As the workday was drawing to a close, Yue Feiying continued to ask Shao Jingque:
"You really don't want to come back to Yue's house with me for dinner? Today's all about the delicious food!"
Shao Jingque felt a tightness in her chest just imagining it. She suppressed the churning in her stomach and nodded heavily:
"I really don't want to go. You go by yourself. I don't have much appetite. I just want to go back and lie down and rest."
Yue Feiying looked at Shao Jingque's pale face, her eyes full of worry:
"Then I won't go either! You don't look well. What if you feel unwell and need to go to the hospital?"
Shao Jingque pointed at Ding Ling and said:
"It's not like there's no one at home. Isn't Ding Ling here? And I'm not feeling unwell, I'm just a little tired. I want to lie down and rest early."
"Besides, today is 'your dad's' birthday. How can you, as his daughter, not go back? Hurry up and go! Qi Shengzhi is already waiting outside!"
She had seen Qi Shengzhi's car parked at the door for quite some time.
Yue Feiying looked troubled, and touched her hand again, which was not cold. Then he turned to Ding Ling and said:
"Then I'll trouble you to pack up the store today and go home to accompany your sister Jingque later. If there is anything, call Yue Mansion and I will come back immediately."
Ding Ling nodded sensibly:
"Master, don't worry. I will take good care of Sister Jingque. When we get home, I'll make her some porridge. It's good for her stomach."
With Ding Ling's words, Yue Feiying finally felt relieved.
Shao Jingque hasn't had much of an appetite these past few days. He keeps saying he has no appetite, and his face looks a little ugly.
Yue Feiying was worried that she might be sick and asked her to go to the hospital, but Shao Jingque always said that it was okay and that she would be fine after a rest. The store was too busy for her to leave, so she kept putting it off until today.
If she hadn't promised Yue Jialiang early in the morning to go back to Yue Mansion to celebrate his birthday with him, she would have insisted on taking Shao Jingque to the hospital.
"Then you must drink the porridge Xiaoling made before going to bed to fill your stomach. Otherwise, sleeping hungry will hurt your stomach even more, and you will feel even worse tomorrow!"
Yue Feiying warned with a worried look on her face. Shao Jingque, who had recovered, smiled and pushed her out:
"Hurry up and leave! If you don't leave, Qi Shengzhi's face will be so dark that it's almost enough to start a fire!"
Yue Feiying glanced out the window and saw Qi Shengzhi sitting in the car with a serious face, lost in thought about something.
She said "huh" disapprovingly:
"I didn't ask him to go back to Yue Mansion with me. He promised Lao Yue to go. It's not my fault."
Having said that, Yue Feiying finally picked up her small bag and walked out of the Fanghua Photo Studio.
After getting in the car, Qi Shengzhi, who was lost in thought, came to his senses and handed her a bowl of rock sugar and pear juice he had bought from Shunji:
"It's so late? I wonder if the sugar water is cold. If it is, go home and heat it up before drinking it."
Yue Feiying heard that Qi Shengzhi's tone did not sound like he was impatient after waiting for a long time, so she took the syrup and took a sip. The carefully brewed syrup was sweet and warm, which made her throat, which had been talking all day, feel much more comfortable.
"It's not cold, just right, and it tastes good."
Seeing that Yue Feiying liked to drink, Qi Shengzhi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, started the car and set off towards Yue Mansion.
Along the way, Yue Feiying slowly drank the sugar water, and her willow-leaf eyes glanced at Qi Shengzhi from time to time - this guy was too quiet today, something must have happened!
After finishing the sugar water, Qi Shengzhi didn't say anything, but just drove very seriously.
He was so quiet today that Yue Feiying was a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help asking:
"Do you have anything to do today? If so, go ahead. I can go back to the old... house by myself."
After hearing Yue Feiying speak, Qi Shengzhi came out of his thoughts and began to explain:
"I don't have anything else to do. I promised Dad that I would go home to spend his birthday with him, so I have arranged everything for today at another time."
Yue Feiying curled her lips:
"Then you looked so distracted. I thought you were thinking about other things!"
Qi Shengzhi hesitated for a few seconds, then said:
"I was thinking about other things just now... When I was leaving, Qi Guangyao came to see me."
When Yue Feiying heard the name, she immediately frowned:
"Qi Guangyao? Didn't your dad say he was hiding in his room and not going out? Why did he come looking for you?"
Qi Shengzhi gave a wry smile:
"He came to me for help, hoping that I could ask Old Man Qi to write a letter of apology to Qu Jingyun."
Yue Feiying widened her eyes after hearing this. Could this man be a fool?
"Doesn't he know that it was you who reported his mother to the police?"
Qi Shengzhi shook his head:
"Based on my understanding of Old Man Qi, perhaps he really won't tell Qi Guangyao about this. After all, deep down in his heart, he probably still hopes that Qi Guangyao and I can 'put aside our differences' and become brothers!"
Hearing the sarcasm in Qi Shengzhi's words, Yue Feiying didn't say much. In her opinion, Qi Shengzhi's younger brother was not a good person either.
"So you rejected him?"
A smile appeared on Qi Shengzhi's lips. He knew that Yue Feiying understood him and would not be a peacemaker like others.
He nodded.
"I suspect he actually knew about Qu Jingyun's poisoning, but he kept it a secret and waited for the results to come."
"Now that Qu Jingyun has been arrested, without the protection of that venomous snake, he has no other choice but to find a way to survive on his own."
"For someone like him who lets Qu Jingyun take care of everything for him, his evil intentions are simply hidden, and his trick of pretending to be pitiful is even worse. He even wants to negotiate terms with me. He's not worthy at all!"
Yue Feiying nodded in agreement. You can't be soft-hearted when dealing with people like this.
"But you said you suspected he knew about Qu Jingyun's poisoning, but he didn't say anything and didn't stop it. He's still living with your father. Isn't your father in danger?"
The smile on Qi Shengzhi's face faded. He no longer wanted to admit that Qi Mingyuan was indeed his father, and he couldn't help but worry about Qi Mingyuan's safety.
In front of Yue Feiying, he didn't want to hide his true emotions anymore, and said in a deep voice:
"Based on my understanding of Old Man Qi, even if the poison was previously committed by Qi Guangyao, I'm afraid Old Man Qi would not be willing to report him to the police and have him arrested."
"So I plan to send him abroad and never let him return to China again. As long as he's far enough away, I won't have to worry about him causing trouble again."
Yue Feiying frowned slightly:
"I'm afraid he won't agree to leave so easily?"
Qi Shengzhi's face was full of confidence:
"It's not his turn to decide whether he wants to or not. If he leaves now, I promise to support him for another three years. If he insists on not leaving, don't blame me for being rude to him!"
Yue Feiying looked at Qi Shengzhi's sudden sharp eyes, and her eyes lit up. This kid is quite handsome when he is ruthless!
"Great job! Do you need my help with going abroad?"
