Chapter 882: Revenge for Ruan Qi (Part 1)
There was a heavy rain in the imperial capital in the late night, and the sky did not clear up until the next morning.
The curtains slowly opened, and bright sunlight shone on the big bed, adding a bit of blush to the little girl's slightly pale face.
Xi Jiu's voice was hoarse from talking all night. He leaned against Ruan Qi and dozed for ten minutes before sitting up from the bed.
He went into the bathroom, brushed his teeth with the new toothbrush he had bought last night, and quickly washed his face. After he finished tidying himself up, he wet a towel with warm water and returned to the big bed.
"Baby, it's time to get up."
The girl on the bed had her eyes closed and did not respond to him.
Xi Jiu seemed to have heard her answer. He smiled and bent down to sit beside her.
"If you don't want to remember, can I wipe your face for you?"
Xi Jiu took a hot towel and wiped the girl's face gently and skillfully.
After wiping her face, he changed another towel and wiped the girl's neck and hands.
After doing all this, there was a knock on the bedroom door.
"Come in." Xi Jiu said.
Ruan Munan pushed open the door and walked in. He first glanced at Ruan Qi lying on the bed and asked, "How is Xiaoqi?"
Xi Jiu: "It's still the same, nothing has changed."
Ruan Munan couldn't help but frown when she heard his hoarse voice: "How much did you say last night? Why is your voice so hoarse?"
"Not much." Xi Jiu didn't care about his voice at all. He just turned around and asked Ruan Munan, "Is Xiaoqi's breakfast ready?"
Ruan Munan opened his mouth, wanting to persuade him. But seeing Xi Jiu's sullen expression, he didn't say anything. He only replied, "It's ready. I made sweet soup for Xiao Qi. My mother made it herself. You go downstairs and eat. I'll feed Xiao Qi."
"No need." Xi Jiu rejected his kindness. "I have no appetite. Feed Xiao Qi first, then I'll eat."
After saying that, he stood up, took the towel back to the bathroom, and went to the first floor to get food.
Ruan Munan stared at Xi Jiu's departing back for two seconds.
After a moment, he walked to the bed and sat down next to Ruan Qi.
"Xiao Qi," Ruan Munan's voice was tinged with sadness, "Wake up quickly, Xi Jiu and brother can't hold on any longer."
The girl on the bed didn't move.
Ruan Munan looked at her beautiful face, sighed deeply, and buried his face in his hands.
…
Xi Jiu quickly brought breakfast.
He put his portion of lean meat porridge aside, picked up the sweet soup made by Yang Liu, turned to Ruan Munan and said, "Help me help Xiao Qi up."
Ruan Munan skillfully lifted up the little girl's upper body and let her lean on his arms.
Xi Jiu held the soup bowl, scooped up the soup with a small spoon, and carefully brought it to Ruan Qi's mouth.
He put spoonfuls of soup into her mouth.
Ruan Munan stared at Ruan Qi's swallowing and suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, there's a very important charity dinner tonight. Are you going?"
Tonight's charity dinner is an annual event held by the top wealthy circles in the imperial capital. All families that rank well in the imperial capital will participate.
As the head of the Xi family, Xi Jiu naturally had to attend such occasions. He used to go every year, but this year...
"No."
The little girl was still lying in bed, why was he going to the dinner party?
Ruan Munan wasn't surprised by Xi Jiu's answer. He frowned and said to Xi Jiu worriedly, "You can't just stay with Xiao Qi like this forever. If she doesn't wake up, are you going to keep watching over her and even ignore the Xi family?"
Xi Jiu loves Ruan Qi so deeply, so as his brother, Ruan Munan is naturally happy.
But Xi Jiu hadn't left his room for almost ten days. He had been watching over Ruan Qi in the ward, and now that she was discharged, he started watching over her in the bedroom.
He didn't eat, he didn't sleep, he kept talking in Ruan Qi's ear with a hoarse voice all day long. If this continued, even an iron man would not be able to bear it.
Ruan Munan was very worried that Xi Jiu would fall down.
To the Ruan family, Xi Jiu was merely Ruan Qi's fiancé. But to everyone else, he was still the head of the Xi family, the man at the helm of the Xi Corporation. So many people in the Xi Corporation depended on him for their livelihoods; if he were to fall, it would be a catastrophe for the Xi Corporation and the Xi family.
Ruan Munan didn't want Ruan Qi's coma to bring trouble to the Xi family and the Xi Corporation. Otherwise, when Ruan Qi woke up, she would definitely feel extremely guilty.
Ruan Munan could only keep persuading Xi Jiu.
"Xiao Qi would also be unhappy if she knew you were staying with her every day. Don't you understand her personality? She wants you to be happy. But go look in the mirror and see what you look like now."
Xi Jiu lowered his eyes and said nothing, his whole body exuding the aura of "I am very autistic".
Ruan Munan was almost pissed off by this love-brain thing.
He suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, changed his persuasion strategy, and said to Xi Jiu, "My parents will be attending the charity dinner tonight. You should know their relationship with the Cheng family. If they run into Cheng Qi and Xu Qingya at the dinner, they might just come to blows. You are the head of the Xi family, and your status is higher than Cheng Qi. If you can accompany my parents, Cheng Qi and Xu Qingya will definitely be afraid and won't dare to act recklessly. Can you go tonight? Just think of it as protecting my parents for Xiao Qi."
Ruan Fengmian and Yang Liu had been secretly targeting the Cheng family's assets for a long time. In fact, according to their original plan, they shouldn't have met with Cheng Qi and Xu Qingya so early.
But something happened to Ruan Qi.
After Ruan Qi fell into a coma, Mo Lan once mentioned to everyone that they had been monitoring Xu Qingya. During the monitoring, Xu Qingya had made a phone call, saying that she had asked the X organization's Experiment No. 6 to take action to deal with a little girl.
Not long after the call, Jiang Chunian appeared at the recording site, causing an explosion.
How could it be such a coincidence that something happened to Ruan Qi right after Xu Qingya made the call?
Ruan Qi had previously speculated that the Experiment No. 6, whom Xu Qingya often mentioned on the phone, might be Jiang Chunian. Jiang Chunian's ancient martial arts skills had been crippled, and he must have used Organization X's potion to restore his strength.
If the test subject No. 6 is really Jiang Chunian, then the accident that happened to Ruan Qi this time was Xu Qingya's doing.
It was Xu Qingya who sent Jiang Chunian to deal with Ruan Qi.
This speculation successfully aroused the anger of Ruan Fengmian and Yang Liu.
They originally wanted to continue lurking in the dark for a while, and when the Cheng family's assets had been almost completely destroyed, they would wipe out the Cheng family in one fell swoop.
But now, Ruan Qi's coma has made this couple who love their daughter dearly change their minds.
Xu Qingya had harmed their daughter, so she had to pay the price. They had to get back at Xu Qingya for all the suffering their daughter had endured!
And tonight's charity banquet, with many wealthy people gathered, is a perfect day for Xu Qingya to be ruined!
Ruan Munan told Xi Jiu about Ruan Fengmian and Yang Liu's plan. After listening to it, Xi Jiu's expression relaxed a little.
