Chapter 707: The Fire Ten Years Ago (Part 1)
Ruan Qi immediately rolled down the car window and waved to Xi Jiu.
Xi Jiu's slightly cold eyes suddenly warmed up. He stood up with his long legs, closed the car door, and walked over.
At the same time, Ruan Qi's car also parked in the community parking space.
Ruan Qi put on a mask, pushed the door and got out of the car. She quickly adjusted her feet in small leather boots and ran towards Xi Jiu like a gust of wind.
Xi Jiu opened his arms and steadily caught the little girl who fell into his arms.
"Jiujiu, I miss you~"
The young couple hadn't seen each other for several days since their quick meeting in the hospital after the fire on the set.
Ruan Qi misses Xi Jiu, and Xi Jiu misses Ruan Qi even more.
He hugged the little girl tightly in his arms, and his heart, which had been empty for several days, was finally filled.
"Baby, have you eaten?" the man asked in a low and gentle voice.
The little girl leaning on his arms nodded her head and said, "After finishing filming, I went back to the hotel and ate two small breads. Grandma said she would make a big meal for me tonight, so I need to empty my stomach and eat more tonight!"
When talking about Grandma Ruan's feast, Ruan Xiaoqi became excited.
She raised her head, grabbed Xi Jiu's hand, and said with sparkling eyes, "Jiujiu, let's go see Qiu Weiren now. Let's finish our work quickly and go back to eat early. Grandma said she made pickled pepper chicken feet this morning, I want to go back and eat it early!"
The little girl looked eager for food. Xi Jiu looked at her, curled his thin lips, and replied softly, "Okay."
He took the little girl's hand and turned to walk towards the apartment building where Qiu Weiren lived.
The elevator goes directly to the 21st floor.
The elevator door dinged open, Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu walked out of the elevator and knocked on the door of the apartment where Qiu Weiren lived.
There were footsteps in the house, and soon the front door opened with a click.
Qiu Weiren, wearing gray home clothes, appeared in front of Ruan Qi.
"Miss Ruan," Qiu Weiren greeted Ruan Qi stiffly, then shifted his gaze slightly, and was slightly startled when he saw Xi Jiu, "Who is..."
Ruan Qi: "My fiancé, Xi Jiu."
In an instant, Qiu Weiren's pupils shrank sharply.
Ruan Qi's fiancé's surname is Xi, so isn't that... the one from the Xi family?!
Qiu Weiren was in prison for ten years. During these ten years, the circle of wealthy families changed dramatically. Many families declined, while many families rose to glory.
The only thing that remains unchanged is the Xi family standing tall at the top of the pyramid.
Qiu Weiren had known about the Xi family for ten years, a place that even Jiang Chuan had to avoid. And ten years later, he actually saw the current head of the Xi family with his own eyes.
Qiu Weiren suddenly became nervous.
He looked at Xi Jiu with awe and fear, his voice tense: "So it's the head of the Xi family. I've heard a lot about you."
Xi Jiu didn't reply, his expression was extremely cold.
Qiu Weiren was once Jiang Chunian's assistant. Ruan Qi suffered so much back then, and while Qiu Weiren wasn't the direct perpetrator, he was certainly an accomplice. Facing such a person, Xi Jiu was merciful for not killing him personally; how could he possibly treat him well?
Xi Jiu simply ignored Qiu Weiren and took Ruan Qi's hand as he walked past him into the house.
Qiu Weiren felt Xi Jiu's attitude and couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he also knew that he deserved it.
He had done so many immoral things for Jiang Chunian in the past, and it was a blessing for him that Xi Jiu didn't kill him.
Qiu Weiren sighed, turned around and brought out a plate of fruit from the kitchen.
He walked into the living room carrying a fruit plate. Ruan Qi was standing in the middle of the living room, looking at the surrounding decoration layout.
Qiu Weiren placed the fruit plate on the coffee table: "Ms. Ruan, Mr. Xi, please take a seat."
Ruan Qi thanked him and pulled Xi Jiu to sit on the sofa.
Qiu Weiren sat opposite them stiffly.
Ruan Qi's gaze swept over him, and her eyebrows raised slightly: "Mr. Qiu seems to be doing well."
Compared to when we first met in Shanghai, Qiu Weiren has gained a lot of weight now, and his complexion is not as bad as when he was just released from prison.
Qiu Weiren nodded sheepishly: "Thanks to Miss Ruan, I don't have to be so nervous after coming to the imperial capital. My appetite and sleep quality are much better than before."
Ruan Qi: "I'm fine as long as I can eat and sleep. By the way, didn't Yu Jinxiu tell you about Jiang Chunian's situation?"
"Yes." Qiu Weiren's face became serious when Jiang Chunian was mentioned. "Mr. Yu said that you met Jiang Chunian in Country Y and fought with him. How is Jiang Chunian now? Is he dead or missing?"
"It's still uncertain at the moment," Ruan Qi replied. "We've searched for Jiang Chunian for a long time and haven't found his body, so it's very likely he's still alive. But he blew himself up before, and his ancient martial arts skills are ruined, so even if he's still alive, he's just an ordinary person."
When Qiu Weiren heard this, his heart finally settled down.
However, he was still a little worried and couldn't help but remind Ruan Qi: "Miss Ruan, Jiang Chunian is cunning by nature. Even if his ancient martial arts skills are useless, he may still have other tricks. Miss Ruan, you'd better be careful."
"I know." Ruan Qi nodded. "As long as Jiang Chunian is alive, I won't let my guard down. By the way, Mr. Qiu, I came to you this time because I have something to ask you."
Qiu Weiren: "Miss Ruan, you speak."
"Was there a fire in Xiaoyao Manor ten years ago?"
"Fire?" Qiu Weiren was stunned for a moment, his brows slightly furrowed.
What happened ten years ago was too long ago. Qiu Weiren had been in prison for ten years and had forgotten many details.
He frowned and tried hard to recall, and finally he could barely scrape out a clue from his dusty memories.
"Ten years ago... there seemed to be a fire in Xiaoyao Manor."
Ruan Qi's heart was suddenly shaken, and he quickly asked Qiu Weiren: "How was the fire started? Was it caused by human beings? Did anyone die? What are the specific circumstances of the fire?"
"I don't know the specific circumstances of the fire." Qiu Weiren shook his head. "I was on a business trip the day the fire broke out, and by the time I came back, the matter had been mostly dealt with. But the people at Xiaoyao Manor told me that the fire killed a lot of people, and Jiang Chunian got really angry. As for the rest, I don't know."
Jiang Chunian was very cautious. Even though Qiu Weiren had followed him for several years, he would not tell Qiu Weiren everything.
Therefore, Qiu Weiren was not clear about the specific circumstances of the fire.
Ruan Qi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Qiu Weiren is Jiang Chunian's assistant. Even he doesn't know the specific circumstances of the fire. Who else would know?
Ruan Qi thought about it in her mind, and suddenly, she thought of someone——
Su wants.
Su Yao is the younger brother of Yu Jinxiu's friend and also a victim of the Xiaoyaozhuang incident.
Because of the great shock he suffered that year, Su Yao suffered from psychological blindness for ten years. Finally, it was Yu Jinxiu who invited Ruan Qi to come over and cure Su Yao.

Su Yao is in Chapter 56 of Volume 3.
