The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother - Chapter 141

Chapter 141 – Failed Matchmaking (1)

Yan Shuyu, focused on what she was doing, did not notice a group of guests who had just finished their meal and were walking out of a private room. One of the men, when he saw their table from afar, his eyes bulged out so much that his eyeballs almost fell out of his sockets.

The man looked to be 2-3 years younger than Zhou Qinhe and was also the youngest in the group. He did, however, appeared to be the leader among the group.

The group of them were laughing and smiling, but one by one, they stopped in their paths as they noticed his odd look.

“Boss Qin, what’s the matter?”

Boss Qin didn’t say anything, so everybody looked in the direction that he was looking at. Some of them looked at a loss and some others were shocked.

“Isn’t that Boss Zhou? One of them must be the little prince of the Zhou’s?”

The group of business elites started gossiping. “I thought Boss Zhou only has one son. Why are there two kids over there.”

“The woman sitting across from him doesn’t look very familiar. Is she a socialite from one of the prestigious families?”

Qin Sirui, the young master of the Qin’s, hearing the gossiping behind his back finally recollected himself. He waved at the people behind him and said, “You guys go first. I am going to say hi to Boss Zhou.”

Everyone behind him were upper management of the Qin’s, and they were all aware that the Qin’s and the Zhou’s have always had a good relationship with each other. Now that they have run into Boss Zhou, it’d only be polite to say hi. But, looking at Boss Zhou spending time with his “family”, there was no reason for the rest of them to walk up to him also.

The group agreed and left Boss Qin behind at the restaurant.

Qin Sirui walked over to Yan Shuyu’s table and greeted Zhou Qinhe in a familiar voice, “Brother He, I’ve heard that you won’t be attending the art show today. I see you are here for seafood instead.”

He was referring to his cousin’s art show. Xie Yuxuan, his cousin, returned from overseas six months ago and ran into Boss Zhou once at a banquet. It was love at first sight for her. His aunt knew that he was friends with Boss Zhou, so she had asked him to help with setting them up. Qin Sirui would be happy to see the two work out. His company has some business projects with the Zhou’s recently, so if his cousin could become a couple with Boss Zhou, it would naturally be a win-win for him.

Plus, his cousin wasn’t half bad.

Xie Yuxuan was a somewhat famous and beautiful artist. Her career notwithstanding, she was pretty and kind and never even had a boyfriend while she was studying abroad. Compared to the other socialites where one was more wanton than the next, she was relatively pure.

As a man, Qin Sirui has already had a string of girlfriends, but when it came to marriage, he’d definitely look for someone who’s docile and drama-free like his cousin. He had sort of grown up with Zhou Qinhe. Boss Zhou had become more and more unpredictable as of late, but Qin Sirui had a rough idea of where his standards were and his cousin should be able to make the cut.

His cousin might not have come from the most prestigious rank of families, but his uncle’s side of the family had been scholars for generations and he was a college professor. His aunt had some of the Qin Corporation’s shares and also held an important role at the Qin’s, but she was, after all, married. Thus, she wasn’t really considered as part of the Qin’s anymore as far as others were concerned.

Since Boss Zhou already has an heir, marrying a woman from a prestigious family would make things more awkward. Qin Sirui felt that his cousin was perfect for Boss Zhou. She’d complement him greatly during social events, but she also would not become an issue later on. Boss Zhou would have no reason to turn her down.

Which was why Qin Sirui had accepted his aunt’s request.
