Chapter 429 There Will Never Be Another Time in Her Life
Old Qi is a trouble, and Qianyuan Villa is also a huge trouble.
Xu Yu was very clear about this from the very beginning. He was busy from beginning to end just to get what he was interested in. He was not interested in anything else.
The things hidden in Qianyuan Villa have been obtained, and the promised price has been paid in full. With one hand in and one hand in, the payment should be settled, and there will be no more entanglements. From now on, we will just be strangers.
But Mr. Qi broke the rules.
He shouldn't be here after poisoning two imperial envoys.
There was murderous intent in Xu Yu's eyes that he did not hide at all, but Old Qi did not even bother to look at him. All his eyes were focused on Sang Zhixia.
Sang Zhixia felt a little uneasy when she saw the bloodshot in his eyes. She put the tea she had poured down next to Qi Lao and said helplessly, "You risked your life to come here. Is there something you haven't said yet?"
Qi Lao's throat rolled violently, and he took a deep breath and said in a hoarse voice: "I shouldn't have come to you at this time, and I was afraid of causing you trouble, but..."
"If you don't come soon, I'm afraid it will be too late."
Unlike the vicious and murderous look he showed towards Xu Yu, Old Qi treated Sang Zhixia like an ordinary elder, with a gentle tone and soft eyes. He was like a completely different person.
Bai Ziqing secretly sighed that he had seen the world again. He nudged Xu Yu with his arm and said in a barely audible voice, "I can see that the old man dislikes you the most."
"How great is the hatred and resentment?"
Xu Yu ignored his teasing and said decisively the moment Qi Lao opened his mouth, "No!"
Like a frightened beast, Xu Yu immediately pulled Sang Zhixia up and protected her behind him. He looked at Old Qi with icy eyes, and said with a chill in his voice, "Old man, don't go too far."
"You just poisoned the imperial envoy. Bai Chengren is digging the ground looking for you, and I don't know how many dogs are chasing after your daughter, waiting to smell the scent."
"You haven't even solved your own problems yet, and now you're trying to drag unrelated people into this mess. What are you thinking?"
It's pitiful that Qi Yan'er's life is hanging by a thread.
But there are so many pitiful people in the world, who deserves more sympathy than who?
Xu Yu believed that he had done his best for the father and daughter of the Qi family, and Sang Zhixia had done everything he could. If there was anything more left, it would be pure encroachment!
Qi Lao was not surprised by Xu Yu's refusal without hesitation. He rarely retaliated, but simply said in a hoarse voice, "Before I found Yan'er, I knew I was powerless to save her, and I didn't want to see her suffer any longer. I thought that the sooner I set off, the sooner I could be free."
"But after meeting her, I realized that I couldn't bear to let her go."
That was a daughter who was raised and pampered, and even the slightest injury to her since childhood would make her old father so distressed that he could not sleep in the middle of the night, and he hated that he could not take her place.
But such a delicate girl suffered so much in places where no one can see...
Mr. Qi closed his eyes, unable to bear the thought, and despite his efforts, his voice was still trembling uncontrollably: "I can't bear to let her go, but I can't keep her."
"I really can't keep it anymore."
Qi Yan'er's breath of hope has dissipated. No matter what rare treasures or peerless medicines she has, it will be useless no matter how much she has.
Mr. Qi originally wanted to wait quietly until the last moment, but Qi Yan'er was already unconscious and was still trying hard to make a sound.
Qi Yan'er said that she wanted to see Sang Zhixia again.
Xu Yu suppressed his anger and said, "Ms. Qi has long lost her voice. How could she say such a thing?"
"I think you are..."
"She can't say it, but her father can hear it and see it."
Old Qi interrupted Xu Yu with a sad smile, looking at him with gratitude, and said self-deprecatingly, "If Yan'er heard that someone still called her Miss Qi, she would probably be happy."
Xu Yu was so angry that he said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense."
"You can't get her out, so you want to take mine away. Do you think my wife is a bodhisattva who saves people from suffering, and that the Buddha's light will shine on your doorstep whenever there's nothing to do?"
"But to my Yan'er, what's the difference between her and a Bodhisattva?"
