The old man's words made Jiang Qi silent.
"Among the several wealthy families, only our family and the Ji family have few members, with only one child."
The Lin family and other wealthy families all have many children.
"The Ji family has a Ji Qi. As long as he is here, the Ji family will always be at its peak. Not only the Lin family, but also our family will not dare to provoke him."
"But the Jiang family only has you. What happens to the Jiang family in the next few decades depends on you."
Jiang Qi looked at the old man. His back had become hunched over the years, his hair was white, and the years had left deep marks on him.
Jiang Qi was touched when he met the old man's expectant eyes.
He knew in his heart that his father was not a very capable person, and the Jiang family had only been maintaining stability in recent years.
Jiang Qi realized that he had to take over the family business.
Just like this incident, he was dissatisfied with Lin Xuan, but he was not in charge of the group and had no manpower, so he could not fundamentally attack the Lin family.
Not to mention freedom and absolute autonomy, the ease and comfort of the past few years are also the result of the old man's hard work.
"You are a capable child, no worse than Ji Qi."
The old man was well aware of this, but he also knew Jiang Qi's stubbornness and rebelliousness, so he had never forced him over the years.
"Grandpa." Jiang Qi said seriously, "I'll go to the company starting tomorrow."
Jiang Qi made a decision.
The old man's eyes were filled with relief. He stood up tremblingly and patted Jiang Qi's shoulder gently, "Just think it through."
"But Jiang Qi, besides your career, Grandpa also hopes that you can cherish the person in front of you. You don't hate Xiaoyi, right?"
He still remembered that when Xu Lingyi first came to the Jiang family, Jiang Qi liked this little sister very much.
Jiang Qi has a deep rebellious nature. The more others force him to do something, the more he resists.
Jiang Qi should have joined the company a long time ago, but because of his personality, it has been delayed until today.
“Sometimes you have to really ask your own heart, instead of doing things that go against your own will just for the sake of anger or so-called freedom.”
The old man also didn't think that Jiang Qi had no feelings for Xu Lingyi.
If he really hated her, why did Jiang Qi have a cold face today and why did he want to deal with Lin Xuan?
Jiang Qi didn't say anything. Tonight was one of the few long conversations between the grandfather and grandson.
The old man has always been very busy managing the Jiang Group and only retired in recent years. Not only him, but Xu Lingyi also had very little time to spend with him in the past.
He doesn't go home often.
"Think carefully about what Grandpa said. Grandpa hopes that Xiaoyi and I can live a good life, support each other, and manage the company well. It would be best if you could have a child. That way, Grandpa can rest in peace even if he dies."
Jiang Qi was silent for a long time.
He is willing to manage the company, but... he doesn't want to be bound by marriage.
He had never thought about getting married, let alone having children in his life.
Marriage means responsibility and constraints, but Jiang Qi has always liked freedom.
In Jiang Qi's opinion, managing the company is his biggest concession.
"Grandpa, I will take good care of her, don't worry."
During the time they spent together, although he sometimes spoke to her rudely.
But Jiang Qi had to admit that he no longer hated her.
Perhaps after nearly twenty years of living together, he regarded her as a younger sister deep down in his heart.
So he would take care of her, treat her as a member of the Jiang family, and protect her like an older brother.
But he will not have a wife.

"Mr. Ji?"
Xu Lingyi was surprised when she "accidentally" bumped into Ji Qi.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Xu Lingyi quickly apologized. She knew about Ji Qi's strange illness, so she immediately took two steps back.
"It's okay." Ji Qi shook his head, feeling a little disappointed.
He didn't want to be so far away from Xu Lingyi.
"But what about your clothes?"
The coffee in Xu Lingyi's hand spilled onto Ji Qi's clothes.
Ji Qi shook his head gently, "Just ask the assistant to send another one."
Originally, today's encounter was deliberately designed by Ji Qi.
After deciding to get Xu Lingyi, he knew all her whereabouts.
Ji Qi thought clearly, he wanted her heart.
As long as she likes him too, Jiang Qi is nothing.
"It's just a piece of clothing, Miss Xu, don't worry."
Hearing him say this, Xu Lingyi seemed to be relieved. She mustered up her courage and said, "Mr. Ji, thank you for what happened last time."
Ji Qi stared at her for two seconds. She seemed to think of their contact that day. Her face looked a little uncomfortable and her ears turned slightly red.
Ji Qi also immediately thought of what happened that day, or rather, he had been thinking about that day all the time these days.
I always think of Xu Lingyi's face in my dreams at night.
In reality, in her eyes, they were almost strangers.
In his dream, Ji Qiquan did all the things that he could not do to her openly.
His Adam's apple slid up and down, his eyes filled with a hint of smile, which was fleeting. "Thank you, won't you treat me to a meal?"
Xu Lingyi was slightly stunned, as if she didn't expect Ji Qi to laugh.
————
"This restaurant is pretty good." Ji Qi said, and he handed the menu to Xu Lingyi. "What do you want to eat?"
"Okay." The moment Xu Lingyi took the menu.
Ji Qi's hand accidentally touched Xu Lingyi's hand again.
"Sorry." Xu Lingyi apologized again.
Ji Qi's mouth curled up slightly. He thought she was too cute and simple.
