Chapter 955: Changing Ruan Qi's Surname (Update 1)
In the end, it was Shengkuang who took the initiative to step forward.
"Xiao Qi, we meet again."
Unlike the ease when they first met in Fenglou the night before, today's occasion was somewhat restrained, and even the greetings were a bit awkward.
Ruan Qi, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened and called out "Uncle Sheng" with a smile.
Shengkuang looked at the bright smile on the little girl's face and felt less restrained.
He let out a sigh of relief and was about to speak when he heard Mr. Xi's booming laughter.
"Is Xiaoqi here?"
Everyone turned around and saw Old Man Xi, who had disappeared for several hours, miraculously appear at the entrance of the hall.
When Ruan Qi saw Mr. Xi, she immediately smiled and trotted over.
"Grandpa Xi~" she called sweetly.
Mr. Xi immediately smiled as if he was covered in honey, and even a few more wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes.
"Little Qi, are you tired after coming all the way here? The sun is so strong outside, did you get sunburned? Oh, why is your face a little red? Did you not wear sunscreen?"
Wow, the old man actually knows how to apply sunscreen!
Ruan Qi couldn't help but laugh out loud, and she obediently took the old man's arm and said, "Grandpa Xi, I'm not hot. It's cool in the car. Butler Gong even bought me ice cream."
"Eating ice cream? Good, good, Gong kid did a great job!" Old Master Xi gave Gong Qi an appreciative look, then patted the little girl on the head, "Xiao Qi, have dinner here tonight. Let Chef Chen make your favorite dish!"
Ruan Qi didn't act pretentiously and responded sweetly with "OK".
Everyone in the Sheng family was almost stunned by the interaction between the old man and the young.
They all knew that the Xi family liked Ruan Qi very much, but they didn't expect that Grandpa Xi really treated Ruan Qi as his own granddaughter!
Judging from his attitude, if Ruan Qi couldn't change her surname, he would have changed her surname to Xi?!
Everyone in the Sheng family was shocked, and at the same time, they felt a little gloomy in their hearts.
The more the Xi family values Ruan Qi, the more difficult it will be for them. Ruan Qi is capable and has a strong backer, so can a simple apology and self-criticism make her let Ye Qingqing go?
Everyone in the Sheng family was in a heavy mood, but Old Master Xi was extremely happy.
He took the little girl's wrist and led her to sit on the main seat on the sofa.
"Xiao Qi, these are the Sheng family. You know Sheng Kuang, and the one next to him is..."
"I am Sheng Jianan, Sheng Kuang's elder brother." Sheng Jianan spoke quickly.
Although he was almost forty years older than Ruan Qi, he did not dare to be negligent in his attitude.
"Hello, Mr. Sheng." Ruan Qi smiled faintly and nodded.
Sheng Jianan couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his palms.
Although the other person was only twenty years old, he somehow felt like he was facing a dignified elder. Even Sheng Jianan had never experienced that kind of intense psychological pressure when facing his own father.
This girl is not simple.
Sheng Jianan sighed inwardly, then pulled himself together and introduced Ruan Qi: "Miss Ruan, this is my second sister, Sheng Lin."
Ruan Qi looked at the legendary mother of Ye Qingqing, the pampered eldest daughter of the Sheng family.
She looked 50% similar to Ye Qingqing, and judging by the condition of her skin, she must have taken good care of herself. But perhaps because she had been worrying too much recently, her whole body revealed fatigue and haggardness.
But even so, her usual arrogance and sharpness can still be seen.
Ruan Qi looked at her, raised an eyebrow, and said nothing.
When Sheng Lin looked at the girl who made her daughter's life worse than death, her heart and eyes seemed to be filled with poison, and she wished to tear her apart alive.
Sheng Jianan noticed her gaze, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly stepped forward to block her sight.
"Ms. Ruan, let me introduce him again. This is my second brother-in-law, Ye Liang." He changed the subject.
Ruan Qi looked at the man standing next to Sheng Lin and greeted him distantly.
Sheng Jianan: "Miss Ruan, this is my father..."
"I'll do it myself." Old Master Sheng interrupted his son.
He stood up with the help of a cane, and looked straight at Ruan Qi with his sharp old eyes.
Ruan Qi raised her eyebrows and looked back at him without any pressure, her smiling expression unchanged.
The old man and the young man stared at each other for nearly half a minute. Finally, Mr. Sheng was the first to look away.
He sighed tiredly, "Miss Ruan is indeed a young person to be feared."
Ruan Qi's smile remained unchanged: "Mr. Sheng, thank you for your praise. Your granddaughter is quite good too."
How could Mr. Sheng not hear that she was speaking sarcastically? He couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.
"Miss Ruan, Qingqing's situation is due to our Sheng family's failure to educate her properly. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble. We came here today with 100% sincerity. I hope you can see..."
Having said that, Mr. Sheng paused.
He originally wanted to say, "For the sake of the long-term friendship between the Xi and Sheng families," but when he thought of Mr. Xi and Xi Jiu's extreme protection of Ruan Qi, he couldn't say it.
Mr. Sheng was stuck in embarrassment, not knowing how to continue.
Ruan Qi understood what he wanted to express.
She laughed.
"Mr. Sheng may be worrying too much. I'm a man who keeps his promises. I made it very clear on the phone yesterday. As long as Ye Qingqing bows 90 degrees to apologize and posts a 5,000-word self-reflection in the group, this matter will be over."
"So, you don't have to worry about me taking advantage of Grandpa Xi and the others to do whatever I want. I'm not that kind of person~"
Old Master Sheng didn't expect Ruan Qi to expose his little thoughts so bluntly, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
He coughed awkwardly, "Miss Ruan is quick to speak, I was mistaken. In that case, let Qingqing apologize first."
After saying that, he winked at Sheng Jianan.
Sheng Jianan immediately made a phone call.
Less than two minutes after the call ended, several people who looked like bodyguards walked into the Xi family mansion carrying a stretcher.
There was a person lying on the stretcher, covered with a quilt all over his body. It must be Ye Qingqing.
"Ms. Ruan, Qingqing is unable to move now and can only be carried in this way. Please forgive her." Sheng Jianan said politely.
Ruan Qi nodded without surprise.
Considering the extent of the toxins in Ye Qingqing's body, it would be a miracle if she could still be alive and well.
Several bodyguards placed the stretcher on the carpet in the middle of the hall.
Sheng Jianan walked over and grabbed the bed sheet covering Ye Qingqing's head.
When Ruan Qi saw the color of the bed sheet, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.
The Sheng family are all talented people. She's not dead yet, but they've already covered her head with a white sheet. This is because Ye Qingqing is in a coma. If she were awake, she'd probably be furious to death seeing this sheet.
Sheng Jianan had no idea what Ruan Qi was complaining about.
He grabbed a corner of the white bed sheet and said apologetically, "Mr. Xi, Ms. Ruan, Qingqing has ulcers all over her body and her face looks a little scary. Please forgive her."
After saying that, he raised his wrist and the white bed sheet was completely opened.
Mr. Xi took a deep breath.
