"It's fine, it's just a meal,"Lin Yi said with a smile. We can just eat together, why do we need a waiter!"
"Hehe, senior Lin, you don't have to say anything. As juniors, it's their duty to help serve tea." Old master Zhao laughed and waved his hand.""Senior Lin, let qitan pour you some wine!"
"Alright," he said. Lin Yi didn't insist since the old man said so. They were in the Hidden House Zhao, and Lin Yi couldn't just ignore the old man. Things were different now, after all. House Zhao was now Lin Yi's subordinate family.
"Qitan, you're in charge of pouring the wine, and Qibing, you're in charge of picking the food. There's so many dishes here, and we'll give them all to senior Lin. Qitan, you're also in charge of taking care of this. If senior Lin runs out of wine, pour it immediately!" Zhao Yu's father ordered.
"Yes, Grandpa!" Qikun and Qibing replied at the same time.
"Senior Lin, since it's a family dinner, we won't be too particular. Do you think we can start eating?" Old Zhao knew that Lin Yi didn't like the rules, so he asked directly.
"Sure." "Let's start!"Lin Yi nodded.
With that, Lin Yi picked up his chopsticks and put a piece of the side dish in his mouth.
Grandpa Zhao and guangyin only picked up their chopsticks after Lin Yi did.
Qikun didn't sit around either-he poured tea and wine for the three while Qibing was busy helping Lin Yi and Grandpa Zhao with food! He always took two portions each time, one for Lin Yi and the rest for elder Zhao. As for Zhao Guangyin, he didn't really care.
This was understandable-it was normal for Qibing to serve Lin Yi and old man Zhao. Guangyin was the weakest of the two, so he could just get his own food. If Qibing were to get his food too, Lin Yi's status would be overshadowed.
Old master Zhao was the head of the house, and he was an old man. Qibing did this out of respect for him, and it was reasonable.
"Master Lin, I, Zhao Guangyin, propose a toast to you!" After a few bites, guangyin raised his glass and stood up."Before, our hidden Zhao family offended senior Lin, and we hope that senior Lin won't hold it against us! We didn't know who you were before, but luckily, we have a smart person in the Hidden House Zhao-Zhao qikun! If we can meet a wise master, I believe that the hidden Zhao family will become stronger and stronger under the leadership of senior Lin!"
"You're too polite. " Lin Yi didn't have a good impression of guangyin before-he just thought that this guy was quite cruel, even thinking of killing Chen Xi. Now that he'd accepted qikun's hidden house Zhao, he didn't want to give guangyin too much face,"If Zhao Qibing could return to the Hidden House Zhao, Chen Xi should be able to as well, right? Would she be able to become a female clan head?"
"Ah? "Uh ..." Guangyin didn't expect Lin Yi to ask that-it wasn't within his expectations, and he didn't know how to respond.
"Light seal! Did you not hear what senior Lin said? I think Chen Xi's mother is very virtuous. She's more than enough to be your wife! Old man Zhao glared at guangyin.
"Yes, yes! Senior Lin, father, I'll bring Chen Xi and her daughter back to the Hidden House Zhao tomorrow!" Guangyin said.
"Senior Lin, as for the position of head ..." Hearing Lin Yi say that Chen Xi would be the female head, Grandpa Zhao's face looked troubled,""Actually, I've already decided at this banquet that qitan will be the next head of the Hidden House Zhao, Chen Xi ..."
Old master Zhao's words made Qibing's face change. His hand shook, and the food he picked up fell to the ground with a "pa" sound. It was obvious that Qibing was shaking all over ...
Lin Yi frowned slightly as he saw Qibing's condition. Could it be that the old man didn't say anything until the banquet? Why else would Qibing have such a reaction?
"Qibing, what are you doing?" Old master Zhao glared at Qibing,""You can't even pick up a dish, what's the use of having you?"
"Grandpa ... I'm sorry, my hand trembled ..." Zhao Qibing's face was extremely ugly, he was about to cry!
"Hmph, don't embarrass yourself! Although I'm planning to pass the position to qitan, you're definitely an elder-like existence in the Hidden House Zhao. It's just that you weren't on good terms with Lin Qian bei before, so I didn't make you the heir to the house because I wanted to protect you, do you understand?" Old master Zhao snorted coldly and said,""When you become the heir to the young master, senior Lin will definitely be unhappy!"
"I understand, Grandpa ..." Zhao Qibing's face was pale.
Lin Yi looked at Qibing, deep in thought. It all seemed real, but Lin Yi felt that it was a bit unnatural! Since old Zhao had already treated him to a meal and made the Hidden House Zhao a subsidiary of his, then Zhao qikun's Ascension was unstoppable. No matter how stupid Qibing was, he should understand this, right?
Why did it seem like Zhao Qibing really didn't know about the situation today, and was still fantasizing about him becoming the heir to the house? However, Lin Yi really couldn't tell what was going on. What was Qibing up to today?
Qibing seemed to be in a good mood-he continued putting food into Lin Yi's bowl seriously after the scolding. His face was still a little pale, but he didn't raise any more questions.
Qibing's speed wasn't fast, so Lin Yi would have a taste of every dish he picked up. First, he was giving face to house Zhao, and second, Lin Yi was really hungry. With Lin Yi's appetite, Qibing didn't pick up much food!
Qibing only asked after Lin Yi had tried all the dishes,"Senior Lin, which one do you like? I'll get you more!"
"Not bad. Your Zhao family's chef should be comparable to a five-star hotel. You really know how to enjoy life!" Lin Yi was a master chef himself, and if even he found the food to be delicious, the chef must be something special.
"Hehe, I'm sorry. If senior Lin likes it, then you can come and eat more often." Old master Zhao laughed.
Zhao Qibing saw that Lin Yi didn't say anything special, and so he started picking up the food on the table casually. This time, he was serving only Lin Yi, and old Zhao would be full after eating a little of each dish. (To be continued.)
