose the money but also her job.
"It's not easy for you, little girl. I'll give you a chance, but you have to leave something with me, otherwise what if you run away? Do you have something important that can..." The man was interrupted by someone who suddenly appeared before he finished speaking.
Qian Muchue listened for a long time and couldn't stand it anymore. It was obvious that this man had bad intentions towards the little girl.
"Master Zhou, I'm sorry. Since it's our employee's fault, I'll compensate her for the clothes." Qian Muchue looked at Zhou Qi, whom she hadn't seen for several years, and said with a hint of sarcasm in her words.
There were so many things to do in the past few years that Qian Muchue almost forgot about Zhou Qi. Unexpectedly, when they met again, he still hadn't changed his style, and was even more blatant than before.
Qian Muchue glanced at the waitress, only to see her looking at her with pitiful eyes. She was not very old, so Qian Muchue guessed that she was probably a college student who came here to work and study, and was not very worldly-wise, so she would be intimidated by a jerk like Zhou Qi.
Zhou Qi's face turned grim when he saw Qian Muchue suddenly appear. He had just seen Qian Muchue at the cocktail party and subconsciously avoided her. His parents wanted to take him to greet Gong Chen and his wife, but Zhou Qi refused. He didn't expect that after dodging for so long, he would be blocked by Qian Muchue in this place.
Zhou Qi just felt unlucky. He knew clearly about the grudge between him and Qian Muchue. In the past, the other party had no power and influence, so he could just offend her. But now it was different. Even his parents had to be polite to Qian Muchue. As a second-generation rich man who relied on his family, he had to be honest.
If he had known earlier, he would not have been so tempted to provoke the waitress, and he would not have been blocked by Qian Muchue.
"Mrs. Gong, you're joking. How could I ask you to pay for it?" Zhou Qi said with an ugly smile.
"What? Master Zhou, do you really want this young lady to be responsible?"
"No, no, I'll just go back and wash it. No one is responsible." Zhou Qi said quickly. In fact, there was only a small amount of wine on his clothes, and he deliberately bumped into the waitress and got it stained.
When the waitress heard Zhou Qi say that she didn't need to be responsible, she breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked him.
"Thank you, thank you." The first sentence was said to Zhou Qi, and the second sentence was said to Qian Muchue. It was obvious that she was more sincere when thanking Qian Muchue.
If it weren't for the help of Madam Gong, she would have been in big trouble. Judging from the attitude of Young Master Zhou just now, she didn't know how much money she would have to pay.
"Okay, let's go to work." Qian Muchue said with a smile.
The waitress nodded gratefully and quickly left this dangerous place. Qian Muchue saw that the matter was resolved and didn't want to say much to Zhou Qi. Some people would not listen unless they took it seriously.
Qian Muchue didn't want to talk, but Zhou Qi stopped her.
"Mrs. Gong, I was young and impulsive in the past. I hope you will forgive me if I did something wrong. Of course, I will not talk about your past in front of Mr. Gong." Zhou Qi said meaningfully.
The first part was an apology to Qian Muchue for what happened before, and the second part was a threat. What else could Zhou Qi do to threaten Qian Muchue? It was nothing more than the hotel incident that year.
After hearing what Zhou Qi said, Qian Muchue laughed. It was true that a dog will always eat shit. After a few years, Zhou Qi really hadn't made any progress at all.
Qian Muchue did not respond to Zhou Qi's words and left directly. Talking to such a person for even one more second is a waste of life. It is better to let reality teach him a lesson.
Seeing Qian Muchue leave without saying a word, Zhou Qi didn't know what she was thinking. He probably thought Qian Muchue accepted his suggestion. After all, no woman would want her husband to know about such a thing.
Thinking about what happened back then, Zhou Qi still feels a little regretful, especially every time he sees Qian Muchue appear on the screen, he can't help but look at her a few more times, because he has never slept with a big star.
Compared to a few years ago, Qian Muchue is certainly more attractive now, but it's a pity that he can't afford to offend her. Zhou Qi thought regretfully that if he had succeeded at the beginning, he wouldn't have to worry about Qian Muchue's identity now.
Qian Muchue didn't know what Zhou Qi was thinking. As soon as she returned to the party, Gong Chen came over.
"Where have you been?" Gong Chen asked in a low voice. He hadn't seen Qian Muchue just now.
"I encountered a bad thing and dealt with it." Qian Muchue said without hiding anything.
Gong Chen raised his brows slightly. Just a moment ago, something big seemed to have happened that he didn't know about. Qian Muchue didn't hide it from him and told him the whole story. Gong Chen thought of this person. It should be thanks to this person that he was able to have any intersection with Qian Muchue.
At the beginning, he and Qian Muchue had no feelings for each other, so Gong Chen naturally didn't think of causing trouble for Zhou Qi. Later, his relationship with Qian Muchue became better and better, and Zhou Qi was completely forgotten by Gong Chen. By chance, Zhou Qi had a few more years of good life.
After Qian Muchue finished speaking, she noticed that Gong Chen looked unhappy. Of course Gong Chen was unhappy. Thinking that his wife was being plotted against by someone, Gong Chen couldn't help but beat Zhou Qi up. He was so angry that he wanted to hit someone. Gong Chen had never had anyone else like him except Zhou Qi since he was a child.
"Don't be angry. People like this should be punished by law." Qian Muchue instantly understood Gong Chen's thoughts, took Gong Chen's hand, and said with a smile.
Qian Muchue's idea was very simple. Judging from the look on Zhou Qi's face today, he must have done a lot of illegal things. He didn't seem to be a smart person, but every time he targeted a young girl with no background and little experience in the world.
If she was determined to investigate, Qian Muchue didn't believe that she wouldn't be able to find Zhou Qi's weakness.
Although Qian Muchue could pay someone to make things difficult for Zhou Qi today, she considered herself a law-abiding citizen, so she still wanted to use legal means to deal with Zhou Qi.
Although Gong Chen was angry, he never refused Qian Muchue. After knowing her thoughts, Gong Chen immediately asked someone to find the best private detective to investigate Zhou Qi, the second-generation rich kid. He wished that this bastard would be punished by law immediately.
Gong Chen originally wanted to take Qian Muchue to see a house, and was not delayed by Zhou Qi's matter. After finishing the opening speech, Gong Chen took Qian Muchue's hand and went to see the house he had left for his wife. No matter in terms of location, lighting, or scenery, it was the best in the Huguang Yayuan community.
At the cocktail party, many people were attracted by this house. In addition to the wealthy people in City A, there were also wealthy businessmen from other places who bought the property for investment. After all, it was produced by the Gong Group and was guaranteed.
But no matter how many people want to buy this house, they have no way to do so. Gong Chen will naturally leave the best house to his wife. Even though the two of them are in City B and Qian Muchue can hardly live there, Gong Chen will still give her the best.
