Chapter 880: Qi Zhenbai’s Possessive Streak
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After listening to Uncle Chi’s words, Wei Ting’s face flushed even more and he hesitated. Sister Shuyan was very beautiful and had a very good personality, and lately, his heart thumped nervously whenever he was with her. However, he still couldn’t change his mindset, and still regarded Shuyan as his sister.
Chi Shuyan subconsciously glanced at the eldest brother of the Wei family. He looked more embarra.s.sed than anything else, and his eyes were calm. She heaved a sigh of relief. Now that she had a boyfriend, she didn’t want to attract any more peach blossoms. The eldest brother of the Wei family was such a good person, and she didn’t want to provoke him for no reason.
The two parties involved didn’t have that intention, but their parents wouldn’t let go of this opportunity easily, especially Chang Qing, who had been longing for Shuyan to become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wei family. She was very excited when she heard Old Chi’s words.
If it wasn’t for the fact that there was a guest present, Chang Qing would have immediately settled the matter for both children there and then.
On the side, Wei Xiao also heard his wife’s conversation with Old Chi, but he subconsciously kept staring at Chief Qi in front of him. He felt that Chief Qi’s att.i.tude toward Old Chi was too unbelievable. Plus, that “Dad” slip had made him jump in fright.
After staring at him for a while, however, he didn’t notice anything strange on Chief Qi’s face at all. The man looked very calm and collected, though he was smiling much less.
Wei Xiao stared at Chief Qi and Yan Yan in front of him for a while. The two didn’t communicate at all, not even to exchange the barest of glances – was he mistaken?
But he felt that something was off.
At that moment, Chang Qing was too excited. She hurriedly elbowed Old Wei and blurted out, “Old Wei, what do you think of Yan Yan and Ah Ting together? Are they a good match?”
Only after saying that did Chang Qing realize that there was also an esteemed guest at the dining table. Although she didn’t know his real ident.i.ty, seeing how respectful Old Wei was and how he addressed this junior as “Chief,” Chang Qing still said respectfully, “Chief Qi, please make yourself at home and eat more. This daughter is so good, I have to have her for my son!” With that, she said to Father Chi, “Right, Old Chi?”
Father Chi glanced indifferently at the man in front of him, whose face was stiff, before he directly ignored him. He had always been upright and didn’t care what ident.i.ty a person had. The most important thing was that he wanted his daughter to be happy. Compared with this man, he really thought more highly of Wei Ting.
Even if this person was really related to the Qi family, which was a big family in the capital, Father Chi was worried about his daughter marrying into some rich family. The Wei family was still the best. They were simple in manner and knew how to conduct themselves. Hearing Chang Qing’s words, he echoed, “Indeed, I also think highly of Ah Ting. His character is good and outstanding. If the two of them really get together, it will be a blessing to Yan Yan!”
Wei Ting hurriedly demurred awkwardly. “Uncle Chi, I’m not that good!”
Chi Shuyan: …
She suddenly felt too guilty and didn’t dare look at the man next to her.
Qi Zhenbai truly understood for the first time the feeling of being disliked by his future father-in-law. He regretted rashly entering his wife’s room last night. He had been caught redhanded by his father-in-law, which hadn’t left a good impression on the latter.
It could be said that his intestines had turned green with regret.
Qi Zhenbai’s calm face almost cracked when he saw his father-in-law repeatedly praise another man and even plan to match him with his wife. His breath was stuck in his chest, and his fingers under the table creaked as he clenched them.
He couldn’t stand anyone trying to matchmake his wife, and his possessive streak was very strong. At that moment, he suddenly said in all seriousness, “Actually, I don’t think the two of them are compatible. The age difference seems a bit too big.. I do have a girl cousin who is just the right age and should be very compatible with Commander Wei’s son.” After a pause, Qi Zhenbai continued to say to his future father-in-law, “As for Captain Chi’s daughter, my family also has someone who is very compatible with her, as long as Captain Chi agrees!”
