Chapter 294
294 You Should Ask My Sister
Zhang Yi Hai looked at Mu Zhen Yu in confusion, “What do you mean?”
The frown on Mu Zhen Yu’s face deepened. “Just now, I saw you and your sister.”
Zhang Yi Hai thought about this matter for a while. Then, a face came to his mind. He looked at Mu Zhen Yu again and spoke, “I think you must have been mistaken.”
Without waiting for Mu Zhen Yu to speak again, Zhang Yi Hai turned around, wanting to look for his family. However, after a few steps, he heard Mu Zhen Yu’s voice again.
“Zhang Yi Hai.”
His steps halted and Zhang Yi Hai turned around again.
Mu Zhen Yu hesitated. He then recalled the tall man who was walking beside Zhang Li Xue and the triplets. “Have you found out about that person your sister is dating?”
Zhang Yi Hai’s expression changed when he heard the question. “I don’t think that it is any of your concern.”
Mu Zhen Yu looked displeased.
.....
“If you are curious about the person my sister is dating, perhaps, you should ask my sister,” Zhang Yi Hai said. “After all, this is her private matter.”
Mu Zhen Yu saw that Zhang Yi Hai was about to turn around and leave. “Don’t you care about it? In the past, didn’t you and the triplets drive away the boys who wanted to get close to her?”
Zhang Yi Hai stared at Mu Zhen Yu for a long time. His lips parted as if he was going to say something. But in the end, Zhang Yi Hai thought that there was no use in explaining to Mu Zhen Yu.
In the past, he and the triplets had indeed chased away a few boys from his sister.
But now, his sister had kept her relationship with Bai Qi a secret. Even if they wanted to chase that man away, it was already too late, wasn’t it?
This Mu Zhen Yu was too weird.
Even if they wanted to chase away other boys from their sister, what does that got to do with him? They did not chase him away, did they?
Zhang Yi Hai walked away and finally arrived where his sister and the triplets were gathering. His gaze fell on Bai Qi and Zhang Yi Hai greeted him politely. “Brother Bai Qi.”
Bai Qi nodded.
However, Zhang Li Xue frowned when she saw her brother around. “Yi Hai, why are you here? Where’s Su Jin?”
Zhang Yi Hai heaved a helpless sigh. “Sister Fang’s parents are here.”
Hearing his answer, Zhang Li Xue was finally at ease.
“Sister, why are you too worried?” Zhang Yi Hai asked. “It’s not like this is the first time that Sister Fang had attended an event. She is quite familiar with a lot of people.”
“You don’t understand.” Zhang Li Xue hesitated. “I saw the guest list earlier. There is someone that Fang Su Jin would rather not meet.”
Zhang Yi Hai shot his sister a look, wanting her to explain.
But before he could inquire about it, their parents had already walked over. Zhang Yi Hai greeted his parents and saw that the two of them were looking at Bai Qi.
Their father was looking at Bai Qi with a complicated gaze. Meanwhile, their mother had a warm look on her face. Zhang Yi Hai glanced at Bai Qi again and wondered just what their parents had in mind.
“Bai Qi, I’m glad to see that you can make it to this event,” Li Qin Yao said.
A while ago, they were still wondering whether Bai Qi would come to the banquet.
Zhang Yu Han heard about Bai Qi’s background and history and wondered if he would be suitable to stay by his daughter’s side.
Bai Qi might have good characters and loved their daughter very much.
However, their family can be a little complicated. Zhang Yu Han thought that it would be better for his daughter to be with someone who could protect her.
Even though Bai Qi was dating his daughter, Zhang Yu Han could still sense the insecurity in him.
Qi Zheng had already let someone arrange Bai Qi’s schedule so that he will have time to attend this event. If Bai Qi did not show up because of his insecurities, then, Zhang Yu Han really thought that he was not suitable for his daughter.
Attending this banquet was a small step that Bai Qi will have to take.
When he let his wife give Bai Qi that invitation card, Zhang Yu Han was ready to test him.
Fortunately, his love-struck daughter did not think much about it.
“Aunt, Uncle, thank you for the invitation,” Bai Qi spoke.
“What about Little Xi Xi?” Li Qin Yao asked. She liked the little girl and was worried that the little girl will have to stay home alone.
“My sister is staying at Doctor Qi’s house,” Bai Qi said. “Doctor Qi offered to let his children look after Xi Xi.”
Hearing his answer, Li Qin Yao finally heaved a breath of relief. At least Bai Xi Xi would not have to stay alone and could play with Qi Yue.
The group did not have time to chat for a long time. The manager walked over to Zhang Yu Han and reminded him to prepare his speech.
Zhang Yu Han turned around to leave. But his steps halted after a while. He looked at his daughter and spoke, “Li Xue, come with me. I wanted to introduce you to a few people.”
Zhang Li Xue hesitated before she nodded. “Daddy, I know. I will be with you in a while.”
Zhang Yu Han glanced at Bai Qi before he turned around with his wife.
Since she had decided to learn about the company’s business, Zhang Li Xue naturally had to know a few people in the industry.
Once her brother had graduated and joined the company, he too will have to go through the same thing as her.
Zhang Li Xue watched as her parents left. Then, he looked at her brother and the siblings. “You have to help me to look after Bai Qi. Don’t bully him too much.”
Wei Zi Kai coughed. “Sister, what are you saying? Do we look like bullies?”
Zhang Li Xue looked at Bai Qi again and held his hand. “Will you be alright?”
“Just go.” There was a hint of helplessness in Bai Qi’s gaze. His girlfriend was worrying about him too much. “I’ll stay here and wait for you.”
Zhang Li Xue pursed her lips. She wanted to kiss her boyfriend, but it was inappropriate with the boys around. After exchanging a few words with Bai Qi, Zhang Li Xue finally turned to look for her parents.
As soon as Zhang Li Xue left, the triplets gathered around Bai Qi.
“Brother Bai Qi,” Wei Zi Ming spoke. A strange smile curled on his lips. “We heard that you have defeated our uncle in a basketball match. Why don’t you tell us about it.”
