Chapter 99: Marrying a Wife and Forgetting the Mother

After buying the things, it was getting late, so the two decided to go to a nearby state-owned restaurant to eat before going back.

As for Zhang Laosi, it would be better to give him a portion to take home and eat alone.

When the three of them were having dinner together before, Gu Zhiqiang and Qi Bin both noticed that because the food they bought was better, Zhang Laosi almost didn't dare to pick up his chopsticks and only ate rice.

It was just fate, it was so wonderful that Gu Zhiqiang and Qi Bin ran into an acquaintance as soon as they walked into the state-owned restaurant.

At noon, Qi Yuanhang temporarily changed to another restaurant to buy some food and when he got home he ran into the Qin father and daughter who were visiting him at the door.

Fortunately, Qi Sheng was quick-witted and said that the restaurant had some new and unique signature dishes, so he asked his son to buy them and bring them back to entertain customers. This explanation barely satisfied Qin's father.

Qi Sheng came here to ask for help, and of course he severely criticized his wife afterwards, but he wanted to improve his relationship with Qin's father in other ways even more.

He simply asked his son to make an appointment with Qin's father and Qin Shiman, and the four of them went to the state-owned restaurant for dinner the next day.

It was such a coincidence that the two groups went to the same restaurant, so as soon as Gu Zhiqiang and Qi Bin entered the door, they saw Qi Yuanhang who was already sitting inside.

And, Gu Xiaoman, no, now she should be called Qin Shiman, the girl who was raised by the old Gu family for eighteen years but was no longer recognized by the old family in the blink of an eye.

Qi Yuanhang was fine, he just felt a little annoyed. Why did he run into these two people every time he came to the hotel?

Qin Shiman was shocked. She didn't expect to see the Gu family here.

In fact, Qin Shiman had met Qi Bin the last time she went to the Red Flag Brigade, but she was not in good condition at that time.

At this moment, he was a little distracted by Gu Zhiqiang and did not pay too much attention to Qi Bin.

To be honest, Qin Shiman thinks she is living a good life now. She has a stable job partner. Although she looks ordinary now, she knows that Qi Yuanhang will become the CEO of a wealthy family in the future.

Qi Yuanhang's parents were also very nice and kind to her, and even her own parents relented and began to consider their marriage.

At this time, why would those country bumpkins come to the city, or even specifically come to the provincial capital?

God knows, the moment Qin Shiman saw Gu Zhiqiang, she didn't feel any fatherly love at all.

The first thing that came to her mind was that in her previous life, she was abandoned by Chen Haodong and suffered from rumors in the village. She wanted her father to give her 200 yuan as travel expenses so that she could chase him out and get to the bottom of things.

But Gu Laosan refused, insisting that the two hundred yuan was the money the family had saved with great difficulty to help his brothers get married.

Qin Shiman was so angry that she blamed them for favoring boys over girls. Later, she stole the two hundred yuan and ran away.

Seeing Gu Zhiqiang and the others at this moment, I wondered why these people suddenly appeared in the provincial capital?

Could it be that life in the countryside was too hard, and knowing that she was now the daughter of a wealthy family in the provincial capital, he came to her specifically to ask for money?

Humph, it must be that Gu Wan who can’t stand the hard life in the Gu family and cries every day.

It’s no wonder Qin Shiman thought so, because in her memory of her previous life, the Hongqi Brigade had always been a poor village.

The more I thought about Qin Shiman, the worse I felt. Isn't the best destination for a woman to get married?
Could it be that they knew that Qi Yuanhang and I were about to get married and came to sabotage us on purpose?
Qin Shiman's various speculations suddenly calmed down when she saw Qi Yuanhang sitting opposite her and the two fathers on both sides.

She continued to smile sweetly and chat with them while eating. Meanwhile, Gu Zhiqiang and Qi Bin ordered dishes and chatted while waiting for them to be served.

However, there was no mention of the topic related to Qin Shiman and Qi Yuanhang. Gu Zhiqiang already knew their relationship completely, and he also knew that they were a pair of bastards who had hurt his own daughter.

When Gu Xiaoman insisted on leaving and even put the blame on others, the father-daughter relationship they once had disappeared completely.

Not to mention that the couple wanted to hurt Wanwan together. Gu Zhiqiang just felt so unlucky that he could encounter such an eyesore even when having a meal.

They were all eating peacefully, but after a while a middle-aged woman came into the state-owned restaurant, and it was obvious that she came with a purpose.

If Gu Wan was here, he would definitely recognize that the person coming in was Qi's mother, Qi Yuanhang's mother.

"Oh, are you guys having a dinner party or something, a gathering among men?" Mother Qi said this to Qi Sheng, Qi Yuanhang, and Father Qin, but she glanced at Qin Shiman from the corner of her eye: "But why is there a little girl at this gathering of men?"

Then, Qi's mother shook herself up as if she was possessed by a dramatic spirit.

"Is it a gathering of two families? Then why didn't you invite me and Xiaoman's mother? What on earth do you want to do?"

At the end of her speech, her voice became stern. Qi's mother was really angry.

Originally, she still felt a little guilty because she had agreed to invite her son's boyfriend over for dinner, although she was unable to prepare a delicious meal because her aunt had taken a sudden leave.

Only then did she think of asking her son to go out and buy it. After all, she was the one who was disrespectful in this matter, so when her husband scolded her, Qi's mother did not say a word.

Unexpectedly, she later found out that her husband and son had invited the girl and her daughter out for dinner without her knowledge. If her good sister had not met Qi's mother, she would have been kept in the dark.

What on earth do these people want to do? She is Qi Yuanhang's biological mother, and now that her son is about to get married, she has become an outsider.

It’s just like what my good sister said, these sons all forget their mothers after they get married.

Qi's mother was very angry and decided to come and see for herself. She had to kill Qin Shiman's arrogance and let her know that being a daughter-in-law means keeping a low profile.

Because of Qi's mother's sudden appearance and her domineering tone, Qin's father was very unhappy.

Qi Sheng was also a little unhappy. You know, now is the time when he needs help from Lao Qin. How could this woman be so ignorant?

But Qi Sheng considers himself a grown man and has to pay attention to his image outside. Qi Yuanhang doesn't know how to refute his mother's words.

Qin's father believed that a good man would not fight with a woman, and as a junior, Qin Shiman couldn't say anything back, so the atmosphere at the dinner table became tense for a moment.

Qi Yuanhang, who was a bit chauvinistic, felt that his mother had gone too far when he saw Qin Shiman's pitiful look next to him.

Although what his mother said was true, but, isn't it intentional to embarrass him by saying such things in public on this occasion?

So after glaring at his own mother, Qi Yuanhang turned around and gave Qin Shiman a smile that he thought was very gentlemanly: "Xiao Man, my mother is a straightforward person and doesn't have any other thoughts. You and uncle shouldn't take it to heart."

Originally, Father Qin was not very happy, but for the sake of his daughter, he just smiled and said:

"It's okay, Xiaohang. Your parents and I have known each other for many years. It's not a big deal to take such a small matter seriously. But your mom is right. I'll invite Xiaoman's mom to have a get-together for our two families some other day."
