Chapter 2719: Chapter 2719: Various Ways to Curry Favor (2)
The Qin Family and the Hao Family are peculiar, to say the least. Though they bicker and compete both openly and secretly, their relationship is genuinely good. If one family is in trouble, the other will absolutely treat it as their own issue to help. Hence, their young ones do the same, which is why after Hao Jian got involved with Yang Ruxin, Qin Shou got dragged into it as well.
Of course, in the beginning, there were three notorious young masters hanging out with Hao Jian, famously dubbed the "Three Blooming Lords." There’s also the Jiang Family, whose status is similar to that of the Hao and Qin Families. However, Hao Jian and the Beast only interact with Jiang Lilei, while the adults don’t really get involved.
Now that Qin Shou and Hao Jian have turned over a new leaf, they have even less contact with Jiang Lilei. After all, they’re now operating at different levels, and their social standings have definitely become more distinct.
But the Qin Family is well aware of their own position and understands that it’s through their relationship with the Hao Family that they’ve been afforded this opportunity. So they never act high and mighty and always keep the Hao Family in the loop whenever something comes up.
However, if others come to seek favor with the Qin Family, they won’t necessarily inform the Hao Family in advance.
Old Master Qin Hui of the Qin Family frequently "runs into" various family heads, inviting them for drinks one day and to the theater the next.
But recently, people in the Qin Family have noticed that Old Master Qin is being "run into" less frequently. Instead, it’s Mrs. Qin Diaoshi who’s being encountered by other families’ madams and young ladies when she steps out, making the couple hesitant to leave the house casually now.
Even if they don’t go out, someone from the Qin Residence always has to, like the butler, the grocery shopper, or even the night soil remover. They frequently bump into managers or servants from other families, striking up connections, with some even claiming kinship.
Back to the main point.
Qin Diaoshi sat in the room sighing, "Dear, in the past, when people didn’t like our family, I felt upset. But now that they like us too much, why am I still feeling uncomfortable?"
"What’s there to feel uncomfortable about?" Qin Hui glared, "Just be straightforward. Anyone who sees you must respectfully call you Mrs. Qin, right? No problem."
Qin Diaoshi pouted, "Then why are you hiding out at home too? Why aren’t you being straightforward?"
"I..."
"Alright, let’s not mock each other’s shortcomings," Qin Diaoshi waved her hand, "But always hiding isn’t a solution either, is it?"
"Aren’t they all here for that little rascal?" Qin Hui exhaled, "Let him handle it himself."
"He’s a little rascal, so what does that make you?" Qin Diaoshi rolled her eyes.
"I..." Qin Hui was at a loss for words again.
"Alright, tell me, how should that brat handle it?"
"Gather all the interested young ladies and let the boy pick for himself," Qin Hui waved his hand, "If that little bastard could find himself a wife, why is our boy so timid?"
"Fine, you’re the Family Head, you decide. I’ll send out invitations and arrange a party," Qin Diaoshi nodded, "But it’s your responsibility to bring back your son."
"Hmm," Qin Hui nodded, "If he dares not to come back, I’ll kill him."
"If you dare kill him, I’ll kill you." An old lady with a strong voice walked in, leaning on a Dragon Head Walking Stick.
"Mom, why are you getting involved?" Qin Hui went over helplessly to assist the old lady inside.
"Can I not get involved?" The old madam paused, tapping her Dragon Head Walking Stick, "It’s been so many days; you two are cooped up inside all day. Are you planning to give me another grandchild or what?"
