《Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder Hotline》


 C1

    The light strips that were constantly flashing above her head made Luo Qiqi dizzy. In a blur, she felt her whole body go numb, the past and the past appearing in front of her eyes like the rapid progress of a movie.


    Only at the end of these scenes did she remember that after successfully interviewing a multinational company and going to work on her first day full of fighting spirit, she was hit by a heavy object that mysteriously fell from the office building. She didn''t even know what it was that hit her, and fainted.


    Thinking about it, she had already been sent to the hospital. The white light bar that she had just seen should be the light pipe on the ceiling of the hospital corridor.


    If she had the strength, Luo Qiqi really wanted to applaud himself. At this time, she was actually still psychoanalyzed where he was?


    "Luo Qi Qi, female, age 23, orphan origin, unmarried."


    Following the appearance of a gentle voice, Luo Qiqi felt a white light appear before her eyes. When she finally adapted to the surrounding light, she slowly opened her eyes and saw herself sitting upright in a spacious meeting room.


    He lowered his head and looked at his chest. There was even a nameplate pinned to his chest that read ''Interviewer: Luo 770''.


    Without waiting for Luo Qiqi to figure out what was going on, the interviewer sitting across from her with a warm expression and a smile on his face opened his mouth.


    "Luo Qiqi, we received your resume, and we felt that all of your conditions met our company''s requirements, so we gave you a chance to retake the exam."


    Second round of examinations? Hadn''t she already interviewed for the operations of a multinational IT company? Why did such a company pop up out of the blue? And wasn''t she supposed to be in the hospital? Why did it appear here?


    Even if he hadn''t believed in these supernatural things since he was a little kid, the current situation still made Luo Qiqi''s heart thump uncontrollably.


    Although she wasn''t confident, she was used to hiding her emotions, so she didn''t show any signs of panic. Instead, she quickly adjusted her state of mind and calmly said:


    "I think you may have made a mistake. I did not participate in your company''s primary examination. Moreover, I have found a satisfactory job. I am very grateful for your affirmation, but please allow me to withdraw from this second examination."


    The interviewer who thought he would be angry nodded his head in satisfaction upon hearing Luo Qiqi''s rejection. He lowered his head, picked up a pen, and placed a tick on a form.


    "That''s right, calm and collected in the face of situations. Although your EQ isn''t high, you still have a firm disposition."


    Hearing such an evaluation, Luo Qiqi only pursed his lips, but did not refute.


    Her EQ and IQ were not high, and even her appearance was not good either. She could only be said to be the most ordinary orphan in the world.


    But now that she was able to graduate from a famous university and successfully enter the company she liked to work at the job she liked, she had suffered through a lot and managed to hold on step by step. So, no matter how others evaluated her, it was still someone else''s problem.


    The interviewer''s sharp gaze swept across Luo Qiqi''s face, a look of satisfaction appearing in his eyes. Not bad, not belittling himself or overestimating himself. To be able to accurately evaluate himself, knowing his own limitations, that was very good.


    "I''m Yuan Ling''s HR representative. I''m sure Ms. Luo Qiqi still remembers that name."


    Yuanling! Upon hearing this name, Luo Qiqi immediately recalled that she had indeed sent a resume to this company, and she had a deep impression of this company.


    The reason why she was so impressed was that the company had a strange name. The sound was very similar to the ''vengeful spirit'', and the other reason was that this company, which had announced the nature of its services, had a very high salary.


    At one point, she thought it was a service company in a particular industry. After all, it was unusual for a service worker to offer a higher salary than the director of a foreign company.


    After thinking about it, she decided to send him a resume, thinking that if he found something was wrong, he might as well not go to work. Besides, with her clean clothing and ordinary appearance, if it really was that sort of business, he probably wouldn''t want her.


    On the other hand, if this company was a normal service company, then with her salary, her desire to buy a house in this city would be realized in less than three years.


    After entering her resume, she didn''t take this matter to heart. When she received her favorite company''s office, she naturally forgot about this strange company.


    However, she had unexpectedly participated in the second round without any preparation. Moreover, she didn''t have any impression of her appearance here. Everything that had happened was too strange.


    "Yuanling, I remember. It''s just that I''ve already found a job, so your good intentions ¡­"


    Without waiting for Luo Qiqi to finish speaking, the interviewer waved his left hand and a wall on the left side of the meeting room became a screen. The scene on the screen made Luo Qiqi break out in a cold sweat.


    She saw her own pale face appear on the screen under the light of the invisible lamp. In the image, she had an oxygen tube in her nose, her hair had been completely shaved, a long knife had been opened in her head, and she was surrounded by doctors in dark green surgical suits and masks and wielding shining scalpels over her head. Her legs and abdomen were also bleeding profusely, and the doctors were busy helping her stop the bleeding and stitch the wound.


    "You see, right? This is the current state of your fleshly body. If you refuse this second round of examination, your fleshly body will die."


    "What about my soul?" Although she was an orphan, she did not dislike the world at all. After going through so many hardships, it was finally time for her to have a good life. She did not want this to end.


    "Soul!? "Hehe, you realized the root of the problem so quickly. It''s such a pity that you didn''t join our company." The interviewer chuckled, then continued:


    "Your soul is simply queuing up to enter the Underworld. As for whether you''ll be reincarnated as a human, a pig or a dog, or stay in the Underworld and become a spirit soul, that will depend on your luck."


    "Who the hell are you? What is this company?" This matter was too strange. From the moment she was thrown into the hospital by a falling object for no reason, to the moment when she was sitting in the meeting room and having the strange interview, everything seemed very strange.


    "I''m Yuan Ling''s HR, and I''m in charge of hiring people." The interviewer once again repeated the acceptance that he had made right from the start with a good temper. Seeing the doubtful look in Luo QIqi''s eyes, the interviewer couldn''t help but smile as he extended a piece of white paper in front of her.


    "Maybe you can take some time to read the company''s profile first and then consider joining the company and becoming our employee."


    Luo Qiqi doubtfully received the white paper. As she looked at the originally empty paper, black words quickly appeared.


    Resentment Service Company: A company that specializes in helping resentful spirits get what they want. As long as resentful spirits are willing to sacrifice their souls, then no matter what wishes they have, they will do their best to fulfill them. After this is done, the vengeful spirits will give a satisfactory score, and if they are not satisfied, they can apply for a second service until the vengeful spirits are satisfied.


    "The Specter Service?" This strange introduction, coupled with the scene he had just seen, made Luo Qiqi understand something. In other words, her current form was a soul form. What about the Heavens! How could she have met with such a situation? Although she believed in the matters of the soul, and did not believe it, she really did not expect that one day, she would become a strand of soul without a physical entity.


    Luo Qiqi took in a deep breath. Although she knew that her soul could not absorb air by doing this, this was the only way for her to calm down.


    If this was not a dream, then she had better recognize reality and strive for the greatest benefit.


    "What will you give me if I promise? If I don''t agree, what will you do to me? "


    Promise, you are an employee of our company and will enjoy the full set of benefits our company provides to our employees. Not only can you be promoted by your own efforts, but as long as you become a partner of our company, you will also have the right to dispose of your body. During your term of office, we will freeze the world you live in.


    Hearing such tempting and generous terms, Luo Qiqi did not go mad with joy. Her miserable life had told her that there was no such thing as a free lunch. Since the conditions were so tempting, it was likely that the process would be very difficult.


    Moreover, at this moment, she had a very big question in her heart.


    "Sealing my world!? Are you sure that your company has such a great power, that your company can transcend the cycle of heavens? "


    "Hahaha, looks like Ms. Luo Qi Qi looks down on our company, this universe has countless worlds, the planet you live on is like a speck of dust in the universe, it exists or disappears doesn''t matter, the countless galaxies under our company''s control, not to mention it is just a small world, it''s only using one world as the price, if you can get an outstanding employee, it''s also a worthwhile transaction."


    "If all of you were as powerful as you say, why would you need to collect the souls of vengeful spirits and directly destroy a world? Wouldn''t you be able to obtain countless souls?" What she had heard today had greatly exceeded the scope of her knowledge. To receive and digest this information, she would need time.


    "Thinking? Not bad, you''re indeed the person I picked. It doesn''t matter if you don''t understand. What I''m afraid of is pretending to understand if you don''t understand." Only after the interviewer gave a clear assessment of the situation did he directly answer Luo Qiqi''s question.


    "The soul has to be sacrificed voluntarily before it can be taken over by the company, unleashing its proper function, forcefully destroying the soul body will only be floating in the universe, becoming trash in the universe. The accumulation of trash over a long period of time will only cause trouble."


    Luo Qiqi could not help but furrow his brows when he heard her disregarding people. She was originally a human as well. Could it be that the original her was just like an ant to this person?


    As if he had seen through Luo Qiqi''s thoughts, the interviewer chuckled and said gently, "You don''t need to be so arrogant. If you had lived like me for the past ten million years, there naturally wouldn''t be so much injustice. The survival of the strong is of no use, no matter where you put it."


    "Why did you choose me? There are a lot of people stronger than me."


    Faced with this question, the interviewer calmly looked at her for a long time, as if he wanted to know if she was sincere in asking this question. After seeing the serious expression on her face, she then said, "You''re suitable. We don''t want the strongest person, as long as it''s the most suitable."


    "Why do you think I''m suitable?" She still had a lot of questions that she wanted answers to. Even if she was forced to accept this seemingly ridiculous job because of the current situation, she still hoped that before she started her work, she would have enough understanding of this job. At the very least, she needed to know what kind of advantages she had in this job.


    "Intuition!" The interviewer didn''t seem to want to easily fulfill Luo Qiqi''s wish. After tossing out the infuriating word, he disappeared from the meeting room.


    Luo Qiqi helplessly sat back down and looked around the empty meeting room. She watched helplessly as the meeting room rapidly turned into an office. She felt as if she was in a very absurd dream.

 C2

    At this moment, the wall that was projecting her physical condition suddenly flashed. The scene changed and a long paragraph of words appeared. If one looked carefully, it was the employee code.


    Luo Qiqi quickly retracted his attention and focused on reading the staff rules.


    She didn''t know if this rule only appeared once, but if she failed to remember the key point and made a mistake in her work, she definitely didn''t want to see it happen. Moreover, she wasn''t sure what kind of punishment she would face if she failed in her work.


    It turned out that Luo Qiqi''s worries were reasonable. After carefully reading the employee code that was not too long ago, Luo Qiqi sat powerlessly on the chair behind him and could not help but smile wryly.


    This could be considered as having left the tiger''s den and entered the wolf''s lair. Although she had temporarily preserved her body, the staff rules were filled with strict punishments, and any violation of those rules would cause her to disappear from this world in an instant. Not only her body, but even her soul would disappear.


    But it was too late to regret it now. The first rule of the staff code was that once you agreed to take up a post, you could not leave without permission, or else your soul would be destroyed.


    Forget it, since there is no turning back, then I will just walk forward. Any test, there will be a day when it ends.


    Luo Qiqi ran through the contents of her work in her mind.


    The staff code said that this meeting room would be her office in the future. She was unable to go out on her own, and the things she needed would be provided in this room based on her needs. After all, she was a soul now, she didn''t need to eat, sleep, or even change clothes.


    The wall in front of her would transmit the work that she needed to do. In fact, the content of her work was very similar to that of the wiring staff in her original world, and if the vengeful spirit was willing to give up its soul, the wall would automatically broadcast the scenes of its life. Some vengeful spirits had a very clear purpose, and they would voluntarily tell the company what they needed to accomplish for it.


    After the completion of the task, the executor returns to this office. The wall tells the executor if the vengeful spirit is satisfied with this service. If it is satisfied, the company will give a certain amount of spirit coins as reward. On the contrary, if one was unsatisfied, then the corresponding spirit coins would be deducted from the person''s satisfaction. If one was unsatisfied, then the person would be directly expelled.


    Thinking of this, a list automatically appeared in Luo Qi''s mind. It clearly listed the value of the spirit currency required for each of the special functions. For example, if she wanted to buy a good impression value, she would need to spend 600 spirit coins. Once she bought this feature, in the world of quests, anyone who wanted to get a good impression from her would have their affability level increase by 50%. But in a single quest, only one person could use this function.


    There was almost nothing in the list that didn''t contain magical features like this. It could be said that there were only functions that one couldn''t imagine, and there were no functions that were not available for sale.


    And the more spirit coins she had, the more special functions she would be able to purchase, and the more help she would have in carrying out missions in the future.


    This time, as a reward, the company gave Luo Seven and Seven hundred spirit coins, which corresponded to the list in her mind. This little spirit currency really did have a pitiful amount of functions, the functions inside basically required at least 500 spirit coins, and there were even some functions that could only be purchased with tens of thousands of spirit coins.


    Currently, all she could buy was some physical improvements, such as a slim figure, beautiful eyes, and cherry lips. Luo Qi Qi was absolutely unwilling to spend the only 100 spirit coins she had on these things, she would rather keep them and use them when she was free.


    Although some of the features were very expensive, these expensive features could still support one-time lease. Although they could only be used in the current mission and could not be used in the next one, compared to the purchased functionality, the rental would be much weaker, but the advantage was that the price was much cheaper, the rent was only 10% of the purchase price. In other words, if she were to use these functions at the most crucial moment, she could rent these 100 spirit coins to a value of 1000.


    Having a general understanding of the work pattern, Luo Qiqi turned her attention back to the path of promotion. She did not forget that the interviewer had said that if she could become a partner of the company, she would have the right to choose to return to her original world and live her life. Although her life was filled with hardships and regrets, she still hoped to finish it eventually.


    As a beginner task holder, as long as you get 10 satisfactory rewards, you can be promoted to an intermediate task holder. As such, if you get another 10 satisfactory rewards, you will be promoted to a senior task holder, and as long as you get another 5 satisfactory rewards, you can be promoted to a partner of the company. In other words, as long as you complete 35 successful missions, you can fulfill your own wish.


    In addition to the fact that he could not guarantee a 100% success every time, there would always be times where he would be dissatisfied with the rewards. In this way, the path to advancement was actually not easy, especially after becoming a high-level task, where the task he had to accept would become a mission for the beginner level task holders. In terms of difficulty, this was not just a step higher.


    However, Luo Qi Qi Qi didn''t want to bow her head in the face of difficulties. As long as there was hope in front of her, she would charge forward.


    After silently encouraging herself in her heart, Luo Qiqi returned and carefully studied the function list in her mind. She had a feeling that this list was something very important, and she needed to carefully study every function''s introduction, memorizing the price of each function. When necessary, she would immediately use spirit coins to purchase the functions she needed.


    Martial Arts Talents: Costs 2000 spirit coins. Anyone who obtains this ability can gain a miraculous skeleton in the world of quests. Their meridians will open up and their body will be much smoother. Anyone who practices martial arts will be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort.


    Super Memory: 1000 spirit coins. Anyone who obtains this ability can have photographic memory in the Quest World.


    devastatingly beautiful looks: the price is 5000 spirit coins, whoever obtains this ability will have the most beautiful looks and body in the world of quests, being loved by the opposite sex.


    Just as Lily was carefully reading the contents of the list, a "ding" resounded in her mind. Opening her eyes, she saw a face filled with resentment on the wall in front of her.


    Luo Qiqi composed himself and greeted the woman with a resentful gaze. Following the staff member''s code of etiquette, he took the initiative to greet her.


    "Hello, I''m Luo Qiqi. I''m very happy to be of service to you. May I ask how I can help you?"


    After greeting him, Luo Qiqi didn''t ask any more questions, but patiently waited for the vengeful spirit in front of him to speak.


    The woman in the picture was very pretty. Even though she was wearing tattered clothes and her hair was in a mess, it did not hide the temperament that had been cultivated on her since she was young.


    She let out a long sigh as she raised her head to look at Luo Qiqi, creasing her brow slightly as if she was not very satisfied with how young Luo Qiqi was. But in the end, she did not say anything.


    This vengeful spirit was known as Bai Qi, born in a well-known commercial family in the capital. When the country was first founded, the Bai family spent all their money to buy food and ammunition and donated them to the country. After the national situation stabilized, the Bai family, as a big contributor, received praise and rewards from the government.


    However, almost all the men of the Bai Clan died for their country in the chaos of war. In the end, only the young master of the Bai Clan, Bai Jiasheng, was left on the battlefield due to his poor health.


    Due to physical reasons, after this final male disciple of the Bai Clan grew up and married, he only had seven or seven daughters, and from then on, there was nothing left of him. Moreover, his body continued to deteriorate with his age, and before he was forty, he could no longer hold on.


    Before he died, he betrothed his only daughter to his good friend''s son, Mu Yunzhu. He did not expect the Bai Family to shine in the hands of his daughter, he only hoped that his only daughter could live a happy life peacefully. For this reason, he would rather hire the entire Bai Clan.


    Luckily, the good friend that Bai Jiasheng had entrusted to him was someone reliable. He had always treated Bai Qi as his own daughter and was even closer to him than his own son, Mu Yunzhu. He would always give some advice to Mu Yunjiu, telling him to take good care of his fianc¨¦e.


    She had thought that she would become Mu Yunzhu''s wife as a matter of course. In order to become a qualified Mrs. Mu, after her 18th birthday, she had to bear the loneliness of leaving her hometown, gave up her favorite economics major, and went to the French brides'' school, wholeheartedly wanting to become the woman behind Mu Yunzhu.


    However, the change happened after she left the country. Bai Qi had lived in a superior environment since he was young, and he had a simple personality, so he was willing to help out the vulnerable. She did not expect that the little orphan girl she accidentally saved would become the biggest nightmare in her life.


    When she returned home, she found that this little orphan girl, who couldn''t bear it any longer and had been placed in the Mu family as a housenurse, had actually taken advantage of her absence from the country to have an affair with Mu Yunzhu. Bai Qi adored Mu Yunzhu and didn''t want him to be unable to face the elders of the Mu and Bai families, and also didn''t want their engagement to come to an end because of the intervention of a third party.


    Suppressing the anger in his heart, Bai Qi secretly looked for the ugly duckling who had turned into a swan. He wanted to make things clear in front of Shen Xiao. He hoped that she wouldn''t be a third party, so that she could leave by herself.

 C3

    However, while they were talking, Shen Xiaoxiao had secretly informed Mu Yunzhu and even purposely angered Bai Qi, allowing Mu Yunzhu to personally witness the scene of Bai Qi splashing water onto Shen Xiao in anger. After that, under Shen Xiaoxiao''s provocation, Mu Yunzhu and Bai Qi had erupted into a series of bickering.


    Bai Qi had no choice but to make the decision on behalf of Old Man Mu, who had settled abroad. As for Mu Yunzhu, he thought that everything was because of Bai Qi, and his attitude towards him was even colder.


    In the end, under the pressure of the parents of both parties, Mu Yunzhu was still married to Bai Qi. However, ever since the day of their wedding, he had never been in the same room as Bai Qi, and Bai Qi knew that Mu Yunzhu resented her, but she truly loved him and hoped that their relationship could be restored. As a result, she had concealed it for him, hoping that time could make up for the rift between the two of them.


    Ever since the marriage between the Mu and Bai Families, Mu Yunzhu had officially inherited the 30% of the Luo shares that Bai Jiasheng had gifted to him when they were engaged. In the following three years of their marriage, in order to save Mu Yunzhu''s heart, Bai Qi had constantly given his own shares to him. In less than three years, Mu Yunzhu''s shares had exceeded 50% and he had absolute authority in the Bai Family.


    At the same time, because Bai Qi had never complained to Old Man Mu, Old Man Mu thought that Mu Yunzhu had accepted the unwillingness of this marriage. He was also assured that he would be able to transfer all the shares of the Mu Family to Mu Yunzhu and live a leisurely life abroad.


    Just when Bai Qi thought that the days would continue to pass peacefully, Mu Yunzhu suddenly appeared in front of him along with Shen Xiao. At the same time, a three year old boy and a two year old girl appeared.


    Only now did Bai Qi realize that Shen Xiao had never truly left. She had only been hidden in the shadows by Mu Yunzhu. These three years, he hadn''t come to her room, nor touched her because of Shen Xiao.


    As Shen Xiao proudly watched Mu Yunzhu place the divorce papers in front of her, the pain that Bai Qi had been suppressing for three years finally exploded. She hysterically tore apart the divorce papers and sternly told Mu Yunzhu that if she wanted to get a divorce, she had to die.


    The same day, Mu Yunzhu packed up his luggage and officially moved out of the villa they had bought during their marriage. In truth, to Bai Qi, it didn''t matter whether he moved away or not since the things he left behind were only a few of his clothes. For the past three years, he had only returned to this villa so he could be considered to have slept in a guest room.


    However, facing this empty villa, Bai Qi still felt his heart empty.


    After waiting for three years, Shen Xiao seemed to have been unable to wait any longer. She believed that Mu Yunzhu held the majority of the Mu Family''s shares, and even if Old Man Mu came back, he still wouldn''t be able to do anything to her. Thus, he would often bring his children to show them off in front of Bai Qi, even publicly claiming that he was the real Mrs. Mu.


    Bai Qi was provoked by Shen Xiao''s provocations again and again until he couldn''t sleep at night. Finally, under Shen Xiao''s provocation, he did a foolish thing. She listened to her friend''s advice, paid for someone to kidnap a pair of Shen Xiao''s children, and threatened her to leave Mu Yunzhu.


    Initially, she only wanted to put on an act to scare Shen Xiao off, but an accident happened during the kidnapping. The eldest son of Shen Xiaoxiao and Mu Yunzhu fell off their car and died during the kidnapping incident.


    Bai Qi was also frightened by this turn of events. Facing the resentment of Mu Yunzhu and Shen Xiao, as well as the disappointed eyes of old grandpa Mu as he rushed over after hearing the news, she was at a loss for words.


    Although Old Man Mu doted on her, the one who died was his own biological grandson. He really couldn''t face Bai Qi calmly, let alone support her like before.


    Finally, Old Ye Mu let out a long sigh, completely ignoring the matter between her and Mu Yunzhu.


    Two years ago, Bai Qi''s mother passed away due to illness, and now, Old Man Mu did not care about her anymore. Bai Qi was the only person left in the world who had lost his last backing, and he had accidentally caused the death of an innocent child.


    As for Mu Yunzhu and Shen Xiao, they seemed to have let go of all their misgivings and openly began to deal with her. First, they charged her with kidnapping, then charged her for murder, then sold off Bai''s stock at a low price.


    If she had let go of him earlier, would he have found another happiness long ago? Would the Bai Clan''s heritage from generation to generation not have been destroyed in her hands, and would that small life not have perished? Although she did not like him, she really did not want him to die.


    However, just as she was about to turn herself in, Shen Xiaoxiao brought someone to her house late at night. She first gave her a good beating, and then she actually let those people she brought violate her, so she whispered into her ear before she left:


    "When my son died, I finally understood how Wu Zetian felt when he strangled his daughter to death. That kind of pain, I will definitely take it out on you."


    What did this mean!? Could it be that the accident during the kidnapping was not an accident, but an accident set up by Shen Xiaoxiao? How did she do it? Just to get rid of her, she actually tried to harm her own son and blamed her for it!


    Knowing the truth, Bai Qi ignored the scars all over his body and rushed to the police station in the middle of the night. However, when she told the truth, none of the policemen believed her.


    However, even though they suspected it, they still couldn''t let her escape just because they thought she was crazy. Instead, they locked her up in the detention center and waited for the trial.


    Not knowing what method Mu Yunzhu used, the case was quickly decided. Even though she denied it in court, but no one believed her, she was still sentenced to death. A few days later, a gun took her life, the dignified Bai Family''s daughter actually ended up like this.


    It''s the first night, time to come!


    She had clearly been a victim of a third party and had never done anything wrong from the beginning to the end. She just did not want to give up on the marriage that should have belonged to her, why did she have to pay such a price, why did she have to suffer so much, why did she fail to protect the Bai Clan''s century-old foundation? She could not accept this, even if she had to sacrifice her soul, she would never be able to reincarnated, even if it meant she had to take revenge, and she had to make Shen Xiao pay the price.


    After reading through Bai Qi''s short life experience, Luo Qi couldn''t help but shake his head in his heart. What the hell was this? Such a good hand, yet he was beaten into such a state. His family background was so impressive, and he had Mu Jiaxing as his backer.


    My wish is very simple, I want to protect the Bai clan and let it shine in my hands, I want Shen Xiao to pay the price for what she has done. Mu Yunzhu, he was the first to go against me, he was heartless and merciless in the end, he made my life a joke, I have given up on him now, but letting him go so easily is impossible, I want him to have a taste of the pain that he cannot bear.


    Bai Qi faintly looked at Luo Qiqi, gritting his teeth as he spoke out his wishes. It was as if every word of his was filled with resentment.


    No matter what he thought in his heart, since Luo Qi Qi had received the trust, she didn''t refuse the client''s request.


    After secretly assessing the difficulty of these requests, she quickly nodded her head and smiled as she agreed.


    "Rest assured, I will do my best to fulfill your wish."


    When she opened her eyes again, she was already sitting in a luxurious living room. There seemed to be someone beside her who was talking to her, and when she turned to look towards the source of the voice, she saw Old Man Mu looking at her with a face full of worry.


    Seeing this benevolent old man that he had seen several times in the video, Luo QIqi immediately understood that she had already entered the mission. She did not have the time to scold the company for being unreliable, nor did she have the time to notify her before she entered the mission.


    "Seventh little girl, are you alright? Why do I feel that your face isn''t right? Did the jet lag behind after just returning from France?" Her father had died early, and her mother''s health was not good, so she could not take good care of her. Although she had the financial support of the Bai Clan, for such a young girl, compared to her pressured family business, what she needed more was the care and care of her family.


    As Old Man Mu asked, Luo Qiqi quickly recalled the current situation. She had appeared at a rather good time, the day that Bai Qianzhang returned from his graduation. It seemed that the company had given her a relatively simple mission after considering her status as a newcomer.


    She had originally planned on having a pleasant surprise, but now there was only surprise and not joy. She had just heard from Old Man Mu that a year ago, Mu Yunzhu had already moved out of the Mu family and was living alone in an apartment downtown with Shen Xiao.


    See you on Wednesday night

 C4

    Mu Yunzhu gave an excuse, now he had to be in charge of both Mu Family and Bai Family. He was busy with work, and had to go back and forth from work every day for a long time, so he wanted to concentrate more on his work. The reason he brought Shen Xiao along was because she could take care of her daily life.


    Moreover, Shen Xiaoxiao had been introduced by Bai Qianzhang to help the servants of the Mu family. He had never thought that Mu Yunzhu would fail to inform Bai Qianzhang of this matter, and his son had actually left Bai Qianzhi, a beautiful fianc¨¦e behind to ignore him. He had fallen in love with a delicate and pretty maid.


    When Bai Qi heard this news, he suppressed the discomfort in his heart and made a lie for Mu Yunzhu. However, now that he had changed his mind, he did not care whether Mu Yunzhu would be scolded by Old Man Mu. If Old Man Mu could help her teach Mu Yunzhu a lesson, she would be more than happy.


    Therefore, she pouted and said with an aggrieved expression on her face, "Uncle Mu, Yun Zhu has moved to the city center. Why didn''t he let me know? Is it because I''ve been gone for so many years that his heart has drifted apart from me? "


    Old Man Mu originally felt tender towards Bai Qi because of his good friend''s dying request. However, when he saw Bai Qi''s pitiful begging for comfort, his heart softened and he quickly consoled,


    I will call him back to apologize to you later. You are his fiancee, how can he move without discussing with you? Today, when you came back, he did not go to pick you up.


    In the past, Bai Qi had always wanted to be a good daughter-in-law. He knew that Old Man Mu doted on her, but she had never pampered him. She had always been gentle and courteous.


    She had grown up in an orphanage and had received alms from people of all walks of life. Observing her appearance was her way of life, even if it wasn''t accurate, she was still very accurate.


    When she thought back to Old Man Mu''s attitude toward Bai Qi in the information, combined with the current situation, she was almost certain that if she wrapped herself up as a weakling, she would be able to seek help and rely on him in front of Old Man. Instead, she would be able to get more support from him.


    But at the same time, he also had to remember never to ever hope that his position in Old Man Mu''s heart was higher than Mu Yunzhu''s. Acting coquettishly to curry favor with his own son was one thing, if he wanted to slander his own son in front of his father, being too direct would only arouse disgust.


    "Uncle Mu, don''t scold Yun Zhu. He made the decision to move without discussing it with me. Perhaps he just thinks that it''s a small matter. He''s too busy working right now and can forget about it for a while. I''m just worried ¡­" Bai Qi looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. He lowered his head halfway and bit his lips, as if he was unable to say what he was about to say.


    Hearing that Bai Qi was still trying to find an excuse for his son, Old Man Mu felt gratified in his heart. At the same time, he felt a little heartache for Bai Qi.


    "Seventh little girl, if you have anything to worry about, just tell Uncle Mu. Don''t worry, Uncle Mu will help you!"


    Bai Qi raised his head and glanced at Old Man Mu before biting his lips. He seemed to be conflicted. Finally, as if he had made a firm decision, he timidly said,


    "Uncle Mu, I just heard you say that Yun Zhu moved out with Shen Xiao. Although Shen Xiao was a servant introduced by me to the Mu family, she is still a young single woman. They have been living together under the same roof for a long time ¡­" If there''s anything out there that''s not good... "Then ¡­"


    Deliberately not finishing his words and leaving enough imagination space for the other party, this was also a kind of art of language.


    Although he didn''t think that his son had such a sharp eye and that he would abandon such a beautiful fianc¨¦e like Bai Qi and end up with an ordinary maid, as Bai Qi had said, the most important thing for upper class was their reputation. If something bad had really come out of it, then it would be very hard to deal with them.


    "Seventh Miss, you''re right. A lone man and a single woman isn''t appropriate. Later, I''ll have my family''s housekeeper bring Shen Xiao back. I assume Yun Zhu has no reason to oppose this."


    Old Man Mu was thinking very well, but reality would definitely put him in a bad position.


    Bai Qi snickered in his heart. If she remembered correctly, Mu Yunzhu and Shen Xiaoxiao already had a deeper relationship and were only hiding it from everyone. At this time, it was likely that Old Man Mu had suddenly asked to separate them.


    Furthermore, if he knew that it was because of her that Old Man Mu had made such a decision, then he would have to find her immediately to settle the score.


    What she wanted was for him to come knocking on her door of his own accord. At that time, she would naturally prepare a huge gift for him.


    Having succeeded in burying a nail in Old Man Mu''s heart, Bai Qi took his leave and returned home.


    Just as her car stopped in front of the villa''s entrance, a slim, elegant, middle-aged beauty walked out. Her face was very similar to Bai Qi and was filled with excitement. Even her bright eyes were shrouded in a layer of mist.


    It was unknown whether or not he was affected by the original owner''s emotions, but Bai Qi felt his eyes grow hot and his hand cover his face.


    "Seventh Brother, you''re back!" This simple sentence almost made Bai Qi cry.


    She quickly went over and hugged her mother who was waiting for her at the door.


    "Mom, I''m sorry. I''m back."


    Her mother''s death was a knot that Bai Qi could not let go of in his heart. While she was working hard for her love, she had completely neglected her one and only family member. Even when her mother had reached the end of her life, she did not know.


    But even so, before her mother passed away, she was still concerned about her. The last words she said before she died were, "Seventh Madame, you must be happy. Only when you are free will you have a chance.


    At that time, Bai Qi did not understand, and continued to persist in his love, but now that Bai Qi thought of these words again, his heart was filled with clarity. Perhaps his mother knew that his daughter''s love was hopeless in the end, but she did not want her daughter to lose her last hope, so she could only silently warn her, hoping that there would come a day when she would understand. However, in the end, Bai Qi did understand, but his life had also ended.


    The mother and daughter duo silently cried as they stood at the entrance. After a long while, the mother reached out and lightly patted Bai Qi''s back. She pretended to be angry and said:


    "You still know how to come back and say sorry? Why didn''t you know when you left your mother and went to France alone!"


    Although she was complaining, her mother still pulled Bai Qi into the room and ordered the servants in the house to serve the dishes as soon as they entered.


    "Mom purposely stewed your favorite carp soup, which is the same color as your favorite milk."


    As she spoke, her voice was choked with sobs. Her daughter clearly wasn''t used to Western cuisine, but for the sake of Mu Yunzhu, she had stayed in France for such a long time. This person had lost a lot of weight.


    "Mom, I want the soup to be covered with many green onions. It looks really nice." Bai Qi had never experienced the warmth of a mother''s love, so he felt a little unnatural facing his mother. He purposefully laughed and changed the topic, not wanting to continue to incite any more feelings. Otherwise, he didn''t know if she would reveal anything.


    When they first met, because of the influence of the original owner, her emotions were a little too agitated, but Bai Qi quickly calmed down. After all, he was not the original owner, so some of his subconscious habits would be greatly different. Perhaps he could hide it from others, but it would be rather difficult to hide it from this loving mother.


    Hearing his daughter say that she liked him, his mother pulled him into the dining room. She was extremely busy with food and clothing, and he understood her feelings. He smiled and let her busy herself without stopping.


    After dinner, when the two of them were sitting in the living room, about to talk about their many years of parting, the doorbell rang.


    The lady in white let the servant open the door doubtfully. Then, she spoke with an underestimation, "Who would come at this time?"


    Indeed, it was only eight or nine o''clock in the morning, and very few people would choose this time to visit someone else.


    The corner of Bai Qi''s mouth twitched, revealing a mocking smile. Since the doorbell was pressed so urgently, this person must be Mu Yunzhu, the one who came to denounce him. From this, it could be seen that the old man had already spoken for Shen Xiaoxiao to return to the Mu residence.


    Mu Yunzhu did not dare to disobey her father''s orders. She could only vent her anger on the instigator. This time, she would probably reveal her trump card.


    But... Hehe, she wouldn''t give him a chance to lay his cards on the table. She wanted them to openly destroy the marriage contract in the name of true love! That would be letting them off too easily.


    Bai Qi''s wish was to let Mu Yunjiu have a taste of what he was looking for, and also let Shen Xiao receive the retribution she deserved. Why not let this pair of mandarin ducks not be a pair, in any case, Bai Qi''s wish did not come from finding someone else to marry, so she would risk her life to drag them down and see who could drag who out.


    As expected, the servant that entered the room was the unhappy Mu Yunzhu. When he saw his white mother, he only greeted her in a formal manner and did not soften his attitude because of the presence of his elders.


    Bai Qi cursed silently in his heart. "You disrespectful scum! Do you really think that just because Bai Qi likes you, you can be so rampant in the Bai Clan!?"


    Although her mother was dissatisfied with Mu Yunzhu''s frivolous attitude, when she thought of how her daughter wholeheartedly adored him, she could only swallow her anger and greet him with a smile.


    "Oh, it''s Yun Zhu. Why are you here at this time? Did you come to see her after finding out that Qi Qi Qi had returned?" Moreover, his daughter had already been at home for so long, and he just arrived late. To say that he had his own daughter in his heart, no one would believe him, but he couldn''t bear to have his own daughter like him. Sigh ¡­


    "Auntie Bai, can I talk to Qi Qi Qi alone for a while?"


    There was no courtesy in saying such straightforward words. The White Mother could not help but frown.


    "Mom, I''ve just come back and haven''t had a bath. It''s been a long journey, so it feels really bad. Go upstairs and help me store some water. I''ll be able to wash up soon." Bai Qi hugged his mother''s arm and acted like a spoiled child. A sweet smile appeared on his charming face that his mother could not bear to refuse.


    Her mother pointed at her daughter''s forehead and could only helplessly say, "You!" Then he turned his head to the side and glanced at Mu Yunzhu. "Yunzhu, 77% has just returned. If there''s anything important to say, say it. Do you understand?"

 C5

    It was rare for Mu Yunzhu to see Bai Qianzhang acting like a spoiled child. In addition to the fact that Bai Qiqi was already beautiful, he had not seen him for so many years. He was truly stunned.


    Waiting until his mother went upstairs, Bai Qi immediately put away the smile on his face. He looked coldly at Mu Yunzhu, who had walked to the sofa and sat down. The corner of his mouth twitched; he really thought of himself as the master of the Bai Clan.


    "It was you who asked Dad to bring Xiaoxiao back to the Mu family!?" Thinking back to the phone call she had just received with a tearful voice, Mu Yunzhu''s attitude turned forceful once again. She looked at Bai Qi in displeasure and started to interrogate him.


    "Xiaoxiao?" "Who is it? I don''t know such a character." Bai Qiqi picked up the cup from the tea table and slowly took a sip of the warm milk in the cup, an absent-minded expression on his face.


    "I don''t know you. If you don''t know me, why would you dare to take him away? Bai Qi, you must be capable to make a trip to France!" Mu Yunzhu slapped the sofa and reprimanded her harshly. He glared at Bai Qi as if he wanted to bite a piece of meat off him.


    Since he was young, his father had told him to take good care of Bai Qi. The Bai Family was his benefactor, and Bai Qi was someone he had to love all his life, so he lost a lot of freedom. He was seven years younger than Bai Qi, and they had no common language, but they were forced to always be together.


    Now, with great difficulty, he finally found true love. But now that Bai Qi had come back and separated them from each other, how could he endure this?


    "So you''re talking about Shen Xiao. Look at the way you''re addressing her. Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, which puppy did you call her?" Ignoring Mu Yunzhu''s angry gaze, Bai Qi continued, "I was the one who delivered Shen Xiaoxiao to the Mu Family to take care of Old Master''s body. What''s wrong with calling her back?"


    At first, Mu Yunzhu did not think that Bai Qi was different. In the past, she would never have treated him with such a cold attitude. If he was angry, then no matter if it was her fault, she would immediately apologize.


    "Shen Xiao has always been taking care of my daily life, I''m used to it. Later on, you can tell my father to bring her back, and I want to take care of both Bai and Mu family. I''m very busy, so I don''t wish to be held up by these trivial matters." Very quickly, Mu Yunzhu chose to ignore the change in Bai Qianzhi, and wholeheartedly wanted to bring his woman back to his side.


    "Oh ~ ~ ~ So it''s like that!" Since you are so busy, Yun Zhu, why don''t you concentrate on managing the Mu Family? "


    Mu Yunzhu, who had originally thought that Bai Qi would agree, was taken aback by these words. He immediately stood up and glared at Bai Qianzhang. "What do you mean by that?"


    He slowly shook the cup in his hand, and looked at the milky white liquid in the cup rhythmically swaying back and forth. Only then did he unconcernedly say, "Didn''t you say that you couldn''t handle this? After all, the Bai Family isn''t your responsibility and we haven''t gotten married yet. How could I continue to trouble you?"


    Bai Qi stood up, not giving Mu Yunzhu a chance to speak, and continued, "I think rather than letting you sacrifice your own life and continue running for the Bai Family, I should let you relax a little. Bai Qi stood up, not giving Mu Yunzhu a chance to speak, and continued," I think instead of letting you sacrifice your own life and continue running for the Bai Family, I should relax you.


    "As for Shen Xiao, I sent that to the Mu Family to take care of Uncle Mu. If you really like it, why don''t you ask Uncle Mu yourself for it? He''s just a servant, I believe Uncle Mu won''t reject you, right?"


    Without waiting for Mu Yunzhu to react, Bai Qi let go of his hand and walked upstairs without looking back. He did not care about how Mu Yunzhu would react in the living room.


    Mu Yunzhu stared coldly at Bai Qianzhang''s departing back. Both of his hands were tightly clenched into fists by his side, and his eyes were filled with a chilling light.


    He wanted to see how this woman, who had never come into contact with a shopping mall, would shoulder the burden like the Bai clan. When the time came, he would let her cry and beg him to control the Bai clan.


    Bai Qi stood at the corner of the stairs, looking at Mu Yunzhu''s back as he left in a rage. He couldn''t help but sneer in his heart, Mu Yunzhu was still fine if she didn''t go to find Old Man Mu, but as long as he did, with her words as a foreshadowing, Old Man Mu would definitely think that his son''s actions were strange.


    As for Shen Xiao, she had been out for a long time and had a close relationship with Mu Yunzhu. She normally treated herself as a rich man''s wife, so how could she be at ease and return to being a servant now?


    When the time came, she would reveal herself to the old man. She didn''t believe that the old man would be able to tolerate this adulterous couple, Mu Yunzhu and Shen Xiao.


    After a day and a night of preparation, Bai Qi dressed himself up the next day. He looked like a capable white-collar worker. When he went downstairs, his mother was completely befuddled.


    "Qiqi, why are you wearing a suit? Didn''t you say that Yun Zhu doesn''t like your outfit?" Although she disagreed with her daughter''s feelings of being wronged by Mu Yunzhu being too important, her daughter suddenly had such a change. Her mother couldn''t help but worry, could it be that something had happened?


    "Mom, I''ve thought it through in those few years outside. You''re right. Women need to learn to love themselves before they can let others love you. I can''t erase all of my characteristics because of a man''s preferences."


    Holding her hand, he passed the toast to her and continued to explain with a puzzled look, "I''ve carefully considered this, but I still want to take over the management of the Bai clan. After all, Yun Zhu hasn''t married me yet, and after all, I haven''t been in the country for so many years, so it''s been troublesome enough for him. You also know that I really like business things, and my father has also praised me for having the talent to do business, so I think it''s more appropriate for me to take care of the Bai clan, don''t you?"


    "What you say makes sense, but ¡­" You suddenly said that you want to take over Bai Clan. Once you take over, there will be all sorts of tasks that you need to take over immediately. You have no experience either.


    At that time, his father was afraid that his precious daughter would have too much on her shoulders, so he made a will. As long as Mu Yunzhu and Bai Qi were to get married, he would immediately inherit 30% of the Bai family''s shares, and this was at the cost of making his daughter happy. Now that his daughter suddenly said that she wanted to take over the Bai family, she couldn''t help but be worried.


    First round!


    She knew in her heart that the white mother was a natural ally of hers. Although the white mother might not be of much help at work, if she wanted her plans to go smoothly, the support of the white mother would be needed. Thus, she pretended to be sad and lowered her head, sighing after a long time.


    "Mom, I won''t hide it from you. Mu Yunzhu already has a woman outside, and she''s an orphan that I rescued from a rogue a few years ago and sent to the Mu family to help with the servants." I will not take such an unfaithful man. Moreover, from this matter, we can see Mu Yunzhu''s nature. I am worried about handing over the Bai Family to him. "


    "What!?" That stinking Mu Yunzhu brat actually dares to do such a thing! " When her mother heard this, she was so angry that she immediately stood up. After so many years of self-restraint, she could not utter any bad words. She could not even take a single breath, and even her hands, which were propped up on the table, were trembling.


    "Mom, don''t be angry. This matter, I''ve already thought it through. Marriage is something that you and I wanted to do, and I liked Mu Yunzhu before, but that was only an immature relationship that every girl will experience. I don''t like him anymore, but I''m afraid that if I recklessly expose this matter, it will affect the reputation of the Bai Family. Furthermore, before I take over the Bai Family, I''m afraid Mu Yunzhu will do something that would be detrimental to the Mu Family, so I don''t want this matter to be made public for now."


    "He dares. He''s not afraid that your uncle Mu will flay his skin. Your uncle Mu swore before your father. The Mu family will treat you well." Saying that, the white mother turned around and wanted to walk out the door, "No, this is the fault of the Mu family. I will go ask Mu Zuxin for an explanation, I want to ask him, how did he make that promise, how could he let his son do such a shameless thing under his nose. After so many years, could it be that our Bai family hasn''t treated the Mu family well enough? "If your father hadn''t resisted the pressure from everyone and invested in the Mu family in time, the Mu family would have gone bankrupt long ago. How would they have had today''s day?"


    "Mom, calm down first. I''m afraid Uncle Mu still doesn''t know about this. Trust me, I''ll take care of this matter." Bai Qi brought his mother to the sofa in the living room and sat her down. He poured a glass of water for her and held her hand, looking at her with a firm gaze, hoping that his attitude would calm her down. Seeing that her mother was no longer as excited as before, he changed the topic. How come I didn''t know about this? "


    Her mother calmed down under Bai Qi''s comforting words. She calmed herself down and thought about it, Mu Zuxin was not such a perfidious person, and just like what Qi Qi Qi had said, it was fine if he didn''t want to be a carefree man like Mu Yunzhu.


    It would be best if the matters between children could be resolved peacefully, and there was no need to build a friendship with the older generation. To be fair, Mu Zuxin had indeed helped the Bai family a lot over the years, especially after his father died in the year 77.


    And most importantly, she didn''t believe that Qi Seven was really like how she said she was, that she could completely forget about Mu Yunzhu. After all, they had once had deep feelings for each other, and if Qi Seven still couldn''t let go of Mu Yunzhu and still wanted to marry him, then this layer of face between the two families couldn''t be torn apart right now.

 C6

    At that time, you were not even born, and because of Uncle Mu''s investment failure, the Mu family almost failed. He brought his wife and children to your father, who pitied his family, and so he gave a large sum of money to help them out of the valley. Speaking of which, the Bai family still has a large stake in the Mu family, and Uncle Mu took care of them all these years because he was grateful to your father for aiding them back then.


    Mu Yunzhu was really good. After marrying the original owner for so many years, he had never mentioned that the Bai Family still had shares in the Mu Family. When the original owner had died, they still hadn''t divorced.


    "You just said that if you want to take over the Bai Clan, you will talk to Uncle Mu about how you''re going to talk to him. Although your Uncle Mu dotes on you, as soon as you start talking to him, I''m afraid his father won''t be happy about you taking over the Bai Clan. Moreover, you just went to the Bai Clan, if no one is helping you, it will be very difficult for you." Now, after knowing that Mu Yunzhu had done something that would let down her daughter, her mother, Yun Zhu, was also unwilling to call her by name.


    "Mom, don''t worry, I''ll find a good time to talk to Uncle Mu, so he won''t be unhappy. You don''t have to worry about what happens in the company, but dad said before he died that there are many elders in the company who are very loyal to him. Even if they leave now, one or two of them will help me temporarily."


    Hearing how confident Bai Qi was, and how her expression didn''t seem to be faking it, Bai Qi''s mother let out a sigh of relief. However, as she breathed out in relief, her heart began to feel uncomfortable again.


    In order to be a good assistant, she had left her hometown and went to a bridal school in France for so long. Whatever Mu Yunzhu did not like, she would give up no matter how much she liked it, what was there to be unhappy about, that stinking brat actually liked a woman whose condition was inferior to her daughter''s. Moreover, she remembered that the woman had an ordinary appearance, and when she first saw her, she would only lower her head in a corner, occasionally glancing up very quickly.


    The more she thought about it, the angrier her mother got. Her body was not well to begin with, and her mood fluctuated so much in the morning that even her temples started to ache a little.


    Seeing that her mother''s expression wasn''t good, Bai Qi occasionally even rubbed his temples. She hurriedly stood up and walked around her mother, gently massaging in place of her mother.


    "Mom, you don''t have to worry about me. Don''t worry, I can take good care of myself. If there''s anything I need your help with, I will definitely say so. I definitely won''t take it head-on." Bai Qi bent down and embraced his mother''s neck, continuing with a pained heart, "If I say these things and cause you to feel unhappy, I''ll blame myself for it. I''ll take good care of myself. Do you know that you should also take good care of yourself?"


    Hearing her daughter''s worried words, the matriarch patted Bai Qi''s arm that was wrapped around her shoulder in comfort. "Don''t worry, I''ll be fine. I still want to live to see you find a good man and marry him!"


    Although Bai Qi did not think that he would marry and have children in the Mission World, he would not say anything that would ruin his mood, causing his mother to feel uncomfortable in her heart.


    After watching his mother eat breakfast and then seeing her go upstairs to rest, Bai Qiqi packed up his things and headed out to the Bai clan. She prepared to go and investigate the Bai clan first, and she was very confident in what her mother had said before, but in reality, she wasn''t that confident.


    Even if Bai Jiasheng was still alive, it was hard to estimate the thoughts of those few old officials. Not to mention that Bai Jiasheng had died for many years, and the Bai Family had not participated in any decisions made by the company for many years. On the contrary, Mu Yunzhu had become the future Young Master of the Bai Family, and Bai Jiasheng had promised to give him 30% of the shares.


    If the situation was really that serious, it was highly likely that she would exchange her remaining 100 spirit coins for a business skill. Bai Qi had good talent in business, but he did not receive a proper business education nor did he lack actual fighting in the market, let alone Luo Qiqi, who had just graduated from university. Where did he get the qualifications to compete with Mu Yunjiu?


    Fortunately, she remembered that there was a business skill in the Skill Shop. Although it was bought to become her real skill and brought to a different quest world in the future, if she were to rent it in this world, her 100 spirit coins would be just right.


    Of course, unless it was absolutely necessary, she didn''t want to use up these 100 spirit coins. After all, no one could guarantee that there wouldn''t be any life-threatening accidents during this mission.


    When they arrived at the Bai residence, Bai Qi did not use his identity as the heir to the Bai family to directly enter the company. Instead, he took out a fake reporter''s card that he had prepared beforehand and walked to the front desk.


    "Hello, I am a reporter from Everyday Finance. Our magazine is particularly interested in the new business model 020 that you proposed recently. I wonder if we can contact your company''s relevant department for a short visit."


    Bai Qi had already looked up a lot of business information about the Bai Family from the past few years on the internet, and also knew that the Bai Family had recently put in all their effort into promoting the business model of 020. For this reason, they had also invested a lot of effort into publicizing some of the mainstream media, and if one wanted to know the distribution of power in the company, one did not have to directly contact with the upper echelons.


    There was only one reason for her to use such a roundabout tactic. That was, without exposing herself, she would try her best to be prepared. She believed that she was not intelligent, so flying first was the only way to win.


    Soon enough, the front desk clerk contacted the PR Department, and the PR Department very quickly sent out a staff member to lead Bai Qi to the PR Department on the third floor. After entering a meeting room, the staff member simply asked about Bai Qi''s identity.


    Thinking about it, there must have been quite a few media outlets that had come to visit her during this period of time. Therefore, Mrs Bai didn''t pay too much attention to the media status that she had casually prepared, but it was still better to have a positive media coverage than having less. She received her with a good attitude.


    The person receiving Bai Qi introduced himself as the Senior Product Manager.


    Bai Qi carefully recalled the organization structure of the Bai Family. Senior product managers didn''t actually belong to the PR Department, but they would often be of use when receiving the media from the outside world, especially when new projects like this were released. Due to the product manager''s expertise in business, it was common for him to be temporarily seconded to deal with the media.


    "Hello, before the official interview, I would like to ask you something. I heard from a colleague that Miss Bai came back yesterday at the airport. Was she going back specifically for this new promotion?"


    The product manager was stunned for a moment. It was only after a few seconds that he remembered who the Miss Bai mentioned by Bai Qi was. Upon recalling it, he could not help but chuckle.


    Bai Qi was keenly aware that apart from the slight awkwardness within his laughter, there was also a hint of disapproval.


    "Miss Luo is really imaginative. Although Miss Bai is the only daughter of the late chairman, who doesn''t know that the real power of the Bai family is Mr Mu. Furthermore, Miss Bai has never stepped foot in the company''s affairs, so how could she possibly return home for the new project? Maybe he just came back to visit his family. "


    "I heard that Miss Bai holds the majority of the Bai Clan''s shares, do you not need Miss Bai to agree to some of your important decisions? Without the approval of the majority of the shareholders, and with such a huge project being launched directly, is your company not afraid of internal strife? "


    "No, Mr. Mu can decide the company''s affairs. All the shareholders will follow Mr. Mu''s lead. Miss Bai also trusts Mr. Mu so the situation that Miss Luo mentioned won''t happen."


    Hearing the firm answer from the product manager, Bai Qi frowned and pretended not to understand. "Although I''ve heard that Miss Bai and Mister Mu have an engagement, they''re not married yet. If the two of them disagree, then who would the Bai Family listen to?" While speaking, Bai Qi looked at the product manager''s expression and lightly tapped his head. He smiled and said, "Look at my mouth. It''s not good at all. Why would Miss Bai and Mr Mu be like this? Moreover, Miss Bai has so many shares. Even if they''re not the same, I presume the shares will be decided."


    Although the product manager didn''t say anything, the corners of his mouth curled up.


    Seeing this expression, Bai Qi''s heart couldn''t help but turn cold. It seemed that she was right. Even this small product manager knew that Mu Yunzhu was the one in charge of the company, not to mention those in charge.


    Having obtained the information he wanted, Bai Qi merely asked the questions he had seen in other financial magazines the previous night. After finishing the so-called interview, he immediately excused himself and left the company.


    Afterwards, Bai Qi drove to the Mu residence. She had already met one of the most important people in this mission, as well as another extremely important female lead. It was about time for them to go to the meeting.


    Since it was time for work, Mu Yunzhu was definitely not at the Mu residence, which gave her a chance to see Shen Xiao alone.


    Bai Qi was very clear in his heart. Even if Mu Yunzhu wanted to bring Shen Xiao back to his side, under the stimulation of her words yesterday, he would never rush back home and give her the chance to openly kick him out of the Bai clan for negligence.


    Although they had only met once yesterday, based on her ability to observe the situation and the Mu Yunzhu''s performance in Bai Qi''s memories, she was certain that Mu Yunzhu was a person with extremely high self-esteem, high self-esteem, liked to control everything, and did not like to be controlled by anyone. Bai Qianzhang''s existence, however, proved that he had once been humble.

    So no matter how much she was infatuated with him, how much she did for him, he wouldn''t look at her directly. On the contrary, Shen, who was born poor and had no backing and could only rely on him like a dodder, was his ideal woman.


    Arriving at the Mu residence, just as she parked the car in front of the villa, a slender figure appeared at the entrance. Bai Qi''s sharp senses caught sight of the person who alighted from the car, and the smile disappeared from his mouth.


    After standing stiffly at the doorway for a few seconds, Shen Xiao''s face was once again plastered with smiles as she faced Bai Qi.


    "Miss Bai, you''re back!"


    Bai Qi shot a contemptuous glance at Shen Xiao, a look of disdain on his face. As if he hadn''t heard her, he followed her through the door.


    Seeing Bai Qi''s expression, Shen Xiaoxiao''s already stiff smile stiffened. However, she clenched her fists and quickly recovered her smile. She followed him into the house.


    Upon entering the room, she saw Bai Qiqi snuggling up to Old Man Mu. It was unknown what he had said, but it made Old Man Mu smile so much that he was trembling.


    Shen Xiao understood that this wasn''t the time for her to approach him. She quietly made her way to the kitchen, when she suddenly heard Old Man Mu''s dignified voice coming from the living room.


    "Little Shen, why didn''t you greet Miss Bai when you saw her? Is this how you treat your savior?"


    Shen Xiaoxiao didn''t understand why Old Man Mu would suddenly attack her, but when she saw the mocking smile on Bai Qi''s face, she understood everything.


    She already knew from Cloud Zhu that Bai Qi was abnormal. She had always been very meticulous in her thoughts, and had thought of more than Mu Yunzhu, this man. He only saw that Bai Qianzhang had a strange temper, but she had a vague idea that perhaps he already knew of their relationship, otherwise there wouldn''t have been such a sudden change.


    After quickly thinking about the current situation in her mind, Shen Xiao lowered her head and put on a humble appearance. She quickly walked up and stood respectfully beside the sofa. She bent down slightly and gave Bai Qi a respectful bow.


    "I''m sorry Miss Bai, the greetings I greeted you from outside the door were too soft and I made you misunderstand. I am truly sorry."


    Bai Qi raised his eyebrows. This Shen Xiao wasn''t someone who was easy to deal with. The old man had only scolded her a little, and yet she had actually given him eye medicine. Luckily, she had already made preparations.


    Yesterday, Yun Zhu came to find you and scolded me for a good reason. I came here today to apologize and ask you, Xiao Xiaoxiao, to be magnanimous and not to be offended, I only just returned to my country and did not know that you and Yun Zhu are such good friends. Before this, I only considered that you two were alone together under the same roof, and that it would be easy to cause trouble, but I did not consider that without your care, it would be very inconvenient for Yun Zhu''s life and work.


    Mu Yunzhu''s life and work had been greatly affected. She was just about to be heated up, and was about to open her mouth and say a few words to distinguish the difference between the two of them. However, when she raised her head to look at the Mu family''s old patriarch''s deep eyes, she suddenly felt a chill behind her back and didn''t dare to say a single word.


    Shen Xiaoxiao had heard too much from Mu Yunzhu about the importance that Old Man Mu placed on Bai Qi. She knew that the Mu family wasn''t the only one who felt sorry for Bai Qi due to their relationship of repaying him for his kindness. They were hoping that the Bai family would be able to form a connection with them, and with the support of the Bai family, the Mu family would be able to develop even faster and stronger.


    Because of this, she was willing to be the woman behind Mu Yunjiu. She believed that with her determination, as long as she firmly held onto Mu Yunzhu''s heart, there would be a day when she would be able to wait for the day when he would take over her family. When the old man was no longer around, Bai Qi would be able to stand by Mu Yunjiu''s side and become the rightful Mrs. Mu.


    Faced with the old man''s cold gaze, Shen Xiao adjusted her attitude and stammered out a reply. "Miss Bai, perhaps it''s just a misunderstanding. I''m just doing my duty to be a competent servant. Perhaps Mister Mu is just not used to suddenly changing employees."


    "Misunderstanding!? "Is that so?" Bai Qi ruffled the hair around his ears and gave her a meaningful smile. Then, without another word, he picked up the cup of green tea from the tea table and slowly began to drink.


    Old Man Mu turned his head to look at the expression on Bai Qi''s face. He could clearly see the cold expression on the corners of her eyes. He lowered his eyes slightly and carefully considered what Bai Qi''s words meant.


    He kept having the feeling that Seventh Madame had changed a lot this time. After carefully recalling the obscure words she had said back to him, the old man suddenly felt like he understood something.


    Seventh Miss had always had her own son in her heart. Was it because she was sensitive to the fact that there was something wrong between Yun Zhu and Shen Xiao? Because she cared, after knowing that there was love in Yun Zhu''s heart, she wanted to return home to redeem it?


    The reason why he didn''t say anything in front of him, but only avoided Yun Zhu, repeatedly hinting in front of him, the goal should be for him to take care of this Shen Xiao, lest in the end she and Yun Zhu break off their engagement.


    Thinking that he had understood the truth, Old Man Mu coughed heavily. After attracting Bai Qi''s attention, he gently smiled and said, "Seventh Sister, your heart has shrunk quite a bit from your trip to the country. Don''t you know who is in Yun Zhu''s heart? The reason you went to the Bai Clan yesterday and did such a disrespectful thing was because you were in a hurry to see me, but you couldn''t find a better excuse. "


    The kind smile on his face instantly turned cold, "As for Little Shen, like she said, Yun Zhu is just used to her service and isn''t used to it at the moment. Think about it, it''s like being used to using a set of tableware."


    However, she did not dare to show any dissatisfaction on her face. Instead, she raised her head and revealed a pitiful expression. Just as she was about to open her mouth to try and win some good impression for herself, she was snatched away by Bai Qi with a sneer.


    "Pfft!" Uncle Mu, look at what you''re saying. Am I that petty? I just feel sorry for him. He even complained to me yesterday that it was very tiring to manage Mrs Bai and Mrs Mu at the same time, and I heard that he did not sleep well last night, so I felt sour and guilty and blamed myself for being too selfish. I was supposed to shoulder the burden that should have been mine, but now it''s all on Mr Yun Zhu''s shoulders. "


    Bai Qi had made the right compromise to make Old Man Mu feel that she was sensible and at the same time, tilted the scale in his heart towards Mu Ru Yue.


    However, even though Old Man Mu was listening, he would never agree to let Shen Xiao return to Mu Yunzhu''s side. Bai Qiqi was his intended daughter-in-law. He wouldn''t allow a mere maid to destroy the marriage that he had single-handedly facilitated.


    Knowing that the relationship between Shen Xiao and his son wasn''t ordinary, he didn''t have enough time to separate them. How could he give them the opportunity to do so?


    Seventh Miss is indeed sensible, you can believe in Yun Zhu. Uncle Mu is very happy, but little Shen is young and has very little experience. Right now, Yun Zhu is fully committed to his career, and by his side, he should be accompanied by someone like the butler who has a very rich life experience. Old Man Mu turned his head to look at the respectful Shen Xiao, who was standing not too far away from him. In his eyes, there was a stern expression and a stern warning.


    "Yes, what Uncle Mu said is that I have been overthinking the matter of letting Xiaoxiao move back. Previously, I was only thinking about not making Yun Zhu unhappy, but I didn''t consider the big picture." After pausing for a moment, Bai Qi then said, seemingly troubled, "Uncle Mu, it''s really hard for Yun Zhu to manage two companies by himself. I want to help him share some of the burden ¡­" "So, I want to go to the Bai family to work ¡­"


    The Mu family''s old patriarch was surprised that Bai Qi had taken the initiative to go to work for the Bai clan. Earlier, Qi Niu had wholeheartedly wanted to be a good internal helper, so she wasn''t involved with the Bai clan''s work at all.


    However, when he looked at Shen Xiao beside Bai Qi, Old Man Mu felt that he was right. Seventh Sister had grown up with a good home tutor, so she would never be jealous of her status. However, who would be so magnanimous in allowing their lover to interact with other women?


    The reason Seventh Girl made such a request was to share the pressure on Yun Zhu. In reality, she wanted to use this opportunity to cultivate her feelings and also declare her sovereignty over Yun Zhu and the little girl beside her.


    Bai Qi had been paying attention to the expression on Old Man Mu''s face the entire time. What she said and did today was all for the sake of receiving Old Man Mu''s reply. When he saw Old Man Mu''s relaxed expression, he couldn''t help but heave a sigh of relief.


    Right now, she was weak alone. On the contrary, Mu Yunjiu was strong. If she did not have the support of Old Man Mu and had entered the Bai family alone, it would have been lucky if she did not even have the bones left to gnaw on the Bai family.


    Bai Qi''s wish was that the Bai clan would flourish in her hands and that Shen Xiaoxiao and Mu Yunzhu would receive the retribution they deserved. Returning to the Bai clan was the first step in everything.


    Sure enough, Old Man Mu readily agreed to Bai Qi''s request. He immediately picked up the phone and assigned his personal assistant to help Bai Qi familiarize himself with the work environment. Bai Qi, on the other hand, had returned as the chairman of the Bai Clan.


    Currently, Bai Qi and Mu Yunzhu had yet to get married, so the 30% of the shares that Bai Jiasheng had promised was naturally still in Bai Qianzhang''s hands. Although Mu Yunzhu had great power, he was still missing a position.


    Old Man Mu also knew that Bai Qiqi did not have any business experience. If he were to return to the Bai family with such an identity, he would suffer criticism from many aspects and would find it difficult to convince the public. Even if she didn''t go back, she was still the legitimate Chairman of the Bai Clan. It was just that before, she only received dividends and didn''t care about the company''s operations. Now, she had to intervene in the company''s affairs.


    Bai Qi was naturally very satisfied with this arrangement. As the saying went, an official''s rank could crush a person to death, not to mention that she still possessed so many shares. With Old Man Mu''s support, if he were to take care of Mu Yunzhu, it would not be as easy as turning his hand.

 C8

    Having gotten the result he wanted, Bai Qi did not stay idle for a few days. Instead, he looked for his mother to get to know some of the relationships that Bai Jiasheng had when he was still alive, so that after he worked for the Bai Clan, he could find a few upper echelons that could be on his side.


    At the same time, after Bai Qi had spoken out that he wanted to return to the Bai Clan, Mu Yunzhu had been waiting for him to make his move. At the same time, after Bai Qi had spoken out that he wanted to return to the Bai Clan, Mu Yunzhu had been waiting for Bai Qiong to make his move.


    No man could tolerate his woman being stronger than himself. Even though Bai Qianzhang had concealed all of his brilliance after his death and wholeheartedly wanted to be the wife of the Mu Clan, he still could not fall for her.


    This time, Bai Qiqi''s behavior after returning home was very different from before. Not only had he changed from the usual frivolous and gentle look, but he was now facing him with cold eyes, and had even threatened to make him leave the Bai clan. This caused him to have no choice but to be on his guard; he had long regarded the Bai clan as his own, and his self-esteem allowed him to reject the Bai clan, but did not permit the Bai clan to reject him.


    In the past few days, Bai Qi''s place had been peaceful and calm, as if everything that had happened before had never happened. However, he could not suppress the unease in his heart. He always felt that this was the calm before the storm.


    Therefore, even though he knew that Shen Xiao wanted to return to his side, he could only focus on the company these two days, concentrating on waiting for Bai Qi to make his move.


    She didn''t know whether it was because of what Bai Qianzhang had said that day, but ever since she had left, Old Man Mu had been keeping an eye on her. In the name of old age, he had hoped to have an attendant by his side to accompany him, in order to prevent any opportunity for her to communicate with Mu Yunjiu.


    Mu Yunzhu lived in the upper class, surrounded by so many beautiful and outstanding women. The reason why she was able to seize the initiative was simply because she was close to the brothel, plus she was an orphan and had a good observation skills since she was young. In these few years with the Mu Family, she had thoroughly understood Mu Yunjiu''s preferences, and she had taken every opportunity available to him to please him, which caused him to have a whole new level of respect for her.


    If she and Mu Yunzhu continued to separate like this without any interaction, the hard-earned opportunity would disappear just like that. All her previous efforts had been in vain. She had painstakingly obtained this chance to completely change her fate, so she definitely could not miss this chance.


    She didn''t know what kind of medicine the old man with the surname Mu had taken to make her accompany him wherever he went, or even her cell phone being confiscated. Even if it was a night off, she still had to share a room with the other maids at home. In the past few days, she had not been able to find a chance to contact Mu Yunzhu on her own accord.


    However, the strange thing was that Mu Yun Zhu Ming knew that she was trapped in the Mu family and hadn''t come back to see her for the past two days, and all of this made Shen Xiao extremely worried. She was worried that her hard-earned future prospects would be ruined, and worried that Bai Qi would find an opportunity to deal with her.


    However, she had no power and no power. She could only bitterly wait for the opportunity to make a comeback.


    Over the next few days, Bai Qi spent a large amount of time and effort on familiarizing himself with the company''s affairs, but he didn''t pay much attention to Shen Xiao. Over the next few days, Bai Qi devoted a large amount of time and energy into familiarizing himself with the company''s affairs, but he did spend a large amount of time and energy on familiarizing himself with the company''s affairs.


    It could be said that any child who grew up in an orphanage would have a competitive spirit and a desire for fame and benefits that surpassed others. The only difference was the way they chose to grow up.


    In the past, she had chosen to bury her head and work hard so that she would be outstanding in every aspect, hoping to gain social recognition and not willing to take shortcuts. Shen Xiao had chosen a different path. It couldn''t be denied that her methods were the fastest, but to rely on a man to change her fate was too risky. Furthermore, this path wasn''t easy to walk either.


    But her current task was to make the path for Shen Xiao even more difficult.


    Since the Bai Family and the Mu Family were very close to each other, Bai Qi would drive a few rounds around the Mu Family while grasping a large amount of business information. With the old gramps here, he would take the old gramps to sell his good manners and teach him a little about his experiences in the mall. When the old gramps was resting, she would let Shen Xiao accompany her and give her a little bit of stimulation from time to time.


    "Xiaoxiao, you''ve wasted all the tea leaves. Do you know how expensive they are?" If you don''t know anything, you should ask more. If you don''t know anything, then don''t pretend to know something, ah, humans, I know my own worth. It''s all thanks to me being nostalgic and not holding you accountable, otherwise your one month salary wouldn''t even be enough to pay for this cup of tea. "


    Bai Qi slowly sat in the living room of the Mu Family. He slowly put the teacup in his hand back onto the tea table and turned his head to look at Shen Xiao, who was standing beside him.


    She was clearly aware that Shen Xiao cared the most about her background, but she still chose to use that as an excuse.


    Shen Xiao lowered her head, biting her lower lip. In the end, she couldn''t hold it in any longer and rebutted in a suppressed voice, "Miss Bai, I''ve always made this kind of tea. Yun Zhu likes it very much."


    He purposely didn''t call Mu Yunzhu young master, but simply called her by her first name. Shen Xiao had also been angered to the point that she used this kind of flurry of attacks in an attempt to counterattack.


    It would have been fine if it was the previous Bai Qi. Perhaps he really would have been of some use. However, the current Bai Qi did not even place Mu Yunzhu in his heart. How could she take such a small trick to heart?


    Bai Qi raised his head and looked at Shen Xiao, who had her head lowered, and smirked slightly. "Is what Yun Zhu likes right? Xiao Xiaoxiao, you have to change this. A good servant has to learn how to adjust his or her work style according to his or her master''s different hobbies at any time, and not let his or her master get used to it.


    These words from the servant clearly provoked Shen Xiao quite a bit. She suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with a vicious light that she didn''t have the time to wipe away.


    "Miss Bai, I only worked here and I didn''t sell myself to you. You aren''t my master."


    "Oh ~ ~ ~ ~ So it''s like that!" "So the employer isn''t the master. Okay, if Xiaoxiao cares so much about this title, then I won''t have to use it in the future. I''m just advising you, if you can''t even stand this bit of grievance, then why don''t you take the opportunity to not do it? After you go home, you can do whatever you want, don''t you?"


    First round!


    Bai Qi clearly knew that Shen Xiaoxiao had signed a long term working agreement with the Mu family back then, but now he was purposely provoking her with these words.


    If Shen Xiaoxiao wanted to withdraw her contract ahead of time, she would need to compensate Shen Xiao with a large penalty. With the Old Master''s current wariness towards Shen Xiao, he definitely wouldn''t allow her to leave under his watch.


    Of course, this little bit of money was nothing in Mu Yunzhu''s eyes, but the problem was that Shen Xiao didn''t. As long as she asked Mu Yunzhu for it, their relationship would deteriorate. It should be known that Shen Xiao had always maintained a pitiful image in front of Mu Yunzhu.


    Mu Yunzhu was a very arrogant person. If he wanted, he could just give away several tens of millions of dollars worth of jewelry, but if someone asked for money, he would give it to them openly.


    Of course, if Shen Xiaoxiao was able to swallow her anger and endure not breaking the contract, it wouldn''t be much of a loss to her. It would also be quite fun for her to tease her from time to time.


    Shen Xiaoxiao and Mu Yunzhu wanted to break the window with her, but she wouldn''t give them the chance. Who didn''t know how to feign ignorance? Perhaps the old gramps would even stand on her side because of this.


    After the little provocation from Shen Xiao, Bai Qi got up and prepared to go home. She gracefully smoothed her hair, and turned to smile at Shen Xiao, completely ignoring her red face.


    Bai Qi sat in the car, resting his chin on the steering wheel as he stared in the direction of the Mu residence in a daze.


    The Shen Xiao she''s interacting with right now really isn''t a very capable person. Otherwise, she wouldn''t have been played around with so many times by me. But such a person could actually cause Bai Qi to die so miserably. What could she possibly say?" Bai Qi wasn''t a stupid person, but he had suffered a crushing defeat in the war with Shen Xiao. Love really was a poison that couldn''t be touched, especially with women.


    The next day, Bai Qi cleaned himself up and went to the Bai residence with the envoy assigned to him by the old tutor. He didn''t notify Mu Yunzhu in advance, catching him off guard.


    Mu Yunzhu''s face turned green as he looked at Bai Qi sitting on the sofa in his office. It would be disgraceful of him not to lay a hand on a woman. He turned his head and glared at Lin Te who stood respectfully beside Bai Qi.


    "Lin Te''s secret martial arts is really impressive. When we were in the meeting yesterday, I even asked you about the center of gravity of your future work, but I never heard that your center of gravity was Bai Qi!"


    He was born in poverty, and the only reason he had been able to obtain a degree in economic, business, and management from a famous foreign university was because of the assistance fund set up by Old Man Mu. Thus, after graduation, he had directly become Old Man Mu''s assistant, and with his loyalty, he had obtained a chance to succeed. It could be said that as of now, no one could match his loyalty to Old Man Mu, so Old Man Mu could be trusted to hand over some important matters to him.


    "Manager Mu has misunderstood. I already reported the contents of my work to you yesterday. Chairman Bai, as my superior, will not change the contents of my work. Please rest assured."


    Lin Te''s face was paralyzed with anger and coldness. He didn''t fawn over the heir of the Mu Clan at all.

 C9

    Mu Yunzhu''s eyes were wide open and filled with rage. However, his target was the robotic Lin Te. He could only blindly light the lamp, which was a waste of time.


    After training in the shopping mall for many years, Mu Yunzhu quickly adjusted his mood and ordered Lin Te to help him with a cold tone.


    But after Lin Te had received Mu Yunzhu''s order, he did not immediately go out. Instead, he turned to look at Bai Qi who had remained silent from the moment he entered the door. Only when Bai Qi nodded to him did he open the door and leave.


    Seeing Lin Te ignore his orders and obey Bai Qi''s orders, Mu Yunzhu felt his heart tighten. Just as he was about to get angry, Lin Te had already left. In the end, he could only swallow his anger, making his chest ache.


    "Bai Qi, what are you doing here?"


    "Didn''t Lin Te say very clearly that I came to work just now? On the contrary, I have a question. If I remember correctly, this is the chairman''s office, not the CEO''s office. Why are you here, Mr Mu?"


    Previously, when Bai Qi left the country to study, he had handed over the Bai clan. He had never thought that there would be a day when someone would press down on his head, and since the chairman''s office was the most beautifully decorated office in the entire building, it was naturally his first choice. Everyone in the Bai clan knew about this, but they had all agreed to agree to it, so after all these years, he had never realized that he was in a position that did not belong to him.


    Bai Qi stood up and smoothed the indistinct creases on his skirt that were caused by sitting down. Stepping on his high heels, he walked step by step to the back of the office desk. Extending his right thumb and forefinger, as if he felt that it was dirty, he picked up the suit jacket from the back of the chair and gently tossed it away before tossing it onto the thick carpet. He then sat down in the most comfortable position and smiled brightly at Mu Yun.


    "You! "Bai Qi, don''t go too far!" Mu Yunzhu really wanted to step forward and slap this arrogant woman. At this moment, he could no longer recall Bai Qi being gentle and considerate like before, elegant and generous. All that was imprinted in his mind was her eyes filled with contempt and her mocking smile.


    "Aiyo, I''m angry!" "I''m sorry, I didn''t do it on purpose, but I''m a clean freak and I don''t want to throw your clothes away, but I can''t help it, who told me that I don''t like to sit by someone else''s clothes. Honestly speaking, I still feel uncomfortable sitting here and always feel a little dirty.


    Bai Qi''s expression was sexy and enchanting, displaying beautiful eyes that Mu Yunzhu had never seen before. However, the words that came out of her small and rosy mouth had completely strangled the beauty in Mu Yunzhu''s heart. Especially the words that she had purposely said to emphasize, ''I and myself'', these words that announced my ownership rights, were exceptionally harsh to Mu Yunjiu''s ears.


    "Bai Qi, what are you doing? You don''t even have any management experience, forget about coming back to the Bai Clan, and actually becoming the chairman of the Bai Clan. Don''t you think that you have the capability to wear such a big hat, and you dare to kill yourself instead of resisting it? It''s fine if you lose face yourself, but don''t drag the Bai Clan down with you. I''ve spent a lot of energy and effort on the Bai Clan anyway, don''t forget that I also have a share of the Bai Clan. "


    "Oh ~ ~ Bai Clan, do you have a share?" "Mister Mu, may I ask what your share is?" Seeing Mu Yunzhu fuming so much that smoke was about to come out from his head, Bai Qi continued to question him without fear of death.


    "A 30% share. Don''t forget, this is what Uncle Bai promised me when he was still alive."


    "Hahahahaha, this is so funny. Mister Mu, you really have the talent to tell jokes." Bai Qi laughed heartily as he slumped back into his chair. His unbridled appearance made people''s teeth itch with hate. However, there was nothing he could do to her.


    Mu Yunzhu looked at Bai Qi without saying a word. His face was so dark that it looked as if it might drip out at any moment.


    After a long while, Bai Qi sat up straight and used his hand to wipe the tears that had welled up at the corners of his eyes.


    "Mister Mu, have you really forgotten or pretended to? There are conditions to getting 30% of the shares in your hands. Are you qualified to do so now?"


    Hearing this, Mu Yunzhu''s eyes darkened. He remembered that 30% of the shares had a prerequisite. That was, he had to marry this damnable woman in front of him in order to be able to get his hands on her.


    In the past few years, everyone had seen Bai Qi''s infatuation towards him, and they all unanimously agreed that he was the true master of the Bai Clan. Therefore, three years ago, this 30% dividend that should have belonged to Bai Qi had already been automatically entered into his account, and the Bai Clan and Bai Qi did not object to this.


    A 30% bonus, the three years added together was not a small amount of money. Although he would be able to pay it back if he really wanted, but now that he had invested all of this money into a project of the Mu Family, if he were to ask the old gramps for it, it would obviously bring about unnecessary trouble. If he were to ask the old gramps for it, if he knew the purpose of this money, it would be a big deal if he did not cut it, so how would he be willing to take out the money.


    After thinking for a while, Mu Yunjiu finally didn''t say anything. He bent down to pick up the coat on the floor and fiercely shook it, as if he wanted to vent all his anger on these innocent clothes. After that, he hatefully said, "You better behave yourself", turned around and walked out of the chairman''s office.


    Bai Qi pursed his lips and did not take Mu Yunzhu''s words to heart. Only the defeated would dare to say such harsh words before they left.


    During this period of time, he did not return to the Mu residence nor did he return to the Bai house. On the second day after Mu Yunzhu left, Shen Xiao however, offered to resign and straightforwardly compensate Old Man Mu for the breach of contract. This was not the old era, as long as he paid the breach of contract fee, Old Man Mu would not be able to do anything to her.


    As men, they were used to eating big fish and big meat, so the small white porridge dish would naturally be attractive. However, as for how long it would last, everyone was well aware that it would be difficult for them to get involved with the others. It would be better to let nature take its course and wait for their feelings to dissipate. He was someone with experience in matters between men and women. The reason why he had interfered before was only to give the Bai Clan an explanation.


    Bai Qi took advantage of this period of time to familiarize himself with the overall business of the company with the help of Lin Te. For her position, there were very few official matters that she needed to discuss with the company. Her main task was to formulate a future direction for the Bai clan and to carry out some strategic arrangements.


    The senior executives of the company, who were initially worried about this little girl, were secretly surprised by Bai Qi''s ability after a period of observation. Mu Yunzhu had suddenly left the Bai Family without any explanation, yet she was still able to control the situation. In this past week, the company was not in chaos.


    Bai Qi put down the document in his hand and pinched the center of his brows. Thinking back to what had happened in the past week, he couldn''t help but find it a little funny.


    If Mu Yunzhu knew that all of his hard work in the Bai Clan had been for her, he would probably vomit blood out of anger.


    She understood very well the reason why he left, was simply because he wanted to use this sneak attack. He wanted to catch her off guard, and it would be best if he came back when she was in a rush, begging him to clean up the Bai clan''s mess. This way, he would have a very advantageous position in the game.


    On the contrary, she could take advantage of the fact that he was not around and empty out his influence, taking all the power she could get into her possession. At that time, if he wanted to come back, it would not be a simple matter.


    As for the matter between him and Shen Xiao, they could do whatever they liked. After all, there was nothing to be gained from tormenting them. She didn''t believe that Mu Yunzhu would dare disobey Old Man Mu''s orders and forcefully marry a nobody like Shen Xiao.


    However, if he dared to do so, she would have a way to convince the old man to teach him a lesson. Although she could not expel him from her family, it would still be easy for the old man to temporarily strip Mu Yunzhu of his economic capabilities. If she were to do something behind his back, after a little bit of time, Shen Xiao might not be able to hold on for long.


    If all these calculations were to be in vain, she would have at least bought herself enough time to further her own advancement. Once she completely grasped the Bai clan, naturally, she would have many methods to seek justice for Bai Qi.


    Unexpectedly, Mu Yunzhu, who originally thought that he would be gone for a long time, took the initiative to visit him a week later. This time, Shen Xiao also came to visit him.


    Mu Yunzhu looked at Bai Qianzhi who was dressed like an OL and a hint of awe flashed in his eyes. He had never seen this type of dressing from Bai Qianzhi before. The simple and experienced image of her contrasted strongly with her originally delicate and beautiful appearance.


    Seeing the expression on Mu Yunzhu''s face, Shen Xiao secretly reached out and gripped his hand tightly. When he looked down at her, she first looked at him lovingly, then lowered her head and pitifully stroked her belly with her free hand.

 C10

    Xiao Shen and Mu Yunzhu''s gazes intersected and their little actions were all seen by Bai Qi. With such an expression, all of them expressed the same meaning: there''s something in her stomach.


    She remembered that at this time, Shen Xiao hadn''t been pregnant at all. At least, she hadn''t been pregnant until she and Mu Yunzhu were married, and in this story, their wedding was a year later. Could it be that her arrival had affected the plot?


    It was impossible! She had only been in this world for half a month or so, and even if her arrival had an impact, it should be after she arrived, and the first thing she did after arriving in this world was to let Old Man Mu bring Shen Xiao back to the Mu family. Shen Xiao''s return to Mu Yunzhu''s side was a whole week''s time, so it was impossible for her to be pregnant so quickly during this week.


    Then, there was only one explanation, and that was Shen Xiao''s realization that she would once again lose everything she had painstakingly planned for.


    Sure enough, Mu Yunzhu''s words very quickly verified Bai Qianzhi''s guess.


    "Bai Qi, I want to cancel the engagement with you. Xiaoxiao is the woman I love. I want to marry her."


    Bai Qi shook his head in his heart. Is Mu Yunzhu alright? Why did she come so loudly to announce the end of the engagement? Did he think that she was still the same Bai Qianzhi who had always been subservient to him? Would it be so easy for him to get what he wanted?


    "Sure," Bai Qi replied readily. After receiving Mu Yunzhu and Shen Xiao''s doubtful gazes, he continued, "As long as Mister Mu can repay the white family''s bonus that I previously received, I''m naturally willing to become a beautiful adult. In addition, I''ll have to trouble Mister Mu to explain it to me. I''m not responsible for settling the family dispute with the Mu Family."


    Mu Yunzhu, who was originally surprised that Bai Qi would suddenly become so talkative, involuntarily increased the strength of her grip on Shen Xiao''s hand after hearing the latter half of her sentence. This was because she was infuriated, and only when Shen Xiaoxiao cried out in pain did he suddenly release her hand and take two large steps forward, condescendingly looking down at Bai Qi, in an attempt to oppress her with his own aura.


    However, before he could say anything, Bai Qi once again took the lead.


    "What is it? Mr Mu is not willing? Previously, I considered you to be my future husband, so I didn''t pay any attention to you taking the dividends. But now that you have to marry another beauty, I naturally can''t easily let go of the Bai clan''s benefits. Mister Mu is also a businessman, so I believe you won''t do anything to harm your own people, right? "


    Mu Yunzhu hadn''t even opened his mouth to answer when Shen Xiao, who was beside him, said angrily, "Yunzhu has worked so hard for the Bai Family for so many years, how can you destroy the bridge after crossing the river without doing anything?"


    "Pfft!" Bai Qi sneered and ignored Shen Xiao, directly looking at Mu Yunzhu.


    "Mister Mu''s girlfriend is really naive! Does she really think that Mister Mu worked for nothing after staying in the Bai Clan for so many years? " After teasing Mu Yunzhu for a bit, Bai Qi saw that his expression had become increasingly ugly, and turned to look at Shen Xiao.


    Xiaoxiao, Mr. Mu has been CEO for so many years. Do you know what CEO is?" "That''s a professional manager who was hired by his employer to manage the company. Just like Xiaoxiao, your previous identity was the same, and you were hired, so you should do your best to get people''s money. Mr Mu, over these years, the Bai Family has paid you quite a bit, right?


    After being humiliated repeatedly by Bai Qi, Mu Yunzhu was still unable to find a way to retaliate. He did not expect that in just a few years'' time, Bai Qi would actually have such a huge change. He did not pay attention to Bai Qi who had always placed him first.


    This woman was the type that he liked, moreover, Xiaoxiao was already pregnant. Although he wasn''t prepared to be a father, since the child had come, he didn''t plan to reject her. With three generations of descendants of the Mu Family and a child, he would have the bargaining chip with the old man.


    With this child, even if Bai Qi were to offer to take back the bonus from before, he would surely agree to go back and discuss things with the lordmaster.


    Therefore, Mu Yunzhu readily agreed to Bai Qianzhang''s conditions. "Alright, as long as you give up and let me go, I''ll naturally return the entire dividend. I''ll let you settle the accounts. Wait for my notification."


    Having said so, Mu Yunzhu pulled the relieved Shen Xiao along as she turned around and walked out of the office.


    "Wait!"


    As Bai Qi''s voice rang out, Mu Yunzhu and Shen Xiao were simultaneously stunned. Mu Yunzhu, who thought that Bai Qianzhang was going to go back on his words, frowned. He turned his head to look at Bai Qi with eyes filled with dissatisfaction, as well as a glimmer in his eyes that even he did not notice.


    "What else do you want to say? I won''t give you the chance to go back on your word. "


    "Mister Mu, you''re thinking too much. I just want to know the date when you return the dividend. You can''t possibly make me wait ten to twenty years, right?"


    Mu Yunzhu looked at Bai Qi''s joyous expression and his bright eyes seemed to ridicule at his self-wishful thinking. He couldn''t help but be a little flustered and exasperated as he pulled Shen Xiao along. "I''ll give you an answer within a week."


    First of all, when he returned to the Mu family, he informed the old man that he was preparing to break the engagement with Bai Qi and that he was about to become a father. The old man was not pleased that the Mu family had a son.


    "Dad, do you know what you''re saying? This child is your grandson, and he''s my son. How can you just say that you don''t want him?! " Mu Yunzhu could not understand how his father, who had kept saying that he should get married and give birth earlier, could actually say such cold-blooded words.


    The old man was greatly angered by Mu Yunzhu''s shocked appearance. With trembling hands, he grabbed a walking stick and threw it at the unfilial son.


    Do you even have the face to say that I''m cold-blooded? Do you even have the brains to say that the marriage contract between the Mu and Bai Families has a long history? You''re giving up on such a good girl like seventy to seventy percent because of a woman who can''t even stand up for you.


    "Dad, this is my son, how could he be of unknown origin? Moreover, Bai Qi and I are only unmarried couples, and both of us have the right to choose our own lovers. It can''t be said that I''ve let her down, and she has agreed to cancel the engagement with me." Although he knew that he was not in the right, Mu Yunzhu still braced himself and tried to help him.


    "Uncle, Yun Zhu and I love each other from the bottom of our hearts. Please grant our wish!" Shen Xiao saw Old Man Mu disregarding her existence, so she resolutely rejected him. In the end, she couldn''t help but carefully ask for her help.


    Shen Xiao, back then Seventh Little Girl saved you and even moved you to the Mu Family, and this is how you repay her kindness in saving your life. You really do have the grace to repay this kindness, don''t worry, don''t worry, you''re pregnant, even if I die, you''ll never be able to enter the Mu Family''s mansion.


    With these words, Old Man Mu trembled as he stood up. He was prepared to return to his room to calm down. If he continued to stay here, he was afraid that this unfilial son of his would anger him to death.


    "Dad!" "I won''t give up on Xiaoxiao. Even if you don''t agree, I still want to be with him." At first, he didn''t really care about Shen Xiao, but after the old man''s objection, the rebellious nature of his youth burst forth. The more he was opposed, the more he had to persevere.


    "Good!" "If you really have that much backbone, you can leave the Mu family. I want to see how long your backbone will last, and I''ll tell you this, if you don''t leave Shen Xiao, this son of yours, I won''t want it anymore. In the future, I will hand over all the assets of the Mu family to Seventh Miss as compensation for letting her down after so many years."


    In his entire life, aside from begging others when his career had failed, he had never been forced to do so by anyone in his entire life. This time, it was actually his own son who had fought against him for an unknown woman, how could he not be angry.


    At first, he had always thought that his son was mature enough and wise enough, but now, it seemed that he had just been protected too well, and had not endured any hardships under his wing, which was why he seemed mature and steady. But all of this was just an illusion, which was why he was so stupid as a pig this time.


    Mu Yunzhu did not expect the old man to be so resolute and even said the words to expel him from his family. He immediately felt guilty and did not know how to react; he had never thought that he would really give up his position as the successor of the Mu Family for a woman.


    At the same time, Shen Xiao, who had been standing at the side all this time, also started to panic. She had spent so much effort just to make herself turn the situation around, not to carry her so-called true love back to her impoverished life.


    "Uncle, please don''t blame Yun Zhu. If you really don''t like me, I''m willing to leave Yun Zhu. But please don''t chase Yun Zhu away, he''s your only son!" Rather than being poverty-stricken as a legal wife, she would rather become a rich mistress. Today, she would retreat in order to advance. As long as she firmly held onto Mu Yunzhu''s heart, she would have a chance to make a comeback in the future.


    Mu Yunzhu''s mind heated up when he heard that Shen Xiaoxiao was bent over thinking about him. He pulled Shen Xiaoxiao along and said, "If I leave, then I leave. If I, Mu Yunzhu, leave the Mu Family, then I can still live a good life. Sooner or later, I will make you look at me with a whole new level of respect!"

 C11

    Shen Xiao had a complicated expression on her face as she followed behind Mu Yunzhu, looking back at the staircase step by step, hoping that the old man would change his mind. But at this moment, there was no one left at the staircase.


    Mu Yunzhu had once told her that it would be difficult for a son of the Mu family. The old gramps only hoped that he could get married soon, so she took the risk of using the method of a fake pregnancy, but she had never expected that the old gramps would not want this grandson.


    Then how was she going to continue acting in the future? If Mu Yunzhu knew that the child he had paid such a heavy price to protect did not exist, would he just give up on himself?


    The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Mu Yunzhu, who had been pulling her along, immediately noticed her strangeness and held her in her arms. Even though she was angry, she patiently comforted her with a few words.


    However, Shen Xiao didn''t have Mu Yunzhu''s confidence. She had been by his side for so many years, and she was very familiar with his temperament, but the reason why he could shake the shopping mall was not because of how powerful he was, but because everyone feared the power of the Bai clan and the Mu clan behind him. Now that he had lost everything he relied on, with his arrogant character, would he really be able to break into his own career? In truth, Mu Yunzhu had never truly experienced the cruelty of this society.


    However, when Shen Xiao thought about it, the Mu Family only had Mu Yun Zhu as their successor. Old Man Mu definitely wouldn''t abandon his only son and hand over his entire career to someone else who wasn''t related to him.


    As long as she held on, once she found a chance to be pregnant with Mu Yunzhu''s child, she would have the chance to wait until she returned to the Mu family.


    When he went to the restaurant in the past, he no longer had the privilege of washing his face and eating directly. At the beginning, he could still use the money he had on hand to maintain his dignity, but he was used to spending all of that money. This amount of cash could not be maintained for long.


    He did have a few houses under his name, but if he were to sell his house due to the temporary lack of working capital, then where would his young master of the Mu family put his face?


    He couldn''t go back to the Mu Family during this period of time, let alone the Bai Family. They had no work to do, so they wanted to go out and have fun. However, looking at the small amount of cash they had, he could only control his own feet and stay at home.


    All sorts of unhappiness made Mu Yunjiu restless. How could he still remember that? Earlier, he had boasted that he would return the huge dividend to Bai Qi within a week, but fortunately, Bai Qi did not expect that he would actually return the dividend within a week. With both sides intentionally or unintentionally forgetting about this matter, the bonus matter was not brought up again for the time being.


    Ever since she lost her job at the Mu family, Shen Xiao had always stayed at Mu Yunzhu''s apartment. In the past when he went to work, she would go shopping, take care of her skin, and maintain herself in her best condition while waiting for him to return home. But now, with nowhere else to go but staying at home, she naturally couldn''t go out alone and could only stay at home.


    Not only that, three meals a day, washing clothes and cooking, what she did not do in the past, all had to be done personally. In less than half a month''s time, Shen Xiao already felt unspeakably miserable, it''s not like she had never done these things before, but ever since she and Mu Yunzhu had an ambiguous relationship, her fingers no longer touched the Yang Spring Water, as the saying goes, it''s easy to be frugal, but now it''s not easy to let her return to the days of being close to everything.


    "Yun Zhu, how can father and son have enmity with each other? Why don''t you go home and explain it to your uncle? It''s better to apologize and let the old man calm down than staying at home all this time." Shen Xiao couldn''t bear the current situation any longer, so she took the opportunity to persuade Mu Yunjiu when he was in a good mood.


    Mu Yunzhu had originally regretted his impulsive actions. It was not that he had never thought of going home to admit his mistakes. But now that he had been persuaded by Shen Xiao, his stubborn temper rose again.


    The expression on his face, which he had struggled to ease up after so long, instantly became cold again.


    "If you want to go, go. I won''t lower my head to that old man. It would be a joke in vain."


    "But, Yun Zhu, it''s not the same thing for us to do like this. Staying at home all day with nothing to do, isn''t that just making people laugh?"


    Mu Yunzhu obviously knew that his current situation wasn''t right. However, his initial ambition had disappeared without a trace when he saw that his bank account had less than 10 million yuan in funds. What could this small amount of money do?


    Back at the Mu Family, the money he had spent was less than 5 million. But now ¡­


    "What do you know about me? Don''t you want to invest in something that you don''t want to inspect? I know my own limits. If you don''t know, then don''t bother. "


    After Mu Yunzhu finished speaking, he slammed the door and walked into the study, leaving Shen Xiao in the living room, sulking as she stared at the door.


    "I don''t understand? "Don''t think that I don''t know what you''re doing in the study room. You''re still not playing games, it''s as if you really have something important to do!"


    Shen Xiao muttered a few sentences, but didn''t dare to knock on the door. She was still looking forward to Mu Yunzhu''s life, so naturally she couldn''t say words that would embarrass him.


    While Mu Yunzhu and Shen Xiao were doing nothing, Bai Qi took advantage of this opportunity to expand his influence in the Bai Clan. After several big projects had been discussed, who didn''t give a big thumbs up to praise that Bai Qi was indeed the successor of the Bai Clan, and was also an aristocratic clan.


    Nowadays, there was no lack of rumors in the upper class society. Mu Yunzhu wanted beauties but he actually fell in love with his family''s little maid when he had an engagement with Bai Qi. Now, for the sake of a beauty, not only did he have to cancel his engagement with Bai Qi, he even had to give up on the Mu Family.


    Although these words sounded like beautiful talk, only Bai Qi himself knew what everyone was thinking in his heart. However, as far as he knew, the upper class society did not appreciate such actions, and the more people lived in the upper echelons of society, the more tests they faced, and the more responsibilities they would have to shoulder. If every heir of a clan loved beauties and did not love mountains and rivers, then the foundation that their ancestors had painstakingly built would be destroyed.


    During this period of time, it wasn''t only Mu Yunzhu who didn''t dare to socialize with him. Old Man Mu was similarly ashamed to attend banquets and teach such a good son of his. His face also lost a lot of color.


    Old Man Mu originally thought that the Bai Clan would come to denounce them for their crimes, but after waiting for a long time, no one came. He couldn''t help but feel his heart thumping in his chest.


    After waiting for nearly half a month, Old Man Mu was finally unable to hold back any longer and called Bai Qi. He wanted to find out about her intentions and figure out what the Bai Clan''s attitude towards this matter was.


    Upon receiving the old man''s call, Bai Qi was holding the report on Mu Yunzhu that he had asked the Confession Society to investigate during this period of time. Upon seeing the contents of the report, the corners of Bai Qiqi''s mouth curved into a smile.


    However, back then, Bai Qi had not been able to make full use of his advantages. He had tormented himself so miserably for the sake of his so-called love, and the one she loved was such a man that wasn''t worth loving at all.


    Thinking back, perhaps Bai Qi really did not love Mu Yunzhu. She just wanted to capture someone who could accompany her until the end of her life, someone who had lost her father in the early years. This caused her to feel too insecure.


    "Uncle Mu, I''ll come over after work. Take good care of your body and wait for me to come over to talk about anything. Don''t worry. I won''t blame you for the matter with Yun Zhu."


    Pitiful Father and Mother, Old Man Mu''s true intentions of marrying the Bai Family was definitely not purely for the sake of the Bai Family. Although there was a promise for his old friend and a repayment for his kindness from the past, but most of them probably wanted the Bai Family to be Mu Yunshu''s future pillar and pave the way for Mu Yunshu, their son''s heart definitely held a large proportion. But unfortunately, Mu Yunzhu did not understand the old man''s painstaking efforts.


    Just as he hung up the phone call from Old Man Mu, Bai Qiqi received another call from his mother. She looked at the caller ID and couldn''t help smiling bitterly. Were these two already arranged?


    "Seventh Brother, I heard that the woman outside Mu Yunzhu is pregnant!?" Just as he picked up the phone, the lady''s angry voice came from the other end of the line.


    "Mom, who did you hear it from?"


    Thinking that Bai Qi still needed to explain things to Mu Yunzhu, her mother couldn''t help but feel anxious. She had been worried that he might actually let go of Mu Yunzhu. As expected, she was still trying to hide it from her.


    "Now, everyone knows. Are you going to hide it from me alone? Seventh Seven, in this situation, no matter how much you love Mu Yunzhu, Mom will not agree with you marrying him. A man like him is not worth it! "


    "Mom ~ ~ Who said I was going to marry him. Don''t worry, your daughter isn''t stupid. Also, the rumors outside can''t be trusted. Shen Xiao isn''t pregnant."


    "Not pregnant!? It doesn''t matter if this is true or not, Mu Yunzhu has a woman outside, but it is still a solid fact. Before things did not happen, I could just turn a blind eye to it, but with the way things are now, how can I be at ease and let you marry him? "


    "Mom ~" Bai Qi pressed his forehead helplessly and switched his phone to his other hand. He explained patiently, "Mom, I don''t think I ever said I must marry Mu Yunzhu. Did you forget? After I returned home, I told you before, I knew that Mu Yunzhan had a woman outside, and I did not plan to continue the engagement with him. It''s just that at that time, when he had great influence in the Bai clan, he took umbrage at the Bai clan, so I did not explain things properly. Now that he has made us lose face, it is truly a bit unreasonable for me not to teach him a lesson.


    The white mother pondered for a while. "7/7, it''s not important if you''re not taught a lesson. Mom''s worried about you feeling bad. As long as you''re not worried."


    Her mother''s love for her daughter had caused Bai Qi to feel a sudden heat in his eyes. In this world, who else could be truly selfless and unrequited in their love for her other than his own parents? It was a pity that the original Bai Qi did not understand this logic. He had entrusted his love to a man who did not love him, and had neglected the warmth of motherly love around him.


    When he thought about how his mother died in such an unreconciled manner in the end, Bai Qi felt a burst of bitterness in his heart. If his mother knew that her daughter died in such a miserable manner in the end, wouldn''t the Undead feel uneasy?

 C12

    After hanging up on his mother, Bai Qi tidied up his mind and went to the Mu residence after work. There was still one more drama that he needed her to do.


    The Mu family''s old patriarch had already ordered the kitchen to prepare a table of dishes that Bai Qi liked to eat. Considering the time he spent waiting at the entrance, Bai Qi felt a little unwilling to be so polite. Old man Mu was already so old, so he hadn''t done anything bad to her.


    However, upon thinking of the disaster that had befallen Bai Qi, he hardened his heart. He only wanted to seek justice for Bai Qi and teach Mu Yunzhu a lesson. He would not do something so outrageous as to do something so outrageous.


    Holding onto Old Man Mu''s hand, he walked to the dining table and sat down. Bai Qi was the first to raise his cup and toast it to Old Man Mu.


    "Uncle Mu, thank you for the hospitality. I, Qi Qi, will first offer you a cup."


    He heaved a heavy sigh and raised his wine cup to drink in one gulp. He completely ignored the fact that Bai Qi wanted to stop him. This was something that the Mu Family owed the Bai Family. A single goblet of wine was nothing.


    "Seventh Sister, our Mu Family has let you down. That stinking Yun Zhu has eyes but didn''t recognize them. Holding the brick as a treasure, there will be a day when he will regret it. This matter has become so serious that it is difficult for you. If you do not wish to continue the engagement, Uncle Mu will not have the face to advise you. "


    I accept your good intentions, Uncle Mu, but there is only Yun Zhu in my heart, and if he really doesn''t want to marry me, then I will respect his decision. However, if there is still a sliver of hope, then he will not give up. In these past few years, I have been abroad, and I have not been able to accompany him properly.


    Bai Qi stood up and squatted beside Old Man Mu. He grabbed both of his hands, revealing his thoughts with tears in his eyes. If Mu Yunzhu were to see his unrepentant appearance, he would definitely be so infuriated that his seven orifices would burst into flames.


    However, Old Man Mu was very satisfied with Bai Qi''s infatuation. He patted her hand with a face of comfort. "Seventh Sister, with your words, Uncle Mu must have changed his mind and left a good wife like you behind. He''s just blind. Don''t worry, Uncle Mu has always been on your side."


    Bai Qi wanted the Old Master to pressure Mu Yunzhu and Shen Xiao to separate them. Shen Xiao deliberately wanted to be Mistress Mu, so what punishment could be better than letting her waste her previous efforts! As for Mu Yunzhu, if he were to expose Shen Xiaoxiao''s fake pregnancy and let him see the cruelty of society, he would definitely be unable to endure the hardships outside and return to the Mu family. At that time, it would be the best time for her to break off the engagement with Mu Yunzhu.


    Currently, she didn''t need to do anything. The matter of suppressing Mu Yunzhu and Shen Xiao naturally needed to be done by the old man. She only needed to add fuel to the fire and at the right time to expose Shen Xiaoxiao''s fake pregnancy.


    Thinking about it, this was her first time on a mission. The company had fully taken into account her inexperience and had not assigned her any difficult tasks.


    On this side, Bai Qi patiently took every step he took, while on the other side, Shen Xiao was getting more and more agitated.


    Mu Yunzhu didn''t know whether it was because she was in a bad mood or because she was pregnant, but even if she slept in the same bed, she wouldn''t touch her. If this went on, how would she get a chance to get pregnant? At that time, even without Old Man Mu or Bai Qi helping her, she would no longer have any place to stand in front of Mu Yunzhu.


    However, she did her best, but she couldn''t let Mu Yunzhu touch her. She was a bit more active, so Mu Yunzhu looked at her with a strange expression, as if she was the kind of woman who couldn''t be satisfied with what she had.


    As the days went by, Shen Xiao felt as though she were being scratched by a cat. She tossed and turned at night, looking out the window at the dark night. Suddenly, an idea popped into her mind. She might as well find someone else to conceive the child first. Of course, this child definitely couldn''t be her weakness. Once her stomach showed itself, she would find a chance to drain the child and blame it on Bai Qi. Wouldn''t that be killing two birds with one stone?


    When Bai Qi received the report that Shen Xiao had secretly gone to the Cowherd''s Shop, he couldn''t help but open his eyes wide in surprise. He didn''t expect that Shen Xiao would be so heartless, but after thinking about it again, it wasn''t strange for someone who could do this to her own son.


    "Don''t alert her, follow her carefully. It would be best if you could take pictures of her at the scene. Remember to be careful and not let her find out." Bai Qi gave a clear explanation of the matter, then hung up the phone, secretly adjusting his direction. Shen Xiao had given him this chance for nothing. It was impossible for her not to take advantage of it. As long as she used it well, she would be able to complete the mission in advance.


    Very quickly, Bai Qi received an u plate containing a video of Shen Xiaoxiao and a young man in bed. From the video, it seemed that the man had not shown his face at all.


    Unexpectedly, Shen Xiao had calculated everything. Her life''s wealth and glory had finally been given to this Cowherd.


    As he pulled out the USB from the computer, Bai Qi lightly tapped the table a few times, listening to the "Knock" sound emitted from the outer layer of plastic material on the wooden table. The corners of his mouth curled up, as this wasn''t the best time to publicize the news, but rather to wait for Shen Xiao to successfully become pregnant and happily take out the pregnancy test report to report to Mu Yunjiu.


    With Shen Xiao''s personality, she wouldn''t need to waste any more time on things like this. Now that she was truly interested in business, in this life she had obtained, regardless of whether or not the things she learned in this world became her own, she was prepared to live the rest of her life in peace. She believed that besides revenge, the original owner would also wish for her to take care of the rest of her life.


    Under the assistance of special assistance, Bai Qiqi worked hard every day to absorb new knowledge. If it was said that she had relied mainly on the original owner''s talent at the start, then now, it was mostly due to her diligent training.


    She hung up the phone and smiled faintly. Shen Xiao''s actions were really quick, she had gotten pregnant within a month, and now she could even say that she was pregnant, after all, she still couldn''t see anything clearly on her body. As long as she spent some money, the hospital would report a small action to push forward the time of her pregnancy, and Shen Xiaoxiao would be able to hide it from the world.


    However, if the month was big, there would still be some slip up, unless ¡­ Unless Shen Xiao didn''t intend to give birth to her child, then find an excuse to dispose of her child before she was discovered.


    The more she thought about it, the more likely it became. With Shen Xiao''s ruthless and merciless way of doing things, it was impossible for her to leave behind such a great hidden danger.


    So, what is Shen Xiao''s best excuse to deal with this child?


    She ¡­ yes, other than Bai Qi, no one else could benefit from the blame.


    It looked like Shen Xiao would be making an appointment soon.


    What if she refused to take the bait? Or should he just play it by ear?


    The latter was obviously more fun.


    Bai Qi opened the drawer of his desk and took out the USB stick that she had casually tossed in a month ago. Now, it was time for this USB stick to appear.


    Over this period of time, Mu Yunzhu had always been holed up in his apartment, lost in the game. At the beginning, he had thought of how he could use the 1 million in funds to accomplish his goal.


    However, the longer he stayed home, the more he couldn''t do anything about it. He felt that the money was too little to do anything about it.


    Later on, he came across an online game that he didn''t usually play, and he went to play it for a few days to relax his mind. He never thought that he would be so out of control, and he bought all kinds of equipment for the 1 million that was left in his account.


    Looking at the diminishing amount of money in the account, and the depressed and dejected him in the mirror, for the first time, Mu Yunzhu started to reflect on himself. In the past, he was too conceited, but under the influence of the Mu and Bai Families, everything he did seemed to be natural, but now, all he had to do was to leave the protection of these two families, and nothing was done.


    Before the old tutor and Bai Qianzhang had even made a move to punish him, he''d already fallen.


    As Mu Yunzhu was immersed in his own thoughts, the doorbell rang.


    "You don''t even know to bring your key when you''re out. You only know to go shopping everyday. I really don''t know what use this kind of woman has." Mu Yunzhu muttered in dissatisfaction as he opened the door.


    Without the obstruction of everyone, it would be impossible to break through all difficulties. The illusion of being obsessed with each other, the hazy sense of beauty that can''t be created without distance, has become more and more unpleasant to Shen Xiao and Mu Yunzhu.


    As soon as he opened the door, however, it wasn''t Shen Xiao who he thought was, but a courier boy who was sweating profusely. Perhaps because he was in a hurry to deliver the next courier, the courier boy hurriedly stuffed the package in his hand into Mu Yunzhu''s hands and didn''t let him sign it.


    Mu Yunzhu closed the door suspiciously as he held the courier. He wondered who it was that delivered the courier to him. He did not have the habit of buying it online.


    However, his name and address were clearly written on the delivery, while the sender''s column was blank.

 C13

    After opening the package, a small USB stick fell out. Other than that, there was nothing else in the package. There was not even a small piece of paper.


    Mu Yunzhu took the USB into his study room and turned on the computer to play the contents of the USB drive. Soon, an empty room appeared on the screen, and after a few minutes, there was no change at all. Just as he was sure this was a prank and was about to pull the USB drive, he heard a familiar voice.


    "Hurry up, I don''t have much time today, only two hours."


    It was Shen Xiao''s voice.


    He withdrew his hand from the USB drive and returned his gaze to the computer screen.


    What he saw next was something he would never forget for the rest of his life. He looked at the pure and bashful woman dancing enchantingly around the bodies of the other men, and said, "Hurry, hurry."


    In his entire life, he had never felt as humiliated as he did now. For this woman, he abandoned his fianc¨¦e, his identity as the young master of the Mu family, and even fell out with the old man. But what did this woman repay him with? It was such a big green hat.


    He recalled Shen Xiao''s frequent excursions, as well as the fact that she always took a shower right after returning home, all of these signs indicated that the footage in front of his eyes must be real. It definitely wasn''t a fake image made by some bored person using some technology.


    But isn''t she pregnant? Was she so hungry that she had to go to a man when she was pregnant?


    Soon, Shen Xiao''s words on the screen solved the mystery in Mu Yunzhu''s heart.


    After finishing her sentence, Shen Xiao jumped off the bed, picking up the clothes on the floor and putting them on one by one. Her tone was cold as she asked the man whose face couldn''t be seen, "Did you get all the clothes in there just now?"


    "Don''t worry. I know you want to get pregnant, but I''ve been working really hard."


    With a "pa" sound, Mu Yunzhu swept the computer on the table to the floor. Ignoring the miserable state of the computer being smashed into pieces, he suddenly stood up, tightly clenched his fist and smashed it on the wooden desk. As if this was not enough to vent his anger, he raised his high fist and ruthlessly smashed it a few more times.


    Shen Xiao! Shen Xiao! You''ve gone too far. "


    She opened the door and saw that the entire room was silent, but she didn''t take it for granted. During this period of time, when she had gone home, she had often seen this kind of scene where the study room''s door was ajar, letting out a bit of light. She had assumed that Mu Yunzhu was playing games inside as usual.


    In the past, when she saw him not doing his work and not saying anything, she couldn''t help but complain in her heart. But today, she was in a good mood, the heavy burden in her heart had finally dropped to the ground. Now, even if Mu Yunzhu was completely engrossed in the game, she was not afraid.


    At that moment, the child was still young and unstable, so as long as she gently tossed him, he would definitely fall off. When the time came, he would put the blame on Bai Qi''s head, and Old Man Mu would say that he didn''t care about the child, but she didn''t believe that if the child really did disappear, he wouldn''t feel sorry for her, even if she couldn''t get Old Man Mu to agree with Mu Yunzhu to cancel the engagement, and for him to tacitly allow her and Mu Yunzhu to be together. She believed that this goal would still be achievable.


    When the time came, she would pretend to be pitiful and persuade Mu Yunzhu to return to the Mu family. She would stay outside in the name of love to be his confidant and seize the opportunity to give birth to his child. This way, not only would she be able to occupy his heart, but she would also be able to hide in the dark and wait for an opportunity.


    "Yun Zhu, quickly come take a look. What is this? Didn''t you always ask me to go to the maternity exam? "I''m afraid that the test for premature delivery is not good for the child. Since it''s already the beginning of the month, I might as well go check it out after I pass the hospital today. Look, the report says that all indicators for the child are normal."


    Shen Xiao pushed open the door to the study room as she blurted out everything she wanted to say. However, when she saw the mess within the study room, she couldn''t help but be surprised. What was going on?


    "Yun Zhu, what happened? Why did you smash the computer? What happened to your hand? "How can it be so swollen?" When she walked up to Mu Yunzhu''s side, Shen Xiaoxiao saw that the ten knuckles he placed on the table were extremely red and swollen. She took a closer look at his face and saw that his eyes were dark and heavy, as if they were filled with a violent storm.


    "Child! Are you sure the child is all right? " Mu Yunzhu stared at Shen Xiao, his gloomy face revealing a smile that chilled the hearts of those watching.


    "Yes ¡­" Yes, the doctor said everything... "It''s all normal." With just a simple sentence, under Mu Yunzhu''s forceful gaze, Shen Xiaoxiao was left speechless. After she finished speaking, she seemed to suddenly recall something and took out a report from her backpack. She hastily spread out the paper on the desk and pushed it towards Mu Yunzhu.


    "You see, this is a report from the hospital. All of the child''s indicators are normal."


    When he saw the 12 weeks of gestation written on the report, his gloomy expression darkened even further. He clearly remembered that the video he had just watched had recorded the time; a month ago, she had been out looking for a wild man, and now, the report she had brought actually stated that she was pregnant for 3 months. What this woman said was the truth.


    In his heart, Mu Yunzhu wanted nothing more than to hack this woman, who had given him such a huge green hat, into a thousand pieces. But when he raised his head again, the malevolent expression had already disappeared from his face.


    "Is that so? It''s great that the child is all right. Did the doctor say when the due date was? "


    "This... The doctor hasn''t said anything yet, he just told me to do a regular pregnancy test and say that as long as the mother is in a good mood and has sufficient nutrition, the child will grow up healthy. " Shen Xiao had a hunch that something was wrong with the situation before her, but when she looked carefully at Mu Yunzhu''s expression, she couldn''t find any flaws. She could only comfort her with the thought that perhaps Mu Yunzhu had grown tired of staying at home and decided to throw a tantrum in the study room.


    "Yun Zhu, you have left the Mu family for so long, it is not the same thing to be in a stalemate with your father. Didn''t you say that your father loves Bai Qi the most? Should we try and have Bai Qi persuade your father? " Seeing Mu Yunzhu quietly sitting in her chair, refusing to answer him, Shen Xiao hesitated a moment, but eventually revealed her plan. She didn''t have much time, and had to blame Bai Qi for her small fortune before she could reveal it.


    "Oh ~ ~ is that so? "Bai Qi is my fiancee. Do you think she will help destroy her marriage as a third party?" Mu Yunzhu gave her a smile that wasn''t a smile, but a smile. Slowly she leaned back in her chair. At this point, he wanted to see what her purpose of lying and playing so many tricks was.


    "How do you know what will happen if you don''t try? If you don''t want to see her, Yun Zhu, then I will go. I will ask her to help us. " Shen Xiaoxiao looked pitifully at Mu Yunzhu. Her deep feelings for her made Mu Yunzhu want to puke. She had originally thought that she was the one who liked this look of hers, but now she felt as if a poisonous snake was coiling around her heart.


    "Do whatever you want. If you want to try, go ahead."


