"Thank goodness, thank goodness you were here,"
Simple, quickly step back. She can't advise or handle this kind of situation.
Qin Qinghuai rubbed his temples. Although he sympathized with his brother, seeing a man in his forties with tears streaming down his face was truly unbearable to watch.
"Alright, alright, stop this nonsense. Your boss will be back soon. Don't embarrass me."
Before Qin Qingjiang could figure out what this had to do with him, he heard the office door open. He rubbed his eyes hastily and heard a gentle voice, seemingly with a faint smile.
"Oh, you're all here? Hey, you brat, how did you manage to come?"
Clearly, the second half of the sentence contained a hint of surprise.
He simply stood up, smiling, and stepped forward.
"To avoid people saying I'm heartless, I come to see you whenever I have the chance."
Xi Ping'an's smile deepened.
"Oh my, what a surprise! You're playing these tricks on me? Weren't you here to pick someone up and just stopped by to see me?"
Qin Qingjiang watched as his usually formidable sister-in-law acted very naturally, even seemingly with a touch of coquetry as she raised her chin.
"Never mind that. I even brought you some delicious food. If you don't like it, I'm leaving."
"That won't do,"
This county party secretary seems to have a bit of a childlike quality.
"How can you go back on your word after bringing me all that stuff? I've been starving, so bring me this good stuff so I can have a taste. You heartless little thing, you didn't even bother to come see me sooner. Now that we're married, you don't care about me anymore?"
Qin Qingjiang's eyes widened. Even though he thought he had seen a lot, this was still a bit hard to accept. His third brother, huh? And he even had a smile on his face?
"You can't blame me for that, I'm very busy right now, okay?"
Besides, who told you to be single?
Seeing that the topic had circled back to pressuring people to get married, Xi Ping'an quickly called a halt.
"Stop, stop, you're going overboard. Is this something you should be concerned about?"
Hurry up, where's your man? Introduce him to me!
He simply pursed his lips, starting to avoid the topic as soon as it came up, just like Cheng Chao, but he still introduced the people to each other in a serious manner.
As the elder of the bride's family, he naturally had to be picky about Qin Qinghuai, his son-in-law, but he really couldn't find any faults. He was of good character and had a good background. The main thing was that his own daughter had taken a liking to him and could handle him, so he didn't say anything.
However, when Xi Ping'an looked at Qin Qingjiang, he was stunned for a few seconds, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
"I never imagined I'd have to work with the Qin family one day,"
"You know Big Brother?"
Qin Qingjiang had just recovered from his third brother's address of "little uncle" when he heard this, and he was stunned.
"Secretary Xi, have we met before?"
