I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 385 Everyone talks about it
Qin Wei at the table was completely unpretentious, drinking heartily and speaking appropriately.

Wei Lin was the same.

Wu Feiyu was somewhat out of place with the others; apart from Qin Wei, he only got along well with Wei Lin.

This straightforward guy from the military would occasionally say a few words to Qin Wei, but Qin Wei didn't get angry and would respond with a laugh and a scolding in return.

"Come on, Wei Lin, let's drink!"

He pulled Wei Lin to clink glasses, completely disregarding Qin Wei's thoughts, and said, "You should stay away from Qin Wei; he's been a scoundrel since he was a child!"

Wei Lin chuckled and said, "Brother Qin is fine, not like what you described."

"What a fart!"

Wu Feiyu snorted coldly, glared at Qin Wei, and cursed, "When we were kids, we were both mischievous, and he always blamed me for everything! Over the years, I've taken the blame for him countless times!"

"Hahaha!" Qin Wei laughed and said, "We did this together, so someone has to take the blame! You're thicker-skinned, you can take the beating, but I can't. If I don't blame you, who else can I blame?"

Everyone could see that the two had a very good relationship; they must have grown up together as if they were children.

"Wu Feiyu, we haven't had much contact before, but we should get to know each other better in the future."

Han Jie smiled and offered a toast.

"What's there for us to get close to? You're a businessman, I work in the system. It's best if we have as little contact as possible!"

Wu Feiyu muttered, showing no respect for Han Jie whatsoever.

"Brother Jie, don't pay attention to him, that's just his problem!" Qin Wei quickly tried to smooth things over, afraid that Han Jie would get angry.

Han Jie said angrily, "Wei Lin is also a businessman, yet you get along with him just the same way."

Wu Feiyu shook his head and said, "You two are different."

Han Jie pressed further, "How is it different?"

“He’s not a pure businessman, but you are.” Wu Feiyu snorted, clearly aware of Han Jie’s status and position in Linjiang City and his way of doing things, and said, “Without Qin Wei around, it’s best if we don’t meet!”

He blamed Wei Lin for not playing ball with him, while at the same time being so wary of Han Jie, which made Han Jie quite embarrassed.

Qin Wei knew his bad temper all too well, and seeing how much he approved of Wei Lin, he secretly looked up to Wei Lin even more.

There aren't many people who can get along with Wu Feiyu. Qin Wei knows he's not stupid; he would never acknowledge anyone who has a dirty or filthy aura about them.

Wu Feiyu's high regard for Wei Lin is more effective than Han Jie praising him a thousand times, which shows that Wei Lin's character is trustworthy.

Han Jie shrugged: "Fine, if I don't want to see you, I don't want to see you."

Even someone as shrewd and composed as him found it troublesome to encounter someone like Wu Feiyu, and he was too lazy to bother trying to win him over.

Qin Wei stood up and said with a smile, "Shiqi, come on, let's have a drink, but you should drink less."

Aside from Huo Shiqi, he was relatively familiar with everyone else, so he took good care of Huo Shiqi who was standing to the side.

After a few drinks, Huo Shiqi gradually relaxed and became less reserved and uneasy.

She secretly observed that Qin Wei was the most polite to Wei Lin, and he kept expressing his gratitude.

On the contrary, when facing Han Jie and Wu Feiyu, Qin Wei teased, joked, and scolded them in various ways.

She immediately realized that Qin Wei had a better relationship with Han Jie and Wu Feiyu.

Perhaps because Wu Feiyu had made a statement first, no one talked about work-related matters, and they chatted about all sorts of random things, which made Huo Shiqi feel more and more relaxed.

Of course, Qin Wei never made any promises from beginning to end, nor did he say anything more about her father.

But she had a vague feeling that Qin Wei would definitely do something behind the scenes after tonight's dinner.

"Brother Wei..."

Looking at Wei Lin, who was chatting and laughing with everyone, Huo Shiqi felt a surge of respect.

She couldn't be as carefree as Wei Lin.

Han Jie is the son of the richest man in Linjiang City.

Wu Feiyu, like Qin Wei, is also the son of a high-ranking official.

Just by looking at how much Qin Wei cared about Wu Feiyu, she knew that Wu Feiyu's family background must be equally unfathomable.

When facing these people, Wei Lin remained calm and composed, far surpassing her in composure.

"It seems there's real hope that Brother Wei can help ease things on Dad's side. I really didn't expect that Brother Wei could get someone like Qin Wei to take such good care of me."

Huo Shiqi felt grateful.

The dinner ended at 9:30. Remembering Zhu Jun's instructions, she did not go to Han Jie's teahouse with Qin Wei and the others for tea, but left first.

Wu Feiyu followed her, and then, drunk, took his leave.

Before leaving, Wu Feiyu pulled Wei Lin aside and told him to remember to call him to play basketball sometime, to which Wei Lin readily agreed.

……

Inside the Maybach.

"how?"

Zhu Jun drove the car herself, and as soon as Huo Shiqi got in, she couldn't help but ask, "Did Qin Wei say anything?"

Huo Shiqi exclaimed in surprise, "Mom, it's you?"

Zhu Junyan said insincerely, "Anyway, I don't have anything to do tonight, so I'll let Lao Zhou rest and come pick you up myself." With Tiantong Real Estate being such a large company, and it being Friday night, how could she not be busy?
In fact, she had several dinner appointments scheduled for that evening, but after learning in the afternoon that Huo Shiqi was going to have dinner with Qin Wei, she canceled all of them.

