Chapter 34: The Hongmen Banquet



"Mom, let's go in quickly. Hongwei and the others are still waiting inside." Qian Yifeng said.

"Okay, okay, let's go in quickly." Grandma Qian said excitedly. She had only seen this eldest grandson a few times when he was a child, and she didn't know what he looked like now.

Qian Muchue supported Grandma Qian, fearing that she would accidentally bump into something out of excitement.

Qian Yifeng booked a large private room. Qian Hongwei and Zhang Ya were waiting inside. They put away their phones only after seeing Grandma Qian and others come in.

"Grandma." Qian Hongwei called out dryly at his parents' signal.

"Oh, good boy." Looking at her tall grandson, Grandma Qian liked him very much. She took out the red envelope that she had prepared long ago from her pocket and stuffed it into Qian Hongwei's hand.

Qian Muchue bought the red envelope, and Grandma Qian also prepared one for Zhang Ya.

The old lady didn't have much money on her, and she didn't want the money Qian Muchue gave her, so she gave her two red envelopes of 200 yuan each. Zhang Ya was fine, but she didn't expect the old lady to give her a red envelope in return. Qian Hongwei curled his lips when he saw the amount of the red envelope.

"It's enough for the family to just have a casual meal. Such a big restaurant would cost a lot of money. It's too expensive." Grandma Qian began to feel sorry for the money again.

"Mom, the owner of this restaurant is a partner with Yifeng, and his food is really good." Zhang Shan spoke to Grandma Qian with a smile for the first time, then looked at Qian Muchue, "Muxue, order whatever you like, don't be polite."

Qian Muchue raised her eyebrows, something was wrong. Zhang Shan had never been kind to her stepdaughter, not even pretending. She had never looked down on Grandma Qian, the rural mother-in-law, and it was even more impossible for her to pretend to be nice to her in front of Grandma Qian.

She inexplicably felt like this was a Hongmen Banquet. Qian Muchue couldn't think of what they wanted from her. Could it be for her house? But it didn't look like that. Qian Muchue looked carefully at everyone's expressions.

Qian Hongwei was playing with his cell phone and nothing could be seen. Zhang Ya seemed to be worried and in a bad mood. As for Zhang Shan, there was a strong sign of ill intention written on her face. Qian Yifeng, acting like a filial son and a loving father, accompanied Grandma Qian in conversation, but his eyes kept glancing towards the door as if he was waiting for someone.

Qian Muchue thought of something in her mind, Yang's Restaurant, and connected it to Boss Yang in the original owner's memory.

"Uncle Qian, the waiter said you were here, so I came over to see you." A fat man walked into the private room with a waiter holding a menu.

Everyone was attracted by the man's voice, and Qian Yifeng stood up immediately.

"Boss Yang, I didn't expect you to be here today. I brought my mother, wife and children here for dinner. Mu Xue, let me introduce you. This is Boss Yang from Yang's Restaurant. He's a promising young man." Qian Yifeng said enthusiastically.

Looking at the Boss Yang mentioned by Qian Yifeng, the Boss Yang in Qian Muchue's memory matched this fat and big-eared face, and Qian Muchue's eyes darkened.

Qian Muchue pretended not to hear Qian Yifeng's words and was only focused on talking to Grandma Qian.

"Grandma, are you thirsty? I'll pour you a glass of water."

"Okay." Grandma Qian didn't know what was going on either.

Boss Xiao Yang couldn't walk when he saw Qian Muchue's pretty face. He stared at Qian Muchue with lustful eyes. She was indeed a female college student. Her temperament was completely different from the women he had played with before.

Seeing that Qian Muchue didn't look at him and only talked to Grandma Qian, Boss Xiao Yang thought that this was a sign of Qian Muchue being shy.

"Boss Xiao Yang, how about we sit down and have a meal together?" Qian Yifeng knew that Boss Xiao Yang had a crush on Qian Muchue as soon as he saw his expression, so he suggested.

"Okay, I happen to be free now. Uncle Qian, please feel free to eat anything you want. I'll treat you today." Boss Xiao Yang looked generous.

"Oh, Boss Xiao Yang is so generous. Come, sit next to Mu Xue. You young people have something to talk about." Zhang Shan said with a smile.

"Heh." Qian Muchue sneered, interrupting the lively atmosphere in the private room.

"Dad, if you are busy today, I will take grandma back first. When you are not busy, we will continue today's family dinner." Qian Muchue said coldly.

In this situation, Grandma Qian also realized that something was wrong. She was in a difficult situation with her son on one side and her granddaughter on the other.

"Mu Xue, why are you so ignorant? Boss Xiao Yang is your father's business partner, not an outsider. We are just having a meal together." Zhang Shan said while holding back her anger, secretly cursing Qian Mu Xue for being a troublemaker.

"Yes, Boss Yang is young and promising. He now manages two Yang's restaurants. You can have a chat with him." Qian Yifeng echoed, hinting to Qian Muchue that Boss Yang came from a wealthy family.

"Dad, today is a family dinner. What is Uncle Xiao Yang's status in attending?" Qian Muchue asked back, emphasizing the word "uncle".

