At the entrance of the Qi family's old residence.

"I'm at the entrance of the Qi family's old house."

Qi Jiu tilted her head as she looked at the screen where she had sent the message but hadn't received a reply yet.

Not home? Didn't Qi Silin say he was home today? Did something come up?

The 'click-click-click' sound of typing rang out, and before the message in the chat box could be sent, there was already movement at the entrance of the old house.

"Mr. Qi."

A deep voice came from behind. Turning around, he saw Qi Silin's cold and stern face.

He seemed a little different today. His face was still handsome, but perhaps because we were used to seeing him in a suit, his casual look today had reduced his "don't mess with me" aura.

"Mr. Qi, what brings you here?"

"Sisi's matter has caused your Qi family a lot of trouble, and this time it has even reached Old Master Qi's side. You should come and take a look."

At this point, a slight impatience appeared on Qi Silin's face, which Qi Jiu immediately noticed. "Is it inconvenient for the Qi family to discuss this now?"

"It's a minor issue, nothing serious, please come in."

Qi Jiu carried the finest tea leaves and followed Qi Silin inside.

The Qi family's old house is not small, about the same size as the Shen family's manor. It is well maintained, with all the flowers and plants trimmed very neatly.

As they drew closer, the sounds of crying and arguing came from inside the old house.

"Grandpa Qi, you can't say that! Our Yaoyao was just confused for a moment. She didn't do it on purpose. Please give her another chance!"

"Exactly, Yao Yao is still young, what does she know?"

"Snap!"

Qi Silin pushed open the door and entered, with Qi Jiu following behind him. She turned to the side and saw the scene inside the hall.

The elderly man in the main seat must be Grandpa Qi. He was holding a cane and, despite his age, his back was still straight. He had his eyes closed and seemed unwilling to listen to the noise.

Looking at the man and woman opposite them, although they were standing, they were not far from kneeling down. They were looking at the person in the main seat with mournful faces and pleading expressions.

"What were you doing out there in such a hurry, kid?"

Hearing the door open, Old Master Qi opened his eyes.

"To pick someone up."

"You, what are you doing here!"

Madam Qin recognized Qi Jiu immediately, staring at her with eyes wide open, looking as if she wanted to devour her whole.

Qi Jiu glanced at her but didn't pay her any attention immediately. Instead, she placed the tea leaves in her hand on the table. "Hello, Grandpa Qi. I am Qi Jiu, and I am also Shen Sisi's older sister. I came to see you today."

The Qin couple are now standing here, unsure whether to leave or stay.

Grandpa Qi looked at the tea leaves in front of him. His serious expression vanished instantly, his eyes lighting up. "Good, good, Miss Qi, please have a seat!"

"Grandpa Qi, look at our Yao Yao..."

Speaking of this matter, Old Master Qi's good mood was completely ruined, and the smile that had been on his lips disappeared.

"Qin Yao was confused for a moment? Hasn't she done this kind of thing countless times? Is she always confused? Is Qin Yao still young and doesn't understand? She's in her first year of high school, and she doesn't understand? Is she mentally challenged? Are you parents blind?!"

He pounded his cane on the floor, yelling, "If Old Qin were here, seeing you like this, he'd be so angry he'd crawl out of his coffin. Get out! The Qi family has nothing to do with this! The Qi family will never get involved again!"

"Old Master Qi, you can't let this matter stop you..." Madam Qin was about to say something more, but before she could finish, she was dragged out by the servants of the old house.

After the Qin couple left, the old house became much quieter. At this moment, a slight awkwardness filled the air.

"Hey, Qiqi, I heard Alin mention you because of Sisi. Actually, you don't need to bring anything with you."

As he spoke, the old man's eyes glanced at the tea leaves on the table.

Qi Silin: "..." Can you please not be so obvious?

"That's only right, after all, the Qi family also helped in this matter." Qi Jiu's reply was appropriate and polite, which made Old Master Qi feel much better.

Grandpa Qi seemed to have finally found someone, and he chatted with them about this and that, even bringing them to the chess game.

As the grandson, Qi Silin could only watch from the sidelines, or rather, he had to serve tea and water, and couldn't even get a word in edgewise while listening to the two playing chess.

Qi Silin: "..."

It wasn't until evening that Old Master Qi released the people.

"Qiqi, come visit me when you have time! Ah Lin doesn't like to talk, and I don't have much to say to him! It's better if you come!"

Qi Silin: "..."

"I will."

At the entrance of the old house, Qi Silin spoke with a rare hint of embarrassment, "Thank you for your help today. The old man has probably been holding back for a long time. It's not easy for you to come to his door, so he wants to relieve his boredom."

Qi Jiu shook her head indifferently, "It's nothing. I should thank Young Master Qi for serving me tea and water."

When they were at the Qi family's old house, Qi Silin would ask the kitchen to cook when he was hungry, pour water when he was thirsty, and cut fruit when he was thirsty.

The man leaned against the car door, listened to these words, and smiled, a slight ripple appearing in his dark eyes.

"You're welcome, it's my pleasure."

Back at the Shen family manor, just as I entered my room, Shen Sisi knocked on the door and came in.

"Qiqi, Qin Yao has been asked to leave."

"I know." The girl's face showed some annoyance when she talked about it.

"Take care of yourself lately, Qin Yao. You might be having some psychological issues." The implication was that Qin Yao might retaliate.

I only learned about this after visiting the Qi family today.

She felt it necessary to tell Shen Sisi about this, as it might increase her panic. However, it's better to be safe than sorry; perhaps a moment of carelessness on her part could lead to disaster.

We must be vigilant.

"Ah? I... Qiqi..."

"It's alright. I'll have the Shen family secretly follow you recently. I'll also notify the Shen family." After saying that, he set himself as an emergency contact on Shen Sisi's phone.

"If you encounter difficulties, fight them immediately."

People with psychological problems are capable of anything, so this matter should not be taken lightly.

When the Shen family first learned about this, they were all very worried. They called many people to protect Shen Sisi.

But the Qin family seemed to have vanished without a trace, and there was no further news of them.

As time went on, they all lowered their guard.

"It's been so long, and the Qin family still hasn't shown up. Qiqi, aren't you worrying too much?"

Having so many people following her every day would be inconvenient for Shen Sisi.

Shen Cisheng looked at Qi Jiu and said, "This is a society governed by law. It's inconvenient to have so many people following us. Let's leave."

The girl didn't speak, but instead looked up at Shen Cimo, who was also silent.
