Chapter 641: 641

Madam Qin smiled and responded, "It’s normal for children to bicker and fuss, but it also depends on the issue at hand. If it’s a matter of principle, then even a child can’t be let off easily."

Chen Wancai said with a smile, "Susu is a good child, and Xiaoxi is also a good child. There shouldn’t be any issues of principle between them."

In the past, relying on his many years of friendship with the Qin elders, Chen Wancai would have undoubtedly stood with them.

However, the current situation was different. This little girl from the Chu Family had somehow managed to receive special treatment from the head of the Gu Family, and consequently, he also had to show some courtesy to Chu Heng and his daughter.

Seizing the opportunity, Chu Heng played the good guy and said with a smile to Chen Wancai, "Mr. Chen, I apologize. I think Madam Qin is right; it must be that our Xiaoxi has done something inappropriate at school. That’s why Susu doesn’t like her. It’s our fault. Here, on behalf of Xiaoxi, I would like to apologize to the Qin elders and ask for forgiveness for Xiaoxi."

Chu Heng knew that by apologizing in this way, he would put the Qin elders and Susu in an awkward position, making it difficult for them to be seen as fair. Even if they expressed forgiveness now, in Mr. Chen’s eyes, it would seem like they were admitting fault.

"No, no, we can’t accept this apology, and there’s no need to," said Old Master Qin with a snort, maintaining a firm stance.

He knew exactly what Chu Heng was up to.

But that’s just how they, the husband and wife, liked to be—direct and straightforward.

They wouldn’t pretend to be nice just to curry someone’s favor.

All Chen Wancai could do was to invite Chu Heng and Chu Yanxi aside with a smile, "Mr. Chu, it just so happens I have something to discuss with you. How about you and Xiaoxi head to my office?"

"That would be most honored, of course," Chu Heng thought ecstatically.

This was exactly what he wanted!

Chu Yanxi was secretly laughing to herself, Qin Susu, oh Qin Susu, you big dummy! Your "candor" has really done wonders for us!

After Chu Heng and his daughter left, Madam Qin said to Susu in her arms with a smile, "My good and obedient treasure, Mommy knows you don’t like that little friend for a reason. Daddy and Mommy will always stand by your side!"

"That’s right, my obedient treasure, Daddy and Mommy understand why you don’t like them. It’s right not to bother with bad people, Daddy agrees with you!" Old Master Qin said.

"Mm-hmm!" Susu nodded her head.

"Meow!" Tiger also nodded along.

Right, right, that’s the way to do it!

At that moment, a familiar figure appeared in the banquet hall—Lu Zhanyu.

Lu Zhanyu came along with a middle-aged man.

The Qin elders recognized the middle-aged man as Xie Wen, the general manager for Taiyue’s South East Asia division. Although he was not often seen, there was no one in the higher echelons of Huacheng City’s related industries who didn’t know of him.

The Qin elders weren’t aware of Lu Zhanyu’s identity.

Seeing him beside Xie Wen today, they became somewhat curious.

"Old man, do the neighbors from the Lu Family have some connection with Xie Wen?" mumbled Madam Qin.

"Hard to say, but judging from the situation, their relationship seems to be not bad," theorized Old Master Qin.

If it were just a basic relationship, they probably wouldn’t bring along the Lu Family child to such a bustling gathering.

Most people at the banquet were seeing Lu Zhanyu for the first time.

Who is this young boy in a wheelchair showing up with Xie Wen?
