After dumping the poor tycoon, 19
The next day, when Qi An'an went downstairs, she saw Qi Dong and Qi Ning having breakfast, but the atmosphere seemed a bit tense.
Thinking about the rumors circulating online about the chairman of the Qi Group having an illegitimate child, she wasn't surprised.
"An'an, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Qi Dong looked tired, but his gaze was still relatively gentle when it fell on her.
She shook her head, "I have to go out with Aning later."
After hearing this, Qi Ning turned to look at her.
He thought she was just saying it casually last night.
Qi Dong asked, "Where to?"
Qi An'an sat down and said, "Let's go see a psychologist."
After she finished speaking, the dining room was eerily quiet, except for the slight rustling of the maid setting out the dishes.
Qi Dong glared at Qi Ning with displeasure. He had always felt that his son was a disappointment, just like his mother. He was usually fine, but when he went crazy, he would only cause trouble for him.
Jiang Mei is concerned about her reputation and won't expose the fact that she has raised an illegitimate child for over twenty years. He now suspects that Qi Ning is behind it all.
Qi An'an said, "Dad, I know everything I need to know."
My father, whom I remember as a steady and composed man, not only cheated on me in private, but also disguised his illegitimate child as an adopted son and arranged for him to meet his mistress's mother...
Qi Dong must have known about what Wen Ci did, but he didn't stop her.
Although Qi An'an thought his series of actions were absurd, what kind of people hadn't she seen?
So I'm quite calm now.
Of course, the more nonchalant she was, the more embarrassed Qi Dong felt.
Qi Ning, on the other hand, ate his breakfast as if it were none of his business.
Qi Dong asked in a deep voice, "What did you say to your sister?"
Qi Ning kept her eyes lowered, gripping the spoon tightly, clearly feeling downcast by his questioning.
Xiao Hei said slowly, "He's faking it. His emotions aren't fluctuating at all. An'an, don't mind him."
Qi An'an: "..."
She put down her water glass, but couldn't help but say, "Dad, I ran into Wen Ci at the nursing home. I forced Qi Ning to tell you that you and Mom are divorced. No matter what happened back then, it's all in the past."
The father and son fell silent again.
Qi An'an had no idea what they were thinking. The housekeeper, who knew her preferences, actually made her a sandwich.
She thoroughly enjoyed her breakfast, her eyes radiating joy and satisfaction, which was infectious.
Qi Dong shouldn't have said that his daughter was either oblivious or too indifferent.
But... this is fine too.
This family can still maintain a semblance of peace.
After considering it carefully, he said, "Let Anning take a break for the next couple of days. An'an also needs to stay home and rest."
"good."
Qi Dong lost his appetite and wiped his hands before getting up and leaving.
"Sister, thank you for speaking up for me earlier." Qi Ning's lips curled into a slight smile.
Qi An'an looked at him expressionlessly, raised her hand and pinched his cheek hard, "I actually hate pushovers the most."
Qi Ning's face was still a little swollen, but it wasn't very noticeable unless you looked closely.
But the spot she pinched started to turn red.
Qi Ning's prepared remarks were stuck in her throat, her mind replaying her earlier words, and in the end she could only nod silently.
She doesn't like people who are easily bullied, but she feels sorry for them.
After a while, as if remembering something, he said quietly, "Sister isn't a pushover, so she was deliberately acting pitiful in front of Gu Shi, right?"
Qi An'an: "..."
Qi Ning murmured, "This trick is quite effective."
Qi An'an: "..."
She didn't respond to that, saying, "Hurry up and finish eating, I made a reservation for eight o'clock."
Qi Ning smiled and said, "Okay."
The psychological clinic that Qi An'an found was the most famous in Rongcheng.
Watching Qi Ning walk into the consultation room, she was bored, so she filled out several psychological test questionnaires.
After the assistant took it away, Qi An'an picked up a book on criminal law from the bookshelf next to her and read it with great interest.
Criminal laws seem to differ in every world, so it's necessary for her to learn about them.
