Stepmom Male Lead Villain

Chapter 29

Yan Shuyu, focused on what she was doing, did not notice the group of guests who had just finished eating and walked out of the private room. One of the men, when he saw their table from afar, his eyes bulged so much that his eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets.

The man looked 2-3 years younger than Zhou Qinhe and was also the youngest in the group. He, however, seemed to be the leader among the group.

A group of them laughed and smiled, but one by one, they stopped in their way when they saw his strange appearance.

"Bos Qin, what's wrong?"

Boss Qin did not say anything, so everyone looked in the direction he saw. Some of them looked at the loss and some were surprised.

“Isn't that Boss Zhou? One of them must be little prince Zhou?”

The business elite began to gossip. “I think Boss Zhou has only one son. Why are there two kids there.”

“Women sitting opposite her don't look familiar. Is she a socialite from one of the prestigious families?”

Qin Sirui, the young master of Qin, heard the gossip behind him finally recalled. He waved at the people behind him and said, “You go first. I'll say hello to Boss Zhou.”

Everyone behind him was Qin's upper management, and they were all aware that Qin and Zhou had always had a good relationship with each other. Now that they had met Boss Zhou, greeting politely was a polite matter. But, seeing Boss Zhou spend time with his “ family”, there was no reason for those others to walk towards him either.

The group agreed and left Boss Qin in the restaurant.

Qin Sirui walked over to Yan Shuyu's desk and greeted Zhou Qinhe in a familiar voice, “Brother He, I heard you won't be attending the art show today. I'm seeing you here for seafood instead. ”

He was referring to his cousin's art show. Xie Yuxuan, his cousin, returned from abroad six months ago and met Boss Zhou once at a banquet. It was love at first sight for him. Her aunt knew that she was friends with Boss Zhou, so she asked him to help arrange them. Qin Sirui would be happy to see the two succeed. His company had several business projects with Zhou recently, so if his cousin could be a couple with Boss Zhou, it would be a win-win for him.

Plus, his cousin wasn't too bad.

Xie Yuxuan was a rather famous and beautiful artist. Despite her career, she is beautiful and kind and never even had a boyfriend when she studied abroad. Compared to other socialites where one was more mischievous than the other, he was relatively pure.

As a man, Qin Sirui already has several girlfriends, but when it comes to weddings, he will definitely look for someone as docile and drama-free as his cousin. He grew up with Zhou Qinhe. Boss Zhou is becoming increasingly unpredictable these days, but Qin Sirui has a rough idea of where his standards and his cousins should be able to make the cut.

His cousin may not be from the most prestigious family, but his uncle's family party has been a scholar for generations and he is a college professor. Her aunt owned some shares of the Qin Corporation and also held an important role in Qin, but after all, she was already married. So, he was not really considered a part of Qin anymore as far as other people were concerned.

Since Boss Zhou already had an heir, marrying a woman from a prestigious family would make things even more awkward. Qin Sirui felt his cousin was a perfect match for Boss Zhou. He would very well complement her during social events, but he would also not be a problem later on. Boss Zhou had no reason to refuse.

That was why Qin Sirui accepted his aunt's request.

Zhou Qinhe seemed somewhat hesitant when Qin Sirui first talked about it, but eventually accepted it for Qin Sirui's sake. Qin Sirui did not think too much about it. He thought that Boss Zhou might be worried that his cousin would be just like the other spoiled socialites in the circle, but that didn't matter. As soon as he met her, Boss Zhou would find out that her cousin was gentle and cute and was a perfect fit for her.

Because he felt that it was a done deal plus men usually did not pay too much attention to details, Qin Sirui did not pay much attention to it since he set it up. After all, the two of them needed to repair their own relationship. His cousin, however, told him after their first meeting that Boss Zhou looked a bit cold to him and might already have a girlfriend. Qin Sirui had wondered and learned that Boss Zhou had no women. She had convinced her cousin and told him that she could be a little more proactive.

