After a flash marriage, I found myself marrying into a wealthy family
Chapter 42 The lingering ghost
Ji Beichen's office is comfortable and quiet.
Qiao Yue was fully focused and wrote her homework at an unexpectedly fast speed.
Unknowingly, she seemed a little sleepy, so she lay down on the table, intending to take a nap.
She woke up in a daze and was surprised to find that she had fallen asleep!
Qiao Yue looked at her watch and saw that it was around four o'clock in the afternoon and she had slept for almost an hour.
Ji Beichen has finished the meeting and is currently sitting at the desk outside and busy working.
Qiao Yue rubbed her eyes, took a sip of coffee, and woke up.
"She said she was going to do her homework, but she ended up coming to my place to sleep."
Ji Beichen leaned leisurely at the door of the conference room, looked at her and said.
Qiao Yue: "I've almost finished writing, so I took a nap..."
Ji Beichen smiled, "Let's stay here for a while and have dinner together later."
"I..." Qiao Yue hesitated to speak.
"What?" Ji Beichen asked, "Do you have any plans tonight?"
Qiao Yue nodded, "I originally planned to have dinner with grandpa today."
Ji Beichen thought for a while and then said, "I haven't had dinner with grandpa for a long time. I'll go too tonight."
"Aren't you having a social event tonight?" Qiao Yue asked doubtfully, "That's what Xiaolin said just now."
Ji Beichen paused for a moment, and then said, "The entertainment... has changed the time."
"Oh..." Qiao Yue answered, "Li Qian should be free too, I'll call her."
"Okay, you decide." After Ji Beichen finished speaking, he walked back to his desk and continued his work.
Qiao Yue took out her mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to her grandfather and Li Qian, then called to make a reservation at the hotel.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Ji Beichen finished his work and the couple left the company.
The hotel we booked was located near my uncle's house, so it was considered nearby. Grandpa liked the roast goose in this restaurant the most, so Qiao Yue chose this place specially.
The distance was close enough that Li Qian walked directly with her grandfather when she returned from get off work.
So Qiao Yue and his wife went directly to the restaurant to meet them.
Qiao Yue booked a private room called 'Shuiyunjian'.
The waiter took them both to the door of the private room, and Qiao Yue opened the door.
The couple was stunned for a moment.
In the room, besides grandpa and Li Qian, there was also Qi Jiajun.
Ji Beichen looked at Qi Jiajun and felt very unhappy in his heart. Why was this man still lingering?
Qiao Yue looked at Ji Beichen in confusion, and then whispered, "I didn't call him..."
Ji Beichen's eyes moved slightly, and his expression quickly returned to its usual calmness.
He held Qiao Yue's hand, signaled that she was okay, and then walked in.
"Grandpa." Ji Beichen and Qiao Yue shouted.
"Here you go, sit down quickly." Grandpa responded happily.
Qiao Yue and Ji Beichen sat on Grandpa's right hand side, while Li Qian and Qi Jiajun were on the other side.
"We meet again." Qi Jiajun said.
Qiao Yue smiled awkwardly and did not reply.
Grandpa said cheerfully, "I met Xiao Qi on the road just now. He said he didn't eat either, so he asked me to come with him."
"Yes, there are so many people and it's so lively," Qi Jiajun said deliberately, "Mr. Ji, you won't be unwelcome, right?"
"How could that be?" Ji Beichen replied, "The most important thing is that the old man is happy."
Both Qiao Yue and Li Qian felt the competition between the two people.
Li Qian interrupted, "We just ordered some dishes. See what you like and order some more."
Ji Beichen picked up the menu and handed it to Qiao Yue, "You decide. Anyway, I like everything you order."
Qiao Yue smiled, took the menu, and ordered a few more dishes.
The waiter came in with a pot of tea. Qi Jiajun immediately stood up and poured his grandfather a cup of tea.
Grandpa said, "Xiao Qi, don't be busy, we can do it ourselves."
Qi Jiajun replied, "Taking care of grandpa is what we juniors should do."
He kept calling him grandpa anyway.
Qiao Yue and Ji Beichen looked at each other, feeling a little uncomfortable inside.
But to stop him because of this would not only be embarrassing, but also weird.
