Only now did Principal Cao looked up, smiled as he nodded at Ye Zhifan, whose expression was slightly cold; he then turned towards Old Jiang again: “Yu Xiang can’t attend to so much alone, you should help her out.”
Yu Xiang, last name Cao, Old Jiang’s wife, and also Principal Cao’s niece.
At this time, waves were roiling in Ye Zhifan’s heart, Old Jiang and Principal Cao’s relationship… uncle and nephew? When he investigated Old Jiang’s family, he knew that his wife was Old Mister Cao’s grand-niece, but he really didn’t know… Principal Cao was actually also a member of the Cao family!
Old Jiang didn’t dare remain any longer. After giving a look at Ye Zhifan, he walked out and gently closed the door behind him while he was at it, only then did he manage to calm his nerves. When he just raised his head, he was so shocked by the figure that was three steps away from him till he almost passed out.
…Qin Xiu, the Qin family’s authentic… young master!
Cold sweat gradually formed on his back, luckily, luckily… Luckily, the Second Uncle didn’t walk in and didn’t see Qin Yi, who was sitting inside; luckily, Qin Xiu didn’t come together with him…
“Uncle, my mother is coming, I’ll be going.” Under the bright illumination of the crystal lamps, the tall and slender Qin Xiu had a handsome face. He stood under the light like a jade statue; all the passing guests couldn’t help but to look his way; all of them had stunned looks in their eyes because of his existence.
The genuine Young Master of the Qin family was right before his eyes, with his heart palpitating weakly, Old Jiang secretly wiped off his cold sweat. Although he was the in-law with the Cao family, he really didn’t have any sort of familial relationship with Qin Xiu.
Without daring to speak another word, he brushed past Qin Xiu’s shoulder and escaped quickly.
Principal Cao, who noticed an unusual look on Old Jiang’s expression, didn’t think too much about it; he just assumed it was a private meeting between a businessman and a government official and was slightly awkward because he had bumped into them. However, because the government official he was meeting with was Ye Zhifan, and having a bad impression on him, Principal Cao furrowed his brows unnoticeably. He has decided to take some time later and give the husband of his niece a reminder.
Noticing his nephew Qin Xiu was heading towards the staircase, Principal Cao caught up with a few steps; he spoke with a bit of laughter, “Your mother rushed here hastily, and then she’ll be leaving urgently to the capital and not even staying here for one night, … I’m afraid she’ll be reprimanded by your Grandpa again, I’ll have to give her a heads-up and let her please your Grandpa some more.”
The duo who left together didn’t notice the private booth door behind them was only closed now, pushing down the roiling waves in his heart. Ye Zhifan returned to his seat and chatted with Qin Yi; he then directed the topic onto Principal Cao as if he did it unintentionally.
“Principal Cao you mentioned is my Second Uncle, my Grandpa has two sons and daughters, Second Uncle is the third child.” Qin Yi had always loved to come and go with the Cao family, any relative that had close ties with Qin Xiu, he too would have similar ties with them.
Ye Zhifan, who was listening with taut heartstrings, slowly sipped on his white wine… in that case, it was a good thing he had been careful. When Principal Cao didn’t give him any face and expelled Ying Ying, no matter how angry he was, he had swallowed his rage down.
It was a good thing he had swallowed his rage. Otherwise… he would have crossed the Cao family.
The private booth conversation was already talking about Ye Ying wanting to enlist into the Beijing Political Party when a silver card was nudged towards him. Qin Yi glanced at the so-called ‘a little gift’ from Sun Dongqing’s mouth, while his heart was already whistling a tune.
Meeting with government officials was quite interesting; all of them knew how to give gifts.
He took the bank card without being courteous at all, he then smiled with a sure look: “That’ll be an easy thing, Director Ye, try to give me your daughter’s details as soon as possible, based on my experience, someone like Director Ye’s daughter who had such temperaments, getting into the Beijing Political Party, and staying in the capital wouldn’t be a problem.”
“You’re saying Ye Zhifan wanted to send his daughter into the Beijing Political Party?” Principal Cao, who managed to seize an opportunity downstairs, now stared coldly at his nephew-in-law, even his voice was wrapped in frost, “You don’t even have a diamond cutter, and you dared try to take jobs of mending porcelain?”
