“You have no right to accuse me because it was your Little Bean that changed him. Our Boyuan was such an innocent kid.” Gao Ran looked wronged.
“Birds of a feather flock together. Uncle Gao, my dad said it’s not that I influenced Boyuan, but that he already had the potential to act like this,” Little Bean retorted in her clear voice.
Gao Ran: “…”
“Little Bean is right,” with an ice cream cone in his hand, Gao Boyuan replied earnestly.
Instantly, everyone burst into laughter.
“Look at you, son. You’re not married yet, but already you work against your dad. Do you think it’s right?” Zhu Lingling didn’t know if she should cry or laugh.
“Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll take care of you and Dad even after I’m married,” Gao Boyuan said.
“Seeing these kids, I don’t want to have sons. They are ungrateful. I think I’d better have a daughter just like Little Bean. She’ll go and lure a boy from another family…” said Tang Chuan.
“Haha! Stop it, okay?” Qin Ning chortled.
“Uncle Tang, you mocked me again.” Little Bean glanced at Tang Chuan.
“Be a good girl and call me Uncle. I’ll buy you candies.” (TL Note: Uncle Tang is a polite term, but just uncle in this case meant uncle by family relation)
“Do I need candies from you? I won’t call you Uncle. After all, you’re not married to my aunt yet. I’ll call you Uncle after you officially become a member of our family.”
“Whoa. Unbelievable. Your Qin Family is so aggressive; even a three-year-old kid lectured me,” Tang Chuan complained.
“So, will you marry into our Qin Family or not?” Qin Ning asked with a smile.
“I will! I will!” Tang Chuan submitted spinelessly.
“Pudding, what are you busy doing? You didn’t speak a word.” Jiang Xiaowei found the super-smart Pudding didn’t talk much today.
She was doing something on her cellphone.
“Oh. I’m handling some trivial matters,” Pudding looked up and answered.
“Our Pudding is awesome. You’ll be surprised,” Su Yu said in a mysterious way.
“What’s it? You’re making Pudding a child star? An award-winning actress?” Wei Liao guessed.
“Of course not. Our Pudding will never enter the entertainment circle. Anyway, you just wait and see.”
Then, Su Yu and Pudding exchanged a smile as if they had a secret between them.
Other than Huo Mian and Xixi, who were pregnant, and the children, everyone else had taken quite a lot of beer.
What was a simple lunch extended all the way into the evening.
At 6:30 PM, Qin Chu checked his watch and thought it was almost time to end the meal.
“Guys, let’s continue tomorrow. I’ll hold a dinner party at South Hill Manor, and we can have more wine together,” Qin Chu said.
“Good! I’ll try my best to bankrupt you by drinking your most expensive liquor,” Gao Ran joked.
“No problem.”
“Zhixin, where’s Mom? Did you send her back?” Huo Mian looked at Zhixin.
“Yeah. I arranged a driver to send her to South Hill Manor. You’ll see her when you get home.”
“Okay.” Huo Mian nodded and felt happy that she would see the senior members of the family soon.
“Young Master Su, tell Auntie and Uncle Su that I’m back and will visit them soon.”
“Okay.”
“Grandpa Su doesn’t know about this incident, right?” Huo Mian asked.
“No. He’s been in an international meeting in Jing City and I didn’t tell him on the phone.”
“Good. Grandpa is old and I don’t want him to worry about us.” Huo Mian was satisfied.
“Handsome Su, you drank a lot today and can’t drive. I’ll get a designated driver for you,” Pudding said.
“It’s not necessary. An is outside waiting for me… We’ll go home directly.”
“Zhixin, you come with us to South Hill Manor.” Huo Mian glanced at Zhixin.
“Okay.”
“Bella, you come with us, too,” Huo Mian added.
Bella nodded, feeling a bit shy.
When they walked out, Gao Ran pulled Qin Chu to one side, wanting to talk to him in private.
