Chapter 84 He's Lived to the End

Qi Xiaoyun didn't enjoy the meal very much.

After all, he had pushed the announcement aside, and Qi Jianyue's words just now could be somewhat misunderstood.

Qi Xiaoyun is a celebrity, and even if it's his family, he would be somewhat unhappy if they said something that could easily lead to misunderstandings.

But soon, Qi Xiaoyun noticed that Zhou Heran was taking extra care of Yu Li at the dinner table.

On several occasions, when the higher-ups wanted to drink with Yu Li, Zhou Heran refused with various excuses.

Yu Li, on the other hand, didn't drink any alcohol, just had some beverages and ate some vegetables.

Although Qi Xiaoyun and Zhou Heran didn't get along, Qi Xiaoyun knew to some extent that Zhou Heran was someone who hated trouble.

Like him, they cherish their reputation as celebrities and would never have ambiguous relationships with women inside or outside the entertainment industry.

But his current behavior makes him seem like a protector of a flower, unwilling to let Yu Li suffer any injustice.

Wait a minute, no wonder Zhou Heran, who clearly has concerts these days, is still willing to sacrifice his rest time to participate in some interviews.

This isn't work at all; it's more like... using this opportunity to have a secret relationship and express love.

Otherwise, given Zhou Heran's personality, how could he possibly do something else while holding a concert? That would easily affect his best performance.

Qi Xiaoyun thought about it more and more and felt that his guess was very likely. The more he looked at Zhou Heran, the more he felt that there was something fishy between him and Yu Li.

Immediately, he had a brilliant plan for revenge.

“Ms. Yu, I heard that you and Jian Yue joined Lantian at the same time, and your professional skills are the best among the newcomers of the same batch.”

"After meeting you today, I can see that Miss Yu is indeed exceptionally capable. No wonder even someone as picky as Zhou Heran, who never accepts other engagements during concerts, made an exception for you."

"However, it's quite normal for people to make an exception for you, since you're so beautiful, Miss Yu."

As he spoke, Qi Xiaoyun raised his glass and said with a smile, "Zhou Heran, although we have been mortal enemies for ten years, I still admire your talent."

"Given our relationship, it will probably be difficult for us to eat at the same table again in the future. So, I'd like to take advantage of this rare opportunity to wish you all the best in advance."

Yu Li's faint smile vanished completely.

Does this guy even know what he's saying?

Did he know that the person standing in front of him right now was his aunt?

This guy actually dared to publicly wish Yu Li happiness with other men. If these words reached Qi Chenyan's ears, his nephew would be finished.

Zhou Heran was taken aback at first, then realized what shocking things Qi Xiaoyun had said.

But after a moment of anger, Zhou Heran suddenly laughed.

"Qi Xiaoyun, you're really courting death. I hope you won't regret what you just said."

Qi Xiaoyun was puzzled by these threatening words.

What a ridiculous joke! Qi Xiaoyun will never know the meaning of the word "regret" in his entire life!

"It's quite a coincidence that I have a friend who also ate at Suizhu Xiaoyuan. He had been invited for an interview before and knows many of the people here."

Zhou Heran looked at Qi Xiaoyun with a "you're doomed, kid" expression.

However, even Yu Li didn't quite understand what he was saying.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"I hope I haven't disturbed you all?"

Upon hearing that clear, deep, and magnetic voice, Yu Li's ears twitched, and she looked at the tall, slender figure walking in from outside the door with disbelief.

Qi Xiaoyun and Qi Jianyue, on the other hand, stood up immediately, as if by reflex.

That standing posture was comparable to a military posture.

Qi Xiaoyun, who was so arrogant just moments ago, now looked like a kindergarten child who had made a mistake and was being punished by standing in the corner. He was so scared that his face turned ashen, and he couldn't even speak properly, his tongue was tied in knots.

"Little, little, little..."

Qi Chenyan swept a cold glance over, and Qi Xiaoyun instantly stood up straighter and quickly shut his mouth.

Meeting my uncle here is far more exciting and terrifying than going to an escape room with a high risk of death and being chased and hacked by a ghost with a chainsaw!

Qi Xiaoyun almost forgot that he should not easily reveal Qi Chenyan's identity in public.

As for Qi Jianyue, she didn't even dare to utter a single word in front of Qi Chenyan, fearing that this nameless anger would burn her.

You know, during the last family gathering, Qi Jianyue's little scheme was exposed by Qi Chenyan, and she almost lost face in the North Atlantic.

Because the other party was Qi Jianyue, even Li Huijun and the others didn't dare to speak up for her. In the end, in order to save her last bit of face, she covered her face and ran upstairs, not even daring to eat.

Furthermore, if Qi Chenyan hadn't interfered, her scheme wouldn't have been exposed, and Ma Jiande and the others wouldn't have been imprisoned.

This series of events triggered a chain reaction, and even Qi Jianyue herself would be in jail now if Qi Siyue hadn't stepped in to protect her.

This uncle is absolutely terrifying!

Qi Chenyan glanced around coldly, but his gaze softened instantly when it landed on Yu Li.

Yu Li was still a little stunned, hardly believing her eyes that she would run into Qi Chenyan here.

When he left this morning, didn't he say he had a business dinner tonight? How come he suddenly appeared here?

Wait, Zhou Heran just said that a friend of his is coming over. Could this friend be—

The senior executives were also surprised to see Qi Chenyan here. After a few seconds of stunned silence, they hurriedly stood up and made room for the head seat.

"What a coincidence! I never expected to run into Director Qi here. Director Qi, please have a seat!"

Qi Chenyan didn't refuse and strode over.

However, as they passed by Qi Xiaoyun and Qi Jianyue, both of them inexplicably felt a chill run down their spines.

Especially Qi Xiaoyun, for some reason, he had a premonition that he was about to die.

But after thinking about it, he realized that he hadn't done anything recently that would upset his uncle.

Being invited for an interview and having a meal are just normal social interactions, right?

The only unusual thing was that I ran into my uncle at this dinner party.

If he had known there would be such an incident, even if Qi Jianyue had complained to Qi Siyue, he wouldn't have come to this dinner party. He would have disappeared long ago!

Looks like I didn't check the almanac before going out today, otherwise how could I have run into my uncle?

Qi Chenyan stopped halfway through his journey, glancing at Zhou Heran with a seemingly casual look in his eyes.

Zhou Heran immediately understood and stood up to give up his seat.

“Come, Chen Yan, sit here.”

Isn't it just that he wants to sit with his wife?

He's hopelessly in love; he even has to snuggle up to his wife while eating.

Is it impossible for someone to survive without this sticker?
