They originally thought their big brother would make up some other story. Unexpectedly, Qi Yusen was only silent for a while before he picked up Qiao Qing and made her sit on his lap.
“My all so capable little princess, if they try to break my legs, you would protect me, right?”
Qiao Qing, “...”
The Qi family, “...”
Mu Jinghang’s lips twitched and he mumbled to Jun Yexuan, “Brother Qi sure is fearless.”
Jun Yexuan’s celestial-looking eyes squinted into a line.
What a bastard of a brother-in-law! Who holds onto their sister like that?! This was nonsense!
Qi Shengkuan stared at Qi Yusen’s nonchalant behavior and soon turned furious.
“So you know your legs are going to be broken soon! Fifth grandson, go get the whip I had when I was younger!”
Qi Chengyu froze then said, “Grandpa, we are at Qi Yusen’s house, not our house.”
Qi Shengkuan’s fury reached his throat, “Then go find me a thick branch! You must be able to find one somewhere here!”
Chen Feijun was flustered and looked over to Qi Yaozong.”
Qi Yaozong only hissed, “That bastard dared to hide his sister! He must take the consequences!”
Qi Yuyang asked, “Grandpa, are you really going to break big brother’s leg?”
“You guys too!” Qi Shengkuan stared at the partners in crime, Qi Yuyang, Qi Yeli, and Qi Yunyan, “Don’t you dare for a second think I don’t know you guys are behind this too! He’s the mastermind and you guys are his accomplices! None of you can get away!”
Qi Yuyang pitifully glanced at Qi Yunyan’s legs, “Second brother, why don’t you run away first? Your legs just healed. It would be such a shame.”
Qi Yunyan, “...”
Just then, Qiao Qing gently coughed and said to Qi Yusen, “Brother, I’m hungry.”
Though she spoke to Qi Yusen, the entire Qi family got nervous.
Wen Yuzhen, “Qingqing’s hungry? Why isn’t the food ready?!”
Qi Shengkuan, “How did you take care of our baby granddaughter?! Why did you let her go hungry?!”
Qi Chengyu, “Is the food ready? If it’s not ready yet, I can go cook. I make great dishes.”
“...”
The way Qi Yusen looked at Qiao Qing was full of affection. Of course, he knew that this girl was helping him out.
On the side, Ning Ye got the message, “Let’s eat.” Then he picked up Qiao Qing and headed to the dining room.
Qiao Qing looked up at the group of people and fell into silence.
Qi Shengkuan didn’t forget his original goal, “Don’t you think for a second that I’m forgetting about this just because my good granddaughter is hungry! After my amazing granddaughter eats, I’m going to teach all of you a lesson!”
Qi Yusen + Qi Yunyan + Qi Yeli + Qi Yuyang, “...”
After the Qi family all headed to the dining room, Mu Jinghang said to Jun Yexuan, who didn’t move, “Third brother, aren’t you going to go eat?”
“You think if those four Qi brothers are in there, they get to eat?” Jun Yexuan answered, “Before they notice me, I need to think of a plan.”
Mu Jinghang, “...”
Third brother, don’t be a scaredy-cat!
As if Jun Yexuan read Mu Jinghang’s mind, he glanced at him, “Don’t forget that you were also involved in hiding Qingqing.”
Mu Jinghang, “...”
Mu Jinghang looked around and tried to escape. However, Jun Yexuan grabbed him by his collar, “Good brothers go through thick and thin together.”
Mu Jinghang, “...”
Jun Yexuan was correct. Qi Yusen and his accomplices were banned from eating at the dining table with everyone else.
The four of them lined up in a row and stood behind the dining table – waiting for their punishment that would happen after the meal.
As for Qiao Qing, a crowd of brothers and their parents surrounded her. She didn’t even get the chance to use her chopsticks.
