“Qiqi, no matter what, we’re still family. Mom knows I was wrong to you before, but your sister…”
“Stop! I don’t have a sister,” Yunqi quickly interrupted her. “Ms. Li, have you forgotten that you were afraid I would take up your birth quota and that you wouldn’t let me transfer my household registration after Grandma died? Now that I’m grown up and have my own household, you and I are on different household registration books, so we’re not family at all.”
Reasoning with her didn't work; Du Xinyu just threw a tantrum and refused to leave.
The neighborhood is nice, and there aren't many people in the villa area. Occasionally, when I pass by, I can't help but take a second look at this mother and daughter who are being unreasonable.
Hearing the commotion, Huo Chen came out to check: "An Qi, what happened?"
Unexpectedly, the CEO was quite charming. Beneath his handsome appearance lay a model's physique, exuding a domineering and aloof aura. Upon seeing Huo Chen, Du Xinyu immediately stopped her tantrums and straightened her clothes, determined to leave a good impression on him.
Du Xinyu: "Hello, I'm Anqi's younger sister, Du Xinyu. This is our mother. Are you Anqi's neighbor? What's your name?"
Huo Chen: "An Qi, what's this...?"
Yunqi: "This is Ms. Li, my biological mother. Du Xinyu is her daughter born after she remarried. She has nothing to do with me and is not my sister."
Du Xinyu: "Anqi! Are you really going to be this heartless?! You don't even recognize your own mother?!"
Yunqi: "I don't deny it. She is my biological mother, that's a fact. I will fulfill my support obligations when she needs it. But if she wants to move into my house now, she can forget about it."
"Anqi! Aren't you afraid I'll expose you to the media?!"
"Go ahead, I have a clear conscience."
"You!!...You!!!"
Seeing that Yunqi wouldn't listen to reason, Du Xinyu was helpless. She was unwilling to leave like this, so she grabbed her mother and threw a tantrum: "Mom! Say something! I'm not leaving today no matter what! If we're going to be embarrassed, let's all be embarrassed together!"
As more and more people gathered around, Yunqi remained indifferent, quietly watching the mother and daughter with her arms crossed.
Ms. Li was clearly embarrassed by the stares, and with quite a few people gathered around, she awkwardly pulled Du Xinyu aside, saying, "Xiaoyu, why don't we go back first?!"
"I'm not going back! I want to stay here!!"
At this moment, the property security guards that Huo Chen had called arrived and signaled for the mother and daughter to be escorted out of the community. In the end, Du Xinyu was escorted out of the community by the security guards. Huo Chen then instructed the property management again that these two should not be allowed to enter again.
Huo Chen looked at Yun Qi, who had no expression on her face: "Are you alright?"
Yunqi: "Don't you think I'm too heartless?"
Huo Chen: "No. I firmly believe in the saying, 'Don't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering.' I believe you must have your reasons for doing this."
Yunqi laughed: "You're really different from the 'domineering CEO' in the book."
Huo Chen frowned: "Stop reading those mindless novels, they destroy your values."
Yunqi smiled even more broadly: "You really are an upright CEO!"
Huo Chen laughed too: "I don't feel like you're praising me."
"Ugh... this mother and daughter ruined my good mood today," Yunqi stretched lazily without any regard for her image. "By the way, why are you still living here? It's almost Chinese New Year, aren't you going back to visit Grandpa Huo?"
Huo Chen: "...Stretching in front of a grown man...don't you care about your image at all?"
Yunqi: "What do I need to maintain an image? It's just stretching, of course I'll do whatever makes me comfortable."
...Definitely a straight woman.
"...Grandpa asked me to invite you to the old house. He said he misses you."
Baicaotang is also closed for the Chinese New Year.
"It's only been two days of holiday, why are you already missing me?" Yunqi checked the time and said, "There's nothing much to do at home, so wait for me to change my clothes and get some things. We'll go see Grandpa Huo together."
Yunqi changed into a light orange dress, pink fluffy ankle boots, and on top of that, a pink padded jacket, pink fluffy gloves, and pink fluffy earmuffs, wrapping herself up tightly.
Yunqi's pink outfit makes her look even more youthful and adorable; she's so cute that you just want to hug her.
Yunqi got into Huo Chen's car and patted her pink crossbody bag to show him: "Let's go, let's bring Grandpa Huo something nice, he'll definitely like it."
"Qiqi is here, come quickly to Grandpa Huo." Grandpa Huo led Yunqi towards his study while instructing the butler not to disturb them.
Huo Chen: "Grandpa, have you forgotten that I'm back too?"
Old Master Huo: "Aren't you very busy? Have you finished handling all the company affairs? Go and finish them, don't stay here and get in the way."
Huo Chen: ...
That obvious disdain... he must be the grandfather.
"Qiqi, this is the prescription you gave me before. I and a few other old men have studied it and tested it with others. It really works!!! We plan to announce the research results soon and then start mass production."
"That's great, it's something that benefits the people."
"...It means...your name won't be on the research report..."
"If I don't have it, I don't have it. I don't care about these things anyway." Yunqi said that she really didn't care. "I don't even have a medical license, and I haven't studied medicine systematically. It would be strange if they wrote my name on it."
Seeing that Grandpa Huo was still somewhat bothered, Yunqi said again, "I know that Grandpa Huo not signing my name is also a way of protecting me. I am very grateful to you, so you really don't need to mind. I really don't care about these empty titles."
Seeing that Grandpa Huo's brows were slowly relaxing, Yun Qi took out several prescriptions from her bag: "Grandpa Huo, these are prescriptions I came up with recently. Please see if they are suitable for you."
