Chapter 76 Chapter 76 That’s not as important as you!
Qin Mian met her eyes and immediately bowed and said hello.
Chu Dai curled the corners of her lips and gave her a polite smile, but she didn't intend to exchange too much pleasantries with her.
She took a step forward and walked inside.
Si Tu was worried that Qin Mian would mind, so he couldn't help but grab her hand beside him, then tilted his head to look at her, suggesting that she shouldn't mind it.
Qin Mian pulled the corner of his lips slightly and kept smiling.
She wasn't so upset by Chu Dai's ambiguous attitude.
She's not that fragile either.
And to put it bluntly, Chu Dai is not a very important person to her.
She didn't care about her that much.
So you won't be so easily influenced by the other party.
Si Tu's instinctive action was seen by several people nearby. They all showed shock, their eyes widened, and their mouths opened slightly into an O shape.
The person involved didn't pay much attention, turned around and followed Chu Dai inside.
"Have the rooms been arranged?" Chu Dai asked as she walked into the hall.
The housekeeping manager following behind immediately stepped forward and handed the room card to Si Tu.
Si Tu took it and handed it to his mother, "32nd floor."
She likes living in high-rise buildings.
As for the villa at home, Si Jin had brought other women back, so Chu Dai would not go back to live there again. Every time she returned to China, she would stay in a hotel under her own group.
When we got to the elevator, the manager helped us press the button to open the elevator.
The others waited outside, and Si Tu followed his mother into the elevator.
The elevator closed, and only the mother and son were left inside.
"What would you like to eat?" Si Tu asked as he reached out to help press the elevator button. "Shall we have the kitchen send it to your room?"
"Let's have Chinese food." Chu Dai hesitated for a moment, "You have to eat with me."
"Okay." Si Tu picked up his phone and sent a message to the room manager.
After going upstairs, Si Tu helped push the box out. Chu Dai walked in front and opened the door.
"Is that the one from just now?" Chu Dai started talking about him and Qin Mian after entering the door, "Your woman."
After all, it happened in front of outsiders. These people are very concerned about their reputation and privacy, and rarely talk about family matters in front of outsiders.
"Still your secretary." Chu Dai's tone was somewhat sarcastic when she said this, "Just like your father."
Si Tu felt uncomfortable when he heard this, "How can I be the same as him?"
Si Jin is married, but he is having an affair with his secretary. As a single man, it is reasonable, legal, compliant and moral for him to fall in love with his secretary.
Moreover, Chu Dai herself was with her special assistant, and he didn't know how she had the nerve to accuse him.
Chu Dai really couldn't blame him and remained silent.
"But your secretary is different from that bitch next to your father." When she spoke again, she changed her tone and wording.
Just now, she took a special look and saw that Qin Mian had a beautiful appearance and light makeup, giving people a sense of righteousness.
You can tell at first glance that she's not someone who just messes around with men to get ahead.
Ding Na is a typical slut with no bottom line.
On this point, Chu Dai was still satisfied with Si Tu.
He didn't look like his father.
In fact, Si Tu can be said to be Chu Dai's pride since he was a child.
She was quite proud of him.
After all, Si Tu has been good-looking since he was a child, and he has a good figure when he grows up. Wherever he goes, people will praise him for being so handsome. He has completely absorbed the advantages of his parents.
Which mother wouldn’t be overjoyed when she takes her child out and receives such a large wave of praise?
It is also because of this that compared to Si Jin's indifference, Chu Dai is relatively willing to spend time on Si Tu.
This is also why Si Tu's attitude towards Chu Dai is much more moderate than his attitude towards his father.
Moreover, Si Tu is not only good-looking, but also smart, and he does not have the rebellious period that other children have. He has been clear about his identity as the heir since he was a child. When he grew up, he followed the plan set by his family, studied business and management, immersed himself in the hotel industry, and prepared to take over the family business.
From childhood to adulthood, he has always been the most dazzling existence in both families. Objectively speaking, he is a rare talent and the chosen heir to the family.
Let Chu Dai worry less.
Whenever she talked about her son to others, her face was full of smiles and she couldn't hide her pride.
Therefore, Chu Dai liked her son more and more.
She had no attachment to this marriage. It was only to meet the family's expectations. Giving birth to Si Tu, the heir, was the most important task.