    "Mm. Yunzhu, don''t worry. For our happiness, I will definitely try my best to convince Bai Qi. As long as she''s willing to help us, I''m willing to pay any price." With Mu Yunzhu''s permission, Shen Xiao quickly made her promise. Things went according to her plan, and in her excitement, she chose to ignore the strange feeling that had been plaguing her ever since she entered the room.


    The next day, Shen Xiaoxiao made a phone call to Bai Qi in front of Mu Yunzhu, who readily agreed to the appointment. After Shen Xiao was properly dressed and left the room, Mu Yunzhu put on a set of clothes that she usually didn''t wear, put on a peaked cap, and lowered the brim of her hat as she quietly followed behind.


    Shen Xiao purposely wore a white dress today, only by looking pure and innocent would she be able to make a shocking sight of a baby dyed in blood. She wanted to use such an intense scene to provoke that old man of the Mu Family and Mu Yunzhu; she didn''t believe that these two wouldn''t appear when she entered the hospital.


    When she arrived at the designated coffee shop, she saw Bai Qi, who was dressed like a woman of the workplace, sitting by the window. He was holding a cup of coffee in his hand as he looked out at the beautiful scenery outside the window.


    Her quiet demeanor, coupled with her delicate beauty, attracted the attention of most of the men present.


    Shen Xiao stared at the scene in envy, biting her lip before walking in the direction of Bai Qi.


    When Bai Qi heard the sound and turned his head over, he saw that the attendant of Bai Qi had sat opposite to her.


    The corner of her mouth twitched ever so slightly as she addressed Shen Xiao. "What do you want to drink?" It was as though he didn''t regard Shen Xiao as a rival in love at all.


    "Milk is good. I''m pregnant, so I can''t drink caffeine."


    Hearing Shen Xiao''s reply, Bai Qi pretended like he didn''t understand the bragging behind her words. Instead, he turned to the waiter standing by the table and softly said, "Give this lady a glass of milk."


    When he finished his orders, Bai Qi saw a figure wearing a white T-shirt and peaked cap walking in from the corner of his eyes. He quietly instructed the waiter before quietly sitting down near them, the back of the high sofa in the coffee shop perfectly hiding his figure. However, Bai Qi knew that at such a close distance, as long as he had the heart, he could clearly hear their conversation.


    "Shen Xiao, why did you ask me out?" Now that everyone was present, Bai Qi didn''t waste any time. He went straight to the point and began his conversation.

 C14

    "I hope Miss Bai can be generous and let me and Yun Zhu live."


    "Oh ~ ~ ~ What do you mean? I remember that I didn''t feel sorry for you guys. Even when Mu Yunzhu asked me to cancel the engagement, I readily agreed to it. Is that not considered being magnanimous?" Bai Qi took a sip of the coffee in front of him and placed the cup down before replying in a nonchalant manner.


    "If Miss Bai is really willing to help us, why did you have Yun Zhu return all the rewards? You know it''s a huge sum of money and it can''t be raised in a short week. "


    Shen Xiao, is there something wrong with your head? This dividend originally belongs to me, and now that Mu Yunzhu wants to rescind the engagement with me, I want my own things back. Could it be that you really think that I am a white lotus that can take such a huge loss?! "


    Being scolded by Bai Qi in front of so many people, Shen Xiao almost couldn''t control her temper. But as she thought of her next plan, she forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart.


    "Yun Zhu''s father does not agree with me and Yun Zhu being together. I came this time because I hope Miss Bai can persuade Yun Zhu''s father to help us achieve our goal."


    When Bai Qi heard Shen Xiao speak of this request with such a matter-of-fact tone, he couldn''t help but laugh.


    Shen Xiao originally had a huge feeling of inferiority in her heart when facing Bai Qi. Now, her nerves were stretched taut. Bai Qi''s laughter had become the last straw that broke the camel''s back.


    She suddenly stood up and asked in an exceptionally sharp voice, "What are you laughing at?"


    Bai Qi leaned leisurely against the sofa, his right index finger lightly tapping on the table. A faint smile appeared on his face as he looked at the flustered and exasperated Shen Xiao.


    "If I want to laugh, then laugh. This doesn''t seem to belong to you, Shen Xiaoxiao, right?" Without waiting for Shen Xiao to respond, Bai Qi continued, "If Mu Yunzhu wants to break the engagement with me, then he and I will have nothing to do with each other anymore. Can you and he receive Uncle Mu''s blessing, and whether or not you''re together or separated, that''s none of my business. What right do you have to ask me to help you?"


    "Why should I!? Humph! Just based on this! " Before Bai Qi could react, Shen Xiaoxiao slammed her stomach into the corner of the coffee table. Following the huge impact, she clutched her stomach and fell down with a pale face.


    The people in the coffee shop didn''t know the truth. When they heard the voice and turned around, they only saw Bai Qi sitting calmly on the sofa while Shen Xiao was lying on the floor moaning nonstop. Her white skirt was quickly dyed red.


    The waiter and the manager in charge of the coffee shop rushed over upon hearing the news. They were at a loss as to what to do in the face of such a scene. They did not know how to react.


    "Why don''t you call an ambulance as soon as possible?" Bai Qi shook his head, reminding the flustered manager of the situation. He picked up his bag, stood up, and walked to Shen Xiao''s side. Bending down, he whispered into her ear.


    You want to scheme against me?" Shen Xiao, why don''t you turn around and see who''s standing behind you? He has seen everything that just happened. Also, if you look up again, we have surveillance on the ceiling and every move of ours is very clear. Do you think you can succeed this time around?


    Shen Xiao had been in so much pain that she almost fainted, but after hearing Bai Qi''s words, she bit her lips and looked in the direction he had said. Seeing Mu Yunzhu standing there with a cold expression, she immediately sobered up. How come he''s here? How long has he been here? Did he really see everything?


    Resisting the pain in her stomach, Shen Xiao struggled to get up, wanting to grab hold of Mu Yunzhu''s explanation. She knew that this wasn''t the right time to explain, but if she didn''t, she was afraid she wouldn''t have the chance to.


    Mu Yunzhu allowed Shen Xiaoxiao''s bloodied hands to grab the bottom of his pants as she powerlessly said, "Yunzhu, Yunzhu, listen to my explanation."


    Mu Yunzhu stared blankly at Shen Xiao at his feet before raising his head to look at the still elegant Bai Qi, only to feel waves of dull pain in his head.


    "Yun Zhu, listen to me, I didn''t do it on purpose, I didn''t intentionally knock out our child, I just want to be with you, as long as I can be with you, I''m willing to pay any price."


    "Is that so? The price included sleeping in another man''s bed and having another man''s child? and then let me be a cheap father to your child? " Mu Yunzhu didn''t want to speak of such a private matter in public, but when he heard that Shen Xiao was still acting in the name of love, he couldn''t control his own mouth any longer.


    Hearing Mu Yunzhu''s words, Shen Xiaoxiao felt as if she had been struck by lightning. How did he know? What had happened? Wasn''t everything in her grasp? Why did so much happen now that was not in her hands?


    Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something. She turned her head to glare fiercely at Bai Qi who was standing quietly to the side. "It''s you? Are you the one who caused all of this?"


    Bai Qi picked up his bag and smiled faintly. "What is Miss Shen talking about? What does it have to do with me? If you''re referring to the matter of Mister Mu appearing here, you can ask him whether I informed him. "Alright, since Mister Mu is here, I believe that I won''t need to help out with sending Miss Shen to the hospital. Goodbye, both of you."


    Mu Yunzhu watched as Bai Qi walked out of the coffee shop step by step with a complicated expression on his face. He had never known better than this moment that Bai Qi had completely left his world. Even though she didn''t say anything, he understood that she wouldn''t give him a chance to turn back.


    "Yun Zhu, Yun Zhu, please forgive me. This is all because I love you so much, I really did not mean to lie to you! Don''t leave me alone. " At this point, Shen Xiaoxiao still did not give up and wanted to explain. Seeing that Bai Qi had left, she quickly grabbed onto Mu Yunzhu''s final hope. No matter how small her hope was, she was still unwilling to give up.


    Mu Yunzhu lowered her head to look at the blood-covered Shen Xiao, feeling as if images flashed before her eyes one after another. Originally, they had been so beautiful at first sight, but now, every scene was like a needle piercing his heart.


    He forcefully blinked his eyes, wanting to blink away the haziness in front of his eyes, but it seemed to be useless. After all, the two of them had been spending so much time together, and he was not an emotionless person. It was hard to avoid sadness.


    "Xiaoxiao, this should be the last time I''ll call you that." Mu Yunzhu didn''t wait for Shen Xiao''s answer before continuing, "Don''t worry, I won''t abandon you at this time, but after you leave the hospital, don''t look for me again. I, Mu Yunzhu can wear anything, but I can''t wear a green hat.


    After Mu Yunzhu finished speaking, the sound of an ambulance could be heard outside the door. The emergency doctor pushed through the crowd of onlookers and quickly carried Shen Xiao, who had been stunned by Mu Yunzhu''s words, onto the car.


    He stared blankly at the pool of blood on the ground until the waiter came over with a bucket and mop. Only then did he suddenly raise his head and look around at the crowd that was looking at him with sympathy in their eyes. He expressionlessly lowered the brim of his hat and quickly left the coffee shop.


    After that, no one knew where Mu Yunzhu had gone to. They only knew that he had left a sum of money for Shen Xiao, and a letter for Old Man Mu. After that, no one had seen him again.


    The day after Mu Yunzhu disappeared, Old Man Mu dragged his tired body to the Bai Clan. It seemed that he had suffered quite a blow.


    "Seventh Brother, Uncle Mu is here to discuss Yun Zhu''s matter with you."


    Old Man Mu was relieved when he saw this scene. After all, he was under a lot of pressure to face his white mother right now. After all, the Mu Family had let down the Bai Family, and Yun Zhu had let down seven.


    Bai Qi took out the tea on the tray and respectfully passed it in front of Old Man Mu. It was as if he wasn''t affected by the events of the past few days.


    "Uncle Mu, you''re talking about Yun Zhu''s matter, right?"


    "Ah ~ ~ ~ ~ It''s my Mu Family that''s letting you down. Uncle Mu originally wanted to wait for Yun Zhu to wake up and live a good life with you, but I didn''t expect that Shen Xiao would be so shameless as to look for you, and ¡­ "Furthermore, her stomach is still ¡­" Although he had already done a lot of mental research, he still found it difficult to say anything about his son being cuckolded in front of a junior like Qi Qi. He was so silly that he almost became a father to her.


    "Uncle Mu, you don''t need to say it. I understand that, and I don''t blame Yun Zhu for this, but this matter is currently causing quite a stir. I am a member of the Bai Clan, so I can''t just make things difficult for the Bai Clan because of my feelings alone. Therefore, I''m afraid that the marriage between me and Yun Zhu ¡­"


    It was finally the moment of annulling the engagement. Bai Qi felt relaxed, but on the surface, she still put on a difficult expression.


    This mission was a success, Shen Xiao was already completely ruined because of this matter. In the future, it would basically be impossible for her to marry into a Wealthy Class. But for Shen Xiao, what punishment could be worse than having her Wealthy Class family fall to pieces?


    With his personality, it would be strange if he could stay in the country. However, even though the Mu Family was powerful in the country, it might not be so, but abroad, such a pampered and noble young master could start his own business abroad. Thus, one could imagine that his life would not be so easy.

 C15

    Old Man Mu heard Bai Qiqi''s words and deeply sighed. There was an unspeakable sour expression on his face.


    "That''s right, since the situation has become like this, Yun Zhu is no longer worthy of you." Seventh Uncle Mu didn''t educate his son well enough, so you have suffered a grievance. "


    "Uncle Mu, don''t say that. I''ve also thought a lot about it during this period of time, marriage is a mutual wishful thinking, and since Yun Zhu doesn''t like me, the two of us can''t be happy together even if we have to struggle. So, it''s time to let go, not only for the Bai Clan, but for our future happiness as well."


    Bai Qi''s words were half true and half false. She truly felt that being together with someone she didn''t love wasn''t a good thing, but for the sake of Mu Yunzhu''s future happiness, she might as well lie to the devil. She wished that Mu Yunzhu''s life wasn''t that good, so why would she care for him?


    When Old Man Mu went out, he looked at the bright sunlight outside the door and felt empty in his heart. Mu Yunzhu''s letter had gotten rid of his old father and he definitely had to protect the engagement, but he now knew his mistake. When he made a big name for himself in another country, he would naturally come back to marry Bai Qi, and he had guaranteed that he would tell her that he was confessing to her that he should not have been bewitched by a ghost and had developed a relationship with a woman he did not love.


    He licked his face, secretly hoping to save his daughter-in-law, Qi Qi Qi. In the past, he had already liked Seventh Madame, but now that he saw her performance in the mall during this period of time, this liking was even stronger, but, after all, his son had let her down, and this girl had given him a chance. It was not like Yun Zhu had screwed up time and time and time again, but now, this girl''s heart was cold, and she wanted to give up this marriage for the Bai family, for himself, what could he say?


    After completing the task, Bai Qi thought that she would be recalled back to the company very soon. However, something strange happened. Days passed, but there were no signs of activity from the company.


    There were some questions in Bai Qi''s mind, but no one could answer them in the world of missions. Fortunately, she had been living a peaceful life, and since she could not go back for the time being, she did not know how to go back.


    She knew that Shen Xiao was currently having a difficult time. She had no qualifications, and could not find any other decent work after she was discharged from the hospital, only a job as a resident nanny. Because of her previous reputation, the male owner of this house would often mess with her, and if it was a young man with a large beer belly, she wouldn''t be unhappy. The problem was that this person was a middle-aged man with a large beer belly, who was also from the Mediterranean.


    It turned out that this man already had a wife. Previously, he was just taking advantage of the fact that his wife was away on vacation to secretly hide in this place, but the crux of the issue was that this person was under the control of his wife. After the tigress of his family returned from abroad, he didn''t even need to ask his wife to drive her out of the house because he was afraid that his achievements would be exposed.


    "If you want to continue following him, I don''t care. This kind of man is useless, he doesn''t have the taste to eat it, it''s a pity he gave it up, if you want to treat it as a treasure, I don''t mind giving it to you, but you might not know that this man is a burden to you, and the family property is all mine. If he''s willing to divorce, then I''ll grant you that wish."


    Shen Xiao couldn''t believe what she''d heard. So the man she''d accompanied in disgust had such an identity after such a long time.


    After that, she became more and more frustrated as her days became more and more difficult. In the end, in order to support herself, she had to go to the lowest level red light district.


    Although it was not very big, it was still much better than the previous him. He had once called Bai Qi to try and redeem his feelings, but after hearing his resolute rejection, he gave up in the end. It was not because he did not like Bai Qi, but after separating from him, he discovered that he liked the later Bai Qi, who was not easy to control, so he understood that Bai Qi would not give him another chance like this.


    Although she wanted to replace Bai Qi and live a good life, she couldn''t forget that this was a world of missions. She did not want her feelings or her children to remain here, and she did not wish to carry the concerns of this world with her in the future missions.


    At the very least, during her illness, Bai Qiqi had always been by her side. Before she left, she did not have to worry that her daughter would be ruined by a man. Seeing that Bai Qianzhang was now so strong, she believed that her daughter would be very happy.


    In this life, Bai Qi lived to be over eighty. When she was thirty-five years old, she adopted an orphan and carefully taught him how to grow up, and at the age of fifty, she handed over the Bai clan to him. This child did not disappoint her, and he developed the Bai clan very well.


    She did not say anything, nor did she feel any fear. She only smiled and closed her eyes, and this life, she had successfully completed it. Regardless of whether or not she was able to return to the company, to her, it would still be enough to make up for the loss of her life.


    When Bai Qi opened his eyes again, a familiar white wall had appeared before her. It was precisely that side of the wall that belonged to her office.


    Without waiting for her to adjust her mood, a rating for this quest appeared on the white wall.


    In the world of missions, the other staff Luo Qiqi relied on her own diligence and hard work to learn a large amount of business knowledge and master a comprehensive set of business skills. As a result, staff Luo Qiqi obtained the ability to conduct business and was brought into the future world of missions, she could also be used for sale, with the price of 1000 spirit coins as the market price.


    She felt like a miser now, and as she saw the amount of spirit coins in the account increase bit by bit, she felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. With these spirit coins, she also felt more secure in her heart, and if she encountered any more troubles in the world of missions in the future, she wouldn''t have to be so timid. She could also buy one or two of the special functions in the shop during times of crisis.


    Without waiting for Luo Qiqi to take another look at the balance in his account, another woman''s face appeared on the white wall. This face was surprisingly tender, and there was no longer the resentment on Bai Qiqi''s face from before, but more of it was pale and thin.


    Sorry everyone, it was even later today. It was already 2 o''clock when I returned from the airport last night. I really don''t have the energy to code words.


    Without waiting for Luo Qiqi to say hello, the woman, or rather the girl in the picture, had already begun to silently shed tears. She looked straight at Luo Qiqi, her eyes filled with regret.


    "Sister, please help me!"


    Hearing this sixteen to seventeen year old child ask such a soft and soft request, Luo Qiqi didn''t know how to respond. She was stunned for a long time before she finally opened her mouth and comforted, "Don''t cry first, tell me what I need to do for you, then I''ll think of how to help you."


    After obtaining the promise that Luo Qiqi was willing to help her, the girl stretched out her hand and dried her tears. Biting her lips, she turned and hid herself. As the girl''s figure slowly faded away, the scene of a lavishly decorated living room appeared on the screen.


    Soon after, Luo QIqi saw a much younger child who looked very similar to the girl just now running down the stairs. He was crying as he ran, but he still bit his lips and stubbornly refused to let his tears fall.


    She had never seen her mother, and no one had ever told her about her mother. In fact, whenever she mentioned the word ''mother,'' her father, who was originally unwilling to even speak loudly to her, would fly into a rage and scold her not to ask again in the future.


    She feared the sudden change in her father''s temperament when he talked about her mother. No matter how curious she was, she could only suppress her curiosity and didn''t dare to casually announce it.


    But by chance, she learned about her mother from a servant. Her mother was a senior intellectual who had returned to the country after studying abroad, not only because she was beautiful, but also because she was well-informed and friendly. She didn''t mind her father''s low education, but she had married into an upstart family, so her father didn''t cherish her, and instead had raised a mistress outside of the family because her mother hadn''t been able to give birth to a son.


    Her mother, unwilling to suffer such humiliation, filed a lawsuit in court, filed for a forced divorce, and, citing the infidelity of the man during the duration of the marriage, sent her father out of the house. Her father refused to accept such a divorce, and the divorce went on for a long time, ending with a split between the two of them.


    Hearing such a story, Gao Qiqi became indignant. The lofty image of her father in her heart suddenly collapsed, and she began to slowly distance herself from her father, who was originally close to her, and even moved out of the Gao Family due to the school being busy.


    Coincidentally, not long after she had been living in school, her mother had come to her of her own accord. Upon seeing her, she had cried bitterly while holding her hand, telling her the pain of having her flesh and blood separated from her body for so many years.


    The love of a mother instantly shattered her mental defenses. As for the story between her parents, she was even more convinced that her father, who only knew how to earn money and drink wine, was not worthy of such a noble and beautiful mother. Even so, his father was still not satisfied and still raised women outside the sect.


    After this encounter, the mother and daughter meeting became more natural, and she would often leave the school dormitory to stay at her mother''s house.


    The more he interacted with his mother, the deeper his resentment towards his father grew. The look in his eyes became colder and colder, so much so that when his father happily hosted her birthday party, he ridiculed his father in front of all the guests that he was a scumbag who had changed his mind. His father had lost face in front of his friends and relatives, but even so, he did not scold her.

 C16

    The relationship between father and daughter became more and more tense, and the relationship between Gao Qi and his father also became more and more unpleasant. The relationship between father and daughter became more and more tensed, and the relationship between Gao Qi and his father became more and more unpleasant, and the relationship between them.


    Gao Dai, who didn''t know the truth, had always thought that the child was old enough to rebel, and there was nothing he could do but to be more obedient to her.


    Until one day, Gao Dazhi accidentally saw Gao Qiqi and Shen Ting together. In a fit of rage, he pulled Gao Qiqi away and went home.


    It was the first time in so many years that Gao Qiqi had seen his father in such a rage, to the point that he ignored her presence and cleaned up the living room, ordering him not to see Shen Tingxiao again. If he found out again, he would break her legs, since he was still young, and this was the first time he saw such a scene, and he was truly frightened.


    However, Gao Dazhi''s overbearing policy was not the right path. The more he repressed himself, the more he felt that Shen Ting had settled down. Although he didn''t dare to take any action for the time being, his whole heart was on Shen Ting''s side.


    Afterwards, Shen Tingxiao quietly found an opportunity to meet Gao Seven once more. He told her that if she wanted to be with him for a long period of time without him discovering her, she would have to hide her whereabouts. The best way to hide her whereabouts was to always pay attention to her father''s movements.


    Gao Qiqi remembered Shen Tingxiao''s words very well. In order to avoid being seen by her father, she would often report his whereabouts to Shen Tingxiao, asking for his suggestions.


    Over time, Gao Qiqi developed a habit, which was that whenever his father was in trouble, she would make a phone call to tell Shen Tingxiao. In his eyes, there was nothing strange about this, and she never would have thought that doing so would cause him any harm.


    Time passed day by day, and Gao Qiqi also grew from a junior high school student to a slender and elegant senior high school student. As she grew older, she had more reasons to avoid her father''s attentions and interact with Shen Tingxiao, her biological mother.


    In all these years, Gao Qiqi had never doubted Shen Tingxiao''s intentions, and never wondered why the servant said that his father hated his daughter so much that he wanted to have a son with a woman outside. However, after all these years, he didn''t have the slightest reaction, instead, he doted on his beloved daughter.


    Gao Qiqi was too used to being doted on by his father, and he was too used to Shen Ting''s disguise, so he couldn''t see through a lot of lies that could be easily unraveled.


    As she grew older, her father slowly allowed her to come into contact with his business, because from his point of view, his own career would eventually end up in the hands of his own daughter. He would let his own daughter come into contact with some problems, and while he was still around, he could also tell her how to solve these problems.


    She originally wanted to directly confess to Gao Dazhi that she didn''t want to take over the Gao clan, but Shen Tingxiao stopped her, saying that there was no need to tell Gao Dazhi about this. If he didn''t want to be involved, he could just let her handle everything after bringing the matter over, she would definitely handle it well and not make it difficult for him.


    The reason Shen Tingxiao had given was very touching, saying that he didn''t want his father to look down on him, nor did he want him to lose his position in the Gao Family.


    Without a doubt, Gao Qiqi was acting according to Shen Tingxiao''s request. In her opinion, Shen Tingxiao was her mother, so he couldn''t even love her enough. How could he possibly harm her?


    If Gao Qiqi was kept in the dark and didn''t know anything, perhaps she would live a happy life. However, the heavens could not bear to see this, so they chose to let him understand all the truths.


    On Gao 76th birthday, Gao Dazhi held the grand birthday banquet for Gao Qiqi as usual, but on the day of the birthday banquet, Gao Qiqi and his father erupted in an intense conflict. This conflict was different from the countless conflicts in the past, the only difference was that after quarrelling, Gao Qiqi directly fainted.


    In a moment of shock, Gao Dazhi immediately sent him to the hospital. At such a time, he only wanted to know why he fainted for no reason at all. How could he be bothered by her rudeness?


    When Gao Seven woke up, Shen Tingxiao was by her side, and her father seemed to tacitly approve of her existence because of his illness. Even though her father always had a cold expression in front of her and did not say a single word to her, towards the intimacy that she showed to Shen Tingxiao, he just silently walked away and did not say anything.


    Gao Seven thought that if this went on, perhaps her parents would remarry. Although she believed that her father was not worthy enough to be with Shen Tingxiao because of his betrayal, she would still feel very happy if her parents could stay by her side.


    However, late one night, when Gao Qiqi was getting up in the middle of the night to pour some water, he inadvertently heard a slight argument coming from the corridor outside the ward.


    Out of curiosity, she quietly leaned against the glass window of the ward''s entrance. Under the light of the corridor, she quietly looked towards the source of the sound.


    She was surprised to find that the one arguing outside was her parents. Furthermore, Shen Ting Luo didn''t know what to say, but her father seemed to be extremely angry. His face was flushed red and his body was trembling violently.


    She hurriedly crouched down, and after a long time, there was no movement, only then did she stand up again and look out through the window. But at this moment, there was no one left in the corridor, only the door leading to the staircase swaying back and forth.


    Gao Qiqi was afraid that his father would attack Shen Ting in a fit of rage, so he only hesitated for a moment before opening the door and stealthily moving towards the staircase. The moment she neared the staircase, she heard his voice asking Shen Ting Luo.


    "Qi Qi is your biological daughter, yet you''re using her life to threaten me. Do you still have any humanity left in you?"


    "Oh, my heart hurts. Gao Cheng, sometimes I really wonder if your feelings for seventy to seventy percent are purely paternal. You know that she''s not related by blood to you, but you''re actually willing to spend your life savings for her."


    At this moment, Shen Tingxiao''s tone was full of sarcasm and sharpness. His tone was completely different from when he was speaking with Gao Qiqi.


    Gao Qiqi was not only shocked by Shen Tingxiao''s tone, he was also scared by the meaning behind her words. Wasn''t she the biological daughter of her father? How could she not be? If it wasn''t, why did her father tolerate her so much, her attitude towards him all these years couldn''t be any worse than that, if he wasn''t related by blood, then why didn''t he kick her out of the family? Furthermore, she was very sure in her heart that her father definitely only cared for her as a father and daughter, and would not have any other feelings, like what Shen Ting Luo said.


    Shen Ting Luo, you don''t need to be dirty to think of everyone as dirty, whether you are related by blood or not, she will always be my daughter. You want money, you can, I''ll give it to you, but I hope you can fulfill your promise.


    "You''re welcome!? Humph! "So what if I don''t donate? I was afraid of you in the past, but now I''m not afraid of you, and if you want to save seventy percent of my life, then obediently listen to me. It''s best if you don''t anger me, and if I''m unhappy, then I''ll just fight to the death.


    Shen Tingxiao raised his brows, his face full of disdain. He completely didn''t place his father in his eyes.


    "You! Shen Ting Luo, you were born in October, after all. Do you have the heart to see her suffer? "


    "Of course I can''t, but that depends on how much you can pay. Without this daughter, I still have a daughter abroad, what about you? If you don''t have such a cheap daughter at this age, how can you have one of your own? Now, you don''t even have the chance to regret it anymore. If you want me to save Seventh Madame and keep this secret for you, don''t speak to me so loudly, I won''t be happy! "


    Shen Ting Luo purposefully spoke the last sentence slowly, her tone full of provocation.


    He had been in the business for so many years, and was used to the cunning and cruel nature of human nature, but he had never seen a mother so cold-blooded and selfish. Now, for the sake of seven or seven, he could only suppress the impulse in his heart and forcefully swallow his anger.


    He had watched this child grow up, ever since she was still a baby, he had poured his heart full of love for her, so how could he easily let her go? When he first knew that Qi Qi wasn''t his biological daughter, he was shocked, angry, and angry as he prepared to divorce Shen Ting and completely separate them. However, when Qi Qi''s tender little hand held his finger and charmingly called out "Daddy", he suddenly couldn''t bear it anymore.


    Since he was young, his life had been very tough, he was not even born from his parents, his family was very difficult, but his adoptive parents did not abandon him again, and instead raised him under huge financial pressure as if he was their own son. Even when he was preparing to do business at the beginning, they even helped him to raise him up, and he had already obtained such selfless love from his adoptive parents, and now that they had a relationship, regardless of the reasons behind it, he should not give up so easily.


    After some hesitation, he chose to preserve the marriage in name, but Shen was obviously not satisfied with it, and she did not believe he would tolerate her continuing to be Mrs. Gau for the sake of it. In the absence of a sense of security, she arranged for a woman to enter his room while he was drunk and took the opportunity to make a video.


    It was only when the woman she had arranged for came to her door to say that she was pregnant did Shen Ting start to make a new move. How could she let such a woman threaten her position, but Gao Cheng was different. Although he didn''t have any intentions of reproducing a biological child, he still wanted to keep her because of that child he had that night.


    But before he could do anything, Shen Tingxiao had already brought people to find the woman and forced her to hit the child. By the time he got the news, it was already too late.


    After all, the child he lost was his flesh and blood. How could he not feel heartache? He immediately asked Shen Tingxiao for a divorce. The divorce was not only because of this matter, but also because of such a vicious woman.

 C17

    At first, Shen Ting was unwilling to give up, but when she saw that he was determined, she quickly changed her mind, saying that a divorce was fine, but that the property must all belong to her. She had evidence that he had cheated, and she was not afraid to go to court.


    A high cost is not a soft person. Otherwise, it is impossible to go from poverty to a billionaire in just a few years.


    In terms of authenticity, how could Shen Tingxiao benefit from his eyes with that little bit of means? He could just reveal his background and accuse Shen Tingxiao of marital disloyalty, but he would lose because of his weakness. He did not want to hurt anyone, he did not want this marriage to cast any shadow over him, and if possible, he did not even want Seventh Zhou to know that she had such a sinister mother.


    Shen Ting Luo had lived with him for almost three years, and had a thorough understanding of his temperament, so he quickly grasped his weakness. Shen Ting Luo had lived with him for almost three years, after all, and had a thorough understanding of his temperament, so he quickly grasped his weakness, and started with 77.


    In order to make Shen Tingxiao completely disappear in front of 77, he even made an agreement with her that as long as she didn''t return to his home country, he wouldn''t remarry, and he wouldn''t have any other children.


    Gao Cheng understood clearly that Shen Ting definitely didn''t make these conditions for the sake of seventy percent happiness. She just wanted her daughter to have control over the property of the Gao family. If she really needed it, there was still a way out.


    Even though he knew the real motive behind this request, Gao Cheng still agreed in the end, because he was also afraid that he wouldn''t be able to give her seventy percent happiness. He couldn''t guarantee that he wouldn''t want to have his own child for the next ten years or even decades, and if he really gave birth to another woman, seventy percent wouldn''t be so pitiful.


    The two of them came to an agreement on the same matter with completely different and bizarre motives. Gao Cheng lived a very difficult life after that, but he was very calm, and without half of his wealth, he had to put in more effort than he had in the past. He wanted to take time to grow up with them, but sometimes, there was really nothing he could do about it.


    Qi Qi''s rebellion gave him a headache, and at the same time, he also secretly reflected on whether he was wrong in trying to create a better living environment for Qi Qi after so many years, to run away and neglect to accompany her. In fact, what a child needed more was not money, but the company of their loved ones.


    He had analyzed a lot of reasons for the rebellion, but he never expected that Shen Ting would be part of it. When he saw them walking on the streets happily, he could imagine how shocked he was. He had paid such a heavy price to keep Qi Qi away from this vicious woman.


    When he saw Qi Qi''s stubborn little face asking him why he was so ruthless to separate the two of them in the past, he really had the urge to slap her hard to let her open her eyes wide and see what kind of virtue her so-called mother was.


    After this, he tried his best to spend some time with Qi Qi and also tried to stop them from meeting, but his clumsy method always seemed to have the opposite effect, as Qi Qi Qi became more and more unwilling to get close to his father, and always looked at him with resentment. In the face of this Qi and VII, Gao Shen''s heart was filled with helplessness and fatigue, he didn''t even know if his years of perseverance was worth it, but after so many years of being together with this child, he truly treated her as if she was his biological daughter.


    As the saying goes, not only was there not a single disaster, he was just caught unprepared by Shen Ting''s sudden appearance, and also had a headache due to Qiqi''s disobedience. But then, something happened to Qiqi, and when the doctor told him that 77 was suffering from leukemia, he really had a feeling that the world was coming to an end, this child was still so young, only sixteen years old, and like a flower. If she wasn''t treated in time, she probably wouldn''t even be able to live until seventeen.


    This time, Gao Cheng truly realized that what he did in the past was wrong, but it was too late for regret. He always thought that Qi Seven was still young and that he would spend more time with her in the future, but now, he filled Qi Seven''s extremely short life with loneliness.


    Gao Qiqi did not know how she got back to her room. She felt that her memories were blank for a very long time, and when she regained her senses, the sky outside her window had already begun to whiten.


    She raised her fair and skinny hands in front of her eyes to look at them, and then suddenly rubbed them against her face. After wiping her face a few times, her face quickly turned red, but she seemed to not feel any pain at all.


    "Seven or seven, don''t cry. This kind of woman isn''t worth crying for. Remember, you must be strong. For your father, you must be strong." Although he was admonishing himself in this way, when he said the word ''dad'', his throat suddenly choked up. "Dad, dad, I''m sorry. I''m sorry, Qi Qi didn''t understand. I''m sorry."


    She wanted to personally apologize to him when she came to see him, and also wanted to tell him not to be threatened by that bad woman anymore. Even if she died, she didn''t want that woman''s bone marrow, but perhaps the blow she received last night was too great.


    When Gao Qiqi''s soul floated out of his body, she could clearly see Gao Cheng lying on the glass wall outside the intensive care unit. His expression was haggard, but he was still staring unblinkingly at the position of his bed, and it seemed as if he hadn''t had a good rest in a long time. His originally full face was now sunken in within a short period of time, and his chin was covered with green stubble.


    On the other hand, Shen Ting Luo who just pushed the door open was brimming with energy and a complacent smile could be seen on his face.


    "Gao Cheng, I''ve already donated the bone marrow. It''s time to fulfill your promise. I''ve brought the lawyer here, you should sign now."


    Hearing that Shen Tingxiao was so impatient to get him to sign the certificate outside the ward, Gao Cheng gritted his teeth in hatred, as if a low roar came from below his throat, "You have to be so anxious, your daughter is still lying inside, I don''t know if she''s still alive or not, but you''re actually thinking about that money. Money is more important to you than anything else."


    "Of course, if I don''t get what I should get in time, what if you go back on your word? Gao Cheng, we are a silver and silver pair, and we don''t owe each other anything, and 77 is your daughter now, but her surname is really high. I saved his life, and that is already doing my duty as a mother."


    "You ¡­ You actually have the face to say that kind of thing. If you didn''t drag on and refuse to donate the bone marrow immediately, Qi Qi''s current situation wouldn''t be so bad. "


    "Oh, blame me for delaying the operation for so long. Gao Cheng, if you could immediately agree to my conditions and not futilely go to some bone marrow library to look for it, would the situation be so serious?" Cut the crap, hurry up and sign it. "


    Shen Tingxiao turned around and took the contract he prepared from the lawyer. He placed it in front of Gao Cheng and stuffed the pen into Gao Cheng''s hands, urging him to sign, as if he was afraid that he would go back on his words.


    Seeing Gao Cheng trembling with a pen in his hand, Gao Qiqi did not think twice before stepping forward to knock the pen down, and he loudly stopped him as well, "Dad, Daddy doesn''t want to sign. If you sign, all the hard work you''ve put in for the past few decades will all be in vain."


    However, as her hands passed through Gao Cheng''s hands without any obstruction, Gao QIu was stunned. She stood blankly on the spot, watching as Gao Cheng signed his name. Then, Shen Ting Luo laughed loudly and turned to leave, she raised her hands to her eyes, only to discover that they were translucent.


    She quickly turned her head to look at the intensive care unit, only to see a person who looked exactly like her lying on the bed. His face was pale, oxygen pipes were still in his nostrils, and a steady line was floating on the bedside electrocardiograph screen.


    What happened to her? Was it a soul that had left its shell? But isn''t she still alive? Why did this happen?


    She followed the source of the voice and saw that the electrocardiograph, which had originally been showing off, had now turned into a straight line. At the same time, Gao Cheng also rushed into the ward in a hurry, pressing the bell above the bed in panic.


    Very soon, a large number of doctors and nurses rushed in through the door. Gao Cheng was pushed out of the ward by two nurses. At the same time, the nurses pulled up all the curtains on the glass walls, blocking everyone''s line of sight.


    Gao Qiqi watched as Gao Cheng slowly fell against the wall and sat on the ground. He used both hands to hold his head, knocking it against his knees time and time again. The dull sound of the impact reached his ears, and he felt a needle-like pain in his heart.


    She squatted down and tried to put her arms around Gao Cheng, who was in extreme pain. However, when she thought of the scene of her hands passing through Gao Cheng''s body, she shrank back out of fear.


    "Dad, dad, don''t be sad. This is my retribution. I deserve to die, but I''ve harmed you. Dad, I''m sorry."


    At this moment, Gao Cheng, who had been keeping his head down all this time, seemed to have heard something. He suddenly raised his head and scanned his surroundings with teary eyes, as if he was looking for something.


    After a long while, he finally stretched out his hand and slapped himself forcefully as he mumbled, "I must have been hallucinating. How could I have heard the sound of Qi Qi Qi? She ¡­ she was clearly still fighting against the Grim Reaper." Gao Cheng covered his face with both hands, but tears still seeped through the gaps of his fingers.


    "Qi Qi, you have to work hard. As long as you can survive, dad will definitely accompany you and will never let you grow up alone again. You are dad''s good daughter, how can you bear to leave dad alone."


    She bit her lips and stood up with all her might, wanting to rush into the ward. She had to go back, she had to go back, her father had nothing left for her, she couldn''t leave him alone.


    However, she did not want to give up. She knew that if she were to give up on herself now, it would be equivalent to giving up on Gao Cheng''s hopes. No matter the cost, she had to stay by his side, she had to make up for all her previous mistakes, and she had to help Gao Cheng take back everything that originally belonged to him.


    Just as she was using all her strength to rush forward for the last time, she seemed to have broken through something. A blinding light suddenly flashed in front of her eyes, and she instinctively raised her arms in front of her. When she finally adapted to the light and opened her eyes, she saw a glowing wall.

 C18

    The wall seemed to be a contract. She looked around. Other than this wall, everything else was hazy and nothing could be seen. The sickroom she was in had also disappeared without a trace. Forced into a corner, she could only raise her head and look at the contract on the wall.


    The contract stated that if she really wanted to fulfill her wish, she could request the executor to help her fulfill it at the cost of her soul.


    With his soul as the contract, what should he do? She recalled how her father had cried alone in the corner, but in the end, he still hardened his heart and signed the contract.


    After signing the contract, he saw a young woman on the wall in front of him. She was sitting behind her desk, looking at him calmly, and he did not know why, but when he saw her, he felt a sense of relief, as if an aggrieved child had finally seen his mother. Tears immediately flowed down his face.


    "Sister, please help me!"


    After looking at Gao Qiqi''s short sixteen years of life, Luo Qiqi couldn''t help but close his sour eyes. Actually, Gao Qiqi was just a child who thirsted for motherly love, she was still young and would easily be bewitched by the appearance in front of her, thus she was unable to see the fatherly love hidden deep within the Gao father''s heart. Instead, she easily believed in Shen Ting Luo''s false motherly love.


    Because of his premature death, Gao Qiqi did not know about the development of her world, but as the mission holder, her mind had already been implanted with the trajectory of that world. In every world, there would be an absolute male and female protagonist, and Gao Qiqi was really cannon fodder in her world.


    If one compared the world that Gao Qiqi lived in to a novel, she would be a cannon fodder who didn''t even have the chance to appear on stage. The female lead in that world was the younger sister of the same mother as Gao Qiqi, the female lead was a kind white lotus, pure and kind, the same as Gao Qiqi''s birth mother, who was not lightly harmed by selfishness and viciousness. However, every time she could find an excuse to get rid of Shen Ting, even if she was sold by Shen Ting to the male lead a warm bed.


    Luo Qiqi sighed. Indeed, under the aura of the male and female masters, there were countless cannon fodder piled up on the ground.


    After tidying up the information in his mind, he leaned back in his chair in the most comfortable position and slowly closed his eyes. He didn''t know if it was because of the second mission that she had become more proficient in her business than the first one, but this time, before she had even entered the mission, she already knew when she would enter the world.


    Sure enough, when Luo Qiqi opened her eyes again, all she saw was a sheet of white, pure white walls, a spotlessly white blanket, and her own pale hands.


    She raised her hand, looking at the needle in her arm, and could not help but let out a bitter laugh. Although Gao Qiqi''s life had been saved by the fact that she had entered the mission, her health was definitely not too optimistic. She had been camped on the body of a deceased person for a long period of time, so she did not know how long her body could last.


    Lying on the bed, fast asleep due to exhaustion, Gao Dazhi keenly felt the slight movement on the bed, and immediately raised his head to look in the direction of Gao Qiqi. When his bloodshot eyes met with Gao Qiqi''s clear eyes, a few drops of hot tears instantly fell.


    It was said that men didn''t shed tears easily, but that was truly something they hadn''t done yet.


    Qi Qi, you''re finally awake! You scared dad to death!" "Ever since that day when Qi Qi had fainted due to high fever, it had been almost half a month since then. From the emergency preparation to the sudden cardiac arrest after the surgery, Gao Cheng felt like he had been suffering for almost half a year. If Qi Qi Qi didn''t wake up soon, he didn''t know if he could continue to endure it.


    Qi Qi lifted her already skinny hand and gently placed it on Gao Cheng''s palm. Her chapped lips only moved slightly, and a bloody crease appeared on it. "Dad, I''m sorry."


    This was what the original owner had always wanted to say to Gao Cheng before she died. The first thing 77 chose to do after waking up was to say what the original owner had not said.


    When Gao Cheng saw that Qi Qi Qi''s lips were bleeding from talking, he quickly picked up the water glass from the bedside table and wet it with a cotton stick. He gently wiped her lips, hoping this would make her feel more comfortable.


    It could be seen from these practiced movements that he had done quite a few times during the period of time when Qi Qi was in a coma.


    Seeing his daughter wake up, and hearing his daughter speak to him in such a gentle manner for the first time in so many years, Gao Cheng was so moved that he couldn''t even speak. It was a long time before he finally shouted that.


    "Qiqi, don''t say sorry to daddy, it''s Daddy''s fault. If Daddy could only spare a little more time to accompany you, he wouldn''t have discovered that you''re not feeling well so late. It''s Daddy''s fault, that''s why you have to suffer so much."


    Seeing that Gao Cheng had never mentioned the efforts he had put in and the price he had to pay for her illness, Qi Qi couldn''t help but feel heartache for this middle-aged man. This was a typical Chinese father, for his child, no matter how much pain he had suffered, it wouldn''t be announced to him.


    "Dad, I''m fine now, go back and have a good rest. Don''t worry about me, you look really tired." Although his throat was parched and sore, and every word he spoke was like he was rubbing his throat with a knife, Qi Qi still insisted on saying one sentence. This was not only for the sake of Gao Cheng''s body, but also to give himself a relatively independent space to think about what he should do in the future.


    "Alright, dad will go home first. I''ll be back to accompany you soon. The doctor said that once you wake up, you can drink some liquid food. I''ll go back and make some soup for you." At first, Gao Cheng wasn''t at ease to place the seven or seven people who had just woken up in the hospital, but when he thought about the matter of the family stall and the procedures for the company''s transfer, he thought for a moment and finally agreed. There were no longer any servants at home, so he needed to go back and arrange the meals for them.


    Seeing Gao Cheng leave the ward step by step with his head turned back three times, Qi Qi Qi finally closed her eyes in exhaustion. She had long expected that her health wouldn''t be good for her during this mission, but she hadn''t expected herself to be this weak. She had only spoken for a short while, but it was as if she had run ten thousand meters.


    After closing his eyes and recuperating for a long time, Qi Qi Hua started to think about what to do in the future.


    Gao Cheng had already transferred the entire company to Shen Tingxiao, and all of the money in his bank account had been taken away. Right now, he was afraid that the only thing he had left was the villa at home, which was not that big. According to the current market price, this villa would probably not sell for 30 million, which would be enough for a normal person to spend their entire life.


    Thinking of the situation he would be facing in the future, he felt a headache. This was bound to be a tough battle!


    This was obviously the original owner''s greatest wish. As for Shen Tingxiao, the original owner did not give her any clear requirements, perhaps because her heart still retained the desire for maternal love, then it would depend on her performance in the future, if she still had a bit of conscience, then she would not do anything to her, if she still had no conscience like the original owner of the world, then she would not have any mercy.


    When she recovered a little bit more, she would ask Gao Cheng to help her with the discharge. Since her health was already poor, there was no need to waste time and money. It would be better to start the mission earlier.


    However, the only villa left was already their final resting place. It would be difficult for them to convince Gao Cheng to sell the villa.


    She bit her lips, wanting to wake herself up a little more. Now that she had the liquid assets of 5100 in her hands, she did not know if she could improve her physical strength or not, and thinking about this, Qi Qi Qi started to flip through the account book she had memorized, after a while, she really found this function. A strong body, a healthy body, only sold for 2000 spirit coins.


    2000 spirit coins! Not to mention that she was a miser, anyone would be reluctant to spend half of their assets at once. Now was not the most difficult time, when it was really critical, she would spend 2000 spirit coins again. Sigh ~ The poor were truly pitiful.


    Having found such a function, Qi Qi Qi felt slightly more at ease. At the very least, she knew that there was still one more step she could take.


    After Gao Cheng returned home, he hurriedly took a bath. After removing some of his fatigue, he returned to the kitchen and washed the vegetables he brought back along the way. Even though he hadn''t been to the kitchen for many years, he still knew the basic procedure for cooking porridge.


    After placing the congee on the casserole, he hurried back to the study room and sorted out the assets in his hands. When he saw the list of assets, Gao Cheng immediately frowned.


    After all, he had been in shock for such a long time, and his physical mechanism had been severely damaged. He also promised that he would spend more time with her in the future, and this would definitely take up a lot of his time. If he wanted to start a new business, he would need to spend some of his time trying to do so, and if he didn''t have any money, he would have to find a small business to manage his business for the rest of his life. As long as he could keep him happy, it didn''t matter to him anymore.

 C19

    After looking at the accounts, he originally wanted to rest for a while before getting up and sending food to the hospital, but then he closed his eyes lightly and actually passed out. It was only when he heard a very noisy sound come from beside his ears that he frowned and opened his eyes.


    The moment he opened his eyes, his consciousness was still a little blurry. Looking at the smog that filled the study, he actually couldn''t react to what had happened.


    Only when he heard the shrill siren coming from outside the window did he suddenly jump up from his chair, but the moment he stood up, he immediately coughed several times. He hurriedly took out a tissue from the table, and poured some leftover tea onto it.


    He was also confused. How could he go inside at this time? He should be running towards the window as fast as he could, waiting for the firefighters to give him first aid.


    Thus, when Gao Cheng opened the study door in a panic, the fire that had originally spread to the corridor came in contact with a large amount of air, and the tongue of fire rushed into the originally surviving study room. There were already a lot of paper products in the study room, and as soon as the tongue of fire spread out, the fire immediately became bigger.


    He took off his coat and put it on his head, then quickly ran to the balcony before the study was completely burned up, closing the balcony door tightly. He looked back downstairs, and when he saw the fire engine that had already arrived, he let out a huge sigh of relief, but when he looked back at his villa, he couldn''t help but despair. This was already the only place he and Qi Hua had to live.


    Soon, the firefighters found Gao Cheng hiding on the balcony on the second floor. He had built a fire escape ladder and saved the life, but the villa was completely destroyed by the firefighters'' water guns.


    Gao Cheng stood in front of the villa that had been burnt beyond recognition. He really wanted to cry, but no tears came out. He finally understood what it meant to be unable to face the rain. Without this roof, he didn''t even know how to face the seven of them. Will there be any peace after that?


    After the firemen entered the house and completely eliminated the fire, the leader of the firemen walked in front of the battered Gao Cheng and handed him a broken earthenware jar.


    "Mr. Gao, we''ve found the reason for the fire, it''s because the thing in the stew has dried up, but such a small stew should not have caused such a big fire, and we just observed your kitchen, the fire prevention facilities are doing pretty good, even if the kitchen is on fire, it shouldn''t have spread to the whole mansion so quickly, so we think that this fire is strange, if Mr. Gao agrees, we will continue to investigate."


    Gao Cheng stared blankly at the stew in the fire chief''s hand, his heart full of frustration. He didn''t even hear the words that came after, all he could think of was how useless he was.


    The failure of a career, the failure of a marriage, the severe illness of seven or seven years, as well as the burning of a villa, all of these things happened one after another. Everyone would feel too much pressure in their heart, and Gao Cheng couldn''t help but break down a little.


    When he received the notification and dragged the patient to a sickroom not too far away, Gao Cheng still hadn''t woken up. One of their neighbors was standing next to his bed, and they had met with him a few times.


    "Miss Gao." When the man saw Gao Qiqi enter the ward with a wheelchair, he politely greeted him. His attitude was cold and distant.


    "Did you send my father to the hospital? "Thank you!" Gao Qiqi sincerely thanked her. After all, Gao Cheng was the main target of her mission. If she were to accidentally die because of this accident, it would be a huge problem for her.


    "You''re welcome, it''s just a small matter. Since Miss Gao has come, I will take my leave now." The man didn''t bother with pleasantries and only replied with a simple courtesy before taking his leave.


    Qi Qi knew that the people living in their area were either rich or powerful. She knew that the other party was definitely busy, so she didn''t stay any longer. After seeing them out, she thanked him once again.


    The man stood at the door and looked at his seven or eight hands that were still on his knees. He frowned slightly and took out a delicate card from his pocket. He took out a white card and handed it over to her.


    "This is my name card. If Miss Gao needs any help, please do not mention it." Without waiting for Qi Qi to decline, he nodded at her and turned to leave.


    Qi Qi looked down at the name card in her hand and saw that there was only one name and one phone number on it. Other than that, there was nothing else. It was not as gaudy and full of titles as the business cards beside it, as if it was afraid that others would not know of its status.


    "Jia Kun" softly said the name on the name card. Qi Qi Qi couldn''t help but be stunned. This name was really rare. Jia Kun, fake!


    Realizing that she was staring at the name of a stranger she had only met a few times, Qi Qi Qi couldn''t help but laugh involuntarily. She casually put her business card into her pocket, then signaled the nurse behind her to push her to Gao Cheng''s bedside.


    "Is my father''s illness serious?" Qi Qi Qi frowned and looked worriedly at Gao Cheng on the bed before turning around to look at the doctor who was standing at the end of the bed.


    "Miss Gao, don''t worry. Mr. Gao is just overworked, and he''s been frightened by the fire. As long as he can take a good rest for a few days, it will be fine." On the other hand, your body is still very weak. You shouldn''t have gotten out of bed, you should have just gone back to your room and rested. "


    This doctor was also the attending physician of Gao Qiqi, and was relatively familiar with the situation of the Gao Clan. He knew that his father was only concerned about his health, so he advised him out of concern.


    "Fire?" Qi Qi previously only heard that his father had been hospitalized in a coma, so she didn''t know anything about the fire, so when she heard about it, she couldn''t help but feel shocked.


    "Miss Gao, you still don''t know?" There''s been a fire in your villa with Mr. Gao. I saw the news before I came. It''s burned pretty badly, so I guess we can''t live here anymore. "


    The doctor seemed to be afraid that his wrong words would affect her body, so he quickly added, "Miss Gao, don''t worry. When Mister Gao wakes up, he will definitely be able to handle this matter properly. Moreover, most villas will buy insurance, so the losses won''t be too severe."


    Hearing the doctor''s consolation, Gao Qiqi bitterly smiled. They really didn''t buy insurance, Gao Dazhi had always felt that insurance was unreliable, and because the company''s property involved everyone''s interests, there was no way for them to not buy insurance. However, for private property like the villa, Gao Dazhi was not the type of person who bought insurance.


    The doctor told Seventh Seven to go back to his room and rest early before leaving. Seventh Seven pushed the wheelchair closer to the bed of Gao Cheng. Looking at Gao Cheng, who had clearly lost a lot of weight during this period of time, his heart ached.


    It was unknown if it was because the company wanted her to have a taste of her parents'' affection that she had never experienced before, but during these two missions, she had experienced the selfless love of her parents for her children. Of course, there were exceptions, and that was Shen Tingxiao.


    Qi Qi was convinced that a person''s character was closely related to the environment she grew up in. She had an intuition that once she understood Shen Ting''s past, she would understand the reason behind all of her actions.


    "Seventh Brother, why are you here? Why aren''t you lying in bed? " Seeing that his daughter, who was supposed to be lying on the bed resting, was actually in front of his bed, Gao Cheng immediately forced himself to sit up, looking like he was about to lift up the blanket and push Qi Hua back into the ward.


    "Dad, dad, hurry up and lie down. My body is much better now, don''t only worry about me, take note of your body. Do you still have some drops hanging on your hand? Don''t recover your blood! "


    "How could a child like you be so reckless? How long has it been since you last got out of bed? What if your wounds split open?" Gao Cheng was afraid that it might affect his wound, so he gave up on the idea of getting off the bed. He just frowned as he looked at him.


    "I just came to see you. Now that you''re awake, I''m going back to the ward. Don''t worry." Qi Qi paused, then looked up at Gao Cheng. "But ¡­" Dad, the house is on fire, do you have any plans for the rest? "


    "¡­" Hearing about the house, Gao Cheng fell into silence. Right now, he didn''t have a clue, but he still had some money, but it was only a few million yuan. If he wanted to renovate the villa or buy another house, he probably wouldn''t have any money left.


    Dad, I think it''s just the two of us, so there''s no need for us to live in such a big house. We might as well just sell that piece of land, since the house is gone, and the land can still be sold.


    She understood that if someone encountered many bad things one after another, they would eventually feel discouraged, but now was not the time to relax. The road in front of them was still very long, and it was not easy to walk on it, so they had to have a firm conviction to walk through it.


    "Sell it! "If we sell it, we won''t have a place to stay anymore. If we buy another one, it''ll be a lot of money!" Gao Cheng furrowed his brows in thought for a moment. In the end, he still felt a little hesitant.


    "NO!" "Dad, let''s not buy a house, right now is the time for prices to go down. Buying a house is equivalent to losing money in business, we''ll rent one first and talk about the house when the business gets bigger."


    "Business has expanded!?" Gao Cheng stared at the wall in front of him as he murmured these words. His heart was filled with uncertainty. If he grew up in business, would he still be able to wait for such a day? The heavens did not seem to want him to realize his dream. Every time his career went up, there would always be something like this. Could he do it again this time?

 C20

    It was better for Gao Cheng to think about it himself. She believed that once or twice, he would be able to achieve success in his career. Such a person would not give up so easily; what he needed now was an independent space and time.


    "Dad, I''ll go back to my room first. About the sale of the land, think about it carefully. Don''t give up on your dream. As long as you want to realize it, I''ll always be with you."


    77 didn''t wait for Gao Cheng''s reply, only patting the back of his hand. His movements didn''t seem like those of a 16 year old child, but at this moment, Gao Cheng naturally wasn''t in the mood to pay attention to these details.


    Just a moment ago, she had been holding on in front of Gao Cheng, but now that she was lying on the bed, she discovered that her back was covered in layers of cold sweat. As expected, going back and forth to the ward and forcing herself to sit in the wheelchair for so long, it was still too much of a struggle for her current body.


    She reached for the call button at the head of the bed and pressed it with some effort. When the nurse came in, she then motioned to the nurse to wipe the cold sweat off her back. If she didn''t quickly wipe off the sweat and change into clean clothes, she was afraid that her condition would worsen.


    "Miss Gao, it''s not that I''m talking about you, but your body is still so weak, you shouldn''t try to force yourself to look at your father. Your father just passed out due to exhaustion, it''s not that serious of a problem, rather you don''t know to take care of yourself at such a young age. The nurse was already not young anymore as she wiped Qi Qi away, at the same time persuading her earnestly. Although her words were unpleasant to hear, it was still a good intention, and Qi Qi could understand.


    "I know, thank you for your concern. I will take care of my own body, but which daughter in this world would lie on a bed without any emotion after hearing her father''s words?" The corner of Qi Qi Qi''s eyes glanced at the figure standing outside the door. Although her body felt weak and she found it hard to say even one word, she still persisted in saying those words.


    Gao Cheng was standing outside the ward with his back to the door. Hearing Qi Qi''s words, his heart was sour and sore, but his eyes were unbearably hot.


    Just now, his mind was full of the matter of selling or not selling the land, and he actually didn''t notice the current state of Qi Qi''s body, and whether it would be dangerous for her to push the wheelchair back to the room by herself. Thinking of this, he got off the bed and came over to check out the situation, but he didn''t expect to hear the conversation between Qi Qi and the nurse the moment he arrived at the door.


    These words from Qi Qi were undoubtedly a strong needle in the heart. This caused his already exhausted heart to once again be filled with a spring of life.


    Seventh Seven was filled with hostility towards him. He did not regret giving up everything to save Seventh Seventh Seven, but he was also worried if he could live peacefully with Seventh Seven in the future. If Seventh Seven wanted to find Shen Tingxiao again, what should he do? In the past, the reason why Shen Tingxiao was willing to play the role of mother and daughter was so that he could benefit from her. Now that his entire fortune had been given to her, she wasn''t willing to waste any more time on him.


    On one hand, he was worried that Qi Seventh would seek Shen Tingxiao, but on the other hand, he was more worried that if Shen Tingxiao was not willing to disguise himself and let Qi Seventh know the truth. This truth would undoubtedly deal a devastating blow to Qi Seventh, so how could her current body withstand such a blow.


    Now that he knew that her father had died in her heart, what else did he have to worry about? For the sake of Qi Qi, he should cheer himself up, because when they divorced, he swore to himself that he would make Qi Qi happy.


    A person''s spiritual energy was a very mysterious existence. Once Gao Cheng thought through it, he would feel that his entire body was filled with strength. In just a day''s time, his entire mental appearance would change.


    He first checked with the doctor to make sure that there was no rejection before going home to sell the land.


    They felt that business would flourish if they were to sell this land, so this piece of land, which was already popular among the merchants, would quickly change hands. Surprisingly, the income from the high quality land was also over ten million, in addition to the remaining three million yuan in savings; although it wasn''t much, if it was like what Qi Qi Qi said, they could start off with a few small businesses and still have plenty of money.


    In just a short week, Gao Sheng had completed all the necessary procedures. During this period of time, Qi Seven also worked very hard to cooperate with the hospital''s treatment. Although her body''s condition was still not good, but compared to a few days ago, she would at least not be exhausted from sitting for a while.


    "Dad, there''s nothing wrong with my body. I want to leave the hospital as soon as possible. I''m just resting at the hospital, so I can feel more at home."


    Qi Qi would seize this opportunity to make a suggestion with Gao Cheng. She didn''t have much time left on this mission, so she had to fight for every second.


    "But ¡­" After all, there are doctors and nurses here who can be summoned 24 hours a day. What if you suddenly feel unwell after returning home? Furthermore, the current rental environment is incomparable to before, so dad is afraid that you might not get used to it. " Gao Cheng frowned in opposition.


    Dad, home is home, no matter what it becomes, it is home. Moreover, how can a hospital have a home that is comfortable? I know my own body very well, I just don''t have a good stamina. Other than that, there''s nothing else.


    Qi Qi Qi held Gao Cheng''s hand as she acted like a spoiled child. She had been much older than her previous life in the quest, but now she had to act like a little girl. This was a bit awkward.


    Gao Cheng looked at Qi Jian''s face which had turned increasingly rosy over the past few days. He lowered his head and thought about it for a long time before nodding. When he lifted his head to look at her, he could faintly see the gratification in his eyes.


    "Qi Qi, after such an illness, dad feels that you''ve grown up a lot, maybe dad made a mistake in the past, I shouldn''t have thought that you were still a child and made decisions for you, I should hide and listen to your advice."


    "Pfft!" Covering his mouth, Qi Qi smiled mischievously. "Dad, it''s not too late for you to realize your mistake now. From now on, I will give you many opinions. You must remember today''s words and accept them humbly!"


    "You are such a crafty little prick. Good, good, your dad will keep his word. It''s just that, you better not come up with any rotten ideas." Before he came over, he specially went to buy some warm porridge. After the last porridge stew incident, he had never been to the kitchen again, one of which was a little depressed, and because he was too busy these days, he didn''t have time to study the culinary arts. Fortunately, he was able to buy ready-made food outside, although it wasn''t necessarily delicious, it was still better than the ones he cooked.


    She knew that Gao Cheng did not take her words seriously, but she also would not try to differentiate anything at a time like this. Her body needed a long period of time to recuperate, so it was naturally impossible for her to go to school to study, at least for a short period of time. It just so happened that she could use this time to properly help Gao Cheng develop his career.


    Since he had already made his decision, after confirming that seventy percent of the children''s health could be discharged, Gao Cheng went through the discharge procedures in the shortest time possible. Before he left the hospital, he spent a day carefully cleaning the rented house, especially the seventh room. He even meticulously renovated it to its original appearance, so as to reduce the psychological disparity between the children.


    Qi Qi saw the decorations in the room and the small accessories that were exactly the same as before and felt extremely warm inside. Qi Qi saw the decorations in the room and the small accessories that were exactly the same as before, and felt extremely warm in her heart.


    "Qi Qi, you must be exhausted from the journey back. Hurry up and rest for a while. Dad will go cook right away. When you wake up, you can eat!" When Gao Cheng saw that 77% of the students were satisfied with his arrangement, his heart blossomed with joy. For a parent, no matter how much effort they put in, it would be worth it. As long as the child was happy.


    "Dad, I just slept at the hospital this morning, how can I sleep that much? Don''t worry about me, drink some water and rest for a while, look at your forehead full of sweat."


    As the saying goes, you have to repay the favor with a peach. Gao Cheng was good to her, so naturally, she would have the same emotional reward with him.


    Gao Cheng happily allowed Qi Qi Jian to push him into the living room. He did not forget to pull Qi Qi Hua over to his side and sit down as well.


    "Dad, I see that you''ve been very busy recently. Have you gotten an idea of what''s going on in the business world?" Qi Qi opened the bottle of mineral water on the table and handed it to Gao Cheng, pretending to ask carelessly.


    "Sigh ~ ~ The era has changed after all. In the past, dad started his business as a retailer and after that, his business grew and he left for physical sales. Now that everything has started from scratch, I went out to inspect everything." Gao Cheng first took a sip of water before he expressed his thoughts from his investigation.


    "Dad, actually, I have an idea. Just take it as a joke and listen to it. It''s not feasible, it''s up to you to decide."


    Oh ~ We also have our own business. Come, come, let''s hear it. Maybe we can really become father''s advisors." There was a smile on Gao Cheng''s face as he spoke, completely ignoring this matter. The only reason he wanted to hear it was because he wanted to coax his daughter.


    Qi Qi didn''t think much of it. The original owner had always scoffed at business matters, wholeheartedly wanting to become a cultured person like Shen Tingxiao. No wonder Gao Cheng didn''t believe that she had a good suggestion.


    Dad, friends around me and I have always bought things online, and we feel that it''s both cheap and convenient. Although the things inside the mall are good, it''s not something that ordinary people can afford, and I''m fine, I always had a credit card that Dad gave me, but the friends around me don''t, so they don''t like going to the mall with me, and over time, I learned to buy things online just like them. I think there must be a lot of people like us in the entire country.


    At the end of his sentence, Qi Qi could be seen leaning against Gao Cheng''s side, coquettishly hugging his arm, pretending to be bored at home and needing Gao Cheng''s company.


    However, when he thought about it more carefully, what Qi Qi said wasn''t completely unreasonable, on the contrary, it was very reasonable. During this period of time, he had actually thought about using the internet as a channel, and now that his career foundation had been laid out in the past, he was old and didn''t want to go through new things. Now that everything was about to start over, he might as well follow the trend of the times and find a way out for himself.

 C21

    The more Gao Cheng thought about it, the more he felt that this suggestion was feasible. What moved him the most was not that the initial cost of the online business was small, but that he could stay at home and accompany seven or seven people, thus not breaking his original promise. Later on, he also focused on exploring the online market, especially finding his former friends who had opened a market on the internet.


    After a period of preliminary observation, Gao Cheng basically placed his future business in the food, clothing and daily necessities area. However, he still found it difficult to develop his daily necessities.


    "Dad, what are you upset about? I think you''ve been sitting here for a long time! "


    Qi Qi walked out of the kitchen and handed the cup of milk to Gao Cheng. Very naturally, she found a chance to sit beside him and casually picked up the documents in her hands.


    She took a look and saw that it was a marketing plan from three different directions. It was not very detailed, so it seemed like it was just a preliminary idea.


    She had spent her entire life on the last quest and managed to cultivate a pair of Fiery Eyes of Truth (Gold). With just a glance, she could tell if it was feasible or not.


    As far as she could judge, all three plans were pragmatic, but they lacked innovation.


    Also, with their current economic strength, it was impossible for all three industries to be involved. Gao Cheng must have been troubled over which of these three to choose.


    As expected, Gao Cheng''s answer very quickly verified 77% of the conjectures.


    "Dad is worried about which industry we are going to develop into in the future and which is better than the price." Dad is worried about which industry we are going to develop into and which is better than the price. Gao Cheng humbly asked for Qi Qi''s opinion, not because he believed in her business ability, but because the main group of online business was young people, and Qi Qi''s preferences and opinions were similar to those of the major consumer groups.


    "Dad, I think this is better." After placing the portion of three minutes worth of food in Gao Cheng''s hands, he raised his head with a confident smile on his face.


    "You greedy little cat, you chose this one because you wanted to eat something good!" Gao Cheng pointed at 70-70''s nose with a doting expression.


    "Where is it!?" "Dad, you can''t be so unfair to me. I have a reason for choosing this." Qi Qi then tilted her head and laid it on Gao Cheng''s shoulder, then spoke out her thoughts in a spoiled manner.


    Dad, think about it, as the saying goes, when people want to eat, when people want to eat, when their standard of living is not good, when they want to eat their fill, when their standard of living is good, they have to eat well. Dad, think about it, as the saying goes, when people want to eat first, when people want to eat, when their standard of living is not good, when they want to eat their fill and when their standard of living is good, they have to eat well.


    From ancient times until now, there had always been bottlenecks in every industry, but this was the only industry where eating like this had always been a constant trend. Everyone understood this principle, so when it came to eating like this, the competition was always fierce. How could they suddenly rise up within the food army?


    Gao Cheng had never been a self-assured person. Every time he tried, he would quickly hit the nail on the head. This time, he would ask for his daughter''s opinion. After all, as a long-term consumer in the online market, she still had a say.


    "Qiqi, what do you think we make will have a market? What do you girls usually like to buy online?"


    Her dad really has a business mind. He knows how to ask for the opinions of consumers, no wonder he was able to climb out of the valley once or twice. "Let me think, I remember that in the past, I and my classmates loved to buy creative snacks, but after all, this is only for girls. Dad, I feel that the purchasing power of little girls is still very limited, after all, everyone hasn''t started working yet, and they only rely on their parents'' pocket money. Even if we buy more, we might as well use the young women''s work field as the main consumption group."


    "Oh ~ ~ I wonder why you have such a thought. Tell me about it." Gao Cheng patted the head of Qi Hua with a comforting look on his face. Such a sharp sense of business sense of smell was truly priceless.


    But the smile on his face didn''t last long, because he immediately remembered what the doctor had said: Qi Qi was destined to never live a long life, how could he bear to put too much pressure on her? As long as she could live until the end in peace, he would thank the heavens.


    She knew what he was worried about, but she deliberately raised her head with a face full of pride. "My opinion is very expensive. If I say good, should daddy give me some rewards?"


    "Fine, fine, fine. We are Queen 7, so whatever you want, Daddy will satisfy you. This is fine, right?"


    "Dad, think about it, girls who have just started working, they just started to earn money, and the consumption desire that was suppressed due to lack of money can''t not increase too much. At this time, the family doesn''t have any financial burden, they don''t need to pay the mortgage, they don''t need to raise a car, they don''t need to take care of their parents, some have boyfriends, and they can even let their boyfriends contribute points. They are truly rich, and as long as it meets their need to buy, they will definitely not be stingy with that little bit of money in their pockets."


    "Then why don''t you focus your consumption on rich and idle wives? Aren''t they more productive than new women? " Gao Cheng retorted with a smile.


    Qi Qi Jian raised her head and glanced at Gao Cheng, intentionally rolling her eyes, "Dad, you know the reason why, but you''re still asking me this. You''re purposely testing me!"


    He could only seriously say: "The rich ladies'' consumption position is too high, they prefer custom-made items. They don''t see the quality of the goods, they see the vanity that comes with the goods, so what they want is not the good stuff, but the noble things. Moreover, in this society, rich ladies are the minority, even if we spend a lot of time and effort to satisfy the demands of these rich ladies, how big can our market be? The most important thing is that we don''t have enough capital, so it''s not a good place to start. "


    As Qi Qi Qi''s voice faded, at the same time, there were also tears that fell from Gao Cheng''s eyes. Taking advantage of when Qi Qi wasn''t paying attention, he quietly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and pulled his emaciated daughter into his arms.


    "Qi Qi, you''re so smart. Daddy is proud of you." Could it be that he was jealous of talent? Why did his cute and beautiful daughter get leukemia? Why was she shocked for such a long time after the successful bone marrow transplant? Why?


    Qi Qi looked at the scene reflected on the television screen across the sofa and sighed secretly. She was still here, and Gao Sheng had already become so preoccupied with his own matters. If she really died, what would happen to Gao Dazhi? Perhaps the original owner was only willing to give up his own soul to accompany her at the end of his life, so that Gao Cheng wouldn''t have to face the death of his daughter so early.


    Thinking of this, Qi Qi was even more determined to help Gao Cheng rebuild his career as soon as possible. If she really could not escape from death in the end, at least Gao Cheng would still have his career as his companion.


    The father and daughter duo both unanimously proposed an ancient food that could be produced by hand, that was to say, they were looking for an ancient recipe that had been left behind since the ancient times. Through manual refinement, they would produce finished products, although this kind of product production would definitely be affected, but if one was targeted at the small class, then the room for profit would be relatively large, and they would also want to go back to their customers. In the current market, the most important thing was to have a reputation, to have a reputation, and to have a certain degree of fame and reputation, it would be equivalent to having a market.


    After agreeing on the initial plan of action, Gao Cheng immediately put his whole heart and soul into this unfamiliar field. He was born into the business world of daily necessities, so he wasn''t clear on many aspects of diet and food. The first part of the process was to get him to work on the first and second documents, then he ran around the various departments for a few days before he got all the documents approved. Although it was done online, there were still a lot of necessary documents and procedures, especially for them to make a big business out of it.


    She hoped that she would be able to personally develop at least one or two kinds of finished products before Gao Cheng completed the procedures. In this way, once Gao Cheng did everything right, they could quickly put the products into the market and promote them. Of course, taking into account the cost and the immaturity of the products, they could only give it a try first on a small scale, but no matter how small the scope was, she still needed to prepare in advance.


    On the internet, she found out that there was an old grandma living in the old city who made pear paste that was very famous. Coincidentally, the first one that she wanted to sell was this product, so she wanted to go pick it up first, this old grandma was old and had a strange temper, so the amount of pear paste she made was very limited every time she made it. But as long as she had finished it, it would definitely sell out as soon as she took it out.


    After a long time, they finally found this small shop with only one small door open. There was no sign of outside, only an old grandma who was about 70 years old lying in the sun on a deck chair in front of the door. Her eyes were closed and her body was motionless, as if she had already fallen asleep.

 C22

    She gently walked to the side of the stairs and sat down with her hands on her chin, lowering her head to look at the mottled shadows cast by the sunlight on the stone path at the entrance of the alleyway. There was an old pear tree planted at the entrance of the store, and it looked pitifully deformed, but the shadow of the leaf was constantly shaking on the ground due to the wind.


    Just as she was enjoying herself, she actually didn''t notice a figure standing in front of her. If this person hadn''t opened his mouth to speak, it would have taken her a very long time to realize this.


    "Miss Gao?" The person''s voice was cold and without any emotion. It was just that the end of his sentence was slightly raised, indicating that he was asking a question.


    She reached out her hand to block the sunlight above her head, and squinted as she looked at the person who had come over. However, this person was standing with his back facing the sunlight, so she could only see a vague outline, and she couldn''t see his face at all. The only thing she could be sure of was that this person was tall and thin, and his figure was a little familiar.


    The person also seemed to have understood the current situation of Qi Seventh. He took a step back and leaned to the side, and this time, Qi Seventh finally saw his face clearly. She quickly stood up and greeted him courteously.


    "Mister Jia, what a coincidence, thank you very much for sending my father to the hospital last time. I originally wanted to visit you together with my father to thank you, but it seems like you weren''t home during that time."


    The breeze blew gently, the trees'' shade was mottled, and the stone street in the alleyway seemed to have something that should not have been said to spoil the mood. However, Qi Qi Qi admitted that she did not have much of a relationship with this Mister Jia, so she could only dryly say some polite words, at least to prevent the scene from becoming too cold to watch.


    "Miss Gao, you''re too courteous. This was just a small matter. Miss Gao had already thanked you before at the hospital." The corner of Jia Kun''s mouth slightly twitched. His originally expressionless face had a strange warmth to it from this smile.


    "Mister Jia, why have you come here ¡­" Qi Qi gave an embarrassed smile, retracted his absent-minded look from his smile, and asked. Today, his casual attire was just a simple jumper with khaki coloured pants underneath. His left hand was in his pocket, and his temperament seemed to match this ancient alley.


    "I''m here to buy some pear paste. The elders of our family are coughing due to the weather. They are used to eating pear paste made by Grandma Xu. I came over to buy some today."


    Qi Qi heard that a person like Jia Kun would also come specially for the Pear Paste. Just as she was about to inquire about the Pear Paste, a voice came from behind and interrupted her words.


    "Mister Jia, you came. Look at me, I''m so muddleheaded. I wanted to welcome you at the door, but I actually fell asleep in the sun."


    Qi Qi turned her head in the direction of the voice and saw that the old grandma, who was originally sleeping soundly on the recliner, hurriedly stood up. As she stood up, she hastily called out to Jia Kun, who was behind her.


    Qi Qi Qi frowned slightly. Could this Grandma Xu have some connection with this Jia? The news she found on the internet was that this Grandma Xu had a weird temper. Although the pear paste she made was very popular, she was not cold nor hot to the customers.


    "Mister Jia, please come in. The pear paste you wanted has already been prepared. Actually, you just need to call me and say goodbye. Why did you have to come all the way here? If you didn''t say goodbye, I definitely wouldn''t have let you come to such a simple place."


    Grandma Xu hurriedly put away the reclining chair by the door as she guided Jia Kun into the room.


    However, Jia Kun didn''t immediately leave her and enter. Instead, he lowered his head and nodded at her. "Miss Gao also came for Grandma Xu''s Pear Paste. Why don''t we enter together?"


    This person''s elegance and demeanor did not seem to be cultivated from the day after tomorrow, but was rather innate. She had once seen Jia Kun in and out of the Gao family''s villa and guessed that he lived in that area, but she did not know anything about his family background. From his words and actions, it was obvious that his family background was not simple at all.


    This time around, Qi Qi Qi only wanted to finish the quest as quickly as possible in a limited amount of time. She did not want to cause too much trouble, so she put away her curiosity towards Jia Kun and politely thanked him for his invitation.


    When Grandma Xu heard Jia Kun''s invitation, she changed her previous cold attitude and smiled at him. When she entered the house, she immediately made tea for the two of them.


    Qi Qi looked at the light brown tea on the tea table. Although it had yet to enter her mouth, she could already smell the unique aroma of the autumn pear. With this thought, Qi Qi didn''t pretend to be polite and decline, but directly picked up the cup and took a sip.


    Although he had no knowledge of Chinese herbal medicine, Qi Qi could tell that this pear paste definitely contained Chuan Bei, Loquat Leaf, Luohan Fruit and Glycyrrhiza uralensis, but as for whether it contained any other Chinese herbal medicine, Qi Qi Qi couldn''t tell.


    As the faint medicinal smell faded away, there was a refreshing yet not greasy sweet taste, a taste that belonged solely to the autumn pear. As the tea flowed down his throat, his slightly dry throat suddenly felt a sense of lubrication.


    The effects of the pear paste was so shocking that it was no wonder Grandma Xu had such a weird temper. The store was also so remote, but there was still such a high level of popularity online.


    Jia Kun looked at Qi Qi''s actions of carefully savoring the wine with a thoughtful expression. When he lowered his head to pick up the cup, a glimmer flashed across his eyes. Other than himself, no one else felt anything amiss about him.


    "Grandma Xu, your pear paste is really good. I don''t know if there are any more stock, but I''d like to buy some more to drink. The weather has been dry recently, and there''s a lot of sand. My dad''s lungs aren''t feeling well, so I bought some for him to moisten his lungs."


    Qi Qi placed the teacup back on the table, then raised her head to smile sweetly at Grandma Xu who was standing to the side.


    Grandma Xu looked at Jia Kun, who had been drinking his tea with his head down, and saw that he did not have any reaction, she then opened her mouth and replied with a smile, "Miss Gao can look up to this old woman and like her pear paste. That is my good fortune, ah, I made a pot of pear paste today and filled ten bottles! Mr. Jia ordered five bottles. If Miss Gao doesn''t mind, you can take the rest. "


    There was only one reason why she did not automatically think that she was attractive. She slightly turned her head to the side to look at Jia Kun, who had not said a word since he entered the door, but Qi Qi Qi knew in her heart that Grandma Xu''s current attitude definitely had something to do with him.


    However, no matter what tricks she had up her sleeve, it was still true that she had earned a lot today. She didn''t have anything to worry about anyway, so she could accept Grandma Xu''s goodwill without having to worry about it.


    Qi Qi rolled her eyes and immediately thought of something. Since Grandma Xu had become so easy to talk to due to Jia Kun''s existence, why not take advantage of the heat and strike the iron while it was still hot? She wanted to find out if there was any possibility of cooperation with her grandma.


    "Elder, I''m particularly interested in the ancient formula left behind by the old ancestor. As I drink, I feel that Elder''s pear paste is especially delicious. Do you have some kind of ancestral formula?"


    She already knew what she was planning to do, but after looking at people for a lifetime, she knew that this little girl did not have any bad intentions, so she smiled and nodded. She did not deny it, but she did not continue on this topic.


    Qi Qi saw the expression on Grandma Xu''s face and knew that there was a way to accomplish this, but if he really wanted to do it, it would probably take some effort.


    Jia Kun, who had been standing at the side without a word, looked at Qi Seven and asked carelessly, "Does Mister Gao want to do the catering business?"


    Qi Qi Qi suddenly raised her head and looked at Jia Kun with a look of shock that she couldn''t hide. After seeing his look of interest, she didn''t pretend and openly admitted, "Yeah, dad wants to do food business online, what''s wrong? Mister Jia is also interested? "


    "Interests are alright, but Mr. Gao''s insight is quite unique. I admire you for giving up your old profession at such a young age and joining an industry that you''ve never come into contact with before."


    She didn''t immediately answer because she didn''t know how trustworthy his words were. Logically speaking, she had lived for so long in her previous life, especially after living in the business world for so many years, she still had a good eye for other people. But she really couldn''t see through Jia Kun at all.


    "Thank you, Mr. Jia, for your praise. If I could hear your praise, I would definitely be happy." She believed that there was a huge gap between the Jia family and the Gao family, and they would have very few chances of dealing with each other in the future. Since they would not meet often in the future, she did not need to spend so much time and effort trying to figure out who this person was.


    Towards Qi Qi Qi''s perfunctory reply, Jia Kun did not say much. He merely smiled and stood up. He picked up the bag that Grandma Xu had already packed and prepared to leave.


    "I still have some matters to take care of in the afternoon. I believe that Miss Gao has matters to discuss with Grandma Xu. I will take my leave first and not disturb you any further!"


    Upon hearing that Jia Kun was about to leave, Grandma Xu hastily stood up from her seat and rushed to open the door.


    Seeing that the two of them had stood up, Qi Qi Qi couldn''t sit down any longer, so she followed Grandma Xu and sent Jia Kun out of the door.


    Mr. Jia, take care. If you still need pear paste in the future, just let me know. I will prepare and send it to you as soon as possible.


    Jia Kun didn''t bother with pleasantries and only nodded at Seventh Madame and Grandma Xu respectively before taking his leave.


    When Jia Kun left, Qi Qi looked at Grandma Xu who was watching them from the doorway. She didn''t know what to say.


    She didn''t know why, but although Jia Xian hadn''t said anything back then, she felt more at ease. After he left, she felt as if she had no one to rely on. It was obvious that they weren''t familiar with each other.

 C23

    In the end, Qi Qi didn''t ask for any other information other than the pear paste she bought from Grandma Xu. But what was gratifying was that on account of Jia Kun, Grandma Xu didn''t seem to be angry with him for probing her. Instead, she promised him that as long as he needed it, she would buy the pear paste at any time.


    Seeing that he could no longer ask for other useful information, and that he had already obtained the benefits he did not expect before coming here, Qi Qi Qi was satisfied and took her leave.


    Actually, before coming to find Grandma Xu, she had already mentally prepared herself for being rejected. Compared to her expectations, the situation now was already very good.


    Even though she didn''t have a recipe, she had bought so much pear paste, at most she would have to spend more time to try it out bit by bit when she returned. Even if she couldn''t find the exact same formula, it was still possible for it to taste similar to her. She would grind it a few more times to see if she could get more information or just convince Grandma Xu to invest in a highly developed business.


    After some planning, Qi Qi returned home with a smile on her face.


    However, the moment she entered the house, she saw Gao Cheng sitting in the living room with a frown on his face, as if he was troubled by something.


    "Dad, what''s wrong? Didn''t you go to visit an old Taotie today? Why are you back so quickly? "


    Qi Qi Qi didn''t know what happened to Gao Cheng. She didn''t even have time to put away the large bag of pear paste before she sat down beside him.


    "Sigh ~ Life is so ever-changing. A few months ago, he was still so healthy, but after so long, he''s already gone!"


    Hearing Gao Cheng''s words, Qi Qi Qi also became silent. This experience, she believed no one could understand it more than her. Wasn''t her original body just like this? After happily going out to work, who would have thought that she would be smashed out of her mind downstairs in the company. After that, she even appeared in a different world of quests as a task holder.


    "Look at me, tell me everything. Oh yeah, Qi Qi, why did you run out in such a cold weather when you weren''t home to rest?" This child, ever since he woke up after surgery, he had the feeling that she had changed too much, as if she knew something, but her usual behavior didn''t seem to be the same. No matter what, he still secretly gave himself a reminder in his heart, and he had to always pay attention to his speech in the future. If this child understood something because he knew it, then he shouldn''t say anything wrong, and it would make this child sad.


    "It''s been a long time since I went out to bask in the sun, so I went for a stroll. I saw an old lady selling pear paste that was very good, so I bought some." Noticing that Gao Cheng had changed the subject, Qi Qi quickly cooperated with him. "Dad!" "You can try this pear paste later. It tastes great when I drink it, and it works very well when I drink it. Tell me, would it be very popular to sell this pear paste online?"


    Although there was distrust in his eyes, he still allowed her to go to the kitchen and brew a glass of pear paste water. After Qi Qi handed him a cup of pear paste water, he also obediently tasted the pear paste water.


    After drinking the water, his throat felt much more comfortable. He couldn''t help but widen his eyes in surprise.


    "This pear paste is good stuff, where did you find it? "If you can buy a lot of pear paste, you can put it online to try the water first. However, we have to find the formula for this pear paste first."


    Gao Cheng''s thoughts were the same as 70-70''s. If he wanted to create his own high-end brand, then he would have to grasp the formulas for all the products, whether it be for research and development or purchase, as the basis for their establishment.


    Dad, don''t worry about this, I''ve tried this old grandma selling pear paste. She doesn''t seem to want to sell it, but from what I can see, grandma seems to be very respectful to Mister Jia.


    "Mister Jia?" Gao Cheng looked at Qi Jian in confusion. He couldn''t recall anything about this person in his mind.


    Qi Qi could feel that something was wrong with Gao Cheng''s tone. Could it be that Gao Cheng didn''t know Jia Kun, but if he didn''t, why did Jia Peng send Gao Cheng to the hospital with such enthusiasm and knew their names?


    "Dad, did you forget? Mr. Jia''s full name is Jia Kun, he was the one who sent you to the hospital when there was a fire in our family, and later on you and I went to visit him, wanting to thank him for saving our lives. Qi Qi gave a detailed account of the relationship between her and Jia Kun, hoping that Gao Cheng would remember such a person as soon as possible.


    "Oh ~ ~ You''re talking about this Mister Jia!" "How could you meet Mister Jia? He''s famous for being elusive, and the Jia family''s reputation is very high, and they aren''t something a small citizen like us can get along with. According to what I''ve said, although this Pear Paste is rare, it''s not worth mentioning the Jia family because of this."


    "What!?" Was the Jia family that scary? Although Mister Jia looks cold and indifferent, but after coming into contact with him, I feel that this person has a very good upbringing. " Qi Qi Qi pretended to be confused as she looked up at Gao Cheng, in order to know more about Jia Kun. She kept having the feeling that there was something strange about him, and after coming into contact with him a few times, he always felt like he was born in a fog. If she could know a little more about him, perhaps her unfathomable feeling would fade a little.


    Gao Cheng stretched out his hand and lightly patted the head of Qi Seven, then laughed as he lectured, "Oh you, Xiao Budian, what do you know!?" The Jia family is a Wealthy Class family, and the water in it is very deep. Jia Kun is the most outstanding successor to the Jia family in this generation, think about it, in such a complicated family, for him to occupy such an important position and remain standing for so many years, his ability and shrewdness can be imagined. If you want to provoke him for such a small amount of pear paste, I''m afraid the price you have to pay would be even greater. "


    After listening to Gao Cheng''s explanation, Qi Qi Qi lowered her head to ponder for a while. Indeed, provoking such a great character for the sake of a pear paste formula was not a wise move. Moreover, he was a high and mighty person.


    Once she understood this, Qi Qi Qi quickly threw this matter to the back of her head. Although she really liked the formula of the Pear Paste, and really wanted to get it, she could look for the formula again. If she provoked someone she shouldn''t have, she wouldn''t be able to make it in time.


    In the next period of time, Qi Qi rushed into the ancient books and letters, and she spent more and more time in the kitchen. In the next period of time, Qi Qi went into the ancient books and letters, and she spent more and more time in the kitchen, and she spent much more and more time in the kitchen.


    After a period of repeated failures, finally, there were a few products that could be used. At the same time, Gao Cheng''s market research was more or less done, and the online sales platform had been decided.


    The choice of a sales platform actually had two options. One was a certain treasure market, which already had a certain scale, where the establishment of shops depended mainly on the amount of traffic and popularity that the website had attracted, and the other was the letter market, which, in contrast to a treasure market, relied mainly on the seller''s own connections and credit standing.


    The suggestion that 77 gave after a long pause was that they could mainly open stores in a certain treasure, but that they would not relax in a certain treasure. The main connections of a certain treasure were their friends, and doing business with their friends had too many drawbacks, and it was better to just position this platform as a promotional platform that did not involve any financial benefits, such as opening a public address, mainly introducing knowledge about health care, or introducing the functions of Chinese herbal medicines. The effect would be even better, but the market itself was mature, the promotion mechanism was already in place, and the mechanism for sale was already in place, so when they started operating, they could completely borrow this mature platform to reduce their workload.


    Of course, when Qi Qi made this suggestion, she didn''t use so many professional vocabulary. She had organized her experience and theories into a common shopping experience, Gao Cheng was, after all, an experienced and astute businessman, and with just a slight suggestion, he would immediately understand the logic behind it.


    Gao Cheng wasn''t the least bit surprised by her sensitivity in business and seemed to accept this skill very naturally. Perhaps in the eyes of all parents, their children were the smartest and prettiest, without any reason.


    With the perfect opening preparation, Gao Cheng''s online store attracted the attention of many customers as soon as it opened on a certain treasure. Although the initial transaction volume was not much, the more customers there were, the better marketing would be, and this was also due to the fact that Gao Cheng had invested a lot of money to buy the advertising space on the first page. After all, the aroma of alcohol was not to be underestimated, after all, this was only a small part of the product, and it still needed a good promotion.


    With the good experience of the first batch of customers and the appearance of many good reviews, such a small online store was able to gradually accumulate a large number of loyal fans. Word of mouth was always the best tool for advertising.


    After a busy day, Gao Cheng organized his sales for the whole month and was surprised to find that such a small restaurant, which had only just opened, had a month''s income for microenterprises.


    Today, there were only three full-time employees in the store. He was mainly responsible for marketing and quality control, another thirty-something year old housewife was responsible for brewing the health care ointment, and the third middle-aged uncle was responsible for packaging and delivery.


    As for Qi Qi Seven, taking into account her body, Gao Cheng didn''t let her interfere too much in business matters. He only asked her to provide some advice on the side, or when she was really busy, to help her serve as a customer service for a few hours, chat with customers on the internet, and increase their affability level.


    Opening an Internet Cafe took a lot of energy and stamina. After all, there was no time limit for customers to shop. In order to get a better grasp of the customer''s resources, Gao Cheng had to force himself to respond in time to questions in the middle of the night.


    In just a short two months, her body, which was neither sturdy nor sturdy, had clearly become thinner by a few rounds. In the eyes of Qi Qi Qi, she was also feeling very uncomfortable and conflicted; her goal was to allow Gao Cheng to live a full and blissful life, not to die from overwork too early.

 C24

    She always felt that even though the business of the internet store was doing well and it had its own special products, it still seemed a little simple and ordinary. They lacked a product, and whether it was a successful store or an enterprise, they all had to have their own soul products for inheritance. Only then would the company live a long time and have their own products, and their competition ability would be much stronger compared to their peers, making it much easier for them to do things like now.


    In Qi Qi''s heart, the most competitive kind of pear paste was none other than Grandma Xu''s pear paste. First, the cost of pear paste was much lower than that of rose paste, but the actual selling price was not that low. In Qi Qi''s heart, the most competitive kind of pear paste was definitely lower than that of Grandma Xu''s pear paste. First, the cost of pear paste was much lower than that of rose paste, but the actual selling price wasn''t much lower.


    After sorting out the thoughts and carefully adjusting his appearance, Qi Qi then took Gao Cheng, who was busy appraising the quality of his products, upstairs to the study room and solemnly handed him the proposal.


    Gao Cheng had been the leader of the company for his entire life and had seen countless plans. However, this was the first time he had received a proposal from his daughter. He felt inexplicably proud and disappointed that he had a girl growing up in his house.


    Pride is that the child has grown up, lost is the child has grown up.


    Initially, he was just trying to read the proposal with an encouraging attitude, but the more he read, the more surprised he became. This proposal of 77 did not have the immaturity and roughness of the rookie who had just formulated a plan, and on the contrary, seemed exceptionally clear. From the market''s background, operating plans, risk control, detection, and implementation of the plan were all there, and it was very detailed.


    Seeing the complete plan, Gao Cheng put it down and didn''t say anything for a long time.


    She was very clear on Gao Cheng''s shocked mood, so she did not say anything. She just quietly sat in front of him, waiting for him to make a suggestion.


    "Qi Qi, was this proposal really made by you?" Even though Gao Cheng knew that the proposal was definitely made by 77%, he still found it a little unbelievable. Such a mature and enforceable proposal really didn''t seem like it was made by a little girl without any experience in a shopping mall.


    "Dad, you don''t believe in your daughter''s abilities. You need to know that your daughter inherited the good blood of her excellent father. She was born extremely intelligent and could remember anything. One way and three ways!" Qi Qi straightened her back and pretended to be proud as she raised her chin and boasted.


    This caused Gao Cheng to let out a laugh that was immediately angered by Seventh Madame''s mischievous look. Now that the serious atmosphere had disappeared, he rolled up the proposal and lightly tapped Seventh Madame''s forehead, "You little girl, saying you''re fat and you''re breathing too much, since you have so much information on your own plan, then your dad will give you this plan to implement. Since you''re so determined to get Grandma Xu''s formula, then take out your determination and work hard to get Grandma Xu to agree to sell the formula to you."


    "Yes, Dad, don''t worry. I will definitely convince Grandma Xu to sell us the formula."


    Qi Qi walked on the stone path, her head lowered as she counted the stones on the ground. Although she appeared very confident in front of Gao Cheng, in reality, she wasn''t sure if she could convince Grandma Xu.


    The fact that Grandma Xu was able to live peacefully in this small house in the old city and was disdainfully ignored by the internet, still concocting pear paste according to her temperament and selling pear paste showed that she would not be tempted by fame and fortune. The only method she could think of was to seek Jia Peng''s help, but according to Gao Cheng''s evaluation of Jia Kun, she didn''t want to easily offend such a person who wasn''t easy to mess with.


    She was also a businessman and understood the principle of equal exchange. She had no relationship with Jia Kun, so she recklessly went to ask for his help. It was likely that she would have to pay a huge price.


    In that short stone path, Qi Qi Qi walked leisurely for nearly 15 minutes. If it wasn''t for Grandma Xu looking from afar and calling her, she probably would have had to drag on for a while longer.


    "How come Miss Gao has the time to come today? Did you finish the last pear paste? " Grandma Xu looked at Seventh Seven with a smile. The wrinkles on her face had all gathered together because of this smile. Her serious face actually had a funny look.


    "That''s right, Grandma Xu. After my dad drank your pear paste, his throat and lungs felt much better. This time, I want to buy some more. I wonder if you have any stock, grandma?"


    "Yes, yes, yes. Mister Jia told me that as long as Miss Gao comes over, there will be none left."


    "Mister Jia?" Grandma Xu''s warmth did not make Qi Qi let go of her worries. Instead, she felt somewhat uncertain.


    "That''s right. After Miss Gao left last time, Mr. Jia called her and said that Miss Gao would definitely come again to buy pear paste. At that time, I hope that I can do my best to make it convenient for you."


    Qi Qi frowned and pondered for a while before she pulled Grandma Xu and sat her down. She asked the question in her heart, "Elder, you seem to treat Mister Jia differently. Is there a reason for your actions?"


    "Mister Jia is the benefactor who saved my life. I should do anything for Mister Jia, not to mention these small matters."


    "Elder, you ¡­" Qi Qi looked at Grandma Xu with a hesitating look, but didn''t finish her sentence. Listening to the way the granny was speaking, she should have received a good education, but why was she now living alone in this small house? She had a hunch there must be a story in between, and that story had something to do with Jia Kun.


    After that, she stood up and walked into the house. With her sharp eyes, she saw that the old man had turned around, and the corners of his eyes were moist. She could not help but regret asking this question; the past must have left an indelible scar in the old man''s heart, one that could not be easily touched.


    Just as he was regretting his question, Grandma Xu came out with a bag in her hand. The bag was neatly filled with six bottles of the pear paste he needed.


    The woman handed the bag to Qi Qi and motioned for her to take out a piece of white paper that was in the bag.


    On the paper, there was a beautiful little piece of paper with the formula for the Pear Paste written on it. Qi Qi Qi couldn''t help but look at the old man in surprise.


    "Elder, this is ¡­"


    This is the formula for the Pear Paste. Ever since you first came here, I knew that you were interested in this formula, and not just to buy the Pear Paste. Since you had the heart and with Mister Jia''s instructions, I didn''t give this formula to the wrong person.


    "Elder ¡­" Faced with Grandma Xu''s generous gift, Qi Qi Qi didn''t know what to say. Before coming here, she had worried that she wouldn''t be able to get the recipe easily. She hadn''t expected that she would already get the recipe before she even opened her mouth.


    After bidding farewell to Grandma Xu, Qi Qi Qi didn''t go home immediately. Instead, she found a random caf¨¦ and sat down. She looked at the recipe in her hand and was stunned for a while.


    Suddenly, she seemed to recall something. She grabbed the backpack on the sofa, opened it up and took out her name card folder. She quickly flipped through it and found what she was looking for among the numerous business cards.


    The white card had a name and a phone number on it. Other than that, it was completely empty. This was the name card that Jia Kun gave her when they were at the hospital.


    After hesitating for a moment, Qi Qi Qi still picked up the phone and dialed the number on the business card.


    The phone was picked up after a few rings. Jia Kun''s calm and tranquil voice came from the other end, "Miss Gao?"


    Qi Qi Qi took her phone away in surprise and looked at the number on it. She wondered if she had dialed the wrong number to someone she knew.


    She remembered that she didn''t leave a number for Jia Kun. Furthermore, after the call connected, she didn''t tell him her name. How did he know it was her?


    "I am. Mister Jia, do you know my cell phone number?" Since he couldn''t figure it out, he chose to directly ask the question in his heart.


    Jia Kun''s deep laughter came from the other end of the phone, as if he was very satisfied with Qi Qi''s bluntness. "Grandma Xu called me."


    So... Did he guess she was going to call him?


    Qi Qi Jian pursed the corner of his mouth, but didn''t ask any further questions regarding this question.


    "Mister Jia, do you have time now?"


    "I didn''t invite anyone else for lunch. If Miss Gao has any business, you can come and find me at this time."


    Jia Kun''s businesslike tone calmed Qi Qi Qi down. Previously, she had been worried that he would send her kindness for no reason. Now that she thought about it, perhaps he was just a little more zealous and did her a favor at the same time.


    "Alright, if Mr. Jia doesn''t mind, I would like to treat you to a meal at noon. Thank you for your help!"


    On the other side of the phone, Jia Kun laughed again. He did not refuse and straightforwardly accepted the invitation from Qi Qi.


    It was now ten o''clock in the morning, and she still had time to go home and give the pear paste and formula to Gao Cheng. Since it was a feast of thanks, then she would naturally prepare a present, and with Jia Kun''s status and what kind of things could not be bought, she did not need to buy anything flashy on the market. Instead, she could bring some of the health cream she had developed to him, and she remembered that when she met Jia Peng at Grandma Xu''s place, he said that it was for the sake of her family''s elders.


    After finishing what he needed to do next, Qi Qi immediately stood up and left the coffee shop. She drove the car home and started preparing.


    She didn''t know what kind of food he liked, but French food was relatively safe. It was suitable for people like them who didn''t have a close relationship with each other, and it wasn''t strange for them to not get close to each other due to the environment. She still insisted on not easily provoking Jia Kun''s principles, but it wouldn''t be a bad thing if she could make him into a highly successful business partner.


    When he arrived at the restaurant he had arranged for, he found that Jia Kun was already there waiting. Under the guidance of the waiter, he slowly walked over to the window and looked out.


    She had never looked closely at his face before, and she always looked away from him either intentionally or unintentionally. Now that she looked at his face from such a distance, she could actually see a hint of divinity in his expression.

 C25

    It was an extremely restrained face. It was clearly very handsome, but when it was turned around, it made it impossible for people to recall the contours and features of his face. There was something wrong with his 77th intuition, but they could not pinpoint exactly what was wrong.


    Just as Qi Qi Qi was staring at Jia Kun, he seemed to hear the sound of their approaching footsteps. He turned his head and looked over. When he saw who it was, his lips curled up into a polite smile.


    He stood up in an elegant manner and walked to the opposite side of the table. He pulled up the chair for Qi Qi Qi and made an inviting gesture.


    He leisurely walked over. First, he gave her a grateful smile. Then, he smoothed down the hem of her long skirt and slowly sat down. In terms of social interaction, she was good at it. The only difference was whether she was willing to socialize.


    After adjusting the position of number seventy to seventy, Jia Kun sat across from her, took the menu from the waiter, and handed it to her, indicating that she should order first.


    When Qi Qi Hua looked down at the menu, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. This man''s demeanor was truly etched into her bones. There were too many people who were in high positions and liked to make decisions for others, especially when it came to ordering dishes, it was as if she was afraid that no one knew how to order dishes and only herself had taste.


    On the other hand, even though Jia Kun had the right to be arrogant, he was always considerate and considerate. Even though he didn''t intentionally expose himself, he gave others a feeling of existence that they couldn''t ignore.


    After ordering the dishes, when the waiter left to place the order, Qi Qi Seventh took the paper bag that was placed on the dining chair to the side and solemnly handed it to Jia Kun.


    Jia Kun looked at her suspiciously but still stretched out his hands to receive the paper bag.


    "This is a gift that I prepared for Mister Jia''s family. Although it isn''t anything precious, it is also a gift from me. Thank you for your selfless help."


    "Miss Gao, you''re too kind. It was just a small matter." Jia Kun said politely and did not decline.


    "Inside this is some health care ointment such as rose paste. We made it ourselves, so it''s more suitable for the elderly and women to consume. I hope Mr. Jia''s wife and elders will like it."


    Hearing this, Jia Kun slightly smiled, opened up the paper bag and took out a few beautifully wrapped glass bottles, then picked out a bottle of rose paste and gave it back to Qi Hua.


    "I''ll accept the rest, but I don''t have anyone suitable to take this rose paste. When I have a wife in the future, I''ll ask Miss Gao for more."


    "Mister Jia isn''t married yet?" Previously, Gao Cheng only said that Jia Kun''s background was very good, but he really didn''t say whether he was married or not. She was a little too self-righteous, thinking that the heirs of aristocratic families would definitely get married early due to family pressure. However, she didn''t expect that there were many exceptions in this world.


    "What is it? Do I look old? " Seemingly seeing through his vexation, Jia Kun humorously retorted. Coupled with his actions of touching his face, he naturally dispelled his embarrassment.


    "No, you are very young. To be honest, I really can''t tell how old Mister Jia is right now. It''s just that from what I know, it seems like the Wealthy Class families all prefer to get married early, so ¡­"


    "So you think I have a wife?" Jia Cheng continued with his seven or seven words. Once he finished, the two of them couldn''t help but laugh. The originally unfamiliar atmosphere suddenly became a lot more intimate.


    After the dishes were served, both Qi Qi Qi and Jia Kun quietly ate the delicacies in front of them. They did not deliberately look for a topic to talk about. Strangely, in such a silent atmosphere, the two of them actually felt at ease and did not feel uncomfortable.


    Just when Qi Qi was focusing on eating, she saw a familiar figure in the corner of her eyes. She raised her head and saw that it was Shen Ting, dressed in luxurious clothing.


    Ever since Qi Qi Qi woke up, this was the first time she saw Shen Ting Luo. She was very curious as to why the original owner couldn''t see her desire for rights and money in her cloudy eyes, such naked emotions, she believed that anyone with even a bit of social experience wouldn''t be wrong. Perhaps the original owner''s age was too young to see clearly, or perhaps she saw it clearly, but because of her desire for her mother''s love, she chose to ignore it.


    At the same time as Qi Qi Qi looked over, Shen Ting saw Qi Qi Qi, and her slightly surprised expression disappeared as soon as she saw Jia Kun sitting in front of her. She put on a loving expression, as if she was very confident that Gao Cheng wouldn''t reveal her true appearance to her.


    This was indeed the case. Gao Cheng feared that 77% of the students knew that he was not his biological daughter, which would lead them to alienate him, and 27% of the students knew that their biological mother was in such dire straits.


    "Seventh Brother, why are you here? Are you all right? "Mom has always been worried about you, but I''m also afraid of your dad ¡­" While pretending to be a loving mother, Shen Tingxiao didn''t forget to discredit her parents.


    Qi Qi Qi secretly curled her lips and quickly regained her composure. She did not stand up nor did she invite Shen Ting to sit. She only nodded slightly and said, "What a coincidence!"


    Shen Tingxiao seemed to be very unaccustomed to Qi Hua''s cold attitude, but in this kind of situation, she didn''t say much. She only awkwardly smiled and didn''t leave, still shamelessly asking, "Mister Jia knows my daughter?"


    Jia Kun looked at Seventh Seven, who was still eating with lowered eyes. When he turned his head to look at Shen Ting, his eyes were calm and indifferent. "If you have something to say, then why don''t you leave first. We won''t waste your time."


    With such obvious words, Shen Ting didn''t lift her face up. However, if you looked carefully, you could clearly see the muscles on her face twitching.


    "Not at all, not at all. However, I still have some matters to attend to, so I will take my leave!" No matter how thick-skinned Shen Tingxiao was, he couldn''t just forcefully stay under such circumstances. Although she really wanted to use this opportunity to get to know the young master of the Wealthy Class, Jia Kun.


    She turned around to look at Seventh Seven, and was about to reach out to touch her head to properly express her love for her daughter, but Seventh Seven only tilted his head to avoid her action before she let go of his hand.


    Shen Tingxiao''s hand missed its target and stopped in mid-air for a moment before clenching his fist and putting it back. He had a forced smile on his face: "This child, he''s too shy. Why is he so embarrassed to his mother?"


    The corners of Seventh Madame''s mouth curled, but she did not refute him.


    He only thought that she was having a tantrum because he hadn''t been to see her during this time. Before he left, he even explained to her in an unintentional manner, "Seventh, don''t blame Mommy for leaving you cold all this time. It''s because my body hasn''t been well after surgery and I can only get out of bed in these two days."


    Shen Tingxiao thought that after saying such words, Qi Qi would immediately change her attitude towards him and turn to care for her body. However, after waiting for a long time and not waiting for Qi Qi Qi''s concern, there was a room full of silence. She embarrassedly pulled at the corner of her mouth before she reluctantly took her leave.


    "You don''t seem to like your mother?" Jia Kun knew a bit about the Gao family''s matters, but it was someone else''s matter after all. He did not have the habit of exposing one''s privacy, so he only asked carelessly and did not expect an answer.


    Qi Qi Qi raised her head and looked at Jia Kun. Seeing the faint look on his face, he did not have that kind of annoying curiosity. Instead, it made her want to talk to him.


    "Indeed, I believe that no one would like a deceitful and hypocritical person!" After saying this, Qi Qi Qi smiled mischievously, as if she didn''t care about this at all.


    In the areas that Qi Qi Qi Qi wasn''t paying attention to, Jia Kun''s eyes flashed slightly, but they quickly returned to normal.


    After their occasional chat, just as they were about to leave, Qi Qi suddenly asked, "Mr. Jia, are you interested in my dad''s online food business?"


    After impulsively asking this question, Qi Qi Qi immediately regretted it once again. The Jia family business was doing so much, how could Jia Kun take a liking to the small business they did online?


    Mr. Gao is an entrepreneur that I admire a lot. Even though he started from scratch, with such a big change occurring in the middle, he still managed the business very well. In this era where physical commerce is squeezed by the business of the internet to the point where there is no room for survival, he is still able to maintain the business with good reputation and quality.


    "Since Mr. Jia has such a high opinion of my father, I wonder if he''s interested in becoming our investor?" Hearing Jia Kun''s answer, the small fire of hope in Qi Qi Qi''s heart burst into flames. After all, their funding was limited, and they were mainly relying on family business practices. If they wanted to expand their production, they would need to invest in them, and Jia Kun was undoubtedly the best candidate to invest in them.


    In the beginning, before they came here, Qi Qi did not even think of having any further contact with someone like Jia Kun, but for some reason, after such a meal, even though the two of them clearly did not say anything, she actually put down her guard against him. Her intuition told her that Jia Kun was not a sly person.


    Jia Kun obviously did not expect such a proposal. After a slight pause, a faint smile appeared on his face, "Personally, I''m still very interested in cooperating with Mister Gao. However, if I invest with my Jia family''s identity, I''m afraid it will be difficult."


    Jia Kun''s meaning was clear. The operation of a large scale enterprise required the cooperation of all parts of the enterprise. A successful enterprise like the Jia family naturally could not be left to Jia Kun alone to decide.


    "If there are difficulties, then ¡­"


    "It is inconvenient for the Jia family to participate in such an investment. I personally believe in the eyes of Mr. Gao and Miss Gao."


    Before Qi Qi could finish speaking, Jia Kun repeated what he had said before, and only changed the order.


    Qi Qi Qi looked at Jia Kun blankly. Due to her doubt, her immature face showed a little bit of innocence.


    "Mister Jia means that you want to invest personally?"


    "If Miss Gao doesn''t mind!"


    Jia Kun looked straight at Qi Qi 7. With a smile in his eyes, coupled with his refined appearance, he seemed to have an unspeakable charm.


    Before Qi Qi could realize this, she had already been staring at Jia Kun for a long time. After a long time, she suddenly lowered her head as if she had just awoken from a dream. Her cheeks flushed slightly red, she awkwardly cleared her throat. Then I''ll tell dad the good news and get him to come up with a plan for Mr. Jia to look over as soon as possible. "

 C26

    After returning home, Qi Qi first told Gao Cheng about the good news, but of course she concealed the part of the invitation she had given to Jia Kun, afraid that Gao Cheng would be worried. She only said that she met him at Grandma Xu''s place, and the two of them chatted along the way.


    Although it could be said to be a personal investment, as the successor of the Jia family, the personal assets that Jia Yu had were naturally considerable. Just a little was enough for them to expand their business.


    Gao Cheng didn''t think too much of it, perhaps because what Qi Qi Qi had said was too true, but after dinner, he went into the study room full of fighting spirit and said that he must come up with a perfect plan to let Jia Kun know that the investment was worth it.


    However, he was also excited that his career could start anew. When he was busy with his work, it was inevitable that his attention would be reduced by a few points, and with the addition of the fact that he had always been in good health, Gao Cheng didn''t tell him to rest as much as he did in the beginning.


    Because she knew that her time was limited, she felt that she didn''t have enough every day. She would often secretly help Gao Cheng solve some problems, paving the way for her to walk in the future. During this period of time, her body was completely overloaded, and as time passed, her body would naturally send out a warning.


    On the night that she and Jia Kun returned from dinner, 77 finished counting the sales in the store this month and made a statement analyzing the sales of each product. Just as she was about to lift her head to loosen her tensed neck muscles, she felt the sky spin and before she lost consciousness, she heard a dull thud.


    When she woke up again, she was already lying on the hospital bed. Although her consciousness was still blurry, she could feel an oxygen tube in her nose. If she had any strength left, she wanted to shake her head and sigh at Lin Daiyu''s frail body.


    However, the current her didn''t even have the strength to shake her head, and the only thing that was powerful was her own pair of eyes. She slightly rolled her eyes and looked down at her arm, only to see that it was covered in blue and purple.


    She was just about to check to see if there was anything wrong with her body when she heard someone opening the door and coming in. She didn''t have time to turn around when she heard a surprised voice behind her.


    "Seventh Brother, you''re awake!"


    Immediately followed by a flurry of footsteps, Qi Qi turned her head with difficulty, and what entered her eyes was the haggard appearance of Gao Cheng''s beard.


    "This child is scaring me to death. I already told you to take a good rest, but you had to wait so late to make the report. When can''t I make the report? Is the report as important as your body?" He was not really angry with Qi Qi 7, but he was still upset with his own carelessness. Originally, he had promised to take care of Qi 7, but now that he was busy doing business, he actually forgot about this promise.


    "Dad ¡­" Qi Qi Qi knew what Gao Cheng was thinking and that she had fainted and scared him. She wanted to open her mouth to comfort Gao Cheng, but she found that her parched throat was actually in so much pain from just one word.


    Seeing Qi Qi Jian''s uncomfortable state, Gao Cheng hurriedly grabbed the cup on the bedside table and moistened her lips with a cotton stick. "Don''t talk for now, we''ve just woken up and have to rest up. The doctor said that we can''t drink that much water yet, we can only moisten our lips bit by bit."


    As he spoke, Gao Cheng''s voice was choked with sobs. This child was so sensible that it made his heart ache. He didn''t even dare to recall the scene he saw when he opened the door to 7: 7 in the morning.


    Because of this illness, the lively young lady who was brimming with youth had become thinner and thinner every day. She would even quietly fall down in the middle of the night.


    "Dad, don''t cry, I''m fine."


    It was only when 77 Qi reached out a trembling hand to wipe away the tears that had unknowingly fallen on his face that Gao Cheng realized that he was actually crying in front of his daughter.


    He quickly stretched out his hand to wipe his face and tried to cover it up as he said, "Don''t speak nonsense. Why am I crying? It''s just that the wind has been blowing, and my eyes are too dry."


    Seeing Gao Cheng pretending to be fine, Qi Qi Qi suddenly stopped pretending. Gao Cheng was afraid that she would feel bad, so he chose not to say anything about her illness. She was afraid that Gao Cheng would be sad, so she pretended she didn''t know.


    "Dad, don''t worry, I''m not going to die yet. I have to see you succeed in your career, I want to see that high-spirited dad again, I don''t want to wait until I die, you''re fine, I don''t want you to feel bad, I don''t want ¡­"


    Gao Cheng''s lips started to tremble the moment he heard "die". The more he listened, the more he couldn''t suppress his emotions, and tears started to roll down his face. Finally, he held Seventh Brother tightly, pressing her head against his chest.


    "You heartless little girl. Why would you have the heart to say such words? My old bones should always be walking in front of you. You''re still so young, yet you still have a long road ahead of you." Gao Cheng bit his lips because he didn''t want to admit to his illness. It was unknown if he was lying to her or to himself.


    "Dad, it''s worth it to be your daughter in this life."


    Qi Qi didn''t want to ask any more questions on this matter. She knew that Gao Cheng understood everything. If he wasn''t ready to face the truth yet, then she would try her best to live on until he could accept it.


    "Qi Qi, you scared me to death. How did you get into the hospital?"


    The warmth in the ward was suddenly broken by this voice. Gao Cheng quickly wiped away the tears that kept pouring out. When he turned around, his face was already showing a guarded expression.


    This was because the person who had come was none other than Shen Ting Luo who Qi Qi Qi had just met yesterday.


    Shen Tingxiao completely ignored Gao Cheng''s angry stare and walked up to the bed, pushing him away and starting to shed tears.


    "Seventh, Seventh, what happened to you? You scared Mom to death! Yesterday, I saw that you were fine, I thought you were fine, but today, I just wanted to go see you, and I heard that you entered the hospital. You don''t even know how scared Mom was, and I don''t know how many red lights you ran on the way!"


    He moved his fingers, trying his best to retract the hand that was held by Shen Ting. However, her body was weak to begin with, and she was so agitated just now, so she had already lost energy. After retracting a few times and failing to do so, she gave up.


    Qi Qi leaned on the bed, coldly looked at Shen Ting who was crying as she played the role of a mother, not saying a word.


    After Shen Tingxiao acted for a while and realized that no one was paying attention to her, he took out a handkerchief and pretended to wipe his tears away. Her eyes looked around and she frowned when she realized that there were no flowers or fruit baskets.


    "Qi Qi, you''re already so sick, why didn''t Mister Jia come to see you?"


    Qi Qi gave a mocking smile. I knew it, with Shen Tingxiao''s useless and unprofitable personality, why would he come to see her, this useless daughter? So she was planning on doing this. It''s probably because of Jia Kun''s face that she was so passionate yesterday.


