Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Mother is a God-Level Boss

Chapter 221.8 Modern Era: My Mother is a Heartthrob (28)

"No, Qingzhou, where did you come from?"

Yan Xinran asked curiously.

"You don't need to worry about that. I'll prepare a surprise for you later."

Si Qingzhou chuckled and tapped Yan Xinran's forehead.

"What's so mysterious about it?"

Yan Xinran turned her head slightly, looking a little awkward.

But when she saw the date on it, she couldn't help but gasp softly.

"Wait, is it November 1st?"

"What's wrong? Is there a problem with the date?"

Seeing this, Si Qingzhou asked curiously.

“My friend Yunshi invited me to a banquet that seems to be on November 1st. Wait a minute, let me ask her.”

After Yan Xinran finished speaking, she ran to the front desk and made a phone call. The reason she was so anxious to confirm was because she didn't want Si Qingzhou to look disappointed. However, she had already promised Liu Yunshi, which made things difficult.

"Hello, Yunshi, it's me."

"Hmm, Xinran, where are you calling me from? It sounds so noisy."

"I can't believe it," Liu Yunshi said curiously on the other end of the phone.

"Yunshi, there's something I want to ask you. Was the banquet you said you'd take me to on November 1st?"

Yan Xinran asked eagerly.

"What's wrong? It's this time, is there a problem? Wait, you're not going to stand me up, are you?"

Liu Yunshi's voice rose a few decibels as she spoke.

"No, it's Qingzhou who also invited me to the banquet, which is also on November 1st, so I wanted to confirm with you."

"Oh, so you mean you're going to attend Si Qingzhou's banquet and stand me up?"

Liu Yunshi's voice darkened slightly.

"No, can't I attend two? You won't be staying at that banquet for long anyway."

Yan Xinran said in a low voice.

"Sigh, I'm really impressed with you. If it weren't for Si Qingzhou's family background, how could they afford to hold a banquet? Where would they hold it?"

Liu Yunshi sighed helplessly.

"Let me see, hmm, it's the Twin Hall of the Grand Hotel."

"What? Isn't this the venue for the Li family's banquet?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yunshi sat up straight.

"Yunshi, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."

"No, Yan Xinran, didn't I tell you the address last time? Don't you think the two addresses are the same?"

Liu Yunshi said helplessly.

"Yeah, I knew this address looked familiar. That's good. Now I don't have to refuse Qingzhou. Okay, I'm hanging up. I need to go tell Qingzhou right away."

Yan Xinran hung up the phone after speaking, and Liu Yunshi, on the other end of the line, smiled helplessly when she heard the dial tone.

"You brat, just how much do you love her?"

Si Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Yan Xinran's words, since he had prepared a very important gift.

"Then it's settled. I'll ride in Yunshi's car, and we'll meet in the banquet hall."

"Okay, it's all up to you."

After finishing their meal, Yan Xinran went home. Si Qingzhou had originally planned to take her shopping, but Yan Xinran's driver said there was an emergency at home and she had to go back immediately.

Si Qingzhou had no choice but to go back alone. However, thinking about the arrangements for the future, he smiled. He knew that once he got home, the smile on his face would never go away.

"So happy? You look like a pervert. Please watch your image, son."

Si Yan joked with a smile.

Si Qingzhou paused for a moment, coughed awkwardly a few times, waved goodbye to Si Yan, and went back to his room.

"Seriously, she's so shy about dating. There must be a story behind this."

Unlike Si Yan, who was relaxed and at ease, Liu Fengru was extremely nervous.

"Fengru, what's wrong with you these past few days? You seem so absent-minded."

Xiao Qingqing leaned back on the sofa and asked casually.

"No, it's nothing, I might just be having some trouble adjusting to the new environment."

Liu Fengru lowered her head and said softly.

"Look at you, so ambitious. Oh right, I was going to send you some money, but I was too busy and forgot. Here you go, I'm giving you 30,000 yuan this time. With that money, you can build a mansion back in the countryside."

Xiao Qingqing laughed and joked.

"Thank you, Sister Qingqing."

Liu Fengru trembled as she accepted the file bag Xiao Qingqing gave her. Her heart was pounding. Only now did she realize that she had misunderstood; the person she had met back then was not Xiao Qingqing.

But now I've already told Li Yang everything. If Xiao Qingqing falls, I'll be in deep trouble. No, I have to leave immediately, far away, not even going back to my hometown.

