Sour Pickled Peanuts

Chapter 812 You're Joking, Right?

Qin Hanchu looked at Qi Yuehan and the other person, and they were also looking at Qin Hanchu.

Qi Yuehan's boyfriend, in particular, looked at Qin Hanchu with an unusual gaze.

"It's you, long time no see." Qin Hanchu didn't expect to be so fated to meet Qi Yuehan on the first day he came out of seclusion.

Qi Yuehan smiled and said, "Yes, it's been over three years since we last met."

"Is this your boyfriend?" Qin Hanchu glanced at the handsome guy beside Qi Yuehan.

"Yes." Qi Yuehan nodded first, then looked at Axiang and Baili Cai Xia, "Who are these two?"

"This is my wife." Qin Hanchu first introduced Axiang, then he put his arm around Baili Cai Xia's shoulder and said, "This is my daughter!"

"Daughter... Daughter?" Qi Yuehan's eyes widened in disbelief, "Are you kidding me?"

Qin Hanchu said, "I'm not kidding you, she is truly my daughter. Don't let our youthful appearances fool you, we are actually your elders."

"This..."

Qi Yuehan and her boyfriend were stunned.

Primarily, Qin Hanchu and Axiang did not look like middle-aged people at all.

Just as the two were shocked, Qi Yuehan's boyfriend's phone rang.

"Hello, Mom." Qi Yuehan's boyfriend answered the phone.

"Son, hurry to the hospital. Your dad was beaten up," a woman's anxious voice came from the phone.

After hanging up, Qi Yuehan's boyfriend said anxiously, "There's an emergency at home, I have to go."

Qi Yuehan quickly nodded, "Go ahead."

After Qi Yuehan's boyfriend left, Baili Cai Xia smiled at Qi Yuehan and said, "We're going to eat, why don't you join us?"

Qi Yuehan felt a little embarrassed, "Will it bother your family?"

"It's fine, more people means more lively," Baili Cai Xia said with a smile.

"We're not familiar with this place, could you take us to a good place to eat?"

Having cultivated for so long, Axiang and Baili Cai Xia also wanted to chat with someone.

Although Qi Yuehan and Qin Hanchu were not close, they knew each other.

For this reason, Axiang invited Qi Yuehan to eat together and chat casually.

"Okay, I know a great barbecue restaurant." Seeing that Axiang and Baili Cai Xia had invited her together, Qi Yuehan agreed.

Led by Qi Yuehan, the family of three left the mall.

Not long after, they entered a barbecue restaurant.

"The food in this barbecue restaurant is very fresh, and the marinated flavor is excellent," Qi Yuehan said with a smile after they were seated. "By the way, their ice cream and pastries are also delicious."

"Oh really? I love ice cream the most."

Although Baili Cai Xia had reached the Immortal Saint realm, it didn't stop her from enjoying urban food.

She loved things that girls liked, such as ice cream and spicy hot pot.

After ordering, the four of them chatted.

"Can I ask you something?" Qi Yuehan asked a little shyly.

Axiang smiled, "What do you want to ask?"

"How do you two maintain your skin? Can I stay young and beautiful like you?"

As a woman, Qi Yuehan naturally wanted to stay youthful, which was why she asked this question.

Baili Cai Xia said, "It's related to individual constitution, and they haven't done any special skincare."

"Yes, we both have a 'frozen age' physique, so there's not much reference value."

Qin Hanchu didn't intend to tell Qi Yuehan that he was an immortal, so he used "frozen age" to brush it off.

"I really envy you," Qi Yuehan said with a smile.

As they were talking, the waiter brought the ingredients.

At that moment, an acquaintance appeared before Qin Hanchu.

"It's you!"

This acquaintance was none other than Qiu Jie, the grandson of Old Qiu.

The current Qiu Jie was no longer the rich young master he once was. He was wearing a barbecue restaurant uniform and was working as a waiter here.

When Qin Hanchu saw Qiu Jie, Qiu Jie also saw Qin Hanchu.

Qiu Jie's expression was first one of surprise, then he became excited.

It was precisely because he had provoked Qin Hanchu that Qiu Jie was expelled from the Qiu family by Old Qiu.

Although Qiu Jie's parents still secretly gave him money, Qiu Jie no longer had the arrogance he once possessed.

Over the past three years, Qiu Jie had been searching for Qin Hanchu everywhere.

As long as he could obtain Qin Hanchu's forgiveness, he could return to the Qiu family earlier.

*Thump!*

Qiu Jie suddenly knelt before Qin Hanchu.

This scene startled the surrounding diners.

"What's going on? Why is this waiter kneeling to this person?"

"I don't know, they didn't seem to have any conflict."

Not only were the diners startled, but the barbecue restaurant's staff were also bewildered.

"Xiao Jie, what are you doing?" a female waiter asked.

Qiu Jie ignored these people and hurriedly said to Qin Hanchu, "It was my fault before, please forgive me."

Qin Hanchu was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"I offended you before, so my grandfather expelled me from the Qiu family."

"Please forgive me, I will never be arrogant and overbearing again."

Qiu Jie quickly explained.

"So that's what it is."

After hearing Qiu Jie's explanation, Qin Hanchu finally understood what had happened.

He hadn't expected Old Qiu to expel Qiu Jie from the Qiu family for that matter.

It seemed that the Qiu family's upbringing was quite strict.

"I want to eat now," Qin Hanchu said after a moment's thought.

"I'll go back to work, call me if you need anything."

Qiu Jie dared not pester them further. After saying this, he quickly retreated.

"What's going on?" Axiang asked after Qiu Jie left.

Seeing Axiang ask, Qin Hanchu then recounted the previous events.

"This Old Qiu is quite decent, not indulging his descendants," Axiang said after listening to Qin Hanchu's explanation.

Baili Cai Xia asked curiously, "Dad, are you planning to forgive him?"

"As long as he mends his ways, even if I don't forgive him, Old Qiu will let him return to the Qiu family."

After all, Qiu Jie was a direct descendant of the Qiu family, and Old Qiu could not truly abandon him.

His expulsion of Qiu Jie from the family was ultimately just to temper him.

"Which Old Qiu are you referring to? Could it be the chairman of Qiu Corporation?" Qi Yuehan asked curiously.

Qin Hanchu shook his head, "I don't know what his family does."

"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's eat meat." Baili Cai Xia picked up a piece of grilled meat and placed it in Qin Hanchu's bowl.

Qin Hanchu smiled, "Thank you."

Baili Cai Xia picked up another piece of meat and put it into Axiang's bowl, "Mom, you eat too."

"So filial today?" Axiang teased.

Baili Cai Xia laughed, "I've always been filial!"

...

At the Qiu family villa, the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.

Since a year ago, Old Qiu's health had been deteriorating.

To this day, Old Qiu could no longer move without a wheelchair.

To help Old Qiu recuperate, the Qiu family had consulted numerous famous doctors, but none had achieved significant results.

Just then, Qiu Jie's father's phone rang.

Seeing it was Qiu Jie's number, Qiu Jie's father hurried out of the villa.

Not long after, he returned hurriedly and said, "Xiao Jie has found Mr. Baili who treated Meiling."