    "I''m not related to Mr. Jia in any way, why would he come to see me?"


    "Why are they neither family nor friends? Mister Jia was eating with you yesterday, and I saw that you guys were chatting and laughing with each other. It''s not that I''m talking about you, but you, ah, if you meet such a good man, you must seize this opportunity. It''s better for girls to get married as soon as possible. "


    Without waiting for a reply from Qi Qi Qi, Gao Cheng couldn''t help but pull Shen Tingxiao over and sternly ask, "What do you mean, Qi Qi Qi is already so sick? It''s enough for you to make such a ruckus by her bedside, don''t bother affecting my daughter anymore!


    At this moment, after being pulled so roughly, her heart was starting to feel angry. In addition, she had discovered the value of seventy percent of it, so naturally, she wanted to keep this daughter of hers by her side. As a result, she rolled her eyes, turned around, and forcefully pushed Gao Cheng away.


    Because he was worried about seven or seven, he didn''t get a good rest. Suddenly, he was pushed back a few steps before he managed to stand still.


    "Your daughter!? If it weren''t for you, we wouldn''t have been separated at all. You aren''t Qi Qi''s biological father at all, so tell me, why are you trying so hard to catch hold of her and not let her go? "


    "You!" Gao Cheng didn''t expect Shen Tingxiao to be this shameless. He clearly said that he wouldn''t reveal the truth to Qi Qi, but she actually revealed it so suddenly in front of Qi Qi Qi.


    Gao Cheng hurriedly turned his head to look at Seventh Madame. He was worried that if she suddenly heard this, she wouldn''t be able to take it anymore, especially since she had just woken up. Her body was weak in every aspect.


    However, out of his expectations, Qi Qi Qi''s face was calm, as if she hadn''t heard about his background just now and had only heard about it from an insignificant weather forecast. Gao Cheng quickly understood that Qi Qi already knew the truth of the matter, which was why she didn''t mention Shen Ting Luo after leaving the hospital for so long.


    "Seven!?" Even though he understood what was going on in his heart, Gao Cheng was still a little worried for her. He was afraid that she would suppress her emotions, which would be bad for her body.


    "Dad, I''m fine. I''m not blind, so I know who''s sincere and who''s faking it." Qi Qi Qi gave Gao Cheng a faint smile and gasped for breath as he said these words to ease his heart.


    Gao Cheng looked at Qi Jian, who was struggling so hard, and felt a pang in his heart. It was all his fault for being useless, which was why Qi Seventh was still unable to rest in the hospital bed.


    "Seven!" "How can you say that about mother? We used to be so happy together, I thought you understood mother''s suffering."


    If she had the strength, Qi Qi really wanted to roll her eyes at Shen Tingxiao. She still had the ability to pretend to be pitiful when things had already come to this point.


    "You two, Miss Gao seems to need some rest right now. Why don''t we go outside and have a chat so that Miss Gao can have a good rest?"


    A faint voice sounded, instantly breaking the atmosphere in the ward.

 C27

    When Shen Tingxiao heard the voice, he immediately retracted the sinister expression on his face. He turned around and smiled sweetly at Jia Kun as if he was a noble lady.


    She walked up to Qi Qi Qi and pulled at the blanket, affectionately patting her cheeks, completely ignoring her dodging movements.


    "Child, you still said that you are not close with Mister Jia. Isn''t this the reason why he has come to see you?"


    Qi Qi gently rolled her eyes. This woman was truly a perverted dragon. She could change her expression just like that. It was a pity that she wasn''t going to be the Queen of Shadows.


    "Alright, alright. Mom knows you''re shy. You rest first. I will help you greet Mr. Jia."


    After saying that, Shen Tingxiao didn''t care about Qi Hua''s reaction as he stood up and walked towards Jia Kun.


    Gao Cheng looked at this hypocritical woman. The first thing he cared about wasn''t her body, but to use her to cling onto the Jia family. He couldn''t help but feel a sense of shame, but when he looked at her pale face and her tired breathing, he forcefully swallowed his anger back down.


    What Jia Kun said was right, Qi Qi now needed to rest. Whatever it was, it would have to wait until her body was better.


    Therefore, he went forward and pulled her hand, carefully warning her not to think about anything else. He first took a good sleep, and after seeing her slight nod, he then left the ward first.


    Looking at everything that happened in the ward, Jia Kun didn''t say anything. His eyes were dark and gloomy. He looked deeply at Gao Cheng for a few moments before following him out of the ward.


    Shen Ting Luo rubbed her nose, feeling a little uneasy towards Jia Kun''s coldness. She wanted to use this girl to climb the Jia family. She didn''t want anything to go wrong and would offend the Jia family instead.


    After everyone left, the sickroom immediately became quiet. Qi Qi let out a light breath, and her eyelids drooped down powerlessly. Her body had collapsed, and no one knew how dilapidated she was now.


    If she really couldn''t do it, then she could only use spirit coins to exchange for her health first. But when she thought about the remaining 5100 spirit coins, she gritted her teeth and still didn''t harden her heart, seeing that she was almost halfway through her task, and that Gao Cheng''s career had already improved, and that she was replacing the original owner to accompany Gao Cheng, slowly resolving the misunderstanding between the father and daughter pair. As long as she could endure for another year or so, she might be able to complete her mission and go back, spending 1000 spirit coins to buy health at this time wasn''t really worth it.


    In the end, Qi Qi decided to observe again and find a chance to talk to the attending physician. If her body could still hold on until then, then she would forcefully endure. If ¡­ I''ll change it then.


    After making up his mind, Qi Qi finally truly relaxed and let his consciousness sink into deep sleep.


    At the same time, in the guest room outside the ward, the three of them sat in different chairs on the sofa. Each of them had their own thoughts, so no one said anything. The silence only made the three of them more unfamiliar.


    "* Cough *, Mr. Jia, thank you for coming to the hospital today to visit Seventh Seven. It''s just that, how did you know that Seventh Seven was hospitalized?" After a period of silence, Gao Cheng was the first to break it.


    Yesterday, Miss Gao and I talked about investing in the hospital. She said that she would discuss it with Mr. Gao after going back, so I thought that we might have gotten a result today, so I dialed Miss Gao''s number. I didn''t expect the nurse here to answer the call, saying that Miss Gao was in the hospital.


    Hearing Jia Kun''s explanation, Gao Cheng remembered that when Qi Qi brought in the first aid, all the things she brought with her seemed to have been taken away by the nurse. It was probably because of this that Jia Kun appeared here, but if it was just a normal relationship, would they have rushed to the hospital so soon after hearing of Qi Qi''s fall?


    Gao Cheng raised his head and looked suspiciously at Jia Kun''s expression. Seeing that there was no change in his expression from the beginning to the end, he only smiled and relaxed slightly.


    That''s right, although Qiqi is beautiful, her age is far different from Jia Kun. Furthermore, based on his identity and status, what kind of woman hadn''t he seen before? Perhaps this time, he came to the hospital because of his good upbringing.


    Thinking like this, Gao Cheng was completely at ease. Although he hoped that Qi Seventh was able to find a good home, with her current physical condition, she was not suitable to be associated with any wealthy family. He only hoped that she would be able to live on in peace and health.


    "Thank you for Mr. Jia''s concern. Qi Qi already told me about this matter yesterday. I also kicked out the plan last night, but ¡­" "Now that Qi Qi Qi has been hospitalized, I still hope to put more of my energy into taking care of her and cooperating with her ¡­" How could Gao Cheng not know what effect his words would have? But compared to his own business, he was more interested in the health of seventy percent.


    After Jia Kun heard Gao Cheng''s words, he just retracted the smile on his face but didn''t say anything.


    Seeing Jia Kun''s reaction, the silent Shen Tingxiao took the opportunity to speak up.


    "Mr. Jia, if the collaboration with Seventh National Male Middle School cannot be achieved, why don''t we consider working with the Shen family. Our sincerity is also very great. Furthermore, the Shen family has been in business for many years, and our products are also very competitive in terms of market impact!"


    She was very ambitious in the shopping mall, but unfortunately did not have any talent for business. Furthermore, even though the authority of the company was in her hands, the old employees of the Gao family did not take him lying down, and the Chairman of the Gao family had said nothing. In her anger, she had expelled a large number of her senior executives, and now, the Gao family had shown signs of falling in a short amount of time, so she urgently needed a rich financial backer to invest in the Gao family to help her salvage the situation.


    Jia Kun was without a doubt the best candidate. Forget about the others, just the good news of him joining the Gao Clan would be able to help her recover her lost market share.


    This was the best time for her to start on Qi Qi Qi''s side. That little girl had a deep understanding of her children''s thoughts, and as long as Jia Peng had seven or seven things in his heart, she was confident that she could convince Jia Qi to save the money for her.


    "Shen Shi?" Jia Kun did not respond to Shen Ting''s invitation. Instead, he turned his head and looked at her with a smile that was not a smile.


    Shen Tingxiao panicked by Jia Kun''s faint mocking gaze, but he still forced himself to remain calm and raised his head to look at him, "Yes, Madam Shen is the original Madame Gao. I believe Mister Jia must have heard of her. Because of some personal reasons, the Madame Gao has now been renamed to Madame Shen."


    "Oh ~ ~, I''m only interested in the Gao family when Mister Gao is in the office. As for Mrs Shen, I''m sorry ¡­" Jia Kun''s words were said without mercy, but his face still had a polite expression.


    Shen Ting Luo had a hunch that Jia Kun wasn''t someone to be trifled with, but to give up on such a big fish so easily, she was unwilling to do so no matter what.


    "Mister Jia doesn''t have to reject so quickly. Why don''t you think about it and I''ll let you see how sincere Mrs. Shen is. If Mr. Jia is interested in Mr. Qi Hua and Mr. Gao''s current business, Mrs. Shen can also consider purchasing their business for you." Shen Tingxiao confidently spoke of his idea of buying and seemed to be very confident of this. He completely ignored the expression of Gao Cheng who was present when he heard this.


    Gao Cheng fiercely glared at Shen Tingxiao, but grinded his teeth and didn''t say anything. Right now, he was not sure what 77 was thinking. If 77 still had some hope for his mother''s love, then he couldn''t fall out with Shen Tingxiao on this matter.


    He had always stuck to the principle that as long as Qi Qi Qi wanted to, he would pay any price for her. He didn''t know how long this daughter of his would live, making her happy while she was still alive, perhaps this was the only thing his father could do for her.


    Jia Kun looked at Gao Cheng, then turned his head towards Shen Ting Luo and smirked: "When I work with others, I don''t look at sincerity, but at strength. Therefore, I appreciate Lady Shen''s good intentions."


    The meaning behind his words was that the Shen family wasn''t strong enough, so he didn''t want to cooperate.


    After a while, he adjusted the expression on his face and smiled, "Mister Jia seems to be saying these words a little too early. Since Mister Jia believes in the strength of Qi Qi Qi and her father, then I will have one daughter, and in the future, the Shen family will always take over for you. I believe that as the father of Qi Qi Qi, he will unreservedly help Qi Qi. If Qi Qi Qi and her father are willing to join the Shen family, Mister Jia would be willing to reconsider cooperating.


    "Ms. Shen, are you sure Miss Gao will be the successor to the Shen family?"


    When Shen Tingxiao heard this, he was overjoyed. He believed that Jia Kun had a good impression of seventy percent. That was why he said those words when she mentioned seventy to seventy percent.


    Therefore, she hurriedly nodded her head, "Of course, Qi Qi is my daughter. If I don''t leave Lady Shen with her, who else can I leave her?"


    Gao Cheng raised his head to look at Shen Tingxiao. He didn''t believe that this woman would be so good to Qi Seventh. If she really treated Qi Seventh as her daughter, she wouldn''t have used his life to threaten him to transfer the property.


    He was about to open his mouth to remind Jia Kun, but before he could do so, he was stared at with a warning gaze by Shen Ting.


    "Can I trust Ms. Shen''s promise?"


    "Of course! Mister Jia can completely trust my character. " In order to win over this potential customer, Shen Tingxiao dared to say anything.


    "Ms. Shen, I''m a businessman. I believe in your words, there''s no proof at all. If Ms. Shen is willing to give away all the property under her name to Miss Gao, then I can consider cooperating with Ms. Shen."


    Shen Ting Luo''s heart was at a loss. It wasn''t easy for her to obtain Mrs Shen. How could she easily change her hands?


    But then she thought, this girl has leukemia. Although she had transplanted her bone marrow and received treatment for leukemia, but looking at her now, she doesn''t seem to be able to live a long life, perhaps she won''t be able to survive for more than a few years. At that time, as Qi Qi Qi''s only family member, she would naturally be able to take back the Shen family.


    I can, I can give her to Seventh Seven, but considering Seventh Seven''s current state, she still has to be under my control. In addition, this property was given to my daughter as her mother, and without my permission, she cannot give it to anyone else. After all, Seventh Seven is still young and she doesn''t know about the dangers of humans.


    The words were very nice, but if one thought carefully, it was very easy to discover that Shen Tingxiao was preparing his life for nothing. Although in name, seven out of seven ownership rights were given to her, but without her approval, seven out of seven could not be transferred to the Shen family. That was the same as having the title of having only one of the Shen family, but not getting anything in the end.


    Gao Cheng pursed his lips but did not say anything. He believed that with Jia Kun''s shrewdness, he would immediately see through the crux of the problem. If he agreed, then it would be weird.


    Contrary to Gao Cheng''s expectations, Jia Kun nodded his head and said, "Sure. Whenever Lady Shen gives Miss Gao her ownership of the Shen family, I will invest in the Shen family."


    After getting Jia Kun''s promise, Shen Tingxiao relaxed his clenched fists. She still thought that the famous heir of the Jia family was very shrewd. It seemed like he was just a foppish young lord who was overwhelmed by love. However, this was something she was happy to see. As long as she had a seven or seven control firmly in her hands, she would indirectly have a control over the Jia family.


    The smile on her face could not help but brighten up a bit when she thought of the scene of Shen Ting crying out for help in the upper class.

    Having achieved her goal, Shen Ting didn''t linger around and quickly took her leave. She was anxious to make a contract after returning and capture Jia Kun, the goldfish net.


    Gao Cheng looked at Jia Cheng, who wanted to say something, but hesitated. He had a lot of questions in his heart, but he didn''t know how to say them.


    He was also a man and had experienced love before. He knew the look in a man''s eyes when he looked at the woman he liked. Jia Kun might be interested in the 7-7, but it was definitely not love.


    Right now, he was not able to determine Jia Kun''s thoughts. How Shen Ting Luo was not related to him, he was worried that Qi 7 would be harmed in this matter.


    "Mister Gao, there''s no need to worry. I don''t have any ill intentions. As for why I''m doing this, you will understand in the future." Jia Kun turned his head towards Gao Cheng and gave a slight nod. His eyes that could see through everything seemed to see through Gao Cheng''s thoughts.


    "I don''t understand Mr. Jia''s thoughts, and I have no interest in the truth of what you said. My only hope is that any plan will not hurt 77%. This is my only request as a father."


    He could not understand why Gao Cheng and Gao Qiqi, father and daughter who were not related in blood, would be willing to give up so much for each other. In order for Gao Cheng to no longer have anything to do after her death, he dragged his sickly body and desperately tried to plan for him, while Gao Cheng was willing to give up his entire life''s work for Gao Qiong. In his opinion, this kind of sacrifice was meaningless.


    Although he did not approve of Gao Cheng''s actions, Jia Kun did not have any thoughts of persuading him. He only nodded his head and made a rare promise, "Mister Gao, please rest assured."


    Because he wanted to prepare the hospital clothes for Qi Hua, Gao Cheng took advantage of the time when he was in deep sleep to rush home. Jia Kun didn''t leave immediately, but returned to the ward.


    He gently walked to the bedside and looked at Qi Qi Qi''s sleeping face. The closed eyes blocked her bright eyes, and he remembered that there was a rare perseverance in those eyes. It was as if no matter how difficult it was, she would be able to survive on her own.


    He undoubtedly admired such a woman.


    "What did you say to my father?" Qi Qi Qi slowly opened her eyes and saw the clarity in Jia Kun''s eyes. There was no trace of the confusion that came from waking up.


    Jia Kun slightly smiled as if he wasn''t surprised, "I just made an agreement with your mother. As long as I join the Shen family, she will sign an agreement to transfer all the property under her name to you."


    Hearing this news, Qi Qi Qi didn''t feel happy at all. Instead, she frowned and looked at the indifferent Jia Kun.


    "I don''t think that our friendship is worth your help. Besides, Shen Tingxiao is not stupid, why would he sign an agreement that would not benefit her? There should be other conditions attached to the agreement."


    After sleeping for a while, Qi Qi Hua''s mental state had clearly improved. Therefore, he was not out of breath even after talking for such a long period of time.


    "Miss Gao is really smart. Miss Shen does have an attachment. She wants her to remain in charge and you cannot transfer the assets without her permission."


    "This kind of agreement is useless to me. With my body condition, I believe Mister Jia has his own guesses. As long as I die, this nominal ownership will not fall into Shen Ting''s hands." Qi Qi Qi stared at Jia Kun for a long while. Under such circumstances that she could not see any clues, she could only open her mouth to speak out the questions in her heart.


    "How could it be useless? As long as you live longer than Lady Shen, this ownership will naturally live up to its name."


    Qi Qi Qi gave a self-deprecating smile and said, "Mister Jia''s joke is quite funny!" But very quickly, she realized something and immediately turned to look at Jia Kun, "You and Shen Ting have a grudge?"


    "No, I have no grudges with Ms. Shen. I have a grudge with someone else, and I can only get more benefits from that person. As a businessman, I am naturally willing to do business that is worth nothing!"


    Qi Qi turned her head to look at the white ceiling of the hospital, and after a while, she nodded. "So that''s how it is. I hope that we can cooperate happily in the future."


    He stretched out his right hand and used his slender fingers to gently stroke the infusion tube that hung from the top of the tube. "Miss Gao, you''re really smart. If you have the chance in the future, I hope that you and Miss Gao can cooperate further."


    Qi Qi Qi turned her head and looked at Jia Kun, but there were no clues in his deep eyes. She imitated Jia Kun''s smile and said, "I hope so!"


    She had an impression of someone like Jia Kun, but because she had very little to do with the mission, the company did not provide any detailed information about him. She only knew about him because he was the successor of the Jia family, and this person seemed to have some relationship with the male owner. Other than this, she did not know much about him.


    Wait a minute, since he had a relationship with the male lead in the plot, then when he was entrusted by someone just now, was he referring to the male lead?


    Thinking of this, Qi Qi was so excited that she wanted to jump up, but she didn''t even have the strength to turn herself around. She could only suppress the excitement in her heart and slowly ponder the direction of the entire matter.


    This year, she was 16 years old, while her half-sister was not even 13 years old. Shen Ting had returned from abroad three years ago because her career abroad had failed, and she owed a debt to the male owner. She had to earn a large sum of money to be able to escape and return home.


    After three years of being together, the male lead might have already fallen for his little sister. Although she was still young, she was still a female lead, and the reputation of being a female lead couldn''t be underestimated.


    Currently, Shen Tingxiao still hasn''t discovered the value of his youngest daughter. Naturally, he hasn''t harassed her before, so the male lead didn''t kill Shen Ting.


    Qi Qi Qi remembered that the female lead was a white lotus, even if Shen Tingxiao used her time and time again, she would still easily forgive her. Then, for the male lead to teach Shen Tingxiao a lesson, in order to not arouse the female lead''s emotions, it was completely possible to use someone else''s hand.


    As for Jia Kun, he also said that he was a businessman and he was naturally willing to do things that were profitable.


    In other words, Jia Kun was her ally. As long as she obediently cooperated with him, he wouldn''t mind helping her.


    Isn''t that what happened to the contract?


    She guessed that after Jia Kun officially invested in Shen Shi, Shen Ting''s ordeal would truly begin.


    Shen Ting Luo only thought of having the Jia family''s capital to invest, and having the absolute authority to speak of the Shen family, then she could call the wind and summon the rain in the upper class society. However, she didn''t consider that when the Jia family''s capital to invest, it would also bring about the differentiation of power. Although the authority to speak is in the hands of Shen Ting, no one is a fool, only by listening to someone can they bring about true benefits.


    When that time comes, Jia Kun used the stock rights in his hands to make a move. As the person in charge of the Shen family, Shen Ting naturally had to bear the corresponding legal responsibility, and she could use illness as a reason to avoid being punished by the law. At that time, not only would Jia Kun complete the entrustment of the male lead, but he would also be given the rights to operate a well-established company like the Shen family.


    With Jia Kun''s addition, the task for Seventh National Male Middle School seemed to be very simple. All she needed to do was to lie down and rest properly in the hospital, and she could watch the task being completed little by little.


    During this period of time, Gao Cheng almost took the hospital as his home and accompanied with Qi Qi Qi to take care of him. He had almost given all of the online business to the people Jia Ruidao sent, and because he brought the formula into the Shen household, he also had a portion of the shares.


    Just as Shen Tingxiao was about to start his beautiful dream of shaking the shopping mall, Qi Hua knew that her nightmare had begun.


    Jia Kun didn''t know what was in his heart, but he had been visiting her frequently in the hospital recently. Perhaps it was to confuse her and make her believe that he was infatuated with his daughter.


    But whatever Jia Peng''s purpose was, it didn''t have any effect on Qi Qi. Usually when they were alone, Jia She would handle her own business, while Qi Qi would lie in bed, bask in the sun, look out of the window, and sometimes take a nap with her eyes half-closed.


    In her first mission, she had enjoyed wealth and prosperity as Bai Qi, but the position of the person in charge of the company was not suitable for her to sit on. For the sake of the Bai clan, she had worked hard all her life.


    As long as she obediently lay on the bed to rest, when Gao Cheng came, she would act cute in front of him, acting cute. She would slowly infiltrate into Gao Cheng''s mind that there would always be deaths, and as a result, step by step, he would be mentally prepared. When she really leaves, he would not feel unbearable in his heart.


    Recently, she discovered something very interesting. Gao Cheng seemed to be interested in this hospital''s head nurse. Every time the head nurse came over to take her temperature, she would always find that Gao Cheng''s face would turn slightly red, just like a young man in love.


    And from her observation, this head nurse didn''t seem to be completely careless. Occasionally, she would also catch the head nurse sneaking a peek at Gao Cheng.


    Since he had a concubine, if she pushed him again at the right time, the chances of it happening were still high.


    This mission, the original owner''s wish was nothing more than for Gao Cheng to be able to live on and not be crushed by her sudden death. The original owner also hoped to be able to take back what belonged to Gao Cheng from Shen Ting''s hands.


    Although with Jia Kun''s intervention, Gao Cheng might not be able to take back all of his business, but the shares in his hands were enough for him to live a comfortable life for the rest of his life. He did not need to put all of his effort into his work, and could easily live a happy life with his loved one.


    After calculating everything, Qi Qi was content to stay in the hospital. In order to give Gao Cheng and the head nurse a chance to get along, she would even intentionally suffer a little chill after her body recovered a bit. Her goal was merely to stay in the hospital for a long time before Gao Cheng returned with the beauty in his arms.


    Three months later, a large-scale embezzlement case was reported. When Shen Ting was taken away by the judicial department, she didn''t even have a clue at all. Only after being sentenced to 20 years in prison did she suddenly realize that she had been scammed by Jia Kun.


    After Gao Cheng had been rescued by the chief nurse during his illness in the year 77, the two of them walked together, as if they had been told by the head nurse. Looking at Gao Cheng''s smile, which appeared more and more every day, although his body was growing weaker and weaker, he was still genuinely happy.


    In the end, when he left, Gao Cheng was also sad, but fortunately, a few days before his wife died, she found out that she was pregnant. The arrival of his small life brought new hope to Gao Cheng.


    After Qi Qi was buried, rain began to fall down from the cemetery, and the people who had come to attend the funeral all left in succession. The cemetery once again became quiet, and after a long time, a thin and tall figure slowly walked over with a black umbrella, and a bright red Resurrection Lily in his hand. He bent over and placed the flower in front of the tombstone, and said in a soft voice, "Little girl, I look forward to meeting you again."

 C29

    She stretched out her hand and stretched it, then stood up and twisted her waist, feeling that her whole body was light and comfortable. Although the time she had lived as a Seventh Brother was very short, in this short period of time, she had deeply understood the importance of health. That feeling of being powerless in bed was really too terrifying.


    No matter how much money she had, how much power she had, without a healthy body, then money and power were meaningless. Fortunately, while she was in bed enduring the pain and suffering, she was able to carry the mission and complete it.


    When the event was done, Qi Qi Qi finally raised her head to look at the quest reward displayed on the wall. The quest this time was very simple. She had already mentally prepared herself for not having too many rewards.


    The only thing she could do was allow Gao Cheng to slowly accept the fact that she was dead. Furthermore, before her death, she had helped him arrange his marriage, allowing him to have a relatively healthy and happy family, so he wouldn''t be lonely until he was old.


    However, when Qi Qi saw the amount displayed on the wall, she was greatly shocked. This time, she had actually obtained a mission reward of 3000 spirit coins.


    Currently, she had a total of 8100 spirit coins and 1000 spirit coins worth of business skills on her account. Although she wasn''t considered rich, compared to the 100 spirit coins from the start, she was already very satisfied.


    Material stimuli were always the most direct way, and when Qi Qi Qi saw the increasing amount of spirit coins in her account, she couldn''t wait to get into the next mission. For this mission, she really wanted to puke, and to get into the next mission as soon as possible, not only would she earn spirit coins, but she would also be able to move her untouched muscles, killing two birds with one stone.


    This woman had long black hair that hung behind her back, and her face was pale without a trace of blood. Although her soul was usually bloodless, this vengeful spirit''s complexion was especially pale, and as she stared at Qi Qi Qi, her eyes were filled with weakness, pain, and deep unwillingness. In the end, she gritted her teeth and said bitterly, "I don''t need anything, as long as my son is safe and sound."


    After saying this, the vengeful spirit slowly faded away. Soon, the image of the vengeful spirit appeared on the wall before it died.


    It was only when he saw a little girl around three years old being squeezed into a corner of the carriage and wailed that Luo Qiqi finally realized that this vengeful spirit was speaking of her wish.


    She quickly straightened her back and looked at the scene on the wall.


    After looking through all the images, Qi Qi Qi finally shook her head and said, "Aiya, it''s another poor woman." At the same time that Qi Qi was sighing pitifully, she was also very worried about this mission. As a modern person, if she went to a feudal society without any human rights, would she be able to smoothly complete the mission?


    But no matter how complicated the quest environment was, since she had accepted it, she would have to go all out to solve the problem in front of her.


    Qi Qi let go of the nape of his neck and adjusted his posture, until he found a comfortable position, then closed his eyes and let his consciousness enter the mission.


    When Qi Qi Qi''s consciousness entered the mission world, the lights in her office didn''t dim as usual. The office door that hadn''t opened since the start of her first mission silently opened.


    As the door opened, a tall and thin figure stood at the doorway, one step at a time, walking towards Qi Seven who was sitting behind his desk. He stretched out his hand, and slowly approached her smooth cheek, but just as they were about to meet, he suddenly retracted his hand, and the corner of his mouth rose up slightly. Then, he turned around and very straightforwardly left her office, not forgetting to close the door before he left.


    "Esteemed wangfei, this girl is actually pregnant, are we ¡­"


    Qi Qi Qi closed her eyes and restrained her eyes from making any movement. She stealthily took in a long breath, making it so that people would not notice that she was awake.


    The room fell into silence after hearing a low voice. After a long time, a gentle female voice came out. However, the voice was completely different from the gentle voice.


    "That would be too much of a waste. It took so much effort to make this girl fall into the eyes of the prince. Keep it, I still have a use for it!"


    "Yes, wangfei is really considerate. This old servant''s vision is too shallow, all I can think about is the little favor in front of me."


    "Humph!" Let her enjoy it for a while longer, but when the West Branch is done, naturally, she will not be able to keep this. "


    Qi Qi listened attentively to the conversation between the master and his servant. Qi Qi already wanted to kick the two wicked women out, but thinking about his lowly status and the fact that his life was still in their hands, Qi Qi could only grit his teeth and endure the impulse.


    "Princess, that ¡­ Do you want to inform the king that this girl is pregnant? "


    "Of course. Just say that Seventh Seven was taught a lesson by that slut in the west yard at noon. Now that she has gotten angry, the imperial physician said that if you don''t understand the frustration in her heart, it might be dangerous for the fetus!"


    As the voice faded, Qi Qi could hear two muffled laughs.


    "In the end, it was still Princess Hua-Yang''s fault for letting these two fight to the end. In this palace, the only person who can be doted on and respected by the Prince is Princess Hua-Yang."


    Along with the flattering voice, the sound of footsteps became softer and softer.


    Qi Qi finally opened her eyes after she could not hear anything at all. She first observed her surroundings through the slit of her eyes. Seeing that there really was no one in the room, she abruptly sat up.


    She rubbed her aching arms as she thought back to the plot. At the same time, she lifted her sleeves and unintentionally looked down. Unexpectedly, her tender white arms were covered with black and blue.


    Qi Qi Qi quickly lowered her head and opened up her clothes, examining her from top to bottom. Soon after, she saw Wu Qing on her knee. From the looks of it, this injury must have been caused by her kneeling down.


    Qi Qi shook her head and sighed. This was really a fight between gods and mortals. If the two masters of this department didn''t fight, the original owner, as the East Branch disciple, would naturally be targeted by the West Branch disciple.


    The pitiful thing was that the original owner had always thought it was his backer, the princess of his benefactor. In reality, it was actually another blade hidden in the shadows.


    This was truly a dilemma between wolves in front and tigers in the back!


    Now, it should be when the original owner was just pregnant. She remembered that in the plot, the original owner must have had a period of comfort due to his pregnancy, and she didn''t know if this prince was sick or not because of it. There were so many women in the backyard, and he was already in his early thirties, but he actually didn''t have a single child under his knees, including his daughter.


    Even if it was for the sake of his son, he would still have to give up the original owner. Qiqi remembered that in the plot, the wangfei''s scheme had succeeded, and the original owner had repeatedly told him to complain to the prince about it, so when the prince was angry, he did imprison the one in the west yard for half a month. During this half month, the wangfei had sent many beauties to the prince''s side, and she had really taken away a lot of love from the west yard.


    After understanding her environment and knowing that she was not in any danger, Qi Qi finally relaxed herself. She stood up, put on the embroidered shoes on her feet before she went to bed, and slowly walked around the room.


    At this time, she had already become the seventh concubine of the prince''s house. Although she was a servant of the prince''s house who had signed the death contract, she was after all still nominally part of the prince''s confidante, and was well-liked by the prince. The prince would always stay in her room for three to four nights a month, and although it didn''t sound like much, the prince was very busy with his affairs, so he didn''t have much time in the back of the house.


    This was also the reason why the West Branch''s Pang Biao Concubine was always against her. Of course, there was also the reason why she was against Princess Hua-Yang. However, at the root of it all, being pampered was the most important.


    If it were anyone else, their tails would have perked up because of this favor. Not only was the room full of gold and silver, but there were also those given out by the prince, as well as those that were treated with filial respect by the mothers.


    He looked around the room. Apart from a few large items placed on the table, there was not a single piece of jewelry in the jewelry box. The original owner didn''t dare to stay any longer, so he handed it over to Princess Hua-Yang.


    Because of her poor family, the original owner was sold to the manor for one tael of silver. Because she was young and small, coupled with the fact that she didn''t have any background in the manor, she naturally became the plaything for the slightly nodding children. If the older children asked her to head east, she would definitely attract a beating if she went west.


    At first, she would quietly hide away and cry, but as time passed, she became numb and only hoped that she would grow up. In front of her master, she could ask for a favor and find a good citizen to marry her. It didn''t matter if the other party was ugly or lame, old or young, it was fine.


    However, the heavens did not obey her wishes. During a chance encounter in the garden, she chanced upon the god-like existence of Prince Chen.


    At that time, Prince Chen was drunk and his eyes were three times more beautiful than normal. Coupled with the fact that Huang Qiqi was born a delicate and pretty girl, although he couldn''t be considered a beauty, the Prince Chen who was used to eating big fish and big meat felt that this little girl''s beauty made him itch in his heart.


    In the past sixteen years, the biggest official she had ever seen was the mother of the steward of the Second Order. She never expected that someone would send out in the middle of the night to clean up the broken flowers, allowing her to meet the greatest lord in the Prince''s Mansion.


    Panicking, she threw down the flower basket and ran out, leaving the drunk Prince Chen with no way to catch up.


    As the saying goes, what can''t be obtained is the best. After Prince Chen had awakened from his drunken state, he still couldn''t forget about that little beauty under the moon. He only felt that her panicked gaze, the slender figure escaping in fright, was everywhere to his appetite.


    Although it was a normal occurrence that the dignified Prince actually liked the mansion''s maidservants, it was still rather unpleasant to hear about it. Thus, Prince Chen secretly ordered his trusted aides to search the entire mansion for Huang Qide, yet on the surface, they refused to reveal anything.


    However, before Prince Chen''s men could find Huang Qide, the news had already spread to the ears of the wangfei that he had caught sight of the maid who was cleaning up the broken flowers in the middle of the night. After all, the wangfei was in charge of the backyard, and it was much more convenient for her people to enter the house than it was for the prince''s trusted aides.


    Kneeling in the main hall, Huang QIqi was trembling with fear. He had always thought that if he were to run into someone important that night, he would have a bad ending tonight.


    However, contrary to Huang Qide''s expectations, when the wangfei came out, not only did she not blame him, but she personally helped him up and gently pulled her hand. When she saw the gaping wound left on her hand by the manual labor, she hastily ordered her mother to apply some good medicine on her.

 C30

    "What a pitiful child, a young one like you actually toiled your hands to such an extent!"


    Huang Qide had never been treated so well by anyone before. From the moment she could remember, she had always been trampled upon like straw and scolded. She was already used to it, but she was not used to this sort of warmth.


    Thus, when she raised her head again, her eyes were already filled with tears.


    "This silly child, does it hurt? It doesn''t matter, it will stop hurting once you apply the medicine. It''ll be fine very soon. "


    Huang Qide, who originally had a favorable impression of the wangfei because of what he had said just now, was now even more moved to tears. He was used to being indifferent and tormented, suddenly encountering concern and warmth.


    "Your name is Qi Qi, right? I heard that on the night of the ninth day of June, you had a chance encounter with the Prince in the garden? "


    Hearing this, Huang Qide couldn''t care less about being held back by the imperial concubine as he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to her, kowtowing to her with all his might. There was a loud ''bang'' sound as his head heavily hit the ground, and soon enough, the ground was stained with blood.


    "Quick, quickly pull her up. What is she doing? I didn''t say anything? "How did you become so scared?"


    When Huang Qide was pulled out, he only felt a golden light appear in front of him, but she didn''t forget to plead repeatedly, "Royal Consort, please spare me. This servant dares not do it again. This servant did not intend to offend Your Highness."


    At first, Huang Qide thought he would die for sure, she only hoped that her sincere pleas for mercy would make her death a little easier.


    She had heard from the other sons and daughters that the rules of the house were very strict. If one was not careful, they would be decapitated, and killing them with a single slash was good, but if one was to be decapitated, the flesh and blood would be splattered all over the place. However, they would not die for a short while, and would even faint from the pain.


    At that time, when she heard this, she was so scared that she had nightmares all night long. But now, when the wangfei asked her about the incident where she ran into the prince, how could she not be afraid?


    She had no one to rely on. Entering the manor at the age of three, surviving until today was truly not easy. She didn''t expect that she would still be unable to escape death today.


    "Hehehe, you silly girl, who wants you to die? "How can you be so timid and be so scared?"


    It was only when he heard her sweet laughter that he finally calmed down. She carefully raised her head and carefully looked at the wangfei''s expression. Seeing that there was a smile in her eyes, as if she really wasn''t angry, he dared to explain.


    "Please spare my life, wangfei! This servant really didn''t do it on purpose that night!"


    "Alright, you didn''t do it on purpose. I understand. Don''t worry, no one will cause trouble for you because of what happened that night. I said so. Now, you can relax, right?"


    Seeing the indifferent smile on the princess consort''s face, Huang Qide finally let go of his worries.


    "Your name is Qi Qi, right? What''s my family name? Who else is in my family? "


    Hearing the question from Princess Hua-Yang, Qi Qi didn''t dare to think too much into it. She poured out beans like she was pouring beans and made herself completely honest with herself.


    "This servant''s surname was originally Huang, and was ranked seventh in the family. Thus, my parents called me ''77th'', because the family was so poor that they couldn''t keep the pot boiling, and this servant''s parents sold this servant to the palace. After this servant entered the palace, I didn''t contact my parents, and I don''t know how they are doing nowadays. I only hope to see them again in this life! "


    When he finished, Qi Qi didn''t dare to raise her head to look at the wangfei. She could only lower her head and wait for further questioning. She knew that after the wangfei asked about her background, there must be more to come.


    Sure enough, the princess didn''t wait for too long before she asked, "Does Seventh Madame have anyone she likes in the estate?"


    Hearing this question, Huang Qide jumped up in fright. He unconsciously lifted his head to look at the wangfei in front of him with a face full of shock. Available... But she didn''t want to marry a boy! I just want to marry a good citizen! Should she open her mouth to reject the princess consort? But if she refused, would the wangfei punish her?


    "Princess, no, no, servant ¡­" This servant has a plan outside the residence ¡­ by... "From the person." When he thought of how the wangfei could easily match him to a servant, and how he would be a servant for the rest of his life, and how life and death were not his hands, Huang Qide trembled in fear. The intense fear made Huang Qide choose to lie.


    The corner of Lady Zhang''s mouth raised slightly. She picked a grape from the fruit plate and peeled it slowly. Watching the purple skin on the grape peel off layer by layer, the smile became even wider.


    A grape was completely peeled off, but Lady Zhang didn''t eat it. She dabbed Pill Kou''s finger with it and gently pinched the sparkling grape in front of her eyes to carefully examine it. After a long while, she suddenly threw the peeled off grape back onto the fruit plate.


    "Is that so? I heard from mother Sun that you entered the prince''s mansion when you were three years old. You already have someone you like at such a young age? "


    "Yes ¡­" This is the baby''s kiss this servant''s father set up for me since I was young. " Since he had already told a lie, it would be much easier to continue lying. In Huang Qide''s entire life, his greatest wish was to leave his slave and return to being a good citizen. At this point, he had no time to worry about what he should do if his lies were to be seen through.


    "Oh ~ ~ is that so? "As far as I know, you signed a death contract. Then, wouldn''t that mean that your fiance outside the residence has no wife to marry?"


    "Your servant, your servant is trying to save money. After saving enough to redeem myself, I hope that master can grant me a favor so that I can go out and see my parents and old friends again."


    Mrs. Zhang narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the young girl kneeling down below with a face full of eagerness. She didn''t seem to be in love with the prosperity of the mansion at all. Only then did she hand over the spotlessly white Juan Pa, which she had been slowly wiping, to her mother, who was waiting by the side.


    "Get up, I''ll just ask casually. Look at how scared you are, since you have the heart to leave, then you should stay by my side and wait on me. You should save the money as soon as possible and leave the house so that your parents and your unmarried couple won''t be anxiously waiting for you."


    When Huang Qide heard Lady Zhang''s words, he did not have the time to test the tears that welled up from the corners of his eyes. He suddenly raised his head to see if what she said was true, only when he heard his mother''s deliberate coughing did he realize how rude his actions were. She hurriedly lowered her head, but her face was already filled with fear.


    Mrs Zhang was very satisfied with Huang Qide''s reaction. Not only did she not blame him for his rudeness, but instead she slowly walked over and extended a hand to help her up.


    "Since you''ve come with me, I''ll have to change out of this outfit. Mama Sun, take seventy percent of the time to change clothes and teach the rules. After that, come back and serve me. I like this girl very much."


    Huang Qide didn''t know that what she said was true, or false, but in her heart, she had already decided that the wangfei was a kind person.


    He followed his mother to a small house in the west side of the main house. Looking at the room that was much larger and brighter than his old residence, Huang Qide''s eyes were filled with tears of excitement. He gripped his sleeves tightly, not daring to believe that all of this was real.


    Before coming to see the wangfei, she had already planned for the worst. But she hadn''t thought that this wouldn''t be a disaster; it would be such a pleasant surprise.


    "Since you''ve already called seventy percent of those names for so many years, you should just continue calling me that from now on." Sun Yiyi''s mother smiled as she instructed the little girl to make the bed for Qi Qi, while she pulled Qi Qi to sit at the Eight Immortals Table in the middle of the room.


    Do not forget about the favor the wangfei has given you. Do things for her wholeheartedly, not to mention leaving the house for her, even if it''s a gold-silver pearl hairpin, if she''s happy, she can reward you with it. When you''re young, accumulate more gold and silver.


    Seeing Huang Qide''s face turn red from embarrassment, his mother laughed and left the room. However, no one saw the taunting smirk on his mother''s face as she left the room.


    From then on, Huang Qishao lived in the estate, becoming a legend among the servants of the estate. A rootless and low-class little girl had unexpectedly become a popular person in front of the imperial concubine just because of a chance encounter with a garden garden garden garden.


    Under the Zhang Clan''s deliberate arrangements, Huang QIqi had been living in the courtyard for a month, yet she had never once taken a photo with Prince Chen. Huang Qide didn''t think that there was anything wrong with that. She never thought that she would enter the eyes of the Prince. She thought that the events of that night had long been overturned.


    However, she would''ve never thought that beneath this calm surface, the waves would already be surging violently.


    She took advantage of the moment when Prince Chen was still drunk and had yet to get drunk to deliberately switch places with Huang QIong. After a month of Zhang''s tutelage, Huang QIqian had long been reborn, and seeing that even though Prince Chen was still a bit timid, he no longer had the same panicked expression as before.


    He narrowed his eyes and smiled as he looked at the beauty in front of him pouring wine and food for him. He was secretly happy that his consort was sensible and knew that he had found this little girl by herself before he even opened his mouth. Not only that, she had even taught him to deliver the wine to his mouth.


    When Huang Qide was grabbed by Prince Chen, she hurriedly turned her head to look at Lady Zhang, but there was no sign of her.


    Just as she mustered up the courage to break free from Prince Chen''s hold, she smelled a fragrance drifting over from an unknown place. Her originally clear consciousness gradually became blurry.


    When Huang Qide woke up again, the raw rice had long been cooked into cooked rice. She hugged the blanket and sat on the bed, staring blankly at the floor, tears streaming down her face. Her life had been ruined, she had lost her innocence.


    Just as Huang Qide was about to finish everything, the door to the room that had been tightly shut was pushed open from the outside. She looked up blankly as she saw Sun Qiqi''s mother slowly walk in, carrying a basin of hot water with a smile on her face.


    Seeing this familiar figure, Huang Qide''s tears began to fall even more violently. She had never expected that everything that had happened today could have been caused by this person in front of her.


    "Mother Sun ~ ~ ~"


    "Look at you, girl. What are you crying for. This is such a good thing, don''t let your happiness end like this!"


    Hearing Sun Yiyi''s words, Huang Qide and Huang Qide were stupefied. What were these words? What did she mean by ''this is the biggest blessing''? She was just a servant, how could she still have a life to live if she had a relationship with the prince? Even if they could live, who would dare to take a woman that the Prince had once wanted?


    She knew that she did not have the ability to protect her life in this mansion. She did not want to be a superior person, and even more so, she did not want to be trampled on and humiliated by others. She only wanted to live well and live with a little bit of dignity. Everything was gone. Everything was gone.


    The more he thought of this, the more despair he felt in his heart.


    Sun Yiyi''s mother stared fixedly at Huang Qide, taking in all of her emotions. She sneered in her heart, but there was no hint of disdain on her face.


    "Sigh ~ ~ Stupid girl, if you have anything you can''t understand, feel free to tell your mother, your mother will tell you."


    It was always easy for people to be moved by gentle words when they were in pain. She buried her head deep in her mother''s bosom. Because of this action, she had missed the look of disdain on her mother''s face.

    "Mother Sun ~ ~"


    "Qiqi, you have to open up a bit. Since it''s already like this, why don''t you find yourself a noble identity? The wangfei knows about this this this morning and doesn''t blame you for it. You can stay here and serve the prince in peace!"


    "Princess!" When Huang Qide heard his mother''s words about the wangfei, he suddenly remembered that she was currently in the wangfei''s inner chamber. If she had a quarrel with the wangfei here last night, could the wangfei still spare her? Moreover, when she was pouring wine for the prince yesterday, the wangfei was clearly still there.


    "Sigh ~ ~ ~ It''s my fault, last night, something happened in the inner courtyard, so I was afraid that I might disturb the prince''s mood, so I just signalled to the princess from outside." Ah ~ ~ It''s my fault, it''s my fault, last night, something happened in the inner courtyard, I was afraid that I might disturb the prince''s mood, so I didn''t dare to disturb the prince''s, so I just signalled to the princess, outside the door. When Princess Hua-Yang returned, the lights in the room had already been turned off. Afraid of disturbing her master''s sleep, Princess Hua-Yang decided to take a nap in the east room. She didn''t expect to hear that Prince had accepted your message the moment she woke up. "


    After giving a detailed explanation of last night''s events, Sun Yiyi''s mother pretended to let out a long sigh. Her goal was to make Huang Qide and his imperial concubine feel guilty.


    "I... "I ¡­" Huang Qide wasn''t a person who was good at speaking, so he didn''t know what to say.


    "Rest assured, the wangfei knows that you were also forced to do so and does not blame you. In the morning, the wangfei even told the old servant that the girl Qi Qi Qi was also pitiful and that the fiance outside the mansion might not be able to wait for her, but since things have come to this point, it''s better not to think about those lost things and think about how to survive in the mansion. The wangfei is fine, but the wangfei from the west courtyard might not let it go easily.


    Sun Yiyi''s mother was a shrewd person who had lived for a long time. She knew when to say the most effective words.


    Sure enough, as soon as these words left his mouth, Huang Qide''s heart was moved and filled with guilt. In the past month, she had served by the imperial concubine, and she knew clearly in her heart that even though the imperial concubine didn''t say anything about the prince, she still held him in high regard. Every time the imperial concubine stayed at night, the imperial concubine would not be able to sleep at all.


    The wangfei was the only person in this mansion who was good to her. If wangfei had anything she could use, she would naturally be happy to have her head smeared across the ground.


    I don''t have a fiance in the outside world, but I didn''t want to be a slave for life. I wanted to marry a good citizen one day, so that my children wouldn''t be like me, who would be a servant for the rest of my life.


    Sun Yiyi''s mother would never have thought that such an honest, timid little girl would dare lie in front of an imperial concubine and even successfully deceive them. However, after hearing the reason Huang Qiqi gave, her heart couldn''t help but soften; she had also served as a slave for her entire life, so she understood his insistence. However, since the imperial concubine was her master, there was no reason for her to go against his orders just for the sake of a little girl like him.


    Sun Yiyi''s mother frowned, but when she thought of the methods of the Jiang Clan, she retracted her plan of scheming for Qi Qi Qi. If this was to be blamed, then it was her fault for not being able to sleep well in the middle of the night. She had to go to the garden to clean up the broken flowers, but the prince had caught a glimpse of her.


    After Sun Yiyi''s mother''s exhortation, especially after hearing her mother say that if she could be a good concubine for the prince and open up a new branch for him in the future, not only would her children not be servants, but they would also be nobles, which would achieve her goal of leaving the palace. Moreover, she would find someone to marry outside and be comfortable, and with the protection of an imperial concubine and the love of a prince, her children would be much better than those children who had lived in the common people''s homes.


    Qi Qi thought over what her mother had said before looking up at her with a face full of love. In her heart, she felt more confident about her mother''s image of a beautiful future, and felt that it was indeed the consideration made for her by the two of them. Now that she had obtained such a great advantage, she naturally had to stay close to the princess and help her solve her worries.


    Prince Chen had gotten the beauty he had been looking for, and it was truly fresh for a while. But no matter how fresh it was, it couldn''t beat this garden full of wondrous flowers. In less than a month, Prince Chen''s fondness of Seventh Year slowly faded, becoming more and more frequent as he went to the west yard.


    She could wake up in the middle of the night, but when she thought about it, a silly girl like Huang Qide really couldn''t find a second one in this world. Rather than finding someone who was disobedient and had the ambition to re-hook the Prince''s heart and get out of her control, she might as well teach this girl a little, attracting the attention of the Prince once again.


    She had been married to the Prince for almost ten years now, but she still hadn''t given birth to a son. Fortunately, there was no news from other women in the backyard, so she was barely able to keep her main wife''s position, but at her age, it would be incredibly difficult for her to get pregnant. However, if that little demon from the West District were to beat her, then what kind of status would she have in the Prince''s Mansion in the future?


    As long as she could have a son, it would be easy for her to get rid of that little girl. At that time, the Prince would only have one son, and if he kept her under his name, he would naturally respect her.


    She had spent a lot of effort in order to let Huang Qiqi return to the prince''s care as soon as possible. Since she was old, no matter how much she dressed up, she couldn''t hide the traces of time, but Huang Qide was still young, and his delicate skin gave off a youthful aura when it came to dressing up. Prince Chen had originally seen it clearly because of her young and bashful nature.


    Since this was what the Prince loved, she decided to teach Huang Qide what he liked.


    After several months of closed-door training, when Huang Qide reappeared in front of everyone''s eyes, it really was as if he had been reborn. The only similarity was that the original feeling he had was blue and astringent, and when Prince Chen saw it, he was truly moved. He recalled how this little woman had fled under the moonlight when they first met, and he couldn''t help but feel an itch in his heart.


    This was also the reason for Huang Qide''s pregnancy. If not for the Jiang Clan''s schemes and support, based on her background, she wouldn''t have been able to conceive a child in the backyard.


    Now that Huang Qide had a child, his fighting spirit had grown to an unprecedented level. Under the Jiang Clan''s urging, he firmly believed that all the women in the backyard were his potential enemies, and from time to time, he would drug them in front of Prince Chen and deny that they were the ones to have the upper hand. He would think of ways to make himself childless, and in this Prince''s Mansion, other than the Jiang Clan to protect her, even the Prince could not be trusted.


    Her long period of suspicion caused Huang Qide''s body to gradually grow thinner and thinner. Even if he continued to supplement her body, it was only her stomach that was shockingly big, but she herself did not have the slightest bit of a pregnant woman''s plumpness. She was originally just a delicate and pretty girl, able to catch the eyes of the Prince.


    The reason why she could still visit him regularly every day was because of the children. But even with the children around, Prince Chen''s patience was wearing thin, no man would like to see a frown all day, either complain about that look or the look of a grudging wife, and there was no proof at all for these complaints.


    After a long time passed, Prince Chen had lost heart for Huang Qide, but when he thought back, he only called for the Imperial Physician to pay attention to the situation of the child. In Prince Chen''s heart, the current value of Huang Qide was whether or not he could successfully bear children.


    Every time she came, she would smile and patiently listen to Huang Qishao confide in his worries and troubles. The more frequent wangfei came, the more Huang Qishao felt that in the entire estate, only Wangfei truly cared for him.


    She was not a vain person, so she naturally did not think that she was worthy of being proud of being Prince Chen''s concubine. The reason why she was willing to serve Prince Chen to the best of her ability was simply to let her son leave his servant status, and also because she wanted to help the imperial concubine by the side so that she could repay the favor of the imperial concubine.


    At first, he was afraid that she would become pregnant, but now, he no longer took her seriously. Sometimes, if he bumped into her, he would mock her for a bit, and if it was someone else, they would mock her on the basis of their belly, but she was not a good person to talk to, so she swallowed her anger. As time passed, her heart began to grow heavy, and when the time came, her thin skin and bones were already covered.


    From the start, she had never thought of taking care of Huang Qide''s body, as long as the child could be healthy and given birth, that was fine, because even if she took care of Huang Qide''s body now, when the child was born, she would still have to go to the mother to save the child. If taking care of the mother was not a waste, then if it affected the birth of the child, then it would be a completely different matter.

 C32

    Only when the Jiang clan found out from the imperial physician that there was a way to cut open the abdomen to obtain a child even if there was danger, did they calm their hearts.


    In the end, the Jiang clan was worried that if the child was given birth too long, it would have an impact on the child. Even though the imperial physician indicated that they could look for another method, they still insisted that the child was the only son of Prince Chen and he had already lost interest in her. Naturally, he agreed, and when the child was safely born, he died because of excessive blood loss.


    The story did not end because of Huang Qide''s death. Because Huang Qide was worried about the child that had just been born, a wisp of his soul remained at the Duke''s Mansion, unwilling to leave. The past few months she had been floating in the air in a muddled state, as if there were a lot of things that she had seen, but not in her own mind.


    But there was one thing that she remembered very clearly, she remembered that after she died, the wangfei seemed to have found evidence to prove that her death was not simple, and that was because of the side concubine of the West Branch. No matter how much Prince Chen liked that one, he could not show favoritism towards her under the influence of so many witnesses and materials, and on top of that, during Huang Qiqi''s pregnancy, the wangfei had found many beauties to present to Prince Chen.


    At this moment, the wangfei held his only son and wailed that she would seek justice for Huang Qide. Just for the sake of his only son, he had to express his stance.


    Thus, Prince Chen had reduced the position of the man from the West Branch and banned him from taking a post.


    Only at such a young age would he be happy to have such a noble son. Prince Chen had everything he needed right now, and since his son''s name was in the name of the imperial concubine, he came to the main courtyard for no reason. Only after so many years did the imperial concubine finally have a sole favor.


    In the beginning, this child was single, so whether it was the prince or the wangfei, they both held him in high regard. The wangfei didn''t really love this child, she only felt that this child was beneficial to her consolidating her position.


    Huang Qide was wandering around the palace and saw that his son was living a good life. Although he had heard many secrets of the imperial concubine and knew in his heart that the imperial concubine was a good person, he still thought that his son still needed her protection, so he didn''t have any thoughts of pursuing the matter.


    Only after three years had passed did Huang Qide begin to feel a faint sense of unease. In these few years, she had become more and more familiar with the character of the wangfei, especially in the middle of the night when there was no one around. Listening to her mother and wangfei discussing how to frame their newly favoured concubine in the backyard, she couldn''t help but worry.


    At the start, Princess Huang didn''t know if she was carrying a woman or a man, and she still felt some affection and affection for Huang Qide''s son. However, as her own son was born, she began to dislike him more and more, thinking that this eldest son of hers was obstructing her son''s path.


    But Prince Chen liked this eldest son of his very much. He believed that this eldest son had brought him the fate of a child, so after so many years, the princess had finally gotten pregnant.


    Jiang Wangfei didn''t dare to blatantly frame Prince Chen, so under the suggestion of Sun Yiyi''s mother, she took the method of praising and killing.


    Moreover, when she died, she was still a fool, so she did not have a single trace of grievance. Being able to stay in the mortal world was only because of a worry, and under the impact of so many years of yang energy, not to mention being unable to maintain her soul, she did not even have the power to maintain her stability. Now, seeing her own son being slaughtered by the wangfei day after day, getting more and more reckless, in her heart, she could do nothing.


    She had tried thousands of times to enter a dream to remind her son, but because of her low magic power, she couldn''t even approach the human body, much less enter a dream.


    As Jiang Wangfei''s son progressed, Huang QIqi''s son became more and more notorious in the capital. Initially, the prince liked to tolerate this son of his, but as he listened to so much gossip outside, he gradually lost his patience.


    Seeing that the time was ripe, the Jiang Clan secretly arranged for a beautiful actress to appear in the busy city and then have someone lead Huang Qiqi''s son there. In addition, they also had another famous playboy from the capital go there with them.


    Because Huang Qide''s soul was weak, he couldn''t leave the palace. She knew all the schemes, but she could only do what she wanted; nothing could stop her.


    While she was extremely anxious, she was waiting in the shadow of the prince''s mansion, hoping that her son would return safely. In the end, the only one waiting for her was a son covered in blood, and the servants of the prince''s mansion hurriedly called for the imperial physician.


    For the first time, hatred welled up in Huang Qide''s heart, but no matter how low her level of cultivation was, no matter how much resentment she had, she was unable to fully cultivate. Yet, there was no way she could force her to give up and return to the Underworld, so she went looking for Yuanling, hoping to use the power of Yuanling to save her son''s life. She had no other requests, she only hoped that her only bloodline could live on in peace, and whether or not she could inherit the throne didn''t matter, the most important thing was that anyone who wanted her son''s life, she wouldn''t allow them.


    He clearly knew that the wangfei was not a good person, and even his own son was killed by her, yet he did not have any thoughts of revenge. His only wish was to let his son be safe, but she had forgotten. She wanted her son to be safe, but would the wangfei Jiang allow it?


    Prince Chen didn''t really care about the affairs of the inner mansion, he only believed that men cared about the power struggles of the outer mansion. The inner mansion only had the function of relaxing their emotions, and the role of a heir continued, so he didn''t care about how the women of the rear mansion schemed against him. As long as it didn''t affect his reputation outside, he would happily watch these women fight for his jealousy.


    As for the imperial concubine, the Jiang clan, because of her age, what she really cared about was not the favor of Prince Chen. What she cared about was her absolute authority in the backyard, otherwise, she wouldn''t have sent all the beauties to Prince Chen''s bed in order to consolidate her position.


    The reason she had shown so much affection towards Prince Chen in front of Huang Qide was simply to convince him that she was a good person and that all her plans were for the love of the Prince, with no ulterior motives.


    It was as if in the name of love, any mistake could be forgiven, and the truth was the same. In the years Huang Qide had worked for Chen Wangfei, wasn''t it because of the name of love? Although he sometimes felt that Wangfei''s methods were a bit excessive, he didn''t doubt her character at all? In fact, because she wanted to repay this favor, no matter what request Jiang Wangfei made, she would fulfill it without any wariness.


    It was only when Huang Qide had become a part of his soul and saw what his wife did, not only in public but also in private, that he was able to see her true appearance.


    The only one who had caused the Jiang Dynasty''s fear was the secondary wife of the West Branch, Huang Qide''s status was low, and the chances of him being in direct contact with the secondary wife of the West Branch were very limited. The only few times he came in contact with her, he only saw a blurry silhouette from afar, and before she could react, he was ordered to kneel down.


    She was, after all, a servant born as a concubine. She did not feel wronged after being punished by her master, but because of Wang Concubine''s orders, she still had to put on an appearance of a delicate, wronged little girl. Afterwards, she also went to complain to Prince Chen.


    It was said that the only reason why she had married into the prince''s mansion was because she had a proud temperament and had been schemed against. She did not wish to enter the prince''s mansion, nor did she have the heart to please his highness, making her a dejected person, so even though Prince Chen liked her appearance, he was often angered by his haughty personality. That was why he gave the other women in the backyard the opportunity to compete for his favor.


    Thinking of such a character, the corners of Qi Qi Qi''s mouth curved up in a smile. It seemed like she had found her way out of this predicament.


    Every time, his strength was neither painful nor itchy. Even if he cried in front of the prince and had Prince Chen ban his foot, who knew if he would care about that or not. Maybe he was happy because of a quiet opportunity.


    It would be a little too difficult for her to have a child in peace, so that the wangfei wouldn''t have the ability to leave a mother behind and use her status and appearance to seduce Prince Chen so that he would take care of her and protect her. Moreover, she didn''t want to sell her looks to seduce a person she didn''t really like, so she decided to start with this wangfei and let her fight with the Jiang clan.


    Of course, she wouldn''t place all her hopes on someone else. This would be too passive, and she could prepare a way out for herself while the two of them were fighting.


    First, she had to let the two fight.


    After making up her mind, Qi Qi didn''t waste any more of her brain cells. She called out to the servants who were waiting outside to prepare a good table of food, and it had been several hours since she had woken up. The sky had already darkened, and it was time for her to eat.


    She had never eaten such an exquisite dish before. For the first time in her mission, she came from a rich and powerful family, so the food she ate was pretty good, but how could modern people care about the taste of the dishes? The dishes in the mansion had already been lost since the day they arrived, so she had managed to get some benefits this time.

 C33

    After they finished eating and drinking their fill, Qi Qi was preparing to bathe and change clothes, but Prince Chen had already heard about her pregnancy. Accompanied by the Jiang Clan, a group of people majestically arrived.


    Only then did she straighten her skirt and pretend to be delicate as she went out to welcome him. Although she did not want to get the love of Prince Chen, she did not want to annoy him in the past, as he was the biggest boss of this palace. Now that she was pregnant, she had a fair and square reason to refuse his request.


    "Your humble servant welcomes the prince and princess!" Qi Qi Qi saw that Prince Chen had approached her and slightly bent down to bow. She was sure that Prince Chen was such a rare son that he wouldn''t let her keep bowing for long.


    Sure enough, as soon as she made a move, Prince Chen took a few steps forward, holding onto Qi Qi Qi''s elbow and said, "Exempt from the formalities. Exempt from the formalities, you have two bodies, but you cannot be careless.


    Prince Chen''s last words were directed at the Jiang Clan. After all, the inner court was controlled by the Jiang Clan. He still had to give her the necessary respect.


    Qi Qi raised her eyes and saw the smile on the Jiang Clan''s face freeze. Only then did she take the opportunity to stand up and give a gentle smile to Prince Chen. She immediately lowered her head, blushing.


    "I thank the prince for his kindness, but I''m afraid it would be impolite to do so."


    What disrespect is this? This King has looked forward to seeing his son for so many years, and now that he is born in your stomach, Seventh Brother has made a great contribution. This King will reward you well, tell me what you want, as long as you can say it, This King will reward you with everything you have, hahaha! "


    In the past, his colleagues in the court all secretly ridiculed him for not having a son, but it was a pity that there was not a single woman in the house. Even if he was angry, he could not refute it even if he wanted to vomit blood, but now, he could slap their faces in front of them. Who said that he could not have a son, in the past, it was all because of his luck that the women he brought to the backyard were useless, what did he care?


    "Being able to give birth to half a child for the prince is already a blessing of seventy to seventy lives. How could I dare to ask for any other rewards? My lord, please don''t kill me!" After he finished speaking, Qi Qi Qi glared coquettishly at Prince Chen.


    This usually beautiful young woman suddenly had such a gorgeous look. Prince Chen was truly stunned. When he came back to his senses, he couldn''t help but feel a bit more fond of her.


    "Hahahaha, well said, but you don''t want it, so this duke cannot be stingy. Tonight is already late, so tomorrow morning, seventy seven shall wait for this duke''s surprise for you!"


    She tightly clenched the delicate, embroidered handkerchief in her hand. For the first time, she suspected that she might have led a wolf into this room, but when she thought back to how she usually acted, she felt that it was impossible for her to misjudge this person. Could it be that once she became pregnant, this little girl had some sort of strange intention? That won''t do, she had to find a chance to suppress her.


    Not waiting for the Jiang clan to think about it further, Prince Chen, who was already seated next to the Eight Immortals Table in the room, called out to her.


    The weather is getting colder. If you bring in food from the big kitchen, I''m afraid it will be too cold and your body will not feel comfortable, so you might as well set up a small kitchen in this small yard. This way, the child can be greedy and eat in time.


    As soon as Prince Chen took his seat, he gave the orders to the Jiang Clan who had just entered the room. In the end, he actually wanted to directly go beyond his current status and set up a small kitchen.


    At the beginning, the Jiang Clan was still able to agree with a smile, but after hearing up to this point, they couldn''t maintain a smile on their face anymore.


    "My prince, isn''t this breaking the rules? There''s only a small kitchen in the mansion with concubines, but there isn''t even a kitchen with Consort Xu?" "Qiqi has always been by my side. I naturally understand the Prince''s painstaking efforts, and I also feel that after seven to seven times of being pregnant, he must have worked hard. Can little sister ¡­" The Jiang clan raised their head to look at Prince Chen, their eyes full of hesitation and awkwardness. Then, they continued, "Today, the reason why 77% of the girls fainted was also because they had bumped into each other in the back garden. Little sister Xu was so angry that 77% of them had not saluted in time.


    He understood the character of the Xu family, and that they were not a person to be trifled with. That fiery character was extremely to his liking, and he also needed the backing of the Xu family to support him. For such a small matter, it was unnecessary for both sides to be in an awkward position.


    "Cough ¡­" Hearing you say this, this rule is not so easily broken. Then I''ll have to trouble you, my beloved concubine, to take care of seven or seven more. If there''s anything you need, just go to the warehouse and take it from me. "


    Initially, the purpose of the Jiang Clan''s words was to dispel Prince Chen''s plans to set up a small kitchen for Qi Qi 7 and also to apply ointment for that slut in the West District. However, when they heard that Prince Chen had actually dispelled his thoughts so easily because he was wary of the West District, a strong sense of jealousy and hatred rose up in their hearts.


    What''s so good about that b * tch from the West District? Did the prince have to be so afraid of her? If she didn''t make use of the great opportunity to get pregnant and suppress this slut''s aura, then when this slut became pregnant, wouldn''t she have to give up her position as an imperial concubine?!


    The more the Jiang Clan thought about it, the more upset they felt. Taking advantage of Prince Chen lowering his head while drinking his tea, she secretly gave Seventh Seven a look.


    After Qi Hua received the message, his eyes shined. He lowered his head to cover the smile on his face before raising his head again. With tears streaming down his face, he pulled Prince Chen''s sleeve and said pitifully:


    "Your highness, in the future, can you allow me to go to the back garden to relax? Your highness doesn''t know, but the flowers in the back garden are extremely beautiful, and when I see them, I feel extremely comfortable." Your highness, in the future, can you allow me to go to the back garden to relax, and your highness doesn''t know, because the flowers in the back garden are extremely beautiful.


    This sentence from the servant nearly made her puke, but she still endured the goosebumps all over her body, coquettishly pleading in a soft tone ¡­


    "Qiqi can go if she wants to, who else can stop you? Pass my message, if she wants to go to the back garden in the future, nobody can stop her."


    "But, but, today Xu Sanguan said how precious and rare the flowers and trees in the back garden are, it''s not something a lowly person like me can look at, he even said ¡­" "And you''re saying ¡­" Qi Qi seven looked like she wanted to speak, but stopped. The fingers holding onto Prince Chen''s sleeve tightened up a bit, completely in a state of extreme fear.


    "What else?" Prince Chen''s eyebrows slowly rose. As long as the Xu family''s arrogance was within his tolerance, he was naturally willing to give her face. But if she was too arrogant, it wasn''t something he was happy to see.


    He seemed to have made up his mind. "He also said that for a lowly person like me, even if the Prince asks me to enter the garden, she still won''t allow it. There''s no need to dirty the place."


    Hearing this, Prince Chen didn''t seem to have any reaction on the surface, but 77 noticed that Prince Chen''s nostrils flared a few times. This man wasn''t as simple as he thought.


    "Prince, this little sister Xu spoke too arrogantly. What in the palace doesn''t belong to you? Under your orders, who dares to disobey? Even if you let her into the garden, she still wouldn''t allow it. She''s too audacious."


    The Jiang family looked at Qi Qi 7 with satisfaction. This girl was usually not this quick-witted, but today she had placed the Xu family on fire with just a few words.


    It seemed like this girl was also a good person. It was just that after getting rid of the Xu family and giving birth to her son, this girl had to be eliminated as soon as possible in order to not create trouble for the tiger.


    Prince Chen sent a meaningful look over to the Jiang Clan, then turned to look at Seventh Seven, before nodding, "The Xu is indeed too arrogant. According to me, the Xu is too rude, arrogant, mature, and forbidden to go for one month."


    Having said so, Prince Chen patted the back of Qi Qi Qi''s hand and warned her carefully, "If you want anything in the future, feel free to tell me or my wife. Don''t let yourself be wronged, and even more so, don''t let my son be wronged."


    His finger gently hooked back at Prince Chen''s finger. The slight itch on his finger caused the suspicions that had just surfaced in the Prince''s heart to immediately disappear without a trace. Such a little girl, what kind of scheme could she have? Prince Chen was convinced that she needed time and money to slowly develop her scheming.


    Thinking of this, Prince Chen once again turned his head to look at the Jiang Clan. The smile on his face made people feel a chill down their spines.


    The Jiang Clan clenched their fingers under their sleeves and the expression on their faces. Despite feeling weak, they still maintained a smile on their faces.


    Waiting for Prince Chen to leave, the Jiang Clan only felt their back drenched in sweat.


    She no longer had the mood to stay here any longer. She gave her mother a look, then replied with seven or seven words of advice, instructing her to take good care of herself. Soon after, she left the small courtyard with seven or seven people.


    The reason why they had to put all seven of these under their noses was so that they could hook up with Prince Chen in their own yard. This way, she could more or less have some meat, saying that she had to put the children of other women under her name, but in the end, the Jiang Clan still hoped to have a child of their own. How could the blood of their own be comparable to the blood of other women?


    After Mrs Xu''s figure disappeared at the door, Qi Qi Qi stood up from her half-squatting position and passionately pulled Sun Yiyi into the room. She first poured a cup of tea for Sun Yiyi''s mother, then picked up a piece of pea bean from the kitchen and handed it over to Sun Yiyi''s mother.


    "Mother Sun, try this pea bean yolk. It''s delicious!"


    "You are about to become a mother, and you only know how to eat." Sun Yiyi''s mother glared at Qi Qi with a smile before tasting the pea yellow in her hands. She was a capable mother to the wangfei''s side. She had never tasted anything delicious before, but Qi Qi Qi was enthusiastically greeting her, so it wasn''t good for her to decline.


    "Mama Sun, do you think it''s true that I''m pregnant? When I heard the maidservant say that I was pregnant in the afternoon, I was completely frightened. Did I really have a child in my womb? " Qi Qi could not help but touch his stomach, his face was filled with fear and disbelief.


    There are so many women in the backyard who want to have a girl and a half, but they just can''t do it after so many years. Now you have gotten the upper hand, didn''t you say that the only hope in this life is for your children to have a good background and not be a slave? "Now, you just need to properly nurture the womb and give birth to this child. Your wish will soon be fulfilled, and this child is also the only son of the King. Just based on his respect, this child''s status is extremely noble."

 C34

    "Really? What if I had a daughter? "


    Your daughter is also a precious jewel of the prince, she''s the noble young princess of the palace. If you can give birth to one, you can give birth to a second, and then there will be flowers, and in the end, what''s there to worry about? Right now, you have to take good care of your body, and give birth to this child.


    "But what?" Of course, she originally had no relationship with the Xu family, but if the two of them were to fight each other, they would still be lacking a dose of medicine. Once he understood this, he would then act as if he was going to make the best of things and act as if he was in a hurry.


    Sun Yiyi''s mother stood up, walked to the door, and looked around. After carefully checking that there was no one else around, she closed the door, went back to the chair next to Seventh Seven, and sat down. She said in a low voice:


    "I''m afraid the West Branch member will make a move on you!" Mother Sun saw that Seventh Seven didn''t seem to understand, so she continued: "Think about it, that person from the West District has already been in the palace for three years. The Prince has already stayed over at her place for three years, and there''s no news from her stomach, how could she not be anxious? "She was always against the princess, and when the princess looks at you differently, she always made things difficult for you. Now that you''re pregnant, will she be able to help you successfully give birth to this child?"


    Qi Qi sneered in her heart, rather than saying that it was because she wanted to oppose Princess Hua-Yang that she kept making things difficult for her, it was better to say that in her eyes, there was no woman in this backyard at all. She was just proud and used to it.


    Although his heart was clear like a mirror, he still had a terrified expression on his face, "Sun, what should I do with Qi Qi? "This child is my only hope. I must give birth to him safely. Regardless of whether he is a girl or a child, he is my lifeblood!"


    "Don''t be afraid, you still have an imperial concubine! "Princess Hua-Yang will do her best to protect you, but there''s always a chance. Besides relying on Princess Hua-Yang, you have to do your best yourself!"


    "Yes, yes, I will do my best. I only hope that mother Sun can remind me so that I can successfully give birth to this child."


    Qi Qi grabbed her hand. Because of the pressure, a few finger marks appeared on her hand, but Qi Qi didn''t seem to notice. Instead, she tightened her fingers even more.


    Sun Yiyi''s mother endured the pain in her hand, revealing a loving smile. By reaching out her hand to comfort Qi Qi Qi, she was able to break free from her fingers that were tightly grabbing onto her.


    "Don''t be too nervous, Mama Sun watched you walk step by step to where you are today. Naturally, she hopes for you. Not only mother Sun, but even consort Wang also hopes for you. If you need to be more careful in the future, I''ll let you know in time."


    Sun Yiyi, mother, I really don''t know how to thank you. On the way here, if it wasn''t for the protection and support of you and your wife, I wouldn''t know how many times they would have died, but I know that your wife has suffered many grievances for so many years. Don''t worry, not only for this child, but also to repay your kindness, I will do my best to contend with your wife.


    She stretched out her hand to the teacup on the table and took a big sip of tea. After talking so much, her mouth was already thirsty, and if Qi Qi still couldn''t comprehend it, then she would really be an idiot.


    Because the act of raising her head to drink the water, Sun Qiqi''s mother missed the sneer that flashed across her face.


    When Sun Yiyi''s mother left, Qi Qi Qi finally loosened up and let out a long sigh. She muttered to herself: "This ancient man is really tired, he has to shrink back and hide everything."


    However, just as he made a few slightly larger movements, he felt a slight pricking pain from his lower abdomen, as if a tendon had been pulled. He quickly found a nearby seat and sat down, reaching out to touch his stomach.


    He massaged her until the pain slowly subsided. Only then did he let go of her. His mind also finally realized what was going on. She had actually forgotten that she was pregnant.


    Qi Qi looked down at her stomach with a complicated expression. She didn''t do anything, but she was going to be a mother! In the next few months, she would see her stomach grow bigger bit by bit, then slowly move as it would become pregnant. When the time it took for her to give birth to a child in October, she would have to put all her energy into growing this child, provide him with a good environment for growth, take care of his healthy growth, and even think about his future. She would even have to carefully educate him so that he could become famous on his own.


    The first two missions, she had a mother who doted on her, and then she had a father who was willing to give up everything for her. However, the difference between the first two and this was very big, after all, the first two times were the times where he had accepted feelings, and even though he had also given feelings for her, he had obtained what was left in the past, while this time she was the one who had given absolute kinship towards him.


    Honestly speaking, she was not confident that she could become a good mother. After all, it was not necessary to work hard to be a good mother, she still needed to put in a lot of emotional effort, but after that, it would be difficult to stop herself from being a good mother. What she worried about was whether it would be very difficult for her to leave the company if she returned to the company after putting in her emotional effort.


    This was also why she didn''t want to have too many emotional entanglements in the quest world. She still had to face so many tasks, so she didn''t want to owe herself too much emotional debt.


    "Sigh ~ I''ll just take it one step at a time. At most, I''ll be a cold mother. As long as I can guarantee the safety of my child, I can be considered to have completed my mission."


    Not wanting to think too much about this issue, Qi Qi chose to temporarily avoid the topic. There were still nine months until the birth of her child. In these nine months, she still had too many things to plan for and too many traps to avoid.


    She still had a good show to play tomorrow, and she had enough energy for today. If the Jiang Clan wanted to use her as a weapon in their fight against the Xu clams, and if the Jiang Clan wanted to take advantage of the situation, it would depend on whether she would be able to take the bait or not.


    The Xu did not want to fight with the Jiang Clan right now, because they had not lowered their arrogant heads yet, and did not recognize the reality of the situation. They did not know what they would face after losing Prince Chen''s favor, and if they wanted to arouse her fighting spirit, she must first experience the pain of losing her love before she could brace herself and go to battle.


    Qi Qi bit her blanket and giggled maliciously. If she was in the modern world, she would be able to motivate a master.


    At daybreak the next day, a maidservant''s voice could be heard from outside, saying that Prince Chen''s reward had arrived.


    Qi Qi Qi was not interested in this gold and silver treasure. No matter how much there was, she wouldn''t be able to take it away with her. However, it was a good opportunity for the other girls in the backyard.


    For the time being, she could not do anything directly in front of the Xu family. Furthermore, she still had not grown any wings, so she was not suitable to do these eye-catching things. She could not do anything to these people with status or backing them, but she could still rely on her belly to expand her influence in the backyard.


    Qi Qi Qi quickly cleaned herself up before opening the door to let the maid in. She wasn''t used to having the maid dress and wash her face. Luckily, the original owner of the body was a lowly maid and didn''t have a temper like this before. Her actions weren''t abnormal.


    As soon as he opened the door, a maidservant dressed in pink reported in a low voice.


    "Seventh Madame, the Prince sent someone to deliver the rewards early in the morning. This servant will have someone put it in the hall and wait for you to take a look and see how these items are arranged."


    She remembered that this little girl was called Cui Huan, the son of the Chen family, and had bullied her quite a bit when she was young. After she was taken in by Prince Chen, and later arranged to be taken by the imperial concubine, Cui Huan was transferred to her side to serve. During this time, although she pretended to be respectful on the surface, her heart was filled with contempt.


    Seventh Madame knew that Cui Huan was a spy placed in her courtyard by Princess Consort Wang. The Jiang clan was a very controlling person, and in order to make herself at ease, she needed to be able to understand every single movement of the original owner at all times.


    Qi Qi then raised her hand to adjust her sideburns, pursing her lips and smiling, pretending to be proud yet bashful at the same time.


    I thought that the prince was just joking yesterday, but who would''ve thought that there would be such a pleasant surprise today. First, pick out the best pieces of the best top-quality jewelry, and then I will have today''s fortune because of the princess'' support. When I go to pay my respects to the princess later, I will also bring them to her.


    "Yes, your servant will prepare it now. The imperial concubine has already sent someone to deliver the breakfast. Should your concubine go to the imperial concubine first, or wait until you''re back from the imperial concubine?"


    "Naturally, we should pay our respects to the wangfei first. The wangfei is my master, and I''m a slave. How can I possibly have the right to eat first!?" You! You just have to warn all the girls in our yard that even though I''m pregnant now, I''m still just an aunt. Don''t rely on the fact that I''m pregnant to show off in the palace, and keep it in check. What was I like before, how is it now? "


    After saying this, Qi Qi turned around and entered the room, not giving Cui Huan the chance to continue probing.


    For such a young maid, if she wanted to seduce him with just a few words, she would be underestimating her.


    After carefully washing himself again, Qi Qi Qi drew an exquisite makeup, picking out a few extremely valuable jewelry from the jewelry box. After comparing them, he looked at his reflection in the mirror and couldn''t help laughing.


    The mirror was originally just a pretty face, but with his meticulous dressing, it had become a noble and graceful one. When the women in the backyard saw the contrast between her and the clothes she was wearing, they gnashed their teeth in anger!


    Humans, they were all like this, those women might not be so envious of the princess, or the princess, because their status was too far apart from theirs, but a lowly girl like her, who could actually fly on a branch and become a phoenix, they absolutely could not accept. The person who had to bend and kneel to them before meeting them, now, because of this stomach, could actually become aloof, and with this obvious material stimulation, it would be strange for them not to go crazy.

 C35

    After cleaning everything up, she headed to the main courtyard. Because they were so close, she didn''t set off that early. By the time she arrived at the Jiang Clan''s reception hall, it was already filled to the brim with people.


    In the main hall sat the gracefully dressed Jiang Shi. Beside her stood her mother, who was respectfully stooping to pour tea.


    The first chair on the left side of the wangfei''s body was empty, presumably left for the wangfei. Unexpectedly, the first chair on the right hand side of the Jiang Clan was also empty today, she guessed that this was something the wangfei had left especially for her.


    Qi Qi turned her head to look at Second Aunt, who should have been sitting first on the right, only to see her face filled with indignation as she glared at her.


    Qi Qi pretended not to understand her expression. She first bowed to the wangfei, then stood up and walked over to the last seat as usual.


    "Qiqi, come, later on. Your seat is right here." The wangfei took a sip from her teacup and pointed at the chair to her right with her white fingers.


    Qi Qi hurriedly stood up, and the jade pearl hairpin on his head made a melodious sound as it shook.


    "Thank you for raising me, Princess Consort. It''s just that this humble servant doesn''t dare to disobey etiquette."


    "What do you dare or not? Your highness said it last night. Now, you are the only one in this mansion, and you have the prince''s bloodline in your stomach, so you should be careful."


    As soon as these words left the mouth of the Jiang Clan, all the women in the room cast their resentful gazes in their direction.


    "Seventh Madame shouldn''t be acting this way, but since esteemed wangfei has orders, then Seventh Seventh Madame should be respectful and do as she says."


    Qi Seven lowered his head and walked step by step towards the first seat on the Jiang Clan''s right. As he walked, he intentionally revealed the ancient jade bracelet on his wrist.


    The Jiang Clan wanted to place themselves on the fire to arouse the wrath of the crowd. The original Huang Qide might have been afraid of this situation, but she wasn''t. On the contrary, this was exactly what she wanted.


    In this month''s time, as long as she became the target of all these women in the backyard, her name would naturally spread into the ears of Consort Xu. In this month''s time, as long as she became the target of all these women in the backyard, her name would naturally spread into the ears of Consort Xu.


    Only then would she have the chance to truly interact with the Xu family. As long as she had enough opportunities to interact with the Xu family, she would have ways to let the Xu family understand the current situation and allow her to clash with the Jiang family.


    The Xu family was such a proud and aloof person that even the wangfei did not catch their eyes, and they were even more dismissive of her. Just like before, when she had been punished to kneel, she had only seen the Xu family''s silhouette from far away in the back garden. Before she had even gotten close, she could only obey and kneel.


    "Seventh sister, I''ve never seen the bracelet on your hands, but looking at the jade, Cui Er is not green and there are no flaws in the middle. I presume it''s worth a lot?" Third Madame, who was sitting next to Qi Qi, looked askance at the bracelet on Qi Qi''s hand and asked sourly.


    I don''t know if this bracelet is expensive or not, but the Prince said that it was carved out of ancient jade, and although it looked a bit simple, it was very nurturing. Yesterday, he had someone send someone to bring it over, saying that he must take it with him and use it to nurture the fetus. "I would never have dared to bring such a precious bracelet, but since the prince has ordered it, I wouldn''t dare disobey."


    All of them gritted their teeth as they tightened their grimaces on the handkerchief in their hands. They wished that they could tear seven to seven apart, but they forced a smile on their faces. Having said all that, what else could they say other than a few sour words of congratulations?


    "These bracelets are good, but they''re not rare. I''ve seen quite a few of them at Consort Xu''s place. Consort Xu didn''t see any of them at all. Last time, she even said that if you liked them, you''d reward me?"


    As the room was filled with fake laughter, a voice suddenly rang out. Seventh Madame turned her head and saw that the person who had spoken was a loyal follower of Concubine Xu. It was as if his family was a subordinate of the Xu Family.


    "Qi Qi Qi has never seen anything of the world before. Let alone such precious ancient jade, even if it was a normal street toy, it would still be extremely valuable. After all, this is a gift from the prince."


    When she heard her husband''s words, her face turned cold. She was about to say something else when she was interrupted by the wangfei.


    "Alright!" No matter what the Prince sends, it is all from the Prince''s heart. No matter if it''s precious or not, what matters is that you guys are the same as the Seventh Prince, to give birth to the Prince''s child. "


    The Jiang family looked on with satisfaction at the envious eyes of the crowd as they leisurely sipped on the cup of tea in front of them, as if it was so delicious.


    "Alright, since you''ve all been sitting here for so long this morning, you can leave now." After speaking and letting the crowd leave, only then did the Jiang clan turn their heads to look at the Seventh Brother who stood up and prepared to leave as well.


    "Qi Qi, you stay here and accompany me to eat. We sisters will have a good chat."


    Everyone who had yet to withdraw, upon hearing this, recalled the special treatment that Qi Seventh had received in the past two days and couldn''t help but turn back and glare fiercely at her.


    Qi Qi lowered her head and pretended to be scared. She moved closer to Sun Yiyi, nervously holding Sun Yiyi''s hand. Her big eyes were filled with tears.


    Out of the corner of her eye, the Jiang Clan looked at Qi Qi Qi, then shot a look at Sun Yiyi''s mom, and the smile on her face deepened.


    In the end, mud couldn''t support the wall. Even with such a large bargaining chip, she still couldn''t get onto the stage. She thought this girl had grown a little bit! So these were all fake. Those few emotionless eyes were actually frightened to such an extent.


    "Come, Seventh Seven, come sit here." With the help of the maidservants, the Jiang Clan walked to the already prepared dining table and sat down. While wiping her hands with a handkerchief that had already been wet, she called for Qi Qi to come over.


    Under Sun Yiyi''s mother''s gaze, Qi Qi Qi slowly walked to the dining table, but she did not sit down. Instead, she clasped her hands and looked as if she didn''t know what to do.


    "Esteemed wangfei, this servant ¡­ "I ¡­"


    "Come, don''t be afraid. If I told you to sit, you should have sat down. Just now, you were completely terrified. It''s fine, they are just jealous."


    The Jiang family pulled Qi Qi Qi over to their side and sat her down. They even picked up a pair of spicy bamboo shoots and placed them into the bowl in front of Qi Qi.


    This spicy bamboo shoot is very dry. In the morning, porridge is the most appetizing dish. Come, try it and see if it suits your appetite. Now that you are a person with two bodies, you have to eat more.


    Qi Qi Qi obediently picked up the food and placed it in her mouth. After chewing it a few times, she finally raised her head and smiled at the Jiang Clan.


    "Indeed, it''s very appetizing. Thank you for your gift, Princess Consort."


    "In the future, you can keep the rewards that the prince has given you. I don''t lack these things, so there''s no need to send them to me." The Jiang Clan used a small silver spoon to scoop up the bird''s nest porridge as they smiled and instructed Seventh Seven.


    Since she wanted to put on an act, why wouldn''t she keep it until the end? No matter how good these things were, she had to live to enjoy it, so long as this girl gave birth to a child, there was no need for her to live anymore. At that time, no matter how many things she had, they would all fall into her hands.


    Qi Qi silently sized up the expression on the Jiang Clan''s face. With the aid of the porridge, she concealed the ridicule on her face. The Jiang Clan was really confident in themselves. Was she really that confident that they could fully grasp her?


    "Seven, seven, you saw it too. There are so many women in the backyard of the prince''s mansion, it used to be alright, but now that you''re pregnant, it becomes a thorn in their side. But don''t worry, I will always protect you, but you have to be careful yourself, okay? It''s said that it''s hard to defend against an arrow when you''re aiming at the spear! "


    After having their breakfast, the Jiang Clan was not in a hurry to get someone to remove the table. Instead, they had someone boil another pot of Dragon Well before the Rain and had them chat for a long time.


    "I know, Mommy Sun also told me last night. I thought about it all night and decided to be strong for this child, but when I saw you in the morning ¡­" "Then..." "Then ¡­"


    "It''s fine, take your time, we are not in a hurry. There will be more days to come! Just remember, if you encounter any trouble, come and tell me. When I''m busy, it''s fine to look for Sun Yiyi''s mother. "


    The Jiang Clan was satisfied with Qi Qi Qi''s reply. They then ordered someone to remove the table and walk back to the main hall with her hand in hand.


    "Esteemed wangfei, what about Consort Xu ¡­"


    Qi Qi knew that the Jiang Clan had done so much today. Their true purpose had yet to be revealed, and in their hearts, other than Consort Xu, who else could it be. After tormenting themselves for the morning, she was also tired, so she might as well open her mouth.


    "What happened to Consort Xu?" The Jiang family looked at Qi Qi with a kind and kind smile.


    I was worried that after the time limit for my wife had expired, she would cause trouble for me. I don''t care, but I still have the bloodline of the prince in my stomach. If something happens to happen, how am I going to explain it to the prince? "


    As he said this, Qi Qi Qi even pulled out a handkerchief and wiped her forehead. After looking carefully, she could see that there was indeed a thin layer of cold sweat on her forehead.


    The ancients were dressed in layers after layers, and now that she was pregnant, pregnant women were prone to hot and dry, but in the Jiang Clan''s eyes, this was the best proof of the fear in Qi Qi''s heart.


    Seventh Seven, ah, I didn''t want to say these words to you so early, but you have to remember, as a mother, you have to be strong. Although the Xu family''s background is strong, and the prince has to tolerate it when necessary, but now you have the biggest bargaining chip in hand, ah, the prince only has this son in your stomach, and now you can use this child in your stomach to fight with the Xu family. You''re not thinking for yourself, but you have to think for this child.


    The Jiang family turned their head to look at Seventh Seven, staring into her eyes and asked again, "What do you think? Seven to seven! "

 C36

    "I understand wangfei''s meaning, but I''m afraid that with Xu Sang''s noble status and humble status, he may have the heart to do so!" Qi Qi Qi secretly stuck out her tongue and lowered her head to cover all the expressions on her face.


    "No matter how noble Madam Xu is, she hasn''t appeared in the past three years. Even though your status can''t compare to hers, you''re pregnant. Now you have the qualifications to fight her." Sun Yiyi''s mother immediately tried to persuade her after receiving her gaze. There were some words that a person with the status of an imperial concubine couldn''t say out loud. That would be the time for her to take action.


    "Then, how do we fight?" Qi Qi raised her head and looked timidly at Jiang''s and Sun''s mother.


    "Naturally, it is to seize the heart of the prince while the Xu family is grounded. Women, in this house, the greatest safety is in obtaining a man''s heart. Once a man''s heart is set off, everything you do is right."


    Sun Yiyi''s mother handed a cup of brewed tea to the Jiang family, turned her head to look at Qi Qi, and suppressed her voice with a dubious expression.


    Qi Qi Qi raised his hand and caressed his face, then looked at Jiang Shi, then looked at Sun Yiyi''s mother, and then mustered up the courage to say:


    "I would like to as well, but I also know my own limitations. With my looks, I''m afraid I won''t be able to enter your eyes."


    When the Jiang Clan heard this, they covered their mouths and smiled. They took out their handkerchiefs to wipe the corner of their mouths, but there was no tea mark. "To obtain a man''s heart, one doesn''t have to do it personally."


    "Then... "Then what should we do?" Qi Qi Jian looked at the Jiang Clan with a perplexed expression, but after she said this, she refused to speak any further. She only said that she was tired, and left Sun Yiyi''s mother to talk with her, and with the support of a young maid, she entered the inner room.


    Sun Yiyi''s mother watched as the princess entered the room before turning around to pull Qi Seventh with her hand as she smiled.


    "Mother Sun, what are you laughing about? Also, what did Princess Hua-Yang mean by what she said just now? "


    "Come, come, there''s no rush. Mother Sun will tell you everything."


    Sun Yiyi''s mother pulled Qi Qi to the side and sat down. Only after she got close to Qi Qi did she begin to whisper in her ear.


    "Now that you''re pregnant, even if you want to serve the Prince, you can''t, right?"


    Seeing Qi Qi Jian nod her head dumbly, Sun Yiyi''s mother continued:


    If you want a man''s heart, it''s actually very simple. As long as you think of what he wants, you just need to hurry him up. Right now, you have already fulfilled the greatest wish of the king, and with the woman who filled the courtyard, you must have lost your heart. Otherwise, how could the king be willing to punish her so easily?


    "Then... So what am I going to do next? "


    Qi Qi looked up at Sun Yiyi''s mother, as if she didn''t understand what she meant at all.


    Sun Yiyi''s mother pointed at his forehead and continued to explain: "You, you, why are you so ignorant? "With this child here, the prince will definitely come to see you whenever he has time, but you can''t wait on him. Don''t tell me every time the prince comes, you want him to leave in the middle of the night?"


    "Then... Then there was still the princess consort! "This servant lives in Princess Wangfei''s courtyard. After Prince has seen this servant''s place, you can rest here directly. This way, you won''t have to run around."


    "You, ah, you really don''t understand. It''s better to pretend that you don''t understand. If you say something disrespectful," Sun Yiyi''s mother lowered her voice even more. "Since wangfei is already old, how can you bear to share a room with your old wife every day? Even if it''s the occasional time, but every day ¡­" "Heh, I''m afraid that your highness won''t be able to walk around like this everyday. I won''t be coming to see you in the future. This person''s feelings are all out of place. If we don''t get along, it''ll be easy."


    "Then... "Then what should we do?"


    "You''re really stupid to say you''re stupid. Other than you and your wife, is there no other woman in the world?" Sun Yiyi''s mother poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over to Qi Qi, while a calculating look flashed across her eyes.


    "Other women ¡­" Qi Qi lowered her head to ponder for a while, then looked up at Sun Yiyi with a puzzled look. "Is there any difference between that and going out to find the other sisters in the backyard after you''ve seen me?"


    "Of course it''s different. Go find the other women in the backyard, that''s to push our prince out. We want his heart to be kept in his concubine''s yard."


    Seventh Madame still didn''t seem to understand what she meant and couldn''t help but feel a little irritated. This blockhead was really stupid, but then again, wasn''t this girl the one Princess Hua-Yang took a fancy to? If his thoughts were complicated and he could understand everything, then he wouldn''t be able to relax when using it.


    Thinking of this, Sun Yiyi''s mother forcefully suppressed her impatience and adjusted the expression on her face.


    When the prince comes over, you can let these maids serve the prince. As long as you hold the prince in your arms, when you give birth to your child, the prince will reward you with great effort. Perhaps, you can even raise your position.


    Sun Yiyi''s mother raised her chin towards the west and said in a low voice: "As long as that one is gone, maybe you can live there."


    Hearing this, Qi Qi immediately covered Sun Yiyi''s mother''s mouth with her hands in fear and trepidation. "Sun Yiyi, don''t speak carelessly. She''s the secondary wife. How can a woman with my status be qualified!"


    Sun Yiyi''s mother pulled off his hand and rolled her eyes. "You''re so dumb, but if that''s gone, then the position of the concubine will be vacated. Although status is very important, but you''re the biological mother of the eldest son of the prince, so even for the sake of your child, the prince will still have to give you a noble title, right?"


    Qi Qi looked at Sun Yiyi''s mom for a while before finally understanding what was going on. She gently nodded, then bit her lips and raised her head to look at Sun Yiyi. "Sun Yiyi''s mom, is this method possible?"


    "Of course, as long as you wholeheartedly serve Your Highness, you can push out those maidservants at the most crucial moments. As for other matters, my wangfei and I will help you." When she saw that Qi Qi had agreed to it, Sun Yiyi''s mother quickly promised.


    "Princess? Will the wangfei help me with this? "


    When Qi Qi asked this question, Sun Yiyi''s mother suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing in a moment of anxiousness. Everyone was well aware of this kind of thing, and if she said it, it would become a weakness in the future. If the prince didn''t feel that she shouldn''t have any ulterior motives, then why would the wangfei need to use this little girl to send a beauty away?


    Sun Yiyi''s mother laughed dryly and changed the topic: "Do you understand the method I''m talking about? If you really want to fight for more for your children, you''d better listen to my suggestion."


    After a long silence, Qi Qi nodded and said, "I understand. Thank you, Sun Yiyi."


    After returning from Princess Hua-Yang''s place, Qi Qi returned to her own room and told her that she needed to rest. She then shut the door and went to bed, covered her head, and fell asleep.


    She had already completed her main task for the day. In this month, she only needed to follow the path that the wangfei had arranged for her to go. The real show would only take place after the Xu family had broken their bans on the foot.


    A month''s time passed by very quickly. In this period of time, every morning, he would go to the wangfei''s place to play with the master and servant of the Jiang family, causing the women in the backyard to be jealous. At night, when Prince Chen came to visit, he would send the several beautiful maidservants that the wangfei had arranged to serve him.


    After coming over, he also had a young and pretty maid wait on him. Occasionally, he would spend a night or two with the princess, and his days were very comfortable and relaxing. He had no idea how much of an impact it would have on him to stay in the backyard for a long time.


    First, those concubines stared at Qi Seven with increasingly resentful eyes, then the servants of the mansion began to serve the masters of the courtyard more and more carefully, becoming more and more perfunctory towards the concubines of the other courtyards, and even gradually began to look down on the West Branch after not having heard anything from the Prince for a long time.


    It was just that the Xu family had been too arrogant in the Prince''s Mansion. He also knew that the Xu family''s heart had never been in the Prince''s Mansion, and in order to win over the Xu family, it was necessary for them to rely on him in the future.


    Only by truly putting him in their hearts would the Xu family be willing to help him deal with the Xu family. Only then would his power within the imperial court be consolidated.


    "What''s with this tea?" "What''s that smell?" Mrs Xu threw out the teacup in her hand in disgust, the spilt tea scalding Mrs Chen, who was standing beside her.


    Mrs Chen did not dare to complain. She did not even dare to wipe away the tea leaves on her body. She hurriedly walked to the front of Mrs Xu and knelt down.


    "My lord, you will have to atone for your sins. This year''s new tea has been used up, and the steward has said that the princess needs to save money. Every courtyard has to be filled to the limit, so... So this servant took the remaining tea from last year. "


    It would have been better if Mrs Xu had not said so. Mrs Xu immediately stood up and strode out, saying angrily:


    "That old woman, she took advantage of my confinement to ruin me like this. How could such a large palace lose two catties of tea leaves?"


    "Mistress, Mistress, please hold your steps. The time for the restriction has not come yet, so you can''t go out. If you anger the prince again, I''m afraid it will take more than one month."


    Mrs Xu lowered her head and looked at Mrs Chen, who was kneeling at the side, hugging her legs with all her might. Remembering her mother''s company since childhood, she finally couldn''t bear to make her worry. She bit her lips and controlled her anger, "I''ll listen to you.


    It was just that her young miss was too arrogant and her temper was a little too direct. Otherwise, she wouldn''t have been schemed against in the first place, and this perfectly fine Prime Minister''s direct daughter had actually become a side room of the Prince''s estate. Furthermore, the Prince was even older than the Prince.


    She originally thought that with a good family background, she would definitely find a good husband, but she didn''t expect that in the end, it would end like this. If it was anyone else, they would be unwilling in their hearts, but now that they had married, rather than holding back and arguing with the prince, it would be better for them to live a peaceful life.


    However, if it was a man who could endure his own woman ignoring him for a long period of time, it was still impossible for ordinary men, not to mention the prince who held great authority over them. With a word of warning, the prince''s current tolerance and tolerance, other than perhaps actually liking his master a little, should be mostly out of respect for the Xu Family.

 C37

    However, if his master had been unwilling to help the duke bridge the Xu Family, it would be very difficult for his master to live with other women occupying his heart. Moreover, right now, there was a pregnant Seventh Madame in the estate, while his master had been married for three years without any results.


    Originally, no one had it, but now, with Seventh Madame as a comparison, Master''s position was already very bad. If Master still didn''t recognize the reality and continued to act according to his own will, then perhaps ¡­


    Her mouth moved a few times, but she did not say anything. She understood her master''s character very well. Such a straightforward exhortation from her master would only make things worse if she did not listen to it.


    Would the master have to suffer to realize the seriousness of the problem?


    "Why are you looking at me like that?" Unintentionally, the Xu family and Sun Yiyi''s mother''s worried eyes met, and they immediately felt a little uncomfortable. In order to hide this strange feeling, they subconsciously scolded him with a straight face, but after that, they didn''t feel any better and instead felt even worse.


    She knew in her heart that what she said and did was for her own good. However, she had always been a person who didn''t like what she said and didn''t want to be the one to caress her mother and act like a spoiled child.


    "Master, you should give in to the prince. This old servant knows that you''re not feeling well, but it''s not good compared to yourself. You''re the prince''s side consort, so the honor and disgrace from now on are all part of the prince. You don''t need to ¡­"


    Without waiting for her to finish, Xu Shiji stood up, his face red with anger.


    "Why would I submit to him? Marrying me was a blessing he gained from his previous life. With my personality, he couldn''t stand it any longer and would go to the backyard to find those little imps. I don''t care about that at all."


    She was already married, and was wronged in the beginning, but she also knew that no matter how wronged she was, it was useless for her to ask the Emperor to retract his order and marry someone else. In fact, she had already accepted her fate the night she was married, and the Prince doted on her in the beginning, so she slowly wanted to put her heart on the Prince. However, before she could completely let go of her worries, the Prince turned around and pampered the other women in the backyard.


    Of course, she knew that it was normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. But how long had it been since she married, and the Prince had already spent his time on other women, causing her to lose all face? Since he was so attached, why should she treat him wholeheartedly?


    "Mistress, don''t say it like this. This old servant knows that you are bitter inside and that you care about the Prince in your heart. Why do you have to make things so difficult for yourself in this house just to bet on it?" In the past, she had been willful and willful, but now the situation was different. The Royal Concubine promoted Seventh Madame to be pregnant. If you didn''t marry the Prince, then in the future ¡­ What should we do in the future? "


    Mother Chen quickly crawled a few steps forward and wrapped her arms around Mrs Xu''s legs, earnestly trying to persuade her.


    "Humph!" So what if you''re pregnant? For a woman with such a lowly status, even if she gave birth to a son, she would only be a concubine. When she sees me, she would only kneel down and pay respects. " How could Mrs Xu not understand what Mrs Chen was saying? Yet, she still remained stubborn.


    "Mistress ~ ~ Why ¡­" Sun Yiyi''s mother said with worry. Although she didn''t finish her sentence, she already understood the underlying meaning.


    Hearing this, the Xu family did not stick out all their spikes like a hedgehog. They only bit their lips, and after a long time, they slowly softened their straight waists, slowly leaning back in their chairs. However, their tears had already started to fall.


    After a long while, Mrs Xu softly murmured, "Nanny, why are these days so bitter?"


    How many years has it been since the young miss has been sensible? She hasn''t called me ''young lady'' since then, but today she has used this tone to call me ''young lady''. It can be seen that the young lady''s heart is extremely bitter.


    In the eyes of an outsider, the young miss was the direct descendant of the Prime Minister, she was doted upon by everyone and lived in pride, but who would have known that the young miss had suffered, that the young mistress had passed away early, and that the young miss had taken on the title of a direct daughter, but it was difficult for her to stay within the palace. All these years, if it were not for the old lady''s protection, the young miss would probably have been bitten to death, the Prime Minister was too busy managing the affairs of the court, he did not have the heart to manage the internal affairs at all.


    From the moment she had married into the Prince''s estate, she had probably already been discouraged. Furthermore, since the prince valued the power of the Xu Estate wholeheartedly, he rarely had any sincerity towards Miss, so how could the young miss not be bitter in her heart?


    "Miss, this old servant understands the bitterness in your heart, but your days have to go on. Even if you don''t have to think for yourself, you have to think for the young master of the house. Without your backing, the young master''s days in the house will be difficult!"


    The reason why Mrs Chen had not mentioned the Xu Family''s younger brother before was because she was afraid that the Xu family would be burdened too heavily and force her to be too tight. However, seeing how the situation within the house had turned so grim with the arrival of a child, she could only use the Xu Family''s young master to speak.


    "A''Cheng?" What happened to A-Cheng? What happened to him? "


    Hearing her mother''s words, Mrs Xu anxiously sat up straight and asked again and again.


    "Miss, don''t be nervous, little young master is fine, it''s just that if you continue to throw yourself away like this, Master and Madam won''t be able to see your value, and the old lady has passed away. Without you and the old lady to look after the young master, I''m afraid his future is bleak."


    Seeing that Mrs Xu was nervous, Mrs Chen hurriedly tried to comfort her, but then she bluntly analyzed the house''s situation to Mrs Xu, hoping to wake her up.


    In her father''s eyes, there was only power. The role of her daughter was probably limited to the benefits brought by the marriage. When they had married her to the Crown Prince, the first reason was due to her being framed, and the second was because she wanted to use her to cooperate with the Crown Prince?


    In fact, the relationship between the prince and his father, to put it in an inappropriate way, was really like a concubine who had feelings for her. What they lacked right now was trust in each other, and what they hoped to gain from her was nothing more than building a bridge between them and providing them with the opportunity to work together.


    She didn''t want to get involved in anything that happened between them, she only wanted to live to the end of her life, but what her mother said was right, she could die this way, as long as she didn''t care about this so-called wealth, but he was still young, he still had a long way to go in this life. If she didn''t pave the way for him, then with her father''s character, it would be strange for her to nurture him.


    Although Prince Chen and the Jiang family both had instructions for her to take care of her body and not have to take care of her in the morning, Qi Qi was very clear in her heart that Prince Chen might still have some sincere feelings for her body. As for the Jiang family, that could only be hehe, if she really didn''t go, the Jiang family would have her mother probe her a hundred times, and she had been deeply comprehending the Jiang family''s doubts for the past month. Even for an old servant who accompanied her since she was young, the Jiang family would still be very wary of them, let alone a concubine like her.


    Today seemed to be destined to be different from any other day. When the seventh and seventh branch arrived, there was already a gorgeous dressed, elegant woman sitting at the head of the left wing that had always been empty. The seventh and seventh branch took advantage of the time when they were saluting to the Jiang Clan to quietly size up this person''s expression from the corner of their eyes.


    When she was free, she would not come to the Jiang Clan''s courtyard and only pay her respects on a whim. She said a few more words of respect and sat down, angered the Jiang Clan, and then left. Although she had served beside the Jiang Clan in the past, she had never met them at such a close distance.


    In the past, when he had suffered losses under the Xu family, he did not have the time to get close to them and would be punished by the Xu family when they came across him from afar.


    No wonder she died so inexplicably under the hands of the Jiang Clan. If it wasn''t for the fact that she was worried about her son and the fact that she refused to leave the Wang Mansion, even if she died, she wouldn''t know the real cause of her death. Instead, she would have been deeply grateful to the Jiang Clan, right?


    "You ~ ~ If you say you won''t listen, then aren''t you supposed to be resting in the yard?" Coming here so early in the morning, aren''t you afraid of accidentally injuring the child in your womb? Take care of yourself now, that''s the most important thing.


    The Jiang family sat at the head of the group. Their faces were full of smiles, and although they spoke with incomparable enthusiasm, they did not let 77 get up.


    When the Xu family saw this scene, a mocking smile appeared on their faces. What a hypocritical inner chamber. That was why she had been disdainful of fighting with these people in the past. It had lowered her character too much, just that ¡­ Now, he probably couldn''t control himself.


    The Jiang family talked about this and that for a long time. Then, as if they suddenly remembered something, they glared at their mother.


    "You''re just too old and muddle-headed. I was so happy to see Qi Seventh, so I forgot about it. How come you didn''t know to remind me to let Qi Seventh get up earlier?" The floor is so cold, how could Qi Hua''s body withstand it? Why haven''t you helped Qi Qi Jian to sit down on her seat yet? "


    After berating Sun Yiyi''s mother, the Jiang family then turned their heads to look at Qi Seventh, who was slowly getting up with the support of Sun Yiyi''s mother, and softly said:


    Seventh seven, ah, in the future, don''t be so courteous, this concubine needs to salute when she sees the main wife. This is a rule, but you are different from them now, so you don''t need to follow this rule for now. Also, I''m not such a heartless person.


    As she said this, the Jiang Clan turned to look at the Xu Clan at the side and faintly smiled, looking very much like a sister.


    "You say that, don''t you? Little sister Xu? "


    Hearing this, the Xu did not give the Jiang Clan any face. They only sneered and replied: "I hope elder sister really doesn''t mind!"

 C38

    The Jiang Clan seemed to have a great understanding of the Xu Clan''s character. Hearing this, their faces only turned slightly cold, before they smiled and turned their heads to talk to Qi Qi Seven, asking them about the details of the matter. However, in the end, it was just about whether they slept well, ate well, and had children.


    Qi Qi Qi pursed her lips into a smile and answered one by one. There was no change in her expression, but she kept paying attention to the expression on the other side of Consort Xu''s face.


    Although she did not say anything, the subtle expressions on her face indicated time and again that she was gradually becoming impatient. Her pursed lips, her slightly lowered eyes, the slight wrinkles on her brow, and the constantly twisting handkerchief in her hand.


    The original owner''s environment, if one must describe it in terms of a certain type of drama, would be a house play. Moreover, it would be a house play where no one would have a good ending, and the Xu family was a pet concubine who was favored by tens of thousands in the early stages of a house fight, but ended up in a miserable state in the end. Compared to a small cannon fodder like Huang Qiqi, she was just a slightly bigger cannon fodder.


    Thinking up to here, Qi Qi couldn''t help but cover her mouth and laugh. She had a premonition that she might not need to find another way out of the mansion.


    The Jiang Clan seemed to be very unaccustomed to the Xu Clan''s transformation. While they were chatting with Qi Qi Qi Hua, they had been constantly sizing up the Xu Clan from the corner of their eyes. The unusual atmosphere in the hall today also caused the other concubines to not dare to say anything.


    "Little sister Xu, today is a rare occasion. You''ve sat with me for so long, and in the past, little sister would leave without waiting for big sister to say a word. With Prince''s punishment, little sister''s temper seems to have improved a lot!"


    The Jiang Clan smiled and said these words to the Xu Clan. After they finished, they did not say anything else and waited for the Xu clan to answer.


    She raised her head and glanced at the Jiang Clan, and then as if nothing had happened, she lowered her head to play with the incense ball hanging by her waist.


    "What is it? Elder sister doesn''t welcome me to stay? "


    This merciless retort instantly caused the Jiang Clan''s smile to freeze.


    "How could that be!?" However, I have neglected my little sister today, so don''t take offense to it. After all, Seventh Brother is pregnant, and this is the first child of the Prince. I, your big sister, will always take care of it. " "Seventh Madame, come here, you haven''t formally met Imperial Consort Xu, right? At that time, you almost became pregnant, and this is all because of little sister Xu''s unintentional act. Now that the Prince has already punished you, you can''t take it to heart."


    Qi Qi Qi cursed silently in her heart. What a vicious Jiang Clan. With just that one sentence, they wanted her to start another conflict with the Xu Clan. Since it was her wish today, there would always be a chance to make up for it in the future.


    Thus, a layer of mist slowly seeped into Qi Qi Qi''s eyes as she bowed towards the Xu family, "Qi Qi Yi greets Big Sister Xu. If you''ve offended you in any way, please be magnanimous, Big Sister Xu."


    For a moment, she only felt a surge of anger at her chest, unable to let it go. Just as she was about to say something, Mrs Chen, who had been standing behind her all this time, reached out her hand and tugged at her sleeve. Mrs Xu turned her head, only to see Mrs Chen faintly shaking her head, her eyes full of worry.


    Mrs Xu gripped the handkerchief in her hands tightly, took a deep breath, and threw a sentence at Qi Qi Qi, "Don''t call me sister so intimately. Don''t judge your status. What qualifications do you have to call me sister?"


    Hearing the Xu family''s words, Qi Qi Qi had a better impression of the Xu family. She felt that this person was straight tempered and didn''t have much of a heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be pitiful. She turned around and slightly raised her head to look at the Jiang family, then shifted her gaze to her mother, who was standing next to the Jiang family, looking like she was looking for help.


    "Sister Xu, you''re wrong. We are all wives of the prince, no matter how different our background was in the past, now we sisters all wholeheartedly serve the prince for his sake. In terms of status, we should all be treated as the same, and if there''s a difference, it''s only serving the prince for a short period of time.


    When the Xu heard this, they just coldly looked at the Jiang Clan. They stood up and slightly bent over the Jiang Clan, and before they could shout, they straightened up: "I hope that elder sister is as you said, all the concubines in the house are like sisters. That way, I won''t disturb all of you to talk about sisterhood."


    The Jiang Clan was about to say something, but the Xu had already turned and left the hall, leaving her no room to speak.


    Clenching her teeth, she revealed a stiff smile as she faced the concubines sitting in the kitchen and said, "You have all come for a short time, and should be tired as well. Go back and rest, seventy percent, you have to compensate me for my meal. This morning, the prince specifically ordered the kitchen to prepare a date paste cake for you to eat."


    She pursed her lips, and didn''t even raise her head. She only seemed to respectfully agree, but in her heart, she muttered. This Jiang clan really wouldn''t let go of any chance to make enemies for her.


    After everyone had left, the Jiang Clan brought Qi Seventh along to the restaurant.


    As long as you successfully give birth to the prince''s child, the prince won''t treat you unfairly. I will also get what you deserve in front of the prince, believe me, as long as I''m here, no one will be able to take what belongs to you, right? "


    "Something that belongs to me?" Qi Qi Qi looked puzzledly at the Jiang Clan with a bowl of Swallow''s Nest porridge in her hand, and a pure and innocent expression on her face.


    When the Jiang Clan heard this, they did not say much, and only looked at the 70-70 yuan''s flat stomach.


    Qi Qi followed the Jiang Clan''s gaze and moved back and forth between his stomach and the Jiang Clan''s face. After a while, he acted like he just came to a sudden realization. Immediately after, his face revealed a terrified expression, as if he was about to cry.


    "Royal Consort ¡­ "Princess, are you saying that someone is trying to steal my child?"


    "It''s not someone. It''s someone." Sun Yiyi''s mother reached out to grab the small porcelain bowl in Qi Qi''s hand, as if she was afraid she would hurt herself by smashing the bowl.


    After seeing Qi Qi Qi''s gaze fall on her, Sun Yiyi''s mother turned to the west and pouted.


    In her panic, Qi Qi hurriedly stood up and even bumped into the corner of the table, but she didn''t care about this little bit of pain. Instead, she pretended to kneel down and earnestly begged, "Princess, please help me, I don''t need anything, but I can''t give up on this child. For the sake of this child, I''m willing to do anything."


    When the Jiang family heard what she wanted to hear, the corner of her mouth twitched in satisfaction. It wasn''t until she almost kneeled down that she signaled her mother to help her up.


    "What are you doing?" Did I say I wouldn''t help you? What are you so anxious for? Yet you still ignore your own body and make such a dangerous move. Say, if the child in your stomach gets hurt, how will you face the Duke and I''s painstaking efforts? "


    Sorry, it''s too late. There are still two new chapters today.


    Qi Qi stood up with the support of her mother and used a handkerchief to cover her eyes. She looked like she was wiping her tears, but in reality, she was trying to cover up the smile that appeared in the corner of her eyes.


    "Princess, then what should I do?"


    Jiang Shi stretched out her hand to pick up a piece of jujube cake from the plate in front of her and gently placed it into the bowl.


    "If you want to avoid this situation, the only way is to make this person with ill intentions lose the ability to fight you!"