So at first, she just treated it as a task.
It was not until later that she felt more and more that Si Tu, her outstanding son, was the best gift this marriage gave her.
Based on this, Chu Dai and Si Tu's communication style will be softer and more intimate.
"You chose the person yourself, and I believe that you have good taste, but..." She paused and sat down on the sofa, "Your father told me about her situation."
This is also the reason why she came back this time.
Si Jin didn't dare to do anything to Si Tu, so he could only let Chu Dai do it.
Although the two have no feelings for each other, they share the same management philosophy for Si Tu, the only heir, and both put the family's interests first.
"You need to ensure that SC Group will not decline in your hands. Otherwise, if something happens one day, Si Tu..." Chu Dai raised her eyes, her gaze as sharp as her words, "She can't give you any help."
But if he chooses someone who has a strong family backing like him, the situation will be different.
Just like the Si family's hotel and the Chu family's restaurant, they have also encountered various crises, big and small, in the past twenty years. In times of crisis, they helped each other and were able to survive to this day.
Chu Dai and Si Jin's approaches to handling things are indeed different. In comparison, she understands her son better and knows how to get along with him better.
Si Tu is not someone who obeys easily.
He is unruly and has had his own opinions since he was a child.
The only way to change him is to explain the pros and cons and let him weigh them himself.
Unable to force it, Chu Dai patiently explained to him, "When people are young, hormones are at play, and their likes and dislikes are extremely strong, but when they reach a certain age, they become more calm and rational."
"Maybe one day, when you encounter a problem and the person you love the most can't help you, you will feel exhausted and start to doubt your choice. You will also wonder if you had chosen someone else, and you would be more relaxed now."
Si Tu took a bottle of water, unscrewed it for her, and handed it to her, "So, have you had it easy these years?"
Chu Dai took it and said, "I don't have a strong sense of crisis."
Si Tu's parents are the most typical example of marriage in this wealthy circle.
Neither of them thought there was anything wrong. They had the same goal: to manage their respective businesses, train heirs, and then find love outside and have their own fun.
Both parties thought they got what they wanted.
The only ones hurt were their children.
But they don't care.
After all, Si Tu was just a tool for them to inherit.
Therefore, his inner trauma was not a problem for them.
However, even after so many years, Si Tu still feels resentful.
"But I don't want my future children to be like me." He sat down across from his mother, his expression darkening and becoming sad. "I also don't want the person I like to suffer injustice and follow me without any status."
He is different from his parents after all.
It was because of the precedent of his parents that he knew more clearly that he must never become a person like his parents.
**
And the very next day, the night before National Day, Qin Mian suddenly received a call from Zhu Yinglong's mother.
She looked at the other party's number and hesitated for a long time.
I feel that it is necessary to answer the call, at least to know why the other party is looking for me.
It’s better to be mentally prepared.
Human intuition is a wonderful thing.
After she answered the call, she found that things were not that simple.
"Where are you now?" Zhu's mother asked straight to the point, without even the usual greetings.
Qin Mian immediately had a bad feeling in his heart, "Have you... come to Nanzhou?"
Otherwise, I wouldn't ask her where she is.
Most likely...
"Yeah." As expected, the other party said, "He came to your old place and said you moved away. Where are you now?"
Zhu's parents should have known by now that she and Zhu Yinglong had actually broken up a long time ago, and not only would she not help him, but she would increase his punishment.
Before, she had intended to appease them to prevent them from hiring a good lawyer for Zhu Yinglong.
Now, they probably all realized what was happening.
In this case, they will definitely not let Qin Mian go easily.
Therefore, Qin Mian couldn't answer the other party's question.
"Speak!" The other end was anxious, "Where are you now? We want to see you!"
Qin Mian's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously took the phone from his ear and hung up the call evasively.
Her face turned very pale. Si Tu came over after taking a shower. Seeing her staring at her phone screen with a strange expression, he walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qin Mian frowned slightly, a little distracted. When she heard the voice, she looked up and subconsciously told her that Zhu Yinglong's parents came to see her again.
"You said..." Qin Mian frowned even deeper as he thought of something, "Will they go directly to the company?"
She and Zhu Yinglong both worked at SC Group, and they knew about it before.
