Chapter 185 We Are Not Familiar (Part 2)
Later, Ruan Qi said she had a bloody disaster. I don’t know if it was a coincidence or something, but she really fell down the stairs and is still in a wheelchair!
At this moment, Qin Man saw Ruan Qi, and her calf bones and tailbone began to ache again, and the anger in her heart suddenly burned.
Qin Qingqing, who was standing by, quickly pulled her aside to remind her that Xi Jiu was still there.
Qin Man thought about the purpose of her greeting, gritted her teeth, and turned her eyes away from Ruan Qi.
She looked at Xi Jiu, smiled warmly, and said in an elder's tone, "Xi Jiu, why haven't I seen you come to the Qin family recently? The old man has been in better health these days, and he's been thinking about you every day."
Ruan Qi was not interested in these hypocritical greetings. She lowered her head and focused her attention on the food again.
She glanced at the cream of mushroom soup on the table, picked up a small spoon, scooped some, and licked it tentatively with the tip of her tongue.
The rich aroma of the soup made her let out a small 'wow'.
Xi Jiu had been paying attention to the little girl. When he saw this scene, a smile couldn't help but appear in his eyes.
But the next second, he raised his head and his smile turned into a cold and sharp edge.
"Grandpa's health has indeed improved a lot." He looked at Qin Man expressionlessly and spoke sharply, "This is all thanks to Dr. Ruan. Now that she is here in person, Ms. Qin, as the old man's youngest daughter, shouldn't she thank her?"
The smile on Qin Man's lips froze.
Let her thank this wild doctor from the countryside?
What a joke!
Seeing that Qin Man was about to lose her temper, Qin Qingqing hurriedly called out, "Brother Xi!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xi Jiu's cold and sharp gaze fell on her.
Qin Qingqing's face turned pale with fear. He stammered and changed his words in a low voice: "Xi...Mr.
Xi Jiu withdrew his gaze indifferently and stopped talking.
The mother and daughter of the Qin family stood aside awkwardly like fools.
Ruan Qi drank a few mouthfuls of the thick soup, raised her head, and glanced at the two of them curiously.
Qin Man took advantage of Xi Jiu's inattention and quickly rolled her eyes at her.
Ruan Qi blinked her peach blossom eyes, not understanding her intention at all.
Qin Man punched the cotton, and her tailbone hurt even more in anger.
She forced a smile and said to Xi Jiu in a friendly tone, "Xi Jiu, come visit my house when you have time. You and Qing Qing grew up together, so you're family. You should visit each other more often."
As she spoke, she looked at Ruan Qi, "Miss Ruan, don't you agree?"
Ruan Qi, who was eating steak, raised his head and glanced blankly at Qin Man's face.
"Ms. Qin, have you been to the hospital recently?" she suddenly asked.
With just this one sentence, Qin Man's face turned from red to green, from green to purple, and from purple to black, just like a neon light. It was wonderful.
Who doesn’t know that she was admitted to the hospital with a broken bone?
Ruan Qi said half a month ago that she was in danger of a bloody disaster, but now she asked this question.
What does this girl mean?
Are you deliberately making fun of her?!
Qin Man could no longer hold back her anger, and it burst out like shit mixed with laxatives.
"you--"
Ruan Qi: "I suggest you go to the hospital for a full-body checkup, especially a CT scan and color Doppler ultrasound."
"..." Qin Man couldn't catch her breath, and her head was buzzing.
She raised her hand tremblingly and pointed at Ruan Qi for a long time, her lips trembling so much that she couldn't utter a word.
Ruan Qi looked at her blankly. Are all these noble ladies so fragile?
It hasn't been diagnosed yet, and you're so scared?
The little girl had an innocent look on her face. Qin Man looked at her like this and wanted to pick up the Western knife on the table and die with her.
Qin Qingqing saw that Qin Man was about to lose control and quickly held her down.
"Mom, Miss Ruan is a doctor, and she has good intentions."
She comforted Qin Man with a sensible look on her face, and then showed gratitude to Ruan Qi.
"Thank you for your reminder, Miss Ruan."
Ruan Qi didn't say anything and stared at her for a few seconds.
Qin Qingqing felt uncomfortable when she looked at her.
After a few seconds, Ruan Qi withdrew her gaze and lowered her head in silence.
This Miss Qin has such a chaotic aura.
It's like pork belly bitten by fennel. Well, it's better for her to stay away from it.
Qin Qingqing felt a little embarrassed when he received no response to his thanks.
She glanced at Xi Jiu, who was carefully cutting the foie gras on the plate with a knife and fork.
Qin Qingqing bit her lip in grievance and forced a smile with pretended strength.
"Miss Ruan," she looked at Ruan Qi sincerely, "You cured Grandpa's illness. Can I invite you... and Mr. Xi to have a simple meal at my home?"
Qin Man's eyes lit up and she looked at her daughter with appreciation.
Using Mr. Qin's illness as an excuse, Ruan Qi would have no reason to refuse their invitation. This way, Xi Jiu would also go with them.
When the time comes, find an excuse to send Ruan Qi away and leave Qingqing and Xi Jiu alone at home.
A single man and a single woman, a burning fire, wait until the rice is cooked...
Qin Man seemed to have seen the day when she would become the mother-in-law of the head of the Xi family.
She smiled smugly and stared at Ruan Qi with burning eyes, waiting for her to nod and accept Qin Qingqing's invitation.
However, if Ruan Qi could play by the rules, she would not be Ruan Qi anymore.
She tilted her little head and looked at Qin Qingqing, her bright peach blossom eyes full of doubts.
"Why did you invite me to your house for dinner?"
Qin Qingqing didn't expect her to ask this, and her smile froze. "Because you cured Grandpa's illness, I..."
"But we're not familiar with each other." Ruan Qi tilted her head, her face sincere and surprising. "We've only met twice, and your mother even scolded me. Why do you think I'd be willing to go to your house for dinner?"
"..." Qin Qingqing never expected that Ruan Qi would not act according to the script at all, and was completely confused by her question.
Seeing that she couldn't answer her question, Ruan Qi frowned unhappily.
"You rich people have such strange ideas." She poked the foie gras with a fork. "You invite strangers to your home for dinner. Aren't you afraid of running into bad people?"
With Ruan Xiaoqi's train of thought, she certainly couldn't guess that Qin Qingqing's target was actually Xi Jiu.
She asked these questions because she truly felt that Qin Qingqing's logic was flawed.
But Qin Qingqing felt that Ruan Qi did it on purpose.
He deliberately mocked her in front of Xi Jiu and embarrassed her.
Qin Qingqing clenched his fists, digging his nails deep into his flesh.
Her little face was pale, her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked at Xi Jiu with a wronged and forbearing look.
"Brother Xi..."
Xi Jiu, who was sitting opposite Ruan Qi, put down his knife and fork and wiped his mouth with a napkin gracefully.
"Ruan Qi is right."
He put the napkin on the table, looked up at Qin Qingqing, and spoke coldly.
"Miss Qin, we are indeed not familiar with each other."
Bai Li, who had been watching the fun in the system, couldn't help but applaud Xi Jiu.
This kid performed well, and can barely be given 60 points.
Well, a full score of 150.
Qin Qingqing didn't expect that Xi Jiu would not give her face in public. The fake crying she had just done to gain sympathy turned into real crying.
