Chapter 914 Moving (Update 1)
After a series of "inhumane" punishments such as hitting the forehead and pulling the ears, Nie Beilou finally let Ruan Qi go.
Ruan Qi leaned back on the pillow, enjoying Xi Jiu's ear rubbing service, and asked Nie Beilou: "Master, how are my grandparents?"
Nie Beilou: "It's okay. The people from Organization X only injected them with an anesthetic. They'll be fine once the drug is metabolized. There's nothing else wrong with their bodies."
Ruan Qi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
After Grandpa and Grandma Ruan were captured by Jiang Chunian, she was most afraid that the pervert would inject them with some kind of weird drug. Fortunately, it was just some anesthesia and would not affect their health.
"I really didn't expect Xu Qingya and Jiang Chunian to attack Grandpa and Grandma. Luckily, Grandpa and Grandma are fine, otherwise, skinning them alive wouldn't be enough to satisfy my anger."
Nie Beilou: "Now that Xu Qingya knows your father is still alive, she'll be desperate and use any means necessary. But this should serve as a reminder for us. We need to send more people to protect your grandparents in the future."
Ruan Qi nodded in agreement. "I just discussed this with Jiujiu. Jiang Chunian may be dead now, but we still have Xu Qingya and Organization X. To prevent them from attacking grandpa and grandma again, I plan to move to a safer place."
Nie Beilou thought about it for a moment and felt that this method was feasible.
"We really can't live in Yuyuan anymore. Although the security system there is good, it can't protect against ancient warriors and experimental people. Where do you want to move to?"
"This..." Ruan Qi had no idea for a moment.
Although there were many wealthy areas in the imperial capital, the security personnel were all ordinary people. They were good at dealing with ordinary petty thieves, but they were no match for Xu Qingya and the members of Organization X.
If you want to be completely safe, it is best to move to an independent courtyard.
The independent courtyard makes it convenient for her to move around. She then borrowed some of the Xi family's secret guards from Xi Jiu, and combined it with the security system she wrote herself, which was enough to keep her family safe.
However, it is not easy to find an independent courtyard in the imperial capital.
Ruan Qi opened her phone and looked through the real estate app.
Seeing that she was undecided, Xi Jiu thought for a moment and said, "I have a manor that's very close to the Xi family's old house. How about you move there?"
"not good."
Nie Beilou disagreed. "We're not even married yet, so how can we bring our family to live in your house? If all else fails, let Xiaoqi and her family move to the sect. It's the safest place there."
Xi Jiu thought about the environment of his master's sect and felt that this was not a good idea.
The sect was bustling with people coming and going every day, making it not a very suitable place to live. Furthermore, the rooms there were not big, and the beds were not soft enough, so it was really a bit unfair for Ruan Qi to live there.
Xi Jiu still wanted Ruan Qi to move to the manor under his name, but Nie Beilou firmly disagreed.
At this moment, the girl who was browsing the real estate app suddenly slapped her thigh.
"Yes, how could I forget that? Aunt Xi gave me a courtyard house before!"
Xi Jiu was stunned, and soon remembered this matter.
That was the gift Duan Wei had given Ruan Qi when she first visited the Xi family as his girlfriend. At the time, Xi Xiaoran hadn't recovered yet and was acting crazy every day. To take care of him, Duan Wei had been living with him in the side courtyard, neglecting her own son, Xi Jiu.
After Ruan Qi visited the Xi family, Duan Wei gave her a lot of gifts as compensation, one of which was the property ownership certificate for a courtyard house near the Forbidden City.
As everyone knows, courtyard houses near the Imperial Palace in the imperial capital can fetch exorbitant prices. Ruan Qi definitely wouldn't accept such an expensive gift.
But Duan Wei was straightforward and directly asked Xi Jiu to transfer the property certificate.
As a result, Ruan Qi was forced to own a courtyard house near the Forbidden City, worth hundreds of millions of yuan.
Xi Jiu thought of the house and nodded: "That courtyard house is indeed suitable. The location is good and the surrounding environment is also good. It is very suitable for the elderly to live in."
It’s just a little far from the Xi family’s old house.
But this is not a problem for Xi Jiu.
Because the courtyard house that Duan Wei gave to Ruan Qi was next to his property.
After the little girl moved in, he moved in with his luggage and the two continued to be neighbors.
Xi Jiu had a clear plan in mind. Ruan Qi, unaware of his plan, happily asked Nie Beilou, "Master, what do you think?"
Nie Beilou thought about it and nodded.
"Sure. But why didn't you tell me that Xi Jiu's mother gave you the house?"
"I forgot..." Ruan Qi scratched his face guiltily, "My family didn't know I was in a relationship at the time, so I didn't tell them. Then I got too busy with work and forgot about it."
Nie Beilou: “…”
How could I forget a courtyard house worth hundreds of millions of yuan?
If it were someone else, they would probably have to hang the property certificate on the wall and look at it 24 hours a day.
Nie Beilou looked at his apprentice speechlessly and admonished him slowly, "If something like this happens again, tell me in time. The Xi family's parents gave you a gift, so you should return the favor."
Ruan Qi shrank his head and listened to the lecture with an open mind.
But Xi Jiu didn't want her to feel so wronged, so he spoke up for her, "Mr. Beilou, Xiaoqi also gave my grandfather a gift that day. She gave him a large piece of jade, Dahongpao, and precious matsutake mushrooms."
The Ruan family has several mines abroad, and the jade that Ruan Qi gave to Mr. Xi was mined from there.
Nie Beilou thought for a moment and asked Ruan Qi, "Is that the half-man-high imperial green piece you gave me?"
Ruan Qi nodded quickly.
"Yes," she gestured with her hands, "it's the extra-large one."
Glass-type imperial green is extremely precious. Such a large piece of jade may not be worth hundreds of millions of dollars if it is sold outside.
Nie Beilou compared the prices of the Siheyuan and Imperial Green in his mind, and looked at Ruan Qi with admiration.
"Yes, you did a great job. When your parents-in-law give you gifts in the future, you should also return the favor. If you need money, just tell me and I will pay for it."
The Ruan family was wealthy and powerful, and they would never allow their daughter to suffer any injustice. But at the same time, they would not allow Ruan Qi to become a petty person who took advantage of others and gave nothing in return.
Relationships can only last if there is give and take. Simply asking for things will only make people look down on you.
Ruan Qi always remembered the teachings of her family and master, and smiled with a smile: "Master, don't worry, I have money~"
"Right." Xi Jiu echoed, "Master Beilou, don't worry. Even if Xiaoqi has no money, I'm still here. All my property belongs to Xiaoqi."
Nie Beilou liked this sentence very much.
He glanced at Xi Jiu with satisfaction and said to the two of them, "In that case, I won't be in charge of your affairs anymore. Xiao Qi, take good care of your health. Find a time to move after you're discharged from the hospital."
…
Ruan Qi's body is gradually recovering.
The day after she woke up, the Ruan family elders had recovered and, accompanied by Ruan Fengmian and Yang Liu, they went to the hospital to see their injured grandchildren.
Ruan Munan's injuries were minor, just superficial. Nie Heng was beaten by the experimental subjects and vomited blood, with some internal damage, but he recovered very quickly under Nie Beilou's care.
