Chapter 362: Chapter 362 Why Are You Looking at ? Chapter 362: Chapter 362 Why Are You Looking at ? However, in her heart, she was still pondering, wasn’t Qin Yize quite opposed to her helping Zhou Xue?
Why did he have Chu Chengfeng help her investigate Zheng Xiao and Zhou Xue’s situation then?
Gu Qiaoqiao suppressed her doubts.
They soon finished eating, and Gu Qiaoqiao sipped on her orange juice, leaning back in her chair.
She glanced around; the place was still bustling.
Yet their table was quiet.
No one ca to disturb them.
Seeing the way people from the West City District were winking and gesturing at them, Gu Qiaoqiao understood.
These people thought that since she and Qin Yize spent so little ti together, they should not disturb the couple whenever they were together, thinking they were being considerate.
Qin Yize had also finished eating.
But he sat upright in his chair, drinking plain water.
It didn’t look like he was eating; it was more like he was at a eting.
Gu Qiaoqiao chewed on her straw, her bright eyes rotating a few tis over Qin Yize’s body.
In Qin Yize’s eyes, she looked incredibly cute.
So, he put down his water glass.
His gaze t Gu Qiaoqiao’s in the air, and he asked, “Why are you looking at ?”
Ah?
Gu Qiaoqiao was startled.
She paused for a mont in her orange juice sipping.
Blinking her eyes, Gu Qiaoqiao directly asked, “Didn’t you say that helping would be interfering with their marriage? Why did you still have Chu Chengfeng help check into this matter?”
“There are two sides to every matter; they don’t conflict with each other.”
“Oh, how so?”
“To investigate whether Gu Yajing did anything illegal back then. If she did, she won’t escape the punishnt of the law,” Qin Yize calmly explained.
“What do you think Gu Cheng would do if she really did break the law?” Gu Qiaoqiao asked curiously.
“You can take a guess,” Qin Yize said, his eyebrows slightly arched and his voice teasing.
“How would I know?” Gu Qiaoqiao rolled her eyes.
“It’s too early to talk about this now.”
Gu Qiaoqiao fell silent because An Xiaotong and Shang Qing were walking towards their table.
anwhile, Qin Yize politely nodded his head and walked over to where Chu Chengfeng and others were seated.
The banquet ended successfully.
No one had expected the banquet to last until four o’clock in the afternoon.
It was almost ti for dinner.
But for these people, it had been many years since they had such a good opportunity to gather together—and so completely at that.
For those who were beyond their seventieth year, it was a precious opportunity.
The guests had all left.
And Ning Wanru seed to feel there was no need to continue the act, or perhaps she found Lady Yu’s smile irritating.
So, claiming that her blood pressure was high, she hurriedly left with the support of Gu Cheng.
Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize accompanied the Old Patriarch to the kitchen.
Uncle Gu followed behind with a leather bag in hand.
They were headed to hand out red envelopes to Master Fong and other hard-working chefs.
This was a gesture of ceremony, a recognition, and encouragent for the chefs.
Though everyone was familiar, Master Fong didn’t refuse.
Behind him were a group of staff mbers who had worked overti for the banquet.
The kitchen staff were thrilled to see the Old Patriarch of Yubao Square arrive.
The Old Patriarch was the unseen wealthiest man in the Imperial Capital, and since this was his kinship recognition banquet, his red envelopes were bound to be generous.
Sure enough.
While others usually carried red envelopes in their pockets, theirs were brought in a leather bag.
When the bag opened and a stack of red envelopes was taken out, everyone’s eyes lit up instantly.
The Old Patriarch was happy and naturally generous.
And today’s kinship recognition banquet was very successful, even better than expected.
