Qi Shaorong being kept by the Ghost Doctor caused an uproar inside the whole college.
Qi Shaorong hid inside the college library"s restricted area during the day. The wind and rain [1] did not affect Qi Shaorong at all.
Qi Shaorong being kept by the Ghost Doctor reached the ears of the Qi family"s members. The Qi family burst into an uproar.
Several Qi family elders jointly asked for Qi Shaorong"s expulsion from the Qi family to save the family"s reputation. They unanimously decided to expel him, and so Qi Shaorong was expelled while he was sleeping inside the college.
Qi Mansion.
Qi Shaofu stared at Qi Shaoru and said displeased: "Shaoru, the rumors about Shaorong being kept by the Ghost Doctor, was it spread by you?"
"It"s not me, okay. What good will it bring me if I spread it out?" Qi Shaoru said as she held her head high.
"Only the two of us know about it. If it"s not your doing, do you think it was me?"
Qi Shaoru looked at Qi Shaofu and said: "Third brother, what"s the matter with you? You are siding with a waste instead of me."
Qi Shaofu calmly said: "I just think it was you who spread the rumor."
"Don"t say that I pa.s.sed a rumor, think what the rumor is about! The rumor is true! He himself admitted that he is being kept, so I did not wrong him." Qi Shaoru almost choked.
Qi Shaofu said angrily: "That doesn"t necessarily mean it was true. Fourth brother"s emotion was a bit excited at that time. I think he was just joking and probably just blabbering some words."
"Look at the dormitory where he lives. 10,000 gold coins a year! Will he have that much money if he was not being kept? If you don"t have the strength, you will be degraded. The Qi family had done its best for him." Qi Shaoru said unhappily.
Qi Shaofu frowned and said: "Now that Qi Shaorong was driven out of the house, are you satisfied?"
"The matter of him being driven out of the house? He deserved it. The family was ridiculed because of him! You must not feel sorry for him." Qi Shaoru coldly snorted.
Qi Shaofu looked helpless at Qi Shaoru: "I won"t talk to you."
Looking at Qi Shaofu"s back, Qi Shaoru stamped her foot angrily, "Third brother, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d."
Tianlan College
When Qi Shaorong came out of the library, he saw Qi Shaofu sitting inside his dormitory.
"Third brother, what are you doing here?" Qi Shaorong asked.
Qi Shaofu glanced at Qi Shaorong and said: "I"m sorry. I came here to give the family"s punishment."
Qi Shaorong calmly said: "Is it? Let me take a look."
"Removed from the family"s genealogy? Is this true?" Qi Shaorong asked.
Qi Shaofu nodded uneasily: "Fourth brother, don"t be too upset. I don"t think that it is not impossible to change. You must go back home to find father and admit your mistake. Maybe…" Qi Shaofu probably understood that what he was saying was impossible. He lowered his head feeling ashamed.
Qi Shaorong smiled and said: "Upset? Why should I feel upset?" The world despised someone who was expelled from his family, but at the same time, once he made some achievements in the future, the family wouldn"t have the right to control him. "It is such a good thing to be remove from the family. Make a lot of money in the future and you won"t have to give back money to others."
Qi Shaorong had hundreds of cosmetics store in the city. He had been worried that once his ident.i.ty as the owner of these stores was exposed, the family would confiscate it at it was their right. But with this punishment, he would have no such concerns in the future.
Qi Shaofu stared at Qi Shaorong. From the expression on his face, he couldn"t detect any hint of a forced smile.
"Fourth brother, are you really looking forward to being expelled from the family?" Qi Shaofu asked, confused.
Qi Shaorong looked at Qi Shaofu and smiled: "Third brother, do you think that being expelled from the family is not a good thing? And I should not look forward to it?"
Qi Shaofu nodded and said: "It is really not a good thing to be expelled from the family."
Qi Shaorong: "…"
"Now that the rumor of you being kept by the Ghost Doctor has spread, Zhuang Hao will probably come after you."
Qi Shaorong looked at Qi Shaofu and said: "Why should Zhuang Hao come after me?"
"Zhuang Hao likes the Ghost Doctor, so he will naturally come meet you." Qi Shaofu said without doubt.
Qi Shaorong: "…Zhuang Hao. He really likes the Ghost Doctor?"
Qi Shaofu answered: "Of course."
Qi Shaorong shook his head and said: "Maybe, one day, Zhuang Hao will realize that he actually doesn"t like the Ghost Doctor and that it was just an infatuation."
"Zhuang Hao is not that kind of a person. Fourth brother, even if you are expelled from the family you are still my brother. If you need help, you can look for me." Qi Shaofu said.
"Great. My third brother, I happen to have something that I need your help with." Qi Shaorong smiled.
Qi Shaofu looked at Qi Shaorong. His heart had a bad feeling. He said: "Fourth brother, tell me, what do you need?"
"I am a little short of money. My brother, lend me some money."
Qi Shaofu said awkwardly: "How much do you want to borrow?"
"100,000."
"Gold coins?"
"Of course! Who wants silver coins!"
Qi Shaofu"s teeth trembled as he raised his two fingers. "Your third brother only have a pocket money of two hundred gold coins per month."
Qi Shaorong smiled and said: "Third brother, I am just joking with you."
Qi Shaofu: "…" This joke was a bit big, okay?