Around noon, Qi Ning walked out of the consultation room, with the internationally renowned psychology professor Yu Yu beside her.
Yu Yu was in his forties, handsome, and seemed very approachable.
He prescribed some medicine for Qi Ning and wasn't too worried. However, when he spoke privately with Qi An'an, he expressed concern about her mental state...
Qi An'an was completely bewildered and asked worriedly, "Then... do I need to take some medicine?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Yu's expression became even more indescribable. He shook his head and said, "No need."
She simply lacks a strong sense of identity and belonging to this world.
He used to see this in some vicious antisocial criminals... but this girl was strange. She wasn't very complicated, nor was she good at pretending or cruel.
She is like a passerby in this world, because she can leave at any time, so she doesn't care about most people and things.
However, his assistant just reminded him that Qi An'an likes to study criminal law.
Why is she looking at this all the time?
Yu Yu withdrew his strange thoughts, glanced at Qi Ning's smiling face, and sighed inwardly.
These two siblings are both quite strange.
Qi Ning wasn't very cooperative with his questions, only asking him to prescribe medicine, which showed that he had seen other doctors before.
Even if Yu Yu wanted to help this patient who resisted treatment, he couldn't.
While Qi An'an was in the restroom, Qi Ning found Yu Yu's test results regarding her psychological questionnaire.
This wasn't a secret, Yu Yu told him directly, "You said before that she was in a coma for several years, perhaps those years have had some impact on her..."
After listening, Qi Ning said, "No, she has always been like this."
Yu Yu: "...Does she need to schedule a time?"
Qi Ning put away the questionnaire that Qi An'an had filled out, and said in a soft voice, "No need."
Yu Yu wanted to get to know the siblings better, but when he met Qi Ning's gloomy gaze, he was startled and didn't say anything more.
Psychology is something that cannot be fully understood; it can only provide supplementary information.
Even he shouldn't rush to provide psychological counseling, attempting to save or heal anyone.
Hopefully, both siblings will be able to actively build good relationships with the people around them.
While Qi An'an was still in the bathroom, she heard Xiao Hei remind her, "We detected that Gu Shi is nearby!"
She quickly washed her hands and took out her phone to check the screen.
Gu Shi didn't say he was coming to see her. Could it be that he just happened to be here for work? After all, this place isn't actually that far from his company.
She didn't bother with it anymore.
After the siblings left the clinic, Yu Yu and his students didn't even bother to eat lunch, wanting to analyze their problems thoroughly.
After all, both the siblings are very attractive and have a great presence, which makes it easy for others to get close to them. Their personalities are probably influenced by their family of origin.
Yu Yu did not participate in the discussion. Just as he was about to leave, he saw a tall and upright figure walk in.
"Excuse me, who are you...?"
"Professor Yu," Gu Shi began, "I am Qi An'an's boyfriend, Gu Shi."
——
Qi An'an had no idea that simply filling out a few test questionnaires would attract so much attention.
She returned to the Qi family home and received a message from Gu Shi on her phone.
She had just told Gu Shi about accompanying Qi Ning to see a psychologist, and he only replied with an "Mm".
Well, since she's not in a rush to meet the deadline, let's keep this distance for now.
Besides, Qi Dong doesn't let her go out much anymore.
If she disobeys him again, she might anger him to death.
Xiao Hei paced anxiously, "An'an, this won't do! We need to get back to Gu Shi's side quickly so we can complete the mission!"
Qi An'an slapped it away without any mercy.
Zeng Xiaoxia called her and said that the person who sponsored her medical expenses for those six months was abroad, but her name was unknown.
Even a fool could figure it out – it must be Gu Shi.
After her parents decided to give up on her, Gu Shi appeared in time and took on the medical expenses.
He must have been keeping an eye on her.
His feelings for her were so profound that even she was shocked.
Qi An'an touched her face, "Being good-looking really is amazing."
Xiao Hei: "..."
Qi An'an said, "We came and went in a hurry last time and didn't get to know this world properly. Now we can't rush things. Let's take it slow."
