Chapter 689 Engagement Celebration II

　　Lin Xiu immediately became angry when she saw Qin Shanyuan. For some reason, he was very busy and didn’t have much time to spend at home. As long as Lin Xiu wanted to say something, he got up to leave. “I need to go to the company. There’s a lot of work that needs to be done there.”

Even weekends were no exception.

Lin Xiu once thought that something big had happened to the company and it would go bankrupt. Otherwise, why would Qin Shanyuan keep running to the company? She then asked Qin Shaoqiang, who shook his head in shock. “No? How come I don’t know? The company is doing pretty well right now.”

Only then did Lin Xiu realize that Qin Shanyuan was hiding from her.

So, now that she saw Qin Shanyuan’s face, Lin Xiu was immediately filled with anger. “What do you mean by the right time? We’ve all finished eating and the table has already been cleared. Can’t you see that?”

”What?” Qin Shanyuan’s eyes widened in surprise as he looked at the empty table. He turned to Han Cihui in disbelief. “Are you really done?”

Han Cihui touched his nose in embarrassment. He really didn’t want to get involved in this mess.

”Uh…” Han Cihui nodded cautiously, “I-I-Yeah, probably.”

Seeing that Han Cihui was stuttering, Qin Shanyuan knew that Lin Xiu was lying to him. He smiled contentedly and poured a glass of juice for himself. “Mom, don’t tease me. I’m hungry and didn’t eat much in the afternoon.”

”Serves you right!” Lin Xiu didn’t really want to get angry, but seeing Qin Shanyuan now, she couldn’t hold back her anger anymore. Even though there were so many people around her, she couldn’t help but scold him.

”I told you to come and watch your sister, but you said that there was too much to do at the company and not coming. I told you that your little sister is engaged to Jiahao today. In the end, you still come late. Look around, you’re the last one to arrive. Tonight is your sister’s engagement celebration but she still has to wait for her older brother to arrive!”

Qin Shanyuan didn’t know what he’d done wrong.

Why did Lin Xiu attack him as soon as he arrived? He looked at Qin Yu bitterly and wanted her to say a few words for him.

Qin Yu turned her head away and spoke to Liang Jiahao.

Wasn’t this complete nonsense?

When Qin Yu was at home and when Lin Xiu had bombarded her, he would always stand up for her. Now that Lin Xiu had berated him until she attracted the attention of others, Qin Yu abandoned him.

Qin Shanyuan saw that his sister had no intention of standing up for him and sighed dejectedly. “I’ve been very busy, and I can’t just abandon my work like that.”

”Who are you lying to?” Lin Xiu snorted coldly. “Don’t think I don’t know, you’re just deliberately avoiding me.”

Qin Shanyuan immediately lost his temper at what Lin Xiu said. He could only lower his head and remain silent.

At this moment, the door to the private room was pushed open and a waiter came in to serve the food. The manager also came in with a bottle of wine in his hand. He smiled. “President Dong said that this bottle of wine is a gift from him. It’s a congratulatory gift for President Liang and Miss Qin on their engagement.”

Dong Yong was good at handling things. Although he outwardly pretended to be stingy and would never give anyone a gift, but he would give a bottle of good wine every time the Han Family came over, whether it was a big or small joyous occasion.

Liang Jiahao nodded and thanked him. “Please pass my gratitude to President Dong.”

The manager put down the wine and waited until the waiter finished serving the food before saying, “I wish you a pleasant meal.”

He then followed the waiter out.

Liang Jiahao stood up and personally poured the wine for everyone.

Lin Xiu looked at Liang Jiahao’s courteous and mature look and laughed happily. “Aiya, I really like Liang Jiahao. Look how high his self-awareness is and how considerate he is. It makes me happy to have a son-in-law like him.”

She complimented Liang Jiahao so openly that Luo Yanyun became embarrassed.

Since Lin Xiu praised her family, Luo Yanyun thought she should return the courtesy, so she casually praised Qin Shanyuan. “I think Shanyuan is a pretty good child too. He’s handsome, and his personality is also good. The children of the Qin Family are all good.”

”Him?” Lin Xiu’s face fell. She couldn’t even talk about Qin Shanyuan. “Look at him.”

She raised her hand and pointed at Qin Shanyuan, then began to count her fingers. “Normally he’s just like a young master at home, doing nothing, and now he still resents me for nagging him so much that he doesn’t even want to go back home. If it wasn’t for him coming back to sleep, I don’t think he’d even step foot inside the house.”

Luo Yanyun didn’t expect Lin Xiu to criticize Qin Shanyuan again. She just wanted to return the courtesy. She gave Qin Shanyuan an embarrassed look, gave Lin Xiu a stiff smile, and didn’t dare to say anything more.

Qin Shanyuan suffered so much in his heart. He didn’t expect the gunshots to hit him again.

He raised his head and forced a smile. “What are you guys waiting for? Let’s eat. Today is a good day, my sister and Big Brother Liang finally got engaged, let’s celebrate.”

”You only know how to eat!” Lin Xiu sighed. “Look at your sister. She’s already engaged, but you… I don’t even see the shadow of your girlfriend! What do you do all day?”

This time, Qin Shanyuan felt really wronged. “Mom! I don’t have a girlfriend because I haven’t met a good one yet! When I meet her in the future, I’ll definitely introduce her to you. Let’s talk about this later. My sister is a girl, so it doesn’t matter if she got engaged earlier, but I’m a man and I still have to manage the company for dad!”

Qin Shaoqiang, who was drinking with Liang Jiahao and Old Man Han, heard that his son was using him as a shield. He immediately put down his glass and turned around to look at Qin Shanyuan, saying in all seriousness, “If you insist, then you don’t need to go to the company tomorrow. Concentrate on finding your girlfriend. I can manage the company by myself. Once you find a girlfriend, you can come back to the company.”

Qin Shanyuan: “…”

His father went along with his mother, didn’t he?

Qin Shanyuan looked around the table and finally stopped at Han Cihui, who was sitting beside him. He suddenly revealed a sly smile. “Dad, mom, don’t talk about me. Look at Cihui. He’s the same age as me, and he doesn’t have a girlfriend yet either, right?”

Han Cihui: “…”

Who did he offend?

Can he just eat the meal without anyone finding fault with him?

Han Cihui decided that he would never help Qin Shanyuan take the blame!
