Qin Sheng and Qin Shi'an stayed in Qin Zheng's office for half an afternoon. It wasn't until almost evening when Jiang Xiaoyu called Qin Sheng's phone. Only then did the two say goodbye to Qin Zheng and leave.
He was still somewhat dazed when Gu Yueming arrived.
Gu Yueming looked at Qin Zheng, who was sitting in his office chair in a daze, raised her hand and waved it in front of him, and then he grabbed her hand.
Qin Zheng was speechless: "I was just spacing out, I'm not blind."
"Oh." Gu Yueming touched her nose and asked curiously, "So why are you spacing out?"
Qin Zheng was even more speechless: "Because of my daughter."
Gu Yueming: "Huh?!"
Qin Zheng said sadly, "My daughter is too amazing. I always feel like I'm going to rely on her to support me even though I'm not old yet."
She wondered what it was about.
Gu Yueming waved her hand dismissively: "We're family, why bother being so calculating?"
Qin Zheng was surprised: "When did you become so open-minded?"
Gu Yueming chuckled: "Isn't it because I already felt there was no hope, so I just gave up and tried to make things worse?"
She puffed out her chest and said, "Anyway, I gave birth to this daughter, so I'll just stick with her, okay?"
Qin Zheng: ...Fine, you can call the shots if you're shameless.
He hasn't adjusted yet and needs time to adjust.
Qin Zheng sighed sadly again.
Qin Sheng had already arrived at Xichong Pavilion.
That's right, Tiandu also has a Xichongge, and it's the flagship store. In terms of scale and decoration, it's far superior to the Xichongge in Ancheng.
Because it was a spur-of-the-moment decision and just a welcome banquet, the Jiang family didn't invite many people.
There were only about twenty people.
Following the old man's instructions, Jiang Ruoyu booked two private rooms at Xichong Pavilion, one for Jiang Xiaoyu and her friends, and the other for the Fu family.
Actually, Grandpa Fu originally planned to put the Fu family in a private room, but early in the morning he saw Qin Sheng's name on the list of friends that Jiang Xiaoyu had given him.
After being speechless and surprised, they simply put the two groups together.
Perfect, I can take care of both ends.
The other private room was prepared for Jiang Ruoyu.
The guests included twelve people: young masters and ladies from families with long-standing friendships with the Jiang family, and Jiang Ruoyu's friends in the entertainment industry.
They were all around the same age as Jiang Ruoyu; some of them, Grandpa Jiang knew, and some he didn't.
As an elder, Grandpa Jiang didn't need any special hospitality; he simply left it to Jiang Ruoyu to take care of.
Grandpa Jiang's attention was focused on the Fu family and his eldest daughter.
At 6 p.m., Qin Sheng and Qin Shi'an arrived at Xichong Pavilion and took a photo with Jiang Xiaoyu and her family of three who came from the other side.
Jiang Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and immediately spread her arms and rushed towards Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng... Qin Sheng barely managed to control the urge to kick the person away, and instead pulled Qin Shi'an next to her, bringing him in front of her.
Jiang Xiaoyu couldn't brake in time and crashed headfirst into Qin Shi'an's chest.
Qin Shi'an: "..."
Jiang Xiaoyu: "..."
Jiang Xiaoyu's parents: "!!!"
They immediately stepped forward, each supporting one of their daughters on either side, and began to look Qin Shi'an up and down.
Shapur remained silent with a sullen face, but Jiang Ruoya's eyes lit up when she saw Qin Shi'an's appearance clearly.
He turned to praise his own daughter: "You have good taste."
Jiang Xiaoyu: ...What is all this nonsense?!
Jiang Xiaoyu pursed her lips, reached out and pulled Qin Sheng out from behind Qin Shi'an, introducing her as, "This is Qin Sheng, whom I told you about, my god-sister!"
Jiang Ruoya's gaze brightened even more, like two searchlights, making Qin Sheng want to step back.
However, before she could make a move, Jiang Ruoya had already grabbed her hand, touching it while saying with a loving expression, "Sheng Sheng, I've heard my Xiaoyuer mention you. Since you're Xiaoyuer's god-sister, you should call me godmother."
"Come on, call me Mom."
Qin Sheng: "..."
So, genetics really is very important.
This overly familiar manner is exactly like Jiang Xiaoyu's.
Qin Shi'an never expected that he would encounter someone trying to steal his little sister as soon as he arrived.
Although they are Jiang Xiaoyu's parents, her younger sister would never give in.
So he stepped forward and quietly pulled Qin Sheng to his side before calling out, "Aunt Jiang, Uncle Jiang."
Uncle Jiang, Shapur: "???"
Has he been away from China for too long? It seems that in China, husbands now take their wives' surnames.
Qin Shi'an didn't notice the small flaw in his address and continued with a simple self-introduction.
Before leaving, he nodded to the three men and then looked at Qin Sheng: "Grandpa Fu and Young Master Fu have arrived. Let's go in first."
Qin Sheng said "Oh" and let Qin Shi'an push her inside.
Jiang Ruoya stared blankly: "They..."
Jiang Xiaoyu was speechless at her talkative mother.
Hearing this, he glanced at her with annoyance and said, "Brother and sister!"
He paused, then added, "Best of the blood."
Jiang Ruoya: "!!!"
So she was just stealing someone else's boyfriend in front of their family?
Jiang Ruoya looked embarrassed.
He could only awkwardly touch his nose and follow.
They were the last group to arrive.
Inside the private room, Old Master Fu, Fu Jingheng, and Fu Jingyuan were already seated.
Yes, there's also Yin Ze, who was invited as Jiang Xiaoyu's friend.
Qin Sheng was called to the seat that Old Master Fu had reserved for her. He was on her left, and Fu Jingheng was on her right... It was originally supposed to be Fu Jingheng.
But his second uncle beat him to it.
Qin Shi'an plopped down in the seat to Qin Sheng's right.
Fu Jingheng: "..."
How could they steal this?
Despite her thoughts, she could only obediently walk around to the other side and sit down on the other side of Fu Jingyuan.
He looked at Qin Sheng across the table.
Fu Jingheng: ...Damn it!
Qin Sheng didn't notice him for the moment; she was whispering to Old Master Fu beside her.
It had been a full six months since they last met. Old Master Fu carefully examined Qin Sheng, and after a long while, he nodded in satisfaction: "You've grown a bit taller and a bit fatter. You've taken good care of yourself."
Qin Sheng: "!!!"
That's a lie, she doesn't even weigh 90 pounds, how could she be fat?
Qin Sheng kept smiling.
As the old man continued to show concern, Qin Sheng's smile gradually froze.
Just then, there was a knock on the door of the private room. She immediately turned her head to look, and then the smile on her face completely vanished.
The three who came were Jiang Ruojin, Jiang Ruoyu, and Jiang Haoming.
Qin Sheng didn't want to see them at all, but when she looked up and saw the three of them with faces that were even more unwilling than hers, she felt strangely at peace.
Qin Sheng withdrew her gaze.
The three members of the Jiang family, who were just waiting for her to make a few sarcastic remarks so they could retort or argue back, were speechless.
Why don't they play by the rules?
If the mountain won't come to them, then they'll have to go to the mountain. The three of them exchanged a glance, and then reluctantly moved to Qin Sheng's side.
"Miss Qin..."
