Chapter 117

Qin Xiang paused while holding the door handle, and the polite smile on her face fell, "Principal Wen, this is my personal matter, I don't think I need to report it to you, right?"

Wen Yanan saw her unhappiness and realized that she was rude today, but she only had one son, and she always hoped that he would be well.

She thought for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't say the

right thing. I hope you can understand the feelings of a mother." Wen Yanan's eyes turned red when she said this. "He called several times, but he was not in a good mood. I was worried about him. But he has never experienced any setbacks since he grew up. I am really worried."

Qin Xiang said lightly, "Principal Wen, I can understand your motherly love, but this does not mean that you can interfere in my private affairs for the sake of your son. Let's not say that Jie Zong and I are just friends. Even if we are lovers, you can't control me. Who I make friends with is none of your business. I admire Jie Zong's talent, but that's just admiration. If he is so depressed because of such a small thing, because of my rejection, Then I will be very disappointed. "

Facing Wen Yanan's surprised eyes, Qin Xiang said, "I will take the things you asked me to take, don't worry."

Wen Yanan looked at Qin Xiang and knew that she was a strong woman. At this moment, she suddenly felt that her son and Qin Xiang were not suitable.

Jie Zong was still too young and not mature enough, and Qin Xiang was no longer a little girl in love. Qin Xiang would not stand there and wait for Jie Zong to grow up slowly.

After walking a long way, Wen Yanan looked back and saw Qin Xiang and the big boss of Gangcheng standing and talking. The man was gentle and handsome, and the woman was beautiful and elegant. The two of them looked very well matched standing together.

She shouldn't have come today.

"You don't seem very happy."

Meng Huaiqing still had his hand on the car door, looking at Qin Xiang and said, "Your expression says you're unhappy."

Qin Xiang raised her eyebrows, "Your eyes are sharp." She laughed and said, "The one just now was Jie Zong's mother."

"Oh?" Meng Huaiqing was curious, "She came here to question you?"

Qin Xiang: "Question me what?"

"For example..." Meng Huaiqing pondered for a moment, "For example, questioning why you rejected her son. After all, Jie Zong is so outstanding. Although he is not the top scorer in science, he is also a proud child of heaven, with a good family background, handsome appearance, and a bright future. How could you reject her son?"

"You have so many questions." Qin Xiang smiled helplessly, "But how do you know I refuse to understand?"

Meng Huaiqing smiled, with a hint of pride on his face, "Maybe because I'm smarter?"

Qin Xiang was amused, "Then smart Mr. Meng, may I ask if you are here to celebrate the festival with Mr. Ge?"

"Celebrate the festival?" Meng Huaiqing paused, as if he didn't know, "What festival?"

Qin Xiang said, "Mid-Autumn Festival."

She waved her hand, "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, I'll be busy first."

She entered the store, Meng Huaiqing thought for a while, bent down and asked Miao Sheng, "Is today Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Miao Sheng, who had been eavesdropping but pretending to be dumb, grinned, "Yes, Mid-Autumn Festival, boss, I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and make a fortune every day."

Then he waited for Meng Huaiqing to say that it was a festival and give a big red envelope or something.

As a result, Meng Huaiqing narrowed his eyes, "You didn't even remind me in advance on such an important day, Miao Sheng, one third of this month's bonus will be deducted."

Miao Sheng was struck by lightning, "Boss, don't do this, I have prepared a back room for you, Mr. Ge, and the old lady has also prepared gifts, you are just killing the donkey."

"Then you are worse than a donkey." Meng Huaiqing looked at him and said, "Do you want to recover the loss?"

Miao Sheng nodded hurriedly, "Yes."

"Give you a chance to atone." Meng Huaiqing simply got into the car again, "Take me to prepare Mid-Autumn Festival gifts. I heard that sons-in-law have to give gifts during Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year."

Miao Sheng didn't dare to say anything, drove out for a distance and said, "Boss, the department store is next to it."

