Chapter 521: How Many Tables?

’In that case, I’ll just give the twins less money in their red envelopes from now on.’

The thought made her feel a bit better.

Just then, Qin Yue walked out.

She immediately put a smile back on her face. "Yu Yu, this is your brother. He isn’t familiar with this place, so why don’t you take him to play for a bit!"

"My brother is Qin Hao." With that, Qin Yue turned and walked away.

He felt sorry for accidentally causing his stepmom to lose her baby.

But he couldn’t accept some kid from another family suddenly becoming his brother.

Besides, he didn’t even live with his dad anymore.

He had given his and his sister’s father to his stepmom; as far as he was concerned, he owed her nothing.

When Gao Lan heard what Qin Yue said, her expression immediately soured.

She turned to look at Qin Wenze.

Qin Wenze immediately shouted at Qin Yue in displeasure, "Qin Yue, where are your manners?"

Qin Yue ignored him and ran back into the house.

Seeing her grandson being treated so unfairly, Mrs. Qin was not pleased.

She immediately glared at Qin Wenze.

"Qin Wenze, what are you doing, shouting at my grandson? I’ve told you before, children his age are sensitive. His own father belongs to someone else now, so how can you expect him to be in a good mood? Don’t forget, he’s only an eight or nine-year-old kid."

’It really was the wisest decision to make Wenze’s family move out and have the two children stay here at the Qin Family Mansion.’

’Otherwise, with another boy of the same age in the house—things would be utter chaos, wouldn’t they?’

Just then, Gao Lan quickly apologized. "Mom, I’m sorry. It’s my fault, I didn’t think it through. I just thought that since they’re brothers and about the same age, they’d get along well."

Mrs. Qin couldn’t very well criticize her.

"You two are here. Where’s your mother? Has she gone home?"

"Yes, I already sent my mother home. Since the boy hasn’t been formally introduced to you yet, we wanted to bring him over to meet you."

Mrs. Qin was at a loss for words.

Just seeing their little family gave her a headache. ’You really shouldn’t have,’ she thought.

Gao Lan turned her head to look at Qin Wenze—signaling for him to bring up the recognition banquet.

Qin Wenze got the message.

He really didn’t want to bring it up. ’Couldn’t this wait until after dinner?’ he wondered.

Mrs. Qin saw the couple exchanging loaded glances.

She guessed their visit wasn’t as simple as just bringing the boy over to meet them.

It only took a moment’s thought for her to guess their true purpose.

’Could I just throw Qin Wenze out?’

’Didn’t I already tell him? Adopting Gao Lan’s nephew is one thing, but that’s their business as a couple. It has nothing to do with the Qin family.’

’Is that boy’s brain filled with shit?’

’Did he just let our words go in one ear and out the other?’

Qin Wenze figured he had to say it sooner or later.

Might as well get it over with.

He had to face the music eventually.

It was better to get it over with sooner rather than later.

He cleared his throat and began, "Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Dad... here’s the thing. Since Gao Lan and I have officially adopted the boy, we feel we should hold a recognition banquet. We were wondering what your thoughts are on how to arrange it."

The moment Mrs. Qin heard this, she scoffed.

’I knew it,’ she thought. ’They’re full of it.’

"Why are you asking us about this? Arrange it however you want. You two can just decide for yourselves!"

Gao Lan immediately jumped in. "Thank you, Mom! In that case, let’s hold it here. After all, our own courtyard is rather small. We can only fit two or three tables at most, which definitely isn’t enough to seat everyone."

"It’s much more spacious here, so we can set up several more tables."

Mrs. Qin was speechless again.

’Did I give her the wrong impression somehow?’

’She actually wants to hold it here?’

Her eyes narrowed. "So, how many tables are you planning to set up, then?"
