"Sir, no matter who you are, you should treat the heir of the Delin family with more respect. You can't be so frivolous!"
Qingyuan looked at the other person, his voice was fierce, but his eyes revealed an emotion that others could not understand.
The girl hadn't expected him to react so strongly, and she raised an eyebrow.
Bai Feng was taken aback and looked at him.
"Who are you? Your heirs haven't said anything, so why are you interfering with me?"
It has to be said that Bai Feng still has a rebellious streak. Looking at his unruly appearance, you know that one day this situation will occur.
In other organizations, the attitude might be quite poor.
"you!"
Qingyuan frowned, looking at Bai Feng with a fierce gaze, seemingly never expecting him to say such a thing.
"Bai Feng."
At this moment, Qi Jiu spoke, looking at Bai Feng with indifferent eyes. She didn't say a word, but it was as if she had said everything.
However, precisely because those two words came from her mouth, Bai Feng's arrogance seemed to vanish instantly. He let out a soft "ow" and lowered his head, no longer challenging Qing Yuan.
But he still didn't seem to give up. With his head down, like a wronged little wife, he poked Qi Jiu with a finger in front of everyone.
"Miss Heiress, you haven't answered me yet. How's my dress?"
Qi Jiu: "..."
None of my family members understand now, we've picked up a sly fox!
Aren't all these clothes the same? What's so special about them? There are tons of people in the Delin family who wear clothes like this!
"It looks great, come to the back."
Having gotten the answer he wanted, Bai Feng couldn't help but smile. He looked like a little girl who had just been complimented on her dress, and he happily skipped over to Qi Jiu.
Standing next to Mengling and Xilin, looking at the two of them, he couldn't help but smile. "Nice to meet you."
Mengling and Xilin: "..."
Qingyuan seemed to still be angry, and let out a cold snort.
However, Bai Feng seemed completely oblivious, still standing behind the girl, trying his best to talk to the two people beside him.
"Eh? Didn't we see you yesterday? What a pity, my attention was all on the heir, and I overlooked you..."
Mengling and Xilin: "..." Sometimes, it's quite helpless when you're out and about.
Rong Man glanced at Bai Feng, then looked away.
"Little sister, what are your plans to do with the person behind you? Although you've already taken him under your wing, he still hasn't confessed. His identity remains unclear."
Qi Jiu sat on the sofa, pursed her lips, and tilted her head back to face Bai Feng.
"It's okay that he didn't confess. This guy is unruly and probably doesn't have any bottom line right now, but there should be something on him. However, the forces behind this are inseparable from Zero."
She looked away. "There will be plenty of opportunities later."
"Little sister, are you so sure it's zero?"
Qi Lin suddenly spoke, causing the girl to raise an eyebrow. "Why do you ask that?"
This question immediately drew everyone's attention in the hall.
"Didn't you say that the people behind you haven't confessed yet? So what? How can you be sure they're Zero's people?"
Qi Jiu stared intently at him, as if she didn't want to miss any expression on his face, and then suddenly laughed.
“I’ve run into Zero several times already, and I’ve figured out how they do things. Besides… I already noticed something yesterday. He’s just not admitting it.”
Qi Lin was taken aback, then smiled. "Oh? Is that so?"
"Yes, I was there yesterday, so I know better than anyone else."
Qi Jiu's face showed no hint of joking, making others subconsciously recognize the truth of the matter.
"Since Qiqi already has a plan in mind, it's not appropriate for us to ask any more questions." Seeing that Qingyuan and Qilin still had something to say, Qingshuang spoke up directly, interrupting their thoughts in her own way.
"Hey, Second Brother, you're here."
Rongman looked at Kesen, who was somewhat drowsy beside her, and suddenly raised her voice, startling Kesen so much that he trembled.
Kesen: "..."
You little brat, you've gotten so bold now, haven't you?
Qingyuan and Qilin exchanged a few words in the hall and then left.
Seeing the girl's retreating figure, Qing Shuang couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Qiqi!"
The girl turned to look at her and blinked. "Auntie?"
Qing Shuang glanced at the people next to her, her lips curving into a forced smile. "Come here, your aunt has something to tell you."
Upon hearing this, Qi Jiu strolled over, but before she could even stand properly, Qing Shuang pulled her to her side.
"That's just how your uncle talks, don't blame him, he's doing it for your own good. He's sacrificed a lot for the Delin family, so he's a bit anxious."
"Don't worry, Aunt. I know in my heart that as the heir of the entire Delin family, I naturally cannot afford to get into trouble."
Qing Shuang pursed her lips. What she said was true, but something still felt off.
Or is she overthinking it?
Seeing this, Qing Shuang seemed to have something else to say, but Rong Man stopped her.
Kesen, who was standing next to Qijiu, had nothing to say to begin with, but he kept observing Bai Feng next to Qijiu.
Inside the study, Bai Feng looked at the sofa that was covered in stains and instinctively pulled a chair over from the side and sat down opposite the desk.
"Miss Heir".
"Qi Jiu, my name is Qi Jiu."
"Heiress, heiress, are you afraid others won't know who you are?"
Bai Feng was taken aback, looking at her like a curious child. "Qi Jiu? Which Qi, which Jiu? The numbers on a clock?"
Qi Jiu: "..."
Who has Arabic numerals in their name? Did this guy leave his brain on the street yesterday?
Thinking about it, the girl reluctantly picked up a piece of paper from the side, held a fountain pen, and under Bai Feng's gaze, the pen fell, the writing was vigorous and powerful, and the ending was elegant.
Bai Feng's eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at the name 'Qi Jiu' on the paper.
"So it's Qi Jiu. That's a nice name."
As he spoke, he looked up, closing the distance, and happened to see the little girl's long eyelashes, which were like fans.
"Miss Qi Jiu, why were you protecting me downstairs just now?"
Although what he said was somewhat nonsensical, she still understood. If Qingyuan had insisted on pursuing the matter further, he might not be here anymore. It was she who spoke up at the crucial moment.
"I wasn't protecting you, I was just telling the truth."
Qi Jiu didn't even look up before starting her work.