Now that I can't find her privately, if I get anxious, there's a high possibility that I'll go to the company to look for her.
"I..." Qin Mian became more and more anxious the more he thought about it, "I should go meet them."
After all, it's a private matter, and we can't let them cause trouble in the company.
Not only is it embarrassing, but the group's headquarters is integrated with the hotel. If they make a scene and are seen by other guests, the impact will be quite bad.
And they may even intentionally take advantage of this influence.
When Qin Mian thought of this, he couldn't sit still any longer. He got off the sofa, put on his slippers and was about to walk out.
"Don't go." Si Tu pulled her back again, "I'll ask the security to step up precautions, but you can't take the risk yourself."
It was obvious that their son was going to be sentenced and they would not let Qin Mian off easily. If she went to see them now, her life might be in danger, to put it in a serious way.
"But if they cause a scene in the hotel..." Qin Mian was very worried.
"That's not as important as you!" Si Tu had to interrupt her and pulled her into his arms, "Qin Mian, you must listen to me this time."
He has now learned to respect her wishes more and more, but when it comes to matters of life and death, he must be strong this time.
Qin Mian thought that this time he would most likely be implicated, and he felt very guilty.
It was also at this moment that she felt that his occasional dominance was not so bad.
He really did care about her.
But the more he thought about her, the more guilty she felt.
If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have to get involved.
She buried her head in his shoulder, feeling mixed emotions.
I didn't even get much sleep that night.
She tossed and turned in bed, and it was only after Si Tu kissed her and comforted her over and over again that she calmed down a little.
And Qin Mian's prediction was not wrong.
At around eight o'clock in the morning, the hotel front desk informed the front desk secretary of the president's office, who then called Qin Mian and said that an elderly couple was looking for Secretary Qin.
Security was trying to drive them away, but the two men were arguing loudly at the hotel entrance, attracting many guests to watch.
The hotel's security captain, customer service manager, and general manager of the main store all showed up one after another, but they refused to leave until they saw Qin Mian.
She also started shouting at the door and asked to see Qin Mian, saying that she and Zhu Yinglong were together before, and now she was hooking up with the son of the hotel owner, so she used conspiracy and tricks to frame him and send their son to prison.
They called Qin Mian the modern Pan Jinlian and Si Tu the modern Ximen Qing.
People are most interested in this kind of emotional gossip. As more and more people gathered, they began to record and film it and post it on the Internet.
Qin Mian felt that he could no longer sit idly by and wait for death.
"I must go!" Qin Mian stood up and rushed out, "I'm the only one who can handle this!"
Public opinion is terrifying.
Once people all over the country believe that it is true, not only will the reputation of the two people be ruined, but the hotel and catering business of SC Group will also be affected.
"Don't worry." Si Tu comforted her and pressed her to sit on the edge of the bed, "I'll go."
They are making such a big fuss now, just to fight to the death.
Once Qin Mian showed up, they might really grab her and start attacking her.
Si Tu was really worried that they would go to extremes and harm her.
"Be good." He kissed her, "I'll go and take care of this, don't show up."
"Trust me, I'll fix it." He was really worried that she wouldn't listen, so he kept comforting her and explaining, "They don't dare to do anything to me, but you're different."
Si Tu is a strong man, and he has the Si family's status, so most people don't dare to use violence against him.
But Qin Mian was different.
It is the nature of most people to bully the weak and fear the strong, and to pick on the weak.
"You must listen to me." Si Tu kissed her one last time, told her to comfort her, and then turned and walked out.
However, where could Qin Mian sit at home?
She paced back and forth in the room, anxiously checking her phone from time to time to see what was happening.
She was also worried that Zhu Yinglong's parents would vent their emotions on Si Tu after they couldn't find her.
After all, looking at the situation at the scene, the two of them looked like crazy.
When people are in this state, they are most likely to lose their rationality.
Si Tu couldn't be asked to take responsibility for her affairs.
Thinking of this, Qin Mian turned around and walked out, went downstairs, and got into his car.
Si Tu had already driven out of the garage before her. She started the car and quickly followed behind him.
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Both of them are instinctively thinking about each other, so don’t love me too much!
It depends on when you realize this clearly.
But it's almost over, after all, there are not many chapters left to finish.