She knew that when her colleagues left the mission world, they almost always left behind a data entity to replace them. That way, they could continue to observe the world through the data entity and go back to make corrections if something went wrong.
Using the method of feigning death is extremely reckless.
Qi An'an now knows she regrets it.
She continued, "Moreover, I think that no matter how well I do the task, the points I get in the end might still be deducted. I reasonably suspect that the people in the Quick Transmigration Bureau are all heartless."
They just exploit newcomers like her.
Just thinking about it makes Xiao Hei tremble; it almost got recycled and deleted.
Who would have thought that An An's escaped death would leave such a huge hidden danger? Isn't it normal for newcomers to make mistakes?
For some reason, Xiao Hei always felt that An An's task was difficult...
——
After winter sets in, the air in Fuzhou becomes cold and damp.
To help Qi An'an recover quickly, the family's housekeeper prepared a variety of delicious meals for her.
Qi An'an visibly gained weight, and even Qi Ning, who ate dinner with her every day, looked healthier.
That afternoon, after a rain shower, Luna came to find Qi An'an carrying two bags.
"President Qi said there's a dinner party later and he wants you to come along."
Where is it?
"Thousand Moon Club".
Luna thought the other person would refuse, but instead heard her reply, "Okay, I'll put on some makeup."
Luna looked up at the figure getting up from the sofa. "Do you need any help?"
"No need, you can have a cup of tea here, I'll be down soon."
After saying that, Qi An'an turned around and went upstairs.
“…Okay.” Luna kept watching her back, feeling shocked. The last time she saw this young lady, she only thought she was sickly, but she didn’t expect her to have recovered so well now.
She was truly radiant.
No man can escape her gaze.
Half an hour later, Qi An'an came downstairs wearing the dress Luna had brought.
She wasn't wearing high heels, afraid she would fall.
Qianyue Club opened just two years ago and caters specifically to the upper class.
It was invested by Gu Shi.
Qi Dong is having dinner with someone here, and he even brought her along... It's obvious what he's up to.
Magnolia Room.
Luna pushed the door open, and Qi An'an walked in. She saw a young man dressed in a British style stand up and greet her, "An'an."
This looks like a matchmaking event.
Xiao Hei: "That's Martin. He used to be one of your cronies. On Qingfeng Mountain, he kicked Gu Shi."
Qi An'an: "..."
She looked at the other person and asked, "Martin?"
"Yes!" The other person nodded.
Martin's father's surname is Ma and his mother's surname is Ding.
The Ma family were nouveau riche, and Martin had always gotten along very well with Jin Tianyu, essentially acting as his lackey.
Besides Qi Dong, Ma's father was also in the private room. He was older than Qi Dong, with gray hair and a greasy face, giving off a feeling of a smile hiding a knife.
"An'an, this is your Uncle Ma," Qi Dong introduced with a smile.
Hello, Uncle Ma.
"And Martin, he's two years older than you and just came back from abroad, but you two knew each other before, you're quite destined to meet."
Martin chimed in, his voice fervent, "I only came back after receiving a call from Tianyu. An'an, it's so good that you're alright. You've created a miracle, haven't you?"
Mr. Ma just smiled as he watched his son's eyes practically glued to the girls.
Such a beautiful daughter-in-law, if the son likes her, he can marry her.
The Ma family doesn't require a marriage of equal social standing, and besides, even if Qidong goes bankrupt in the future, it won't affect him.
After Qi An'an sat down, she casually took a picture of the private room and sent it to Gu Shi.
Little Black floated out with a face full of question marks, "An'an, will he be angry?"
Qi Anan thought to herself: Maybe.
But she felt pretty sure she would see him later.
——
Jiang Ming followed Gu Shi out of the elevator. "No, what's the rush? Didn't you also get off work very late yesterday?"
Gu Shi remained silent, so Jiang Ming answered his own question, "Oh right, your girlfriend went on a blind date tonight? At Qian Yue Club, right? Hehe."
