Chapter 7

Jiang Mi’s heart skipped a beat and he froze in place.

What’s going on now?!

The tall figure of the man was already approaching. Qi Huaizhou lowered his eyes to stare at her and whispered, “Don’t you want to show me that you don’t want to compete with me?”

Jiang Mi nodded somewhat bewilderedly.

“Then cooperate with me.” The man’s hand passed through Jiang Mi’s arm and gently held her waist. She turned around.

Only then did Jiang Mi see that there was a bright and beautiful woman sitting opposite the sofa where Qi Huaizhou was originally sitting.

Ah, this face… Jiang Mi remembered that she was the recently popular female star Meng Huazi!

Are you bringing your eldest niece to chase stars?

But does the original owner like Meng Huazi?

Jiang Mi was thinking when he heard Qi Huaizhou’s low, laughing voice: “Let me introduce the girl I’m dating. You can just call her Mimi.”

Jiang Mi: “???”

It was obvious that Meng Huazi’s expression changed.

Jiang Mi’s head was buzzing as she was pulled over to sit next to Qi Huaizhou. She had a hundred thousand questions now, but she didn’t dare to ask!

After all, Qi Huaizhou’s call of “Mimi” just now confused her. Qi Huaizhou obviously asked her to act, but there are so many words in the Xinhua Dictionary, and he insisted on calling her “Mimi”. This was calling her by the original owner Xia Mi’s name.

Meng Huazi’s aggrieved voice trembled: “Hello, my name is Meng Huazi.”

The smile on Jiang Mi’s face was as stiff as if he had been injected with hyaluronic acid: “Hello.”

But the person next to him moved closer to Jiang Mi, close to Jiang Mi’s ice-sculpture body, and said with a smile: “Don’t be nervous, our relationship will be made public sooner or later.”

As he spoke, his fingertips gently stroked the back of Jiang Mi’s hand.

Jiang Mi screamed in her heart, what do you mean by public, I am your eldest niece!

She twitched under the table, but Qi Huaizhou didn’t let go.

Jiang Mi had no choice but to type a message to him with one hand: [Third Uncle, I must solemnly and seriously stop you from going further down the path of incest!!!]

Qi Huaizhou took a glance, sneered, calmly put away his phone, and took his hand, which was interlocked with Jiang Mi’s, from under the table to the table.

Jiang Mi: “…” Oh my god.

Meng Huazi’s eyes turned red with grievance: “Actually, you don’t have to be like this. Just send me a message and I’ll understand.”

Qi Huaizhou looked at the other person with a cold and distant look: “I don’t think you understand what sending information means.”

Meng Huazi mustered up the courage to look at Jiang Mi, and tightened her grip on the coffee cup. “When did you start?”

Jiang Mi: “…” How the hell would I know?

Qi Huaizhou remained calm and composed: “There’s no need to elaborate on this kind of private matter.”

Meng Huazi started to cry: “Do you hate me so much?”

Jiang Mi sighed, “Sister, his impatience with you is written all over his face, and you still ask?”

Qi Huaizhou said without beating around the bush: “I have never had much patience for people who don’t intend to become objects. Now that we’ve made our point clear, let’s go first.”

He pulled Jiang Mi up and left.

Jiang Mi didn’t dare to struggle.

I heard Meng Huazi sobbing behind me.

The two walked out of the western restaurant. Qi Huaizhou’s car was already parked at the door. Jiang Mi followed him into the back seat, and the man’s hand, which was tightly clasped around her, instantly let go.

Jiang Mi rubbed his hands: “Uncle San, who is your blind date?”

He didn’t evade the question: “My dad arranged it.”

Oh, this means business marriage.

Jiang Mi said stubbornly, “But if you use me as a shield, I might be exposed soon. After all, I am your niece, right?”

He glanced over and said, “Then I can say it was just a joke.”

