Chapter 37 Miss Ruan, where are you? (More updates please vote!)
Ruan Qi slowly took out her cell phone from her bag and opened WeChat.
Maybe she hadn't recovered from her sleepiness yet, she looked at the voice bar in the chat window in a daze and clicked the speaker button without thinking.
"Xiao Qi'er, it's the tenth anniversary of your fourth grandfather's death in a few days. Is there anything you want grandpa to bring for you?"
Grandpa Ruan's loud voice came from the receiver, scaring the little girl so much that she shivered and all her sleepiness disappeared.
She looked at Xi Jiu apologetically, then quickly typed a line of words and sent it over.
After a while, Grandpa Ruan replied.
The grandfather and grandson chatted back and forth for a while. After Ruan Qi turned off his phone, he looked up and was surprised to find that Xi Jiu's face looked a little ugly.
She blinked in confusion, "Mr. Xi?"
Xi Jiu's expression relaxed a little, and he said "hmm" lightly.
Ruan Qi looked at him several times with concern.
Xi Jiu's pressure was much lower than before, and he felt a faint chill all over his body.
Ruan Qi was confused and wondered what had happened to this gentleman all of a sudden.
"Ms. Ruan."
The silent Xi Jiu suddenly spoke.
Ruan Qi turned to look at him.
Xi Jiu stopped talking again.
A pair of cold eyes looked straight ahead, and his handsome eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
Ruan Qi was filled with questions and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Xi, what can I do for you?"
Xi Jiu's cold eyes flashed, he hesitated for a moment, and then spoke in a deep voice.
"Miss Ruan, your fourth grandfather..."
"?" Ruan Qi looked puzzled. "My fourth grandfather? What's wrong?"
Xi Jiu pursed his lips, and the knuckles of his hands gripping the steering wheel turned white.
There was a struggle hidden in his dark eyes.
After a while, he seemed to let out a sigh and said in a hoarse voice, "It's okay."
Ruan Qi felt that Xi Jiu was not in a good state. She blinked her peach blossom eyes and looked at him in confusion.
Xi Jiu's thin lips were stretched into a straight line.
He felt Ruan Qi's gaze, and his eyes darkened. He turned the steering wheel, parked the car on the side of the road, and turned to look at her solemnly.
"Ms. Ruan, I have a question."
"Where were you, Miss Ruan, on August 14th, ten years ago?"
——*——*——
The Maybach stopped outside the community.
Ruan Qi opened the car door and got out, with a few question marks on his head.
Did she say something wrong?
Didn't he just reply, 'I spent my summer vacation at home in August ten years ago'?
Why is Xi Jiu's face as green as a green radish?
Ruan Qi examined herself and after making sure that she hadn't said anything that would infuriate anyone to death, she turned around and looked into the car.
Xi Jiu sat in the driver's seat, his handsome face as cold as an ice sculpture, and he was sweating cold air in the hot August.
Ruan Qi rubbed the goose bumps on his arms and was about to close the car door when a layer of red light suddenly appeared around Xi Jiu.
