Qi Shengzhi opened his eyes abruptly upon hearing this, his eyes burning with anger without a trace of drunkenness in them.
"Have you decided?!"
Qi Mingyuan saw that Qi Shengzhi finally responded, and a smug look appeared on his face:
"Yes, you heard me right, I've decided."
"Do you think I can't do anything to you if you don't show up? Don't forget that you are still registered in my Qi family's household registration book. I still have the final say in this family!"
When something like this happens during a blind date, of course it has to be dealt with as soon as possible. The longer it is delayed, the more the Yue family will think that the Qi family is insincere. If it is delayed to the end, a good thing will turn into a bad thing, and a win-win marriage will turn into an enmity!
Unable to find Qi Shengzhi, Qi Mingyuan, who was always ruthless in the business world, went to Yue Jialiang's house in person to apologize, and brought with him a generous betrothal gift list as well as Qi Shengzhi's birth date and household registration book.
What Qi Mingyuan did not expect was that the matter was resolved surprisingly smoothly.
The Yue family agreed to his request for a marriage between the two families almost immediately, and handed Yue Feiying's birth date and horoscope to Qi Mingyuan on the same day, completing the exchange of birth dates between the two parties.
In addition, the two parties also agreed to have a mutual friend serve as a witness, who would write the marriage certificate and sign it as a testimony.
When Qi Mingyuan left Yue Mansion, he still felt that today's success was unbelievable.
But he thought about it again and felt that it was understandable.
After all, Yue Feiying is a girl. If such a "scandal" is caused in public, even if the Yue family issues a gag order, it is inevitable that someone will leak the news, which will cause great damage to Yue Feiying's reputation. For Yue Jialiang, who is eager to protect his daughter, it is of course better to finalize the marriage as soon as possible.
Qi Shengzhi laughed in anger after hearing this. After a few seconds of silence, he sneered again:
"Okay, no problem. Since you decided it, you can marry her yourself!"
After he said this, he stood up and walked out of the study without caring about Qi Mingyuan's reaction.
"etc!"
Facing Qi Mingyuan's angry voice behind him, Qi Shengzhi kept walking, ignoring him.
"Ding Xuefeng, Lin Tianlu, Zhai Xinghuo..."
Unexpectedly, Qi Mingyuan suddenly called out the names one after another. Qi Shengzhi, who had originally been disdainful, suddenly had his pupils shrink, clenched his fists, and stopped abruptly.
He turned around with an angry look on his face, gritting his teeth.
"What do you want to do?!"
Qi Mingyuan saw Qi Shengzhi finally put away his usual nonchalant expression, and a trace of comfort passed through his heart, but his face showed a smug look as if he had won.
"I should be the one asking you, what did you do hanging out with these people?"
It was rare to see Qi Shengzhi's frustrated expression, and Qi Mingyuan felt particularly happy. His son was smart, but he refused to use his brain in the right way. It was hard for him to worry about him at his old age.
"How many people do you think you can hide from your little tricks? If I hadn't been behind the scenes helping you, every one of you would have been shot long ago!"
Qi Mingyuan was not trying to scare him. Not to mention how serious the situation was in the past two years, even in such a turbulent social environment this year, he would not be able to escape serious punishment if he was caught.
Qi Shengzhi couldn't hide his shock. He had always thought that the business he and his brothers were secretly doing was well hidden, but he didn't expect that Qi Mingyuan had already seen through it and even solved their problems without his knowledge...
His mood was a bit complicated at the moment. He was angry and embarrassed for being seen through, but he also felt a long-lost warmth because of Qi Mingyuan's protection.
But then that trace of warmth was dissipated by Qi Mingyuan's next words:
"I'm not going to settle the score with you. If you don't agree to the marriage with the Yue family this time, don't blame me for reporting all the 'good deeds' your good brothers have done recently to the police station."
Qi Shengzhi's eyes suddenly turned red, and he took a big step forward:
"If you have the guts, come at me and send me to jail. Don't touch my brother!"
The more excited Qi Shengzhi was, the calmer Qi Mingyuan became.
He showed a smile of control over his situation, and said calmly:
"I wouldn't send anyone to jail, but you. If you go to jail, wouldn't it be a disgrace to our Qi family?"
"Today, Daddy will teach you one more lesson: hit the snake at its weakest point. Your so-called brother is now your weakest point!"
......
At the same time, in the living room on the first floor of Yue Mansion, Yue Feiying's nanny was waiting for Yue Jialiang to ask questions.
"Has the young lady had dinner yet?"
Yue Jialiang had a frown on his face, not at all as calm and composed as he seemed in front of outsiders.
The nanny also looked worried:
"She ate it. At first she wanted seafood wontons, then she specified egg fried rice topped with braised beef. She just asked for a bowl of white fungus soup and told me to bring her a glass of hot milk at nine o'clock in the evening..."
The more Yue Jialiang listened, the tighter his brows furrowed:
"She ate all of this...?"
Seeing the nanny nod, Yue Jialiang felt more and more uneasy.
His beloved daughter has been a picky eater since she was young. After returning to China, she complained every day that she couldn't get used to the food in China. When had she ever eaten like she did today?
Did he really do something wrong this time, putting too much pressure on his daughter, causing her to overeat and give up on herself because she couldn't bear the pressure?
But... he had to arrange this marriage for his daughter, not just because of what happened at the banquet, but also because...
Thinking of this, Yue Jialiang could no longer sit still. He stood up and went upstairs to Yue Feiying's room door and knocked gently:
"Yingying, it's me, Dad. Can I come in and talk to you?"
Yue Feiying, who was concentrating on packing in the room, was startled and quickly found a place to hide the things at hand. Then he leaned against the door and answered in the tone of the original owner in his memory:
"No! I hate you. You can't lock me up and restrict my freedom!"
Hearing his precious daughter accusing him, Yue Jialiang felt guilty and distressed:
"But you've really gone too far this time. I've already agreed to your request and invited Captain Lu to the banquet. How could you do something so absurd as to drug someone's wine?"
"You know, if the news of drugging an active-duty officer gets out, even your father won't be able to protect you!"
"Yingying, Daddy admires your courage in pursuing the person you like, but you also have to be careful about the methods. You can't be as willful as before."
Yue Feiying had already known about this situation from the original owner's memories, but she was not interested in growing up to be as cool and handsome as Lu Zhan. Instead, she missed the young man with a pair of peach blossom eyes who was sweet when kissing. That was her type.
She guessed that Yue Jialiang was locking her up now because he was afraid that she would go out and bother Lu Zhan again, causing even greater trouble. She had to dispel Yue Jialiang's concerns before she could regain her freedom.
"I've already explained it to you. It was all a misunderstanding. I don't like Captain Lu at all. The drugging incident... was a complete misunderstanding. As long as you agree to let me go, I can go and apologize to him!"
