Chapter 274 - 275: Father-in-law (3)
Bai Changyou was taken aback, his face seemingly a mixture of green and pale. Cai Yiren, who wanted to make a snide remark, was suddenly left speechless at his disclosure of her secret wound.
Even though men can be different, they share the same characteristic, that is, they like to be the home wrecker, the mistress attempting to steal someone else’s man. Qin Zhiyou finished his sentence, dropped his phone on the table, pointing at Cai Yiren across from him, “Yiyi, you see, you should take some lessons from Miss Cai Yiren and her mother. If you were even one-tenth as capable as them, maybe I would divorce my wife and remarry you.”
After those words landed, the faces around the table changed, including Qin Zhigu. Qin Zhiyou had effectively insulted him too. Yu Sixing and He Weiyou exchanged glances, regretting their involvement in this drama.
Just then, the lights dimmed. Someone was giving a speech on the stage, and it became impossible to change seats.
Once the speech was over, the hall was mostly full. They didn’t even have the option to switch seats.
Fortunately, the meal arrived. Qin Zhiyou ignored them and started to eat heartily, occasionally recommending dishes to Yu Sixing and He Weiyou, “This oyster is very fresh, add some lemon. The geoduck is not bad either, it nourishes you, you two like to play around, eat more of it.”
At other tables, guests were toasting each other with laughter and chatter, but the atmosphere at this table was strange, everyone was absorbed in their meal.
After the last course of soup, Qin Zhiyou put down his chopsticks, gracefully wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue. Seeing everyone else doing the same, he appeared surprised, “Eat, why have you all stopped? There’s so much food left, it would be a waste not to finish.”
Yu Sixing and He Weiyou couldn’t take it anymore. They made an excuse about other people waiting to toast with them and swiftly escaped to other tables. Liu Yiyi also wanted to leave. If she could identify Bai Changyou’s identity at this point, she’d better quit her role as the hostess.
His surname was Bai, and he was Qin Zhiyou’s senior. He didn’t mince his words when he spoke to him. Also considering Qin Zhiyou’s earlier words – it seemed he was Qin Zhiyou’s father-in-law. So, where was Qin Zhiyou’s elusive wife, Miss Bai?
Qin Zhiyou had been with her for so long, yet she didn’t know how he really felt about her. He was considerate and cared for her in every way. She even thought for a while that he was tired of her, but then he helped her out again very quickly.
But can he really dote on her, if he has not even touched her bed or kissed her? What kind of companion does that make her?
Initially, she thought that their accidental encounter was arranged by fate and hoped to take advantage of that opportunity to capture him. But now that his father-in-law had arrived… no matter how bold Qin Zhiyou was, he wouldn’t dare to make any advances.
However, did Qin Zhiyou imply in his last comment that if she tried a little harder, she could outdo Mrs. Qin?
Although she was currently accepting money from Qin Weijia, if she could successfully win him over, what did Qin Weijia amount to?
When all the irrelevant people had left the table, Bai Changyou finally picked up his wine cup, took a sip and said in a bland tone, “Zhiyou, I heard that our Bai Family’s cooperation project was vetoed because of your objection. I thought our offer was already very good. I’d like to know what other requirements you have. We can discuss everything slowly.”
So, he realized that getting close wasn’t working and started to talk business?
