Jun Wuwei was immediately displeased upon hearing her apology. "Jun Shu, why are you wasting your breath arguing with them? Get back to the company right now."
"Understood, Grandpa." Jun Shu nodded apologetically to them before leaving.
Qiao Xi couldn't help but wonder to herself, were she really sisters with Jun Jiuge? Their personalities were so different.
After the person left, Bai Zhanwang asked Qiao Xi with some questions, "Xi'er, he just said you let that guy named Jiu something go? What happened?"
"Jiuge is my classmate and also Grandpa Jun's granddaughter," Qiao Xi truthfully told him.
Bai Zhanwang nodded thoughtfully and said, "That's true. That girl seems to have been abroad all along, but she came back recently."
Qi Jili then sighed heavily and said, "It's been so many years."
“It must have been about ten years,” Bai Zhanwang continued.
"Why did you suddenly think of bringing her back?" Qi Jili looked at Bai Zhanwang with a puzzled expression.
Bai Zhanwang couldn't answer his question either; it was their family matter, how would he know?
"Xiao Xi, are you classmates with that girl?" Qi Jili suddenly asked.
"Yes." Qiao Xi nodded solemnly.
Qi Jili frowned and solemnly instructed Qiao Xi, "You two should keep a close eye on him and drive him crazy."
Qiao Xi, “…”
What grudge could there be that warrants such cruelty?
Qiao Xi couldn't help but get goosebumps, and asked them with a mixture of curiosity and doubt, "Grandpa, Grandpa, you and Grandpa Jun..."
“An old acquaintance,” Bai Zhanwang replied simply and directly.
Qi Jili didn't want to add anything. He stretched and said, looking a little tired, "Um... Xiaoxi, I should go back and rest. I get sleepy as I get older."
"Grandpa, let me see you off." Qiao Xi quickly went to help him.
Qi Jili smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No need, you can stay here and keep your grandfather company. Considering he gave me such a good granddaughter-in-law."
"Sigh, it's not easy at this age. All the good things have come to my house, hahaha." His laughter echoed throughout the corridor.
Bai Zhanwang turned green with anger upon hearing his words, "Qi Jili, you..."
"Grandpa, don't be angry." Qiao Xi quickly comforted him, but she was also embarrassed.
She never knew that her maternal grandfather and Old Master Qi had such a 'close' relationship. In her previous life, she did not know that they had such close interactions, especially since they were also friends with Master Jun.
Bai Zhanwang, still furious, touched his heart and said with a hint of relief, "It's a good thing you and Xiao Jin don't live with him, otherwise you would have been corrupted by him."
Qiao Xi gently patted his back to comfort him, afraid that he would get really angry. "Grandpa, Grandpa is just a cheerful person."
Bai Zhanwang was displeased when he heard Qiao Xi defend Qi Jili. He said, "Xi girl, you've only been married for a short time and you're already speaking up for him."
Qiao Xi laughed and joked with him, "Grandpa, you definitely know Grandpa better than I do, don't you?"
"Sigh..." Bai Zhangwang sighed heavily. If he hadn't spent so many years 'fighting and joking' with them and known their 'character', he would have been driven to death by them sooner or later.
Just as Qiao Xi was thinking about how to continue comforting him, Qi Jincheng came over and said, "Grandpa."
"Hmm." Bai Zhanwang was a little less angry when he saw him. Although he was a member of the Qi family, he was, after all, his acknowledged grandson-in-law, so he was bound to become more and more pleasing to the eye the more he looked at him.
Qiao Xi saw him as if he were her savior, "Ah Jin, have you finished talking with your uncle?"
"Mm." Qi Jincheng nodded.
Bai Zhanwang squinted at the time on his wristwatch, clicked his tongue, and said, "Alright, you guys do as you please, I should go back now."
"Grandpa, let us take you home." Qiao Xi saw that he was alone and was definitely worried about letting him go home by himself.
Bai Zhanwang replied ungratefully, "The driver is waiting outside."
“Then we…” Before Qiao Xi could say she would see him out, Bai Zhanwang said defiantly, “No need, I’m not at the point where I need a nanny just to go out.”
Qiao Xi kept reminding him, "Take care, and let me know when you get home."
"Okay, okay." Bai Zhanwang waved his hands repeatedly, but he was still very pleased with himself.
The elevator doors opened, and Bai Xuelin happened to be inside. When he saw Bai Zhanwang, he immediately and respectfully made way for him, saying, "Dad."
"Where's Xiuyan?" Bai Zhanwang asked, seeing that he was alone, since he knew Xiuyan was there.
Their father-son relationship had been somewhat strained in recent years, but he also knew that Bai Xuelin had visited his residence a few days ago. Fortunately, he was not kicked out, and their relationship had eased somewhat.
Since the younger brother is here, the older brother must have seen him before.
Bai Xuelin hadn't told Bai Zhanwang that Bai Xiuyan was here, but since he was asking now, he must know, so he couldn't hide it from him anymore. "He should be staying here tonight."
"What is he trying to do?" Bai Zhanwang suddenly scolded.
Bai Xuelin asked, not quite having time to react, "Dad, what are you saying?"
"Don't play dumb with me." Bai Zhanwang angrily questioned, "The person who spent 310 million to bid for the Tear of Eternity is him, isn't he?"
Before, I didn't know Bai Xiuyan was there, so I couldn't be sure who was behind it. Now that I know he's here, it must be him.
"Dad..." Bai Xuelin dared not deny it, but he also couldn't admit it directly.
The elevator stopped at the VIP parking lot on the basement level. As soon as the doors opened, Bai Zhanwang got off first.
Outside were bodyguards and staff from Tianfu No. 1. When they saw Bai Zhanwang and Bai Xuelin, they all bowed at a 60-degree angle to see them off.
Bai Zhanwang didn't give them a friendly look either, and got into the car in a huff, followed by Bai Xuelin.
"He's the one who made that host say those things!" Bai Zhanwang was fixated on this matter; he was determined to get to the bottom of it today. "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
"Oh dear." Bai Xuelin was helplessly caught in the middle of them and could only tell the truth, "Dad, you know Xiuyan's temper. He's just trying to get revenge after being wronged."
Bai Zhanwang knew his youngest son well; there weren't many people in the capital who could make him suffer, and even those old foxes were no match for him.
Now that he's targeting his granddaughter's husband so much, could it be that he suffered a loss at his hands?
Bai Zhanwang asked with slight surprise, "You suffered a loss at the hands of my granddaughter's husband?"
Bai Xuelin chuckled softly as he thought of that incident, "To be precise, we suffered a loss at Xi Ya's hands."
"Is that so?" Bai Zhanwang looked surprised. He immediately became interested and urged him anxiously, "Tell me about it quickly."