Gu Shi then glanced at him and said, "Don't provoke me at a time like this."
"Okay, okay." Jiang Ming immediately changed his tune. "I just made plans to have dinner with my sister, let's go together."
As soon as Jiang Ming got into Gu Shi's car, he received a message from Jiang Si.
Little Ginger: Bro!!!
Little Ginger: Isn't this Qi An'an?! She cheated on Gu Shi!
Shredded ginger: [Image]
Jiang Ming opened the photo and saw Qi An'an walking in the corridor with a tall man. The man's eyes were full of affection, and he was clearly infatuated with the person in front of him.
Qi An'an wore a black strapless long dress with a fragrant jacket draped over her shoulders. Her long hair was casually tied up, and her delicate features and fair skin were stunning.
Even a casually taken photo has a strong sense of atmosphere.
Jiang Ming stared at the particularly obstructive Martin with piercing eyes, shook his head and said, "Do you think Qi Dong really has his eye on the Ma family, or is he trying to force you to step in?"
Gu Shi also looked at the photo.
She complains about the temperature dropping and how cold it is every day, but today she's dressed so lightly. Luckily, it's warm inside the club, otherwise she would definitely get sick.
When he noticed the man's face, he recalled some unpleasant images and suddenly slammed on the gas pedal.
Startled, Jiang Ming gripped his seatbelt tightly. "Damn it, are you crazy?!"
Seeing Gu Shi's inscrutable expression, he continued, "I don't think you need to be angry. Qi An'an had no choice in the matter. I don't think she likes this guy. You can see that I can fit in between them."
"Say less, it's too noisy."
"..." Jiang Ming glanced at his phone, "Who are you chatting with? Do you have new friends? Why do you have new friends? Will you reply to their messages? Or are they from Qi An'an? You don't even reply to her messages?"
Gu Shi: "...Shut up."
Jiang Ming became his partner entirely because of his thick skin and incessant chatter.
Thousand Moon Club.
Qi An'an immediately noticed the suspicious figure behind her.
"What's wrong?" Martin looked back.
"It's like seeing someone I know."
"Should we say hello first?"
Qi An'an looked away. "No need, we're not that close."
"Mmm." Martin, still somewhat uneasy, smelled the faint fragrance emanating from her in the air.
You should know that Qi An'an was his white moonlight.
The first time Jin Tianyu brought her out, he was captivated by her smile.
Unfortunately, Jin Tianyu had a crush on her at that time, so he didn't dare to compete with him.
In addition, Qi An'an was madly in love with a boy at the time, so he naturally hid all his feelings.
Martin's gaze became intensely fixed on her.
"An'an, my dad and Uncle Qi's intentions are very clear: are you willing to marry me? We can settle abroad..."
Before he could finish speaking, an angry shout rang out—
"Martin!"
"Tianyu?" Martin felt inexplicably guilty when he saw him. "What are you doing here?"
Jin Tianyu strode over, his eyes fixed on him. "Shouldn't I be asking you that? What are you doing?"
“I…” Martin glanced at Qi An’an and explained, “Didn’t you see? My family plans to arrange a marriage between me and An’an.”
"A marriage alliance?" Jin Tianyu sneered. "You think you're worthy?"
Martin's expression changed upon hearing this. "Jin Tianyu, what do you mean?" "You know what I mean."
"Then tell me why I'm not good enough? Actually, you're the one who's not good enough. You don't actually think you're so devoted, do you? While An'an was in a coma, weren't you in a hurry to get married?"
"Martin, shut the fuck up!"
Qi An'an: "..."
This was a situation she hadn't anticipated.
She couldn't help but try to mediate, "Um... you two stop arguing."
Jin Tianyu turned to her, his voice softening, "An'an, wait here, I'll talk to Martin."
Martin, blushing, said, "An'an, I'll come back to find you later."
Qi An'an: "Oh, okay."
So, Qi An'an stood alone by the fountain, watching the two men leave, each pulling on the other's collar.
