Chapter 657 - 657 Who Is Mr. Lin Yi?
657 Who Is Mr. Lin Yi?
A few minutes later, a taxi stopped in front of the restaurant. Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan alighted from it.
The Qu siblings’ expressions froze in an instant.
Qu Xuanhe, ‘Ningyue’s sister-in-law is so good-looking?’
He had never seen such a graceful and noble aura from his cousin.
Qu Bing, ‘Ningyue’s brother is so handsome?’
His cold and aloof attitude was enough to shake the world!
“Brother, Sister-in-law.”
When Guo Ningyue saw the two of them coming down, she went up to them and subconsciously held Ji Qingyan’s arm.
“Let me introduce you. This is my brother, Lin Yi, and this is my sister-in-law, Ji Qingyan.”
Then, she introduced the two of them. “Brother, Sister-in-Law, this is my boyfriend, Qu Xuanhe. This is his cousin, Qu Bing.”
“Hi.”
“Hi.”
Both sides extended their hands to greet each other.
Qu Xuanhe secretly glanced at his cousin, feeling that she had been slapped in the face.
Guo Ningyue’s sister-in-law had an extraordinary aura!
She didn’t seem to be lying at all.
Qu Bing ignored Qu Xuanhe and stole a glance at Lin Yi.
Could an orphanage also nurture such a distant and cold boy?
They were both men, but why was her disappointing cousin so much worse off?
Could it be because of his parents?
Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan were not people who liked to show off, but when they came for a meal, the Qu family welcomed them at the door.
This was not bad. It meant that he cared a lot about Guo Ningyue.
All in all, the initial impression was very good.
“Brother, let’s go in and talk.”
“Let’s go.” Lin Yi nodded.
The five of them entered the restaurant one after another.
Guo Ningyue led Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan forward.
Qu Xuan pulled Qu Bing and deliberately walked in the back.
“Sis, what do you think of her brother and sister-in-law?”
“Their attitude is quite good. They don’t seem to be putting on airs,” Qu Bing commented.
“But from their tone and expressions, I feel that their conditions should be good.”
“Even if it’s not bad, it shouldn’t be comparable to the Qu family.” Qu Bing said.
“However, from their words and actions, coupled with their appearance, I can tell that they should be working in a relatively high-end industry. The people they interact with are all people of status. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so free to deal with us.”
“I guess this is why Ningyue reminded me to be more proper.”
“That might be it,” Qu Bing said.
“But don’t be afraid. Although the Qu family isn’t rich, we still have some assets. Don’t let them bully you.”
Although Lin Yi was handsome, Qu Bing did not lose her head.
She could not forget the important issue.
“I can’t compete. In terms of aura, I’m definitely not as good as him.”
“Be more confident, you’re even 1.8 meters tall.”
“He’s more than 1.8 meters tall,” Qu Xuanhe said. “And Ningyue’s sister-in-law seems to be taller than you as well.”
Qu Bing rolled her eyes at her disappointing brother and complained in her heart,
“Not only is she taller than me, but she’s also bigger in places that should be bigger than me. I’m so angry. How did she develop like this?”
The siblings muttered to each other for a while and had a rough guess about Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan’s identities.
They should be high-end white-collar workers, such as a designer or pilot. They should be moderately well-off and of decent status.
However, at this level, he could not be considered rich even in Yangcheng, let alone in Zhonghai.
Guo Ningyue was really protective of her family. She even described such conditions as rich.
“Brother, I booked a table late today. I couldn’t find a private room, so we can only eat in the hall,” Guo Ningyue said apologetically.
“It doesn’t matter where we eat. We’re not outsiders,” said Ji Qingyan with a smile.
From the moment she got out of the car and saw Qu Bing, she had a feeling that today’s meal would not be simple.
It seemed that his sister-in-law could no longer be invisible.
No matter what, she had to help her sister-in-law to strengthen her reputation.
“Are… are you President Ji?”
As soon as they entered, before the five of them could take their seats, they heard someone speaking from behind them.
She turned around and saw a middle-aged man with a big belly standing behind her.
“Are you President Sun?”
Ji Qingyan still had some impression of the middle-aged man behind her, but she did not really remember who exactly he was.
They seemed to have worked together before. She could not remember the details, but she acted very natural.
This was how adults interacted. They didn’t even need to know who it was. As long as they had a rough idea, they could chat for a while.
“It really is President Ji.” The middle-aged man walked up to greet her. “Are you here to inspect the group’s Yangcheng branch?”
“I’m not here on official business. I’m here to have a meal with my sister-in-law.”
“So it’s a family banquet.” The middle-aged man smiled and said, “President Ji, it’s not often you come to Yangcheng. I’ll take care of this meal. Give me a chance to treat you.”
“You can’t do that. We’re not strangers, so you don’t have to do this.”
The middle-aged man did not continue on this topic.
“Then I won’t disturb you anymore, President Ji. If there are any projects in Yangcheng in the future, you have to take good care of me.”
“That’s for sure.”
“Alright, that’s all for now. After a while, I’ll head to Zhonghai to visit President Ji. At that time, you have to give me a chance to treat you to a meal.”
“No problem.”
After seeing the middle-aged man off, the Qu family was stunned for a while.
Although they didn’t know who the middle-aged man was, they could tell from his clothes that he was somebody significant.
Even so, he still spoke politely in front of Ningyue’s sister-in-law.
This was a little unusual!
When they arrived at the reserved seats, the five of them sat down. Lin Yi casually asked,
“Do you know that man?”
“I don’t have much of an impression of him. Last year, there was a project at the branch company. I think the green design project was outsourced to them.”
“But I really can’t remember exactly what happened.”
With that, Ji Qingyan looked at Guo Ningyue and said, “If you don’t want to go to Zhonghai in the future, you can stay in Yangcheng. We have a branch company here. Just give me a call when you want to join us.”
She had her own selfish motives for doing this.
She was telling the other party that their conditions were not bad and that they could not bully Lin Yi’s sister in the future.
Ji Qingyan had taken the lead in this battle of wits and courage.
“Got it, Sister-in-Law.” Guo Mingyue chuckled.
However, she did not catch the underlying meaning behind her words. She only felt that Ji Qingyan was being nice to her.
Similarly, Qu Xuanhe realized that the two of them were quite compatible.
Other than Lin Yi, Qu Bing also understood what she meant, but she didn’t say anything.
Ji Qingyan’s identity made her a little wary.
She wanted to dig deeper into this first.
The Qu family business also had a few branches, but she didn’t know who’s company was bigger.
Now, Qu Bing was certain that Ning Yue was not lying.
Her sister-in-law’s family background was indeed not bad.
With this, the matter seemed to be clear.
Her brother was an orphan. He must have been supported by her sister-in-law to have his current life.
After all, their looks were also very compatible.
“Brother, Sister-in-law, the food here is not bad. Have some,” Qu Xuanhe said as he pushed the menu over.
“You guys can order as you like. We are free and easy about this. Anything is fine.”
Lin Yi’s expression relaxed, not paying much attention to this matter.
With Ji Qingyan around, he was no longer needed.
“Then I’ll just order whatever I want.”
“Order some fruit and add more mangoes. My brother likes to eat mangoes,” Guo Ningyue said.
“Okay.”
Qu Xuanhe flipped through the menu and was about to call the waiter when he was surprised to hear a middle-aged man say in the restaurant,
“May I know who is Mr. Lin Yi?”