She was just as anxious as Huo Jiaxiong, and she was also closely watching her daughter's meal.

"I……"

Huo Shiqi wanted to explain in detail.

"Wait a minute, I'll make a call to your dad, he needs to hear it too."

Zhu Jun waved her hand to signal her to wait a moment, and immediately dialed her ex-husband Huo Jiaxiong's number.

Huo Jiaxiong answered the phone quickly, clearly having been waiting as well, and asked, "Has she finished eating?"

"He's right in the car."

Zhu Jun said.

"Oh." Huo Jiaxiong's voice was deep and solemn as he asked, "Tell me about it."

There were only the mother and daughter in the car. Even the experienced driver, Zhou Gang, had been sent away by Zhu Jun, so it was naturally convenient for the family of three to talk.

Huo Shiqi no longer hesitated and recounted everything she had seen and heard on the table in detail, finally saying, "Dad, after the dinner officially started, Qin Wei didn't talk about you anymore."

Huo Jiaxiong hummed in agreement again, remained silent for a long time, and then continued to ask, "That kid Qin Wei told you that you are Wei Lin's sister, which means you are Qin Wei's sister? He also said that you should get to know each other better in the future?"

"Yes."

Huo Shiqi chuckled and said happily, "Brother Qin was very warm to me, and it wasn't just superficial politeness. I could feel it. At the table, he was very considerate of me and kept stopping me from drinking too much."

"He seemed to owe Brother Wei some favor, and kept apologizing to Brother Wei, making Brother Wei almost feel embarrassed."

"Also, it seems that even Brother Han owes Brother Wei a favor; I can tell it's all true!"

"Brother Wei wasn't joking. Everything he said before he went has been verified on the table!"

Huo Shiqi's voice grew louder and louder, and she looked incredulous.

After she finished speaking, Zhu Jun breathed a sigh of relief and nodded gently, saying, "It should be good news."

Huo Jiaxiong on the other end of the phone remained silent, seemingly making a judgment in his mind. After a long while, he asked, "What favor does Qin Wei owe Wei Lin?"

Huo Shiqi shook her head and smiled wryly: "Dad, I really don't know about this. Neither of them said anything."

"strangeness."

Huo Jiaxiong muttered something, then said casually, "I recently heard that the Qin family has an heir. Qin Wei's wife is finally pregnant, and the Qin family didn't hide it at all; they've publicized it extensively. Old Master Qin is very happy, he..."

Before Huo Jiaxiong could finish speaking, Zhu Jun suddenly caught the key point and shouted, "Wait! Have Qin Wei and his wife never had children?"

"Yes, we've been married for many years, but we still don't have children."

Huo Jiaxiong replied, then added, "The couple went to many places to look into this matter and argued about it many times. This matter has also become a worry for Old Master Qin, and no one dares to mention it to him."

"So as soon as Qin Wei's wife showed signs of pregnancy, Old Master Qin couldn't hold back any longer and quickly spread the news."

"Now, anyone in Jinling City who knows about the Qin family knows that the old man has a fourth generation."

Huo Jiaxiong explained.

"I know!" Zhu Jun exclaimed, "Old Huo, do you still remember Ma Yungui from Xingui Investment?"

Huo Jiaxiong: "I remember."

"Ma Yungui has worked hard his whole life, but he has also gained nothing! But just recently, Ma Yungui's mistresses got pregnant, and not just one, but two women!" Zhu Jun suddenly understood and said excitedly, "I've been in a lot of contact with Old Ma recently, and he clearly told me that he was able to have children entirely thanks to Wei Lin's mysterious Chinese medicine packet!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Shiqi added, "Wu Feiyu was willing to come because Brother Qin said his wife was pregnant, and he used that as an excuse to invite Wu Feiyu."

"Wu Feiyu? That kid from the Discipline Inspection Commission?" Huo Jiaxiong asked in surprise, "He went too?"

Zhu Jun was taken aback, clearly not expecting Wu Feiyu to be there as well. She quickly explained, "That kid is also a friend of Wei Lin. They met while playing basketball. Last time at Zhao Fulong's private club, Wei Lin encountered some local thugs causing trouble, and it was Wu Feiyu who personally came to arrest them."

Before Huo Jiaxiong could speak, she added, "Old Huo! I'm now certain that Qin Wei's wife's pregnancy was definitely thanks to Wei Lin's herbal medicine packet!"

Huo Jiaxiong immediately understood and muttered, "No wonder."

Qin Wei, or rather the entire Qin family, is most troubled by the fact that he and his wife have no children, because Qin Wei and his wife's families are also a powerful alliance.

If the couple never has children, the marriage will eventually break down, and the ties between the two families will be severed.

Besides the possibility that he might not have a fourth generation, this was another reason why Old Master Qin was worried.

Since this matter was successfully resolved thanks to Wei Lin's mysterious Chinese medicine packet, the entire Qin family will be grateful to Wei Lin, and even Qin Wei's wife's family will feel the same way.

"Old Huo, how are you going to thank me? Wei Lin is my adopted brother!"

Zhu Jun immediately became smug.

"From now on, treat Wei Lin as your own brother, not some random brother you've adopted."

Huo Jiaxiong said.

"Oh no? That won't do!"

Huo Shiqi shook her head repeatedly, annoyed, "I always call him Brother Wei. Mom, if you acknowledge him as your younger brother, then I'll have to call him Uncle Wei?"

Zhu Jun: "Let's each stick to our own arguments!"
