Qiao Bo's voice was not low, and Shangguan Wu and the other two heard it.
Shangguan Wu stopped and looked at Qiao Bo.
Grandpa Qi narrowed his eyes. It's better to arrive at the right time than early. He had just lost the things he had prepared for the brat and was planning not to give them to her. Now, it was just like a pillow being delivered to someone who was about to fall asleep.
Brilliant!
Grandpa Qi smiled.
When Old Master Huang saw his smile, he knew that everything was settled.
Qiao Bo covered his phone and asked in a low voice, "Fourth Young Madam, there are two people outside who claim to be elders of the Ji family and want to see you. Do you want to see them?"
"not see."
Just as Shangguan Wu finished speaking, Old Master Qi asked, "The old man from the Ji family has arrived?"
"You know him?" Shangguan Wu asked in surprise.
Grandpa Huang twisted his neck and said, "If they come over, I won't be sleepy anymore."
Is this some kind of trouble-making scheme?
Shangguan Wu's eyes were shining as she looked at Master Huang.
"Go sit in the middle." Old Master Qi tapped her on the head and said to Uncle Qiao, "Let them in."
Shangguan Wu sat in the center of the sofa.
Grandpa Qi and Grandpa Huang each sat on a single sofa.
Shangguan Wu blinked, trying to get up: "Grandpa Village Chief, you two sit in the middle, I..."
Grandpa Qi: "Just sit down when I tell you to. Don't be so polite."
Grandpa Huang: "This is your home, it's very appropriate for you to sit in the middle."
The two old men made the decision quickly through their back-and-forth conversation.
Shangguan Wu sat up straight again, now quite certain that the two elders were really up to something.
Not long after, Uncle Qiao led Ji Liansheng and Ji Lianju into the villa.
The Gu family patriarch had long since passed away, and there were no collateral branches. The family head, Gu Qingyu, was a generation younger than the Ji family elders. Therefore, Ji Liansheng and Ji Lianju both acted like elders, with stern faces and the demeanor of big shots, as they entered the Gu family.
But as I walked into the living room, I immediately saw the real big boss sitting on the sofa...
Ji Liansheng and Ji Lianju suddenly fell silent.
They really wanted to turn around and leave.
If the other party can pretend they didn't see them.
Ji Liansheng was even more terrified. Why was Shangguan Wu sitting in the middle? What was her relationship with Elder Qi?
Ji Lianju was wondering if his mouth was blessed. How could he have stumbled upon something with such a 0.1% chance?
Grandpa Qi looked at them with a smile: "What, don't you recognize me?"
A smiling tiger smiles!
Reporting to the King of Hell!
When Ji Liansheng thought of those words, his legs trembled involuntarily. He lowered his eyes, not daring to meet their gaze, and cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "Greetings, Elder Qi."
Then, he cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to the other side and said, "Greetings, Elder Huang."
Ji Lianju belatedly followed his cousin in paying his respects.
He was filled with regret. He should have turned back at the airport. Even if he was laughed at, it would have been better than being watched by the living devil now!
Shangguan Wu was utterly shocked!
She knew that everyone in Hakuin Village was a big shot, extraordinary in terms of reputation, status, and skills.
She assumed that people outside respected them as much as Uncle Mi and other leaders did.
But she clearly sensed a trace of fear from these two Ji family elders.
How could there be fear?
Grandpa Village Chief has a very kind smile, although someone always seems to suffer when he smiles like that.
Old Master Qi said coolly, "I heard you came to cause trouble for my granddaughter?"
Ji Liansheng felt a chill run down his spine. He had a vague guess in his mind, but he wasn't sure. He asked, "May I ask who your granddaughter is?"
Old Master Qi snorted coldly: "Can't you even see that? Are you blind?"
Ji Liansheng thought to himself, "Can this even be viewed?"
Your surname is Qi, and Shangguan Wu's surname is Shangguan. How could you be grandfather and grandson when you are not even related?
Unfortunately, he didn't dare to refute it.
If Elder Qi says yes, then it must be.
"I'm sorry, I'm old and my eyesight is not good. Please forgive me, Elder Qi and Miss Shangguan."
Ji Liansheng was a respected elder in the Ji family and in Xizhou City.
But now he's bowing down to apologize, and he doesn't dare to complain at all.
Old Master Qi scoffed coldly: "Hmph, is an apology all you need to say?"
Ji Liansheng immediately shook his head and said, "No, I will send someone to present you two with generous gifts as an apology."
"I don't need it."
Old Master Qi turned his head and asked Shangguan Wu directly, "What kind of gift do you want?"
Shangguan Wu blinked twice, then thought about it seriously: "Can I take people?"
Ji Liansheng was taken aback.
Old Master Qi asked, puzzled, "What do you need people for?"
Grandpa Huang was also looking at her.
Shangguan Wu replied matter-of-factly, "To help my husband!"
Old Master Qi: "..."
Grandpa Huang looked away.
"I wonder how many people Miss Shangguan wants?" Ji Liansheng was worried that she would take advantage of Old Master Qi's presence and make exorbitant demands.
Shangguan Wu cleared his throat: "Ahem, regarding the number of people, may I discuss this with your family head personally?"
Ji Liansheng was not expected to hear her say that, and fell silent for a moment.
Grandpa Qi asked, knowing the answer already, "Aren't you the current head of your family?"
Ji Liansheng felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart, but he forced a smile: "It wasn't me. The head of the family is my eldest brother's youngest son, Ji Mingjing. Since becoming the head of the family, Mingjing has propelled the Ji family's business to new heights."
Grandpa Qi wasn't interested in the young man and said to Shangguan Wu, "But the Ji family members are all useless. Do you need anything else? Those two old guys have plenty of good stuff."
Ji Liansheng and Ji Lianju felt like vomiting blood.
What do you mean the Ji family members are all useless?
They now only hope that Shangguan Wu, being a junior, will be embarrassed to ask them for more gifts.
However, Shangguan Wu wasn't embarrassed at all and asked curiously, "Do you have any ancient paintings?"
Ji Liansheng had no choice but to look at his cousin, Ji Lianju.
Ji Lianju said with a heavy heart, "I have collected five ancient paintings. When I return to Xizhou City, I will send someone to deliver them to Miss Shangguan."
Thank you!
Shangguan Wu smiled so much that her eyes curved into crescent shapes.
Grandpa Qi suddenly yawned.
Ji Liansheng knew this meant they were to go back, so he took the initiative to say, "Elder Qi, my cousin and I won't disturb you and Elder Huang's rest any longer. We'll be leaving now."
Grandpa Qi gave a faint "hmm".
After bowing and leaving the living room, Ji Liansheng and Ji Lianju turned and hurriedly left the Gu residence.
Once they were in the car, the two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But their ashen expressions clearly showed how much pain they had felt from the recent heavy bleeding.
Ji Lianju said angrily, "Brother, why were you looking at me just now? You made me lose five ancient paintings for nothing! Do you know how much they're worth?"
Ji Liansheng was stunned for a moment, then said speechlessly, "Are you stupid? Didn't you know to say there was only one painting?"
Ji Lianju: "..."
"With that living Yama looking at me, how can I lie? What if he sees through my lie?"
Ji Lianju would never admit that he was wrong; the fault always lay with others: "In short, you shouldn't have looked at me!"
Ji Liansheng cursed himself as an idiot.
"Forget about your painting, hurry up and think about how to discuss giving it away with the head of the family later!"
