Hearing Qiqi's words, Grandpa Jiang's face showed reluctance and hesitation.
But in the end, his expression hardened.
"More than her temporary sadness, I hope she can be happy for the rest of her life."
Qiqi: ……
You burned all the keepsakes left to her by the person she loved most; there's no way she'd be happy about that.
Ultimately, however, Grandpa Jiang is the true owner of this piano.
He has the right to dispose of it!
"After you've finished sending your dreams to your children, if you still need help dealing with this, I'll help you then."
"good."
After dealing with things here, Qiqi dragged Ji Jinyou away from the Jiang family.
At the Ji family home, with Qiqi not present, Madam Ji had little appetite and kept glancing towards the door.
Upon hearing the maid call out, "Miss Qiqi is back," she immediately stood up from her chair and hurriedly walked towards the entrance.
Before they even arrived, they heard a servant's astonished voice, "My God, what's wrong with Fifth Young Master?"
At this point, everyone in the restaurant couldn't sit still and quickly got up and gathered around.
The maid carried the unconscious Ji Jinyou in, followed by the bouncy Qiqi.
"Qibao, what's going on?" Ji Chengfeng bypassed his son and went directly to his little girl.
He knelt down and hugged her small body, carefully looking her over from head to toe. He breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that she was unharmed. He then turned his concerned gaze to Ji Jinyou, who was still unconscious and had been placed on the sofa by the maid.
Madam Ji also examined Ji Jinyou, confirming that he had no external injuries, and then asked, "Qibao, what happened to your fifth brother? Where did he take you? How did he end up like this?"
"Mom and Dad, don't worry, Fifth Brother just fainted from fright, he's alright."
"Where did you all run off to? How could you faint from fright?"
Qiqi gestured with her hands, "Fifth Brother took me to explore that villa by the lake. There was a Grandpa Jiang in the villa, and his head fell off and landed at Fifth Brother's feet, which scared him so much that he fainted!"
Qiqi spoke clearly and quickly explained the matter.
After hearing this, Madam Ji was both amused and exasperated.
The Jiang family's villa by the lake is a notorious haunted house in this villa area.
What was Xiao Wu thinking, taking Qi Qi there?
Most importantly, while Qiqi may not be afraid of ghosts, he might not be!
"Xiao You, Xiao You?" Madam Ji gently patted Ji Jinyou's cheek, trying to wake him up.
Ji Jinyou hummed twice and groggily opened his eyes.
After a brief moment of confusion, a glint of black light flashed in his eyes and disappeared.
Qiqi saw it clearly, so she pulled Madam Ji, who was about to step forward to show concern, and squeezed her head in.
"Fifth Brother, you're awake! Do you remember what happened?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Jinyou's eyes flickered, and he clutched his head. "Ouch, my head hurts so much, and my body hurts too. Why can't I remember anything? Sister, weren't we at the lakeside villa? How did we suddenly come back?"
Madam Ji looked at him with concern. What was wrong with the child? Had he hurt his head?
Qiqi, on the other hand, remained calm, shaking her head and saying in her childish voice, "There was a really scary old man in the villa by the lake. Fifth Brother was so scared he fainted. Then Daddy came and brought us back!"
Ji Chengfeng: ...
Did he bring them back?
How could he not know?
But when he saw his little girl blinking her eyes at him frantically, Ji Chengfeng immediately realized what was happening and nodded.
"Yes, that's right, I'm the one who brought you back."
Ji Chengfeng looked at Ji Jinyou with a stern face, "Xiaoyou, what's wrong with you? How could you take your sister to such a dangerous place? If your father hadn't come to find you today, something terrible would have happened, you know that?"
Ji Chengfeng rarely disciplined his children, especially not in such a stern tone.
So Ji Jinyou was a little stunned, seemingly unsure how to react.
That blank look made Ji Chengfeng feel that something was inexplicably wrong.
"Alright, the child has just woken up. You should say less and let them eat first," Madam Ji said, trying to smooth things over for Ji Jinyou.
Ji Jinyou immediately smiled gratefully at Madam Ji, acting like a child, "Mom is so good to us!"
Madam Ji: ...
Now, even she could sense that something was off about Ji Jinyou.
Just as she was about to say something, she saw her little girl winking at her.
Although she didn't understand what her youngest daughter meant, Madam Ji tacitly kept quiet.
"Alright, you're all grown up, stop acting like a child. Hurry up and take your little sister to eat, I've saved some good food for you."
As soon as Qiqi heard about dinner, she cheered and ran towards the restaurant.
The whole family went over together in a lively atmosphere.
With Qiqi, the little foodie, joining in, everyone else enjoyed their food even more.
After dinner, Madam Ji and Ji Chengfeng found an excuse and dragged Qiqi directly into the bedroom.
Even Qiqi's desire to give Huo Yusen acupuncture first was not permitted.
In the bedroom, Ji Chengfeng and his wife flanked Qiqi on either side.
"Qibao, tell your mother honestly, what exactly happened to your fifth brother?" Madam Ji grabbed her right arm and pulled her over.
Just as Qiqi was about to answer, her left arm was tugged again.
"Qibao, is this Xiaoyou really Xiaoyou? He doesn't seem like it to me."
Especially during meals, he deliberately picked up a piece of food that Ji Jinyou would never normally eat to test him.
In the past, even if Ji Jinyou didn't eat it, he would just pick it out and throw it aside.
But tonight, he glanced at himself.
Even now, when Ji Chengfeng thinks back to that one look, he still feels a chill run down his spine.
That's not the look a child should have.
Cold and indifferent, like a venomous snake hiding in the grass, waiting for the right moment to bite!
Qiqi blinked, about to shake her head, when Madam Ji pulled her away again.
"Hey, can you wait until Qi Bao finishes answering my question before you ask it!"
"No, I'm just in a hurry!"
Qiqi was being pulled and dragged around by the two of them, turning back and forth like a roly-poly toy, until she got dizzy.
He simply swung his arm and exclaimed, "Hey, Mom and Dad, you actually only have one question to ask!"
She looked at Madam Ji and said, "Fifth Brother has been possessed by a hungry ghost. The Fifth Brother we know now is not the real Fifth Brother."
"However!" Seeing that the two were eager to do it again, Qiqi quickly explained, "You don't need to worry. When that hungry ghost died, its body was dismembered, which greatly reduced its ghost power. It can only recover by collecting all the corpses, so it won't have any effect on Fifth Brother for the time being."
"No impact for now, so that means there will be an impact sooner or later?"
"It'll definitely happen eventually..."