Ji Beichen looked at his grandfather and asked, "This tea is Tieguanyin. I remember you prefer drinking Pu'er?"
Grandpa nodded immediately and said, "Yes, yes, Pu'er has more tea flavor. The tea you gave me last time was very good!"
Ji Beichen glanced at Qi Jiajun contemptuously, and then continued talking about tea with his grandfather.
"Grandpa said he has some Pu'er in his collection and asked me to take you to his house to taste tea when I have time."
Grandpa was very happy and said, "Okay, I'll make an appointment with him and go."
Qiao Yue looked at them both and felt very happy inside.
In the first round, Qi Jiajun obviously lost. He sat beside him silently, silently drinking Tieguanyin which had no tea flavor.
After chatting for a while, the food started to be served.
Qi Jiajun was naturally very diligent in picking up food for his grandfather and taking care of his old man.
Grandpa couldn't help but admire, "Xiao Qi is so attentive. Any girl from any family who marries you will definitely be very happy."
"Grandpa deserves a prize."
Qi Jiajun felt that he had regained a victory and smiled proudly.
Ji Beichen's face was expressionless and he didn't even look at him.
Qi Jiajun was very attentive and gave Qiao Yue a piece of shiitake mushroom, "Yue Yue, eat more."
Qiao Yue was stunned for a moment and could only nod her thanks.
The next second, Ji Beichen reached over with his chopsticks and took away the piece of mushroom.
Qi Jiajun suddenly felt unhappy and asked in a lowered voice, "What do you mean?!"
Ji Beichen glanced at him and said, "It's not interesting."
Then he said, "Oh, don't you know that Qiao Yue doesn't like mushrooms?"
Grandpa answered, "Yes, Yueyue has not eaten mushrooms since she was a child, even if you give her money to coax her into eating them."
Li Qian also nodded in agreement.
Qi Jiajun's expression froze.
Ji Beichen raised his eyebrows and said deliberately, "No wonder Xiao Qi doesn't know that Yueyue doesn't eat mushrooms. Only people who are very close to her know."
Qi Jiajun looked slightly embarrassed and wanted to refute but had nothing to say.
Qiao Yue felt her head hurt as she watched the two of them going back and forth.
Qi Jiajun also had to squeeze into their dinner party.
She originally wanted to have a good meal with her grandpa, but now Qi Jiajun is comparing openly and secretly, which really ruins the atmosphere.
Fortunately, Ji Beichen behaved very appropriately. Grandpa was accompanied by his grandson-in-law, so he ate happily.
The meal was finally finished, and Qiao Yue was about to get up to pay the bill.
Qi Jiajun stood up immediately, "Yueyue, let me pay the bill. We haven't seen you for so long. If you give me a chance, I'll treat you and grandpa to dinner."
Qiao Yue was about to refuse.
Ji Beichen said, "The order has been purchased."
He just went out to answer the phone and paid for the order.
Qiao Yue looked at him, nodded and smiled.
Ji Beichen looked at Qi Jiajun coldly again and said, "I'm sorry, you have no chance."
Qi Jiajun stared at him with an unyielding expression.
Li Qian immediately spoke to smooth things over, "Just pay the bill, let's leave quickly."
The group walked out of the door.
Grandpa said happily, "I'm really happy to eat today, but I ate too much."
Qiao Yue smiled and said, "Then I'll take a walk with you to eat."
Grandpa nodded happily, "Okay, that's great."
Qi Jiajun immediately answered, "Let's take a walk together and eat while we're at it."
Grandpa looked at Qi Jiajun with a smile, "Xiao Qi, you and Li Qian go back first. My granddaughter, grandson-in-law, and I will take a walk together."
Qiao Yue and Ji Beichen looked at each other and smiled in understanding.
It seems that grandpa has noticed Qi Jiajun's thoughts.
Ginger is still old and spicy.
Qi Jiajun still wanted to fight for it, but Li Qian held him back, "Let's go first. They are going for a walk as a family, and we outsiders should not get involved."
Then he forced Qi Jiajun to leave.
Grandpa smiled with satisfaction, holding Qiao Yue with one hand and Ji Beichen with the other.
"Let's go for a walk as a family!"