    "Have you lost the ability to fight me? However ¡­ But I don''t want to fight... I just want to be with the kids... "


    "You don''t want to fight, but you want to be with your child. Do you think that''s possible?" The Jiang Clan calmly took another piece of jujube cake and bit into it. They slowly tasted the sour taste. Although their mouths were sore, their hearts were at ease.


    "That''s right, Seventh Madame. Although the wangfei can take care of you in the backyard, there will always be times when the wangfei can''t. If you don''t learn how to protect yourself, the chances of an accident happening are still very high, and didn''t you say before that you were willing to do anything for the sake of your child?" "Why are you so afraid now?" Sun Yiyi''s mother opened her mouth to persuade her, but in her heart, she wasn''t optimistic about this timid Seventh Madame. If it wasn''t for the fact that the prince had taken a fancy to this girl and that she was so fond of her son, she would never have entered the eyes of the wangfei.


    Qi Qi lowered her head, and stretched out her hand to lightly stroke her stomach that she hadn''t revealed yet, then solemnly nodded her head as if she had made up her mind. She then raised her head and looked at the Jiang family and Sun Yiyi''s mother. "Qi Qi will follow wangfei''s arrangements."


    "Mm ~ ~ Then that''s good. After eating breakfast, go sit at Xu Sanguan''s place. We''re both princes'' women, you should get along well. You''re not familiar with Xu Sanguan''s place, I''ll have Sun''s mother accompany you."


    After saying this, Lady Jiang gently threw the half-eaten date mud cake on her plate and took the wet handkerchief from a young maid. She wiped her hands, which had been painted bright red, and gave a look to her mother.


    Sun Yiyi''s mother nodded in understanding.


    Qi Qi Qi saw everything with his own eyes, but his heart was full of caution. It seemed like there would be a good show playing out at Consort Xu''s place soon. He was afraid that they would make a move on him to embarrass Consort Xu.


    Wasn''t her greatest use right now the child in her womb?


    She wasn''t afraid that they would let this child die. After all, the Jiang Clan was still hoping for her to successfully give birth to a son so that they could remember her name and add chips for her! However, it was inevitable that she would suffer a little for an insignificant matriarch like him.


    It just so happened that she had to find an opportunity to get close to the Xu family and find a way to work together. Now, she could use the Jiang family''s arrangements to openly go to the west yard.


    "I''m afraid that Consort Xu does not wish to see me ¡­" Since the show had already begun, it was time to end it all. Thus, Qi Qi Qi raised her head and carefully looked at the Jiang Clan''s expression, and softly voiced her worries.


    Sister Xu is a straightforward person who isn''t good at socialising, so she definitely won''t be happy. But since you''re a guest, she can''t just kick you out, and oh, what if something happens to you in her yard, like a little injury or something, how can she explain it to the prince? Maybe the prince is so angry that he locked her up, and she just got out of his confinement, so she won''t make things difficult for you.


    Qi Qi lowered her head and twisted the handkerchief in her hand back and forth. She had an uneasy look, but she repeatedly cursed the Jiang Clan''s shamelessness in her heart.

 C39

    The meaning of the Jiang Clan''s words was very clear. They wanted her to intentionally suffer some injuries in the West Branch so that they could blame it on the Xu Clan. But now, they were speaking in such a dignified manner.


    With the Xu family treating her in the main hall, if she was injured in the west yard, even if the prince had doubts in his heart and did not believe that the Xu family would be so impatient, he would not be able to give them seven or seven answers. At that time, the Xu family would probably suffer a lot, and because she had suffered a great loss, the Xu family would inevitably treat her as a thorn in their side.


    Exiting the Jiang Clan''s courtyard, with Sun Yiyi''s mother accompanying him, Qi Qi Qi went directly to the west yard. From the main courtyard to the west yard of the Xu Clan, they had to pass through the back garden.


    These concubines'' hearts were filled with disdain towards Seventh Madame, but who told her to be so full of energy? Therefore, although she was unwilling, she still went up to greet them.


    "Where are Seventh Madame and Sun''s mother going?"


    Before Qi Qi could speak up, a mother answered in place of her, "Just now, at the wangfei''s place, Xu Wei and Seventh Madame had a bit of an unpleasant situation. Seventh Madame blamed herself for saying the wrong things, causing Xu Pan to be unhappy. When they were having breakfast at her place, she was always depressed, so she told Seventh Madame to sit down in her courtyard and resolve the conflict. It''s good for both of us."


    When the other concubines present heard this, they glanced at each other and covered their mouths and chuckled in tacit understanding.


    "The wangfei''s heart is still as kind as ever. She''s always thinking for Seventh Madame, you can see. In the eyes of the wangfei, Seventh Madame is still different from the rest of us."


    "Sisters, please don''t say any more words. Aren''t you trying to kill me? It''s the same for the other sisters. " Qi Qi Qi didn''t know what to do and could only shake his hand as he tried his best to explain. It seemed that he was deeply afraid that everyone would misunderstand Princess Hua-Yang.


    "Alright, you''re serious too. I''m just joking with you! "Since you''re going to find Consort Xu, we won''t disturb you any longer."


    After saying that, the other concubines nodded to Seventh Seven and Sun''s mother before dispersing.


    Qi Qi looked at them hesitantly as they left, then turned her head to look at Sun Yiyi''s mom with eyes filled with worry.


    "Mama Sun, the wangfei treats me much more kindly than the rest. Will this cause trouble for the wangfei? Let everyone think that the wangfei was biased, but things were different? "


    "Don''t worry, Princess Hua-Yang doesn''t really care about all this trouble. Let''s hurry up and go. There''s still some distance to go between us, right?" Sun Yiyi''s mother seemed to be very used to this scene. She supported Qi Qi Qi and started walking in the direction of the west yard.


    Then he looked down at the road, his eyes lowered to hide the sarcasm in his eyes.


    It seemed that she had been treated as a target among a group of women. The wangfei had done this kind of thing quite a few times in the past. It seemed that she was quite familiar with this business.


    When he arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, he saw green bamboo growing in the yard through the doorway.


    Other women were all raising flowers and birds, but this Xu Sanguan was special, actually growing bamboo in the courtyard. Other women were all raising flowers and birds, but this Xu Sanguan was special, actually growing bamboo in the courtyard.


    "Ah, this Xu Sang Fei''s temper is really weird. Tell me, why do you plant so much bamboo?" The bamboo in the yard blocked even the sun''s rays. It was so bright that even the rays of the sun could not penetrate through. It was so eerie. I heard that the bamboo forest was attracting snakes! What kind of poisonous snake would enter the palace and bite someone? What should we do? "


    Sun Yiyi''s mother supported Qi Qi and whispered into her ear. At the same time, she kept checking left and right, afraid that snakes would really crawl out from the bamboo forests on both sides of the stone path.


    In his heart, however, he was secretly cursing. Could it be that so many of the servants in the Prince''s Mansion were raised for nothing? Xu Sang Fei loved the bamboo, so she naturally knew the special characteristics of the bamboo. She must have specially warned the servants about it; after all, it was not good if something happened in her yard.


    The Xu family had already heard the servant''s report as soon as they entered the courtyard. However, she indifferently sat by the bedside, playing with a small dog in her arms. She didn''t even tell the servants whether she should welcome the guests or not.


    Mother Chen stood at the side, tightly holding her hands, gently walking forward, "Mistress, we are not going to welcome you, is it alright? "After all ¡­"


    Without waiting for Mrs Chen to finish, Mrs Xu put down the puppy in her arms and turned to look at Mrs Chen, "What''s my identity? What''s her identity? Do you think it''s necessary to welcome her?"


    "That is true, but ¡­ "But Seventh Madame was pregnant after all ¡­"


    "Isn''t that what you''re going to say when she''s pregnant? "This is truly expensive for a mother to rely on. I don''t even know what kind of thing is in her stomach, but she''s already so delicate and precious." Mrs Xu interrupted Mrs Chen once again, a sarcastic smile on her face, the look in her eyes making it hard for people to understand.


    As soon as Mrs Xu''s voice fell, the servant girl''s announcement sounded. Mrs Chen looked down at the Xu, who was carefully looking at her finger, then hesitated for a good while. In the end, she decided to stand quietly at the side, no matter what the young miss decided, she would always stand by her side.


    "Madam Xu, sorry to trouble you! You don''t blame us for coming here without permission, do you? " Sun Yiyi''s mother first looked around the room, then lowered her voice and greeted: "It''s really Seventh Madame''s fault just now that annoyed you so much that she hurried over without even reporting."


    "Humph!" Is that so? So she came to apologize. I thought Sun Yiyi''s mother brought Seventh Madame here to flaunt her power. "


    Sun Yiyi''s mother''s face stiffened when she heard this, and then she burst out laughing a few times, saying: "I don''t dare, I don''t dare."


    Hearing Mrs Xu''s words, Mrs Chen couldn''t help but frown worriedly. She had said it well yesterday, but how did her attitude change in just the morning? How come Miss didn''t understand that she had to endure a bit of anger?


    The servants all over the yard were looking at her warily, and at this moment, Mama Chen looked even more worried. All of this proved that, although this Concubine Xu had a bad temper and had a bad reputation in the Prince''s Mansion, she was at least sincere towards the servants in her own yard, otherwise, no one would subconsciously protect her.


    Whether the servant was loyal to the master or not was a clear indication of the master''s character.


    Just like the Jiang Clan, although they had always portrayed themselves as magnanimous and upright, unwilling to punish others, seeing how even their most treasured grandson''s mother was wary of her and harboring resentment towards her, it was clear that she wasn''t a reliable person and was even extremely hypocritical.


    There are still two more!


    Mrs Xu lowered her head and fiddled with the cup lid in her hands, having no intention of opening her mouth to speak at all. Mrs Chen stood behind Mrs Xu, drooping her eyes and closing her mouth, looking like an old monk in meditation. The servants in the entire room were all standing there obediently with their hands down, their eyes fixed on the ground, very orderly.


    Sun Yiyi''s mother was so thick-skinned that she couldn''t smile anymore. She used her wide sleeves to hide herself and quietly pulled Qi Qi, and when Qi Qi turned to look at her, she gave her a look, indicating that she should speak.


    After seeing Sun Yiyi''s mother frown slightly, he let out a cough. He first looked up at Mrs Xu''s expression, then looked around at the servants in the surroundings, and then said timidly: "Qi Qi Qi knows what I said wrong this morning, and has provoked sister ¡­" The secondary concubine was angry, so she deliberately came to apologize. "


    After saying this, Qi Qi could only slightly kneel down, as if she was about to kneel down.


    Mrs Xu looked coldly at Seventh Seven''s actions. Even though Mrs Chen was secretly pulling on her sleeve to remind her, she still didn''t say anything, allowing him to kneel down.


    Seventh Madame was about to kneel down, and wanted to reach out and hold her, but before she could do so, the wangfei shot her a look. She immediately retracted her hand, which was already half-extended, and lowered her eyes to stand still.


    Seven Fields kneeled on the ground, bowed deeply to the Xu family, and then prostrated on the ground, saying sincerely," "Seven Fields is insensible, and has spoken wrongly. Please atone for your sins.


    As he spoke, Qi Qi Jian used the movement of withdrawing her hand to lightly tap on Sun Yiyi''s mother''s shoes.


    When Sun Yiyi''s mother felt Seventh Madame''s movements, she immediately understood and bent down to kneel towards her. "Esteemed wangfei, I''m afraid Seventh Madame doesn''t know the way, so this old servant brought Seventh Madame here. Now that Seventh Madame''s already here, this old servant will take his leave first."


    With that, without waiting for Xu Sanguan''s reply, she stood up and hurriedly left.


    As soon as Sun Yiyi''s mother left, she panicked. Hurriedly, she tugged at Mrs Xu''s sleeve and whispered into her ear, "Mistress, if mother Sun goes, I''m afraid ¡­"


    Mrs Xu was not in a hurry. She put down the teacup she had been holding in her hand and said to the people in the room, "You can all leave. Seventh Madame and I have something to say to each other."


    Everyone looked at each other for a moment, then went out one by one.


    "Mistress, this ¡­" "Leaving Seventh Madame alone like this, if something happens, Mistress you won''t be able to explain yourself." This Sun''s mother had brought Seventh Madame over, which in itself was a strange thing to do. Seventh Madame had kneeled down as soon as she arrived, while Sun Yiyi''s mother left as soon as she saw Seventh Madame kneel down. This whole thing seemed very strange.


    If esteemed wangfei and Seventh Madame had some sort of conspiracy, wasn''t it a fall into the trap to have their master dismiss them like that? If anything happened to Seventh Madame, where would they find out?


    "Don''t worry, close the door!" The Xu family had a calm expression, as if they could not understand the meaning behind Mama Chen''s words.


    "Master ¡­" Mrs Chen was about to persuade her again when Mrs Xu glared at her. She could only obey and go close the door.


    "Okay, get up. I know that you have felt wronged when you were kneeling. Right now, your status is extremely high, so I will not feel wronged by you." The Xu family had changed from their fiery temper from before. They coldly looked at Qi Qi, speaking with a cold tone.


    Thank you for your understanding, Consort Xu. Then I shall accept your request." Qi Qi Qi replied with a faint smile. He stood up calmly and patted the non-existent dust off his skirt. There was no trace of fear or unease on his face.

    "You really aren''t simple." The Xu family looked at Seventh Seven with sharp eyes.


    "Are there any simple people in the Duke Palaces? Elder sister Xu, aren''t you the same as us? We''re all masked men, and we''re only worth half a kilogram against eight taels of silver. " After Qi Qi Qi stood up, she casually picked a seat that was pleasing to the eye and sat there. She had no intention of being polite with the Xu family at all.


    "What''s your motive for pretending to be so innocent and harmless?" The Xu family stared fixedly at Seventh Seven, their expressions solemn and cautious.


    When Mommy Chen saw the current state of Seventh Seven, she couldn''t help but slightly open her mouth. Obviously, she never thought that the future Seventh Seven would look like this.


    "Ha!" Elder sister Xu''s words are completely foreign. Seven or seven people have too little wisdom, they only have to stay alive. "


    "Protect yourself!" The Xu family only repeated these two words softly, immediately understanding what seventy to seventy percent was. She once again picked up the teacup and drank a mouthful of tea. When she put down the teacup, she then took a deep breath.


    "Since it''s to protect your life, why did you tell me the truth today? If you really want to pretend, I believe you can completely hide it from me." When she thought back to the time at Princess Hua-Yang''s place, Qiqi had secretly made a face at her, causing her to be filled with confusion.


    "Pretending to be for the sake of preserving my life. Now, I''ve chosen to be honest with Big Sister Xu in order to preserve my life as well."


    "What do you mean?"


    "Elder sister Xu, do you really not understand? With my background, do you think I can protect this child?" There are so many women in the backyard of the prince''s mansion, don''t tell me that everyone has been unable to bear a child for so many years, if it''s a great disrespect, then if it''s true, then I''m afraid that the one who is in trouble is the prince, but I just had to serve the prince, and in such a short period of time, I got pregnant, which means that the prince has no problems, and the problem is the prince''s wife and concubine, otherwise how can there be such a coincidence, so many women can not bear a child, since it isn''t a coincidence, then it must be man-made. "Also, the problem might be with the prince, but it''s not that the prince himself has problems, but it''s possible that the actions were done on the prince. The person who did it should have been planning to avoid the other women, since he was unable to give birth to his own child."


    "Oh ~ ~ ~" Mrs Xu quietly listened to his analysis. When he stopped talking and looked at her, she gave an indifferent response.


    Qi Qi gave a faint smile. She understood what she had said. This Consort Xu Fang might have already understood it, but she still chose to finish what she had said.


    It''s been so long since I''ve seen her, and her concubines have such a deep background. If other women were to lay their hands on her eldest son, then her position would be unstable. If I were her, then I wouldn''t let other women threaten my position.


    "Is that so? If the truth is as you say, you shouldn''t be pregnant with a child. Moreover, the prince isn''t stupid, and even after Princess Hua-Yang did so many small actions, did she not notice anything at all? "


    Xu Sanguan looked calmly at Qi Hua and asked with a faint smile on her face.


    "Elder sister Xu is a person who understands. Why must you make my words so clear?" He then continued, "Since Big Sister Xu is interested in hearing what Seventh Madame has to say, then Seventh Seven will have to work hard at home. Seventh Seven''s status is low, there is no one to rely on, allowing someone like Seventh Seven to carry a child is not a threat to anyone. Once Seventh Seven Seven is born, it will be very easy for the prince to send the princess to his mother''s side. Even if they had, they would not dare to investigate further because of their own reputation and pride. "


    "You''re a man of your word. Since you can understand the situation so clearly, it shouldn''t be difficult for you to protect yourself. Why are you looking for me?" The Xu family did not agree to cooperate easily because of Qi Qi''s words. Instead, they continued to probe.


    I believe that Big Sister Xu will be given a position below the wangfei, and my heart is filled with grievances. I think that it would be better if we each took the position that you deserve, but I hope that I can have this child safely. If at that time Big Sister Xu doesn''t want to see this child in the Prince''s Mansion with me, then Seventh Brother will also leave in a clean and crisp manner, and he definitely won''t drag the mud and water to stay in the mansion. "


    Qi Qi Jian looked at the Xu family neither humbly nor arrogantly, and straightforwardly voiced out his thoughts.


    "Leave? "You are willing to leave?" At first, she thought that this Huang Qiqi had spent a lot of time and effort to meet the prince in the garden, then sided with the princess under her name, and had also earned the respect of the princess. Now, with the princess'' tacit approval, he was pregnant with the prince''s child.


    It doesn''t matter if you believe me or not, when I coincidentally met the Prince in the garden, he was not my wish and didn''t hide it from you. What Qi Qi Qi wanted was to be a couple for life, to grow old from the old age, to be loyal and devoted to each other, and not to be one of these concubines, nor to be a plaything for the Prince. What happened in the past can''t be changed, but in the future, Qi Qi still hopes that I can choose my own path.


    "Choose it yourself!? What a good choice! "Hahahaha." As if she had heard the funniest joke ever, the Xu family threw their heads back and laughed out loud. As they laughed, tears rolled down their faces.


    Qi Qi Qi did not say anything as she waited for Mrs Xu to finish laughing.


    After a long while, Mrs Xu took over the wet handkerchief offered by Mrs Chen and covered the corners of her eyes.


    "Do you know how difficult it is to choose yourself? How many people in this world can truly choose the life they want to live?"


    "I know it''s very difficult, but if I don''t do it then there''s no hope at all. Only after working hard for a while can I have a sliver of hope, and if I know that there''s a steel knife hanging over my head that could fall at any time, how could I be willing to die without working hard?"


    Mrs Xu was not in a hurry to reply. Instead, she looked at her quietly, as if she really wanted to see what she was thinking from her face.


    After all, the child in your stomach may be the only son of the prince. Even if I am willing to take the risk, the prince may not agree to let you leave the palace.


    "The only child? As far as I know, the Royal Concubine is actively looking for a good doctor to treat her cold ailment, and has already begun to show some results, at that time, the Royal Concubine will definitely secretly give the Royal Prince the antidote again so that he can conceive. Since the Princess is old now, it''s impossible for her to always keep the Prince around, as long as Elder Sister Xu finds a chance to bring the Prince to the West District during that time, it''s not impossible for her to impregnate a child. "


    "Child, I have suffered enough myself. I don''t want my own child to suffer as much as I do in this world." Xu Shi lowered her head to look at her stomach, murmuring in a low voice that others could not hear.


    Although he could not hear what the Xu family had said, he could guess from the sadness that was seeping out of her body.


    She couldn''t help but secretly sigh in her heart. Which woman in this backyard wasn''t pitiful? After marrying into the Prince''s mansion for so long, she always showed off her haughty attitude, making people think that she was just pretending instead of scheming. This was probably a disguise on her part.


    In the original plot, the Xu family had slowly faded out of sight due to Princess Hua-Yang''s plots. Although they still retained their title of side consort, in reality, they had already settled in the West District and were no longer in sight. Now that she thought about it, Princess Hua-Yang''s actions should have been within everyone''s expectations.


    Now that she wanted to force her out of the sect for the sake of her own plans, she didn''t know if those words would be able to move her.


    She had always known that the Miss was intelligent, and that the Miss''s headstrong and headstrong attitude was mostly an act. But she had originally thought that the Miss had an awkward position in the mansion, which was why she had no choice but to do it in order to scare off the servants. Now, it seemed that the Miss''s heart was like dying embers, which was why she hid herself like this.


    Recalling how he had asked the young miss to pull herself together and fight with the other women in the mansion, he couldn''t help but feel his heart ache. If the young miss didn''t want to be rich and powerful, and only wanted to live on in peace, then wouldn''t her words be forcing the young miss to do what she wasn''t willing to do?


    "Miss!" Mrs Chen wanted to say something but hesitated as she called out to Mrs Xu. In a moment of desperation, she had forgotten to call for a master in the Prince''s Mansion.


    She took a deep breath before saying, "Okay, I agree to work with you. You''re right, you have to live your own life, and you can''t just avoid it. Only when you have the initiative will you have the right to choose what kind of life you want to live."


    Hearing this, the corner of Qi Qi Qi''s mouth rose, before she raised the teacup in her hands, "Since Big Sister Xu has already made up her mind, then I''ll use tea in place of wine and wish you a happy cooperation with us."


    The Xu family slightly pursed their lips, bringing the teacup closer to their mouths and gulping down all the tea in the cup. Afterwards, they even tilted the teacup to seventy percent, indicating that they had finished drinking it all.


    When the time came, she would use this as an excuse to persuade the prince to put Big Sister Xu in confinement again for a period of time. Just now, before mother Sun left, I intentionally knelt down in front of her and told her to go and ask the prince. I''m afraid that the prince is about to arrive.


    "How do you want me to cooperate?"


    "Of course it''s to put on a show with a deep sisterly relationship. When the time comes, Elder Sister Xu will say that the action of me kneeling down just now gave you a big fright, and you immediately got someone to help me up, but I was determined to kneel down and apologize. You worrying about the child in my womb is truly difficult."


    Mrs Xu frowned slightly, "What''s the use of this? Other than dispelling the wangfei''s scheme, there''s no harm whatsoever for her at all."

 C41

    Big sister Xu, when the time comes, I will show some fear in front of the prince, and I will still insist on kneeling. When the time comes, you can ask me why I must kneel, and whether there is anything hard to say, and then I will secretly take a look at mother Sun, the prince is not a stupid person, he is just struggling in his own home. After all, I am pregnant with the son that the prince had painstakingly brought over, and he will pay more or less attention to the inner chamber because of the child in my womb.


    When the Xu family heard this, their already bright eyes lit up again. "Are you saying that Prince thinks that your hidden trouble is because of the wangfei?"


    "Yes, everything that has been done today is just to leave an impression on the Prince, and that is that the magnanimous and magnanimous wife in his eyes isn''t what he sees. The Prince misunderstood you this time, and even though the matter hasn''t been revealed, in his heart, he is still somewhat apologetic to you. When the time comes, you can ask the Prince to stay for a meal, and I trust the Prince won''t reject it."


    "Stay for dinner?" Not long after their marriage, Prince Chen had found another beauty, which allowed her to clearly see Prince Chen''s character. To be honest, she no longer held any hope for this man who held power in her heart. Now that she clearly knew that this man didn''t trust her, she could not help but put on a smile.


    "Big sister Xu, it''s more of a scheme if you don''t put up with it. While the prince feels guilty, tell him a story. I believe that the prince will find it easier to listen to."


    "A story?"


    "Yes, I will tell you a story you once read, about a landowner who married a landowner''s wife who could not bear to give birth. That wife was afraid that she would not give birth and was abandoned by the landowner, so she actually gave the landowner medicine which could not bear children. The landowner did not know that, under the arrangements of the landowner''s wife, she married a concubine who could not bear children, but after a while, she thought that she had no children and felt guilty towards her own wife. She believed that after so many years, she had married so many concubines, and after that, the landowner had abandoned her concubine and stayed by her old wife."


    "If I tell this story in front of the prince, will it arouse his suspicions and make him think that I''m telling this story to incite his wife?"


    "In the past, Your Highness might have thought so, but now that I''m pregnant, His Highness will not immediately think of framing this area, and will only view this story as being by an observer. However, after hearing this story, he will more or less leave an impression, and in the future, I will find an opportunity to let Your Highness know that Royal Concubine is currently seeking a Divine Doctor to treat her cold ailment. At that time, if Your Highness thinks of this story again, he will probably have some suspicions about Princess Consort."


    It was true that people would always be confused by the firms beside them. Something that the Prince hadn''t discovered in so many years couldn''t be related to her just because of a story she had casually told him. Most importantly, he was now pregnant, so there was something about the story that didn''t make sense to him.


    "Alright, that''s settled then."


    Just as Lady Xu finished her sentence, the servant girl''s voice came from outside, informing them that Prince Chen had arrived.


    After Lady Xu and Seventh Seven smiled at each other, they stood up, straightened their skirts, and stood to the side, waiting for the Prince to come in.


    After Prince Chen entered, he looked around coldly. Seeing Qi San standing to one side with his head lowered cautiously, he coughed dryly before stepping forward and holding onto the Xu Family''s hand.


    "It''s been a long time since I''ve come to see you, but I seem to have lost a bit of weight."


    Mrs Xu raised her head and looked at Sun Yiyi''s mother, who followed closely behind. Then, she looked up and smiled at Prince Chen, "Does Your Highness really care about me? I had thought that someone had complained and that the Prince was in such a hurry to rush over because of his heart aching for the beauty. "


    The muscles on Prince Chen''s face twitched slightly at the Xu Family''s merciless snatching of his face. In order to cover up his embarrassment, he laughed out loud: "Who else is prettier than you in this mansion''s backyard?"


    She sat down on the left side of the table, looking at Sun Yiyi with a smile that was not a smile, "Why did Sun Yiyi''s mother come back? Didn''t she say that bringing Seventh Madame over to me would be enough for the job?"


    "This... "This ¡­" Seeing that Mrs Xu was unwilling to let it go, Sun Yiyi''s mother hurriedly looked up at Prince Chen, hoping he would speak up for her, but Prince Chen avoided her eyes with a sip of tea.


    Sun Yiyi''s mother knew it was impossible for the prince to speak, so she turned her head to look at Qi Seven unwillingly, but she only saw the thick black bangs, unable to even make eye contact.


    "This old servant was worried about Seventh Madame ¡­" Knowing that no amount of explanation was of any use, Sun Yiyi''s mother could only stammer out an excuse for herself.


    "Worry!" Mrs Xu raised her tone even more, glancing sideways at the already frightened Sun Yiyi who was kneeling down, "What are you worried about? Are you worried that I will eat her, or that I will kill her? "


    "I don''t dare, I don''t dare, this old servant doesn''t dare!"


    "Humph!" I guess you wouldn''t dare, just based on your lackey''s ability, it''s probably the power of the person behind you. "


    When Prince Chen heard this, he knew that things would get worse if things went on like this. He put down the cup and deliberately coughed, "Alright, it''s all a misunderstanding. Don''t fuss about it."


    "Your Highness, now you ask me not to quibble, but if today I didn''t get Mommy Chen to help Seventh Madame up in time and you came in to see Seventh Madame kneeling on the ground, believing the slanderous words of some villains, wouldn''t you argue with me?" "Some things are not because I am fussy, but because I want to protect myself, I have to think about it a little more than I can."


    As she spoke up to here, she picked up the handkerchief and pressed it against the corners of her eyes, her face full of sadness and sadness. The Xu Family was born with a beautiful appearance, and normally they would only show their strong side.


    "Relax, relax. This King naturally will not misunderstand you." Since there were so many people present, Prince Chen couldn''t just hug Lady Xu directly. He had no choice but to cover her delicate and white hands with his own, gently caressing them to comfort her.


    "Your highness won''t misunderstand. Could it be that there''s no one in this prince''s estate who''s talking behind my back? They say that I was jealous of her and mistreated Seventh Madame?" With tears in her eyes, Mrs Xu glanced at Prince Chen, then turned to Seventh Madame and coquettishly said to Seventh Madame, "Seventh Madame, tell me, you''ve been in my room for so long, have I ever beaten or scolded you or punished you?"


    Qi Qi looked up timidly at Prince Chen, then turned her head to look at Sun Yiyi''s mother kneeling on the ground. She hesitated for a long time, but didn''t say anything.


    Prince Chen''s sharp eyes flickered, and he said to Seventh Brother in a gentle voice, "Just speak the truth. This duke guarantees that no one in this mansion will be able to investigate you afterwards. It''s just that you need to speak the truth."


    Qi Qi was so frightened that she quickly kneeled down and kowtowed. "Qi Qi Qi didn''t dare, Qi Qi didn''t dare," she explained in a soft voice, "because Qi Qi did not dare, and Qi Qi did not dare, and so she deliberately asked mother Sun to bring her son along to apologize to big sister Xu. Big sister Xu was magnanimous and magnanimous, and when Qi Qi had just kneeled down, she ordered mother Chen to help Qi up.


    Prince Chen looked doubtfully at the Xu family. This really didn''t seem like her character. According to her usual character, she would probably make use of this opportunity to make 70-70 kneel down. Why did it seem like a completely different person now?


    "I know that Your Highness doesn''t believe what Seventh Madame said, that I forced her to say this, but I can''t blame Your Highness for this. Who told me that I was ignorant before, and always had a little temper." As she said this, the Xu family looked up and glanced at Prince Chen, then quickly lowered her head, feeling wronged, "But in this one month that I''ve been grounded by Prince, I''ve really self-reflected on myself. I know where my mistakes were before, and I''ve changed my ways. Now that Prince doesn''t believe me, I''ll naturally be able to see through it as time passes."


    No matter how many questions Prince Chen had, when facing the tears of a beauty, he had no choice but to speak and calm down.


    "Look, look. I didn''t say anything. Why are you crying again? No one here said they don''t believe you." Hurry and stop crying, and let your subordinates just watch and laugh. "


    The Xu family turned around with a "hmph" as they tried to test the tears on her face. Although she didn''t say anything, her attitude seemed to have softened a lot.


    Prince Chen stared at the Sun''s mother who was still kneeling on the ground, causing her back to be drenched in cold sweat.


    After that, Prince Chen turned to look at the shivering Qi Hua kneeling on the ground, and couldn''t help but furrow his brow. In the end, his background wasn''t good, so he could only praise her everywhere; he was still a little too petty. This kind of delicate and pretty lady, occasionally tasting her food was fresh, but after a while, the taste would also fade.


    "Seven or seven, hurry up and get up. You''re already a man with two bodies, how can you just kneel? Even if you don''t care about yourself, you still have to care about the child in your belly."


    Hearing this, Seventh Madame''s shoulders shrank even more. Prince Chen looked at Seventh Madame''s awkward appearance, sighing lightly. He then called for the maidservant standing in the hall. "Hurry up and help Seventh Madame up. If there''s anything wrong, there''ll be some good food for you."


    After the servants had helped Qi Qi Qi up, Prince Chen motioned for the people in the hall to withdraw, "Alright, all of you leave. I''ll talk to Imperial Concubine Xu, mother Sun, since you were the one who brought Seventh Madame here, it''s better if you take Seventh Madame back to rest. Don''t play catch a shadow when there''s a storm, say it''s wind or rain, you don''t understand a single rule."


    How could Sun Yiyi''s mother dare to continue distinguishing between the two? She hurriedly acknowledged, stood up, and supported Qi Qi Jian out of the hall.


    From the corner of her eyes, the Xu family watched as the group of people retreated. The corners of their mouths curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile.


    Humph! It was too early to think of harming her. In the past, she didn''t want to fight for it, but now that she had the chance to fight for her rightful position, why wouldn''t she do it?

    "What is going on? Didn''t you say that you would drag it out until the prince arrives and put on a show in front of him?" Sun Yiyi''s mother led Qi Qi Qi out of the west yard. When she looked back and saw that there were no more people following them, she lowered her voice and scolded them harshly in his ear.


    Septimus shrank back, not even daring to turn his head around. He only blinked his eyes and said with an expression of panic, "I ¡­" I don''t know why, Sun Yiyi''s wife let her mother help me up right after you left. I wasn''t as strong as her mother, so she helped me up, and then ¡­ "After that, the Consort Xu looked at me and laughed, saying that I am not to be blamed for what happened in the morning, and that I should take good care of my health."


    "Is Concubine Xu really that good?" Sun Yiyi''s mother stared at Qi Qi Qi in disbelief, as if she wanted to tell something was wrong from her face.


    Qi Qi turned her body around in panic, then looked at Sun Yiyi with her eyes and nodded again and again.


    "It''s true, it''s true. Perhaps it''s just like what Princess Xu Wei and Prince said, after a month of confinement, she really repented. Or perhaps, Princess Xu Wei has thought it through and decided that the Prince likes a more pliable woman, so he wants to change himself according to the prince''s preference?"


    "Humph!" "Only someone with such a simple mind would believe such nonsense. If Consort Xuelang can become soft and pliable, then even that sow would be able to climb a tree. As the saying goes, changing one''s nature is difficult, but you are not Consort Xu!" After Sun Yiyi''s mother finished speaking, she lowered her eyes in thought.


    Qi Qi glanced at Mrs Xu from the corner of her eyes, a smile flashing in her eyes.


    "No, we have to report this to the wangfei as soon as possible. What kind of thoughts are hiding in her stomach?" If we don''t take precautions in time, I''m afraid that the wangfei will suffer a loss. "


    "The wangfei was the original wife of the prince and the proper mistress of the palace. Although Xu Sang''s family background is also very good, how could she let the wangfei suffer a loss?"


    Qi Qi looked at Sun Yiyi with a confused look on her face.


    Sun Yiyi''s mother unhappily rolled her eyes at Qi Qi. "Do you think that the life of an imperial concubine is very smooth sailing?" If it wasn''t for the fact that that person had yet to give birth to a child and a woman, how could the wangfei still be sitting on that person''s back safely? "


    "Is the body of Consort Xu not suitable for conception? Otherwise, how can I marry her for three years without any news? "


    Even though she already knew in her heart that the Jiang Clan must have done something to Prince Chen''s body, after all, there was no evidence. If they couldn''t find evidence, then all this speculation could only be a guess, they couldn''t tell anyone else. Deny it, if this news was leaked out, then her and the Xu Clan''s little lives might end up in the Prince''s Mansion.


    "Ha!" If the wangfei doesn''t have a child, which woman in the backyard is fit for a pregnancy? " As soon as she finished speaking, Sun Yiyi''s mother realized that she had said the wrong thing. She quickly looked up and saw that she was still confused, so she let out a sigh of relief.


    "That''s enough, don''t even think about it. You just need to take care of yourself. The other princesses have their own plans for you. Once you give birth to a child, you will be able to enjoy endless wealth."


    As soon as the conversation came to an end, Qi Seventh already saw the main entrance to the wangfei''s courtyard. At this moment, a maidservant was already peeking her head out from within the door, waiting for them.


    As soon as Sun Qiqi''s mother saw this, she handed him over to the maidservant behind her. She then quickly walked toward the main house.


    He turned around and walked back to his own small courtyard. Sun Yiyi''s mother was really tight-lipped, and with just that bit of information, she was already on guard. It looked like she had to find a way to get to the princess'' case as soon as possible.


    After returning to his own courtyard, he sent out all of the maidservants in his room. With the excuse of rushing down from the morning, he was a little tired. He had already rested quite a bit during this period, so it did not arouse anyone''s suspicions.


    As soon as the door closed, Qi Qi Qi immediately sat up on the bed. First, she quietly listened to the sounds outside the door for a while, and after confirming that there was no one outside, she quietly walked to the door and locked it from the inside. Then she turned around and walked to the window on the north side of the bedroom.


    Her window allowed her to see the north entrance of the main courtyard. She had been paying attention to this place for several days now, and whenever it was time, an old servant carrying a medicine box would be led in from the north gate.


    Later on, she had made sure to keep an eye out for people in the Prince''s Mansion, and she had also indirectly asked about it. There were no servants of this age in the Prince''s Mansion.


    The man had a strong scent of books, and he looked more like a scholar than a servant. Judging from his behavior, he must be an old man.


    If she was sick, there would be many imperial physicians who would come to see her, so there was no need for her to look for a doctor. If a servant of the hospital was sick, even a decent wet nurse like Mama Sun would not be qualified to have a doctor come to the hospital to treat her.


    It was obvious that this person didn''t want others to identify him, which was why he was dressed as a servant. With this analysis, this person should be invited by the wangfei to see some illness that was inconvenient for imperial doctors.


    In addition, Princess Hua-Yang had not appeared for many years, which was why she told Xu Sanguan that Princess Hua-jie should have the disease of cold seven or seven years ago.


    The reason why he had told his wife was because she had once seen this doctor smile so widely while holding a heavy bag in his hand. She had seen the color of this bag in the Princess Courtyard, and when the Crown Princess rewarded those who were capable, she would usually reward this kind of bag. The bag in the bag contained Jin Zizi, a very precious treasure.


    For a doctor to receive such a high reward, other than the patient''s condition being improved, what else could it be?


    After quietly waiting for a while, the northern corner door was indeed pushed open by someone from the outside. Qi Qi Qi hid herself behind the door and peeked out through the window again, only to see a maid that she had seen walking in with a husband in her room. This maid was also whispering in his ear from time to time.


    After the doctor had finished listening, he slightly creased his brow and asked a few more questions. As he did so, he walked towards the royal concubine''s courtyard with even more hurried steps.


    Qi Qi Qi watched the two leave, then closed the window and went back to sit on the edge of the bed. Then, she immediately sat up. No, something must have happened. That was why the doctor had such an expression.


    Qi Qi counted the time with her fingers. It hadn''t been long since she came out of the west yard, and she didn''t know whether or not Xu Sanguan had told Prince Chen that story. Even if she had, if she had used some tricks to keep him here, would Prince Chen have felt that the timing was too coincidental and suspected instead?


    Rubbing her still flat belly, Qi Qi clenched her fists and decided to take the opportunity to keep the doctor. She had a feeling that if she didn''t make a decision on the spot, she would very likely give up on her previous efforts. Moreover, her movements were still quite fluid. If she didn''t take care of everything now, then it would be too late to make plans when her stomach was too big for her to act on.


    Today was the first time, and there were still two more. In addition, he also asked for everyone''s opinion. The "Deadly Concubine" was about to end. What kind of female essay did they want to see next? Just leave a message for everyone to think about,


    After making up his mind, Qi Qi stood up and went to unlock the door, then lay back down on the bed. He messed up his hair, took off his coat and put it aside before calling for someone.


    Not long after, the sound of a maidservant knocking on the door could be heard.


    "Come in!" Qi Qi Qi purposely used a dreamy voice that she had just woken up to reply to.


    She had already been taken in by the prince, but the time was still short so the prince didn''t really like her. Therefore, she was still working on the maid, unlike Qi Qi Qi, who became half a master because she was pregnant.


    Of course, Cui Huan was unwilling to accept this in her heart, but she didn''t have the strength to blame anyone. She could only silently hate this person in her heart, thinking that one day, she could also fly up the tree branch and become a phoenix.


    "After sleeping for so long, I feel dizzy instead. In a while, you will accompany me to take a walk outside. After you feel better, we can have lunch." Qi Qi ignored the unintentional dissatisfaction on Cui Li Huan''s face, and said to Cui Huan who was giving her a hairpin while shaving her sideburns in front of the mirror.


    "Yes," Cui Huan replied, but she pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, her heart secretly mocking. She really thought of herself as a master, only a pawn in the hands of the wangfei. If it weren''t for the wangfei''s benevolence, where did this little girl, who had no one to rely on in the mansion, get so lucky?


    After adjusting his makeup, 77 led Jade Ring straight to the north.


    Cui Huan had been in her courtyard for a long time. Usually, she would only do things like send messages to monitor the situation, so how would she know the true secret of the princess? So when she saw Ji Yunhuang heading north, she only felt a little strange and didn''t think too much about it.


    "Seventh Madame, there''s usually no one to the north. It''s very desolate, why are you going that way?"


    Qi Qi woke up the non-existent sweat on her forehead with the handkerchief. "It''s just that the north side is quiet and devoid of people, so I started walking towards that direction. It''s safer for me to walk to a place devoid of people, so as to avoid being knocked into by others.


    Cui Huan thought about it for a while, then silently followed Qi Qi Qi to the north.


    After arriving at the small clearing to the north, Qi Qi found a shady corner and sat down on a platform. This place happened to be around the corner, and no one could be seen coming out from Princess Hua-Yang''s yard. However, she was able to see the situation clearly with the help of the green lilies hanging from the fake mountain behind her.


    Just when Cui Huan stood impatiently behind Qi Qi, Qi Qi finally saw the old man walk over with Sun Yiyi''s mother.


    She turned her head slightly to the side and whispered to Cui Huan, "We''ve been out for a long time, and we''re really angry now. Help me up, let''s go back. After sitting there for so long, my feet are a bit numb, and I can''t get up."


    Qi Qi stretched out her hand to support the jade ring, looking like she couldn''t stand up, and slightly leaned towards the jade ring. Her timing was very good, the moment she stood up, the figures of Sun Yiyi''s mother and husband appeared at the corner.


    He gave a startled cry, then leaned back slightly and fell down onto the platform where he had been sitting. It looked very large, but she had deliberately lowered her strength so that it would not affect the fetus in her womb.


    However, a pained look appeared on her face. One of her hands was tightly holding onto Jade Ring while the other was covering her lower abdomen.

 C43

    Sun Yiyi''s mother was startled by the sudden appearance of these two men, but when she looked at Seventh Seven and his appearance, she instantly became flustered. How could this be good, this child was an imperial concubine preparing to use him in the future if he couldn''t bear a child of his own, so that he could rely on him.


    Moments later, Sun Yiyi''s mother suddenly remembered that a doctor was standing beside her. The child''s matter was more important, so it was better for him to take a look first. Moreover, this girl Qi Qi was very stupid. When the time came, she could make up a lie to fool him.


    "Doctor Li, hurry up and take a look. Seventh Madame is pregnant, is that a matter you shouldn''t be worried about?" Could it be that she has gotten pregnant? "


    Initially, Doctor Li had also wanted to come forward to see her. After all, the heart of a doctor''s mother was a part of him, and it was only because of the instructions from the wangfei that no one in the mansion dared to step forward except servants of the mansion and those who were told not to reveal their identity as doctors. Now, with the instructions from Sun Yiyi''s mother, and remembering that the pregnant man could be scared witless, he immediately opened the medicine box, took out his pulse pillow and pressed it.


    After meditating for a while, Doctor Li heaved a sigh of relief. "It''s just that I''ve suffered a little shock. I should be fine. I''ll just need to boil an ordinary pill and take it."


    Hearing Doctor Chen''s words, Sun Yiyi''s mother was relieved. She instructed Cui Huan to carry Qiqi back to her room to rest, while she herself led Doctor Chen out of the North Gate hastily.


    Seventh Seven turned around and glanced at the figures of these two, his eyes revealing a hint of a smile.


    He turned his head to the side and sighed to Cui Huan, "I was really frightened just now, but my stomach suddenly hurt, and I was worried to death. I was afraid that if there was a chance that the child would have a chance, I couldn''t explain it to the prince, but fortunately, mother Sun let Doctor Chen see for me. Only with him can I feel at ease."


    After hearing what Shi Yan had said, Cui Huan didn''t say anything. Instead, she knitted her eyebrows and looked confused.


    "What''s wrong with you? Why is there such an expression on your face? "


    "Seventh Madame, I''ve never seen this doctor before. In the past, when the imperial doctors came to give the imperial concubine her safety vein, they always took it through the main gate and never took it through the northern gate?" There was no doubt in Cui Huan''s mind. She directly said the doubt in her heart, but she didn''t expect that it would become evidence.


    "That''s not right, since mother Sun said that the old man is a doctor, then he must be a doctor. And look at how he felt when he took my pulse. That''s enough, stop guessing randomly. Me? As long as the child is fine, it''s fine. As for the rest, I''m not asking for anything. "


    Cui Huan''s mouth twitched as she looked at Qi Qi, who seemed to have no ambition, and her heart was full of disdain. She didn''t think about herself, she just wanted to eat, drink, and climb up. It was good to have a child, but what about a daughter? When that time comes, let''s see what you can take out to brag about yourself.


    Qi Qi glanced at the expression on Cui Huan''s face, but didn''t say anything. She only lowered her head and smiled, as if she had everything to do, but then, with a groan, her lips turned completely white. She frowned and cried out, "Cui Huan, my stomach hurts."


    If something happened to Seventh Madame, she wouldn''t be able to wash herself clean even if she jumped to the Yellow River. All of a sudden, she turned around and ran out, yelling, "Seventh Madame, don''t worry, I''ll go call the prince and the princess right now."


    It was now lunchtime. The other maidservants in the yard had probably gone to prepare their own meals. Cui Huan was shouting like this, but unexpectedly, no one was lured in.


    Qi Qi smiled as she stuffed the flour in her hand under the pillow, then gently rubbed her lips a few times, making the originally sudden white knead more comfortable. At this moment, even if she looked closely, she could not see the abnormality on her lips.


    Very soon, a flurry of footsteps came from the courtyard. Qi Qi Qi quickly closed her eyes and frowned, and a sickly, pale look appeared on her face. It was obvious that she was enduring an excruciating pain.


    "What happened? Wasn''t it fine just now?" "How did you become pregnant in such a short time?"


    Prince Chen led the way into the room. As soon as he entered, he sat down on the edge of the bed and grabbed onto Seventh Brother''s hand as he asked anxiously. He had finally gotten this child with great difficulty. He did not dare to continue thinking about it. He turned his head and urged the butler behind him to follow him.


    "Butler, when will this imperial physician arrive? Why don''t you go and rush him?"


    There were several imperial doctors'' residences near the palace, so it was too late to go to the palace to ask for them. Thus, Prince Chen ordered his subordinates to find all the imperial doctors they could find.


    Qi Qi held Prince Chen''s hand, closed her eyes, endured the pain, and said softly, "Prince, Qi Qi is fine. Qi Qi was just scared, so she got a little pregnant. Sun''s mother had already asked Doctor Li to look over Qi Qi. Doctor Li said Qi Qi was fine. You just need to take a set of birth control pills.


    "If there''s nothing serious, then why does it hurt so much? Why is my face so white? "Also, who is this Doctor Li?" When Prince Chen heard these words, the first thing that came to mind was that someone was trying to harm his son. Various conspiracy theories flooded his mind, and he couldn''t help but shift his sharp eyes to look at the Jiang family and Sun Yiyi who followed closely behind him.


    "Sun Yiyi, who is the doctor Qiqi mentioned?"


    When she heard Prince Chen ask such a cold question, and to Doctor Li as well, Sun Yiyi''s mother couldn''t help but tremble all over, and her feet went soft, and she fell to her knees with a ''shua'' sound. She trembled as she kneeled in front of the bed, and moved her mouth, but she didn''t know how to explain.


    Look at how nervous Prince is, this Doctor Li is just an old Chinese medical doctor I found outside. Sun Yiyi''s health isn''t very good these days, but I can''t break the rules and let the imperial physician treat her. After all, Li''s mother has been with me for so many years.


    The Jiang Clan tightened the grip on the handkerchief in their hands, but their face was calm. These words were reasonable, but she ignored the question that flashed past Cui Huan''s face.


    If the Jiang Clan ignored it, it did not mean that Prince Chen ignored it. In the past, he did not care about the ruckus in the courtyard, but that did not mean that he didn''t know. Now that this matter concerned his son, he could not help but ignore it.


    "Cui Huan, tell me, when that Chinese doctor saw Seventh Madame just now, what did he do?"


    Originally, Cui Huan was just standing there, thinking that it was her turn to say something, but when she heard that the prince actually wanted her to answer, she knew that there were some things she couldn''t say, but now she couldn''t either.


    She kneeled down with a thump. After a long time, when Prince Chen gave an impatient snort, she replied, "Just now, that old doctor dressed up like a servant. Furthermore, he left through the North Gate where no one passed through. So this servant felt that it was a bit strange. "


    Just as she finished speaking, Cui Huan felt a chill from Wang Consort''s position. She subconsciously shrank her neck and knelt down even lower.


    No one wants to see the type of story? If there is, do not hesitate to leave an opinion


    "Look at this girl making a fuss, what''s so strange about that? She''s going to treat the servants in the mansion, but then she''s going to gather so many people to ask for a Chinese medicine. This is against the rules after all, so in order to not cause unnecessary trouble in the palace, letting the old Chinese medicine cover it up is also very normal!"


    The Jiang Clan didn''t wait for Prince Chen to speak and explained with a forced smile. However, she didn''t expect that her current behavior would be as good as nothing. Prince Chen was already wary of her actions.


    However, this was not the best time to interrogate him. The child''s safety was the most important thing.


    When his gaze swept past the quiet and indiscernible Consort Xu, he saw her nod her head. He immediately understood that she must have already told Prince Chen the story that she had told him.


    The situation had progressed very smoothly. Seeing that the medicine she had given him today was already quite fierce, Qi Qi Qi couldn''t help but be too late. She was also prepared to temporarily give up.


    As a result, she opened her eyes and shook Prince Chen''s hand, saying gently, "Prince, you don''t need to pursue this matter anymore. Qiqi is fine, she''s a lot better now, Doctor Li said she was just frightened, it''s just that she was very useless. It''s just that she was scared when someone suddenly appeared around the corner, and now Qiqi is no longer in pain.


    The more they tried to justify the Jiang Clan, the more Prince Chen frowned. When he recalled the story of the old landowner that the Xu had unintentionally mentioned, his suspicions grew. This matter was definitely not that simple.


    At this time, Qi Qi had already calmed down a lot, and her expression of patience had disappeared. It was as she had said, it was indeed much more comfortable, but this matter concerned her son, so Prince Chen insisted on waiting for the imperial physician to visit before he could relax.


    After a short while, a few footsteps could be heard from outside. Everyone looked outside at the same time and saw two imperial physicians, led by a servant, walking hurriedly towards the courtyard.


    During the entire process of the consultation, Prince Chen sat on the chair by the bed, coldly gazing at the people in the room, especially the Jiang clan. Prince Chen''s gaze had rested on her for a much longer time than others.


    When the time came, she would silently send people to kill Doctor Li. With no proof, the prince wouldn''t be able to do anything to her even if he were to die. But now, when the prince''s eyes fell on her, he still felt a prickling sensation in his back.


    "Your Highness, Seventh Madame is fine. She''s just a little bit pregnant. All she needs to do is take some baby antidote and recuperate in peace."


    After the two imperial physicians took turns checking the pulse, they gathered the opinions of both parties and only then did the slightly older one start to report. When they checked the pulse, they really didn''t feel anything strange, but since they had so many people looking for them, they definitely couldn''t say that they were fine. They could only half-heartedly report that they had said something that was equivalent to not saying anything at all.


    Seeing that Qi Qi Jian seemed to be in better health, and that there were two imperial physicians'' diagnoses, the Prince relaxed his expression and instructed her to rest well, alerting the servants in the courtyard, before leading them out of the courtyard.

 C44

    When Madame Jiang returned to the main courtyard, she ordered the servants in the room to withdraw. She turned around, raised her hand, and slapped Sun Yiyi''s mother.


    The Jiang family''s slap was very powerful. A red and swollen palm imprint instantly appeared on Sun Yiyi''s mother''s face. Sun Yiyi''s mother covered her face and didn''t dare to cry out in pain. She obediently knelt in front of the Jiang family, not daring to say a single word.


    "What happened to you? I didn''t want you to send Doctor Li out of the room without making any noise, so why did you cause such a ruckus until everyone in the household knows about it?"


    The Jiang Clan took in a few deep breaths and knew that there was no use in getting angry now. After suppressing the anger in their hearts with great effort, they finally asked about what had happened so that they could make up for it as soon as possible.


    "As per usual, I sent Doctor Li to the north corner of the mountain, but who would have known that Seventh Madame and Cui Huan were sitting around the corner of the fake mountain, there were many vines hanging from them, and this old servant didn''t see them. As soon as we got there, Seventh Madame and Cui Huan were also about to walk back, and we almost bumped into each other, so Seventh Madame was startled, and her abdominal pain became unbearable.


    "You were only frightened and exposed Doctor Li''s identity. Do you know how important Doctor Li is to me?" I secretly saw so many doctors taking so much bitter medicine just to conceive a child. It wasn''t easy for this Doctor Li''s medicine to work on me, but you actually exposed Doctor Li for such a lowly girl! " The more the Jiang Clan talked, the angrier they got, and their voices couldn''t help but become sharper.


    "Old servant ¡­" Old Slave... This old servant had the wrong thoughts at the moment. He thought that if wangfei could keep this child, it''d be of great use ¡­ "So ¡­"


    "It''s of great use!? If I can conceive a child, what''s the use of that child, sooner or later it''ll have to be disposed of, you old fool, spoiling my plans. "


    The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Since the prince had already suspected Doctor Li''s identity, she had to remove him as soon as possible. However, this way, her illness would be delayed.


    However, if she could take the risk of having Doctor Li stay and ask him if he had the disease, how would she be able to stand up in the future? What was even more frightening was that if the prince suspected that she had been living in the palace for years, then even her own life would not be enough to overcome it. Perhaps, even the entire Jiang family would be buried along with her.


    No, he couldn''t risk his life and place the Jiang Clan in such a dangerous position because of a single Doctor Li. He had to kill him.


    "There''s no need to say anything else now. Hurry up and send someone to find Doctor Li and get rid of him secretly. Don''t leave any traces behind, do you understand?" This time, if you do anything wrong again, don''t come back to see me. "


    Sun Yiyi''s mother raised her head to look at the Jiang family, but she was immediately scared by the hostility on her face and lowered her head. She repeatedly said: "Yes, yes, this old servant will go handle it with someone!"


    Sun Yiyi''s mother had just sneaked out from the back door of the mansion when a figure followed her out the back door without a sound.


    When she found the hoodlum in the city and went to Doctor Li''s house, there was actually not a single person in the room. The bedroom was a mess, as if there were traces of someone struggling inside.


    "This is bad!" Sun Yiyi''s mother did not know what was going on, but her intuition told her that something bad was about to happen. She was afraid that the matter with the wangfei was going to get exposed, so she did not dare to go back to the palace. She sent off these local thugs and planned to return to her house outside the mansion to let the old man pack his luggage and quickly leave this dangerous place.


    But as soon as Sun Yiyi and her mother stepped out of Doctor Li''s house, they were stopped by several muscular men in front of the door.


    "Speak, what did the Jiang Clan want you to do?" Prince Chen sat on a wide wooden chair. In the dark dungeon, only the flame illuminated one area. With this light, one could see that Sun Yiyi''s mother''s body was covered with scars, and her hair was messy.


    "Old servant ¡­" Old Slave... "Unjustified ¡­"


    Without waiting for Sun Yiyi''s mother to finish speaking, Prince Chen moved his fingers, and the guard standing by the side whipped Sun Yiyi''s mother again. Because of the pain, Sun Yiyi''s mother trembled like a sieve.


    "Think about it carefully. Since This King can get people to capture you, I have no intention of listening to your nonsense. Even if you don''t think for yourself, you should think for your family."


    Sun Yiyi''s mother closed her eyes in despair. When they arrived at the dungeon, she didn''t even hope for a chance to get out, so she clenched her teeth and persisted all the way until now just so that she could hear some news and come to save her, or let go of her family. If that was the case, then she would be dead, but now that the prince had already moved out her family, then she had no other choice.


    When she opened her eyes once again, her eyes were already filled with death, "Prince, this old servant said everything, but I ask that you let this old servant''s family go. They are innocent and do not know anything."


    "That depends on your performance." Prince Chen narrowed his eyes, absent-mindedly turning the jade thumb ring in his hand. Originally, he had only been suspicious and wanted to swindle this mother of his. He hadn''t thought that he would actually be able to swindle the truth out of her.


    "That Doctor Li ¡­" As for Doctor Li, he is the woman who was found by this old servant outside the residence. As his wife has the disease of cold, it is exceptionally difficult for her to become the son of a son, but she does not dare to let others know that it might harm her position in the residence. Thus, she has always asked this old servant to find a Chinese medicine outside the residence to treat her. "


    "Even if the doctors outside the palace were to diagnose the illness, they would still send imperial doctors from the palace over every day. Why can''t they tell that the princess is suffering from cold?"


    Prince Chen glanced at his mother and calmly asked.


    Sun Yiyi''s mother pursed her lips, a trace of disdain flashing across her eyes. "This old servant doesn''t know if those imperial physicians are truly capable, but this old servant knows that as long as wangfei gives them a little favor, they will be able to write a message saying that everything is fine."


    "Oh ~ ~ is that so? What a bunch of useless people. Continue talking. "


    She wanted to know how much he knew from his expression, and whether she could hide the most important part from him. At least this way, she would have a chance of survival, or else if the wangfei knew that she had revealed such an important secret, even if the wangfei was willing to let her go, the wangfei would take her life.


    However, Prince Chen raised his eyebrows and that faint smile on his face, causing her to completely give up. She resigned herself to her fate and poured out everything she knew like beans poured out.


    "Wangfei can''t have children, but she''s afraid that the other concubines in the mansion would have children before her, so she''s afraid that if she makes a move on so many concubines, it might leak out instead, so ¡­" Sun Yiyi''s mother didn''t dare to continue saying these words.


    Prince Chen''s heart sank as his mother said this. Originally, he was only guessing, but he didn''t believe that his wife would have the guts to attack him. But now, in front of the truth, what else could he say?


    "So you drugged me so that I wouldn''t have children!" Prince Chen patted the chair handle, and the excessive force broke it.


    Sun Yiyi''s mother was shocked, but she did not dare to answer.


    Prince Chen took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "Tell me, when did this start?" "If you really drugged me without giving birth, then where did the child in Seventh Madame come from?"


    At this moment, Prince Chen''s face was starting to turn slightly green. This was the sign of burning his heart, and thinking about how his wife would do such a cruel thing to him for her own benefit, and also thinking about the possibility that the child he hoped for might be a bastard born of his own woman and another man, he was sitting here with a determined heart.


    "From... Yue Xin would come to the imperial physician a day or two later to check her pulse, so she already knew about the cold condition at that time. Originally, the imperial concubine didn''t want to drug the princess, but the princess hadn''t seen her in pregnancy for a long time, so she slowly began to favor the concubine in the backyard. Several of the concubines had personally treated her, so ¡­ That''s why Princess Hua-Yang''s thoughts were wrong at the moment. "


    Sun Yiyi''s mother stole a glance at Prince Chen''s expression and saw that he was clenching his teeth so hard that he wanted to tear himself apart. She quickly lowered her head and said in an urgent voice, "Actually, even you are in love with the prince, so the weight of this medicine isn''t that high, so as long as you slowly break the dosage and add on some more antidotes, the prince can still have a son. Seventh Madame, Seventh Madame''s child came by just like that, afraid that the cold in her palace won''t heal, and worried that the prince really won''t have a heir."


    "Humph!" "Only she knows whether she''s worried that I won''t have a chance or that Seventh Madame''s status is low and won''t pose a threat to her."


    Seeing Sun Yiyi''s mother kneeling on the ground, not daring to answer, he opened his mouth and asked: "Since Seventh Madame has already stopped serving this prince, why haven''t the other concubines in the backyard heard any news of a pregnancy after so long?"


    "Yes ¡­" "After Seventh Madame got pregnant, esteemed wangfei once again ¡­" At this point, Sun Yige''s mother did not dare to continue, but the underlying meaning of her words was enough for Prince Chen to understand the truth.


    "She''s quite good at scheming. This prince thinks that she is extremely careful with her meals. How did she drug This King, and by whom?"


    "The prince carries a scented sachet that was personally sewn by the princess. In addition, the incense in the prince''s study was also personally made by the princess herself."


    "So that''s how it is. She really meant it. To think that I thought she was such a virtuous and virtuous woman, but in the end I actually ended up falling in the hands of my own wangfei, delaying the reproduction of my son for so many years. Good, good, the Jiang family is easy to raise, they have raised such a wicked woman!" Instead of getting angry, Prince Chen laughed, but the meaning in his words made people shudder.


    She knew that since she had told him about the secrets of the Prince''s Mansion today, she would definitely have no way of surviving. She only hoped that the Prince would spare her family''s lives on account of her honesty, but now, no matter what, she didn''t dare open her mouth to plead on behalf of her family. She was afraid that the Prince would be so angry that he would immediately order her to capture them.


    "Back then, for the Jiang Clan to be able to smoothly carry out their plan, I''m afraid this servant of yours must have contributed quite a bit, no?" Although Prince Chen''s words were a question, the meaning was very clear.


    Mama Chen did not dare to lie and could only obediently nod her head, but she immediately replied, "Please spare me, Your Highness. I am only listening to your orders, I beg Your Highness to spare me."

 C45

    With Sun Yiyi''s mother''s confession and the fact that Chen Wang had taken the Jiang Clan''s case from Doctor Li, the only thing left to do was to find the prescription and medicine for the sterilization medicine given by the Jiang Clan.


    As matters stood, Prince Chen no longer had the mood to deal with the Jiang clan. He used the most direct and effective method, and before the Jiang clan even discovered the disappearance of his mother, he made the first move.


    When Prince Chen kicked the door open to enter his room, the Jiang Clan quickly stuffed a small wooden box under the blanket.


    When the Jiang Clan saw Prince Chen use such a crude method to barge in with a face covered in frost, she immediately understood in her heart that her worries had been fulfilled. It was just that at present, she still didn''t know how much of the truth Prince Chen knew.


    Chen Wang didn''t waste his breath and made a hand gesture to the butler behind him. The butler didn''t have a shred of concern for his mistress'' room and brought his underlings to the front of the Jiang Clan. He didn''t care about his anger and directly pulled away the Jiang Clan''s hand that was tightly clutching the blanket.


    Even though the Jiang Clan already knew that their fate was sealed, they still chose to make their final desperate struggles.


    "Prince, I am the matriarch who is in charge of this palace. Even if I don''t do anything well, you shouldn''t let your servant intrude into my inner chamber so easily. How am I going to manage this mansion in the future?"


    "Humph!" "What a great mistress in charge!" Prince Chen took the wooden box from the butler and opened it. With a quick glance, he threw the entire box on the face of the Jiang Clan.


    "Is the medicine in here the Calming Incense that you''ve made for Ben Wang?"


    The Jiang clan lowered their heads to look at the shattered wooden box and the medicine scattered on the ground, their mouths tightly shut, not saying a single word. At this moment, everything was wrong, and since Prince Chen could ask such a question, it meant that he was very clear in his heart about what was inside.


    "What is it? You know your own things, right? "


    The Prince Chen did not plan to let the Jiang family off just like that. After all, no one would be able to endure his betrayal. Furthermore, the person next to his bed was not anyone else, but his wife.


    Lady Jiang stared blankly at the ground for a long time. After a while, she raised her head and looked at Prince Chen. Her eyes were unexpectedly very calm. "Prince, your mother was taken away by you, right?"


    Other than Sun Yiyi''s mother, no one else knew about the medicine given to the prince. Now that the prince knew the truth of the matter, the way to obtain this information was now unknown.


    Seeing Prince Chen''s cold face and not wanting to waste words with her, the Jiang clan couldn''t help but burst out laughing.


    "Prince, you only know how ruthless I am, why don''t you think about how heartless you are? There is a sentence that I have held in my heart for a very long time. "Of all the women in the courtyard, which one of them has the prince been sincere to?"


    Without waiting for Prince Chen''s reply, the Jiang clan bitterly smiled and shook her head, "No, Prince. In your eyes, women are only representatives of the forces behind them. They do not have the qualifications to be remembered by you for anything else. When the late emperor passed away, you needed a strong alliance to help you consolidate your position so that the new emperor would not take advantage of you. Thus, you married Prime Minister Xu''s daughter to serve as your secondary wife. Why don''t you think about it? The human heart is made of meat, if you don''t treat people sincerely, will anyone treat you sincerely? Since you have no intentions towards me, and I am not scheming for myself, do I have to wait until I''m old enough to be kicked out? "


    Facing the Jiang Clan''s accusation, Prince Chen did not feel that he was at fault. He only felt that the Jiang Clan was selfish and evil, and did not want to continue listening. With a wave of his hand, a guard came from behind to suppress the Jiang Clan, and prepared to drag them into the dungeon.


    "Wait." He suddenly thought of something, and Prince Chen once again spoke out to stop the guard''s movements.


    "Jiang Clan, where''s the antidote?" After all, Sun Yiyi''s mother had also said that as long as he stopped the medicine for a period of time, as well as the antidote, he would be able to recover his fertility. However, in order to avoid trouble and to recover his body, he still chose to directly ask the Jiang Clan.


    "Hahaha, it''s rare for Your Highness to still remember about the antidote. I thought Your Highness didn''t care if I could give birth or not."


    "Cut the crap, hurry up and take out the antidote." Prince Chen tightly knitted his brows and coldly stared at the Jiang Dynasty. At that very instant, every time he looked at the Jiang Dynasty, he felt annoyed. This woman caused him, at his age, to only have a single child, and even have such a lowly birth mother.


    "If Your Highness wants the antidote, that''s fine, but you have to agree to one of my conditions!"


    He knew that he was already dead for sure, but the Jiang Clan still hoped to exchange this antidote for the Jiang Clan''s only chance of survival.


    "Do you think you have the qualifications to negotiate with me?"


    "Your highness must discuss this with me. If you don''t agree, then don''t even think about getting the antidote." The Jiang Clan raised their head to look at the disapproving expression of the Prince Chen, and couldn''t help but sneer. "What? Although the medicinal ingredients for the antidote are easy to find, the materials used are extremely particular. That old doctor once said, even if the dosage is lacking by just a bit, it will cause unimaginable consequences. If Your Highness is willing to take the risk, then please don''t agree to my conditions. "


    The Prince was so angered by the Jiang Clan''s words that his face turned green, but for the sake of his son, he endured it. He said in a deep voice: "You''re ruthless. Fine, tell me, what conditions do you have?"


    "I know that my crimes are unforgivable, and I do not hope that you can let me go, but all these actions were done by me alone, so the Jiang family is not aware of it. I ask that you spare the Jiang family, and after you execute me, you only need to inform the outside world that I died from an illness.


    "Humph!" "You''re quite considerate. You don''t wish to implicate the Jiang Clan, so you shouldn''t have done such a despicable thing back then."


    When Prince Chen saw the Jiang Clan silently looking at him, he knew that she had already made up her mind. In the end, he could only nod and agree to the Jiang Clan''s condition.


    Even if the Jiang Clan did not plead for mercy, Prince Chen could not do anything to the Jiang Clan. He had been poisoned by his own wife, and even if it was for his own face, he could not reveal the secret of the prince''s mansion to the outside world, not to mention that he wanted to forcefully exterminate the Jiang Clan. He had offended this noble line of the imperial court, and he could not afford to pay such a price.


    After secretly disposing of the Jiang clan, as expected, Prince Chen received the antidote from the Jiang clan''s hands. Of course, he didn''t dare to take it directly, so he looked for the servants in the mansion, first, he drank the antidote, and after a period of time, the antidote worked, he gave them the antidote. After a period of time, when the antidote worked, he confirmed that the antidote was authentic, Prince Chen personally took the antidote.


    The Prince of Chen had taken the antidote, the Xu family continued to be her concubine, and Qi Qi Qi was peacefully nurturing the baby in the courtyard where she was the only master. Prince Chen might have been afraid that such a wicked woman would appear in the courtyard, or he might feel that the poison in his body had already been resolved, and he might need to get as many sons as he wanted in the future.


    Although the matter of the princess poisoning the prince was a secret, how could there be a wall that didn''t leak any information? Perhaps the people outside didn''t know the truth, but the women in the mansion all knew very well that once they faced the princess''s hatred, their teeth would itch, they couldn''t give birth, and they even lost hope of having a child. Once they found out that the prince''s poison had been cured, they all went all out to seduce the prince, all so that they themselves could have a child and a woman to rely on in the future.


    It was unknown whether it was because the prince had been poisoned for too long, or because he was old now, his fertility itself had weakened. Although he was very diligent in broadcasting the seed in the backyard, the other women in the backyard had not moved at all even after the birth of July 77.


    He also suspected that the pill given to him by the Jiang Clan was fake, but when he saw the servant that he used to test the medicine on, now that his woman''s stomach was already so high, he felt that this pill could not possibly be fake.


    Could it be ¡­ Was it really the will of the heavens?


    Originally, he didn''t have that much passion for the women in the backyard, and the reason he had so many concubines was only to see the power that they represented behind their backs. But now, he seemed to have a determination that these women would all be pregnant with his children, as if only this could prove that he was still a normal man.


    However, there was a phenomenon in this world. The more you wanted to obtain it, the more you would not be able to obtain it because there were too many things to do in the room. Very soon, the imperial physician warned Prince Chen to pay attention to reducing the number of times he needed to do so.


    But how could Prince Chen listen to such words? Didn''t the imperial physician say he couldn''t? Even a man wouldn''t be able to take it, so not only did Prince Chen not restrain himself, he became even more violent.


    Normally, he did not know the truth, so he thought that he was the one who had killed his son, but that was fine. However, now that he knew the truth, he knew that all of this was caused by his own poison, how could he be willing to resign himself to fate?


    The dark face of Prince Chen only eased after the birth of seventy percent of the offspring. When he found out that Lin''er had finally been born in the Seventh Dynasty, Prince Chen finally revealed a smile that he hadn''t seen for a long time.


    The satisfaction in Prince Chen''s heart after having carried his first child for so many years, especially with the fact that he was only a son, was no less than defeating a political opponent in the imperial court. Perhaps even more so, but after thinking about it for a bit, his son was now the sole son of the prince, so his expression immediately turned ugly.


    If it weren''t for the Jiang Clan poisoning him, he wouldn''t have ended up like this.


    Thinking about the Jiang Dynasty, Prince Chen really wanted to annihilate the Jiang family, but he could do nothing about it now.


    Holding his pink son, Prince Chen was thinking that his son''s birth mother''s status was so low, so he had to find a mother of higher status for him. Since his birth mother couldn''t be changed, he could only see if he could remember her name, which was already under the name of the Crown Princess, the Xu family.

 C46

    However, after hearing Prince Chen''s suggestion, the Xu family did not agree. They expressed that regardless of whether the child bore their name or not, they were still the child''s direct mother and would definitely be able to help the child. However, if they were to become pregnant in the future, her child would instead become the second son.


    Prince Chen thought about it and his thoughts shifted to other women, but the words of the Xu family completely dispelled this thought of his.


    The Xu family said, "This person has their own selfish motives. After all, this child is not his own. How can he treat this child well with only a layer of his belly between them? "After all, this is the eldest son of the prince, and the mother should keep him at ease. This mother will always give her all to the child."


    Prince Chen thought about it and it was true. Didn''t he, himself, die because of the Jiang Dynasty''s selfishness? Giving his son to another woman so casually was truly hard to guarantee that nothing would happen to him.


    Since his son''s mother couldn''t be changed, then he could only mention her identity as his biological mother.


    So, with a shake of her body, a little girl with a miserable background like Qiqi [1] actually became the side wife of the Prince''s Mansion. Such a huge change in status would certainly lead people to criticize her, but right now, she was the mother of the only son of the Prince''s Mansion, so based on this alone, they could only break his teeth and swallow his blood.


    He didn''t know if it was due to empathy or not, but when Prince Chen saw that Qi Seventh no longer had the same feeling as when the moon had first set. On the contrary, every time he saw Qi Seventh, he would feel a kind of estrangement in his heart, and with the addition of the fact that Qi Seventh was already delicate and pretty, and that he would not be harmed by the prince, he was naturally more willing to run into other women''s houses than other women.


    After she gave birth to her child, she had never once served Prince Chen. If Prince Chen was not happy, then she would have to settle down. Right now, her identity in the prince''s mansion was only the young prince''s mother.


    When he was seven years old, he was chosen by Prince Chen as the young prince of the Chen family. After so many years had passed, there was still nothing for the women in the courtyard. Perhaps Prince Chen himself had already given up all hope, which was why he had made up his mind to determine the heir to Prince Chen''s position.


    Although this child belonged to the original owner, she had gone through the process of giving birth to this child in October after all. Although there was a strange feeling in her heart that this child wasn''t me, Qi Qi had still given her all the love she could give.


    The first time he was a mother, he had to fumble through a lot of things. It was fortunate that this child worked hard and had a gentle personality. Most importantly, his character was noble and pure, much better than his father, who was full of power and influence.


    At critical moments, they could always help each other. 77 knew that after Prince Chen took the antidote, he would still not have any offspring, which should include the Xu family''s hands and feet, but she did not understand why the Xu family would choose not to give birth to their own children. This was not modern, both husband and wife had their own thoughts, and this was in ancient times.


    In any case, Qi Qi''s mission was successfully completed. By the time she died, Chen Zirui had already filled the hall with children, family and happiness. He was not killed by the Jiang Clan like in the original plot. This could be considered to have fulfilled the original owner''s wish of having his son safely aged.


    This was the feeling of spatial disorder that appeared after the return of every mission. After all, he had lived in the plot for so many years, and although he had prepared in his heart, he still needed a process to jump out of it.


    This time, she always felt that there was something different in the office. It was only when her hands came in contact with a warm object that she realized the difference. There was a cup of steaming white water on her table.


    What he had noticed was that the steam rising from the water had reached his line of sight.


    At first, Qi Qi was stunned, then she pursed her lips and smiled. How could she forget that this office had an AI system that allowed her to prepare the necessary items as she wished?


    Could it be that what she wanted now was a glass of plain water? Why didn''t she notice it herself? Qi Qi grabbed the cup and the warm feeling slowly spread from her palms to her limbs. In the end, even her heart felt warm.


    In the world of missions, although there were many different types of quest characters by her side, she knew from start to finish that she did not belong there. That feeling of loneliness in her heart was even deeper than when she was an orphan in the past, at least at that time, she knew that the life she had to struggle for was hers, and now, even if she was filled with children in the world of missions, so what?


    The hand holding the cup tightened again, and he took a deep breath, secretly encouraging himself. She had to finish the task quickly, and become a partner sooner so that she could return to her own world and live her own real life as soon as possible.


    Seemingly sensing the fighting spirit in Qi Qi Qi, the reward for the mission appeared on the previously blank wall.


    The task was successfully completed. The person who completed the task had fulfilled the hidden wish of the client, not only protecting the person the client wanted to protect, but also causing the perpetrator to receive the appropriate outcome. As an additional reward, this time, on top of receiving 3000 task spirit coins, he was also rewarded 2000 spirit coins.


    Qi Qi lowered her head to calculate her accounts. Currently, she already had 13100 spirit coins and a business talent worth 1000 spirit coins. She suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction from being able to carry her purse and become a bit more confident about her future mission.


    In these three missions, his luck was quite good, there was no need to spend spirit coins, and Qi Qi Qi guessed if this was a form of human management in the company, and if it was the missions accepted by all the quest holders at the beginning, they would be relatively simple, in order for them to complete the original accumulation of spirit coins, in order to deal with the next higher difficulty of the missions?


    Regardless of whether it was a preferential policy given by the company, Qi Qi decided to save as much as possible in the first 10 missions in order to accumulate capital for the rest.


    Thinking about capital, Qi Qi couldn''t help but feel pity for the wasted time in the previous missions. She should use all the time she could to master as many skills as possible, after all, she could take the skills she had learned through hard work into the future world of missions, and when necessary she could even exchange them for spirit coins.


    Just as he was beginning to regret, another figure appeared on the wall. This time, the person who appeared made him feel like his eyes were shining.


    This person wore an army green military uniform. He had an air of righteousness about him. Although his appearance was not very outstanding, the heroic spirit on his face was enough to make others admire him from the bottom of their hearts.


    How could such a person become a vengeful spirit?


    Qi Qi Qi gently coughed and adjusted his slightly different facial expression before smiling and greeting him first. "Hello, is there anything I can do for you?"


    The woman in the screen did not immediately state her requirements. Instead, she carefully sized up Qi Seven with a pair of sharp eyes, as if she was evaluating his strength.


    Although his expression was calm, he couldn''t help but feel a little apprehensive. This person''s aura was so strong, and such a strong looking person had already become a vengeful spirit. Could she really smoothly complete this mission? All of a sudden, he had lost all confidence.


    "I am a soldier, and my family''s three generations of soldiers have never done anything that goes against the status of a soldier. But because I was blind and had wrongly trusted a man, resulting in the death of dozens of ordinary citizens, I cannot forgive myself for doing so, much less the one who started all of this. I am already dead, and nothing can be saved, so I hope that I can use my soul as the price to ask you to help me protect the people who lost their lives in that incident, as well as to let that scum leave the military camp. He is not worthy of being a soldier."


    Her cold tone, the flat tone, and the face that never seemed to smile. It was clearly such a stiff picture, yet Qi Qi could still feel the warmth from it, and she couldn''t help but smile. She didn''t even have the time to read the story of this person before replying from the bottom of her heart, "Okay."


    There weren''t too many promises that she would definitely complete the task, but this'' yes'' from Qi Qi, which received the approval of her client, caused her to nod slightly. She raised her right hand and made a standard military salute in front of her forehead before fading out of sight.


    Following the fading of the green-coloured figure, another image slowly surfaced on the wall.


    Qi Jian looked over and saw a girl in oversized pants stumbling behind a group of boys on a large playground.


    Those boys were laughing and making faces at the back, shouting loudly, "Little girl, you''re not a boy even if you put on your pants. Hurry up and go back, we won''t play with you."


    The little girl stuck out her chest in dissatisfaction, "So what if you''re a girl? A girl can be a general, I won''t lose to you guys."


    Just as the little girl finished speaking, waves of mocking laughter burst out from the group of boys. The little girl was so angry that her face turned red, she pounced on a boy who was a head taller than her and punched him in the head.


    Clutching his forehead, he ruthlessly rubbed the little girl off his body. He got on the little girl and swung his fist as if he was going to hit her, but the group of rascals did not hold back and instead jeered from the side. They all shouted, "Thirdie, hit me, hit me, let''s see if she will still follow us in the future."


    The little girl was also smart. She took advantage of the moment when the boy called San Zi raised his head to look at everyone, and grabbed both of his ears, pulling down with all her might. Although the little girl wasn''t very strong, she wouldn''t let go even if she had a death grip.


    "Zheng Qi, let go of me. How many times have I told you? Girls are not allowed to fight, just say that you won''t listen." Following this scolding, a beautiful woman in a military uniform appeared. However, her slim figure did not resemble a man that had been in the military for a long time.

 C47

    If one looked carefully, one would be able to see a small medical kit in her hands.


    When the girl who was under the boy saw him, she quickly pushed the boy on her back and quickly stood up. She pulled on her oversized pants and ran off into the distance.


    "Zheng Qi, stop right there. Don''t think that finding your dad is the best thing in the world. Let me tell you, he returned to the army early in the morning. If you keep running, I''ll deal with you."


    When the little girl heard this, she suddenly stopped and turned around to look. After thinking for a while, she seemed to have thought of something and turned around to run away.


    "Zheng Qi, it''s useless for you to run. Your grandfather isn''t home today either." The woman behind him, who was carrying the medicine chest, followed behind Qi Qi Qi as she called out again in a clear voice.


    He turned around and stood there, resigned to his fate, waiting for the girl to come to his side. Then, she obediently approached the girl and wrapped her arms around her legs, looking up at the girl with a pitiful little face. "Mommy, Qi Qi Qi just fell down and hurt. Can you give her some medicine?"


    The girl lowered her head to look at the little girl who had turned from a crazy girl into a pitiful darling daughter. She extended her finger to pull the messy ponytail on the back of her head and said lovingly, "You little girl, you''re so considerate!"


    Seeing this, the corner of the mouth of Qi Hua, who was sitting in the office, lifted up. This little girl was so lively and cute, she looked a little similar to the tough female soldier that he saw just now.


    With the progress of the story, Qi Qi Qi''s mood also changed little by little. His heart was slowly filled with an emotion called heartache.


    Soldiers'' families were bound to be filled with separation and loneliness, and work always came first. As long as the military was busy, Zheng Qi would often be the only one left in a two-story house.


    There were no servants in the house. Usually, when the old gramps was here, the old gramps guards would take care of things in the house. When the old gramps was stationed in the army, things in the house could only be done by Qi Qi Qi''s mother, the woman with the medicine box. However, she was also an army doctor, so how could she have a fixed working time?


    There was no need to mention Zheng Qiqi''s father. His residence was in the provinces. It was a rare occurrence to be able to stay at home for a week all year round.


    Since childhood, he lacked the company of his family and didn''t have any girls of the same age with him. He played behind the butts of the boys in the courtyard and was always despised. Zheng Qi''s childhood was actually very lonely.


    However, she never complained. Facing her family''s guilt, she would pat her chest and say, "Qi Qi is a soldier''s child, Qi Qi is not afraid, Qi Qi can take good care of herself."


    Such a heartbreaking child, no one knew how much she longed for the warm care of others beneath her cheerful and optimistic appearance.


    It was also because of this that when Fang Zhijun, who came from the countryside, appeared before her as an instructor and showed a considerate side to her, Zheng Qi fell into a infatuation for this person.


    In her mind, all the soldiers should have strong shoulders to carry everything on. The fact that Fang Zhijun was able to rise to the position of captain in just a few short years without any background meant that he was a person with a firm and resolute character. She felt that she was definitely not mistaken.


    Since she liked Fang Zhijun, she didn''t plan to have a secret crush on him, but start to have a passionate love affair instead. At the beginning, Fang Zhijun was not willing to accept the pursuit of her, but in the end, she didn''t know if it was because he was moved or if it was out of other considerations, but in the end, they were still together.


    The Zheng Family elders couldn''t argue with Zheng Qi, but they had to agree to their marriage. Thinking about it, indecision wasn''t a big problem. As long as there was no problem with his style, they could slowly nurture him in the future.


    However, just as the two of them were holding the engagement ceremony, a woman came to the door and announced that she was Fang Zhijun''s wife who had already run a wine business in the countryside. In the countryside, as long as she had run a wine business, even if she didn''t have a marriage certificate, she could be considered a proper couple.


    It didn''t matter if this matter was real or fake, when a woman came knocking on his door, he didn''t say a single word. This was his mistake, he shouldn''t be hiding in his own shell and lack an explanation for everyone, especially the elders of the Zheng Family.


    For the first time, Zheng Qi felt that perhaps Fang Zhijun was not a responsible person, but if a soldier did not have a sense of responsibility, then it was very dangerous.


    Throughout the entire process of the Zheng Family elders and Zheng Qiqiang sending off the guests, Fang Zhijun and the woman had been sitting at a table in the corner of the banquet hall. It was obvious that this woman was trying to get close to him, but he seemed to be very resistant.


    Zheng Qiqi was keenly aware of this strange situation. Although she was disappointed in Fang Zhijun''s performance today, she had after all been in love for such a long time. To be honest, she couldn''t bear to give up on this hard-earned relationship so easily.


    If he really had a problem, then she had to give him an opportunity to explain. Otherwise, it would be unfair to him or to herself.


    Under the questioning of Zheng Qiqi and the pressure of the Zheng Family elders, Fang Zhijun finally revealed the truth. So this woman was indeed his wife from the countryside, but because he had been a soldier for a long time and didn''t have the time to return home, this wife couldn''t resist the temptation and ran off with another man. Since they didn''t have a certificate and it was such a disgraceful matter, he naturally kept his mouth shut, acting like nothing had happened.


    Having suffered emotional injuries and having wholeheartedly trained in the army, Fang Zhijun had never thought of starting a new relationship so quickly. However, he had not expected that right at this moment, Zheng Qiqi would pursue him with such fierce attacks.


    When he heard that Fang Zhijun had dated him for such a reason, Zheng Qiong almost fainted. She knew that Fang Zhijun was someone she could pursue with all her might, but she had thought that he at least liked her a little.


    Although she still couldn''t bear to part with this relationship, she knew that her marriage was not her own affair. She could not be so selfish, to lose the dignity of the entire Zheng Family just for the sake of her own love.


    They wanted to tear Fang Zhijun into a thousand pieces, but Zheng Qiqi came out to plead for Fang Zhijun, saying that this matter could not be blamed on him. His wife had run off with someone, and if it was any other man, they would not have said a word about it, it was not Fang Zhijun''s fault.


    He just didn''t like her, so she didn''t want to continue this forced relationship. She was afraid that if she continued to force it, both sides would suffer in the end.


    In the whole process of handling the matter, Fang Zhijun only explained his past relationship with the woman at the beginning, and never spoke again. When 77 expressed that he did not want to continue this relationship that he had reluctantly gotten, Fang Zhijun suddenly looked up at her with an indescribable shock in his eyes, but in the end, he did not say anything.


    Now that such a thing had happened, although it wasn''t really a scandal, but the Zheng Family was still the head of the local military, everyone would intentionally look at Fang Zhijun with their tinted glasses. In such a situation, Fang Zhijun naturally couldn''t stay in the original troop, so Zheng Qi didn''t want to delay Fang Zhijun''s future by doing this, so he persuaded the old man to transfer his troops to a new environment, perhaps it would be better for both of them.


    Before leaving, Zheng Qiqi sent Fang Zhijun on his way. She hoped that her relationship began and ended, and that the two of them could get along happily.


    Fang Zhijun carried his luggage and looked fixedly at Zheng Qi for a long while. When his eyes started to fill with a suspicious moisture, he turned around and walked away. The woman also followed closely behind him.


    An inexplicable emotion slowly filled his heart, his eyes dry and fierce. However, she clenched her fists and said nothing, not doing anything. She straightened her back, turned around, and walked into the main gate of the army.


    In the years that followed, Zheng Qi devoted all his attention to the army and did not mention anything about relationships. The Zheng Family''s elders were also afraid that Zheng Qi''s emotional wounds had yet to heal, so they did not rush her to find them.


    However, there would always be people who would mention him, saying that he had developed very well in other companies. That woman had rented a house next to the army, and had been waiting for his forgiveness the entire time. They even said that the woman was a good businessman, and that she had already acquired a small fortune in just a few short years.


    Every time she heard this, Zheng Qi would just smile. Even if he heard it, he wouldn''t take it to heart. She and Fang Zhijun were already finished. Whether he and that woman were related or not had nothing to do with her.


    Moreover, Zheng Qiqi was injured in this exercise. At that time, Fang Zhijun was not far from her, so he did not care about the danger and carried her on his back until the end of the entire exercise. At the end of the exercise, Fang Zhijun also fainted because of exhaustion.


    However, what made her unable to calm down was that after so many years had passed, Fang Zhijun had finally confessed to her. He said that when they separated that year, he actually already liked her, but he felt that he was unworthy of her at that time, so he silently left, hoping that one day he would be able to stand equally in front of her and obtain her love.


    Because of this confession, Zheng Qi considered whether he should start over with Fang Zhijun. However, at this time, the woman who had appeared at the engagement banquet once again appeared in front of her. She told her that it was her fault in the past, that she had let Fang Zhijun down, but now that she had sincerely repented, Fang Zhijun had begun to accept her again.


    Zheng Qiqi couldn''t believe that Fang Zhijun was involved with his ex-wife while confessing to her. She couldn''t believe that Fang Zhijun was such a shaky person, so she called Fang Zhijun, hoping to hear his explanation.

 C48

    Fang Zhijun''s answer, however, left Zheng Qiqi at a loss as to what to do.


    "I can''t forgive Mei Hong for her mistakes, but she did follow me, and while I was in the army, she took care of my parents, so I can''t be too cruel to her," Fang said. She said that at that time, it was just a passing thought. She quickly realized that she was wrong and immediately went back home to kowtow and admit her wrongs to my parents. My parents have now forgiven her and hope that we can start over, so ¡­ "


    "So what? So you''re going to start over with her while confessing to me? " She secretly decided in her heart that if Fang Zhijun dared to nod or say yes, she would immediately leave without even looking back. From then on, she would never have anything to do with this man again.


    No, it''s not like that. I just want to say, on Mei Hong''s side, I have to slowly figure out her thoughts. It''s not easy for her, she suffered for me for so many years, and she sent most of the money she earned all these years to my parents. My parents only have her as a daughter-in-law now.


    After listening to Fang Zhijun''s explanation, Zheng Qiqi thought for a long time. Although she could understand his decision, she did not think that this was the right decision. To cut down quickly and randomly would not cause too much trouble for each other.


    "Alright, since you have your own considerations, then deal with the matter with Ms. Mei first. When will you deal with it? When can you come and find me again?"


    With these words, Zheng Qi didn''t give Fang Zhijun a chance to explain. He turned around and left.


    Fang Zhijun silently stood where he was, watching as Zheng Qi walked further and further away. After a long time, he sighed and walked away dejectedly.


    However, no one noticed that while Zheng Qi and Fang Zhijun were conversing, there was a figure hidden behind a tree not far from them.


    She knew that the woman, Mei Hong, wouldn''t be simple. Otherwise, she wouldn''t have been able to know that Fang Zhijun was unwilling to forgive her, and would still be able to stay out of the army for so long. Not only was she not discouraged, she would even be able to use the money she earned from doing business to subsidize the Fang family, allowing the two elders of the Fang family to let bygones be bygones.


    As for Zheng Qiqi, although she was a very outstanding soldier and had all sorts of military capabilities, she was still a bit too naive when it came to the affairs of the world.


    After a long sigh, Qi Qi Qi turned her attention back to the screen.


    Mei Hong was holding onto the tree bark with one hand, while her other hand had ripped off a layer of the tree bark.


    When Qi Qi Qi saw Mei Hong''s mouth twitch a few times, she pricked up her ears and listened attentively. Only then did she understand what she was saying. However, what she said made Qi Qi Qi shake her head with a wry smile.


    In my previous life, I missed out on Zhijun. Since the heavens gave me the chance to make a comeback, I definitely won''t give this man to anyone else, and the only one I can do is to be General Fang''s wife. After knowing what would happen in the next few decades, I don''t believe that I can''t defeat a man like that.


    After venting her indignation and anger, Mei Hong stretched out her hand to brush away the curls on her chest before turning around and left as well. In the eyes of a man, her graceful figure and fashionable clothing were indeed much more beautiful than the military uniform Zheng Qiqi had been wearing all year round.


    After this, whenever Fang Zhi Jun and Mei Hong wanted to sit down and have a good talk, Mei Hong always had a variety of reasons to avoid Fang Zhi Jun. After this, whenever Fang Zhi Jun wanted to sit down with Mei Hong, Mei Hong always had a variety of reasons to avoid Mei Hong.


    "Brother Zhijun, do you really not want me anymore? "I really know my wrongs, but at that time, I was young and you were away for a long time, so I was very lonely. That''s why I always thought he was good when I had someone to chat with, but believe me, the relationship between us was pure and nothing happened between us. I have already regretted and blamed myself for so many years, can''t you forgive me?"


    Hearing Mei Hong say that she and that man were innocent, Fang Zhijun was completely stunned. How could they be innocent? Didn''t they run away together for almost a month? If she was innocent, why hadn''t she told him about it after so many years?


    As if she understood Fang Zhijun''s question, Mei Hong explained with a flushed face, "I''m a woman after all, how could I bring this up? I thought Brother Zhijun understood me. I''m a conservative person, how could I casually have ¡­ with a man?" Then what! "Moreover, it''s a fact that he didn''t care about the Fang family''s reputation and ran away with another man. I really don''t have the face to say anything on this matter.


    "Then why do you have the nerve to say it now?" Fang Zhijun suspiciously looked at Mei Hong, he subconsciously believed Mei Hong''s words. After all, this sort of thing couldn''t stop a fire from burning, if he were to meet that man, he would be able to ask as long as he asked. Since she was able to say these words, it meant that she was truly innocent.


    "I... "I ¡­" Mei Hong lowered her head. After a long while, I seemed to have made up my mind. I raised my head and looked at Fang Zhijun with her beautiful eyes, my eyes filled with deep love.


    "Brother Zhijun, I know that you met the daughter of the leader in the army. She has her own knowledge and temperament, and you wanted to marry her, but it was my appearance that prevented your marriage. I know that I let you down, so all these years you have been angry at me. But I really do like you, and I really can''t help myself. "


    On one hand, he hated her for betraying him that year, and on the other hand, he did have the anger towards her for destroying his wedding. But now that she said it out loud, he felt that he had gone too far, after all, she didn''t commit an irreparable mistake back then.


    Strictly speaking, Mei Hong''s appearance at the engagement ceremony had been a coincidence. Mei Hong had explained that she had gone to the city to look for him, but because he was unable to leave the army, she was unable to send him a message. She didn''t have much money on her, so for the sake of earning her living, she entered that hotel as a waitress.


    "Brother Zhijun, don''t chase me away, just give me another chance, okay? I''ve been gone for so many years, and the elders at home think that we''re already together. If you don''t want me, how could I have the face to go home! "


    Just as Fang Zhijun was thinking about the past, Mei Hong choked on his words and begged. This humble attitude of his made him unable to speak any ruthless words, so he could only nod, "I will find a chance to explain this to the family''s elders. If you''re worried, then you can stay here for now.


    With that, Fang Zhijun fled in panic. He did not dare to look Mei Hong in the eyes. This made him feel that he was the one with the ungrateful heart.


    After Fang Zhijun left, Mei Hong clenched her fist and slammed it on the table, softly saying, "It seems that I''ve underestimated you. Zheng Qi, in my previous life, it wasn''t just your wishful thinking that you could marry Zhijun bro, but I definitely won''t lose to you. Zhijun bro, I''m determined to win."


    To be honest, after experiencing so many things, her feelings for Fang Zhijun had also gradually faded. The reason why she considered starting over was mostly because of how touched she had been during that internship.


    She also saw the indecisiveness of Fang Zhijun''s personality more and more clearly. It was just as the elders of the Zheng family worried, this kind of personality wasn''t suitable for him to take charge of himself in the army. Since the Zheng family only had a daughter, they naturally hoped that their future partner would be able to inherit the power that the Zheng family had fought for so many years.


    Zheng Qi''s attitude slowly turned cold. Mei Hong pressed on step by step, becoming more and more gentle and considerate. Fang Zhijun, on the other hand, continued to be stuck between the two women.


    He had tried to call his parents back home to clarify the relationship between him and Mei Hong, but before he could say anything, his parents first asked him and Mei Hong to have a child. Naturally, he didn''t have the opportunity to speak anymore.


    The days dragged on, because this matter could not be resolved even if it weighed on his mind. Fang Zhijun''s mental state also began to deteriorate bit by bit.


    It was because of this that Zheng Qiqi''s tragedy occurred.


    That joint attack on a drug trafficking group in a certain province was a joint operation between Zheng Qiqi''s army and Fang Zhijun''s army. This operation was very secretive, and other than the participants, no one else in the army knew about it.


    However, Mei Hong was an exception. She clearly remembered that in her previous life, Fang Zhijun was injured in this drug control operation. After he was injured, his parents both entered the city and took care of him for a long time.


    She knew from her parents'' scoldings that Fang Zhijun had married the daughter of a high-ranking military officer, and that he himself was already a military officer. This time, the Fang family had been to the city all the time, and it was the army that had sent a car to pick them up, so there was no need to mention how glorious it was.


    However, after staying with Fang Zhijun for so many years, she still had not made any progress. If she could think of a way to save Fang Zhijun this time, then with Fang Zhijun as her person, he would definitely be able to accept her again.


    However, even if she had deliberately asked about this secret operation in her previous life, she knew nothing about it other than the general idea of where it happened.


    So, without Fang Zhijun being aware of it, she secretly went to her destination first. These past few years, she had relied on her memories from her past life to gradually expand her business and accumulate many connections. She used these connections to inquire if there was any big drug deal in the area, using the excuse that she had friends who wanted to buy some goods.


    At most, she would only hear some vague rumours, but Mei Hong was still able to deduce the time and place of the operation based on the information he had obtained, as well as the bits and pieces he had seen on the news in his previous life.

 C49

    Mei Hong went to that place first. Looking at the surroundings, she realized that it was actually a small restaurant downtown.


    She had always thought that the drug trade should take place in empty abandoned factories and such, instead of downtown, why did she choose such a place? But then she thought that it was also correct to choose this place because of the safety of the people. With so many people, the police or the army wouldn''t be able to attack them recklessly, so the criminals had time to escape.


    Mei Hong found a small room in a small restaurant and stayed there. The door was slightly ajar and she just stood there with her ear pressed against the door, listening to the noises coming from outside. She didn''t dare to keep staring at the door, afraid that someone would notice her.


    After waiting for a few hours, the waiters in the restaurant had almost forgotten that there were still guests in the private room. Only then did two groups of people come in from outside the restaurant, and when the waiters saw these two groups of people, they signalled to the waiters outside to recruit customers and glanced at the scattered customers sitting in the main hall, only then did they lead the two groups to the private rooms on the second floor.


    Mei Hong realized this unusual situation in time. As she was about to go upstairs to take a look, she saw four people sitting at a table outside the door. The people sitting near the table and the other guests in the hall were whispering to each other.


    Mei Hong guessed that these people were probably plainclothes policemen or something like that. They were trying to evacuate the crowd, so she definitely couldn''t show up at this time. Once she appeared, she would be evacuated.


    Thinking up to here, Mei Hong looked back at the box and found that the only place where people could hide was under the table. The long tablecloth was hanging down, just enough to obstruct other people''s line of sight.


    As soon as she hid, she could see through the gap under the tablecloth that the door had been pushed open from the outside. Soon after, a pair of black leather shoes appeared in her line of sight, and the owner of the feet went out again after discovering that there was no one there. However, when she went out, the door was not casually closed, and Mei Hong was afraid that she would be exposed if she went out, so she had no choice but to hide under the table and peek at the bottom of the crack, secretly observing the situation outside.


    While they were waiting, Mei Hong saw with her own eyes that a lot of people had quietly come out of nowhere. Without making any sound, they controlled all the waiters at the entrance and in the restaurant and brought them outside.


    From start to finish, the boss of the restaurant had never shown his face. Mei Hong guessed that the boss was probably making a deal with someone upstairs.


    After a while, Mei Hong saw many pairs of combat boots moving around the restaurant at a rapid pace without making any sound.


    Only someone who had gone through long term training would be able to be so nimble like this. Fang Zhijun must already be there, Mei Hong shook her head and paid more attention to what was happening outside, even secretly lifting a corner of the tablecloth to see if Fang Zhijun was in danger.


    Very quickly, Mei Hong heard the sound of tables falling and various messy footsteps coming from upstairs. She could not help but be startled, knowing that the fight had already started upstairs.


    However, as the saying goes, wealth comes from danger. After leaving Fang Zhijun''s side in her last life, she had experienced all sorts of hardships, and compared to that time when her mind and body were being tortured, this kind of fear was nothing today. Furthermore, she knew that with so many people in the army, even if something happened to her, her life would not be in danger.


    As the noise from upstairs became louder and louder, the sound of fighting and even some gunshots came from the stairs.


    Mei Hong didn''t expect to get a gun in a restaurant. With a shake of her hand, the tablecloth fell off, and she couldn''t help but shrink back into the restaurant.


    Before she could pull away the tablecloth again, she heard footsteps at the door of the private box, and the sound of people approaching.


    "Wang Qiang, don''t try to resist anymore. The outside world is already surrounded by us. It''s better that you surrender."


    "Humph!" Impossible!? Then will I still be alive? What I did today is enough for me to eat a dozen or so guns. Surrender is death, if I don''t surrender I still have a chance to live.


    The person called Wang Qiang evidently did not believe the words of the police. He began to laugh mockingly and ruthlessly as he refuted them.


    A few minutes after the conversation ended, Mei Hong did not hear anything else. She could not help but mutter to herself, "What is going on outside?" Why was it quiet?


    Out of curiosity, and worried that she would miss the moment when Fang Zhijun appeared, Mei Hong gathered up his courage and slightly lifted up a corner of the tablecloth.


    But as soon as she lifted the tablecloth, she met the eyes of the person standing in the doorway.


    The member of the special forces standing at the door raised his gun with both hands, while his eyebrows slightly knitted under his helmet. How was there still someone? Didn''t they already clear the stage?


    In order not to attract the attention of the drug dealers, he quickly looked away.


    However, there were always various coincidences when something happened. As the drug dealer was retreating with his gun in hand, his heel coincidentally stepped on the palm of Mei Hong''s hand that was propped up on the ground.


    Mei Hong was in extreme pain. Although she covered her mouth in time to avoid making any noise, her trampled hand couldn''t help but tremble.


    Because it was not easy to shake, the drug dealer quickly discovered that there was someone under the table.


    The special forces standing at the door immediately realized that things were not going well for the current situation. They also knew that if these criminals were to find out that there was an ordinary citizen under the table, this person would probably be taken hostage. At that time, considering the safety of the people, their actions would become very passive.


    Initially, he had wanted to capture him alive, as it would be beneficial for him to fish out the big fish behind him. However, with the current situation, he was afraid that he wouldn''t be able to keep him alive.


    The special forces standing behind immediately used their headphones to report the situation in front of them.


    Fang Zhi Jun and Zheng Qi, who were sitting in the command car, heard that there was still someone inside, and couldn''t help but raise their heads to look at each other. The two of them saw an instant of astonishment in each other''s eyes, and they repeatedly confirmed that the ordinary citizens inside had all withdrawn, and the results were always the same.


    "Adjust the cameraman''s position so that I can see his appearance." Zheng Qi quickly gave the order. In order to command conveniently, every commando''s helmet was equipped with a mini camera. Right now, as long as they slightly changed the direction, the control car''s computer screen could display this person''s appearance.


    "Plum Blossom!?" When he clearly saw who had been pulled out of the dining table, Fang Zhijun couldn''t help but shout out.


    It was only when Zheng Qiqi looked at him with a frown that Fang Zhijun realized he had lost his composure. He quickly stopped and softly explained to everyone in the command car, "This person is a friend from my hometown. He is definitely not an accomplice of the drug dealers."


    "Why is she here? It was you who leaked the news? " Zheng Qi lowered his voice and asked Fang Zhijun the question that was in his heart. When he asked, he even looked around. She did not want to make things difficult for Fang Zhijun because of this unfounded conjecture.


    "No, how is that possible? We haven''t seen each other for over two months. This mission is so confidential. Other than the people who participated in the mission, it was impossible for me to tell anyone else. "


    Fang Zhijun also lowered his voice and explained. He was also afraid that if this matter was not settled well, not only would Mei Hong lose his life, his career as an official would come to an end as well.


    "Now that the drug dealers have hostages, we need to revise our plan. My opinion is to give up our plan of capturing them alive and let the snipers be ready. If there''s a chance, we will directly attack the enemy''s vital points." Zheng Qi thought for a moment before revealing his intentions to the crowd.


    "Isn''t this too risky? If the sniper fails to hit the target, I''m afraid that it will anger these fugitives. At that time, Mei Hong''s life might not be saved." Fang Zhijun knew that Zheng Qi''s thoughts were correct, but right now, the one shivering under the gunfire of the drug dealer was no other than the person who had grown up together with him. Moreover, this person had once been his most intimate person, so there was no way for him to not think too much about it.


    "Then what do you think we should do? "Let the drug dealers take the hostages and take them out of the restaurant''s gate. You have to know, this is downtown, so if they succeed in getting out, it''s not important if they take advantage of the large number of people to escape. What''s important is that if they accidentally hurt so many ordinary people outside, what should we do?"


    "Let me think again, there must be a way to achieve the best of both worlds." The purpose was to clear his mind a little. Whether it was because of past relationships or the contributions Mei Hong had made to the Fang family in the past few years, he did not want anything to happen to Mei Hong.


    "Can you not be emotional at a time like this? "If you don''t make a prompt decision now, when the drug dealer recovers his strength, it will be too late if you still want to use this method." Seeing that Fang Zhijun was still so indecisive even at such a crucial moment, Zheng Qi couldn''t help but loudly remind him. Because the situation was urgent, his tone of voice naturally couldn''t be good.


    Fang Zhijun raised his head to look at the screen, then turned to look at Zheng Qi, a hint of doubt actually appearing in his eyes, "Why are you in such a hurry to get a sniper to take action?"


    "Why!? You''re asking me why? I''m a soldier, and I don''t take anyone''s life as a joke. All the decisions I make are based on the bigger picture. " Having said so, Zheng Qi quickly took the protective vest and put it on. As he hung the weapon on his body, he tilted his head and added, "It doesn''t matter if you believe me or not."


    Fang Zhijun looked at Zheng Qi''s actions and could not help but be taken aback. "What are you planning to do?"


    "Since you still need time to think of a plan, you are the commander of this operation. I will respect your decision. I will go down first to delay this group of drug dealers. I hope you can decide on the course of action as soon as possible."


    Finishing this sentence, Zheng Qi quickly opened the door and got off the car. He quickly told the special forces in the restaurant to be on high alert through his headset as he quickly moved into the restaurant.

 C50

    "Captain Zheng, what should we do next?" The special police who were originally standing at the very front holding their guns against the drug dealer didn''t dare to turn their heads to look, afraid that if they were distracted for just a moment, they would give the drug dealer the opportunity to escape. Thus, they only glanced at Zheng Qi and asked in a soft voice through the voice transmission device.


    "What''s the rush? Let''s try to buy as much time as possible. Captain Fang is still thinking of a countermeasure."


    "Seriously, what is there to think about? You guys can draw the attention of this group of drug dealers and create a sniper angle for me. Wouldn''t one shot to death be enough to solve the problem?"


    At this moment, a voice filled with dissatisfaction came into everyone''s ears. From the sound of it, it was probably the complaints of the snipers who had been lying at a high place all this time.


    "Zhan Feng, shut up. Captain Fang naturally has his ways of doing things. Do you need to blindly direct him?" Even though she did not agree with Fang Zhijun''s actions, Zheng Qi still reprimanded his soldiers. Whether Fang Zhijun was her former fianc¨¦ or not, in the army, absolute obedience to the superior command was an ironclad discipline, and binding her men was something she had to do.


    "What do you want in order to release the hostages?" Zheng Qi pondered over the current situation calmly. Holding the gun in his hand tightly, he asked the drug dealer in front of him in a low voice.


    "What request do I have? As long as you let us out of this little restaurant, she will naturally be able to keep her life. But if you are not willing to let us brothers go, it will not be a bad thing to have a woman as a companion on the Road to River Styx. "


    "Don''t you know how much sin you have committed? To let you leave this restaurant, such a big decision is not something that I can decide alone. I have already truthfully reported your request to my superiors, but you need to be mentally prepared. Zheng Qi walked forward at an abnormally slow pace, his words diverting the attention of the group of drug dealers.


    "Stand still and don''t move any further." "Don''t think that I don''t know your plan of delaying. Let me tell you, I will only give you three minutes to consider. When the time is up, if you haven''t made up your mind, we will bring this woman down to the underworld together. In any case, we don''t intend to live our lives safely in this industry."


    When Zheng Qi saw that his plan to quietly pull in the distance and kick off the gun held by the drug dealer Mei Hong had failed, he simply stopped and did not dare to challenge the drug dealer''s bottom line.


    "Alright, just three minutes. You guys wait here." As Zheng Qi replied to the drug dealers, he secretly sized up the number of drug dealers in the room, as well as their respective positions. In this room, there were five drug dealers, and each of them also had a gun in their hands.


    On the other hand, most of their own people were gathered outside the small room. The door was relatively narrow, so it was obvious that they would be at a disadvantage if they rushed in while firing. However, if they slowly moved their position before firing, it was very easy for this group of drug dealers to discover these small movements.


    Right now, there were only three people in the room, including her. Three against five, the odds of winning were too small, and Zheng Qi looked up at the part of the window at the back of the room where the drug dealer had tightly drawn the curtains, making it impossible for a sniper to see what was going on inside. Even if they used infrared scanning to confirm the trajectory of a person''s movement, in such a small space, it was still very likely that they would accidentally hurt him.


    The best spot for a sniper was the room behind her. If a sniper could find a hiding spot at the top of the stairs, as long as they gathered at the door and moved away in time, revealing enough vision space, and several snipers attacked at the same time, they would still have the chance to kill these 5 drug dealers.


    Three minutes was actually very short, but to Fang Zhijun, it was very long and terrifying. He looked at the computer screen in the command car, anxious to the point that his forehead was covered in cold sweat. He subconsciously placed his palm on the table and rubbed it back and forth.


    "Team Fang, quickly give the order. Captain Zheng''s side won''t be able to hold out for long."


    Seeing that Fang Zhijun could not make up his mind, the soldiers in the command car reminded him in a hurry.


    Fang Zhijun was frightened by the sudden voice, but he quickly covered up his flustered expression. Once again, he looked up to see Mei Hong''s pale face on the screen. He clenched his teeth and finally made up his mind.


    "Let them go, inform the special police outside the restaurant to immediately evacuate the surrounding crowd. Remember, cars must not appear outside the restaurant to prevent drug dealers from stealing cars and driving away."


    After receiving the orders, the special police officers who had been surrounded by layers of police officers immediately took action. They divided their duties clearly, evacuating the crowd and inspecting the vehicles.


    In the end, Fang Zhijun was being sentimental, and letting these drug dealers leave was much more dangerous than letting them open fire here. With so many ordinary citizens outside, even the slightest mishap would result in a large number of casualties. If they were to fight head on here, even if there were any dangers, she had the confidence that no ordinary citizens would be injured, including Mei Hong, the hostage.


    But since Fang Zhijun had given such an order as the commander in chief of this operation, she couldn''t disobey his order. However, if she didn''t disobey his order, she could still try her best to remedy the situation.


    Zheng Qi lowered the gun in his hands and removed the protective mask on his face, as if he was listening to her orders to release her. However, when he stepped aside to make way, she shot a glance at the sniper at him without batting an eyelid.


    The special forces in this restaurant were basically all brought out by her, so they were able to understand her hints in the shortest amount of time.


    Just as he turned around, Zheng Qi had already reached an agreement with the group of elites in the military. She turned around and stared at the five drug dealers, watching as the person in the lead pointed his gun at Mei Hong''s temple, vigilantly watching them as he retreated.


    Just as these drug dealers had already retreated to the entrance of the private room and were preparing to turn around and exit the restaurant, Zheng Qi quickly waved his hand.


    After receiving the order, the sniper immediately pulled the trigger. A bullet rapidly flew towards the head of the drug dealer who was holding Mei Hong hostage.


    She raised her hand to touch it, only to feel the blood on her face. She was originally just an ordinary village woman. Even though she had seen a lot in her past life, she had never seen anyone get shot to death in front of her.


    Under the excessive shock, Mei Hong held up her bloodied hands, tightly staring at the dead drug dealer as she screamed out.


    Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw a figure quickly approaching. She turned around and without even looking, lifted her leg and kicked the person flying. The surrounding commandos immediately cuffed the drug dealer, who was sent flying.


    Zheng Qi''s leg was a drug dealer who had just brushed Mei Hong''s cheek. Mei Hong was frightened by this action and reflexively squatted down. He held his head and screamed again.


    He was the commander of this operation. If he was not present at this time, the consequences would have been dire. Moreover, since Zheng Qi was in such a dangerous situation, if he did not appear now, the Zheng Family would definitely not let him off if something bad happened to Zheng Qi.


    Currently, there were still three gun-carrying drug dealers in the restaurant, so Zheng Qi didn''t have the spare energy to calm Mei Hong''s mood. However, this was not the time to allow her to squat in the middle of the hall like this.


    Thus, she pulled up Mei Hong, who was squatting on the floor, and slapped her hard. When a person was unconscious or in a frenzy, the effect of being slapped would be amazing. Sure enough, because of this slap, Mei Hong quickly stopped screaming. Even her mind had cleared up quite a bit.


    "Shut your mouth and tell me to scram and squat in the middle of the hall. Are you waiting to be shot?"


    When Mei Hong heard the words'' shot, ''his body involuntarily trembled and he immediately shook his head reflexively.


    Seeing that Mei Hong had become much more clear-headed than before, Zheng Qi pushed her to the back of a nearby table and whispered, "You hide first, we''ll cover you later. If you get the chance, you run out of the restaurant immediately. In this situation, I can''t protect you any longer. Be careful not to fall into the hands of these drug dealers."


    When Mei Hong heard this, she was stunned for a moment before nodding her head. She quickly hid herself behind a big dining table and only dared to peek outside from time to time.


    Right now, the three drug dealers had been forced into a corner by this room full of special forces, so that was why Zheng Qi had had the opportunity to pay attention to her and told her that it was going to be like this. However, if she wanted to rush out of the restaurant, it wouldn''t be an easy matter.


    While Mei Hong was constantly watching the situation, a person suddenly appeared at the door. Although he wore a bulletproof helmet, Mei Hong still recognized Fang Zhijun at a glance.


    Mei Hong originally wanted to save Zhijun during dangerous times so that she could have a better impression of herself. However, what if she failed to save the person who rushed out and lost her life instead? What would she do then? Her previous life had been so arduous, and now she finally had the chance to be reborn. If she were to die again, she definitely wouldn''t have such good luck to live another life.


    Just as Mei Hong was hesitating, because of Fang Zhijun''s sudden appearance, the three drug dealers'' nerves seemed to be stimulated. They looked at each other with eyes full of decisiveness and viciousness.


    Since today was the day they were destined to never leave the city, wouldn''t it be a loss if they didn''t go with Dora as a scapegoat?


    One of the drug dealers ignored the countless number of guns in front of him and started shooting at the surrounding special forces. Because Zheng Qi and the others had their backs to the door, they did not see Fang Zhijun suddenly appear, so they did not expect the drug dealer''s reaction to be so intense.


    Because the drug dealers'' firepower was too strong, Zheng Qiqi and the others could only use the restaurant''s walls as a cover for now.


    At this moment, Fang Zhijun was pressing his bleeding shoulder against the wall and hiding around the corner, breathing heavily. When he came in, he clearly saw that the restaurant was not in a tense situation.

 C51

    How could Fang Zhijun have thought that these three drug dealers would be scared off if they saw their boss die, even the smallest of movements could become the last straw that could crush a camel to death. Moreover, he was a tall and sturdy man, fully armed and suddenly sneaking in from the outside, it would be weird if they didn''t treat him as a sniper to destroy them.


    "Why didn''t you just shoot? If you continue like this, I''m afraid more brothers will get hurt." Fang Zhijun looked at the voice equipment and softly questioned Zheng Qiqi. Before he came in, he clearly saw that the three drug dealers had already been forced into a corner, and whether they caught them alive or shot them dead was a good opportunity. He could not understand why Zheng Qiqi would rather hold up his gun and not shoot them.


