Chapter 1324: Picked Up Gold?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Feng Yuanlin originally wanted to probe further, but Zhenbai’s cold and gloomy face in front of him was really unsightly no matter how he looked at it. He was probably jealous. Feng Yuanlin couldn’t help but sigh. How could he be jealous? He couldn’t help but laugh in his heart. He didn’t deliberately provoke Zhenbai like before, but talked about other things with Shuyan.

Chi Shuyan turned away and didn’t pay much attention to Feng Qin and Yang Lan. Her attention was more on the black Buddha pendant and what had happened at the Ruan residence today.

Qi Zhenbai spoke very little at that moment. His face was reserved and he hardly said anything. Most of the time, it was mainly Chi Shuyan and Feng Yuanlin talking. However, Chi Shuyan realized that while she hadn’t picked up much food, there was never a shortage of food in her bowl, and it was even piled up in a small heap.

Seeing the small mound of food in her bowl, she frowned slightly and didn’t touch it. However, the other party took no notice of her intent. In the end, Chi Shuyan didn’t want to waste the food, so she could only pick it up and eat. Needless to say, the food in this restaurant was really delicious.

Chi Shuyan took a few bites in a row and occasionally spoke to Brother Feng.

Seeing that his wife was finally eating the food he had taken for her, Qi Zhenbai’s originally gloomy face softened a lot, and the atmosphere between the three of them was good.

A sudden ringtone broke the silence. Chi Shuyan thought it was her phone at first. She touched her pocket, then realized that the sound was coming from the man next to her.

Seeing that the man next to her didn’t answer after a long while, she tapped his sleeve lightly and reminded him, “Your phone is ringing!”

Feng Yuanlin deliberately teased, “Zhenbai, were you staring at Shuyan just now, so you didn’t hear the ringtone?”

Qi Zhenbai picked up the call unhurriedly and took a few more looks at his wife. Chi Shuyan looked away, feeling helpless at Brother Feng’s teasing.

Feng Yuanlin couldn’t help but deliberately ask, “Hey, Zhenbai, who’s calling you?”

Qi Zhenbai gave his friend in front of him a warning look. He was a bit indifferent at first, but when he heard what the other party said, his face changed subtly. He immediately got up and said to the two of them, “I’ll take the call outside. I’ll be back later!”

When he said that, his gaze was fixed on his wife. Seeing that she didn’t react, he looked a bit disappointed, but immediately regained his composure. He got up and strode downstairs to answer the phone, and his face grew more serious and cold.

Feng Yuanlin clearly sensed that there was something wrong with Zhenbai’s mood. He didn’t know who had called Zhenbai, but he frowned slightly and said, “Shuyan, when you’re free later, ask Zhenbai what happened. Why did his face look a little unsightly just now?”

Chi Shuyan originally wanted to refuse, but under Brother Feng’s worried gaze, she nodded in agreement. “Okay!”

Qi Zhenbai stood ramrod straight outside the door as he answered the phone. His expression grew uglier and more serious, and his tone was frosty as he instructed the person on the other end of the line, “Ignore them. Send them away!”

Qi Hao thought to himself:?I’m not as capable as you are.?Fourth Uncle specially chose a time when the old man wasn’t around to bring that Zhuang woman back to the Qi family. On the surface, it was for everyone to get to know each other better, but in fact, Fourth Uncle wanted Qi Hao’s cousin to marry the woman he had chosen. He also specially introduced her to Qi Hao’s eldest uncle and aunt to brainwash them, and kept trying to convince them that the Zhuang woman was a good match for his cousin. Bah!

Qi Hao saw how unsightly his eldest uncle and aunt’s faces were several times. If it wasn’t for the fact that Fourth Uncle also had the surname Qi, Eldest Uncle and Aunt wouldn’t have given Fourth Uncle and Aunt any face.

What disgusted him the most was that Fourth Uncle and Aunt, who had always treated him poorly, actually used their seniority to put pressure on him. He was filled with anger. Qi Hao felt that he couldn’t take it anymore and couldn’t help but say, “Cousin, can you hurry up and come back? You don’t know, but not only did Fourth Uncle bring that Zhuang woman to our house, he also brought an elder of that woman over to discuss marriage between the two families.”

Qi Hao felt that his Fourth Uncle and Aunt were too shameless. His cousin was just their nephew, not their own son – even their own son might not be willing to be played around like this.

Qi Zhenbai’s eyes were filled with disgust when he heard Qi Hao’s words, but when he thought of his family’s attitude, he wasn’t worried. He also had Qi Hao describe what the Zhuang family elder looked like.

“There’s nothing special about him. He’s just a gentle and ordinary old man. He said that he’s some uncle of the Zhuang woman, and has a good temper. He also gets along well with Eldest Uncle and Aunt. He didn’t come to force the marriage, but came to apologize. He said that it’s fine if you really have a girlfriend; if you and the Zhuang woman aren’t fated to be together, you can just be friends in the future. However, Fourth Uncle and Aunt weren’t willing. They keep trying to matchmake you and that Zhuang woman in front of Eldest Uncle and Aunt, and the atmosphere is especially awkward! I don’t get it – what benefits did that Zhuang woman use to make them want to match the two of you?”

Qi Hao paused before he continued, “Cousin, by the way, that Miss Zhuang really seems to have a lot of feelings for you. Every time she mentions you, her shy and bashful appearance is simply mind-blowing. However, you can’t let Sister-in-law down. Sister-in-law is thousands of times better than this woman in every way!”

“Of course!” Qi Zhenbai said seriously.

“Cousin, when are you coming back? Are you coming back or not?” Qi Hao asked again.

Qi Zhenbai narrowed his eyes and thought of Zhuang Yanru’s abnormally clean background. To be honest, he really wanted to see if there was anything fishy about Zhuang Yanru’s uncle, who had gone to the Qi residence. However, he thought of how his wife was still in the restaurant, so he restrained his expression and said indifferently, “Not yet. Grandpa isn’t around. Just give Grandpa a call!”

“Got it, Cousin!” Qi Hao pursed his lips. He was about to say something else, when he heard the dial tone. F*ck! His brother was too heartless!

Qi Zhenbai’s phone call went on a little long. When he stepped back into the restaurant, he saw his wife and Yuanlin at the counter to pay the bill. He strode in and asked in a deep voice, “Why did you finish eating?”

Feng Yuanlin was about to reply, when a waitress suddenly ran down the stairs. The waitress was so excited that she didn’t know what to do. She lost her composure and shouted in the manager’s direction, “Manager… Manager, someone… someone picked up a bag of gold in the washroom upstairs!”