Thinking of this, Liu Fengru deliberately controlled her expression.

"Sister Qingqing, I've been here for so many days now, it's time to switch back."

"So you're in such a hurry? Fine, I won't keep you. Let Xiao Zhang take you to the airport and buy you a plane ticket."

Xiao Qingqing lowered her head and fiddled with her nails, speaking casually.

"No need, I can go back by myself. I wanted to go to the city to buy some things for them to take back."

Liu Fengru quickly waved her hand in refusal.

"Alright, look at you, so pathetic. Let Xiao Zhang take you to the city center."

Xiao Qingqing waved her hand dismissively and said.

Upon hearing this, Liu Fengru nodded repeatedly. It was only a few steps, but she moved as fast as the wind and disappeared out the door in a flash.

"It's really not presentable."

Seeing this, Xiao Qingqing scoffed and turned back to her room.

Unexpectedly, the landline in her bedroom rang as soon as she went upstairs.

"Hey, Qingqing, something terrible has happened."

"Jiang Shan, what's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Xiao Qingqing raised an eyebrow, looking curious.

"Haven't you heard? The Li family is in trouble, or rather, Chairman Li Hai is in trouble."

"Well, and then what? His accident doesn't affect us, so why should we care?"

Xiao Qingqing laughed dismissively.

“How can it not be related? Didn’t your sister-in-law marry Li Cheng? Now that it’s been revealed that Li Cheng was born to a mistress, the Li family will probably have nothing to do with him anymore.”

Jiang Shan said anxiously on the phone.

"This is a good thing! Jiang Shan, you're such a blockhead. Given my usual behavior, how good could my relationship with Han Yiru be? I'd be happy to see her suffer."

Xiao Qingqing couldn't suppress the smile on her lips after she finished speaking.

"That's what they say, but if Han Yiru comes back and asks you for money, do you think your mother-in-law and husband won't give it to you? If they give you a penny more, you'll have a penny less."

"What you said makes sense. Looks like I need to prepare myself. But if Han Yiru can win me over, I might be able to lend her 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, haha..."

Xiao Qingqing couldn't help but burst out laughing before she could finish speaking.

Little did she know, Li Yang had already sorted out the affairs of the Li Group, and he would soon be free to deal with her.

But before that, Li Yang had something more important to do, which was to solemnly introduce Si Qingzhou's identity to everyone.

As expected, the Han family also received an invitation.

“Wife, let’s go to the Li family’s banquet together. From now on, Li Yang will be the head of the Li family. Don’t you have a good relationship with his sister Li Rui? Can you introduce me to her?”

Han Bin smiled obsequiously.

"I know, you know. If it weren't for me, how would you have accomplished your grand ambitions? Also, I have to remind you, if your sister comes back to borrow money, don't be soft-hearted. Otherwise, if you anger the current head of the Li family, I won't be able to help you."

Xiao Qingqing said with a coquettish laugh.

"Don't worry, honey, I know everything. In my heart, my sister is not as important as you and the children."

Han Bin kept saying nice things, but there was no smile in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Qingqing. Xiao Qingqing, on the other hand, didn't seem to notice anything; she was secretly pleased with herself.

Time flies, and soon it was time for the banquet. Si Yan got up very early that day.

"Mom, you look so beautiful in this dress."

Si Qingzhou's eyes lit up when she saw her mother after she changed into her dress.

Si Yan wore a floor-length gown adorned with numerous diamonds and pearls, but even so, what immediately caught the eye was her captivating face and fair, radiant skin.

"You look good in this too, quite handsome."

Si Yan approached Si Qingzhou, looked her up and down, and nodded in satisfaction.

However, seeing the hesitation in Si Qingzhou's eyes, Si Yan spoke up again.

"Qingzhou, you don't need to worry about your mother. It's our own business, and it's your decision."

Si Yan knew that Si Qingzhou had considered her needs in many things and had postponed many decisions.

"Mom, I know what I'm doing, don't worry."

Si Qingzhou smiled and shook her head.

Si Yan was about to say something when she heard shouts coming from outside the door.

"Qingzhou, are you ready? I'm here to pick you up."

Li Rui, dressed in a black dress, stood outside the car and still attracted attention even while sitting inside.

Aunt Liu, who was washing clothes, patted Aunt Wang next to her.

"Sister Wang, wow, this car looks really expensive, it must be quite pricey."