    His heart was filled with disappointment. He had not shown up early or late, but why did he show up at this time? After going through so much training, did he not know that this was not the right time to appear?


    One of these drug dealers has a special drum hanging from his waist. I suspect he''s wearing a bomb tied around his waist, so if we provoke him and give him a chance to pull the lead rope, I''m afraid this whole building will be in danger. At that time, not to mention the people who have yet to evacuate from this place, even the brothers in this house will have a hard time leaving this place alive.


    Even though Fang Zhijun was very disappointed in his heart and doubted that his ability could develop so well in the military, and could even become the commander this time, Zheng Qi still patiently explained the reason.


    Hearing Zheng Qiqi''s explanation, Fang Zhijun''s face turned red from hiding under his helmet. He stuck his head out slightly, wanting to see if the drug dealer Zheng Qiqi was referring to had any suspicious bulges on his waist, but just as he showed his face, a bullet immediately shot into the corner of his hiding place. Obviously, those drug dealers had been keeping an eye on every corner of the room.


    Relying on the cover of the tablecloth, Zheng Qiqi secretly observed the situation inside the restaurant. The people outside the restaurant were very abundant, and there were quite a few people inside the restaurant, but they were not sure if the drug dealer really had a bomb on his waist. Because of this uncertain factor, they could only stay in such a passive position.


    "Have the people upstairs all left? Including the people in the surrounding buildings? "


    Zheng Qiqi was not at ease with the crowds outside. Once again, he used the voice transmission device and the security personnel on the command vehicle outside to confirm that the surrounding crowd had safely evacuated.


    If she could get rid of these drug dealers with one shot, it would be better to let go of the big fish behind, but if she couldn''t get rid of them with one shot, then if this drug dealer really had a bomb tied to his waist, then when the bomb exploded, not only would the property of the crowd be greatly damaged, but the lives of ordinary people would also be taken. Unless she had no other choice, she didn''t want to take this risk.


    "Yes, our people have already swept the building twice, but we haven''t seen anyone. We''ve knocked on every room, but no one answered. They should have all left."


    "What I want is not what I should be. You guys scan again. You have to be a hundred percent sure that the crowd upstairs has already evacuated."


    This kind of matter that concerned the lives of people, guesswork like ''should not be allowed.'' Before she received an answer, she could only wait like this, and could not excessively provoke these drug dealers to the point where they might jump into a wall.


    Just as Zheng Qi was anxiously waiting for news while paying close attention to the situation, something unexpected happened. Mei Hong, who had been quietly hiding behind the table, suddenly bent down and quickly ran towards Fang Zhijun''s hiding place.


    She had taken such a huge risk. If she didn''t do anything to help out, and instead became a burden to this operation, not to mention letting Fang Zhijun change his view, she was afraid all her previous efforts would be in vain. With great difficulty, she tried to repeat herself and definitely wouldn''t allow her to repeat the same old path as she did in her previous life.


    As for Mei Hong''s current thoughts, Qi Qi Jian could guess a few things. Mei Hong seemed to have reached a dead end and if she wanted to change her fate, she would need to know so many things in advance. Relying on these things, becoming rich was a piece of cake for her, so why did she need to hold on to Fang Zhijun for so long? If Fang Zhijun had such a deep obsession, he probably wouldn''t be able to let go of his title as the wife of the general.


    Mei Hong''s sudden action not only caused Zheng Qiqi to be stunned, it also surprised the three drug dealers at the scene. They clearly did not expect this hostage to have such a bold move, but they were only stunned for a few seconds.


    "This is bad!" Zheng Qi knew that the drug dealer''s purpose of chasing her was to once again use Mei Hong as a hostage and hold her hostage. If she let him succeed, then their actions would be even more passive, she definitely would not let things develop to such a state, but seeing this drug dealer raise a gun with one hand and press it against his waist, she could not do anything excessive to provoke him.


    The moment Mei Hong made his move, Fang Zhijun had already noticed it. He desperately waved his hand towards Mei Hong, indicating for her to hide. Mei Hong, however, did not have the energy to look at the hand gesture and could only focus on running towards him.


    Fang Zhijun originally wanted to leap out and pull Mei Hong to hide, but just as he was about to charge out, he saw the drug dealer''s actions. Thinking back to what Zheng Qi said earlier, that the drug dealer might have explosives on his waist, he immediately retracted his foot that he stepped on, not daring to make another move.


    Just like this, Mei Hong didn''t even have the time to run over to Fang Zhijun''s side before she fell into the hands of the drug dealers once again. Mei Hong couldn''t understand why these commandos would helplessly watch as she fell into the hands of these fugitives.


    "Mei Hong, don''t move!" Zheng Qi saw Mei Hong''s actions with his sharp eyes and immediately shouted out to stop her. However, it was clear that it was too late for this warning.


    The restaurant instantly fell into a deathly silence. Everyone stared at the two people standing in the middle of the hall with their eyes wide open. Mei Hong stared at the lead that had been pulled off in her hands. She didn''t even have the time to hide the panic on her face.


    The drug dealer had not expected the explosives at his waist to be pulled down in this kind of situation.


    Even though it was just a few seconds, to everyone present, it felt like a century.


    "Team Fang, all the floors have been inspected. There are still three households that have not heard the knock on the door before. Under the guidance of the special police, they are now in the process of evacuating. Preliminary estimates indicate that they will need about three minutes to evacuate."


    There were also three households, which meant that there were at least three more people in danger. If each household had three to five people, the number of ordinary people in danger would be between nine and fifteen. This number might seem small, but if the words'' number of casualties'' were added in front of these numbers, it would be a very large amount of data.


    Without time to think, Zheng Qiqi immediately stood up out of instinct and rushed into the box. As he rushed in, he shouted, "Run, run!"


    Hearing Zheng Qiqi''s shout, everyone present suddenly moved, as if the originally paused button had been restarted.


    The first one to run out was Mei Hong. She didn''t forget to pull the stunned Fang Zhijun at the side. This was really embarrassing for him.


    "No, I''m not leaving. I''m going to save Captain Zheng." Amidst the chaos, a voice suddenly sounded.


    "Zhan Feng, at this time, can you not go crazy? We can''t let Captain Zheng die in vain! Captain Zheng, run!"


    In less than half a minute, everyone had left the restaurant. The special police officers outside the restaurant had also retreated more than ten meters away. They didn''t know the power of the explosives, so they could only try their best to retreat to a relatively safe place.


    "Have the people upstairs left yet?" Even though he knew that it was impossible for the people upstairs to completely evacuate in such a short period of time, Zheng Qi still did not give up.


    "Captain Zheng, come out first. Don''t worry about anything else." The commandos in the command vehicle shouted at the walkie-talkie. The most dangerous one right now was Captain Zheng, why was she still thinking about someone else.


    "I want to as well, but I''m afraid it''s too late." If it was possible, she wouldn''t want to die. She was still so young, and moreover, she was the only child in the family. If she died, the old man and her parents, the white-haired man, would send the black-haired man away with their hearts full of sorrow.


    Zheng Qi looked at the drug dealer who was about to go crazy from the torture of the protective film and could not help but mock him in his heart. If he knew earlier this day would come, he would not have done it this way.


    If the people upstairs had already safely evacuated, they would definitely inform her immediately so that she would be at ease. At this moment, they were unwilling to answer the question directly, so she was afraid that those people would still be upstairs, unable to evacuate in time.


    If she wanted to reduce the damage, what should she do now?


    Zheng Qi surveyed his surroundings but could not find any useful tools. From the sweat that was growing on the head of the drug dealer in front of him, he was afraid that this bomb would explode very soon.


    77 sat behind his desk, looking at the projection on the wall, he couldn''t help but clench his fists.


    This was the first time she was unable to accept a mission as easily as dying in front of him.


    "No!" Qi Qi suddenly stood up from her office chair and exclaimed out loud. Following her cry of surprise, a loud explosion came from the screen.

 C52

    Perhaps this was the conviction of a soldier. They would rather have their bones destroyed than to just leave nothing behind to ensure the safety of the masses.


    But what about Fang Zhijun? Why did he choose to flee the moment he was in danger?


    Qi Qi Qi sat powerlessly in her chair and looked coldly at the development of that world after Zheng Qiqi''s death.


    Zheng Qiqi died valiantly from his duty. Although there were still some casualties among the residents who did not evacuate upstairs, the number of casualties was much smaller than originally estimated.


    Zheng Qi was still young, only in her early thirties. She had good military training and many years of experience in the army. If nothing happened to her, with her own ability and the Zheng Family''s connections, her future would be bright. But she had lost her life in this mission.


    In order to give an explanation to the public and to give an explanation to the Zheng Family, the military decided that this mission should still be decorated with peace, with emphasis on Zheng Qi''s dedication and the medal of martyrdom given to him.


    Since this was an action worthy of praise, naturally, no one could be punished. Denying it, wasn''t that slapping his own face?


    On the surface, it was supposed to be peaceful, but everyone knew it.


    The Zheng Family learned the truth from the soldiers led by Zheng Qiqi. They knew that Fang Zhijun was responsible for a large part of his death.


    As a result, Fang Zhijun was transferred to a more remote area, and Mei Hong naturally went with him.


    Moreover, during that mission, she did not forget him at the most critical moment, and it was she who had pulled him away from danger. Although Fang Zhijun did not say anything, from his recent performance, Mei Hong knew that Fang Zhijun was already in her pocket, and the rest of her life depended on time to hone her skills.


    Seeing this, Qi Qi Qi knew that the end of the story was already very clear. Mei Hong, as a reincarnated woman, had relied on her own hard work and persistence to reap the rewards of love and career. It was just that he pitied Zheng Qi. He should have gotten along well with Fang Zhijun, but because of the appearance of the reborn girl, he had been completely reduced to cannon fodder.


    The target of this quest had moved her, made her feel heartache. Even after she had died, she had never once blamed fate for being unfair to her, rather she had given up her own soul, only because she wanted to save those innocent and implicated people, and also because she wanted to drive out Fang Zhijun, who was not very ambitious, from the army. She had never truly sought anything for herself.


    When Qi Qi opened her eyes again, she saw a festive scene, as well as a red tablecloth. Qi Qi quickly realized that she had entered the mission, and the scene now should be her and Fang Zhijun''s engagement banquet. She remembered that the only time Zheng Qiqi had been in such an environment was when she was engaged, but unfortunately, her engagement party had become a joke in the eyes of others because of Mei Hong''s rebirth.


    "Qi Qi, what do you think we should do?" The old man was sitting in the banquet hall with the Zheng Family, Fang Zhi Jun, and Mei Hong left. His aged hands were tightly holding the crutches in his hands, his brows were tightly knitted, and his sharp eyes were sweeping over the three young men in front of him.


    Qi Qi Qi was stunned for a moment, she remembered that Zheng Qi was just silent and did not say anything. It was because of her attitude that the Zheng Family did not have Fang Zhijun to act, because all the Zheng Family elders present knew that Zheng Qi still had feelings for Fang Zhijun.


    But right now, even the original Zheng Qiqi had been utterly disappointed by Fang Zhijun. How could she leave Fang Zhijun with the chance to start all over again?


    "Grandfather, although Fang Zhijun has his difficulties, he still has a marriage contract with Ms. Mei. I know that in most of the villages in the country, such a marriage is still recognized as valid, and since Fang Zhijun is already married, he has concealed the truth and is betrothed to me again. I cannot accept this kind of marriage no matter what, so naturally, this marriage has to end."


    Hearing this, Fang Zhijun suddenly raised his head and looked at her in surprise. How could this woman, who had once chased after him, suddenly turn hostile in an instant? He was at fault for this matter, but he shouldn''t have endured such a severe punishment.


    "Seventh Brother, have you made up your mind? "If this is done to you, it will be detrimental to your reputation. In the future, you ¡­" His mother looked worriedly at him.


    She was a mother after all, so she was interested in her daughter''s future happiness. If the Zheng Family could bear it this time and suppress this matter, then they could at least find a better partner in the future.


    "Mom, there are so many guests here today. Even if we suppress this matter, they are still well aware why we are deceiving ourselves." Qi Qi turned her head back to the silent father. "Dad, I remember you taught me since I was a child that black and white is still the best thing to do in this world. Don''t put a bit of grey in the middle of it, right is right, wrong is wrong, wrong is wrong, we need the courage to admit our mistakes so that we won''t make a mistake next time."


    This grandson of his had always been a treasure in his heart, but she was also the child he owed the most. This child had been so lonely since he was young, lacking the company of the family''s elders, yet she was so good looking by herself. How could he not feel heartache?


    If Septimus really did like Fang Zhijun, the old man had also made up his mind that he would put forth all of his face, use his connections, and forcefully suppress this scandal to give Fang Zhijun another chance. But now, since Seventh Seven had said so, he still had to respect her wishes.


    Please don''t blame Brother Zhijun, this is all my fault. If I didn''t do something that let Brother Zhijun down, Brother Zhijun wouldn''t even mention me, so Miss Zheng mistook Brother Zhijun for being single. This is all my fault, please let Brother Zhijun go.


    Mei Hong had been quietly listening by the side the entire time. She had only revealed her identity when she first entered the arena to prevent the engagement banquet, but after that, she did not say a single word because she knew that at a time like this, it was better for her to pretend to be pitiful and stand by the side. This way, at least everyone would think that she was a weak person and the balance in their hearts would be leaning towards her.


    But now, it was time for her to step forward.


    "Shut up. Do you have the right to speak here?" At this moment, he had not been together with Mei Hong for a long time, nor had he received a large amount of economic assistance from Mei Hong.


    Now that Mei Hong had appeared, his good marriage had been ruined, and it was even extremely likely that she would ruin the life he had spent for so many years. It was already rare for him to remain standing and not make a move against her.


    Hearing Fang Zhijun''s rebuke, Mei Hong''s eyes instantly turned red. She bit her lips, looking like a vexed wife.


    Everyone thought that Mei Hong would obediently move to the side. However, no one expected that this unremarkable village girl would do something that would make everyone flabbergasted.


    She actually knelt down and kowtowed to the Zheng Family members.


    "Today''s matter is all my fault. Please don''t punish Brother Zhijun, okay? If you don''t want me to show up, I can go back to the country right away. "


    Qi Qi Qi saw that Mei Hong was putting on an act in front of everyone, but remained silent. She first raised her head to look at Fang Zhijun''s face, which was getting redder and redder, and then she started to speak.


    "Fang Zhijun, let''s give up on our marriage. From now on, we will return to the bridge and return to the road. As for now, with your wife kneeling here, do you have the heart to continue watching her like this? "


    Mei Hong was putting on a show to soften their hearts and let Fang Zhijun stay behind. She wanted to find a chance to stay by his side and change Fang Zhijun''s mind. This plan of hers was good, but it would still depend on whether she was willing to give it to her or not.


    Fang Zhijun had always been held in the palm of his hand by Zheng Qiqi, so how could he have heard her use such a tone when she talked to him? He looked at the surrounding Zheng Family members, and his already flushed face turned red, even showing signs of turning black.


    "Get up." Fang Zhijun pulled up Mei Hong, who was still kneeling on the ground, completely ignoring the muffled groans Mei Hong let out from his strenuous tugging.

 C53

    "I was wrong in handling this matter. I am willing to accept any punishment from my superiors. I just hope that Chief won''t kick me out on account of my years of hard training. Please grant me your wish, Chief."


    Originally, after his relationship with Zheng Qiqi was confirmed, Fang Zhijun had already called him Grandpa Zheng, but now that the marriage was over, he called him Chief again.


    The old man looked at Fang Zhijun, who was standing straight in front of him. He also felt upset, not only because of his grandson''s daughter''s rough road of love, but also because of this hardworking young man from the countryside.


    He did not appreciate Fang Zhijun''s ability to handle matters, but he could not deny that this kid was someone who could endure hardships, but...


    Old Man Zheng raised his head and looked at his grandson''s calm expression. In the end, he hardened his heart and said, "I won''t interfere in this matter. We''ll follow the rules."


    Although he and Mei Hong didn''t have a marriage certificate, as Qi Qi had just said, many people in the countryside recognized the legality of a marriage, not as a certificate, but as a grand wedding held in their hometown.


    He and Mei Hong had held a wedding at their hometown, and after Mei Hong eloped with someone, the Fang family did not officially go to the Mei family to break the engagement. Based on this situation, he and Mei Hong were still an official couple.


    Thinking about this, Fang Zhijun''s gaze towards Mei Hong became even more resentful. How many times did this woman have to destroy him before she was willing to accept it? Back then, he had liked her so much, but she had made him wear a green hat because of a few sweet words from others, making him unable to raise his head up in front of his family and elders.


    Now, it wasn''t easy for him to walk out of the shadow of affection and successfully develop a relationship with Zheng Qi, but at such an important moment in the engagement banquet, this woman had single-handedly ruined his hard-earned happiness and future.


    Mei Hong felt uncomfortable under Fang Zhijun''s resentful gaze. She involuntarily shrunk her shoulders and wanted to say a few more words, but before she could do so, she was swept with a glance from Fang Zhijun, scaring her to the point where she didn''t dare to open her mouth again.


    She had originally thought that in this life, she would be able to be calm and collected no matter what the circumstances were. Previously, she had thrown off that trash of a man, returned to her hometown in time to obtain the understanding of the Fang family''s two elders, and with her own foresight of what would happen in the future, she had managed to earn a lot of money. But today, in this banquet hall, she felt as if her future had become uncertain.


    But soon, Mei Hong adjusted her state of mind. She was panicking because she had never experienced such a scene in her previous life. It was her first time facing the pressure of so many people in power, so it was hard to avoid showing her fear.


    Ever since they returned from the banquet, the atmosphere of the Zheng Family had always been low. Old Master Zheng sat on the sofa in the living room without saying a word while Zheng''s mother sat beside his father.


    Father Zheng looked at his precious daughter, who was sitting on the sofa opposite him, and let out a long sigh.


    "Dad, you''re tired too. Rest early. Tomorrow morning, there will be a lot of things that you will need your help with."


    Old Man Zheng knocked the cane in his hand heavily on the ground, then shook his head slowly. The expression on his face was one of unspeakable heaviness and heartache.


    "Qi Qi, you should also go to bed early. You''ve tormented yourself so much today. Before you go to sleep tonight, I want to ask you about your heart. What is your real choice in heart?" As long as it''s what you really want, Grandpa will follow you. "


    Old Man Zheng''s upbringing had always been strict. Even when it came to indulging his only granddaughter, he had never said anything so lacking in principles. It was evident that what had happened today had greatly moved the old tutor''s heart.


    "Grandpa, dad, and mom, don''t worry about me. What happened today was the result of me thinking too much into it. Before I fell in love with Fang Zhijun, I should have fully understood his past, and because I made such a hasty decision due to a moment of passion and without knowing anything about his past, the Zheng Family fell into such an awkward situation."


    "Grandfather, what I said in the banquet hall just now was my attitude. Whether it''s for myself or for the Zheng Family, I won''t go back on my word even if it''s for the reputation of our military region. "I''ve thought about it, your evaluation of Fang Zhijun is accurate, his character is indeed difficult to handle, and I am not thinking about revenge, but thinking that he is really unsuitable for the army. If we can use this matter to get him to leave the army, it might be a good thing."


    Old Man Zheng looked doubtfully at Qi Hua, his brows slightly knitted. What was going on with this child today? Yesterday, he had solemnly vowed to protect Fang Zhijun''s future, and his face was brimming with the absolute trust of Fang Zhijun. However, it had only been a single day, why did it seem like Fang Zhijun had become disheartened? Was it really because of Fang Zhijun''s concealment and Mei Hong''s sudden appearance?


    Of course, the old man wouldn''t deny such a thing. If it happened to any woman, it would be extremely exciting, but he was confident in his granddaughter. She wasn''t someone who would completely deny someone just because of a single matter.


    Facing the old man''s questioning eyes, Qi Qi Qi couldn''t help but feel her heart skip a beat. She had acted too anxiously, and her heartache for Zheng Qi had caused her to lose her ability to analyze and judge calmly. She only wanted to fulfill Zheng Qiqi''s wish to have Fang Zhijun leave the army as soon as possible, but she had ignored the doubt in the face of her sudden change in attitude.


    As such, Qi Qi Qi lowered her eyes, and a tired and helpless smile appeared on her face.


    This slight change in expression, in the eyes of the elders of the Zheng Family, filled their hearts with pain.


    This child had spoken with such a strong and firm tone. In the end, it was all because of this that his heart had been hurt.


    "Alright, as long as it''s something Seventh Seven wants, grandpa will promise you. If you don''t want to see Fang Zhijun again, grandpa will let him go far away."


    Under the gaze of Old Man Zheng and his parents, he walked step by step upstairs to his own room. With his slumped shoulders, lowered head, and slightly bent back, it wouldn''t be too much to say that it hurt a bit to say that he was bleeding under Old Man Zheng''s gaze.


    Sigh ~ As grandfathers and parents, we owe this child too much. When this child was young, we were too busy working, so we didn''t grow up with her. When this child grew up, when it was time for us to fall in love and get married, we weren''t able to properly guard her.


    "Dad, don''t think too much. 77 is a child of our Zheng Family, I believe she''ll definitely be able to get through this. Fang Zhijun, we didn''t look too good from the start, but if we go in another direction and cancel the engagement, it might be a good thing for the future."


    Old Man Zheng heaved a heavy sigh, then shook his head and walked back into the room step by step. He said in a low voice, "Let''s hope so. Ai ~"


    The next morning, before everyone else had woken up and put on their training clothes, Qi Qi left the Zheng family''s residence. Following Zheng Qiqi''s memory, she ran to the Zheng family''s sports field, where there was a standard 400-meter track.


    After a night of thinking, she decided not to spend too much energy on Fang Zhijun''s case. Her behavior yesterday was nothing like a woman who had been hurt by love. It was too suspicious.


    Zheng Qi''s wish for Fang Zhijun to leave the army was to avoid the accident that would happen a few years later. He hoped that those innocent people would be able to save their lives.


    In order to avoid arousing suspicion from the surrounding people, Qi Qi Qi decided to leave Fang Zhi Jun''s matters to the old man, while she herself focused all of her energy on improving her combat ability.


    The tragedy of Zheng Qi was that none of those present were bomb disposal experts, which was why they were so passive when facing the bomb wrapped around the drug dealer''s waist. If she could grasp the relevant knowledge in time, perhaps she could even save herself in that situation.


    While jogging along the track, Qi Qi was organizing the thoughts she had in her head for the night before. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around to disturb her, she wanted to make clear as soon as possible what she needed to do in the future as well as the priorities for what she needed to do.


    "What is it? "Miss Zheng, are you still in the mood to jog here today?"


    A sudden voice sounded out, and Qi Qi looked towards the source of the voice. She only saw a man with a buzz cut running to the front left side of her head, leaving her with the back of her head and a face that she couldn''t clearly see.


    Although his facial features could not be seen clearly, the side of his face still gave off a firm and unyielding feeling.


    Qi Qi quickened her steps, wanting to run in front of this person to clearly see his face so that she could judge this person''s identity. This way, she could easily answer.


    But this person seemed to know her thoughts. Qiqi ran a bit faster, he also ran a bit faster, and Qiqi ran a bit slower. He also ran a bit slower, maintaining a distance of two steps.


    After chasing each other like this for half an hour, Qi Seventh''s clothes were already soaked in sweat, but it was all in vain. Seven Seventh''s anger also ran out. She abruptly stopped, supporting herself with both hands as she panted heavily.


    She needed someone to support her when she walked in the garden. It had only been a day since she had entered the mission. Although Zheng Qiqi''s physical fitness was very good, she was still not used to having such a high amount of exercise.

 C54

    Just when Qi Qi was panting like a cow and silently cursed the person''s boredom, a pair of training shoes appeared in front of her.


    Her face was covered in a layer of alluring rouge due to her exercise. Her appearance could not be considered outstanding, and even compared to ordinary women, her sword-like eyebrows seemed a little too unyielding. However, as she faced the morning sun, her face shone with an enchanting radiance.


    When Qi Qi raised her head, she only saw a tall voice standing there with its back facing the sun. Due to the backlighting, she still couldn''t clearly see this person''s face. She could only see that this person''s body emitted the morning sunlight.


    "It seems like Miss Zheng has wasted a lot of energy during this romance. It''s only been half an hour. What''s wrong?" and you can''t keep up? "


    Qi Qi stood up, wanting to take a step to the left of this person so that she could clearly see his face from a different angle.


    This time, this person stood on the spot very obediently without moving. When she saw this person''s face, the first thing that entered her eyes were a pair of eyes that seemed to have a smile that wasn''t a smile. Those eyes sparkled, giving her a strange feeling of familiarity.


    Her bright eyes were like black ink, giving her a resolute and decisive look. Her nose was firm, and her lips were thin. From start to finish, this person''s body had a hard line, as if nothing was soft at all.


    However, this person''s tone of voice was vastly different from his tough outer appearance. This scoundrel-like tone made it impossible for anyone to associate him with this person.


    "Mu Chen?" After rummaging through his memories for a long time, Qi Qi finally found this person''s name. If she remembered correctly, this person was the one that bullied her the most when she was young.


    "Little girl, why did getting engaged break your brain? You don''t even remember me? " This guy really didn''t care whether she was mentioned or not. Others might not be able to avoid her, but he had chosen this matter twice over. Was he doing it on purpose, or did he do it on purpose?


    She walked past him, and after taking a few steps she began to jog again. The plan she had made for herself was to run 2 hours every morning, and while Zheng Qi''s physical fitness was very good, at the moment she was not used to it yet. In order not to arouse suspicion, but also in order to further train her body, she had to keep up with Zheng Qi''s physique as soon as possible.


    "Little girl, you''re quite capable. Not long after I left the country, you made yourself a fiance, and now you''re betrothed to me so quickly. Look, if you''re in a hurry, it''ll be easy for you to do bad things.


    "If you don''t speak, no one will treat you as a dead person. Didn''t your primary school teacher teach you that a well-educated person can''t sprinkle salt on other people''s wounds?"


    "Ah, so you have a wound. How come I heard that Miss Zheng invited her lover to the engagement banquet to receive punishment from the army?"


    Qi Qi suddenly stopped running and looked at the people who had been blabbering on and on all this time, running in front of her.


    When Mu Chen stopped and turned around to look at her doubtfully, Qi Qi Qi suddenly quickened her pace and ran to the front. When she passed by Mu Chen, she stomped heavily on his feet.


    "Ya, I''m sorry. A heartbroken person will often accidentally hurt the people around them."


    Mu Chen grimaced in pain as he hugged his leg and jumped around a few times on the spot. As he looked at his masterpiece, his heart was filled with satisfaction.


    She had put all the weight on his body just now, so she couldn''t cripple his foot, but pain was unavoidable. Furthermore, she had even stepped on his toes just now, saying that all ten fingers were linked to his heart.


    "Mu Chen, don''t just mention me, you''ve also delayed your own progress by coming out of the country. I was like that just now, and you can''t dodge it? Don''t just think about playing all day, train more as well. I see that the tendons and muscles on your body are almost all gone now. "


    Seven Seven Seven ran backwards while hugging his feet and shouting out in pain. The pressure that had been pressing down on Mu Chen since the day before he entered the mission had been greatly reduced.


    After ridiculing Mu Chen, she turned around and continued her journey. However, she had already turned around, so she didn''t notice the man who was originally squatting on the ground. At the same time she turned around, she also slowly stood up from the ground.


    "Little girl, we meet again!" Unlike the ruffian manner in which he had spoken earlier, Mu Chen''s tone was calm and gentle at this moment. If one carefully thought about it, there was a hint of happiness in his eyes from the reunion after a long time.


    When Qi Qi went back to the place where she met Mu Chen, she found that he had already left for an unknown time.


    Qi Qi Qi only looked at where Mu Chen was before before she continued to run in circles. She muttered to herself, "He appeared out of nowhere and left out of nowhere, what a strange person."


    He sat far away in a corner of the banquet hall, personally watching as Qi Qi Jian calmly faced off against so many guests. After all the guests had left, he did not immediately leave, but instead sat down in a secluded corner.


    Therefore, he had witnessed the words and decisions of the Zheng Family members.


    He originally didn''t want to be involved in this matter, but at one point he felt a familiar aura. That was why he followed the guidance in his heart and stayed behind to wait for things to progress.


    When he saw Seventh Seven''s bright eyes open and calmly saying those words, the guess in his heart was finally confirmed.


    Qi Qi finally returned to the Zheng Family after running for the time that she had set for herself. As soon as she entered the house, she met everyone''s worried eyes.


    Old Man Zheng''s face was solemn while his father, who was standing beside him, was frowning. His mother was even wiping her tears away with a tissue.


    Hearing the sound of the door opening, the three of them turned their heads to look. When they saw who it was, they all let out a sigh of relief.


    "Qi Qi, where did you run off to? It''s still early in the morning." His mother stepped forward to welcome him.


    Qi Qi immediately understood from Zheng''s mother''s relaxed expression why everyone had such a serious expression. They probably thought they went to do something stupid in the morning when they couldn''t see her.


    Grandpa, dad, I just haven''t had any exercise for a long time. I was afraid that after two days, the army wouldn''t be able to keep up with my training, so I went out and ran a few laps.


    Seeing Qi Qi Qi''s smiling face, Old Master Zheng nodded his head in gratification. "It''s good that nothing''s happened. If you want to go out in the future, let us know so we don''t worry."


    His mother was immediately displeased when she heard his words. "Why are you back so early? Didn''t you take ten days off?" You just need to rest at home for a few days. Look at yourself, you''ve already lost a lot of weight, and you''re still basking in such a dark place. "


    Zheng''s mother didn''t agree to enter the army from the beginning. Even if she did, she hoped to become an art soldier or an army doctor. Girls still needed to do these jobs to be able to make their families feel at ease.


    She had worshipped the military since she was young, and she loved the iron and iron life in the army camp. Her father and her father were her idols, and she hoped that one day, she could become a member of the army and become a soldier protecting the nation. Although the literary and art soldiers were also part of the army, the difference was too great compared to the life she wanted.


    Qi Qi Qi pulled Zheng''s mother''s hands and sat on the sofa and explained patiently, "Mom, I know you feel sorry for me, but when I asked for leave from the army, it was to organize the engagement banquet. Since the engagement banquet was cancelled, there was no need to do the rest of it.


    "Why did you go back so early?" Is the army not going to run without you? "Don''t tell me you''re being unreasonable. Stay home and let mom take care of your body. A girl, don''t fight and kill all day long."


    At the end of the day, his mother was still worried about him leaving her line of sight after what they had done to him. She was worried that he would keep everything in his heart.


    Qi Qi Qi cast her gaze at Old Master Zheng and his father, hoping that they would speak up to persuade her. After all, they had voted in favor of her joining the army.


    But at this moment, his father pretended as if he didn''t see it. It was clear that he wasn''t going to help her.


    "Mom, if you insist, then I will respect your suggestion to come back to the army after the vacation is over. It''s just that I''m in good health and really don''t need to recuperate, so I''ll stay at home to accompany you for the next few days."


    77''s original intention was to quickly devote himself to training, and adapt to high intensity training in the shortest time possible.


    However, since her parents were so insistent, she didn''t have to follow her own plan. To be honest, she had to go back to the army as soon as possible because she was worried that she wasn''t used to living in the military.


    She wasn''t worried about revealing her identity to others. After all, she was herself, so she wasn''t afraid of testing for DNA or anything like that. Furthermore, she had just experienced such a tragic engagement banquet, so it was understandable that her personality and behavior were different.


    What she was worried about was that if she did not complete the training program well, she would lose the opportunity to be promoted in the army.


    Of course, this had to do with her usual hard work and training as well as the Zheng Family''s influence. However, her plan was to add a year or two of military academy training to her original promotion path, since she could not systematically learn how to dismantle bombs in the army. If she wanted to be a specialist in this field, it was more appropriate for her to be a military academy.


    She had basically taken advantage of all the time she could spare to make this trip, forcing herself to squeeze out a year or two''s worth of time. One could only imagine how difficult it would be, but she had no other choice. In order to effectively avoid the accident that would happen a few years later, she would have to squeeze out some time to make it happen.

 C55

    In the last two days at home, Qi Qi insisted on running in the morning every day. She braced herself to face the disapproving eyes of Zheng''s mother and continued with the physical training in her memory.


    There were two paths in front of her right now: one was to redouble her efforts to follow Zheng Qiqi''s original path, and to squeeze out as much time as possible to study; the other was to get rid of the old route that Zheng Qiqi had taken, and find an opportunity to go to military academy first; after graduation, she would find an opportunity to enter the same unit as Zheng Qiqi.


    However, it was difficult to find an opportunity to learn how to dismantle a bomb in this method. There was one method that could be used, which was to prepare an expert on bomb disposal in advance before the mission set out, or to shoot down a drug dealer with a bomb as soon as he entered the scene. However, both methods had different degrees of difficulty in implementing them.


    No matter which military region the bomb disposal expert was in, they would rarely have the resources to do so, and general strike operations would never be able to do so. The most important thing was to hand over the initiative to others, and 77 did not like the feeling of being in a passive situation.


    There was also another problem that needed to be considered. Through this engagement, if she really could successfully chase Fang Zhijun out of the army, then there was a very high chance that someone else would replace Fang Zhijun in the original mission. At that time, would there be any other accidents?


    She believed that with the Zheng Family''s influence in the military, it would not be difficult for her to enroll in the military academy. However, if she did not do the same, it would be difficult for her to return to her original path. After all, there were so many external factors to consider.


    After thinking for a few days, Qi Qi could not make up her mind. One day, she accompanied the lordmaster on a walk and listened to some of his past stories.


    The old man sighed, "Everything has to be resolved from the root causes. A wise and farsighted leader won''t limit his eyes to the matters at hand.


    The old man''s unintentional exclamation had actually opened up a new perspective for Qi Qi.


    The main reason for the delay in the beginning of that operation was because she wanted to capture these drug dealers alive and let them bring out the big fish behind the scenes. As a very outstanding soldier, her true wish should not be to avoid the deaths of the innocent civilians, but to capture the big fish behind the scenes and avoid the misfortune of many more people.


    If she were to change her course of action now, then she would have to find out who the big fish was from now on. She could prevent the drug trade from happening from its roots, and that way, she could completely eliminate the innocent lives of ordinary people.


    The more Qi Qi Qi thought about it, the more reasonable it made sense. In the next few days, she didn''t care whether she should go to the military academy or go back to the army. Instead, she started to think about how she could participate in the tracking down with her current resources and ability.


    After thinking about it for a few days, one word suddenly appeared in his mind, ''undercover''.


    The Zheng Family only had a daughter like her, how could they agree to let her do such a dangerous thing. When Zheng Qiqi entered the special forces, her mother almost broke off from her mother''s relationship with her.


    Unless she had the ability to keep this a secret, the first thing she would face would not be the external trials, but the interrogation of her family.


    Qi Qi Qi carefully recalled the details of Zheng Qi''s military career in the past few years, hoping to find an opportunity to be a spy. Unfortunately, she had to carefully recall it several times, but couldn''t find any chance to do so.


    Under normal circumstances, if they infiltrated the enemy''s base, they would pick people from the police team. One reason was because they took off their police uniform and had an aura similar to that of an ordinary person, so it was easier for them to blend into the crowd.


    The police and the army were in two different systems, so how was she going to get close to the gangs?


    Just when he was at his wit''s end, someone came and opened another door for him.


    "Mu Chen?" When Qi Qi heard the doorbell and opened the door to see the person standing outside, a layer of doubt surfaced on her face. She remembered that aside from the unhappy childhood days of her childhood, they had not interacted at all.


    "What is it? For a guest to come knocking on my door, why didn''t you invite me in to take a seat? " The corner of Mu Chen''s mouth curled up into a frivolous smile as he charged towards Qi Qi Qi.


    The muscles on his face twitched slightly. This person really didn''t treat him as an outsider.


    "My parents and grandpa aren''t home, so if you want to find them, then you''ll have to come here for nothing. However, since you''re already here, come in and sit for a while."


    The meaning behind his words was that he was not close with him, so he definitely wouldn''t come looking for him. Since the person he was looking for wasn''t here, it was better for him to leave quickly and invite him in.


    Those with a good eye would usually politely decline at this time, indicating that they would come again to disturb him. However, the person standing opposite of Qi Hua was someone who completely didn''t make sense.


    "Is that so? I had originally wanted to visit the old man and play chess with him, but last time, the old man lost a game of chess for me and kept on saying that he wanted to take revenge on me. Heh, now that I''ve come to deliver myself, he''s not here. "


    Just as Qi Qi Qi thought that Mu Chen was about to leave after saying these regretful words, she put her hand on the doorknob and was about to close the door, but the person who was speaking about such a pity suddenly dodged and walked past her to the living room''s sofa and sat down, then crossed her legs without a trace of politeness.


    "You ¡­" Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the person sitting on the sofa.


    "I haven''t had any water for the entire morning. I''m so thirsty that I''ve died from thirst. I''ll have to trouble Miss Zheng to pour me a cup of water to quench my thirst."


    If he could, Qi Qi really wanted to kick him out, but when she lowered her head and thought about it, although this person didn''t know any martial arts, the Mu family''s old man was her grandfather''s old comrade after all.


    Resisting the impatience in his heart, Qi Qi poured a glass of water from the kitchen and didn''t put any tea leaves in it.


    When the water was handed over to Mu Chen, he remained unmoved as he drank it all in one gulp. It seemed that he was really thirsty.


    Qi Qi had been standing at the side, watching, not even sitting down. From the top of her head to her toes, her whole body emitted the aura of someone quickly leaving after drinking.


    But after drinking the water, the man who looked satisfied and half reclined on the sofa seemed to have gone blind, completely disregarding Qi Hua''s expression, as if he had no intention of leaving at all.


    "I say, have you heard about your former fianc¨¦?"


    Qi Qi frowned and thought for a while before understanding who this fella was talking about his former fianc¨¦. She had been bothered by the plans for the past few days, and didn''t have the time to care about Fang Zhijun''s future.


    "We are not engaged yet! "Not an ex-fianc¨¦, at most an ex-boyfriend."


    "Oh, yeah, that''s right. Look at my mouth. It''s an ex-boyfriend, not a ex-fiance. I heard that your ex-boyfriend was pretty miserable after that."


    At first, Qi Qi didn''t want to get any information from Mu Chen, so she always felt that the words that came out of his mouth had no credibility. However, at this moment, her curiosity was piqued by what he had said.


    "What happened to him?"


    "As you wish, Fang Zhijun left. In view of his previous good performance, this could be considered a transfer. He was transferred to the public security system and started from the bottom."


    Qi Qi Jian raised her eyebrows and said, "That shouldn''t be too bad, right? With what he''s learned, it should be easy for him to get the appreciation of his superiors."


    Hearing Qi Qi Qi''s answer, Mu Chen revealed a sly smile.


    "It''s not bad to transfer to the public security system, but the bad thing is, my old man is the head of the public security system. Tell me, if I ask someone to take a breath for you, will he suffer or not?"


    "I don''t have any big grudges with him. At most, I''m just disappointed in him and never thought of punishing him. As for whether or not you want to open your mouth, that will depend on whether or not you have a personal grudge with him."


    Seven to seven did not care about what Mu Chen meant by that. Not to mention that she had never thought of punishing Fang Zhijun, even if she did, she would not use the hands of others.

 C56

    "Miss Zheng, if I didn''t see it with my own eyes, I wouldn''t dare to believe it. Fang Zhijun is the person you once wanted to marry. Your behavior is a bit heartless, and there isn''t a trace of the reaction a normal woman should have after being betrayed by her boyfriend."


    "How do you think a normal woman would react?" Qi Qi sat down on the sofa at the side in amusement. She could tell that Mu Chen wasn''t here to find the old man and her parents. He had specifically come to stop her, and would probably be unable to send him away.


    "Even if it wasn''t just one cry, two quarrels and three hangovers, why don''t you at least scold that heartless man a few times? You shouldn''t hope for him to do well, right?"


    "Young Master Mu''s words have two mistakes. First, Fang Zhijun can''t be considered a heartless person, he''s only concealing that he had a history with another woman, and that history isn''t over yet." Secondly, you aren''t me, so how do you know that I didn''t curse him in my heart and didn''t expect anything from him? "


    "Is that so? Fine, I said the wrong thing. "Since we grew up together, as long as you say the word, Fang Zhijun, I''ll take care of it for you. How about it?"


    "Mu Chen, you''re so eager to help me vent my anger, what are you planning in your heart?"


    After so many missions, 77 had already formed the habit of not easily revealing her true thoughts in front of others. But now, facing such a ruffian like Mu Chen, she subconsciously revealed her true thoughts in her heart. She had a feeling that even if this person had other plans, he would definitely not harm her.


    "Who said I would help you vent your anger? I just have other plans, can''t I just help you?"


    Mu Chen winked at Qi Qi Jian and showed a strange expression. This action of his further strengthened his conviction that this person''s purpose for coming here today was not simple.


    "Come on, this person is not a simple person. Tell me, would he do it simply? If you have a goal, just say it. If I can''t agree, then don''t waste your time. "


    "Good, straightforward, then I''ll say it clearly. You know that my old man just got me from abroad and I''m working under him right now. I have some troublesome work on my hands and need your help."


    "Me? How can I help you? "Our family''s main forces are all in the army. Uncle Mu is in the public security system, so even if I wanted grandpa to help you, I still wouldn''t be able to. Did you find the wrong person?"


    Qi Qi directly understood Mu Chen''s words of asking her for help so she could ask the Zheng Family for help. She really couldn''t imagine how someone like her, who hadn''t been out of the military academy for many years, had the ability to help him.


    The last impression Mu Chen had in her mind was the image of him as a little overlord in his childhood. As a teenager, they had never come into contact with each other, and the only contact they had was when they met in the courtyard.


    As far as she knew, after he graduated from university, he was sent abroad by the Mu family. She had no idea what he did abroad, but according to what he said, this time he was captured by the Mu family and sent back to the public security system.


    Mu Chen smiled and straightened his sitting posture. The disrespectful expression from before was no longer present on his face.


    "I''m talking about asking for your help. I''m not talking about Grandpa or Uncle Zheng, nor about using your family''s influence in the army. What I''m talking about is your ability and the face that you haven''t shown in the public security system."


    Qi Qi Qi seemed to sense something from Mu Chen''s expression that had turned serious, but she still couldn''t figure out what was going on in her mind for a short period of time, so she directly voiced out the questions in her heart.


    "What do you want me to help you with?"


    "I need you to sneak into a drug organization with me."


    "Me!? Why me? Shouldn''t such an operation be arranged for the trustworthy people within you? "


    She was just thinking of finding a chance to be a spy when this opportunity was presented right in front of her eyes. She was really about to fall asleep when someone sent her a pillow, was there such a coincidence in this world?


    "This operation is very important. As the person in charge of this operation, I must ensure that the people who participate in this operation with me have never appeared in the public security system. Moreover, they must have a strong ability to protect themselves as I can''t guarantee her safety by my partners'' side at all times."


    This meant that there might be a traitor within the Public Security Office, so, they couldn''t be part of the public security system. The people who participated in the operation had to have a strong self-preservation ability, which meant that this operation''s danger level was very high.


    After she graduated from the military academy, she had been training in the army and rarely left the military. Not many people in the military region knew about her, not to mention the fact that she was part of the system''s public security department.


    Compared to his comrades-in-arms, his military attainments were definitely much better. He believed that he would have no problem if he were to protect himself and not talk about anything else.


    But there was one problem.


    "You said the precondition is that the people who participate in this plan cannot be seen by the public security system, but since Fang Zhijun transferred to the public security system, he has seen me. Aren''t you afraid that my identity will be revealed because of him?"


    In the past, it was impossible for him to immediately come into contact with important tasks. Even if he recognized you, he wouldn''t be afraid, because I''m not prepared to hide your identity from him. You''re the third generation, and because of your emotional trauma, you left the army.


    "Then, you just said that you would like me to participate in this operation with you. How are you going to explain your identity? Has your Mu family been serving in the public security system all this time?"


    Mu Chen smiled confidently as he picked up the cup on the table that had already finished drinking water and played with it.


    "I... "I did not serve in the Public Security Department, at least on the surface. I went abroad early on, so I was used to a drunken life abroad and had just returned home. I did not want to struggle in a state organ like my father did, and only wanted to use my identity as a third generation official to fish for large amounts of money to satisfy my selfish desires.


    Seven or seven were already very intelligent. Moreover, she had more experience than most people. Therefore, with just a slight poke, the outline of the entire plan appeared in her mind.


    "You want me to use my status as a playboy to lure those people in and find us?"


    Mu Chen slightly twisted his right thumb and middle finger, and gave a beautiful snap, "That''s right, in today''s society, many people use the name of their fathers to intimidate people who want to enjoy themselves. It''s impossible for us to hide our identities, and rather than hide our identities and get found out, it would be better to let you take this opportunity to leave the army.


    As for me, I have never been employed in the Public Security Department from the beginning till the end. Due to certain fortuitous encounters, we have walked together, this kind of excuse is reasonable, no one will doubt me, and no one will ever connect us to the secret operation of the Public Security Department. Instead, they will seduce us because of our identity, allowing us to use our privileges to make profits for them. "


    This plan did not sound like a big problem, and it was actually quite feasible.


    But she thought of one thing, if she did that, how sad would it be for Old Man Zheng and Zheng''s parents to see her change without knowing it? Although Zheng''s mother said that girls shouldn''t fight and kill each other every day, Qi Qi knew that she was still proud of her daughter as an outstanding soldier. If she really did what Mu Chen said, then Zheng''s mother would definitely be very disappointed when she withdrew from the army.


    "Are you worried that Grandpa Zheng, Uncle Zheng, and Auntie Zheng will be disappointed in you?" Although these words were a question, Mu Chen was fairly certain that he could guess what she was thinking with a frown. This kind of understanding came without any reason, but he was able to sense her inner thoughts.


    "Don''t I have to worry? I don''t want to disappoint my family because of what you said about this mission, and even more so, I don''t want to make them sad. "


    "Hoh, Zheng Qiqi is only so-so. I even thought you were a rare person who understood the logic between gains and losses. Now, it seems that I''ve overestimated you!"


    After saying so, Mu Chen''s eyes slanted to the side as he glanced at seventy to seventy percent. seventy to seventy percent clearly knew that he was trying to goad Mu Chen into doing so, but he still couldn''t help but feel angry in his heart.


    She subconsciously wanted to retort against Mu Chen''s words, but when she saw the crafty smile on his face, she immediately realized that the moment she opened her mouth, she would fall into his trap.


    She took a few deep breaths to calm her anger. Then, she thought about her original plan. It was undeniable that this was a good opportunity for her to complete the mission.


    It was just like what Mu Chen had said, she knew how to choose between the pros and cons. It was just a moment of disappointment for the elders of the Zheng Family when she cooperated with Mu Chen, but if their plan succeeded, then not only would they be able to fulfill Zheng Qi''s wish in one go, but they would also be able to better fulfill her unspoken ambition. When that time came, the truth would be revealed to the world.


    "Who should we report to?"


    After considering it over and over again, Qi Qi still decided to participate in this operation.


    "Report to my dad about this operation." At this point, Mu Chen seemed to have thought of something and chuckled.


    At first, he didn''t understand why Mu Chen was laughing so happily. However, when he recalled what Mu Chen had said earlier, he couldn''t help but laugh.


    "You are a real privileged class!"


    "Each other, each other!"


    The matter of their cooperation was quickly settled by the two of them. Qi Qi Qi didn''t ask Mu Chen if her participation in the competition needed to be approved by a higher level. She knew that with Mu Chen''s character, if he could invite her, the organization''s internal affairs could naturally be settled easily.


    The first mission that Mu Chen had given to Seventh Brother was to withdraw from the army as soon as possible, and it was also reasonable to do so without arousing suspicion from anyone.


    In order to complete this task, after this, Qi Qi didn''t go out to train in public. In order to create the appearance of being hurt by love, she changed from her usual simple and unadorned appearance and started to enter and leave the major shopping malls, frequently buying luxury goods that she normally wouldn''t buy.

 C57

    At the beginning, she thought that her daughter was hurt emotionally, so it was understandable for her to be abnormal for a while. But when she saw that he was paying more and more attention to his appearance and hadn''t run in circles for a week, she gradually became more and more worried.


    However, when she told her father about it, he didn''t pay much attention to her. Instead, he advised her to let her relax first. He believed that his daughter had a sense of propriety.


    His parents thought that what his father said made sense, so they forcefully suppressed the uneasiness in their hearts and continued to observe him. They were afraid that he had said something wrong that would irritate his senses.


    In the depths of her heart, she had always believed that the calmness on the day of the engagement and the indifference of the following days were just too much of a shock to react to. The abnormality that followed instead meant that she was seriously injured, and as long as this wound healed, she would naturally recover.


    If he was here, he would be able to immediately realize that the way things were developing was very strange. However, it just so happened that when Qi Qi was secretly planning to leave the army, there was only a careless father and a loving mother at home.


    Therefore, when Old Master Zheng heard from the reports of his underlings that 77 had submitted his report on leaving the army without discussing it with anyone in the family, one could imagine how shocked he was.


    "Zheng Qi, explain everything to me clearly. What happened?" Old Man Zheng flung the report in his hands away. He leaned back on the sofa and looked at his newly created hand-painted fingernails seriously. This was the first time in so many years that he called his beloved granddaughter by name.


    "Didn''t grandpa already see it? Can''t I do something else?"


    With that, he didn''t look at the old man''s darkening face. Instead, he leaned over and extended his hands to his mother. "Mom, tell me, are these nails beautiful?"


    Before his mother could reply, he withdrew his hands and smiled brightly at her shocked expression. "Mom, I think what you said before was right. Girls should look like girls. You know, I was not stupid before, but I was good at my life and I didn''t dress up, and I actually rolled around in the mud. Other than training my useless muscles, what other uses do I have?"


    She could not believe that her daughter, who was so proud of being a soldier, would become like this. A few days ago, she was just fond of shopping in a shopping mall or buying clothes. How could her thoughts change so much in such a short amount of time, and she even said such words to her?


    His mother only felt that right now, her mind was filled with questions, and she had no idea how to respond to what Qi Qi had said.


    Qi Qi saw the dumbstruck look on her mother''s face and couldn''t help but feel a pang in her heart. However, there wasn''t the slightest change in her expression.


    Zheng''s father was a very straightforward person. He had originally been suppressing a ball of fire in his heart with all his might, so he did not burst out. Now that he saw Qi Hua''s reaction, the anger he forcefully suppressed resurfaced.


    "Qi Qi, what''s with your attitude? Grandfather asked you a question about why you didn''t answer properly, and why did you hand over your application form?"


    After hearing his father''s reprimand, Qi Qi Qi only pursed her lips, not showing any signs of reflecting on her words at all.


    Father Zheng still wanted to reprimand him a few more times, but he was cut off by a gesture from Old Master Zheng.


    He felt that this matter was a little strange. Even though he hadn''t spent much time with Qi Seventh because of his work, he was confident that he knew this granddaughter of his. It was impossible for her to change so quickly all of a sudden.


    "Seventh Brother, what difficulties do you have that you can tell us? Just like you said, we are a family, so what can a family not tell us? After all, Grandpa and your parents are so much older than you. Even if they can''t help out, they can at least give us some advice. "


    Qi Qi Qi was almost moved by the old gramps''s intentionally lowered voice and his persuasive words. She had just opened her mouth when she met everyone''s gazes of concern.


    She realized at once that she could not say that it was because they were her own family and would give her selfless love and care that she had decided to go undercover. They would never agree that she had to hide it from them, and that they would only react in the truest way, without knowing it, in order to confuse the people they were trying to confuse.


    "Dad, mom, grandpa, I really don''t have any difficulties. I ¡­"


    Before he could finish his complaints, his mother slapped him in the back. When he looked up, his mother had an expression of disappointment.


    "Seventh Brother, what happened to you? In just a few short days, it''s as if he''s a completely different person. "


    Qi Qi Qi touched the burning spot on her back, pouted her lips, and whispered, "There is no rule that says you can''t change your dreams!"


    Although Qi Qi Hua lowered her head, she could clearly feel the disappointment in the eyes of Zheng''s parents as they cast their gazes on her. She didn''t dare to raise her head to look, afraid that she would be exposed.


    "No matter what your purpose is, I will not agree to it. Leave the application form with me, and you can forget about handing over another copy. If you are tired, you can rest for a while. I will help you greet the army."


    Old Man Zheng stood up, his originally strong and robust body actually now slightly hunched over. He pushed aside the hand that his father was about to support him, and looked deeply at Qi Hua.


    "Seven, I hope there won''t be a day when I personally present you with this application for discharge from the army!"


    77 understood that this was the old gramps'' final chance to regret giving her a warning, but she didn''t want to regret it! Therefore, he was probably going to fail the old tutor''s hopes.


    After that, the old man didn''t know what to say to Zheng''s parents. From then on, it was as if the entire Zheng Family had never been disbanded before. It was as if everything was a dream.


    However, Qi Qi knew that her actions had disappointed everyone. Although they would still care about her, they did not mention anything about having her return to the military camp.


    Actually, she could choose not to complete the quest in this way and follow the trajectory of Zheng Qi''s life. As long as she was careful and guarded, she could successfully complete the quest, but she always felt that if she let Zheng Qi pay the price of her soul, she would only do that little thing.


    The deadline given by Mu Chen was quickly approaching, but Qi Qi Qi did not submit another application to the army according to her original plan. It could be said that she had tacitly accepted the old gramps'' decision, and subconsciously, she did not want to end this matter, so she hoped to leave some thought to her family.


    "You''re not going to file another application for discharge from the army?" Mu Chen sat on the horizontal bar high up in the air, his slender legs swaying uncontrollably. Under the moonlight, his exposed, tight body was still emitting a little bit of silver light.


    Qi Qi looked up at him and ignored him. She kept her head down as she stretched, casually throwing away the dress she wore at home.


    "Hey, I say, since you undress in front of me every night, aren''t you afraid of provoking my hot-blooded body?" Mu Chen didn''t care about Qi Qi''s cold attitude at all as he nimbly jumped off the horizontal bar. He bent over and used his fingers to gently hook up the snow-white long skirt that had been mercilessly tossed aside by his master, as well as his high heels ¡­


    77 straightened up, grabbed the skirt and shoes from his hands, and threw them on the other side of the platform.


    In this period of time, in order to hide things from others, she had always used the excuse of going out to play around, putting on a tight sports coat, then a long skirt or something like that as a cover. As for the shoes, they were too sudden for her to bring out, so she always got Mu Chen to bring them over.


    Every night, she would meet with Mu Chen here and exchange information, or perhaps after stretching, exchange moves with him again so that they wouldn''t be unfamiliar with each other.


    Seventh Seven''s military skills were very powerful, especially when it came to martial arts. She was very confident, but every time she fought with Mu Chen, she would always feel like she was being toyed with, which could only mean one thing. Mu Chen''s skills were unfathomable, so she would seize every opportunity to spar with Mu Chen.


    Mu Chen naturally understood what he was doing, so every time he did this, he would purposely provoke Qi Jian into making a move. Once again, he would not leave any traces behind as he revealed his moves.


    "Hey, I''m asking you a question, do you really not want to deliver the application anymore?" Mu Chen nimbly dodged to her side as he blocked one of Qi Hua''s hand blades, then touched the ponytail that she had tied up.


    While doing so, he replied, "Let''s not talk about it anymore, I''ve already thought about it. As long as I have such an action of wanting to retire from the army, it''ll be fine. If I really leave, it won''t have any effect on our plan, and it will instead increase our credibility. After all, it''s not necessary for a person from the unintentional army to withdraw, so it''s normal for him to have an indifferent attitude."


    Mu Chen once again used his hand to block the kick from seven or seven times. He borrowed the force of the kick to leap backwards. His body seemed to be moving with an indescribable agility.


    "What you say makes sense. Alright, you can handle this matter your own way."


    When the conversation came to an end, Mu Chen also focused on the fight with Qi Qi Qi. Under the moonlight, two figures were twirling around, their movements like flowing water, so beautiful that one couldn''t help but look at them.


    Neither of them realized that there was a figure leaning on a cane standing in the shadow of a big tree about three hundred meters away from them.


    After looking at it for a long time, this person slowly turned around and left. As he turned around, he softly said, "Damned girl, I knew you wouldn''t be willing to part with your military uniform."

 C58

    Apart from the unshakeable fight every night, Qi Qi Qi also slowly increased her chances of making contact with Mu Chen openly. After all, the two of them would be partners in the future actions, and wouldn''t take advantage of the fact that they were on good terms with each other. It would be too sudden for them to openly exchange information in the future.


    After Mu Chen returned to his hometown, his image in front of others was completely dependent on his family background.


    So when he appeared in front of everyone with seven or seven on his arm, everyone thought they had seen wrongly!


    Who didn''t know that this young miss of the Zheng Family was a different type of person? She would never share blessings with people like them, and when they heard that she was going to get engaged to someone, they even found a poor kid who came from a remote village. The strangest thing was that this kid was actually married in the countryside.


    When they heard that this prim and proper young miss had made such a scene, they were secretly amused for a long time. They had thought that Zheng Qi would lose so much face that he wouldn''t appear in front of them for a short period of time.


    However, she didn''t expect that after such a long period of time, before the scandal had even subsided, she would have changed her original appearance. She had dressed up gracefully with the young master of the Mu family, and the place where they appeared was a nightclub!


    What''s going on? Everyone was stunned. Come, come, let me introduce you. This beautiful lady here is my girlfriend. She''s pretty, right? Hehe. Mu Chen narrowed his eyes and grinned. With a flighty smile on his face, he wrapped his arms around Qi Hua''s waist and introduced him to the people in the room.


    A young man wearing a flowery shirt stood up from his seat, his right hand hooked onto Mu Chen''s shoulder. He greeted him while teasing Mu Chen beside his ear.


    "Bro, you''re not bad. You''ve got such an ice beauty!"


    "Don''t you know who I am!" While he was speaking, Mu Chen pretended to be pleased with himself and pushed him away. This unrestrained force caused him to stagger a few steps forward. If it wasn''t for the long sofa behind him, this person''s butt would have been pushed straight to the ground.


    The man finally stabilized himself with great difficulty and looked towards Mu Chen. He had already turned around. With his arm around his waist, he smilingly walked to the other side of the sofa and sat down.


    From the looks of it, he probably didn''t pay attention to the consequences of that push. Could he have drunk too much and lost his balance? That''s why Mu Chen pushed him lightly and he fell?


    The man who was being pushed touched his waist, finding an excuse for himself. When the others beside him called out to him, he immediately forgot about this matter.


    However, when he raised his head, he didn''t find anything unusual. As he withdrew his gaze, he felt that someone was looking at him, and he couldn''t stop repeating what he had been doing for the whole night.


    "Did you bring me here just to get to know me?" Qi Qi held the goblet in her hands and shook the goblet slowly as she glanced at the crowd of people who looked even more confused than before under the dim light of the box.


    "What do you think?" Mu Chen lowered her head slightly, and what entered his eyes was seven or seven long, curling eyelashes. She had only dressed up a little today, but it was already enough to make people unable to look away. Her appearance was not very outstanding, but the temperament she emitted gave off a strong attractiveness.


    Hearing this, Qi Qi pursed her lips, bent her body, and placed the wine cup on the tea table in front of her. Because of this slightly bent forward movement, the whole line on her back was stretched out, forming a curve under the light.


    Just as Mu Chen was secretly admiring the beauty that Qi Qi Qi had unwittingly revealed, he suddenly met her gaze.


    Then he calmly looked away from her and raised the glass of wine in his hand, gulping down the contents in one gulp.


    "Is it because of him?" Qi Qi moved closer to Mu Chen and placed his hand on Mu Chen''s shoulder. Then, he turned his head to look at a corner of the room.


    He reached out to pull her hand down and held it in his hand. Seven or seven was obviously unhappy with this overly intimate action and could not help but struggle a few times. Unfortunately, Mu Chen''s strength was greater than hers and she could not struggle too much, causing others to be suspicious of her, so they could only give up in the end.


    "Since you''ve already seen through it, why are you still asking me!"


    "Nonsense, can anyone tell?"


    While speaking, Qi Qi Qi looked towards the corner that she had indicated just now.


    "What sort of background does he have?" Qi Qi searched through her mind, but couldn''t find any memory of this person. She carefully recalled the influence information provided by the company, but didn''t find any. She looked at Mu Chen sitting beside her and chose to directly ask him for information.


    "Well, his name is He Yao. He was always a good boy when he was young, and didn''t do anything proper to attract cats and dogs. Tonight, seeing this kind of situation, he has been restraining himself a lot."


    It was unknown what he was thinking about, but when he saw Mu Chen raise his eyebrows, the smile on his face became even wider. This slight expression from Mu Chen completely piqued his curiosity.


    Qi Qi Qi''s hand was held by Mu Chen, so she couldn''t make any big movements. She could only twist his hand back and pinch his palm.


    I brought you out today, one is to let everyone get to know you well and know that the young miss of the Zheng family is coming down from the altar. "Speaking up to this point, Mu Chen felt his palm being squeezed by someone hard. It didn''t hurt, but the aching feeling went straight to his heart.


    "However, what excuse do we have to keep an eye on him? We have just snuck into this circle, and are simply unable to gain his trust. Although everyone knows that he has that hobby, he will definitely not reveal the key information to others."


    "You just got into this circle, I''m not the same." Mu Chen stretched out his hand to caress Qiqi''s head, who took advantage of this opportunity to quickly withdraw her bound hands.


    "How long have you been back home? Even if you had snuck in as soon as you got back, it wouldn''t have been for long!" Qi Qi couldn''t stand seeing this man''s complacent expression, as if it was really amazing for her to have snuck into this circle.


    "Who told you that I only came here to play after returning to the country? Look carefully, how many people are there in this room that you want to play with?"


    Qi Qi looked in the direction where Mu Chen raised his chin and saw a few familiar faces. If it was Zheng Qi himself, she definitely wouldn''t have remembered. After all, these people''s appearance had changed quite a bit, and she didn''t have much contact with these people herself.


    However, 77 was different. She had only seen their images not too long ago. Furthermore, her memory was extremely good. Once she had seen them, she would have a rough impression of them.


    "These people have all slowly grown into standard young masters. Why is it that your Young Master Mu is so righteous?" Qi Qi turned her head to look at Mu Chen with a playful smile.


    "I have no other choice. The family''s old man and old man''s sticks are too powerful, I can only force myself to submit."


    Qi Qi Qi didn''t know whether to laugh or cry from Mu Chen''s wry expression.


    Just as the two of them were whispering to each other, a voice suddenly came from their side.


    "Young Master Mu, when are you on good terms with Miss Zheng? You brat, you really don''t have much to say. I''ve heard that Miss Zheng held an engagement banquet not long ago, but why are you with her now? You can''t be stingy with your big brother''s gathering today, so hurry up and tell us your story."


    77 looked back and saw that the person who had spoken was Mu Chen''s shoulder when they had first entered the room. He then deliberately pushed him, causing him to stagger on his flowery shirt.


    This person''s mouth was really cheap. It was fortunate that she had heard this. If it was Zheng Qiqi, who still had some lingering feelings for Fang Zhijun, she would not have felt so bad to hear this.


    "Can you control it? Why should I tell you about the matter between me and Mu Chen? " Qi Qi Jian raised his chin, perfectly shaping a proud image.


    "You ¡­" Everyone present, no matter who they were, they were all the same in terms of status. In this circle, he relied on his own reputation, and if he didn''t get enough from others, then if he didn''t get back at himself, he would be laughed to death by others in the future when he went out.


    But before he could raise his hand, with a vicious kick, he kicked the man to the ground.


    "If you want to fight, don''t you want to know what I used to do?" We should go back and practice for three to five years before we start again. " With that said, Qi Qi gave the floral shirt that was sprawled on the ground another kick.


    "Today''s three finishes are all merged together. Oh, everyone is happy to read!"

 C59

    This action of Seventh Seven caused everyone to be stunned on the spot. Everyone looked at Seventh Seventh Seven standing like a queen in the middle of the room with his hands on his waist and his feet under his seven inch high heels. Not only did he not seem rude, he even gave off a gorgeous and threatening feeling.


    He looked around, enduring the pain with difficulty as he stood up and pointed at number 77. He turned to Mu Chen and asked: "Young Master Mu, what do you mean by that, I was just concerned about the progress between the two of you. Is there a need to hurt people like this? "


    Qi Qi took a step forward and blocked in front of Mu Chen, raising her chin, "If you have something to say, ask me directly. If you don''t want to say it, ask me directly. It''s not like he hit you, right? "


    The moment Qi Qi Qi said this, everyone booed. The ones that were close to Mu Chen winked at him.


    The corner of Mu Chen''s mouth twitched, but he did not refute anything. Instead, he spread out his hands and made a gesture of helplessness.


    He even covered his mouth and mouthed to the crowd, "I can''t do anything about her. She''s amazing!"


    From the corner of his eyes, Qi Qi Qi glanced over. Mu Chen immediately put down his hands obediently and stood at a corner.


    When the crowd saw Mu Chen''s cowardly behavior, they secretly sneered and stopped talking. For matters between men and women, one man was willing to take a beating while the other was willing to take it. They had no interest in joining in the fun.


    Seeing that Mu Chen did not care and the others did not care, he knew that he would not be able to redeem himself today''s reputation, so he completely gave up on his plans to resist. He angrily spat to the side, his mouth still faintly emitting a bloody smell.


    However, he couldn''t do anything about it. He could only throw his sleeves and leave. He could only find another opportunity to regain his face in the future.


    "Humph!" Today, I will treat it as giving Mu Chen face, and will not lower myself to your level. " With that said, Flower Shirt didn''t linger, and he didn''t even bother with his jacket as he went straight out the door.


    Seeing Flower Shirt leave, Qi Qi Qi withdrew her posture and left the room after informing Mu Chen. She knew that once she went out, the young masters, who were silent a moment ago, would definitely surround Mu Chen.


    As for whether Mu Chen would be able to understand her meaning, and take the opportunity to talk about taking the goods with He Yao, she wasn''t worried about that at all. She believed that with Mu Chen''s intelligence, he should have understood her plan the moment she made a move on her flowery shirt. He denied that he wouldn''t cooperate with her just now and did such a thing to create the image of himself as a soft-footed shrimp who would listen to a woman''s words.


    As expected, just as soon as she walked out of the box, the door hadn''t been completely closed yet. Everyone who had been standing firmly in their seats just now had already surrounded her, especially He Yao, who was the most curious.


    "Mu Chen, how did you end up with Zheng Qi? From her posture just now, don''t deal with her!"


    A bitter smile appeared on Mu Chen''s face as he placed both hands on his forehead, unable to bear the regret he felt.


    "You guys don''t know how bitter I am. You''ve all heard about the engagement ceremony, right?"


    They had all heard of what happened at the engagement banquet. Think about it, even if there were so many guests present that night, even if some of them had good qualities and didn''t want to spread the news, it wasn''t as if they didn''t like people gossiping behind their backs. Moreover, the Zheng Family didn''t use any effort to suppress this matter, so wouldn''t the entire circle know about it?


    Everyone was not talking about it in front of others, but behind everyone''s back, they were all discussing it. Zheng Qi had his eyes set on the top and looked down on everyone.


    "Sigh ~ I''ve been overseas for so many years, but I don''t know what kind of character she has. When I saw a girl like her encounter such a situation, I also blame the pitiable, so I went over to comfort her for a period of time. I don''t know if it''s because she''s emotionally injured, but if I met a man who comforted her, then I''ll treat it as saving her life. At the beginning, when a woman threw herself into my arms, how could I not be happy? But later on, I slowly realized that something was wrong. She ¡­ she is really too fucking strict with me, didn''t you notice that during this period of time, the number of times I have come out for fun has decreased? "


    Mu Chen deliberately lowered his voice and asked everyone. During this period of time, the number of times he had gone crazy together with these young masters was indeed very small, so he definitely couldn''t be in charge of seven or seven things. He had a lot of information to investigate, so he had to accompany seven or seven''s training during the night.


    Everyone thought back to what had happened, and combined with Qi Qi Qi''s performance just now, they all shot ''you''re so pitiful'' looks at Mu Chen.


    Mu Chen was already rolling around happily in his heart, but on the surface, he still had a bitter smile on his face.


    In truth, Qi Qi didn''t walk too far away from the room, she was standing not far from the door, and she purposely didn''t close it completely, so she could still barely hear the sounds of voices in the room. When she heard how Mu Chen did his best to turn her into a tigress, she clenched her fists, and secretly made up her mind to let him know how strong she was in front of everyone, and to see if he still dared to ruin her reputation in the future.


    "Bro, you''re so bitter ~ ~ ~" He Yao patted Mu Chen''s shoulder, deliberately dragging out the last part of his words. Then, he sat down beside Mu Chen as if they were brothers, leaving even the beauty in his arms to one side.


    "Have you ever thought of leaving that tigress behind?"


    "How would I dare? Didn''t you see what she looked like just now? She''s trained seriously, so how could I possibly have beaten her? " Mu Chen continued to feign pity.


    "I heard that the Zheng Family is very strict in their tutoring. Why don''t you go to her boss or the Zheng Family''s old man?" Out of sympathy, He Yao constantly gave suggestions to Mu Chen.


    "Then it won''t work. I''ll look for her and lose a lot of face for me. Besides, ever since the engagement ceremony, the Zheng family''s old man dotes on his grandson''s daughter. He''s completely tolerant of her, so how could he be willing to teach her a lesson?"


    As he said this, Mu Chen shook his head and sighed a few more times.


    The hand that He Yao had been holding onto Mu Chen''s shoulder all this time patted Mu Chen''s shoulder reassuringly and said, "Brother, don''t be sad."


    Saying this, He Yao handed a glass of wine to Mu Chen, and he himself also took a cup and clinked with Mu Chen. After that, he raised his head and drank a cup of wine.


    Time was of the essence, and today''s three finishes were placed together as well.

 C60

    "However, brother, this isn''t all bad!" He Yao comfortably leaned on the sofa, put his feet on the short chair in front of the sofa.


    When Mu Chen heard this, he hurriedly went over and asked humbly, "What do you mean?"


    "Think about it, this guy is afraid of weakness. Zheng Qi was in the army before, and performed so flawlessly to outsiders, so where could he find her weakness? Now that you know she has a good mouth, you can control it in the future. As long as you have the goods on your hands, she''ll do as you say," He Yao said in a low voice.


    "That''s true." But then, he quickly raised his head again. "But, I don''t have any goods on me, you know how strict my old man''s control is, I don''t even have access to that, and it''s the same with the Zheng Family''s old man. Originally, she only dared to make small things insignificant to satisfy her craving, so where am I supposed to find so many good stuff? "If you don''t have any goods on hand, how can you control her? You should know that she''s good at it as well. Even with her temper, I still won''t be able to suppress her."


    Hearing this, a faint smile instantly appeared on He Yao''s face. He approached Mu Chen, nudged him with his shoulder and said, "You forgot about me, I have quite a lot of good stuff on my hands."


    After Mu Chen heard this, he clapped his hands and showed an expression of enlightenment, "That''s right, how could I have forgotten about this?"


    He raised his head in embarrassment, looked at He Yao, and said, "This thing is not cheap, it''s alright to use it for two months, but the key thing is, once it''s used, I''m afraid I won''t have that much money for the rest of my life. You also know, people like us who look good on the outside, but our family''s old man is very strict.


    "You don''t have to worry about that. Since I said I have the goods, then I have a way to make sure you don''t lack them. As for what to do, it''s not convenient for us to talk about today''s occasion." In the past, he had always been compared to Zheng Qi by his own father, but now, he had finally found an opportunity to trample on such an arrogant girl like Zheng Qi.


    He Yao was so immersed in his own imagination that he didn''t even notice the slight curve on the corner of Mu Chen''s mouth and the light flashing across his eyes.


    Qi Qi listened to the sounds coming from inside the house from outside. Seeing that the time was right, she pushed open the door and walked in before sitting down beside Mu Chen.


    When Mu Chen saw Qi Qi, he reached out and pulled her into his arms. He rested his head on Qi Qi''s neck and pressed his lips against her ear, as an outsider would have thought a man and a woman would have an uncontrollable intimacy. Who would have thought that Mu Chen was only using this action to send a message to Qi Qi.


    "It''s done, Little Fishy, take the bait."


    Qi Qi Qi was not used to such intimate behavior and wanted to push him away, but the words that came to her ears made her instantly understand that Mu Chen was communicating with her, so she had no choice but to suppress her discomfort. She lifted her head to look at the men and women who were playing around, relaxed her stiff body muscles due to Mu Chen''s closeness, and allowed Mu Chen to hug her and stick to her side.


    All the goals of the gathering had been achieved, so Qi Qi Qi and Mu Chen didn''t want to waste any more time in this winery. Mu Chen first spoke to He Yao in a low voice, arranged the next meeting time and place, and then embraced Qi Qi and stood up, raising his voice to say goodbye to everyone present.


    "Everyone, please play first. I have other arrangements to make with Qi Qi, so I''ll be taking my leave first!" As he spoke, he didn''t forget to wink dubiously at the crowd.


    Everyone present had come over from a happy time. Seeing Mu Chen''s expression, there was no one who didn''t understand. They all laughed loudly and waved their hands for him to do as he pleased. Some even covered their mouths and booed.


    Qi Qi seven let Mu Chen hug her waist until she walked out of the room. After she had walked a distance away, she pinched the big hand that was placed on her waist.


    "That should be enough. If you don''t tell me, then who will believe that you''re not a playboy? I can see that you know all about this sort of thing."


    Mu Chen did not get angry and obediently retracted his hand. With a face full of smiles, he said, "This is called ''work''. Without these two, how would I dare to be undercover!"


    Qi Qi Qi didn''t expect Mu Chen to be so shameless and completely ignored the mockery in her words. Instead, she climbed upwards. She turned her head and rolled her eyes at the man beside her, but before she could say anything, she was interrupted by a voice.


    "Zheng Qi!"


    Qi Qi turned around and saw Mei Hong standing behind her. She was wearing a tight red dress. She was frowning, but before she could say anything, Mei Hong had already asked her a question.


    "It''s really you? Why are you here? Who is this person? "


    Hearing Mei Hong use such a questioning tone to talk to him, Qi Hua felt like he didn''t know whether to laugh or cry.


    "Where am I? Who am I with? It doesn''t seem like it''s Ms. Mei''s turn yet, do you think?"


    "I ¡­" After being mocked by Qi Qi, Mei Hong realized that she had said the wrong thing, but she couldn''t find a suitable excuse. She awkwardly smiled and said, "I just didn''t expect you to appear on such an occasion with your status. If you''ve offended me with your words just now, please forgive me, Miss Zheng."


    Qi Qi Qi''s eyes darkened, this Mei Hong really isn''t a simple character. Being questioned in such a way by her, she is actually neither servile nor overbearing.


    In the end, he just didn''t know what was going on. Although he spoke politely, his eyes were filled with unwillingness.


    Mei Hong was not the main purpose of the mission, and the original owner had no intention of taking revenge on Mei Hong, so Qi Qi Qi didn''t want to waste any time on her, so without another word, she turned to leave.


    However, it was obvious that there was someone who did not want to end this encounter so simply. As soon as she turned around, Mei Hong''s pleading words came from behind her.


    "Miss Zheng, everything that happened at the engagement banquet was my fault. Brother Zhijun doesn''t know anything, he''s innocent. Please be magnanimous and let him go, okay? Brother Zhijun has been in the army for more than ten years. He has a very deep affection for the army, so please don''t chase him away! "


    Qi Qi Qi turned around in amusement and sized Mei Hong up from head to toe until the woman in front of him felt uncomfortable. Then, he softly said, "What kind of status do you have to ask me to forgive him? His ex-wife? Or a girlfriend? "


    "I... No matter what identity I''m asking you for, since Miss Zheng had a new lover so quickly, this means that you weren''t really sincere to Brother Zhijun before. In that case, why do you need to be so ruthless? Letting Brother Zhijun stay in the army is just a small matter to you. "


    Qi Qi Qi did not understand, if Mei Hong was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, then now that Fang Zhijun had switched to the public security system, it was easier said than done. Moreover, with her relationship with Fang Zhijun in front of outsiders, why would she help?


    Wait, Mei Hong is a person who has been reborn, so she must have some other motive for doing such a seemingly useless thing. Thinking up to here, she calmly looked around, but did not see anything strange. Only when Mu Chen, who was beside her, squeezed her hand, did she look in the direction he indicated. Indeed, around a corner, she saw a pair of shoes that had not completely hidden themselves.


    So he was just putting on a show for this person to see!


    Although Qi Qi Qi couldn''t tell that this person was Fang Zhijun from his exposed foot, who else could it be for Mei Hong to act like this? After understanding the situation clearly, she did not expose him, but instead said in a cold and low tone, "I, Zheng Qiqi, will only help my own people. Fang Zhijun is not related to me in the slightest, I can''t find a reason to help him."


    "How can it be all right? You guys were so close in the past and almost got engaged. Don''t you have any feelings for Brother Zhijun? "


    Seeing Mei Hong''s worried expression and that hopeful look in her eyes, Qi Qi Qi couldn''t help but sneer in her heart. So she was waiting here? Was this because she was afraid that Fang Zhijun hadn''t had enough time to react, so she intentionally said these words to test her, hoping that her words would be ruthless enough to make Fang Zhijun give up?


    The original owner had never thought of starting anew with Fang Zhijun. At this moment, if the original owner was here, he would most likely want to break off their relationship as soon as possible.


    Since Mei Hong wanted to be with Fang Zhijun so much, why should she help them? She was a girl who had been reborn to chase after her fame, and a coward who was wavering in the military. She was absolutely compatible!


    "You also said it. We were almost engaged, not already engaged. Fang Zhijun hid such an important matter from me. Do you think I would forgive him? Now that the bridge returns to the bridge, and the road returns to the road, I feel quite good about it. "


    After saying that, Qi Qi didn''t wait for Mei Hong to say anything else. She held onto Mu Chen''s hand and directly got into the car that the doorman drove over. When the car left Mei Hong''s line of sight, she didn''t even give her a single glance.


    Mei Hong stood at the door, looking at the car leaving in a cloud of dust. He clenched his teeth tightly, feeling indignant in his heart.


    Humph! Since Brother Zhijun was able to become a general in his previous life, then it means that he is very powerful. Even if he leaves the barracks in this life, he will definitely be able to stand out in the public security system. When I become Brother Zhijun''s wife, I will definitely let you have a taste of being looked down upon.


    While Mei Hong was still immersed in her thoughts, she saw a tall figure walk past her out of the corner of her eyes. She looked over and immediately caught up to him after recognizing his identity.


    "Brother Zhijun, you ¡­" You heard it just now? "


    Fang Zhijun turned around and looked at Mei Hong, his eyes no longer showing any disgust.


    He was pulled out by Mei Hongqiang to relax today. He did not expect to see such a scene. He originally thought that Mei Hongshui had broken his marriage relationship, so he did not hate her, but he definitely hated her to the extreme.


    But now, after hearing that she had put down her status to beg Zheng Qi for his sake, and thinking that she was the one who was begging for everything, her originally resolute heart softened a lot.


    "Yes, I''ve heard it already. Don''t beg her in the future, I''ve let her down. No matter how much you say, she won''t forgive me. I won''t blame you. Find a good man for yourself and live a good life."


    Hearing Fang Zhi Jun say that he was not to be blamed, Mei Hong''s heart was filled with joy. But before she could be happy about it, Fang Zhi Jun''s next words splashed a bucket of cold water on her.


    "Zhi..." Brother Zhijun, what do you mean by this? Didn''t you say you would forgive me? Why do you want me to find another man? I truly know my wrongs, just let me stay by your side! If you still have a knot in your heart, it doesn''t matter. I will use my actions to prove that I am sincere to you. "


    Fang Zhijun looked at Mei Hong''s begging face as she grabbed his hand without letting go. His heart softened a bit, but right now, he really had no feelings for her.


    He reached out and pulled her hand away. He wanted to say something, but he stopped and turned around and left without a word.


    Mei Hong stood behind him, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She knew that she had done the wrong thing, but was it really that difficult to turn back now?


    But soon after, she regained her spirits and clenched her fists, silently encouraging herself in her heart. No matter what! He absolutely could not give up.

    "What is it? You''re regretting what you just said? " Mu Chen''s eyes were still fixed in front of him, as if he was focused on driving. However, if he were to ask about it, if he were to pay attention, he would be able to get a taste of something else.


    "Hmm? "What?" Qi Qi had been thinking about how to get the information about meeting with He Yao ever since they got in the car, and didn''t pay attention to what was going on with Mu Chen. Now that he heard Mu Chen''s question, he didn''t know what he meant.


    After she asked him that question out of instinct, she finally understood what he was asking and could not help but smile.


    "What do I regret? Have you regretted getting rid of a problem that isn''t that big of a deal? "


    "So it turns out that Fang Zhijun is a problem in your eyes? I thought you still had feelings for him more or less. After all, you were once an unmarried couple. " Mu Chen, with the mindset of watching a good show, wanted to get to the bottom of this matter.


    "I have no feelings for you. As long as you understand it yourself, you don''t need to worry about me. It''s better if you think about how you will act the next time you meet with He Yao." Qi Qi glanced at this curious man, and briefly passed over the topic.


    She originally didn''t have any feelings for Fang Zhijun, but after all, she was currently in someone else''s life. Moreover, she had just broken off the engagement, so it wasn''t normal for her to be so heartless.


    Hearing Qi Qi Qi''s ambiguous answer, Mu Chen''s originally calm eyes flashed with a dark color, and then he returned to normal.


    "Based on today''s situation, He Yao probably just wants to sell them to me. When my appetite increases, he will ask me to take them. After all, the more these things are offline, the more he will earn."


    "Will you really bring it when the time comes?" Qi Qi Qi had never interacted with any government agencies before, so she really didn''t have any idea about how much authority this special task had.


    "Don''t worry. With someone who specializes in hiding the information, I''m afraid you won''t be able to get the information without the goods." Don''t worry, with someone specializing in hiding the information, I''m afraid you won''t be able to get the information without the goods.


    Mu Chen didn''t mind the lack of experience, so he patiently explained it to her.


    After the explanation, Mu Chen no longer tried to find a topic to talk about. For a moment, the entire carriage fell into silence.


    "Cough, I say, are you coming back this time for this mission? "The mission is complete. Do you want to go back abroad or stay at home?" In the end, Qi Qi Qi didn''t hold back. This silent atmosphere was too weird. She wasn''t familiar with Mu Chen yet, so she didn''t feel awkward even if she didn''t say anything. Thus, she could only try her best to break the silence.


    Mu Chen didn''t even need to turn his head to know that the expression of the woman beside him was definitely very interesting. It was impossible for her to be so stiff as to improve her skills in finding topics to talk.


    But in the end, he didn''t have the heart to continue making things difficult for her, so he naturally changed the topic.


    "I came back only because the time is ripe, and not just for this mission. "After studying outside for so long, you still have to return home and put all your effort into doing so. After completing this mission, if there are no accidents, you will stay in the country. If you are interested, you can do it with me."


    "Tch, how do you know that after the mission is completed, I will be the one following you and not you. Maybe my contribution will be even greater than yours? If you''re not careful, I might become your superior. "


    Mu Chen looked at Qi Qi who was pouting and not convinced. He couldn''t help but pinch her cheek.


    Because of this sudden intimacy, Qi Qi was stunned for a moment. She had been in and out of the quests for so many times, but no one had ever done something so intimate to her.


    "You also know that you were careless and became my superior! In our line of work, how can there be so many careless things? " Mu Chen teased him while deliberately ignoring his dazed expression.


    Caught off guard, Qi Qi Qi quickly stopped what she was doing, turned her head and angrily said, "Anything is possible, but don''t underestimate the possibility of this happening."


    "Okay ~ I hope this won''t do."


    "¡­"


    At this point, the conversation came to an abrupt end. Qi Qi lowered her head and bit her lips, silently cursing herself for being more sincere. She thought for a moment, then turned her head to look at the man next to her.


    Mu Chen clearly saw her expression from the rearview mirror. He also saw that she wasn''t going to accept it, so he only secretly smiled and stopped teasing her. If he were to provoke her claws, then he would be covered in wounds, which would be really shameful.


    When Qi Qi returned to the Zheng Family, she pushed open the door and saw that the living room was filled with lights. Zheng, Zheng, and his mother were all sitting upright on the sofa. When they heard the door open, they all looked over at her.


    Qi Qi subconsciously looked down at the time on her watch. It was already 11 PM. The Zheng family always slept early and woke up early. Why was it that everyone was still awake at this time?


    Very quickly, his mother''s words answered seventy percent of his questions.


    "Why did you come back so late and dressed like this? Was it Third Brother of the Mu Family who sent you back?" This person seemed alright when he was young, but ever since he returned to the country, he didn''t do anything serious. All he knew was that he would be out having fun and eating with those popinjays, so why are you hanging around with him? "


    His mother complained, but her actions revealed that she loved him dearly.


    She took a thin blanket from the sofa and carefully draped it over her shoulders. One of them wanted to keep her warm, but the other didn''t want to face the elder so frivolously, afraid that he would scold her.


    The thing that he looked down on the most was the foppish, wilful, and degenerate popinjay who relied on his family''s power and lack of ambition. The old tutor had been in the military all year round, and his lifestyle was extremely strict, and the thing that he looked down on most was the foppish, wilful, and corrupt popinjay who had been relying on his family''s strength.


    "Mom, Mu Chen isn''t as ridiculous as you said." Qi Qi took a furtive glance at the old man and his father. Seeing that the old man was only resting with his eyes closed, he didn''t have any special expression on his face. On the contrary, his father''s face was filled with anger.


    She wanted to uphold the honor of Mu Chen, but now was not the right time. She could only give a small explanation and hope that her family wouldn''t be so worried.


    However, Qi Qi Jian''s words obviously couldn''t make his father feel at ease. On the contrary, it made him even more infuriated.


    "You''re still trying to tell for him that it''s not absurd for him to have nothing better to do than to amuse himself all day long? What is he supposed to do then?"


    Zheng''s father stood up and was about to reprimand him a few more times, but he was interrupted by the old man who had been silent all this time.


    "Alright, as long as the child is back. Why are you making such a ruckus at such a late hour? Hurry up and go to bed."


    "Dad ~ ~" The father stared at the old man in disbelief.


    "What is it? What I said didn''t matter, did it? "Seventh, let''s go, help grandpa go back upstairs."


    The old man glared at him, but his father didn''t dare to say anything else. He could only watch on helplessly as Qi Qi Qi helped the old man up to the second floor.


    After sending the old man back to his room, he stood in the corridor and looked at the old man''s door, muttering to himself, The old man''s reaction isn''t normal. Did he know something? But if he knew, the lordmaster would probably vent his anger on him and not say nothing at all.


    After thinking for a while and not being able to figure out anything, Qi Qi Qi could only give up on her guesses. The deep thoughts that were brought about by the old man''s many years of life experience were not something that a junior like her could guess through. Since she couldn''t figure it out, then she won''t guess it.


    Qi Qi walked to her room and was about to push open the door, but after a moment of thought, she retracted her hand from the door handle and quietly turned around to head for the stairs.


    "What were you yelling at the child for? Don''t you know that she was traumatized by her feelings a while ago? There''s always a time when you can''t calm down. You have to give her time to adjust her mood. "


    Just as he reached the stairs, he heard his mother speaking to his father in a slightly reproachful tone.


    "It''s been so long already, why are you still trying to adjust your mood? Military children aren''t allowed to cause trouble like this. Back then, she was the one who requested for a strict punishment for that stinking brat Fang Zhijun, what about it?" At that time, he was full of righteousness, but now he was trying to adjust his mood? How could my daughter, Zheng Guofeng, be so hypocritical! "


    "You ¡­ Why are you saying that you won''t listen! "Forget it, I won''t argue with you. Anyways, let me tell you, I only have this one daughter, and I don''t need anything, I want her to be fine. You control your temper and don''t provoke her again, if you have anything to say, just say it.


    After saying so, his mother left his father alone in the living room and headed straight back to her room.


    Qi Qi looked worriedly at the living room and saw his father standing blankly for a while before he sat down heavily on the sofa. His originally straight back was now bent forward slightly as he covered his face with his hands and heaved a deep sigh of relief.


    Seeing this, Qi Qi Qi couldn''t help but feel a pang in her nose. Just now, her mother had said ''I don''t want anything, I want her to be fine'', and that word struck her heart, causing her to hesitate for a moment. Was it really okay for her to take the risk and join this operation?


    She couldn''t guarantee that she would be able to escape unscathed. Zheng Qi was the only daughter of the Zheng Family, and if anything happened to her when the time came, Old Master Zheng and his parents would leave her with the black haired man. How painful would that be?


    Since she had already made her decision, there was no turning back. Hesitating and hesitating would only bring more danger to her actions. She tried her best to raise her martial arts value, but couldn''t she just try to protect herself when completing the mission?


    Furthermore, as a soldier from a military family, Zheng Qi had great love in her heart. Since she had reborn for her, she should uphold his principles.


    After making up her mind, Qi Qi turned to her father''s back and silently said, "I''m sorry." Then she turned back to her room. Tomorrow morning, she would get up early to train. Although there were a lot of missions that required her to go out, she didn''t miss any of them.


    Before dawn the next day, Qi Qi was wearing a simple and elegant suit, carrying a slightly large handbag. In order not to arouse suspicion from her family, she would disguise herself when she went out.


    When they arrived at the usual place, Mu Chen was already there waiting. However, the thing that was different than usual was that he wasn''t wearing a lightweight sports suit today. Instead, he was wearing a neat and straight suit.


    Seeing him dressed up like this, Qi Qi Qi was stunned for a moment, then frowned. "You''re going to fight me like this today?"


    Mu Chen smiled slightly and didn''t say anything. He only spread out his left hand and made a gesture of ''please''.


    Qi Qi looked down to see herself dressed up today. She was wearing a slightly tight and modified suit. The material didn''t shrink at all. She was even wearing high heels. With her appearance, how could she do anything?


    "What is it? After changing your clothes, you don''t know what to do anymore? "


    Qi Qi Qi raised her head and saw the provocative smile on Mu Chen''s face. Without hesitation, she lifted her leg and called out to Mu Chen.


    The slender heels on her feet could not withstand the pressure, and after one kick, it was full of strength at the beginning, but it gradually weakened. When her foot was right in front of Mu Chen, the strength was greatly reduced, and she was easily grabbed by his bare feet.


    The body of the original owner was extremely resilient. Having been pulled like this, Qi Seventh didn''t feel any pain, but the current posture made her completely passive.


    Fortunately, her training during this period of time had paid off. She used the strength of Mu Chen to grab onto her leg, and then raised her other foot to kick him in the face, causing her to fly into the air. Although her upper body would fall to the ground, and she would suffer some injuries, Mu Chen still had to let go of the hand that was holding her leg, so she could regain her freedom.


    However, Qi Qi Qi didn''t expect that not only did Mu Chen not let go of her foot, but instead he turned into a single hand holding her left foot, and used his right hand to block the attack coming from her right foot. The moment he touched her foot, he changed his defense into a grab, then grabbed onto one of her legs and pulled her over.


    However, it was impossible for her to admit defeat just like that. She reached out her hands to hug Mu Chen''s legs, doing her best to tilt her head backwards, preparing to ruthlessly smash her head against his calves. This way, she might be able to knock his center of gravity unsteadily, and as long as he could not stand up, she would have the opportunity to free her feet from his hands.


    But before she could hit him, Mu Chen moved his legs and freed them from the imprisonment of her hands. Moreover, he was standing with his legs in front of him and behind him. His center of gravity was even more stable now.


    Qi Qi wasn''t convinced and was preparing to attack again, but before she could do anything, the sky started spinning and Mu Chen shook her up. She felt the restraint on her feet loosen, but in the next second, a pair of large hands appeared on her waist.


    When Qi Qi finally landed back on her feet, her hair was a mess, and there were a lot of wrinkles on her clothes.


    This time, she finally understood how much water Mu Chen had poured in order for them to tie. It could be said that he had released his true strength today.


    "Why are you hiding your strength?" In the end, he was still angered, and with his hair in disarray and his eyes staring at Mu Chen, who had a crafty smile on his face, he asked.


    "Is there? "I thought I was just sparring previously. Who made the rule that I would have to go all out during training?"


    "Then why did you suddenly go all out today?"


    "Did I go all out today? No way, I just used a bit more strength! "


    Qi Qi Qi really wanted to punch the self-satisfied smile off the man''s face, but she couldn''t do anything as she was weaker than him. She could only open her eyes wide again and again to express her displeasure.


    Mu Chen looked at the infuriated little girl in front of him with a smile. He took a step forward and reached out his hand, preparing to tidy up her messy hair.


    However, just as he reached out his hand, Qi Qi Qi immediately took a cautious step back. This cat like expression instantly made him laugh.


    He stretched out his left hand to grab onto her shoulder, holding her body so that she wouldn''t move. Then he reached out his right hand to gently smooth her hair.


    Seven to Seven was held captive by Mu Chen and could not retreat. But his current actions were so ambiguous that it caused her to feel uncomfortable all over. She couldn''t help but move her body, wanting to retreat, but before she could do so, she was stopped by Mu Chen.


    "Don''t move, this hair is messy like a mad woman''s. Don''t tell me you want to use this appearance to show yourself to others?"


    Qi Qi made an awkward struggle. "Let go of me, I''ll take care of myself."


    "You can''t see it, so how are you going to organize it?"


    Seeing that Mu Chen wasn''t willing to let go of her, Qi Qi Qi could only obediently stand there, allowing him to grab her with one hand and move her head with the other.


    At this moment, she was standing in front of Mu Chen, barefooted. She was only up to his chest, and the way she stood face to face with him allowed her eyes to see his chest, to see his strong chest moving up and down in rhythm with her breathing. For some reason, she felt a burst of panic.


    She didn''t like this strange feeling, so she tried to turn her body away from Mu Chen''s control.


    "Is it done? That''s enough. It''s already so early, there''s no one on the road. No one will see my hair style."


    This time, Mu Chen did not object. He released the hand on her shoulder and took a step back.


    This sudden withdrawal of her body caused the early morning breeze to blow on her face. After alleviating the slight heat on her face, it also made her feel an inexplicable chill.


    "It''s impossible for a spy to give you time to change into easy clothes before you fight. On the contrary, you will often encounter danger when you''re wearing clothes that are not very convenient for you, so you have to adapt to sudden fights under any circumstances."


    She immediately focused her mind and listened attentively to Mu Chen''s teachings. Indeed, they could not use high heels and a skirt as an excuse to defeat a battle because they could possibly engage in a fight to protect their lives at any time. Her previous training had completely overlooked this area.


    The last two days were rather busy, so there was no update. Today, we''ll make up for the previous two days in a long way.

 C62

    From then on, although he would wear training clothes as a precaution, he would not deliberately change into them during training.


    A few days later, Mu Chen took Qi Qi to a private club again. Qi Qi knew that he was going to meet with He Yao soon.


    Although the original owner had never set foot in such a clubhouse before, as a young miss of the Wealthy Class, Qi Qi Qi would often visit such a clubhouse after managing the business. Therefore, facing the extremely luxurious decorations of the clubhouse, she didn''t show any surprise.


    Today, she was wearing a purple dress, and the close-fitting design very well accentuated her graceful figure. Although the dress was close-fitting, it was also very tightly wrapped.


    The first time Mu Chen saw her at the Zheng Family''s gate, he did not hide the admiration in his eyes. When he saw his expression, he knew that she was very good at dressing up today. It wasn''t because she was boasting, but because she had been in high society for a long time during her first mission.


    However, Qi Qi didn''t expect that she would run into Mei Hong and Fang Zhijun in a clubhouse with such a high amount of money.


    At that time, she was holding onto Mu Chen''s arm as she listened to him talk about the things she needed to pay attention to. Just as they passed a corner of the corridor, they almost bumped into each other.


    The moment Fang Zhijun saw 7/7, he immediately retracted his hand held by Mei Hong. This sudden action caused Mei Hong to lose her balance and almost fall over. Luckily, she was able to recover her balance in time and didn''t make a fool of herself.


    After she stood up, she immediately smiled at Qi Qi and Mu Chen. "Miss Zheng, are you here to play with your boyfriend?"


    Qi Qi didn''t want to bother with her and just glanced at her before she and Mu Chen prepared to pass by them and head towards a nearby room.


    However, just as she was about to open her legs, she was stopped by Fang Zhijun''s soft call.


    "Seventh Brother, wait a moment, you ¡­"


    Fang Zhijun glanced at Mu Chen who was next to Qi Qi, then turned to look at her with an appearance of wanting to speak, but then he hesitated. This aggrieved expression caused Qi Qi Qi to feel a pang in his heart.


    She didn''t say anything and only coldly looked at Fang Zhijun, waiting for him to finish.


    Sure enough, Fang Zhijun only hesitated for a moment before continuing with a guilty face, "Qi Qi, I''ve let you down for what happened earlier, but I''ve already received the punishment I deserved. If you can forgive me, I''ll definitely treat you better, even if ¡­ Even if you can''t forgive me, I won''t blame you. But please don''t give up on yourself and go in and out of this kind of situation with people who don''t work properly! "


    As he spoke, Fang Zhijun glanced at Mu Chen, who stood quietly beside Qi Qi, without saying a word.


    Mu Chen did not get angry after hearing this and just lightly smiled, but he still did not say anything. He did not think that it was necessary for him to open his mouth at this time.


    Qi Qi heard Fang Zhijun''s arrogant words and almost laughed at him. What sort of status did he have to say that he had given up on himself? Was she giving up on herself just because she wasn''t with him!? Besides, what''s wrong with such an occasion? Fang Zhijun was looking down upon him. Wasn''t he, Fang Zhijun, here?


    "Where did Mr. Fang come from today?" Is the public service not working well and preparing to get a job here with Ms. Mei? " Of course, Qi Qi knew that they should have come here to see the guests, but she purposely used such words to provoke them. Who told them to not be happy with her?


    "Qi Qi, how did you become so sharp? You weren''t originally like this?" Fang Zhijun''s face was filled with disappointment and grief.


    "Oh ~ ~ ~ Really? However, it''s not a big deal. In the future, we won''t have any chances to meet again, so we don''t need to get to know each other too well. I''m sorry, but we still have things to do, so we won''t be accompanying you. " With that said, Seventh Seven didn''t wait for Fang Zhijun to say anything. The hand that was always on Mu Chen''s arm lightly squeezed, signalling the man beside him to leave.


    Mu Chen nodded and politely smiled to Fang Zhi Jun and the others before leading Qi Seven forward.


    Fang Zhijun blankly stood on the spot, watching as the two people walked to the door of the room that they just came out from. Very quickly, a person came out of the room.


    This person originally had a haughty appearance in front of Mei Hong and him, but now, he was bowing and groveling as he faced Zheng Qi and Mu Chen.


    This was the first time that Fang Zhijun had realized that he and Zheng Qiqi were actually people from two different worlds.


    "Brother Zhijun ¡­" Mei Hong carefully shook Fang Zhijun''s arm, trying to pull his attention back.


    Looking at her face, the hatred for this woman rose up in his heart. If not for her, he would have been engaged to Qi Qi Qi already, and wouldn''t have been chased out of the army to befriend her for the sake of a slight chance for appreciation.


    "How many times have I told you that I don''t want to come here? I will start all over again with my own skills. I don''t need you to find me a second generation official to take the back door."


    Fang Zhijun emphasized ''I'' one by one in order to show his determination. It was unknown whether he was truly arrogant or was provoked by the coldness in his eyes.


    "Sorry, Brother Zhijun, I ¡­" It''s such a pity that we gave up just like that. I''ve asked around, and he has a relationship with the young master of the Mu family, and the Mu family is one of the leaders of the public security system. If we could get in touch with them, with your ability, you will quickly be recognized. "


    Seeing that Fang Zhijun''s expression had slowed down, Mei Hong continued: "Brother Zhijun, this is not by the back door, it will not go against your principles. This is just to let the higher-ups see your performance and not let any unfair things affect your promotion.


    "You saw it just now. The Young Master He you speak of doesn''t give you any face at all. How could someone like him be recommended to you if he doesn''t see the money?"


    In this period of time, after leaving the army and without the halo of Zheng Qi''s fianc¨¦, Fang Zhijun had experienced a lot of human warmth. He was slowly forced by reality to compromise more and more, and that was why he and Mei Hong had come here today.


    "You don''t have to worry about the money. I still have some left over. As long as Young Master He is willing to help, I''ll think of a way to raise the money." Mei Hong saw that the situation had taken a turn for the better and hurriedly said in an attentive manner.


    Compared to Qi Qi Qi''s previous coldness and mockery, Mei Hong''s submission made Fang Zhi Jun''s heart feel a little better. Now that he heard that she was willing to give up all of her savings for him, he couldn''t help but feel his heart soften.


    "If you really need money, I still have money to earn. I don''t need you to fund it."


    After he said that, Fang Zhijun turned around and left the clubhouse.


    Mei Hong stood behind him, determination flashing across her eyes. Very quickly, she also quickened her pace to catch up.


    Seven Seven Seven sat in a chair pulled apart by Mu Chen. As he sat down, he calmly sized up the scene in the room.


    Apart from He Yao, there was another person inside this box. This person was dressed in fashionable clothes, and looked to be in his early thirties. Although he was older than everyone present, he appeared to be very attentive.


    "This is ¡­" Mu Chen took a glance at this man, but didn''t ask directly. Instead, he turned around and asked Yao He.


    "Look at me, I forgot to introduce him first. This is Li Qin, because he is the third oldest in his house, and we all call him Li San''er. I got a lot of things from Li San''er." He Yao took a glance in the direction of seven to seven, then turned around and gave Mu Chen an ambiguous smile.


    "Oh ~ ~ So that''s how it is. It seems that we still have a lot to deal with!" I hope you can give me more benefits in the future, haha. " Mu Chen looked at Li San''er and smiled. His previous nonchalant attitude had changed, as though he really had a request.


    "No, no, Young Master Mu is too polite. If you have any instructions in the future, just say them out. Don''t even mention the preferential treatment, it would be my, Li San''er''s, honor."


    In front of Mu Chen, Li San''er''s posture was very low. After filling the glasses with wine for the three people sitting, he did not sit down and continued to speak while bowing: "I know you three still have something to talk about, so I will not disturb you. I have already instructed the clubhouse, if there is anything that you three need, please do so. We will definitely do our best to satisfy everyone''s needs."


    "Alright, I''ll accept your kind intentions. I know you''re a busy man, so go busy yourself."


    Before Qi Qi and Mu Chen could say anything, He Yao had already told Li San''er to leave. Apparently, he only wanted Li San''er and Qi Qi Qi to meet up, and didn''t want them to have any further exchanges. After all, he was still thinking about how to gain benefits from this.


    Seeing He Yao''s attitude, Mu Chen didn''t say anything else, but took the dishes carefully. "You haven''t eaten breakfast, so you must be hungry. Have some food first." He Chen reminded Yao, as if no one was around, "You haven''t eaten breakfast yet."


    Qi Qi turned her head slightly to smile at Mu Chen. The two of them seemed very intimate, but only Mu Chen could see the hint of sweetness in his eyes. It was obvious that he despised them.


    "Alright, alright. The two of you, stop showing your love in front of a bachelor like me. I wonder how early your love will die." While holding a pair of chopsticks with fish meat in his mouth, He Yao yelled at the pair opposite of him with the corner of his eyes.


    "How are you a bachelor? You have so many female companions, I wonder which one you should take!" Mu Chen was in no hurry to get down to business, so he continued to tease her.


    "Qi Qi, you''re really too capable. Look at how obedient Mu Chen is. Ever since he returned home, I really haven''t seen any other woman by his side."


    "Do you think they''re all like you, moving genitals?" Qi Qi put down the chopsticks in her hands, picked up the red wine beside her, and took a sip. Qi Qi then glanced at He Yao with a proud look on her face.


    "Okay, okay, okay. I said the wrong thing. "Hur hur, I''ll say seven. I heard Mu Chen say that you''re not planning on returning to the army?"


    When Mu Chen touched his nose and smiled ingratiatingly, she turned back to He Yao, "That''s right, I also understand that there''s no meaning to the army. It''s not worth it to waste so many good years there, it''s not worth it at all. I might as well take advantage of young age to play a little more, but the old man in the family won''t agree to it, so I''ll drag it out for now. I''ve made up my mind not to go back anyway."

 C63

    "Yeah!" All day long, I''ve been so tired that I haven''t been able to get any money out of it. What''s the use! However, it''s a pity to give up on your position after so many years of hard work. In my opinion, you might as well just follow your father and hang your name there. In the future, you might still have something that you can use! "


    Hearing this, Qi Qi Qi knew that a good show was about to take place, so she revealed a curious expression, then quickly concealed her curiosity and doubtfully said, "It''s just a name, what''s the use of it?"


    Although he was silently cursing Qi Seven for wasting such a great treasure without knowing that he was taking advantage of the power that he already had, on the surface, he still showed a big smile on his face.


    "Mu Chen, take a look, take a look, otherwise, how can I call you pure and innocent!" After joking towards Mu Chen, He Yao turned to Qi Qi Qi and explained, "This military region''s name isn''t very useful. It goes out under the banner of the military region. Which forces don''t want to give face to it?" Isn''t it just a matter of one sentence that we have to do something convenient in the future? "


    "What convenience?" Qi Qi Qi purposely did not understand.


    He Yao looked around. It was obvious that they were the only three people in the room, yet he still made such a gesture. Seeing this, Qi Qi Qi couldn''t help but sneer inside. Luckily, she didn''t show any flaws on her face.


    "I heard that you''re also like this, Qi Qi?" He Yao made a sucking gesture with his nose.


    When Qi Qi Qi saw this action, his originally smiling face immediately turned cold. He turned to the side and glared fiercely at Mu Chen, who hadn''t said anything the entire time.


    Seeing this situation, Mu Chen hastily waved his hands and muttered a few words. He was stunned and was unable to say a single word.


    Seeing their reaction, He Yao immediately realized that when Mu Chen told him about Qi Qi Seven, he didn''t know about it at all. Now that he had said something like that, the two of them probably had a fight when they go back, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to be the mediator.


    "Qi Qi, don''t blame Mu Chen. He is doing this for your own good."


    "For my own good!? Tell me, what is he doing it for me? " Hearing He Yao''s words, Qi Qi Qi immediately pointed the spear at him.


    "Ugh ¡­" Didn''t this Mu Chen also worry that you wouldn''t be able to find a cheap source for the goods? "I''ve heard that you''ve always been working in the army and you don''t have much to gain from it. You don''t have to worry about it for the past two years, but as time has passed, isn''t there a lot of financial pressure?"


    Seeing that the look on Qi Qi Qi''s face had calmed down, He Yao silently gestured to Mu Chen, telling him to be at ease, and then continued his lobbying.


    "Whether I have financial pressure or not, it''s not up to you to care, is it?"


    "We grew up together. Mu Chen and I have a good relationship. Since this brother of mine is in trouble, I can''t come up with any ideas!" Furthermore ¡­ "Heh heh, I''m also a fellow Daoist of yours, so shouldn''t you be on your guard and help me out!"


    Hearing that He Yao used the word ''watchful'' to describe the relationship between drug addicts, Qi Qi Qi almost burst out laughing, but fortunately, she held it back in the end, "Don''t use words if you don''t know how to use them. Do you really need that kind of ''watchful'' help here?" "Alright, just speak your mind. What do you want me to do?"


    Therefore, he opened the skylight and said, "To tell you the truth, I have some goods on hand, and you know that the investigation is quite strict right now. If we don''t pass the inspection and directly pass all the checkpoints, I''m afraid only the police and military districts have people who are willing to let us through."


    Qi Qi Qi knitted her eyebrows and stared at He Yao for a long while without saying anything. This silent atmosphere even made a layer of sweat on He Yao''s forehead.


    "What do you mean?" With a cold expression, Qi Qi Qi asked after a long while.


    He couldn''t help but turn around and look at Mu Chen''s face. Only when Mu Chen slightly nodded his head, did he finally relax. This young miss was usually proud and arrogant. She probably didn''t want to come into contact with people like them, so she might not really understand what he meant.


    "What I mean is, it''s actually very simple. It''s just that I can give you the next seven to seven items you want for free, but I need you to use your authority to make things easier for me. Hehe!" After speaking, He Yao chuckled and showed a wretched look on his face.


    After a long while, he finally said, "Then I can still take out that little money. You don''t need to pay for it, and I have my own sources of supplies. There''s no need to exchange for a seller''s one."


    Having said so, Qi Qi Qi pushed Mu Chen and made as if to flick her sleeves and leave.


    Seeing Qi Qi Qi''s actions, He Yao immediately became anxious. He hurriedly gave Mu Chen a meaningful glance, asking him to persuade him.


    Zheng Qi had the military in his hands, Mu Chen had the police in his hands, and he himself was addicted to it. He wasn''t afraid of being betrayed by them during this cooperation.


    Zheng Qi and Mu Chen were currently the most suitable partners that he could find. If he let them leave so easily, then it would be difficult to find them to work together in the future. Just like what Qi Qi Qi said, he wasn''t the only seller.


    "Seven, I think He Yao really wants to cooperate with you. Why don''t we listen to his thoughts first and see how he will cooperate?" Mu Chen held onto Qi Jian''s hand, not letting her go. He was persuading her gently that she was being closely watched by her girlfriend.


    Qi Qi Qi glared at Mu Chen, and after greeting the other party''s fawning smile, she shook off the hand he was holding onto her wrist with all her might and sat down on a chair.


    "If you have anything to say, just say it in one breath. Let me be blunt. Although I, Zheng Qi, don''t want to be a soldier anymore, I still have a bottom line to being a soldier. I won''t use that bit of authority in my hands."


    Seeing how unmoved Qi Qi Qi was, He Yao couldn''t help but secretly curse in his heart, "It''s too much for me now. I''m still at the bottom line of the army. In the end, it''s because I don''t want to give enough benefits that I have to deal with this move.


    On the contrary, it would make him suspect that her intentions were impure. After all, she was originally one of the elite soldiers that was praised by everyone, and even if she was attacked now, she shouldn''t be so easily lured away, unless she had other motives.


    Although he felt disdain in his heart, He Yao still showed a fawning smile on his face.


    "Look at what you''re saying, it''s not that serious. Didn''t I also not ask you to do some heinous thing? I just want you to let them go at the most critical moment. If I don''t do this kind of thing, there''s still someone else doing it. It would be better for me to let my own people take advantage of me. " "I know you don''t lack money, but who in this world would care about money? Why would you need to spend money on something you can take for free? As long as you cooperate with me, you can count on my cooperation. Don''t worry, you will get your share of benefits."


    She hadn''t expected that He Yao would fall for her so easily. She was about to force herself to agree when she felt that her leg under the tablecloth had been lightly patted. Although she didn''t turn around to look, Qi Qi Qi knew that Mu Chen didn''t agree to her plan and wanted her to take a breather!


    After all, it was her first time doing undercover work. She wasn''t as accurate as Mu Chen, so she simply gave up the idea of nodding her head in agreement and maintained a cold expression, "I can''t answer you today. Let me think about it for a few more days."


    After saying this, she pulled Mu Chen and left without waiting for He Yao''s reply.


    "Why didn''t you make me promise?" Once she got in the car, Qi Qi asked first. There was no one else in the car, so she didn''t need to worry about others overhearing their conversation.


    "Didn''t you just say that you have a soldier''s bottom line? You changed your mind in just a few words. Don''t you think it''s too fast? Moreover, He Yao hadn''t told him his real plan yet. What he said was only to provide you with free supplies. With such little benefits, it''s way too easy for you to bribe him! "


    Qi Qi Qi lowered her head to think, and indeed, it was not that she hadn''t thought of this point, so in order to avoid He Yao''s suspicion, she had first displayed the attitude of rejection. When she saw that He Yao''s doubts had been cleared up a lot, she wanted to agree to it, but after listening to Mu Chen''s analysis, she was indeed a little too anxious.


    "I was being careless. I thought a popinjay like He Yao wouldn''t have such a sharp mind." Qi Qi didn''t hesitate to admit her mistake. She had too many prejudices against a popinjay like He Yao, which would indeed affect her judgement.


    "A popinjay doesn''t mean they''re stupid. No one is stupid enough to live in such a powerhouse circle. It''s just that everyone spends different amounts of time and energy on different areas."


    As he humbly accepted Mu Chen''s criticism, the conversation came to an end. For a moment, no one spoke. The carriage fell into silence.


    From the corner of his eyes, Mu Chen saw Qi Seventh. Seeing her calm expression, he couldn''t help but smile. "What are you thinking about?"


    Qi Qi Qi was stunned by Mu Chen''s question. She really wasn''t thinking about anything just now, and was just staring at Ye Jing blankly for a moment. She honestly replied, "I''m not thinking about anything. I''m just letting my mind go empty. I just want to relax a bit."


    "Fang Zhijun seems to be looking for a way to get promoted. When I met them at the clubhouse just now, it should be Mei Hong helping him."


    The original owner''s wish was only to have Fang Zhijun leave the army. Now that Fang Zhijun had left the army, whatever happened between him and Mei Hong no longer concerned her. It was better or worse, it was his own life, she did not care.


    "Oh, really?" Since he didn''t care, Qi Qi didn''t ask anymore, and just casually dealt with it.


    "If I''m not mistaken, he probably heard that I have a good relationship with He Yao, and he doesn''t know who I am. He must be trying to find me through He Yao."


    Hearing this, Qi Qi Qi was a little interested.


    She turned her head to the side and looked at Mu Chen. This fellow was too ¡­ For a moment, Qi Qi Qi couldn''t find the right words to describe the man in front of her. Since he understood Fang Zhijun''s purpose so clearly, he actually acted as if nothing had happened in front of Mei Hong and the rest. If Mei Hong were to know that the person whom she had entrusted so much to find was standing right in front of her, she would definitely regret it.


