Chapter 116 Lantern Festival Dinner(1/2)
The private rooms of relatively high-end seafood restaurants in S City have a specially designated area for receiving guests.
There are sofas, coffee tables, tea sets, tea leaves, etc., so guests can make tea and chat before or after meals.
When Lin Qi entered the private room, he first saw Liu Zhuping, Lin Guodong and Wang Ruoqing's parents gathered on the sofa, chatting happily.
Only he and Wang Ruoqing were missing.
Seeing this, Lin Qi also breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he was not the last one to arrive.
As a junior, Lynch naturally takes the initiative to say hello to the elders after entering the house.
Wang Ruoqing's father Wang Changnian and mother Li Shuwan were overjoyed when they saw Lin Qi's arrival and showed great enthusiasm.
"Xiao Qi is here. Come and sit here, uncle. We haven't seen each other for more than half a year."
Lin Qi thought to himself that he had never seen it since he was reborn. As for what happened before his rebirth, how could he know.
Then he showed an honest and honest smile and came to the empty seat next to Wang Changnian to sit down, while he said unintentional words.
"I have actually always wanted to visit Uncle Wang and Aunt Li, but since I started working, I have really been unable to spare the time, so I have never been able to visit Uncle Wang and Aunt Li. It is true that I did not do well.
Please forgive me, Uncle Wang and Aunt Li."
"Haha, Xiaoqi, what you said is too foreign. Young people should have their own world. What's the point of hanging around old people like us?
I heard that you are working in a futures company? How is it? Are you doing well?"
"It's pretty decent. I work part-time and earn a living, relying entirely on the support of my customers."
"Futures are pretty good. After all, we are in the financial industry. We work from nine to five. The work is decent and the income is not low. I have always said that our Lynch has a very good vision."
Wang Changnian said as he handed Lin Qi a cigarette.
"No, no, Uncle Wang is so complimentary."
In addition to being extra careful at home, Lin Qi was basically more casual outside. Later, he socialized a lot, and the instinct he developed while chatting made him take the cigarette Wang Changnian gave him before he could think about it, and he took the cigarette holder on the table.
Knock it twice, then put it to your mouth to light a fire. This set of movements is smooth and smooth.
It wasn't until he exhaled the first wisp of smoke that he saw Liu Zhuping's unkind face.
Uh, screwed!
"Hey, I just said that Lin Qi is a smart kid. It would be great if we Ruoqing could think as well as you.
You said that for a girl whose family is not short of money, wouldn't it be a good idea to find a more relaxed job and get married early so that she can be a husband and raise children?
I have to learn to be an independent woman and struggle everywhere.
Lin Qi, you two are of the same age and have similar ideas. When you have time, you should help your uncle to persuade her, so that she should stop worrying about things that are not available, and should calm down as soon as possible and find a good home for her.
Serious."
…
Uncle Wang, why did you suddenly hand me a cigarette? Don’t you know the majesty of my Queen Mother?
Didn't your long-time friend Lao Lin tell you that he had to endure a lot of glares from his wife when he smoked at home?
You actually gave me a cigarette, so you want to frame me for injustice?
And it seems inappropriate for you to blatantly step on your daughter like this. Your daughter is a hard-working and enterprising young man!
Also, when have I not become familiar enough with your daughter to persuade her to find someone to marry with peace of mind?
Not to mention that the underlying meaning behind your words is that you want me to persuade you to join in!
At this time, while Lin Qi was complaining crazily in his heart, the cigarette in his hand was also caught in the dilemma of continuing to smoke or pinching it off.
Wang Ruoqing's mother, Li Shuwan, seemed to have noticed the clue. She directly took Liu Zhuping's arm and whispered something into her ear.
Then Liu Zhuping snorted softly, her expression softened a lot, and she no longer looked at Lin Qi.
Lin Qi then breathed a sigh of relief and continued to smoke.
To be honest, Wang Ruoqing's parents have actually been pretty good to Lin Qi since she was a child. Although they may not treat Wang Ruoqing as their own as Liu Zhuping does, they should be much more considerate than the children of ordinary friends' families.
