Red Bean Lives in the Republic of China - Chapter 18.1

Chapter 18.1
He Yunqin leaned back on his chair lightly and said in a quiet, casual tone, “Director Bai.”
Director Bai had been in contact with He Yunqin several times before, and he knew that this person came from a good and rich background. He also knew that this person was very knowledgeable, and was not easy to mess with.
He took a sip of his cigar in amazement and thought. ‘When did I offend this young master?’
Director Bai laughed dryly, then sat across from them and motioned to Yu Chongyi. “What are you talking about with the second young master of the He family?”
Yu Chongyi stepped forward and replied, “I want to ask Mr. He something, and I will return to the police station later.”
The head of the police department, Director Bai, looked at Yu Hongdou and said in a gentle tone, “Don’t leave after you finish speaking; wait for me. I want to invite you all to Dawanguo for dinner.”
Yu Chongyi bowed his head and replied, “Thank you very much for the director’s kindness, but my sister is still young and ignorant. I’m afraid that if she says the wrong thing, Director Bai will not be happy. And my mother is making dinner, and she is still waiting for my sister to come home for dinner.”
Director Bai said complacently, “Yu Chongyi, this afternoon, when I asked you to introduce your sister, you only went back and forth. Can’t I invite my subordinates to dine with me?”
Yu Chongyi said bitterly, “Director Bai—”
“Don’t talk too much.” He said with a firm tone, “I will let Yu Rong and the others call Dawanguo to make a reservation.” What Director Bai disliked most was his subordinates telling him about conditions. He wanted to have today’s meal happen whether they liked it or not.
Yu Hongdou already felt that Director Bai’s attitude was not good, but because the other person was her big brother’s direct superior, she did not dare to act rashly. After hearing this, she immediately suppressed her anger, stood up, and smiled, wanting to use a few words to dispel this man’s thoughts.
However, before she could speak, He Yunqin put the teacup in his hand on the table, stood up, and said, “It’s too late for Mr. Bai to say so. I have already booked a nearby restaurant to invite Miss Yu to dinner tonight.”
Director Bai was stunned for a moment and smiled in surprise. “Master He is joking.”
He Yunqin said, “Director Bai was joking, but I sincerely invited Miss Yu to dinner, so why would I joke about it? Miss Yu, it’s getting late; let’s leave earlier. Director Bai, please excuse us.”
Yu Hongdou looked at He Yunqin in surprise, and He Yunqin was also looking at her.
He looked serious, not at all joking.
She was just stunned for a moment, hastily packed her things as quickly as possible, and followed He Yunqin with a calm expression.
Director Bai looked at Yu Hongdou’s back until she disappeared through the door and looked at Yu Chongyi mockingly. “Yu Chongyi, what’s going on? Don’t tell me that He Mengmei’s second child is pursuing your sister.”
Yu Chongyi had never lied in his life, but realising what Director Bai might be thinking about his sister, he just nodded his head.
Director Bach thought for a while; the more he thought, the darker his face became. He stuffed the heavy cigar into the ashtray and said coldly, “It’s hard to blame you brother and sister… Yu Chongyi, don’t blame me for not reminding you. Even He Yunqin is a gentleman; if your sister wouldn’t marry into that family… tsk, tsk, tsk… Unless one day you can invite me to your sister’s wedding, you know what will happen, right?”
Have a nice day!
