Chapter 142: Qin Sui Is Delighted
Chapter 142
Qin Sui made a call to the first floor.
"Bring my uncle to section A1, seat him at the table with rose flowers in front."
The person on the other end acknowledged.
Li Xiaoya asked curiously, "What kind of place is that?"
"A place he shouldn't be sitting."
Downstairs, Second Uncle Qin hadn't been able to see Qin Sui's father, but just then a waiter came to lead him to his seat.
Second Uncle Qin hesitated, "Since my older brother isn't here, I'll just sit with the other executives and chat..."
The waiter insisted, "Please come sit in A1 first, the other bigwigs will be joining you shortly."
A1 was the area closest to the ceremony stage.
Generally, only Qin Sui's family members and those with high status in their circle who had good relationships with the Qin family were allowed to sit there.
Hearing this, Second Uncle Qin's interest was piqued, and he directly brought his wife and children along.
They had just sat down when Qin Sui's father came out, his face dark as he scolded, "Is this a place you should be sitting?"
In front of his wife and children, Second Uncle Qin was stunned by the rebuke, "Why can't I sit here? I'm your brother, why can't I... where here can't I sit? I..."
Qin Haoming glanced at the bodyguards nearby, who immediately and politely escorted the group away.
"Take him to B3," Qin Sui directed over the phone.
The person on the other end responded with a "Yes."
Second Uncle Qin was led to another area, still cursing the waiter as he sat down, "How could you lead us to the wrong place?"
The waiter responded apologetically, "I don't know what happened either, by all rights you should have been seated there."
Second Uncle Qin was disgruntled, and after sitting for a while, he became even more agitated.

Because at the same table were two people he didn't get along with.
Full of anger, Second Uncle Qin stood up and shouted, "What was my older brother thinking? He knows those two were competing with me for business before, why did he invite them?"
The commotion quickly caught Qin Haoming's attention again.
Qin Haoming, his face grim, directly ordered people to escort them out.
How could Second Uncle Qin agree to this?
Just as he was about to argue with his older brother,
"This is your nephew's birthday celebration, what are you trying to do?" Qin Haoming sternly questioned, then waved his hand for the bodyguards to take him away, not wanting to look at him anymore.
"Big brother! I'm your brother, how could you..." Second Uncle Qin, unable to save face, continued to shout.
It was his wife who tugged at his sleeve, saying, "Let's go, let's go, don't make it difficult for your older brother."
They were led to the garden, where the cold wind blew.
Second Uncle Qin suddenly remembered Li Xiaoya's handwritten invitation and immediately cursed, "He can't tell friend from foe! His business keeps growing, but he won't share any of the profits with me. His son follows his example, treating outsiders better than us. Our two children have never received a kind word from Qin Sui since coming to the Qin family..."
His wife suddenly said, "Could Qin Sui be taking revenge on us?"
"Revenge? Why would he take revenge on me? I even brought him a birthday gift..."
"You know he's never cared about those things. That kid earlier, didn't we block him at the door? Now look, we're the ones being kicked out."
"Don't you really think this is Qin Sui's revenge? He's always been cunning, likes to scheme against people without showing it..."
Second Uncle Qin shuddered, finally squeezing out the words, "Monster! They gave birth to a monster!"
While they were cursing angrily outside,
In the monitoring room, Qin Sui deliberately captured and enlarged Second Uncle Qin's final expression of disbelief and humiliation.
He asked Li Xiaoya, "Interesting, isn't it?"
Li Xiaoya looked puzzled, "Isn't he your uncle?"
Qin Sui replied coldly, "This is what we call a poor relative coming to mooch off us."
Qin Sui tilted his head to look at him, "Didn't he say it himself downstairs? I'm closer to you."
Li Xiaoya lay on the table, not speaking.
Qin Sui asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Xiaoya frowned slightly, "I suddenly feel like the gift I prepared for you isn't very good."
Hearing this, Qin Sui felt an indescribable sweetness.
It was like a fruit that wasn't quite a fruit.
Called "sweet stem."
He had seen people selling it on the street before and bought some out of curiosity.
It tasted like sugarcane, but not as sweet, with more water content. Very light, so light that after chewing for a long time, only a hint of sweetness remained on the tip of the tongue.
Qin Sui thought, I've indeed found the key.
Without him having to scheme.
This was a bit of sweetness she voluntarily released to him.
"It's alright, any gift is good," Qin Sui said.
After all, what he really wanted, he had already gotten a taste of.
Li Xiaoya nodded, then opened her small bag and took out a bulging cylindrical object wrapped in bubble wrap.
Qin Sui took it, saying with great interest, "I'll unwrap it myself."
He slowly peeled off the bubble wrap, revealing what was inside—
It was a revolving lantern.
By this time, the downstairs area had become lively, as all the expected guests had arrived.
Qin Haoming was slightly frustrated, "Where has the young master gone again? He's today's main character, where is he?"
The waiter said, "In the monitoring room."
Qin Haoming sighed, "Go invite him."
Then he turned to greet an old man who was walking unsteadily.
The old man slowly walked over and sat in the seat that Second Uncle Qin had previously occupied.
The fact that Qin Haoming had scolded Second Uncle Qin for sitting there showed that this old man's status was not ordinary.
His eyelids drooped, barely able to stay open, but he still pulled out a cloth package from his bosom, saying, "A gift for Qin Sui."
Qin Haoming nodded, looking at the elderly man before him with mixed emotions.
This person held a prestigious status, but had few descendants. He only had one son, who unfortunately passed away a few years ago without leaving any offspring.
In the second year after his son's death, at a casual gathering, he saw Qin Sui and said he looked like his son when he was young.
It was then that the two families formed a good relationship.
Since then, Qin Haoming had treated him as a respected elder, and now sat beside him to chat.
"Young Master Qin! Young Master Qin!" The waiter came to knock on the door of the monitoring room.
But Qin Sui was engrossed in manually turning the revolving lantern.
"Did you make this?"
"Mm." Li Xiaoya still felt a bit guilty, the materials had cost a total of eighty-three yuan.
After finishing it, she had even won first prize in her handicraft class.
Qin Sui didn't know about this, he just felt the taste was even sweeter.
Handmade.
Handmade!
In comparison, even the invitation he had handwritten didn't seem like much.
"Li Xiaoya, this is a very good gift. I will put it by my bedside."
Li Xiaoya felt another twinge of guilt in her heart.
That's right. It's a very good gift, you can only put it by your bedside, and can't take it out to show everyone. This way Yuxiao won't see it.
And you two won't fight.
