Since the theme of tonight’s banquet was “Captain’s Night” and the captain was Finnish, it was naturally held in a western restaurant.
Western dinners are quite different from Chinese ones, they are not as brightly lit or noisy. The lights were set to dim, and each table had candles on it. Due to the dim light, Qin Zhiyou was a bit frustrated. If he had known earlier, he would have arranged for a Chinese captain. In such a dark setting, who could see what his wife looked like?
However, the title “Mrs. Qin Zhiyou” still attracted quite a bit of attention. Since they had caused a scene in the breakfast area this morning, many people had been talking about how “Miss Bai,” who had been living a secluded life for five years since her marriage, finally made an appearance.
As for why she made an appearance, there were numerous theories. For example, Qin Zhiyou’s list of conquests had become too long to ignore, and she finally decided to fight off his numerous paramours. Or maybe she was getting too old to gallivant and wanted to return to her family. Another theory was that her former boyfriend, her current brother-in-law, Qin Zhisu, had returned to the country.
Since outsiders thought so, it was, of course, the same for the second and third families of the Qin Family. While Qin Zhisu was still changing clothes in his room, Qin Zhizhi teasingly nudged his older brother’s shoulder and said, “Brother, I heard that you met Lu Weixi in the restaurant this morning?”
Qin Zhisu was buttoning up his clothes. Upon hearing this, his fingers hesitated for a moment, and then he nodded and grunted in acknowledgment.
“I heard that Qin Zhiyou even stood up for her, as if no one knows his reputation.” Qin Zhizhi sneered disdainfully. “Who is he trying to show his deep affection to at this time? His own woman is right here. But Lu Weixi is not a good woman either. As soon as she broke up with you, she instantly switched to Qin Zhiyou. The seamless transition is suspicious. Did the two of them start an affair while you were still together? At least Cai Yiren was better; she loved only you and her feelings never changed over the years.”
“Zhizhi.” Qin Zhisu’s expression turned stern, “Enough of that. When we are outside, we are all part of the Qin family. It’s alright to have disagreements at home, but outside, we still need to maintain the dignity of the Qin family. Now, Weixi — Lu Weixi is our sister-in-law. The past is the past, I don’t want to bring it up anymore.”
By the time he finished his sentence, Qin Zhisu had already put on his suit and walked out first. Qin Zhizhi squinted his long eyes slightly, touching his nose.
He didn’t think that Qin Zhisu was still harboring feelings for Lu Weixi; he just thought that men cared a lot about being cheated on, even if it was a girlfriend who had broken up with them five years ago. Lu Weixi slept with Qin Zhiyou the night she broke up with Qin Zhisu, and they announced their relationship the next day. The transition was so seamless – who would believe that they did not have an affair while she was still with Qin Zhisu?
He guessed that his second brother must still be upset about this.
With a wicked grin, he followed Qin Zhisu out of the room.
When they reached the entrance of the restaurant, they joined Qin Weijian and Qin Weijia. Qin Zhisu greeted them politely as “Dad, Mom, Aunt, Uncle,” and looked behind Qin Weijia, “Where is Zhimei?”
Qin Weijia laughed, “You know what they say about girls not staying at home once they grow up. Right now, she must be hanging out with that Yu boy.”
Sure enough, before her words fell, the Yu family came over. Qin Zhimei had been standing next to Yu Sixing the whole time, chatting and laughing. When she saw her brother, she happily called out, “Brother.”
Qin Zhisu nodded, and also politely greeted the Yu family. As the waitstaff opened the door, Qin Zhisu walked in and immediately caught sight of Lu Weixi..