After all, it was Qi Zhenting’s idea to marry him into the Meng family. Although Qi Huaizhou was reluctant, he didn’t want to make things too awkward. Mainly because they were all in the same circle, and most of the women around him, Meng Huazi, were known to him. His eldest niece had only been adopted for over three months and hadn’t made a public appearance yet, so she was the perfect match.

As for whether it is incest or not…haha, there has to be some kind of ethics to be incestuous.

Jiang Mi patted the car window: “I want to get off.”

“Why get off the bus?” Qi Huaizhou leaned back. “How can you leave your belongings behind?”

Jiang Mi: “…Uncle San, can you please stop acting?”

Qi Huaizhou smiled and said, “Okay, when you stop acting, I won’t act either.”

Jiang Mi: “…What did I act in?”

Qi Huaizhou laughed again: “Think for yourself.”

Before the car even reached the Linjiang branch, Su Rongbing’s message arrived: [What did you and Qi Huaizhou do when they went out?]

Haha, now Jiang Midi has to rush to the branch office to explain to Su Rongbing.

–

When Jiang Mi pushed open the door of the vice president’s office, Su Rongbing was sitting on the sofa drinking tea. Perhaps because the wound on her forehead had not healed yet, her face looked very bad.

To be honest, Su Rongbing is really hardworking. In order to compete for power with his brother-in-law, he dared not neglect his business even when he was injured.

As soon as Jiang Mi entered the room, he told the truth about what happened in the coffee shop.

Su Rongbing heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this: “I’ve heard that Dad is planning to match him up with Meng Huazi, but I didn’t expect it to be true. The Meng family still has some influence in the business world. If they really want to form a marriage, it will be very disadvantageous to me.” She looked at Jiang Mi approvingly, “You did a great job on this matter!”

After this analysis, Jiang Mi even felt that Qi Huaizhou was a little stupid.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have an extra helper?

And that Meng Huazi seemed to really like him.

“Okay, go back to the old house and accompany your grandfather.” Su Rongbing waved his hand.

Jiang Mi responded obediently.

–

Over the next few days, Qiyuan was miraculously calm for a while.

In the middle, Qi Huairou’s daughter Yun Weiyi came to the old house. Qi Huairou was 31 years old when she gave birth to her. The little girl is only 15 years old this year. She is at the age of youth and disobedience. She thinks about studying abroad every day to get rid of her parents’ control. Every time she comes to see Qi Zhenting, she pesters Qi Zhenting to persuade Qi Huairou, which makes Qi Huairou very helpless.

Jiang Mi didn’t have much friendship with the little girl, but she could see that the little girl didn’t like her cousin who had suddenly returned.

There were important meetings at the headquarters recently, so Qi Huaizhou had to fly to Ningcheng almost every day. However, because Qi Zhenting’s health was getting weaker, Qi Huaizhou would fly back to Linjiang to spend the night no matter how late it was.

Jiang Mi rarely saw Qi Huaizhou in Qiyuan these days, probably because he was too busy. Occasionally, when he saw Qi Huaizhou at Qi Zhenting’s bedside, he felt that his complexion was worse than Qi Zhenting’s.

That night, Jiang Mi had just come out of the misty thatched cottage and was walking towards his residence when he suddenly saw someone walking towards the rockery in front. It was probably Qi Huaizhou who had just returned.

Jiang Mi Ke had no intention of greeting this busy uncle. She quickened her pace and planned to leave as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned the corner, she heard a “bang” coming from the rockery.

The sound was like someone falling!

Jiang Mi took a few quick steps, then suddenly turned around and ran towards the rockery.

If Qi Huaizhou really tripped in the dark, then she must go over and help improve his favorability!

Qi Huaizhou’s forehead hit the rockery, and the severe pain brought him back to consciousness. At this moment, a beam of dazzling white light shot straight at him. Qi Huaizhou instinctively squinted his eyes, and heard someone exclaim “Third Uncle” in surprise.