Humph, as far as I can remember, this young boss Yang's real name is Yang Bao. He is 15 years older than Qian Muchue, has been divorced twice, and has a son. With his fat head and big brain, some people would believe him if he said he was the same age as Qian Yifeng.

"Uncle Qian, since it's your family dinner today, it's really not appropriate for me to attend. Let's make an appointment next time." Boss Xiao Yang is not stupid. He can see that something is wrong, but he is patient with beautiful women. If it doesn't work today, let's make an appointment next time.

"Okay, next time Uncle Qian, I'll treat you and let Mu Xue apologize to you." Qian Yifeng promised Boss Xiao Yang that he would bring Qian Mu Xue with him next time.

"Uncle Qian, you're welcome." Boss Xiao Yang said with a smile and left the private room.

As soon as Boss Xiao Yang left the private room, Qian Yifeng immediately became angry.

"Qian Muchue, who did you learn this from? You are disrespectful to your elders." Qian Yifeng said angrily.

Qian Hongwei, who had been playing with his phone, didn't dare to play anymore, knowing that his father was really angry. Zhang Ya also remained silent.

"Yifeng, please speak nicely. Mu Xue didn't mean it." Grandma Qian advised, not wanting her son and granddaughter to quarrel.

"Mu Xue, why don't you know what's good for you? Boss Yang just now can earn at least several million a year. How much can you earn a month after graduation? Your father and I are thinking about you. Girls should get married when they grow up. Why don't you understand?" Zhang Shan looked at her with a sincere look on her face.

"Really? If she's so good, why don't you introduce her to Sister Zhang Ya? She's two years older than me, so I'm not in a hurry." Qian Muchue counterattacked.

Zhang Shan was speechless, and Zhang Ya, who had been silent, was suddenly called out. Zhang Ya knew what was going on today. Although Zhang Shan said that Boss Xiao Yang had many bad qualities, he was rich. Zhang Ya also had some ideas, but after seeing how stupid Boss Xiao Yang was, she would not accept his wealth even if it increased tenfold.

"I see that Boss Yang is at least 35 years old. If he is a little older, he can probably be my father. At his age, he should have been married. Has he been divorced? How many times has he been divorced? How many children does he have? Dad, tell me about it." Qian Muchue spoke one after another.

Zhang Ya was surprised, her mouth slightly open. When did Qian Muchue become so smart that she could guess almost everything about Boss Xiao Yang.

Grandma Qian looked at Qian Yifeng in disbelief. Her son actually wanted to introduce such a person to her granddaughter.

"Qian Muchue, I am your father, you have to listen to me." Qian Yifeng was angry and embarrassed.

"Dad, I can tell you right now that I will not be going to see Boss Xiao Yang. If you really force me, I will have to talk to my mother, your ex-wife, Ms. Yang Xue, about this matter."

Although Yang Xue doesn't care about her daughter, she is not a pushover since her ex-husband dared to sell her daughter to support his mistress's family. Although the Qian family's property is now under Qian Yifeng's name, Yang Xue has an agreement signed by Qian Yifeng. Qian Muchue is already an adult, so Qian Yifeng needs to give half of the property rights to Qian Muchue.

When mentioning Yang Xue, Qian Yifeng was speechless for a moment. He really didn't dare to do anything to Qian Muchue, for fear of not getting any fish but getting himself into trouble.

"That's not possible. Both Yangji Restaurant and Yangji Restaurant have cooperation with us. If you don't go, you will offend Boss Yang. How can we continue the business cooperation? Are you trying to force me and your father to death?" Zhang Shan finally tore off her hypocritical face and said angrily.

Since Zhang Shan and Qian Yifeng got married, they both resigned from their previous companies. After all, their affair was a big uproar and it was not very good. Zhang Shan took out the money she earned as a mistress and started a company with Qian Yifeng, with herself as the boss. The company's main business is to provide tableware and paper towels to major hotels.

At the end of the year, the couple can earn hundreds of thousands of yuan. Although they are not rich, the family can live in City A without any problems.

The two restaurants, Yangji Restaurant, can bring Qian Yifeng's company a profit of 70,000 to 80,000 yuan a year, making them big customers.

"Auntie, so what you mean is?" Qian Muchue asked with a smile.

"You must interact with Boss Xiao Yang and not ruin our business." Zhang Shan looked strong.

Grandma Qian, who was standing by, was furious when she heard this. She didn't expect that her son and daughter-in-law would treat her granddaughter like this.

"Dad, Auntie, I've been away from the Qian family for more than three years. I haven't taken a penny from you in these years. The profits from your business have nothing to do with me, and you can't blame me for the losses. I hope you can understand this."

"Regarding the grace of raising me, it was my grandmother who raised me since I was a child, and I will support her. As for the three years I spent in high school at the Qian family, I think you should have recovered your investment with the house my mother left to you two." Qian Muchue said slowly.

"What do you mean? Are you going to settle old scores with your father now?" Qian Yifeng said angrily, feeling that Qian Muchue was extremely rebellious.

"That's just what I mean. We both know how much of a father-daughter relationship we had before. I won't do anything I don't want to do for anyone in your family. If you have such a thing next time, please think carefully about what I said today before you do it."
