Chapter 66 The Date
Upon hearing his reminder, Ji Wanqing finally remembered.
She had only seen the photo in his WeChat Moments, but had never met him in person, which was why he looked somewhat familiar.
But thinking about it, it's not surprising that you'd encounter wealthy people at such a high-end restaurant.
"Brother Jidian, I'm sorry... I..." Ji Wanqing chuckled, wanting to explain.
Xie Chi raised an eyebrow and teased, "Is it because I seem approachable now?"
Today he was wearing a pure black workwear-style casual outfit, with a faint smile on his lips and a touch of warmth in his eyes. He looked directly at her like this, which was indeed much better than the aloofness and indifference he showed in the photos.
Ji Wanqing felt her cheeks flush slightly, and nodded with a forced smile, "Yes, yes, what a coincidence."
"You said you had something to do... is this a date?"
Xie Chi's eyes were full of inquiry, making Ji Wanqing feel a little nervous.
She looked up and shook her head, about to reply, when she heard a familiar male voice, "Uncle, why did you take so long?"
Ji Wanqing's expression stiffened as she looked at the person walking out from behind Xie Chi.
In such a big city as Beijing, of all people, I just happened to run into him, and he even called Xie Chi "Uncle"?
That makes sense... They share the same surname, so it's normal for them to be somewhat related.
Xie Beixiao looked a few years older than Xie Chi, and calling him "uncle" gave Ji Wanqing goosebumps all over.
Xie Beixiao walked over from behind Xie Chi and saw Ji Wanqing standing opposite Xie Chi. His expression darkened.
"Are you bankrupt and desperate now? You're trying to seduce every rich person you see?"
Xie Chi sensed tension. He glanced at Xie Beixiao, then turned to Ji Wanqing, "You two know each other?"
Ji Wanqing sneered, "I wouldn't dare presume to associate with Young Master Xie; we can't even be considered acquaintances."
Since being humiliated by her in front of so many people in the live stream, Xie Beixiao hasn't logged into the game.
Although he was furious, he could never forget Ji Wanqing's fiery personality.
Being rebuked like this in front of his uncle, Xie Beixiao lost face and said fiercely, "Stop pretending. You think you can just let it go after extorting 200,000 from me?"
Extorting 200,000 yuan from him? When did this happen?
Xie Chi remained silent, watching the two of them with great interest.
Ji Wanqing frowned, her face full of disgust.
"Xie Beixiao, have you no shame? You haven't forgotten the disgusting bet you made back then, have you? You lost the bet and now you're accusing me of trying to extort you? If you can't take a bet, then don't come out and embarrass yourself."
She took a deep breath, thinking that the finish line was still there, and not wanting to make things too ugly, she turned her head and gave a polite, slight smile.
"Sorry, it's not a good day to talk. See you next time."
After saying that, she turned to leave. Xie Chi was just about to send Xie Beixiao away and ask her to stay when Xie Beixiao rushed forward and grabbed her wrist.
"Ji Wanqing! You really don't know what's good for you!"
Ji Wanqing was pulled to a stop, turned around and glared at him angrily, "Get out of my way!"
"Aren't you short of money right now? I'll take care of you, how about a million a month?" Xie Beixiao was still shamelessly trying to use money to sleep with the person he had been dreaming of.
"Keep dreaming! If you don't let go, I'll call security!" Ji Wanqing retorted angrily without even thinking.
Xie Beixiao wanted to say something more, but Xie Chi had already grabbed his wrist, squeezing so hard that his bones cracked, and he immediately let go in pain.
"It hurts... Uncle... let go!"
Xie Chi still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with a chilling coldness.
"When did the Xie family's upbringing begin to allow you to treat ladies like this? It seems you still have too much pocket money."
Xie Beixiao felt a chill run down her spine under Xie Chi's gaze and involuntarily shrank her neck.
This uncle was abducted as a child and was reportedly abused by his adoptive father. After being found, he became extremely irritable and had self-destructive tendencies. He was sent abroad for several years to recover before gradually returning to normal.
