"Haha, if it was a business trip, how would I have time to ask the two of you out for dinner?”
Qi Tongwei smiled and shook his head." It's like this. My eldest nephew is coming to Yanjing to study. He's just a child and is unfamiliar with the people and places here. He wanted the two of you to help take care of him."”
Zhong Xiao 'ai frowned when she heard this. She felt that Qi Tongwei was really shameless.
Although they were university classmates and had a good relationship in the past, it had been so many years. It was a little ungrateful to suddenly make such a request without informing him in advance.
We're all adults and working. Who has the energy to take care of your nephew?
Zhong Xiao 'ai was displeased, but she did not show it on her face.
Hou Liangping looked at Lin Yaozong with a smile."No problem, martial brother. Your nephew is my nephew. He's studying in Beijing. If you need anything, just contact me.”
"Haha, I knew Monkey would give me face.”
Qi Tongwei had been working for many years now and had experienced the little willfulness of power. He no longer had the arrogance he had when he was in university. Seeing that Hou Liangping had agreed, he smiled and patted Lin Yaozong on the back."Yaozong, hurry up and thank Uncle Hou.”
Lin Yaozong really wanted to say that it was fine for him to live alone and that he did not need anyone to take care of him. However, he could understand Qi Tongwei's good intentions, so he immediately revealed a happy expression and said,"Thank you, Uncle Hou."
"Yaozong, right? Your uncle and I were university classmates and we were very close.”
"Back then, your uncle, your uncle, and your Uncle Chen were known as the Three Swordsmen of the University of Political Science and Law. Taking care of his nephew was nothing.”
Hou Liangping waved his hand. Taking care of a half-grown child was nothing to him. After all, he was not taking care of the other party's daily life. If anything happened, he could just call Qi Tongwei directly.
To him, he didn't suffer any losses at all. He could even gain Qi Tongwei's favor. That was enough.
The Three Swordsmen?
Thinking of the original plot, Lin Yaozong sneered and shook his head.
Seeing that Hou Liangping had agreed, Zhong Xiao 'ai was a little unhappy. She changed the topic and said,""Alright, alright. You're almost thirty years old, and you're still reminiscing about your university days? Hurry up and eat. I rushed over as soon as I got off work. I'm hungry.”
"Yes, yes, yes. We can't let our Comrade Xiao 'ai starve. I'll go and urge the waiter to serve the dishes now.”
Qi Tongwei knew about Zhong Xiao 'ai's background. When he saw her urging him, he smiled and went out to let the waiter serve the dishes.
After he left, Lin Yaozong looked at Hou Liangping and Zhong Xiao 'ai, who were communicating with each other through their eyes, and found a seat quietly.
Not long after.
Qi Tongwei returned, and the waiters began to serve the dishes.
At the dining table, Qi Tongwei raised his glass and said,"I really have to thank Monkey and Xiao 'ai this time. I only have one nephew. His parents have passed away, and I've been busy with work. I originally wanted him to stay in Jingzhou City to study."
"It's just that this kid is good at his studies. Although he's only 16 years old, he's already in his third year of high school and is about to take the college entrance exam, so I shamelessly arranged for him to study in Yanjing. I want to get into a good university and not let my sister down.”
16-year-old college entrance examination?
Zhong Xiao 'ai looked at Lin Yaozong, who was young but handsome.
As expected, the old saying was right-nephews were like uncles.
Back then, Qi Tongwei had also changed his fate from a remote mountain area by taking the college entrance examination.
This time, his nephew, Lin Yaozong, was able to take the college entrance examination at the age of sixteen because of his good grades.
With an uncle taking care of her, her future achievements would definitely not be bad.
Hou Liangping also stared at Lin Yaozong in surprise. He thought that he was an outstanding student, but he was not at the stage of taking the college entrance examination at the age of 16.
"Come, Yaozong, give Uncle Hou and Auntie Zhong…"
"Senior Brother, why are you calling me Auntie? I'm only in my twenties.”
Before Qi Tongwei could finish his sentence, Zhong Xiao 'ai was already unhappy. She had studied early and was one year younger than Hou Liangping. She was only 25 years old. At this age, women cared the most about how others addressed her.
"Yes, yes, yes. Look at my mouth. I'll punish myself by drinking three glasses of wine.”
Qi Tongwei changed his words repeatedly. He immediately picked up the bottle and drank three glasses of wine before saying to Lin Yaozong,"Yaozong, call me Sister Xiao 'ai."
Lin Yaozong knew that his uncle, Qi Tongwei, was giving him a chance to get close to Zhong Xiao 'ai so that he could have someone to help him in his studies in Yanjing. He picked up his glass and said,""Sister Xiao 'ai, let me toast you. Please take care of me in the future.”
With that, he drank it all in one gulp.
"Don't worry, if there's anything you need in Beijing, just tell me. I'll give you a name card later.”
Zhong Xiao 'ai smiled and took a sip from her cup.
Hou Liangping didn't know whether to laugh or cry."Senior Brother, I'm not that old. Yaozong calls me Sister Xiao 'ai, so why is he calling me Uncle?”
"Isn't this my nephew's respect for you?”
Qi Tongwei laughed and asked Lin Yaozong to stand up and toast Hou Liangping. Only then did he manage to fool this matter.
After they were familiar with each other, Qi Tongwei let Lin Yaozong drink while he, Hou Liangping, and Zhong Xiaoai took a sip of wine from time to time.
Halfway through the drink, Qi Tongwei suddenly said,"By the way, Monkey, when are you and Xiao 'ai getting married?”
"This…"
Hou Liangping's expression changed when he heard this. Zhong Xiao 'ai's expression also turned ugly. She lowered her head as if she did not want to talk about this topic.
In the end, Hou Liangping squeezed out a smile and said,"There's no hurry, senior brother. We've just joined the job not long ago. We're at the stage of working hard. It's better to wait a few more years.”
Qi Tongwei also noticed that something was wrong. He smiled and echoed,"Yes, there's no hurry. You're still young, and it's time for you to focus on your careers.”
Qi Tongwei, who had been socializing with people all year round, immediately changed the topic and started talking about his university days.
Hou Liangping and Zhong Xiao 'ai quickly forgot about the unpleasantness they had just experienced.
Only Lin Yaozong, who was sitting at the side, looked enlightened.
