Chapter 378 Dinner Party
"You're doing very well now." Zhong Jinghao nodded. "Also, don't call me by my first name in the future. Even if you can't call me brother directly, you should at least call me Brother Jinghao!"
Zhong Nianyao couldn't help but give Zhong Jinghao a cold look. Although she didn't say anything, her eyes were full of naked disgust.
Zhong Jinghao felt a little embarrassed when he thought about what he had just said.
He coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, "Okay, let's go back!"
Zhong Jinghao and Zhong Nianyao returned to the living room one after another, but did not attract any attention.
The atmosphere in the living room was still lively and harmonious, and Lin Wanrou handled it with ease. Even without her boyfriend, she wouldn't feel awkward at all.
Zhong Minghao and Zheng Siling are naturally very satisfied with Lin Wanrou, their future daughter-in-law.
There were no classes that afternoon, so Zhong Nianyao had originally planned to set up a stall near Tongtian Bridge after school. However, Zhao Xuanlang and Liu Zihang insisted on inviting her to dinner, and after some thought, she decided not to refuse.
This dinner was proposed by Liu Zihang. On the one hand, he wanted to thank Zhong Nianyao for helping his aunt before, and on the other hand, he also wanted to take this opportunity to make friends with Zhong Nianyao.
After knowing Zhong Nianyao's ability, he admired her very much and naturally wanted to be Zhong Nianyao's younger brother like Zhao Xuanlang. This way, he would have more opportunities to see big scenes in the future!
I have to say that boys of this age do have some of the "second year syndrome" issues.
However, he was not as thick-skinned as Zhao Xuanlang, so he could only do it slowly.
After sitting down, while the food was not yet served, they started talking about the previous case.
"Master, you—"
Liu Zihang had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Zhong Nian Yao.
Zhong Nianyao rolled her eyes at Liu Zihang and said, "Don't call me Master."
"Huh?" Liu Zihang scratched his hair, feeling a little embarrassed. "But, I don't think it's respectful to ask me to call you by your name. And if I call you Miss Zhong, it seems too unfamiliar."
After thinking about it, his eyes lit up, "Otherwise, I'll just follow Xuan Lang and call you Boss. Anyway, you're Xuan Lang's Boss, so you're my Boss too."
"You're trying to cheat, aren't you?" Zhao Xuanlang on the side said anxiously, "That's my boss, what does it have to do with you? Don't yell at me."
"Hey, we're all brothers, don't be so picky!" Liu Zihang laughed. "Besides, I'm calling Zhong Nianyao the boss, not you. Why are you objecting?"
After saying that, he gave Zhong Nianyao a flattering smile, "Boss, do you think I'm right?"
Zhong Nianyao didn't care, "Whatever you want."
After receiving Zhong Nianyao's answer, Liu Zihang was beaming with joy. He immediately shouted, "Boss."
Zhao Xuanlang, standing aside, was furious. He had wanted to become Zhong Nianyao's younger brother by being thick-skinned and persistent. But now Liu Zihang was going to get her all with just one meal. It was really unfair. But——
He glanced at Zhong Nianyao and didn't dare to say anything else. This was the boss's decision, and as a younger brother, he couldn't disobey! Otherwise, if Zhong Nianyao was really upset, his position as a younger brother would be in jeopardy. Especially now that Liu Zihang, who was eyeing him with greed, appeared beside him.
No, he can't be outdone by Liu Zihang.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xuanlang immediately became attentive, pouring tea and shelling peanuts for Zhong Nianyao, serving her with such attentiveness that even Liu Zihang, standing by, was stunned and couldn't help but give her a thumbs-up. At the same time, he was also thinking about how he could please Zhong Nianyao, the new boss!
“That’s right!”
Liu Zihang's sudden voice almost scared everyone present.
"What are you doing?" Zhao Xuanlang was the first to scold, "You're suddenly so loud, I wonder if it'll scare people!"
"No, Boss, I suddenly remembered something and thought I should tell you." Liu Zihang quickly explained, "I didn't mean to scare you."
Before Zhong Nianyao could even speak, Zhao Xuanlang interrupted, "Then why don't you just speak up? Don't be so mysterious here. The boss doesn't like that kind of thing."
Hearing that Zhong Nianyao didn't like it, Liu Zihang didn't dare to delay and quickly said, "It's about the case of Qiao Qiao before, do you know?"
He had always felt sorry for the little ghost Qiao Qiao he had met before. At such a young age, he was killed by his own father. Although he was a fierce ghost, he had become so because he had suffered great injustice.
After returning, he kept an eye on the matter and often went to the Public Security Bureau to inquire about the progress.
Although he was not involved in the incident, he was at the scene at that time, so Captain Han Xin of the criminal police team did not deliberately conceal the truth. Apart from the information that could not be said, he still revealed some information to him.
Just a few days ago, this matter has come to a conclusion.
When he saw Zhong Nianyao and Zhao Xuanlang were there today, he remembered to tell them about this matter.
"Know what?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuanlang became anxious and quickly asked, "How is the investigation of that case going? Are there any results?"
Although the little evil spirit named Qiao Qiao had almost killed him, he did not blame him. Moreover, he also wanted to see what would happen to the beast that had killed Qiao Qiao.
"There's a result," Liu Zihang said quickly. "I've been following this matter closely. A few days ago, the criminal police team investigated the case thoroughly, and Qiao Qiao's bastard father has been arrested. He's been locked up now, waiting for the procuratorate to prosecute him. After the court hearing, he'll be sentenced to death."
This case has attracted a lot of attention. Qiao Qiao's biological father will definitely not escape punishment. If this is such an obvious intentional homicide, it will not be enough to appease the public anger if it is not sentenced to death.
"That beast deserves to die." Zhao Xuanlang's face was filled with righteous indignation. "He even cruelly killed his own flesh and blood. He is not worthy of being a human being. Calling him a beast is an insult to beasts."
Zhong Nianyao on the side did not express any thoughts or say anything, but just waited quietly for Liu Zihang to explain things clearly.
"Let's not talk about that for now." Liu Zihang spoke quickly, a hint of mystery on his face. "Then do you know why Qiao Qiao's beastly father killed his own daughter?"