His gaze swept over Ji Wanqing and Xie Chi twice before he realized what he had done and lowered his head to apologize.
"Uncle, don't be angry. Your great-grandfather and the others are waiting for you to come back."
Xie Chi seemed satisfied with his reaction, slowly releasing his grip on Xie Beixiao's hand, and said indifferently, "Go back first."
Xie Beixiao was sweating profusely. His family still relied on Xie Chi's lineage to make a living, and he didn't want to lose his allowance. He left without looking back.
After the annoying person left, Ji Wanqing finally spoke up, "Thank you. I didn't expect that I would need Brother Jidian's help even offline."
"It's nothing." Xie Chi's gaze remained fixed on her face as he continued the previous conversation, "Who did you come with?"
"Uh... my mom was just discharged from the hospital today, and she really likes the food here."
Ji Wanqing didn't explain it clearly in her post because she didn't want to put her real life in the public eye, but since it's private now, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with answering it.
"I just heard that someone is waiting for you. I'm a little worried about my mother being alone, so I'll be going now?" Ji Wanqing raised her finger and subtly pointed in the direction she was leaving.
Xie Chi nodded. "Go ahead. If Xie Beixiao dares to cause trouble again, send me a message."
Ji Wanqing smiled, her eyes crinkling. "With you as my strong backer, he definitely won't dare to do it."
She breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the private room, and only when she finished eating and went to pay the bill did she realize that someone had already paid.
Without even thinking, Ji Wanqing knew who it was. She found his WeChat account, sent a "thank you," and an hour later, he replied with a "yay" emoji.
In the afternoon, Ji Wanqing contacted a housekeeping company again and found a housekeeper to cook and clean.
She couldn't cook and didn't have the time. Since her mother was back, she couldn't eat takeout with her every day anymore, so she hired a live-in nanny to take care of her mother's daily needs.
The next day, after meeting with several aunts and having her mother personally finalize the decision, Ji Wanqing was finally completely done with her work.
After finishing dinner, Ji Wanqing immediately rushed off to start her live broadcast.
Shining Stars [Sister, I missed you so much yesterday when you weren't here!]
[Qingye gives away 1 Guardian Card] (1 Boiling Point Coin)
What did Qingtian do yesterday? Did she go on a date?
Ji Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief that the show's popularity didn't decline despite a one-day hiatus.
"Stop speculating, it's just a family matter." She paused, then announced to everyone, "From now on, I'll set a fixed livestream time, from 7 PM to 11 PM every night, how about that?"
Don't bark. [Okay.]
【fine. 】
Kiyono: [Don't you need a break?]
【Kiyono, you big bad guy! You don't stream yourself, yet you're encouraging us, Qingtian, to take a break.】
Ji Wanqing couldn't stop laughing when she saw fans criticizing Qingye.
"Hmm... what Kiyono-nii-san said does make some sense." She nodded slightly, seemingly genuinely considering the question.
[My dear wife, I miss you so much!]
Although I'm reluctant, my wife's health is the priority, and I understand that she needs to rest occasionally.
The stars are shining brightly. [I also support my sister taking a break.]
Ji Wanqing originally just wanted to tease everyone, but most of her fans expressed their understanding, so she responded with a smile.
"Okay, I was just teasing you guys. I don't plan to take a break for now, but if something comes up, I'll post an update to let you know I'm taking a break. I hope you can understand."
[Yay! My wife is the best!]
[Don't Bark, Get a Free Airplane x1] (888 Boiling Point Coins)
"I'll play PUBG today." Ji Wanqing opened the game and the order backend, and 10 orders immediately popped up.
As soon as she saw the orderer's ID, she frowned and ruthlessly rejected the order.
Yuanzi, isn't this Xie Beixiao's lackey Yuan Ji?
It seems Xie Beixiao wasn't scared off by the finish line and is still determined to cause her trouble.
Unexpectedly, just after she refused, Yuanzi sent a request to connect via video call, which Ji Wanqing rejected instantly.
Still not giving up, they played it twice more. Ji Wanqing, unable to bear it any longer, angrily accepted it.
