Become a hindrance...
Like today...
Qu Zian lowered his head, fists clenched. Although he knew it was true, being told by an outsider really... annoyed him...
"Forget it," suddenly Ji Qiutang said blandly, "This time they were originally seeking trouble with Bi Xia, and you were just a step in their plan to deal with Bi Xia, so it’s not your fault."
"But..." Ji Qiutang looked indifferently at Qu Zian, "If you were more attentive, perhaps Bi Xia wouldn’t have to face it the way he did..." displaying that look of anger mixed with forced calmness, helplessness yet striving to change...
"However, it’s fortunate," Ji Qiutang resumed his gentle tone, smiling slightly at Qu Zian, "It’s fortunate to have rescued you in time, otherwise Bi Xia might have really ended up in trouble."
In a way, Qu Zian and Ji Qiutang are quite similar, but Qu Zian is genuinely gentle, both inside and out, and although past setbacks made him disappointed with society’s apathy, fortunately, he always had Wen Yian by his side, who offered him full protection.
Thus, Qu Zian’s gentleness radiated from within.
But Ji Qiutang is different. Though he seems gentle and elegant, deep down, he is colder than anyone else. Qu Zian could sense from the start that Ji Qiutang was the kind who could stab you with a smile, and such people, if they wish to be kind to you, they’ll be immensely kind, but if they don’t, you won’t notice anything amiss.
And such people are more terrifying than those who are naturally cold-hearted.
Qu Zian looked at Ji Qiutang, his expression sinking, "No need to say, I won’t become Little Nine’s hindrance!"
"Oh? Is that so?" Ji Qiutang smiled slightly, "That’s best."
Listening to Ji Qiutang, Qu Zian said flatly, "Then I hope you won’t pull any tricks behind Little Nine’s back."
Ji Qiutang turned and looked at Qu Zian, "That... can’t be guaranteed."
Qu Zian frowned, "What do you mean?"
Ji Qiutang shrugged, smiling, "In a sense, I am a businessman, and as a businessman, I even calculate with family and brothers."
"But rest assured," Ji Qiutang put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the door, "I am very interested in the child Bi Xia, wouldn’t do anything to harm him."
Moreover... looking at the current situation, sooner or later, the kid will grow into someone I can’t harm...
Exiting the room, Ji Qiutang’s clear eyes half-closed, even if he wanted to act, it was impossible, thinking of his family’s old man’s appearance, Ji Qiutang sighed, seemingly predicting a future where he would have no status at home.
That little thing knows how to feign sweetness and cleverness, and looks good too, probably the old man would agree to anything with a bit of acting cute...
Indeed... it’s better to just pampering as a brother to maintain some position at home in the future...
Oddly... it doesn’t feel unpleasant...
Thinking, Ji Qiutang bent his clear eyes and smiled slowly.
Suddenly, his expression turned cold, stepping forward and telling the person beside him, "Check out what’s going on between Bi Xia and the Xu Family?"
Even the Beijing Xu Family is involved, slightly pausing, is it for the Xia Family’s recipes?
"Brother Yi’an, how are you?" Having just hung up with Ji Qiutang, Bi Xia received a call from Chu Wu and heard Wen Yian’s voice.
Wen Yian scratched his head, relieved, "No problem, no problem. Luckily, I’m good in a fight, escaped, and then was found by Miss Chu and Fei."
After hearing Wen Yian call Chu Wu Miss Chu, Bi Xia lightly coughed, slightly uneasy, saying, "Is Feixiaofei also there?"
"Yes, yes, Miss Chu was likely worried I’d think she’s a bad person. I’m safe here, don’t worry, you focus in Qing City. Oh, about Zian..." Wen Yian apparently heard from Chu Wu that Bi Xia contacted her before and guessed something might have happened to Qu Zian.
Bi Xia smiled, "Don’t worry, Brother Zi’an is safe now, things will be settled tonight. Brother Yi’an, just take care of yourself first."
Chu Wu took over the call, "He’s with me, rest assured, how are things?"
"He’s rescued, tonight..." Bi Xia’s starry eyes turned icy, "Those outsiders must get out of Qing City, at all costs!"
