Chapter 13

Chi Qi then remembered that Jian Qi always kept to himself and didn't even join the class group. Or maybe no one took the initiative to notify him.

Students who transfer in mid-term want to integrate into the new class. Unless they have a cheerful personality, they usually need a period of adjustment. Jian Qi's introverted personality makes him almost invisible in the group.

What's worse is that Jian Qi almost seemed to be bullied at school.

The reason why I said "seemed" was because Chi Qi was not sure. He accidentally heard in the bathroom that Zhou Xu, the school bully from the next class, said that he wanted to beat up the new student Jian Qi to vent his anger for his sweetheart.

Now that I think about it, wasn’t the person Zhou Xu was pursuing so publicly exactly Song Ruoyao?

During that time, Chi Qi secretly paid attention to Jian Qi, fearing that he would really be bullied. However, before he could take any measures, Zhou Xu was put in solitary confinement at home.

It is said that Zhou's father and mother were very angry, but after Zhou Xu appeared in school again, he became well-behaved and dared not cause trouble again.

"I'll add you."

Jian Qi's phone was very old, with tiny cracks on the screen, and it responded very slowly. It took several minutes to successfully exchange contact information.

[You have successfully added Jianqi and can chat now. 】

"Okay, bye."

Looking at the backs of Chi Qi and Shen Wanji, Jian Qi leaned against the wall nonchalantly, his long eyelashes half covering his deep gaze, and the slightly raised arc at the corners of his eyes revealed a bit of indifference.

After a long time, he turned off the screen, dusted himself off, and turned away.

*

It was already evening when Chi Tingsi returned home.

"What an ugly face." Father Chi commented and asked, "Did you bankrupt the company?"

Chi Tingsi seemed to have no ears and walked straight forward without looking back.

Father Chi said with a sigh: "It's impolite."

He turned his head to look at his youngest son, who was sitting upright. As expected, Xiaoqi was obedient, well-behaved and sensible.

[My wife ran away, how can I not look unhappy? 】

Father Chi shook his arm holding the water cup: “…cough cough cough cough cough.”

Some things are better to just think about, why speak them out loud? Doesn't this hit the boss right in the heart?

Oh, no.

Xiao Qi was thinking about it in his heart.

[Hua Ama is really old. He can even choke when drinking water! 】

“…”

I shouldn't have said that so early. My face hurts.

Chi's mother didn't tolerate his temper and said in a rather aggressive tone: "Who are you showing off to? I'm already annoyed by your icy face every day. You have a bad temper and you're a fool. No wonder your wife ran away. Who can stand you?"

Oops, I was careless and said what was really in my heart.

But who is Chi's mother? The highest emperor in the Chi family.

Without giving Chi Tingsi a chance to refute, he immediately took the moral high ground, "I worked so hard to raise you, did I do this just to make you angry?"

Chi Tingsi: “…”

A mouthful of blood choked in his throat. His wife ran away. No, his wife was on a business trip. He was forced to stay alone in the empty house. It was sad enough. Why did they have to drag him out again and again to whip his corpse?

[Oh my God!] My brother looks like he's about to break. 】

Thank you, please shut up, this is the greatest help to me.

Father Chi cleared his throat and changed the subject, "You must be tired after working all day. Let Xiao Si eat first."

Heaving a sigh of relief, Chi Tingsi left quickly as if escaping.

The phone vibrated, Chi Qi opened it and took a look, then began to reply to messages as usual. At this point in time, the circle of friends was quite lively, with several avatars crowded under the red dot indicating new messages.

He clicked into the circle of friends.

The first one is someone familiar.

@周叙: The sky is high and the birds can fly freely. I can’t trap anyone.

Chi Qi opened his eyes slightly, became alert, and analyzed and guessed with great interest.

Can’t trap anyone? Did he fail in being a bootlicker? 】

The word "licking dog" easily makes people think of many things.

Chi's mother and father turned their heads to look over at the same time.

After Chi Qili took a quick look at the incident, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

[As expected, the source of art is life. This is too bloody. 】

Chi's mother's attention was instantly attracted, and she couldn't suppress her curiosity.

How bloody is it? Is it more outrageous than the novel she’s following?

Chi's father was also very anxious. After handing over the company to his son, he was no longer busy and spent all day tending to flowers and plants. His retirement life was boring, and he relied on the occasional large and small melons to add some fun.

In a corner where no one cared, the exhausted Chi Tingsi was wolfing down the leftovers. If he knew what his biological father was thinking, he would probably give up his position immediately. He wished he could be around Lin Qingmian 24 hours a day.

Whoever falls in love with this crappy class can join!

[Ah——I see.] 】

Several burning gazes fell on Chi Qi, waiting for his next words.

[Let me explain: Eighteen years ago, Yang Qi, the Song family's nanny, out of jealousy, secretly exchanged her own child with the Song family's young master when no one was at home. Fearing that the matter would be exposed, she quit her job soon after. 】

That’s it?

Father Chi was disdainful. Is this another real or fake young master? He's heard it three times this month.

