Chapter 168: Old Stories of the Republic of China 8
After making Mrs. Zhai angry and leaving, and beating up Nie Zhicheng, I finally have some peace and quiet today.
As for whether what happened today would be spread, Qiu Chi didn't care. Even if it was spread, it wouldn't be a big deal because of her bad reputation. There probably wouldn't be many people who would be so foolish as to want to provoke her.
The next day, Qiuchi was relatively quiet.
No one from the Zhai family or the Nie family came to see her.
However, Patriarch Yu came over after hearing about what happened yesterday: "I was wondering why the Nie family had changed their ways and actually returned your money. It turns out you're so powerful that you've taken control of their family's lifeblood."
"Why are you looking for me, you busy person?" Qiu Chi didn't believe that the head of the Yu family was looking for her just to chat.
Patriarch Yu smiled and said, "Nothing much. I just thought it was a bit of a problem for you to stay in a hotel all day. Since you have money, why don't you find a house?"
Qiu Chi simply said: "No preparation."
She won't be staying here for long, so why should she spend money to buy a house?
"Since you're here, let's continue talking about business. Do you have any medicine left? I want to buy some."
The head of the Yu family couldn't help but frown. "Yes, yes, but you already have so much medicine, why do you want to buy more? Are you trying to steal our Yu family's business?"
He said the last sentence half jokingly and half seriously.
Qiu Chi then glanced at him and said, "You're overthinking it. I have my reasons for buying the medicine. Don't meddle in other people's business."
"As long as they don't steal our business."
After Patriarch Yu left, Qiuchi became quiet again.
But now the city of Xuzhou is very lively.
The news that Qiu Chi beat Nie Zhicheng, combined with previous rumors, spread very quickly.
Mr. Nie looked at Nie Zhicheng, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.
Mrs. Nie looked at Nie Zhicheng's injuries and felt heartbroken.
"This Zhai Jiayue, this unlucky star, is too much. We all did everything she said, and she actually dared to hit Zhicheng. I'm going to settle the score with her right now!"
Nie Yaya chimed in, "Exactly. My brother has nothing to do with her now, so what does being with my new sister-in-law have to do with her? Why did she hit my brother? She took so many things from our house and hasn't returned them yet. Bring more people and get all our things back."
Madam Nie doesn't like Qiu Chi, nor does she like Fang Caiyue.
Hearing Nie Yaya talking about Fang Caiyue, she couldn't help but glare at Nie Yaya: "Shut up, I will never agree to Zhicheng marrying her. Fang Caiyue can't escape responsibility for Zhicheng being beaten. She just watched my son get beaten and didn't help. Why would I marry such a woman?"
Nie Yaya curled her lips and said nothing.
Nie Zhicheng also closed his eyes and didn't want to talk. He should have continued to tell Mrs. Nie that he and Fang Caiyue were truly in love and that he must marry Fang Caiyue.
But thinking about what happened when Qiu Chi beat him, he couldn't help but complain about Fang Caiyue. And his mother was right. He was beaten in front of him, why did she just talk but not step forward to stop it?
Nie Zhicheng's mind was in a mess and he didn't want to care what Mrs. Nie said.
Madam Nie looked at Master Nie and said, "Master, it's been several days. Aren't you going to take back all our money and teach that unlucky guy a lesson?"
"Whatever happened to our Zhicheng, I'm going to make her pay double and a hundredfold. If you're not ready to do it, then I'll have to find someone to do it myself!"
Master Nie is very angry now.
He was working hard outside to deal with the recent rumors, and also had to find ways to negotiate cooperation with others, hoping to take back the property and take revenge on Qiu Chi, but his only son was holding him back.
He was helpless with his son, but he was not polite to Madam Nie: "What you should do now is to stay at home honestly and stop giving me things to do! Don't think about doing things on your own every day. If something really happens, don't blame me for not remembering our past friendship.
Zhicheng, you have to take good care of him. He can't go out until his injury is healed, and it's best to cut off contact with Fang Caiyue. If you hadn't failed to take good care of him this time, how could this have happened? "
After all, Mr. Nie is the head of the family. Once he loses his temper, even if Mrs. Nie is unwilling in her heart, she will appear to be obedient.
After scolding Mrs. Nie, Mr. Nie turned away, and Nie Yaya looked aside with her eyes rolling around.
Nie Yaya wanted Fang Caiyue as her sister-in-law because she also wanted to be a new-age woman, break into Fang Caiyue's circle of new-age women, and get to know some new-age youth.
Although Nie Zhicheng could help with these things, didn't she know what kind of person her brother was?
If it weren’t for Fang Caiyue, her brother wouldn’t have taken her out to play at all.
Nie Yaya, who was full of thoughts, went to find Fang Caiyue early the next morning. Her brother was restricted from going out, but she was not restricted.
Fang Caiyue looked a little haggard. When Nie Yaya came, she was holding a lunch box and ready to go out.
Nie Yaya stepped forward and said happily, "Sister-in-law, are you going to send food to my brother? But my brother can't go out, so I can help you send it to him."
Fang Caiyue pulled the corner of her mouth and said gently: "No, this is a thank you gift for someone. Someone worked hard to help me with the things that day, and I am going to give him some snacks. If Yaya is free, you can go with me."
"Okay, then I have to thank him too. I'll buy some snacks on the way."
Fang Caiyue: "...That's not necessary. This is enough for me. Any more will be wasted."
Nie Yaya acted as if she couldn't tell from Fang Caiyue's reluctance and said innocently, "Don't waste it, don't waste it. You've helped me after all, so I should thank you. I just want to try something new. If I can't finish it, I can just throw it away. It's just a thought."
“…Then it’s up to you.”
The person Fang Caiyue wanted to thank was naturally the man who had meddled in her affairs that day.
When she went there, she was actually a little afraid of running into Qiu Chi, but thinking about what Qiu Chi said about not hitting women, and since she had no grudges against her, there was no reason for her to hit her, so she plucked up the courage.
The nosy man hadn't checked out and left yet, so Fang Caiyue's trip was not in vain.
When the man saw Fang Caiyue, he felt pain in his body, but in order to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, he endured it.
"Miss, what's the matter with you coming to see me?"
Fang Caiyue nodded: "Yes, there is something. Can I go in and talk?"
The smile on the man's face froze a little. He wanted to refuse, but after glancing at Qiu Chi's room not far away, he finally took two steps back and said, "Come in and talk."
Nie Yaya followed Fang Caiyue, looking well-behaved, but in fact she was observing the man subtly.
Naturally, all of this did not escape Qiu Chi's eyes.
