Qian Sanyi came home from school alone. As soon as he walked downstairs, he saw his father Qian Yukun's car.
When he came home, he found his father and mother sitting in the living room. The couple stared at each other with big eyes and no one spoke. The house was eerily quiet and filled with an awkward atmosphere.
"Sanyi is back!" Qian Yukun saw his son entering the door and stood up quickly to break the awkwardness.
"Why are you here?" Qian Sanyi asked nonchalantly.
"Why can't I come over? I'm your dad, can't I come over to see you?" Qian Yukun said in a flattering tone.
Qian Sanyi changed into slippers, and Qian Yukun said affectionately: "Sanyi, dad knows that you study hard, so he specially bought some supplements and asks your mom to stew them for you."
Qian Sanyi frowned and said, "I don't need to eat those things."
"No! You have a heavy study task now and consume a lot of mental energy. There is no harm in taking more supplements." Qian Yukun said with a smile.
Qian Sanyi never refused his father's kindness.
Pei Yin said at this time: "Your things have been delivered, and my son has seen them, so please take them back!"
"No! You see it's already dinner time. Our family hasn't had a meal together for a long time. Why don't I treat you and let's go to a restaurant together." Qian Yukun looked at his watch and said.
"The food in the restaurant outside is not clean. I have already prepared dinner." Pei Yin frowned.
"Okay, let's eat at home." Qian Yukun said with a smile.
"Don't you need to go back? She just lost her child not long ago." Pei's voice paused. She had no intention of leaving money for Yukun to eat.
Not long ago, the woman outside Qian Yukun's family had a miscarriage because the child could not be saved. She was probably too sad. She came over to make trouble with Pei Yin and Qian Sanyi, but was pulled back by Qian Yukun.
From then on, Qian Yukun never had a peaceful life, and he ran away from his son just to hide from his family.
Qian Sanyi remembered what Wang Gang had said before, and happened to have the opportunity to ask his father.
"Mom, let's have dinner together tonight!"
Qian Yukun was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Look, my son has agreed. I'll order takeout and add some dishes."
"Takeaway is even more unhealthy." Pei Yin said displeased.
"I'll eat takeout, and I'll eat if it's not healthy." Qian Yukun said nonchalantly.
Qian Yukun called a familiar restaurant and ordered two dishes to be delivered. If he hadn't been driving at night, he would have even wanted to drink some wine.
At the dinner table, except for Qian Yukun, a family of three who was a little excited, Qian Sanyi and Pei Yin looked very dull.
Qian Sanyi also told what happened in Jiang's kitchen.
"Jiang's Kitchen is run by my classmate's house. Can you please be careful not to hit their house?" Qian Sanyi said to Qian Yukun.
Qian Yukun slowly put down his chopsticks and looked at his son in surprise.
"Don't you have a bad relationship with that Jiang Tianhao?"
"Jiang Tianhao is my friend." Qian Sanyi stated the facts.
Qian Yukun said: "I invested a lot of money in the early stage to acquire Jiangjia Kitchen. If I stop now, I will suffer a huge loss."
Qian Sanyi said in confusion: "With so many profitable businesses, why do you have to focus on Jiang's kitchen?"
Qian Yukun explained: "Actually, I purchased Jiangjia Kitchen for your sake!"
"Me!" Qian Sanyi said unexpectedly: "What does it have to do with me?"
Qian Yukun said: "Isn't that Jiang Tianhao always ranked first in the exam, so he's overpowering you! If something happens to his family, he won't have time to study, and you will be ranked first!"
Qian Sanyi and Pei Yin were stunned at the same time.
After working on it for a long time, Qian Yukun kept staring at Jiang's kitchen for this reason.
"I don't need your help." Qian Sanyi said angrily: "If I want to defeat Jiang Tianhao, I will also use upright methods. This is an ineffective way of winning. I won't be happy even if I win."
Pei Yin agreed: "My son is right, it's just about studying, how can you still cause so much trouble!"
In fact, Qian Yukun just took a fancy to Jiang's Kitchen's signature, and it was just an excuse to help his son.
"I'm riding a tiger now and it's hard to get off!" Qian Yukun complained: "The company invested so much money in the early stage and now gives up. How can I explain it to my partners? I can't just fill in the bill myself!"
Qian Sanyi asked in confusion: "How much money did you invest?"
Qian Yukun said: "I have invested more than 20 million yuan in it, and I still owe a lot of favors."
"So many?" Qian Sanyi asked in surprise.
Qian Yukun nodded and said: "Do you think it is easy to acquire a company? I have invested a lot of money and time this year. If I give up, I will definitely lose everything.
No matter how strong our family background is, more than 20 million is not a small amount."
Qian Sanyi frowned and said, "Isn't there a way to get the best of both worlds?"
