Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, Qi Zhi’an hurriedly stepped forward to defuse the situation.
“Hey, everyone, take it easy! Let’s talk it out!”
He looked at Xia Xibei and Qiao Yanjue with a gentle attitude, “You’ve been here for so long. Sit down and have some water first.”
Then he smiled at the elder and said. “Uncle Jiang, don’t be anxious. Beibei has no bad intentions. You’re a generous elder, no need to get upset with children. Besides, we are not talking about these things today, right?”
As he had tried to calm everyone down, the elder could only shut up with reluctance.
However, he still gave Xia Xibei a fierce glare.
In all his life, this was the first time he had been contradicted like this!
If not for everyone’s presence, he would have taken action long ago!
“Okay, let’s sit down and talk properly.” Qi Zhi’an urged everyone, smiling at Xia Xibei, with a bit of a placating attitude.
Looking at Qi Zhi’an like this, Xia Xibei also did not refuse him and obediently sat down.
Qiao Yanjue followed her in silence, not saying a word, but determined.
He sat down right next to Xia Xibei and stayed still, as if he was not affected at all.
Qi Xin, who had been silent, finally noticed Qiao Yanjue.
Looking at Qiao Yanjue’s “docile” look, she sneered.
Even if he was good-looking, he was still a loser!
He was obviously a big man, but he had to rely on his girlfriend to show up for him. It was a shame!
Then she glanced at Xia Xibei again, her eyes subtly complicated.
Qiao Yanjue perceived Qi Xin’s gaze and did not change his expression.
When her gaze moved away, only then did he look over.
When he got a good look at Qi Xin’s appearance and expression, he lowered his eyes again.
After everyone sat down at the conference table, the old man then smiled and said, “Beibei, after identification, you are indeed our Qi family’s child.”
Xia Xibei raised her eyebrows and did not say anything.
“Since you are a child of our Qi family, of course you should come home. I heard that you are a senior in high school this year?”
“Yes.”
“That means you’re going to take the university entrance exam next semester?”
“Yes.”
“How about this? Why don’t you come back to study in the imperial capital? Don’t worry about the formalities, we will help you get it done.”
After all, she was a child of the Qi family. How could she not return to the Qi family?
Besides, she was so outstanding. If the other families found out and did something about it, they would regret it!
“No need,” Xia Xibei shook her head, “There’s still a semester left, there’s no need to bother.”
“You do not have to worry about this. Actually, the passing score will also be a little lower if you took the exam in the imperial capital!” The patriarch was very kind. “Your grades are quite good, right? After coming back here, you should be able to keep up easily.”
“Or not.” Xia Xibei was very determined. “It’s only one semester, I can come here by then. Besides, I’m a celebrity, so if I change schools, it’ll attract too much attention.”
That reminded everyone.
Right! She was a star, and a popular one at that!
A star like her would easily attract attention if she changed schools.
Moreover, to take exams in the imperial capital, one would have to change the residency permit, which would be troublesome.
If she suddenly transferred to the imperial capital for her exams, it would definitely cause a lot of problems.
Wouldn’t it draw a bunch of attention?
“Why are you trying to be a star? The entertainment industry is so dirty and messy!” Qi Zhiqiang spoke up with a face of disgust. “What’s the use of being an actor? What kind of money can you make?”
These words made Xia Xibei’s face darken again.
