Perhaps his life had already begun to change when he met Qi Jiu, but he just didn't know it.

Perhaps he was wrong before. Life is never boring; the people around you play a very important role.

Qi Jiu is that person; Qi Jiu is the one who changed his life.

Back at the Delin family, the matter had already been forgotten. Qing Shuang preferred to wait in the cold wind rather than leave, as all she wanted to know was how Rong Man was doing.

"Qiqi?"

She saw the familiar vehicle, and a mixture of nervousness and anticipation washed over her.

The girl opened the car window, looked at Qing Shuang's worried face, and smiled. "Auntie, don't worry, Third Sister has been rescued and is now in the car behind us. Come with us."

There's still some distance between the manor entrance and the main building. Judging from her appearance, she must have been waiting in this cold wind for quite some time in this cold weather.

Qing Shuang suddenly looked up at the car behind her, her eyes welling up with tears without her realizing it.

The car continued moving forward, and Bai Feng suddenly came to his senses and, for some reason, laughed.

"Miss, have you always been this responsible? Now that we know each other, if something happens to me, will you come to my rescue?"

Qi Jiu raised her eyes, looked at the figure in front of her who hadn't yet come to his senses, and chuckled softly.

“I am the heir of the Delin family, and Rongman is a member of my Delin family. If I don’t save her, who will I save? As for you… we’re not acquainted.”

After saying that, he waved his hand dismissively, seemingly with some disdain.

Bai Feng: "..."

Not only did I get paid to be someone's henchman, but after all that effort, all I got in return was a "we're not familiar" comment? Is there no justice in this world?

Back in the main building, Rongman seemed to have recovered from her fear. Her dark blue suit still looked sharp, and she slowly walked to the girl's side in her high heels.

Thank you.

The girl tilted her head. "Thank me for what?"

Rongman was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Qijiu to ask such a question. What's with the thanks? Isn't the answer obvious?

"Of course, I want to thank you for risking your life to save me from Henro. They were clearly prepared; I didn't expect you to..."

"I never expected I would personally come to save you?"

Rongman looked into her unfathomable black eyes and nodded.

The identity of the heir is more sensitive than any of theirs, and even if it's for her own sake, she probably wouldn't gamble with her own life.

What did you go out for today?

"Henry wanted to curry favor with Lind, and I was there as his lobbyist."

The girl spread her hands. "Isn't that good enough? You came here today representing the Delin family, and I am the heir of the Linde family. Naturally, I can't let anything happen to you, and you don't need to thank me."

Qing Shuang's emotions were somewhat different; she was now...crying and laughing at the same time?

The way he looked at Qi Jiu had already subtly changed. "Qi Qi, I still want to thank you for something today. I admit I had my own selfish reasons, but..."

“I understand, Aunt, you don’t need to say more, I understand. You are Third Sister’s biological mother, who wouldn’t love their own child? I think even if there are, there probably aren’t many.”

Before Qing Shuang could finish speaking, she was interrupted.

It's just a matter of social etiquette; she understands it all. Besides, today's situation isn't hopeless; everything can be resolved.

"Is this what the Delin family looks like?"

Suddenly, a defiant voice came from the doorway. Turning around, I saw Lone Wolf rubbing the white fur on his head with some annoyance.

My previously neatly styled hair is now so messy it looks like a bird's nest.

He looked around the main building's decorations as if he were on a tour, until he saw Qi Jiu's ambiguous smile. Then he chuckled and took a long stride to sit down next to the girl.

His long legs seemed to have nowhere to go next to him, and he, who was originally very arrogant, had become much more restrained in front of the girl.

With his long arm draped over the sofa, it seemed far too presumptuous to those around him.

"Well, thank you so much for this..."

Qing Shuang didn't know how to address the person next to Qi Jiu, but just looking at him, she felt that this person was not someone to be trifled with. However, she still had to express her gratitude.

Lone Wolf suddenly felt so many eyes on him, paused for a moment, then turned around and waved his hand dismissively.

"It's nothing, it's all Qiqi's idea. You should thank her instead."

Qing Shuang smiled faintly. How could she not know that it was Qi Jiu's idea from the beginning until now? But his willingness to come and help was also a help to the Delin family.

Now that the Delin family is in the eye of the storm, many forces are naturally trying to avoid them.

"You're back?" Suddenly, a voice came from the doorway again.

The sound was very loud and echoed throughout the entire hall.

As the people on the sofa turned around, they saw Qi Lin appear, panting heavily. He was still wearing the same suit, but the expression on his face was different from before.

"You're back." The girl nodded.

Qi Lin's gaze lingered on Lone Wolf for a moment, but he quickly composed himself. "Xiao Man, are you alright?"

Rongman shook her head. "It's alright. Thanks to Qiqi's help, Hengluo has surrendered now."

When Qi Lin appeared, Lone Wolf's gaze never left him. His eyes looked him up and down as if he were being appraised, but the emotions in his eyes were ever-changing.

Qi Lin nodded, but finally turned his gaze to Lone Wolf.

“I understand what happened today. This must be the person who helped the Delin family. Thank you very much. I am Qi Lin, the eldest son of the Delin family.”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, which Ling saw but did not react.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to meet so many people. If you want to express your gratitude, thank you for having such an excellent successor."

Lone Wolf no longer bothered to smile, and without worrying about embarrassing Qi Lin, he turned his head directly to look at Qi Jiu.

"Qiqi, the air here isn't very good. Come outside with me for a while."

Watching the two figures walk away, Rongman and Qingshuang exchanged a glance unintentionally.

"Brother, don't worry about what happened earlier. I heard that Lone Wolf has a very strange temper, and I didn't even get to say a few words to him."

Qi Lin withdrew his hand and suddenly smiled. "It's nothing. I know he has a strange temper, so I wasn't angry. It's a fact that he helped the Delin family."

He smiled as he spoke. "I still have things to take care of today. You must be frightened. Get some rest."

After saying that, he turned and left.
