Chapter 919 You Want to Die
Forty minutes later, a black Rolls-Royce with the Xi family logo stopped in front of Fenglou.
Fenglou is one of the most prestigious, expensive, and high-end teahouses in the imperial capital. It's said that the carvings on the jade pillars outside the building alone were all crafted by the country's most famous jade carvers and are worth tens of millions.
Ruan Qi had heard Shen Wenqian talk about Fenglou before. She got out of the car fully armed, and her first thought was to go and see the pillars worth tens of millions.
The little girl, wearing a mask and a hat, ran to the tall white jade pillar. She carefully touched the pattern on the pillar with her tender white fingers, and then quickly retracted her fingers like a frightened animal.
The Xi family father and son who had just gotten off the car were all amused by this scene.
Xi Jiu curled his lips slightly, stepped up the stairs with his long legs, and walked to the little girl with curious eyes.
"Baby likes this?"
Ruan Qi stared at the pillar and slowly hummed, "It's okay. I just think... it's quite valuable."
"These pillars are Lao Yu's masterpiece, named Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix." Xi Xiaoran's gentle voice sounded behind him.
Ruan Qi turned her head and asked, "Lao Yu?"
"My father's friend is called Yu Yu, a famous jade carver in China. These pillars are his works." Xi Jiu explained concisely.
Ruan Qi suddenly realized and let out a small "wow".
"The friends Uncle Xi knows are all so awesome!" As she said this, she raised her thumbs up and gave a big thumbs up to her future father-in-law.
Xi Xiaoran felt that his daughter-in-law was much more popular than his own son.
He happily accepted her compliment and asked with a gentle smile, "Xiao Qi, do you like jade carvings? If you do, I'll ask Lao Yu to make one for you."
Ruan Qi's eyes suddenly lit up.
She was not very fond of this kind of things, but Nie Beilou and Grandpa Ruan were definitely experienced jade carving enthusiasts.
Coincidentally, Grandpa Ruan’s birthday is less than three months away...
The little girl rubbed her hands excitedly in her heart and asked Xi Xiaoran expectantly, "Uncle Xi, can I make one more?" She stretched out two white and tender fingers, "One for Master and one for Grandpa."
Xi Xiaoran didn't expect Ruan Qi to make such a request.
He was stunned for a moment, then laughed softly, "Xiao Qi is a filial child. Sure, carve as many as you want. If Lao Yu doesn't agree, I'll arrest him and lock him in the basement. I'll let him out when he's done!"
Ruan Qi: “!”
Mr. Xi is awesome! He’s making crazy phone calls!
…
After finishing the birthday gift for Grandpa Ruan, Ruan Qi followed Xi Xiaoran into Fenglou with satisfaction.
Fourth floor, vvvip box.
Xi Xiaoran stood outside the door and raised his hand to knock on it.
Soon, a burst of hurried and brisk footsteps was heard in the box.
Ruan Qi, who was standing behind Xi Xiaoran, raised her eyebrows slightly.
Zhao Chengbin and his men are a few years older than Xi Xiaoran. They are all steady and mature middle-aged men. It is impossible for them to make such a light sound when walking.
Is there someone else in the room?
Before Ruan Qi could figure it out, the door of the box opened with a loud bang.
“Soft!!!”
Following an excited call, a purple-red figure rushed over.
The voice was so familiar that Ruan Qi was stunned for a moment, unable to dodge. Xi Jiu, standing nearby, had a dark expression on his face. He stretched out his long arms and pulled her into a hug. Then, with his right hand, he grabbed the man who had rushed towards him by the back of his collar.
"Qin Qingdi, you want to die." The man's voice was so cold that ice could fall off.
Qin Qingdi, whose fate was grabbed by the collar: "..."
Damn, I feel the call of death.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－－
Qin Qingdi: I want to take Ruanbao home and raise him! ~
Mr. Xi: What are you thinking about?
—Young Master is typing away in a hospital ward. This is my first time in the hospital, and I'm not feeling great. The doctor told me so many risks of surgery today, it scared me so much I wanted to run. As someone with a bad attitude, I can't handle being scared. I have to get another EKG tomorrow; the previous one was abnormal, and I'm banging my head against the wall with worry.
