When Gu Zhou woke up again, it was already bright daylight. He looked at the time and stood up suddenly, almost swearing.

Qi Jing was woken up by the noise and climbed up, grabbing Gu Zhou's arm. "What's wrong?"

"It's one o'clock." Gu Zhou grabbed his hair and waved away the sound insulation in the room. "Wash up and go downstairs to eat."

Qi Jing obediently got up and put on his clothes. As soon as they went downstairs, they received a lot of looks.

It's messy, but also has a bit of humor hidden in it.

Qi Jing didn't care. He ran downstairs and went straight to the kitchen. He was almost starving to death.

Gu Zhou followed behind and was stopped by Qi Yao and a few boys from the Gu family. They clearly wanted to ask them what they were doing and how they could sleep for so long.

This is Qi Jing. If it were someone else, he would have kicked the door and dragged him out of bed.

Gu Zhou was too lazy to pay attention to them. He had already gone to bed late, and Gu Xuanyi had been running out for a while. How could he not be sleepy?

After pushing the people aside, Gu Zhou went into the kitchen with Qi Jing to find something to eat. Just as they had filled their bowls with rice, Qi You walked in.

"Uncle, something's happening."

Qi Jing turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qi You quickly walked over and whispered in Qi Jing's ear, "The boss said he seemed to have encountered it."

Encountered?

Met it!

Qi Jing's eyes suddenly lit up and he ran out holding his bowl. Gu Zhou was not in a hurry and put some dishes into his bowl. You can't just eat while watching a show.

Qi Jing didn't think too much about it. He ran to the villa in front. Before he went in, he saw a few heads from the kitchen window.

Qi Jing tilted his head, holding the bowl, and walked through the wall. "What are you doing?"

The three people and the ghost were frightened and flew away, and the sound they made was blocked by the ghost energy released by Zhao Yin.

Yu Duoduo patted his chest and said, "Uncle, you scared us to death."

"You're the ones scaring people, okay? Why are you all hiding here?" Qi Jing was really curious. It would be fine if there were just one or two of them, but there were three people and a ghost, and they were hiding in the kitchen.

Xiao Qi held the bowl of noodles in both hands and explained, "We wanted to secretly cook some instant noodles, so we all came over right after the noodles were put into the pot. We didn't dare to leave because we were afraid of getting scolded."

Huo Yuanqi nodded aside. It was really not good to secretly cook instant noodles right after lunch.

Qi Jing held the bowl and looked into the pot. There was still some noodles left, and the whole kitchen was filled with the smell of instant noodles.

Qi Jing smacked his lips as he smelled the food. Yu Duoduo asked tentatively, "Uncle, do you want some?"

"Yes!" Qi Jing agreed immediately, and Yu Duoduo started cooking immediately.

Zhao Yin held Xiao Qi's shoulder and continued to watch the show outside. He used his ghost energy to block out the sound, so he could only watch but not hear.

Zhao Yin nudged Qi Jing and said, "Uncle, look at that woman. Is there something wrong with her? The peach blossoms are blooming very well."

Qi Jing heard the sound and looked over. There were many people in the living room. In addition to the Qi couple, there was another family, including an old man, two couples, and two young men and two women.

Zhao Yin was talking about the young girl sitting next to the old man. She was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with delicate features. She wasn't particularly pretty, but she had a lot of temperament.

Just as Zhao Yin said, this person has a lot of peach blossoms. He is currently entangled with three or four people, and one of them is very involved.

Qi Jing looked at Qi Shuo again. Like Qi Mo, he was standing behind Qi Jun. The red line on his wrist appeared and disappeared.

Qi Jing tilted his head, poked the rice with his chopsticks, lowered his head and took a bite. It was a bit dry.

No! I have to go back and get some food before I can watch the fun.

Qi Jing turned around, and Gu Zhou pushed open the kitchen window and came in. There were a lot of dishes in the bowls on the counter.

Qi Jing's eyes lit up instantly, and he picked up the whole thing and put it into his bowl before Gu Zhou jumped in.

