In the end, Shengcheng took the initiative to stand up.
"Xiao Qi, we meet again."
Different from the ease when we first met at Fenglou the night before, today's grand occasion was a bit restrained, and even the greetings were a little awkward.
On the other hand, Ruan Qi, as if nothing had happened, shouted "Uncle Sheng" with a smile.
Seeing the bright smile on the little girl's face, Sheng Kuang felt a little less restrained.
He let out a relaxed breath and was about to speak when he heard Mr. Xi's roaring laughter.
"Xiaoqi is here?"
Everyone turned their heads and saw Old Man Xi, who had disappeared for several hours, magically appear at the door of the hall.
When Ruan Qi saw Mr. Xi, he immediately trotted over with a smile.
"Grandpa Xi~" she shouted sweetly.
Mr. Xi immediately smiled as if he had been smeared with honey, and there were even a few more wrinkles in the corners of his eyes.
"Xiao Qi, are you tired from the journey here? The sun outside is so hot, are you getting burned? Oh, why is your face a little red? You didn't put on sunscreen, did you?"
Good guy, this old man actually knows how to wear sunscreen!
Ruan Qi couldn't help laughing, and held the old man's arm obediently, "Grandpa Xi, I'm not hot. It's cool in the car. The palace steward also bought me ice cream."
"Have you eaten ice cream? Okay, okay, Mr. Gong did a good job!" Mr. Xi glanced at Gong Qi appreciatively, then patted the little girl on the head, "Xiao Qi, let's eat here tonight. Let Chef Chen make your favorite Dishes!"
Ruan Qi was not pretentious and responded sweetly.
Everyone in the Sheng family was almost stunned watching the interaction between the old and the young.
They all knew that the Xi family liked Ruan Qi very much, but they never thought that Mr. Xi really loved Ruan Qi as his granddaughter!
Looking at that posture, if Ruan Qi hadn't been able to change her surname, he might have changed her surname to Xi directly? !
Everyone in the Sheng family was speechless, and at the same time their hearts sank a little.
The more the Xi family values Ruan Qi, the more difficult it becomes for them. Ruan Qi has the ability and backing. Can a simple apology and self-reflection make her let Ye Qingqing go?
Everyone in the Sheng family felt heavy, but Mr. Xi was extremely happy.
He took the little girl's wrist and led her to the main seat of the sofa to sit down.
"Xiao Qi, these are the Sheng family. You know Sheng Kuang, the one next to him is..."
"I am Sheng Jian'an, the eldest brother of Sheng Kuang." Sheng Jian'an said quickly.
He was obviously almost forty years older than Ruan Qi, but he didn't dare to show any slights in his attitude.
"Hello, Mr. Sheng." Ruan Qi smiled and nodded.
Sheng Jian'an couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his palms.
Although the other party was only twenty years old, he somehow always felt like he was facing a majestic elder. Sheng Jianan had never experienced that kind of intense psychological pressure when facing his father.
This girl is not simple.
Sheng Jian'an sighed secretly in his heart, then cheered up and introduced to Ruan Qi: "Miss Ruan, this is my second sister, Sheng Lin."
Ruan Qi looked at the legendary Ye Qingqing's mother, the beloved eldest lady of the Sheng family.
She looks very similar to Ye Qingqing. Judging from the condition of her skin, she should be well-maintained on weekdays. But maybe it's because he's been worrying too much lately, and his whole body is showing signs of fatigue and haggard.
But even so, her usual arrogance and fierceness can still be seen.
Ruan Qi looked at her, raised her eyebrows, and said nothing.
And when Sheng Lin looked at this girl who made her daughter's life worse than death, her heart and eyes seemed to be quenched with poison, and she wanted to tear her alive.
Sheng Jian'an noticed her eyes, his face changed slightly, and he quickly stepped forward to block her view.
"Miss Ruan, let me introduce you again. This is my second brother-in-law, Ye Liang." He changed the subject.
Ruan Qi looked at the man standing next to Sheng Lin and said hello distantly.
Sheng Jian'an: "Miss Ruan, this is my father..."
"I'll do it myself." Mr. Sheng interrupted his son.
He stood up with a cane and looked straight at Ruan Qi with his sharp old eyes.
Ruan Qi raised her eyebrows and looked straight back without any pressure, her smiling expression unchanged.
The old man and the young man looked at each other for nearly half a minute. Finally, Mr. Sheng took the lead to look away.
He sighed tiredly, "Miss Ruan is indeed a formidable person."
Ruan Qi's smile did not change: "Thank you, Mr. Sheng. Your granddaughter is also pretty good."
How could Mr. Sheng not hear that she was speaking sarcastically? He couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.
"Miss Ruan, what happened to Qingqing is that our Sheng family didn't educate us well. It caused you trouble. We came here today with 100% sincerity. I hope you can see..."
Having said this, Mr. Sheng paused.
He originally wanted to say, 'for the sake of the long-term friendship between the Xi family and the Sheng family,' but when he thought of Mr. Xi and Xi Jiu's extreme protection of Ruan Qi, he couldn't say these words.
Mr. Sheng was embarrassed and didn't know how to continue.
Ruan Qi understood what he wanted to express.
She laughed.
"Mr. Sheng may be worrying too much. I am a person who keeps my promises. I made it very clear on the phone yesterday that as long as Ye Qingqing bows ninety degrees to apologize and sends a 5,000-word self-criticism in the group Book, this matter is considered a chapter."
"So, you don't have to worry that I will take advantage of Grandpa Xi and the others to do whatever they want. I'm not that kind of ignorant person~"
Mr. Sheng didn't expect that Ruan Qi would expose his little thoughts so bluntly, and he couldn't help but feel a little agitated.
He coughed in embarrassment, "Miss Ruan was so quick to talk, but I got distracted. In that case, let Qingqing apologize first."
After speaking, he winked at Sheng Jianan.
Sheng Jianan immediately made a call.
Not two minutes after the call was made, several people who looked like bodyguards walked into the Xi family mansion carrying a stretcher.
There was a person lying on the stretcher, and that person was covered with a quilt. He must be Ye Qingqing.
"Miss Ruan, Qingqing is unable to move now and can only be carried in this way. Please forgive me." Sheng Jian'an said politely.
Ruan Qi nodded without surprise.
According to the level of toxins in Ye Qingqing's body, it would be a miracle that she could still be alive and kicking.
Several bodyguards placed the stretcher on the carpet in the center of the hall.
Sheng Jian'an walked over and grabbed the sheet covering Ye Qingqing's head.
Ruan Qi couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth when she saw the color of the sheets.
The Sheng family are also talented people. Before the person is dead, a white sheet is put over the head. This meant that Ye Qingqing was in a coma. If she were awake, she would be furious if she saw this sheet.
Sheng Jian'an didn't know what Ruan Qi was complaining about.
He grabbed the corner of the white sheet and said apologetically: "Mr. Xi, Miss Ruan, Qingqing is covered with ulcers and her face is a little scary. Please forgive me."
After saying that, he raised his wrist and the white sheets were completely lifted.
Mr. Xi suddenly took a breath of air.
