After saying that, she stepped on the accelerator, not allowing Zhou Qi to refuse.

Soon, they came to a very unique outdoor barbecue stall.

The three of them sat down and ordered some snacks. It was quite comfortable to eat skewers and drink beer in the breeze.

They didn't even use a cup, they blew directly into the bottle.

At one point, Zhou Qi smiled and said, "Qianqian, how many times have you rolled your eyes at me today? Have you counted them yourself?"

"You deserve it." Du Qianqian muttered, "From the first time I saw you on the train, I felt that you were not a good person. You always talked nonsense. Jun is different. He is honest and doesn't talk much."

"Come on, Jun, let's have a drink." She raised the bottle to Jiang Jun.

But Du Qianqian stopped and said, "No, Jun, you knew he was lying to me, but you didn't remind me. Instead, you just watched the fun from the sidelines. You are even worse!"

As she spoke, she took a sip of wine alone.

Jiang Jun smiled and continued drinking.

After putting down the bottle, Du Qianqian looked at Zhou Qi and said half-jokingly: "If there is anything else you haven't told me, I'll give you a chance to confess it all at once, and I can forgive you. Otherwise, when I get angry, even I'll be afraid of myself."

Zhou Qi smiled and responded: "Your father has already found out everything. I can't hide it even if I want to."

Du Qianqian lowered her head and said softly, "I'm sorry..." Her eyes were full of apology, "I didn't know about this until now. If I had known earlier, I..."

Zhou Qi smiled and shook his head, interrupting her: "It's okay, I understand. Your father is also concerned about you."

At this point, Du Qianqian paused, as if to organize her thoughts, and then mustered up the courage to speak: "Actually, legally, he is not my biological father..."

"Regarding your cooperation with your father..." The words lingered in her throat for a long time, and also explained the purpose of this meal.

Zhou Qi invested 400 million yuan in the establishment of the real estate company and decided to let her be the legal representative. Considering their relationship, Du Qianqian felt it necessary to clarify the facts to avoid misunderstandings.

Zhou Qi saw her concerns and gently comforted her: "I know what you want to say. In fact, the matter is not complicated. I only made this decision because I trust you."

Talking about Du Qianqian's father, Zhou Qi added: "No matter from which angle you look at it, his love for you is obvious. You can understand and accept each other's relationship, which is really not easy."

Du Qianqian's mother was a very beautiful woman, but she never pursued fame; and Du Qianqian herself was able to face this reality calmly, which surprised many people.

"I knew you would see through all this." Du Qianqian sighed softly, "Except for you, no one knows that I am Du Bowen's daughter."

"It's good this way," she continued, "I don't have to be bound by the outside world's views. My father doesn't force me to do anything, nor does he publicly acknowledge our relationship. This is actually to protect me and my mother."

After figuring this out, Du Qianqian felt much more relaxed. "You could even say I'm lucky."

The next day, Zhou Qi stayed in Nanyue Province to handle company registration matters.

Du Qianqian temporarily put down the work at hand and accompanied Zhou Qi and his friend Jiang Jun on a tour.

As for the charity gala, Du Qianqian did not show much interest.

When night fell, Zhou Qi went to the DoubleTree Hotel alone to attend the upcoming charity dinner.

In the parking lot of this luxury hotel, all kinds of luxury cars are neatly lined up, and gentlemen in suits and ladies in evening gowns come and go.

Among this group of people, Zhou Qi got out of a taxi and stood out.

Du Bowen wanted to personally welcome Zhou Qi, but Zhou Qi declined. He thought that it was enough to take a taxi to the dinner, and there was no need for too much pomp and circumstance.

After all, whether you take a luxury car or an ordinary taxi, you still have to rely on your own legs to get to the venue.

The service staff noticed Zhou Qi's arrival, and there was a hint of confusion in their eyes, as if they thought such an occasion was not suitable for someone who came by taxi.

However, Zhou Qi ignored these glances. He directly showed the invitation and walked towards the venue without stopping, leaving the waiter who was about to stop him speechless and could only shake his head in dissatisfaction.

At this moment, a white BMW slowly stopped. The waiter hurried forward and opened the door, and Du Renliang walked out of the car.

His eyes inadvertently caught the figure of Zhou Qi leaving in front of him, and he was stunned for a moment, cursing in a low voice: "It's really a narrow road for enemies, how can I meet this guy here!"

After hearing his friend's words, He Zhicheng walked over, his smile revealing a bit of confidence and unruliness.

The two were good friends who met while studying abroad. At the moment, Du Renliang was in a bad mood because of the problems in his family business Huaning, so he came to He Zhicheng to relax.

"What are you mumbling about?" He Zhicheng asked.

"Oh, nothing, maybe I saw it wrong." Du Renliang covered up, but thought in his heart that maybe it was just the backs that were similar.

As the guests arrived one after another, the entire charity dinner became lively.

When Du Bowen arrived at the scene, he immediately became the focus of everyone's attention, demonstrating his lofty status in the local business community.

While talking with the guests, Du Bowen was searching for Zhou Qi in the crowd, looking forward to the arrival of this special guest.

In a busy place, Du Bowen unexpectedly found Zhou Qi.

What surprised him even more was that the person standing next to Zhou Qi was actually his daughter Du Qianqian.

He couldn't help but be shocked: Qianqian has never liked such occasions. She has refused several invitations before, but this time she would be with Zhou Qi.

Du Bowen smiled slightly. He had originally planned to introduce some friends to Zhou Qi, but now it seemed that he would do so later. However, Du Bowen was not the only one who noticed this scene. He Zhicheng also saw them.

"Where did this guy come from?" He Zhicheng said angrily.

Hearing this, Du Renliang followed his line of sight and was stunned for a moment. Then he rubbed his eyes and confirmed that it was Zhou Qi. He couldn't help but whispered, "It's really him."

"Do you know this guy? Who is he?" He Zhicheng asked.

Du Renliang looked at Zhou Qi, then at He Zhicheng, and did not answer directly, but asked in return: "Do you have a conflict with him?"

He Zhicheng gritted his teeth: "He is sitting with my girlfriend now, what do you think?"

Du Renliang was secretly pleased with himself. He smiled and shook his head, saying, "I don't know his background, but he is definitely not a simple person. I suggest you don't provoke him easily. It's not worth it for a woman."

In fact, Du Renliang's words contained a provocation. He implied that He Zhicheng was incompetent and could only watch his woman being intimate with others but dared not do anything.
