There are too many questions here, and the old man was unwilling to say more, only saying that it was a letter.
As for whose letter it was and what it said, the old man refused to say a word more.
Even so, this task still needs to make some progress.
At six o'clock in the evening, Qi Jiu indeed saw Qi Silin downstairs at Xingyue. The man was leaning against the car behind him, his suit jacket open, looking quite dashing.
This seems somewhat different from the personality of the president of the Qi Group.
Qi Jiu had just appeared when Qi Silin saw her. He straightened up and thoughtfully opened the car door behind him, waiting for Qi Jiu to get in.
"Going empty-handed?"
The girl watched his movements and stopped.
Although she rarely deals with such matters, shouldn't she bring something when visiting someone's home? Wouldn't it be impolite to go empty-handed?
The man nodded, "We have everything we need at home, all you need to do is come."
The old Qi family residence.
If Qi Silin had greeted her at the gate of the old house before, this time it was Old Master Qi who came to pick her up in person.
As the distance closed, the old man's smile grew wider, and even his steps became much more agile.
"Qiqi!"
The old man was so excited that he wished he could stop using his cane altogether.
Qi Jiu: "..."
Qi Silin: "..."
"Grandpa, why did you come out?"
"Ah Lin said you were coming, how happy am I? Come on, let this old man see you!" The old man smiled, his wrinkles gathering together, his smile resembling a chrysanthemum.
Qi Jiu was taken aback by these words.
Didn't they say the old man missed her? Why does something seem off now?
Almost instinctively, she turned to look at the man beside her. Qi Silin seemed to have noticed something was wrong as well, his thin lips pressed into a straight line.
Finally, under the girl's burning gaze, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "I missed you too."
'Bang! Bang!'
It's that feeling again, my heart pounding like it's on stimulants.
The sound of banging rang in her ears. Qi Jiu tried her best to pretend she didn't know anything and followed Grandpa Qi slowly into the old house. She completely ignored Qi Silin behind her.
As soon as I entered, the aroma of food wafted through the air. It turned out that the old house had already prepared a meal.
"Qiqi, Ah Lin told me you like sweet and sour dishes, so today I specially asked the kitchen to prepare sweet and sour pork and sweet and sour spare ribs..."
It was clear that the old man was in a very good mood today. After seeing Qi Jiu, he started talking non-stop, and the conversation covered a wide range of topics.
From age and preferences to the vastness of the world that followed.
At the dinner table, Qi Silin deliberately placed the sweet and sour dishes in front of the girl so that she could easily pick them up.
Even so, when he saw that Qi Jiu's bowl was empty, he would still proactively use serving chopsticks to pick up food for her. It was like a habit he never stopped having.
Looking at his bowl, which was now empty except for plain white rice, Old Master Qi thought, "..." What about me?
So, this is her granddaughter-in-law? He didn't believe the rumors about them online.
After all, he knew what kind of person his grandson was. Sometimes he even suspected that his grandson was attracted to men.
Qi Silin: "..."
But looking at it now, he seems to understand that no matter whether Qi Jiu is their granddaughter-in-law or not, she might be different to A Lin.
It seems that Qi Jiu hasn't noticed yet.
After dinner, Qi Jiu followed Qi Silin, strolling through the Qi family's old mansion. From the main building to the backyard...
"Qi Silin".
The man slowly turned his head. "Hmm, what's wrong?"
The girl licked her slightly dry lips with the tip of her tongue, her face calm. "When did your Qi family establish itself in City A? To be able to control everything in City A must not be easy, right?"
Not easy?
Qi Silin pursed his lips. For those people before him, this was indeed a bit difficult.
"The Qi family has been in City A for quite some time now. It's the result of several generations of hard work that has brought them such a position in City A. As for which year it was, I've forgotten."
The girl nodded, and under the moonlight, she inadvertently saw a small, dark, dilapidated building not far away, and her brows furrowed.
"What is that place? It looks like no one has lived there for a long time; it's quite abandoned."
The area around the dilapidated building was overgrown with weeds, some of which were already as tall as his calves, and looked like they hadn't been tended to for a long time.
Qi Silin looked at the building and said, "That's the abandoned building of the Qi family. No one has lived there for a long time, and the place is a bit remote."
As he spoke, he took out his phone, turned on the flashlight, and waved it around on the small, dilapidated building.
As the lights shone, Qi Jiu saw the true face of this dilapidated little building.
Not only is the building surrounded by weeds, but it is also completely covered by ivy. The windows are covered in dust from not being cleaned for a long time, making it impossible to see inside.
Someone who didn't know better might think this was a dilapidated building slated for demolition.
The girl muttered to herself, "A small, dilapidated building?"
The Qi family doesn't have any officially designated forbidden areas. Could that thing be hidden inside that small, dilapidated building?
"May I go in and take a look?"
The man paused, looking at her with a hint of apology.
"I'm sorry, not now. This building used to be my grandfather's territory. There's a rule in the whole family that only the old man can enter. My parents and I have never been in there before. If we want to go in now, we might have to ask the old man for permission."
Qi Jiu nodded to indicate that she understood.
Isn't this supposed to be the Qi family's forbidden area?
"It's alright, no need. I was just curious. Don't bother the old man."
The Qi family has only visited twice. Old Master Qi seems to like her quite a bit, but they're not actually that close. This place is somewhat of a secret; if she were to inquire now, she would be overstepping her bounds.
If you rush things like this, it might become more difficult later.
She strolled around the Qi family's old house and gained a better understanding of the Qi family than before, which was a good thing.
As time went by, "Assassination" grossed over 3 billion yuan, and more and more people got to know Qi Jiu, and more and more people changed their views on her.
The label of "young lady" was attached to Qi Jiu from the very beginning, but now it has been replaced by the actress Qi Jiu.
But on this day, things became a little different.
Meanwhile, An Yang started a live stream as usual. Although the previous variety show had increased Qi Jiu's popularity, it also brought her into the public eye openly.
This is also a good thing for her.
"You guys are talking about the name tag ripping game?" An Yang looked at the comments above, his expression somewhat unpleasant. "I don't know why, but suddenly I was exposed. Maybe I accidentally tore it while ripping the name tags."
