Chapter 487 The Scumbag's Uncle is Hard to Win Over 15
Qi Shengzhi had no choice but to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor and avoid looking at his phone screen, asking, "When did I show favoritism towards Shen Shu?"
What did he do to give her this misconception? Or did Shen Shu say something to her?
Qi Shengzhi couldn't help but frown, and his expression turned somewhat cold.
Yun Qing angrily punched the pillow again, "Why won't you look at me? You look so impatient, are you annoyed with me?"
Qi Shengzhi: ...I'm afraid if I see this, you'll cry even more in my dreams tonight.
He relaxed his brow and said in as gentle a tone as possible, "Be good, and we'll talk this out, okay?"
Yun Qing thought his gentle voice was so pleasant to hear that she couldn't help but rub her ears. Then, like a cat being stroked, she instantly felt comfortable, retracted her claws, relaxed, and became peaceful and obedient.
"Okay... okay."
She suddenly remembered that she was the one humbly begging for love, but couldn't win his heart! Being so fierce would only make people dislike her and scare them away, wouldn't it?
Yes! Be gentle!
So, she acted coquettishly and pitifully, trying to appear weak and innocent, making her fierceness understandable and not her fault. She even put on a tearful, aggrieved tone as she said, "Brother Shengzhi~ I..."
Qi Shengzhi was instantly jolted awake, as some... memories were stirred up.
He sat up straight, his tone becoming somewhat stern due to his seriousness, "Speak properly!"
Yun Qing: ...
Ughhhhh... You've gone too far! I'm about to lose my temper again!
Fortunately, Qi Shengzhi was eager to divert her attention and asked again before she could lose her temper, "Why do you say I'm biased towards Shen Shu?"
Yun Qing said angrily, "Didn't you warn me to stay away from her?"
Qi Shengzhi: ? ? ?
Not knowing how she came to the conclusion that he favored Shen Shu, he patiently explained, "I told you to stay away from her because I think she's rather scheming, and I was afraid you'd be taken advantage of by her."
Yun Qing blinked, somewhat bewildered. "Huh? Is that so?"
Qi Shengzhi was somewhat amused and exasperated. "If anything happens in the future, just ask me directly. Don't overthink things and keep getting angry inside."
"Oh……"
Then she defended herself for her misunderstanding by saying, "Who told you to be so fierce and say you were going to beat me up?"
"I was just afraid you'd throw a tantrum, that you'd do the things I told you not to do, so I was just trying to scare you a little."
Yun Qing felt a little guilty. "Am I... am I that kind of person?"
She said defiantly, "I don't care! Anyway, you yelled at me, and I'm not happy."
Qi Shengzhi asked good-naturedly, "Do you have a bag you like? I'll buy it for you."
Yun Qing was a little confused. "Huh? Why are you suddenly buying me a bag?"
I'm not used to you doing this. Is this some kind of "breakup fee"? You're buying me a bag and then cutting all ties, never to see me again?
"It cures all diseases."
Yun Qing glared angrily, "Are you saying I'm sick?"
Qi Shengzhi: ...How come I never noticed before that her comprehension skills were so touching?
He said helplessly, "I just wanted to make you happy."
Once Yun Qing's temper was soothed, her momentum weakened, and she hummed softly, "Lovesickness can't be cured."
Qi Shengzhi felt a little uncomfortable with her bluntness. "Ahem... then how should it be treated?"
Yun Qing asked excitedly, "Can I come to see you? We haven't seen each other for a day and two nights."
Qi Shengzhi: ...It hasn't been that long. I saw him last night.
In fact, Qi Shengzhi had never wanted to talk to Ye Yunqing before. It was always Ye Yunqing who went to great lengths to see him. It was normal for the two of them not to see each other for a long time, and he was also annoyed by Ye Yunqing's pestering.
However, Qi Shengzhi already felt guilty and had a desire to make amends to Yun Qing. In addition, he felt that he was a bit abnormal and had bullied Yun Qing, so he naturally granted her every request.
"Sure, but I'll be quite busy at the company and might not have time to spend with you."
Yun Qing said excitedly, "It's okay, I can play by myself, I promise I won't disturb your work."
"I'll get up now and come find you in a bit."
"By the way, have you had breakfast?"
Seeing how happy she was, Qi Shengzhi couldn't help but smile slightly. "No."
"Then I'll bring you breakfast in a bit."
"it is good."
After hanging up the video call, Qi Shengzhi found it difficult to concentrate on his work for a while.
Remembering that he hadn't told his sister-in-law about Qi Ze's birthday party yet, he called her to avoid her worrying about his feelings if his mother told her later.
However, he didn't mention Qi Ze's engagement.
Qi Ze arrived at the company late today. As he was about to leave, he saw his mother sitting there with a worried look on her face.
He couldn't help but go over and ask with concern, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Bai Wanran sighed and said, "Your uncle just called me and said to make your birthday celebration more lively this time."
"Do you think he's testing me?"
Qi Ze couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, "Mom, you don't need to be so paranoid. Uncle isn't that narrow-minded."
"He mentioned this to me as well. He probably heard the rumors that he wanted to suppress me and wanted to shut those people up."
"I see... Then let's make this event a bit more lively."
She looked at Qi Ze and asked hesitantly, "Xiao Ze, you won't blame your mother, will you?"
Qi patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Mom, don't worry, I understand. I never thought of fighting with my uncle for the family property, and I don't have his ability!"
Bai Wanran sighed, "When your father and grandfather had their accident, your uncle had just come of age. It wasn't easy for him to support the entire Qi family. We should try our best not to cause him any trouble."
"Mom just hopes you are healthy, safe, and secure. Your uncle isn't the kind of person who can't tolerate others; he won't mistreat you."
Bai Wanran actually felt somewhat ashamed, because when such a big thing happened in her family, she couldn't help much.
She had a very good relationship with Qi Ze's father, and the blow she suffered at that time was no less than that to Qi Ze's grandmother; she almost couldn't hold on.
On the contrary, Qi Shengzhi, who had just come of age, did not even have time to grieve. Overnight, he went from being a pampered and carefree young master of the Qi family to being forced to become the pillar of the Qi family and support the Qi family, which was in dire straits at the time.
Qi knew about these things; he was old enough to understand things at that time, so he always respected his uncle.
After Bai Wanran finished speaking, she asked, "Didn't you say you were going to marry Shen Shu? Have you discussed it with Shen Shu?"
Shen Shu was the one she chose. Her family background wasn't high, but it wasn't too bad either. She was also gentle and virtuous. She had met her once by chance and was left with a very good impression. After observing her for a while, she thought she was quite good.
So they asked Qi Ze for his opinion, and Qi Ze was willing to give it a try.
The two got engaged after spending some time together and getting along well.
After their engagement, the two had a good relationship for the past six months, so when Qi Ze brought up the topic of preparing for marriage, Bai Wanran supported him.
Qi paused for a moment, then said casually, "No rush."
Fearing she would ask too many questions, he directly used his uncle as a shield, saying, "My uncle doesn't even have a girlfriend yet."
"I thought about it and realized that I was being too hasty."