    This person was really suitable to be a spy. If she made an enemy out of him, she probably wouldn''t even know how she died. Fortunately, they were now in a cooperative relationship and not an enemy.


    "Why are you looking at me like that? Am I that scary?" Mu Chen looked at Qi Seventh with a smile.


    "I was wondering, what exactly do you look like? Is the one with the glib tongue and sloppy manner you are, or the one with the shrewd and scheming mind who counts as having nothing left out? "


    "All kinds of people are my fault. I thought you knew that people are diverse." Mu Chen raised his eyebrows with a gentle smile on his face.


    Qi Qi couldn''t see through the man, so she turned her head away. Whatever he said now, she would instinctively think a few times. Even so, she wasn''t sure if she could really understand his words.

 C64

    "If Mei Hong really does find her, how are you going to answer her if we entrust our relationship to you?" After sitting in silence for a while, Qi Seven thought of what Mu Chen had just said and asked.


    "If she really has the ability to find me, I will naturally give her a chance."


    "Give her a chance!?" Hearing Mu Chen''s reply, Qi Qi Qi couldn''t help but raise her voice and ask. She originally thought that Mu Chen would avoid her.


    "Aren''t you curious what price she would pay for Fang Zhijun''s promotion?"


    Qi Qi Hua pursed her lips. "I''m not curious."


    Mu Chen stopped the car at the side, turned his head, and looked at Qi Hua with a faint smile on his face.


    Being stared at by Mu Chen, Qi Qi Qi started to feel uncomfortable. She extended her hand to touch her face, "What''s wrong? Is there something on my face? Or did I say something wrong? "


    "I''ve heard that Miss Zheng has a deep affection for a man from the countryside. She doesn''t care about the dissuasion from the people around her and wants to marry him. It seems that the rumors are indeed untrustworthy."


    Qi Qi Qi could hear that although Mu Chen''s words sounded as though he was mocking her for her rumors, he was actually conveying a message to her. It was that her previous and current actions were too inconsistent, causing others to be suspicious of her.


    She lowered her head and fiddled with the handbag in her hand. She didn''t dare to meet his eyes because she was afraid that if she wasn''t careful, she would leak out her thoughts.


    "What''s so strange about that? He hid the fact that I was already married, so he obviously wasn''t that sincere towards me. If that''s the case, why should I keep thinking about him? I''ve already broken off all ties with him, so there''s no need to care about his life anymore."


    "Oh ~ ~ Is that so!"


    She raised her head and shot a glare at this damnable man. She opened her mouth, but swallowed back the words she was about to say. She was only cooperating with him, there was no need to fight with him for a clear understanding on private matters. There was no need at all.


    Mu Chen saw Qi Hua turn his head to look out the window, as if he didn''t want to talk to him. He didn''t insist and started the car to drive back to the Zheng Family.


    When he arrived at the Zheng Family residence, he didn''t wait for Mu Chen to say anything. He threw down the words, "Next time contact me." Then he opened the car door and left without looking back.


    Mu Chen sat in the car, looking at the disappearing back of Qi Seven. A smile appeared in his eyes. "It feels so weird and cute."


    Of course he knew why she didn''t care about Fang Zhijun. The only reason she had said that to tease him was because he wanted to see her hair standing up.


    He was looking forward to how she would react in the end when he stood before her in his true form. Perhaps, she would also be like today. She would awkwardly turn around and leave without saying anything at all.


    What choice would she make then? Go back? Or stay? He looked forward to her answer.


    Mu Chen took another look at the lights on the second floor of the Zheng Residence. The corners of his mouth twitched as he started the car and left.


    Qi Qi stood at the window, looking at the car moving further and further away under the cover of the curtain, and whispered, "Weirdo."


    Then she shook off her high heels and went into the bathroom. After acting for so long, she desperately needed a hot bath to relax.


    In the dead of night, after he had showered, Qi Qi abandoned everything and fell into a deep, sweet sleep. On the other side of the city, there was someone standing in front of a closed door, unwilling to move his feet.


    Mei Hong stood at the door of Fang Zhijun''s room, raising and lowering his hands several times.


    Since Fang Zhijun left the army, he moved in with her. Originally, he didn''t want to, because he hated her so much. After all, she was the one who moved out of his hometown, so he reluctantly moved in.


    However, he did not give her a single chance. Everyday, she would either be busy at work until the middle of the night before coming back, or once she came back, she would shut herself in her room, refusing to come out no matter what. If this continued, how could she find a chance to recover his feelings?


    These few days, she didn''t sleep in the living room, so she persuaded him to meet her at the clubhouse. She didn''t expect that just as she was about to leave, she would bump into Zheng Qi.


    She secretly rejoiced in her heart after hearing Zheng Qiqi''s heartless words at the club''s entrance. Fang Zhijun should be dead in his heart, right? But the moment he returned home, he locked himself in his room, looking dejected and unable to live.


    If she continued like this, he would hide in his shell and not come out. If not, even if she did everything she could to get back at him, it would be useless. She had finally revived once with great difficulty because she wanted to stand together with him at the peak of her power.


    After some thought, Mei Hong still knocked on the door.


    "Brother Zhijun, you haven''t eaten anything all day today. I''ve prepared dinner, come out and eat something."


    There was no response from the room. Mei Hong knocked on the door again. The sound became softer. There was even a hint of sobs.


    "Brother Zhijun, I know you''re feeling bad, but things are already like this. We still have to move forward. Miss Zheng is not from the same world as us. Since she has a new lover, you ¡­" "Then you ¡­"


    Just as Mei Hong was hesitating on what she wanted to say to persuade Fang Zhijun to give up on Zheng Qi, the door in front of them was forcefully pulled open without any warning.


    Fang Zhijun did not even look at Mei Hong. He walked past her and sat down at the dining table, staring at the four dishes and the soup in front of him in a daze.


    Because Fang Zhijun ignored her, Mei Hong''s gaze turned cold. However, she quickly recovered her gentle expression and walked a few steps over to sit beside Fang Zhijun, considerately serving him more food and soup.


    "Brother Zhijun, I''ve stewed this soup for a long time. I added a little Chuan Bei into it to soothe my lungs and relieve my cough. I saw that you were coughing a few days ago. Drink more."


    Mei Hong placed the bowl of soup in front of Fang Zhijun, looking at him with a pleading expression.


    Fang Zhijun lowered his head to look at the steaming hot soup bowl, which was slowly wetting his eyes. He reached out his hand to grip the bowl tightly, not caring about the scorching temperature in his hands.


    After a long while, he asked in a low voice, "Do you really think that I am not from the same world as Zheng Qi? "What world is she in, and what world am I in?"


    It seems like his life in the army these few years was too simple and comfortable, and he was completely unable to recognize the cruelty of this world. This person was originally divided into three or nine grades, and with no power or influence, he had to rely on his own authority to put himself and the other nobles on the same level. This is too much self-deceiving.


    However, Fang Zhijun was finally willing to open his heart and speak to her, so she naturally couldn''t show her disdain by pointing at him.


    Thinking of this, Mei Hong tightly held onto Fang Zhijun''s hand. When she felt her hand covering him, there was an undetectable trace of resistance, but it was quickly relieved. This slight change allowed Mei Hong to see hope.


    "Brother Zhijun, we can''t change our backgrounds, but we can change our fates with our own efforts. Right now, there''s a huge gap between our identities and Miss Zheng''s, but as long as we work hard, we''ll eventually become great men." Mei Hong took the opportunity to instill inspiration in Fang Zhijun.


    This was not the first time he had heard Mei Hong''s words, but today, they seemed to excite his heart. That''s right, his birth could not be changed, he could rely on his own hard work to change his fate, he was not afraid of hardship, as long as he succeeded, he was willing to pay any price.


    One day he would stand in front of her in another capacity, and he would let her know that the man beside her was not the only one who was worthy of her.


    When Mei Hong saw Fang Zhijun''s increasingly resolute expression, the huge stone in her heart finally fell to the ground. As long as he was willing to advance, and with the advantage of having more lives, she would definitely be able to help him reach the top position in power. Of course, the precondition would be that he would put his heart into her, be willing to bring her along, and not let the other women get lucky.


    With a goal in mind, Fang Zhijun became very cooperative with Mei Hong''s drawing of strings. No matter what kind of meal it was, Fang Zhijun would actively participate, and at the dinner table, he would pay attention to the way those people spoke.


    Gradually, that slightly stiff man became more and more tactful. Sometimes, even Mei Hong was unable to judge which sentence was polite and which was true.


    But in any case, Mei Hong was now very satisfied because Fang Zhijun no longer resisted her, and even had some intimate movements, so he let her be. As long as Fang Zhijun had any plans to start over with her, she was confident that she could grasp his heart.


    After meeting with He Yao for a while, Qi Qi Qi and Mu Chen had a few more times with He Yao. Qi Qi Qi observed He Yao''s body movements and language carefully and found out that He Yao was relaxing more and more every time, and the information he gave out was also more and more.


    Under Mu Chen''s instructions, she slowly loosened her mouth as well. From her initial stern rejection to her later hesitation, her attitude changed into something very natural and careful. So far, He Yao hadn''t found anything out of the ordinary.


    Of course, during this period, He Yao had given Qi Qi Qi a few times for free in order to show his sincerity. Qi Qi had also taken a few bites of the goods in front of him in order to win his trust, but before that, she had taken them all with Mu Chen''s help. She couldn''t possibly get addicted to drugs because of this mission.


    After testing each other for more than a month, finally, during the meeting last night, He Yao had truly talked about some of the details of the cooperation.


    Having made such a big breakthrough, she was immediately excited. She had slept a little late last night and was woken up by Mu Chen''s phone ringing in the morning.


    The instant the phone rang, her consciousness returned. However, when she saw the caller ID, she immediately fell back onto her soft bed and closed her eyes with a drowsy look on her face.


    "Do you know how long I''ve only slept? Didn''t we agree to let me have a good rest today? It''s still early in the morning. "


    He didn''t realize how intimate her tone sounded at the moment, but it was obvious that the person on the other end of the line did.


    A deep laugh came from the other end of the phone, a voice filled with magnetism that made Qi Qi Qi''s sleepiness even more intense.


    Alright, it''s all my fault. You don''t need to get up, just lie down. I have something to tell you.


    Hearing this, Qi Qi was about to explode. What was with this light tone? From his tone, it was obvious that what he was going to say next wasn''t important. Since it wasn''t important, why did he come and disturb her sleep? She hadn''t had a good night''s sleep in over a month.

 C65

    "Early this morning, I saw a document on the old man''s desk. It was a transfer order for Fang Zhijun to become vice-captain of the Drug Enforcement Squadron."


    Mu Chen''s words were very plain, it was as if he had met up in the morning and casually asked, "Have you eaten yet?" But when Qi Qi Qi heard this, she immediately jumped up from her bed in shock. Because she had woken up too fiercely, she almost fell off the bed, so she quickly steadied her body and asked again.


    "Fang Zhijun!? How long has it been since he transferred to the police station before he was promoted to vice captain of the Drug Enforcement Squadron? Didn''t you say that your old man is the head of the police station? "How come you didn''t know about this until the dust settled?"


    Just as she finished speaking, she heard laughter from the other end of the phone. It was the kind that was a little pampered. Hearing this kind of laughter, she felt a little hot at the tips of her ears. Is what I said funny? "


    Mu Chen hurriedly explained, afraid that this person would be angered and throw the phone away.


    "No, how could I find you funny? I thought you were very sharp, and immediately discovered that something was wrong."


    He''s lying to a child! Qi Qi Qi pouted her lips, but she did not go back. Instead, she used her hand to pick up her hair, which was slightly messy due to sleeping.


    Mu Chen immediately stopped after seeing this and explained the situation.


    It was precisely because something was wrong that this transfer order appeared on my father''s desk, otherwise a mere vice captain position of the Drug Enforcement Squadron wouldn''t attract my father''s attention. During this period of time, Mei Hong and Fang Zhijun must have spent a lot of effort, so they must have connected to another line, so I didn''t receive any news about it. But this is also good news, and through Fang Zhijun''s line, maybe we can find a hidden force in the police station.


    Qi Qi Qi immediately understood what Mu Chen meant when she heard this. He was planning to use both sides to attack together, using He Yao and the other side to connect to the line, as well as monitoring Fang Zhijun and the others. This way, he could not only greatly increase the success rate of the operation, but also clear out the information that the other side had buried in the police.


    "Then what should we do next?" Seventh Seven subconsciously asked for Mu Chen''s opinion. She was originally someone who had her own opinions, but after interacting with Mu Chen recently, she gradually learnt to rely on his judgment.


    "For the time being, we don''t need to do anything. We should just follow our original plan to contact He Yao and get on the line with him first, and according to our current progress, we should be able to meet up with them soon. As for Fang Zhijun''s side, we should not make any moves first, and see what they want to do."


    Qi Qi frowned and felt that although this method was safe, it would drag on for a long time. However, at the moment, she did not have a better plan, so she could only nod and agree.


    "The temperament of your ex-fianc¨¦ suddenly changed drastically. From an upright and good youth to a slave with money. As your ex-fianc¨¦e, what thoughts do you have?"


    As soon as he finished discussing the important matters, Mu Chen immediately started gossiping.


    Qi Qi rolled her eyes. She initially didn''t want to say anything, but before she hung up, she threw a ''what the hell does it have to do with you'' into the phone.


    Hearing the beep from the other end of the phone, Mu Chen silently smiled. He could imagine that after the call ended, this little woman would definitely shake off her phone and scold him for gossiping.


    Because of her appearance, Fang Zhijun''s fate had changed from the very beginning. She did not expect that after leaving the army, he would still be related to this matter, and it seemed like the fate of the characters in the world of quests was not that easy to change either.


    "If the fates of everyone in the underworld were to shift more or less to their original trajectory, could the people the original owner wanted to save really escape the scythe of the god of death?"


    Qi Qi shook her head and comforted herself. She had succeeded in changing the original owner''s fate in the previous few missions, so there shouldn''t be any mishaps this time.


    "Knock knock!"


    "Please come in!"


    Hearing someone knocking at his door, Qi Qi didn''t hesitate and immediately invited him in.


    The only person who could knock on the door at this time was his mother. She probably came back late yesterday, and because she was worried about nagging, and because she was worried about the protection of the old man, she came to the door early in the morning to scold him in front of the old man.


    Sure enough, after his mother entered the room, before Qi Qi could speak, she opened her mouth first. "Was it Mu Chen who sent you back last night?"


    "Yeah, we went out for a meal yesterday and coincidentally met a friend, so we chatted for a while longer." Qi Qi didn''t want to say much. If it wasn''t necessary, she didn''t want to lie too much.


    "You and Mu Chen''s target?" After hesitating for a long time, Zheng''s mother finally asked the question that had been hidden in her heart for days.


    Compared to that sloppy Mu Chen, she would rather have her daughter marry the honest and well-mannered Fang Zhi Jun. Moreover, she heard that after Fang Zhi Jun left the army, he also developed very well in the public security system, which meant that this child was very capable. If he really had no feelings for the wife he married in his hometown, he could also break off his relationship with her.


    His mother''s question almost made him fall off his bed. She and Mu Chen? How is this possible?


    "How could that be? Mom, I''m just here to chat with Mu Chen, aren''t you thinking too much!? "


    She even patted her chest with a hand, her face filled with fear. "Not bad, not bad, I thought you and Mu Chen were together. Seventh, let me tell you, to find a man, we have to find an honest and reliable one to lead a life. Do you remember that your family background is all fake?"


    "Mom, don''t worry so much. For the time being, I won''t think about matters of the heart. I''ve only been busy for so many years, so I''m a bit tired. I want to give myself a relaxing vacation."


    "Fine, as long as you know what''s good for you, do you think your mom wants to become a nagging old lady!?" "Really ¡­" His mother pushed his forehead with her index finger. She looked pained and helpless.


    Having gotten the answer she wanted, Zheng''s mother stood up and prepared to go downstairs to prepare breakfast. It was already getting late, if they didn''t continue, they wouldn''t need to eat breakfast anymore. But when she reached the door, she stopped.


    Seeing her mouth twitch, looking as if she didn''t know how to start, Qi Qi Qi knew that Zheng''s mother must have more questions she wanted to ask, but felt that it wasn''t appropriate, so she didn''t want to make her mother worry any longer, so she asked first.


    "Mom, if you have anything to say, please ask directly. Is there anything you can''t say to your own daughter?"


    "I heard ¡­" Zhijun is about to be transferred to the Drug Enforcement Squadron? He ¡­ Is there any connection between him and that Mei Hong? "


    Hearing her mother''s question, Qi Qi immediately understood the hidden meaning behind her words and almost sighed. She was planning to reunite with Fang Zhijun!


    "Mom, tell me, what have you been thinking every day? Is it because the hospital''s work has been too leisurely recently? " Instead of answering his mother directly, he asked her a rhetorical question to avoid the question.


    "Kid, is this how you talk to your mother? I just feel that you and Zhijun have been friends for a long time, if you both still have feelings for each other, and he and Mei Hong no longer have any connections, you can actually consider everything together. You don''t have to worry about others'' opinions, you just need to follow your own heart. "


    "Mom ~ ~ Fang Zhijun and I are impossible. He''s living together with Mei Hong right now, and they''re doing well, so why would I come over blindly? Also, I really don''t feel anything from them anymore. Even if he and Mei Hong were to end up together, I wouldn''t even consider him." He was afraid that his mother wouldn''t believe him, so he looked at her with a magnanimous expression.


    "Sigh ~ ~ ~ If you really thought it through, then just pretend your mom didn''t say anything today!" His mother sighed as she opened the door and left.


    Qi Qi looked at the lightly closed door, weakly lying back, and then immediately rolled around on the bed twice, to vent her inner madness. What and what? Where did she appear to be? It was as if Fang Zhijun still had some lingering feelings. She had clearly stated it clearly from the beginning, hadn''t she?


    She did not plan to marry and have children in the Mission world, but looking at her performance today, she definitely would not agree to be single for the rest of her life. For a short period of time, she could use the excuse that she did not want to talk about relationships, but as time went by, she could not keep using that excuse. If she really did use it, then her parents would be even more anxious to find a partner for her.


    "Ahh ~ ~ ~ Heavens, give me a man who can act as husband and wife with me for his entire life!"


    Qi Qi really hoped that the exchange library given by the company could be used to exchange for such a man. Unfortunately, this was just her wish.


    The problem of how to convince the Zheng Family''s seniors was posed by Qi Qi Qi. Mei Hong, on the other hand, clearly had her own troubles.


    She looked at Fang Zhijun who was bent over behind his desk, and couldn''t help but frown deeper. Ever since their conversation, Fang Zhijun''s entire condition had undergone a tremendous change.


    He had become ambitious, of course she was happy, but she had a faint feeling that this man had already left her control. He had used her connections in the shopping mall to slowly establish himself as the vice captain of the Drug Enforcement Squadron. She did not know what he had promised, but he had actually obtained the position of vice captain in such a short amount of time.


    She had helped him so that he could lead a better life. But if she had helped him, then he would end up like all the birds and beasts in the world. Why would she need to help someone else?


    While Mei Hong was looking at Fang Zhi Jun with a complicated expression, Fang Zhi Jun had also noticed her gaze. He suddenly raised his head to meet Mei Hong''s gaze, but it was too late to hide his worry.


    He almost couldn''t be seen as he frowned. Soon, a faint smile appeared on his face. It was gentle yet distant. If it was a few months ago, that smile would definitely not appear on his face.


    "What''s wrong? You''re looking at me like that? "


    "No ¡­." It''s nothing. I just wanted to ask what you''d like to have for lunch. And I''m afraid to interrupt your work, so I don''t know if I should ask. " Mei Hong lowered her head, pretending to smile shyly.

 C66

    Fang Zhijun stared straight at Mei Hong for a while, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. However, he quickly concealed his expression and gently said, "Anything is fine. As long as it''s something you make, I like to eat it."


    Mei Hong''s face reddened as she raised her head to look at him shyly. Then, she turned around and walked into the kitchen.


    Fang Zhijun watched her figure disappear at the kitchen door, and a trace of coldness flashed through his originally gentle eyes.


    If he had not known by chance, Mei Hong would not have worked at the hotel where he was engaged to Zheng Qiqi, the words he had said previously were all lies.


    After that, he carefully observed the methods she used to deal with those influential figures in the business world. He understood this woman''s plans and methods. Perhaps he really would believe that what she was doing now was all for his own good, but he knew the truth.


    She had deliberately destroyed her own engagement banquet, causing her to lose her original bright future. Now, all she had to do was treat it as paying off the debt she had owed her. When he succeeded, they would go back on their own path.


    However, he still needed to use her, so it was necessary for now.


    Mei Hong stared at the pot of boiling soup. Her mind had long since drifted off to somewhere else.


    The more she thought about Fang Zhijun''s bit by bit change during this period of time, the more desolate her heart became. Especially when she saw the coldness Fang Zhijun hid in the depths of his eyes.


    What had gone wrong? Wasn''t the original Fang Zhijun honest and honest? Why did such a drastic change occur after she spent so much effort to pull him away from Zheng Qi? Could it be that his feelings for Zheng Qi had really reached such a deep level? It was so deep that it was as if he had become a completely different person?


    Mei Hong forcefully shook her head, shaking off the uncertainty and panic in her heart. She had put in so much effort, so no matter what, she couldn''t give up at this time.


    But she could think of a way to have Fang Zhijun and her as husband and wife as soon as possible. If she was lucky enough to have a child, even if Fang Zhijun still had Zheng Qiqi in his heart, he wouldn''t be able to withstand the pressure from her parents. Even if he was a thousand times unwilling, he would still obediently go back and marry her.


    After making up her mind, Mei Hong felt much more at ease. She stirred the spoon on her phone and waited patiently for the pot of soup before her to be ready.


    Just as Mu Chen had predicted, not long after, He Yao made a call to Zheng Qi, secretly asking him to introduce someone to her.


    Once Zheng Qi heard this tone, he knew that the person Mu Chen and she were looking for was about to appear. After hanging up He Yao''s phone call, he immediately called Mu Chen, wanting to discuss the next meeting with him.


    "Did He Yao call you?" The moment he picked up the phone, Qi Qi immediately asked directly, not worried at all that the person who answered the phone might be someone else.


    "Yes, he called me over ten minutes ago. It seems like he has already informed you."


    "Then what should we do next?" "Should we arrange for people to directly arrest them and bring them back before the meeting, or wait for the snitch from the police station to take action?"


    The person on the other end of the line was silent for a long time before a voice could be heard again.


    "Don''t worry, since the other party can bury them so deeply, it means that he is a cautious person. This is the first time he has met with us, and he won''t give us any information. Let''s meet with him according to He Yao''s arrangement, and then we can talk about the other party after that."


    Once Zheng Qi heard that Mu Chen had a full plan, his heart calmed down. Whether or not she would succeed in this mission all depended on whether or not she could catch that criminal gang in one fell swoop. She did not know why, but she believed in Mu Chen''s judgement for no reason at all.


    Since Mu Chen had an idea in his mind, he didn''t think too much and could only secretly train his body from behind Mu Chen''s back.


    In the period before he went to see He Yao, Mu Chen suddenly became very busy. He would often disappear for two to three days, and even after a short conversation, he would leave right after. He understood that he was just a chess piece in Mu Chen''s hands, and it was impossible for Mu Chen to bet all of his treasures on him, so he didn''t ask about it. However, a small feeling of disappointment would occasionally arise in his heart, and before his master could understand what was going on, he would disappear without a trace.


    Although she understood that even if she saw that person, she could only temporarily remain still, but when Qi Qi Qi held onto Mu Chen''s hand as they entered the room, she was still a little excited. She had never seen a true drug dealer before, and this time they were even seeing a drug dealer.


    Mu Chen lowered his head to look at the smile that appeared on Qi Qi Qi''s face. The smile in his eyes flickered as he reached out his hand to pat the back of her white hand that was tied to the crook of his hand. He leaned over and whispered into her ear, "What? It''s just a drug dealer, is there anything to be happy about? "


    The warm air brushed against Qi Qi Qi''s ears. It was actually a little scorching. Qi Qi could only move to the side to hide without leaving a trace before raising his head to glance at Mu Chen.


    "Which eye of yours is happy to see me? I''m just curious."


    Mu Chen only smiled when he heard this, but didn''t say anything. This was because in the blink of an eye, they were already at the entrance of the private box.


    Just as he was about to raise his hand and knock on the door, the private room door was pulled open from the inside. Qi Qi Qi quickly took a glance at the inside of the private room and saw He Yao sitting on the left side of the main seat.


    Because of the angle, with such a quick glance, Qi Qi Qi could not see clearly what the person sitting on the main seat looked like. She could only see that he was wearing a milky-white loose Tang suit, his sleeves casually rolled up to a third of his forearm.


    "Young Master Mu, Miss Zheng, I''ve heard a lot about you."


    After the bodyguard opened the door, he stepped aside and looked in the direction of the voice. Only then was he able to see clearly what kind of person they were going to meet today.


    Although his facial features were not that handsome, he could still be considered handsome. Just from his appearance, he did not look like a drug dealer at all. On the contrary, his aura was that of a scholarly man who came from a scholarly background.


    Although he did not show it on the outside, he was secretly cursing in his heart. This man was indeed a wolf in sheep''s clothing. He looked pure and honest, but if he was fooled by this man''s appearance, he would probably die without even knowing how.


    Mu Chen seemed to understand what Qi Qi Qi was thinking. He stretched out his hand to take her hand and squeezed it gently. When Qi Qi Qi turned to look at him, the corners of his mouth curled up in a smile.


    "Come, come, let me introduce you. These two are the Mu family''s eldest son, Mu Chen, and the Zheng family''s eldest daughter, Zheng Qi. This is the friend I would like to introduce to you, Mr. Li Chen from the Honest Lodge."


    After He Yao introduced them one by one, Li Chen gave Mu Chen and Qi Qi Qi a faint smile. He politely extended his hand, preparing to shake hands with Mu Chen.


    Qi Qi glanced at the slender finger that Li Yao stretched out and hit the hand that Mu Chen had just stretched out with a ''pa'' sound. Qi Qi then pulled his arm and sat down on a nearby seat, completely ignoring Li Chen''s empty palm and He Yao''s embarrassed face.


    "Hur hur, this is Qi Qi Qi''s personality. She is afraid of strangers. Don''t be offended by her, Mr. Li. Just get familiar with her and it will be fine." He Yao tried to smooth things over with a serious face, but in his heart, he was silently cursing the seven fakes for being fake and high and mighty.


    Li Chen slowly retracted his hand. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He had a smile on his face, but his eyes turned cold.


    "Don''t worry about it, don''t worry about it. Let''s sit down and talk."


    Taking the chance when Li Chen turned around and sat down, He Yao sneakily glanced at Mu Chen, to the effect that, while taking care of his own woman, he shouldn''t be too rude.


    Mu Chen nodded in understanding, and then turned his head to the side and whispered into Qi Seventh''s ear. After hearing this, Qi Seventh first slightly frowned, and then nodded unwillingly.


    Seeing Caiqi''s reaction, He Yao finally felt relieved and hurriedly sat down next to Li Chen to refill his tea cup.


    "The main purpose of this meeting is to let everyone get familiar with each other. After all, there may be many opportunities for cooperation in the future. Don''t forget us if Mr. Li has any good sources!"


    Li Chen smiled faintly and said politely: "Of course, we have been working together for a long time and have been enjoying ourselves. Young Master Mu and Miss Zheng were both introduced by Young Master He, so I naturally believe you. I just don''t know if Young Master Mu and Miss Zheng are willing to cooperate, but how much sincerity would there be in cooperating?"


    As he spoke, Li Chen didn''t forget to observe the expressions of Mu Chen and Zheng Qiqi who were seated opposite him. When he first entered the room, Zheng Qiqi''s display of authority caused him to lower his guard even though it was embarrassing.


    As far as he knew, Zheng Qiqi was a very tall person. Even though he was addicted to drugs, he could not let go of his second generation status. He was usually very strong when dealing with people, which should be related to her military career.


    As soon as she entered the room, she welcomed them with a smile and flattered them with a small smile. It was more likely that there was something fishy going on inside. On the other hand, it was more normal for her to reveal her true nature and feel disdain for people like them from the depths of her bones.


    Besides, it was better to not know how to cover up. Wasn''t it safer to work with such a person? He liked to work with people who thought they were smart.


    When Qi Qi heard Li''s words, she was overjoyed in her heart. She was preparing to find out the truth about them.


    She quietly shook Mu Chen''s hand under the table. The two of them tacitly shook hands, but no flaws were revealed on their faces.


    "That depends on how much sincerity Mr. Li can show us." Mu Chen pretended to be a coward as he glanced at Qi Seventh. Seeing that there wasn''t any dissatisfaction on her face, he replied with a smile.


    "Young Master Mu, can you make the decision on this?" "Hahaha, this is a joke, a joke." He Yao glanced at Qi Qi seven, who had lowered his head and had a cup of tea, and said to Mu Chen half-jokingly and half-sarcastically.


    "Of course, as long as Mr. Li''s conditions are good, there''s no need for us to refuse, right?" Mu Chen puffed out his chest with a look as though he was in charge of everything. However, when he met the gaze of seven or seven people, his originally straight chest couldn''t help but shrink back.


    When Li Chen saw Mu Chen''s attitude and He Yao''s introduction earlier, he was even more certain that the one making the decision was Zheng Qi, so he pretended to glance in Zheng Qi''s direction and saw that she had pursed her lips. Although she did not say anything, she did not show any signs of resistance.

 C67

    "Since Young Master Mu and Miss Zheng are interested in working together, let''s make an appointment to talk about the details." Since Young Master Mu and Miss Zheng are interested in working together, let''s make an appointment to talk about the details. Li Chen mysteriously smiled at Seven Fields. As he picked up his phone, he glanced at Mu Chen. There was a trace of a smile that could not be understood in his eyes.


    Qi Qi Qi did not know what Li Chen was planning in his heart. She subconsciously looked at Mu Chen, only to see understanding in his eyes. It seemed that Mu Chen knew the person Li Chen was going to introduce.


    "Come here!"


    Li Chen pressed a number on his phone. After the other party picked up, he simply said these two words and hung up. His attitude was very haughty and he had a seventy percent chance of winning.


    Qi Qi Qi frowned and glanced at Li Chen, but didn''t say anything. She picked up the wine cup in front of her and took a sip.


    Very soon, someone knocked on the door, pushing it open from the outside.


    Everyone heard the sound and looked towards the entrance. Seeing who it was, Qi Qi Hua couldn''t help but be shocked.


    "Fang Zhijun!?"


    "Looks like Miss Zheng really does know Captain Fang. Then I don''t need to introduce her." Li Chen looked at Zheng Qi and Mu Chen with a faint smile.


    Zheng Qi stood up abruptly and questioned sternly, "What does Mr Li mean by this? "I thought you were full of sincerity. I didn''t expect you to embarrass me today."


    "Miss Zheng, what are you talking about? It''s exactly because of your sincerity that I wanted to introduce you to my partner. How could I embarrass you?"


    Li Chen''s manner of asking even though he already knew the answer made him grind his teeth in anger. Of course, this was just a reaction that Li Chen had shown to his personality the entire time. In his heart, he already understood the identity and purpose of Fang Zhijun appearing at this kind of occasion.


    Mu Chen also quickly stood up, holding on to Qi Qi Qi''s shoulder as he comforted her softly, "Qi Qi, don''t be so angry. Perhaps Mister Li doesn''t know about the conflict between you and Fang Zhi Jun. It was just an unintentional action."


    He picked up his bag and was about to turn around and leave when he angrily said: "Mu Chen, do you still have any prospects? This bullying has already bullied your doorstep, and you still have the face to say that it was unintentional! "


    Seeing that Qi Qi Qi was really angry, Mu didn''t dare to say more. He could only turn around and wave his hands towards Li Chen and He Yao with an expression of "I have tried my best, but I really can''t do anything about it."


    "Qi Qi, I know I did something wrong before, but it''s been so long. Even if we can''t be friends, there''s no need to be so unhappy. This time, Mr. Li didn''t bring me here to embarrass you, he really did have something important to discuss with you."


    Once, when his fiancee saw him have such a huge reaction, Fang Zhijun really didn''t know whether to be happy or not. The reaction showed that she wasn''t completely without him, but this reaction was filled with resentment and disgust. This clearly wasn''t a good thing.


    "Business!? With you? I don''t think I have anything serious to talk about with you. "


    Although she scoffed disdainfully, Qi Qi Qi immediately sat back down when Mu Chen lightly pulled her arm. However, the expression on her face wasn''t very good.


    Throughout the entire conflict, Li Chen watched coldly from the sidelines without saying a word. He only watched with interest at Zheng Qi, Mu Chen, and Fang Zhijun. It was only when the situation was under control that he smiled and tried to smooth things over.


    "Look at me, I really did this out of good intentions. I thought that Miss Zheng and Captain Fang would get to know each other since we have a lot of things to cooperate with each other in the future, so I wanted to make use of this opportunity to let everyone meet each other. In the future, we shouldn''t rush into the Dragon King''s Temple. "Then the future collaboration ¡­"


    Although he didn''t finish his sentence, the meaning behind his words was clear.


    When Qi Qi Qi heard this, he only raised his head to glance at Li Chen. His lips moved, but in the end he turned his head away, acting as if he wanted to do something.


    Afraid that the thread that he had spent so much effort to tie would be cut, He Yao hurriedly tried to persuade them.


    "I''m afraid Mr. Li''s worries are unnecessary. We are all adults, how can we be affected by such trivial matters? Besides, if we give up this opportunity to cooperate, it will be difficult for us to find a better partner in a short period of time, right?" Don''t you think so? Mu Chen! "


    Worried that he might be alone and talk a little, in the end, He Yao didn''t forget to bring Mu Chen along either.


    Mu Chen stared blankly at the table in front of him. Suddenly, he was startled by He Yao''s question. He immediately put on a smile and echoed, "That''s right, that''s right. Who said I wasn''t?" After saying this, he leaned close to Caiqi''s cheek and gently bit his ear. Although the sound was very soft, the way he spoke was enough to cause Li Chen to stare at him.


    He saw Mu Chen saying, "Seven, don''t be impulsive. Think about the savings in our bank account and the attitude of our family''s old man when he found out that you were addicted to drugs. Don''t be stubborn right now. In the future, other than necessary cooperation, just pretend that Fang Zhijun doesn''t exist.


    After Mu Chen finished speaking, the expression on Qi Qi Qi''s face eased up a bit. She slightly nodded her head. Although her attitude was still a bit forced, she still agreed.


    Seeing Mu Chen and Qi Qi Jian whispering to each other as if no one else was around, Li Chen and He Yao pretended not to have seen them because they had other intentions. Only Fang Zhijun''s face turned pale when he saw their intimate actions.


    After He Yao told him that Qi Qi was addicted to drugs, he had naively thought that as long as he could make a name for himself and not turn his back on her when he knew that she was addicted to drugs, there was still a chance for them to get back together. But who would have thought that when he abandoned his conscience and dignity as a soldier to enter the drug business, she would have already turned a blind eye!


    All the women in the world were the same. Mei Hong had run away with another man because she was poor and he was away for a long time.


    He thought that Qi Seventh would be different. After all, back then when he was still a nameless soldier without anything, she had chased after him with the status of a 2nd generation soldier. He had thought that there was true meaning behind her actions.


    But how long have they been separated? Even if he was the one at fault, she shouldn''t have been with another man so easily!


    If a woman was unreliable, then the only thing that could be relied on in this world was money and status.


    When he thought of this, Fang Zhijun''s gaze became firmer. He did the right thing, people should not kill themselves, he should never put his own fate in the hands of others, and he would not work hard for others. He needed to earn enough money to take the initiative to take back his own destiny.


    Starting from today, it will be restored to the 3rd of every day. Perhaps, with the time allowed, there will be more chapters that will give everyone a pleasant surprise.


    Everyone had their own plans for this meal. Fortunately, they had all achieved their goals, so despite the awkward atmosphere at the beginning, the meal ended without a hitch.


    After getting on the car, Qi Qi looked at the people standing in front of the restaurant in the rearview mirror. Seeing that their figures were getting smaller, she loosened her stiff shoulders.


    "Even if I eat a few more meals like this, I still doubt that I will get stomach problems!"


    "If that''s the case, then how can we continue working undercover?" Mu Chen turned his head and looked at Caiqi who was constantly moving his shoulders, relaxing his movement. There was a trace of a smile in his eyes.


    "Forget it, after this successful operation, I will obediently go back to the army and be my head soldier. I won''t dare to take on such painstaking work like undercover agents in the future."


    "This isn''t like you. Don''t you always face difficulties head-on?"


    "That''s because there''s no other way. Who in this world doesn''t know how to live a happy life? Who knows if they can live a peaceful life or not? Why did they find fault with themselves?"


    Only someone who had never experienced hardships would regard facing them as a challenge. Someone like her, who had crawled out of the water since childhood, would absolutely not look for trouble unless it was absolutely necessary, but now, she had no other choice. The people in front of her were barriers after obstacles, and if she didn''t step over, then she would only have to face death.


    It was obvious that Mu Chen didn''t expect Qi Qi Qi to reply like this. His hand that was holding the steering wheel became stiff, but it quickly returned to normal and he sighed.


    "Yeah, who doesn''t want to live a peaceful and happy life?!"


    Qi Qi Qi didn''t notice Mu Chen''s sudden change and continued thinking about his next move.


    "How many more times do we need to contact Li Chen before we act? I can see that Li Chen is not a simple character. He actually used Fang Zhijun to test me. "


    "Fang Zhijun is only a small chess piece in his hands. The snitch Li Chen planted in the police has not been revealed yet. This shows that he is still wary of us. Let''s play around and see what they plan."


    Qi Qi leaned her head against the window and tilted her head to look at Mu Chen. In the dark night, his facial features were occasionally illuminated by the streetlights. Sometimes they were clear and sometimes they were blurry, but somehow they gave her a sense of security.


    "Actually, today might be a good opportunity for Fang Zhijun to come here. Fang Zhijun looks calm and sincere, but in reality, his self-esteem is extremely strong, and seeing that I''ve been pairing with you in such a short amount of time, he must be very unconvinced. After he returns, he will definitely fight for the chance to show off in front of the people who promote him, so as long as we secretly observe his recent actions, it''s not hard to find out who he''s online."


    At first, she thought that she could get approval after analyzing this part, but after waiting for a long time, Qi Qi Hua did not get any response. When she turned her head sideways and saw Mu Chen''s calm and emotionless expression, she pouted and asked, "Hey! Do you think that my analysis is correct? "


    Mu Chen shook his head with a faint smile, and rapped his hand on her forehead, "You want to use me, but don''t you think that Li Chen also wants to use Fang Zhi Jun to test us? In our line of work, we need to always bear in mind the fact that mantis stalks cicadas and yellow sparrows follow behind. "


    "It can''t be! How could Li Chen have such deep thoughts? If he''s so worried about us, why would he come out and meet us so soon? " Although his heart had already agreed with Mu Chen''s worries, he still had some questions.

 C68

    "Didn''t you notice that everything he said today left no evidence? From the beginning to the end, he didn''t say what we were going to work with, he just said that everyone might have a lot of opportunities to work together in the future, so we should get to know each other better. "


    Hearing this, Qi Qi carefully recalled what Li Chen had said at dinner and immediately realized that Li Chen was indeed rather tactful today. He did not say anything that he shouldn''t have, even though they both knew what their so-called cooperation was.


    "Li Chen is so cautious. Aren''t we going to have to spend a lot of time on this mission?"


    "What is it? Are you worried? "Don''t worry, it won''t be long before this mission is finished."


    Mu Chen''s gaze fell on the road in front of her, and she was unable to see anything from his eyes. However, since he had said it so confidently, he must have already been fully confident. She leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes and rested, choosing not to pursue the matter anymore.


    "Brother Zhijun, you''re back. Is the meal going smoothly?" When Mei Hong heard the door open, she hurriedly placed the clay pot on the table. While she took off her apron, she walked up to him enthusiastically.


    During this time, Fang Zhijun had risen up very quickly in the department. Mei Hong was glad that she didn''t give up on Fang Zhijun when he left the troop, but was also worried that Fang Zhijun would continue to treat her coldly and dump her sooner or later. In order to win this man''s heart, she put most of her energy into trying to please this man, and instead, put down a lot of the work outside of her body.


    Fortunately, her sacrifices weren''t without rewards. Although it had been so long, and she and Fang Zhijun were still sleeping in separate rooms, at least Fang Zhijun was now able to speak happily to her. She believed that in the near future, they would definitely become real husband and wife.


    He did not know where this evil thought came from, but he pulled her over and pressed her against the wall. Before she could react, he had already fiercely covered her mouth with his, and even though he did not gently touch her, Mei Hong was so excited that she wanted to scream.


    No matter what Fang Zhijun''s purpose for this change was, as long as their relationship could advance to the next level, she did not mind the reasons.


    As if deeply afraid that Fang Zhijun would regret his decision, Mei Hong wrapped her arms around his neck, deepening this kiss that was not at all charming.


    Fang Zhijun had only enjoyed this kind of relationship between a man and a woman during his first marriage with Mei Hongjun, and later on, he had lived a pure heart without desire in the army. Even though he had later established a relationship with Zheng Qi, he had not allowed his male hormones to slip past him due to the circumstances of Zheng Qi''s family. Now that he was suddenly in contact with a soft female body, the passion that he had suppressed for many years drowned out his rationality.


    The pot of soup on the table was steaming under the light of the lamp. As the night went on, the temperature gradually dropped.


    It wasn''t that she wasn''t tired, but she was even more excited. After working hard for so long, they finally had such a qualitative breakthrough, and as long as she continued to persevere, she believed that it wouldn''t be long before she could have this man''s heart again.


    Indeed, Li Chen did not disappoint his image as a sly old fox. In the following few meetings, he carefully probed the background of Seventh Seven and Mu Chen. Of course, he wasn''t the only one who would do this.


    After making sure that there were no risks, he finally made an appointment to meet up with Seventh Madame and Mu Chen again. Of course, Fang Zhijun was also participating in the meeting.


    Qi Qi looked at the address on the navigation tool, then raised her head to look at the surrounding desolate scene, and the corner of her mouth curled up involuntarily.


    "This Li Chen really knows how to find a place. He could actually find a place in such a remote place. If it wasn''t for the latitude and longitude that was given to us beforehand, ordinary navigation tools wouldn''t have been able to locate that place."


    "If they were just ordinary goods, they wouldn''t be worth us spending so much time and energy on them." Mu Chen smiled faintly as he placed both of his hands on the steering wheel. He stared straight ahead with a calm expression.


    "This place... The surroundings are completely deserted. Once our people appear, Li Chen will be able to notice it immediately. " After turning a corner, Qi Hua looked at the plains in front of him, his brow furrowed slightly.


    "So, we have to think of a way to lure him out, and we also need to leave behind evidence, so that when the time comes, we won''t have any evidence to prove ourselves."


    "How do we leave evidence? "We are spies. Can our statements be used as evidence?"


    "At the very most, we can only be witnesses. We still need to gather evidence."


    Qi Qi did not have any knowledge of these kinds of court proceedings, so she did not have much knowledge about them. If she did not understand, she could only choose the method of direct inquiry.


    "You mean the drugs?"


    "This is part of the deal. More importantly, we need the video data from the transaction."


    "Needle hole camera!?" 77 immediately thought of a prop that appeared frequently in TV dramas. Although she was busy watching very few TV dramas, she still knew that one of the most useful tools in police movies, especially in spy movies, was the pinhole camera.


    Mu Chen didn''t immediately answer and just turned to the side. He bent down and opened the storage box in front of Qi Qi, and took out a small jewelry box. He then handed it over to Qi Qi.


    Qi Qi took the jewelry box and was stunned for a moment. Then, she immediately realized that this must be the pinhole camera she mentioned earlier. Therefore, she opened the lid without waiting for Mu Chen to speak.


    "This... This is a pinhole camera! " Isn''t that a bit too exquisite?


    "Let''s try it on and see if it fits."


    This was a milky white earnail in the shape of a plum flower. The middle part of the earnail was inlaid with a small stamen made of black gemstone, and the entire earnail was only the size of a pinky nail, not to mention the stamen part in the middle was so small that it could be ignored. If she guessed correctly, the camera''s camera hole should be hidden behind this black gemstone.


    Opening the mirror above his head, Qi Qi carefully put on the earring. Although the original owner didn''t like wearing jewelry, it was fortunate that he had his ear pierced by Zheng''s mother at a young age.


    "How is it? Does it look good? " After putting it on, Qi Qi turned around and shook her head at Mu Chen, indicating for him to look at the earring on her ear.


    Mu Chen turned his head to look and saw the small earring reflecting a sparkling light due to the sunlight. The seven or seven round and smooth earlobes sparkled brilliantly, contrasting with her already white skin which was even more tender.


    Seven or seven was already quite long and not bad looking. It was just a small earring at the moment, yet it gave off a completely different feeling. It gave off a feeling of gentleness.


    "This kind of dressing suits you very well!"


    I was just casually asking whether it looked good or not, so I didn''t plan to let Mu Chen answer. Hearing such praise, my face couldn''t help but turn red, and I said awkwardly: "Ha, only you would say it''s alright. My mom would be so shocked to see me dressed like this. I can''t see anything wrong with it, can I? Li Chen was so meticulous. Could he have prepared some sort of infrared detector? Will this camera be found by him? "


    "No, I found this camera by chance while I was overseas. There aren''t any instruments that can detect it so you can feel free to bring it with you."


    Hearing Mu Chen''s guarantee, Qi Qi Qi''s originally worried heart finally calmed down.


    In the meantime, the two of them had already reached their destination. Just as the car stopped, Qi Hua opened the car door and jumped out first. His hands were inserted diagonally into the pockets of his training pants, and arrogance had already replaced on his face.


    Mu Chen turned off the engine and got out of the car. He walked a few steps to Caiqi''s side and placed the coat he had brought from the car on her shoulders. He softly said, "It''s cold outside. Put on your clothes!"


    Qi Qi Qi lifted her head to look at Mu Chen, but she could only see genuine concern in his eyes. For a moment, she couldn''t tell if he was acting or not.


    "I didn''t expect Miss Zheng and Mr. Mu to be so close!?" A voice suddenly interrupted.


    Qi Qi Qi and Mu Chen looked towards the source of the voice and saw that Mei Hong was in Fang Zhijun''s embrace, looking at them with a mocking smile.


    "Fang Zhijun, what do you mean? "You actually brought someone who has nothing to do with you at a time like this. Don''t you fear that this woman will be in trouble!"


    Qi Qi Qi glared at Mei Hong for a moment and then ignored her and questioned Fang Zhijun with an arrogant look, as if Mei Hong was not even in her eyes.


    "Regarding me, Mei Hong knows all about it. She won''t ruin our business and will instead provide an appropriate amount of help. Mr Li also agrees to bring her here."


    Fang Zhijun politely replied without the guilt and guilt he had shown when facing seven or seven. His hand was even firmly looped around Mei Hong''s slender waist.


    Of course, Mei Hong knew that Fang Zhijun''s current performance was mostly because he was angry at Zheng Qiqi and not because he cared about her.


    However, she did not care. With Zheng Qi''s temper, he would only agitate things further and further away. She could not wait for Fang Zhijun to use this opportunity to provoke her again.


    He thought that by using this method to provoke women, women would change their minds out of jealousy. In reality, that wasn''t the case at all, only towards women whose hearts were still on you would this kind of stimulation be effective. If the heart was no longer on you, then no matter how much you did, it would just be a joke on you, and it was obvious that Zheng Qi''s heart no longer belonged to Fang Zhijun.


    There would be plenty of chances for her to regret it in the future, just like her previous life. Only in this life, she had already learned the lesson from her previous life, and no matter what happened, she would not leave Fang Zhijun.


    Others might not know what Mei Hong was proud of, but she knew very well that in this life, Mei Hong was destined to never get what he wanted. Now that Fang Zhijun had stepped into the quagmire, he was already destined to perish and become the general''s wife! It was more practical to pray for a second chance at rebirth.


    When Fang Zhijun saw the look in Seventh Brother''s eyes when he looked at Mei Hong, his heart jumped in joy for a moment. He thought that Seventh Madame still couldn''t let him go, that everything she had done before was just to take revenge on him. He had even secretly made up his mind that as long as he was still in Zheng Qi''s heart, he would not care about her and Mu Chen''s relationship during this period of time.

 C69

    Qi Qi Qi no longer looked at Fang Zhijun and Mei Hong, and took Mu Chen''s hand and walked towards a small wooden house not far away. This wooden house was located in the center of a vast plain, and one could tell from the fresh soil around it that this was a temporary house.


    Fang Zhijun saw that they had entered the house first, so he did not delay any longer. He let go of Mei Hong''s waist and followed her into the wooden house. Mei Hong was left far behind. Mei Hong bit her lips, not daring to complain.


    When they entered the wooden house, He Yao and Li Chen were already waiting inside. The structure of the house was very simple. Apart from a few sets of large sofas, there was nothing else.


    Qi Qi Qi looked up and met Mu Chen''s eyes. She was suspicious in her heart. Li Chen had spent so much effort to gather everyone here. Could this be another test? Otherwise, why didn''t he bring the goods with him?


    Mu Chen gave her a calm and patient look before hugging her and sitting on the sofa on the other side.


    When He Yao saw the two of them walking in, and saw Fang Zhijun and Mei Hong, who had followed them in, he instantly smiled in understanding.


    Li Chen only narrowed his eyes and swept a glance over them before he smiled and greeted, "Now that everyone is here, it''s time to get down to business. "I''m sorry for taking up so much of everyone''s time. I hope you can understand why. In our line of work, although the rewards are great, the risks are also great. I have no choice but to be careful."


    Seeing everyone nod in agreement, Li Chen''s smile deepened. "But please believe that once I tell everyone the truth, I will give everyone the greatest amount of trust. I just hope that everyone will not disappoint me."


    Qi Qi Jian curled her lips as if she didn''t think much of what Li Chen had just said.


    "Miss Zheng, are you not convinced by my words? Do you think I''m being overconfident?" Li Chen smiled in a good mood. He did not explain anything further and took out a flat aluminum safe from a shadow beside his sofa. He stood up, placed the safe on the coffee table in front of Qi Qi and opened it.


    Qi Dingqing looked inside and saw twenty to thirty bags of white powder neatly placed. She couldn''t help but reveal an astonished expression.


    "I hope this gift can make Miss Zheng feel better!" Li Chen spread out his right hand and pointed in the direction of the box.


    "For me!?"


    "Yes, this is a gift specially prepared for Miss Zheng. It should have been presented as a greeting gift the first time we met, but at that time, it wasn''t mature enough. If you did, I''m afraid it would have troubled Miss Zheng. That''s why it took so long!"


    77 reached into the safe and took out a small bag of powder. He poked a small hole in it with his finger, then put some of the powder into his mouth and tasted it.


    "Such high concentration, it must be expensive!" If Mr. Li wants to take money, then I won''t be able to afford this gift. "


    "Miss Zheng, you must be joking. Since it''s a gift, there''s no reason for you to pay. This is just a little bit of sincerity from me. I hope that we can cooperate happily in the future."


    "I didn''t expect Mr. Li to be so generous. No wonder Mr. Li had such a good relationship with you." This time, the smile on Zheng Qi''s face was much more sincere. His actions as he leaned against the sofa even carried an almost imperceptible sense of satisfaction.


    "Haha, I knew you would be so straightforward. Since you''ve accepted this gift, it means that our partnership has been established. I still need your help in the future." Seeing that Qi Qi Qi was in a good mood, He Yao hurriedly took the opportunity to beat her up.


    "What, you''re going to order me to do something so soon? Mr. Li''s hands are really hot from holding this thing." Qi Qi glanced at Li Chen from the corner of her eyes with a mocking expression on her face.


    "Where!?" "Miss Zheng is being too serious. It''s He Yao who doesn''t know how to talk. If there''s anything that makes you misunderstand, please forgive me." Although Li Chen explained with a smile on his face, his nonchalant look clearly showed that he agreed with He Yao''s words.


    "Come on, since we''re talking business, I, Zheng Qi, am not the kind of person who would take advantage of others for free. Just tell me what you want me to do, no need to beat around the bush."


    "Miss Zheng is indeed straightforward. No wonder Yao always said Miss Zheng was straightforward." After a polite compliment, Li Chen did not waste any more time on nonsense and simply explained how they would work together in the future.


    "I have a friend who owns goods abroad. Originally, there was a very stable channel for them to enter the country, but a few days ago, an accident happened and we couldn''t sell any goods on this route. According to He Yao, the Zheng Family has a great influence in the military, and I hope they can make use of the Zheng Family and the Mu Family''s influence to make things convenient for us at the Customs Department."


    After quietly listening to Li Chen''s request, Seven Fields frowned and pondered for a long time, not replying for a long time.


    Seeing that Qi Qi Qi didn''t answer him, He Yao quietly reached out his hand and pushed Mu Chen, giving him a look so he could ask him a question. However, Mu Chen frowned and shook his head, obviously not wanting to be the leader.


    He Yao turned around to look at Li Chen, but seeing his calm face, and even leisurely sipping a cup of tea, he couldn''t help but curse in his heart. One or two critical times were not enough for him.


    Therefore, he had to bite the bullet and break the silence. "Seventh, Seventh, can you agree to these requests of Mr. Li?"


    After asking this question, he stared fixedly at the expression on Qi Qi Qi''s face, afraid that she would suddenly change her expression. After being in contact with her for the past few days, he had a deep understanding of this young miss'' violent temper.


    Furthermore, during the time he had spent in contact with Zheng Qi, he discovered that even though she said that she wouldn''t return to the army, she didn''t do anything that would really harm the interests of the troops. For her to suddenly agree to such a request, he wasn''t sure if she would agree or not.


    Although his expression was relaxed, his gaze did not leave Qi Hua. Since he dared to say such words today, he had some confidence in himself, so what if he was a son of a Venerable family? Even if he was a tough guy, he could only bend his back and compromise, not to mention, she was only a woman slightly stronger than an ordinary man.


    Sure enough, after pondering for a long time, Qi Qi Qi still nodded in the end.


    "It''s a deal, I will do my best to make things convenient for you guys, but I have a request. I need to take 30% of the profits from every transaction."


    "30%!" He Yao was the first to react, and even his voice rose an octave higher. He then realized that he had lost his composure, embarrassedly cleared his throat, turned around and asked in a low voice, "Seventy-Seven, do you know how much this thirty percent profit is? Aren''t you afraid of pushing yourself to death! "


    "What I''m blocking is the reputation and connections that our Zheng Family has accumulated for generations. Furthermore, there are the powers of the Mu Family. What, aren''t these enough to cover 30% of the profits?" Although they were just asking, Qi Qi Qi''s words were very forceful. Everyone disagreed, and wanted to scatter them.


    Li Chen''s eyes turned cold for a second, but soon calmed down again. When He Yao wanted to say something, he reached out his hand to stop him.


    "Fine, 33%, but I also have a request. Other than clearing this path, I also need you to help me insert a few people into the military."


    Hearing this, Qi Qi Qi turned her head and looked at Fang Zhi Jun and Mei Hong who were silently sitting at the side. The corner of her mouth curled up into a pretty curve, but her eyes were filled with ridicule.


    "Don''t tell me the person Mr. Li is talking about is Fang Zhijun?"


    Li Chen shook his head slightly, "Of course not. From the attitude of the leader when Miss Zheng entered, I knew you guys are not suited to work closely together. Besides, Captain Fang is developing well in the police force and there''s no need to change places. I''ll need Miss Zheng''s help. When the time is right, I''ll introduce you to her."


    "That''s good. If Mr. Li says it''s Fang Zhijun, then I''m afraid our cooperation ends here." Septimus coldly snorted and turned his head away, no longer looking at Fang Zhijun''s ashen face.


    "Miss Zheng, no matter what happened in the past, you and Brother Zhijun have already returned to the bridge. Why must you be so overbearing?" Seeing that Fang Zhijun''s expression was bad, Mei Hong hurriedly opened her mouth to seek justice for the man beside her.


    "Do you have the right to speak here?" Qi Qi Qi looked at Mei Hong with disdain. She was unwilling to speak with her, as if speaking to her would lower her status.


    Mei Hong bit her lips. Her eyes were red from anger, but there was nothing she could say. Her position was not as high as anyone''s, and the heart of the man beside her was not with her. What else could she do other than endure?


    "I ¡­" After saying that single word in a choked voice, Mei Hong didn''t say anything else and only tightened her grip on Fang Zhijun''s arm.


    Fang Zhijun did not feel sorry for Mei Hong, but if he still remained silent after being slapped in the face like this, then he would be too useless.


    "Seventh Brother, don''t worry. Even if Fang Zhijun doesn''t have any backbone, he won''t waddle for mercy in front of you. I''ll fight for my own way out. I just hope that when I''m successful, you won''t regret it!"


    "Ha!" Mu Chen, this must be a joke right? Someone actually said that they want to see me regret. Since I was young, have you seen how I feel about my regret? " Qi Qi Qi didn''t look at Fang Zhijun, but instead looked at Mu Chen with a playful expression.


    "No, never!" Mu Chen looked at Fang Zhijun with an annoyed expression, as if he was looking down on everyone else.


    Li Chen''s eyes filled with interest landed on the two couples in front of him. The smile on his face became wider and wider. It''s good to have competition, it''s better to have enmity.


    He had always been a fisherman.


    "Don''t look down on him. Since Brother Zhijun is able to advance so fast in such a short time, then he has the ability to make you look at him in a new light."


    "Don''t you know the Mu Family''s influence in the police? "No matter how capable Fang Zhijun is, he is still just a pauper without any roots who came from the countryside. Not to mention the Mu family, even Mu Chen, with just a slight movement of his finger, he would be able to let Fang Zhijun return to being a low level police officer for the rest of his life. I really don''t know where you got the confidence to make a ruckus with me."


    "Do you think that the Mu Family is the only one in the police station? The Chen family''s power is also not small. If they really want to fight, the Mu family might not be able to escape unscathed. At most, they would only end up with a lose-lose situation ¡­ "


    "Shut up!"


    Without waiting for Mei Hong to finish speaking, Fang Zhijun sternly stopped her because he saw Li Chen''s cold eyes on the two of them. He couldn''t help but shiver when he was swept by such a gloomy gaze.

 C70

    After being yelled at by Fang Zhijun, Mei Hong immediately regained her consciousness. She knew that she had said the wrong thing and did not dare to say anything else. She could only lower her head in regret.


    "I was wondering who could be so daring as to promote a small policeman to vice captain of the Drug Enforcement Squadron in such a short time. The Chen family is really capable of doing such a thing."


    Qi Qi glanced indifferently at Li Chen before reaching out her hand to hold onto Mu Chen''s hand. She intimately leaned on his shoulder and whispered to him. Although it was a whisper, it was definitely not soft.


    Fang Zhijun''s expression was ugly to the extreme. After being called a little policeman again and again, he believed that no one would feel comfortable. But now that the woman he brought here said the wrong thing, revealing another hidden snitch that Li Chen had put up, at this moment, he didn''t dare to make a single sound.


    "Mr. Li, you are being too kind. It''s not like you don''t know the relationship between the Chen family and the Mu family." Mr. Li, it''s not like you don''t know the relationship between the Chen family and the Mu family.


    Qi Qi''s words were quite harsh, but Li Chen''s expression did not change even if he had the ability.


    "Miss Zheng, you must be joking. I''m just a businessman. I only care about maximizing the benefits. As for personal grudges, that''s not something I should be considering."


    "What a good negotiator. According to Mr. Li''s theory, shouldn''t I remind myself that I must always ensure that I have the ability to use it? Otherwise, the consequences will be dire ¡­" She was not afraid of offending Li Chen. She knew that the more she behaved in this way, the lower Li Chen''s wariness towards her would decrease.


    "Since Mr. Li has already said so, let us meet with the Chen family members at the appointed time. After all, we are on the same boat, it''s not good to avoid them."


    Li Chen only hesitated for a moment before he nodded and agreed to seventy percent of the conditions.


    "Since Miss Zheng wants to eliminate the estrangement between the two families, I will arrange a time for you two to meet." Since Miss Zheng intends to remove the estrangement between the two families, I will arrange a time for you two to meet.


    Qi Qi gave a faint smile and did not speak. Qi Qi nodded her head, showing that she agreed with Li Chen''s point of view.


    "Are there any other arrangements today? Before coming out, my old man specially instructed me to go back early since we are having a banquet tonight. "


    Mu Chen saw that they had already finished discussing what they needed to talk about and had gotten an additional piece of important news today. Thus, he opened his mouth to find an excuse to leave.


    Since they had already arranged to meet with the Chen family members, today''s operation to retract the net could not begin. Before they came out to meet with Li Chen, the action team had already formulated two plans.


    They had agreed that if the roof of the car was open when they left, it would mean that they could start arresting people. If the roof was closed, then the operation would have to be temporarily cancelled. Now that they had received such an important piece of news, he would naturally go back as soon as possible to revise the operation plan.


    As soon as Mu Chen spoke, he understood his intentions. He stood up and grabbed the safe in front of him, before stuffing it into Mu Chen''s chest. Then, he looked down at the people still sitting on the sofa.


    "I''ve already accepted the gifts and made the promises that I should make. We''ve already reached a consensus on what we should do, so Mu Chen and I will be leaving first. After all, we aren''t like the idle people who only know how to follow others when they have nothing to do."


    Before he left, he did not forget to mock Mei Hong.


    Mei Hong was so angry that her face turned red. However, after committing such a huge mistake, she did not dare to speak anymore. All she could do was knock down her teeth and swallow her blood, enduring her anger.


    "How long will the operation be delayed?" Qi Qi knew she would need to redeploy when she returned this time. She was not in a hurry, but if she could finish the mission earlier, then she would have had something on her mind sooner.


    "Try to get all the people involved arrested the next time we meet."


    "If this matter involves the Chen Clan, won''t it be very troublesome?" They were both in the same circle. Although the Zheng Family and Chen Mu''s family weren''t in the same system, they still understood the division of interests quite well. The Chen Family and the Mu Family had competed for several generations and could be said to be mortal enemies of the government.


    "Don''t worry, we were mentally prepared for this matter. It''s just that the Chen family has been cautious and we haven''t been able to find any clues. If we can use this operation to take care of them, it might be a good thing even though it will be a little difficult."


    "That''s true, as long as the Chen family falls, your Mu family can advance one step further." Qi Qi knew that Mu Chen did not intend to carry off the Chen family, but she still laughed and made fun of him. She wanted to see how Mu Chen would answer.


    "If the Mu Clan can progress further, would you be interested in becoming the Mu Clan''s next mistress?"


    "Cough ¡­" Cough ¡­ * Qi Qi Qi almost choked to death on her own saliva. After coughing a few times, she looked at Mu Chen as though she was looking at a monster.


    "Can you notify me in advance before you make such a horrible joke? It''s easy to scare people to death. "


    "Alright! "I apologize, but you can take this joke seriously, I think we are rather suitable."


    Hearing this, Qi Qi Qi''s eyes widened even more. After staring blankly for a while, she seemed to realize something and quickly took off the earring on her earlobe. She held the earring and asked anxiously, "This photo still doesn''t seem to be turned off, we shouldn''t have recorded everything that happened just now, right? Will we be able to record it when the time comes?"


    "This is to be the final submission to the court. Do you think it can be edited?" Mu Chen smiled as he looked at the anxious Caiqi.


    "Oh my god!" Why didn''t you tell me earlier that I forgot about the recording? If the judge were to see this, or the higher-ups in the police station were to see it, wouldn''t it be a great loss of face? "


    Seeing that Qi Qi Qi was really worried, Mu Chen took the earring from her palm and casually put it into his pocket. He then lightly patted the top of her head.


    "It''s just a joke. There''s no need to be so nervous. I already cut off the video when I left the cabin, and the images I shot in the house earlier were sent back to the station via satellite. Now, there''s nothing in this earring."


    After hearing Mu Chen''s explanation, Qi Qi Qi finally relaxed, but immediately, an unnamed fire rose from the depths of her heart.


    "You talk the same thing for a while, can you still hear the truth from your mouth?" She had already instinctively taken Mu Chen''s words of wanting to marry her as a joke.


    "It''s also a necessary lesson for a spy to distinguish if what they are hearing is true or false."


    "Forget it, I''ll just be a guest spy. After this mission is over, I still have to go back to the army. I''ve seen for myself that although our place is a bit tough on training, our focus is on simplicity, and not tiredness is better than anything else."


    Qi Qi leaned against the passenger seat, lowered the glass window a little, and spoke faintly to the evening breeze.


    "If you weren''t born in a military or political family and were just a commoner, would your parents be happier than they are now?"


    Yes, I have always known that the more you get, the more you will pay, and in a high position, what you will often have to pay is your feelings and human nature. Compared to this life, I prefer the life of a small citizen who is troubled only for the sake of money and oil, and don''t need to pursue too much or bear too much responsibility.


    Mu Chen listened to Qi Qi''s description but didn''t say anything else. He just quietly sent her back to the Zheng Family and reminded her not to go out and train alone during this period of time in case Li Chen or the Chen Family found out anything.


    After a period of intense training, Qi Seven agreed to Mu Chen''s suggestion as he believed that his martial arts had returned to its original level.


    After that, all the operations were carried out naturally as they were fully prepared in the early stages.


    From the last time they met, only a week had passed. 77 had already received a call from Li Chen saying that he had made an appointment with the Chen family and that they would meet up. But before that, he hoped that he could use his power to bring in a batch of goods from the Customs Department.


    After discussing with Mu Chen for a moment, Qi Qi Qi estimated the value of this batch of goods. After arranging for the manpower to track the origin of the goods, they agreed.


    He could only personally make a trip and pull away the person in charge with the excuse of reminiscing about the old days. Furthermore, he also had Mu Chen arrange for some people to assist him, but luckily, Mu Chen had arranged everything properly, and he had successfully completed his mission of faking the goods.


    In his heart, he was even more certain that since seventy percent of the men had already done this, they wouldn''t be able to get off the ship even if they wanted to. Thus, he could relax and arrange a meeting between the Chen Family, Seventh Seven, and Mu Chen, and of course, Fang Zhijun, Li Chen, and He Yao would be there as well.


    After Qi Qi and Mu Chen arrived at the predetermined location, they couldn''t help but sigh inwardly about how lucky they were. Although they had arrived a few years earlier, the place where they met this time was actually where the original owner died a few years ago.


    This small restaurant looked so unremarkable from the outside, but it was used as a place to trade by drug dealers twice. Of course, this definitely wasn''t a coincidence; this restaurant was definitely the stronghold of this drug trafficking gang.


    "Worried?" Mu Chen took the opportunity to ask as he was standing in front of the entrance of the restaurant, pretending that he was helping Qi Seventh to tidy up his hair.


    Qi Qi Qi looked up into his eyes, smiled faintly, and retorted with a question, "What do you think?"


    On the car, Mu Chen brought the earring to her ear again. However, this time, the earring had a different shape, changing into the shape of a Resurrection Lily, it was very eye-catching with a red and bright color. After all, if they were to wear the same earring twice, it was possible that a meticulous person like Li Chen would suspect it.


    Although this person usually didn''t have any proper bearing, he still knew that this person was reliable.


    This time, it wasn''t a real deal in the strict sense of the term. It might be more appropriate to call it a meeting where multiple interests were divided, but after today, the people inside would get their due end instead of continuing to use illegal means to gain fame and fortune for themselves, as they had expected.

 C71

    After entering the private room, Qi Hua looked around to see that all the guests had arrived. His lips curved into a smile as he walked to the empty seat and sat down.


    "Sorry, I came a bit late. Please forgive me, women always take more time before they leave."


    "It''s fine. There''s an old saying that a woman looks like a person who enjoys herself. I didn''t believe it at first because I felt that love for beauty was a woman''s nature and would not change just because of men. Now that I''ve seen the change, I have no choice but to believe it." As he spoke, Chen Min intentionally glanced dubiously at Mu Chen, who was sitting next to Qi Hua.


    Mu Chen raised his head to look at Chen Min, his firm lips first pursed, then he laughed, "It''s been so long since I''ve seen you, yet you still speak so well. No wonder the Chen family''s elders like you so much, I just don''t know why you can''t please your own wife."


    "Hahaha, everyone should be hungry. Come, come, come. Let''s have some food first. We''re old friends from many years ago, if there''s any chance to chat again in the future, why be so hasty?" Seeing that the atmosphere had changed, He Yao hurriedly calmed down, stood up and poured wine for Mu Chen and Chen Ming.


    Since the cooperation had been confirmed, Chen Min had no intention of making the scene too ugly. Therefore, he took the chance to take the steps set up by He Yao and walked down.


    Qi Qi pretended to be concentrating on eating. She didn''t look at Chen Min, but inwardly, she was cursing him for setting her on fire as soon as he arrived.


    It could be said that to a certain extent, his position represented the Chen family. His performance today was either because he did not want to cooperate, or because he wanted to fish for more benefits in the cooperation. According to her analysis, the possibility of the latter was rather high.


    But no matter what he planned to do, he was destined to never succeed today. As long as she and Mu Chen could get him to participate in the drug trade, they would have enough men outside to take action.


    This time around, she and Mu Chen had prepared very well. All possible dangers had been taken into account, and the surrounding citizens had already been quietly evacuated the moment they entered the restaurant. They had also repeatedly confirmed that no one was staying in the building.


    The reason everyone came here wasn''t to eat anyway. After the atmosphere became a little better, Li Chen took the lead to start the topic they were going to talk about today.


    "Everyone knows that we are all on the same boat right now, making money together and taking on risks together. So no matter what the outcome of the discussion is today, please remember, since we all came together, after we leave this restaurant, no one is allowed to go back on their words."


    Everyone looked at each other and nodded in agreement.


    "Originally, we had already divided this chain of benefits. As descendants, Qi Qi Qi and Mu Chen naturally have to take less. Otherwise, wouldn''t what we did before just become someone else''s gift?" Chen Min was the first to express his opinion.


    Qi Qi Jian heavily placed the cup on the table, but she was not in a hurry to fight for her own benefits. Instead, she asked, "Then tell me how much you originally took, so that I can use it as a reference."


    "Not much, our Chen family got 30%, Li Chen originally got 40%, after all, he was the one who pulled the strings, he also found the overseas sources, He Yao is in charge of bulk goods, and this part is also very important, so he got 30%."


    With this, Chen Min''s crime could be considered settled. Whether or not he could bring down the Chen Family, at least the reputation of the Chen Family, even if they could be separated from the main family, without the successor, the Chen Family would not have any great achievements for the next 30 years. Besides, whether or not they could get rid of all the culprits, there was still a need for further explanation!


    "Then, how much are you willing to split the profits? Previously, I had an agreement with Li Chen, but I want 30% with Mu Chen."


    "I don''t agree with that. There are four of us in total, and even if Li Chen gave us only 30%, even if He Yao and I were unwilling, we would at least give them a portion for fairness. Wouldn''t that be less than the share given by you and Mu Chen? Why do you have to take the bigger share later on?"


    As it was a matter of interest, Chen Min wasn''t prepared to act magnanimous.


    Fang Zhijun sat at a corner of the dining table, watching as these high and mighty Second Generation Officials revealed such an ugly expression for money. The corner of his mouth raised into a mocking smile.


    Mu Chen looked thoughtfully at Fang Zhijun, his eyes turning colder. This man was one of the variables in his plans from the beginning. The only reason he tolerated going up the mountain was because he had the confidence to crush him.


    I don''t care how you guys split it, I will just put it down here, I want 30% of the profits from Mu Chen and I. If you agree, then we will work together, if you don''t agree, then I don''t care, after all, the one who invested so much money is not me. Qi Qi acted like a dead pig that was unafraid of boiling water and refused to give any room for negotiation.


    He had always been a person of high standing. Normally, he would always be flattered by others, but never had he suffered such humiliation. Even if he knew that he could not be impulsive now, he could not control his temper.


    I originally thought that Mu Chen was the one who was hard to bite, but I didn''t expect that you, Zheng Qi, would be the tough one. Since you don''t have the sincerity to negotiate, then I don''t need to lick my face and ask for your cooperation.


    Seeing that things were about to break down, He Yao stood on the side, extremely anxious. However, when he looked at Li Chen, he found that he was only lowering his head and drinking tea silently.


    Li Chen also had his own plans. The 30% of the profits would definitely be distributed to Zheng Qi and Mu Chen, but the same amount would also depend on the circumstances.


    He did not believe that if he gave away that box of good stuff from a while ago, he would not be addicted to it. As long as she had tasted the good stuff, she would naturally not take notice of the ones on the market. When she came back to look for them, it would be the best time for him to negotiate.


    "Sure, I, Zheng Qi, have always been a man of my word. Chen Min, you''ve said all that today. I have no reason to shamelessly stay here any longer. Goodbye."


    After saying this, Qi Qi stood up and pulled Mu Chen out of the room. Although she did her best to remain calm, at this moment, her heart was tightly entwined.


    As long as they walked out of the door, the special police outside would be able to come in and capture everyone inside the room, and the mission would be over.


    She had also paid attention to the people in the box just now. Perhaps it was because they didn''t bring any goods, but they all subconsciously thought that there wouldn''t be any danger. Even if they were caught, there wouldn''t be any problems without evidence. Therefore, everyone was wearing the same set of clothes and did not carry any big weapons, let alone a bomb. Even if someone brought a small firearm with them, they would be able to handle the encirclement.


    Perhaps it was because he noticed Qi Qi''s nervousness, Mu Chen tightly held her hand the entire way, hoping to calm her down.


    In less than a minute, she was already sweating profusely. Even though she knew the probability of failure was very low, she still couldn''t help but be nervous.


    When his feet finally stepped out of the restaurant, Qi Qi couldn''t help but look up at the sun in the sky and felt that this sun was incomparably resplendent.


    She didn''t turn back, but she could clearly hear the faint sounds of footsteps coming from behind her. It was the light footsteps of the commandos that she was very familiar with. If it wasn''t for the large number of people, it would be hard for her to distinguish them with her hearing.


    Soon afterwards, Qi Qi Qi heard the sounds of fighting coming from the box upstairs. She was pulled to the side by Mu Chen, and when she turned around to look, she saw Chen Min, Li Chen, and He Yao being pushed downstairs with their hands behind their back.


    Qi Qi Jian felt that something was wrong, but couldn''t remember what it was.


    "Fang Zhijun has run away!" Mu Chen''s deep voice came from beside him, and Qi Qi could finally understand what had happened a moment ago.


    Fang Zhijun was from the special forces and was quite skilled. If he took advantage of the chaos in the room to jump out the window and escape, it wasn''t like he didn''t have a chance.


    Although he knew there was definitely someone chasing after him, Qi Qi still went around to the back door of the restaurant worriedly.


    Mu Chen knew Seventh Seven''s thoughts, but he didn''t stop her. He only ran after her.


    When Qi Qi Qi rushed to the back door as fast as she could, she could no longer see anyone. She stood where she was and looked up at the open window. She could not help but smash the wall in frustration.


    "He actually escaped!" After vexed for a moment, he immediately looked up and said to Mu Chen: "At this time, Fang Zhijun has nowhere else to go. If he wants to escape, he needs money, and right now, the only person he can find is Mei Hong. Let''s immediately go to Mei Hong''s place."


    Then, without waiting for Mu Chen''s reply, she ran to the car not far away.


    Fortunately, Mu Chen was skilled, so he quickly caught up. Before she got into the driver''s seat, he stopped her and signaled her to sit in the front passenger seat.


    Qi Qi knew Mu Chen''s driving skills were better than hers, so without any doubt, she went to the first passenger seat.


    Fang Zhijun jumped out of the window and ran, so he definitely wouldn''t be able to get the car immediately, so when they went over now, they only needed to find a place to hide and wait for them. Fortunately, during the fight, she and Mu Chen had already left, so even if Fang Zhi was suspicious, they wouldn''t immediately suspect her.


    When he got down to the Plum Blossom apartment building, he saw her standing there in a daze. She was holding several shopping bags in one hand and her phone in the other. She was completely stunned.


    Seventh Seven walked in front of her, but before she could say anything, Mei Hong had already thrown away the things in her hands, and her fists rained down on Seventh Seven as she shouted, "It''s all because of you, it''s all because of a woman. If you didn''t insist on chasing Big Brother Zhijun out of the army, he wouldn''t have done that headless work."


    Hearing this, Qi Qi Qi immediately understood the reason behind Mei Hong''s abnormal mood. Just now, it was most likely Fang Zhijun who had called. It was very possible that he was hiding somewhere and had called Mei Hong for help. In other words, Mei Hong now knew where Fang Zhijun''s base was.


    But now, Mei Hong''s emotions were so agitated that it was obviously impossible for her to tell him where Fang Zhijun was hiding. Without any other choice, seven or seven experts ruthlessly slapped Mei Hong''s face.

 C72

    "Wake up. At a time like this, you still have the strength to blame others. Think about your future as an accomplice!"


    Mei Hong fell to the ground after being slapped by the slap, and the words of Qi Qi Jian surfaced in her mind. This time, she no longer cared about venting her dissatisfaction, and quickly got up, hugging Qi Qi Qi seven''s thigh and explaining: "Miss Zheng, believe me, I''m not with Zhi-ge, no, Fang Zhijun, I ¡­ I was forced to do this, please don''t wrongly accuse me! "


    "It depends on how you behave if you''re in the same boat as them?" Noticing that Mei Hong''s consciousness had returned, Qi Qi immediately seized the opportunity to persuade her.


    "How can I prove it? Tell me what to do, and I''ll do it." Mei Hong nodded her head vigorously.


    "Just now, it was Fang Zhijun who called you, right? Where is he now? "


    "I ¡­" "I ¡­"


    Seeing that Mei Hong was still hesitating, Qi Qi Hua was about to leave. "I''ve already given you the chance. Since you don''t know how to cherish it, you can answer me after the judge asks you."


    When Mei Hong heard this, how could she dare to hesitate? She poured out every single word that Fang Zhi Jun had said to her like beans, and then carefully looked at Qi Qi Qi''s face as she pleaded: "I already told you everything I know. When the judge asks, can you let me be the witness of the blemish and make up for it?


    After getting the answer he wanted, Qi Qi Qi didn''t have the mood to continue fighting with Mei Hong and could only coldly say: "I will naturally ask for anything you want, but you have to be smart. If Fang Zhijun calls you again later, you know how to answer right?"


    "Yes, yes. I will do my best to stall for time so that you have enough time to find him." Mei Hong immediately responded appropriately.


    She looked at the cosmetics scattered on the ground, they had all come out from her bag. An hour ago, she was happily purchasing cosmetics, preparing to dress up and make Fang Zhijun happy. But at this moment, all of her hopes and dreams were gone.


    As Mei Hong cried, she took them back one by one. Fear and unwillingness filled her heart.


    Fang Zhijun had clearly become a general in his previous life, so how did he become a wanted criminal? Could it be that Fang Zhijun would only be able to achieve great things when he was together with Zheng Qi, and would only be able to become a prisoner when he was together with her?


    At this point, Mei Hong had to admit that the Zheng Family was the main reason why Fang Zhijun had such great achievements in his previous life. Otherwise, a poor kid from the countryside like him would not have been able to become a general no matter how strong he was in these peaceful times.


    However, she was still unwilling. She spent so much money and energy on Fang Zhijun, but in the end, it all came to naught. No matter how unwilling she was, there was nothing she could do about it.


    She shouldn''t have followed Fang Zhijun when he was going to the wooden house to see Zheng Qi. If she hadn''t been there, she would have been able to take care of herself now. Why did she need to be afraid of being caught by the police as an accomplice?


    If she could get through this, she would definitely be far away from Fang Zhijun. Relying on the memories of her past life, she could live a good life by herself, and through this, she already knew that she shouldn''t be so greedy. Her fame and fortune that did not belong to her was not her own.


    77 went according to the address Mei Hong mentioned, only to find that this was actually a rubbish dump. Now that the sun was setting in the west, there was a mountain of rubbish inside, and people could hide themselves everywhere. If they went in this way, not only would they not be able to find anyone, but they might even expose themselves to Fang Zhijun''s attack range.


    Although she was on par with Fang Zhijun, one was in the light while the other was in the dark. Furthermore, Fang Zhijun might have a weapon in his hand, so she didn''t want to take such a risk unless it was absolutely necessary.


    Mu Chen had been accompanying seven or seven people along the way. When he was driving over here, he had already received news that Li Chen and the others had been successfully apprehended and that the small restaurant that was used as a drug dealer''s lair had also been sealed.


    "This place is too dangerous, I don''t recommend you enter. Rather than taking this risk, why don''t you arrange it properly before slowly plotting it?"


    How could she not understand this? Even before one minute, her thoughts were the same as Mu Chen''s, but getting Fang Zhijun to leave the army and not become a black sheep was the original owner''s wish. If this time Fang Zhijun was lucky enough to escape, with Fang Zhijun''s current situation, he would definitely take the risk and harm the masses in the end.


    After weighing the pros and cons, Qi Qi still decided to enter. Today, no matter what, she had to bring Fang Zhijun to justice.


    When Mu Chen saw her determination, he didn''t say anything more and silently protected her behind him.


    As soon as Qi Qi Qi and Mu Chen got off the car, Fang Zhijun had already seen them. It was just that he only had one bullet left in his gun, so he didn''t dare to act rashly.


    Originally, Fang Zhijun had only guessed that Mu Chen and Zheng Qi might have a problem since they were so easily taken care of. However, after seeing them chase after him, Fang Zhijun was sure that his guess was right.


    Women were indeed unreliable. He had placed his last hope on Mei Hong, but that woman had chosen to betray him in times of danger. The woman he had always longed for was now chasing after his life with other men.


    Fang Zhijun had never hated women as much as he hated them at this moment. Trembling, he picked up his gun and pointed it at Zheng Qi. Since he could not escape death, he would make Zheng Qi accompany him to hell.


    Although she still maintained a high level of vigilance towards the surroundings, it was still hard to use both hands, and her vision was currently not good, so at this moment she did not notice that there was a black gun pointed at her head.


    When she heard the gunshot, she immediately looked towards the source of the sound. However, all she could do was watch helplessly as the bullet pierced through the wind while she lost the best time to dodge.


    Just when Qi Qi Qi thought that this time''s mission would end in failure, suddenly, her vision went black. She was pushed back with all her might, her back smashed into the ground, and her body was also pressed down by a heavy body.


    "Are you okay?" Mu Chen''s concerned voice sounded from above, and Qi Seventh shook his head, indicating that he was fine.


    "When I saved you just now, I seemed to have twisted my leg a little too much. I''m afraid I can''t catch up to Fang Zhijun now. If you have nothing else to do, then hurry up and chase after him. Don''t let him escape. As Mu Chen spoke, he propped up his body and sat to the side, making room for Qi Hua to turn around.


    Qi Qi took a close look at Mu Chen, saw that his face was unaffected, and did not doubt him. He warned him to be careful, and immediately stood up and ran towards the place where the gunshot had come from.


    It was only when he could no longer see his figure that Mu Chen slumped to the ground. His originally normal face had become pale at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye, and the ground that he was lying on was slowly being soaked through with blood. Even in such a dark night, his face was still red.


    "Looks like I have to leave this time. Goodbye, little girl!" As he finished speaking, Mu Chen''s eyes dimmed, no longer losing their original brilliance.


    Qi Qi Qi once again opened her eyes and looked at the familiar office. She was stunned for a long time, then she seemed to recall something. She closed her eyes, pressed her hands to her temples, and desperately searched her mind for relevant information.


    He was the eldest grandson of the Mu family and was a hidden special agent. During the completion of the original owner''s mission, she worked together with him, and in the end, when they were chasing after Fang Zhijun, he met with an accident to save her.


    She wasn''t sure if he was dead, she only knew that when she caught Fang Zhijun and brought him back to his original place to see how his foot wound was, the place where he had been sitting was already empty. There was only a pool of dark red blood.


    Worried that something would happen to him, she immediately went to the Mu family. She wanted to borrow the Mu family''s power to find someone, but the Mu family''s couple were at a loss when they heard her cry for help. They said that there was no one called Mu Chen in their family.


    Although she had not interacted with any other members of the Mu family while she was working with Mu Chen, she was certain that Mu Chen wasn''t faked. The original owner''s memories did indeed contain this person.


    She had no choice but to return to the police force and continue interrogating Li Chen''s group. Since Mu Chen was able to mobilize the police force, it meant that the people in the police force knew who Mu Chen was.


    However, when she anxiously explained to the person in charge of the arrest that Mu Chen might be in danger, the person in charge revealed the exact same blank look as the Mu family couple, then immediately looked at her with a pitying gaze, and said with a serious tone: "Miss Zheng, the pressure on your heart before capturing your fianc¨¦ might be too great. You should go back and rest, this mission is very successful, we will follow up the interrogation later and report back to you immediately if anything happens."


    She might think it was a joke if no one remembered her, but it was weird that no one remembered her. She immediately thought of her mother''s repeated exhortations, telling her to stay away from Mu Chen. That meant that her mother definitely knew who he was.


    This was too strange, and before she could think too much, she had already driven home. However, when she asked if her mother still remembered Mu Chen, she was met with a question from her mother. She carefully observed her mother''s expression, but it didn''t seem like she was lying.


    For a moment, she really wondered if she was under too much pressure to hallucinate.


    When she returned to her room and laid down on her bed, she repeated memories of her interactions with Mu Chen bit by bit. These memories were clearly imprinted in her memory, why did a person''s existence suddenly be wiped clean, only she remembered, while no one else seemed to have seen this person before?


    Qi Qi was not willing to give up. That night, she returned to the dumpster where the incident occurred, but when she stood back at the place with the blood stain, she did not see anything. Even the original blood stain was gone.


    Standing in the dark night, the cold night breeze blew by her ears one after another. She felt her mind go blank for a moment. What was going on? She subconsciously reached out to brush away her hair, but she suddenly felt a hard object.


    Ear nail. This is the earring that Mu Chen gave her. That''s right, there must be some images of Mu Chen in it.


    Thinking of this, Qi Qi rushed back to the police station without stopping. Facing the question from the police chief, she didn''t explain anything and just repeatedly asked if she could take a look at the information on the screen.


    Helpless, the person in charge had to give her a copy of the video.

 C73

    Qi Qi took the video back home and shut herself in her room, her eyes wide open, unwilling to let go of even the slightest detail. But even if she looked at the video until her eyes were bloodshot, and watched it over and over again ten times, she could not find Mu Chen. In her memory, the scene of her looking at Mu Chen had been replaced by air.


    No, it really was nothing. How could it be that a perfectly fine person disappeared just like that?


    Qi Qi sat blankly on the ground until night fell and the sunlight shone in through the window before she slowly closed her eyes. She wanted to avoid the dazzling sunlight, so she touched her face, but tears were already streaming down her face.


    No one remembered Mu Chen anymore, it was as if he didn''t exist, but Qi Qi Qi knew that this person had existed before. Although he seemed to be smiling, his gaze was sometimes so deep that it was hard to see through. He would always silently accompany her by her side, giving her advice and giving her support, and with him by her side, she would always feel indescribably at ease.


    For a long time after that, she had expected him to appear again, just as suddenly as he had appeared before her, and when she looked up she saw him running ahead of her, leaving her only the back of her head, saying in a rascally voice, "What? "Miss Zheng, are you still in the mood to jog here today?"


    However, even after her 77th birthday passed, she still did not see Mu Chen again. Although she had stayed in the Mission World for so many years, she still remembered a person called Mu Chen appearing.


    Qi Qi opened her eyes helplessly. No matter how she searched, she could not find the answer to that question. There were no records of similar incidents in the company''s knowledge base.


    Just when Qi Qi Qi was having a headache, the reward for this mission appeared on the wall in front of her.


    The task was successfully completed and the reward was 5000 spirit coins. In addition, the reward exceeded the customer''s expectations and the reward was 5000 spirit coins. The reward was that the task was successfully completed and the customer was able to defeat the drug trafficking gang and, in the days to come, engage in the secret service and successfully suppress the crime in the range. The reward was another 5000 spirit coins.


    This time, the rewards were even greater than the previous times, but Qi Qi Qi couldn''t be happy. If possible, she wanted to use these rewards to exchange for an answer. She wanted to know what exactly was going on with Mu Chen.


    Before he could let his imagination run wild, a delicate and pretty young woman jumped out from the wall.


    Qi Qi gathered her thoughts as a standard smile appeared on her lips.


    "Hello, I''m 77. What can I do for you?"


    This young woman seemed to be having a hard time speaking. A hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but then it seemed to have occurred to her, and she quickly became firm again.


    "I want revenge!"


    "Sure, as long as you are willing to pay the price, I will wholeheartedly serve you." Qi Qi Jian continued to smile. This kind of innocent looking little girl was using a huffing and puffing tone to say that she wanted to take revenge. No matter how one looked at this scene, this little girl seemed to be in high spirits.


    "I... I am willing to pay any price! "


    Qi Qi saw the trace of fear in the little girl''s eyes and kindly stated again, "Do you know what the so-called price is?"


    The little girl didn''t say anything, she only bit her lips and nodded.


    "Are you sure that your so-called revenge is worth your soul as an offering?"


    The little girl once again hesitated, but in the end, she still nodded her head.


    Qi Qi had already reminded her once, and since this little girl still insisted, then there was no point in trying to persuade her. Qi Qi Qi said no more, and only politely replied, "Alright, I''ll take over your trust."


    Before the little girl turned around, she worriedly said, "I want my cousin to have a bad reputation too. I want her to have a taste of being slandered and have a difficult time speaking."


    Qi Qi raised her eyebrows and promised once again, "Alright, I promise you."


    The little girl''s figure faded and the life of this girl appeared on the wall. Actually, compared to most people, this girl was already considered happy. However, it was because she lived in a happy family and was cared for too well by her parents that she lacked the ability to fight back.


    She was born in a high-class intellectual family. Her parents were both university professors, and after graduating from high school, she went overseas to study at a university. Her life could be said to have been very smooth sailing.


    Her only problem was that she had met a top quality cousin. Although Miao Qiqi''s father was living a good life, he did not have a wealthy family when he was young. He was born in the countryside, had four siblings, and had an older brother.


    Uncle Miao was not as promising as his younger brother and did not like to read books. Naturally, he grew up in the countryside, and after the marriage, he opened a small shop and started a small business. Although his life was not rich, it was still okay.


    It wasn''t easy to get a free summer, so he let his daughter go back to her hometown to live for a while. One of the reasons was to breathe the fresh air of the countryside and relax, the other was because since birth, he hadn''t seen much of his seniors, so he could spend some time with his grandparents on this trip home.


    Because her parents still had work to do and couldn''t get out of it, she packed her luggage and went back to her hometown alone. The elders were especially enthusiastic to see her since she was, after all, an unusual member of the younger generation.


    Uncle Miao also warned his daughter, who had been working in society for several years, to take her cousin out to play more often.


    At the beginning, Seventh Madame''s cousin, Miao Yuqi, was also very friendly towards her and offered to treat her to a meal. Seventh Sister wanted to get closer to her, so she went, but who knew?


    She had seen her cousin''s boyfriend before, and he treated her very sincerely. The only time they had met was to leave a good impression on Qi Qi Qi. Her cousin had openly talked to Bei Tai in front of her.


    After that, his cousin made several appointments under various pretexts, and every time he saw the spare tire, and after a few visits, he understood his cousin''s purpose in treating him to a meal. She wanted him to cover for her, so he refused to make the appointment after that.


    If it was anyone else, they would have already separated from this person. However, this person was her cousin; not only could she not separate them from each other, she could not reveal anything to anyone, or else they would be the ones to ruin their relationship. Her parents would not be able to face them in the future.


    Perhaps it was because she felt Caiqi''s coldness, but Miao Yuqi didn''t show it on her face. However, she didn''t ask her out again after that.


    If the relationship between the two of them continued like this, then there would be nothing to do. However, Miao Yuqi was a petty person. Because of Qi Qi''s indifference, she had long hated Mu Ru Yue.


    In the past few days, when he and Miao Yuqi had been out, they had always eaten spicy and oily food. When she had been at home, her appetite had been light. Now, however, she could no longer bear it anymore.


    One day, while she was in bed playing games, her grandmother came in and asked her what she wanted to eat, and she thought, since it''s her mother''s house, there''s no need to be polite, so she just told her grandmother that her stomach isn''t feeling well and she doesn''t want to eat anything.


    Grandma told him to rest well. She went to boil some digestible vegetable porridge for him. At that time, his grandma''s expression was normal.


    But who would have thought that not long after, Grandma came in again and mysteriously closed the door to her room. She then sat on the bed, looking like she wanted to start a conversation.


    In front of the elders, Qi Qi Qi naturally couldn''t just lie there like this, so she sat up and asked what was the matter with her grandmother.


    Unexpectedly, after hesitating for a while, she asked, "7/7, do you think the rice that Grandmother cooks is not tasty? That''s why you didn''t eat it?"


    Qi Qi Qi was confused by the question and did not know what was going on, so she quickly explained, "Grandma, it''s really not like that. I''m really sick to my stomach, I get weak when I spank. In the past, my stomach was often uncomfortable at home, and I really like Grandma''s cooking, so how could I turn my back on it?"


    When Grandma heard this, she carefully looked at Qi Qi Qi''s expression. Seeing her sincere face, she smiled in relief. She stood up and walked outside, saying, "Grandma only knows Qi Qi Qi is a good kid, how could she avoid grandmother? "Your cousin is blabbering, saying that you went out with her a few days ago, got used to the big fish and the big meat outside, and didn''t like the dishes that Grandmother cooked. She''s pretending not to eat at all.


    The old man was careless and directly sold Miao Yuqi out.


    When Qi Qi heard this, she gritted her teeth so hard they hurt. Since she was young, she had always lived in a well-bred environment and had never been talked about behind her back before.


    She wanted to rush out and explain the situation to Miao Yuqi, but when she thought of her uncle''s honest smile, she withdrew her foot. If she rushed out like that, that would make her uncle''s face turn ugly.


    Therefore, she took her phone from the bedside table and sent a text message to ask Miao Yuqi what exactly she meant.


    Unexpectedly, Miao Yuqi boldly replied, "I''ve long disliked you acting all day for me, and you even have a stomachache. Aren''t you watching too many of these portraits? Why didn''t you tell me you had leukemia?"


    He thought for a long time and came up with a vulgar phrase to retort back, "F * ck you! Who is the one who is trying to act cool?! "Why are you treating yourself like a dish? Who would have the time to pretend with you?"


    After that, no one knew whether Miao Yuqi was angry or not, but there was no reply afterwards.


    However, at two o''clock that morning, everyone fell asleep. Miao Yuqi knocked on the door and woke everyone up. Miao Qiqi was afraid that her grandparents might be old enough to knock on the door, so she ran to open it herself.


    However, she didn''t expect that the moment the door opened, Miao Yuqi would rush in and slap her in the face. After completely stunning 7 or 7 times, she continued to curse madly and beat people up. Luckily, her grandpa came out and stopped her.


    Qi Qi Qi was a young girl who had just graduated from high school. Since childhood, she had never experienced such a scene. After being beaten up, she didn''t even know how to retaliate, and could only cry helplessly.


    Later, when Mr and Mrs Miao, who were in the city, heard of it and came back on purpose, Uncle Miao felt particularly embarrassed. He set up a banquet and said that he wanted to apologize.


    This story was modified from the true experience of an netizen. Naturally, it was limited to the part where one was angered to death. Don''t blame the netizens for being angered to death later on. They were still living a very blissful life.

    However, at the dinner table, Miao Yuqi didn''t even bother apologizing. Instead, she insisted that since you were so young, I should teach you a lesson.


    He almost couldn''t eat a proper meal. In the end, on account of his uncle''s sincere apology, he decided to forget about it.


    After that, Qi Qi returned to the city. Originally, she had planned to spend her summer vacation in her hometown. Now, it had only been a week before she returned home.


    After almost half a year, Qi Qi had transferred overseas, rarely returning home. Only after a year did she return home to accompany Mr and Mrs Miao back home for the Spring Festival.


    Because of what had happened previously, when they had just met, Seventh Seven was feeling a little awkward, but Miao Yuqi was still doing fine as she pulled Seventh Seven along while chatting happily. All this while, she had been asking her how her life abroad was, whether it was really like everyone had said, that the air was good and the welfare good.


    After a year and a half, Miao Yuqi had already gotten married and married to her previous boyfriend. It was unknown if it was because she was concealing the reason behind her cousin''s previous infidelity, but she felt guilty. Every time she faced this simple and honest brother-in-law, she felt a little awkward.


    Although it was a little awkward, it was undeniable that her life with her cousin was very peaceful in the beginning. However, Qi Qi didn''t expect that all of this was just a facade. This cousin of hers was like a dog that couldn''t stop itself from eating sh * t.


    One time, when she was chatting with Miao Yuqi, Qi Qi suddenly felt a bloating pain in her lower abdomen. Looking at the time, she knew that it must be Big Aunt. Since they were both women, Qi Qi Qi didn''t hide anything and took some cotton swabs from her luggage and entered the bathroom.


    When she came out, she saw Miao Yuqi flipping and turning the cotton swabs in her hands. 77 thought her cousin was curious about the product because she didn''t usually use the swab, so she patiently explained how to use it.


    "This virgin can use it? Can''t you break it? " Miao Yuqi widened her eyes in disbelief.


    Then, he thought of something, and his face immediately turned ugly. "Qi Qi, do you have a boyfriend abroad? You''re still young, so you can''t be reckless."


    Qi Qi immediately realized that her cousin had misunderstood, and quickly clarified that she still did not have a boyfriend, and was always clean and did not act recklessly. She also explained in detail that this cotton swab could be used by virgins, and would not break the hymen.


    Miao Yuqi was still holding onto a piece of cotton in her hands, but she still didn''t believe him. However, she didn''t say anything. Later on, they would talk about other topics, so naturally, she overturned the matter.


    This was a very common occurrence, and Qi Qi didn''t take it seriously at all. However, she didn''t expect that her grandfather would angrily come in from outside that afternoon and raise his hand towards her. Fortunately, her grandma was there to stop him in time.


    The old man was clearly furious. Even though his grandmother stopped him from slapping her, his finger was still trembling as he pointed at Caiqi, resentfully saying, "Our old Miao Family has never had such a shameless granddaughter before. Your parents have worked so hard to send you abroad to study, and they didn''t tell you to mess around with those weird men. How are you going to find your family in the future if you don''t love yourself so much?"


    Qi Qi Qi was confused. What and what?


    "Old man, what do you mean? "Qi Qi is such a good kid, why is he talking about this?" Grandma was also confused and confused.


    "If it wasn''t for that girl Yu Qi telling me about it, I wouldn''t have known that such a despicable thing had appeared in our old Miao Family, sleeping with a man at such a young age. Don''t you think it would be shameful if word of this got out?"


    The more Grandpa Miao spoke, the angrier he got. As he spoke, he stood up and was about to greet Qi Qi again.


    This time, Grandma Miao didn''t stop Grandpa Miao. She didn''t expect the old man to move so quickly. He was unable to dodge in time and got a fierce hit on his back.


    Grandpa Miao had been working as a farmer since he was young. Even at his age, he was still a man of great strength. His hands were so strong that they almost deflected seven to seven strikes.


    He was angry and in pain as he tried to defend himself, feeling wronged. "Grandfather, I really didn''t do this. Miao Yuqi is blabbering nonsense. Why didn''t you even ask me? Why did you assume that I was in the wrong?"


    "Yuqi is indeed unreliable, but it''s such a big thing, how could she have the guts to spout nonsense? You should be clear about whether or not you did it yourself." Although Grandpa Miao knew that Miao Yuqi''s character wasn''t good, Qi Qi did not interact much with him after all. Furthermore, this matter was too big for him to trust.


    He could clearly see the disappointment in her eyes. A strong sense of grievance welled up within him, and he couldn''t help but burst into tears. As he cried, he tried to prove his innocence, "I really never did such a thing. I didn''t lie."


    Qi Qi forced herself to calm down and wiped the tears off her face. Before Grandpa Miao and Granny Miao could stop her, she had already ran out of the house and ran towards Miao Yuqi''s. She wanted to ask her what had offended her and why she was slandering her.


    But when Qi Qi arrived at Miao''s house, she hid in her room and refused to come out. The doorbell rang for more than ten minutes, but she pretended not to hear it. Qi Qi knew that she was definitely at home, and if the doorbell didn''t work, she would smash it with her hand, kick it, and make a ruckus.


    Before she could even ask, Miao Yuqi had already started crying. She sat down on the ground with a wronged look on her face as she cried, "Qi Qi Qi, you really make me heartbroken. How could you be so ungrateful? Second uncle and second aunt worked so hard to make money for you to study abroad. It''s fine if you don''t study, but you were also sent abroad every day. You advised me not to listen, and that''s why I let you talk to me properly. But who would have thought that not only did you not listen, you even came to scold me."


    Qi Qi Qi was so shocked that she couldn''t say a word. She looked around and saw these strangers surrounding her, pointing at her and feeling a rush of blood, the world spinning around her, and she almost fell down. At this moment, she finally believed that people would die from anger.


    In a fit of rage, Qi Qi Qi''s mind went blank as she rushed forward and started hitting Miao Yuqi head on the head. But she was just an eighteen year old girl, how could she be a mom''s opponent? She was pressed down under Miao Yuqi''s body and couldn''t move even after a few hits.


    Miao Yuqi flung her arms away as she sent a slap towards Qi Qi Qi, grumbling, "You''re so shameless and disrespectful! I''m at least 9 years older than you and your cousin. How dare you hit me! Today, I''ll teach you how to be a good person on behalf of your parents!"


    Qi Qi Qi was injured countless times, and the surrounding people kept pointing and pointing at them, but no one came up to stop them.


    In the end, it was Mr and Mrs Miao who rushed over after hearing the news and forcefully pushed the two of them away.


    They were also infuriated, but they had no evidence to prove their daughter''s innocence. They couldn''t possibly let their daughter go to the hospital to have a virgin proof, and even if they did, no one would be able to control the public''s opinions. They couldn''t guarantee that others would say that they were artificially guilty of using such proof.


    Mother Miao was so angry that she wanted to chase after Miao Yuqi and teach her a lesson. She wanted to ask this niece of hers just what had offended her in the end. Why did she want to create such a rumor?


    However, years of education and reason had stopped her. Now that this matter had stirred up such an uproar, if she came knocking again, it would only make it even more of a joke, and then, Qi Qi Qi''s reputation would really be ruined.


    Mr Miao could not hold his old man accountable for his mischievous ways of teaching his daughter, much less scold a junior into swearing. There was no need to mention how aggrieved he was.


    He sat alone in the living room, listening to his wife comforting her crying daughter. For the whole night, the family of three didn''t sleep at all.


    In the past, it would never have happened. Before he left, Mr Miao told his family in front of them, "My daughter has not done anything shameful. I know in my heart that I will not pursue this matter today, not because I feel guilty, but because I am still thinking about our family''s love."


    It was only then that he continued in a clear voice, "Yu Qi, Second Uncle doesn''t feel sorry for you. I don''t understand why you chose to hurt Seventh Uncle twice, but Second Uncle finally told you that this is the last time I will tolerate such a thing happening to you. When that happens, we''ll meet in court, and at that time, don''t blame me for not caring about our relatives.


    Uncle Miao''s face turned red from what his younger brother had said, but he didn''t know how to apologize. He knew his daughter best, and he could guess why his own daughter kept going against Cousin Qi over and over again. But at this point, his second brother had already separated from him. It was useless for him to explain.


    Thus, Uncle Miao just lowered his head and continued to smoke his cigarette.


    After her daughter had been warned like this, even though she knew she was in the wrong, Uncle Miao''s wife still felt that she had been bullied.


    The corner of her mouth twisted, letting out a snort from her nose, "Don''t be so righteous, only she knows what that girl Qi Qi has done abroad. You''re all in the country, you know nothing, we, Yu Qi, taught our cousin out of good intentions, but we didn''t expect her to be raked over."


    A hint of embarrassment and anger flashed across Uncle Miao''s face when he heard this. He slammed his hand heavily on the table and shouted in a deep voice, "Enough! Do you have the right to speak here?" If you''re too free, go to the kitchen and cook. "


    Although Uncle Miao usually didn''t talk much in the family, Miao Yuqi and her mother were still afraid of him putting on the airs of a family head.


    Miao Yuqi pulled her mother''s hand and signaled her with her eyes. It was best for her to hurry up and leave.


    Mr and Mrs Miao watched the duo''s behavior with cold eyes. They did not say anything, but their expressions were extremely unsightly.

 C75

    "Second Bro, I was too impulsive on this matter. I caused Seventh Brother to suffer before asking any questions. I know you guys are resentful, but it''s New Year''s, so you should just stay at home."


    When Grandpa Miao saw that a perfectly fine young man had been tormented to such an extent, he felt upset. He shouted hoarsely in his throat, trying to persuade Father Miao.


    Mr Miao glanced at the silent 7-Seven, who was sitting to one side, and at his wife, who was frowning and staring coldly at him. Although he could not bear to see his father celebrate the new year, he still shook his head.


    "Sigh ~ ~ ~ Forget it." Ignoring the fact that Grandma Miao wanted to keep her son and his family, Grandpa Miao brushed her hand away from his waist and apologized gently to Qi Qi, "Qi Qi, it''s my grandparents'' fault for letting you suffer. We''ll teach your cousin a good lesson, so don''t take it to heart."


    Grandpa Miao''s words made it clear that he was standing on Miao Yuqi''s side. They didn''t even want Miao Yuqi to apologize to him, and they even treated her like an outsider. Could it be that just because she had grown up with them, she wasn''t their granddaughter? Could it be that no matter what Miao Yuqi did, she could be easily forgiven? Even if she hadn''t done it, was she going to be scolded for the slander of others?


    He couldn''t suppress his anger any longer, so he raised his head, straightened his neck, and said stubbornly, "Grandpa, Miao Yuqi slandered me like that. Shouldn''t you apologize to me?" From start to finish, she didn''t say a single word of apology. "


    When Grandpa Miao and Granny Miao heard those words, they could not help but frown. They felt that this granddaughter of theirs was insensible. Even though her seniors had said that, she still insisted on having them apologize.


    Before they could even open their mouths to speak, Miao Shiqi, who was originally in the kitchen, rushed out, pointed at Qi Qi Qi, and clamored, "Miao Qi, don''t be so shameless, I didn''t say anything for Second Uncle''s sake, Second Aunt''s sake. What kind of trash are you? You know clearly, if you haven''t been taken advantage of by a man, you will use cotton swabs, and that thing will be stuck in there!"


    "Miao Yuqi, do you have any common sense?" Miao Yuqi, do you have any common sense? Did I tell you before that even a virgin can use cotton swabs? It''s just that a person''s living habits are different, so why are you saying that I''m messing around outside because of this!? "


    Seeing that the two sisters were about to argue again, Mr Miao quickly pulled seven to seven behind him. He didn''t want his daughter to suffer any more losses.


    "Dad, you saw it too. It''s not that we don''t want to celebrate New Year at home, it''s just that we can''t stay at home. Sorry, we can''t accompany you this year."


    Having said so, Mr Miao turned around and stared coldly at Miao Yuqi. He was an elder and shouldn''t bother arguing with the younger generation. However, now that his daughter had been slandered, he no longer had any good feelings towards Miao Yuqi.


    "Second brother, your words are meaningless. What do you mean you don''t want to leave? Is there someone forcing you to leave? If you have a higher status, then just say so. Don''t worry, no one will say that you are ungrateful."


    Miao Yuqi''s mother, Chen Daxin, was squinting her eyes. Her nose was not her nose, and her eyes were not her eyes. She was saying the opposite.


    "Do you even have a reason for this? It''s not good for us to get involved as seniors, so even though Qi Qi Qi has suffered so much, we didn''t ask for a clear apology from her. But as a mother, shouldn''t you set a good example for her? And you''re even leading the way to stir up trouble! "


    Mrs Miao looked disbelievingly at Chen Daxin. She stood up and looked sharply at the mother and daughter pair. Although she usually treated people kindly, it didn''t mean that she would continue to endure even if she suffered a loss.


    "Aiya ~ ~ ~ This isn''t going to work anymore, do you still have any children in this family who are superior to others? As sister-in-law, you actually dare to speak so softly to your sister-in-law. This is exactly what Liang Wangwei taught a shameless bastard ~ ~" Chen Dazhi sat on the ground and howled as he bitterly slapped the floor.


    Chen Daxin''s appearance stunned the entire family. They had never seen someone act so atrociously before. They thought it was just an exaggerated scene from a TV show. They really didn''t expect that someone in real life would actually do such a thing.


    "I can see that ~ Your whole family is ungrateful. Back then, it was my man who was thrifty and found the money from his mouth to let you study. It was not bad that he finally managed to bring out a university student, not only did he not support his parents for so many years, but in the end, he even forced your eldest brother, sister-in-law who was as grateful as a mountain, to death ~ ~"


    Mr Miao''s face turned uglier and uglier as Chen Daxing cried. He looked up at his elder brother, who had his head lowered without saying a word. His lips moved a few times, but in the end could only let out a heavy sigh.


    Mr Miao was willing to give face to his big brother and not make a fuss, but Mrs Miao could not tolerate it any longer.


    She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down before retorting, "Sister-in-law, I''ll call you Sister-in-law. I hope you''ll behave like a Sister-in-law as well. You have to say that our family is ungrateful, alright!?" "Then I''ll have a good talk with you."


    Looking at the expression on Mrs Miao''s face, Miao Qiqi felt a burst of excitement in his heart. As long as his mother showed this expression, it meant that someone was going to suffer misfortune. It was obvious that the person who was going to suffer misfortune was this unreasonable aunt of his.


    It''s true that Big Brother was helping Seventh Seven and her dad to study, but we also took care of Big Brother''s feelings for her, but do you remember that after Big Brother supported her for an entire semester, you married into our school, and you wouldn''t let Big Brother pay you anymore, and said that you were such a big person, and even asked Big Brother for more money, so you lost a lot of face. Seventh Brother''s dad didn''t want to make things difficult for our Big Brother, so he almost dropped out of school.


    At this point, Mrs Miao''s eyes reddened. Back then, she and Mr Miao were classmates. She had noticed all of his hardships.


    Grandpa Miao, Granny Miao and Eldest Uncle obviously did not know about this. When they heard what he said, their hearts trembled and their gazes towards Chen Daxin became much more unfriendly. After all, this was their own son, their blood brother.


    When Chen Dazqin heard this, she could not help but feel guilty. She carefully looked at her father-in-law''s face and explained in a low voice, "I am the one who asked him to sell his blood."


    "Yes, you didn''t make him sell his blood. Every time he came home, you would mock him and say that he was a white-haired young man without much ambition. He could even afford to owe others money and sleep peacefully."


    "You really did this back then?!" Uncle Miao looked at his wife with disbelief. He knew that she was a petty person who loved to quibble. However, he never expected her to give his brother-in-law such a look when she was still a newlyweds.


    The sixth fragment of the night had arrived. Although it is a bit late, it will be given as promised.


    "I... I did it for this family! "It looks like we won''t be able to eat any more, but he''s already too old to help out his family, and he only knows how to be free and leisurely outside. How could I stand to watch too much?"


    "You ¡­ "You ¡­" Uncle Miao was so angry that he couldn''t say a complete sentence. He could only hate himself for having such a daughter-in-law. He nearly gave his brother a hard time that year.


    "Chen Da Qin, tell me, was it really this difficult for our family back then?" I need you to force my son to sell his blood to pay for it!? " If she had a knife in her hand, she would have stabbed it into her chest already. Before Chen Daxin could open her mouth, Granny Miao continued to ask, "Back then, you were married into the family, yes, the family wasn''t very rich, but we gave you everything that should be given. You guys ate a lot, and you didn''t lack anything to wear, so why are you forcing my son?"


    As she asked, Granny Miao choked on her words and covered the corners of her eyes with her sleeve as she sobbed.


    Upon closer inspection, one could see that Grandpa Miao''s hand was slightly trembling as he held the cigarette. This was the most promising son of their old Miao Family, and he had always thought that this son of his was living a good life at home. Unexpectedly, in a place that he did not know about, his sister-in-law had forced him to do so.


    "Back then, why didn''t you say anything? If you were to speak of it again, how would we, your parents, have let you suffer such grievances?"


    "Dad, everything''s over. Don''t be sad mom and me. We have a good time at home. No matter what happens to the others, we are still brothers."


    Although Mr Miao did not say the reason, his words'' home and everything goes well ''made everything clear.


    Seeing that the atmosphere in the living room had become completely depressing, Mrs Miao did not intend to let it go. "Dad, mom, brother, the reason why I brought up this old story is not to complain about the grievances, nor to make the two elders sad. No matter how great the grievances are, it has already passed. Sister-in-law said we didn''t care for our parents, yes, because of work, my father and I couldn''t go home often, but once the holidays came, we did our best to come back. Although the money didn''t mean anything, but we also sent back 6000 yuan a month.


    "What?!" You send six thousand dollars a month? " She knew that her second son would provide her with old money every month, but they only had two thousand. Where did he get the six thousand? If the second daughter-in-law didn''t lie, then the person who took the money for them was the one who was in trouble. It was this eldest daughter-in-law who was collecting money every month!


    When Chen Dazqin heard this, she knew things weren''t good. While Mrs Miao was speaking, she had already stealthily stood up, preparing to slip away when no one was looking. However, she was still a step too late.


    "Chen Da Qin, stop right there. Tell me what happened?"


    "I... "I ¡­" After a long time, Chen Daxin still could not come up with a good excuse, and facing the angry gazes of the crowd, she simply broke down, "Yuqi''s dad and I usually do petty business, life is always tough, Second Brother is rich, so what if they borrow money from him? Besides, they just give him the money, and we are the servants of the Second Elder, so this money is hard money, and it''s not wrong!"

 C76

    "You actually dare to take the money that your parents stole from you for your retirement? Tell me, after so many years, where did all that money you stole go? Hurry up and return it to your parents! " He knew that he had to find out where the money was first. The second brother had given him the pension for almost twenty years, and even though it wasn''t that much at the start, but after so many years, it still had to be five or six hundred thousand yuan. This was not a small amount.


