Because of Qi Zhenbai, the atmosphere in the Chi family dropped to a freezing point. It was still evening, when the Wei family had a guest. Wei Ting came over to call Father Chi and Chi Shuyan over for dinner, and Father Chi’s face improved a lot.
However, he wasn’t in the mood to go to the Wei residence to eat today. Besides, why would he and his daughter go over when the Wei family had a guest?
In the end, Wei Ting and Wei Man came over repeatedly to invite them over, so Father Chi could only take his daughter to the Wei residence.
Chi Shuyan looked at her father’s face, which had been black for the entire day. She wanted to ease their relationship, so she took the initiative to hook arms with her father. Wei Ting couldn’t help but talk about Chi Shuyan’s antidote for the corpse poison in the afternoon and how she had taken jabs at the Fang family. He also told Chi Lingyan about how Fang Qingtian had fainted from anger.
“Uncle Chi, you don’t know how powerful Sister Shuyan was! Commander Fang never gained the upper hand at all!”
Chi Lingyan’s face changed drastically as he stared intently at his daughter. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his daughter had become a lot more unfamiliar to him. However, Chi Lingyan could still recognize his own daughter. At the same time, he felt more and more guilty for neglecting her in the past because of his busy schedule. At the thought that Yan Yan, this child, would directly attack the Fang family for him, Chi Lingyan’s expression was worried but also very gentle at the same time. He took the initiative to pat the child’s head and said, “Don’t worry about adult matters in the future!”
Chi Shuyan blinked and saw the worry in her father’s eyes. She said happily, “Got it, Dad!”
At the Wei residence, Wei Xiao didn’t expect this Qi family member to personally come all this way. Wei Xiao was very flattered. He was a generation older than Qi Zhenbai, but this Qi family member had been very famous when he was still in the military.
Back when this Chief Qi appeared out of nowhere, he didn’t rely on old General Qi or the Qi family but on himself to climb up step by step from the bottom as he earned military merits and quickly climbed to the rank of major general.
How many people had been shocked back then? This Chief Qi had completely crushed the seniors of their generation as well as outstanding young people of the same age. How many people had been left in the dust? Even a few of the elders had lamented.
It was a pity that there had been a limit to what this person’s body could do. Otherwise, he would undoubtedly be another General Qi, and it was absolutely possible for him to go even further.
Even though this person had retired, Wei Xiao still had to respectfully call him “Chief Qi” or “Major General Qi.” He didn’t dare underestimate him in the slightest.
Wei Xiao had only had the good fortune to meet Chief Qi a few times. In his memory, this man typically had a cold and stoic face, and exuded a majestic and murderous aura that was very oppressive.
He remembered the first time he and a few other seniors of his age met this person, including the insufferably arrogant Fang Qingtian. Back then, Chief Qi had stared at him so intently that Fang Qingtian didn’t even dare lift his head. Now, this person had shed his murderous and ruthless aura, and was taking the initiative to smile and chat with him.
Wei Xiao still didn’t dare lower his guard, and remained restrained. To be honest, he didn’t dare build a relationship with this Qi family member, so he had no idea why this person would suddenly show up.
Whether it was a good or bad thing, Wei Xiao asked in a low voice, “Chief Qi, how has old General Qi been doing recently? Please give him my greetings!”
Qi Zhenbai still had a smile on his face. On closer look, no matter how he smiled, his face was still mostly cold and hard. “Sure! Of course I have to pass on Commander Wei’s words to my grandfather!”
Qi Zhenbai saw Commander Wei’s restraint and thought of how his future father-in-law had a close relationship with this person. Qi Zhenbai changed the subject and said, “Commander Wei, we’re all on the same side; just call me by my name!”
Only after getting close to this person could the latter help him put in a good word with his future father-in-law..
