Chapter 157 The Knife on Ruan Qi's Head
At the same time as Ruan Qi posted the birthday Weibo, the atmosphere in the living room of Yuyuan Villa was solemn.
Ruan Fengmian, Yang Liu and Nie Beilou sat on the main sofa, with the two elders of the Ruan family and Ruan Munan and Xu Xiangyang sitting on both sides. Opposite them, Xi Jiu sat alone on a chair, calmly accepting everyone's "interrogation".
However, the content of this interrogation was not quite the same as Ruan Qi had imagined, which was "breaking a leg".
"Are you the icy brother in Xiaoqi's dream?" Ruan Fengmian's voice was filled with shock.
Xi Jiu nodded lightly, "I am."
Ruan Fengmian's pupils suddenly constricted and his expression changed slightly.
Just five minutes ago, Ruan Munan told him the origins of Xi Jiu and Ruan Qi——
Xi Jiu is the iceberg brother who keeps appearing in Ruan Qi's nightmares and whom she relies on. He is also the boy who was sunk to the bottom of the lake in order to save her.
At the same time, Ruan Munan also told him that after Xi Jiu was fished out of the bottom of the lake, he remained in a vegetative state in the hospital for two full years.
The overwhelming amount of information shocked Ruan Fengmian greatly. He looked at Xi Jiu, and his eyes gradually became complicated.
He originally thought that this guy was just a bastard who coveted his daughter's beauty, but who knew that he would suddenly become his savior!
Moreover, this savior not only sacrificed his own life to save his daughter, but also remained in a vegetative state for two years for his daughter. He even fell deeply in love with his daughter after waking up and searched for his daughter for a full eight years!
How can he break up this kind of 'I've been searching for you for ten years and I've never changed my mind' scenario?
If he dares to tear it down, his mother will probably be the first one to do it.
Ruan Fengmian had a slight headache.
He was deeply moved by what Xi Jiu had done for Ruan Qi back then, and now, he no longer doubted Xi Jiu's feelings for his daughter.
However, although he was touched, Ruan Fengmian rationally did not want Xi Jiu and Ruan Qi to have too much contact.
——Because the connection between the two of them is too deep.
For so many years, Ruan Qi's subconscious has been immersed in the nightmare of the past. Any factor could cause her to recall the past and lead to a mental breakdown.
As one of the main characters in the incident that year, Xi Jiu is likely to become the key to unlock Ruan Qi's memory.
Ruan Fengmian doesn't want Ruan Qi to recover her memory. This is too cruel for a twenty-year-old girl.
He hoped that his little daughter, whom he held in his hands, would forget those things forever and never come into contact with anyone who was related to those years.
But things went against his wishes. Not only did his daughter meet the cold brother again, she also got together with him!
Ruan Fengmian couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought that Ruan Qi might one day remember that Xi Jiu was the Iceberg Brother and then recover his memories of the past.
He frowned and rubbed his forehead, then turned to look at Yang Liu and asked, "Wife, have you known about this for a long time?"
Yang Liu said "hmm" lazily.
Ruan Fengmian looked at Nie Beilou again.
"Master Beilou, you also..."
"I knew it earlier than Yang Liu."
Nie Beilou took a sip of tea, glanced at him with his narrow phoenix eyes, and said coldly, "I know what you're worried about. You are Xiaoqi's father, and I am Xiaoqi's master. We both don't want her to regain her memories. But some things won't happen just because we don't want them to. It's possible that the Xi family kid could allow Xiaoqi to access those memories, but you can't trap Xiaoqi in a world just because of something that might happen. And..."
He paused, put down the teacup in his hand, and slowly spoke again: "Rather than the Xi family kid, I think you should be more worried about that criminal Jiang Chunian who has escaped. Last month, the Xi family kid mobilized the power of the Eagle Division and found that the beast might be hiding in Country Y. Feng Mian, as long as this Jiang is not dead, Xiao Qi will always have a sword hanging over his head."
"And the Xi family boy is the one most capable of stopping that knife."
