Chapter 174: Pretentious
Compared to the hustle and bustle downstairs, the study on the third floor is very quiet.
Qin Yanchuan was sitting at the desk, leaning back in his chair, listening to the phone.
The person on the other end of the phone was Special Assistant Ye. "Master Qin, the test results are out. That glass of wine was just ordinary red wine. Nothing else was added."
The red wine Ye Yun was talking about was the one that Qin Yi handed to Shi Yang at the banquet last night.
In the end, Qin Yanchuan fell on Qin Yi.
Since he knew that the red wine was not spiked, Qin Yanchuan's expression was not very good. He ordered in a low voice: "Send someone to keep an eye on Qin Yi."
"Okay, Master Qin."
After finishing the call, Qin Yanchuan got up and left the study.
In the living room on the first floor, Shi Yang, Shi Huai, and the two Qin brothers were sitting in front of the sofa, chatting casually.
Most of the time, it was Qin Yelan and Shi Huai who talked, while Shi Yang just focused on eating fruits and snacks, occasionally interjecting a few words, and Qin Qian still spoke very little.
"Brother Shi, your figure looks good, much better than Yangyang's."
Shi Yang stuffed an orange slice into his mouth and gave Qin Yelan a chilly look.
Of course not. His brother can carry more than 100 kilograms of pig feed with one hand and can even knock down a big fat pig.
Shi Huai nodded. "Xiao Yang has a weak constitution and is prone to illness. When he was young, he was short and thin, like a monkey."
As he said this, he glanced at his brother who was putting food into his mouth, "He's much better now, he can eat and sleep well."
They eat more than the piglets at home.
Shi Yang seriously suspected that his brother was implying something about him, so he stuffed the remaining half of the orange into Shi Huai's hand, "Brother, eat some orange."
Qin Yeyan thought of something, and looked at Shi Huai with a subtle look, then asked doubtfully:
"By the way, Brother Shi, didn't Yangyang say that you were stepped on by a pig and had two broken ribs? Are you healed so quickly?"
Hearing this, Qin Qi also looked over.
Shi Huai was eating an orange and said subconsciously: "When will I..."
At this moment, Shi Yang pinched his waist hard. Shi Huai endured the pain and said, "Ah, yes, yes, it is true that two ribs were broken, but I have a good physical condition and recovered quickly. I am fine now."
Qin Yelan didn't know whether he believed it or not. "Is that so? Then be careful next time."
"I reinforced the pigsty, so they won't escape from prison anymore." Shi Huai changed the subject: "By the way, why don't I see your uncle?"
Although he still doesn't know what Shi Yang is going to do, Shi Yang is his brother, so naturally he has to help keep it a secret.
"My uncle is here...he is here."
Speak of the devil, and he will appear. Qin Yanchuan, dressed in casual clothes, was walking into the living room and nodded slightly to Shi Huai in a reserved and polite manner.
Shi Huai stood up and shook hands with Qin Yanchuan politely, "Mr. Qin, I am here to bother you again."
The man in front of him was his future brother-in-law. Qin Yanchuan's attitude was a little more sincere than last time. He politely replied, "Don't bother me. Mr. Shi, come often in the future."
Shi Huai: "Then I won't be polite."
This Mr. Qin is still the same as last time, very dignified.
Shi Huai was sitting on Shi Yang's left, and Qin Yelan was sitting on his right. However, Qin Yanchuan walked directly to his little nephew and looked over.
Qin Yelan was very understanding and took the initiative to make room for him. "Uncle, please sit here."
Under Shi Huai's gaze, Qin Yanchuan sat down calmly, then looked at Shi Yang beside him, his eyes helpless but mixed with two parts of doting and three parts of indulgence, "Yangyang, you still have to eat lunch later, so eat less snacks."
Shi Yang: "..."
Good news, the old guy's acting skills have improved and he has learned the pie chart.
Bad news, still contrived as always.
Shi Huai's facial expression was extremely complicated and difficult to describe.
It still feels familiar, too familiar.
Shi Yang's toes quickened their work speed. He snorted at Qin Yanchuan in annoyance, then picked up an orange and stuffed it into his hand.
"I want to eat it. Peel the orange for me."
Qin Yanchuan looked at him helplessly again and began to peel the orange carefully.
Qin Yelan cleared his throat and seized the opportunity to add drama to himself, "Yangyang, I want to peel oranges for you too."
Shi Yang secretly rolled his eyes in his heart, picked up an orange and threw it into his arms.
Who knew that at this moment, Qin Zhuo, who had been silent, suddenly stretched out his palm towards him, and his meaning was very obvious.
No, it’s okay for Qin Yelan, but why are you making things more dramatic for yourself?
Exaggeration!
Shi Yang's mouth twitched slightly, and he took an orange and put it into Qin Qi's palm.
He maintained his troublemaker persona and complained in a low voice:
"Really? It's just peeling an orange. What's so great about it? Can I eat so much?"
Shi Huai looked at the three uncles and nephews who were peeling oranges seriously, and then looked at Shi Yang who was folding his arms and looking arrogant. The magical feeling began again.
He tried to stay calm, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip to moisten his throat, "Xiao Yang, don't talk like that."
Shi Yang moved towards Shi Huai and whispered in his brother's ear, "Brother, calm down. Just do it as usual."
Shi Huai was silent for a moment and nodded.
Soon, the other three had peeled the oranges.
Qin Yelan held the oranges in his hands, as if offering tribute, "Yangyang, eat mine, the oranges I peel are the most beautiful."
Qin Zhuo didn't say anything. Qin Yanchuan coughed lightly, and the hint was very obvious.
Shi Yang was selfless. "I have to save my stomach for lunch later. You guys eat by yourselves."
Shi Huai picked up the teacup again and took a sip of tea.
He still couldn't figure out what kind of magic potion the Qin family had been fed to make them worship his brother like an emperor.
You know, when his brother was in the village, he even disliked cats and dogs, and they would run away with their tails tucked between their legs when they saw him.
Shi Yang ate too many oranges and felt the urge to pee, but he was worried about Shi Huai staying alone with the three extras, so he couldn't let Shi Huai go with him.
He tried to hold it back, but couldn't help but stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom first."
After saying that, he left quickly.
Shi Huai took another sip of tea, cleared his throat, and hesitated for a moment, "My brother hasn't gotten into trouble recently, has he?"
It was a close call. I almost couldn't help asking, what exactly is so special about Shi Yang? What do you like about my brother?
Qin Yanchuan opened the orange in his hand and said, "No, Yangyang is very well behaved."
Qin Yelan ate an orange and nodded in agreement, "My uncle is right."
Qin Qi didn't want to eat it, so he stuffed the orange in his hand to Qin Yelan and symbolically echoed, "Indeed."
Shi Huai looked up at the ceiling and took another sip of tea.
Forget it. It seems that his brother does have some outstanding qualities that he doesn't know about. It's his fault as an older brother that he didn't discover his brother's strengths.
The Qin family must have their reasons for doing this.
Qin Yanchuan finished eating the orange and suddenly stood up, "I have something to do, so I'll leave for a while."