——On

the other side, Qin Xiang entered the store and picked clothes for Zhao Qian, who was dawdling, to try on. After trying them on, Zhao Qian asked, "Do they look good?"

Qin Xiang saw her looking at the door and couldn't help laughing, "Who are you looking for?"

"No one." Zhao Qian blushed and lowered her head to fiddle with her clothes, "I'm just looking around."

As she was talking, Qin Yang pushed the door open and Zhao Qian's eyes lit up.

Qin Xiang looked at Zhao Qian, then at the somewhat uncomfortable Third Brother, and she knew something, so she deliberately said, "I'm going upstairs to rest for a while, you guys help keep an eye on it."

She went up the stairs and heard Qin Yang say, "Why are you here?"

Zhao Qian was a little shy, "Aunt Wen said she wanted to see Qin Xiang for something and asked me to lead the way, so I led her here, but she has already gone back."

Qin Xiang couldn't help laughing and went upstairs.

At noon, Qin Yang came up to eat. Qin Yang joked, "Is Zhao Qian gone?"

Qin Yang responded and sat down in front of her, "Why is Jie Zong's mother here?"

"Let me bring something to Jie Zong." Qin Xiang didn't want to say more, but thinking of her third brother's previous attitude, she said, "Third brother, I don't have any feelings for Jie Zong, and I won't fall in love with him, so don't try to bring him and me together in the future."

Qin Yang frowned and looked next door, "Is it because of Mr. Meng?"

Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Why do you think so too? Mr. Meng and I are innocent, we are just ordinary friends. Maybe he is interested in me, and I don't rule out the possibility that I will like him in the future, but for now, we are just friends. But Jie Zong is different. If I say it's impossible, it's impossible. I have made it clear to him when I was in school, so you should avoid him in the future."

"Is Jie Zong not good?"

Qin Yang knew his sister was capable, but he was really worried about her relationship.

Qin Xiang said objectively and fairly, "Jie Zong is good, but not suitable for me."

"I think she is quite suitable." Qin Yang analyzed, "She has good character, looks good, likes you, and her parents are intellectuals. They seem to like you. What is wrong with her?"

Qin Xiang was helpless, "I don't like naive boys. I am not looking for a son when I am looking for a partner. I don't want to raise a son and coax him every day."

Qin Yang frowned, "But he will listen to you and treat you as a treasure in his palm."

"I don't need him to listen to me." Qin Xiang had a headache. She found that her third brother was sometimes very stubborn and would not listen to her. Once he made up his mind, he would stick to it. She also knew why her third brother was not optimistic about Meng Huaiqing. It was not because he had any opinion about this man, but because he was worried that if she got married one day, she would not be able to play with the wealthy families in Hong Kong, and if something happened, her third brother would not be able to help her.

She looked at Qin Yang and explained seriously, "Third brother, Xiaofeng likes you very much too, and she will listen to you, so can you accept her?"

Qin Yang opened his mouth and frowned to retort, "That's not the same."

"The same." Qin Xiang said, "What we need is a relationship, a relationship where we can support and depend on each other, not someone who listens to me in everything and who puts all eyes on us. That would make me feel suffocated. If I need to be obedient, I'll just find an employee. An employee will listen to me enough and won't make me upset. Matters of the heart cannot be forced, just like I won't force you and Miao Xiaofeng. Why can't you not force me? If things go wrong, we may not even be friends after reconciliation in the future." After

she finished speaking, she looked at her third brother's shocked expression and knew how strong her tone was.

"Third brother, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I am not a child. I have my own plans for my future. Even if I have a boyfriend one day, I will not stop where I am now. I will not yield to anyone, nor will I embarrass myself for any man. Even if I really get together with Meng Huaiqing one day, it is because I think it is suitable, but I will not get married."

Qin Yang was surprised, "Can he accept your idea?"