Qian Yukun rolled his eyes and said: "Sanyi, since that Jiang Tianhao is your friend, then you can help Dad connect the dots. I am really sincere in cooperating with Jiangjia Kitchen. We can make money together!"
Before Qian Sanyi spoke, Pei Yin said directly: "Academics are the most important thing. Sanyi is now in the second year of high school. It is the most important time. How can you be distracted by such things? Handle your own business, don't take Sanyi's idea.
"
Qian Yukun smiled and said, "Okay, I'll handle it myself."
Qian Sanyi was in a bit of a dilemma. He had friends on one side and his father on the other. It was really difficult for him to be caught in the middle.
After dinner, Qian Yukun drove away. Qian Sanyi thought about it again and gave Wang Gang a call.
"I'm sorry, I can't change my dad's decision. He still wants to buy Jiangjia Kitchen." Qian Sanyi apologized.
"This has nothing to do with you. As I said before, your dad is your dad and you are you." Wang Gang said nonchalantly:
"I just hope your dad doesn't regret it."
Qian Sanyi worried: "Is there really no way to get the best of both worlds?"
"Shopping malls are like battlefields. Since you don't want to inherit your father's business, don't worry about it so much." Wang Gang said.
Qian Sanyi was silent for a long time, and finally he could only sigh and choose not to help each other, but he did not know that this would become the decision he regretted most.
…………
Over the weekend, the Lin family chose a Sunday to move. The elite high school was on holiday. Wang Gang, Qian Sanyi, and Deng Xiaoqi all came to help. Wang Gang even borrowed a truck from his father's company.
The house that Lin Dawei and Wang Shengnan rented was just downstairs from Qian San's family. Pei Yin went to her old school for business and was not at home. Otherwise, she would be furious if she knew that Lin Miaomiao's family had moved here.
Pei Yin was very opposed to the close relationship between Qian Sanyi and Lin Miaomiao. Later, she learned that her son was tutoring Lin Miaomiao for free. She became even more furious and ran straight to the school. She even called Lin Miaomiao's mother, Wang Shengnan, to the teacher. She was very angry.
It was a big fuss.
In the end, the two mothers broke up on bad terms, and Pei Yin had a quarrel with her son when he returned home.
From then on, Qian Sanyi no longer tutored Lin Miaomiao and had to hide it from Pei Yin when they met.
Qian Sanyi was able to come over to help with this move, but it was a blessing that Pei Yin was not at home.
Lin Dawei drove and went to the old house first to load some daily necessities into the car. Wang Gang and Qian Sanyi did the physical work of moving and lifting. Wang Shengnan took Lin Miaomiao and Deng Xiaoqi to clean the new house.
After everything was done and it was getting dark, Lin Dawei and Wang Shengnan were embarrassed and proposed to treat everyone to dinner to express their gratitude.
Wang Gang took him to his family's restaurant, where Jiang Qilong and Duan Xiaohong happened to be entertaining guests. When they heard that their son was bringing friends over for dinner, they took the time to come to the private room to say hello.
Wang Shengnan and Lin Dawei naturally praised Wang Gang to the sky in front of Jiang Qilong and his wife, which greatly satisfied the couple's vanity. They happily waved their hands and waived the bill.
Deng Xiaoqi was very reserved when facing Jiang Qilong and Duan Xiaohong. This was the first time she had confirmed her relationship with Wang Gang, and it was the first time she met the man's parents, so she was inevitably nervous.
Jiang Qilong and Duan Xiaohong had no objection to their son falling in love. Deng Xiaoqi was outstanding both in appearance and temperament, so there was no reason to object.
However, when Duan Xiaohong learned that Deng Xiaoqi's mother was Deng Xinhua, her expression changed unnaturally and soon returned to normal. Neither Deng Xiaoqi nor anyone else noticed it, but Wang Gang could see it all.
"Son, entertain your classmates well. Dad and Mom have some things to do. I'll see you home later." Duan Xiaohong patted Wang Gang on the shoulder, and then left the private room with Jiang Qilong.
Wang Gang remained calm and continued to go back to eat. When he sent Deng Xiaoqi home in the evening, he saw Deng Xinhua again.
Deng Xinhua was standing at the door of her home, seemingly waiting for her daughter. When she saw Wang Gang, she couldn't help but narrow her eyes.
"Tianhao, thank you for sending Xiaoqi back. It's too late and Auntie won't entertain you. Please be careful on the way." Deng Xinhua took her daughter's arm into the house and turned around and said to Wang Gang:
"Auntie, let's meet your parents later."
?Wang Gang nodded in response, then took a taxi home. When he opened the door, he saw Duan Xiaohong and Jiang Qilong sitting in the living room with gloomy faces.
?"Son, come here, we want to talk to you about Deng Xiaoqi."
