The elevator door closed, perhaps considering that he would see his family later, Qi Jiahe didn't say anything ugly in the end, but just instructed in a cold voice: "Smile more later, don't keep a bitter face, it's unlucky." ”

Shi Yin raised his eyes and glanced at his side face, feeling a little stupid in his heart, why don't you tell yourself this sentence.

But she still pulled her lips as much as she could, so that the muscles on her face didn't look so stiff.

The elevator doors opened, revealing a brightly lit scene inside.

In the spacious hall, the noisy voices of people fall into the ears from time to time, and the bustling crystal chandeliers wind down from the ceiling on the top floor, and the bright yellow lights make everything present look a little intoxicating.

Qi Jiahe was the first to get out of the elevator, Shi Yin raised his legs to follow, and walked side by side with him, a faint smile had already appeared on the corner of his lips, and Amu followed behind the two with gifts.

One is tall and stylish, the other is gentle and dependent, in anyone's opinion, these two are a perfect match.

Everyone present had already seen the three of them at a glance, and the first one who came to greet him with a smile was a middle-aged man, his face was faintly sickly pale, but it was about good maintenance, he didn't look old, but when he squinted and laughed, there would be shallow wrinkles at the end of his eyes.

"Jiahe, why are you here so late?" the man beckoned to Qi Jiahe, and quickly walked over, with a happy expression on his face.

"Something was delayed on the way. Qi Jiahe smiled lightly, politely bowed his head to the other party, and slightly tilted his head to Shi Yin, and introduced: "This is Shi Yin." ”

"You're Jiahe's wife, right?" The man smiled heartily and nodded to Shi Yin, without any meaning of being angry, "This is the first time we have met, I am his eldest brother, Qi Dongqing." ”

Qi Zhengrong originally had two sons, but unfortunately the younger son died early, and the huge family business of the Qi family could only be inherited by the only remaining eldest son, Qi Hai. In Qi Jiahe's generation, Qi Hai has four more children, Qi Jiahe is the third, with an older brother and a sister above, and a younger brother below.

Because Qi Hai has had two marriages, the age span of the four children under his knees is a bit large, and the eldest Qi Dongqing is in his forties and has a daughter. The youngest Qi Shaoyu is only 25, only two years older than Shi Yin.

These are all news that can be heard from the outside world, and they are not very unusual.

Rumor has it that Qi Jiahe has been studying abroad since he was a child and only returned to China at the age of nine. He has been extremely low-key since he came to power, so there is very little information about him.

Seeing that the other party took the initiative to introduce himself, Shi Yin also smiled and bowed slightly, and said politely: "Hello big brother." ”

Presumably, the Qi family knew that she, a cheap daughter-in-law, was not very treated by Qi Jiahe, but Qi Dongqing was so polite to her as soon as they met, which she never expected.

Anyway, this beginning made Shi Yin let go of a little apprehension, and involuntarily began to imagine what the attitude of the Qi family she saw next would be towards her.

Gradually, soon other people noticed Qi Jiahe's appearance, and people came forward to say hello one after another.

Most of these people are famous families in Jiangcheng, or Qi Lao's best friends when he was young, and their eyesight is very good, and no one takes the initiative to ask about Shi Yin's identity. Qi Jiahe didn't introduce Shi Yin to others anymore, but just greeted others politely.

Shi Yin followed him and called this uncle and that uncle, he was a little dazzled, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart how Qi Jiahe had memorized so many people.

Suddenly, I heard an old and majestic voice coming from behind, with a faint anger, loud and sonorous: "Qi Laosan, do you see that I can't move on crutches, and I don't even bother to pretend? If you don't come upstairs to see me first, you have to let me, the birthday star, come to greet you in person, right?"

The large living room fell silent at once, and everyone looked towards the source of the sound.

Shi Yin and Qi Jiahe turned around at the same time, and saw a gray-haired old man sitting in a wheelchair, pushed by a beautiful woman in her thirties, and stopped not far behind the two.

The old man is in good spirits, although he looks at his age, but his eyes are sharp, lean and capable, and he is quite a little not angry and arrogant.

The voices of the crowd came and went, and they all called: "Elder Qi." ”

Qi Jiahe lowered his eyebrows, bent down slightly towards the old man, and shouted in a straight voice: "Grandpa." ”

Shi Yin was still stunned, but he had already involuntarily bowed to the old man with Qi Jiahe.

The person who came was the old man of the Qi family who had a relationship with her - Qi Zhengrong.

"Do you still know that I am your grandfather? I don't recognize your six relatives when your wings are stiff!" Qi Zhengrong's eyes widened angrily, looking very angry, "If Holly hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that you would have dared to come! You are late for Grandpa's birthday, so I am really reluctant to teach you a lesson, right?"

Qi Jiahe lowered his eyebrows, neither annoyed nor defended, but said softly: "What you taught is this." ”

It was the first time Shi Yin had seen Qi Jiahe look so obedient, and she glanced at him sideways with some surprise, but saw that he didn't squint, his gaze always fell steadily on the old man, and the expression on his face was respectful and rigorous that she had never seen before.

At this moment, she seemed to finally understand why even Qi Jiahe, who was so individualistic, was willing to endure his dislike for her and get a certificate with her.

He maintains absolute obedience and respect for Qi Zhengrong, and will not disobey him at all.

Even if the old man's order made him extremely resistant, he would agree.

But it was not Qi Jiahe's fault that he was late today, but he was reprimanded by the old man in front of everyone.

Shi Yin felt a little guilty in her heart, if she hadn't poked out such a big basket, everything would have gone smoothly today.

At that time, if she had restrained her emotions and had not poured Song Rong's coffee, then everything that followed would not have happened.

Thinking of this, she said softly: "Grandpa, don't blame him, if I hadn't delayed the time today, we wouldn't have been late." I'll give you a compensation, I hope you don't get angry. ”

She bowed slightly to the old man, an apologetic smile on her face.

Qi Jiahe looked sideways at her side face, her eyes were deep, and she was surging with complex emotions that were dark and difficult to discern.

Qi Zhengrong obviously didn't expect Shi Yin to say this, his expression was a little stunned, and his eyes quickly turned to her face.

"In the end, an ordinary girl who has never seen anything in the world, can be late for this kind of occasion, it can be seen that she doesn't take the old man to heart at all. ”

After a soft snort, a disdainful smile appeared on the face of the woman who had pushed the wheelchair for the old man, and her words were full of thorns.
