Fourth Uncle Qi was rendered speechless and livid by the sharp tongue of Qi Zhenbai’s woman. Even if he died, he didn’t believe that Qi Zhenbai, this rascal, would be worried about him. So worried that he couldn’t sleep?
This woman was too good at lying through her teeth!
Fourth Uncle Qi was aggrieved, but he still had to pretend to be an elder on the surface. “I’ll have to thank you and Zhenbai!”
Fourth Aunt also squeezed out a smile and thanked them perfunctorily.
As for Qi Haoze and Qi Yunxiao, they had been brainwashed by their parents since they were young. The family didn’t have a good impression of Qi Zhenbai. In their hearts, he had stolen Grandpa’s attention and the status in the Qi family that was rightfully their father’s.
But Qi Zhenbai was too outstanding in looks and abilities, so every time Qi Yunxiao’s classmates found out about or saw her cousin, their attitude toward her would change 180 degrees.
Qi Yunxiao enjoyed this vanity, so she still called out obediently, “Big Cousin!” As for the woman next to him, Qi Yunxiao subconsciously ignored her. She heard from her parents that this woman was just from an insignificant family. How could she be worthy of her Qi family?
Qi Yunxiao deliberately sneered at Chi Shuyan.
Chi Shuyan directly treated the other party as if she didn’t exist. Qi Yunxiao was so angry that her face turned ugly.
As for Qi Haoze, he had lived in Qi Zhenbai’s shadow all his life. The name Qi Zhenbai was simply a nightmare to him. He had once tried to provoke Qi Zhenbai, his cousin, but in the end, Qi Zhenbai tortured him until he cried for his parents, leaving him with trauma for the rest of his life. So, it could be said that he hated and feared the man in front of him.
Qi Zhenbai took in the expressions of Fourth Uncle and his family. His own face was still stoic and expressionless. He didn’t even respond when Qi Yunxiao greeted him.
Chi Shuyan naturally stood on her man’s side. She took in the faces of Fourth Uncle and his family, curled her lip, and deliberately poked at Fourth Uncle’s sore spot. “Fourth Uncle, you’re too unlucky. That chandelier could have hit anyone last night, but it just had to hit you. I heard that only those who have done wrong are just that unlucky!”
As soon as Chi Shuyan finished speaking, Fourth Uncle Qi almost spat out a mouthful of blood. If his old man hadn’t acknowledged this woman last night, there was no way he would let this woman with an insignificant background call him Fourth Uncle.
Fourth Uncle Qi couldn’t help but say, “Zhenbai, what is with your partner? As expected of someone from an insignificant family. Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning for saying such disrespectful words to your elder?”
Chi Shuyan said innocently, “Fourth Uncle, if you’re not afraid of being struck by lightning after doing evil, what is there for me to be afraid of?”
Qi Zhenbai couldn’t help but be amused when he saw his Fourth Uncle almost expire with rage because of his wife. His wife was really powerful!
Without waiting for Fourth Uncle Qi to speak, Qi Zhenbai nodded. “My wife is right! Fourth Uncle, have you never done anything wrong in your life? Do you dare swear?”
Fourth Uncle Qi was so angry that he almost couldn’t breathe. His face alternated between green and white. Fourth Aunt Qi couldn’t help but say, “Zhenbai, no matter what, this is your fourth uncle. Why are you helping an outsider talk back to your fourth uncle? How can such a rude junior be worthy of our Qi family?”
Qi Zhenbai interrupted Fourth Aunt coldly. “Who dares say that my wife is an outsider? Besides, whether she’s worthy or not is up to me. Who are you to intervene?” The man’s eyes were sharp and his aura was strong, scaring Fourth Aunt so much that her face turned pale.
Qi Haoze still wanted to help his mother, but when he met that pair of incomparably cold and sharp eyes, he was the first to admit defeat. Qi Yunxiao was usually someone who shamelessly exploited connections to intimidate others, but in the face of this serious eldest cousin, Qi Yunxiao didn’t dare say anything.
Only when Fourth Uncle Qi’s family behaved themselves was Qi Zhenbai satisfied. After his wife put down the fruits, Qi Zhenbai didn’t give the Qi family any face and turned around to leave with his wife!
