Chapter 1670 - 1670 Qi Zhenbai’s Apprehension

1670 Qi Zhenbai’s Apprehension

When Father Chi saw his daughter again, he still couldn’t calm down, especially when he saw her standing next to Qi Zhenbai. The couple looked so sweet that Father Chi felt so stifled.

In fact, after Qi Zhenbai was in the military district for a while, Father had slowly accepted the fact that his daughter had a boyfriend. Unfortunately, this kid was too quick and ‘absconded’ with Father Chi’s daughter before she was even of marriageable age. When Father Chi looked at the couple now, he conversely wasn’t as angry as when he first rushed back to the capital; it was just that he felt very stifled. The more he looked at Qi Zhenbai, the more he found him an eyesore.

If Qi Zhenbai hadn’t done well earlier to bring him to the old residence to see Grandpa Qi, Father Chi wouldn’t have been able to help but fly into a rage.

However, Father Chi was very satisfied with the Qi family’s attitude, especially that of Grandpa Qi.

!!

He relaxed.

After talking with Grandpa Qi all night, Father Chi learned that the old man was very satisfied with his daughter. Grandpa Chi also solemnly said that he would treat her well. In addition, Qi Zhenbai acted well the whole time. Father Chi hadn’t wanted to accept this fact as he addressed the issue of his daughter getting married.

He knew that it would have been impossible for his daughter to change her age and register her marriage with Qi Zhenbai if she hadn’t wanted to do so herself. Since she was willing, he couldn’t be bothered to be the bad guy.

It was just that this was too big an issue. His daughter had gone around him so easily to get married. Father Chi still had some anger in his heart. Of course, he couldn’t bear to vent this anger on his daughter, so he could only vent it on his son-in-law. He snorted coldly and didn’t have a good expression on his face.

Grandpa Qi smiled and didn’t have any objections to his in-law not giving his grandson face, but he helped to try and pull the father-in-law and son-in-law closer together as he said cheerfully, “You’re back? It’s good that you’re back. Zhenbai, it just so happens that your father-in-law is a little tired. Take him back to the guest room upstairs.”

Qi Zhenbai appreciated the old man’s good intentions and immediately replied, “Grandpa, I understand!”

After a pause, the old man looked at Shuyan and smiled kindly at Qi Zhenbai again. “Okay, it’s getting late. Zhenbai, take your wife upstairs too. We’ll talk tomorrow. Your father and uncles are also resting.”

“Okay!” the couple replied in unison.

After giving his grandson instructions, Grandpa Qi then quickly said to Father Chi in a very gentle and amiable tone, “In-law, it’s rare for you to come to the capital. Stay here with the Qi family for the next few days. I’ll get the children to take you around the capital in the next few days.” Without waiting for Father Chi to refuse, Grandpa Qi quickly said to the couple, “The two of you should stay at the old residence for the next few days and accompany your father. We’re all family. Zhenbai’s wife, tell your father not to treat himself as an outsider, understand?”

As soon as Grandpa Qi said that, Father Chi’s face softened and he no longer glared at Qi Zhenbai.

Chi Shuyan also replied with a smile, “I understand, Grandpa! Thank you!”

As she spoke, she walked over to Father Chi and intimately wrapped her arm around his to pull him upstairs.

Before she went upstairs, she didn’t forget Qi Hao. Seeing that he wasn’t back yet, she frowned a little. She was about to tell her man to call Qi Hao again, when she heard the faint sound of a car outside. It was most likely Qi Hao returning to the old residence, so she wasn’t worried anymore. Before she pulled her father upstairs, she just told Qi Zhenbai to wait in the living room for a while to make sure that Qi Hao was back.

Qi Zhenbai naturally had no objections. On the contrary, he heaved a sigh of relief. It had to be said that in front of his father-in-law, he couldn’t help but be a little nervous even if he didn’t want to be. He also knew very well what his father-in-law thought of him. He was in the wrong when it came to registering their marriage, so he could only behave well in front of his father-in-law in the next few days to please him.

Fortunately, Grandpa had given his father-in-law a good impression of him. Otherwise, his father-in-law would probably be even more displeased.

After his wife pulled his father-in-law upstairs, Qi Zhenbai heaved a sigh of relief. Grandpa Qi took in Zhenbai’s rare nervous expression and was especially gratified and amused.

This grandson had really been too calm and emotionless in the past. Now, he looked a little more lively, and looked much more normal.

Before the old man went upstairs, he walked past his grandson and patted his shoulder earnestly. “Do well in front of your father-in-law for the next few days. I’ve already put in a good word for you in front of him. You know that your wife changed her age to register her marriage with you in a hurry. Our family is in the wrong and has let your wife and father-in-law down. Even if your father-in-law really gets angry at you, you have to endure it, understand, Zhenbai?”

Qi Zhenbai nodded calmly.

Grandpa Qi was dissatisfied with this kid’s overly calm expression and deliberately said, “If the in-law isn’t satisfied with you and I lose my granddaughter-in-law, don’t blame me for settling the score with you. You have to know that it’ll only take one word from the in-law to make you lose your wife! Remember that!”

With that, Grandpa Qi went upstairs. He didn’t know that these words indeed made Qi Zhenbai feel a sense of crisis once more. Previously, he felt that no matter how dissatisfied his father-in-law was with him, the marriage had already been registered. Now, however, Grandpa Qi’s words struck him squarely in the heart. It also made him realize that he could indeed lose his wife with just one word from his father-in-law – it wasn’t like they couldn’t get a divorce after getting married.

Thinking this, Qi Zhenbai’s vision turned black, and anxiety, frustration, and worry struck him once more. If he didn’t know that his father-in-law definitely had something to say to his wife, he would have immediately gone to probe her and ask if she was satisfied with him. Of course, if she wasn’t, he could immediately mend his ways.

“Cousin, you’re still awake? Could it be that you were waiting for me?” While Qi Zhenbai was lost in thought, Qi Hao’s familiar voice came from the door.
