Chapter 951: Blatant Protection (Part 2)
Xi Jiu comforted Ruan Qi's wounded heart.
Not long after, Ruan Munan and Nie Beilou, who had disappeared for a day, also came back.
The little girl immediately put aside her sadness and threw herself into Nie Beilou's arms like a bird returning to the forest.
"Master, why are you so elusive every day? It's the same today again. No news from you all day. If I didn't know you wouldn't get lost, I would have called the police!"
Ruan Qi had just finished complaining when Nie Beilou hit her on the forehead.
"What nonsense!" He glared at the little girl, then lifted his clothes and sat down on the sofa.
It's already the end of July, and the capital is scorching hot. Everyone can't wait to run around naked on the streets every day.
But Nie Beilou was still wearing a dark red robe, long sleeves and long pants that covered him from head to toe.
Every time he goes out, his outfit always attracts strange looks from people. Coupled with his handsome and sharp appearance, he is often asked by young people if he is cosplaying the style of the Republic of China, otherwise why would he wear so much in the hot summer.
But Ruan Qi knew that Nie Beilou was not hot at all.
Because the seemingly inconspicuous dark red robe and white silk trousers are not made of ordinary materials, but are made of very rare ice silk.
This kind of ice silk is worth a thousand gold coins. When made into clothes, you can feel the silky coolness even in the scorching sun.
When Ruan Qi was little, her favorite thing to do in the summer was to run around the yard wrapped in her master's expensive long gown.
Later, seeing that she liked it, Nie Beilou set aside two bolts of ice silk fabric every year to make her pajamas and nightgowns. This habit continued for more than ten years and continues to this day.
Ruan Qi looked at Nie Beilou's noble long gown and couldn't help but recall her childhood.
She raised the corners of her lips happily, sat on the carpet like she did when she was a child, and clung to Nie Beilou's knees with her hands like a puppy.
"Master, what were you doing today? You didn't even answer my calls~"
Nie Beilou took a sip of tea, then lowered his sharp phoenix eyes to glance at her: "I'm with your Uncle Chu."
Uncle Chu?
Ruan Qi was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered the guess she had told Bai Li when they were in YL country some time ago.
Uncle Chu was a renowned psychiatrist. The last time Master brought her back to the sect, it was very likely that he and Uncle Chu had performed some kind of examination on her while she was in a deep sleep.
Uncle Chu is most likely the one who knows that she has lost a piece of memory.
So, was the master going to see Uncle Chu today because of her?
Master has been elusive these days, is he busy with this matter?
Ruan Qi was full of doubts and wanted to ask all of them.
But she also thought about Xi Jiu and Nie Beilou's attempts to conceal the truth...
Forget it, don’t ask for now. Master and Jiujiu will be worried.
…
Soon, Ruan Munan and Nie Heng worked together to prepare a sumptuous dinner.
While eating, Ruan Qi told the Sheng family about the phone call she had today.
"Serves them right!" Nie Heng was so excited that he almost threw the bowl at Da Hui's head. "If a son is not well-disciplined, it is the fault of the father. The Sheng family is largely responsible for Ye Qingqing's crooked appearance. The Sheng father and daughter deserve to be scolded by Master Xi! Master Xi did a great job!"
Ruan Munan's reaction was not as intense, but he nodded in agreement.
"We are all adults and should be responsible for our own actions. I have already sent a notice within Yunqi Group to terminate all cooperation with the Sheng family."
"Brother Nan did a great job!" Nie Heng waved his hand fiercely, "We will bully those who bully Senior Sister a hundredfold or a thousandfold! We will show no mercy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a large stainless steel teacup flew over and hit him on the head with a bang.
Nie Heng cried out "Ah!" and covered his head with his hands, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Master, why are you hitting me?"
"Don't talk while eating, and don't talk while sleeping." Nie Beilou gracefully withdrew his hand and gave him a cold look. "Have you learned all the manners?"
Nie Heng: "...Senior Sister and Brother Nan have also spoken, why don't you beat them up?"
"Mu Nan is not my disciple. Your senior sister is a girl." Nie Beilou said, raising his eyebrows slightly. "Not convinced? How about you take the hit for her?"
Nie Heng: “…”
He really has the lowest status in this family!
The little dog held the bowl of rice while crying, turning his grief and anger into strength.
Nie Beilou withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Xi Jiu who was sitting next to Ruan Qi.
"Xi family boy, what do you think about the Sheng family's affairs?"
"I don't want to watch it. It's an eyesore." Xi Jiu picked up a chicken drumstick and put it in Ruan Qi's bowl. "All Xi's businesses will no longer have any cooperation with the Sheng family. Especially the brand founded by Sheng Lin and her husband. It will be boycotted by everyone in the Xi family."
Nie Beilou raised an eyebrow. "The Xi family and the Sheng family have always been on good terms, and your father and Sheng Kuang are childhood friends. Aren't you afraid your father will be angry?"
"Father won't get angry with the family because of outsiders." Xi Jiu picked up another vegetable for the little girl and helped her drink the remaining juice.
After finishing his drink, he placed the cup on the table, raised his head, and looked at Nie Beilou with his dark eyes. He said calmly, "The Xi family is a wealthy and powerful family, and they don't need a partner from the Sheng family. Father and Sheng Kuang are indeed good friends, but this incident is the Sheng family's fault. Sheng Kuang is a sensible person and won't hold grudges against the Xi family for this."
"What's more, Sheng Kuang has long wanted to clean up the Sheng family. But he couldn't bring himself to do it out of concern for the two elders of the Sheng family. This incident also gave him a good opportunity."
"Until Sheng Kuang becomes the true head of the Sheng family, the Xi family will no longer have any cooperation with the Sheng family. This is what they deserve for bullying Xiao Qi."
In fact, Xi Jiu was still showing mercy.
If it weren't for Sheng Kuang's sake, he would have wanted to kick the entire Sheng family out of the imperial capital.
But things are pretty good now. The Sheng family will be severely damaged if they lose their cooperation with the Xi family. And the other members of the Sheng family who have lost their interests will definitely vent their resentment on Ye Qingqing.
Ye Qingqing's future will not be easy.
Nie Beilou was very satisfied with Xi Jiu's answer and handling method.
He curled his lips, and his face, which had been stern since last night, looked a little better.
"Eat, the food is getting cold."
…
After dinner, several men put the dishes into the dishwasher, and Baby Barley began to clean the kitchen without complaint.
Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu had just returned to the house after digesting their food in the yard when they were stopped by Nie Beilou.
"Xiao Qi, come here."
Ruan Qi walked over with a clatter.
"Sit down." Nie Beilou pointed to the sofa.
Ruan Qi sat on the sofa in a daze.
“Master…”
"Stretch out your wrist." Nie Beilou said again.
Ruan Qi stretched out her arms in confusion.
Nie Beilou pulled out a pulse pillow from under the coffee table, placed her wrist on it, and gently placed a few fingers on her pulse.
Ruan Munan and Nie Heng, who had just come out of the kitchen, and Xi Jiu in the living room saw this scene and their expressions changed slightly.
