Chapter 149 – The Walking RMB (3)

But the result of Yang Zifeng’s prodding wasn’t very meaningful. Boss Zhou was someone of high status. Yang Zifeng might be nosy about what was going on, but he wouldn’t dare to interfere with his acts in any way, shape or form. Seeing how happy his little buddy was, he decided against even giving her any words of advice but changed the subject abruptly. “What do you guys want to eat for dinner?”

Yan Shuyu had already had her fill that afternoon and was more zen now. She turned to the two children and asked, “Tongtong, Yuanbao, what do you want to eat?”

Zhang Yuanjia didn’t have any particular inkling. As Tongtong strongly suggested pizza, he seconded on pizza as well.

Then they headed for pizza.

Eating and chatting with her little buddy, she had soon forgotten all about the boss and the little male lead. And that Tall, Rich, and Handsome that she met in the afternoon was gone completely from her mind. She had, however, left a lasting impression with the Tall, Rich, and Handsome. To the point that when he arrived at his cousin’s art show, he immediately pulled her aside and told her, “Yuxuan, I have found out recently that Boss Zhou already has a female friend and they look to be going quite steadily…”

Qin Sirui, worried that his cousin would get too upset, didn’t mention that they both brought their kids on their date and looked like a family of four. He even put the blame on himself. “Aye, it was my fault. I should have gathered all the facts instead of making this mistake. Just let it go, alright?”

Xie Yuxuan’s face turned pale, but she remained silent in the end.

Qin Luoyi, Qin Sirui’s aunt, on the other hand, overheard the conversation and walked over with a displeased look. “Which family is the girl from? Have you seen her before?”

“No, she did not look familiar.”

“So she isn’t from our circle then.” Qin Luoyi snickered. “Xiao Rui, are you sure she is Boss Zhou’s girlfriend? With the Zhou’s status, not every woman can marry into his family.”

His aunt’s words were rude, but Qin Sirui didn’t think much of it. He knew that his aunt pursued her romance back in the days and insisted on marrying his uncle, who was from a regular family. Even though his uncle was from a scholarly family that had a good reputation, they were still, nonetheless, of a lower status than the Qin’s. It was customary in their circles to kiss up to those of higher status while stepping down on those who were lower. He figured that the prideful Young Lady Qin, having married down, probably heard a lot of snide comments over the years and possibly regretted a little about her decision. Now, she just wanted her daughter to become the phoenix and be able to marry Boss Zhou.

Had Boss Zhou showed any interest in his cousin, he’d definitely do what he could within his power to push it forward. But now that Boss Zhou already has a girlfriend, there was no need to waste his effort on this. Qin Sirui comforted her in good temperament. “Boss Zhou is probably more into alluring and poised girls as of late. Yuxuan is a good girl too, but it just wasn’t meant to be. Don’t worry about it too much, Aunty. I will introduce her to someone even better later.”

Qin Luoyi felt unjust. “Who could be better than Boss Zhou? And their ages are perfect for each other.”

“There will be someone more suitable if you take the time to look around.” Qin Sirui smiled and patted his cousin on her shoulder. “I have asked a few friends to join me at the art show. Let me go see if they have arrived.”

Jie Yuxuan forced a smile and said, “Thank you for coming, Cousin.”

“Don’t mention it. We are a family.” Qin Sirui smiled and walked away. It was just a failed match-making and Qin Sirui truly didn’t think that was a big deal. He completely forgot about this incident after he had informed them of it. What he didn’t know was that Qin Luoyi and Jie Yuxuan exchanged a long look after he had left.

Finally, Qin Luoyi patted her daughter on her hand and said, “Don’t be heart-broken just yet. Mom will go find out more about this woman. Perhaps, it isn’t a serious relationship after all.”
