Chapter 285: Going to the Qi Residence
Li Sangyu took Zhao Hongmei’s emerald jewelry and went back happily. When she got back to her room, she opened the box, looked at it a few times, and liked it even more.
When Li Sangyu thought about it, she was quite fond of Zhao Hongmei’s way of doing things, and also felt that she liked her very much. She secretly thought that if the Zhao family really did beg her in the future, she would help them, as long as it wasn’t too much.
On the other side, Chi Shuyan knew that her pill would be auctioned off in a few days. Because of what happened at the auction house, she didn’t have a good impression of the Jing family. She also knew that the Jing family coveted her pill and that they would try to obtain it at all costs.
She didn’t plan to make it easy for the Jing family. Plus, the pill’s effects were indeed extraordinary. She couldn’t let the Jing family off so easily. She thought about getting Qi Zhenbai to take her to the auction in a few days, and she would raise the price a bit more. When that happened, she would be able to make a killing off of the Jing family. Why not?
Qi Zhenbai didn’t think much of it, and just thought that his wife was very interested in the Celestial Master auction, so he naturally agreed. Before that, however, Qi Zhenbai raised the matter of returning to the old residence.
Chi Shuyan also remembered that she had promised to go with him to the Qi family’s old residence this weekend. Since she had agreed, she had no intention of going back on her word. She nodded. “Okay!”
“Shall we go tonight?”
Hearing that he wanted to take her there tonight, Chi Shuyan was a little shocked. But thinking about how it was a Sat.u.r.day, and she had already agreed, she could only grit her teeth and nod. “Okay!”
Qi Zhenbai was naturally overjoyed at his wife’s agreement. Ever since his grandfather found out that he had a wife, his grandfather had been urging him to bring her back for him to see every day for the last few days. His grandfather’s good impression of his wife had also increased because of the spirit rice.
Now, he wasn’t worried that his wife would suffer any grievances when he brought her back.
“By the way, what does he like? Shall I prepare a gift?” Chi Shuyan asked. It was her first time meeting the patriarch, so she was also nervous.
“Anything will do; it’s fine even if you don’t prepare something. Whether you bring something or not, Grandpa will still like you! In any case, the spirit rice you gave before is enough. You don’t have to bring any gifts this time! My grandfather understands your good intentions!” Qi Zhenbai was still quite confident that his grandfather would definitely like his wife.
Who asked his wife to be so likable?
Moreover, Qi Zhenbai trusted in how open-minded his grandfather was. As long as it was someone Qi Zhenbai liked, his grandfather would also definitely like her.
Chi Shuyan was still extremely nervous. “No, I must prepare some gifts if I go to your house. I still understand how the world works!”
You couldn’t treat others like nothing just because they liked you. No matter how good your feelings were, you still had to make an effort.
Besides, this was her first time meeting the Qi family patriarch, so she had to be polite.
Just then, Qi Zhenbai’s phone suddenly rang. Qi Zhenbai picked up, and sure enough, it was Grandpa Qi nagging him again. “Zhenbai you brat, when are you bringing your wife back to the Qi family? I’ve been waiting impatiently these past few days. Don’t use the last few days to fob me off! If you don’t bring your wife home today, don’t ever appear in front of me again!”
Qi Zhenbai rubbed the s.p.a.ce between his eyebrows helplessly. Fortunately, his wife had agreed to go over tonight. He said, “Grandpa, my wife agreed and said that we’ll see you tonight!”
Grandpa Qi originally had a lot to say, but when he heard Zhenbai’s words, he was so excited that he was incoherent. “Okay, okay, okay… What does your wife like to eat? I’ll go make the arrangements now!”
