Seeing the expression on her father's face, the girl didn't say anything, but a smile appeared on her lips.
Although Chongyu had always complained about how bad his relationship with his family was and how much they argued, it seems that his father still loved him very much.
What Chongyu has now, he also has the pride of his father.
With a 'click', the door opened, and as if on cue, Chongyu walked in, looking exhausted, followed by Chongming. It was quite a surprise to see the two of them together.
The girl looked at the two of them and smiled. "You're back?"
"Uh-huh?"
The first part was an instinctive answer, but Chongyu clearly noticed something was wrong. He stared at the two people on the sofa, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Brother? Qiqi? What are you doing here?" Chongyu looked at Qijiu and the other person, and the fatigue on his face had obviously lessened a lot.
Hearing this, Qi Silin straightened up. "I haven't been around you lately, and I've been feeling a bit uneasy. I came to see you. How have you been?"
At first, I didn't realize that Chongyu had been particularly busy lately, but seeing him doze off on the sofa as soon as he got back made it clear. The dark circles under his eyes also indicated that he hadn't been getting enough rest.
"If you're sleepy, go back to your room and sleep," Chong's father said, looking at him with disdain.
Seeing Chongyu's current state, she had no desire to argue with him and turned to go upstairs.
"Dad, I'm going to rest too." Chongming looked at Chongyu's back, nodded to Qijiu and the other person, and then turned and went upstairs.
The two children have very different attitudes, but the Chong family treats them very differently.
The living room seemed to have returned to quiet.
Mr. Chong turned his gaze to Qi Jiu, a bright smile on his face. “Miss Qi, I already know about the contract between the Chong family and Xingyue. Thank you. If it weren’t for your insistence, this cooperation would probably have been snatched away.”
"No need to thank me, I never intended to cooperate with Xingluo in the first place."
Time passed, and Qi Jiu's mother was already preparing the meal in the kitchen. Qi Jiu glanced at Qi Silin, a hint of emotion silently conveyed in her eyes, before turning and heading straight to the kitchen.
"Auntie, do you need any help?"
Mother Chong was startled when she saw the newcomer. "Oh dear, you can just wait outside. You're a guest; how can you expect a guest to do chores?"
Although that's what she said, Qi Jiu didn't leave. Instead, she picked up a cherry tomato from the side, rinsed it in the sink, and closed the study door behind her.
It's best not to let others hear what we're about to discuss.
"Auntie, will you let go of everything after Chongming?"
This is a question she wants to know. And not just for Chongyu.
When the topic suddenly came up, the mother was clearly taken aback. She turned around and looked at the little girl's actions, quickly took a clean towel from the side, took the girl's hand, and began to slowly wipe it, saying something as she did so.
“Chongming is a good boy. I’ve always treated him like my own child. Actually, I never intended for him to leave empty-handed; I’ve seen his abilities. But…”
The mother gave a wry smile, wiped the girl's hands clean, and gently put them down.
“However, Chongming has already made up his mind. Since he has already made up his mind, I will respect his decision.”
Speaking of this, Qi Jiu seemed to understand something, and suddenly remembered the message Qi Silin had sent her before, and curled the corners of her mouth.
All of Chongming's contracts had been pushed out, leaving only Chongyu's name in the end. Even though he already held such high authority in the Chong family, Chongyu's name was still left behind.
He has now personally returned everything he owned to the world.
Having explained all this, Qi Jiu finally understood.
But Chongming's mother clearly had other things on her mind. "Chongming had a tough childhood. He lost his parents and family when he was young. He lost everything before he could even remember anything. We thought we should help him if we could."
The girl pinched a small tomato and put it in her mouth, the sweet and sour taste filling her entire oral cavity.
"When...did Chongming find out his true identity?"
The mother lowered her eyes as if she was thinking about something. "Around the time he came of age, he saw photos of his biological parents in the study. Can you believe how magical this family bond is? Even though we'd never met them before, he could recognize them at a glance. There was no point in hiding it from him anymore."
The kitchen was filled with an irresistible aroma.
Qi Jiu leaned against the table next to her, and the two of them drifted further and further apart.
Once all the dishes were ready, the girl understood what was going on.
Originally, Chongming did not have the surname Chong, and he did not want to take the surname Chong, but for his future, he eventually decided to take the surname Chong.
The reason why the Chong family adopted him and gave him unprecedented love was because Chongming's biological parents had helped Chong's father before they died.
Chongming's parents were proud police officers who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty. Their already small family was now ruined by the criminal gang's revenge.
That page, that family is torn apart.
…………
After leaving the Chong family, Qi Jiu and Qi Silin walked side by side and hand in hand down the street. If you looked closely, you could see a Maybach with its headlights on following behind them.
Liu Yun in the driver's seat: "..."
So, do we really need to digest our food at this time?
"So, you've already decided on this?"
The man's suit jacket had somehow ended up draped over Qi Jiu's shoulders, adding a touch of wild allure to her black shirt.
"Yes, the intelligence network has already given us the information. At first, I didn't expect Xingluo to be zero. But considering Xingluo's way of doing things, it seems... to make sense?"
Zero: "??" Are you swearing?
"Now that we've found Zero's lair and have leverage over the rest of Zero, we're just one last step away. It's time for us to take that crucial step."
As she spoke, the girl suddenly stopped walking and looked up at the stars in the sky.
"It's finally coming to an end."
Everything is finally coming to an end.
On this day, looking at the very familiar manor in front of her, the girl's expression remained unchanged.
Qi Silin, standing beside her, turned to look at her. "Are you really not going to wait for Chen Sisi to get her results? She probably really wants you by her side right now, doesn't she?"
"It's alright. The reappearance of Starfall means that Zero is ready again. There's no time to delay any longer. If Shen Sisi understands, she should understand me."
"Snap!"
Suddenly, the gate in front of them opened, and the scene inside the manor slowly came into view.
