"Brother Jin Yu?"
Li He was still chattering and complaining when a taxi came to the door. Qiu Mei got out of the car and saw Zhao Jinyu at a glance.
But then, she saw everyone and recognized Mu Ruanruan who was standing with his back to her.
Li He couldn't see the situation clearly, but Qiu Mei saw it clearly.
Here is her ex-boyfriend who was abandoned by her, her current boyfriend who is having a quarrel with her, her future father-in-law whose face is as dark as the bottom of a pot, and her current boyfriend's ex-girlfriend.
Plus a brainless best friend.
The moment Zhao Jinyu saw her, his expression changed. He quickly glanced at Zhao Qishan and found that the latter looked normal, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
He walked a few steps towards Qiu Mei and asked in a low, unpleasant voice, "Why are you here?"
Qiu Mei also felt that she had come at the wrong time, but since she was here, she said pitifully, "Your family is having a party today, and I wanted to come and see my uncle, aunt, grandpa, and grandma."
The Zhao family has a strict family tradition and there is no reason to chase away guests who come to visit. Otherwise, Zhao Jinyu would probably stop a car and let her leave.
What's more, Zhao Qishan was also there, so he could only stand here and wait for Zhao Qishan to speak.
Qiu Mei looked at Zhao Qishan several times, not knowing whether to take the initiative to say hello. Zhao Jinyu gave her a look, and she shut up and stood behind him.
Mu Ruanruan sometimes looked down at her toes, sometimes looked up at the sky.
Zhao Qishan hated people who were disrespectful and behaved in an improper manner. After seeing Mu Ruanruan like this, his brows furrowed even more.
Li He quietly gestured to Qiu Mei.
Qiu Mei turned her eyes away and pretended not to see it. She stood quietly, looking dignified and virtuous.
"Uncle Zhao, this is what happened. That crazy woman hit me." She choked up a few times and said, "My father has never hit me."
When hitting her, Mu Ruanruan used all her strength, and the force was not small. There were clear five finger marks on Li He's face.
"Is that so?" Zhao Qishan looked at Mu Ruanruan and asked.
"That's basically it. I admit I scolded her and hit her, but she was the one who was rude first. If Uncle Zhao wants to punish me, then so be it."
Zhao Qishan didn't say anything.
After a while, he said a few words to the guard behind him, and the guard was ordered to go into the house.
"Come in." Zhao Qishan said.
No matter how much Mu Ruanruan wanted to leave, she had no choice but to follow him in silently.
Zhao Qishan walked very fast. Li He, wearing high heels, chased after him awkwardly: "Uncle Zhao, you won't let her go so easily, will you? That wild girl is rude and barbaric, and she even hit people. Uncle Zhao, you must punish her severely."
Zhao Qishan didn't stop, but turned his head to look at her from head to toe and said, "If it doesn't fit, don't wear it."
There was suppressed laughter in the crowd.
Li He was too embarrassed to hold back his expression, and walked on with his head down in anger, only secretly glancing at Mu Ruanruan, who pretended not to see.
She moved to Mu Ruanruan's side and gritted her teeth: "You will be in trouble later. Uncle Zhao will definitely not let you go. My father has such a good relationship with him. He can't just watch me suffer."
Mu Ruanruan said calmly: "Then I'll wait."
Nowadays, although the Zhao family and the Mu family are no longer close, they were indeed old friends in the past. Zhao Qishan and Mu Mingda grew up together and have a close relationship.
It's just that in recent years, because of the unpleasantness of their children's marriages, they have been less together, but they still maintain a friendly attitude.
Unless Zhao Qishan wants to cut off ties with the Mu family, Li He will probably be disappointed.
Even if she brought up her factory director father, what would it matter? Who were the people who interacted with the Zhao family, and what did they talk about?
It was such a trivial matter that Chief Zhao gave her a look, which was already a sign of respect. Could it be that he wanted to shake Zhao Qishan's usual handling principles?
However, speaking up for Mu Ruanruan is even more impossible.
Just scold me. We won’t see each other in the future anyway, so just learn a lesson this time. If you are really not convinced, go and scold Zhao Jinyu to get back at him.
There is a large study on the east side of the first floor of the Zhao family's house, where Zhao Qishan usually handles official business and receives guests.
He is a very old-fashioned and serious person. He usually does not allow others to enter his study. But this time he actually brought such a large group of people and walked towards the study in a mighty manner.
When passing through the hall, he attracted a lot of attention.
Many people came to the banquet today. Some of them Mu Ruanruan knew, and they were all well-known figures from various walks of life. Some of them Mu Ruanruan had never seen before, but judging from their temperament and dress, they were not ordinary people.
Qiu Mei was with Zhao Jinyu, but she had never been here. At that time, Zhao Jinyu's divorce was a hot topic. In the end, the divorce was successful, and the outside world didn't know who was the one who was divorced and who was the new love.
The Zhao family is low-key, and the daughters-in-law of all generations are also very low-key. Therefore, although Mu Ruanruan has been married to Zhao Jinyu since childhood, the outside world does not know about it.
On weekdays, when he came to visit the Zhao family, he was always accompanied by Mu Mingda, and everyone just treated him as a child of the Mu family.
Zhao Jinyu probably reminded Qiu Mei of this, so she didn't publicize it everywhere over the years, which made some of her thoughts and actions more convenient.
For example, Li Kang didn’t know about her and Zhao Jinyu at that time.
For example, when Qiu Mei encountered trouble at the textile factory, Zhao Jinyu did not come forward to help her.
It was because of this that Qiu Mei felt aggrieved and thought that this man was not always close to her. She often doubted whether he was worthy of her clinging to him.
The Zhao family had never seen her, so naturally she had never been to the Zhao family. Therefore, she didn't know the situation of Zhao Jinyu's family, so she went to curry favor with Li Kang and got a glimpse of the Zhao family's situation from Li Kang.
Seeing this scene, Qiu Mei was stunned. She had thought that the Zhao family was pretty good, but she had never imagined that they were so bad. She couldn't help but feel excited.
She was now finally sure of who the person she was looking for was. From now on, she would no longer hesitate or waver. From now on, she would follow Zhao Jinyu wholeheartedly.
"You three come in." After Zhao Qishan said this, he went into the study.
No one heard clearly which three people went in.
Fortunately, there was a guard there who reminded them, and then they realized that Li He, Zhao Jinyu and Mu Ruanruan were allowed to go in.
Mu Ruanruan didn't want to go in, but she had to.
Qiu Mei stood at the door, her face flushed, as if she was looked down upon and wanted to go in but couldn't.
Li He went in, Mu Ruanruan went in, and she was left outside.
He quietly tugged at his sleeves with both hands, digging his fingertips into his palms.
The study door is closed.
The study was very large, with mahogany bookshelves on three sides, a large desk in the middle, and a leather chair behind it, where Zhao Qishan was sitting.
The guard stood not far away.
The three people who followed in stood in front of the desk, lowered their heads, waiting to be scolded.
"Miss Xiao He, this matter is due to our Zhao family's poor hospitality. I will have someone take you to get some medicine. If you feel any discomfort later, the Zhao family will be responsible to the end."
Zhao Qishan said to the guard, "Take Miss Li to apply medicine."
Li He: “…”
Mu Ruanruan: "......"
