Actually, he was her superior. However, in front of Old Madam MO, Qi Jiangchi did not say that and called them colleagues.
Guan Suling nodded. “You wanted to know my name just now. I’ll tell you now. Okay, I’ll give the phone to my darling.”
Qi Jiangchi quickly said, “Okay, I wish you good health.”
Guan Suling smiled. “Everyone else says fancy things. You’re an honest person, kid, but I like to hear them.” With that, Guan Suling returned the phone to Li Xiwu. “Alright, Darling, continue answering the phone.”
“Okay.” Li Xiwu suppressed a smile and took the cell phone.
Guan Suling went to the other side and did not disturb Li Xiwu from answering the phone. Li Xiwu tilted her head and wedged the phone between her head and shoulder. She fiddled with the hyacinth in the vase with both hands. “President
Qi, it’s me.”
Qi Jiangchi don’t even dare to breathe loudly just now. “Your grandmother is the Old Madam of the MO family?”
Li Xiwu answered. “Yes.”
Qi Jiangchi clicked his tongue. “Li Xiwu, you’re unscrupulous.”
Li Xiwu asked, “Unscrupulous?”
“Isn’t that so?” Qi Jiangchi’s tone was filled with complaints. “I thought that President Pei was already your strong background. I didn’t expect your grandmother to still be the old princess of the MO family. You’re quite capable.”
Li Xiwu still couldn’t suppress the smile on her lips. “Does my identity and background mean that I have some skills?”
“Others’ identity and background might not be, but your identity and background must be!” Qi Jiangchi said firmly.
With that, Qi Jiangchi did not forget to tease Li Xiwu. “Your grandmother is an old princess. In that case, you’re a little princess. I, Qi Jiangchi, actually managed to get close to the royal family in my lifetime.”
Li Xiwu smiled and said, “That’s enough. The royal family was in the past. It’s modern society now.”
Qi Jiangchi said, “Yes, yes, yes, Little Princess.” Li Xiwu said, “You..
Qi Jiangchi said, “Long live, Little Princess.”
Li Xiwu: ‘
Forget it, she couldn’t be bothered to argue with him. After saying, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.” She took down her phone and Qi Jiangchi quickly called out to her, “Li Xiwu, wait. It’s serious! It’s serious! I haven’t said it yet.”
Li Xiwu asked, “What serious matter?”
Qi Jiangchi asked her, “You know about Qi Zishen’s arrest, right?”
Li Xiwu said, “Yes, I know.”
Qi Jiangchi hesitated for a few seconds before asking, “Currently, the police have announced that it was a car accident. Qi Zishen deliberately tried to kill someone. Do you know who the person he attempted to kill was?” Li Xiwu did not beat around the bush with Qi Jiangchi. “Me.”
The other end of the line went silent.
Li Xiwu’s tone was light. “I’m fine. Think about it. If I wasn’t fine, who would brag to you now?”
Qi Jiangchi took a deep breath. “Were you afraid at the time?”
“To be honest, a little.” Who wouldn’t be afraid when they were on the verge of death unless they saw through the mortal world?
Li Xiwu thought that she had not seen through the mortal world. She had Pei Jingzhou’s love and had even found her family. She wanted to live happily and passionately forever.
Qi Jiangchi was in a low mood. “This person is really crazy.”
Li Xiwu said, “My words also agitated him at that time, but it’s fine now. Thank you for your concern, President Qi. It’s a small injury. I’ll get back to work soon. ”
Qi Jiangchi adjusted his tone. “Why are you in such a hurry!” After a pause, he asked, “Which hospital are you in? I’ll bring a fruit basket to see you. What flowers do you like? I’ll buy them according to your preferences.”
Li Xiwu was in a good mood. “I’m afraid I won’t be able to eat President Qi’s fruit basket. I’ll be discharged today.” Qi Jiangchi asked, “Are you sure?”
Li Xiwu said, “I’m sure.”
All right.
Qi Jiangchi sighed in his heart and reminded her to rest as much as possible before ending the happy call.
Li Xiwu was still in a good mood after the call. She put the phone down and took a closer look at the hyacinth in front of her. It had been fiddled with more delicately than before. Satisfied, she turned to look for her grandmother. When she turned around, she almost bumped into Pei Jingzhou. She looked up at him. “Fourth Brother, when did you come back?”
Pei Jingzhou said, “I’ve been back for a long time. You were on the phone and didn’t hear me approaching.”
Li Xiwu realized that she had been chatting too happily with President Qi just now. She had indeed not heard anything.
Pei Jingzhou leaned forward slightly. “I asked you, but you didn’t say anything.
When other men asked you, you said everything. Li Xiwu, my heart hurts.” Li Xiwu bit her lip. “I’m just afraid that you’ll blame yourself.’
Pei Jingzhou said, “Have you ever thought that I’ll find out sooner or later and blame myself?”
Li Xiwu fell silent and looked up at him obediently.
Pei Jingzhou pursed his lips. “You knew that I’ll fall for your tricks.”
Li Xiwu’s lips curled up very high as she replied, “Of course.”
Pei Jingzhou slowly lowered his head and said in a low and hoarse voice, “I’m sorry.”
Li Xiwu’s curved lips slowly pressed down. Just as Pei Jingzhou was about to say something, Li Xiwu raised her hand and gently tapped his lips with her fingertips. “Just like how you told me not to say thank you to you, can I also ask you not to apologize to me?”
Pei Jingzhou corrected her. “This is different.”
Li Xiwu stood her ground. “How is it different? You can ask that of me, but I can’t ask this of you?”
Pei Jingzhou said, “What a twisted logic.”
Li Xiwu retorted, “What you said is the twisted logic.”
Pei Jingzhou naturally could not beat Li Xiwu in a debate.
After winning the argument, Li Xiwu even specially said, “Everyone in this family has to listen to me. If you don’t, I’ll go to court to sue you for hiding the fact that you’re infertile before marriage.”
Pei Jingzhou:
“Who can’t have children?”
Guan Suling’s voice suddenly sounded. She also walked over.
Li Xiwu was shocked. Looking at her grandmother walking over, she quickly explained, “I was telling Fourth Brother not to be angry.”
“Do you really think Grandma is old and my ears are useless? I clearly heard you say that you can’t have children. Who can’t have children?” As she spoke, Guan Suling looked at Pei Jingzhou. “Kid, you’re the one who can’t have children, right?”
Pei Jingzhou’s expression was subtle. It was rare for him to speak late. “I…”
Li Xiwu interrupted Pei Jingzhou. “Grandma, you didn’t hear everything. I was discussing with Fourth Brother when it was suitable to have a child. Now, I’m already at the most suitable age to have a child. In a few years, there might be a risk of being at an advanced age and wasting the best childbearing age.”
Guan Suling said, “Nonsense!”
Li Xiwu:
Guan Suling walked up to Li Xiwu. “You’re only 25 years old. It’ll take at least ten years for an advanced mother to give birth. In the next seven or eight years, you can be yourself happily and enjoy life.”
At this point, Guan Suling smiled and said meaningfully, “Besides, feelings can’t withstand the grinding of time the most. Just because your relationship is good now doesn’t mean that your relationship will be stable in the future. It’s not that Grandma has to say these unpleasant words. Grandma is just saying something more realistic. After the seven-year itch, and your relationship will still be like this, then it won’t be too late to have a child..”