    "Also ¡­" I won''t be able to return it ¡­ It''s all used up. " Chen Da Qin stammered.


    "What!?" "What do you mean you''ve used up all your money? Where did you spend all that money?" Uncle Chen could not believe his eyes. He had not seen a single cent. Even if he did not run the store normally, if he spent that much money, he should have noticed it as well!


    "Isn''t it all because you are incapable? You are such a big girl, yet you want to find a job and not spend any money?" You don''t need to spend money just to dress up? No money for marriage? You don''t need to spend money to have children? " Seemingly having found an excuse, Chen Daxin instantly asked Uncle Miao about it. After a series of questions, Uncle Miao was at a loss for words.


    "What''s with the pot and what''s with the lid? Our family will provide whatever conditions are needed on Yinqi. You have to make a fool of yourself to make a fool of yourself!" Even though Uncle Miao felt a little guilty and felt that he was too weak to have his wife do such a dishonest thing, he still had a sense of right and wrong.


    We are the granddaughters of the Miao Family, who is less than anyone else? They are rich, and for all these years they haven''t volunteered to help us. Since they won''t help us, then I''ll just take it myself! "


    Miao Qiqi had never seen such an unreasonable person before. Now, she finally knew where Miao Yuqi''s miraculous view of the world had come from.


    No matter how much effort they put in, they would reap a lot of rewards. They would be thinking about the things in other people''s bowls all day long, so they didn''t feel tired at all. Furthermore, this money was given to them by their parents, so it was reasonable for her to take away a large portion of it.


    "Sister-in-law, you have to rely on your conscience to speak. Haven''t we helped much in all these years? When you said that your big brother was old and did his work and wanted to open a grocery store to borrow money from us, we didn''t say anything and borrowed two hundred thousand yuan from you. Have we urged you? Even if all of you are doing well now, we still haven''t made you pay a single cent.


    "If I were to really help him, I wouldn''t have lent it to him and instead, gave it to him directly. However, he didn''t seem to be sincere in helping others. Who would have thought that he would do something like that!"


    She had completely given up on trying to reason with this woman. All those years ago, she knew that her sister-in-law''s character was not that good, but at least they still had a layer of skin on them. Now that she had completely ripped off this layer, she could finally see through it.


    "Dad, mom, that''s all we can say, you guys already know the truth. You guys might not know much about what kind of child Qi Qi Qi is, but I know my own daughter very well, and I don''t believe Qi Qi would do anything shameful. Since sister-in-law and Yuqi do not want to apologize, and do not think they are in the wrong, we have nothing to say, we will leave first, but, my words are right here, the debt we owe Big Bro for so many years has already been paid off, in the future, parents, big brother, if you have anything, come find us, we will do our duty, we will not miss a single cent, but that woman Chen Da Qin, and Miao Yu Qi, please forgive us for not getting lucky enough relatives, we will be passers-by from now on! "


    Mrs Miao happily left the call and pulled Mr Miao and Miao Qiqi out the door.


    Sitting behind her desk, Qi Qi made herself a cup of coffee while the story was still unimportant, but she had just taken a sip and was looking up to continue watching the family ethics play when something strange happened.


    The wall in front of him was blank. There were no more scenes to follow up!


    Qi Qi Jian was stunned for a moment. What was he trying to do? Could there be a problem with this storyline wall!? Miao Qiqi was angered to death, but he was not angered to death yet. How could the plot disappear like that?


    Now, Qi Qi didn''t even care about the freshly brewed coffee in her hand as she casually placed it on the table, then started looking for the buttons. Previously, the plots that appeared on the storyline wall had all automatically jumped out, and she had never pressed any buttons, much less seen the remote control, but at this moment, if the plot didn''t appear, she really couldn''t think of any other way besides finding the buttons.


    However, after searching for a long time, she was still unable to find anything. Qi Qi Qi was so anxious that her forehead was covered in sweat, and she was unable to receive any key details of the story. What happened after that! Only then would he be angered to death by a perfectly fine person?


    Qi Qi scratched her hair randomly, her scalp hurting, causing her to calm down a little. Since there was no remote control, was the storyline wall controlled by her brainwave?


    Thinking up to this point, Qi Qi Qi quickly sat back down on the chair, pressed both hands to her temples, and tried to concentrate, trying to reopen the storyline wall with her mind.


    After a while, Qi Qi opened her eyes again, and looked in the direction of the storyline wall with hope. However, something that made her collapse even more happened. She actually directly entered the quest world.


    Seeing the room decoration that appeared in the plot, Qi Qi immediately sat up on the soft bed, her heart was filled with incomparable madness, her throat itching as she wanted to shout out. But in the end, she could only grab the pillow on the bed and angrily punch it a few times, but she didn''t dare to make a sound.


    If she remembered correctly, this should be the time when Miao Qiqi had already told Miao Yuqi how to use the cotton swabs. It was likely that Grandpa Miao would come in later to interrogate her.


    Right now, there was no time for her to vent her anger on the company, nor to investigate why there was such a problem, so she had to think of a way to resolve the crisis.


    In the plot, even though Mrs Miao appeared in the end and brought up an old story, causing it to come to an end, Miao Qiqi did not completely lose out, but her reputation was really bad. In this world, although a woman''s reputation was not as important as it was in ancient times, but as a girl who was told that she was a man of all kinds of men abroad at the age of eighteen, what good could she do in the future?


    Although Septimus didn''t care about his reputation and never thought of marrying, he still cared quite a lot about this little girl. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have been angered to death and even used his soul as an offering to punish Miao Yuqi.


    Since she had accepted this mission, she naturally had to protect the rights and interests of Miao Caiqi.


    Miao Yuqi was someone who didn''t care about face. Otherwise, she wouldn''t have been able to make a scene like crying and making a ruckus in front of the left and right leaders. Chen Dazhi was even more of a scoundrel.


    As the saying goes, evil people needed to be humiliated by evil people. If Miao Yuqi could show her face, then she would have to go out even more. In the end, when Miao Qiqi died of anger, her analysis of the situation would be very humiliating.


    Just as Qi Qi Qi was thinking about her strategy, a knock sounded on the door. Qi Qi could not help but think to herself that the person standing outside the door was definitely Grandpa Miao. She had better make the first move.


    After getting off the bed and putting on his slippers, Qi Qi rubbed her eyes vigorously, causing her eyes to turn red. At a glance, she looked as if she had just cried.


    The moment the door was opened, the words that were on Grandpa Miao''s lips were swallowed back down his throat when he saw the reddened eyes of his grandson''s daughter.


    "Qi Qi, what''s going on?"


    "Grandfather, I said the wrong thing, I''ve offended my cousin. Before she left this morning, she even said to let me see, I really didn''t do it on purpose."


    Grandpa Miao couldn''t help but fall into a state of disarray when Qi Qi was crying. What was going on? How could there be a grudge between these two granddaughters of his? Then, from what he had heard from Yu Qi earlier, how much of what he had heard was true?


    "Don''t cry, tell grandpa what happened. If your cousin was in the wrong, I will definitely uphold justice for you."


    "I... I... If I were to tell the truth, my cousin would hate me. " Qi Qi Qi bit her lips with an extremely awkward expression, not knowing what to do.


    "It''s okay, how can a family be so serious. Don''t worry, Grandpa will promise you. Until now, I won''t tell anyone else. Grandpa will not make things difficult for you."


    The more Grandpa Miao hesitated, the more puzzled he became.


    "Then grandpa must keep his promise and not tell anyone else, or my cousin will really hate me to death." Qi Qi Qi looked at Grandpa Miao with a pleading expression as she repeatedly requested for a promise.


    Grandpa Miao nodded carelessly and pricked up his ears, waiting to hear what Qi Qi Qi was going to say next.


    "I... When I came back from breakfast this morning and saw my cousin and her ex-boyfriend meeting in the alley, we were still very close, so I called out in panic. When my cousin found out, she immediately pulled me home and warned me not to go out and speak nonsense, or else let me see, I''ve never seen my cousin look so fierce, and I''m scared! " Hmph, compared to rumors, who would be afraid of whom? Since Miao Yuqi was going to do this, she might as well return the favor. At any rate, Miao Yuqi did have a criminal record, so she wasn''t lying.


    "Former boyfriend?!" "Where did Yu Qi get her ex-boyfriend from? She only talked about Qi Qi from beginning to end. Did you see wrongly?"


    "Impossible, last year when I came back, I had dinner with them, and it was not only once, it was definitely not wrong, but it was weird, at that time, I also met with them once, I don''t know what kind of relationship they had at that time, hmm, by the way, at that time, my older cousin and my older cousin were definitely just friends, not lovers, probably because my older cousin broke up with her former boyfriend, then they were together." Qi Qi said with an innocent face, as if she was completely ignorant of the affairs of the world.


    He didn''t know, but he was very clear that last year, when Seventh Seven came back, Miao Yuqi had already discussed marriage with someone else, so how could she just be friends? Miao Yuqi clearly knew that she was a two-boat person, so it didn''t matter if they were married before or after. How long has it been since the wedding and the child has just been born? What would happen if the grandson-in-law found out about it? At that moment, Grandpa Miao didn''t bother with the words he had heard from Miao Yuqi as he turned and walked into the living room, picked up the phone, and dialed.


    Qi Qi stood at the door and heard Grandpa Miao whispering for Uncle Miao to hurry over. He brought Miao Yuqi along with him and reminded her not to let her son-in-law know.


    The fifth one today, oh, fish today hand speed, hahaha, come praise me!

 C77

    She knew that if Grandpa Miao knew about this, he would definitely cover this matter up tightly. In the end, she was a granddaughter who had grown up by her side, so she was completely considerate.


    She wasn''t worried at all about ruining Miao Yuqi''s marriage, but coming back, ruining it might be due to virtue. With Miao Yuqi''s restless personality, she might even be able to give an honest brother-in-law a green hat.


    However, unless it was absolutely necessary, she didn''t want to do such a wicked thing.


    It didn''t take long for Uncle Miao, Chen Daxin, and Miao Yuqi to arrive at Grandpa Miao''s house. The two families were originally close to each other, but now that the new year was approaching, the grocery store in Uncle Miao''s house didn''t have much business.


    "Dad, why did you call us so urgently?" Uncle Miao wiped the sweat off his forehead. Even though it was winter, he was still sweating profusely when he hurried over.


    "Yeah, dad, it''s almost the new year. There are still a lot of things to do at home. What''s so important that you have to bring us all here?" Chen Daxin was rather dissatisfied. She still had a bunch of things on her hands, and she couldn''t count on anyone to do the chores at home. If she delayed this, she would get up very late at night.


    "Please take a seat, I have something to ask Qi Qi."


    Grandpa Miao looked straight at his grandson and daughter, who were eating melon seeds on the sofa the moment they entered the door. He didn''t think so normally, but now that he saw her dressing, he couldn''t help but believe what she just said.


    How could a woman, who had just given birth to a child a few months ago, have dyed her hair and painted her nails? She was dressed up to such an extent ¡­ Who was going to see such a flashy show?


    Uncle Miao and Big Qin saw that their old man''s expression wasn''t right, so they didn''t dare to ask any further and sat down as instructed.


    Just as Grandpa Miao was about to speak, the door opened. It turned out to be Granny Miao, who had gone out to shop, and Mr and Mrs Miao, who had come back with a smile on their faces.


    When the three of them saw the atmosphere in the living room, they couldn''t help but frown in confusion.


    "What are you doing? Why are all of your expressions like this? " Grandma Miao asked as she placed the shopping bag on the cabinet.


    "You guys came at the right time, sit down. Today, I have something very important to ask her." Grandpa Miao pointed to the sofa on the left and gestured for his wife, his second son and their family to sit down.


    Although they didn''t quite understand what was going on, the three of them still obediently sat down. It could be seen that the old tutor had quite a bit of authority at home.


    Seeing the serious expression on her grandfather''s face, Miao Yuqi felt guilty. Could it be that her grandfather had found out that she was just spreading rumors that Miao Qi had messed around outside? But when she thought about it again, she wasn''t baseless. She could not be considered to be slandering him. Thus, she put her heart which she had just been worried about back into her stomach and calmly waited for Grandpa Miao to speak.


    "Yuqi, let me ask you, when you were with Lil ''Zhou, were you still involved with other men?"


    Soon, she came to realize that she was involved with other men and that there was no one else apart from Miao Qi. She was the one who had brought Miao Qi along to eat; one had brought her along to deceive people, and the other had noticed that this cousin of hers had a soft personality and wouldn''t go around gossiping. Unexpectedly, she had made a mistake.


    Miao Yuqi''s expression changed very quickly, but she was still unable to avoid Grandpa Miao''s gaze that was fixed on her. Grandpa Miao''s heart instantly turned cold, and when he asked this question, he still held onto a sliver of hope that all that 77 had said was false. But now, he knew that it was all probably true.


    Amongst the people present, aside from Old Man Miao, who knew the inside story, the rest of them had a baffled expression. They didn''t understand why the old man would suddenly ask such a question.


    "Dad, what are you saying, it''s as if we, Yu Qi, are water flowers. You''ve seen her grow up, you should know that we speak very obediently, from beginning to end she was only Little Zhou''s boyfriend. Now the two of us are husband and wife, how can we be related to other men?"


    Chen Daxin was the first to express her dissatisfaction. She was just this kind of daughter. Although her family wasn''t particularly good, she treated her daughter like a treasure. How could she allow others to talk about her precious daughter like that?


    "That''s right!" "Old man, you can''t speak carelessly about such baseless things. Although Yuqi is already married, and has children, and is better than those unmarried little girls, this woman''s reputation is still of the utmost importance." Hearing this, Granny Miao''s face was full of disapproval as well.


    "Yuqi, let bygones be bygones. But you''re already married and have children, so it''s good that Little Zhou treats you well. You can''t be distracted and do something that would let Little Zhou down."


    "Grandfather, where did you hear this rumor? What do you mean I''m obsessed? I married myself, but I have a good sense of security and haven''t done anything wrong." At first, Miao Yuqi still felt a little guilty, but when she heard that the old man had put this crime on her head, she wasn''t a soft and gentle person. How could she be willing to comply?


    Miao Yuqi rolled her eyes. She immediately realized that these words could only have come out of Miao Qi''s mouth. Anger erupted within her. She stood up and shouted, "Are you saying that this damned girl Miao Qi is making me up? I''m going to rip her mouth off."


    Mr and Mrs Miao''s faces turned ugly when they saw Miao Yuqi being so impudent in front of them.


    Without waiting for the crowd to respond, Miao Yuqi turned and headed straight for the door of Seventh Brother''s residence. She slammed the door with both of her hands, as if she would smash the door before she could come out.


    Qi Qi Qi let out a cold laugh as she stood behind the door. After tidying up her clothes, she abruptly opened the door. She looked at Miao Yuqi with a puzzled expression on her face. She had nearly tripped from her sudden action.


    "Cousin, it''s not polite to knock on the door like that. It''s better to change it in the future."


    "Miao Qi, why did you create my rumor?"


    "Rumors? Cousin, what are you talking about? After looking at her for a moment, he then walked past her and headed towards the living room.


    "Grandpa, grandpa, grandma, uncle, auntie, mom, why are all of you here?" Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he turned around and looked at Old Man Miao, who was sitting on the seat of honor.


    "Grandfather, could it be because of that cousin of mine that we''re all allowed to sit together?"


    Grandpa Miao nodded his head slightly and pointed to the empty seat beside his mother and father, gesturing for 77 to go over and take a seat.


    He sat down and whispered to Old Man Miao, "Grandpa, you can just quietly tell your cousin about this matter. With such a huge lineup, your cousin would be in such a difficult position. If it was me, even if I wanted to admit to it, I wouldn''t dare to admit to it."


    What do you mean, seven or seven? What do you mean, ''I have the heart to admit my wrongs but I don''t dare to admit it in this situation?''


    Seeing how Qi Qi Qi was acting, Miao Yuqi almost went crazy. She never thought that this seemingly innocent cousin of hers would actually be such a shameless b * tch.


    How much better is it today, please look forward to it


    This time, she didn''t rush to Miao Yuqi''s house impulsively to seek justice like the original owner. Naturally, she couldn''t let the neighbors know that Miao Yuqi had fabricated a scandal. She only needed to dispel Old Man Miao''s suspicions and control the situation more easily than the original owner.


    In order for Miao Yuqi to not have the energy to create her own songs, she first had to make Miao Yuqi unable to take care of herself.


    Cousin, everything I said was the truth, not a single one of them was deliberately fabricated. If you don''t believe me, I can draw the appearance of that person, you asked me to accompany you to see this person before, I heard his accent was that of a native, I remember his appearance very clearly, I guarantee he will look like it.


    After hearing what Qi Qi Qi said, Miao Yuqi''s originally arrogant demeanor instantly faded away. She could swear that she had never had an affair with anyone after her marriage, but after all, she was very close to other men during their engagement period. If this matter was exposed, how could she ever raise her head in the Zhou Mansion in the future?


    Thinking of this strong relationship, Miao Yuqi could not help but soften her attitude. "Seventh Brother, did you misunderstand something?" "That''s just an ordinary friend of mine. If it''s really like you said, why would I bring you along when I''m close to that person?"


    "But ¡­" But I saw him kiss you! " Qi Qi lowered her head, her face filled with hesitation and fear.


    When everyone heard this, their faces turned green. If this matter were to be discovered, their Old Miao Family would lose face!


    "Seventh Brother, other than you, is there anyone else who knows about this?" Mr Miao knew that with his big brother''s personality, he would not have the face to ask such a question, so he asked in place of him.


    "Probably not. I''ve never told anyone, not even my brother-in-law. But I can''t guarantee that no one else saw it at that time."


    When Miao Yuqi heard that Qi Qi had not told anyone else about this, she heaved a sigh of relief.


    "No one will know as long as you don''t tell." After finishing her sentence, Miao Yuqi realized that she had said the wrong thing. She quickly covered her mouth, because it was already too late. She was so angry that she wanted to slap herself to death.


    "Grandpa, grandma, mom, and dad, believe me, I was just hesitating before getting married. After I got married, I was safe and sound and didn''t do anything wrong." Miao Yuqi summoned up her courage and tried to explain, but her credibility had already been questioned by everyone. Even her own parents couldn''t help but doubt the words that came out of her mouth.


    For a moment, the entire living room fell into an awkward silence.


    "Cousin, we believe in your character. As long as you say that you don''t have it, I will believe you." Qi Qi broke the silence with a sincere look on his face.


    At this moment, Miao Yuqi hated the instigator, Qi Qi, the most. When she heard that she was still pretending to be a good person, how could she still tolerate it?


    "There''s no need for you to be so kind. If it wasn''t for you urging me on, I wouldn''t have to painstakingly beg for everyone''s trust."


    "Yuqi, this is the attitude of you admitting your wrongs. You should thank Qi Qi. If it wasn''t for her reminder, you might have made a mistake that you can''t repent for."


    Grandpa Miao was sternly lecturing Miao Yuqi. At this moment, he had already decided that Qi Jian was a good child. He naturally didn''t believe a single word of what Miao Yuqi had said to him earlier about Qi Qi.

 C78

    "Grandfather, aren''t you being too biased!?" Why don''t you believe what I said, and what she said, you believed ten percent? "I grew up by your side. Miao Qiqi was raised outside. Do you know what her character is like?" Seeing that her story was finally reversed, Miao Yuqi also rushed to apply the eye medicine on Miao Qi.


    "It''s because you grew up right in front of me that I know what you''re thinking every time you lift your hand and stretch your leg. That''s why I''m telling you so solemnly today, you can''t be too arrogant, eat whatever you''re capable of. Don''t be jealous of others ¡­" Old Man Miao''s words could be said to be a painstaking effort, but there were people who couldn''t stand it any longer.


    Dad, logically speaking, your words don''t have any space for a daughter-in-law like me to interrupt, but your words are a bit too chilling. You can eat whatever you want, and our language isn''t any worse than others''. When he said the two words "others", Chen Daxin intentionally cast a glance at him.


    This was not the time for her to force her to stand out. Since Chen Daxin dared to speak with her father-in-law, she would let him do as he pleased. Anyway, when Old Man Miao gets angry, the anger was not directed at him.


    "Just calm down for a good year. It''s fine if the child doesn''t know anything, but why are you blindly joining in?" Although Uncle Miao didn''t usually speak much, he still had a certain level of prestige at home. With his eyes wide open, even though Chen Dazqin''s heart was still unsettled, she still managed to sit down.


    Miao Yuqi looked at Seventh Seven and wanted to bring up the matter of the tampon again, but when she saw that her second uncle and second aunt were also present, she knew that she had just eaten her food and was unable to do so. She thought for a moment, then swallowed her words back to her stomach, hoping that she could find a chance in the future to properly deal with this Miao Seventh and have her spread rumors in front of her grandfather, making herself look as bad as she did today.


    "Since Yu Qi has already said this much, I''ll believe you for now. But you must remember, you are already a mother, you can''t make any mistakes in the outside world. Even if you don''t think for the Miao Family, you must think for your son. You don''t want your child to grow up and go out and be pointed at by others, saying that he has a shameless mother, right?" In the end, Grandpa Miao was still worried. He continued to nag on and on.


    However, it was hard to say if some of these words had been heard by Miao Yuqi.


    At this family meeting, Old Man Miao''s goal wasn''t to criticize anyone, but he didn''t want any shameful incidents to happen to his family. Since everything had already been made clear, there was no need to pursue it any further.


    The old man inadvertently turned his head and saw Seventh Seven, who was obediently sitting next to his daughter-in-law. He thought back to what Miao Yuqi had said to her earlier, and frowned. He then turned to Miao Yuqi and said, "It''s better if you don''t make wild guesses in the future. It''s easy for you to wrongly accuse others, but also act like you''re uneducated."


    "I ¡­" Instead of saying that, why not just say it instead? It was just that, this matter could be considered as having been decided between her and Miao Qi Qi, and this damned girl had been at loggerheads with her half a year ago. She had never expected that she would become even more out of place with her half a year later, and that her methods would be so amazing as well. It seemed like she would have to be careful of this little cousin of hers in the future.


    This time, Qi Qi was the first to make the first move. She didn''t give Miao Yuqi the chance to spread rumors that she wasn''t a virgin, so Mr and Mrs Miao didn''t ask to leave early. Instead, they happily stayed back home to celebrate New Year with the old man.


    After Miao Yuqi was taken away by Uncle Miao, he made an excuse to return to her room to rest. It was the new year, and Mr Miao wanted her to have a good rest. His precious daughter had lost a lot of weight recently, so he urged her to hurry back to her room to take a nap.


    In the room, Qi Qi was lying on her back with her hands behind her head and a warm blanket covering her body, ready to get a good night''s sleep. When she got here, she had been planning to take care of Miao Yuqi.


    Her eyes were closed, but a pair of smiling eyes would always appear in front of her eyes. She knew that this was Mu Chen''s eyes, he had often used them to look at her in the previous mission world, but from now on, she would probably never see them again.


    She wanted to chase this person out of her mind. She had a hunch that Mu Chen had a huge secret on him, otherwise, he would not disappear in such a weird way, but right now, she could not even touch a single corner of this secret. Instead, if she was looking for trouble like this, she might as well focus on completing the mission in front of her.


    After tossing and turning for more than ten minutes, he still didn''t feel sleepy at all. He sat up and got off the bed to open the trunk brought by the original owner.


    She found a few textbooks in her suitcase, full of English letters, and a laptop computer.


    If nothing unexpected happened, she would take the place of the original owner in this mission and live her life until the end of her life. Since the original owner was studying abroad, she naturally had to continue the original owner''s path.


    Seventh Seven''s English was not bad. In Bai Seventh Seven''s mission, as a rich person''s daughter, she naturally also grasped these basic English abilities, but as a student, this was the first time. According to her knowledge, education abroad was about leniency, and graduation was not an easy matter.


    He casually flipped through the thick textbook in his hands, but when he reached the middle section, he noticed something amiss. This book was not smooth, and there seemed to be something under it. She quickly flipped through it and found an envelope.


    The outside of the envelope was blank. He didn''t write anything, so he picked up the envelope suspiciously and opened it, taking out a thin piece of paper.


    A love letter!? It can''t be, she remembered that the company''s information didn''t mention that Miao Qiqi had admirers or admirers?


    Thinking up to here, Qi Qi was furious in her heart. When she returned, she would definitely think of a way to complain, how could something so unreliable happen? She hadn''t even received a complete storyline, and she was actually sent to the world of missions halfway through. Wasn''t this clearly increasing the difficulty of her work?


    Although he was complaining, Qi Qi still read the contents of the letter carefully a few times.


    However, just as she was about to confess, she realized that her good friend had beaten her to it. Although she didn''t know whether he had agreed or not, she had already lost the opportunity to open her mouth, unless she was prepared to cut off all ties with her good friend. For the moment, however, she could not break off her relationship, so she could only hide her love letter, hoping that one day she would destroy this love letter or give out this love letter after understanding it for herself.


    Wait, Qi Qi Hua raised the letter a little higher and carefully read one sentence again and again.


    "When I found out that you came from City X and were my hometown, I was really happy. I felt that this was fate that had been arranged for us to meet by chance in America thousands of miles away."


    Qi Qi pointed her finger at her chin again and again. That is to say, this person should also be from City X. After all, it was a Chinese Lunar New Year, and as long as one''s family circumstances allowed, they would normally return to the country to celebrate the new year. According to what the original owner knew, the Chinese students enrolled at the university were all in good families.


    Perhaps the original owner had been angered to death, and this involved this boy. After all, other than studying, relationships were the things that mattered the most to a girl who was not even twenty years old.


    Moreover, due to the lack of life experience, these girls would often view love as the most important thing in their lives.


    So if it''s true that the original owner''s death was related to this boy, what could have led to such an outcome?" According to the original owner''s description, this boy should be a rather elegant person. Even if there was a misunderstanding, he shouldn''t have hurt the original owner directly.


    Since she could not figure out the relationship between the two, she decided not to think about it anymore. After stuffing the letter back into the book, she grabbed a laptop and opened it, browsing through the documents and photos on the laptop.


    Most of them were courseware PPTs, and there were also some completed or incomplete reports. It seemed that the original owner was a very diligent and diligent student.


    After opening the folder called "Album" in D Plate, 77 saw quite a few photos of the same boy that had been taken. They were all side by side or back. The background was in the classroom, campus, cafeteria and even the library.


    Thinking of that love letter, Qi Qi quickly guessed the identity of this boy. It seemed that the little girl, Miao Qi was really engrossed in love.


    After skimming through all the documents in the computer, he casually put the computer aside and continued browsing through other textbooks. He wanted to carefully read the remaining reports later to see what time the deadline was, and whether or not he should hurry up and finish writing them during the winter vacation.


    It was at that moment that the sound of Mrs Miao calling for food came from the door.


    Qi Qi turned around and gave a casual reply. She raised her hand and looked at the time on her watch. It was already 12 o''clock. She tidied up the table a little before opening the door and heading to the dining room.


    As the family sat down to eat, Miao Yuqi came over. She said that she had cooked some pig''s feet at noon, and her father told them to bring some over so that they could have a taste together.


    Because of what happened this morning, Grandpa Miao did not have a friendly attitude towards Miao Yuqi. However, he did not put on any airs.


    A few minutes later, the sound of her farewells could be heard coming from the living room. Everyone was from the same family, and they were all eating. Therefore, none of the people present had gotten up to send her off, except for Grandma Miao, who shouted at the top of her lungs, asking her to tell her parents that they were coming over for dinner that evening.


    It was unknown whether Miao Yuqi had heard them, but other than the sound of the door closing, there was no other sound.


    "Whatever the hurry this child is in, he shouldn''t have made a sound. I wonder if he heard it." Holding the bowl in her hand, Granny Miao quietly underestimated it.


    "Just make a phone call later. What''s there to think about?" Grandpa Miao glanced at his wife impatiently.

 C79

    Miao Yuqi hurriedly walked to a corner and scanned her surroundings. Seeing that there was no one around, she quickly ran to a hidden passageway. Due to its narrow location, no one would normally go there.


    She took her cell phone out of her pocket, opened the photo album icon, and ran her fingers across the screen, zooming in and out of the picture she''d just taken.


    After carefully reading the contents of the photo, a proud smile appeared on her face.


    "It doesn''t take much effort to get here. So it turns out that this girl likes Chen Dong''s brother. Damn girl, since you dare to slander me, I''ll let you have a taste of being hated by the people you like. Let''s see if you dare to provoke me again in the future."


    After closing the photo album, Miao Yuqi opened WeChat, found a person named Zhu Dong, and quickly typed in a few words.


    "Long time no see, do you have time?"


    Not long after he typed in this sentence, a response immediately came.


    "You still remember me, why? Not having a good time with your husband? "


    Miao Yuqi smiled as a hint of pride flashed across her eyes. She knew that this man would never forget her.


    "If you have time, come out and meet me. I''d like to talk to you."


    "It''s that simple to talk about it?" I thought you missed Little Chen Dong. Alright, let''s meet tomorrow afternoon at our usual place. " At the end of the sentence, there was also a erotic picture.


    After getting her answer, Miao Yuqi didn''t waste any more time talking. As she looked at the map''s repetitive vulgar actions, the corner of her mouth twitched and she quickly emptied the chat logs.


    After finishing all this, Miao Yuqi walked out of the corridor as if nothing had happened and continued walking in the direction of her home.


    After lunch, Mrs Miao took seven or seven to the shopping mall downtown. It was almost New Year''s, and she hadn''t bought any new clothes for the Spring Festival yet, so she didn''t really care. However, Mrs Miao insisted and said that she wouldn''t buy any new clothes for the new year, so there was no atmosphere at all.


    Having no other choice, he followed her to the mall.


    Mrs Miao''s car followed the other car into the shopping mall''s parking lot. Everything was normal at this speed, so nothing could have happened. Mrs Miao''s cell phone rang and she was distracted to answer a call.


    Bored, Qi Qi took a magazine from the side pocket under the window and started flipping through it.


    However, just as she turned the page, the car she was sitting on started. Luckily, she was still wearing her seat belt and just rushed forward slightly.


    Qi Qi Qi was startled and quickly raised her head to look at Mrs Miao. However, she saw a flash of panic on her face. They both looked back and saw a tall, thin figure alighting from a black SUV behind her.


    The man hurriedly walked over to Mrs Miao and rapped on the window with his slender fingers.


    Mrs Miao hurriedly rolled down the window.


    "Sorry, sorry, I didn''t notice it earlier. The speed is a little fast, are you guys okay?"


    The low voice sounded anxious and frightened. Due to the angle, Qi Qi could only see the part below the chest of this person, but her face could not be seen.


    "Why are you so careless when driving a car? Why are you driving so fast in a place like this? And you didn''t see a car in front of you? "I''ll just directly charge over." Mrs Miao wasn''t someone who could not be forgiven. However, at this moment, she couldn''t help but reprimand him. It was just too dangerous a moment ago. What if something happened and there was no point in being sorry?


    "I''m really sorry, Auntie. I just got my driver''s license, so I''m a bit flustered when I drive. Your car is a little bruised, so leave me your number. I''ll cover all the repair costs."


    This was a new car. After having bought it for just a short while, Mrs Miao felt that it was quite precious. Upon hearing that the rear end of the car had been scraped, she hurriedly unbuckled her seat belt and got out to check on the situation.


    Noticing the situation, Qi Qi couldn''t stay in the car any longer. She too opened the door, following Mrs Miao as she got out of the car.


    "Qi Qi, why are you here?"


    She had just gotten off the car when she heard a surprised voice. She turned her head to look and saw that the man who was standing outside Mama Miao''s window was looking at her in surprise.


    Qi Qi tilted her head and carefully searched her mind for any memories of this person. However, other than feeling that this person looked a little familiar, she really couldn''t remember who he was.


    He cursed the unreliable system in his mind once again.


    "Yeah, my mom and I came for a walk, why are you here too? "Just now, it was you ¡­" Qi Qi smiled, and immediately pretended to recognize this person, and asked familiarly and safely.


    "Ugh ¡­" I am truly sorry for what happened just now. It was my carelessness that caused it, but don''t worry, I will definitely take responsibility for it. " Having said this, he immediately turned to look in the direction of his mother, seemingly worried that she would get angry.


    She had only just obtained the car for a short period of time. Normally, she had used it very carefully, but she hadn''t expected that in the time it took to buy some clothes, she would have been hit like this. Although it wasn''t serious, returning to the factory to repair it was still troublesome.


    Mrs Miao had also heard the conversation between Qi Qi and the boy. It was clear that the two of them knew each other. In this situation, even if she felt uncomfortable inside, it wouldn''t be good for her to flare up at this moment.


    "You two know each other?" Mrs Miao asked as she looked at the two children.


    "Yes, auntie. My name is Chen Liang, and I''m from the same class as Qi Qi, and I was on the same flight back home two days ago, hehe," Chen Liang hurriedly answered.


    Hearing this, a silhouette suddenly appeared in Qi Qi Qi''s mind. This person was Chen Liang, the boy that the original owner had a crush on!


    She raised her head to look at his face. At this moment, he was standing sideways towards Mrs Miao, and from this look, he really was the person in the photo. Qi Qi Qi secretly stuck out her tongue in surprise.


    When Mrs Miao heard that it was her daughter''s classmate from the United States, and also from the same class, she felt a little discontent and immediately disappeared. She immediately smiled and said, "So it''s Seventh Fellow Student, is your home?"


    "Yeah, I''m from City X as well, so I can be considered as a fellow villager." Although Chen Liang was still a little embarrassed from what had happened just now, he appeared rather generous.


    "Qi Qi must have troubled you all quite a bit in the United States. It''s all thanks to you guys taking care of her." Mrs Miao smiled and greeted him. Since she was her daughter''s classmate, she naturally wouldn''t pursue the matter. In order to help her daughter with her diplomatic affairs, she even showed a bit of enthusiasm.


    Just as Chen Liang was about to say something polite, he heard the sound of a car horn coming from behind him. Mrs Miao turned around and saw that there was a car entering the parking lot from behind. The two cars were parked at the entrance, blocking the way of others.


    Mrs Miao hurriedly bowed in apology before turning her head to Chen Liang and said, "Look at me. I didn''t notice that this isn''t a good place to chat. Let''s quickly move the car away so that we don''t disturb others."


    Before getting on the car, Mrs Miao turned around worriedly and called out, "Chen Liang, do you need auntie''s help to park you inside?"


    "No need, Auntie. I will drive very carefully. I won''t bump into you again." Chen Liang''s face turned red and he quickly declined.


    Because of the appearance of the car park and the shopping mall this time, Chen Liang had accompanied the mother and daughter pair all the way from noon to evening without any complaints. When settling the bill, he even rushed to pay the bill, claiming that he wanted to atone for his sins.


    How could an elder like Mrs Miao be willing to let his daughter''s classmate pay for the money, even if the accident was indeed his fault?


    "Little Chen, don''t worry about what happened just now. It''s just a small scrape. Auntie will go directly to insurance. Auntie definitely can''t let you pay for this. Stop fighting over it."


    Seeing that Mrs Miao was adamant, Chen Liang could only let her go in embarrassment. Previously, he had insisted on not letting her go while pinching the invoices. Thus, his mother''s call had been attracted to him.


    However, even though the invoice had been handed over, Chen Liang raised his head and looked at seven or seven faces. He looked and looked, and even had a smile on the corner of his mouth after reading it.


    While Mrs Miao was paying at the cashier, Qi Qi Qi glared at him and went straight to the point. "What''s the matter with you? Why are you looking at me? There''s nothing strange on my face." What would my mother think of you, if she saw you like this? "


    In the past, when he looked at her, although she would not look back at him with love, she would always shyly lower her head and smile. How could this time ¡­


    "I... I... I''m sorry, I didn''t mean to. " After a few times, Chen Liang didn''t know how to explain the reason behind his actions, so he could only quietly apologize.


    "It wasn''t intentional, so don''t look at me so bashfully in the future. I don''t want others to misunderstand anything!" After saying that, he turned around and walked towards Mrs Miao.


    Chen Liang stood blankly on the spot, not knowing whether he should follow or stay. He stretched out his hand to scratch the back of his head, feeling that seven or eight times had changed. He couldn''t tell exactly what was different, but it was still different.


    Although Mrs Miao had been queuing up to pay, she had also noticed the situation behind her. When she saw Qi Qi Qi leave Chen and walk over, she couldn''t help but let out a relieved smile. On the way here just now, she had seen Chen Liang''s eagerness towards his own daughter and worried that he might fall in love with her due to being too lonely abroad.


    Actually, it wasn''t too early for them to fall in love, even at the age of eighteen. However, Mrs Miao was worried that her daughter didn''t really like her, but rather that she was afraid of loneliness before she hurriedly fell in love. This sort of immature love rarely ended up in a marriage.


    "What''s wrong? A fight? " Mrs Miao asked despite knowing the answer.


    "No, it''s just that he kept looking at me. It was weird, so I warned him."


    "You! A girl shouldn''t be so fierce when talking to a boy. Even if you don''t like it, you can still be more tactful and not hurt the hearts of others. " Knowing that Qi Qi Qi didn''t have such thoughts, Mrs Miao could finally relax. On the contrary, she should not have taught her daughter a lesson so directly.


    "It won''t happen, Mom ~ ~ He''s a man, why would he be sad because of my words? He''s not that weak." He had a look of innocence that made him look as if he had no knowledge of the world.


    She didn''t want to have anything to do with the boy that the original owner had a crush on. Furthermore, if it was as she had guessed, the original owner''s death was related to Chen Liang.


    After strolling around the mall for an entire afternoon and stuffing the spoils of war into the trunk, only then did Mrs Miao prepare to leave contentedly. Before parting ways, Chen Liang had insisted on bearing the costs of Mrs Miao''s maintenance.


    Mrs Miao looked at the phone number written on the slip of paper in her hand, then looked at Chen Liang, who was driving away. She smiled and said, "This child."

    Miao Yuqi wore a woolen hat on her head and a large scarf covering half of her face. Even so, when she reached the entrance of the hotel, she still carefully surveyed her surroundings. After confirming that there were no acquaintances, she quickly entered the hotel.


    Very quickly, someone pulled open the door from the inside. Before Miao Yuqi could see who it was, a pair of strong and robust arms extended from inside and wrapped around her waist.


    "Your waist is not as thin as before!" Chen Dong first thoroughly probed Miao Yuqi, then buried his face in her ears and took a few bites before letting go. As he walked towards the large bed in the room, he teased her.


    Miao Yuqi glared at him in displeasure as she took off her hat and scarf and threw them at her face.


    "Who is to blame? When I told you to be a bit more careful, you only cared about your own gratification. Now that you''re pregnant, you said that you wanted to marry someone else. Do you know that I wished I could have killed you at that time? "


    Chen Dong took off his hat and scarf and threw them to the side. He sat up quickly and held Miao Yuqi with a fawning face, "Yes, yes, yes, it was all my fault. I was forced to do this! "My dad wanted me to marry that woman, and I also didn''t want to, I didn''t want to, but what can I do, my company is only supported by my dad''s investment, if I don''t listen to my dad, my company is done for."


    "Hurry up and let go, I haven''t forgiven you yet!" Miao Yuqi pretended to struggle a few times. Seeing that Chen Dong still refused to let go, she let him go.


    Look, my dad didn''t give me any money, so I can also give you and the child some more money. Now that you''ve married someone according to your parents'' arrangements, your husband will see that you''ve given birth to such a big and fat kid. Your husband will definitely love and care for you. As they were talking, Chen Dong had already pulled open Miao Yuqi''s shirt.


    "If you want to see your son so much, and want to see me, that''s fine. You can just divorce me and marry me." Miao Yuqi stared coldly at the head in front of her as a mocking expression appeared on her face.


    She didn''t expect that this grandson would leave after eating his fill and refused to marry her at all. Because of her special physique, she couldn''t give birth to a baby, so she could only brace herself and marry her fiance, whom she originally didn''t like. Fortunately, this matter was kept a secret, and no one else knew about it, so if there was even the slightest bit of information about it, then she wouldn''t be able to stay in her hometown anymore.


    Now, if it wasn''t for Chen Dong taking advantage of her to teach Miao Qi a lesson, she would definitely not have anything to do with this man.


    "Hehe, I can see you at any time. You''re not common, so let''s not waste time. I''ve missed you so much after not seeing you for so long." Chen Dong didn''t answer Miao Shiqi directly, but his hand movements were surprisingly fast.


    Seeing Chen Dong''s infatuated gaze sweep over her body, Miao Yuqi, who had been suppressed for a long time, came back to life once more.


    Her current husband was a good person and was also very honest. However, in their lives, how could he be as playful and playful as he was? It had been a long time since she had had a taste of him due to her pregnancy.


    With that in mind, Miao Yuqi obediently lay down on the bed.


    Miao Yuqi nestled into Chen Dong''s arms.


    "You told me before that your brother was studying at a university in the United States, right?"


    Chen Dong was still immersed in his passion just now, and without a doubt, he was the only one who answered casually, "Our family counts as this kid''s hard work. He went to the United States right after graduating from high school, and he even took a scholarship to go out. Logically speaking, under our conditions, he doesn''t need to apply for a scholarship at all, but he studies well, so the school has to give it to him, hahaha."


    From his words, it wasn''t hard to tell that Chen Dong also had high hopes for his younger brother.


    "I really can''t tell. You and your brother have a pretty good relationship. Under normal circumstances, don''t the children of rich people fight very hard?"


    Chen Dong curled his lips and said with a look of disapproval, "You''ve watched too many TV dramas, right? How can you fight so openly and secretly, my brother is trying his best, he never thought of relying on his family, even if my dad wants to give him money, he still deserves it. I only have one brother, and we need to help each other in the future, why fight with him for so little money, my eyes are so shallow."


    He never thought that this man would even have a bit of conscience. However, his conscience was already used on his own family, and he was as heartless as he could be towards her. Even his own son was willing to let him go call someone else''s father.


    Thinking of this, Miao Yuqi hated herself so much that her teeth ached. When she thought of how Miao Qiqi had complained behind her back and nearly caused her to lose face, she felt even more aggrieved.


    "As a big brother, you are quite competent, but have you heard a word? This unmarried brother is always intimate with you. Your brother doesn''t care about you right now, but what if he finds a scheming girlfriend? You also said that your brother is more capable than you. Say, when the time comes, will your father leave everything to your brother and not give it to you? "


    Chen Dong was about to say "impossible", but in his mind, he recalled his wife persuading him not to be so generous, to fight for his performance in front of the old man, and to win against his own brother.


    He didn''t like that woman, so he treated her words like farts. However, if his own brother had a soft hearing, then he might really believe it and start fighting with him for the family property.


    Miao Yuqi raised her head to look at Chen Dong''s face. There was nothing that she didn''t understand. At least she had been around him for a long time, so she continued to add fuel to the fire.


    "This is all for your own good. You should know that whether or not you take over my family property has no effect on me. In any case, I''m not your wife, so even if you had thousands of gold, I still won''t be able to get a single cent."


    The more Miao Yuqi said, the more confused Chen Dong became. Originally, he wasn''t worried at all, but now, his heart was at an root.


    "What you said is too bizarre. That brother of mine has his own will. He wouldn''t listen to others and change his temper just because of it."


    "That might not be the case. As the saying goes, ''A hero will be hard to deal with.'' Anyway, I''ve already reminded you of everything that I should warn you about. It''s up to you to believe it or not."


    Chen Dong wanted to agree and say that he would be careful, but when he thought about it again, he felt that something was wrong, "Eh? "That''s not right, you didn''t even mention my brother before, why did you bring it up now? You even mentioned it?"


    Miao Yuqi had expected him to ask such a question, so she calmly asked, "Do you still remember my cousin? I brought you here to have a meal with me? "


    Chen Dong''s memory was still a bit blurry.


    "I remember, it seems to be pretty cold. That few times when we ate, she always sat at the side with a cold expression on her face. I talked to her, but she always ignored me. What, is the matter you mentioned today related to her?"


    Hearing Chen Dong''s evaluation of Qi Qi, Miao Yuqi disdainfully rolled her eyes as she thought to herself, "What''s there to be proud of? Isn''t it just because you''re secretly in love with your little brother? Don''t read any books. Just think of some silly, romantic things."


    "Why are you suddenly talking about your cousin again?" Chen Dong lowered his head to look at Miao Yuqi. Then, he immediately thought of what she had just said. After connecting the two sides, he immediately understood. "You mean, your cousin and my younger brother are in love!?"


    "Not yet, but if you don''t do anything, it''ll be soon."


    "I can see that your cousin is quite lofty. If she were to be together with my brother, it would not be a bad thing. She shouldn''t urge my brother to fight over the family property, right?"


    Miao Yuqi reached out and pinched the soft flesh on Chen Dong''s waist, "Qinggao my ass, do you know how much it would cost for her to come back to my hometown?" Whatever it is expensive, your family''s wealth is almost gone, and yet you''re still as noble as before! "


    "It can''t be. I remember that when she came to eat with you, she didn''t order anything expensive?" Chen Dong was still a little skeptical, "Besides, didn''t you say that her family was in pretty good condition? Why would she spend your money? "


    Miao Yuqi rolled her eyes. "You still dare to say that you understand women? What do you know? Let me tell you, there is a type of woman in this world. No matter how much you own, she won''t think too much of it.


    Seeing that there was still a trace of doubt on Chen Dong''s face, Miao Yuqi abruptly sat up, picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on.


    If I had known it was Lu Dongbin who was biting his tongue and acting ungrateful, I wouldn''t have wasted so much of my time talking to you. I''ve wasted so much of my saliva; anyway, do you believe my words?


    Seeing that Miao Yuqi was angry, Chen Dong hurriedly rushed over, hugging her by the waist as he coaxed her, "Who said I don''t believe you, I just don''t believe the whole world. Seeing that Miao Yuqi was angry, Chen Dong quickly ran over, hugging her by the waist as he coaxed," Who said I don''t believe you, I just don''t believe the whole world.


    Knowing that no matter how much he said it, it wouldn''t attract Chen Dong''s attention, Miao Yuqi simply pushed her hand away from her waist and continued dressing.


    "If you think it''s early, you don''t need to worry about it. I''ve already been out for long enough, it''s time to go back. Who knows how the child will cry!" She didn''t think that she would succeed on her first try, as she had already said so much today. Instead of repeating such alarmist words again and again, she might as well go back and do something small so that that stinking man Chen Dong could see it for himself.


    Seeing that there was no one left, Chen Dong also got out of bed. When he saw Miao Yuqi out of the room, they chatted sweetly for a while. They agreed to meet again at the appointed time, and the two of them went their separate ways.


    Returning to his room and lying down on his bed, Chen Dong''s mind echoed what Miao Shiqi had said just now. Although he felt that it was unlikely, he still decided to check out his brother''s words once he got back and see if he was interested in that ice beauty.


    No matter how much that ice-cold beauty loved money, if her own brother had no interest in her, then no matter what, it had nothing to do with her. On the contrary, if Chen Liang was interested in that woman, it wouldn''t be too late for him to think of a countermeasure.

    Qi Qi quickly hid in the milk tea shop on the side of the road, using the tables and chairs to cover half of her body, and covered half of her face with the magazine she bought just now. Through the window of the milk tea shop, her eyes fell on the figure that just came out of the hotel from the opposite side.


    If she hadn''t personally witnessed Miao Yuqi going out with this hat, she definitely wouldn''t have recognized the fully armed woman in front of her by now.


    She, who had always had a habit of taking a nap, did not sleep this afternoon. Just as Miao Yuqi was about to leave, she happened to pour water from the kitchen and when she turned around, she saw her.


    In the afternoon, she had asked her brother-in-law if he was home with her and where he had gone. The brother-in-law had said that she was out to buy some milk powder for her children.


    Buying milk powder to buy a hotel, it was obvious that there was something fishy going on!


    Could it be that the lie she told in order to free herself from her predicament had come true?


    After seeing Miao Yuqi look around to make sure she didn''t recognize anyone in the vicinity, he gently pulled down his scarf and quickly left the hotel. However, he didn''t immediately give chase; instead, he sat down next to the window and waited patiently.


    Miao Yuqi must have come to meet someone. As for whether the person she was meeting was an ordinary friend or a lover, she would naturally be able to tell when she saw the person. She had a hunch that the person she was meeting with was most likely the Bei Tai she had met before.


    Back then, Miao Yuqi and that person had fought intensely, so how could they have ended up in such a short period of time? Furthermore, based on her calculations, Miao Yuqi''s marriage time was too delicate, making it difficult to believe that there were no tricks involved.


    Sure enough, after almost an hour, Qi Qi saw a familiar figure appear in front of the hotel entrance. This person had his collar turned up and received the key from the hotel doorman. He quickly got into the car and drove away.


    Although it had only been less than a minute, Qi Qi had managed to clearly see the man''s facial features. Furthermore, she had also discovered something very interesting. This spare tire of Miao Yuqi''s was 80% similar to Chen Liang''s that she had seen yesterday afternoon.


    The two of them were definitely related. Maybe they were brothers, but was it really just a clandestine love affair that Miao Yuqi was meeting with Bei Tai and Bei You at this time?


    Qi Qi narrowed her eyes and took a big sip of the milk tea before her. She puffed up her cheeks and chewed on the pearl in her mouth until she finished a cup of milk tea. Then she stood up and took the magazine home.


    It was going to be the new year soon. Although she didn''t have to do anything about the family matters, it wouldn''t be good for her to come out for too long. Since Miao Yuqi was already gone, it would be too easy for her if she didn''t go back to add fuel to the fire.


    By the time he got home, Miao Yuqi was already nursing the baby. There was actually a box of milk powder that had just been opened in front of her.


    "Cousin, why did you go out to buy powdered milk for so long? My nephew is starving. " Qi Qi sat down beside Miao Yuqi and asked while pretending to be unconcerned.


    Miao Yuqi''s hand that was holding the bottle trembled as her pacifier came out of the child''s mouth and dripped a few drops onto the child''s white cheeks.


    "Cousin, look at you. I was just casually saying that, why are you so nervous? "He scared my nephew." The 7-7 seemed to be heartbroken as he quickly took a tissue and gently wiped off the milk stains from the corner of his child''s mouth.


    Miao Yuqi raised her head and glared at him for seven or seven times before turning around. With her back facing him, she retorted, "Just mind your own business. Just mind yourself."


    "Yuqi, why are you talking to Qiqi like this? You''re already a mother, do you still not know how to behave like this?" Miao Yuqi''s words just happened to be heard by Grandpa Miao, who had just come out of the kitchen. Grandpa Miao frowned as he unhappily lectured her.


    "Grandfather, it''s alright. My cousin might still be angry at me. I''ll be fine in a few days." Seven to seven was already young, and their looks were also simple. At this moment, their act of pretending to be a white lotus was flawless.


    Miao Yuqi couldn''t stand seeing such a hypocritical look on his face. She wanted to mock him, but seeing that Old Man Miao was still there, she couldn''t help but bite her lips and hold her breath. However, her originally stiff back had now become even more stiff.


    Miao Yuqi was not in a good mood to begin with, but the way she fed the milk involuntarily became a bit rough. The child was still young, and her mouth was quite delicate, but after being nudged a few times by the pacifier, she began to writhe uncomfortably. However, she did not feel any better after wriggling for a while, so she could only wail and express her dissatisfaction.


    "Cousin, the child is crying. Aren''t you going to coax him?"


    Miao Yuqi glared furiously at Qi Qi Qi. She turned her head to look at her child''s crying face and felt even more impatient. The child''s crying had caused her to choke out the milk she had just drunk. She was vomiting all over her clothes; it was smelly and dirty.


    "Aiya ~ Cousin sister, your child has vomited milk. Your clothes are all covered in milk. You can either go wash up first, I''ll help you coax your child."


    If this was the past, Miao Yuqi would definitely not have let Qi Qi to touch this child. However, she had just seen that heartless man this afternoon, and now that Qi Qi Qi was angry at this child, she silently agreed. She placed the child on the sofa, turned around, and went into the bathroom.


    Seeing that Miao Yuqi had entered the bathroom, Qi Qi quickly picked up the child and soothed Grandpa Miao and Grandma Miao, who had just heard the wailing sounds coming from the kitchen, "Grandpa, Grandma, you guys go back to work. The child vomited milk and vomited all over her cousin, and she went to clean the clothes.


    Only then did she relax and return to the kitchen. However, when she was in the kitchen, she whispered to Grandpa Miao, "This child Qiqi is more sensible than Qiqi. The child is already crying like this. This mother doesn''t feel bad. She just has to look after her clothes to see if they are clean or not.


    Grandpa Miao did not respond. However, a trace of disappointment was revealed in his eyes.


    Qi Qi hugged her child and coaxed her in a soft voice. She still had some experience with coaxing children. Back when she was on the mission of an aunt, she had raised a child as well, and she knew everything that she was supposed to know.


    After a short while, the child calmed down and closed his eyes, falling into a deep sleep.


    Qi Qi looked up at the kitchen and the bathroom. Seeing that there was no movement, she quietly put the child on the sofa. She turned around, took out a pair of scissors from the drawer of the tea table, and carefully cut off a few strands of hair on the child''s head.


    The time of her child''s birth was too subtle, and today, she ran into Miao Yuqi and Bei Tai coming out of the hotel, so she couldn''t help but suspect his identity. If her guess was right, this child wasn''t her brother-in-law, then Miao Yuqi could have just avoided provoking her.


    After so many missions, 77 understood the principle that one should not have the heart to harm others, but one should also have the mind to guard against others.


    This was a tradition of the Miao Family. During the new year, Mr Miao and his family came back from the city to celebrate the new year with Grandpa Miao. Although Uncle Miao and his family could eat lunch separately, they would still reunite with each other in the evening.


    Moreover, his mother had passed away early, leaving only an old father in the family. Three years ago, he had also married a new stepmother, and because of this, Zhou Wenjun was very dissatisfied with his father. Most of the people who came to the Miao Family for the new year''s holiday had also come, but he did not go back to his family.


    Qi Qi looked at Zhou Wenjun, who was sitting on the sofa teasing his son, and a flash of pity passed through her heart. Zhou Wenjun was a very honest man, and his thoughts were also very conservative; if the results of the test proved that this child really wasn''t his, would he be able to take it?


    Just as Seventh Seven was hesitating and struggling, Miao Yuqi''s mocking voice rang out, "Seventh Seventh Seven, why are you staring at your brother-in-law? Could it be that I''m getting older and am starting to think about men? "


    Miao Yuqi''s words were unpleasant to hear, causing embarrassment to flash across the faces of everyone present. However, because of Zhou Wenjun''s presence, it was hard to start teaching Miao Yuqi a lesson. After all, she is the daughter of a husband, and is considered a member of the Zhou family. He could say anything he wanted, so he wasn''t afraid of being laughed at. Your cousin was just joking, but she was dumb and she couldn''t even joke! "


    "It''s okay, I know my cousin has a mouth that doesn''t mean anything, so I won''t blame her. But my cousin has to be careful when she talks to others in the future. If someone else listens, it would be terrible if they say something and treat my cousin like a bad person."


    These words were said with generosity and propriety, but they were also well-founded. No one could refute them. Miao Yuqi was so infuriated that she wanted internal injuries, but it was not the time for her to retort.


    "Alright, alright, come over and eat!" In the end, it was Grandpa Miao who couldn''t stand the sight of his two granddaughters, so he invited them over for dinner.


    "Elder Cousin Tang, wait a moment. It seems that there is a strand of hair missing from the youngest nephew''s face." Miao Qiqi quickly walked to Zhou Wenjun''s side and carefully picked up a strand of hair that had fallen from the boy''s face.


    "Seven or seven is still as meticulous as ever. I didn''t even notice that my son''s face was covered in hair just now. It would be terrible if that brat gets caught and eats it." Zhou Wenjun simply smiled and thanked him sincerely.


    Qi Qi Qi smiled embarrassedly, then quickly said that it was just a small matter.


    Miao Yuqi glanced at the two people talking and laughing, then tugged on Zhou Wenjun''s arm, about to pull him towards the dining hall.


    He turned around and looked at his wife with a frown. Seeing the displeased expression on her face, he thought he was angry at himself for talking so much to her despite knowing that she was at loggerheads with Miao Qi. In the end, he felt more sorry for his wife, so he quickly shut his mouth and followed behind her.


    Before leaving, Miao Yuqi turned around and smiled complacently at Qi Qi.


    Qi Qi replied with a smile, and waited until the two of them had walked far away before he picked up the hair on his hand and looked at it. He then quickly put it into a small transparent plastic bag.


    She now had the hair of Zhou Wenjun and the child in her hands. If she wanted to prove that these two were related by blood, she only needed to walk to the paternity test center and everything would be clear.

    Because it was almost New Year''s, many units had entered the vacation mode in advance, and many businesses had also stopped handling matters. In order to get the results of the inspection as soon as possible, seven or seven people spent a little more money to handle the urgent matters.


    Fortunately, because she was studying abroad, Mr and Mrs Miao usually provided more living expenses and pocket money. Moreover, the original owner wasn''t someone who would spend money recklessly, and he still had quite a bit of spare money on hand. This could also make things easier for her in the future.


    The results of the inspection were released before New Year''s Eve. After receiving the call from the appraisal center, Qi Qi Qi found an excuse to go out and receive the report, but she didn''t dare to check at the assessment center for fear of encountering someone familiar. She was afraid that she would be unable to explain, so she casually found a caf¨¦ that was still open for business, ordered a cup of coffee, and patiently waited for the waiter to order the coffee before taking the report out from her bag.


    She skipped over the incomprehensible terms and directly jumped to the final part of the conclusion.


    On the paper, it was written: According to the results of DNA genetic marker typing, Zhou Wenjun is not supported as the biological father of Zhou Hao.


    Although he had some doubts in his heart, when he saw such an outcome, he was still so shocked that he nearly knocked over his cup.


    Miao Yuqi was a bold person. Although the society was quite open, this was, after all, just a local city, and she had a high opinion of a woman''s reputation. Otherwise, the original owner wouldn''t have fought her to the death just because of Miao Yuqi''s rumors.


    From the way Zhou Wenjun treated Zhou Hao, it was clear that he did not know that he had become a happy father. Although he was simple and honest, he was not someone who did not have a temper.


    After some thought, Qi Qi decided to not reveal her trump card unless it was a last resort. It wasn''t because she was worried about Miao Yuqi, but because if she did, the only ones injured would be the innocent Zhou Wenjun and Zhou Hao.


    Miao Yuqi''s reputation would definitely be ruined, but the Miao Family''s reputation would also be greatly affected.


    "Seventh, what a coincidence!"


    Just as Qi Qi Qi was deep in her thoughts, a familiar voice suddenly came from beside her.


    Qi Qi Qi quickly closed the report on the table and returned it to her bag as fast as she could. Then, she looked up at the person in front of her.


    "Chen Liang!" Why are you here? "


    When Chen Liang saw Qi Seventh''s anxious attempt to conceal his actions, he frowned slightly. However, taking into account that the two of them were still not very familiar with each other, he politely did not pursue the matter further.


    "My family was busy preparing for the new year, so I couldn''t help much. I didn''t want to help from home, so I decided to just hide out. What about you?" Is that why you came out? "


    "En, that''s right. I''ve already been out for a while, it''s almost time for me to return." Qi Qi didn''t want to interact more with Chen Liang, so she replied half-heartedly, picked up her bag and prepared to leave.


    "Seventh Brother, what happened to you? Is he hiding from me? Did I do something to offend you? " Seeing that Qi Qi Qi was about to leave, Chen Liang hurriedly reached out and grabbed her hand. Taking this chance, he also stood up and asked with an earnest expression.


    Qi Qi Qi struggled a bit, but was unable to free his hand from Chen Liang''s grasp, and could only helplessly surrender, "No, why do you think that? I''ve really been out for a long time. I''m afraid of worrying about my family, so can you let me go first? You''re pinching me! "


    Seeing Qi Qi Qi''s pitiful look, Chen Liang hurriedly let go. Realizing that he had lost control of himself, a trace of awkwardness flashed across his face.


    "Then... Can you sit with me a little longer? I have something to say to you. "


    If possible, the answer would be, "No."


    However, she looked around at the people who were already paying their respects to their table and could only helplessly sit down. She lowered her head and played with the bag in her hands, not even glancing at Chen Liang.


    "If you have something to say, just say it! If I don''t go back, my parents will be worried! "


    He could not help but smile helplessly, wanting to ask her to raise her head and look at him. However, after thinking it over, he chose to directly say the words that he had wanted to say the most in his heart, "Qiqi, I''ve discovered that I''ve fallen for you. Can you be my girlfriend?"


    Qi Qi Qi didn''t know what kind of crazy act Chen Liang was playing, but she had already confessed without any preparation. At this moment, she couldn''t help but look at him blankly.


    When Chen Liang saw Qi Seventh''s adorable appearance because of her words, he almost couldn''t hold back his hand and reached out to caress her head. Fortunately, his rationality stopped him in time.


    "Chen Liang, are you alright? What are you saying?"


    "I''m serious. Actually, when I was in the United States, I had already fallen in love with you, but I never dared to confess to you. This time, I met you when I was returning home, I feel that this is fate, this is a hint from heaven for me to express my feelings to you."


    These words were really sour, and Qi Qi Qi subconsciously touched her cheek. The confession of a pure and innocent boy really wasn''t something that an ordinary person could accept.


    "Sorry, I don''t like you, so you let me be your girlfriend but my answer is'' no ''."


    "Why? "My intuition can''t be wrong. When we were in America, you clearly liked me a little. Why did your attitude change so quickly after returning to the country?"


    Hearing this, Qi Hua frowned. "In the United States, you know how I liked you, but why didn''t you confess? Now that I don''t like you, you came to confess. Tell me, what are your thoughts?"


    "I... "I ¡­" Chen Liang was stunned by the question, momentarily at a loss of words. He did not know how to explain it.


    "I... "At that time, I thought we still had a lot of time, so we could take our time. Besides, we just arrived in the United States and we still have a lot of things to do. I didn''t want to find a girlfriend that quickly, for fear of delaying my studies, so ¡­"


    "Oh ~ ~ what you mean is that since you knew that I like you and the choice is yours, you thought that I could wait for you forever. When you feel that everything is ready, falling in love will not stop you from studying, so it''s not too late to come back and find me, right?"


    Chen Liang subconsciously wanted to deny it, but he didn''t know how to put it. The questions asked by Qi Qi were indeed what he had been thinking at that time.


    Chen Liang, let me say it again. No matter what happened in the past, I don''t like you now, so you don''t need to waste any more time on me. Just like you said, your parents sent you to study abroad in the hopes that you would stand out and not fall in love.


    Finishing this sentence, Qi Qi picked up her bag and walked out of the coffee shop without looking back, leaving the stunned Chen Liang sitting blankly on the spot.


    After leaving the coffee shop, Qi Qi took a taxi and rushed home. Before leaving the coffee shop today, she had come out on an excuse to take a walk. It had been so long, and she still didn''t know why she was in such a rush.


    This Chen Liang was truly despicable. Back then, when the original owner had liked him, he had been fearless, not willing to lower his head even while acting arrogantly. Now that he had changed his mind, what was the use of saying all this?


    When he returned home, his elders had already prepared a meal and were bowing to his ancestors. 77 quickly entered the room, put his bag in his room and returned to the living room.


    At this moment, Grandpa Miao was holding a stick of incense and mumbling to himself as he looked at the ancestral tablets. The New Year''s Eve meal that they were going to eat was also placed on the altar.


    Grandma Miao, Uncle Miao, Mr and Mrs Miao, and Mr and Mrs Miao, as well as Mr and Mrs Miao, stood behind Grandpa Miao with their hands clasped together. Mrs Miao shot a look at Qi Qi, signaling her to come over.


    Qi Seventh Seven stuck out his tongue and quietly stood at the back. When he raised his head, he could just see the back of Zhou Wenjun''s and Miao Yuqi''s heads.


    At this moment, Zhou Wenjun was holding Zhou Hao in his hands. He was gently holding the child''s delicate hands and teaching him a farewell with a smile.


    The soft corner of Qi Qi Qi''s heart was hit by this scene. She had lived in an orphanage since she was young, and had suffered the cold treatment of others. If she exposed Zhou Hao''s past, then Miao Yuqi would stop wanting this child. Zhou Wenjun definitely wouldn''t help others raise this child.


    No, that won''t happen. Even if Miao Yuqi was to put her heart into it, Uncle Miao wouldn''t let his own grandson be abandoned.


    "Seventh Brother, what are you thinking about? "One moment he''s nodding, the next moment he''s shaking his head." "Why have you been acting so secretive these past few days? Didn''t I say I was just going for a walk in the afternoon? Why did you come back so late? I almost missed paying my respects to my ancestor."


    Noticing that no one was paying any attention to them, he quickly wrapped his arms around Mrs Miao''s waist and whispered, "Aiya, Mum, stop reciting it. Didn''t I just rush back in time?" It''s the new year, please spare me this time. "


    "You!" Mrs Miao pushed seven or seven of Bai Jing''s forehead with her fingers. With a faint smile, she gave up.


    After paying their respects to their ancestors, everyone then set out to withdraw the altar, forming a table and beginning to eat at New Year''s Eve meal.


    Grandma Miao was worried that the food would get cold, so she hurriedly carried the dishes back to the kitchen and heated them up after eating her stomach.


    Mrs Miao wanted to go in and help, but was pushed out by Grandma Miao. She said that the kitchen was small and it was just heating up a dish. She would be fine by herself.


    "Little Zhou, when we finish eating dinner in a while, bring the two of them back home. It wouldn''t be right if you didn''t go back to see your dad on New Year''s Eve." Grandpa Miao picked up the wine cup and sipped a mouthful of it. He picked up a pair of chopsticks and chewed it before swallowing it. Only then did he look at Zhou Wenjun''s explanation.


    Zhou Wenjun lowered his head and teased his son in his arms. Without raising his head, he said in a muffled voice, "Ever since he broke his promise and married that woman, he''s no longer my father. I don''t want to go back."


    "Little Zhou, don''t be so stubborn as a child. Your mother passed away early, and your father only found himself an old friend after guarding for so many years. You can''t blame him." He did not know much about the family''s affairs, but he was clear on the family''s character. Having been a honest and honest man for so many years, being a father and mother as well as bringing up children, it was not wrong for him to find a partner for himself as he aged.


    "Before my mom died, she told him not to find another one, and he also agreed. As a man, he doesn''t keep his word. I don''t have a father like him."


    He was such a person, yet he was the one who pushed everything to the end. His father had been a widower for so many years, and had only found a partner when he was old. His reaction was so huge.

 C83

    "Qi Qi, why are you staring at your brother-in-law?" Miao Yuqi could not help but ask when she saw Qi Qi Qi staring at her man with a strange expression.


    It wasn''t that her heart was heavy with doubts, but her eyes were really too strange. She kept feeling that there was a lot of pity in her eyes. Wasn''t it just a conflict between father and son? There were a lot of contradictions between families, was there a need for her to pity them?


    "Nothing, I just feel that brother-in-law is really good to his nephew, feeding him so smoothly, there are very few men who can do it!"


    Miao Yuqi glanced at Zhou Wenjun. When she saw the smile on his face due to Qi Qi''s words, she snorted coldly, "All you know is how to carry a child all day. You don''t even know how to earn more money outside. You''re nothing!"


    Zhou Wenjun put a piece of red-braised pork chop into Miao Yuqi''s bowl and gently comforted her, "Now that the child is still young and your family is leaving a person to you, you''ll have a hard time. When the child is older, I''ll find a part-time job and we''ll definitely live a good life together in the future."


    The moment Zhou Wenjun finished his words, Grandpa Miao smiled as he took another sip from his wine cup. This grandson of his was chosen by him. He was honest, diligent, capable and even doting on his daughter-in-law.


    "Yuqi, you better stop being blessed by the heavens. If Little Zhou really finds a part-time job at this time, and is too busy to stay at home all day, then you should be crying. He loves you, this is your fortune."


    Miao Yuqi looked up at the crowd and lowered her eyes. Without saying a word, she picked up the piece of Red Braised Meat from the bowl with her chopsticks and threw it into Zhou Wenjun''s bowl. She muttered, "This Red Braised Meat is too fat. I wonder if I''ll lose weight!"


    Seeing Miao Yuqi''s actions, Qi Qi raised her eyebrows and looked away, no longer looking at them. It was New Year''s Eve, and she didn''t want to ruin her good mood because of Miao Yuqi.


    After dinner, the whole family sat around the living room to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Although there wasn''t any special show, it was just a show for the new year, and no one really cared about whether the show was good or not.


    Just as everyone was taking home some daily necessities and eating some snacks, Seventh Seven heard Miao Yuqi''s cell phone vibrate a few times.


    She pretended to look over. Miao Yuqi took out her phone and took a look. After a while, she got up and went to the kitchen. Everyone was happily chatting, so they didn''t pay much attention to her actions.


    After seeing Miao Shiqi enter the kitchen and push the door open, Qi Qi got up and walked to the refrigerator outside the kitchen door. She opened the refrigerator door and pretended to be looking for something while her ears remained straight as she carefully distinguished the faint sound coming from inside the kitchen.


    She had an intuition that the person who had contacted Miao Yuqi was likely to be her lover.


    Sure enough, the faint sound of voices coming from the kitchen confirmed his conjecture.


    "How could I come out on New Year''s Eve? Stop fooling around!"


    It was silent for a while before Miao Yuqi''s reluctant voice sounded again.


    "Alright, alright, I''ll try, but I''m not sure if I''ll be able to get out. You can wait at the school gate near our house first."


    After hearing the key details, Qi Qi could not help but take out a small box of ice cream from the fridge. She went ahead of Miao Yuqi and sat back down on the sofa.


    When Mrs Miao saw the ice cream in Qi Qi Qi''s hand, she reached out to grab it. "It''s such a cold day, eating this kind of thing hurts your stomach. Don''t eat it. Mom will peel an apple for you. It''s delicious and healthy!"


    Seventh Seven also hadn''t been thinking about eating. With Mrs Miao stopping him, she did the same. As Mrs Miao was peeling apples, Seventh Seven glanced towards the kitchen a few more times and wondered why Miao Yuqi hadn''t come out yet.


    A few minutes later, Miao Yuqi came out of the kitchen, her right hand tightly gripping her left arm. Her eyebrows were knitted tightly together as she shouted out for Chen Dazhi at the kitchen door.


    "Mom, help me find some hemostatic tape. I''ve cut it."


    Chen Da Qin quickly stood up from the sofa and walked to Miao Yuqi''s side. She raised her hand and saw that blood was still oozing out of the wound, she couldn''t help but yell out. Fortunately, the cut was only the length of a fingernail and it wasn''t too deep.


    Granny Miao quickly took out a few pieces of hemostatic tape from the drawer and followed behind Chen Daxin.


    Chen Daxin took a piece of kitchen paper from the kitchen and dipped it in water. She first carefully wiped off the dried blood stains around the wound, then took the hemostatic adhesive tape from Granny Miao''s hand and wrapped it around Miao Yuqi''s finger.


    Although the others didn''t go over due to the small size of the kitchen door, they all stood up with worried expressions, especially Zhou Wenjun. With a child in his arms, he couldn''t help but stretch out his neck to look over.


    Only after seeing that the wound was not serious did he heave a sigh of relief.


    "Seriously, why did you cut your finger so easily?" This new year seeing blood, how unlucky! " Chen Dazhi reproached with a pained heart.


    "I just wanted to cut an orange for eating. My hands were a bit slippery, so I couldn''t hold it properly. That''s why I cut it."


    Upon hearing Miao Yuqi''s excuse, the corners of Qi Qi''s lips curled up. She thought to herself, "Miao Yuqi should be able to get out of here fast enough. For the sake of meeting her lover, she''s actually willing to see blood on New Year''s Eve."


    After wrapping up the wounds, everyone returned to their seats on the sofa. As Miao Yuqi sat down, Zhou Wenjun held the child and walked over, asking her if it still hurt.


    Miao Yuqi shooed him away in disgust and told him to sit far away. She said that this was a single person''s sofa and that it was very crowded.


    After sitting for a while longer, Miao Yuqi stood up, pretending to be very sleepy as she said, "Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, I wonder if I just lost a bit too much blood. I''m feeling a bit dizzy right now, so I want to go back and sleep first."


    Since she was already injured, naturally no one would spare her. However, Miao Yuqi wanted to return, and Zhou Wenjun also stood up, wanting to return with her. His wife was injured, and his child was still young, so no one stopped him.


    However, if Zhou Wenjun went back with them, then Miao Yuqi''s show would go to waste.


    Qi Qi Jian looked calmly at Miao Yuqi to see what excuse she would use to keep Zhou Wenjun away.


    "What are you doing?" It''s a deal. Where are we all going to keep watch over the year? Furthermore, it''s so cold outside, what if I get cold? You can sleep here tonight, I''ll be dizzy, and at night I''ll be afraid that the child will cry, so I''ll wake up in the middle of the night to feel uncomfortable. "


    Zhou Wenjun looked at his son, who was in his arms. By now, his son was completely asleep, and his face was red. Hearing Miao Yuqi''s words, Zhou Wenjun was a bit hesitant in his heart.


    "You should also sleep here. Grandpa and Grandma have already prepared a room for you!"


    "Why can''t you understand human speech? "Like I said, I''m feeling dizzy right now. The child will definitely get up in the middle of the night to drink his milk. With him crying and making a ruckus, how am I supposed to rest?"


    Seeing Miao Yuqi''s rage, Zhou Wenjun couldn''t continue to insist. He could only warn her to be careful on the road.


    Miao Yuqi gave a casual reply before opening the door and leaving.


    Zhou Wenjun carried the child back to their seats and sat down. They had spoken quietly earlier, so everyone thought it was the couple saying their goodbyes, so they didn''t pay much attention to it.


    With the excuse that he needed to go back to his room early to sleep, Qi Qi Qi entered the room and closed the door before quickly going to the window to take a look outside.


    Sure enough, Miao Yuqi was seen hurrying in the direction of the school.


    One was in the middle of the night, while the other was a young girl. It was impossible for Mr and Mrs Miao to let her out, and the other was on the New Year''s Eve. Everyone was hiding at home watching TV, and there were few people on the streets.


    However, if he didn''t follow them in the past, he wouldn''t know who the person who met Miao Yuqi was. Although she had a suspect in her heart, she had yet to personally witness it. What if Miao Yuqi had other backup plans?


    Suddenly, Qi Qi thought of something. She remembered that she had met Chen Liang at the cafe. One was called Chen Liang, and the other was called Chen Dong. They looked so similar, and even if they weren''t blood brothers, they would definitely be related to each other.


    Chen Liang was, after all, someone the original owner liked. He had just confessed to her two days ago, and now that she was involved with him, wouldn''t she be able to explain it clearly at that time?


    After thinking for a while, he couldn''t think of any other way. In the end, Qi Qi Qi still took out her phone and found a good wishes message that everyone sent to Chen Liang on New Year''s Eve.


    If Chen Liang were to find an excuse to speak after receiving this message, then she would no longer leave any traces of information. This way, she would probably not cause too much trouble.


    Not long after the message was sent out, a reply came.


    "Happy New Year, I didn''t expect you to send me a blessing message. Although it was sent in groups, I''m still very happy!"


    It was really pure, just that it was a little too numb. The muscles on Qi Hua''s face twitched, and after thinking of an excuse, he also replied.


    "Are you still awake?" Is it the same family that keeps watch over the new year? "


    "Yes, we used to be family, but my brother was bored and went to play with his friend. My dad said there was no point, so he left. I''m in my room, in a daze from boredom!"


    It was like he wanted nothing more than to explain what he had done and eaten all day long.


    "So you have a brother. A blood related brother?" I thought you were an only child! "


    "Yes, he''s my blood brother. Although my brother doesn''t treat others very reliably, he is still very loyal to me."


    "Is that so? That''s good. I really envy other people who have brothers and sisters, so we can play together since we were young. We don''t have to be so lonely. "Oh yeah, you''re called Chen Liang, your brother wouldn''t be called Chen Dong right?"


    Qi Qi Qi lightly bit her lips as she tried to think of a way to naturally lead the topic to Chen Dong.


    "That''s right, my brother is called Chen Dong. My dad said that the two of us together are pillars of the country. I think we are very unlucky, don''t you?"


    "It can''t be, this means that your dad has great expectations for you two brothers. Your learning is so good, your brother must be very outstanding, right? Is he like you, also welcomed by girls in school?"


    "My brother doesn''t like studying, so he went into business very early on. I don''t know if he was welcomed by girls before, but now, it doesn''t matter how popular he is."


    "Why?"


    "My brother has been married for almost a year. If he is still messing around outside, my dad will definitely break his legs. "Actually, our home tutors were very strict. That''s why I didn''t dare ¡­"


    At this point, what should have been known was already known. As for Chen Liang''s final ambiguous explanation, she pretended not to have seen it.


    "It''s getting late. I have to get up early tomorrow. I''m going to sleep now. Bye bye."


    After typing this line of words, Seventh Seven left the app, no longer caring about what Chen Liang would reply with.

 C84

    Chen Dong was indeed Chen Liang''s older brother, and he had been married a year ago. The time of their marriage was almost the same. Was this really a coincidence? Could Zhou Hao be Chen Dong''s son? Because Chen Dong didn''t want to marry Miao Yuqi, she could only helplessly choose Zhou Wenjun.


    Then why did she have to give birth to this child? Since the child couldn''t make her become Lady Chen, then based on Miao Yuqi''s personality, she should have just directly killed the child. Why did she choose to marry someone else?


    Seven Fields lay on her bed, tossing and turning, unable to come up with an answer. She decided not to think about it anymore, but luckily, she still had to stay here for a while longer. Miao Yuqi had so many braids; she didn''t believe that she wouldn''t be able to catch them before she left.


    Faintly sleeping, Qi Qi once again returned to the garbage dump, the surroundings were pitch black. Mu Chen rushed over and pushed her down, then raised his head, and smiled as he asked: "Are you alright?"


    Just as she was about to answer, she saw that Mu Chen''s forehead was starting to bleed. She wanted to reach out to his wound in panic and slow down his rate of loss of blood, but it was useless as it was completely useless. The more she tried, the faster the blood flowed, and very quickly, half of her body was soaked in blood.


    Mu Chen''s smiling face became paler and paler as it became more and more empty. Slowly, it turned into a transparent ball of air. She wanted to reach out to hug it, but she couldn''t. She raised her hands to look and the blood on her hands also slowly disappeared.


    She suddenly stood up and yelled out Mu Chen''s name, but there was no response. Suddenly, she heard a gunshot and turned her head to look, only to see Mu Chen lying in a pool of blood, motionless. Fang Zhijun stood beside Mu Chen, one foot stepping on his injured back, the other holding a gun, sneering at her.


    "Mu Chen!"


    Qi Qi let out a scream and sat up abruptly. Opening her eyes, she realized that this was not a rubbish dump. It was clearly Miao Qi''s room.


    She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. She stretched out her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead. She felt a faint throbbing pain on her heart. It was not obvious, but it was extremely uncomfortable.


    She quietly sat there and slowly breathed for a long time. Only then did she feel the throbbing pain slowly lessen and then disappear.


    He covered his face and buried his head in his knees, silently wiping away the tears that had welled up in the corners of his eyes. Mu Chen! It had been a long time since she thought of this person, but every time she thought of him, her heart would be clogged up. Where the hell did he go? Did something really happen?


    "Seventh, Seventh, are you alright? I heard you scream just now."


    There was a light knock on the door, along with a worried question from Mrs Miao.


    Qi Qi got off the bed, put on her slippers, and went to the door of the room to open it. During this time, her hand was still pressed on the spot where her heart was, because the movement had caused her to feel a slight stabbing pain, as if a tendon inside her had been pulled out.


    After opening the door, she covered her heart and sat back down on the bed. She smiled at Mrs Miao and explained, "Mom, I''m fine. I just had a nightmare and was scared."


    However, Mrs Miao''s worried expression did not disappear because of Qi Qi''s explanation. Instead, she stared intently at her hand pressing against her chest. "Qi Qi, your heart hurts?"


    "Hmm, when I woke up, I felt a spasm inside. There''s nothing much happening now, probably because I was frightened."


    Qi Qi disapprovingly comforted Mrs Miao. At this moment, all she was thinking about was the sudden disappearance of Mu Chen. How could she pay attention to Mrs Miao''s slightly uneasy expression?


    "How is it? Have you asked your brother? " Miao Yuqi rolled onto her back on the bed. After her breathing calmed down, she grabbed a glass of water from the bedside table. Because of her thirst, she drank it all in one go.


    "What?" Chen Dong was still immersed in the afterglow of his passion. For a moment, he didn''t understand what Miao Yuqi was asking.


    "What?" Have you forgotten? Last time we met, didn''t I remind you to be careful of my cousin? Did you or did you not ask your brother if he was interested in my younger cousin? "


    After returning from the hotel the other day, he made a few insinuations to Chen Liang, asking him if he had a girlfriend. That kid faltered for a while, but then he saw Miao Yuqi asking questions, so he replied honestly and honestly, saying that he didn''t.


    His own brother clearly understood that although his attitude was ambiguous, this could only mean that he had someone he liked. The relationship must not be confirmed yet, otherwise, he wouldn''t say that he didn''t have a girlfriend.


    "I''ve already asked. That brat doesn''t have a girlfriend yet, and he hasn''t even said a single word. Don''t worry about him blindly."


    Miao Yuqi rolled her eyes and snorted coldly, "Of course it''s best if it isn''t. My cousin is not the type of person to do things easily. It''s only been a short time abroad, and she''s already getting mixed up with a man. No one knows just how many men and women she''s on intimate terms with!" You made your little brother sound so promising, but when the time comes, don''t let my cousin ruin your future. "


    Originally, Chen Dong didn''t care much, but when he heard that Miao Qiqi was involved in a relationship between a man and a woman, as well as Miao Qiqi''s character, he immediately became more vigilant. If Chen Liang really liked a woman like Miao Qi and ruined his own future, it wouldn''t be a joke.


    "Are you serious? Is your cousin really that reckless?"


    "That''s a lie. I''m her cousin after all. If she was innocent, why would I create her rumors?" Miao Yuqi lowered her head as a cold smile appeared on her face. Hmph! She actually dared to humiliate her. Right now, she was letting that lass Miao Qiyu have a taste of what it was like to be talked about behind her back.


    Chen Dong frowned. He wasn''t in the mood to fool around anymore. He sat up, picked up the clothes that were randomly thrown on the ground and put them on.


    "I''ll go back first. If you''re tired, you can stay here tonight. I''ve already paid for the room."


    Seeing that Chen Dong was in such a hurry to leave, Miao Yuqi understood what was going on in her heart. She sat up, hugging her blanket, and softly reminded him, "When you were advising your brother, your tone was a little better. He''s at the age of a rebellion, so if you put too much emphasis on his words, you''ll make him fight against you.


    "I know, you still have a way." When Chen Dong heard this, he turned around, grabbed Miao Yuqi, and bit her lips. After he was satisfied, he stood up and left the hotel.


    Miao Yuqi lay on her bed and grinned a few times. She had achieved her goal, and had just experienced another intense battle. At this moment, she also felt sleepy. She turned around and fell into a deep sleep.


    At this moment, how could she have imagined that the one she would hurt would be herself?


    He knocked on Chen Liang''s door, but there was no response. He knew that Chen Liang was already asleep, and upon further consideration, he realized that this was not the best time to talk about such matters, so he could only head back to his room, preoccupied with his own thoughts. He planned to find a time tomorrow to properly discuss the matter of finding Chen Liang''s girlfriend with him.


    The next day was the first day of the new year. The Chen brothers Chen Dong and Chen Liang were summoned to light fireworks in the early morning. The door was opened, hoping that the new year would be extremely popular.


    When they were done, the door rang. Chen Dong pulled at Chen Liang''s arm, using his eyes to signal him to follow. Chen Liang followed Chen Dong to the study room on the second floor, his head full of questions.


    Once the door was closed, Chen Dong asked straightforwardly without wasting any time, "Do you like a guy called Miao Qi Qi?"


    Chen Liang was stunned upon hearing this. It was true that he liked seven or seven, but he didn''t say anything about this matter. How did his brother know?


    When he saw Chen Liang''s expression, how could he not understand? He then recalled Miao Yuqi''s words, and angrily said, "What kind of person don''t you like, but you like a man and woman who have such a chaotic relationship? You''ve been studying for so many years already, don''t you know what it means to marry a wife? Just say that your brother is playing outside, but he would never bring those women home, marry their wives, and marry them. This would benefit the three generations.


    The only thing that was imprinted into Chen Liang''s mind was that ''Who are you to dislike, but you just have to like a man and woman that are in such a chaotic relationship''. He was very clear on who the person was, how did it end up in his brother''s mouth, becoming so unbearable?


    "Brother, did you get it wrong? Miao Qiqi is a well-behaved girl with a very upright style. How could she mess around with a relationship between a man and a woman?"


    "How could it be fake when she said it by her own cousin? Tell me, how long have you known her for? You don''t even believe what I, your big brother, said. From this, you can see just how strong her fox like martial arts is!"


    "Seventh Cousin Sister?!" "If she''s really a cousin, then why would she say that about her cousin? Bro, were you cheated by someone?"


    Chen Dong smacked his hand on Chen Liang''s head, and said resentfully, "Your brother has been in the celebration ground for so many years, how could he have been tricked by others? I sincerely advise you, you don''t appreciate my kindness! "Fine, since you don''t believe me, then just go ahead and have it with that woman. Let''s see if you''ll regret it in the future!"


    After saying this, Chen Dong slammed the door and left, leaving Chen Liang standing in the study room in a daze.


    Chen Liang understood Chen Dong''s personality. Although he was out making a ruckus, he was sincere towards his family. If he had no proof, he wouldn''t say it to him like this today. Since he said it was so categorical, then wouldn''t it mean that he was ¡­


    Chen Liang did not dare continue to think, how could such a pure girl like Qi Qi be like what his brother had said? This was not good, he could not just listen to his brother''s one-sided words, he had to ask Qi Qi Qi to clarify things.


    After making up his mind, Chen Liang picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to Seventh Seven.


    77 received the message from Chen Liang while eating breakfast. Last night, because of guarding the year, everyone slept rather late, so this breakfast was also late. Only, the atmosphere at today''s table was a little depressing.


    Mr and Mrs Miao appeared to be preoccupied. Although Grandpa Miao and Granny Miao''s expressions were normal, they were old. They had slept late last night and were in a rather bad mood today.


    After looking at the message and thinking it over, Qi Qi decided to go out and see Chen Liang. After yesterday''s probing, she already knew that Miao Yuqi went out in the middle of the night to date Chen Dong, but she still wasn''t sure about their current relationship. If she could get some more information from Chen Liang, it would be great.

    "Dad, mom, I have an appointment with a classmate to go play. I might not be back until dinner time. If I come back late, then don''t wait for me." After finishing her meal, Qi Qi wiped her mouth and told her father and mother about the matter. After that, she stood up and prepared to go back to her room to get her bag.


    "Qi Qi, just tell your classmate that you''re busy right now. Later, you and your parents will go to the hospital together."


    "Hospital? What''s wrong? Mom, are you not feeling well? " Qi Qi Qi turned around and exclaimed in surprise. Previously, she hadn''t noticed that Mr and Mrs Miao''s health wasn''t good either.


    "We are fine. Didn''t you just say yesterday that your heart was beating? Go to the hospital with mom to check, so you can be at ease. "


    She tried her best to say these words in a calm tone. However, as someone who had gone through so many missions, how could she not know that Mrs Miao was hiding something from her? However, since Mrs Miao did not want to say it now, she would not force her.


    "Alright, I''ll change the time with my classmate. I can leave anytime. Call me when you have enough."


    Finished speaking, Qi Qi turned around and went into the living room. Sitting on the sofa, she took out her phone to send a message to Chen Liang, telling him that she had something on her mind and couldn''t go.


    When Mrs Miao saw that her daughter had agreed to go to the hospital so easily without asking anything, her face not only didn''t look any better, but turned even paler instead, she turned to look at the frowning Mr Miao and asked softly, "Is this attitude of Qi Qi a little strange? Has she been feeling unwell since long ago and hidden it from us? Now that we''ve asked her to go to the hospital, she''s being so cooperative?"


    He put his arm around her shoulders and patted her gently, comforting her, "Don''t worry too much. Maybe this child just wants us to be at ease, so he didn''t object to going to the hospital. When we had this child, the doctor said that although your family has a hereditary heart attack, it doesn''t mean that every child has a genetic history. Just like you, isn''t everything fine?" It''s not reasonable for the disease to occur after so many years. Maybe it''s because you''re too tired to have any discomfort during the new year, so don''t scare yourself before the results of the examination come out. "


    Hearing Mr Miao''s comforting words, Mrs Miao''s anxious heart finally calmed down a little. She reached out to pat her chest and sighed. "Ever since last night, when Seventh Seven said that her heart ached, I''ve been worried. I''ve been afraid that this child is the same as her maternal grandma. We only have this little girl. What if something happens to her? What should we do?"


    Mr Miao sighed and raised his head to look at his daughter, who was playing with her mobile phone. He didn''t say anything, but a trace of fear unconsciously appeared in his eyes.


    On the way to the hospital, Qi Qi could feel an unusually oppressive atmosphere in the car. She glanced at her mother, who was still deep in thought, and then looked at her father, who had a serious expression on his face. "Why is there such an expression on my face? It can''t be that I''m dying from some serious illness while not knowing about it?"


    Qi Qi''s original intention was to use this joke to ease the atmosphere. Who knew that the moment she said those words, Mr Miao''s car tilted and he almost bumped into the road''s green belt.


    Seven to Seven finally managed to stabilize themselves from the braking force. Before they could say anything, their mouths were twisted by Mrs Miao, who was standing beside them.


    "What nonsense are you talking about? Just say whatever''s unlucky." Mrs Miao reprimanded him before putting her hands together and muttering to herself, "Children speak without restraint. Children speak without restraint. All gods must not take it seriously."


    "A Steady Happiness" is already the third fragment of the new year. We welcome everyone to start reading it! "


    The more Mr and Mrs Miao acted this way, the more puzzled he became.


    He was obviously hiding something from her. Could it be that Miao Qi was suffering from some sort of hidden disease?


    Qi Qi Qi shifted her gaze back and forth between Mr and Mrs Miao. Only now did she realize that their gazes had been avoiding hers the entire time.


    Before Qi Qi could figure out what was going on, Mr Miao''s car had already stopped in the hospital parking lot.


    After getting off the car, Mrs Miao led Seventh Seven directly to the cardiac surgery. Mr Miao followed behind them as he made a phone call to confirm something.


    When they arrived outside the consultation room, Mrs Miao asked Qi Qi to wait outside before knocking on the door. It was only a short while after they entered that she led a doctor out.


    When the doctor came out, he saw Seventh Seven smiling. He reached out his hand to shake hands with Grandpa Miao, who was standing beside Seventh Seven, and said enthusiastically, "Old Miao, we haven''t seen each other for almost ten years. You still look so young."


    "No, no, you''re still the best at maintaining yourself!" "We''re old classmates now. We''ll reminisce later. Today, I brought my daughter here to check on you, so I''ll have to trouble you to take care of this matter."


    "Yes, yes, look at me, I almost delayed my business. I''ve almost understood the situation. I''ll take you guys for a thorough examination. When the results are out, I''ll tell you in detail."


    After that, they followed the doctor back and forth between the instruments.


    After tossing and turning for the entire afternoon, they finally came to an end. Mrs Miao led Seventh Seven to a western restaurant near the hospital while Mr Miao and the doctor entered the office.


    During this period of time, he had tried seven or seven times, but Mrs Miao had always changed the subject.


    When Mr Miao finally returned, Mrs Miao rushed over to greet him. She whispered something to him, and Mr Miao''s brow furrowed almost imperceptibly as he glanced at her. He shook his head slightly at Mrs Miao, who immediately turned pale.


    At this point, there was no way for her to not understand. There must be something wrong with her body, and it was definitely a huge problem. That was why Mr and Mrs Miao had anxiously brought her to the hospital, their expressions full of panic.


    Even after Mr and Mrs Miao had taken their seats, he was in no hurry to speak. Instead, he lifted the glass teapot on the table and poured them each a cup of tea.


    "Dad, mom, just say what you want to say. Don''t hide anything from me. I think I still have the right to know the truth given my own condition."


    Hearing this, Mrs Miao''s eyes reddened and she immediately lowered her head. Mr Miao, on the other hand, held the teacup in front of him. His fingers tightened and tightened, but he did not make a sound.


    Noticing their reactions, Qi Qi Qi immediately understood what was going on. The body of the original owner probably couldn''t survive for a long time, and thinking about what the original owner had said when he came to commission the mission, and the throbbing pain in his heart last night, he vaguely had a guess.


    It was probably because the original owner''s heart had been affected that he had been angered to death by Miao Yuqi. However, the information she had received did not say that the original owner had been angered to death.


    That''s right, Chen Liang, the original owner had been secretly in love with Chen Liang for a long time, and Chen Dong and Miao Yuqi were lovers. If Miao Yuqi spread some rumors to Chen Liang through Chen Dong, then Chen Liang would question the original owner.


    However, was it intentional or unintentional for Miao Yuqi to spread these rumors? If it was intentional, how did she know that she was secretly in love with Chen Liang?


    However, his voice was unusually low as he explained, "Your mother and I have never mentioned to you how your grandmother passed away. Your mother had a genetic history of heart disease, and your grandmother died from a heart attack, so we were worried that you might have inherited this gene. However, your mother has always been in good health, and when you were born, we checked that there was no problem with your body, so we neglected your health after all these years."


    "Dad, are you saying that I found out that there was a heart attack?"


    He nodded reluctantly, but immediately explained, "But, Seventh Seven, you don''t have to worry too much. I had a detailed conversation with Dr. Chen just now, and he said that you have a narrow aorta, and the situation isn''t too serious, and as long as you maintain a pleasant mood and don''t get too emotional, there won''t be any major problems. As long as you don''t have to undergo surgery for the rest of your life, it''s fine."


    After calmly listening to Mr Miao''s narration, a relaxed smile quickly appeared on his face. "I thought it would be that serious!" "Dad, mom, don''t worry, I''ll be fine, this is my most adept ability to adjust my mood, and your daughter, I, have already safely grown up. This means that I''m blessed and will be able to live well in the future."


    Hearing this, Mrs Miao raised her head and looked at Qi Qi with a pained and gratified expression. Her physical examination had revealed such a problem. Not only was she not as self-pitying as an ordinary child, but she was actually comforting them instead. As parents, they weren''t even as good as this child.


    Mrs Miao reached out to stroke his long hair, a smile playing at the corner of her mouth as tears welled up in her eyes. "That''s right. Our family has a fortune of seven to seven. Such a cute girl will definitely be able to live a happy life peacefully."


    Only when Mr and Mrs Miao had calmed down did the family leave the coffee shop, get into a car and drive in the direction of their home.


    Arriving near his home, Qi Qi looked out the window and actually saw Chen Liang standing at the intersection near his home, pacing back and forth, seemingly hesitating whether or not to enter.


    Qi Qi glanced at Mr Miao in the driver''s seat and then at Mrs Miao. Seeing that neither of them seemed to have noticed Chen Liang, she gently tugged on his sleeve, gesturing for her to look towards where Chen Liang was standing.


    "Mom, my classmate is over there. He seems to have come to look for me. I''m going down to take a look."


    However, based on his daughter''s appearance, it seemed like she knew how he had found her here. Thinking that his daughter had grown up and needed an independent space, she nodded her head and told Mr Miao to pull over, but before she got out of the car, she did not forget to remind him not to go too far. She quickly called her if there was anything uncomfortable about her.


    After repeatedly promising to take good care of herself, Mrs Miao finally let her go.


    Chen Liang didn''t expect to run into seven or seven people here. He stood blankly on the spot until Mrs Miao rolled down the window and greeted him. Only then did he hurriedly say, as if he had just woken up from a dream, "Greetings Auntie!"


    Chen Liang''s reaction clearly pleased Mrs Miao. She smiled and waved goodbye to them and urged the still worried Mr Miao to return home.

 C86

    Qi Qi Qi frowned and looked at Chen Liang who had remained silent. He raised his hand to look at the time on his watch. They had been sitting like this for nearly ten minutes without saying a word.


    "Chen Liang, you''ve come to find me, do you have nothing to say to me?" "If you don''t have it, then I''ll leave first!"


    Chen Liang abruptly raised his head to look at her. After seeing the impatience on her face, his originally thirty percent guilt had suddenly increased to seventy percent. The reason why there were still thirty percent left over was entirely due to his understanding of his brother.


    "Seventh Seven, I ¡­ I really don''t believe what my brother said, but I''ve been with my brother for so many years, and I know his character. If he didn''t have any proof, he wouldn''t have spread the rumours around, so in order to be safe, I think it''s better to ask for it myself. "


    Seeing that Chen Liang was speaking in earnest, Qi Seven sat up straighter, pretending to be listening attentively.


    As Chen Liang thought of the questions he would ask next, he raised the cup of water by his side and gulped down the entire contents. Even so, his throat still felt extremely dry.


    He coughed heavily before asking, "My brother said that once you are overseas, you will be entangled with a lot of men ¡­" When he saw her right eyebrow slightly twitch, the last part of his words subconsciously rose higher, but he still insisted on asking this question, "The reason I asked you out today was to ask if what my brother said was true."


    Qi Qi didn''t answer immediately after she finished listening. Instead, she lowered her head and picked up the teaspoon from the small plate. She poked into the white coffee cup and slowly stirred the coffee in front of her.


    Only when Chen Liang''s heart was starting to regret his reckless actions today did she raise her head and ask him, "Before last night, I didn''t seem to know that you had an older brother, nor did I know of someone called Chen Dong. How did your elder brother know that I was causing trouble outside?"


    "My brother ¡­" My brother said he heard it from your cousin. "


    "Oh ~ ~ ~ As far as I know, my cousin has never been out of the country. Which eye did she see it with? If what you said was true, that I was having a relationship with someone outside, do you think I would be stupid enough to tell others about it? Also, you and I seem to be in the same school. Do you think that my cousin in China would be clearer than you on whether or not I have a relationship between a man and a woman? In the end, why would my cousin say that to your brother? What is their relationship? "


    Qi Qi Qi asked a few questions in succession, and Chen Liang only felt sweat oozing out from his forehead layer by layer. In the end, he wished that there was a hole in the ground so that he could crawl into it.


    Yes, he was the one who was abroad with Seventh Seven. He knew better than anyone what Seventh Seven was like abroad. Why would he suspect a girl he liked just because of a few words from his brother?


    He was too rash. Qi Qi had said that she didn''t like him in the first place, so wouldn''t he make her hate him even more after what he had done today?


    "I ¡­" Seventh, I ¡­ "I''m sorry!" Chen Liang was speechless. No matter how much guilt he felt, he could only use these three words to express it.


    "No, you don''t need to apologize to me. On the contrary, I should be thanking you, because if you didn''t ask me today, I wouldn''t have known that my cousin had hurt me in such a way. I haven''t had any enmity with her recently, so I should have known about her extramarital affair.


    As he was speaking, he suddenly covered his chest with his hands. His brows were furrowed tightly, and he looked to be in extreme pain.


    Chen Liang didn''t know what was going on with Seventh Seven, but he immediately stood up and walked to her side to crouch down, wanting to support her hand, but he didn''t dare. He was at a loss for what to do for a while, and finally decided to hold onto her elbow and anxiously ask, "Seventh Seven, what''s wrong with you? How could this happen all of a sudden? "


    "I have some emergency medicine my mom put in my bag. I said if my chest feels uncomfortable, just quickly swallow one pill and it will relieve the symptoms. Help me get it."


    Chen Liang did not dare to delay any longer. He quickly went over to her and took the bag from her, opened it and started rummaging through it. Luckily, he quickly found the medicine and hastily glanced at the words on the medicine box, only to see that there were several words written on it: Nitroglycerin Tablets.


    Although Chen Liang did not study medicine, his grandfather had a heart attack, so he was not unfamiliar with this medicine.


    Holding the medicine, he opened his mouth in shock, then looked at the way Qi Hua was clutching his chest, unable to believe that the girl in front of him was having a heart attack. However, at this moment, Qi Qi Qi was bending over in pain, almost lying on the table.


    Chen Liang hurriedly suppressed the shock and bewilderment in his heart. Opening the lid, he poured out a pill and placed it at the corner of his mouth.


    Qi Qi didn''t open her mouth, but took the pill from him and placed it in her palm. She pretended to put it in her mouth, but in reality, the pill slid down her palm and into her sleeve.


    And Chen Liang, who had been shaken by the fact that he had a heart attack, had his mind completely blank. How could he possibly have noticed this small action of hers?


    After swallowing the pill, Qi Qi Qi rested her forehead against one of his arms on the table, panting for breath. The onlookers could tell that she was trying to calm herself down, but in reality, Qi Qi was using this action to hide the truth, scheming how to tell Chen Liang about Miao Yuqi and Chen Dong''s relationship.


    Since Miao Yuqi did not care about their relationship, there was no need for her to leave her any leeway.


    After walking over for a while, Qi Qi Qi finally raised her head and leaned back against the back of the chair. Her face still had a weak expression.


    "Seventh Brother, are you feeling any better?" "If you''re still not feeling well, we need to hurry to the hospital. I''m sorry, but I''ve just said something wrong, so I''ll shock you. Don''t be angry, I''ll talk to my brother when I get back, and we won''t let him speak nonsense outside."


    Qi Qi Qi glanced at Chen Liang, her eyes cold and distant. Just this gaze alone caused Chen Liang to panic. In his heart, he was blaming himself for being too reckless.


    "Chen Liang, I have a very big question in my heart right now. Can you honestly answer me?" With an exceptionally serious face, Qi Qi Qi looked at Chen Liang and asked.


    "Yes, as long as I know, I will answer truthfully." Right now, Chen Liang only wished to make up for his efforts, so how could he not agree?


    "You just said that my cousin told your brother that I''m making a ruckus outside. What is the relationship between my cousin and your brother?"


    "I ¡­" After all, this was his brother''s private matter. Logically speaking, as his younger brother, he shouldn''t be so bad, telling others about this matter, but right now, the person who was asking him the question was seventy to seventy percent, the girl he liked. More importantly, he had just wronged her, causing her to nearly have a heart attack.


    Thinking this way, Chen Liang truthfully revealed the relationship between Miao Yuqi and his brother, "Actually, I''m not too sure, but if I''m not wrong, your cousin should be my brother''s lover!"


    "My cousin is your brother''s lover!" Qi Qi Qi opened her eyes wide, and her back that was originally leaning against the back of the chair also instantly straightened.


    Chen Liang had a face full of shame as he lowered his head and explained, "I''m sorry, Qi Seventh, I clearly just told you that our family education is rather strict, that my brother won''t do anything reckless once he gets married. But, Qi Seventh, believe me, when I say this, I really didn''t know that my brother was related to your cousin."


    "Ha!" The corner of his mouth widened as he looked at Chen Liang and said, "You might not believe this, but my cousin is also married. Does this count as half a kilogram versus eight taels?"


    "Err ¡­" Your cousin is married! "My brother has provoked a married woman!"


    "What''s even more shocking is that! "My cousin just gave birth to a baby for two or three months, but your brother actually likes a wife who''s still nursing. It''s such a heavy taste!"


    Chen Liang was rather agitated by the mockery on Qi Qi VII''s face, and his expression also grew uglier and uglier. He wanted to immediately rush home and ask his brother, just what in the world did he think he was doing?


    "Seven, I ¡­"


    You don''t need to explain, I know you can''t be blamed for this. If I knew earlier that my cousin couldn''t change her mind, I wouldn''t have hidden it from her when she was dating with another man. At the time, I thought that she was just trying to decide whether or not to marry my cousin, so I hid it for her. CaiYi bit her lips with a regretful look.


    Seeing Qi Qi Qi biting his lips until they turned white, Chen Liang could not help but feel his heart ache, "Don''t blame yourself. It''s not like you''re the one who did the wrong thing. You would never have expected your cousin to be such a person, right!"


    "But I feel that I''ve let down my cousin''s husband, and my nephew is only two months old. If my cousin''s husband finds out that my cousin has done something to him, will their family still be able to live peacefully?" With bloodshot eyes, Qi Qi Qi raised her head to look at Chen Liang, but upon seeing him, she was stunned. Immediately after, she carefully looked at Chen Liang''s facial features one by one.


    Just as Chen Liang''s head was filled with fog and he was about to ask, Qi Qi Qi cried out in alarm and immediately covered her mouth with her hand and shook her head.


    Chen Liang originally did not understand why Qi Hua was looking at him like that, but now that he had done such a weird thing, his curiosity was piqued even further. He couldn''t help but ask, "What''s wrong?" Is something wrong? "


    Qi Qi Qi lowered his head and repeatedly loosened his grip on the table, loosened it, and loosened it again and again. After a long while, he raised his head as if he had made up his mind and looked at Chen Liang. "I''ve discovered that my nephew''s facial features are very similar to yours!"


    "Me?! "How is this possible!?" Chen Liang subconsciously opened his mouth to deny it. He even wanted to ask Qiqi how he was daydreaming. Thinking of this, his expression immediately froze. He slowly turned his head to look at Qiqi, and he saw the same shock in her eyes.


    Chen Liang shook his hand and took out his phone from his jacket pocket. Because of his excitement, he even typed in the password several times he got it wrong, so when he couldn''t open the phone, he hastily pulled out the photo album, found the photo of him and his brother, and handed the phone to Qi Qi Qi. He pointed at Chen Dong and asked, "Did you say that this is the person your cousin hid from your brother-in-law before their marriage?"


    Qi Qi Qi stared unblinkingly at the photo on her phone. After a long time, she woodenly nodded. When she raised her head to look at Chen Liang, she asked softly, "What should we do?"

 C87

    At this moment, Chen Liang was also at a loss, but facing Qi Qi Qi''s request, he could only force himself to remain calm, "This matter is only our guess. First, we have to confirm our guess. Can you go back and get your nephew''s hair?"


    Qi Qi Qi nodded with a look of wholehearted trust.


    Under the gaze of Qi Qi Qi, Chen Liang''s heart gradually calmed down. Soon after, a faint layer of pride rose to the surface where his beloved had relied on him. Thus, the following words were even more natural.


    "I''ll go back and look for my brother''s hair. Let''s first send their hair to the paternity test center for evaluation. Before we come out, let''s not reveal anything. After all, this is related to two families. If we don''t deal with it carefully, the consequences will be dire."


    Qi Qi agreed to Chen Liang''s proposal without any objections, and then she mentioned, "During this period of time, if your big brother comes looking for my cousin again, what should we do?"


    Chen Liang placed a hand on his temple and felt that this matter was extremely troublesome. With his legs on his brother''s body, even his sister-in-law would not be able to discipline him. As his younger brother, what right did he have to!?


    However, this matter involved a married man''s wife, so he didn''t mind if he didn''t know. Since he knew now, it was reasonable that he should let things go. Thus, he couldn''t just let things go on like this.


    "How about ¡­ ¡­" I told my mom about this matter in secret. My mom was still more easy-going, so she would try to beat up my brother to see if he would change his mind during this period of time. If he doesn''t repent, the results of the paternity test will prove our guesses.


    Qi Qi Qi looked at Chen Liang with a troubled expression, hesitantly saying, "Then what about your sister-in-law and my brother-in-law? And my nephew, if he''s really your brother''s child, who is he going to follow in the future? Do you want to follow your brother, or my cousin, or have each of them get a divorce, and get married for this child? "


    Upon being asked by Qi Qi, Chen Liang was at a loss as to how to deal with it. After all, he was only a student. Besides studying, he had never experienced anything. How could he know what kind of treatment was most appropriate?


    "This matter is too complicated, and the consequences are too serious. The two of us are still young, so we might as well wait for the results to come out and get our respective parents to deal with it!"


    Chen Liang didn''t know what to do. With Qi Qi saying this, how could he not agree? He immediately nodded his head like a clump of green onions.


    With this matter in front of them, Chen Liang didn''t have the mood to sit here any longer. After agreeing on the next meeting time with Qi Qi, he went home to look for his brother''s hair.


    When they walked out of the coffee shop and headed home, Qi Qi only felt that her footsteps were incomparably light. Originally, she didn''t want to do things so cruelly, but since Miao Yuqi had done so, she couldn''t be blamed.


    He really didn''t expect Miao Yuqi to cause trouble in front of Chen Dong just to deal with her. How could she be so sure that Chen Liang would be the one to attack her?


    Suddenly, something flashed through his mind. Right, the love letter that wasn''t sent out. Thinking of this, he quickened his pace and returned home. When he reached home, he simply responded to Mr and Mrs Miao before hurriedly returning to his room.


    After standing in the middle of the room and recalling it for a while, Qi Qi then smacked her head and went to the side of the desk and pulled out a textbook. She opened the book and sure enough, an envelope fell out of it.


    Qi Qi Qi clearly remembered that when she put the envelope back into her book, she didn''t fold up a corner. Sure enough, Miao Yuqi had snuck into her room.


    She clearly remembered that when she closed the photo album, Grandma Miao had called for a meal from outside. At that time, she had lowered her head to look at the time, and it was exactly 12 o''clock, but the last time she browsed through the document was at 12: 30. At that time, wasn''t that when Miao Yuqi came over to deliver the pig''s feet?


    All her questions had been answered, and Qi Qi Qi hadn''t expected that at that time, Miao Yuqi would have already started plotting against her.


    The only thing she could think of was that the original owner had a vacation after graduating from high school and had a quarrel with Miao Yuqi over dinner. Such a small matter was truly worth hating for so many years, and then she had used such deadly rumors to harm her?


    Since he couldn''t figure out what Miao Yuqi was thinking, Qi Qi decided not to think about it anymore. As long as Chen Liang could get his hands on Chen Dong''s hair and confirm that Zhou Hao was Chen Dong''s son, then Miao Yuqi''s good days would come to an end.


    As for Chen Dong''s wife and Zhou Wenjun, although pulling them in was very unfair to them, it was not necessarily a bad thing to be able to get rid of these two adulterers early on.


    Due to the suspension of work during the new year, the results of the paternity test did not come out until the end of the holidays for Qi Qi and Chen Liang.


    When Qi Qi received Chen Liang''s call, Miao Yuqi was sitting across from her eating dinner. While eating, she also felt that the meat was too fatty.


    When Qi Qi hung up the phone, she looked up at her, then lowered her head and silently ate her food without a single change in her expression.


    During this time, Miao Yuqi had asked Chen Dong about the results of their conversation, but during this period of time, Chen Dong seemed to have become infatuated with a new rabbit girl from the nightclub.


    She could only console herself. She would slowly come up with a plan when Chen Dong''s excitement died down, but luckily, he could observe that Miao Qiqi and Chen Liang were getting closer and closer to each other. She wasn''t afraid that they were not close, but she was afraid that the closer they were, the more painful it would be for them to be separated, right?


    When she thought that Miao Qiqi would one day cry his eyes out in front of her, Miao Yuqi''s heart was filled with the pleasure of having her revenge succeed.


    Humph! She was also a granddaughter of the Miao Family. The reason why Miao Qiqi''s father was able to become a professor in a big city was because his father had given up on studying and made money for his second uncle to study.


    Logically speaking, Miao Qiqi and his family should have given half of their earnings to them to repay their debt of gratitude back then. However, for so many years, that ungrateful family did not give them anything other than some festivals.


    Miao Qiqi''s well-dressed delicacies and the opportunity to study abroad all belonged to her!


    The more Miao Yuqi thought about it, the more unwilling she became.


    The result of the paternity test was as Qi Qi Qi had guessed, Zhou Hao was Chen Dong''s son.


    Pretending to be surprised, she looked at the ashen-faced Chen Liang and asked, "What should we do next?"


    As if he had made up his mind, he said: "In this matter, I must tell my father that Zhou Hao is my brother''s son, and also my nephew. Whether it is me or my parents, neither of them will let him stay in the outside world, and I do not know what sort of mentality my brother has to refuse this child, but our Chen family will not reject him."


    After hearing Chen Liang''s words, Qi Hua truly had a whole new level of respect for him. He didn''t expect that this Chen Liang would have such a sense of responsibility. He was much better than his older brother, no wonder the original owner liked him.


    Give me a copy of this report. I''ll go talk to our elders, and you can take the original copy to your parents. This way, the efficiency will be a little higher.


    "Seven, before that, can I ask you a question?" Seeing that Qi Qi Qi was about to stand up and leave, Chen Liang hurriedly tried to stop her.


    Qi Qi Qi looked doubtfully at Chen Liang with a grave expression. Hadn''t they already discussed everything that needed to be discussed? There were still some questions, but even though she had questions in her heart, she still followed his instructions and sat down.


    "Ask away!"


    "Seventh Seven, I ¡­ I wanted to ask you, do you like me? Even if it''s just a little? " Chen Liang was very clear in his heart. As long as this matter between his brother and Miao Yuqi was brought up on stage, he and Qi Qi would definitely not be together.


    Regardless of whether it was the Miao Family or the Chen Family, after such a scandal, being able to get along peacefully was already the best ending. The two elders would definitely not allow their children to have any other relationships.


    Qi Qi looked fixedly into Chen Liang''s eyes, and she saw hope, worry, fear, and all sorts of emotions mixed together, causing her heart to soften for a second. However, she was not an emotional person, so she slowly and surely replied, "No, I don''t like you. Perhaps, we''re not even suitable to be friends.


    A self-deprecating smile appeared on his face as he softly said, "I should have long guessed your answer, but I just couldn''t control myself and wanted to ask you in person. Now that all the hopes are gone, I should completely give up."


    Qi Qi Qi resisted the urge to comfort the boy in front of her, stood up, and said goodbye with a distant tone. Since she couldn''t be with him, she shouldn''t give him any hope. Breaking off cleanly was the best protection for him.


    When they walked out of the coffee shop, Qi Qi turned around to take a look and saw Chen Liang still sitting in the same position, unmoving.


    Qi Qi sighed, turned around, took a taxi and headed home.


    After returning home, Qi Qi first carried Grandpa and Grandma Miao on her back and secretly called Mr and Mrs Miao into her room.


