Luo Kai: Do you think this is a period drama?! A whetstone?! Did you even ask me if I needed one?

"Sheng Tian, ​​you're down here! Aunt Qin has almost finished making dinner! I'll go call Zi Feng and Fei Lin down for dinner!"

When Ye Qingqing saw Luo Shengtian come downstairs, she immediately came over from the restaurant to greet him.

"Okay! Let's sit down first. You call Zifeng and the others down so we can start eating!"

Luo Shengtian's feelings for Ye Qingqing are genuine, which is why he has also doted on Luo Zifeng like a son over the years.

However, one thing is certain: Luo Shengtian intends to hand over the Luo Group to Luo Kai, whether in the past, present, or future.

Luo Shengtian didn't understand why Ye Qingqing had such a misunderstanding, thinking that she would definitely hand over the Luo family business to Luo Zifeng after retiring.

It's said that Luo Zifeng's real surname isn't Luo. Luo Shengtian felt that giving him 10% of the shares was already the greatest favor he could show to Ye Qingqing and her son.

In fact, the reason why Luo Shengtian planned to retire so early was precisely because he saw through Ye Qingqing and Luo Zifeng's intentions.

He thought that if he handed the Luo family business over to Luo Kai as soon as possible, he might be able to dispel the inappropriate thoughts that Ye Qingqing and Luo Zifeng had about the Luo family business. He wanted to prevent the feelings that had been cultivated over so many years from being damaged by these material possessions in the future.

Ye Qingqing was unaware that Luo Shengtian had actually seen through her scheme long ago.

Right now, she was walking up to the stairwell with a beaming smile, calling Luo Zifeng and Qin Feilin to come down for dinner.

She felt that the woman her son had chosen was the only daughter of the Qin family, and that Luo Shengtian had even tried to match Qin Feilin and Luo Kai together back then.

Now that Qin Feilin has been won over by her own son, Luo Kai's girlfriend is just pretty, but her family background is nowhere near that of the Qin family.

With the Qin family's support, it's practically a certainty that Zifeng will inherit the Luo Group.

About three minutes have passed.

Qin Feilin and Luo Zifeng walked into the restaurant hand in hand.

Qin Feilin already knew that she would meet Jiang Duoduo here today.

In order to suppress Jiang Duoduo, she brought many valuable gifts when she visited Luo Shengtian today.

"Come, Feilin, sit next to me. I had Aunt Qin specially stew a whole old hen for you today, I'll give you a generous portion later!"

Ye Qingqing smiled and stood up from her chair. She pointed to the seat next to her and asked Luo Zifeng and Qin Feilin to sit down.

The Luo family's dining table was a traditional large round table. Luo Shengtian, as the head of the family, sat in the central seat, with Ye Qingqing sitting to his right. Next to Ye Qingqing were Qin Feilin and Luo Zifeng.

Luo Kai sat to Luo Shengtian's left, with Jiang Duoduo sitting next to him. The two seats in the middle of the eight-seat table were empty, which was now being used by Aunt Qin and another maid to serve the food.

Now, cold dishes and fruits have been served on the table.

There are tempting duck tongues, large and plump hairy crabs, as well as spiced beef shank, Maotai-flavored river shrimp, salted duck, osmanthus-flavored lotus root, jellyfish strips, and flavorful duck feet.

The fruits include cherries, strawberries, and watermelons.

Just by looking at these cold dishes, Jiang Duoduo could tell that Sister Qin from the Luo family was a very good cook.

Immediately afterwards, a steaming hot dish of squirrel-shaped mandarin fish was placed in the center of the table by a servant.

Then Sister Qin brought out a dish of stewed old hen in broth.

Jiang Duoduo noticed that a lot of nourishing cordyceps had been added to the dish, and she figured that the old hen must have been specially stewed for Qin Feilin, as Ye Qingqing had mentioned earlier.

The following hot dishes include braised king crab, abalone with vermicelli, stir-fried beef with green peppers and king oyster mushrooms, blanched squid, salt and pepper whelks, razor clams with scallion oil, braised prawns, and stir-fried mushrooms with garlic.

With so many dishes served, the large round table looked completely full.

"How about the ladies have some soft drinks, and the three of us, father and sons, have some red wine?"

After all the dishes were served, Luo Shengtian had a servant bring over a bottle of red wine.

"can!"

"no problem!"

Luo Kai and Luo Zifeng spoke at the same time.

"Then let's have beverages!"

"Felin, don't drink cold drinks. I'll have Aunt Qin heat up some milk for you. Miss Jiang, may we have orange juice?"

Ye Qingqing took a carton of milk from the table and asked Aunt Qin to heat it up. Then she turned to Jiang Duoduo and pointed to the freshly squeezed orange juice on the table.

"I'm fine with either! Aunt Ye, you can just call me Duoduo, no need to be so polite as Miss Jiang!"

Jiang Duoduo smiled slightly at Ye Qingqing, deliberately saying that Ye Qingqing was being too polite to her.

Although Jiang Duoduo had no intention of getting close to Ye Qingqing.

But!

Now that you've portrayed a deep mother-son bond, why are you suddenly showing favoritism?

Why is Luo Zifeng's girlfriend called "Feilin" but mine is called "Miss Jiang"?

Does she look down on me, or does she look down on Luo Kai?

"Yes, yes, Qingqing, that's not right of you! Xiao Jiang is family now, why are you still calling her Miss Jiang so formally?"

Luo Shengtian had the servants pour red wine and was about to raise a glass with everyone when he heard Jiang Duoduo's words. He felt that Ye Qingqing was treating him differently.

He remembered that when Qin Feilin came in the afternoon, Qingqing called her Feilin affectionately, but how come she called her Miss Jiang when it came to Jiang Duoduo?

"Yes, yes, look how clumsy I am with words! Duoduo, please don't mind! Come on, let's pour some orange juice and have a toast!"

Ye Qingqing immediately found a way to save face, and then personally came over to pour orange juice for Jiang Duoduo.

At this moment, Aunt Qin also brought over the milk that she had warmed up for Qin Feilin.

"Uncle Luo, I wish you a wonderful and fulfilling retirement!"

Qin Feilin took the milk and suddenly stood up to offer her blessings to Luo Shengtian.

Jiang Duoduo: Luo Shengtian is retiring?? I knew this meal was going to be something special! But today is a family dinner, not a retirement banquet. What is Qin Feilin planning to do by talking about retirement life?

"Hahaha... I didn't expect you to be so well-informed, Phil! I haven't even officially announced my retirement yet, and you've already sent me your retirement wishes!"

Luo Shengtian appeared to be smiling as he spoke to Qin Feilin, but in reality, he was already somewhat displeased!

"Haha... um... I mentioned it to Felin during our casual chat this afternoon!"

Ye Qingqing quickly stood up with a smile to smooth things over.

She had lived with Luo Shengtian for so many years and knew his temperament.

Regarding retirement, as long as he hasn't actually stepped down from his position as chairman of the group, Luo Shengtian doesn't want anyone to have any opinions about his position.

"Dad, I salute you!"

Luo Zifeng glanced at Qin Feilin beside him, signaling her not to make things worse, otherwise Luo Shengtian would think they were eager for him to abdicate!

"Alright, everyone! Luo Kai, I remember you can hold your liquor, so have a couple more drinks with me today!"

As Luo Shengtian spoke, he raised the wine glass in his hand.

"Row!"

Luo Kai responded softly and slowly raised the wine glass in front of him.

"cheers……"

Everyone else raised their glasses as well, and the Luo family banquet officially began.
