Marry for Alliance? No Way!

Banquet

Qiyue left the Chen family villa and did not wander around, but took a taxi to the cemetery.

Looking at the kind smile of the old man in the photo, Qiyue knelt down in front of the stone tablet, took out a tissue from his pocket, carefully wiped the stone tablet and whispered

"Grandpa, Xiaoqi is here to see you."

Qiyue was raised by his grandfather and has deep feelings for him, but because he left his hometown, he has not come back to show his filial piety to his grandfather for seven years. It's not that he doesn't want to come back, but Yang Liping doesn't let him come back because she doesn't like him.

Back then, after Yang Liping and Chen Ming gave birth to Chen Yun and Chen Han, they didn't plan to have more children, but accidentally had Qiyue. Because they found that the month was too big, it would be too harmful to the body to abort it, so they kept it.

At that time, the morning sickness when she was pregnant with Qiyue tortured Yang Liping to death, and the difficult labor during pregnancy and the natural delivery and cesarean section almost made Yang Liping go through the gates of hell.

So Yang Liping doesn't like Qiyue, and even calls him Qiyue simply and crudely, because he was born on Qiyue 1st.

But Qiyue doesn't care, because he has lived in the countryside with his grandfather since he can remember.

He was not taken back to the Chen family until he was thirteen years old, after his grandfather passed away. That was also the first time Qiyue met his parents.

He thought he would be very happy. However, before he was sent abroad, Qiyue saw what favoritism was.

Chen Yun asked for a supercar for his birthday, and received the key the next day; Chen Han acted like a spoiled child and wanted to go to Los Angeles to watch a celebrity concert, so the whole family chartered a private plane to fly to Los Angeles.

Only he wanted his parents to accompany him to cut the cake on his birthday, but they were pushed away to attend a meeting, leaving Qiyue alone at home, and then he saw photos of the family playing in Disney on WeChat Moments.

Fortunately, Aunt Jiang and her friends would hug him, comfort him, play games with him, and make delicious food for him at this time, which is why Qiyue can still smile at Aunt Jiang now.

After wiping the stone tablet, Qiyue sat down against it, took out a photo from his arms, and smiled gently.

"Grandpa, Xiaoqi found you a granddaughter-in-law, that's her."

Qiyue held the photo, as if holding a bright pearl, letting the scorching sun shine through the photo, as if covering the girl in the photo with a layer of golden gauze. The girl danced lightly among the flowers, like a fairy descending to the earth, and the butterflies, as if under a spell, quietly stopped on her shoulders, forming a breathtakingly beautiful picture.

"Grandpa, you see, Xiaoqi has a good eye, right? Her name is Yi Mengyao, she is really a very good person, but it's a pity that I couldn't bring her to see you. If you see her down there, Grandpa, please help me take care of her for a while, you will definitely like her."

Qiyue talked a lot here, as if she wanted to finish what she hadn't said in these years.

The sky gradually darkened, and Qiyue finally stood up, "Grandpa, Xiaoqi has something to do today, so I will accompany you here first. When I am done, Xiaoqi will bring your favorite fruit wine and drink with you."

Qiyue turned around and left the cemetery, and took a taxi to the Shen family's old house.

At the Shen family's old house, Chen Ming, Yang Liping, Chen Yun and Chen Han had been waiting at the door for a long time. Seeing Qiyue's late arrival, everyone's face suddenly sank.

Qiyue ignored it, stood in front of everyone, and said indifferently, "Why don't you go in?"

Chen Ming opened his mouth, but didn't say anything after all, and knocked on the door of the Shen's house.

Shen Yuntao, the current head of the Shen family, came out to greet them soon, and greeted Chen Ming with a smile, "Hey, Old Chen, why are you here so late? The meal is almost ready."

Chen Ming forced a stiff smile and said vaguely, "There was a traffic jam on the road."

Shen Yuntao paused, and couldn't find a good excuse. This is a villa area, how could there be a traffic jam?

But Shen Yuntao didn't expose it, and smiled and said, "Let's go, let's talk about it at the dinner table."

Yang Liping, Chen Yun and Chen Han also greeted Shen Yuntao awkwardly.

Only Qiyue didn't react at all, and followed them silently.

"This is Qiyue, right? She is really handsome." Shen Yuntao said to Chen Ming without hesitation.

"Haha, it's Qiyue. She looks good, but she has been abroad for a few years and has forgotten all the etiquette." Chen Ming smiled and responded, and also took this opportunity to express his dissatisfaction with Qiyue's casual clothes.

Qiyue did not respond and remained silent.

"I'm talking to you, why don't you say anything back?" Chen Han poked Qiyue without leaving a trace and whispered.

Qiyue frowned, glanced at her, and quietly moved away from her.

Chen Han noticed Qiyue's action and turned her head away angrily. She originally wanted to get closer to Qiyue and help him get closer to his parents in the future, but now it seems that she should forget it, so as not to make things difficult for him.

In the restaurant of the Shen family's old house, the old man of the Shen family saw everyone coming and stood up to greet them with a smile.

Shen Yuntao hurried over to help the old man sit down, "Dad, slow down, what if you fall down?"

The old man smiled and said, "Oh, I'm happy to see the children of my old friends."

Shen Yuntao was helpless and looked at his own daughter Shen Qian who was beside the old man.

Shen Qian understood, stepped forward to support the old man, and said softly, "Grandpa, don't worry. People are here, will they run away?"

The old man of the Shen family nodded, "Yes, then sit down."

Shen Qian tactfully retreated to the position of the younger generation.

The old man sat in the main seat, with Chen Ming and Shen Yuntao on both sides, then Yang Liping and the mistress of the Shen family, and then the younger generation.

And Shen Qian happened to sit next to Qiyue.

The older generation talked about family matters, Chen Yun and Han followed suit, and even Shen Qian spoke a few words from time to time.

Only Qiyue didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Finally, Shen Yuntao turned the topic to the younger generation.

"Xiaoyun, where do you work now?"
