Chapter 445: Meeting Xi Family Relatives for the First Time (Part 2)
An hour later, Shen Wenqian drove to Xi's manor.
Ruan Qi stood at the door of the main house wrapped in a shawl, and saw from afar that her agent's head seemed to be covered by a layer of dark clouds.
She raised her eyebrows and watched Shen Wenqian move towards her step by step with heavy steps.
"Brother Shen, are you okay?"
Shen Wenqian nodded weakly, "Where's the key?"
Ruan Qi handed him the key and said, "There shouldn't be much food in Yuyuan Villa. Xiaogouzi cleared out all the food before returning to Qingyun Village."
"It's okay." Shen Wenqian put the key in his pocket. "As long as there's a bed for me to sleep in, that's all."
After saying that, he waved his hand and left with tired steps.
The little girl looked at her agent's sad back and sighed softly.
"It's so hard to be single, it's better to have Jiujiu."
Shen Wenqian, who hadn't walked far yet, said: "..."
Please shut up, I thank your whole family!
…
Ruan Qi stayed in the laboratory for several days. After sending Shen Wenqian away, she went back to her bedroom to sleep.
I slept until after five in the evening.
It gets dark early in the capital in February, and it is completely dark by five in the evening.
The little girl sat up from the bed in a daze and walked barefoot to the stairs to the second floor.
An old lady's voice could be heard faintly.
"Big brother is still as energetic as ever, and Ajiu is even more handsome than before."
"Thank you for the compliment, sister-in-law." Old Master Xi smiled politely twice, "Please take a seat, everyone. You're welcome."
The people in the living room sat down, and at that moment, a soft, sleepy girl's voice was heard on the stairs.
"Jiujiu?"
Everyone looked up when they heard the sound.
On the stairs, the little girl was wearing a light pink suspender nightgown, revealing her fair arms and shoulders.
Her hair was very long, reaching down to her waist, with a wisp of alopecia swaying slightly on top of her head, which made her look a little cute.
The little girl was still asleep, her hazy peach blossom eyes showing a bit of laziness and confusion. She was like an innocent little rabbit, making people want to bully her.
The young men in the living room were all stunned when they saw Ruan Qi's pretty little face.
Xi Jiu, who was sitting on the sofa, had dark eyes.
He quickly stood up and walked up the stairs, holding the seductive and unaware little girl in his arms, blocking everyone's view.
"Bring me a shawl." The man's voice was slightly deep.
The servant guarding the second floor immediately took out several unopened shawls from Ruan Qi's room.
Xi Jiu chose a light pink shawl and spread it out, wrapping the little girl's shoulders, arms and chest tightly.
"It's easy to catch a cold just after waking up."
The simple Ruan Xiaoqi had no idea what the old beast was thinking. She nodded obediently and yawned softly.
Xi Jiu's cold features softened.
He gently rubbed the little girl's head, "Are you hungry, baby?"
Ruan Qi touched her stomach and shook her head, "It's okay."
As she spoke, she turned her head to look at the first floor, and only then did she realize that there were so many strangers in the living room.
The little girl's sleepiness was instantly scared away.
"Jiujiu, they..."
"They are some relatives." Xi Jiu leaned close to her ear, "People from the side branch of the Xi family."
Ruan Qi suddenly understood.
She looked at her nightgown and felt a little embarrassed: "Then I'll go change my clothes..."
"No need." Xi Jiu helped her tie the shawl and whispered, "They are all unimportant people, baby, don't worry about them."
After saying that, he glanced at the little girl's bare feet, bent down and picked her up horizontally.
Ruan Qi was startled.
She noticed the looks from the Xi family's side branches and blushed as she whispered, "Jiujiu, put me down. There are people here."
Xi Jiu did not let the little girl down.
He carried her to the sofa, then took the slippers from Gong Qi's hand, knelt on one knee and helped the little girl put them on her feet.
Several people from the Xi family's side branches were stunned.
The old lady sitting next to Xi Xiaoyun glanced at Ruan Qi, then turned to look at Mr. Xi.
Old Mr. Xi was happily watching his grandson and his granddaughter-in-law interacting, smiling happily.
A strange look flashed across the old lady's eyes.
She concealed her emotions and said with a smile, "Brother, this little girl is..."
"My granddaughter-in-law, Ruan Qi!" Old Master Xi said with a hint of pride, "How about my sister-in-law? Isn't Xiao Qi pretty?"
The old lady glanced at Ruan Qi's face inconspicuously and nodded with a smile.
After Xi Jiu helped Ruan Qi put on her shoes, Old Man Xi stood up and introduced, "Xiao Qi, this is my cousin's wife, Feng Bi. You can just call her Second Grandma like Old Nine did."
The little girl stood up and called out "Second Grandma" obediently.
The old lady Feng Bi, who was sitting on the sofa, nodded with a smile.
Xi Xiaoyun on the side frowned slightly.
Xi Jiu is the head of the Xi family. Although Ruan Qi has not yet married into the family, she has already been designated as the head of the family's wife by Xi Jiu and Old Master Xi.
According to the Xi family rules, relatives from the side branches, regardless of gender, age or status, must stand up and greet the wife of the head of the family when they see her.
Even if there are no family rules, the elders should give a red envelope when they meet the younger generation’s wife for the first time during the Chinese New Year, right?
Even one dollar is a token of thought.
But this old lady Feng...
Xi Xiaoyun turned to look at Xi Jiu. Sure enough, the man's expression turned cold.
Ruan Qi felt the coldness emanating from Xi Jiu and stretched out her little claws to hook his fingers.
Old Master Xi glanced at Old Lady Feng with a smile, then continued to introduce, "Those two boys are your Second Grandmother's grandsons, Xi Wen and Xi Wu, two years younger than Old Nine."
Ruan Qi turned to look at Xi Wen and Xi Wu, and greeted them with a smile.
However, the two people sitting on the sofa did not respond. They stared at the little girl's face with obsession in their eyes.
Xi Jiu's face darkened.
He narrowed his eyes dangerously, and his cold gaze swept across the two men's faces.
"Don't you want your eyes anymore?"
The man's aura was too strong, and his cold black eyes were filled with bloodthirsty murderous intent.
The lustful Xi Wen and Xi Wu shuddered all over and almost slipped off the sofa in fear.
Old Madam Feng's expression changed slightly, and she quickly smiled and said, "Xiao Qi is so beautiful. These two boys have never seen the world. Don't be angry, Jiu."
As she spoke, she slapped Xi Wen on the head, "Hurry up and apologize to your cousin!"
Xi Wen and Xi Wu said sorry to Xi Jiu tremblingly.
Xi Jiu didn't say anything and pulled the little girl to sit on the sofa.
Old Master Xi glanced at Xi Wen and Xi Wu with a smile, then looked at the young girl sitting next to Old Lady Feng, "This is..."
Before she could finish her words, Mrs. Feng, who had been unable to get up from her heavy butt, stood up suddenly.
She pulled the young girl next to her over and introduced her with a smile, "This is my sister's granddaughter from my mother's side. Her name is Lu Yan. She just turned eighteen this year. Yanyan, come and say hello to your great-grandfather and Brother Xi Jiu."
Lu Yan, wearing a white long dress, bowed politely to Old Man Xi, then turned to look at Xi Jiu.
