Chapter 862: Chapter 864: Entering the Room (10)
On the third night, Qin Zhigu still stuck to the original plan of inviting Cai Yiren’s family over.
At this ti, Bai Changyou was already preparing to transfer his assets out of the country, but if he could establish a connection with the Qin Family, he wouldn’t mind continuing the cooperation. Moreover, the Qin Family also had a certain interest in the Australian market, which was exactly the direction he was striving towards. Thus, the visits hadn’t been in vain for Bai Changyou, who seriously discussed business with Qin Weijian.
As for Cai’s mother, although Kong Jie was gentle by nature, she didn’t entertain just anyone. After exchanging a few pleasantries, she lost interest. Cai’s mother had followed Bai Changyou for many years and had seen much of the world, but she was not as cultivated as Lu Weixi’s mother, who hailed from a family of scholars and could find more common ground with Kong Jie.
Cai’s mother could sense that the Qin Family held themselves in high regard and were of high social status; they barely paid any attention to her, let alone to Bai Changyou. Not to ntion Qin Zhigu who was Qin Weijian’s treasured son and very likely to inherit the Qin estate in the future. Even Lu Weixi’s original status barely held up in front of the Qin Family, let alone Cai Yiren?
Over these three days, aside from writing his thesis, there was almost no need for Zhisu to stay at school. Yet, he reported in promptly during the day, returned on ti at night, and still invited Cai Yiren’s family over for als, which was even more diligent than his previous studying days. But with Wei Hui not going to school during the day and Zhiyou not returning at night, he didn’t have the nerve to ask. The behavior was so obvious that even Kong Jie couldn’t help but gently remind him, “Zhisu, your Uncle Bai has to work too, isn’t it tiring for them to co over every day?”
“Eh, how could it be tiring? It’s all for the children,” Bai Changyou imdiately shook his head.
Kong Jie stayed silent at this side, although Wei Hui had caused such trouble and lost face for the second branch of the family. Still, she felt a desire to criticize internally; Wei Hui was his biological daughter, yet now he seed to care more about an adopted daughter than his own flesh and blood, which showed how cold-hearted he was.
Cai Yiren noticed that Qin Zhigu had a bit of guilt and imdiately approached and asked timidly, “Did we disturb you?”
“No,” Qin Zhigu shook his head.
He turned to look at Cai Yiren, and although the two of them were “officially” together, had t each other’s parents, classmates, and all other friends and relatives, they both knew it was nothing more than a whim of his. But Cai Yiren never complained and didn’t fight for anything for herself. Sotis, she even spoke on behalf of Lu Weixi.
Back then, Qin Zhigu hadn’t seen through her act, thinking she was genuinely there for him and that she was sincerely kind and timid. He felt sorry for her. The less she fought, the more guilty he felt.
“Indeed, it’s been tough on you, having to make the long trip every day.”
“Not at all, I’m honored, and Uncle Bai is also very willing. Besides, if it weren’t for this, I… might not even be able to get close to you. I am very grateful.”
The more Qin Zhigu thought about her devoted and unassuming manner, the greater his guilt grew. He even began to wonder—had he not t Lu Weixi, would he actually have been moved by her?
These past few days, Qin Zhigu had gone from initially looking forward to Zhiyou’s appearance, to gradually losing interest, and now, only a slight embarrassnt remained.
“No, I’m the one who’s grateful to you.”
As he was speaking, the roaring of a car engine ca from outside. Zhiyou had returned.
