Chapter 768: Your Uncle Is Not a Good Person
Because of Fourth Brother Qi’s injury, the Qi family could only send him to the hospital immediately. Qi Zhenbai was about to go, but Grandpa didn’t let him. Instead, he told him to accompany his wife; they could go take a look tomorrow.
Qi Zhenbai didn’t have a good impression of his fourth uncle, so he agreed readily. “Alright, Grandpa!”
Before Grandpa Qi left, he patted Chi Shuyan’s shoulder and specially consoled her. “Zhenbai’s wife, don’t think too much about what Zhenbai’s fourth uncle said tonight. I acknowledge only you as Zhenbai’s wife!”
With that, the Qi family patriarch turned around and left.
Chi Shuyan’s secret thrill just now faded a little. After all, the fourth son of the Qi family was Grandpa Qi’s biological son. Looking at the old man’s pale face just now, she felt a little guilty and ashamed. However, when she thought of how the fourth son of the Qi family had caused her man to die early in her previous life, her guilt disappeared.
She made up her mind to investigate the Celestial Master whom the man had colluded with. She would deal with that Celestial Master first. As for Fourth Uncle Qi, if he dared to do anything to harm her man, she still wouldn’t let him off. Sometimes, if she really wanted to kill someone, she didn’t have to do it herself!
Qi Zhenbai felt that his wife was unusually quiet tonight. Thinking of his fourth uncle’s words earlier, Qi Zhenbai subconsciously said, “Just take it that you never heard what my fourth uncle’s family said. You don’t have to worry about those people!”
Who knew if it was because she had been recalling how this man had died early in her previous life, but Chi Shuyan was feeling a little anxious at that moment and subconsciously wanted to hold the man a little tighter. Seeing his wife take the initiative to hold his hand, Qi Zhenbai was amused. His big hand wrapped firmly around his wife’s hand and he put it in his pocket.
After they ate, Qi Zhenbai took his wife for a walk in the backyard, her hand still in his pocket.
“By the way, where are your cousins tonight? And Haozi, that rascal?” Chi Shuyan was a little curious.
Qi Zhenbai curled his lip and said, “Your man is beside you, and you’re still thinking about those kids?”
It was rare for the man to tease her. Moonlight shone through the trees and scattered on the ground. For a moment, the atmosphere was very good.
Occasionally, the moonlight lit up the man’s figure. Because he was backlit, she couldn’t see his face clearly, but she felt unusually at peace.
“By the way, why not tell me about your youngest uncle?”
Chi Shuyan looked up at the man in front of her, who pursed his lips and frowned. She thought that she had mentioned something she shouldn’t have, but the man then said indifferently, “There’s nothing to say.” Qi Zhenbai paused and thought of his calculative fourth uncle. Worried that his fourth uncle would set his sights on his wife, he said, “My grandfather has always been in favor of me inheriting the Qi family, but my fourth uncle isn’t convinced. He thinks that my grandfather is too biased, and he’s also ambitious. In short, if my fourth uncle finds you in the future, you don’t have to pay attention to him or treat him like an elder!”
Chi Shuyan nodded. She didn’t know if it was because this man had died early in her previous life, but she cared too much about him now. At the thought of someone hiding in the background to harm the man next to her, she felt both uneasy and murderous. She couldn’t help but remind him, “You also know that I’m a Celestial Master. I just saw that your fourth uncle isn’t a good person; he’s a petty person who will seek revenge for the smallest grievance. You should stay away from him in the future. No, I think you should be more vigilant in the future. Also, check who he’s usually in contact with. What if he colludes with an outsider to try and harm you?”
Chi Shuyan was immersed in her own thoughts for a moment and didn’t notice the man’s increasingly hot gaze on her. When their eyes met, the man’s expression was profound, but Chi Shuyan saw traces of laughter and delight in his eyes. Suddenly, she was turned around and pressed against a nearby tree. “Are you that concerned about me?”
