Chapter 144 I've Wanted to Beat You for a Long Time
Shi Xing walked out of the police station and looked back.
Although she felt that she was a bit unkind, her current situation was indeed inconvenient.
I can only let Lu Li down.
It was at this time that Qi Chenyan called.
Obviously he knew.
Shi Xing looked at the caller ID with some hesitation, and hesitated for several seconds before answering the phone.
Without waiting for Qi Chenyan to speak, she called out delicately: "Husband~"
It's so coquettish that it makes people itch.
The person on the other end of the phone really paused, then chuckled: "When you're in trouble, you know to call me husband."
Shi Xing said innocently, "I didn't cause any trouble."
Qi Chenyan was just helpless: "Just drag Lu Li along and make trouble."
Shi Xing: "I also want to help you. How long will it take if Brother Lu Ci continues like this? I promise that after this scene is played out today, An Ran's trust in him will double.
If Brother Lu Ci is smart, and takes advantage of An Ran's injury and the signing of the equity transfer agreement, and takes advantage of An Ran's current emotional excitement to induce An Ran to say that she is willing to give her equity to Brother Lu Ci, then the video will be found, right? "
Lu Ci could pretend that he didn't want it, but An Ran had to say it.
An Ran would definitely be willing to say this kind of polite words that don't need to be given seriously.
Qi Chenyan chuckled: "Yes, Xingxing is very powerful."
Just now, while Lu Ci was in the operating room, he had someone put the equity transfer agreement in the surgery notice for An Ran to sign.
An Ran was flustered and confused at the moment. She didn't look carefully and just signed wherever she was told to.
When Lu Ci's 'surgery' is over and he 'wakes up', it will depend on how Lu Ci acts.
If they could capture the video, the An family would fall completely into their hands.
There was no one behind An Qinghui.
It is indeed a good thing to be able to accomplish something today.
Shi Xing raised his chin proudly, "That's right, otherwise you would think I'm really useless."
Then he asked, "How about you? Has your mother arrived? Where are you now?"
It's almost five o'clock in the afternoon now. The time difference between Kyoto and here is only more than an hour, which means it's almost six o'clock there.
Qi Chenyan: "I'm already at the hotel and about to go in. Mom will come over later."
After saying that, he reminded Shi Xing: "Go home quickly. It's too late, don't wander around outside alone. Also, don't look at your phone for too long. I can't video chat with you tonight to supervise your dinner, so just eat more. But don't eat anything too fishy or spicy..."
He's been like this these days, unable to stop once he starts talking. Shi Xing interrupted him speechlessly: "Alright, alright, you have to say these words several times a day, my ears are getting calluses from hearing them."
In Kyoto, Qi Chenyan's car was parked in the hotel parking lot. He leaned in the back seat and talked to Shi Xing on the phone. He raised his eyebrows when he heard her say, "Xingxing, do you think I'm nagging you now?"
Wenzhou in the driver's seat remained silent.
It's indeed a bit long-winded, and he's almost sick of listening to it these days.
It's just that the Third Young Master has no self-awareness.
Qi Chenyan's tone was obviously threatening, as if he would punish Shi Xing if she dared to complain about him being nagging.
Shi Xing smiled sweetly on the other end of the phone: "No way, how could I dislike my husband being so nagging? I just regret that I don't have a notebook and pen right now, otherwise I would definitely write down every single one and recite them silently at any time to prevent my husband from worrying at all."
Qi Chenyan was amused by her, and he curled his lips: "Why are you pretending to be good? I wish you were really so obedient."
After saying that, he checked the time and said, "Okay, baby, be good, I'm getting off the bus."
Shi Xing said, "Hmm," "You have to be careful."
"it is good."
The corners of Qi Chenyan's lips were curved with ease, but after he hung up the phone, the smile faded.
After calming down, Fang Yuan got out of the car and opened the door for him. Qi Chenyan stepped out of the car with an extremely indifferent expression.
An Qinghui had never agreed to hold today's banquet, but Qi Chenyan directly sent out invitations to all the wealthy families in Kyoto.
He was actually not sure what Lu Tian wanted to do, but what he needed to do was to provide support and not give anyone the chance to hurt Lu Tian.
As Qi Chenyan walked into the hotel, he met Qi Muci.
Qi Muci had just arrived and saw Qi Chenyan's grim expression: "What do you want to do?"
Qi Chenyan put his hands in his trouser pockets and smiled lightly without any emotion: "It's grandma's birthday. What's wrong with me hosting a party for her? What can I do?"
Qi Muci stared at him: "No matter what you want to do, it's useless. Your grandma won't come!"
Qi Chenyan lowered his eyes for a moment.
Really? He thought An Qinghui would come.
Once the equity transfer agreement was sent to her, she couldn't sit still anymore.
Qi Chenyan felt more and more that Qi Xingxing's move today was very appropriate, and she was indeed his treasure.
He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. My intention is there."
After saying that, he raised his eyes again and said, "Since father is here, let's go in and meet the guests first. After all, it's our Qi family who invited people here. I don't think father would want others to laugh at our Qi family, right?"