It was his cousin's first art show since he returned to China. He had spent a lot of time and effort preparing for it. Qin Sirui even asked a few friends to be present with him after they finished work.

He felt that his cousin would invite Boss Zhou over a long time ago, so he never checked on him. He had not expected Boss Zhou to have lunch with another woman and they did not seem to be just friends. Qin Sirui, who wished Boss Zhou could potentially be his cousin-in-law, was shocked. Staring at the table and confused for a while, she finally decided to walk over and find the details for her cousin. Maybe they are just friends or relatives.

Qin Sirui was disappointed when he realized that Boss Zhou didn't seem to care at all when he deliberately raised his cousin's art show but just nonchalantly shook hands with it. “Yes, I want to try something different over the weekend. It just so happens that you're here too. ”

Boss Zhou's appearance was always unexpected. Qin SIrui already had a bad premonition, but he had to ask one more question. "Yes. This place is pretty good, except only with reservations. That's a bit of a hassle.”

“It's not too bad to make a reservation in advance. You can make sure that you will get a rare dish. ”

From the answer alone, Qin Sirui could tell that Zhou Qinhe had indeed made a reservation beforehand. And it seems like he even made his own reservation. It's just lunch; he wouldn't do that if they were just friends or relatives. Inevitably he looked again at the woman sitting opposite him and teased, “Yes, you are right. Brother He knows how to make the best of it. Ha ha ha."

Zhou Qinhe showed no reaction to Qin Sirui's subtle urges at all. Yan Shuyu was the one who paid the most attention. Unfortunately, without knowing the background of the story, he could not understand what he was saying. However, he looked up and looked at the boss curiously when Qin Sirui first mentioned the art show. He thought that it was never mentioned in the novel that Zhou Qinhe had any interest other than making money and being manipulative. Thats cool.

Then, his attention turned to Qin Sirui. He imagined anyone who could affectionately refer to the boss as "Brother He" and not "Boss Zhou" should also be the young master of a prestigious family. He's also handsome. Thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a high nose. He was a High, Rich, and Handsome.

Perhaps the boss had seen the way he studied Qin Sirui. He heard the boss introduce him to High, Rich, and Handsome. The Tall, Rich, and Handsome reached out to her and said, “Good day, Ms. Yan. I am Qin Sirui.”

Yan Shuyu quickly got up and shook hands with the High, Rich, and Handsome one. "Hi, Mr. Qin."

The leader of the little man, next to him, also looked up, greeted Qin Sirui, and even introduced his little friend to him. "Yuanbao, this is Uncle Qin."

Zhang Yuanbao also looked up and said, "Hi, Master Qin."

Qin Sirui patted the heads of the two of them and said, “Hai, you two. Do you enjoy food here?”

The two boys nodded forcefully and both replied with "yes". Yan Shuyu suddenly recalled that she had not finished feeding them and went back to what she was doing.

As the boss had introduced him to the High, Rich, and Handsome Master Qin, Yan Shuyu's curiosity was satisfied and he stopped trying to gather more information. He refocused on feeding the two children and longed for the way the High, Rich, and Handsome Comrade looked at him – Qin Sirui looked at him, then at the two children next to him, and seemed to find something.

He turned around, patted Zhou Qinhe on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, “Don't worry, Brother He. I will tell Yuxuan. ”

He was disappointed that his cousin could not be a couple with Zhou Qinhe, but the relationship was always unpredictable. It did not take long for Qin Sirui to accept the truth. Especially since he had paid close attention to Yan Shuyu and would agree to Zhou Qinhe's choice. He did not know where he found such a charming beauty but was not a bourgeois.

With someone like that around him, it made sense that Boss Zhou did not care about his cousin.

Zhou Qinhe raised his eyebrows. He did not know what kind of details Qin Sirui had in his head, but he had no intention of explaining them. Instead, he smiled and said, "Okay, thank you."

