Chapter 270 Uncle, do you want to investigate together?
Zhou Shuang still instinctively wanted to refuse, but Qi Luoyan agreed on her behalf without hesitation.
"Didn't you say that Qian had banned you? Don't worry, he can't get his hands on our Qi family."
Qi Luoyan hated men who bullied women the most. Of course, she also saw the miserable state of the man who tricked her into going hiking after being taught a lesson by her uncle.
But she didn't sympathize. If she hadn't met Zhou Shuang, who knows what would have happened.
Zhou Shuang understood that not working actually had no impact on her. The main reason was that she didn't want Qian Ning to chase her around like he was frantically looking for her. She was afraid that one day he would dig up her family background.
A man like Qian Ning is petty and narrow-minded. It doesn't necessarily mean that he likes me that much, but he is mainly unwilling to accept it.
Qi Luohan also heard it.
"Channing?"
The second generation in their circle, those who are idle can't stand those who are hardworking and ambitious, and those who are hardworking and ambitious can't stand those who do nothing.
In short, people who have no common language will always be incompatible with other groups, and Qi Luohan certainly doesn't like people like Qian Ning.
There is no such thing as celebrating festivals. In their circle, if there is no mutual interest, they will try their best not to provoke others as long as they have different hobbies.
"Yes, Shuangshuang is his ex-girlfriend. That man has a bad character. Shuangshuang found out and stopped dating him, but he still pestered her. He even refused to let her find a job. Brother, please help Shuangshuang."
Qi Ruoyan said coquettishly that Qi Luohan also loved his younger sister very much.
"Okay, it's okay if you don't have jewelry design experience. You can take your time. There's no rush."
Qi Luohan smiled, his handsome face was completely non-aggressive, like the big brother next door.
Zhou Shuang involuntarily thought of Brother Xiaoyu from his gentle face. Speaking of her childhood, Brother Xiaoyu was the brightest part of her life. However, the two had not seen each other for many years, and she didn't know where he was now.
"Um."
Zhou Shuang just responded when a servant's surprised voice came from the door.
"Second Young Master. Sir, the Second Young Master is here."
Qi Huaijing walked forward confidently, and Mr. Qi and Mrs. Qi also had surprise in their eyes.
"I just finished a business meeting here. I thought my brother and his wife were close by, so I stopped by to have a meal."
It was still raining outside and the sky was dark.
Qi Huaijing's fingers holding the umbrella handle were slender and had distinct joints.
He shook the mist off slightly, and the servant hurried forward to take it.
Zhou Shuang turned her head slightly and met his eyes.
For some reason, Zhou Shuang, who was used to seeing handsome boys, felt her heart skip a beat when she saw Qi Huaijing.
Qi Huaijing was still wearing a classic black suit, his brows were furrowed in a cold frown, and his dark eyes were as gloomy as the cumulonimbus clouds in the sky.
He walked in with steady steps, and the closer he got, the clearer his features became.
"Just go home and eat, why are you talking about freeloading here with Big Brother and Sister-in-law—"
Both Mrs. Qi and Mr. Qi spoke with a flattered tone, as if his arrival was a great honor, even though he was their biological brother.
Qi Luoyan's pretty face turned cold, surprised and a little scared: "Uncle?"
My uncle has never eaten at home in broad daylight, and it is rare for him to come once a month. He was able to take time out of his busy schedule to pick her up this morning. I didn't expect to see her again at noon.
It really is——
How rare!
But why did Qi Luoyan feel like crying and subconsciously looked at Zhou Shuang?
really--
My uncle was as sharp and alert as a hellhound. I'm afraid he was coming for Zhou Shuang.
In contrast to the gloomy sky, the hall was brightly lit.
Mr. Qi gave up the main seat to Qi Huaijing, and he sat down without any formalities. Everything seemed so natural.
Zhou Shuang couldn't help but whisper to Qi Luoyan: "Did your uncle save your family's lives?"
According to seniority and age, Qi Huaijing should not be above Mr. Qi, but the Qi couple treats him with great respect, which is really puzzling.
Qi Luoyan's face was droopy and deathly pale.
"Almost. I told you that the Qi family's continued century-old business is entirely thanks to my uncle. My father doesn't like business, so he lives on this ancestral home and company shares left by my grandfather. The family business is supported by my uncle."
Zhou Shuang fell silent. No wonder this man had such a high status.
Qi Luohan, who had been talking loudly just now, suddenly fell silent and lowered his head to eat his meal.
The servant also added bowls and chopsticks for Qi Huaijing. Zhou Shuang's eyes couldn't help but fall on the back of his cold and clear hand, then slid upwards, her sight just passing over his prominent Adam's apple.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Qi Huaijing's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his eyes met Zhou Shuang's again in the air.
Zhou Shuang quickly turned her face away, lowered her head and symbolically took a bite of rice. The tips of her ears turned a faint pink and her heartbeat quickened.
"What were you talking about just now? It sounded cheerful."
No one spoke, and Qi Huaijing broke the silence for the first time.
Mr. Qi and Mrs. Qi couldn't help but look at each other, then fixed their eyes on their son. Mrs. Qi signaled Qi Luohan to quickly answer his uncle's question.
"Talking about Luo Yan's friends."
Qi Luohan didn't dare to hide it: "Her boyfriend blocked her from finding a job in Rongcheng, and Luo Yan wanted me to help her."
Ignoring the look Qi Luoyan gave Qi Luohan, he was almost having cramps. He wanted his elder brother not to tell his uncle, but the blood suppression from his uncle made Qi Luohan dare not hide it at all.
Qi Huaijing said "Oh" nonchalantly, and used his slender fingers to pick up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks but did not put it into his mouth.
Hearing Qi Luohan's words, his brows tightened slightly: "How old is Miss Zhou? Does your family know that you're living with a man?"
Zhou Shuang almost choked when she took a sip of water to hide her uneasiness.
She was still holding back and didn't dare to cough easily, which frightened Qi Luoyan.
Not only her, but also Mr. Qi, Mrs. Qi and Qi Luohan felt a pang in their hearts, and the three of them stared at Qi Huaijing in unison.
Is the sun rising from the west? Qi Huaijing, who doesn't care about anyone, actually blames an insignificant little girl and seems so aggressive.
Zhou Shuang's face turned pale instantly, and then her pretty face turned light pink, obviously because she was angry.
"We didn't live together, we just dated for a few months."
In fact, there is no need to explain to this person. Qi Huaijing nodded lightly after hearing this.
"Well, Luo Yan is a simple girl, and we don't want her to make friends and be led astray by others."
It turned out that he was checking on his little niece, but his method was too unacceptable.
If Qi Luoyan wasn't such a simple-minded person, Zhou Shuang really wanted to confront Qi Huaijing. Since his protective desire was so strong, he might as well just lock him up at home.
but--
Oh, forget it.
Mr. Qi was about to interrupt, and Mrs. Qi also wanted to smooth things over to avoid embarrassing Zhou Shuang, when Qi Huaijing came again.
"What else did you talk about?"
"Luo Yan was worried that I wouldn't be able to find a job and would starve to death, so she recommended me to work at my eldest brother's company. If my uncle has any other questions, just ask them all at once. I have my ID card with me, but I don't have my household registration booklet with me. Do you want to check it together?"
