Chapter 1446 Opening Ceremony 1
Credit that could not be erased?
When Xi Xiaye heard that, she immediately raised her brows and looked at him. Her beautiful eyes were as dazzling as the stars when they met with his gaze that contained a smile. His eyes then turned and fell onto the window. Through it, he saw Mu Yinan and the little one having fun.
Their son, Mu Zicheng…
Her lips curved up slightly as her eyes were filled with a faint tenderness. She subconsciously held tightly onto his hand as she smiled and said, “Then, let’s continue on this way and have another one or two more!”
There she went again!
She really liked children. There was no doubt about that. With the orphanage, even when she was busy, she would insist that Xiao Mei visit them every month. Every Chinese New Year or on other festivities, she would send gifts and financial aid over. Sometimes, she would even personally pick gifts for the children.
“Aren’t you worried about going out of shape?” He shot her a side look helplessly. Naturally, he did not want to bring that up with her.
“I used to be woried, but not anymore.” She smiled at him mysteriously.
“Mmm? Why? Why do I seem to remember that a few nights ago, a certain someone was acting like a spoiled child and asking me if I would turn my back on her? I wonder who this foolishly cute person was?” His lips contained a faint smile, and his flickering gaze looked meaningful.
Upon hearing this, Xi Xiaye immediately rolled her eyes at him as she said uncourteously, “Definitely not me. I’m not worried. I’ll have a few more children. If you run off, I’ll still have our sons. When the time comes, our sons will be on my side. Then, we’ll see who’ll take care of you in old age. Also, our sons will definitely stand up for me.”
“Our sons are still young, but you’re counting on them already? They’re also half of me since I’m their father,” he said.
“Also, Missus, the person by your side in the future is definitely going to be me. Our children are going to have their own partners when they grow up, and they will have their own lives. Instead of relying on them, you might as well rely on your Mr. Mu,” Mu Yuchen said with a frown as his hand that held hers suddenly tightened and squeezed.
“Celebrate Xiao Cheng’s birthday earlier tomorrow. We’ll leave the morning after tomorrow. Since we’re having a quiet New Year, Ah Mo and Lings.h.i.+ called home this morning too. If it weren’t for the fact that it isn’t too convenient for Lings.h.i.+, they would’ve gone over with us.”
“She’s getting heavier now, it’s better to be careful, earlier mother was missing her too. She’ll be going into labor after the New Year. When the child’s here, we must go visit them.”
“Alright,” he responded.
The fireworks blossomed in the night sky looked even more dazzling now. It was such a beautiful night, so one should be feeling happy, but…
“Father, you called for me?”
At the Qi residence, in Qi Qiming’s study, Qi Feng stood behind Qi Qiming while holding his walking stick.
Qi Qiming was standing before the window with his hands behind his back at the moment as he watched the fireworks silently. There seemed to be a red invitation in his hand.
This sudden voice made Qi Qiming snap back. He turned to look at Qi Feng, then pointed at the sofa beside him. His voice was low, and you could hear that he was not in a great mood. Earlier at dinner, he only had a few bites before he set aside the chopsticks and went upstairs.
The New Year’s Eve dinner had been personally prepared by Gu Lingsha, but the way Qi Qiming acted annoyed Qi Feng and Gu Lingsha.
“Have a seat,” Qi Qiming said and walked over to the sofa before slowly sitting down.
Qi Feng paused, then went after him. “Father, is something on your mind?”
As Qi Qiming let out a long sigh, he looked up and silently stared at Qi Feng. “Didn’t you call Xiao Lei? What New Year is this? There’s barely any of us!”
Upon hearing that, Qi Feng’s gaze flickered, then he said, “I called him over 20 times, but not one of the calls went through. If he truly wanted to come home, we wouldn’t have to invite him home personally.”
“I’m old, Ah Feng! I know that things between you and Xiao Lei are tense. There are some things I know about too. Ah Feng, I’ve always thought highly of you, and I’m proud of you, but I hope that you can act carefully. I definitely hope that you won’t be pointing your gun at your own brother. Qi Lei has got my blood in him too, and he’s your younger brother. I hope that your heart can fit him too.” Qi Qiming’s tone was exceptionally solemn, and Qi Feng’s gaze turned sharp at this point.
Qi Feng’s eyes darkened, and he fell silent for a moment before he responded calmly, “Father, do you think I’m the one who doesn’t want him around?”
“If not, what then?” Qi Qiming asked in return as the light in his eyes turned sharper. “Do you dare guarantee me that you have been frank about Xiao Lei? Ah Feng, you’re a smart boy. You should know what I mean.”
“No, father, I don’t know what you mean. I have always respected you and Qi Lei, of course, only you would know yourself if you have been the same to me,” Qi Feng replied.
Qi Qiming’s eyes instantly darkened and he squinted at Qi Feng.”Alright, since you’re going to put it that way, I’ll let w.a.n.g Chun inform all the shareholders that the shareholders’ meeting will be postponed, and even delayed till after August. I’m sure you’ll have no opinions on that. After the New Year, Xiao Lei’s new company, Tai Yu Corporation, will be opening, I want him to continue being the CEO of Tai Yu Corporation with the t.i.tle of Qi Kai’s VP, and be in charge of all of Qi Kai’s projects in City B. Meanwhile, I’m afraid, you’ll have to continue with your current position and steel yourself for a year. I’m sure you won’t have any objections, hmm?”
When Qi Qiming said this, that sharp gaze of his fixated on Qi Feng’s face, so he did not miss any changes on the latter’s expression.
As Qi Feng listened, his hand that held the walking stick suddenly tightened. His lowered gaze hid the hostility that flashed in his eyes, but he held back the storm that surged in his heart and kept quiet.
“Initially, I was set on having you be Qi Kai’s heir. I wanted you to take over Qi Kai from me as soon as possible, but with the recent incidents, I can’t help but hold back for now. I think it might not be a good idea to hand Qi Kai over to you right now. Just with Hui Gu alone, you have both…The old fellow, Gu Qiwu, has reduced the initially agreed capital investment by half, and he plans to phase out of all City Z projects. I’m sure you’re very clear why.” Qi Qiming was obviously upset and having mixed feelings about this.
He did not expect Gu Qiwu to really make Mu Lings.h.i.+ the heir of Hui Gu. It seemed like he was not interested in having anything to do with the Qi family anymore…
When Qi Qiming said that, Qi Feng’s expression subconsciously darkened!
