Chapter 306 Talking to smart people is so much easier
Half an hour later, the car arrived at Starlight Entertainment.
Qi Huan took out her phone and dialed Jiang Youli's number.
"Little Li'er, I've arrived. I'll be waiting for you downstairs."
"Okay~ Coming right away!"
The playful voice seemed to soothe Qi Huan's ears, and her mood inexplicably brightened.
Not long after, Jiang Youli appeared at the entrance of the company building.
She walked briskly, like a leaping musical note, jogging towards Qi Huan.
Qi Huan felt that Jiang Youli was like the first ray of sunshine in the morning, warm and bright, making people feel happy.
Jiang Youli opened the door and got into the car. Looking at the lunchbox and fresh fruit drinks on the back seat, she praised, "Lunch is ready again."
Qi Huan said with a gentle and doting look in her eyes, "Well, today you not only have to treat me, but also help Uncle Ya. I was worried you would go hungry, so I thought I'd have someone prepare it in advance so you can eat it in the car first."
Because the interior space is spacious enough and the back of the seats is equipped with an automatically retractable dining table, eating in the car is not inconvenient at all.
Considering it would take more than half an hour to get to Zhou Zerui's neighborhood, Jiang Youli said without hesitation, "Okay, you can eat with me too~"
Qi Huan smiled and said, "Okay."
Cheng Jing, who was driving, looked in the rearview mirror at his young master and Jiang Youli, who were eating with great relish in the back seat. For some reason, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.
Young Master is becoming more and more down-to-earth.
He spent ten million on a luxury car to have dinner with his loved one.
"Has Longyuan taken any action since they guessed that Zhou Zerui is your younger brother?" Jiang Youli asked.
Qi Huan told her about the [same-city delivery] service.
Without thinking, Jiang Youli said, "If it's not a time bomb, then it must be something to deal with you."
"And the thing that could make Zhou Zerui and Uncle Ya distrust you and be detrimental to you is most likely something related to your mother."
Qi Huan said, "That's what I think too."
At this point, he frankly said, "Twenty-two years ago, although I was still young, when I learned that my mother had died in a car accident, I thought that the accident happened on the same day that my younger brother was sent away by Qi Tianxiang. It was too much of a coincidence. I did not dwell on the pain for too long, but planned to investigate secretly. At that time, I also thought that it was my father, Qi Tianxiang, who caused the accident that killed my mother."
“But I had the bodyguard my mom left behind investigate, and no one has tampered with my mom’s car.”
"It was precisely because Qi Tianxiang was ruled out as the suspect in my mother's death that I had no defenses against him and never even considered that Qi Yue might be a fake."
Jiang Youli thought for a moment, "Your father, Qi Tianxiang, may be one of the pawns, but there may be another pawn that is even more detrimental to you."
Qi Huan quickly understood Jiang Youli's unspoken meaning, "You mean... my grandfather?"
It's so easy to talk to smart people; they understand what I mean so quickly.
Jiang Youli nodded, "The only people we can use against you now are your father, Qi Tianxiang, and Grandpa Qi, who can decide whether you can become the heir of the Qi family."
"Qi Tianxiang is basically a useless piece to you. If we're talking about who can defeat you, Grandpa Qi is a better piece."
Qi Huan couldn't help but smile. "If they really target my grandfather, then it's not just Long Yuan's doing; it's more like Qi Feifan's doing."
"In short, this is just our guess. We'll find out whether it's true or not when we see Zhou Zerui and Uncle Ya later." Jiang Youli said, putting a piece of braised fish that had been deboned into her mouth.
Fragrant!
Every day since I came to the Beijing circle has been a truly fulfilling and nerve-wracking experience!
……
When they arrived at the upscale residential area that Qi Huan had arranged for Zhou Zerui and the mute uncle, Jiang Youli and Qi Huan had just finished their meal. Qi Huan carried the meal that he had brought for Zhou Zerui and the mute uncle and went into the residential area with Jiang Youli.
I went up to the 22nd floor and rang the doorbell of apartment 2203.
A short while later, the door opened.
Inside the room, Zhou Zerui glanced at Jiang Youli and Qi Huan with a complicated expression, then calmly greeted them, "President Jiang, President Qi."
After saying that, he stepped aside to let Jiang Youli and Qi Huan in.
"How is Uncle Ya doing today?" Jiang Youli asked Zhou Zerui directly as soon as she entered the room.
Zhou Zerui closed the door, concealing his emotions, and said, "Uncle Ya is doing very well. After your treatment yesterday, he hasn't been unconscious since, but he's already taken a nap."
"Yes, I will continue to treat him today. As for his mute uncle's inner conflict, you should also ask him about it and help him resolve it," Jiang Youli instructed.
Zhou Zerui's eyes darkened slightly. "Okay."
He only learned today that the mute uncle's unresolved issue might be the death of his mother, Cheng Xiran.
Only by truly and thoroughly avenging his mother can Uncle Ya's inner conflict be truly resolved.
Qi Huan noticed Zhou Zerui's unusual behavior. He didn't ask directly, but just smiled and said, "Zhou Zerui, the paternity test results are in. You are my younger brother."
Zhou Zerui didn't feel much emotionally, and simply hummed in response.
"Have you eaten?" Qi Huan asked him. "I brought you some food."
"No need, I've already eaten," Zhou Zerui refused.
Jiang Youli also noticed that Zhou Zerui's reaction was a bit unusual. After exchanging a brief glance with Qi Huan, she said in tacit understanding, "In that case, I'll go treat Uncle Ya first."
Qi Huan nodded, "Okay."
After Jiang Youli entered the room, Qi Huan put down the lunchbox she had brought and looked at Zhou Zerui, "Knowing that you are my younger brother, aren't you happy?"
Zhou Zerui was taken aback. "...How could I not be happy? To become the younger brother of the eldest young master of the Qi family means a life of wealth and honor, without any worries for the rest of my life. Anyone would be laughing in their sleep."
"Really? But you don't seem happy," Qi Huan asked. "If there's anything about you being my younger brother that's bothering you, just tell me, and I'll try my best to ease your mind."
Hearing this, Zhou Zerui was conflicted. He did not trust Qi Huan, but he trusted even less the person who sent him the information about his mother.
Qi Huan asked gently, "Is it because of the package I received this morning?"
Zhou Zerui froze, his eyes filled with disbelief: "You..."
He stopped, without finishing his sentence.
"You want to know how I know?" Qi Huan smiled. "Before you, I took in Qi Tianxiang's illegitimate son as my own brother and poured my heart out to him for three years, only to be murdered by him, Qi Tianxiang, and Qi Tianxiang's illegitimate daughter, leaving me crippled. After experiencing this, how could I not be more vigilant?"
“Although I don’t know what’s in that package, it must be something that’s bothering you. Perhaps you don’t trust me, which is why you’re not telling me. But I must warn you, if you’re hiding something very important from me, you and Uncle Ya will only be in danger.” Qi Huan stopped there and didn’t say much more. “I promised Uncle Ya yesterday that I would take you to find Qi Tianxiang and make him receive the punishment he deserves. I’ll take you to find Qi Tianxiang after Xiao Li’er finishes treating Uncle Ya.”
Zhou Zerui hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "Okay."
The video sent by the person who delivered the package to him and Uncle Ya showed that Qi Tianxiang had been secretly sent away by Qi Huan, and Qi Huan had no intention of dealing with Qi Tianxiang at all.
If what that person said is true, then Qi Huan is lying to him right now.
But if Qi Huan really takes him and Uncle Ya to settle accounts with Qi Tianxiang, Zhou Zerui will choose to believe Qi Huan and tell her what's in the package!