Xiao Hei: "?"
Jiang Si, hidden in the shadows: "..."
Seriously, do these men have no brain problems?
Not a single one of them is any good!
Is Qi An'an really going to marry that fake gentleman?
What about Gu Shi?!
Actually, Qi An'an and Gu Shi are quite a good match...
Compared to the previous two.
Qi An'an looked left and right, walked around the fountain, and found Jin Tianyu and Martin.
The two continued arguing fiercely, grabbing each other's collars, neither willing to give in.
"Jin Tianyu, when we were brothers, I knew you liked An'an, but I never showed it. Now that you're married, can't I pursue my own happiness?"
"You're talking nonsense. You've had a lot of fun abroad, do you want me to go over it with you again? An'an and you, it's impossible."
"Who doesn't have a past? I'm a normal man nearing thirty! You hadn't slept with any women before you got married?!"
"Martin, Jin Tianyu, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea?"
A woman's voice choked them both.
The two had been undermining each other, and neither expected Qi An'an to suddenly lean in.
When they saw her now, and remembered their careless words from earlier, they were speechless and felt utterly humiliated.
Enraged, Jin Tianyu punched Martin in the face with a cracking sound!
"Get the fuck out of here!"
"Fuck you! Jin Tianyu, I'm not done with you yet!"
Qi An'an: Why are they fighting??
When Gu Shi and Jiang Ming arrived, they saw the two of them wrestling. Qi An'an stood there dumbly beside them, not even afraid that the fists and kicks would hurt her.
"Brother, let me tell you, those two guys are no good. One's been playing around with women overseas, and the other's married. They both keep saying they love Qi An'an, but I think they're just after her! Let them hit her! I've already called the police!"
Jiang Si emerged from the corner and recounted the information she had just obtained.
Jiang Ming smiled and patted her head, praising, "My sister must be very good at being an undercover agent."
Jiang Si: "That's right!"
More and more people were alerted and came over, but the two were fighting so fiercely that no one dared to step forward to stop them.
The brother and sister both looked at Gu Shi.
Gu Shi did not rush forward as they expected.
He stood in the shadows, quietly watching in Qi An'an's direction.
The two men made a fool of themselves in front of her, but she didn't seem to be affected much.
She's like a camera, recording everything, but without any emotion.
Gu Shi strode toward Qi An'an, took her hand, and led her away from the chaos.
What are you standing there for?
When Qi An'an saw him, she quickened her pace and clasped his hand in hers. "Gu Shi, you're here too. I just saw Jiang Si."
Once you're away from the fountain, the noise subsides, and next to you is a low, elegant bamboo grove, bathed in the dim glow of streetlights.
Gu Shi stopped, and Qi An'an stopped beside him.
He looked down at her. "A blind date?"
Qi An'an shook her head and said truthfully, "No, but my dad does have the idea of arranging a marriage between me and Martin."
Gu Shi cupped her face in his hands, as if examining something, his deep eyes clearly reflecting her features.
His fingertips caressed the skin on her cheek, leaving a tingling sensation.
His words gave her the illusion of being looked back at from an abyss, a chill ran through her heart, and she felt that he could see through everything.
"What's wrong?" she asked cautiously.
He doesn't seem angry or jealous.
She noticed that Xiao Hei was not there.
Why isn't Xiao Hei here?
There's no system that's unsuitable right now!
"Look where?" Gu Shi suddenly asked, glancing to the side as she did.
Qi An'an: "...Mosquitoes."
Every expression of hers was clearly seen by Gu Shi.
During this period, he thoroughly investigated all her records from childhood to adulthood.
Before she met him, she treated everyone equally and was positive and cheerful. After she met him, she gave all her affection to him.
Her concern for him was reflected in her eyes.
In her eyes, he was different from everyone else.
When she loved him, or when she hated him, her emotions were genuine. Apart from him, she seemed indifferent to everything else.
She loved him passionately, then dumped him, and now she's loving him again. What's next?
Once you get it, do you have to discard it?
