Chapter 946: Stealing Someone's Husband
Old Master Xi looked at the expensive gifts filling the coffee table, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water without saying a word.
Sheng Lin, who came with Grandpa Sheng, saw this and spoke hurriedly, "Uncle Xi, our Qingqing is young and naive, and she doesn't speak or act properly. But after all, you raised her under your care. Uncle Xi, can you help her?"
When Mr. Xi heard this, his eyelids twitched twice and he slowly raised his eyes.
"Niece, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I can't."
He put down his teacup and leaned back on the sofa calmly. "I know everything that happened in Fenglou last night. Including the recording, I listened to it too. That Ye Qingqing of yours said some really harsh things."
Sheng Lin: "Xi Bo, Qingqing has been spoiled, she really doesn't have any bad intentions..."
"No bad intentions?" Old Master Xi interrupted her with a smile, "Isn't stealing someone's fiancé bad intentions?"
Sheng Lin choked when asked.
She choked and continued to defend herself, "Qingqing did that because she loved Laojiu too much. Mr. Xi, you are Laojiu's grandfather, you should also understand the principle that a man from one family is sought after by hundreds of families. Not to mention that Laojiu is so outstanding..."
"Old Nine's excellence is my fault for teaching him well. What does that have to do with your daughter?" Old Master Xi was beginning to get fed up. "And 'One man from a hundred families'? Niece, I think your husband is quite capable. How about I introduce two girls to him and ask him for love?"
Sheng Lin was speechless.
She opened her mouth and said dryly, "Xi Bo, Qingqing is still a child..."
"Twenty-two is not young anymore." Old Master Xi sipped his tea. "My little Qi is two years younger than your daughter. Old Sheng, if you're here today just to make excuses for your granddaughter, then I'm sorry I can't entertain you."
After saying that, he stood up and was about to walk out.
Old Master Sheng thought to himself, "Not good."
The reason why he didn't stop Sheng Lin from talking just now was that he wanted to test Mr. Xi's bottom line. But he didn't expect that Mr. Xi would care so much about Ruan Qi and just quit!
Old Master Sheng knew that if he didn't show his attitude, his trip today would be in vain.
He stood up quickly.
"Old Xi, Old Xi, please don't leave."
He walked over quickly on his crutches and stopped Mr. Xi. "Sheng Lin was wrong just now. I've spoiled both mother and daughter. You must not be angry with them. Sheng Lin, come here and apologize to your uncle Xi!"
Sheng Lin was a little reluctant.
She felt that she was right. After all, Xi Jiu and Ruan Qi were not married yet. What was wrong with a man from one family being sought after by hundreds of families?
Sheng Lin didn't want to apologize, but Ye Qingqing was still lying on the hospital bed, so she had to agree even if she didn't want to.
Sheng Lin curled her lips, walked reluctantly to Mr. Xi and bowed to him.
"Xi Bo, I was wrong just now, please don't be angry."
Old Master Xi snorted coldly.
Old Master Sheng quickly grabbed his arm and said, "Old Xi, Sheng Lin has apologized, so don't be angry. Let's sit back and continue talking."
Mr. Xi was invited by the Sheng family father and daughter to sit back on the sofa.
The butler Gong Qi, dressed in a white Tang suit, ordered the servants to replace the cold tea on the coffee table with fresh tea.
Old Master Sheng picked up the teacup and took a sip. He glanced around the hall and couldn't help asking, "Where are Xiao Ran and Xiao Wei?"
"I went to the mall." Mr. Xi answered with a straight face.
Old Master Sheng didn't care and nodded with a forced smile, "Shopping is good, shopping is good. Xiao Ran has been locked up in the courtyard before, and now that he has recovered, it's time to go out and buy some clothes to dress up."
"Who says shopping means buying clothes for yourself?" Old Master Xi raised his eyelids and glanced at him. "Xiao Wei and Xiao Ran went to order new summer clothes for Xiao Qi."
The smile on Mr. Sheng's face gradually froze.
It was a hot day at the end of July, and my parents-in-law braved the scorching sun to go to the mall to order new clothes for their daughter-in-law.
He had never heard of such a new thing in his entire life!
As if Old Master Xi didn't think the Sheng family father and daughter hadn't been thrilled enough, he raised his eyebrows and said with a hint of pride, "My little Qi is a big star. She was recently nominated for a Grammy Award. You know the Grammy Awards, right? They're the most prestigious awards in Europe. She's in the limelight right now, with countless media outlets watching her. Of course, she has to wear something nice!"
After saying that, he suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Gong Qi, "Have the jewelry I ordered for Xiao Qi arrived a few days ago?"
"Just arrived this morning." Gong Qi pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and smiled. "I've checked them out. A set of violet glass, a set of natural black pearls, and a set of blue diamonds. They're all perfect, without any flaws, worthy of the young lady."
Mr. Xi nodded with satisfaction.
"That's good. Our little Qi is so beautiful, she deserves the best jewelry. Gong Qi, please personally deliver the jewelry to Jinhua Entertainment later. Little Qi will wear it to the premiere of "Tianya" on Friday."
Gong Qi smiled and said "OK".
The old man and the young were chatting happily, but the Sheng family father and daughter who were listening had huge waves in their hearts.
They knew that the Xi family liked Ruan Qi, but they didn't expect that they liked her to this extent!
This is simply like raising Ruan Qi as your own daughter!
Originally, Mr. Sheng thought that the Xi family liked Ruan Qi because she cured Xi Xiaoran's madness and because of her superb medical skills.
But now it seems... that's not the case.
The fondness and love that Old Master Xi expressed when he mentioned Ruan Qi were absolutely genuine.
They really have treated Ruan Qi as one of their own!
When Old Master Sheng understood this, his heart sank.
It seems that today's matter will be difficult to handle.
He sighed in his heart, raised his hand and rubbed his face vigorously, and said in a hoarse voice, "Old Xi, Qingqing's matter..."
"I can't do anything about this." Old Master Xi stopped chatting with Gong Qi and looked at him with a frown. "I treat Xiao Qi as my own granddaughter. Someone wants to steal my granddaughter's fiancé. Old Sheng, what would you do if it were you?"
Mr. Sheng's expression changed.
If anyone wants to steal Ye Qingqing's fiancé, he will definitely make that person's life a living hell.
but……
"I understand the logic." He smiled bitterly, "Qingqing did something wrong, and she deserves to be punished. But Old Xi, this punishment is a bit too harsh. After all, she is just a girl in her early twenties..."
"My little Qi hasn't even turned 20 yet! Does she deserve to be bullied and have her husband taken away?!"
Mr. Xi gets angry whenever he mentions this matter.
He slammed the teacup down on the coffee table, not giving the Sheng family father and daughter the slightest bit of face, and bluntly said, "Old Sheng, don't blame me for being harsh. The Sheng family is a wealthy family with a history of over a hundred years. Is this how you raise your children? And you even steal someone's boyfriend! Where are your values? Have they been eaten by dogs?!"
