Chapter 3: Don't Let Yourself Suffer a Loss
Yu Li casually said, "As long as it's not that green tea bitch Qi Jianhuan, it doesn't matter who it is."
Qi Xi clapped her hands. "Darling, guess again, why is Qi Jianhuan's surname Qi?"
There are plenty of people with the surname Qi in the world. When the Qi family came to her door, Yu Li never even considered that possibility.
I only heard about it from colleagues when I was at the TV station.
It is said that Qi Jianhuan is dressed in designer brands and drives a luxury car. Her family is said to be very wealthy, making her a true heiress of a rich family.
She also said that she is very low-key and never flaunts her family background.
But Yu Li thought to herself, if she really wanted to be low-key, she would wear affordable clothes and would not always drive luxury cars, as if she was afraid that others would not be able to tell that she came from a wealthy family.
Yu Li gasped, "So that's why I don't get along with Qi Jianhuan. It turns out there was a reason for everything."
"She took over your family, stole your life, she's a thief, what a real heiress! Pah! She's not even worth a finger of my best friend!"
But Qi Xi held Yu Li's arm and said, "As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. If I could do it all over again, I would still choose this kind of life, because without the exchange, I would never have met Li Li."
"That's even more impossible. We've been together since we were little, never apart. No one, not even family or anything else, is as important as Lili!"
Qi Xi leaned on Yu Li's shoulder, her eyes reddening as she spoke.
This is true, and it's no exaggeration to say that without Yu Li's protection since childhood, Qi Xi would not be alive today.
But their childhood friendship made Yu Li immediately sense something was off about Qi Xi's tone.
"What's wrong, Xixi? Was it unpleasant during the family recognition this morning?"
"Don't keep anything to yourself. If you've been wronged, tell me. A black belt in Taekwondo isn't something you get for nothing."
Just as Yu Li was about to show off her still-sharp skills, Qi Xi quickly stopped her, amused, and said, "My dear, you'd better behave yourself. You're not alone anymore."
"Actually, I was already prepared when I went there. Although I am related to them by blood, I am not the one who has lived with them for 25 years."
"They didn't want Qi Jianhuan to go back to her real home and suffer, so they just claimed to the outside world that I was their daughter who had been lost for many years and that I was Qi Jianhuan's sister."
Upon hearing this, Yu Li's blood pressure spiked.
"I'm so angry! After the children were replaced, instead of trying to make up for the suffering you've endured over the past 25 years, they're afraid that someone who has no blood relation to them will be wronged."
"Are they following the script of those brainless parents from the novel 'True or False Heiress'? I've never seen anyone so clueless about priorities. They only dare to say such things because they think you're too soft-hearted and easy to bully, Xixi!"
Yu Li couldn't stand seeing her best friend being bullied, and she was determined to get justice for her: "No way, we can't swallow this insult! Let's go to the Qi family, I'm going to point my finger at them and give them a good dressing down!"
If we don't give these people a good scolding, their brains must have been soaked in a toilet; they're both stupid and stinking.
Qi Xi chuckled and stopped her, "Lili, don't rush. Although they are reluctant to part with Qi Jianhuan, they haven't treated me badly. Look, they even gave me a card with 30 million in it."
“Lili, didn’t you have your eye on Man Guifang’s 150-square-meter apartment for a long time? We can buy it outright and bring Grandma over so the whole family can live together. Wouldn’t that be great?”
The two sisters had planned together to work hard and earn money to buy a big house, not necessarily a large one, just three bedrooms would be fine.
Yu Li, Qi Xi, and Grandma Zhou live together as a family of three.
"Besides, even if we're going to settle scores, we should wait until your pregnancy is more stable. Otherwise, if you end up fighting instead of winning the argument, wouldn't you be at a disadvantage, Lili?"
Yu Li immediately objected: "How can I be at a disadvantage in a fight? I've never been at a disadvantage in a fight since I was a child. Okay, okay, baby, look, Mommy is even swallowing her pride for you."
After finally calming Yu Li down, Qi Xi remembered something else.
"By the way, Lili, you're married now, so does that mean you won't be living with me and Grandma anymore, but with your husband instead?"
Yu Li waved her hand, "Our relationship is just a fake one. We're only together because of the child. We don't have any feelings for each other. The only reason I agreed to marry him is because I don't want my baby to be born without a father."
"Besides, he is the child's father, so he should bear the responsibility of raising the child. Apart from paying for it, it doesn't matter whether he has a husband or not."
Qi Xi was relieved to learn that Yu Li wasn't love-struck.
With their cards in hand and their car in hand, the two sisters rushed off to buy a house.
Yu Li is now a wealthy person, but she is not quite the same as Qi Xi.
Qi Xi received compensation from her biological parents, so she could spend it freely without any burden.
Although there is no limit to the value of her card, the cardholder is still Qi Chenyan.
Buying a house is a huge expense. If Yu Li herself, even if she had the money, were to spend over a million without knowing the details, she would definitely feel heartbroken.
Yu Li originally wanted to send a WeChat message to ask, but when she checked, she found that the two of them hadn't added each other on WeChat at all.
These are truly the most familiar strangers; it's probably one of a kind that a couple has reached this level of commitment.
Fortunately, they had Qi Chenyan's phone number.
*
Qi Chenyan had just gotten off the plane when his private car had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Director Qi, welcome, welcome!"
A group of leaders lined up to greet him, displaying utmost respect and demonstrating their high regard for China.
Qi Chenyan shook hands with each of them and got into the car.
My phone vibrated.
[Hi, it's Yu Li! Have you gotten off the plane yet? I need to tell you something. My best friend and I are thinking of buying a house, splitting the cost equally. I'll swipe your card first, and I'll definitely pay you back later, okay?]
Qi Chenyan first frowned, then chuckled and sighed.
The secretary standing to the side was seeing her leader playing on his phone instead of looking at documents while on a foreign visit for the first time.
To be precise, it was typing.
Who has such influence that the director would personally type out a reply?
It should be noted that the director is usually very busy with official duties, and he would never type anything if he could speak it.
After a while, Qi Chenyan put down his phone, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.
"Xiao Chen, I remember you have a girlfriend?"
When suddenly asked about her private life by her boss, the secretary immediately straightened her back and said righteously, "Director, my relationship with my girlfriend has always been very stable. She is my first love, and we plan to get engaged this year."
He absolutely does not have an immoral private life!
"Just chatting casually, how do you and your girlfriend usually get along? Before she spends money, does she ask you first in a distant manner, and afterwards does she still want to calculate how much money she spent and pay you back?"