Qin Xiang laughed, "Third brother, it is too early to talk about this now. I don't have time to fall in love and waste time."

Qin Yang opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.

His sister was right, feelings cannot be forced. Others cannot force him to like Miao Xiaofeng, and he cannot force Qin Xiang to like Jie Zong.

"I know."

Qin Xiang sighed as he watched his third brother go down dejectedly.

Soon he was happy again, because Nian Nian was back, and because it was Mid-Autumn Festival, even the nursery was closed.

Qin Xiang was a good boss, he personally gave red envelopes to Li Hongxia and He Liping, and went to the university town to give red envelopes to everyone, and then closed the store for the holiday.

This was the first time the store had a holiday since it opened, Tan Xiu said happily, "Boss, happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

Pulling down the roller shutter, Qin Yang said, "You are right, I will not care about your emotional affairs in the future."

Qin Xiang smiled, "No, I will need your help to find a partner in the future."

Qin Yang showed a smile that was uglier than crying.

When the Chinese New Year just passed, his sister still needed his protection, but now his sister has grown up and no longer needs his protection.

When the brother and sister returned to the square, they saw Grandpa Ge and Meng Huaiqing sitting at the door. Grandpa Ge shouted, "You are on vacation too."

Qin Xiang nodded, "Yes, it's Mid-Autumn Festival after all, and the employees can go home to reunite with their families."

Grandpa Ge nodded, "Yeah, no matter how much money you make, it's the right thing to do to reunite with your family."

"Yes." Qin Xiang asked politely, "Brother, are we going to eat at home or in a hotel tonight?"

After she asked, she saw Meng Huaiqing sitting there smiling at her.

Qin Xiang smiled back. She had to say that such a good-looking person was pleasing to the eye wherever he sat. Meng Huaiqing was tall, wearing a decent casual suit. Even sitting on the moccasin was eye-catching. With no backrest, most people would hunch their backs like Mr. Ge when sitting on it, but not Meng Huaiqing. His back was straight.

"Ah, I would like to go to the restaurant and cook a couple of dishes and have a couple of drinks, but I can't." Grandpa Ge glanced at his nephew who was sitting obediently beside him with disdain, "Some people's stomachs are just like that glass bottle. They will get sick if they eat something bad. This problem can't be solved. We, the old men, can only make a couple of dishes together to deal with it. It's not like you have several brothers and sisters in your family. Some of them can cook, some can marinate meat, and there is a little kid to make you happy."

"Alas, this person, same person but different fate, can't be compared. So pitiful."

The old man's output made Qin Xiang overjoyed, and the man next to him smiled helplessly, "Don't listen to your uncle's nonsense..."

Grandpa Ge next to him was unhappy, "Why did I talk nonsense, how about we go out to eat tonight and have a bottle of wine?"

Meng Huaiqing didn't say anything.

Qin Xiang looked at the two grandfathers singing the same tune, making fun of themselves and pretending to be pitiful, a little helpless, blurted out, "How about you two come to my house and spend the holiday together?"

She regretted it after she said it. The third brother looked at Meng Huaiqing and had some opinions, and it was estimated that he would be angry again.

Thinking that the third brother was following her, Qin Xiang looked at Qin Yang, but saw Qin Yang went into the store with a normal expression.

Qin Xiang opened her mouth, but Meng Huaiqing said sympathetically, "Don't bother, my uncle and I can just cook a couple of dishes at home."

Master Ge began to glare at her, "Can you cook?"

Meng Huaiqing smiled helplessly, "No."

"You're the eldest master, you can't do anything for free." Master Ge said sarcastically, "Why, you're so young and you want me to cook for you and support you? How can you be so shameless."

Meng Huaiqing was a little embarrassed, "Uncle... can you let Miao Sheng..."

"Miao Sheng can cook?" Qin Xiang looked over suspiciously, remembering the time when Miao Sheng came to beg for food late at night.

