After dumping the poor tycoon, 24
Jiang Meiyue's place is a Western restaurant.
She hadn't seen Qi Ning for a long time, and with a distance between them, she couldn't pretend to be very close.
Qi Ning treated her with the same indifferent attitude as before, and occasionally spoke like a shy child, which made it easy for her to win his favor.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Mei thought of his situation and felt bad.
She had never met Wen Ci, but the information she gathered indicated that the woman was extreme and ruthless, had mental problems, and was prone to violence.
Jiang Mei wanted to raise Qi Ning as her own son, but subconsciously she couldn't treat him equally and couldn't get close to him.
Qi Ning has faced a distorted world since childhood—an adoptive mother with no blood relation, a biological mother with whom she can only meet secretly, and Qi Dong, a two-faced man who never tells the truth. He must not have had a good life over the years either.
"A-Ning, drink more soup, it's good for replenishing your blood," Jiang Mei said.
Qi Ning looked up and smiled slightly, "Yes, thank you, Mom."
Jiang Mei's eyes stung when she heard the word "Mom".
Only after the family fell apart did she realize how important it is for the whole family to be together.
She turned to Qi An'an, "An'an, you drink too."
“Okay…” In fact, Qi An’an’s mouth never stopped.
Qi Ning was quietly adding her favorite juice to her drink.
Jiang Mei watched his movements and suddenly murmured, "A Ning, forget what I told you before. You deserve a freer life."
She always reminded Qi Ning that An'an was the eldest daughter and the heir of the Qi family, and that as her younger brother, he had to protect her and help her...
Actually, she was afraid that he would fight with An'an for the family property.
Qi Ning's expression remained unchanged, and she obediently replied, "Okay."
Although he had a smile on his lips, Jiang Mei always felt that he seemed to have no soul.
What did your mother say to you?
Qi An'an was drawn to the topic and turned to look at Qi Ning.
Jiang Mei looked slightly embarrassed, while Qi Ning simply replied softly, "Mom said that my sister and I are the closest people in the world, so I should be good to my sister."
Qi An'an clicked her tongue, "Then what kind of freedom do you want?"
Jiang Mei: "..."
Qi Ning chuckled, "That's right, what freedom do I need? I don't want to leave my sister."
Watching the interaction between the siblings, Jiang Mei's conflicted thoughts were completely relieved at that moment.
“An’an has grown up too,” she said with emotion.
The relationship between the siblings had become much closer than she remembered, especially An'an, whose transformation was very obvious, after all, she had just escaped death.
Soon, a photo of the three of them sitting in the private room was sent to Wen Ci's phone.
Wen Ci stared intently at the two women in the photo, her anger and panic making her ashen face even more contorted.
The son she had painstakingly raised was like a sick cat with its claws worn down in front of that mother and daughter!
It would have been better if Qi An'an had died, but not only did she wake up from her coma, she also joined the Qi Group!
This is something Wenci absolutely cannot tolerate!
The Qi family, the Qi Group, can only belong to her son.
Otherwise, what would all her years of dedication and hard work amount to?!
Wen Ci raised her phone high, as if to smash it in frustration, but she restrained herself and slowly dialed Qi Ning's number.
After the call connected, she spoke softly, "A-Ning, how's your wound? It's all my fault for making you suffer. Can you come over now...? I want to see you..."
Her voice was extremely sorrowful and pitiful, but her face showed no warmth whatsoever.
Qi Ning paused for a moment, then replied, "Okay, I'll be right there."
At that time, Qi Ning's car had just returned to the company.
Qi An'an looked at him and asked, "Is your mother looking for you?"
Qi Ning nodded, the light in her eyes extinguished. "I'll go take a look."
Qi An'an wasn't very supportive. "Can't we not go?"
To prevent him from coming back covered in injuries.
Qi Ning said, "No, she'll hurt herself if she can't see me."
"..." Qi An'an glanced at her phone and said, "I'll go with you."
She couldn't understand his thinking, but she still wanted to resolve Wen Ci's matter.
Ever since she joined the Qi family, she has had the feeling of being targeted by a venomous snake.
The feeling was particularly strong while we were eating. Xiao Hei also detected the most direct malice; she was being followed.
After thinking it over, Wen Ci is the most likely candidate.
Moreover, Qi Ning had previously mentioned that Wen Ci might be related to his car accident five years ago.
Qi Ning nodded.
Watching her fasten her seatbelt again, he said, as if joking, "Sister, do you think I'm pathetic, that's why you're willing to spend time on me?"
"It's pitiful, but more than that, I feel like I don't understand you at all, so I want to learn more about you."
"Aren't you afraid I'll fight you for your inheritance?"
"I think you'd rather the Qi family go bankrupt."
Qi Ning was taken aback and suddenly fell silent, because he hadn't expected her to see through his thoughts.
Qi An'an looked ahead and slowly asked, "How many projects did you secretly sabotage?"
Although Xiao Hei's abilities were restricted, its information processing capabilities were still very strong. Based on the information it had access to about the Qi Group, it singled out Qi Ning.
Qi Ning may not hate Qi Dong, but he certainly harbors deep resentment and wants to see the Qi family go bankrupt.
