The sudden ringing of the phone relieved Qin Shiming's embarrassment. Although he felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the three words "Qin Manxue" on the caller ID, he still picked up the call.
"Hey, what's the matter?"
"Are you free tonight?" Qin Manxue didn't say "Brother".
"What's up?"
Qin Shiming still emphasized.
"Tonight is my mother's birthday. If you are free, bring Auntie and Xiaocao over for dinner. I will send you the location later." Qin Manxue did not go around in circles and made her intention clear.
"I'm free."
Qin Shiming really didn't want to go, but when he looked up and saw Zhang Yating looking at him, like a wolf looking at a little sheep, Qin Shiming agreed.
Whether we go or not will be decided later. The key is to get rid of Zhang Yating first.
"Well, send me your address and I'll go there right away. By the way, I have to go to the mall to buy some gifts for my second aunt."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Shiming grabbed the car keys and left.
"I'm really sorry, Sister Yating."
Qin Shiming said to Zhang Yating: "My cousin just called me. It's my second aunt's birthday tonight. I can't go. You can figure it out by yourself. Can we get together next time?"
"I'll leave first..."
"Hey, wait for me, hey..."
As soon as Zhang Yating realized what she was doing, Qin Shiming had already run out of the company gate and disappeared as soon as the car started.
"asshole!"
Zhang Yating was so angry that she stamped her feet, and then a smile appeared on her face.
"Hide? Let me see where you can hide and how long you can hide. The man I, Zhang Yating, like, don't even think about running away, huh!"
Zhang Yating is not really angry. After all, it is not easy to meet a man you like.
She has been debuting for many years, no, it should be said that before Zhang Yating debuted, when she was just one month old, countless people came to her door to ask for marriage, including her parents' friends and partners who wanted to arrange baby marriages.
To this day, there are countless men pursuing Zhang Yating like crucian carp crossing the river.
However, there was no call from Zhang Yating.
She just likes Qin Shiming.
She only cares about Qin Shiming!
It has been more than a month since I left Kyoto. After Zhang Yating attended several events, her condition was extremely bad, and the shadow of a person always appeared in her mind inexplicably.
Qin Shiming.
He was a very ordinary man, with an average appearance and an average family background. He was the kind of man who would never be found again if he was thrown into the crowd. But it was such a man that Zhang Yating thought about day and night.
He had seen his own body, but his eyes were clear.
He touched his body but had no evil thoughts.
What kind of man is this?
Is it because he is not attractive, or is he not a pure man?
Maybe I fell in love because of my curiosity.
This time, even if Huang Yuanyuan hadn't invited her over, Zhang Yating would have come to see Qin Shiming recently.
I just didn't expect that not only was he a pure gentleman, but he was also surrounded by many beauties...
"call!"
Qin Shiming breathed a sigh of relief after getting in the car.
After arriving at the mall, Qin Manxue also sent a message about the place to eat that night - the Yangtze River Hotel, and the message specifically stated that Qin Shiming should not bring any gifts.
"It's better to go there."
Considering the relationship between his second uncle Qin Donghai, Qin Shiming stood at the entrance of the mall and thought for a moment before deciding to go there. Then he called his mother to explain the matter.
"You can go on behalf of our family, Xiaocao and I won't go."
"OK."
Qin Shiming didn't force himself. He hung up the phone and went to the mall to pick out two cosmetics and some fruit. When he left the mall and saw that it was almost time, he drove to the Yangtze River Hotel.
The Yangtze River Hotel is not famous in Jianghai City, but not being famous does not mean it is bad. It is just that the Yangtze River Hotel is an old three-star hotel with a history of more than 50 years. It is still quite prestigious in the minds of the older generation.
.
Because it was the rush hour after get off work, when Qin Shiming slowly rushed to the Yangtze River Hotel, it was already 7:40 in the evening. When he was getting gifts from the trunk, Zhang Mingyuan and Qin Manxue came out to greet them.
"Mr. Qin, why are you driving this car?"
Zhang Mingyuan was full of surprise, because Qin Shiming drove an old Buick that was more than ten years old, and it was dirty and looked very sloppy and downtrodden.
Zhang Mingyuan thought to himself, hasn't Galaxy Digital Entertainment been very profitable recently?
How did he become like this?
Where is his luxury van Alfa?
What about the hardcore off-road Hummer?
"Well, this car is comfortable to drive, quite good." Qin Shiming smiled lightly and disagreed.
Does it really matter what car you drive?
Ten or twenty years ago, many people may have thought that when driving a Mercedes-Benz and BMW, others would only call you "Mr. Qin", but when driving a shabby Mazda, others would only call you "Xiao Qin", but there are real problems.
A capable and capable big man, he never cares about what kind of car he drives.
Because no matter what car he drives, it doesn't affect his status as a boss or his standing in the C position.
"hehe."
Zhang Mingyuan smiled and deliberately touched the Mercedes-Benz key on his waist.
"Come on, come on. Why don't you buy a gift? It's not a birthday celebration?" Qin Manxue turned around and glared at Zhang Mingyuan, took the gift from Qin Shiming's hand, "Let's go."
"good."
A group of three people entered the private room, where Liu Xiaoli and Qin Yeming sat together.
"Second aunt, happy birthday, I wish you good health and all the best."
As soon as he entered the door, Qin Shiming smiled at Liu Xiaoli and shouted blessings, then glanced at Qin Yeming next to him.
I haven’t seen her for a while. Liu Xiaoli is much thinner than before and has more hair on her temples. As for Qin Yeming, she is not in a good condition either. Although she is neatly dressed and tidy, she can’t hide her hollow eyes.
He looked stupid, his lips and jaw moved, and he muttered something in a low voice.
"Thank you, Shiming, sit down quickly."
Liu Xiaoli was quite polite and actually stood up.
Of course Qin Shiming had to sit down, and the gifts were given out. Wouldn't it be a loss if he didn't come back with something to eat?
"Second Aunt, Manxue, don't be angry. My mother has a cold recently and she is not feeling well. Besides, Xiaocao has to go to school tomorrow, so she didn't come over." After sitting down, Qin Shiming continued to make random remarks, "But my mother asked me to
I’ll give you a toast later.”
"Thank you, thank you, sit down quickly, Manxue quickly ask the waiter to serve the food, don't leave Shiming hungry." Liu Xiaoli looked very moved.
However, Qin Shiming was troubled. Except for the second uncle who disappeared mysteriously, no one in this family had ever had a good look on him. What happened tonight? Why are you so polite?
In the past, when we invited the family to dinner, we would always serve the food first and eat and drink first. We would never wait any longer, and we would never be as polite as today.
