When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 262

Chapter 262: Chapter 106: Top Sister of the 60s Cultural Troupe (45)

Under the table, he took her hand and squeezed it gently, a silent promise to face the future together with her.

While their meal was a joyous affair, Mr. and Mrs. He received the news and came rushing over, practically radiating killing intent.

Just as they stepped through the doors of the state-owned restaurant, He Qingjun spotted them.

He nudged his sister and jutted his chin toward the entrance.

When He Qingran saw the livid expressions on their faces, she glanced at the others at her table. Instead of the nervousness and timidity she had expected to feel, she smiled calmly and said, "Old He, Stepmother, you’re here?"

"What unfortunate timing. We’re almost finished, so we can’t really invite you to join us."

"Allow me to introduce you. This is Comrade Liu Mingkun, my date. Director Huo introduced us."

Although Huo Tianhao’s relationship with the Huo Family was at a freezing point—he had even received a letter of disownment personally written by Director Huo—the other Director Huo, from the Women’s Federation, treated the young couple simply as ordinary relatives and colleagues. She kept them at a comfortable distance, which suited everyone just fine.

These days, people needed a matchmaker for arranged dates, and Director Huo was the most suitable choice.

Vice Factory Director He’s face was cold as he stepped forward and said, "He Qingran, if you still consider me your father, then you will come home with me right now. Stop making a spectacle of yourself!"

He Qingran laughed. "Old He, you’re wrong about that. It’s not as if I can sever our father-daughter relationship just because I want to. If I could, I’d light a string of firecrackers to celebrate."

"You..." Seeing that everyone in the restaurant was now looking their way, Vice Factory Director He’s expression grew even darker. He felt that this unfilial daughter had completely destroyed both his dignity and his reputation.

Ning Yourong quickly pulled him back and said with a smile, "Old He, the children are grown now. They care about their dignity. If there’s something to discuss, let’s talk about it slowly at home. You need to work on that temper of yours. With a temper like that, no one will appreciate your good intentions."

With that, she turned to Liu Mingkun, who was carrying himself like a young lord. The smile in her eyes deepened. "This must be our Ranran’s young man, correct? You’re quite handsome. And from the way you’re dressed, your family must be well-off, too."

"Ranran can be so thoughtless, not bringing you home to meet us. Her father and I had no idea; we had to hear it from the neighbors. That girl is far too willful. How could she make such a major life decision all by herself?"