Meng Huaiqing shook his head quickly, "No."

Miao Sheng, who had received the boss's meaning, said with a bitter face, "How can I cook? Boss, we can't go back to reunite with our families during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Why don't you give Xiao Liu and me a holiday?"

Meng Huaiqing was a considerate boss and immediately gave the driver and assistant a holiday. As for the bodyguards, there was no such thing as a holiday. With a high salary, they could only wait until they returned to the port city to have a chance to change shifts.

Master Ge said, "Okay, since we can't go to someone's house to eat empty-handed, you can do it."

After that, Master Ge put his hands behind his back and followed Qin Yang in.

Qin Yang seemed very comfortable, as if this had happened many times before.

Mi Hongjun came over and whispered, "Master Ge often drinks with the third brother."

Qin Xiang understood, "Okay, let's go back to the house and clean up."

Mi Hongjun was unhappy, "Are you really going to let the boss come to our house for dinner?"

Qin Xiang was puzzled, "Is it not possible?"

"Not really." Mi Hongjun felt a little awkward, he just felt that Meng Huaiqing had some ill intentions.

Qin Xiang nodded, "Then let's do this, there are so many people and it's lively, Nian Nian is here, you go up and play with her."

Mi Hongjun muttered, "I'm not a child."

Qin Xiang said perfunctorily, "Okay, you are a man, all right, go and play with Nian Nian."

Just after he finished speaking, he saw Hao Jingjing riding a bicycle over, Mi Hongjun rushed into the store as fast as a rat bitten by the tail.

Hao Jingjing got off the bicycle and looked around, "Where is Mi Hongjun? Didn't I see him just now?"

As he said that, he handed the mooncake in his hand to Qin Xiang, and the man had already chased after him in.

Qin Xiang: "???"

"It seems that this store is very popular."

Qin Xiang turned her head to face Meng Huaiqing's smiling face. Suddenly, she felt that today's scene was discussed by Meng Huaiqing and Mr. Ge. She immediately looked unfriendly, "I think it's good for Mr. Meng to celebrate the festival by himself."

Meng Huaiqing was stunned, "Then I'll go buy some things for the festival."

Meng Huaiqing almost didn't need to move. Miao Sheng, the driver who just got a vacation, had already very considerately brought all kinds of vegetables and meat from the trunk. "Boss, I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival." Meng Huaiqing

was very satisfied with Miao Sheng's performance and gave him a red envelope on the spot, "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

It was quite thick, much thicker than Qin Xiang's.

Just pretend that you can't see it, and it won't be embarrassing if you can't see it.

Qin Xiang said meaningfully, "I didn't expect that Mr. Meng had prepared so much, so much, that we only need to find a chef to come and help us get it done."

"That's different." Meng Huaiqing said, "The food will only be lively if our own people cook it."

Seeing that Qin Xiang was about to lose his temper, Meng Huaiqing hurriedly said, "Can I help him?"

He looked pitiful.

But Qin Xiang had already understood that this man was a black-hearted man, the kind of black-bellied man as rumored, and he would sell himself miserably.

But now that Master Ge had gone in, she had no choice but to agree.

Just as she was about to say something, the big sister who was in charge of the public phone suddenly called her, "Qin Xiang, phone."

Qin Xiang was surprised who called her at this time, and knew that she was back in the provincial capital.

Turning around and seeing Meng Huaiqing standing there without moving, Qin Xiang said with a half-smile, "It's getting late, and I have to cook later."

Meng Huaiqing nodded, "Okay, I'll go back and prepare."

Qin Xiang went to answer the phone. Meng Huaiqing stood there thoughtfully, with the same doubts in his heart.

As expected, the worry that arose at the airport a few days ago resurfaced.

Is it related to the person who called Qin Xiang?

Who is the person who called?

Not to mention Meng Huaiqing's curiosity, Qin Xiang is also curious.
