When Qin Yao saw Chong Yu, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She subconsciously looked behind him, but did not see the figure she had imagined. She looked at Chong Yu with some disappointment.
"Where is your uncle?"
Chongyu scratched his head, somewhat puzzled. "Huh? Didn't I tell you he wasn't coming today? Why are you asking me again?"
Chongyu was straightforward and said whatever came to mind, completely oblivious to the snickering expressions of the wealthy young men around him. Qin Yao, noticing the gazes around her, lost face.
I didn't know what to say, and my face was burning again, so I quickly changed the subject.
"Brother Chongyu, what about the General Manager Qi you mentioned?" She regretted asking the question as soon as it left her mouth.
A bad feeling rose in her heart. She knew everyone in the club, except for Qi Jiu, who seemed to have that surname... Could it be?
"Qi Jiu! Isn't she right in front of you?"
Qin Yao: "!!"
Chong Yu pointed to Qi Jiu beside him, grinning with his big white teeth, "President Qi, shall we go?"
"Okay." Qi Jiu nodded, took Chen Sisi's wrist, and left the club.
“Brother Chongyu! What about me? What about me!” Chongyu looked at Lu Zhe and smiled. “You stay here and behave yourself. Your uncle didn’t say you could go over there.”
The once noisy clubhouse fell silent the moment Chongyu entered. Even after Qijiu and the others left, they remained silent, staring wide-eyed at Qin Yao's stiff face.
"Yaoyao?"
"Huh? I'm fine." Qin Yao subconsciously touched her hair, looked at the empty entrance of the club, and forced a smile.
"Let's continue!"
Although the birthday party continued, the atmosphere inside the club had changed; they had all witnessed what had just happened.
Whispers followed, "What's the background of the Shen family's adopted daughter? The young master of the Chong family came to see her personally, and even called her... President Qi?"
Is the adopted daughter of the Shen family really as despicable as they imagine?
Regardless, after today's birthday party, everyone has come to a clearer understanding: whether the Qi family values the Qin family or not is unknown, but it is likely related to this adopted daughter of the Shen family.
On the other side, Shen Sisi looked at Chongyu, who had opened the car door for them in advance, and was somewhat flattered. She said "thank you" countless times before daring to get into the car.
Where are we going?
She asked softly, pondering. At first, she thought Qiqi was saying this to embarrass Qin Yao, but she found that what Qiqi said was true.
She knew that the young master of the Chong family had a long-standing friendship with the Qi family.
"Go find your brother, didn't he tell you?"
Chongyu, in the driver's seat, didn't turn around, but Chen Sisi seemed a little confused. "Brother?"
"Qi Silin," Qi Jiu kindly explained for her, then looked up at Chong Yu through the rearview mirror, "Doesn't he have a collaboration to discuss?"
"Oh, that one. I didn't like it and rejected it outright."
Qi Jiu nodded and didn't say anything more.
After an unknown amount of time, the car stopped. Qi Jiu, who had just gotten off the car, saw a tall, aloof figure not far away.
He was holding something between his fingers, and mist swirled around him.
Seemingly noticing Qi Jiu, he glanced in her direction, then stubbed out his cigarette, threw it in the trash can, and strode towards her.
"The discussion about cooperation has progressed to the racetrack?"
The surrounding area was bustling with noise, and the roar of car engines echoed incessantly. Such a noisy scene did not seem like a good place to discuss cooperation.
Qi Silin smiled, looking at Qi Jiu, the annoyance in his eyes lessening. "Let's see if there are any outstanding players lately. Haven't you eaten yet? Go eat first."
He anticipated that Qin Yao would cause such a commotion, which is why he disregarded her feelings and had Chong Yu bring the two of them out.
He also told those rich kids about his attitude towards the Qin family.
Logically, racetracks should be built in some remote area, but there's a rather upscale-looking restaurant nearby.
Looking at the restaurant's decor, Qi Jiu inexplicably thought of the people around her.
"Do you own this restaurant?"
The dark-colored main body and the meticulous decoration create an atmosphere that is both grand and mysterious. The sound insulation is also quite good. For some reason, it reminded me of Qi Silin.
"Um."
The man nodded, and a hint of satisfaction appeared in his eyes as he listened to the roar of the small engine nearby.
Qi Jiu noticed all of these subtle changes.
After dinner, Qi Silin led Qi Jiu and the others to the front row of the racetrack. As the race cars passed by, they whistled through the air, exuding a sense of freedom and exhilaration. All around them were shouts of encouragement for the racers.
Watching them drive around and around, a hint of joy flashed in Qi Jiu's eyes. She hadn't experienced this kind of freedom, like the wind, in a long time.
"Uncle! You're here too!"
He was enjoying the race when Qin Yao's voice rang out behind him. Lost in thought about the race, he snapped out of his reverie, his expression turning somewhat grim.
Why is this guy so persistent? Was he a plague god in his past life?
Qin Yao acted as if she didn't see Qi Jiu and the others, and headed straight for Qi Silin.
"Uncle!" Qin Yao called out again when she saw Qi Silin ignoring her, and even thought of pushing Qi Jiu away from him.
But this time, Qi Silin couldn't hold back either. His gaze was still on the racetrack, and his words were extremely harsh, "Shut up! Is this your spot? Go back!"
With so many wealthy young people from City A watching from the side, Qin Yao felt a little embarrassed and could only give an awkward smile before leaving.
Qi Jiu, however, watched Qin Yao's retreating figure with a rather intriguing expression. Looking at Qi Silin's refined profile, she slowly asked, "Miss Qin, does she like you?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Silin paused, turned to look at Qi Jiu with a helpless expression.
"Stop joking. Helping the Qin family is an instruction from my elders. I'm not familiar with the Qin family."
With that, the girl's face showed understanding, and even a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
Although Qi Silin isn't old, he's probably 22 or 23. Such a large age gap makes them seem like a good match, it's a pity they're not a good couple.
"Congratulations to number 4 for winning the championship!" The outcome was decided quickly.
Amid cheers from the crowd, number 4, holding the trophy, skipped and hopped away.
Today's race is over, and many people in the stands have left. However, Qi Silin stared at the track in front of him and the race cars that had not yet been taken down, remaining motionless for a long time.
He seemed to be lost in thought...?
Qi Jiu glanced at Qi Silin, then at the race cars on the track, and, unusually, became interested. She reached out and nudged the man's arm.
"Shall we have a game?"
The girl laughed wildly, and her work clothes and unsteady posture gave her a bandit-like air.
