Chapter 57 An absent-minded dinner party
"Hello, Mr. Jiang, I am Qin Yuan, Song Meiliu's college classmate, ex-boyfriend, and current boyfriend. Nice to meet you."
Qin Yuan gave a funny introduction in a serious manner, and at the end he nodded politely to her.
It was the first time Jiang Qiuqi saw a couple of her mother's generation, and she didn't know where to put her hands.
"Go in first? Liangliang said she won't arrive for more than ten minutes."
Song Meiliu let go of Qin Yuan and came over to hold Jiang Qiuqi's arm.
"No, no need, you go in first, I'll wait for my mother with me!"
Jiang Qiuqi hurriedly refused.
How much torture would it be to have to stay with them for more than ten minutes?
Seeing that Song Meiliu was still hesitating, she took two more steps outside.
"I'll call my mother, you just go up first."
Song Meiliu didn't try to persuade her anymore, and went in hand in hand with Qin Yuan.
Jiang Qiuqi dialed his mother's phone number.
"Dear mother, where have you been?"
Her tone was soft and a little coquettish.
"Why, have you met your baby mother and her boyfriend?" Tang Zhiliang knew what was going on as soon as he heard it.
"Yes, Mom, haven't you met two days ago? Why do you want to have dinner together today?"
Jiang Qiuqi vaguely remembered that she used Song Meiliu as a shield on Saturday, which made Tang Zhiliang anxious.
"Oh my God, the meeting wasn't formal enough. I wanted to take you with me today. I originally wanted to call you dad, but he is my boss... forget it."
"...That's it."
Your mother may not know yet, but she is also the boss of Song Meiliu...
"I'm almost there, please wait for me for a little while."
After Tang Zhiliang finished explaining, he hung up the phone.
"Sister, do you want to buy flowers?" A little girl suddenly came out of the corner and hugged Jiang Qiuqi's leg.
"It's a carnation. Mom likes carnations."
She raised her little face with a look of anticipation, holding Jiang Qiuqi's legs with both hands and rocking from side to side.
Jiang Qiuqi knelt down and looked at the little girl carefully.
Big eyes, pink lips, two braids with bows tied on them.
"Sister, this is the last one. You bought it for your mother, okay?"
She asked in a sweet voice.
"Good boy, where are your parents? Why are you allowed to sell flowers alone?"
Jiang Qiuqi was worried about the little girl who had been abducted and asked patiently.
"Pingping doesn't have a mother, so my father asked me to come."
Jiang Qiuqi looked at the girl's little face and felt a little distressed.
"How much did it cost you?"
"30 yuan!"
"...?"
Jiang Qiuqi was about to scan the QR code to pay when he heard the price.
"Xiao Qi? What are you doing squatting there?"
Tang Zhiliang is here.
"Mom! You're here."
When Jiang Qiuqi stood up to say hello, the little girl ran away in a flash.
"What happened?" Tang Zhiliang looked at the disappearing figure.
"Nothing, let's go in."
The mother and daughter went upstairs to meet Song Meiliu.
"2091, please come in."
As soon as Tang Zhiliang entered the private room, his steps froze.
"What's wrong...Mom..." Jiang Qiuqi came in and was also stunned on the spot.
In the room, Song Meiliu and Qin Yuan were hugging each other and kissing each other. Their faces were flushed and they were getting closer and closer.
"Ahem..." Tang Zhiliang turned his head unnaturally.
"...You guys are here." Song Meiliu pushed the person aside, brushed her bangs, and pretended to be calm.
Jiang Qiuqi followed Tang Zhiliang and laughed awkwardly twice before finally taking a seat.
Several dishes were served, and several people began to use their chopsticks.
Jiang Qiuqi picked up a piece of salmon, dangled it on his chopsticks, and frowned as the three adults exchanged pleasantries.
"Are you doing drug research? You're good at drug research, but you don't usually go anywhere else except the laboratory, right?"
Tang Zhiliang put a piece of sushi into his mouth and nodded.
It's obviously the person she introduced, but she still doesn't know what the other person does?
"He doesn't have much time on weekdays. He is in the laboratory on Saturdays and Sundays."
Song Meiliu smiled so hard that wrinkles almost appeared.
What's going on? They're not so polite usually. Jiang Qiuqi couldn't figure it out even if he thought about it.
"By the way, have you visited Xiaoqi's company?"
Tang Zhiliang directed the topic to Jiang Qiuqi, which scared her so much that she quickly put down her chopsticks.
"Oh~ I went to see it. It's pretty good. It looks younger. Did you go too?"
Song Meiliu was startled at first, then immediately reacted and covered Jiang Qiuqi.
"I haven't done any research on the Internet. Do you know what kind of recruitment they are doing and is it in line with the development trend?"
"Well... I work in administration, and these are not my main responsibilities. If you have to ask me to tell you, it's definitely okay."
Song Meiliu's answer was impeccable.
While Tang Zhilian was picking up vegetables, she gave Jiang Qiuqi a meaningful look.
After the whole meal, Jiang Qiuqi didn't know what was on the menu or whether she was full. She was on alert the whole time, fearing that Tang Zhiliang would discover something by accident.
"Should I send you back?"
The four of them stood at the door of the hotel. Song Meiliu looked at Tang Zhiliang and asked.
"No, we can just go back by ourselves. You go first and let me know when you get home."
Tang Zhiliang gave gentle advice.
Song Meiliu was no longer polite, took Qin Yuan's arm and left.
The little girl who ran away just now appears again.
"Sister, buy a flower for mom. It only costs 10 yuan."
Jiang Qiuqi knelt down again and looked at her with a smile: "Why did the price drop after only two hours?"
"Dad said that if you can't sell it, you can't eat it. Ping Ping is hungry."
The little girl pouted and licked her lips when talking about eating.
"Okay, sister, buy it."
Jiang Qiuqi accepted his fate. If you are cheated, just be cheated. Who hasn't been fooled by a cute person?
"Dad, Dad, Ping Ping is sold out!" The little girl ran away happily and hugged a man's leg.
"Ping Ping is so awesome, she can really sell out." The man knelt down and petted the girl's head lovingly.
"And if Ping Ping persists, she is indeed a good candidate for big things. Dad will buy you a piano tomorrow, and we will be grand pianists, okay?"
When Jiang Qiuqi saw the man, she originally wanted to chase him and educate him, but now she realized that this was a father testing his daughter.
The man lifted the girl high and put her on his neck.