Qi Muci met his gaze and his heart shrank slightly.
He lost his wife, and at some point he also lost his son.
For more than half a month, Qi Chenyan has been suppressing him in all aspects.
Because he had spent his youth in Kyoto, most of the power of the Qi family and the Qi clan had already been in the hands of Qi Chenyan.
After all, no one had ever thought that they would come to this point. Qi Muci could guard against anyone, and he had never thought of guarding against Qi Chenyan.
But if he really wanted to kill Qi Chenyan, he really couldn't do it, so he tried his best to stop An Qinghui.
He really didn't care if An Qinghui wanted to touch Shi Xing, but Qi Chenyan was his only son, and An Qinghui couldn't touch him.
Qi Muci thought he had put a lot of thought into Qi Chenyan, but Qi Chenyan remained unmoved.
In the end, there was still a bit of indescribable bitterness. Qi Muci whispered: "Ayan, I know that I was too impulsive about the matter with your mother before. Including your marriage with Shi Xing, I was wrong at that time, and I have regretted it. I thought about it, I will not care anymore, as long as you like..."
"Father."
Qi Chenyan interrupted him, his eyes as cold as the moon.
"It's too late," he said.
Qi Muci's eyes suddenly darkened, and Qi Chenyan curled his lips: "From the moment grandma wanted to attack my mother, and even wanted to attack Xingxing, it was already too late."
Qi Muci's eyes flickered, but he still said with all his strength: "Your grandma was just confused for a moment..."
"What about you? What are you?"
Qi Chenyan sneered sarcastically: "You don't regret it, you are helpless. It's not that you won't care anymore, it's that you can't care, you can't do it, you don't have the chance to care."
Qi Chenyan looked at him straight in the eye: "If Xingxing stood in front of you right now, what would you do? Do you know?"
Seeing Qi Muci's expression change but he had nothing to say, the arc of Qi Chenyan's lips completely sank, and he said lightly: "Some words, just lie to others, don't lie to yourself."
"Father, take care of yourself."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and went into the banquet hall first.
Song Zhibo had also arrived a long time ago. When he saw Qi Chenyan, he came forward and said, "Third brother."
He leaned close to Qi Chenyan's ear and said, "The hotel is full of our people inside and out. All security issues have been checked. Except for our sweet mom, no guests are allowed to bring bodyguards in. Don't worry."
Qi Chenyan did not choose the hotel under the Qi family to hold the banquet, but chose the Song family.
In the Qi family's hotel, no matter how careful he was, it was inevitable that Qi Muci and An Qinghui's people would take advantage of the situation. On the contrary, in the Song family's hotel, it was safer.
"Ah."
Qi Chenyan nodded lightly, ignoring the different looks from the people around him, and walked straight to the corner of the sofa and sat down.
Before Lu Tian came, he didn't have the energy to meet guests.
He looked up at Qi Muci who came in after him and smiled sarcastically, saying that someone would go anyway.
He leaned back on the sofa with little energy, folded his arms and closed his eyes. He was very tired these days and now he just wanted to have a good rest.
Song Zhibo was sensible enough not to disturb him and sat next to him playing with his cell phone.
No matter how well the Qi family keeps these things secret, rumors are bound to come out. Now the whole of Kyoto probably knows that there is a power struggle within the Qi family, so many people came today. Everyone wants to see what is going on with the Qi family and why they are planning to hold a birthday party at this critical juncture?
Even people from the He family came.
He Sheng sat on the other side, squinting his eyes and looking at Qi Chenyan from afar.
Shi Xing has been too well protected in the imperial capital these days, so he can't find him, and his phone can't be reached.
Even An Ran has lost contact.
His father also kept telling him not to look for Shi Xing again and not to provoke Qi Chenyan again.
But he just couldn't calm down.
The most humiliation he had ever suffered in his life was inflicted by Qi Chenyan. Why should he endure it in silence?
There is also Time Star.
He even burned Shi Yue with his own hands to avenge her, and even ended up pursuing her on a dating show. What else could she be dissatisfied with?
Does she love Qi Chenyan so much?
It was obvious that she was just touched and felt guilty towards Qi Chenyan, and the person she loved should be him.
Yes, she just misunderstood him, and she would understand as long as he explained it clearly.
He Sheng was not convinced.
Losing to Qi Chenyan was the thing that made him most dissatisfied.
He lowered his eyes.
He just didn't believe that Shi Xing could hide in the Lu family forever!
The banquet hall was bustling with people coming and going.
No matter how reluctant Qi Muci was, the people who came were all well-known figures in Kyoto, and he really wanted to know what Qi Chenyan was trying to do, so he had no choice but to pretend to be nice to these people.
But his face looked very pale, and everyone could see that he was not in a good mood.
Looking at Qi Chenyan, who was dozing in the corner with his eyes closed and his face becoming even colder, everyone had an idea in their mind: this banquet today might be a Hongmen Banquet?
I just don’t know who will be hurt!
