Just when Xiang Chubei and Qin Qing were about to go that way, the master of ceremonies announced the start of the banquet, so they had to give up. The old man's birthday banquet was a Chinese meal. Ten people sat down around a large round table, and the old man gave a speech on the stage.
"Xiaoqing, where is your late sister?" Li Ruimin asked, her eyes still a little red.
"Well, Sister Wan is on a business trip and may not be able to come back in time." Qin Qing felt a little guilty and glared at Chu Bei slightly.
Xiang Chubei, however, was very calm: "Mom, my daughter didn't stay in college, so Xiang Wan eloped with someone."
"What kind of strategy is this?" Li Ruimin frowned: "Nonsense, today is your grandfather's birthday banquet. It's a shame that your grandfather loved her so much since she was a child and didn't care about the occasion at all."
"Mom, yes..." Qin Qing's hand was held by Xiang Chubei under the table, and she had to change her words: "Mom, don't listen to Chu's nonsense, Sister Wan may be on the way."
Qin Qing looked at Xiang Chubei in surprise. Is this guy still a child, competing with his sister for favor?
Li Ruimin waved his hand: "Forget it, you young people, just do whatever you like."
"I'm really going to beat you. They are young people, and you are an old person?" The old lady was unhappy with this statement: "Then should your father and I go in..."
"Mom, you can't say anything today!" Li Ruimin quickly stopped the old lady: "Yes, it's my fault, please forgive me."
The old lady glared at her daughter-in-law: "At your age, it's more than enough to have another love relationship." The old lady's eyes turned and glanced at Chu Lin beside her.
"Mom..." Li Ruimin frowned.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk anymore." The old lady gave up.
After drinking for three rounds, Qin Qing felt a little dizzy, so she left the hotel and went outside to enjoy the breeze. Since Xiang Chubei had a social event, she just had someone bring her a coat and told her not to stay too long.
Qin Qing leaned against the pillar at the door, holding her head. She didn't drink much. Xiang Chu Bei blocked most of the drinks for her, but she was still dizzy. Qin Qing smiled bitterly. In this situation, if Xiang Chu Bei hadn't been there, she wouldn't have been able to drink much.
what to do?
"Miss Qin!"
Qin Qing turned around and her expression changed: "Mrs. Song."
"Miss Qin seems to be quite afraid of me?" Xu Qinghua walked up to Qin Qing and said in a well-educated manner: "I didn't mean any harm in that letter, but it was forced by the situation. If it made Miss Qin feel uncomfortable, I apologize.
"
"Mrs. Song's handwriting is very beautiful."
"I know that you want to say that my language is very vicious. Miss Qin also has a family. Of course, I am talking about the Qin family and parents. I hope that Miss Qin can understand the difficulties of being a wife and a mother." Xu Qinghua smiled lightly,
Dressed in luxury: "The words 'well-matched' really made Miss Qin uncomfortable, but..."
Qin Qing smiled bitterly: "But, that's also true. My father was a corrupt official and he was disbanded."
"I don't have a strong sense of family status. I might as well tell Miss Qin that sometimes a wolf that attacks you is not scary. What's more scary may be the pet you keep by your side. He may bite you when you don't expect it.
Take a bite." Xu Qinghua looked at Qin Qing and raised his eyebrows: "Of course, I was just making a metaphor."
"Mrs. Song, if you don't mind, I hope you can call me Mrs. Xiang." Qin Qing straightened her back. This person came with bad intentions. It sounded like he wanted to sow discord. She would first return to the Xiang family to express
own position.
"I know you are hostile to me. No matter what I say, you won't believe it. It doesn't matter. I don't need you to believe it. As a mother, I just want to talk."
"Sorry, I may not be suitable to be your listener." Qin Qing turned around, not intending to pester her. She pulled her coat and walked inside.
Xu Qinghua did not pull her, but still said to himself: "As a mother, I naturally hope that my children can be happy, but as the hostess of a family, I will give priority to the fate of this family. You may not understand,
But as long as you carefully observe the people around you, you will find that you are just a pet being played with."
Qin Qing frowned, knowing that she shouldn't stop and listen to what she said. As expected, she couldn't say anything good. So, before Xu Qinghua's next words came out, she didn't stop anymore, wrapped her coat tightly, opened the door, and went in to look for Chu Bei.
.
After Qin Qing left, Viscount Song appeared next to his mother, his eyebrows furrowed. He took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket in annoyance, put it to his lips and lit it.
"What on earth do you want to do?" he asked, his heart aching severely.
Could it be that his mother had figured out that she would try her best to help him fight for it, so was it too late? Or was it too naive that his mother suddenly thought that she had the strength to compete with the Xiang family?
"I just want to be a good mother." Xu Qinghua didn't look at his son, but looked at the night sky. The place he couldn't see clearly was so scary.
Song Zijue smiled bitterly: "That's enough, Mom, I believe you are a good mother."
"Viscount, don't hate me. It wasn't me who separated you from Qin Qing, it was the Xiang family." Xu Qinghua finally said it out. The cold war with her son during this period made her instantly feel a lot older: "Son, do you still remember?
, when we wanted to marry your sister to Xiang Chubei, Mrs. Xiang made an appointment with me."
"She only said one thing: The Viscount was beaten by A Chu two years ago. How is his health now?" Xu Qinghua then looked at his son: "I have always known about your relationship with Qin Qing. When did mom interfere? Why did the two of them do it?
You will be imprisoned for three months after the new year, because Qin Qing is Xiang Chubei's pet peeve, son, you should not touch his thorn in your side!"
Viscount Song closed his eyes: "What's the point of talking about this now?"
"It's not me, I'm not the one who ruined your happiness!" Xu Qinghua grabbed his son's sleeve: "Viscount, mother hopes you are happy, more than anyone else..."
"No, if I had said that I wanted to marry Qin Qing, you would not have agreed, because her father's past would affect the development of the Song family. Yes, Mom, I may not have a sense of family status, but compared to Qin Qing, you
I would prefer a girl with a pure background. Of course, it would be better if the girl was born noble."
"What nonsense are you talking about..." Xu Qinghua threw away his son's hand.
Viscount Song sneered: "What did you do when I was at Brother Jue's place?"
"Viscount!"
"Mom, you want to break up Brother Jue and Xiang Wan. Do you think Xiang Wan and I can be together?" Viscount Song raised his lips: "So, mom, you are the best mother in the world. You don't need to prove it.
Everything you do is for my future, how can I not love you?"
"No!"
"Mom, you don't want to win over Qin Qing for me, nor do you want to tell me that you are a good mother. You just want to bring chaos to the Xiang family. Because of their strength, you are so worried." Song Zijue raised his hand and wiped the corners of his mother's eyes.
Tears: "Mom, don't cry, you shouldn't cry, you should always be dignified and beautiful.
