Chapter 398: Tonight's Surprise
Everyone chatted while enjoying the food.
Lin Youjuan secretly glanced at her phone, but still hadn't received a reply from Lu Qingye. She felt inexplicably uneasy.
Meng Chuyuan had just been chatting with Lu Qianling for a while, and she didn't pay much attention to Lin Youjuan. When she turned her head to pick up some food, she found that Lin Youjuan hadn't picked up her chopsticks yet.
She scooped a few pieces of meat from the hot pot and put them into Lin Youjuan's bowl, saying softly, "Mom, stop looking at your phone and eat quickly."
Lin Youjuan hummed softly, then quietly leaned towards Meng Chuyuan and asked softly, "When can we go home?"
"It probably won't be over until nine." Meng Chuyuan looked up and saw that Lin Youjuan was not in good condition. Meng Chuyuan instinctively put down his chopsticks and focused his attention on her, his tone revealing a hint of worry: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No." Lin Youjuan told Meng Chuyuan her concerns truthfully: "I told Aye this afternoon that the production team invited me to attend the closing banquet. I wonder if he will come after he finishes his work and sees the news. What if it ends early and he makes a wasted trip?"
After hearing this, Meng Chuyuan's concern for her gradually turned into helplessness, "I thought it was something else!"
After a moment of silence, Meng Chuyuan comforted her: "Don't worry, he will definitely know his limits. Let's not dwell on this matter anymore and eat."
"Okay." Lin Youjuan checked the time before putting down her phone. It was not even 7:30.
She was a person who was easily entangled. Although Meng Chuyuan's words could comfort her, after thinking about it, Lin Youjuan decided to tell Lu Qingye.
So, she sent Lu Qingye her location and left a text message: [Son, Xiao Meng said the closing banquet will end around nine o'clock. If you're still in time after you're done, come over. If you can't make it, forget it. Just ignore what I said!]
About ten minutes into the dinner, a guest suddenly arrived.
Qi Detective: "Family, I'm back!"
"Welcome, welcome..." When they saw Qi Zhen appear, everyone started applauding.
The moment Qi Yan saw Qi Zhen walk in, she was stunned, her eyes filled with shock. She had never expected Qi Zhen to come back.
Director Luo: "Welcome back, Brother Qizhen! Now, please let Brother Qizhen say a few words to everyone."
"Hello everyone, I'm Qi Zhen. I want to tell you that I'm not an encore guest today, but a member of Qi Yan's family and friends! That's all I have to say, thank you!"
Qi Yan: “…”
Originally, netizens thought that Qi Yan was the loneliest person in the whole venue, but they didn’t expect that Qi Zhen would come back, and his identity had changed.
【Ahhhh my Qi Detective is back again! 】
[Wow, brother Qi Detective is late but he’s here. I love him so much.]
[I don't know why, but my eyes got a little warm when I saw this. I wonder if Qi Yan was touched, or if she had the same reaction as me...]
[This is considered a surprise for tonight, woooooo~]
Qi Zhen greeted the guests at each table before finally sitting down next to Qi Yan.
He gently called Qi Yan "sister".
Qi Yan glanced at Qi Zhen, really not understanding his actions, and said coldly: "What are you doing here? It's really unnecessary."
Faced with Qi Yan's cold words, Qi Zhen neither refuted nor explained.
The invitation letter sent by the program team is with Qin Wanyu. She was originally supposed to come tonight, but when she was about to leave, she was seen by Qi Zhen. He then learned that family members were invited to attend the closing banquet.
Because Qin Wanyu was pregnant, Qi Zhen was worried about letting her go out alone, so he persuaded his mother to go back and came here himself.