[Eighteen years later, the real young master Jian Qi was found. The fake young master Song Ruoyao was worried about falling out of favor, so he staged a scene of jumping off the roof and framed the real young master. With the tragic result of breaking his leg and not being able to take the college entrance examination, Cheng Dong aroused the sympathy of Song's father and mother, and they drove Jian Qi out of the house. 】

Chi's mother frowned. It would be fine if he jumped off the building, but why did he give up the college entrance examination? The college entrance examination is so important, but it’s such a confusing thing that one can’t figure it out.

[Without the guarantee of blood relationship, Song Ruoyao was extremely anxious and wanted desperately to maintain his wealth and glory, so he chose to marry into the Jiang family? 】

Father and Mother Chi looked at each other, as if they had heard some rumors about the two families planning to marry each other. But if they remembered correctly, Song Ruoyao was the same age as Xiao Qi, so they were being too hasty. It seems that the Song family’s situation is indeed not very good.

Intermarriage among wealthy families is a very common phenomenon. Combining power and wealth, a strong alliance in strength can strengthen the family business and pass it on for a longer time.

It’s just that Chi’s father and mother were in a free love relationship back then and chose to be together only after they fell in love with each other. Therefore, they never forced their three children into marriage. They both hoped that their children could find their own happiness.

[Hey, why can’t I see the rest of it? What happened at the engagement party? The title of this chapter is——】

Chi Qi was stunned and uttered a "wow" in a shocked, amazed and unbelievable tone.

Chi's mother was irritated by the drawn-out ending tone and quickly pricked up her ears.

【Since he can do it, then why do we...

You are crazy! 】

It's wonderful. These short fourteen words hint at the complicated relationship between three people, and vividly display the forced choices, hidden love, and feelings that cannot be made public?

Healthy love is beautiful, but abnormal love is really wonderful.

Chi's mother was intrigued and was eager to know the subsequent development of the incident.

Why can’t it be opened? There is a red lock behind the title. Does it mean that this chapter is locked? 】

Chi Qi was very confused and poked at his mind.

[The chapter has been locked][The chapter has been locked][The chapter has been locked]

? Are you sick?

What is more painful than not being able to eat the melon is that you can only eat half of it.

Chi Qi collapsed on the sofa with a dull look in his eyes: Destroy it, I'm tired.

Chi's mother was already getting anxious and having all sorts of thoughts. According to her extensive reading experience, locking a chapter usually violated the website's rules.

So the question is? In the absence of drugs or gambling, there is only one reason for violating the website's regulations - something unspeakable has happened.

Just when some images were about to appear in my mind, Chi Tingsi, who had just finished eating cold rice, came over and called out, "Mom."

Chi's mother: "..."

"What do you want me to do? Do you want me to hit you?"

"Ah? That's not what I meant." Chi Tingsi didn't understand how he had offended his honorable mother again, and hurriedly said, "Song Muchi contacted me and said that the Song family wanted to cooperate with us."

【no! Big brother, you must not agree to this. Song Muchi is a rotten person. He is so mean to his own brother. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. If you cooperate with him, won’t he be less nice to me in the future? 】

The corners of Chi Tingsi's mouth twitched, and he really wanted to give him a blow.

[No, no!] The point is not this. The Song family is simply a parasitic monkey. Whoever gets involved with it will be unlucky. If my brother cooperates with the Song family, he will at least lose tens of millions. These are not the happy beans in Landlord, but tens of millions of real money. 】

【well! The key point is that I only know nine out of ten things about business, and I have never shown any concern for my own company. How should I remind my brother not to cooperate with the Song family? 】

Father Chi cleared his throat when he saw this. "Take a long-term view. Don't destroy your foundation for the sake of temporary benefits. Don't consider cooperating with the Song family. It will not benefit you."

President Chi was exhausted after a day of hard work. He did not expect to have to listen to his father's lectures when he got home. He was immediately distracted and answered no matter what his father asked, "You are right."

On the contrary, Chi Qi couldn't help but sigh.

[Wow!] Dad is so far-sighted. It turns out that eating more salt for a few decades is different. 】

Father Chi: I suddenly felt that my blood pressure was quite high.

*

At night, Chi Qi lay on the bed with his eyelids drooping, watching videos with his eyes half open and half closed. He felt sleepy, and after a fierce struggle, he reluctantly put down his phone.

As I was drowsy, my cell phone rang.

Caller: Second sister.

Having a bad feeling, Chi Qi slowly unlocked the screen, then wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, trying to move to the corner of the bed, away from the phone.

"My dear brother." Chi Sulu's cheerful voice came from the phone, "How have you been recently? I have seen you several times on the Internet."

"It's good. I won't die." Chi Qi yawned.

"If you're not going to die, then hurry up and start live streaming. How many times have you asked for leave?" Chi Sulu's tone changed in an instant, and he ordered, "Hurry up and earn some gold coins for me."

Chi Qi was not surprised, and his heart finally settled down. This was normal. "Sister, I'm still on summer vacation."

What he meant was that he wanted to take a rest.

Chi Sulu sneered, "Xiao Qi, there are no holidays in the adult world."

Chi Qi's eyelids twitched, still thinking about bargaining, "Sister, I think..."

"I don't want you to feel, I want me to feel, ok?"

Hearing the anger hidden in Chi Sulu's words, Chi Qi wisely closed his mouth and replied obediently: "No problem, sister."

"The show will start on time at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. If you don't make gold coins for me, I'll come back and beat you up next time."