“I forgot, but the one my sister was in charge of… I was the one who instigated the deceased’s family to cause trouble, and I also deliberately exposed the chaotic state of the project’s management to the investors.” Qi Ning said honestly, her tone was very soft, but her usual smile was gone, and her jawline was taut.
He glanced cautiously at his sister's expression, then quickly looked away and gripped the steering wheel tightly.
"You're certainly being honest." Qi An'an was completely exasperated. "I'll give you a chance to make amends. Just do a good job from now on, okay?"
She knew that Qi Ning didn't care about the Qi family, the Qi Group, or even anyone else, but it seemed that he only listened to her.
Qi Ning nodded, "Okay."
He looked like a diligent and obedient model youth.
He stroked the steering wheel, feeling something soft and warm growing in his chest, making him feel as if he were soaking in warm water, very comfortable.
He clearly did something wrong in the eyes of the world, but he wasn't scolded for it. Could it be considered that my sister is... protecting him, favoring him?
Moreover, my sister is really amazing. She guessed he was up to something as soon as she got involved in the group's affairs.
But he didn't actually do anything; he just exposed the corrupt and chaotic state of the Qi Group.
The vehicle drove along the road, gradually moving away from the city center.
Qi An'an suggested, "If you don't like staying by Dad's side, then start your own business. I believe you can do it."
Qi Ning: "Wherever my sister is, that's where I'll be."
"...But your father isn't good to you."
Qi Ning remained silent for a long time before slowly replying, "A few months ago, my sister had a lung infection and underwent major surgery. My parents were going through a divorce, and no one cared about my sister. At that time, I was thinking that whether someone is biological or not, whether they are dead or alive, it doesn't seem to matter. My father was not good to me, but didn't he still abandon my sister?"
What he didn't say was that during her surgery, he cut his own wrist with a knife, wondering who would die first, him or his sister.
Of course, the final result was quite good.
He glanced to the side and met Qi An'an's gaze.
Qi An'an was concerned about, "My parents don't care about me, yet you know so much about me and secretly came to see me?"
Qi Ning's eyes flickered slightly, and she became somewhat embarrassed. After a while, she whispered, "Isn't it right for me to go see my sister?"
The day he heard that his sister had woken up, he rushed over in the night and met Gu Shi, who was travel-worn.
However, that was not the first time he had seen him at the sanatorium.
He knew Gu Shi. A poor student, not too obsessed with money, and more inclined towards the temperament of an artist, yet Gu Shi ultimately embarked on a path of frantically expanding capital.
The reason for this is because of my older sister.
"An'an, the malicious intent level of the driver behind us has exceeded the limit."
Xiao Hei's sudden warning sound made Qi An'an's eyelids twitch slightly.
She looked away from her phone screen and glanced out the car window as if by accident.
Yunxiao Sanatorium is located in the suburbs, and there are hardly any people in the area they are passing through.
Apart from the wasteland, there were only closed factory buildings.
Behind their car, two other vehicles followed at a leisurely pace.
Qi Ning also sensed something, and when she looked in the rearview mirror, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
He wasn't surprised.
He had been waiting for this day.
but……
He looked at his sister, who seemed completely unaware of the impending danger and appeared relaxed, and found it difficult to remain calm.
——
At the Thousand Moon Club, fresh and delicate flowers had already spread out on the lakeside lawn. Jiang Ming walked up to Gu Shi and teased, "You're not going to dump Qi An'an later, are you?"
Gu Shi put away her phone and glanced at him.
Jiang Ming immediately backed down, "Hehe, just kidding."
Qi An'an is a very cute and pretty girl; if it were him, he wouldn't be willing to let her go either.
However, in his eyes, Gu Shi has always been a person with a strong sense of self-esteem and is very sensitive. Five years ago, Gu Shi was ruthlessly dumped by Qi An'an, and it is said that she even sent people to humiliate him... It is not easy for Gu Shi to let go of his resentment.
Gu Shi had no interest in dealing with Jiang Ming and politely asked him to leave, "Shouldn't you have a dinner appointment?"
"It's fine if you don't go. I just wanted to join in the fun." Jiang Ming said, looking at the grand scene. "People who don't know better might think you're going to propose."
Gu Shi looked around and asked, "Will she like it?"
Jiang Ming found his attitude strange.
Even he has moments of insecurity.
"No girl would dislike it, right?"
Gu Shi said, "She's different from other girls."
Jiang Ming rolled his eyes inwardly: "Oh."
Anyway, every man who falls in love will say this.
He looked at the gloomy, low-hanging sky and muttered, "I hope it doesn't rain later, otherwise your good intentions will be ruined?"
The wind by the lake was a bit damp, and it brushed coolly against his face. Gu Shijun's expression turned slightly cold; he didn't like the cold and damp weather of early winter either.
Gu Shi didn't have time to pay attention to Jiang Ming. He looked down at his phone and repeatedly looked at the message he had sent five minutes earlier.
She said she was on her way back to the company, and then I heard from her again.
He frowned and dialed her number.
There was no answer on the other end. Gu Shi was about to dial again with a sullen face when he received a call.
A tense male voice came from the other end of the line, "Mr. Gu, something terrible has happened! Miss An'an has been in a car accident!"
