Chapter 258: Uncomfortable Birthday Celebration
"It's okay. After saying hello, let's go back and change our clothes."
After Qin Zhuoran finished speaking, he took Meng Yitong's hand and continued walking forward.
"There are clothes here too?" Meng Yitong continued unwillingly.
"The clothes here are all old styles. I don't want to wear them anymore."
Hearing this, Meng Yitong curled her lips speechlessly and said, "Do you still have new and old styles of clothes? Aren't they all the same style?"
As they were talking, they arrived at the hall.
When the two walked into the hall, they found Qin's father sitting on the sofa in the hall.
I don’t know if he knew Qin Zhuoran was coming and was waiting here on purpose, or if it was just a coincidence.
When Father Qin saw Qin Zhuoran, he immediately showed a friendly expression and said, "Why are you here so early? I thought you would come after get off work!"
However, the smile on Qin's father's face froze immediately after hearing Qin Zhuoran's next words.
"Well, I have something to do tonight, so I'll come over first."
Father Qin pulled the corners of his mouth and asked with a stiff smile: "What can happen tonight?"
Although Qin's father himself did not take this birthday party seriously, there is a big difference between not taking it seriously himself and not taking it seriously for others.
"For a cooperation negotiation, I need to go to Country C. I will take a flight tonight."
After Qin Zhuoran finished speaking, he looked natural and sat down on the sofa opposite with Qin Xiuzhe in his arms.
Father Qin looked at Qin Zhuoran's calm appearance and couldn't tell whether he really had something to do or he came here specially to help Meng Yitong.
Father Qin glanced at Meng Yitong suspiciously, and seeing that she also looked surprised, he could only suppress his doubts.
Qin Zhuoran didn't care about the change in his father's eyes. He turned around and told Butler Zhou, "Uncle Zhou, have someone bring the gift I prepared in the car."
Upon hearing this, Butler Zhou immediately responded and walked out.
Seeing this, Father Qin had no choice but to ask, "Does this cooperation require you to go there in person?"
Because of his excessive trust in Qin Zhuoran, Qin's father no longer cares about the affairs of the Qin Group.
Therefore, Qin's father was not very clear about Qin Zhuoran's work arrangements.
"Yes! Many decisions need to be made on the spot, and I am undoubtedly the best in the past."
When Father Qin heard this, a deep disappointment appeared on his face. Seeing this, Mrs. Qin smiled and said, "Zhuoran is just too busy on weekdays and has no time to accompany the master."
"I think you've put too much pressure on Zhuoran. It's good to find someone to share the burden sometimes. This way, Zhuoran can spend more time with you and Xiuzhe. Maybe he'll give you another big fat boy next year!"
After Mrs. Qin finished speaking, she couldn't stop laughing.
Upon hearing this, Qin's father also looked at Qin Zhuoran and Meng Yitong.
Although Meng Yitong did have plans to have a second child today, she didn't want to be forced into it, so she agreed to it.
Meng Yitong ignored her and just lowered her head to play with her nails.
Just as Father Qin was about to ask for their opinions, he heard Qin Zhuoran say, "No need. We plan to spend all our energy on educating Xiuzhe in the future."
Qin Zhuoran said this and pinched Qin Xiuzhe's cheek.
Qin Xiuzhe, who seemed to understand what he heard, immediately raised his head and gave Qin Zhuoran a big smile.
Qin Zhuoran, who had originally had a calm expression, couldn't help but laugh when he saw Qin Xiuzhe's brilliant smile.
Father Qin looked at the scene of loving father and filial son across from him, and for a moment he was unsure whether Qin Zhuoran's words were deliberately directed at his own words, or whether he really meant it from the bottom of his heart.
If he only had Zhuoran as his son, he would definitely be anxious after hearing what Zhuoran said.
But now Chengze and his wife have given him a pair of twin grandchildren, and Qin's father's heart, which was anxious to have grandchildren, has finally settled down.
Besides, they are still young and their children are still young, so Qin's father can just let nature take its course at this stage.
While they were talking, Butler Zhou came over quickly, holding a gift.
After Butler Zhou placed the gift box on the coffee table, he immediately bowed and left.
Qin Zhuoran stood up and took a step forward, opened the wooden gift box, and said, "Happy 64th birthday, Dad. This is the birthday gift that Yi Tong and I prepared for you. I hope you will have this day every year."
Seeing this, Meng Yitong immediately pulled Qin Xiuzhe aside and said, "We also wish Dad good fortune and a long life. Xiuzhe, what do you want to say to Grandpa?"
"I wish Grandpa always smiles and may the purple air come from the east..."
In response to Qin Xiuzhe's childish birthday wishes, Qin's father finally smiled.
After laughing, Qin's father also forced himself to cheer up and walked forward to look at the gift in the box.
As soon as he stood up, Qin's father was shocked by the gift in the box.
"Is this the Nine Dragons Supreme Inkstone?"
Father Qin took the inkstone from Qin Zhuoran with an expression of disbelief, and began to examine it carefully.
Qin's father, who loves collecting inkstones, had heard of the Nine Dragon Supreme Inkstone a long time ago. He had even commissioned various major auction houses to help keep an eye out for this inkstone.
But so many years have passed, and no news has been heard about this inkstone. However, today, this inkstone that he had always dreamed of suddenly appeared in front of him.
Father Qin had a feeling that it was unreal.
"As long as you like."
Qin Zhuoran said this and took out the brush and ancient ink from the box.
Qin Zhuoran purchased all these things from a collector who was a calligraphy enthusiast.
Although they are equally valuable, their prices pale in comparison to the Nine Dragon Supreme Inkstone.
After taking a quick glance at the brush and ancient ink, Qin's father turned his attention back to the inkstone in his hand.
Mrs. Qin looked at Father Qin's focused expression and couldn't help but grind her back teeth.
Although she didn't know the value of the inkstone Qin Zhuoran took out, she could guess from Qin's father's obsessed look that this inkstone must be extremely precious and rare.
Compared with this inkstone, how can those inkstones she collected from others be considered decent?
Just when Mrs. Qin was secretly hating Qin Zhuoran in her heart, Qin Zhuoran suddenly said to Qin's father: "Dad, my flight is in the afternoon, so I'm in a hurry. I'll take Yi Yi and Xiu Zhe back first."
"Ah? Why are you in such a hurry?" Qin's father put away the inkstone in his hand with a look of realization.
"I need to change my clothes when I get home."
As Qin Zhuoran spoke, he straightened the places on his clothes that had been touched by Xiuzhe's dirty hands.
"Then Xiuzhe and Yitong..."
Before Qin's father could finish his words, Qin Zhuoran interrupted him and said, "I'm going abroad for a long time this time, and I'm not too sure about leaving them at home, so I just let them go with me."
"Then we will go back first. Have a good birthday today."
As Qin Zhuoran spoke, he hugged Meng Yitong with one hand and Qin Xiuzhe with the other, and walked out the door.
Father Qin looked at the three people's backs as they left and couldn't help feeling lost.
