Chapter 676: Protecting Like Life (Part 1)
Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu were intimate with each other for a while in front of Shen Wenqian without any mercy.
Suddenly, the cell phone on the coffee table rang.
Ruan Qi quickly pushed Xi Jiu away. She took the phone and took a look. It was an unfamiliar caller.
"Hello?"
Ruan Qi pressed the answer button and just said 'Hello' when a domineering male voice came from the other end of the line, "Are you Ruan Qi?"
Ruan Qi didn't recognize who this person was and raised an eyebrow. "It's me. May I ask who you are?"
"You don't need to know who I am. I'm asking you, do you have Liu Feng's video?"
When Ruan Qi heard this, he began to guess the other party's identity.
She leaned on the sofa with her phone in hand, and said slowly, "Are you from the Cheng family?"
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to have not expected Ruan Qi to be so smart, and his voice paused.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ruan Qi continued, "From your voice, you shouldn't be very old. Are you one of Cheng Qi's grandsons? I know Cheng Jinyan, and Cheng Yan's biological brother Cheng Jiahui is in prison. Besides the two of them, there are two males left in the younger generation of the Cheng family. One is Cheng Jiayi, born to the second branch of the Cheng family, and the other is Cheng Jiabin, the youngest son of the third branch of the Cheng family. I guess you should be Cheng Jiabin?"
"How do you know?!" Cheng Jiabin on the other end of the phone was shocked and speechless.
Ruan Qi chuckled and said slowly, "Because the Cheng family has a brain, they wouldn't call me personally to ask for a video call."
Cheng Jiabin realized belatedly that Ruan Qi was scolding him.
He immediately became furious: "Who are you calling brainless? How dare you say that to me! Do you know who I am?!"
This familiar tone and question made Ruan Qi couldn't help laughing.
"Mr. Cheng, Liu Feng asked me the same question a few days ago. You two are truly good friends with similar ideals. It's a pity that I didn't record your words today."
Cheng Jiabin suddenly remembered the incident of Liu Feng being recorded on video, and the anger in his heart was like being doused by a basin of ice water, chilling him to the core.
He didn't dare to talk nonsense on the phone anymore, and said stiffly: "What are your conditions? Tell me. As long as you can delete the video, I will agree to anything you ask."
Ruan Qi raised her eyebrows slightly: "Any conditions?"
"Yes." Cheng Jiabin gritted his teeth, "Any conditions!"
Ruan Qi thought the young master of the Cheng family was quite interesting. The Cheng family's inheritance rights weren't in his hands. Even if the video got out and the Cheng family got criticized, the one who should be worried about it should be the one in charge of the Cheng family, not Cheng Jiabin, who was just sitting around doing nothing.
What is he so nervous about?
Ruan Qi's mind raced, and he suddenly remembered what Mr. Xi had said when he went to the Xi family last time -
The Liu family is looking for a marriage partner.
Ruan Qi's heart moved, and she picked up the phone and asked, "Master Cheng is planning to marry into the Liu family?"
"How do you know?!" Cheng Jiabin was shocked for the second time.
Ruan Qi: “…”
She actually guessed it right.
It seems that after Cheng Jinyan left the Cheng family, the internal strife within the Cheng family over inheritance rights was more serious than she had imagined.
Even Cheng Jiabin, the youngest grandson of the Cheng family, has ambitions and wants to fight for a place in the Cheng family through marriage.
But why would he think of marrying into the Liu family?
Cheng Qi has always regarded the Liu family as a thorn in his side, and Cheng Jiabin couldn't have been unaware of this.
Ruan Qi was puzzled but didn't show it. She chuckled and said, "So, Master Cheng is here today to speak up for the Yue family?"
"So what?" Cheng Jiabin recovered from his shock and said in a stiff and arrogant tone, "If you know what's best for you, delete the video immediately. I'm not unreasonable. As long as you're willing to delete it, I can agree to one of your requests."
Ruan Qi smiled and said, "Okay. Then what should I ask?"
"You raise it!"
Ruan Qi raised the corners of her lips slightly and said slowly: "My request is - I want the Cheng family."
"..." Cheng Jiabin seemed not to hear clearly, "What do you want?"
Ruan Qi: "I want the Cheng family." She spoke slowly, word by word, "As long as Master Cheng gives the Cheng family to me, I'm willing to delete the video."
Cheng Jiabin finally heard it clearly this time.
He was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage: "Ruan Qi, are you fucking kidding me?!"
"Mr. Cheng, please don't wrongly accuse me." Ruan Qi said innocently, "You were the one who asked me to make such arbitrary demands."
"Ruan Qi, are you kidding me?!" Cheng Jiabin cursed, "Do you really think that with the Xi family and Yun Qi protecting me, I can't do anything to you? You still want the Cheng family, just a small star, wishful thinking! Fuck you—"
Just as Ruan Qi was about to say something unpleasant, Xi Jiu snatched away her phone.
"What did you say?" Xi Jiu's cold voice reached Cheng Jiabin's ears through electromagnetic waves.
Cheng Jiabin suddenly felt cold all over and shivered violently.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Xi Jiu." Xi Jiu's tone was steady, cold and without a trace of warmth.
Cheng Jiabin suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and even the blood in his body froze.
"Xi, Xixi..." His tongue seemed to be covered with ice, and he couldn't even call out the full name. The hand holding the phone was shaking.
Xi Jiu, however, seemed not to notice his trembling, and said calmly, "What did you just say? Repeat it to me."
Cheng Jiabin's face turned pale when he recalled what he had just said.
I've always heard people say Xi Jiu protects Ruan Qi like his life, but Cheng Jiabin scoffed. He's the head of the Xi family, and he has all the women he wants. How could he possibly treat his girlfriend like an ancestor?
But at this moment, he had to believe it.
Even though they were separated by the phone, Cheng Jiabin could clearly hear the coldness and murderous intent in Xi Jiu's cold tone.
He just cursed.
Who hasn't cursed someone? Just because he cursed Ruan Qi, Xi Jiu actually wanted to kill him!
Cheng Jiabin's hands and feet were cold, and he forced himself to speak: "Master Xi, Master Xi, I, I, I..."
Cheng Jiabin hesitated for a long time, his mind was blank, and he didn't know what to say.
Xi Jiu didn't give him a chance to explain himself. He said in a deep voice, "You don't have the qualifications to order Xiao Qi to delete the video. If you want to live a good life, take care of your own business and don't meddle in other people's business."
After saying that, Xi Jiu didn't give Cheng Jiabin another chance to speak and hung up the phone directly.
Ruan Qi held the yogurt cup and sat aside, watching.
Xi Jiu rubbed her head and returned the phone to her: "Cheng Jiabin won't harass you again. If he had any brains, he would know what to do with what I said just now."
If this matter only involved Ruan Qi, Cheng Jiabin might not be afraid. But Xi Jiu was clearly supporting Ruan Qi just now. If Cheng Jiabin was not stupid, he should know that this matter was no longer a personal grudge, but involved the Xi family.
Liu Feng's video contained words that were detrimental to the Cheng family, and the Cheng and Xi families have always been at odds. If Xi Jiu wanted to use this video to suppress the Cheng family, then this matter would be a big deal.
Therefore, if Cheng Jiabin had any common sense, he should have told the elders of the Cheng family about the video and today's call.
The Cheng family’s next step should be to choose someone with more say to contact Ruan Qi.
Maybe it was Cheng Wanqing and the others, or maybe it was Xu Qingya herself.
