Chapter 26
After a tiring day, Yi Qingju finally laid down with a sleep mask on her face.
The little turtle, Xiaojiji, crawled onto her belly and said: 【Host, guess which lucky person is trending on the hot search now?】
Yi Qingju gave a cold snort: “Who else could it be other than I, the great queen.”
When she turned on her phone, the first thing she saw were all the missed calls from her original parents and even some from Yi Bingmei.
On Weibo, it was even more so. As soon as she logged in, what entered her eyes was a HD picture of Qi Weiran hugging her in his arms while holding a black umbrella.
Yi Qingju clicked open the photo and judged: “The effect of a whole day of beauty treatments is just different. This face has perfectly resisted the HD camera without a single flaw.”
Little Jiji crawled over and nodded: 【Yes, host is so pretty. But Qi Weiran is also so handsome】
Yi Qingju didn’t want to admit it, but these photos were indeed very good. Even with tricky angles, Qi Weiran’s exquisite side profile was still perfect as if it were the life's work of an artist.
"Hmm?"
When Qi Weiran hugged Yi Qingju, his sharp facial features seemed to soften a bit for that moment, which made her petite figure appear even more delicate.
"I'm even suspecting that Qi Weiran got someone to take these photos." The corner of her mouth twitched.
The comments below were filled with disbelief and wailing.
Someone asked if Yi Qingju had cast a spell on Qi Weiran. There were even people who noticed the necklace around her neck.
Without a doubt, when this series of jewelry officially goes on shelves tomorrow, it would be wildly snatched up.
"Little Jiji, look. This is what capitalists are truly after."
"Maybe that woman who threw paint was an actor hired by Qi Weiran to deliberately create this scene and take the chance to promote their family jewelry."
Yi Qingju analyzed knowingly, thinking she had discovered the truth.
But unbeknownst to her, the other side was also suspecting that the woman was hired by her.
It turns out that the two were a perfect match when it came to suspecting each other.
On the day of the kindergarten's drama performance, Qi Weiran did make time to support his nephew.
Yi Qingju had even specially bought a slightly mature xiaohongfeng outfit.
She was still quite young and her face was tender. Many people thought she was Qi Xinian's sister.
"Sir, I'm ready."
She came downstairs and the first thing she saw was Qi Weiran standing there in a crisp suit. He even had a brooch pinned to his lapel, dressed as if he was going to some national formal occasion.
It looked even better than what he wore at the banquet that day.
Yi Qingju thought: 【He knows he’s going to watch his nephew’s performance, but those who don’t know would think he’s going fishing for beautiful mothers at the kindergarten】
Qi Weiran: "......"
Unfortunately, Qi Weiran did not openly appear at the kindergarten. Instead, he went through a special passage after giving them a heads up.
Yi Qingju was astonished.
Who could have expected that such an ordinary kindergarten would have a special passage and a VIP suite with a large window and excellent viewing spot?
"Uncle, you can see the stage so clearly from here!" Qi Xinian pressed against the glass and looked down below. He then excitedly glanced at the large high definition screen in the room that showed a clear view of the stage.
He seemed especially happy today and did not clamor to watch cartoon shows when eating breakfast like usual.
"Let's go. You need to get dressed up and wear makeup." Yi Qingju urged.
Only after Qi Weiran nodded did she take the child away.
"Still remember your lines? Don’t forget later on stage. I won't be in the suite but will be watching you from below. Don't be nervous."
Oddly, Yi Qingju was even more nervous than Qi Xinian who was the one performing.
The boy patted his chest with the maturity beyond his years: "Don't worry. As a man of Digimon, I will never drop the ball at critical moments."
Yi Qingju smiled.
"Then I'm relieved. Man of Digimon."
When she sent him to his teacher, she ran into Sun Wenjuan who was holding An Zuoran's hand.
When Sun Wenjuan saw her, her eyes lit up instantly: "Chairwoman Yi—"
Yi Qingju put a finger to her mouth and shushed her.
Sun Wenjuan understood immediately.
Watching the two children get pulled away by the teacher, Yi Qingju smiled at Sun Wenjuan whose complexion seemed much rosier: "Mrs. An, what role is your child playing?"
Sun Wenjuan said shyly: "The prince."
Yi Qingju nodded.
So he got that role.
At the same time, an out-of-place figure took the chance to sneak in.
Qi Weiran, who was originally resting with eyes closed, received a call from Wansui.
"Sir, the prey has entered."
The half-closed amber eyes opened instantly.
"Good."
Just after he finished speaking, the door to the suite was knocked.
Concealing the chill in his eyes, Qi Weiran adjusted his sitting posture nonchalantly.
"Come in."
Then a finely dressed woman came in. Her eyebrows and eyes resembled that person.
"Mr. Qi?" Yi Bingmei also seemed surprised.
She scanned her surroundings before softly asking: "Qingju is not here? I thought she would be here too."
Looking at this woman who stared at him without hiding her affection, Qi Weiran casually pointed and said: "Sit."
Yi Bingmei was somewhat astonished.
She did not expect Qi Weiran to be so agreeable today.
Could it be because Yi Qingju was here last time that he was too shy?
Disdain flashed across her eyes. When she raised them again, she had reverted back to her pure appearance: "Alright."
Looking at her as she put on an innocent act, Qi Weiran felt a surge of disgust.
He originally did not intend to harm her since she was Yi Qingju's family.
But after some investigation, he discovered that she was also behind the elevator incident.
Then she could not be spared.
"Sir, it's so nice to see you." She said emotionally, unable to suppress the anxiety on her face.
Qi Weiran timely asked: "Did something happen?"
Yi Bingmei hesitated for a few seconds before biting her lip and saying: "Actually...our family has been in a bad situation recently. My father's company seems to have offended someone and is about to go bankrupt."
"We didn't want to bother Qingju initially, but mother had an accident so we had no choice but to call her for help. Yet we haven't been able to get through..."
Fragile tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
Qi Weiran nodded understandingly: "I'll give you 500,000."
A million would be too much and he could not give that much.
Yi Bingmei looked up in surprise. After a brief moment of panic, she first rejected: "Ah, no, that won't do. Although our family is poor, how can we take Sir's money."
Qi Weiran said: "Consider it as me lending it to you. You can pay me back when you have money in the future."
Yi Bingmei was not so easily fooled: "Ah...but I don't have any money."
A cold glint flashed across his eyes. Qi Weiran thought, she finally took the bait.
He stood up and slowly walked to stand tall in front of her. Staring down at her, he said in a low voice: "Then sell your body."