At about half past six, the banquet was about to officially begin. Just as the emcee came on stage to speak, Qi Muci saw An Qinghui entering the venue.
His expression changed slightly, and he stepped forward, "Mom, why are you here?"
Because of An Qinghui's arrival, the hall suddenly became quiet.
An Qinghui's face looked particularly ugly, almost pale and bloodless, but her eyes were very red.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell it’s not good.
Qi Muci also frowned: "What's wrong, are you not feeling well?"
An Qinghui didn't say anything. Her eyes moved around, looking for Qi Chenyan.
When she entered, Qi Chenyan slowly opened his eyes and looked at her.
When An Qinghui saw him, she gnashed her teeth in anger and was about to walk towards him. Almost at the same time, the emcee spoke, "Today is the sixty-sixth birthday of An Qinghui, the old lady of the Qi family..."
Following the emcee's words, the hall became even quieter.
An Qinghui also frowned and looked towards the stage. The emcee smiled and said a few polite words, then said, "We specially made a vlog, please watch it."
An Qinghui and Qi Muci both subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
But before I could stop it, a so-called vlog had already started playing on the huge projection screen.
The moment everyone saw the scene clearly, their eyes widened. The originally quiet scene seemed to have suddenly been turned on and became noisy.
Qi Muci's head also buzzed.
The video shows him kneeling outside the Lu family more than 20 years ago, begging Lu Tian to forgive him with tears in his eyes.
Qi Muci could almost hear the whispers coming from all around him, some of them were surprised and some were mocking.
The picture switched from blurry to clear, showing him kneeling at the Lu family not long ago.
And these images are accompanied by sound.
"You were the one who had the explosives on the mountain detonated in advance, right? What were you trying to do? Are you trying to warn them? You were the one who transferred the people from the hotel, weren't you? Qi Muci, I put so much thought into planning for you, do you know what you are doing?"
"If I had known you couldn't amount to anything, why would I have gone to so much trouble to send you to the Lu family and let you get close to Lu Tian!"
"Mom, stop talking."
"..."
The two voices echoed in the hall, and everyone could tell that they were the voices of An Qinghui and Qi Muci.
Although sometimes when wealthy families fight for power and profit, there will indeed be infighting.
But in the end, no one will put it out in the open.
What's more, Qi Muci has always been a man who dotes on and loves his wife. Who wouldn't envy the love between husband and wife in the Qi family?
However, now that it has been put on the table, everything is fake.
This person is so hypocritical that they are afraid of those who are equally hypocritical.
It seems that no one needs to compete for the title of Best Acting Actor this year.
It has to be Qi Muci!
An Qinghui's eyes were red as she yelled, "Turn it off! Turn it off!"
Qi Muci came back to his senses and looked at Qi Chenyan with a cold face, "This is what you want to do. Let your father lose face in front of everyone. What good will it do you?"
Qi Chenyan just stared at him for a few seconds, looked away, and said self-deprecatingly: "Am I not ashamed?"
Song Zhibo beside him opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
Isn't he ashamed?
Qi Chenyan closed his eyes.
Qi Muci's breathing became a little rapid, and he said sternly: "Turn off the video immediately."
The staff was also a little panicked, wondering whether to turn it off when a clear female voice came from the door, "Let's see who dares to turn it off?"
Everyone looked over, including Qi Muci.
The moment he saw it clearly, his eyes trembled slightly.
Lu Tian was wearing a red fishtail dress, with her long curly hair pulled aside, black eyes and red lips, and the red gem earrings on her earlobes were as bright as blood.
Qi Muci suddenly felt a little dazed.
He couldn't remember how many years it had been since Lu Tian last wore red.
But in fact, when she was a teenager, Lu Tian’s favorite color was red.
Because it is bold and beautiful enough.
But later, the girl he was familiar with only liked to wear white, and occasionally liked to wear black when she returned to the Lu family.
He thought that her preferences had changed as she got older.
just now……
Lu Tian crossed her arms and walked in with a haughty attitude. A smile curled the corners of her lips as she said slowly, "Why, you dare to do it but dare not let anyone know? Qi Muci, are you so cowardly?"
Qi Muci's throat rolled over, and he subconsciously walked towards her, "Tiantian, I didn't, please listen to my explanation..."
A loud slap interrupted his words and made the noisy hall quiet again.
Everyone watched the show with bated breath.
Lu Tian retracted her hand and sneered: "If you want to explain, you might as well go to the underground and explain to my father. I just don't know if you have the nerve to do it and dare to see him again!"
Qi Muci's pupils shrank fiercely, and his Adam's apple kept rolling. Before he could say anything, An Qinghui had already stepped forward, "Lu Tian, don't go too far. I have tolerated you in every way over the years..."
Lu Tian sighed and turned her head, then raised her hand again and slapped An Qinghui hard in the face again.
An Qinghui screamed and Qi Muci hurried to help her.
Lu Tian shook her palm that hurt, her red lips curled slightly: "You old woman, I've wanted to beat you for a long time!"
