Qin Qiao'er wore a mask when she went out today. The children's restaurant had good security, so she took off her mask as soon as she entered.
Coincidentally, this waiter didn't usually pay much attention to news and the internet. So besides thinking that the two of them were good - looking and well - matched, and feeling quite envious, he didn't show any abnormal reaction.
"Okay, we've ordered these dishes."
Qin Chenchen placed the menu he had chosen in front of Qin Qiao'er. She took it and then passed it to Zhao Youting.
"You order."
Zhao Youting smiled gently. He selected a few dishes according to Qin Qiao'er's preferences and then gave all the menus to the waiter.
"That's all."
The waiter took the menus and quickly left. He said the atmosphere here was so enviable that he couldn't stand it.
Soon, all the dishes were served. The food here was really good. No wonder Tu Qinqin had strongly recommended this place.
The meal was extremely enjoyable, especially for the two children. Their smiles never faded.
After the meal, Qin Qiao'er and Zhao Youting took the children back, but eventually they had to go their separate ways.
In the car, Zhao Youting looked a bit helpless. He said softly, "Qin Qiao'er, won't you really come and live in my villa?"
"I have my own home. I don't need to go to yours! Besides, I'm still single..."
She turned her head and looked out of the car window. The car was driving fast, and all the pedestrians and things outside became a bit of a blur.
After being well - fed, the two little babies felt sleepy. They leaned against Qin Qiao'er and fell asleep soundly.
Hearing this, Zhao Youting felt a bit sad. He wished he could take these three mother and children into his arms right away, but... his parents at home wouldn't agree to this so easily.
"Okay, I'm not in a hurry."
I'm not in a hurry. You'll surely be mine one day. I'm not in a hurry. Qin Chenchen and Qin Wanwan will surely be mine too.
Although Qin Qiao'er didn't understand the meaning behind his words, she was in a fairly good mood because she knew that Zhao Youting loved her. Just this fact made her satisfied. There was still a long way to go in the future, and she wasn't in a hurry at all.
After sending Qin Qiao'er and the two babies home, the babies said goodbye to Zhao Youting reluctantly.
As soon as Qin Qiao'er got home, she received a call from Tu Qinqin.
"Qin Qiao'er, what are you doing?"
"I'm at home. Why? Qinqin, do you have something to tell me?" Qin Qiao'er asked in confusion.
"...Well, there's something. Your 'nice' elder sister contacted me and asked if you were available. She said she wanted to have a meal with you. And it seems that she'll have some contact with you in the following days..."
The usually carefree Tu Qinqin stammered a bit on the phone, which made Qin Qiao'er quite confused.
"What's going on? Doesn't she look down on me? Why would she invite me to dinner? And what exactly do you mean by your latter words?"
After putting the two little babies down for a nap, Qin Qiao'er sat on the sofa, full of confusion.
She never expected that her "nice" elder sister would want to have a meal with her. She was just glad that her sister didn't eat her alive.
Xiaohua was also a popular star, but she had been having a hard time recently. The reason she became famous in the first place was because of Zhao Youting.
Now without Zhao Youting as her backer, in the entertainment circle full of beautiful women, this actress with no distinctive features had no long - term prospects.
Xiaohua was jealous of Qin Qiao'er, and Qin Qiao'er was well aware of it. Moreover, because of her immoral father, she had been constantly oppressed by Xiaohua since childhood.
"Aren't you free now? I'll just find something for you to do. You're a top - tier star after all. Even though you already have a high level of popularity, you can't slack off. Do you still remember what we said before we entered the circle?" Tu Qinqin said seriously on the other end of the phone.
"I know. Did you find me another job, and I'll be cooperating with Xiaohua? Of course I remember what we said. I'll work hard."
She was immediately inspired by Tu Qinqin's words and became full of fighting spirit.
"Song Qianqian is still the same. She really loves to act beyond her means..."
When Qin Qiao'er arrived at the appointment place, she couldn't help sneering. "She really thinks she's the high - and - mighty daughter of the Song family, and people will flock to her at her beck and call... Well, what's the use of me saying this now..."
She was no longer someone who had to rely on Song Qianqian's favor.
There was a time when she and Qin Yalan had to hide and dodge because of Song Qianqian and her son. They were like two mice hiding in the dark corners, constantly facing Song Qianqian's harassment.
Those days seemed like they were just yesterday. Whenever Qin Qiao'er thought about them, she didn't think the workload arranged by Tu Qinqin was a problem.
Only by standing higher and living better could she get rid of the shadow cast by Song Qianqian and the Song family.
Now seeing Song Qianqian wearing last - year's popular clothes and a cautious smile on her face, Qin Qiao'er suddenly felt a sense of relief and pride.
She walked gracefully to the table and sat down opposite Song Qianqian. She stared at Song Qianqian in silence, trying to find out how Song Qianqian had changed.
"Song Qianqian, look at what you've become. Are you still the Song Qianqian I remember?"
Qin Qiao'er remembered that during their school days, thanks to Song Yunshen's generosity, she and Song Qianqian were in the same school. But Song Qianqian was like the moon surrounded by stars, while she was just a shabby girl.
She was constantly ostracized by her classmates every day. She had to study hard to improve herself and also face Song Qianqian's occasional outbursts of temper.
It was quite common for her to carry water and schoolbags for Song Qianqian, and to be harassed and teased by Song Qianqian and her followers.
Whenever the teachers couldn't bear it and stood up for her once, Qin Qiao'er could have a few days of peace. But the next time, Song Qianqian and the others would treat her even more harshly.
They would secretly throw away Qin Qiao'er's homework, knock over her lunch box, and even spread all kinds of rumors... All these situations made the teachers dare not help Qin Qiao'er. It was not only because the Song family was wealthy and powerful but also because they felt sorry for Qin Qiao'er.
No one wanted their kindness to become the beginning of someone else's suffering. Qin Qiao'er always had mixed feelings whenever she thought about it.
"...Since you're willing to lower your head in front of me, it seems that the situation of the Song family is not optimistic.
Song Qianqian, cut the crap. Just tell me straight away what you want from me. I'm very busy." Qin Qiao'er felt bored looking at Song Qianqian like this.
It would be very easy for her to take revenge on Song Qianqian now. The declining Song family couldn't offer Song Qianqian any help. Maybe they would even step on Song Qianqian to make her help the Song family.
But if she did that, what was the difference between her and Song Qianqian? Qin Qiao'er would never want to become a person like Song Qianqian.
"Qin Qiao'er, you..." Song Qianqian tried hard to hold back her temper and stared at Qin Qiao'er.
