Chapter 388: A spineless coward

The phone in his pants pocket suddenly rang.

Qin Tian felt it, but in the tense atmosphere, he didn't dare to look at his phone.

Furthermore, no matter who sent the message, nothing was more important than getting through the current situation.

Under his future father-in-law's sharp gaze, Qin Tian's nerves were taut, and more and more sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Alright, Lao Xia, why are you glaring at him? Let's eat first. We can ask that waitress later and we'll know."

Su Xia broke the silence.

When it came to Lao Xia, her words were undoubtedly the most effective.

"We'll talk about it later then."

Lao Xia withdrew his gaze and took a gulp from his glass, only realizing after it was in his mouth that it was a beverage.

At this moment, he suddenly regretted not drinking alcohol.

If he had been drinking, he could have used the alcohol to vent his anger on behalf of his precious daughter if this brat had really done something to let her down.

But then again, he also felt that there shouldn't be anything to it.

His family of three couldn't possibly have such poor judgment.

His precious daughter was a bit naive in his eyes, but he and his wife were both exceptionally smart.

If this brat were such a philandering scumbag, they would have definitely seen it long ago and wouldn't have let him develop his relationship with their daughter to this point.

Of course, he was still a bit angry.

When he and his wife discussed Qin Tian before, they had said that a man being handsome wasn't a good thing at all, as it easily attracted bees and butterflies.

His daughter wasn't the type to be assertive, so she was easily taken advantage of.

His wife had been dismissive at the time, thinking he was overthinking it.

And now?

"Nuannuan's dad, don't worry. Once we find that girl later, I'll have Xiao Tian return these things to her and make things clear once and for all!"

Tang Xiuxia promised with a serious expression.

Lao Xia nodded, accepting this.

Qin Tian looked at Xia Nuannuan helplessly, only to see a hint of schadenfreude on her pretty face as she playfully winked her big eyes at him.

The two communicated silently with their eyes, a silent dialogue.

"Nuannuan, don't just watch the show, help me out!"

"I already explained for you!"

"It's not enough! Lao Xia is still holding a grudge and looks like he wants to eat me alive. I'm scared!"

"It's okay, don't be afraid!"

……

……

Afterward, Tang Xiuxia tried to find topics to change the subtle atmosphere at the table several times, but none of them had much effect.

Thus, in a rather awkward atmosphere, the dinner—which was considered the first formal meeting between the two sets of parents—ended.

There were still plenty of dishes left on the table, but since they were all preoccupied with finding the waitress, no one had the appetite to eat anymore.

In the past, Qin Tian would have insisted on a "clean plate" campaign, finishing off the dishes.

But today, he really didn't have the mood or appetite.

Lao Xia called the waitress who was waiting outside the room, and after a bit of a struggle with Tang Xiuxia, he paid the bill.

"Do you know where the waitress who brought the flowers in just now is?"

As they were preparing to leave, Lao Xia asked.

"You mean Xiao Chen? She's responsible for the lobby area downstairs, she should be downstairs!"

The waitress replied with a smile.

"Alright, thank you!"

Lao Xia thanked her.

"You're welcome, take care!"

The waitress said goodbye with an enthusiastic smile, glancing at Qin Tian intentionally or unintentionally.

Standing outside just now, she had heard some of the things said in the room and had a rough understanding of the situation, finding it quite interesting.

On the way out of the room, Qin Tian suddenly remembered something and took out his phone to check his messages.

Seeing it was from a strange number again, and not having saved Lu Yaoyao's number, Qin Tian panicked subconsciously, but breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the content of the message.

"Qin Tian, I'm Wang Chao. I'm eating in a room across from you. Zheng Ji is here too. He went out for a long time just now, he might have done something."

Qin Tian suddenly realized, and a surge of anger flared up inside him.

He hadn't taken this person to heart, but he didn't expect him to cause such big trouble for him.

The key was that it ruined the atmosphere of the parents' meeting today, which he couldn't tolerate.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Nuannuan asked with concern, seeing his expression change.

"Look!"

Qin Tian handed over his phone screen.

Xia Nuannuan quickly scanned the message and said in a low voice with a complex expression, "So that's what happened. I said it didn't seem like something she would do."

"Wait here!"

Qin Tian suddenly turned back and grabbed the flowers and gift box from the floor.

The three parents had already walked out of the room and didn't see this scene.

"What are you going to do?"

Xia Nuannuan asked hurriedly.

"Smash them in his face."

Qin Tian walked out of the room quickly and saw the three parents looking back at him.

"What are you doing? Are you planning to take these back to collect?"

Tang Xiuxia asked angrily.

"Of course not."

Qin Tian denied it directly and then walked quickly toward the room across the hall, looking inside one by one.

Soon, in the third room, Qin Tian saw Wang Chao and the others still sitting there.

Seeing him enter, Wang Chao and the others were dumbfounded.

The three who hadn't met Qin Tian had blank expressions on their faces.

Zheng Ji's expression changed slightly. Looking at his aggressive appearance and thinking of the fight at the bar that day, a strong sense of wariness appeared in his eyes.

"Hey, this is your prank, right?"

Qin Tian raised the flowers in his hand and asked, looking directly at Zheng Ji.

"What?"

Zheng Ji frowned, pretending to be calm and playing dumb.

Qin Tian couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with him and smashed the flowers at him with force.

Several people exclaimed and dodged in panic. The flowers hit Zheng Ji directly in the face, and the bright roses flew everywhere.

Before Zheng Ji could recover, the gift box containing an apple flew toward him and hit him precisely on the forehead.

These flowers and the peace apple gift box were both bought by him at a fruit shop across from the restaurant.

They were originally props meant to disgust Qin Tian, but now they had become weapons falling on his own head.

Not to mention the flowers, the apple hit him really hard, causing him to cry out in pain and rise in anger.

"Qin Tian, are you fucking looking for death?"

"Want to fight? Come on then. I'm full of anger, and if anyone wants to help you, you can all come together."

Qin Tian beckoned provocatively.

"You..."

Zheng Ji covered his forehead with his left hand, his face purple with anger, but he had no other choice.

He definitely couldn't win a fight, and even if the friends present were willing to join in, they would only be beaten up by Qin Tian.

While furious, he was also completely puzzled: how did Qin Tian know he was here?

At the door of the room, the three parents saw all of this, and with Xia Nuannuan's explanation on the side, they understood what was going on.

"A spineless coward, no wonder Lu Yaoyao doesn't like you. Take them and send them to your Lu Yaoyao; don't use these tricks to annoy me again. If there's a next time, it won't be as simple as just smashing them in your face."

After leaving a harsh warning, Qin Tian turned and left.

Zheng Ji's face turned from blue to purple, his eyes cold. ===== CHAPTER 389 =====
