Chapter 762: Invited to Dinner by Uncle Zhou’s Family
With that, Feng Yuanlin hung up. Chi Shuyan was stupefied. She wanted to call him back, but also didn’t want to disturb him
But the fourth uncle of the Qi family? Qi Zhenbai had a fourth uncle? Why hadn’t she heard the man mention it before? Moreover, she recalled that she had never seen this fourth uncle or his family in the few times she had visited the Qi family. However, that didn’t stop her from understanding what Brother Feng was trying to say: Qi Zhenbai’s fourth uncle probably wasn’t a good person!
Before Chi Shuyan could think more on it, her phone rang again. She picked up the call, and it was Brother Zhu’s voice on the other end.
Zhu Bocheng sounded very excited at that moment. “Cousin, are you free tonight? After my grandparents and my uncle and aunt found out that you saved my cousin last night, they especially want to treat you to dinner to thank you!”
Chi Shuyan thought of Qi Hao’s words and said, “Brother Zhu, I’m afraid I really won’t be free tonight!” She told him that the Qi family patriarch had told her and Qi Zhenbai to go home for dinner.
Zhu Bocheng was especially regretful. “Cousin, how can you not be free?”
After taking Zhou Yingbo back last night, Zhu Bocheng had continued to learn from his cousin how thrilling and terrifying the incident last night at No. 5 Junior High had been. His cousin had been really lucky. If he didn’t have Sister Shuyan’s talismans or if Sister Shuyan hadn’t shown up, this cousin of his would have been a complete goner last night.
This matter was too big, so naturally, it couldn’t be hidden from his uncle and aunt or his grandparents. He couldn’t hide it even from his parents. All of them were very grateful to Sister Shuyan. His grandmother always said she was the benefactor of the Zhou and Zhu families.
Zhu Bocheng felt that his grandmother was right. From the moment he met Sister Shuyan, she had saved him first, then his grandmother, and now his cousin. What else could she be but their big benefactor?
Last night, Yingbo kept saying that Sister Shuyan was awesome this and awesome that; he looked totally like a fanboy.
Zhu Bocheng had never seen his cousin wors.h.i.+p a person so much, but he then recalled how Sister Shuyan had saved Qi Hao and those unruly brats at the burial mounds, and still vividly remembered her skills. His jaw had almost dropped to the ground, to say nothing of his little cousin!
He thought of how his little cousin’s att.i.tude had completely flipped when they came back last night; he had been sticking close to Zhu Bocheng ever since he found out that he was especially close to Sister Shuyan. When he thought of how taciturn his little cousin had been before, Zhu Bocheng really couldn’t get used to it.
Early in the morning, when they heard that his uncle and aunt wanted to treat Chi Shuyan to dinner, this kid urged him to call Sister Shuyan. He thought that Zhenbai would probably have tormented Sister Shuyan after she went back last night, so he had waited until now to call. Who would have thought that Zhenbai’s wife wasn’t free?
Chi Shuyan could hear the regret in Brother Zhu’s voice, and she said, “Brother Zhu, I appreciate your kindness. There’s no need to especially treat me to a meal. By the way, give Grandpa and Grandma Zhou my greetings!”
When Zhu Bocheng found out that the Qi patriarch had called Sister Shuyan back to the Qi family for dinner, he knew that it was hopeless, so he could only give up. “Okay, we can’t do anything about it. We’ll meet again in a few days. You have to make some time for me! I’ll also bring your little fan over. Cousin, you don’t mind, right?”
Chi Shuyan pursed her lips and smiled. “I don’t mind!”
On the other side, Zhu Bocheng, who was with the Zhou family, had just hung up, when Zhou Yingbo rushed downstairs and hurriedly asked, “Brother, that Master…” When his brother looked at him, Zhou Yingbo immediately corrected himself. “Is Cousin coming over for a meal?”