Especially after Lao Lin's business went bankrupt, the Wang family gave Lin Qi many gifts to ensure that his quality of life was not affected.
But since knowing Wang Ruoqing's intentions, many things made Lin Qi feel as if they were premeditated.
He even wondered for a time whether he and Wang Ruoqing had the kind of bloody marriage that someone had arranged in a previous life?
"Uncle Wang, Ruoqing and I..."
Just when Lin Qi was about to return to the previous topic and clarify his relationship with Wang Ruoqing, he suddenly heard an unexpected sound of the door opening.
Turning around and following the sound, he saw that the bathroom door in the private room was opened, and Wang Ruoqing, who was obviously well-groomed, walked out elegantly.
grass!
She had arrived a long time ago and shamelessly hid in the toilet. Fortunately, she didn't say anything bad about her just now.
Lin Qi turned around and glanced at Liu Zhuping and Lin Guodong expressionlessly.
You didn't even remind me that I am your biological son.
And this one, even if it goes as you wish, she will be your daughter-in-law if she survives, and the possibility of this is infinitely close to zero.
I don’t know if the several elderly people with ulterior motives had made an appointment. They were all speechless for a moment, and the box immediately became very quiet.
I could only hear the crisp sound of Wang Ruoqing's high heels touching the floor tiles as she walked.
The eyes of the four elders moved back and forth between Lin Qi and Wang Ruoqing.
Wang Ruoqing wore a green suspender dress today, which just covered the skirt above her knees, highlighting her straight and slender calves. Together with the white strappy high-heeled sandals on her feet, it really showed off the graceful lines of her legs.
Nothing left.
The slim waistline and small V-neck design also perfectly accentuated her exquisite curves.
The originally beautiful facial features coupled with carefully modified makeup complement the natural whiteness of green.
It makes her look so beautiful and charming as a whole, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a fairy descended from the earth.
Although Lynch has never denied Wang Ruoqing's beauty, he doesn't know why, but he always feels that he can't appreciate it. It may be because he has been influenced by Zhang Xiaoxiao's simple style for a long time.
Lynch's preference for Xiaojiabiyu is far better than that of other ladies.
To be honest, Lynch was even more impressed by Wang Ruoqing's homely look when she saw her in a bar on New Year's Eve.
In this weather, you can wear a rag and have a meal to make it more grand than a party without fear of getting pneumonia!
Lynch would only define it as Sima Zhao’s heart!
So after seeing this scene, Lynch not only complained secretly, but also became vigilant instantly.
With Wang Ruoqing's appearance, the two families had arrived and were naturally ready to sit down and have a banquet.
Just as everyone stood up and prepared to take their seats, Lin Qi took the opportunity to go to the bathroom.
But when he came out of the bathroom, he found that he had been clearly arranged.
The only seat left in the banquet was sitting opposite Wang Ruoqing.
And from that magical angle, as long as he raised his head for a moment, it would be difficult not to see the looming and proud waves.
What's even more amazing is that Wang Changnian and Lao Lin sat on either side of Wang Ruoqing, so that the two elders would not see anything they shouldn't.
Even though Lin Qi was a man of two generations and had seen strong winds and waves, he was a little unable to withstand the current scene.
I have never seen such a straight-ball battle!
What does this mean?
Force-feeding ice cream?
And Uncle Wang and Aunt Li, is it really appropriate for your daughter to openly seduce young members of the opposite sex in front of you?
Do you really not care a little bit?
Do you still want to keep your family tradition?
And Lao Lin and Ms. Liu!
Forget it! These two sold their sons long ago.
However, Lynch probably only hesitated for two or three seconds before deciding to let nature take its course.
Anyway, I've touched it before, so it's not a big deal if I look at it again.
Besides, this was forced upon him by the person concerned, and at best he was forced to go to the ground to cooperate in self-protection.
God knows if he refused to obey, what other inappropriate things would the other five people present on the same boat do?
After seeing that Lin Qi did not resist, he obeyed honestly.
The four elders suddenly began to argue with each other again.
The private room suddenly regained its popularity from silence.
...
After a while, the waiter started serving the dishes.
To be continued...
