Chapter 2044: Chapter 2042: Not Respectful Enough

But in the past, his actions disappointed his elder sister. Not only did he fail to help her, but he also became her burden. Now things have changed. He does his best to ensure his brothers and sisters have a good life together with him. He bought each of them a house, and when his niece got married, he gifted her with an expensive dowry.

So now he works very hard, and the company’s business is thriving. His ambition is getting bigger, wanting to make Lifeng Security Company the most well-known security company in Huaxia Country.

Gu Qiaoqiao is, of course, pleased to see this happening. Besides investing and setting some rules and regulations, she leaves the rest to Big Brother Xu.

This way, Big Brother Xu can be more relaxed in his work. However, every year Gu Qiaoqiao will go to Jinling City, hold an employee meeting to give benefits, and set the next year’s work plan. This time attending the wedding also completes this task.

Qin Xuan and the others knew little about Fang Liang’s matters, but they always supported their son, no matter what he did.

However, upon hearing that Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei would be taken away, Grandma Qin was the first to be uneasy. "It’s winter, and the journey is so far. The kids will suffer sitting in the car back and forth. I’ve been busy these days, just leave them with me. I haven’t seen these two children for a week now..."

Qin Yize spoke slowly, "Grandma, we will come back after staying in Jinling City for a few days."

Qin Xuan understood what these two meant and quickly said, "Let the children go out and see the world; it’s good. Our Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei are different from kids their age."

Shen Manru actually couldn’t bear it either, but thinking about the troubles at home these days, it’ll be fine once their family of four returns from Jinling City, and she’ll also be on winter vacation.

So she agreed, saying, "Then take the kids out for a spin. Besides, you two hardly have time to accompany the kids."

Grandma Qin glared angrily at the two people, "So I’m the one being the bad guy here."

Shen Manru quickly smiled, "Mom, that’s not what we mean. It’s just that the Qi Family will surely visit these days, and I don’t know how to handle these troubles. I haven’t had my winter vacation yet, so when their family of four comes back from Jinling City, we will be free."

Gu Qiaoqiao laughed, "Yes, Grandma, actually my parents don’t agree on taking the kids, but we really spend too little time with them. This time we’ll take the two children to see Jinling City and also visit the relatives there."

Since Gu Qiaoqiao said so, Grandma Qin glanced angrily at a few people but said nothing more. After thinking about it, she realized they were right. The couple indeed spends little time with their kids year-round. Although the end of the year is busy, it’s better than usual times. Taking the kids to Jinling City to have fun is not bad, so Grandma Qin decided not to insist further.

On the next morning, the cold sunlight once again shrouded this land.

As it’s now the twelfth lunar month, with the Spring Festival approaching, the entire Imperial Capital has become more bustling than usual.

After having breakfast, Qin Yize drove away with Gu Qiaoqiao.

Meanwhile, Qi Fangxiu, who had hurriedly arrived overnight, also got off the train. This time, Fifth Uncle Qi came back to the Imperial Capital with him.

From the moment he learned the truth, Qi Fangxiu hadn’t spoken to Fifth Uncle Qi during the journey.

Although he knew Fifth Uncle Qi was forced into it, such concealment still made him feel uncomfortable.

If it weren’t for Fifth Uncle Qi helping Grandpa deceive him, perhaps things wouldn’t have been so unmanageable.

In his bag, a jade ornament shaped like a little cat had already been cracked. His unease was growing bit by bit, and upon arriving at the Imperial Capital, it was all the more so.

What he had to face was truly unknown.

Hence, he didn’t escape feeling resentful towards Fifth Uncle Qi.

But he didn’t return to campus, as the university had already closed, with students all having gone home; only some staff stayed back to handle tasks. He stayed in Top Grade Beef Noodle Restaurant’s dormitory with other classmates.

But could he go back now?

He couldn’t return.

So, he had to temporarily go with Fifth Uncle Qi to Qi Family’s house in the Imperial Capital. It’s a courtyard house with a pleasant environment, near the education center with centralized heating, kept clean and tidy inside.

This house was initially bought for Qi Fangxiu, but he had never been here. Fifth Uncle Qi lived elsewhere but regularly sent people to clean.

They had already made calls before getting on the car, so everything was tidy, and there was an auntie cooking. However, even though everything was arranged perfectly, Qi Fangxiu’s heart remained uneasy.

Until he meets Qin Xiaoyu, his mind won’t be at peace.

Though today is Saturday, he knew Qin Xiaoyu’s parents went to work, leaving only Grandma at home, making it impossible for him to visit.

But he couldn’t go too late; going late would show no sincerity.

After dinner today, he planned to visit the Qin Family.

This time, he brought a lot of gifts, and he needed to buy more. Although it’s not just for compensation and apology, visiting elders for the first time requires manners.

He didn’t have the Qin Family’s phone number, even if he did, he wouldn’t dare call. If Xiaoyu answered, there were things truly impossible to say over the phone.

And it wouldn’t be respectful.

Though unsure whether they’d all be home, he had decided to appear at the gate of the Qin Family Old Residence every evening at seven-thirty sharp.

Actually, Fifth Uncle Qi had already inquired about everything, and he would send him there; however, Qi Fangxiu still kept his face cold, unwilling to speak to Fifth Uncle Qi.

Beside him, Fifth Uncle Qi spoke bitterly, "Xiuxiu, it’s truly not my fault. At that time, the old man forbade me multiple times from telling the truth. Plus, you brought the young lady back, I was quite happy, thinking the old man’s mood would only get better upon seeing her..."

Qi Fangxiu arranged the gifts for apology, his expression still indifferent.

Fifth Uncle Qi knew Qi Fangxiu, at times seeming like an innocent big kid, could be so stubborn that not even ten oxen would pull him back. If he chose not to speak, it seemed he truly wouldn’t pay attention immediately.

He could only say helplessly, "I’ll send you to the family’s gate tonight, and then I’ll wait outside."

Qi Fangxiu glanced coldly at Fifth Uncle Qi, finally speaking, but only said two words, "No need."
