"Dad. What did you call me back for?" Qin Si Yue didn't realize her father was angry because of her.
She ran forward carelessly.
Qin Xiu Zhi pushed the water cup in front of him away and glared at her, "You still have the nerve to ask me what's going on.
I'm asking you, your boyfriend, isn't he not coming this weekend?"
"Yes. He received an important order last night and has to work overtime. He can't come this weekend," Qin Si Yue replied cautiously.
She had only told her grandmother about this last night and planned to tell her father in a couple of days. She didn't expect him to know in advance.
It must have been her grandmother who accidentally let it slip.
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiu Zhi's voice suddenly rose, "Si Yue, you are the number one socialite in our city K. How can you tolerate being treated like this by him?
It only shows how low your status is in his heart. You might as well not have such a boyfriend."
"Xiu Zhi, what nonsense are you talking about?" At this moment, Xu Zhi Lan suddenly walked out from the inner room.
Upon seeing her, Yin Xi quickly stepped forward to support her, "Grandmother." kanshuwu.xi
"Ah, Xi Xi is here." Xu Zhi Lan's tense face eased slightly upon seeing her.
"Mom, I'm just telling the truth. That fellow surnamed Han is just a police captain. Compared to our family, he's like heaven and earth. What right does he have to be so arrogant?
He agreed to come at first, but then changed his mind. How can that not make people angry?" Qin Xiu Zhi was still filled with indignation.
Xu Zhi Lan slowly sat beside him and sharply tapped the coffee table with her cane.
Jiang Jie, standing on Qin Xiu Zhi's other side, was startled and almost spilled the water in her cup.
"Xiu Zhi, you have truly disappointed me. I never expected these words to come from your mouth.
What's wrong with being a police officer? Are they beneath you businessmen?
Don't forget, without their selfless dedication, their fearlessness in the face of hardship, sacrificing their small families for the greater good, where would our peaceful world and quiet years be?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Mom, you are right. I was shortsighted." Hearing this, Qin Xiu Zhi's heart trembled, and he quickly apologized.
"But this is the first time he's coming to his girlfriend's house. He should take it seriously.
Couldn't he swap shifts with someone else?"
"Si Yue, you tell your father what exactly happened," Xu Zhi Lan glanced at him and said irritably.
Qin Si Yue blinked her beautiful big eyes and replied, "Dad, he received an urgent order last night and is going on a business trip out of town this morning to handle a major case.
He might not be able to come back this weekend, so he canceled."
"Then call him and ask him when he will have time to visit our house," Qin Xiu Zhi raised his hand to his forehead, feeling a bit dizzy.
"Alright." Seeing that her father was still fixated on the matter, Qin Si Yue had no choice but to call Han Hao Ming.
"Hello, are you busy now?"
"Yes. My dad wants to talk to you and ask when you'll be visiting our house."
"Okay. Wait a moment." After speaking with Han Hao Ming on the phone, Qin Si Yue handed the phone to Qin Xiu Zhi.
She even deliberately turned on the speakerphone.
"Hello, Uncle!" Han Hao Ming on the other end of the phone spoke first.
"Hello." Upon hearing this, Qin Xiu Zhi's face instantly broke into a smile, and his voice softened considerably, a complete transformation from before.
"Little Han, Si Yue said you're on duty out of town?"
"Yes. I apologize, Uncle. Things were arranged, but because of work, it had to be postponed." Han Hao Ming's voice was deep and magnetic.
Qin Xiu Zhi quickly said, "It's alright, it's alright. Work is important. The profession of a police officer is special, always on call, and beyond your control."
Hearing this, Qin Si Yue couldn't help but exchange a glance with Xu Zhi Lan, almost dropping her jaw.
When did her father ever speak so amiably?
Did her grandmother's words just "wake him up"?
"Thank you for your understanding, Uncle." Han Hao Ming on the other end of the phone seemed a little touched. "I've explained the situation to the director, and he has guaranteed that he won't arrange anything for me next weekend.
I plan to visit you next Saturday."
"Good, good, that's great. We'll all welcome you then." Qin Xiu Zhi smiled from ear to ear, his joy overflowing.
