Chapter 58: Loving What You Love, Hating What You Hate (2)
Dinner was originally intended to occur at seven o’clock in the evening. However, due to Old Master Qiao’s sudden departure, it was delayed by an hour.
At 7: 50 pm, Qiao Sen went upstairs to pick Qiao Yunfan up.
Tonight’s meal was chosen at the second restaurant. Two long tables were placed in the dining room, and each table could accommodate fifteen people. The Fang family, both inside and outside, had about seventeen-eighteen people. With the three from the Qiao family joining them, both tables were needed.
Qiao Yunfan, Qiao Sen, and Qiao Sen’s wife, Ji Qing, were all sitting at the main table.
Fang Pingjue and his wife Xu Pingfei, Fang Mu and his wife Fang Qingyun, as well as Fang Mu’s uncle, Fang Pingjun and his wife Fang Yusheng, were all sitting at the main table. The other unmarried youngsters were sitting at another table.
The seats were not casually made. The host and guests sat at the top of the table. Fang Mu and Qiao Jiuyin and Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng were from the younger generation, so they sat down the table.
Coincidentally, both couples sat opposite each other again.
Qiao Jiusheng casually glanced at Fang Mu and Qiao Jiuyin opposite her and coldly thought: Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road.
Exquisite dishes were served one after another.
The table was too long, and two servings of every dish were placed on the table so that everyone could pick up the food.
When dinner started, Qiao Yunfan’s mind was clear. At least, he had stopped talking nonsense.
They were all people of status. Everyone obediently ate. Even when they wanted to speak, their voices were not loud.
At the dining table, Qiao Yunfan drank some wine. Halfway through the banquet, he suddenly stared at Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng down the table. Qiao Sen noticed that his grandfather was looking at Fang Yusheng and Qi Yunsheng and subconsciously became nervous.
Grandpa, Grandpa, please take it easy.
Qiao Yunfan’s gaze swept across Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng’s faces. He suddenly asked Qiao Jiusheng, “Xiao Sheng, is that handsome man beside you our grandson-in-law?”
“…”
Clearly, God did not hear Qiao Sen’s call.
Qiao Jiusheng was stunned.
Beside her, Mr. Charming’s ears turned red for no reason. No one noticed that Fang Yusheng subconsciously sat up straight.
“Ahem!” Qiao Sen lightly coughed. Before Qiao Yunfan could say anything more shocking, he answered first, “Grandpa, yes.”
Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng were speechless.
Qiao Jiuyin tightly gripped her chopsticks and looked at Fang Mu with a frown.
“Huh? When did Xiao Sheng get married?” Qiao Yunfan was a little puzzled. He could not remember when his granddaughter got married. However, this was still a good thing. He suddenly laughed and said, “Good! Good! The third dog can’t do anything else, but your taste is really good. The grandson-in-law you found for me is obviously a dragon among men! Good job!”
“Pfft!”
At the neighboring table, many young children laughed.
At the main table, Qiao Jiusheng was speechless. Qiao Sen could not help but hold his forehead. Qiao Jiuyin’s expression also turned a little strange.
Fang Mu suddenly leaned close to Qiao Jiuyin and asked her, “Xiao Sheng, what is Third Dog?”
Qiao Jiuyin awkwardly said, “Grandpa is spouting nonsense.”
Fang Yusheng held in his laughter and touched Qiao Jiusheng’s leg under the table as if he were mocking her. Where were the three girls they had agreed on?
Qiao Jiusheng looked up at him and realized that Young Master Fang was uncomfortably holding in his laughter.
Big Tiger, Second Black, Third Dog!
Third Dog…
Fang Pingjue, who was quite a serious person, gave Qiao Jiuyin a rare smile when he heard the word “Third Dog.”
“Grandpa, come, eat!”
Ji Qing quickly picked up Qiao Yunfan’s favorite Chinese perch for him.
Qiao Yunfan finally stopped talking.
The meal was quite pleasant. After the meal, Qiao Yunfan sat on the armchair. He called Ji Qing to his side and said something. Ji Qing nodded and walked out of the main hall. After a moment, she walked back into the hall with a small box in her hand.
She handed the box to Qiao Yunfan.
Qiao Yunfan waved at Qiao Jiuyin and Qiao Jiusheng and said, “Second Girl, Fang Mu, come here!”
When Qiao Sen heard that his grandfather had recognized the wrong person again, he was tired. He could not be bothered to correct him.
Qiao Jiuyin tugged at Fang Mu’s hand and said to him, “Don’t fuss over it with Grandpa. He can’t recognize people anymore.”
Fang Mu nodded and walked to Qiao Yunfan with Qiao Jiuyin.
Qiao Yunfan nodded and looked at Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng, who were talking together in the distance. He shouted, “Third Dog, bring your little boyfriend over here too.”