Old Qi bore all of Xu Yu's wrath, his smile revealing lingering fatigue: "Girl, I know it's presumptuous of me to ask this, but..."
"It's just that my Yan'er really can't hold on any longer."
If there was no other way, Mr. Qi would not come to Sang Zhixia at this time.
But as a father, my heart really can't bear it anymore.
So even though I knew I would be rejected, even though I knew I was forcing others to do what I wanted, I didn't care.
Perhaps fearing that Sang Zhixia would be embarrassed, Old Qi slowly exhaled, stood up and said, "If you agree, I will kowtow to you now to express my gratitude."
"If you don't want to agree, then I won't kneel, so as not to embarrass you."
"Girl, I...will help my Yan'er one last time. She won't have another chance in her life."
A flash of tears passed through Old Qi's eyes. Xu Yu gritted his teeth and wanted to take Sang Zhixia away, but his hand was held down by Sang Zhixia as soon as he stretched it out.
With their fingers clasped together, Xu Yu's eyes were filled with anxiety: "Zhizhi, I..."
"don’t worry."
Sang Zhixia's fingertips gently slid across his palm, and she spoke softly, "Mr. Qi, please sit down first. I'll discuss this with my husband and will be back soon."
Old Qi nodded vigorously with red eyes, watching Sang Zhixia walk out with Xu Yu. His hands on the table were filled with shattered wood chips.
Bai Ziqing took a look at the unrecognizable mahogany table, sighed silently, and sat there in silence.
In the small courtyard, Sang Zhixia raised her index finger to block Xu Yu's lips without waiting for him to finish his words.
Xu Yu's eyes showed helplessness. He opened his mouth, bit her finger, and said softly, "Zhizhi, this..."
"You're worried that the people from Qianyuan Villa will get on with me and cause me more trouble in the future, not that there's a risk in my meeting with Qi Yan'er, right?"
It's just a meeting, it won't take up much time.
Moreover, Bai Chengren fainted and has not woken up yet. The Shu land has become a mess without a leader. At this time, there is actually not much danger to be seen.
Xu Yu did it on purpose.
Sang Zhixia quickly interrupted Xu Yu to say what he was about to say, and blinked after he finished speaking, as if asking himself if what he said was right.
Xu Yu was so angry that he laughed. He poked Sang Zhixia's nose and gritted his teeth: "You know everything, why don't you let me prove this villain?"
"Zhizhi, Miss Qi has suffered a tragic fate, but Qianyuan Villa and the old man inside are very troublesome and extremely difficult to deal with."
If Qianyuan Villa has already died, then there is nothing wrong in lending a hand.
But it is not.
These people poisoned the imperial envoy and rescued Qi Jie in a ruthless, decisive, meticulous and efficient manner. Their comeback was far beyond Xu Yu's initial expectations.
With such a group of crazy lunatics gathered together, anyone who noticed something wrong would be a potential risk to Sang Zhixia.
Xu Yu didn't want to take any risk at all.
Xu Yu even blurted out, "At worst, we can just assign Lingchu to him."
"Lingchu's disguise skills are unparalleled. Even if I find someone to pretend to be you, it will be the same if I go there."
Sang Zhixia said with a smile: "Isn't that a lie?"
"What's wrong with lying?"
Xu Yu forced the corners of his mouth to droop, and said with a straight face, "You've done your utmost, so don't overthink it."
"They say a woman should obey her husband after marriage. Do you understand?"
Sang Zhixia's eyebrows flew up at the words "marry and obey your husband". She stood on tiptoe and pinched the tip of Xu Yu's nose, then rested her forehead on his shoulder and said softly, "I don't want to be obedient."
"Xu Yu, it's not that I have too much sympathy, but seeing Mr. Qi in such a state, I can't bear it."
"Perhaps because I've never been so cherished by my parents, I envy their so-called fatherly love and don't want to let this wish go unfulfilled."
I don't want to save anyone.
Just complement each other.
To fulfill Mr. Qi's love for his daughter, and to experience for himself the love between a father and his daughter that he had never seen before.
Just meeting once, it can be accomplished.