"Of course, even a fool would think, how could such a beautiful car have cost little?"

Aunt Wang glanced at the black car in front of her again, her eyes filled with envy.

"If you ask me, Si Yan doesn't look like someone who should live here."

Aunt Liu couldn't help but click her tongue when she thought of Si Yan's appearance.

"Stop talking, Si Yan is out."

As soon as Aunt Wang finished speaking, she saw Si Yan wearing a white dress and a black coat, with her long, seaweed-like hair falling obediently to her side.

"Wow, she looks absolutely stunning now that she's dressed up."

"To be honest, it's no wonder that such rumors circulated before. With Si Yan's appearance, who would guess that she has such a big son?"

Aunt Liu shook her head and sighed.

By the time Aunt Liu and the others came to their senses, the car Si Yan and the others were in had already driven out of the alley.

"Hey, we're about the same age, how come other people's lives are so exciting? Have you heard? Si Yan is still filming."

Aunt Liu stopped what she was doing and said in a low voice.

"What? There's such a thing? I've never heard of it."

Aunt Wang looked completely bewildered.

"Hey, I heard it from a relative of mine. She works odd jobs on the set where Si Yan is filming, and I heard that Si Yan is playing the female lead in the drama."

"No way, her?"

Aunt Wang exclaimed in surprise.

"Why can't it be her? She's the prettiest person in the whole crew. Who else would we choose if not her?"

Aunt Liu pursed her lips.

"Oh, it's good to be good-looking, even if you don't know anything else, you can still act in movies."

Aunt Wang looked envious.

"Who says otherwise? Let's just give up on that idea. We probably won't even get such a good thing if we're reincarnated."

Aunt Liu sighed and continued washing the clothes diligently. These days, it's best to just live your own life well.

Si Yan and the others were still on their way to the banquet. Although the banquet was in the evening, the hotel was far away, and they needed to get their makeup done along the way, so Li Rui picked them up early in the morning.

Xiao Qingqing was already dressed.

"This hotel is really far away, it's not convenient at all."

Thinking about having to sit in the car for so long, Xiao Qingqing couldn't help but feel angry.

"That's the Junyue Hotel. They own that whole mountain area, and even their chefs are star chefs. It doesn't matter if it's a little far away."

Xiao Qingqing's husband, looking down and adjusting his tie, replied casually.

"Honey, have you heard any news? The Li family said they have something important to announce, but nobody knows what it is or why they're making it so mysterious."

Xiao Qingqing put down the lipstick in her hand, looked up and asked with a curious expression.

"I don't know, everyone's saying different things, and we don't know which is true. Some people are even saying that Li Yang, the president of Li's Group, is going to formally introduce his son to everyone, but doesn't Li Yang have problems in that area? Don't you think these rumors are ridiculous?"

But Xiao Qingqing was stunned when she heard this.

"No, honey, maybe the most outrageous rumor is the truth."

Xiao Qingqing thought that she was the benefactor who reunited the father and son. If she inadvertently revealed it, Li Yang would feel embarrassed not to repay her.

However, Xiao Qingqing was unaware that Liu Fengru had already revealed all her secrets and was even going to report it back. Soon, she probably wouldn't even dare to mention Li Yang's name.

"Hey, have you heard? The Li family's banquet this time is supposed to be a grand introduction of someone?"

"I've heard a little bit, but with Li Hai out of office, Licheng is basically hopeless. Is there any new figure in the Li family to introduce?"

"That's right, everyone knows Liyang. I really can't think of anyone else from the Li family worth mentioning."

It was already 8 p.m., and most of the invited guests had arrived, but Li Yang, the current head of the Li family, still hadn't shown up.

Even Si Qingzhou's girlfriend, Yan Xinran, had arrived.

"Xinran, I forgot to ask you the other day, where did Si Qingzhou get this invitation from?"

Liu Yunshi, holding a juice in her hand, asked curiously.

"I don't know. Maybe it was given to us by our mentor, Qingzhou. Didn't we say that the Li family is going to set up a high-tech company soon? Maybe they need to cooperate with Qingzhou and his team in some way."

Yan Xinran shrugged and replied indifferently.

"That's unlikely. What kind of projects can't the Li family find? Why would they target your Si Qingzhou?"

Liu Yunshi looked puzzled.

"Oh, don't worry about it. Qingzhou wouldn't hurt me. Why do you care how he got it? Have some cake and keep quiet."