"No problem. No problem." And that was how Boss Zhou trampled on the last hope he had of him becoming his cousin-in-law. Qin Sirui has accepted it. He even winked at Zhou Qinhe and said to her, “OK. I'll take off then. Don't want to take more of your time. ”

Yan Shuyu, who was busy feeding the two cute ones, did not notice the deep gazes of the High, Rich, and Handsome at all. All he heard was that he was leaving, so he just waved at him and said, "See you later."

The two children next to him also waved with him. "See you, Uncle Qin."

Seeing that, Qin Sirui felt even more peaceful. He didn't know if the other child had any relations with Boss Zhou, but he knew for sure that if his cousin and Boss Zhou succeeded, it would be for him, the little prince who already had the distance between him and everyone else would never be so affectionate to his cousin as he was now with this woman.

Yan Shuyu did not know all the thoughts that came to Qin Sirui's mind, so he simply treated her like another High, Rich, and Handsome. After he waved his hand, he quickly forgot the entire incident. He painstakingly fed the two children a final bite, and when they finally announced that they were full, he almost wanted to jump out of the chair and rejoice. “Oh, you're finally done. Your Majesty!”

Zhang Yuanjia rubbed his round stomach and said, a little embarrassed, "I ate too much today."

Zhou Yi was wearing a suit and tie, so his stomach was even clearer than his friend's. He imitated Zhang Yuanjia and patted his stomach and said, "I'm full."

Yan Shuyu tapped both of their bellies and said, "Let me see which watermelon I want to open first today ..."

Zhou Qinhe smiled as he watched them play around for a while before he waved to the server to ask for a check.

Seeing that it was already past 1pm, Yan Shuyu stood with one child in each hand and said, "It's time to go to our next destination!"

After all the food and drink, Zhang Yuanjia started to get sleepy. He did not feel it back in the restaurant as they ate, drank, and quarreled. But now that his mother had brought him into the car, Zhang Yuanjia could not help but rub his eyes and said gently, "Mom, I'm sleepy."

“Then close your eyes and sleep for a while. You can even lean on this chair. Comfortable, right?” Yan Shuyu patted the child's chair. He was not surprised that he was sleepy, after all, he had a habit of napping.

Thinking of that, he looked at the other little boy who had just been placed in the car. "Xiao Yi, do you want to take a nap as well?"

Zhou Yi also rubbed his eyes and said, "Yes."

"OKAY. Then you both close your eyes and stop talking. We'll be at the music institution when you wake up.”

Zhou Qinhe, after tying up his son, saw them and took out two blankets from the trunk of his car. One of them is quite big. He spread it out and covered the two children with it. He then handed the others over to Yan Shuyu.

“I'm fine, really. I'm not used to taking a nap. Ha ha ha." Yan Shuyu was verbally polite, but she received a warm and comfortable blanket from him. As soon as he got into the car, he was not shy about breaking down the chair, wrapping himself in a blanket, and happily started playing his phone.

With one adult and two children so relaxed, Zhou Qinhe, who had busied herself, looked even more miserable than before.

When Yan Shuyu caught the profile beside her from the corner of her eyes, she suddenly recalled why the boss did not have a driver today. The back seat was already taken by two child seats and did not fit for a third person. Passenger seats can accommodate one. With the driver, there would not be enough room for the four of them.

They can use two cars, but it would seem wasteful and unhealthy if they had two cars for such a small event. It is much better for the boss to just drive.

After a sumptuous meal that afternoon, the boss had scored a few points with Yan Shuyu. He felt sorry for the boss for two seconds seeing how he treated them for lunch and had to wait for them.

But he didn't feel bad for too long. He spends a few seconds of attention for the boss before he gets distracted by the internet. He yawned as he happily scoured the web. Slowly, he also fell asleep in a very unsightly manner looking like two children in the back.

