Chapter 1568: You Are My Little Love Song (135)
But he and Shi Niange…?!
How did these two unrelated children end up together? Right now, the Shi family and the Qin family didn’t seem to have any important cooperation. Even if they had considerations, they were only involved with some small companies and institutions. However, there was definitely no large-scale cooperation worth mentioning above, but they actually…
“Dad, we used to be classmates. We’re both at the Medical University now.” Shi Niange couldn’t bring herself to poke at her father’s face in public, but she was secretly pointing at him. As he and her mother were usually too busy, they didn’t care much about her matters. At most, they only cared about her verbally. In fact, they didn’t take her matters to heart, so they didn’t even know which classmates she had with her in high school.
Even if it was another parent, if they knew that their daughter was classmates with the Qin family’s son, they would have remembered it. However, Father Shi clearly did not know.
Even if he had heard of it before, he definitely did not take it to heart.
“So?” Although Father Shi felt that this scene did not seem to be good for the Tang family, the people in front of him were from the Qin family after all. He definitely could not hurt Young Master Qin’s face. He could only bite the bullet and ask, “Nian Nian, you and Qin…”
“Uncle Shi, I heard that you and Auntie have returned to the country. The student council matters at the school are a little complicated. I blame myself for not having the time to visit the two of you in the past two days. Today, I heard that Uncle came to the hotel for a meal. I was afraid that the employees of the hotel would neglect you, so I rushed over. It was too rushed and I really didn’t have much preparation. I’ll definitely prepare well in the future.” As Qin Siting spoke, his gaze landed on Shi Niange’s face. “Although you’re rarely in the country, Nian Nian often talks about Uncle and Auntie.”
The meaning behind his words was too deep. On one hand, it helped Qin Siting to be polite and considerate. On the other hand, it also clearly showed his position and did not hurt Father Shi’s face.
There was no doubt that he was Shi Niange’s boyfriend.
Father Shi did not lose any face. Although the incident happened suddenly, his expression was still good. However, it was clear that he was not mentally prepared. Especially since the other party was from the Qin family… the impact was too great.
“Dad, after eighteen years old, you can’t be considered a child or a puppy love, right? Qin Siting and I have been together for a long time. I originally wanted to tell you, but when you and Mom came back, you didn’t tell me in advance. Today afternoon was too sudden. Indeed, we weren’t prepared.” As Shi Niange spoke, she turned to look at the only embarrassed Father Tang. “Uncle Tang, I’m sorry.”
Father Tang quickly said, “It’s fine, it’s fine. Since you’re here, let’s sit down and eat together. Didn’t you say you would be returning to school at a later time? Tang Shao, don’t just stand there. Come over and join us.”
With that, Father Tang pulled the chair by his side and did not urge Tang Shao to sit with Shi Niange. He used his gaze to tell him to sit by the side.
It was clear that no matter what he wanted to do, he did not dare to cross the mountain of the Qin family in front of him. Even if he did, it would be difficult for him to cross it. He might not be able to bear the consequences. Everything had happened too suddenly. He could only stabilize himself and not act rashly.
Tang Shao’s expression was neither green nor white, but it was clear that he had been suppressing his anger at the door. When he saw that his father, who usually took the initiative, was letting him sit over, his expression instantly turned ugly.
“That’s right. Sit down. We’re all on the same side anyway.” Shi Niange could not bear to let Qin Siting stand there being stared at by her father and Father Tang. She quickly pulled him to sit on the nearest chair by her father’s side.
“Does this mean that Mr. Qin, Tang Shao, and Nian Nian were all in the same school?” Mr. Tang asked with a smile to ease the awkwardness.
Tang Shao did not speak. A waiter by the side came to pour tea for him. As soon as it was poured, he picked it up and drank a cup. He then put down the cup, his eyes full of suppressed unhappiness.
Shi Niange pretended not to see the movements on Tang Shao’s side. She only raised her eyes and said to Father Tang, “Yes, but Tang Shao was not in the same class as us. Qin Siting and I were in the same class, and we were deskmates.”
“Your mother and I actually didn’t know about this.” Father Shi finally found his voice.
“En, at that time, you and Mom were also abroad,” Shi Niange said as she looked at her father with a smile. “Dad, we’re still young. Our future is still long. Furthermore, we’ve always thought that it wasn’t a suitable time to meet you and Mom, but today was too sudden. Don’t mind us seeing you in such a hurry.”
“I don’t mind, I don’t mind. Why would I mind?” Father Shi nodded and then turned to look at Father Tang.
Father Tang was still smiling, and there was no expression on his face. As he spoke with a smile, he could hear some strange meaning in his words: “Although Young Master Qin rarely appears in the business circle, he is still young and promising. His name is very well-known in the circle. Many wealthy families and the young ladies from the Qin family’s partners are all attracted to his name. A few years ago, I always thought that Young Master Qin was young. Now that I think about it, he should be around twenty years old. He is indeed approaching the age to discuss marriage. I’m afraid that when the time comes, the line of beauties who wish to marry into the Qin family will circle around Hai City several times.”
Qin Siting sat on the chair. A waiter came to pour tea for him. After all, he was the young master of the Qin family, who rarely showed his face. In the circle, the rich and famous all addressed each other the son of so and so. These were all normal appearances in the circle, but these words did not sound so polite from Father Tang.
Qin Siting held the cup with one hand and stared at it with his slightly lowered eyes. From beginning to end, he did not give Father Tang a second glance. The tea was filled to the brim. His long fingers rubbed against the cup wall before his gaze landed on the Tang father and son across from him. He smiled and answered Father Tang’s words.
“I can’t compare to Young Master Tang.”
Although he sounded humble, he was actually mocking Tang Shao.
The Tang father and son were well aware of how Tang Shao pushed away Shi Niange, this fat piece of meat that was about to reach his mouth.
Tang Shao raised his brows and suddenly looked at him. Qin Siting did not mind.
At this moment, Father Tang raised his glass. “It’s really rare to see you today. Mr. Qin, I wonder if you can give me some face to drink a few cups of tea. Let’s forget about this tea. There are so many glasses of wine on the table. This is also the first time you’ve seen your girlfriend’s father. Although you said that you didn’t have much time, you should at least drink this wine, right? Otherwise, isn’t it too insincere? Nian Nian, a fine young lady, has followed you so innocently…”
At this moment, Father Shi’s expression suddenly fell. Father Tang’s words seemed to be saying how far his daughter had progressed with Qin Siting.
“Of course.” Qin Siting nimbly picked up the wine glass by the side, then carelessly loosened the second button on his shirt collar. He lowered his eyes to pour himself a glass of wine. After pouring it, his eyes revealed some deep meaning. “Two uncles, please give me face. As a junior, I’m fine with drinking as much as I want. As long as Young Master Tang knows how to judge the situation, don’t always have designs on other people’s girlfriends. Otherwise, when our Nian Nian’s temper rises, even I can’t suppress it.”
