Chapter 652: Chapter 722, Visiting Liu Duanguang
However, Xia Ziqi quickly shook off her heavy mood, and her haggardness disappeared. Looking at the brothers Xia Zijun and Xia Zihe, she calmly asked, “Why have both of you co?”
A smile appeared on Xia Zijun’s face as he said, “I ca to see how you were.”
Xia Zihe sneered, “Xia Ziqi, we co as we please. This isn’t your territory. What can you do to us?”
Xia Ziqi gave him a complicated look and said, “Zihe, I am your sister.”
“Are you reminding to show you so respect? Humph, ever since you ran away with soone else, I haven’t wanted to respect you.” Xia Zihe didn’t care about Xia Ziqi’s feelings, and his words were extrely unpleasant.
Xia Ziqi, feeling helpless, turned to Xia Zijun.
“C’mon back for a visit. Uncle and Aunt miss you a lot,” Xia Zijun said.
“ssage delivered. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. Staying with this bastard won’t end well for you,” said Xia Zihe coldly.
So-called familial affection seed to an nothing at that mont.
Xia Ziqi pursed her lips, said nothing, took Fang Yi’s arm, and imdiately left.
Fang Yi did not stop her; he knew Xia Ziqi was angry. Although he had grievances with the brothers Xia Zijun, there was no need to embarrass Xia Ziqi for a mont’s satisfaction.
Watching Fang Yi and Xia Ziqi walk away, a sneer remained on Xia Zihe’s face. “That slut, definitely having an affair with Fang Yi, truly shaless.”
“Let’s go.” Xia Zijun didn’t respond further, speaking only those two words before getting into the Land Rover.
Xia Zihe harshly glanced at Fang Yi’s retreating figure before getting into the car.
The street was bustling, the landscape thriving with shops everywhere, but Xia Ziqi was in a very bad mood.
Walking up to a large tree on the street, Xia Ziqi turned away from Fang Yi and raised her hand to wipe her tears.
Fang Yi still didn’t stop her, just staying by her side, quietly present, but letting Xia Ziqi know that she had soone with her in her ti of sorrow.
Xia Ziqi didn’t burst into loud crying; she was no longer a little girl, and during this period, she had gradually beco stronger, at most secretly wiping away tears.
When Xia Ziqi turned back around, Fang Yi was still standing beside her, smiling at her.
For so reason, seeing the smile on Fang Yi’s face, all her grievances seed to vanish, and Xia Ziqi couldn’t help but feel much better.
“You’ve seen make a fool of myself,” said Xia Ziqi.
Disregarding the passersby, like any couple, Fang Yi naturally put his arm around Xia Ziqi’s shoulder.
Xia Ziqi suddenly tensed up. She and Fang Yi had never been so intimate in public before. Before Xia Ziqi could speak again, Fang Yi had already said, “You are my woman, and I am your man.”
Just those simple words instantly broke through Xia Ziqi’s emotional defenses.
A smile appeared on Xia Ziqi’s face, almost like turning tears into laughter. She coyly said, “You… you really know how to cheer soone up.”
Fang Yi chuckled, “I cheer you up during the day, and you cheer up at night. Isn’t that great?”
His words imdiately drew a playful scowl from Xia Ziqi, as her cheeks turned even redder.
Right there on the street, Fang Yi kept his arm around Xia Ziqi, intimate and inseparable.
Fang Yi didn’t ask why Xia Ziqi was so sad earlier, but Xia Ziqi couldn’t keep it inside anymore and told him about what had happened in the shop.
Xia Ziqi had indeed agreed on a price with the store owner, but before that, the owner had set a maximum price. Xia Ziqi’s visit to Tianjing was specifically to negotiate a lower price.
However, surprisingly, after talking to the owner, the man doubled the price, nearly matching the cost of a shop in the second ring of Tianjing.
After hearing this, Fang Yi suddenly realized that this was the challenge Xia Zijun had ntioned.
Seeing Fang Yi deep in thought, Xia Ziqi asked, “Have you figured out the reason?”
“Yes, it seems your two brothers are behind this trickery,” Fang Yi replied.
Xia Ziqi sighed softly and said, “I’ve always been good to them ever since we were kids; I didn’t expect this.”
Fang Yi said, “Alright, let’s not talk about that now. Let’s go back.”
Xia Ziqi shook her head, “No, I want to go ho for a visit.”
Fang Yi furrowed his brows slightly.
Xia Ziqi continued, “It’s okay, you don’t need to worry about . I’m not a three-year-old child. I just want to visit my parents since I haven’t seen them for many years. Now that I’m back in Tianjing, I can take this opportunity to see them.”
Fang Yi nodded and smiled, “If anyone at ho dares to bully you, don’t cry; I’m here.”
Xia Ziqi replied, “Alright, I get it. Don’t make out to be a crybaby.”
Later, Fang Yi accompanied Xia Ziqi to buy so items to take back ho and finally saw her off in a taxi. He then lit a cigarette and slowly walked back to the earlier store.
When Fang Yi returned, a buzz-cut man was just coming out, preparing to pull down the rolling door. Fang Yi walked up and slapped his hand on the door, startling the buzz-cut man.
“I’d like to have a talk with you,” Fang Yi said with a smile.
“Talk? I don’t know you; there’s nothing to talk about,” the buzz-cut man replied.
“Is that so? But I really do want to talk to you,” Fang Yi insisted.
The next mont, Fang Yi kicked the buzz-cut man in the buttocks, sending him flying into the shop. The man yelled out as Fang Yi swiftly entered the shop and pulled down the rolling door, leaving the buzz-cut man’s shouting useless.
Half an hour later, the rolling door opened, and Fang Yi erged, fresh and cheerful, holding a transfer contract for the shop.
Then Fang Yi returned to the hotel alone.
Without Xia Ziqi, Fang Yi felt bored, so he decided to find sothing to do.
He took a shower, changed his clothes, left the hotel, and casually bought a bottle of Baijiu at a supermarket as a token of goodwill before heading to a certain courtyard in Tianjing.
The old-style courtyard was guarded by two Dragon Guards, but they imdiately saluted Fang Yi when he arrived, making it clear he was a familiar figure here.
The owner of the place was soon alerted by Fang Yi’s arrival, and a young man ca out to welco him.
“Lin Jingtian?” Fang Yi raised an eyebrow.
“It’s .” Lin Jingtian stepped aside, making a welcoming gesture and said, “Elder Liu is already waiting for you inside.”
Fang Yi was slightly surprised to see Lin Jingtian here but soon rembered that Lin Jingtian was a trusted aide of Liu Duanguang.
Ignoring the complex look in Lin Jingtian’s eyes, Fang Yi walked directly into the backyard.
In the backyard, Liu Duanguang, seated in a wheelchair, saw Fang Yi and laughed heartily, “Kid, I’ve been longing for this day. I’m glad you finally ca.”
