Chapter 236 is truly absurd.

Qi Jianyue nodded to show that she understood, and reached out to pull Qi Siyue back.

But Qi Siyue now felt utterly disgusted by her, turning away and looking at her with eyes full of loathing.

"Don't touch me, get away from me."

If it weren't for their past relationship at the hotel, Qi Siyue would never have kindly asked someone to help the drunk Qi Jianyue to his room first.

If it weren't for this good intention, he wouldn't have fallen into Qi Jianyue's trap.

Now he's acting like a beast, having slept with his former sister and even having a child with her.

Qi Siyue could neither accept nor forgive Qi Jianyue's behavior.

Therefore, he doesn't want to see Qi Jianyue at all now; all he feels now is regret.

Qi Jianyue looked at Qi Siyue with a pitiful and aggrieved expression.

But Qi Siyue, who once cared for her the most, now looks at her with only regret and disgust in his eyes.

Li Rujun didn't want to see Qi Jianyue anymore, so she waved her hand and said, "What are you still standing there for? Get her out of here. You just stay put and rest during your pregnancy. Once you give birth, you will disappear from Beijing completely and disappear from our sight!"

"Mom, I know that no matter how I explain it now, you won't believe me, but I really didn't scheme against my brother. That day was indeed an accident. If it weren't for the accident that resulted in the child, I definitely wouldn't have come to bother you."

No one present was a fool. Even Qi Jianyue herself didn't believe what she was saying, let alone that she had no choice. It was utterly ridiculous.

After Qi Jianyue was taken away, Old Master Qi struck the ground forcefully with his cane.

"This is outrageous! Outrageous! When has my Qi family ever done anything so absurd? You've completely ruined the family's reputation! Qi Siyue, you've truly opened my eyes!"

Originally, Old Master Qi was about to agree to let Qi Siyue return to the group headquarters because he was soft-hearted.

As a result of Qi Siyue's antics, Old Master Qi was nearly driven mad with anger.

Qi Siyue was filled with shame and remorse: "I'm sorry, Grandpa. I've let you down. No matter what the truth of this matter is, it was indeed my mistake, and I will take full responsibility for it."

"You'll take responsibility? How will you take responsibility? You'll appease Qi Jianyue, make her disappear from Beijing after giving birth, and then the Qi family will be the ones cleaning up your mess, won't they?"

"Besides, once the child is born, it will be a stain on your life. What noble family would be willing to marry you in the future? You are really foolish, so foolish!"

Li Rujun hurriedly said, "Dad, if all else fails, just register the child in my name and say that I gave birth to him. That way, it won't affect Si Yue's future marriage..."

"Shut up! If it weren't for your constant indulgence of Qi Jianyue, if you hadn't raised the children to be like this, how could such a ridiculous thing have happened today!"

After being harshly scolded, Li Rujun could only lower her head and endure the old man's reprimands without uttering a single word.

After all, although the old man was angry, he wasn't just saying things randomly.

Over the years, because Qi Jianyue was Li Rujun's only daughter, she did indeed show her more favoritism.

It was precisely because Li Rujun was unable to distinguish right from wrong that she taught Qi Jianyue to be unscrupulous.

If Qi Jianyue had even a shred of shame, she wouldn't have gone this far.

At this moment, Qi Xiaoyun couldn't help but speak up: "If it really doesn't work out, just say the child is mine. Anyway, I'm not going to join the group. The main thing is that it won't affect my brother or the group's reputation. I'm willing to accept the child."

Grandpa Qi struck Qi Xiaoyun with his cane.

"You ungrateful brat, isn't today's scene chaotic enough? With your current job, once you have this child, won't the whole world know? You better behave yourself!"

Despite his advanced age, Mr. Qi is quite knowledgeable about the ways of the entertainment industry.

Those gossip reporters in the entertainment industry can dig up any hint of romance, let alone a living child.

What kind of crazy idea must the Qi family have to be so eager to announce this child that shouldn't exist to the world?

"Grandpa, it's all my fault, but no matter what, this child is innocent. I will take responsibility for the child, and I will never get married again in this life."

Upon hearing this, Li Rujun became anxious: "No way, Si Yue, you're still so young. Besides, if you hadn't devoted yourself to the group's business all these years, you wouldn't still be without time for dating."

"If you ruin your life because of this child, I will never forgive myself!"

Just as the mother and son were about to embrace and cry, Qi Chenyan coldly said, "Shut up."

"It's just a child. If the other party truly loves Si Yue, why would they care about a child? If the existence of the child makes it impossible to match someone of equal social standing, then we should consider compatibility with someone of lower social standing."

"You're making a scene over something so trivial, crying and wailing. Have you wasted all those years of upbringing?"

It has to be said that it was Qi Chenyan who really didn't let anyone off the hook with his criticism.

"Whether this was a setup or just an accident, it ultimately shows that you, Si Yue, were not careful enough. As a member of the Qi family, you don't even have this much sense of crisis, which makes people doubt your ability to handle things."

"Since you're doing well at that hotel, just keep doing it. Don't try to subtly suggest you can return to the group headquarters."

Qi Siyue kept his head down, offering no rebuttal to Qi Chenyan's reprimand.

"Dad, are we still going to eat this meal?"

After stabilizing the chaotic situation with a few words, Qi Chenyan suddenly suggested eating, leaving Old Master Qi somewhat taken aback.

"Eat, of course we'll eat. It's not easy for you and Lili to come today, so we can't let an outsider disrupt our rare get-together. Sit down and eat."

After dinner, it was getting late, so Yu Li and Qi Chenyan went to sleep at the old house.

They slept in Qi Chenyan's room. Qi Chenyan received a work call and went to the study, telling Yu Li to go back to her room and take a shower first.

After taking a shower, Yu Li casually strolled around while drying her hair, and ended up flipping through a photo album.

This was actually Qi Chenyan's photo album from when he was born until he turned eighteen.

Yu Li had seen photos of Qi Chenyan when he was young at Tang Zhongyi's place before, but none of them were as complete as this album.

Moreover, the photo album is arranged by age: one year old, two years old, three years old...

Yu Li stared intently at these precious photos.

This photo album represents the deep love that Qi Chenyan's family has for him, but Yu Li doesn't have such an album.

In her childhood memories, her parents were always arguing, which eventually led to their divorce. Neither of them wanted her, so they abandoned her in the countryside.

Grandma is too old to even use a smartphone, so how could she take pictures?

"Your hair is still wet, what are you looking at so intently?"
