"Secretary Qin, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend my son's wedding. I'd like to propose a toast to you." Qi Feng couldn't tell that Bai Chuan and Su Yatou knew him.
He had a very poor impression of this person; he was too cunning, and nobody likes dealing with someone they can't understand.
Moreover, he himself is that kind of person; every time he sees this newly appointed municipal party secretary, it's like looking in a mirror.
After several encounters, the two were practically locked in a fierce battle.
"Minister Qi, congratulations." Qin Lie glanced at Qi Feng, knowing that he didn't like him. Ever since he took this position, many people had disliked him.
He knew who Qi Feng was backing; they weren't from the same system, so he didn't need to be afraid of him.
Now it seems he should have yielded. His savior was the biological father, and for that reason alone he should have given way to him and treated him as an elder.
Qin Lie thought he should find an opportunity to visit them and explain the matter, since they didn't have any major conflicts to begin with.
Lost in thought, he didn't notice that the person sitting next to him was glaring at Su Ti and Li Baichuan.
Su Ti and Li Baichuan weren't blind; they sensed the man's gaze directed their way.
"Comrade, is the food not to your liking?" Suttin was certain they didn't know this person.
But she was certain she wasn't mistaken about the hateful look in her eyes.
"Comrade Su, how could that be? She's my younger sister, spoiled by her family. Please don't mind her, Comrade Su."
Qin Lie glanced at his younger sister, and the stern look in his eyes made Qin Jiaojiao lower her head.
"Really? I thought the food at the Friendship Hotel wasn't to your liking. If this place isn't to your liking, then where else could this comrade possibly find appealing?"
"Comrade Qin's family must be very extraordinary. Your sister probably eats delicacies at home. Our abilities are limited, and this is all we can do."
Suti noticed the tension in their eyes; the hatred in the woman's eyes earlier was genuine.
She never suffers a loss, especially since they were the ones who saved this person in the first place. They didn't expect him to be grateful, but in the end, they ended up saving an enemy instead.
"Comrade Su, please don't misunderstand, we are very satisfied. In that case, I'll toast you on behalf of my sister."
Qin Lie seemed to have no temper at all, and he pinched Qin Jiaojiao hard as she tried to get up. Qin Jiaojiao sensed that her older brother was angry and felt very flustered.
"Let's go to the next table." Qi Feng watched Qin Lie down his drink in one gulp and felt there was something more to his words. The two siblings were really strange.
Now is not the time to discuss this. Qi Feng pulled Li Baichuan to another table.
Before he could figure out the man's intentions, Baichuan didn't want to deal with such a person any longer.
His son was too naive and no match for the fox.
Su Ti and Li Baichuan exchanged a glance. It seems that Dad and this person don't get along very well!
The two walked away cooperatively, intending to turn back and ask what was going on.
Li Baichuan and Su Ti went to the back of the table to offer toasts, and the people at the back were the younger generation.
Everyone drank and laughed, teasing Li Baichuan and Su Ti, and the atmosphere became less tense.
"You'd better eat properly and come back home after you finish. If you dare say another word, you'll be in for a beating when I get back."
Qin Lie released his grip on Qin Jiaojiao's shoulder, his harsh words rendering her immobile.
This table was filled with Qin Lie's confidants or those closely related to the Qin family; they all pretended not to see them.
"Brother, I won't do it again." Qin Jiaojiao felt like her shoulders were about to be ripped off, and she grimaced in pain.
She hated Su Ti and Li Baichuan even more in her heart, but she dared not say a bad word about them. Her older brother was not like her father, who loved and protected her.
If he really lays a hand on her, even her father won't be able to protect her then.
"Hmph, I don't care if you really don't dare or you're just pretending. From now on, when you see Comrade Li and Comrade Su, be more respectful to me."
Qin Lie could tell from her expression that she was unconvinced. If they weren't out in the open, he would definitely have given her a good beating to teach her a lesson.
"Brother, why? Even if the Li family is powerful, our family isn't weak either. Why should we be afraid of them?"
Qin Jiaojiao felt really aggrieved. She thought her brother was afraid to offend the Li family.
She couldn't stop feeling sad whenever she thought of Qi Bowen; she could have married him.
She had liked him for so many years, ever since they were in school. When she found out she was going to be on a blind date with him, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep for several days.
Although he was rude when they met last time, she knew he didn't mean it. Aunt Li liked her, and he would definitely marry her.
But for some reason, nothing happened after that, though she knew Qi Bowen was definitely making preparations.
Who knew that as she waited and waited, she would receive the news that he was not the Li family's biological grandson, leaving her completely stunned.
She wanted to ask her father for help, but her brother wouldn't allow it. Before she could think of a solution, Qi Bowen was sent to the countryside by Marshal Li.
Then the Li family brought back their so-called grandson and held a grand wedding for him.
These things should have belonged to her and Qi Bowen, how could she not hate them?
She just couldn't understand it. Even if Qi Bowen wasn't really the Li family's biological son, they had still been together for so many years and put in so much effort. Didn't all of that count?
We can just support them all, why can't we tolerate him? The Li family is truly ruthless!
Fortunately, Aunt Li was a kind person and couldn't bear to let Qi Bowen go to the countryside with her. She knew that Qi Bowen would come back sooner or later.
She will wait for him, until they get married. Even without the Li family, so what? Her family is still very powerful!
She'll ask her dad for help, and with her older brother and so many other relatives, she refuses to believe that Qi Bowen is inferior to that guy from the countryside.
"Shut up, Qin Jiaojiao. You better remember this: don't say things like 'our Qin family isn't lacking anything' again. Do you think the Qin family can control everything?"
"Furthermore, the Qin family is the Qin family, and you are you. If you try to do anything using the Qin family's name, I can kick you out of the Qin family."
"Don't test my limits. You should know very well that I mean what I say." Qin Lie hadn't paid any attention to the younger children in his family.
But many things required his consent, and he also knew that his family had initially planned to arrange a marriage with the Li family.
He neither approves nor opposes it; it mainly depends on whether the two people can get along.
In the end, he realized that the Li family didn't want his younger sister, so he let the matter drop.
But his sister was clearly in love. After so many things happened to the Li family, he told his mother to find a boyfriend for his younger sister as soon as possible.
They clearly didn't listen to him and were just trying to appease him.
Just like today, his little sister was incredibly audacious enough to secretly follow him. When he saw her, he knew it was his mother who had done this.
Qin Lie was furious, and his anger reached its peak when he saw Su Ti and Li Baichuan.