    "Qi Qi, what are you so secretive about?" Seventh Seven pulled Mrs Miao to sit by the bedside while Mr Miao sat down on a chair beside the desk, his head full of fog.


    "Dad, mom, I want to show you something, but after you finish reading it, don''t get too excited, and don''t impulsively run over to grandpa or grandma immediately, I''m afraid that they won''t be able to stand the excitement when they''re old."


    Mr and Mrs Miao felt their hearts skip a beat at Qi Qi Qi''s words. What was this so serious that they were afraid the old man wouldn''t be able to take it?

 C88

    Qi Qi took out the copy of the paternity test and placed it solemnly in front of Mr and Mrs Miao.


    When Mrs Miao saw the few words on the cover, she knew that the situation was serious. She didn''t take the initiative to get the report, but waited quietly while Mr Miao flipped it open and read it word by word.


    At first, Mr Miao was still calm, but after reading the final sentence, the hand holding the report began to tremble slightly. He raised his head and looked at Seventh Seven sternly. "Seventh Seven, where did you get this report from?"


    Qi Qi didn''t answer her directly. Instead, she turned to look at her mother and asked, "Mom, do you still remember that boy who scraped away your new car?" The one called Chen Liang, who studied with me in America. "


    As soon as she thought about it, she immediately thought of this person. This person had been waiting nearby for seven to seven times, so it was naturally impossible for her to forget him.


    "The Chen Dong in this report is the brother of the same father and mother. We didn''t think about it in the beginning, but I saw Miao Yuqi and Chen Dong secretly meet more than once. Chen Liang also said that his brother admitted that he was close to Miao Yuqi."


    While speaking, Qi Qi Qi stole a glance at Mr Miao''s reaction. She saw that his expression was getting uglier and uglier, and the rage in his eyes was growing increasingly stronger as well.


    A look of disappointment and annoyance appeared on his face as he said, "Yu Qi is really too reckless. Little Zhou is so considerate to her, but she actually dares to mess around outside. Forget about it, if Little Zhou finds out about this, then the two of them won''t be able to live much longer!"


    After all, Mr Miao was his second uncle. Even though his words were full of criticism, they were still filled with worry for his niece.


    Compared to Mr Miao''s complicated emotions, Mrs Miao felt much simpler about this matter. After all, she wasn''t related to Miao Yuqi by blood, and she didn''t like her niece to begin with.


    "How''s the Chen family''s attitude?" Do they want to recognize the child? "


    Chen Liang told me that his brother had been married for a year already. His sister-in-law is a good woman, but at the same time, he also said that his parents have strict upbringing. After all, Zhou Hao is his brother''s son.


    "Since the Chen Family wants to reclaim their child, this matter can''t be hidden. Rather than waiting for them to come knocking on their door before letting their parents and eldest sister-in-law learn the truth from others, we might as well find a chance to tell them about this matter first. Otherwise we won''t have to be passive when the time comes."


    "Then what about Little Zhou''s side?" This meant that this man was not reliable at all. If possible, he still hoped that Yu Qi and Little Zhou could properly apologize and continue living their lives.


    His father, just because he broke his promise back then, could ignore him. Say, if he knew that his son, whom he loved and doted on so much, was someone else''s son, and that his own wife had continued to give him a green hat after their marriage, do you think he would agree not to get a divorce? "


    What Mrs Miao said was very straightforward, but it was also the truth. No matter how helpful Mr Miao was, there was nothing he could do in the face of such a situation.


    "Ahh ~ Whatever, this isn''t something that I should worry about. I will quickly hand over this report to my elder brother. Only parents like them have the right to handle this matter."


    After handing in the appraisal report, she and Mrs Miao returned to the city. In two days, she would return to school and still have a bunch of things to prepare. Besides, it was useless for her to stay here any longer.


    Back to the scandal of Uncle Miao''s family, there was a saying that the family was unspeakably ugly. A child like Qi Qi Hua, who was still in school, was embarrassed by this sort of thing, especially when it was revealed by her and Chen Liang together.


    After returning to the United States, Qi Qi did not specifically inquire about Miao Yuqi''s situation, but Mrs Miao intentionally revealed some information to her.


    After Miao Yuqi''s extramarital love and Zhou Hao''s true identity was revealed, Uncle Miao almost beat her to death. It was Chen Dazhi who blocked his way, saying that if he wanted to kill Miao Yuqi, he''d have to kill her first.


    At that time, Zhou Wenjun was also there. He did not say anything and just handed Zhou Hao, who was in his arms, to Uncle Miao. He went back to his room to pack his luggage and left without a word.


    Miao Yuqi walked up to pull him back, but he didn''t react at all. He only stared coldly at Miao Yuqi for a long time before slowly releasing her. Zhou Wenjun turned around and left the Miao Family without looking back.


    Zhou Wenjun did not make any hysterical noises. He did not bring his kitchen knife to the Chen family to demand an explanation, nor did he return to his father''s house. He dragged his luggage and disappeared from everyone''s sight.


    A month later, Zhou Wenjun sent a divorce agreement to Miao Yuqi. The divorce agreement did not mention anything about the marriage, and he did not even want the money in the bank or the house they shared. He only asked for one thing, and that was to return the longevity lock he gave to her during the full moon ceremony.


    It is said that this longevity lock was handed to him by Zhou Wenjun''s mother on her deathbed, and was given to his child.


    Since Zhou Wenjun was willing to abandon everything and never want to live with her again, she didn''t want to drag it out any longer. More importantly, since the matter between her and Chen Dong had been exposed, she now held a glimmer of hope that Chen Dong would be able to marry her after the divorce.


    If the Chen family did not agree to this request, she would not give Zhou Hao to them even if she had to fight to the death.


    Miao Yuqi thought it was beautiful, but it all depended on whether the Chen family was qualified to cooperate or not.


    Chen Dong had been married for more than a year, but his wife''s stomach was still flat. Although Chen Dong''s parents didn''t say anything, now that there was a ready-made grandson here, the grandson and daughter-in-law, their hearts were definitely biased towards the grandson.


    Chen Dong didn''t want to get a divorce, but he had no choice in this matter.


    Chen Dong''s wife might not have a very rich family, but she was still the daughter of a good family, so how could she endure such humiliation? She hated Chen Dong for hiding it from her before the wedding and hated him for pestering Miao Yuqi after it.


    However, she didn''t express too much dissatisfaction when she heard Chen Dong''s parents implicitly urging him to divorce her. She only said that Chen Dong was the one who cheated and wanted a divorce, but Chen Dong had to leave the family and all the property under their names had to belong to her.


    Chen Dong''s parents were well aware that their son was in the wrong, moreover, to be honest, Chen Dong didn''t have much wealth under his name, and even that crappy company was losing money every year. If they could throw it out this time, it wouldn''t be a bad thing, so they only thought for a while before agreeing.


    After that, the property under Chen Dong''s name was transferred quickly, and the company was sold at a very low price for a period of time.


    On the surface, this scandal that had been causing quite a stir had finally ended. However, no one knew that the true ending of this scandal was soon going to be revealed to everyone in front of them in another way.


    Almost two months had passed when 77 suddenly received a call from Mrs Miao, telling her to return home as soon as possible to attend Miao Yuqi''s funeral.


    When Qi Qi Qi received the call, she was slightly taken aback. She knew Miao Yuqi''s results wouldn''t be good, but she never expected her to die.


    Qi Qi hung up the phone and went to apply for leave before hurrying to the airport. At the airport, she met Chen Liang, who was also anxious to return home. The two coincidentally bumped into each other at the airport, both of them seeing shock in each other''s eyes.


    "Did something happen to your brother too?"


    "Did something happen to your cousin too?"


    The two of them asked at the same time. Although the other didn''t answer, they already knew the answer.


    Qi Qi and Chen Liang silently boarded the plane without saying anything along the way.


    When they got back to the country and out of the airport, the two of them left the terminal together and immediately saw the families waiting outside.


    The one who came to pick him up was Mrs Miao, while the one who came to pick up Chen Liang was the Chen family''s driver.


    When Mrs Miao saw Chen Liang, her expression turned cold. However, thinking back to Chen Dong''s situation, she didn''t say anything. She simply took the suitcase from him and pushed her into the car.


    It turned out that after Chen Dong''s divorce, he insisted on not marrying Miao Yuqi. The reason he gave was that Miao Yuqi wanted to marry him because she was interested in the Chen family''s money. He could have a son, but Miao Yuqi was not allowed to enter the Chen family.


    If he couldn''t become Lady Chen and had to give up his son for nothing, Miao Yuqi naturally wouldn''t do it. Thus, the two sides came to a stalemate.


    Everyone originally thought that this matter would remain deadlocked and that it would take a long time before it was resolved. However, they didn''t expect that the matter would come to an end in just a short two months.


    As a result, Chen Dong and Miao Yuqi were killed. Their deaths were not considered tragic, and it could even be said to be a very beautiful scene.


    The scene of their death was the same hotel where they used to have a clandestine love affair. When they were found, neither of them wore clothes, and neither of them had any injuries. After an autopsy, they found out that they had been injected with an overdose of stimulants.


    When Qi Qi Jian arrived at the crematorium, she was just in time to see Miao Yuqi''s corpse being pushed into the incinerator.


    Chen Dazhi cried until he fainted on the spot, while Uncle Miao seemed to have aged a dozen years in an instant.


    Grandpa Miao and Granny Miao were not present. According to what Mrs Miao had said, the two elders had been infuriated by Miao Yuqi''s incident and had not been in good health lately. They were afraid that the old man would be overly emotional at a time like this.


    This was also Mr and Mrs Miao''s opinion. After waking up, Chen Daxin had been staring at him with venomous eyes, pointing at her nose and scolding him. She was the one who had meddled with Miao Yuqi''s family affairs and caused her to lose her life.


    Chen Dazhi''s mental state was already a little off. Adding on the fact that his heart wasn''t too well, even though his current control was not too bad, but if he was provoked by Chen Dazhi and became ill, then it would be too late to regret.


    After that, Father, Mother Miao, Uncle Miao, and Uncle Miao deliberately kept each other away from each other. Gradually, the relationship became less and less. After Grandpa Miao, Grandma Miao, and Uncle Miao died one after the other, Uncle Miao and Uncle Miao ended their relationship.


    After graduation, she continued to study abroad. Because of her body, she had never been married in her life, and her parents also knew that her daughter''s body was not suitable for marriage and children, so they didn''t force her to do the same, but after retiring, she also emigrated to the United States and died of old age in the United States.

 C89

    The first thing when Qi Qi Qi returned to the company was not to check how many spirit coins she had obtained from this mission, but to immediately search through the database in her mind. She wanted to know the reason why her story about Miao Qi had been stopped halfway through.


    If such a problem were to occur again in the future missions, it would result in death. She was lucky this time around, and Miao Qiqi''s wish was relatively simple. However, what if her client''s wish was very complicated? Then wouldn''t her mission have a high chance of failure?


    Although one failure didn''t have much of an impact on her promotion, it was hard to guarantee that she wouldn''t fail again in the future, right? She clearly remembered that the moment the quest failed, her soul would be completely destroyed. Not to mention going back to her original world, she wouldn''t even be able to reincarnate.


    After a careful search, Qi Qi finally found a small line of words in a corner of the TV wall''s Instructions for Use. It said: When broadcasting the life of the client, you must not look away from the screen, otherwise it will be deemed as having finished receiving the information, and the client will automatically stop broadcasting the video.


    "F * ck me!" Septimus almost raised his middle finger. Why did such an important piece of information need to be written in such a small font? Shouldn''t this matter of life and death be marked with red and bold and placed on the front page of the manual?


    Knowing that it was useless to be angry now, Qi Qi Qi took a few deep breaths to calm herself down before she closed her eyes to recall what she was doing during the broadcast of Miao Qi''s life. Oh, right, she made herself a cup of coffee ¡­


    Remembering the culprit behind this broadcast, Qi Qi fiercely twisted her mouth and said, "I told you to be gluttonous. You''re a spirit now, you won''t be hungry or thirsty. Why are you drinking coffee!?" Didn''t you know that you''re trying to kill someone with your mouth? "


    Just as he was reflecting on himself, the TV screen in front of him popped out the reward message for this mission.


    The reward was 3000 spirit coins.


    During this mission, Qi Qi knew that the amount of spirit coins she would receive would not be much. After all, it was not a difficult task, just a small dispute between a man and a woman.


    But then again, if she did not notice this disease and did not adjust when she was in high spirits, it was indeed very easy for something to happen. However, after Miao Qiqi died, she had to pay with her soul as a price just to make Miao Shiqi pay, and this made Qi Qi feel very unworthy. In the end, she was still a little girl who had yet to make her way into the society, so she was too impulsive.


    Qi Qi calculated and came to the company. Up till now, she had carried out a total of five missions, earned a total of 26,000 spirit coins, 1000 business talents and 2000 worth of martial arts value.


    Compared to when she first joined the company, she now had a lot more assets. However, when she thought of the skills in the supermarket, she suddenly felt like a pauper. Sigh ~ ~ The process of accumulating wealth was always slow and arduous!


    Just as Qi Qi Qi was worrying about this, the screen appeared on the opposite wall.


    Qi Qi looked up and saw a beautiful woman appear in the TV wall. Her long hair fell down over half her face, and her eyes were filled with a trace of fear and caution.


    "Hello, I''m Qi Qi, it''s my pleasure to serve you!"


    After these few quests, she was already very familiar with this unforewarned quest activation mode. Therefore, even if this vengeful spirit appeared very suddenly, she could still immediately adjust her facial expression and politely greet him.


    "My, my name is Gao Qiqi ¡­" The female ghost raised her head to look at Seventh Brother, then she immediately lowered her head, looking as if she was afraid.


    Qi Qi Qi''s brow creased. How could such a timid woman give up her soul to take revenge on someone else?! Although she had some doubts in her heart, her face didn''t show it.


    "Hello, Ms. Gao, how can I help you?"


    "I ¡­" "I died a miserable death ¡­"


    Qi Qi Qi carefully observed her appearance after hearing her words. There wasn''t anything wrong with her appearance.


    Seemingly seeing through her suspicions, the vengeful spirit known as Gao Qiqi lifted up her straight hair. The half of her face that was previously covered by her hair revealed itself along with her actions.


    Qi Qi saw that the corners of her eyes were swollen and half of her cheeks were green. The corners of her mouth were stained with dried blood. She had obviously been beaten up. However, such a wound shouldn''t cause her to die, right?


    "I killed myself with a sleeping pill. I couldn''t stay a second longer with a husband like that, but I didn''t dare to get a divorce, so I had to kill myself?"


    When he heard that the woman in front of him had chosen to give up her life because she didn''t dare divorce him, Qi Seventh tightly pursed her lips. She wanted to live but she couldn''t, yet there were so many people in this world who didn''t want to live.


    "Lady Gao, if you committed suicide, then it means that you gave up your life. How could it not be considered as a miserable death?" Because he disapproved of the other party committing suicide, at this moment Qi Qi was not speaking in a good tone, and there was even a faint hint of severity and ridicule in her tone.


    Gao Qiqi seemed to be very sensitive to human emotions. As soon as he said that, he could clearly see her flinch, and her drooping head drooped even lower.


    "I''m sorry, I can''t speak. It''s just that I''ve had too much trouble, I really have no other choice ¡­"


    "Lady Gau, what do you want me to do for you at the price of your own soul?" Not wanting to hear too many explanations from her, 77 chose to interrupt her.


    "I ¡­" I want you to help me divorce my husband! "


    "Divorce!?" Qi Qi Qi couldn''t help but raise her voice. This was the simplest wish she had so far. It was just a divorce, but this Gao Qiqi was actually willing to sacrifice his soul.


    "Let me remind you, Ms. Gao, now that you are dead, divorce doesn''t seem to mean anything to you anymore. If you let me help you fulfill this wish at the cost of your soul, your soul will disappear from this universe and never exist again. Do you think it''s worth it?"


    "It''s worth it, please, please help me fulfill this wish! I didn''t have the courage to fight him myself, even though I had already chosen to kill myself, but I didn''t want to die and still carry the title of Mrs. Ray. I wanted to cut all ties with him, any form of connection. "


    This time, Gao Seven did not hesitate. Raising his head, he looked straight at Qi Hua, his face full of pleading and determination.


    "Lady Gao, you''re not even afraid of death, why would you be afraid of your husband? Even if you''re determined to divorce him, it''s still better than the end!" Qi Qi Qi really couldn''t understand the woman in front of her.


    "No, you don''t understand. He is more terrifying than death. I don''t dare to resist him. After so many years, I have been tortured by him to the point of insanity!" As he spoke, two streams of clear tears slowly rolled down his gloomy eyes.


    Although she felt that he was a little too weak, she was, after all, the client. It was not good for her to show disapproval, so she tried her best to make her expression softer.


    "Okay, Ms. Gau, since you''ve made up your mind, I''ll accept your entrustment."


    Hearing that Qi Qi Qi agreed to accept the mission, Gao Seven''s originally gloomy eyes suddenly lit up. Although there were still tears in his eyes, it had already changed from the previous gloomy cloud.


    "Thank you, thank you!" While nodding and bowing, he kept saying words of thanks. Then, he turned around and hid himself.


    This time, he had learned from his previous experience. His eyes were glued to the screen across from him, not daring to leave.


    It was only after seeing his entire life that he finally blinked his sore eyes and let out a long sigh. This time, she finally understood why he had such a cowardly personality and cowardly look in his eyes.


    Although her personality was also rather weak, it wasn''t to the point of being afraid of others. She was being beaten up by her husband, Regan, until death.


    She was originally from a wealthy family and should have been admired by everyone as the Eldest Miss, but now she had a pair of parents that valued boys rather than girls. Although they did not mistreat her, compared to her pampered little brother, she was clearly the child that had been heavily neglected in her family.


    Because of this experience of growing up, her personality was rather weak. She yearned to be noticed by others and was used to trying to curry favor with others.


    When Rejen, the school''s Prince Charming, confessed to her, she had first experienced the feeling of being envied and had agreed to his pursuit without thinking.


    During the whole process of their relationship, Regan had always been very graceful. In addition, Regan had a good family background, so compared to the Gao Family, the Lei Family had a much stronger family background.


    Thus, in the year that she graduated from university, it was only natural for them to be married. In the year that she left her university, she had become a housewife, directly from being a student. She did not have a day''s work experience, but she did not care about this at the time.


    However, his nightmare soon arrived. After their marriage, she found out that Regan actually had an SM hobby. She was tortured to the point that she almost couldn''t get out of bed on her wedding night.


    She wanted to go home, but the next morning, faced with Regan''s sincere apology, she hesitated. Later on, she searched online about SM and found out that it was some people''s hobby. As long as they didn''t overdo it, it could still improve the quality of their married life to a certain extent.


    Due to the compromise from Gao Qiqi, the two of them successfully completed their honeymoon period of three months after their marriage.


    In the past, he had only used the belt to hit her, but now he had developed this habit of burning candles and straining her with ropes. There were several times when he felt that he would die in bed.


    She tried to negotiate with him, hoping that he would change his hobby or try to restrain himself, but every time he promised, he would do as he pleased next time, even more so than before.


    Because of the fear, he was becoming more and more afraid of being alone with Regan, because she did not know when Regan would pull out the belt from his waist and pull it on her. She also did not know if her husband, who was fine one minute earlier, would turn into a bloodthirsty maniac the next.

 C90

    However, the more scared he was, the more Regan liked to torture her. It was as if seeing her trembling in fear and not daring to resist made him even more excited.


    However, the Gao family had a rather large investment case with the Lei family right now, and their parents were afraid that Gao Qi might anger Regan, causing this cooperation to fail. Not only did they not help her ask for an explanation, they even blamed her for not knowing what was good for them, and even sent her back to the Lei family.


    Rejane''s parents didn''t like her to begin with. They felt that she was too petty to take out such a daughter-in-law, and the reason they agreed to their marriage was because their son liked her.


    Seeing their daughter-in-law go back to their parents'' home and report their son''s condition, the displeasure in their hearts grew.


    So, when Regan came back from a business trip and said he wanted to move out, Thunderpa agreed without a word.


    After moving out, Regan was even more unbridled. As long as she was willing, she could grab hold of Gao Qiyi anytime she wanted to be a beast, and she would suffer unspeakably. However, she was imprisoned in the villa by Regan and could not leave at all, and the only parents she could turn to were her parents who, due to their business relationship, did not care about her at all.


    When she finally mustered the courage to ask Regan for a divorce, Regan just sneered, grabbed her by the hair and beat it up. He also threatened that if she still had any intention of leaving him, he would make her beg for death.


    During this period of more than a year, she had experienced too many inhumane methods from Regan, so she could only bitterly endure the shock. She had always wished for Regan to be hit by a car or killed by robbers when he was out, but every evening, she would always see him safely returning home. Every time there was the sound of a key opening the door, her entire body would uncontrollably tremble.


    It wasn''t that she didn''t want to run, but she couldn''t get out. The villa was in a remote suburb, and there was no one around. If she wanted help, she wouldn''t be able to find anyone.


    Just like this, Gao Seven led a life of a prisoner. Day after day of torture, she gradually lost all hope in living. In order to get rid of this demon, she could only die.


    His wish was to divorce Regan and get rid of him completely, physically and in name. Thus, he could only enter the mission after their marriage, but Regan''s atrocities had already begun on their wedding night. As long as he thought of Regan doing all sorts of abnormal things to her, his stomach would twitch, and he would feel nauseous.


    He took a few deep breaths to calm his stomach, then closed his eyes and entered the mission.


    When Qi Qi opened her eyes again, she felt pain all over her body. Looking down, she found that she was lying naked on the bed, her arms and thighs were covered with bruises, apparently caused by some kind of belt, but fortunately, she was afraid that the next time she used it, Lei Jie would not let her bleed. This made her less troubled, as the bleeding wounds didn''t heal that quickly.


    Qi Qi resisted the pain and forced herself off the bed. Just as she was about to stand up, her feet slipped and she almost fell down. She looked down and saw a used condom on the floor.


    Resisting her disgust, she quickly moved her foot away, took out a tissue from the bed, pinched this disgusting thing, and threw it into a trash can. Although this sex filled with violence happened before she entered the mission, just thinking of how this body had once been tossed around by a man made her feel uncomfortable.


    He dragged his painful body into the bathroom, and turned on the maximum amount of water in the shower. He used a brush to brush his entire body, and the disgust in his heart disappeared a little.


    Allowing the slightly scalding hot water to wash over his head, Qi Qi began to recall the scenes she had received earlier. At this time, Reggie had already taken Gao Qiqi out of the Thunder House. They had lived in this villa for almost two months, and Reggie''s imprisonment had already begun.


    In other words, at this moment, she couldn''t get in touch with anyone from the outside world. She couldn''t get out of the house, couldn''t make a phone call, couldn''t get on the internet, and thinking about how she had been out of touch for such a long time, her parents weren''t worried about her safety at all, especially after she appeared in front of them asking for help with her injuries.


    If she remembered correctly, it would be a week before Regan returned from his trip. She remembered the previous evening, when Regan had loaded a load of food into the refrigerator at the villa, and warned her not to play any tricks while he was away, or she would see him when he returned.


    Thinking of the fact that she had nearly a week to think of a way to save herself, Qi Qi Qi let out a sigh of relief in her heart. Although she had not been in this body for long, Qi Qi Qi could clearly feel that this body of hers was very weak. How could such a strong physique resist the burly Lei Jie? Right now, the most important thing for her was to train her body.


    It wasn''t as if he hadn''t thought of taking advantage of the absence of Regan to find a chance to escape so that he wouldn''t have to face Regan head on, but that would have been detrimental to his mission.


    The original owner''s wish was to completely get rid of Regan and divorce him. However, if she were to escape now, even if she found the police station, sue her for domestic violence, and apply for a forced divorce, it would be easy for the Lei Family to reject this case. Thus, in order to get a successful divorce, Regan had to be willing.


    However, it was obviously impossible to convince someone who was passionate about SM. He could only use violence to make him afraid of her.


    After showering and leaving the bathroom, she picked out a set of loose clothes from the wardrobe that were convenient for exercise. Without wasting any time, she immediately stretched her body, because this body had just been beaten up, so any slight movement would cause severe pain. However, she gritted her teeth and persevered.


    After warming up, Seventh Seven first sat cross-legged on the carpet, carefully recalling the moves she had learned during her mission with Zheng Qiqi. As a commando, what she had learnt was a powerful technique to kill the enemy in one shot. As long as she could raise her physical strength to the level of a normal person within a week, then with those moves, although she could not beat up Big Thunder, she could still protect herself.


    After making up her mind, Qi Qi Jian started to practice according to the moves in her memories. Although doing those moves now was very strenuous and the power she used was also very limited, with her formidable martial arts value and the analysis of the familiar movements in her memories, she was still able to familiarize her body with these movements.


    She knew that continuing like this wouldn''t have any effect, so she decided to put away her moves and prepare to rest. At the same time, she could also use this time to get herself a nutritious lunch. With such a large consumption of physical energy, she needed to replenish enough heat.


    Time passed in an instant, and in those seven days, Seventh Madame had used up all the time she had left. However, compared to Regan''s physical strength in the story, she knew that it was still extremely difficult for her to face him head on. High Seventh Brother''s physical condition was much weaker than she had expected, and although he had undergone intense physical training in a short period of time, the results were not satisfactory to her.


    Qi Qi sat back down on the sofa and wiped the beads of sweat off her forehead. She looked at the tightly shut door and frowned. If she remembered correctly, Regan would be back this evening.


    According to the usual practice, when Regan returned from a business trip, he would grab hold of the accumulated desire of seven to seven years. If she wanted to avoid having a relationship with Regan today, she could only think of another way.


    Qi Qi Qi inadvertently looked down and saw the light scar on her wrist. This scar was left behind by the first time she cut her wrist and killed herself. It was just that she didn''t die at that time.


    Furthermore, after she was cured and discharged from the hospital, Rejane used even more violence on her, warning her that if she tried to commit suicide again, he would make her suffer a fate worse than death. Gao Qi was scared by Rejen, and after that, for a long time, he didn''t dare to commit suicide again.


    Sleeping pills! By the way, could she put sleeping pills in Regan''s food and make him lose consciousness? Even if he couldn''t completely lose consciousness, as long as she weakened his strength, it was still possible for her to escape with her current physical strength.


    Having thought of a possible solution, he got up and walked quickly to his bedroom. She found the box of sleeping pills in the drawer of his bedside table. There were seven of them.


    In order to keep her awake, he had given her a sleeping pill of seven or seven, but he was also afraid that if she tried to do so, he would only give her one week each time, and during the second dose he would check to see if there were still enough sleeping pills left. If there were, he would deduct the extra pills and make up for the loss of one week, which would save him the trouble of giving her the pills every day, and one week was not enough to kill her.


    Before, because she had temporarily given up on the idea of suicide, and had indeed been unable to sleep without sleeping pills, she had taken them every day on time. Now that she had taken Seventh Year''s excess physical training, which had consumed too much of her physical strength, coupled with the fact that she didn''t have any worries or fears, she naturally fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow, unable to use any sleeping pills at all.


    Qi Qi poured out all the sleeping pills from the bottle. She first took out two of them and put them in her pocket. The remaining five were hidden under the velvet of the jewelry box so that Regan wouldn''t find out about them being confiscated.


    When she was done with the sleeping pills, she went into the kitchen, took the ingredients from the fridge, and started preparing dinner.


    As Qi Qi was cooking, she wondered if it would be better if she put the medicine in the dish or in the wine.


    In the end, she decided to grind the sleeping pill into powder and place it in the wine. Regan knew that if she didn''t drink it, he would force her to drink it, even though he would sometimes force her to do so for the sake of tormenting her. Most of the time, he wouldn''t force her to drink it, so as long as she was careful, she could avoid contact with the sleeping pill.


    When Qi Qi was ready for dinner, the door opened.


    Qi Qi stuck her head out of the restaurant just in time to see a tall back figure, at this moment he really did carry her out of the shoe closet to change into a pair of slippers. Qi Qi Qi stuck her head out of the restaurant just in time to see a tall back, at this moment he really did actually carry her out of the shoe cabinet to take out a pair of slippers to change into a set of clothes and a pair of shoes.

    "Seven, seven!" As soon as Regan put on his slippers, he called out to the stairs on the second floor. He loosened his tie as he carried his briefcase to the sofa.


    "You''re back, I''m here!" Qi Qi came out of the dining room and met Regan''s surprised eyes with her two hands hanging limply by her side.


    Regan turned his head to look in the direction of the stairs to the right, then he looked in the direction of the dining hall''s entrance. The loosening of his tie paused for a moment, and then he quickly returned to normal.


    "Why didn''t you hide in the bedroom today and start cooking instead?"


    "I calculated the time and knew that you came back almost today. You haven''t eaten at home for such a long time, so you''ll definitely miss it. Since there are still some ingredients in the fridge, I went to prepare them." At first, when he was so afraid of Big Seven, he suddenly took the initiative to cook dinner to curry his favor. Naturally, he would be suspicious, because if he did not give a proper excuse now, it would not be easy to trick him into drinking wine later on.


    "So obedient?!"


    It was clear that Regan still doubted her motives.


    Qi Qi Qi took a small step forward and rubbed the hem of her apron with her fingers. Then, she raised her head and timidly looked at Big Thunder. "I ¡­" I am not feeling well today. You just returned from a business trip so you must be tired too. Today ¡­ We''ll all have a good rest today, and I''ll make it up to you another day, okay? "


    Hearing Qi Qi Qi''s words, Regan then retracted his suspicion. So this was the reason why he was so obedient.


    He stood up and walked over to her. Stretching out his right index finger, he lifted her chin and brought it close to her face.


    Qi Qi Qi felt a wave of nausea and resisted the urge to reveal a look of disgust.


    "Whether or not I let you go depends on your performance later."


    After he said that, he intentionally wiped his shoulders and went back to the dining room, sitting at the head of the table. He raised his head and looked at the still standing Seventh Brother, waiting for her to ''show off''.


    Qi Qi looked at Regan, and after seeing him raise his eyebrows, she then walked softly to his side, her hand clenched into a fist. Only by tightly clenching her fist could she suppress the urge to punch him in the face.


    "This is your favorite Red Braised Meat. I stewed it in a warm fire for three hours and it''s already very soft and sticky. Try it!"


    Qi Qi picked up a small piece of red braised pork with chopsticks and placed it in a small porcelain bowl in front of Regan, then quietly served him.


    It had been a long time since Regan had enjoyed her gentle and petty side, and now that he saw her, he felt a lot more comfortable. Although he had a love for SM in bed, he did not wish to face an obedient wife in life who would be like a ferocious beast in front of him.


    If not for the fact that he could not find a second wife to deal with his perverted SM preferences, he would not have taken a fancy to a cowardly woman like Gao Qi. He was not in the mood to get along with her!


    He reached out and took hold of her wrist to stop her from putting the braised pork in the bowl. Instead, he lifted her hand and bit into the meat as she pinched it.


    Qi Qi watched as he chewed on the red-braised pork in his mouth and looked straight at her face, as if he was biting on her meat. Qi Qi Qi couldn''t help but shiver. This guy was too abnormal; he had lost so much that he could endure so much for such a long period of time.


    He took a step back from the table, picked up the wine that was already filled with medicine, and poured about a third of it into a goblet at the side. This amount of medicine was definitely not enough to make Regan lose his strength, and it was also impossible for him to fall asleep, but pouring too much wine at once would definitely arouse his suspicions, so she could only let him drink as much as she could.


    "Aren''t you afraid of me drinking?" On the contrary, he used his thumb and forefinger to gently shake the cup holder. In the light of the restaurant, he watched the purplish-red liquid continuously follow the motion of his shaking wine cup to and fro as it swirled and collided with the cup''s body.


    Seeing his actions, Qi Qi immediately suppressed the uncomfortable feeling in her heart and explained in a soft voice, "Drinking too much alcohol hurts my body, but a little alcohol will help me sleep, so ¡­"


    After listening to Qi Qi Qi''s explanation, Lei didn''t ask anything else. Instead, the corner of his mouth slightly lifted, revealing an evil smile. He then tilted his head, and drank all of the red wine in the cup in one gulp.


    "Trying to deal with me with just a glass of red wine? You''re still as naive as before!"


    A look of fear appeared on Qi Qi''s face as she shook her hand to hold the bottle of red wine. Then, she poured another half cup into the cup in his hand.


    "Lei ¡­" Rejen, have another drink! "


    At this time, the woman in front of him was like a harmless white rabbit. She was pitiful and adorable, and she was extremely to his taste, because the ''food'' in front of him was just too delicious, he was in no rush to eat it. Thus, he once again drank the wine in his glass of red liquid with a smile on his face.


    She should be safe and sound today. So she put down the bottle of wine in her hand, sat down on the left side of Regan, and continued to serve him, quietly waiting for the effects of the medicine.


    It was unknown if it was because of Regan''s good physical fitness, but after about ten minutes, he finally blinked his eyes.


    He reached out to grab the seven or seven people beside him, intending to end the fight quickly and satisfy his craving before doing anything else. But now, his sleepiness was so strong that he could not even open his eyes, and he knew that he could not continue with his current state, so he could only push the person in his embrace away.


    "After running for so many days, I''m tired today as well. Since you''ve performed so well, I''ll let you off today. I''ll ''enjoy'' you again tomorrow morning."


    With that said, Lei Zhan stood up and walked towards his bedroom with shaky steps.


    Chapter Seven stood at the dining room table, watching as Regan disappeared down the stairs to the second floor, a cold smile on his face.


    Humph! If he could ''enjoy'' her in the morning, it would depend on whether he had such a good life!


    After another ten minutes or so downstairs to make sure Regan had gone to sleep, she picked up the briefcase Regan had left behind on the way in and pulled out a bunch of keys.


    In the past, Rejen had locked the bunch of keys in the safe before going to sleep to prevent her from stealing the key to escape. Today, he might have been shocked by her initial gentleness, but later, after taking the sleeping pills she had secretly put into the bottle, he had been unable to resist the sleepiness and had forgotten to lock the key.


    This was a good opportunity for seven to eight to duplicate the key.


    Qi Qi Qi first went up to the bedroom, saw Lei Zhan sleeping on the bed, and was already snoring slightly. Then, she gently pulled the door shut, turned around and went downstairs, took the money, and put on a pair of running shoes from the closet in the hallway. With the key in her hand, she opened the door, then ran to the nearest bus stop.


    She didn''t dare go out in Regan''s car, for fear of leaving any trace on the driving recorder.


    It was now 8 PM. If she was lucky, she could still catch the last bus to the city center. At this time, she should still be able to find a shop that duplicated locks.


    It would be a very passive thing not to go out. As long as she could copy the key, she would be able to go out when Regan was not around to prepare what she needed. It would be a great convenience for her.


    Most importantly, if she were to fail in using such a violent method in the end, she would at least be able to save her life in this crucial moment with this key in hand.


    She was proud of the amount of training she had during this period of time. Originally, it would have taken her ten minutes to drive, but it took her half an hour to reach the destination just in time to catch the last bus.


    After getting on the car, Qi Qi Hua finally dared to slowly adjust his breathing, calming his pounding heart.


    When she reached the city center, she found a key matching store that was about to close. The owner didn''t want to make it right away because it was too late, so he agreed to make it immediately after offering three times the price.


    While making the keys, Qi Qi sat on the small stool in front of the door, looking at the passersby, silently planning how to make Regan unable to ''enjoy'' her the next morning, and how to use sleeping pills. After all, he had already slept all night, and if he tried to sleep again in the morning, it would definitely arouse his suspicions.


    Let him have diarrhea? That wouldn''t do. She had no laxatives at home, so she could buy them now, but there was no pharmacy nearby. If she went to look for them again, she would be delayed for a long time.


    Just when Qi Qi was worrying about herself, she accidentally saw an electronic company across from her. Right, she didn''t have any communication tools on hand right now, so she couldn''t contact the outside world in time. Buying a phone was also very important.


    Fortunately, she had brought enough money with her today. After telling the boss to prepare the key as soon as possible, she headed over to the e-business across the street.


    After buying the phone as fast as he could, and buying an unreal phone card at double the price, Qi Qi saw something good on the side of the counter, a voice-changing device.


    She quickly took out her money to buy another sound modulator and packed all the items into her purse before returning to the key shop. Coincidentally, when she returned, the key was already there.


    Qi Qi smiled with her matching keys, then touched her backpack, then happily hailed a taxi and rushed to the villa.


    After returning to the villa, Qi Qi gently opened the door and locked it from the inside. She took off her running shoes and carefully wiped away the stains on the soles of her shoes before putting the key back into Regan''s briefcase.


    She went upstairs to look at Regan, who was still sleeping soundly, and let out a sigh of relief.


    He turned around and walked out of the bedroom. Then, he turned the phone in his hand into a mute mode and hid both his phone and key in a potted plant in the corner of the living room''s sofa.


    After all this was done, he lay down on the sofa and closed his eyes to think about what to do in the morning.

 C92

    The next day, at dawn, 77 woke up. First, she looked around the living room, and after seeing no one else who shouldn''t have appeared, she sat up, rubbed her head with both hands, and felt a slight tingling sensation on her scalp that allowed her to wake up in the shortest amount of time possible.


    Perhaps it was because she had rested for the night, but the method that she had not thought of the night before suddenly flashed through her mind.


    She carefully went upstairs and opened the bedroom door to take a look at the bed. Seeing that Regan was still peacefully sleeping on the bed without any signs of waking up, she quickly went downstairs and took out the cell phone and the sound modulator that she had hidden in the potted plant last night. She hid in the toilet on the first floor.


    After she quickly organized her thoughts, she took out her phone and dialed the number that she remembered. Soon, a distant but polite voice came over the phone.


    "Hello, Lei Clan, where are you looking?"


    "Your son is in my hands. If you want your son to live, then prepare three million. I will give you a call later!" He said this into the voice modulator. Without waiting for a reply, he immediately pressed the end of the call button and turned off his phone.


    Because she had been in a hurry the night before, she had only bought this phone card. Although the Thunder House had used a retro landline and there had been no caller ID, it would have been easy to find this number if they had gone to the operator to call the records, so, although it was a pity, this card could only have been thrown away after this one. Fortunately, she had copied the key to the front door yesterday, so it was convenient to leave the house if she could find out that Regan wasn''t there.


    He took the phone card off his phone and threw it into the flush toilet. Then, he quickly went into the living room and hid his phone back in the potted plant.


    Soon, she heard the sound of a cell phone vibrating from the briefcase on the sofa. 77 knew that it must be a call from Regan''s parents.


    Regan had a habit: he never turned on his cell phone to ring it because he was afraid that it would affect his work during an important meeting. Although he hated Regan, he had to admit that aside from his perverted needs in bed, he still behaved well in other areas. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have been able to catch up so easily.


    Rejen''s habit had given her an excuse not to answer the phone. If he had asked, she would have simply refused to hear.


    Lei Jie was the only son of the Lei Family, so he was naturally the treasured child in the hands of his parents. He received a kidnapping call early in the morning, and couldn''t contact anyone on his phone. As a parent, how could he not be anxious?


    There were no landlines installed in this villa, so to confirm that he wasn''t here, the only option was to come or send someone here personally. However, based on the memory of how much Mother Thunder thought of Regan, they would definitely come personally, or even bring police here.


    With her left hand on her chest and her right hand resting on her left, she tapped her chin lightly with her index and middle fingers. She was considering whether she should take this opportunity to annoy Regan and make him do something to her.


    With the Lei Family''s power in Y city, it would be easy for them to seal the mouths of a few small policemen. If she wanted to get rid of Regan, not only would she need to use violence, but she would also need to win the support of public opinion. The matter of her being raped would have to be made public, but she had to think of a way to make Regan do it in front of everyone, including the live videos.


    Half an hour later, an anxious knocking sound came from the door. The corner of Qi Qi Qi''s mouth widened into a pleased smile, and then she immediately hid her smile. She first walked to the entrance and loudly asked, "Who is it?"


    "I''m your mother-in-law. Hurry and open the door!" Mother Lei''s exasperated voice came from outside the door. Her son''s life and death was unknown, but this daughter-in-law was actually staying at home as usual. She really was a bereaved star.


    "Mom, I''m sorry. I don''t have a key and I can''t open the door. Wait a moment! I''ll get Regan. "


    After replying to this sentence, Qi Qi Qi purposely emphasized her footsteps so that the people standing outside could hear her leaving.


    When she heard Regan say he was home, she felt relieved. But then she realized something was wrong. Both of them were at home. Why were they locking the door? And as the hostess, Gao Qiqi actually didn''t have the key to the door?


    Even though she had a lot of questions, Mother Lei suppressed them down rationally. If there was any problem, she wouldn''t be late to ask after seeing her son. Right now, the first thing she needed to do was to make sure that her precious son was safe.


    The two policemen standing outside the door also heard Qi Qi Qi''s answer. After they looked at each other, one of them asked, "Mrs. Lei, since the noble young master is safe, I believe that the phone call this morning was just a prank. We''ll leave first.


    "Good, I''m really sorry for troubling you. I''ve let you come here for nothing. It''s just that this kind of prank is too bad. I hope you can help me find this person as soon as possible so that he can receive the appropriate punishment."


    "Of course, of course." The two policemen were polite for a while before turning around and leaving, leaving Mother Lei standing alone at the villa''s entrance.


    Qi Qi opened the bedroom door and went in. He first tried pushing on the sleeping Regan, but seeing him frown but did not open his eyes, he increased his strength and pushed on Regan''s back.


    Regan finally opened his eyes. When he saw Qiqi standing beside him, he pulled her onto the bed with his large hand. With a flip of his body, he pressed down heavily on top of her.


    Seven Seven put both hands on his chest to prevent him from getting too close to him. Before Regan used violence, he opened his mouth first, "Mother is here, I''m waiting for you right at the door. I don''t have a key to open the door, so hurry up and open it for mother!"


    Hearing that his mother was waiting at the entrance of the building, Regan had to force himself to calm down even if he wanted to vent his anger on this woman.


    With both hands supporting him, he jumped down from Number Seven and sat up with his feet on the ground. Then he stretched out his hands to rub his face to make himself look more energetic. He cursed under his breath and stepped on his slippers to open the door.


    When Qi Qi went downstairs, she happened to see Mother Lei complaining as she entered the house.


    "I called you so many times in the morning, why didn''t you answer? Do you know that I''m about to die from anxiety, and your father almost fainted. Luckily, I wanted to come here to confirm something, or else we would have fallen into someone else''s trap! "


    Lei Qi''s brain was a bit muddled from being confused by Mother Lei''s words. He couldn''t understand a single word she was saying due to the fact that he had just woken up.


    "Mom, what are you talking about? "What do you mean you''re about to die from anxiety? What do you mean by falling into someone else''s trap? I didn''t understand a single word of it."


    Mother Ley turned around and glared fiercely at Regan. However, seeing that Regan''s expression was indeed innocent, she thought that he could not be blamed for being mischievous. Thus, she sighed and gave up.


    "Forget it, this matter isn''t your fault."


    When Mother Lei turned around and walked back into the living room, she saw Seventh Seven coming down the stairs. She immediately thought of the question at the door, turned around and asked, "You guys are safe and sound at home, why are you locking the door?" Furthermore, why don''t you have the key for Qi Qi, but I''m here today. If there''s a guest or something, would you let them wait outside for so long? "


    "Mom ¡­" "I ¡­" Seven Fields looked at Regan in fear. Just as he opened his mouth to speak, Regan forcefully cut him off.


    "Mom, we live in a remote place, afraid that it will be unsafe at night, so we locked the door." Mom, we live in a remote place, afraid that it won''t be safe at night, so we locked the door. I will immediately have Seventh Seven prepare. "


    Seeing that her son''s explanation was reasonable and that he was concerned about her as soon as he opened his mouth, Mother Ley naturally wouldn''t bring up this insignificant topic again. With Regan''s support, she gracefully sat on the sofa in the living room.


    "There''s no need for food. When we received that mischievous call this morning, your dad and I had pretty much finished our meal. Just give me a glass of water."


    With a look at him, Regan motioned for Seventh Seven to pour the water. Seventh Seven obediently lowered his head and entered the kitchen.


    After a while, she said with a pained heart, "Why do I feel like you''ve gotten skinnier? I called your cell phone to pick you up in the morning and called your secretary, she said you booked the plane last night, if you''re too tired, then you should take a good rest. Why do you have to make the trip so full?"


    "Mom, it''s fine. I''ve been away for so long, so I can''t be at ease even if Qi Qi is alone at home."


    "Just get used to her! It''s just that I''m afraid that she might not appreciate your kindness, like that time before, you guys just had a quarrel with her, which couple doesn''t want to argue, they just shut the door, directly solving the problem, and then she would go home and complain to her parents, luckily her parents are not as ignorant as she is, when you guys were dating, I had already opposed you guys, and thought she was petty, but you don''t want to listen, okay, now that you''re married into the family, she did pick up on you, okay? "


    When Qi Qi was pouring the water, she just happened to hear Mother Lei''s evaluation of her. She gave a deep snort and thought that this mother and son pair were really the same type of people, but her face still remained respectful without a trace of dissatisfaction.


    Mother Lei also saw 70-70. Immediately, a hint of awkwardness flashed across her face. After all, she was from a big family, yet she was the one who said bad things behind the scenes. She felt a bit awkward.


    She took the bottle of water from him, coughed to clear the awkwardness, then looked at him and said with a serious expression, "You and my son have been married for so long, you are his wife. Don''t stay at home all day and go out and socialize a lot, only then will it be useful for my son''s future career."


    She opened her mouth to say yes, but before she could say it, Regan beat her to it.

 C93

    "Mom, don''t make things difficult for me. She''s a bit introverted, so she''s not suitable to socialize with strangers. I''ll work hard for my own career." Seeing the disapproval on his mother''s face, Regan quickly explained, "Also, mom, aren''t you in a hurry to carry your grandson? Qi Qi and I are currently preparing for pregnancy, so we shouldn''t interfere with the things happening outside. Isn''t it more important to have a child as soon as possible?"


    She immediately changed her original attitude and nodded, "What you said makes sense. As long as you can continue the family line as soon as possible, since you have your own plans, I won''t interfere in the lives of the two of you."


    Hearing this, she gave a loud humph in her heart. According to the images she had seen, every time they were in the same bed, Lei Jie had taken very strict measures to protect himself. He didn''t want any children at all, and now he said it in a very decent way, but as for whether he didn''t like them, or whether he was worried that he might not be able to satisfy his perverted needs, she didn''t know. However, she guessed that the latter was more likely to be the case.


    After confirming that his son was fine, he had nothing to say to Qi Qi. Lei''s mother then said a few words of caution to his body before taking her leave.


    Qi Qi meekly stood by Regan''s side and watched Mother Thunder leave. As Mother Thunder''s car drove away, the man beside her closed the door and put his arm around her waist, pushing her behind the door.


    She did not conceal the resistance she felt towards him. It would be strange if he did not resist after being tormented by Regan to such an extent.


    She timidly looked up at Regan and begged, "It''s 8: 30 already, you''re going to be late for work!"


    Regan looked at the woman in his arms, who was scared stiff, and wanted to throw her onto the bed. This time, he had brought a lot of new things from the outside, just in time to try them out on her.


    But he really didn''t have enough time. The main purpose of this trip was to negotiate an important cooperation case, and since he was done with the negotiations, the other party only needed to wait for him to come back and prepare a more detailed proposal before signing the contract. So today, he really had no choice but to go to the company.


    He lifted his hand and looked at his watch. Yesterday, before boarding the plane, he had arranged for the departments to hold a meeting at 9 o''clock today. He only had 30 minutes. He had to leave immediately to catch up with the meeting.


    Lei Zhan looked at Seventh Seven and still couldn''t accept it. He lowered his head and bit onto her thin white neck. It wasn''t until he tasted the rust that he finally let go of Seventh Seven.


    She knew that as long as she showed the slightest bit of pleading, this perverted man might really throw away all of his duties and have his lust for beasts onto her. Compared to being touched by this disgusting man, she would be able to endure if he bit her. She would just be bitten like she was a snake and go back to get tetanus.


    Regan looked up, ran his tongue over the blood on his lips, pinched the side of his chin, lifted her face high, and stared at the wound on her neck with burning eyes. "You''re still as delicious as ever, there''s no time now. Wash yourself at night and wait for me."


    With that, he went upstairs to change his clothes and go out. He stayed at home for another half hour or so, making sure he wouldn''t come back for his things. Then he turned around, took his cell phone and keys from the potted plant, opened the door, and ran as fast as he could to the nearby bus stop.


    While sitting on the bus, Qi Qi went through the things she had to do today in her mind one by one. Time was limited, and she had to spend the least time doing the most things.


    In a while, when she reached the city, she would first have to buy a few more phone cards, in case she needed them in case she needed them, in addition to the transportation problems, if she couldn''t beat a freak like Regan before she had enough combat strength, she could at least run away, but she wasn''t sure how much money she had in the car right now, and it seemed like she would have to go to the bank later. She remembered that Gao Qiqi had a driver''s license, so if the money was sufficient, she could buy a car instead of a bus every time she went out.


    But where would he park the car? It was impossible to stop at the villa, as it was too easy to be discovered by Regan.


    The villa she was living in was too remote. There was no other building in the vicinity apart from another small white house a few hundred meters away, which she had taken care to look out for when she passed by in the morning. It didn''t look like anyone was living in it, and if she could get into the courtyard of the building, she could park there temporarily.


    Chapter Seven was so lost in her own thoughts, so oblivious to what was going on around her, that she was startled when a speeding car roared past her, the roar and the rush of air coming through the open window.


    Subconsciously, she looked towards the source of the voice. However, all she saw was a red car tail and half of the head sticking out from the convertible''s seat.


    She mumbled ''coquettish'' and was about to lower her head to think about her own matters when she seemed to remember something. She immediately raised her head and wanted to take a look at the red sports car again, but there was no trace of it.


    Qi Qi let out a bitter laugh and silently cursed at herself for thinking too much. Just what could she see from that half head that flashed by? Why did he feel that this person was familiar? He didn''t even see his face, how could he be familiar with him!


    Very soon, Qi Qi Jian forgot about this little episode. This mission, the situation was still rather serious, so she had to put all her effort into it.


    Soon, the car stopped at the center of the city. Qi Qi purposely bypassed the shop that bought the phone card and found a new phone shop nearby. He paid three times the price and bought multiple unknown phone cards.


    After getting the call card, she immediately found a bank nearby and handed her bank card and ID card to the staff member to help change the password. Yes, she didn''t know the password.


    When Qi Qi saw the bank card and couldn''t recall the password, she couldn''t help but complain about the company''s system again. Why couldn''t they just inject the client''s memory into the owner''s mind as described in the novels, so that she could know everything the original owner knew, instead of what she was now, only what had been on the TV wall and what hadn''t been broadcast didn''t.


    After signing a few confirmation letters, the password on the bank card was finally changed. Seven Fields also let the staff check the balance.


    When the statement of income and expenditure with the balance was handed over to Seventh Seven, Seventh Seven was shocked by the large number on it. So this Seventh Seven was actually so rich, so rich, and yet she was actually trapped at home with no way of escaping?!


    A phrase suddenly flashed in Qi Qi Qi''s mind, ''mourn her misfortune, rage her not fighting''. Although due to family reasons, Gao Qi was relatively timid and cowardly, but with the money he had, he could easily escape with just a few people, and after escaping, he could withdraw all the money and hide in a place no one knew of, use the money to support himself, or even have his people help him with the procedures of going abroad. With the world at large, it would not be easy to find someone to hide from him, no matter how big the power of the Lei Family was!


    She quickly gathered her thoughts and got up to leave. She had to go to the car store to buy a car, and once she had bought a car, she had to find a remote place to make a phone call as soon as possible. She did not forget what Regan had said before he left the house in the morning.


    She found a shop nearby that sold 4S''s as she wished, and after looking at the 70-7 certificate, he readily agreed to help her purchase the license plates in the shortest time possible. As for the license plates, they were all already available; as long as she paid, she could drive the car away anytime.


    Without wasting any time, he swiped his card, got into his car, and drove out of the 4S store under the astonished gaze of the staff member.


    First, she filled the car with gas. Then, she drove the car in the opposite direction of the villa. When she arrived at a remote location, she took out a mobile phone card and inserted it into her phone and dialed Regan''s number.


    The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered. Qi Qi Qi guessed that Regan was probably in a meeting, so she patiently waited until the other end of the phone rang with a "Hello".


    She quickly lowered her voice to the sound modulator and said, "Rejane, I''ve already installed a bomb in your company''s building, if you want the bomb to not explode, I''ll give you a day to raise 5 million. As for how the money is given to me, I''ll inform you again, and remember not to call the police, I''m very clear on every single one of your actions, if you call the police, I''ll detonate the bomb at any time."


    Finishing this, Qi Qi immediately hung up the phone and took out the phone card. It first broke, then she threw it into a nearby pond.


    He was not a brainless person, and would definitely let the building''s security check out the danger at the first possible moment. She had purposely controlled the time when she had spoken, so the police would not be able to find out the exact location of the broadcast. Even if they could find out how far away this place was from the villa, they would not be able to connect it to her.


    What she wanted was not to make him believe her, but to try his best to keep him from going home for the next two days and receive threatening phone calls. Even if it was just a prank, it was annoying because with Rejen''s personality, he would definitely want to catch the person behind him. Doing all of this would take a lot of his time, and as long as she could keep him busy for two or three days, her goal would be achieved.

    A few days ago, she was only focused on improving her physical strength, so she didn''t pay any attention to what was inside the villa. Since she wanted to take care of Regan, she could use his tools to deal with him.


    When the car drove up to the entrance of the small white building, Qi Qi got off the car and walked in front of the carved iron gate, through which she peeked inside.


    From a distance, this small building looked extremely quiet. It didn''t seem like someone was living in it, but from close up, it didn''t look like anyone was living in it. At least this courtyard was neatly tidied up without any wild grass growing on it.


    Just as Qi Qi Qi was leaning on the iron door, wanting to take a closer look, she heard the familiar sound of a motor.


    Qi Qi jumped in fright and hurriedly turned around to take a look. She saw that the red sports car that she had just seen this morning was parked next to her new black SUV. The black and red were in sharp contrast.


    A pair of long legs in beige slacks stepped down from the sportscar, and Qi Qi looked up along his legs. What she saw was an abnormally tall and straight figure, perfectly straight and warm, with a refined smile on his face, which didn''t match with his slutty sportscar at all.


    "This lady, did something fall into my courtyard?"


    "Err ¡­" "No, no, I live in a small villa over there. Usually it''s very quiet here, I don''t know if there''s anyone living there. Thus, out of curiosity, I came over to take a look." Qi Qi Qi quickly pointed at the nearby brown roof, showing that she didn''t have any bad intentions.


    "So it''s a neighbor!" "Hello, my name is Zhen Ping. Nice to meet you!"


    Qi Qi stared at the man''s extended right hand, his fingers long and slender, his nails neatly trimmed. It could be seen that this was a clean person, but why was this hand so familiar to her? It was as if someone had done this to her before.


    It was only then that Qi Qi Qi realized she was staring at his hand in a daze. She quickly reached out her hand to shake it lightly, but she couldn''t help but blush. "I''m Gao Qi, sorry to bother you. I still have something to do, so I''ll take my leave first!"


    Because of the awkwardness, Qi Hua and Zhen Ping''s hands only slightly shook before withdrawing them. They raised their heads and hurriedly said a few words to each other, then turned around and prepared to leave.


    "Miss Gao, if there is anything you need help with, please do not hesitate to tell me. Although I am not a busybody, but if my neighbors are in trouble, I am very willing to help!"


    Qi Qi Qi didn''t know if she was overthinking it or not, but she still felt that this person seemed to have some hidden meaning behind his words, as if he knew something. However, from what she could remember, he probably had never interacted with this person before.


    When Zhen Ping saw Caiqi looking back at him, he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to him. "There''s my phone number here. If you need any help, contact me anytime."


    With that said, Zhen Ping pressed the key in his hand and the iron door slowly opened. It turned out to be an electronic door.


    Qi Qi saw Zhen Ping get back into the sports car and started the engine, ready to drive further in. She remembered the original purpose of this small building, she hastily took a few steps forward and pulled his door. "Mr. Zhen, can I trouble you with something?"


    Zhen Ping turned off the engine again and sat in the car. He looked up at Qi Qi and raised his eyebrows slightly, indicating that she should speak freely.


    "Mm ¡­" Due to some reasons, I can''t park my car at home. I see that the courtyard in Mr. Zhen''s side is quite spacious. Can I borrow my car for a while? It would be rude to make such a request, but don''t worry, this car won''t stop for long. I will solve the problem of parking it as soon as possible. "


    It was really because there was no place to park the car and it was too flat and open to hide the car''s tracks. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have rashly opened his mouth to talk to a stranger.


    Zhen Ping muttered to himself for a while. Right when Qi Qi Qi thought he would refuse, he lowered his head and took out an electronic key from the key ring in his hand, and handed it over to Qi Qi.


    This is the key to the door, and Miss Gao only opened her mouth to show that she really needed it, it was just a small matter, I have no reason not to help. Miss Gao, you can stop as long as you want, just remember to close the door. Zhen Ping smiled and joked for a bit. It was obvious that he was willing to help.


    This person looked easy to get along with, but the more she talked with this person, the more familiar she felt. She shook her head slightly, wanting to shake off this ridiculous thought, she was a soul, traveling through different mission worlds, in this world of seven to seven, she simply didn''t know anyone. To feel this kind of familiarity towards a stranger was simply too baffling.


    "Mr Zhen, I really appreciate your help. Don''t worry, I won''t forget to close the door."


    Zhen Ping nodded and didn''t say anything more. He drove into the courtyard, and when Qi Qi saw this, she also turned around and got into the car. Then, she followed Zhen Ping''s car into the courtyard.


    After parking the car, Qi Qi initially wanted to politely thank Zhen Ping, but when she walked to his car, she saw him holding his phone and talking to someone. She didn''t want to disturb him, so she made a gesture to leave first.


    "Is everything ready?" Zhen Ping looked at the disappearing figure of Qi 7 as he asked his opponent in a low voice.


    "Find a place to stay nearby, I''ll call you guys if I need anything. I''ll tell you guys what to do when the time comes." After hearing the answer, Zhen Ping gave a few simple instructions and then got out of the car to enter the small building. He stood at the entrance to the hall and looked at the living room that he hadn''t finished cleaning; he couldn''t help but frown and the corner of his mouth curled up into a helpless smile.


    "Little girl, what kind of mission is hard to accept? Why did you have to accept such a mission? I rushed over here in a hurry, I didn''t even have time to prepare."


    Although he complained, Zhen Ping still took off his jacket and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt. He took out a bucket of water and a cloth from the bathroom and started cleaning up.


    Qi Qi opened the door and saw that there was no one in the house before she finally relaxed. Although she knew it was unlikely, she was still worried that Lei Zhan would come back when she was out.


    She went upstairs to the master bedroom that she hadn''t been to for over a week. She opened the wardrobe and, despite all the preparations she had made, she still couldn''t help but feel goosebumps when she saw the whole closet full of abnormal equipment.


    Qi Qi could only rub his arms hard. After the numbness in his hands subsided, he took out a few tissues from the bedside table, used them to cover his hands and took a look at them.


    The leather whips, candles, and ropes were actually the most common tools in this pile of tools. 77 discovered that many of them still had traces of dried up blood on them.


    She endured the nausea and rummaged around for a while. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, she closed the cabinet door and walked out of the bedroom. The bedroom felt extremely dirty, and she wished she could complete her mission as soon as possible.


    There was something good about this place. From her vantage point, she could always see if Regan was back, although she could also be seen by the other people, but because she was hidden behind the balcony railing, it was impossible to see what she was doing at first glance, and she had plenty of time to get out of the way before anyone saw her.


    However, Qi Qi had forgotten that other than Lei Jie, who was on guard against her, there was another man who could clearly see her in the small white building not too far away.


    Zhen Ping was standing at the window, holding a cup of coffee in his hand. As he drank the coffee, he looked at the slim figure on the balcony not too far away with a playful expression on his face.


    That''s right. Although it had been so long, his agility was still the same. However, his physical strength seemed to be very weak. He was already gasping for air. It seemed like he still needed to train harder.


    Seven stood on the balcony with her hands on her hips, took a few deep breaths, adjusted her own rapid breathing, then looked down at the time on her watch. Two hours, a lot more than she had in less than half an hour, but that wasn''t enough.


    Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Qi Qi continued practicing. She didn''t have much time, and needed to recover her stamina in the shortest amount of time possible.


    After receiving the threatening call, as seven or seven had predicted, he called the company to check up and down to see if there was a bomb in the building, then immediately dialed the police station and told them all about the threatening call.


    The police quickly sent out a bomb disposal expert, but after checking for a few times and finding nothing out of the ordinary, they concluded that this was a prank, just like the kidnapping call that Mother Ley received earlier.


    It was only after listening to the police''s description that Regan remembered that his mother had suddenly come to find him today. At that time, his mother hadn''t explained in detail, and he hadn''t asked in detail either. Only now did he know about this matter.


    "The phone call this morning. Did you find anything?" He had received two such calls in a row. Furthermore, the other party had clearly reported his name. This meant that the other party knew him very well. Otherwise, they would not have known his private number.


    Even if it was just a prank, it wouldn''t cause any real harm to him. But to have someone secretly harboring such malicious intentions towards him made him feel uncomfortable. Moreover, he couldn''t be sure whether this person would actually take action or not.


    "There hasn''t been any progress yet. We got the call log from the operator and found the number, but this number is not a real number. It was just activated this morning and the time spent on the call was too short. We are unable to pinpoint the exact location, so ¡­"


    "So you guys are prepared to give up!" He obviously could not accept such an answer.

 C95

    "No, that''s not it. Mister Lei has misunderstood. The safety of our citizens has been threatened, how could we just leave it at that. It''s just that, the investigation requires time ¡­" The leader of the squad quickly explained with a smile, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Regan.


    "Time?" "In the end, how much time do you need? I received another call like this in the afternoon before the person in the morning could be found. Luckily, I''m fine now. If something really happens, will you guys be able to take responsibility?"


    "Mr. Ley, please believe me, we also hope to catch the culprit, but there are too few clues, and it is really difficult for us to do so!" Under Regan''s rude questioning, the Chief of Police''s face turned a little ugly.


    "If the other party calls again, I''ll try to delay them as long as I can. If you can''t pinpoint the location of this person, then I''ll have to talk to your bureau chief, hmph!" With these threatening words, Regan turned around and walked back to his desk. As if there was no one around, he started working.


    The policemen stood on the spot and looked at each other. There was a message in their eyes. It was really hard to be served by a rich person, but who told them to be involved? No matter how unwilling they were, they still had to obediently wait here.


    When it was time for him to get off work, his phone still didn''t ring. He put down his pen and stared at his phone for a while. It seemed like he wouldn''t be able to go home tonight.


    "Mr. Lei, if you have something to do, can you do it? We can send someone to protect you, so that we won''t waste your time! " The Chief of Police sat there for an entire afternoon, feeling very aggrieved. There were still many cases to follow up, and it wasn''t a good idea for them to sit here doing nothing. Moreover, this case was obviously a prank for others.


    "No need, just wait here. If you haven''t received your call by tomorrow morning, you can leave." Reggie ignored the captain''s advice, dropped the sentence with a cold face, and went into the office''s waiting room.


    After a while, a secretary came in to deliver the food and specially sent a delicate packing case into the bedroom.


    "Captain Li, are we just going to stay here?" The young policeman at the side asked without lifting his head as he ate the box lunch in front of him.


    "If not, what else can we do? "Do you have a way to find out who called?"


    Captain Li had nowhere to vent his anger on. Right now, his words were filled with the smell of gunpowder.


    The policeman who was scolded for no reason shrank his neck and buried his head into his food, not daring to make a sound.


    He had been hungry for so long that he thought he could have a full meal today. He had not expected to encounter such a situation and not be caught, how could he have the heart to go home, if the other party really set a bomb in a corner of the building and he was triggered, then his career would be ruined.


    He actually wanted to call Qi Seventh to come here, but he was afraid that she would run off somewhere along the way. The other person also didn''t have a phone at home, so he couldn''t contact her at all.


    There was another way, and that was to send someone to pick her up. If she let someone into the villa, wouldn''t that mean her preferences were exposed to the public? His reputation could not stand such a negative impact.


    After thinking about it for a long time, Regan could only give up. When this matter came to an end, he would return and properly vent his anger.


    Regan waited at the company for two days, and so did the members of the Criminal Police. For the next two days, he didn''t even receive a private phone call, let alone a extortion call.


    "We citizens have paid taxes for nothing, right? If you can''t even find the source of this call, what are you doing normally? Do you really know how to play cards and eat melon seeds? " The pent-up anger he had accumulated for many days was nowhere to be vented. Right now, they were beginning to speak without restraint while grabbing onto Captain Li.


    Captain Li had been imprisoned here for two days. Those who could not eat well or sleep well had long been on the verge of exploding out with emotion. Now that he was mocked by Regan, rage filled his face.


    The police officer standing on the side was afraid that if the two of them clashed, his boss would suffer a loss. He quickly reached out and tugged at Captain Li''s sleeve, urging him in a low voice, "Captain Li, we''ve already endured for two days, don''t be angry. If we do, our two days of patience would have gone to waste."


    Captain Li clenched his fist and suppressed the anger in his heart. He explained for the first time with a cold face, "Mr. Lei, we can''t trace the source without the other party calling us. The only thing we can change is the number and time we got from illegal trade, we have no way to confirm the identity of the other party.


    After saying that, Captain Li bent down to pick up the briefcase on the sofa, and when he straightened up again, he added, "Mister Lei, it''s useless for us to continue sitting here, it''s just a waste of our police force. If you''re worried about your safety, I''ll apply for manpower to protect you closely, and during this period of time, for your own safety, please do not go out with Mr. Lei. If you have any leads, please contact us in a timely manner, and we will take our leave today."


    Without waiting for Regan''s reply, Captain Li signaled for everyone to follow him back. Although the surrounding policemen were a little afraid that Regan would take revenge later, they were more satisfied and happy.


    Regan sat in his office chair as he watched the police officers file out. His hands, which had been placed on the wooden desk, were clenched into fists. Dark clouds flashed across his eyes.


    Then, he stood up, picked up his coat from the back of the chair, put it on, and left the office with his briefcase. Before leaving, he told his secretary that he would not be back at the office for a day.


    The secretary knew that he had been in an irritable mood for the past two days, so he did not say anything and could only obediently agree.


    The anger he had been holding for the past few days, and the anger he had just been feeling, made him unable to vent it out to those stinking policemen. Now, he could only vent it all out to seventy percent of his anger, and fortunately, he had locked her in his house and was able to provide him with an outlet to vent his anger. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Regan''s angry face.


    As soon as Regan''s car entered the second floor of the villa, Qi Qi saw his trail, so she hastily ended her practice, ran downstairs, and hid at the door. If it was not necessary, she didn''t want to face Regan head on.


    Right after Qi Qi hid herself, the sound of a key turning came from the door. She held up the baseball bat in her hand tighter.


    The moment the door was opened, she quickly and forcefully struck at the back of Regan''s neck. The muffled sound of a baseball bat hitting a person could be heard, and then Regan''s body collapsed limply to the ground.


    After knocking him down, Qi Qi quickly closed the door behind her to prevent anyone from discovering the abnormality in this place, and then squatted down to check on Regan''s breath. She was confident that she could use her strength to avoid killing him, but she still had to confirm that the original owner''s wish was to divorce Regan, not kill him.


    She stood up and looked around to see if there was anywhere she could tie him up, but after looking around, she couldn''t find any suitable furniture in the living room at all. The bedroom on the second floor had the right furniture, and after throwing him onto the bed, the four bedposts would fit him perfectly, but if she had to carry such a large person up to the second floor, it would be too much trouble for her, not to mention she didn''t have enough strength, even if she had to carry him, what if Zane Lei woke up on the way? Therefore, this method was obviously not feasible.


    When she saw the table and the chairs, a smile finally appeared on her face. She quickly walked over and first touched the chair to see if it was solid, but after some thought she gave up. She could help Regan sit in the chair and tie him up, but when she tied him to the chair, her hands would have to be untied.


    She walked around the dining room again until her eyes fell on the dining room table in the middle of the room. It was made of solid wood and had four long legs, just big enough to tie up Regan''s limbs.


    She pushed the dining table away. Although it was heavy, it was still possible to overturn it with her strength. Since she had chosen the target, she didn''t waste any time and moved all the vases and things that were originally placed on the dining table away. Then she grabbed the patterns on one side of the table with both hands and turned it to the side with all her strength.


    When the table flipped over, there was a loud noise, and Qi Qi Qi quickly looked out to see that Regan was still lying in the hallway, afraid that this noise would wake him up.


    Flipping the table over, he once again confirmed that all four corners of the table were secure. He quickly ran towards the second floor, entered the master bedroom, opened the wardrobe, and removed all of Regan''s hidden SM ropes.


    He threw the rope in the direction of the cafeteria, then ran over to Regan''s side, grabbed his arms, and dragged him toward the cafeteria. Regan was on his face, and so he was dragged to the dining hall.


    She could not tell if it was an instinctive reaction of his or if he was really awake, but there was definitely no time to stop now. She increased her speed, using all the strength she could muster to drag him to the side of the table that had been overturned.


    He didn''t even dare to waste time taking a breather. He put both his hands on Regan''s waist and pushed him towards the table. Although the table was placed close to the ground, there were still some slight bulges around. Pushing someone into the table took a lot of effort.


    With great difficulty, she managed to push him away. Qi Qi Qi then hurriedly picked up a rope from the side, and quickly tied Regan''s four limbs to the four legs of the table. After that, she pulled on the rope again to make sure that she wouldn''t be easily broken free, then stood up, gasping for air, taking a short break.


    When she was almost done resting, she rolled her eyes and suddenly thought of something. She ran barefoot to the master bedroom on the second floor, opened the cabinet to find what she was looking for, and quickly ran back to the dining room to pour out the pills in her hands. The pink ones that were held between her white hands looked small and cute.


    At this moment, the unconscious Regan also started to move. 77 noticed that his fingers slightly moved, and then the eyeballs under his eyelids moved left and right. Thus, she squatted beside Regan, calmly waiting for him to completely sober up.

 C96

    "Seventy-seven?!" The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was her smiling face, a smile he had rarely seen since their marriage. He wanted to reach out and touch her face, but he couldn''t move.


    He immediately turned his head to look at his hand, and when he saw that his four limbs were bound to the four feet on the table, he turned his head to look at Seventh Brother who was squatting beside him in shock. Soon, he recalled that when he just entered the room, he was hit on the back of the head. "Hurry up and let me go!"


    He tried to lift his head, wanting to spit out what was in his mouth, but just as he did so, he wrapped his hands in a handkerchief and covered his mouth. His other hand lifted his chin, forcing him to swallow what was in his mouth.


    After confirming that Regan had swallowed the pill, he released the gag.


    "Seven Fields, what did you give me to eat?" As he spoke, he coughed with all his might, trying to clear his throat, but it was useless. He coughed for a long time, but nothing happened.


    At this time, Qi Qi Qi even stood up and calmly supported the chair that had been flipped over. Slowly and gracefully, he sat down on it, grinning as he watched Big Thunder''s sorry state.


    "Don''t be afraid, isn''t this the pink pill you forced me to take before? I think since you like it so much, I''ll let you have a taste. "


    "You ¡­ Do you know what kind of medicine it is? This is to boost my mood, I can only take half a pill at a time. How much did you just give me? "


    "Aiya! I''m sorry, I didn''t read the manual carefully, but I think there are two, no, there are three, hmm ~ ~ seems to be wrong, hur hur, I can''t remember, why? Can''t you eat too much? "


    He did not dare to provoke her, so he could only restrain his temper and coax her, "Qi Qi Qi, no matter what, let me go first. We can discuss whatever matter you want. Something bad will happen to you if you act so recklessly!"


    Qi Qi Qi raised her hand and caressed her chin, as if she was deep in thought. Just when Regan thought that she would change her mind, she suddenly grinned. I just want to see something happen to you! "


    "You ¡­ Gao Seven, do you know that you''re breaking the law? Do you not want to live anymore? "


    "How could that be? I value my life so much. How about this? If you agree to one of my conditions, then I''ll let you go!"


    Reggie looked suspiciously at Seventh Seven, not knowing what was going on with her today. However, in his current situation, he was too passive. No matter what the conditions were, he could only agree to it.


    "Good!" Say it! "


    Qi Qi stood up leisurely and went upstairs to get the divorce agreement that she had made with her lawyer in the lawyer''s office during the past two days.


    She waved the agreement in front of Regan''s face, then took it back and shook it gently in her hand. "See, you signed this divorce agreement and let the lawyer handle it. I''ll let you go."


    "Impossible, I won''t get a divorce!" Without thinking, Rejen rejected her and let her go. Where else could he find a suitable woman who would not fight back?


    "So it''s like that! "Fine, since you don''t agree to a divorce, let''s just stay here. I also happen to want to see how your medicine will react after you overconsume it." After saying that, Qi Qi turned around and walked into the living room. She sat down on the sofa and turned on the television. She actually started watching the TV leisurely, ignoring the shouts and shouts of Regan who was tied up in the dining room.


    Regan struggled frantically, but the rope in his hands was strong and elastic. He was bound very tightly, and as he struggled, other than letting the rope enter into his flesh, he couldn''t break free at all.


    He only felt that his entire body was extremely hot and dry. Before he came back, he had already accumulated a large amount of burning desire, and now that he had taken this pill, his entire body felt even more uncomfortable. As he raised his head and looked down, he could see that his private parts were swelling up at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.


    At first, Rejen had tried to endure it, but he knew how overbearing it was, and it wasn''t long before he couldn''t take it anymore. Right now, he desperately wanted the body of a woman, but there was nothing he could do about it now that he was under control.


    "Gao Qiqi, let me go, or else, when I''m free, I''ll torture you to death!"


    Qi Qi sat on the sofa and listened to the constant threats coming from Regan. The corner of her mouth slightly twitched, but she didn''t react at all.


    Gradually, Regan was no longer able to say the complete sentence. He desperately twisted his body, wanting to use the cold air on the wooden table to cool his heart. However, this cold air was not only useless, but actually increased the discomfort he felt.


    "I''ll sign it, I''ll sign it. Hurry up and let me go."


    After getting the answer she wanted, he turned off the TV and walked back into the dining room. She placed the pen she had prepared in Regan''s right hand, then placed the agreement on his right hand.


    "Sign it. I''ll make you more comfortable after you sign it."


    "Gao Qiqi, don''t think that you can get rid of me just because you''re divorced. Do you believe that I can do whatever I want with you even without a marriage?" After all, he was unwilling to give up. Before signing, he glared at Qi Qi Qi and threatened her.


    "Letter, how could I not believe it? Alright, cut the crap. Hurry up and sign it!"


    Qi Seven pushed the contract away without any hesitation. Lei Zhan hated Qi Qi Jian''s nonchalant attitude, but now that the situation wasn''t good, he could only force himself to sign his name.


    "Alright, I''ll look for a lawyer to settle the paperwork first. You just stay here obediently, I''ll help you out later." Qi Qi grabbed a rag from the kitchen and stuffed it into Regan''s mouth, firmly blocking his mouth. Qi Qi then found a roll of adhesive tape and covered his mouth to prevent him from spitting out the cloth and making a sound.


    Wuu ¡­." Lei Zhan''s eyes widened as he looked in disbelief at Seventh Brother''s blatant words that he had not believed in.


    No matter how wide Regan''s eyes were, he still pretended that he couldn''t see. In front of Regan, he took out his phone from his pants pocket and made a call to the law firm.


    "Lawyer Zhang, the divorce agreement between my husband and I has been signed. It''s not convenient for me to go out right now, so I''ll have to trouble you to send someone over to get it."


    When did she get a cell phone? And why did she suddenly become so hard to deal with? His mind was filled with questions, but no one answered them. Coupled with his physical torture, Regan really wanted to faint at this moment.


    After an hour or so, the doorbell rang. 77 looked at Regan, whose cheeks were flushed red and clearly out of his mind, and closed the door before taking the divorce agreement to open the door.


    After the door was opened, Qi Qi saw a man in a black suit standing at the door. He was introducing himself to her politely, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face.


    "Are you Lady Gau? I was sent by a lawyer to get a divorce settlement. "


    "The divorce agreement is here." 77 handed over the signed divorce agreement to the man and continued, "Please inform Lawyer Zhang that you want to settle the divorce procedures as soon as possible. I''m packing my luggage right now, the room is a bit messy, so I won''t invite you in!"


    The man respectfully received the letter of agreement with both hands and placed it into the briefcase in front of Qi Qi Qi. He politely replied, "I will help you convey Lady Gao''s request. Is there anything else I need to pass on?"


    "There''s no need for anything else. Just inform me as soon as possible after the procedures have been completed."


    After seeing them off, he closed the door and went back into the dining room. He took a long leather tube from the kitchen equipment cabinet, attached it to the faucet, held it in his hand, and turned it on. When the other end of the tube began to water, she turned around and walked back to Regan.


    Rejen''s consciousness had already been half blurry, but now he felt a chill down his spine and his entire body shuddered.


    "This hose is used to save your life. If you don''t want to suffer too much, just hold it and take a shower for yourself so you can go to the fire. If you let go of the hose and it falls off, you can endure it."


    Finished speaking, Qi Qi stood up and walked out.


    He wanted to call Qi Qi to come back and untie him, but his mouth was stuffed with a cloth. Other than a slight ''wuwu'' sound, he had no other way to speak.


    When Qi Qi walked to the entrance of the dining hall, she closed the sliding door. Just as it was about to be completely closed, she smiled sinisterly at Regan, who was about to spew fire from his eyes.


    Returning to the living room, Qi Qi Qi picked up the briefcase that Lei Zhan left at the door, took out his phone, then found the secretary''s number in his contact list and dialed it.


    "Director Lei, what orders do you have!"


    "Hello, I''m Regan''s wife. It''s like this, he hasn''t had a good rest at the company for the past two days, he''s not feeling well, he''s hanging up at the hospital, it''s not convenient to call you, he told me to tell you that he won''t be going to the company for the next two days, if you have any urgent business you can relay it to his computer, he''ll deal with it in time, if there''s a document he wants to sign, someone can send it home."


    "Are you Mrs. Ray?" After the incident with the threats, the secretary wasn''t sure if he should believe his words. Even if Director Lei was in the hospital, making a phone call shouldn''t be affected, right?


    Yes, perhaps you are not very familiar with my voice. Normally, I would not interfere with my husband''s affairs, but this time, he is really sick, and he is temporarily unable to make a phone call. If you are worried, I will tell him and have him give you a call in a moment.

 C97

    If it had been a kidnapping, it wouldn''t have been so clear as to explain the business to him. And if he had really told his wife to call, she would have questioned his wife at a time when he was in a bad mood, and she was afraid that when he came back, she would have left.


    With that thought in mind, the secretary immediately changed to an apologetic tone, "No, that''s not necessary. Mrs Ley, I''m really sorry. It''s not that I don''t believe you. It''s just that Director Ley received a threatening phone call, so we have to be careful."


    I understand that you don''t need to worry about it. As Regan told me when he got back in the morning, that phone call should be a prank and you guys shouldn''t be too nervous. You can do whatever you want in normal times, just call my husband or call the police if there''s anything out of the ordinary.


    In his heart, he was calculating that he should be able to complete the divorce procedures in three days. Once the paperwork was done, she would pack her things and leave, and she would not be able to count on the Gao family. Fortunately, after marrying for so long, although Regan was a freak in bed, he had treated her well in terms of money.


    Qi Qi sat in the living room and watched the TV show leisurely, ignoring the light sound of water in the direction of the cafeteria. Zhen Ping, who was in the small white building, watched the scene on the screen and could not help but shake his head and chuckle.


    If he had known that she could deal with Regan so easily, he wouldn''t have rushed over from other worlds. Now, he didn''t even have the time to conceal his real body. If she met him in the company in the future, would she have suspected his identity?


    If she wanted to see him, she would need to finish her high-level mission, so she didn''t have to worry about this right now. Zhen Ping looked at the screen again to make sure that nothing would happen for the time being before leaving the study. He didn''t even eat breakfast, and since he was already in this world, he naturally needed to enjoy some delicious food.


    77 It was only in the afternoon that she returned to the dining room. When she saw the room full of water stains and the drenched, yet still constantly watering, Regan, she tiptoed over to his side with a clucking sound and squatted down in front of Regan''s cannibalistic eyes.


    "How is it? Are you comfortable? "


    Regan wailed, but because his mouth was gagged, there was no way to express what he was doing. Seven Seven reached out to his ear and tore off the adhesive tape on his mouth.


    Seeing this, Lei Jie hurriedly used his tongue to push the cloth out of his mouth. His mouth was already aching from having such a big lump of stuff stuffed into it, and there were also some lacerations at the corner of his mouth. He cried out lightly in pain, but he endured the pain and moved his mouth that had already stiffened a little, then raised his head and glared at seventy or seventy percent.


    "Gao Qiqi, how dare you treat me like that! Wait until I leave this place, I''ll show you what I can do!"


    "Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! I''ve heard that Lei Zhan is a master of business, but in my opinion, he''s only so-so. Even so, you still don''t recognize reality. Aren''t you afraid that if you anger me, I''ll just kill you and silence you?"


    Hearing Qi Qi Qi''s words, Lei Jie was dumbfounded. After a long while, he stammered, "You ¡­. "How dare you!"


    "Ha!" Don''t you know whether I dare or not just by looking at it? " He stood up and walked over to the refrigerator, humming a song as he dug out ingredients to prepare dinner for himself.


    Opening the fridge, Qi Qi estimated the dishes she would need in the next few days. She only took out a few tomatoes, a few eggs, and a piece of pork. At night, she could make some red braised pork and tomato egg soup.


    After mixing the sauce for the Red Braised Meat, he poured it into the meat that had already been stir-fried. He threw a few pieces of octagonal and fragrant leaves into the pot.


    After being tied up for a day, he struggled desperately for a whole day. By now, he was hungry, so he raised his head with all his might, wanting to see what was going on in the kitchen. But with his posture, everything he saw was upside down.


    As Qi Qi waited for the Red Braised Meat to simmer, she hummed a song and started washing the tomatoes.


    After the tomato was done washing, he put it on the chopping board and picked up the kitchen knife. Just as he was about to cut it open, he suddenly remembered that the rice had not been cooked yet.


    The electric cooker was placed on the kitchen counter. When Qi Qi pressed the button to cook, she unconsciously looked in the direction of the dining hall and saw Regan tilting his head as he continuously swallowed his saliva.


    77 laughed out loud. He wiped his wet hands on his apron and walked over to Regan. While he was squatting down, he reached out and pushed his forehead.


    "What is it? Hungry? "


    Regan ignored her and turned his face in the other direction with a grunt.


    "Ignore me?!" "Fine, if you''re so capable, then you''ll always be so quiet, I can''t help but feel refreshed."


    After throwing out those words, Qi Qi didn''t say anything else, but stood up and went back into the kitchen to start slicing tomatoes and boiling the egg soup.


    The smell of meat continuously wafted out from the kitchen along with the sour taste unique to the tomato egg flower soup. This greatly stimulated Regan''s already hungry stomach, but thinking that this woman wouldn''t starve him to death, he had to eat something later, so he closed his eyes and forced himself to continue enduring.


    It wasn''t easy for Qi Qi to make dinner. Lei thought that even if he wasn''t tied up, he would still be fed a few mouthfuls of food, but he helplessly looked on as Qi Qi Qi carried the tray out of the restaurant and walked towards the living room''s sofa, his eyes almost popping out of his head.


    "What do you mean, ''seven out of seven''? Do you want to starve me to death? "


    "Don''t worry, you won''t starve to death if you don''t eat for a couple of days!"


    After that, no matter how much Regan cursed and shouted, Qi Qi Qi pretended not to hear him. Not only did he not respond, he even turned up the volume of the voice on the television to cover up his cries.


    After shouting for a while, he felt that his throat had become extremely hoarse. Although he had been tied up on top of a wooden table, he could still feel the chilliness coming from the marble floor.


    Moreover, in order to reduce the pain from the medicine, he had to water himself from time to time. Although the medicine had already worn off, his body was still dripping wet.


    He wanted nothing more than to tear his corpse into pieces, but it was difficult for him to even move his body. After a few struggles, he could only lie on the ground and rest.


    She could only stay here for three days at most. Three days later, she would leave, and it didn''t matter how dirty and messy this place was. Instead, it would make her feel disgusted, so why wouldn''t she be happy?


    Lawyer Zhang was more efficient than Qi Qi had expected. She had only been at home for two days when she received two divorce certificates.


    He had been lying on the ground for two days, and he was feeling very uncomfortable. Plus, he hadn''t eaten yet, and even though he found it difficult to speak loudly, he still asked in a hoarse voice, "How did you get the divorce certificate? The divorce agreement? Even if I signed it myself, both parties had to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get it. How could you get the divorce certificate if I didn''t appear?"


    Qi Qi Qi kept one of the books and threw the other one onto Regan''s body. She looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, "Don''t you know that money can cause ghosts to work harder? So you''re still a rich second generation, or do you think that I can only do what you can to use privileges? "


    After saying this, Qi Qi Qi turned around and went upstairs. She didn''t want to stay here for a moment longer, so she packed up a few clothes that would be convenient for exercise, and most importantly, she wanted to take her bank card and jewelry, stuffing all of them into a backpack. She tied up her long hair and tied a ponytail, then hopped off the building.


    Even now, he still found it hard to believe that the prey he had worked so hard to capture was now out of his control so easily. The reason he had signed the contract the day before yesterday was because he thought that she would not be able to complete the formalities.


    "Seven Fields, you go back. You should at least release me first. There''s usually no one in this villa. If you keep me tied up like this, someone will definitely die."


    Reggie saw CQi Qi walk into the hallway, grab a pair of sneakers from the shoe cabinet, and put them on. Fearing that she would leave just like that, he quickly shouted.


    After tying up his shoelaces at a leisurely pace, Qi Qi Qi turned around and walked back to Regan, using her foot to kick his left cheek. "Don''t worry, I''ve already achieved my goal. Naturally, I won''t carry a life with me."


    Like a magic trick, a multi-functional Swiss knife suddenly appeared in Qi Qi Qi''s hand. She threw out a blade with a ''shua'' sound, then quickly slashed at Regan''s four limbs. Before Regan could react, the rubber rope that tightly bound him suddenly broke.


    Regan looked on in disbelief as Seventh Seven nimbly sheathed his Swiss knife and stuffed it into his jacket pocket.


    Qi Qi Qi didn''t care about Regan''s expression and turned around to leave. The next moment, Regan, who was originally sprawled out on the ground, suddenly stood up and hugged her tightly from behind.


    "I can move freely now. Do you think you can still run? So what if you''re divorced? You still have to make me happy in this villa. "


    "You were pretending to be weak." He let her hug his arm around her waist as he asked coldly.


    "If you don''t, how could you let your guard down, hmph! "It''s better if you listen to me obediently!" One hand on her waist, the other trying to rip the backpack off her back.


    "Is that so? That will depend on whether you have the ability to make me listen to you obediently. " Before Regan could react, she grabbed his hand from her waist, pulled it up, and swung it over her shoulder, causing a handsome shoulder throw.


    After a few seconds, he violently coughed up. He held onto his chest, using all of his strength to half sit up, one hand pointing at Qi Seven. He wanted to say something, but because of the intense pain, he was unable to speak.


    The corner of Qi Qi Qi''s mouth widened into a smile, "Hmph!" "Soft leg shrimp!"


    Then, without looking back, he left the villa.

 C98

    After leaving the villa, Qi Qi walked to the edge of a pond and took out Regan''s phone from his pocket, raised his hand, and threw it far away.


    By the time she got out of the house, she had already let go of Regan''s tyre, and now she had thrown away her cell phone so that he wouldn''t be able to contact the outside world immediately, which would at least delay him for a long time. By the time he''d finished cleaning himself up, found the bus stop, and contacted the Ray or the Gao family, she was long gone.


    He quickly walked to the front of the small white building, took out the key Zhen Ping gave her, opened the door, and walked to the car she bought two days ago.


    She had just unlocked the car when the wooden door of the small building was pushed open from the inside.


    When Qi Qi looked up, he saw Zhen Ping in his home uniform, one hand in his pants pocket and the other holding the doorknob.


    "So you were here? I thought you went out?" Qi Qi Qi smiled at Zhen Ping, but his hand didn''t stop moving. He took off his backpack, opened the back door, and threw it at the seat.


    Then she opened the driver''s-side door with one hand against the door frame and the other holding the door open.


    "Originally, I should have thanked you for lending me a place to park my car. However, I have an urgent matter to attend to so I didn''t have much time. Thus, I could only thank you next time."


    "If you have something to do, then go ahead. I just heard some noise coming from outside the door and came out to take a look. Since it''s you, then it doesn''t matter anymore." Zhen Ping took a step forward and stood under the eaves of the door. Facing the sunlight, he smiled.


    Seeing this scene, Qi Hua furrowed his brow and subconsciously asked a very common question: "Have we met before?"


    "I definitely won''t forget such a fresh and beautiful lady like Miss Gao, but I really don''t have much of an impression of her. Perhaps..." The smile on Zhen Ping''s face deepened as he said, "Maybe, it''s because of fate."


    When Qi Qi asked this, she regretted it already. Now that Zhen Ping denied it, she didn''t say anything anymore. She only thought of Zhen Ping as a person with a face of the masses.


    "Hehe, Mr Zhen sure knows how to joke around." Qi Qi turned around and looked at the direction of the villa as she pondered on how she and Zhen Ping should leave as soon as possible.


    "Miss Gao''s task seems to be very urgent, so I will not delay you any longer. I wish you every success." Zhen Ping gave her a meaningful look, then slightly nodded and retreated behind the door, waving goodbye.


    "The next time I have the opportunity, I will properly express my gratitude to Mister Zhen. Goodbye!" Although he knew he would not have a chance to see her again, he made a social promise.


    "Goodbye!"


    Seeing Qi Qi Qi get into the car and start the engine to quickly reverse the car, Zhen Ping softly muttered this sentence.


    When he came out, he was already out of sight. He turned around and was about to drive away, but the place was so deserted that she couldn''t go far without a car.


    But when he walked up to the car and prepared to open the door, he felt that the car''s height was much lower than usual. Lowering his head to look, he saw that the four wheels had been released by someone.


    He remembered that he still had one of his computers in his briefcase. As long as he could get online, he would be able to get someone to come pick him up.


    However, when he finally found his briefcase in a corner of the living room and turned on the computer, he realized that he couldn''t turn it on no matter what. He took a closer look, the computer was out of battery, he didn''t have the habit of carrying around recharging equipment, so it was impossible for him to find a similar charger in this villa.


    At the last moment, he finally regained his sense of reason. There were still many important documents in the computer that had yet to be backed up, and if it was destroyed, then he would be in countless trouble later on.


    There was nothing he could do, so he gave up on the idea of asking for help. He rummaged through his briefcase, pulled out his wallet, and opened it. There was a lot of cash, but it was all hundred-dollar bills and there was no change in it.


    After thinking for a moment, he walked out with his wallet in his hand. He jogged to a nearby bus stop and waited patiently for a car to arrive at the city center. When he got on the car, he stuffed 100 yuan into the coin box under the driver''s strange gaze.


    There was a strange smell of gasoline in the car, coupled with the bumpiness of the road. When they finally reached the city, he rushed out of the car and rushed to a trash can nearby and vomited.


    Lei Zhan had lived for so many years, but he had never experienced this kind of suffering. Furthermore, the suffering was concentrated together in just two short days.


    When the nausea finally subsided, he hailed a taxi and drove straight to the Gao Family. He was sure that it was impossible for her to go to the Lei Family, but the Gao Family was her parents'' home after all. She would most likely go back and seek her parents'' protection, even though he didn''t think that the Gao Family couple would help her.


    If it was the previous Gao Qiqi, he would have definitely gone back if he had nowhere else to go, but right now, he had already changed his mind. He clearly knew that his father and mother were not trustworthy, so how could she walk right into his trap?


    Before she came to the airport, she had already rescheduled a new bank card and transferred all the money from the original card into it. The original card, after all, was known to Regan, and if by any other means he had frozen the card, she would have no money to use. She wanted to take out all the money and bring it with her to the outside of the country, but the amount was too large.


    After arriving at the airport, 77 immediately bought a plane ticket that took off recently. Thankfully, 77 had a Schengen visa, so many countries in Europe and the United States were free of visa. They could leave at any time after buying a plane ticket.


    She was going to go to France first, and when she got there, she would buy a used car and drive herself to another country. If there was no trace of her in the airline, it would be harder for the Ray family or the Gao family to find her.


    Right now, she had enough money at her disposal to comfortably spend a few years outside. When the Lei and Gao Families gave up on her, she would wait for the opportunity to return home.


    After receiving the divorce certificate, this time''s mission could be considered as completed. However, for a pervert like Regan, if she didn''t teach him a lesson, then it would be too much of a waste of the time.


    After making up his mind, Qi Qi looked at the time on his watch before carrying her backpack into the customs office. Although she did not see Regan in such a sorry state, she could imagine how chaotic it would be for the Lei and Gao Families.


    One reason was because he had a premonition that she would come back, and the other reason was that since he had come to this world, he couldn''t just make a wasted trip. There were some things that he had to do along the way.


    Regan made a ruckus in the Gao family, threatening Gao Dazhi and his mother, saying that if they didn''t hand over the seven seven seven, he would cancel all cooperation projects with the Gao family. Gao Dazhi and his mother were scared, but they really didn''t know the seven seven''s whereabouts, even if they wanted to send their daughter back, there was nothing they could do about it.


    However, cancelling the partnership without authorization was, after all, a breach of contract. Giving away such a huge amount of penalty fee was not a small loss for the Lei Clan. This move of harming their enemies with one thousand self-destructing eight hundred was enough to alarm Thunderclap''s parents.


    When faced with his parents'' questions, Regan was truly troubled. He was too embarrassed to say that he had been tied up by a weak woman like Seventh Seven for the past two days. He could only vaguely say that Seventh Seven stole his certificate and went through a divorce without permission.


    She didn''t like him to begin with, but now that she had given up the seat, she was fully aware of her own abilities. After this, she arranged many blind dates for Regan, all in the hopes of getting him to marry a wife that would satisfy her.


    But how could Regan be bothered with the great ladies his mother had introduced? His hobby of not being able to see people was not satisfied, and what was the use of marrying those women back? Furthermore, in those two days, 77 had greatly hurt his self-esteem, and now he had developed an obsession with her that he would not give up until he found her.


    The Lei and Gao Families had caused a huge ruckus at home, but as for Qi Qi, she had bought a used car and traveled freely throughout Europe. Every time she went there, she would rent a house and live there for a period of time, not only relaxing, but also learning some local languages.


    Even in the past, she still had her parents who loved her dearly in the country, so she had to keep in touch with them from time to time. But now, with the way the Gao Family was being so snobbish and indifferent, she didn''t need to maintain a relationship with them at all. Alone, free and unfettered, even though she was a little lonely sometimes, she still gained the most freedom.


    Sometimes, in the dead of night, she would think of Mu Chen. This man had suddenly disappeared and became a knot in her heart. She thought that unless she could see him again, she would always remember this man.


    Time flew by. After living abroad leisurely for three years, she finally chose to return to her home country. She could leave this place as soon as possible and never return.


    He breathed in the fresh air from abroad, looked at the dark blue sky from abroad, and landed at the airport. When he saw the dusky sky and the terrible air, he couldn''t help but cover his nose with his hands.


    He had heard long ago that the smog in the country was serious, but he never thought that it would be this serious. Living in such an environment and losing many years of his life, it was almost impossible.


    This time when he came back, he still carried a backpack with a few change clothes and a bank card inside. He didn''t bring anything else.


    After leaving the airport, she stayed in a hotel not too far away from the Lei Family. After checking in, she changed into a new set of clothes, put on her mask, and carried her backpack. She then left the hotel, heading straight for the Lei Family office building.

 C99

    Qi Qi took a good spot next to the window in the coffee shop underneath the Lei Family office building. There was a large potted plant in front of this place, which could block her figure without affecting her observation of the outside world.


    For the past three years, he didn''t know if Regan had changed his bad habits, but according to 77''s guesses, this dog couldn''t stop himself from eating feces. For the past three years, he didn''t know if Regan had changed his bad habits, but according to 77''s guesses, this dog couldn''t stop himself from eating feces.


    Because it was almost time for him to get off work when Qi Qi arrived, he only waited for about an hour before seeing Regan leave the office building.


    Seven watched him walk across the green strip in front of the building to an open-air parking lot, then open the door and get in.


    She quickly stood up and paid the bill. When she jogged to the car she had rented, she found that Regan was still sitting in the car. She looked through the window and saw that he was talking to someone on the phone.


    Chapter Seven took the opportunity to get into the car, started the engine, and waited. As soon as Regan left, she could follow.


    After a while, there was some movement from Regan''s side. 77 quickly braced himself and followed. After a few twists and turns, Regan''s car actually stopped in front of a clubhouse.


    Qi Qi looked up to see the entrance of the clubhouse. With just one look at this luxurious decoration, she could tell that this was a private membership system. She couldn''t enter without a membership card.


    She gave up the idea of following him in, parked the car, and, taking advantage of Regan''s absence in the clubhouse, sneaked over to his car. She pulled a long, thin hairpin from her pocket, stuck it into the keyhole, turned it slightly, and the door swung open.


    Fortunately, Regan didn''t turn on the alarm. Otherwise, the car would have to sound the alarm.


    She took out a mini pinhole camera from the backpack behind her. She looked at the decorations in the car, and finally chose the place where she put the perfume in the car to install the camera. This place allowed her to see the whole view of the car, and the part with the top of the perfume bottle just happened to have a flower embedded in it.


    After quickly installing the camera, 77 took out his phone and connected to the device, checking the clarity of the image. After seeing the clear picture, he clapped his hands in satisfaction, pushed open the car door and got out, then quietly went back to his car.


    Since the camera was already installed, and she couldn''t enter the clubhouse for the time being, Qi Qi could just go home. The camera had a locating function, so she could find out where Lei Jie was at any time.


    When Qi Qi returned to the hotel and entered the lobby, she immediately looked for her room card in her bag. Because she didn''t pay attention to the road, she almost bumped into the person in front of her.


    "Miss Gao?!"


    Hearing this, Qi Qi looked up in shock at the person who came at her. She was wearing a mask and yet she could still be recognized?


    The man in front of her wore a pair of sunglasses. He was tall and slender, and even though his eyes couldn''t be seen, just from his strong nose and clear lips, she could tell that he was definitely very handsome. However, no matter how outstanding he was, he was still a product of this world of quests and she couldn''t take him away.


    "You are?"


    Hearing that, the man took off the sunglasses on his face and smiled elegantly at Qi Qi, "It''s been three years since we last met. I''m sure Miss Gao has already forgotten about me. I''m the owner of the small white building."


    "So it''s you!" With the reminder from the other party, Qi Hua finally realized who this person was. Looking at his eyes now, a sense of familiarity welled up within him.


    "It''s rare that Miss Gao still remembers me!"


    "Don''t mock me, I said before that I would look for an opportunity to thank you. Mister Zhen, is it convenient now?" I''ll treat you to a meal! " Qi Qi Qi smiled embarrassedly. She owed this meal for three years, and now that she had the chance, it was better to pay it back quickly. Otherwise, she would forget about it again.


    "Sure, as long as Miss Gao is free, I''ll accompany you anytime." Zhen Ping''s hands slightly spread out as he straightforwardly agreed.


    Qi Qi saw Zhen Ping''s action and was slightly stunned. How could this action be so familiar? However, she really couldn''t remember who did this action beside her, so she decided to forget about it.


    "I''ve just returned home, and I don''t know if there are any delicious places nearby. It would be better for me to choose a place for you!"


    "The western dining room of this hotel is quite famous in this city. Would Miss Gao mind eating here?"


    "Sure, since I''m staying here, it would be more convenient for me. Mr Zhen, please lead the way."


    In just a few sentences, Qi Qi Qi followed Zhen Ping to the dining room on the third floor. She sat down in the chair Zhen Ping had pulled open and waited for Zhen Ping to take a seat opposite her before calling the waiter to order.


    "Mr Zhen, there''s no need to be polite with me. Please order whatever you want to eat." Afraid that Zhen Ping would be afraid of her, he felt a little embarrassed and took the initiative to say this sentence.


    Zhen Ping shifted his gaze away from the menu and looked up at her. He smiled and said, "Alright, then I''ll thank Miss Gao for her hospitality."


    Qi Qi Qi saw the smile on Zhen Ping''s face that didn''t fade and felt a sense of familiarity grow in her heart. She always felt that this familiar feeling didn''t come from three years ago, but earlier, but she didn''t even know him! How strange!


    "Mr. Zhen still lives in that little white house?" While waiting for the dishes to arrive, Seventh form unintentionally opened his mouth to ask. If he still lived there, he would be able to get some information about Regan from him.


    "Yes, that place is quiet. I quite like it there. However, I might have to move there soon."


    "Why?"


    Zhen Ping raised his head and looked at Qi Hua, the corners of his mouth forming a faint smile. His gaze towards her seemed to contain a hint of deep meaning as he said, "I like that place because it is quiet."


    "What do you mean?"


    When Miss Gao was living there, the villa was quiet. Ever since Miss Gao moved away, the villa was getting more and more noisy. At the beginning, it was good that more and more people were going in and out of the villa. Often, there would be ear-piercing sound coming from the villa in the middle of the night.


    Hearing this, Qi Qi Qi''s heart flashed with excitement. This Regan really didn''t want to be left alone. However, this wasn''t a lonely thing. The more trouble he caused, the easier it would be for her to catch on to him.


    "Did Miss Gao sell the villa? "I do know the new owner of the villa. If I do, can you pass on Zhen''s suggestion? I hope they can be quiet. If they listen to my suggestion, I don''t need to move."


    "No, it''s better if Mr Zhen moves quickly. This villa is not an honest and proper place. The earlier you move, the better you are so that you don''t get harassed by them." Qi Qi Qi didn''t say anything further and immediately urged Zhen Ping to leave. For someone like Lei Jie, it was better if Zhen Ping didn''t interact with him too much.


    "Miss Gao seems to be very familiar with the owner of the villa?"


    "That''s my ex-husband. This person has some perverted hobbies. I had to bear with it to divorce him!" Qi Qi didn''t want to hide it. In order for Zhen Ping to leave as soon as possible, she even explained the fact that Lei Zhan had a perverted hobby!


    "That Miss Gao, you''ve returned this time to ¡­"


    "I heard that after I left, he was still trying to find out more about me. My parents aren''t the type to live off people, and in order to avoid endless trouble in the future, I wanted to find evidence to see if I could make him suffer the punishment of the law."


    The main reason was because the location of Zhen Ping''s small ocean building was too good. If she could persuade Zhen Ping to move away and lend her the small ocean building, then she could easily monitor Regan and find out who he was.


    "I''m sorry, Miss Gao. Although I know that I shouldn''t ask too many questions, I still want to know, out of concern, what did your ex-husband do to make you want to use the law to protect yourself?"


    "He illegally detained me, and that was the first time I met you. That was after I moved to that mansion and went out for the first time, before that, he didn''t even let me go out at all, all the phone networks in my family were cut off, and he was also a domestic violence. I was often beaten up and there was no way I could ask for help." Seventh Seven automatically omitted the time when she sneaked out to buy her cell phone and phone card. She purposefully modified the details of Gao Seven''s encounter in order to get Zhen Ping''s sympathy.


    She didn''t know why, but she had a feeling that Zhen Ping definitely wouldn''t sell her out. Perhaps out of sympathy, he would even help her.


    Sure enough, after Zhen Ping heard from her, he stopped cutting the steak. He frowned as he looked at her with a trace of sympathy.


    "Then what are you going to do? Is there anything I can help you with? "


    Qi Qi Hua lowered his head to ponder for a moment before raising his head to look steadily at Zhen Ping, "Logically speaking, we aren''t close with each other. I shouldn''t have said that, but other than asking for Mr Zhen''s help, I really can''t think of anyone else."


    "Go ahead and say what you want. I''m willing to help if I can."


    "After Mr. Zhen moves away from the house, can you lend me that place for the time being? I want to see what Regan is doing for a while. If he is torturing other women and we are both victims, I think I have the responsibility to help them, and it would be best if I can get some footage of them. That way, even if Lei''s family is rich and can''t be punished by the law through some despicable means, I can post the video online and use the power of public opinion to punish him."


    In fact, Qi Qi never thought of using the law to solve this problem. She had originally wanted to shoot a perverted video of him in the public media. Her ultimate goal was to bring down his reputation.


    "Since I''m going to help you, why not help others until the end? It''s too dangerous for you to live there by yourself, I don''t want to move away from the house for the time being, so I can give you some cover if necessary. In addition, if you''re shooting a video, it''s best if we can install surveillance equipment inside the villa. I don''t know if Miss Gao has the key to the villa, so I can find someone to secretly install it."


    Zhen Ping''s overzealous attitude caused Seventh Seven to retreat out of the room. She did not try to hide her suspicions as she looked at Zhen Ping and asked, "Why is Mister Zhen helping me like this? It seems like we don''t have much of a relationship? "

    "Miss Gao''s fate is very pitiful, and I''m not a heartless person, so there''s no need for Miss Gao to take it seriously. Of course, if Miss Gao is still worried about Zhen''s schemes, then Zhen can also move out tomorrow." Zhen Ping calmly explained. With his understanding of 7/7, this move of hers would definitely work. Who told her to not take advantage of the situation?!


    As expected, after hearing Zhen Ping''s words, Qi Qi Qi immediately felt embarrassed, and hurriedly apologized, "Don''t mind me, Mister Zhen. Since Mister Zhen is willing to help, I naturally will be extremely grateful. I do have the key to the villa, but I don''t know if Regan has changed the lock on the door."


    "Does Miss Gao have it with her now? If there is, you can let me try first. If I succeed, I will contact you. "


    Without a doubt, he grabbed his backpack from a nearby chair, pulled out a key from the bottom, and pushed it across the table toward Zhen Ping.


    "The key is here. If there are no accidents during this period of time, I will stay here. Also, this is my phone number. If there is any news, Mr Zhen can call me or come straight here to find me." Qi Qi took out a tissue from the table and quickly wrote a number on it before handing it to Zhen Ping.


    Zhen Ping put away the key and napkin with the phone number on the table properly. Then, he picked up the knife and fork on the table again and continued to eat.


    "I will settle this matter as soon as possible. Miss Gao, please wait patiently. Also, since Miss Gao''s ex-husband is inquiring about your news, will the news of you returning home reach his ears?"


    Qi Qi shook her head and denied, "I''ve left here for three years, compared to the start, my ex-husband''s search for me has decreased a lot. So far, no one knows that I''m returning home, unless he knows someone at the customs who can tell him the news about me entering the country in time. However, as far as I know, he doesn''t have any strong connections with the customs."


    "That''s good. If necessary, it''s better for Miss Gao to change her identity. If your ex-husband discovers your residence information, it''ll be a problem for you!"


    Qi Qi frowned when she heard this. When she checked in, she used her identity card to check in. Compared to getting information from the customs, the hotel''s occupancy information was more easily leaked.


    "If Miss Gao doesn''t mind, you can stay with me at the small building tonight. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Your ex-husband would never have thought that you would live right under his nose."


    In these three years, she had not wasted her training abroad. To put it bluntly, even if five strong men attacked her at the same time, she might not necessarily be at a disadvantage. With Zhen Ping''s figure, it was unlikely that he would have any impressive skills.


    "Then I''ll go up and pack my stuff. I''ll have to trouble Mister Zhen to wait a moment after the meal. Thank you very much for being willing to lend me your help."


    "Miss Gao, you''re too courteous. On the contrary, I should be the one thanking you for your trust. To be honest, it feels good to be trusted!"


    Zhen Ping politely smiled back. He had the appearance of a pure and innocent gentleman.


    After the meal, Qi Qi went upstairs to pack some clothes, stuffed them into her backpack, and went downstairs. When she came out, Zhen Ping was already waiting outside the hotel.


    Noticing that 77 had come out, he opened the car door and got out. He walked around the front of the car and walked to the passenger seat. When he opened the door, he made a "please" gesture.


    Qi Qi Jian faintly smiled and then sat down.


    After a while, Zhen Ping also sat down, but he didn''t start the engine immediately. Instead, he took a glass of milk from the rack between the two seats and handed it to her.


    "I think you just ate very little. Have a glass of milk first, so you won''t be hungry later on."


    Qi Qi Qi took the milk, but didn''t drink it. She just held it in her hand and played with it.


    "What is it? Are you worried that I''ll drug it? " Zhen Ping turned his head to look at Qi Seventh, smiling as he asked.


    "No, it''s just the first time I''ve met a man who delivers milk. Don''t they usually send me coffee?" To prevent Zhen Ping from thinking too much, Qi Qi picked up the cup and took a sip.


    "At this hour, I''ll give you some coffee so that you won''t have to sleep tonight!"


    Hearing this, Qi Qi lowered her head to look at the time on her watch. It was really about ten o''clock. Their meal was really long.


    They arrived at the small white house after half an hour or so. When they got off the car, Qi Qi stood in the yard and looked at the villa not far away. The villa was brightly lit, and the sound of music could be heard from afar.


    "Is it like this every night over there?"


    "More or less. Recently, the commotion has gotten more and more intense. Sometimes, there would even be a loud sound of cars changing their gear in the middle of the night."


    77 frowned. What the hell was this Regan doing? Previously, he also had some unspeakable hobbies under the bed, unlike now where he was so keen on socializing with others.


    "Are there a lot of people going in and out there?"


    "Mm, there are both men and women. They probably think that there''s only one family nearby, so it''s very noisy. I usually sleep early, and when they come over, I''ve already turned off the lights and gone to sleep."


    Qi Qi sized up Zhen Ping from head to toe. Seeing his well-dressed and well-mannered demeanor, he really did look like one of those people who went to bed early and woke up early.


    "That would be hard for you. No wonder you want to move away. It must be hard to wake up in the middle of the night." Qi Qi let out a fake sentence of sympathy, and when she turned around, her mouth was wide open in a crazed smile.


    This kind of lifestyle, it should be something only a fifty year old uncle would have. In this impetuous era, how could there be a young person sleeping so early?


    "Rest early today. Tomorrow, when they are out and there is no one in the villa, I will arrange for people to install the surveillance cameras." Zhen Ping gave a simple instruction and then led Qi Seventh to the guest room. After saying good night, they went back to their own rooms.


    Standing alone in the guest room, Qi Qi looked around. The milky white decorations made the entire room spotless, warm and clean, just like the feeling he gave off.


    He had been on the plane for so long, and he had also followed Regan for so long. After arriving at the hotel and packing his bags without stopping, he was truly a little tired.


    She threw her backpack behind her and leaped up, landing heavily on the soft, elastic bed. She bounced on it because of the force of the impact.


    Qi Qi stretched out her limbs and started moving up and down on the bed. After a while, she felt her whole body relax.


    Because she was too tired, it didn''t take long for her to fall asleep. After she fell asleep, the door to the guest room was quietly pushed open.


    Zhen Ping stood beside the bed, looking at the ''big'' character of Qi Qi sleeping on her stomach. He shook his head helplessly as he walked to the door and turned the temperature of the central air-conditioning to 20 degrees to prevent her from catching a cold.


    He had only met her a few times, and she actually dared to drink the milk he passed over. She was not affected by his words, but luckily he had only placed a light sleeping pill inside. If it was someone else with ulterior motives, she would not be able to wake up in time to cry.


    But it was unfair to say that she was completely slow. At least, after planning her divorce from Regan, she had known to go abroad.


    Zhen Ping only stayed in the guest room for a short while before preparing to leave. But when he reached the door, he heard a soft murmur behind him.


    "Mu Chen!"


    Zhen Ping''s body suddenly stiffened. He immediately turned around and saw that she was fast asleep without any signs of waking up. He knew that she was just talking in her sleep. Then, he relaxed, turned around, and left the room, closing the door softly behind him.


    After a good night of sleep, when she woke up the next day, Qi Qi Qi felt like all her energy had returned. She stretched and sat up, looked down at her wrinkled shirt, slipped out of bed, fished out a set of clothes from her backpack, and hummed a song before entering the guest bedroom to the bathroom.


    After taking a bath and blow-drying her hair, she took out her phone and sat on the bed, leaning against the headboard as she watched the video recording of yesterday.


    The camera she installed had a recording function. As long as a movement was detected, it would automatically start recording. Now that she had the time, she wanted to see what Zhen Ping did in the car after he left the clubhouse yesterday.


    Opening the screen, Qi Qi first saw Regan get into the car, then a woman with heavy makeup sat in the passenger seat. As soon as she got into the car, she leaned on Regan''s shoulder and acted coquettishly.


    "Director Lei, we have a deal. I''ll let you handle it today, but you have to remember to buy the bag that others have their eyes on."


    Regan reached out and gripped the woman''s neck until she was out of breath. Then he let go and bent down to bite her hard on the lips.


    "You little demoness. If you are able to satisfy me, I will naturally be able to satisfy you as well."


    "Director Lei, you''re the only one here tonight, and you still have those friends of yours. It''s a deal, I don''t have the ability to deal with so many people in one go. You''re going to bring your friends, I''ll bring my little sisters as well, but you don''t forget to give me the appearance fee."


    "Okay, take your little sisters with you. Remember to look for those who are resistant. My friends aren''t as gentle as I am."


    Hearing this, Qi Qi Qi couldn''t help but widen her eyes in surprise. In just three short years, how did this Lei Jie hook up with so many scum who shared the same interests as him?


    That''s right. Didn''t Zhen Ping say that the villa was bustling with people recently? So the reason they gathered together was for this reason.


    One person being so abnormal was enough to make one''s hair stand on end. A group of people acting together to deal with such an animal was truly unimaginable.


    Qi Qi Qi rubbed the hair on her arm and couldn''t help but shiver.
