Chapter 947: Master Xi Picks Vegetables (Part 1)
Old Master Xi was furious and didn't hold back when he scolded her. Sheng Lin had never been scolded like that before and wanted to retort, but Old Master Sheng held her back with his hand.
Old Master Xi pretended not to notice the little trick between father and daughter, and continued to scold with a stern face: "What is a lady from a noble family? What is a daughter of a famous family? A person with grace and virtue is a daughter of heaven! And look at your Ye Qingqing, what kind of words does she say? She is sarcastic and sarcastic, what's the difference between her and a shrew in the market!"
"My little Qi is indeed not from a wealthy family. Her parents are from the countryside. But what's wrong with being from the countryside? Without people from the countryside growing rice and vegetables, what would you eat?! To put it bluntly, if you count back two hundred years, your Sheng family's ancestors also came from the countryside!"
"Besides, our Xiao Qi, who comes from a rural background and never attended elementary or middle school, was able to graduate from Jian Qiao with a double bachelor's degree at the age of fifteen. With that kind of talent, who among you has it?! And what about her contributions to academia and her accomplishments in other fields? Which of your children can compare?! And you still look down on Xiao Qi? Don't you even consider what else you have to offer besides your family background? Our Xiao Qi, aside from her inferior family background, is exceptional in everything else!"
Old Master Xi had practiced ancient martial arts for many years, and his voice was like a bell, full of confidence. Furthermore, he was particularly excited, and when he shouted loudly, his voice echoed throughout the mansion.
The Sheng family father and daughter were scolded harshly, but because they were under someone else's roof, they had to bow their heads and didn't even dare to fart.
Mr. Xi cursed for a full five minutes, and finally felt a little relieved.
He took the Longjing tea poured by Gong Qi and took a sip, smacking his lips in satisfaction, and then regained his dignity and composure as the old patriarch of the Xi family.
"These are just my angry words. Don't take them to heart, Old Sheng. I treat Xiao Qi as my own granddaughter. If my granddaughter is bullied, I must seek justice for her. You should understand me on this point, Old Sheng."
Mr. Sheng was stunned by the scolding: "..."
Old Master Xi glanced at him and continued in a dignified tone, "But then again, we've known each other for many years. Although I'm not familiar with Ye Qingqing, I've attended her full moon banquet before, so we've met a few times. Now that she's done something wrong, she's been punished. As an elder, I can't just sit back and watch."
When Mr. Sheng heard this, he was no longer confused.
He quickly sat up straight, "Old Xi, can you really help me?!"
"I'm not a doctor, I can't help you." Mr. Xi paused and changed the subject, "But I can call Xiao Qi."
Mr. Sheng, who was about to be disappointed, suddenly brightened up his eyes.
Seeing his expression, Old Master Xi reminded him unhappily, "Let me make it clear first. I'm just calling Xiao Qi. It's up to you how you want to beg her. I won't persuade Xiao Qi to stop for you, understand?"
Mr. Sheng nodded quickly in response.
Old Master Xi snorted arrogantly, took the phone from Gong Qi, and called Ruan Qi.
The phone beeped a few times and then someone picked up.
"Grandpa Xi~" The little girl's sweet voice came from the receiver.
Mr. Xi, who had a stern face, immediately smiled, and even a few more wrinkles appeared on his face.
"Hey, it's me!" He smiled lovingly, his tone gentle and completely different from when he was scolding someone just now. "Xiao Qi, where are you now?"
"Grandpa Xi, I'm at home. I'm preparing to cook with Xiaogouzi." The little girl answered obediently.
Mr. Xi immediately let out two exaggerated "ouch, ouch".
"Our Xiaoqi is so virtuous and can even cook for herself. But my dear, kitchen fumes are bad for your skin, and what if you get splashed with oil? Don't do it. Grandpa will send Chef Chen to cook for you. Don't you love his cooking the most? Just order whatever you want!"
Old Master Sheng, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but twitch his lips.
He thought he loved Ye Qingqing very much, but he didn't expect that there is always someone better than you, and Mr. Xi treated Ruan Qi even better.
However, because of this, Mr. Sheng felt even more depressed.
Given how much Mr. Xi loves Ruan Qi, it's likely that the Xi family will unconditionally support her no matter what she does. So, if Ruan Qi chooses not to forgive Ye Qingqing, the Xi family will likely not intervene to mediate.
If that happens, things will become difficult.
Mr. Sheng had a gloomy look on his face, while Ruan Qi and Mr. Xi were chatting animatedly.
"Grandpa Xi, it's not me who cooks, it's Xiaogouzi. I just help him pick the vegetables."
"Picking vegetables?" Old Master Xi frowned. "That won't work either! There's so much dirt and bacteria on the roots of the vegetables. How could you touch that, Xiaoqi? And where's Laojiu? Why didn't he help you?"
Ruan Qi: "Grandpa Xi, you forgot, Jiujiu went to the company today."
"It's already so late and you're still not off work?!" Old Man Xi was unhappy. "Gong Qi, call Lao Jiu! Tell him to go over and help Xiao Qi pick vegetables! Seriously, all he does is work. I don't know what Xiao Qi likes about him!"
Gong Qi responded, took out his cell phone with an unchanged smile, and checked the time.
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
The kindergarten hasn’t finished school yet.
The head of the household would be forced to leave work.
What a great guy.
Gong Qi pushed his glasses and walked aside with great professionalism to call Xi Jiu.
Mr. Xi also ended his small talk with Ruan Qi and got down to business.
"Xiao Qi, Grandpa has something I want to ask you about."
Ruan Qi: "Grandpa, you say."
"That's right. You were bullied by that girl from the Sheng family in Fenglou last night, right?" Old Master Xi glanced at the Sheng father and daughter and said into the phone, "Ye Qingqing's mother and grandfather are here with me now. Do you want to talk to them? If not, I'll hang up now."
Ruan Qi chuckled.
"Sure." She sounded quite cheerful. "Grandpa Xi, could you please turn on the hands-free mode?"
Mr. Xi immediately turned on the hands-free function.
The little girl's soft voice came from the phone: "Hello, I'm Ruan Qi."
Sheng Lin had a short temper. Having been scolded by Old Master Xi, she was already filled with rage. Now, hearing Ruan Qi's unhurried voice and thinking of Ye Qingqing lying on the hospital bed, the nerve called rationality instantly snapped.
She suddenly rushed to the phone, "Ruan Qi! Did you do this? What on earth did you do to Qingqing? Believe it or not, I will call the police to arrest you right now!"
The moment Mr. Sheng pounced on Sheng Lin, he thought to himself, "Oh no!"
But Sheng Lin's movements were too fast, and his old arms and legs were unable to react at all. He could only watch his stupid daughter cursing at the phone.