Yan Shuyu, who was not planning to take a nap, was awakened by her boss. He felt that he had only napped for a few minutes, but when he looked at the clock and saw that it was almost 2pm, he was a little restless. "We're gonna be late."

“No, we won't do it. We're already here, ” said the boss calmly.

Yan Shuyu looked out the window when she heard him say that and noticed that they were parked in a spot right in front of the music institution. He looked at her seriously and asked, "We've been here a long time?"

“No, not long ago.”

Zhou Qinhe sounded indifferent, but Yan Shuyu got a strange sensation, like she was pampered.

He should remember that the boss, who makes millions of yuan decisions every minute, has put aside millions of yuan business transactions, bent down to their level and invited them to lunch, playing the role of their driver, he said, and even wasted her time waiting for them when they fell asleep in her car. Although the boss did not really do all that for him and that his own son was also sleeping in the car, as part of the beneficiary, Yan Shuyu also felt a little arrogant.

The boss who was so rich and courteous, Yan Shuyu felt that he had released the big fish by handing it over.

But his regret did not last long. He immediately returned to reality and began to break away, lifted his chair back, and folded the blanket. After he refilled his entire health bar, he pushed the door open and said loudly, “Kids, it's time to wake up! The sun is shining on your ass!”

"Kids" got up one by one and squirmed. Then they were taken out of the car.

Yan Shuyu, who was well fed and well rested, continued to hold one child in each of his hands and started walking into the music institution with his head held high. The next second, he heard a voice accusing Manage Yang, “Yanyan, you brought Boss Zhou? You promised me that you would be on my team!

Manager Yang looked at her with grief and anger on par with someone who had just caught her lover cheating, and the boss gave her a smile that was not a smile. Yan Shuyu felt his head throbbing. “No, I didn't do it. I'm not. We're all friends. Of course I have to convey an invitation to you when something fun is going on. ”

Liu Ci, who happened to be watching them, walked over to greet them as well. "Boss Zhou, Yanyan, you have arrived ..."

Liu Ci had no idea that Boss Zhou would be present until now.

Nevertheless, they had met once before. After their last meeting, Liu Ci searched for Zhou Qinhe afterward and confirmed that he was indeed the legendary Boss of Zhou. He's emotional about that. Thinking that he had just started his business and they were not even qualified to ask venture capitalists, the chance to meet a bankroller like Boss Zhou was certainly very exciting. Especially, Liu Ci felt that the way they met was a coincidence and would never happen again.

He had not expected Yan Shuyu to do a solid and give him such a big shock. Liu Ci was extremely shocked and naturally greeted them excitedly.

His behavior had helped Yan Shuyu indirectly.

Yan Shuyu heaved a sigh of relief when the boss finally stopped looking at her. He immediately received an SMS from Manager Yang on his phone and this time he was much more normal. "Why did you bring Boss Zhou with you?"

Yan Shuyu summarized it for him. "Boss Zhou's son wanted to hang out with Yuanbao and I sneaked in and told him about this event, then they decided to join in for some fun."

“OK, I can understand they want to come. But do you need to come together? ” Which Zifeng is not stupid. "I offered to pick you up, but you turned me down."

Yan Shuyu found it much easier to ride the subway than to have Yang Zifeng pick them up. But when he said it like that, now it seemed like he had thrown away a friend for a man. He explained himself quickly, "Boss Zhou wants to take us to lunch to show his appreciation, which is why we came together after lunch."

"Oh? Where'd he take you?”

"Seafood." Yan Shuyu thought about it for a moment and also gave it the name of the restaurant.

“Tsk tsk tsk ..” Manager Who looked for him, looked at him deeply, and continued to send his message on WeChat. “And here you tell me that nothing happened between the two of you. You are overreacting now. ”

Yang Zifeng's appearance was not as deep as Boss Zhou's. Of course there are advantages to being hard to read. For Yang Zifeng and the others, Boss Zhou had always been difficult to read, so they couldn't say much now.

Yan Shuyu: “..
