After listening to Grandpa Qi, Chi Shuyan’s phone almost hit the ground. She didn’t know what Grandpa Qi was thinking at that moment. If she did, she would have killed Qi Hao.
But she was still no less eager to kill Qi Hao now. Her face stiffened at the thought that Grandpa Qi had mistakenly thought she was pregnant because of this kid courting death. She was about to deny it, when she heard Grandpa tell her to hurry back with Zhenbai later. He had already instructed the housekeeper to stew all sorts of tonic at home, and was waiting for her to go home and drink them.
More nourishment was good for her and the baby!
That was what Grandpa Qi thought. Although he had been worried that this child was too young to have a baby, since she was already pregnant, Grandpa Qi could only be happy. Moreover, in ancient times, women got pregnant when they were 15 or 16 years old. His granddaughter-in-law was pregnant at 19 years old. He had specially asked their family doctor just now, and the doctor said that having a baby at the age of 19 or 20 was just right. It was also good for a woman’s physical recovery.
Only then did Grandpa Qi put down the last bit of worry in his heart and feel happy and excited.
Chi Shuyan was embarrassed and her expression grew stiffer and stiffer as she listened to the old man’s words. She couldn’t utter a word for a long time. In the end, under the old man’s enthusiasm, Chi Shuyan really couldn’t refute him, nor could she splash cold water on the old man. She gritted her teeth and said, “Grandpa, I’ll get Zhenbai to call you later! We’ll continue this topic then!”
Grandpa Qi hurriedly agreed. “Okay. I’m going to go visit people first; we’ll talk again after you come back!”
Somehow, the old man’s “visit people” made her right eyelid twitch, but it wasn’t good to ask; she would probably feel stifled if she did.
When she finally hung up, Chi Shuyan turned around to settle scores with Qi Hao, but the space next to her was empty. Next to her, Li Yu tugged at Chi Shuyan’s sleeve and said, “Shuyan, he ran away. He ran away long ago!”
The attendant beside him also hurriedly nodded in agreement with his Ninth Prince.
Chi Shuyan took a few deep breaths. Thinking of Qi Hao, that rascal, she couldn’t calm down for a long time. If that rascal was here now, she would definitely teach him a lesson he would never forget in his life. She would directly throw out a Streaking Talisman and make him run a few rounds around Qi Corporation naked.
How dare this kid lie and say that she was pregnant!
She thought of how Grandpa Qi mistakenly thought she was pregnant; it probably wouldn’t be long before everyone in the Qi family found out. Chi Shuyan’s head throbbed violently.
She probably wouldn’t be able to settle this, and would have to hand the matter over to Qi Zhenbai. She immediately led the two brats into the Qi building.
At the Qi Corporation’s front desk, the receptionist coldly refused to let her in since Chi Shuyan didn’t have an appointment.
Chi Shuyan didn’t say anything and was about to give Qi Zhenbai a call, when the elevator doors on the first floor opened, and a very beautiful woman appeared.
She was dressed in a high-quality, tailored outfit, and her makeup was exquisite.
The woman also had a lot of bodyguards with her. Chi Shuyan glanced at them as she continued to dial on her phone. Many people at the front desk were very excited to see the woman.
A few of them, who were probably loyal fans, couldn’t contain their excitement and exclaimed, “It’s Zhou Manqing! It’s really the movie queen of our era, Zhou Manqing! The movie queen, Zhou Manqing, is at the company again. Let’s hurry and ask if we can take photos with her!”
“That’s right, a lot of people online say that Zhou Manqing is especially nice and friendly. She’s never refused to take pictures with fans. If you go and ask, she’ll definitely agree!”
Chi Shuyan felt that the name sounded familiar. She raised her eyes and her gaze swept over the woman, but she didn’t recognize her. She was about to look away, when she saw something that made her fall into deep thought.
Not far away, when the woman surnamed Zhou heard that someone wanted to take a photo with her, her originally delicate face suddenly stiffened, her eyes filled with incomparable fear and vigilance, and some irritation even appeared between her eyebrows.
Chi Shuyan glanced at the woman, whose fists were clenched tightly. She vaguely felt that something was off, but couldn’t say what.
But Chi Shuyan didn’t think much of it. When the call to the man’s private number connected, she said, “I’m at the front desk of your company!”
