(Multiple Identitities + Pure Love + Favorite of the Group + Face-Slapping + Big Shot) A mission brought Qi Jiu to China, where she became the adopted daughter of the Shen family.
Outside obs...
"Didn't you speak well of me to my family elders and introduce me to someone before? Now I'm repaying that kindness tenfold. You don't need to worry about it, it's just a small matter to me."
Moreover, she didn't intend to be involved in the whole process herself, since Xu Feng, an Interpol agent, was there; she could just let him handle the middle part.
Xu Feng: "..."
"Bang!" Suddenly, a loud noise came from the front of the laboratory, drawing the attention of everyone in the classroom.
Upon seeing the target person or object, they acted as if nothing had happened, keeping their heads down and going about their own business.
Only Qi Jiu, looking at the glass instrument in her hand, seemed to have guessed something based on the direction of the sound, even without looking up.
"Han Jiayin broke experimental equipment again?"
Jiang Xin turned to look at Qi Jiu, who was engrossed in her experiment, and was stunned. "Qi Qi, you knew without even looking up?"
Qi Jiu's lips curled up slightly beneath her mask. "I don't even need to guess; hasn't she broken enough already?"
From the beginning, when she was doing some dual-use tasks and running back and forth between the two professions every day, she smashed so many instruments in the lab that she could hardly count them on her fingers.
Han Jiayin: "..."
Jiang Xin: "..."
Although, it seems to make sense.
Zhu Luoxing looked at Han Jiayin, who was in a state of collapse but trying hard to suppress her emotions, and touched her chin with her fingers.
As if he had thought of something, he hissed.
"Didn't they say G would come to China? How come I haven't heard anything about it? Does anyone know anything about what happened next? Han Jiayin publicized it a lot, but now there's no follow-up at all?"
Qi Jiu looked at the prepared medicine without even lifting her eyelids, clearly indicating that she no longer wanted to answer the question.
Jiang Xin pursed her lips. "Could it be that Qiqi was right before? G didn't agree?"
"Wouldn't that be so embarrassing for her? She'd already made that boast, and if she didn't do anything afterward, wouldn't people call her a liar? Who would believe her after that?"
Chu Cangyu took off his mask, smiled, looked at the slightly flustered figure in front of him, and shook his head.
"What's there to be afraid of? I don't think she cares. These days, in every lab class, she's either being yelled at or having equipment smashed. And she doesn't seem to have any outstanding achievements in design either. She's probably used to it by now. Isn't being pointed at and talked about all the time?"
These words may be harsh, especially since she is a girl, but that's the truth.
At first, there might have been some sympathy, but now, after everything they've been through, it's really hard to feel any sympathy for them anymore.
The teacher has said everything she needed to say; the rest is up to her to decide.
Everyone had a fulfilling time in the lab class, and naturally, the time flew by.
After a day of classes, Qi Jiu looked at the somewhat gloomy weather outside and pursed her lips.
"Yang Nan can only stay at your He family's house for a while now. I will contact Interpol soon and I will go with you. During this time, if Yang Nan wants to leave, you cannot let him go."
We cannot act rashly under these circumstances.
The people behind Yang Nan know that Yang Nan is still alive. Although Yang Nan's wife and children are in their hands, they dare not make a move now.
After all, they still need Yang Nan to bring out the existing intelligence about the He family.
He Qingfeng nodded, his eyes filled with gratitude. "I know that saying 'thank you' is no longer enough. If you ever need any help from the He family in the future, just let me know."
Qi Jiu smiled and nodded.
She had originally intended to go back to her dormitory, but as soon as she went downstairs, she saw a very familiar Maybach on the road and blinked.
Almost instinctively, I walked towards the Maybach.
I was initially a little skeptical, but after taking a couple of steps and seeing a familiar string of 8s on the license plate ahead, I pursed my lips.
It really was him.
But what about the people?
Before the girl could figure anything out, she saw the man in a suit making a phone call across the street.
Perhaps sensing her gaze, Qi Silin quickly noticed her as well, and looked at her with a slight smile.
He held his phone to his ear and said something, then quickly hung up. With a long stride, he walked across the street towards the girl.
"I guess you're not going back to the dorm today."
Qi Jiu: "??" What's going on? Why am I making choices for others?
Seeing the somewhat confused look in the girl's eyes, Qi Silin was taken aback. "The Shen family hasn't contacted you?"
Qi Jiu shrugged, looking somewhat helpless. "My phone died during lab class, and I forgot to charge it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man nodded knowingly. "No wonder you didn't reply to my message earlier. I thought you were busy, so I didn't want to bother you."
"What's wrong?"
What do you mean the Shen family hasn't contacted her? Did something happen to the Shen family?
Qi Silin patted her head and opened the car door. "Get in the car first, I'll tell you on the way."
After an unknown amount of time, the sky outside completely darkened. Qi Jiu looked at the brightly lit Shen family manor in front of her, then turned to look at the man behind her.
"You're really not going in?"
They're already at the door; the Shen family should know by now, so there shouldn't be any more problems. The way they're walking now, it's like they have a personal chauffeur.
Qi Silin smiled somewhat helplessly, "I'd like to, but not now. I might need to go back to the company for an emergency meeting."
Seeing this, the girl did not try to stop her.
Back at the Shen family home, the atmosphere was as cheerful as ever, but this was only on the surface.
Qi Jiu's sudden return was unexpected by Shen Cimo and Shen Cisheng, because all the messages they sent out had gone unanswered.
They looked at Qi Jiu with surprise in their eyes.
The Shen family enjoyed their meal immensely, chatting about this and that. Even Shen Sisi, who was exhausted from a long day of classes, would occasionally chime in.
After dinner, everyone seemed to return to their own routines. Chen Sisi went back to her room to do her homework, while Chen Ting and Liu Li watched TV in the living room, occasionally feeding themselves a piece of fruit.
Qi Jiu unintentionally gave Shen Cimo and Shen Cisheng a look, and the three siblings quietly arrived at the Shen family's study.
The autumn evening was cool. The girl opened the window, and a slight breeze drifted into the room, making her feel much more awake. She reached out and tightened her clothes.
It seems that the Shen family's back garden has changed since I last visited a few days ago; from this vantage point, you can see a portion of it.
Many flowers have withered, but some are still striving to bloom.
"I thought you weren't coming back today."
Shen Cisheng's heart finally settled down, and he looked at Qi Jiu with a slight frown. "Why aren't you replying to my and my brother's messages?"
