Chapter 878: Currying Favor with His Father-in-law

Wei Xiao didn’t know what this person was thinking. While it was very strange how this Qi family member was acting familiarly with him, there was no disadvantage to building a relations.h.i.+p with him.

The two were chatting, when the door was pushed open. When Qi Zhenbai saw his future father-in-law come in, he felt a little guilty.

Wei Xiao waved for Old Chi to come over, wanting him to get to know this person who was from the Qi family in the capital. Knowing this person would only benefit Old Chi. Wei Xiao called out, “Old Chi…”

Qi Zhenbai immediately got up and hurried to solicitously serve his future father-in-law tea, then pulled out a seat for him.

This series of actions stupefied Wei Xiao. For this Chief Qi to personally serve him tea so solicitously, was Old Chi going to ascend to heaven?

Wei Ting had also learned this person’s ident.i.ty from his father and was very respectful. Seeing this Qi family member fawning on Uncle Chi, Wei Ting immediately looked at Uncle Chi in shock.

Chi Lingyan was also very shocked when he saw that the man whom he had caught red-handed in his daughter’s room was at the Wei residence. He didn’t understand what kind of friends.h.i.+p Old Wei had with this rascal surnamed Qi.

Regardless of their friends.h.i.+p, Chi Lingyan didn’t like this kid. He snorted coldly and directly ignored the fawning of the man surnamed Qi in front of him.

Wei Xiao: …

Even Chi Shuyan didn’t expect to see this man at the Wei residence. What was he thinking?

She was also a bit befuddled.

Qi Zhenbai itched to go over to his wife and declare their relations.h.i.+p, but for the sake of his future father-in-law’s dignity, he didn’t move and instead took the initiative to talk to him!

Soon, Aunt Chang served the dishes and invited everyone to the table for dinner. When they sat down, Wei Xiao wanted this esteemed guest, Chief Qi, to sit at the head of the table.

Qi Zhenbai wanted to get close to his father-in-law, but also wanted to sit with his wife. He declined Commander Wei’s good intentions and “inadvertently” sat next to his wife.

Chi Lingyan stared at him. How could this kid surnamed Qi be so thick-skinned? How could Old Wei befriend such a person?

If he had known that this kid was here, he wouldn’t have come even if Old Wei came in person to invite him.

Wei Xiao felt that where Chief Qi was sitting was a little strange no matter how he looked at it. His eyes swept over Yan Yan and Chief Qi in front of him, and an absurd idea popped into his head. Seeing that Yan Yan and Chief Qi didn’t interact at all, however, Wei Xiao felt that it wasn’t very likely.

Wei Xiao really wanted to introduce Old Chi to this Chief Qi, so he hurriedly took the initiative to introduce him. “Chief Qi, this is Captain Chi from our military district. He has always had outstanding abilities!” After a pause, Wei Xiao said to Chi Lingyan, “Old Chi, this is…”

Without waiting for Commander Wei’s introduction, Qi Zhenbai took the initiative to pour a cup of wine for his future father-in-law and toasted him. He bent as low as possible and said, “Dad, no, Captain Chi, I’ve long heard of your great name. My surname is Qi and my name is Zhenbai. You can call me by my name directly!”

Qi Zhenbai had wanted to call him Father-in-law or Dad, but he was afraid that he would be kicked out again. There was no hurry; he had to take it one step at a time.

Wei Xiao: …

The corners of Chi Lingyan’s mouth twitched violently at that “Dad.” He really didn’t want to give this thick-skinned kid in front of him any face, but he was still shocked by Old Wei’s words just now.

He hadn’t thought much of it when the other party said that his surname was Qi. Now that he thought about it, Chi Lingyan couldn’t help but think of the capital’s number one family, the Qi family, and the venerable General Qi. His face changed drastically and his pupils contracted sharply. He subconsciously looked at his daughter with a face full of doubts, and Chi Shuyan hurriedly buried her head in her food.

Even while they were talking, Qi Zhenbai still subconsciously paid attention to his wife’s favorite dishes and was about to put food in his wife’s bowl. However, on the side, Chang Qing hadn’t forgotten about this daughter-in-law, Yan Yan, and she suddenly opened her mouth to prompt her eldest son, “Ah Ting, Yan Yan likes meatb.a.l.l.s. Aren’t you going to give her a few meatb.a.l.l.s?”

Qi Zhenbai: …