Seeing Qi Jing's actions, Gu Zhou suddenly lost his appetite. He grabbed Qi Jing who was about to run away and asked, "Is this human nature what you did?"

Qi Jing glanced at the food in the bowl, then looked at Gu Zhou's bowl, which only had vegetable scraps and white rice in it. He asked tentatively, "You don't want to give it to me?"

This is not a question of giving it or not. Gu Zhou waved his hand and gave up. Seeing Yu Duoduo opened the instant noodles bag, he simply poured his bowl of rice into Qi Jing's bowl. He just ate the instant noodles.

Qi Jing didn't care about Gu Zhou's reaction at all. He once again hid near the crack of the door and ate while watching. It was a pity that he couldn't hear.

Fortunately, Yu Duoduo quickly turned off the fire and cooked the noodles. She whispered something, and Zhao Yin immediately withdrew his evil spirit, and the sounds outside also came in.

Several people listened attentively. Gu Zhou also scooped up some instant noodles and stood behind Qi Jing to join in the fun.

After listening for a while, Gu Zhou concluded, "It seems to be from the Yuan family."

"Do you know him?" Qi Jing asked. He didn't know him at all.

Gu Zhou explained, "I haven't seen it, but I've heard of it. It's a long-established company in Gucheng, and it has some connection with the Qi family."

"Tell me more about it."

Gu Zhou replied, "The Qi family also has business in Gucheng. Qi Yao's grandfather lived there for a few years and had a good relationship with the old man of the Yuan family. I heard that the old man Yuan even saved Grandpa Qi's life. The Qi family owes the Yuan family a favor."

However, the Yuan family has been on a downward spiral for the past decade or so, and they're all just prodigals. Years ago, I heard the Yuan family was soliciting investment everywhere, even going so far as to sell their daughters. But the Yuan family is a bottomless pit; they're losing money faster than they're making it.

Qi Jing listened and nodded, "It seems from his face that he is going to go bankrupt."

"It's mainly because the Yuan family isn't doing well." Gu Zhou explained to Qi Jing, "The eldest of the two brothers is a bit naive. He's often tricked into investing, throwing hundreds of millions of dollars at it. The younger one is a gambler, betting on money, horses, and women. I heard he gambled away all his shares.

The grandchildren are not up to the task either. They love to play and have no ability. They can't support the company at all. They have been sucking the old man's blood all these years. I guess I have no other choice, so I came to the Qi family for help. "

Qi Jing turned his head and looked over. "Where's that girl?"

Gu Zhou glanced outside and said, "Half-sisters. The one you are talking about is the elder sister Yuan Xiang. I heard that her life at home is not easy. The Yuan family wants to sell her this time."

Qi Jing frowned, "Are you going to sell it to Qi Xiaoshuo?"

Gu Zhou didn't answer this question. According to what Gu Xuanyi knew, this was probably the case.

However, the current Qi family still has a rule that the head of the family cannot get married, and this is not possible unless Qi Shuo agrees.

But Qi Shuo is set to be a villain. Even if he can't do anything, what about imprisonment and torture?

Not sure yet, check again!

Qi Jing took a few quick bites. Sure enough, after reminiscing about the past, the Yuan family started talking about the company. They were not very direct, but just hinted to see how the Qi family would react.

Seeing that the Qi family did not show any particularly obvious reaction, Mr. Yuan continued to speak. He talked about the current situation of the Yuan family and wanted to ask the Qi family for help to overcome this difficult time.

Qi Jun was not in a hurry to express his opinion. When Qi Shuo came to the Yuan family, he simply told him about the situation of the Yuan family. He knew that this was not something that could be solved by the Qi family giving money.

It’s just that the Qi family owed a favor in the past, so it’s okay if the Yuan family didn’t come to express their gratitude. Now that they have come, there is no reason for them to ignore it.

Looking at Qi Jun's attitude, Mr. Yuan sighed slightly, thinking that he was too abrupt.

But his sons didn't think so. The eldest son, Yuan Zhenglong, directly proposed to bring what happened that year to light.
