Ch 329: if Line （11）

Qi Anhui returned home and began packing her luggage. Then, dragging two large suitcases, she got into the car and drove straight to the airport, but it was still nearly ten hours before her flight took off.

Qi Anhui hid in the VIP waiting room, feeling anxious and terrified, giving the impression that she had mental problems.

She didn’t know how she got through those few hours until the airport staff reminded her that she could board the plane. Only then did she realize that it was dawn outside.

Qi Anhui checked her luggage and followed the staff to board the plane with a sigh of relief, but she soon realized that something was wrong. This was the road leading away from the airport! Qi Anhui’s nerves tightened again. She looked around frantically and finally gritted her teeth and jumped out of the car.

The high heels landing made a “snap” sound, and the heel broke along with her ankle.

Qi Anhui’s face turned pale with pain. Coupled with a sleepless night of fear and anxiety, she finally couldn’t bear it anymore, rolled her eyes, and fainted.

In the end, Qi Anhui didn’t get away.

Just as Qi Anhui was being escorted back to the Qi Family, Gu Qingyin had just finished handing over that master with the Mystical Arts Association and was preparing to go home to rest.

Huo Yunjing said, “Go home and sleep. We’ll go to the Qi Family tonight.”

Gu Qingyin hummed in agreement, “Let’s eat first. I’m hungry.”

“What do you want to eat? I’ll have the kitchen prepare it.”

Gu Qingyin shook her head, “Let’s eat out. I want beef broth and paomo.”

Huo Yunjing paused with his hand holding his phone. Very naturally, he opened the app to see which beef restaurant was better.

The driver in front glanced back and said cautiously, “There’s a beef soup restaurant on Jianshe Road that tastes good and is close to here.”

Huo Yunjing moved his finger and turned off the screen, “Then let’s go to that one.”

The driver breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, “Okay, we’ll be there in ten minutes.”

The beef soup restaurant wasn’t big, but it looked bright and clean, and the aroma was very tempting. Gu Qingyin ate with great satisfaction. With her stomach full, she began to feel drowsy. Not long after getting into the car, she fell asleep leaning on Huo Yunjing.

Seeing this, the driver slowed down a little and drove more steadily. The music was also turned down a lot.

Huo Yunjing saw everything and said softly, “Thank you for your hard work. Your bonus will be doubled at the end of the month.”

Hearing this, the yawn that the driver was about to let out disappeared instantly, and he perked up, “Thank you, President Huo.”

This sleep lasted until the afternoon. Before Gu Qingyin opened her eyes, she subconsciously snuggled up to her side, but it was cold. Huo Yunjing had already gotten up.

Gu Qingyin woke up, got out of bed to wash up, then changed her clothes and went downstairs feeling refreshed.

The butler greeted her with a smile, “Madam, would you like to have a meal now?”

Gu Qingyin asked, “Where’s Huo Yunjing?”

Butler: “The family head is in the study.”

Gu Qingyin nodded, “Tell him to come down and eat together.”

The butler hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “Okay.”

Gu Qingyin went straight to the dining room. Before long, Huo Yunjing came down, followed by the butler with a look of admiration—love really has the magic to change a person. Even someone as powerful as the family head is no exception.

In the past, who would dare to disturb his work? He could use his eyes to poke holes in people, but today his attitude was very gentle, and without saying a word, he directly ended the meeting.

After the two finished eating, Huo Yunjing went upstairs to change into a suit, and Gu Qingyin also changed into a dark green cheongsam. The two took a car to the Qi Family.

At this time, the Qi Family was shrouded in gloom. The auntie and butler were given a day off, leaving only the four members of the Qi Family in the huge villa.

In the morning, Qi Anxu and Qi Anhui arrived home one after the other. The former vaguely remembered what happened last night, but because he had drunk too much, he thought it was a nightmare. It wasn’t until he witnessed Qi Anhui being escorted back that he felt like he was falling apart.

Qi Anhui was still unconscious, and her foot was still swollen.

Qi Anxu wanted to send her to the hospital, but the people blocking the door wouldn’t let them out. Helpless, he could only call the family doctor over first. Fortunately, Qi Anhui’s ankle was only sprained, and there was nothing wrong with the bones.

Qi Anxu breathed a sigh of relief and then remembered to notify his parents.

Qi Father nearly fainted on the spot in the conference room after hearing about his daughter’s series of actions. Qi Mother, who was on a shopping spree abroad, also felt her head buzzing and her limbs instantly went cold.

The two rushed home anxiously, and the first thing they saw was a group of bodyguards outside the villa who didn’t belong to their family. They were questioned by the bodyguards for a long time before they could go home. They were extremely angry and couldn’t help complaining when they saw Qi Anxu sitting on the sofa smoking.

“Are those people from the Huo Family? What do they want to do! Are they imprisoning us?” Qi Father said angrily, with his hands on his hips, “You call President Huo! Tell those people to go back! What does this look like!”

Qi Mother didn’t speak, but her expression showed that she agreed.

Qi Anxu scoffed, “Do you think I have much influence in front of Huo Yunjing? Those people outside are here to prevent Qi Anhui from escaping. If you have the ability, you can drive them away.”

Qi Father’s hands came down, and Qi Mother didn’t look away either.

After two seconds of silence, Qi Mother asked, “Where’s your sister? Let her come out and explain what happened.”

“She’s unconscious upstairs,” Qi Anxu said, “There’s no need to waste your energy. Huo Yunjing will definitely come over to deal with this later. Just wait.”

“Based on your understanding of Huo Yunjing, how do you think he will handle this situation?” Qi Father was a little anxious, “Will it affect the company?”

Qi Anxu forcefully put out the cigarette in his hand and looked up at his father with a blank expression, “Is the only thing in your eyes the company? Have you ever worried about what will happen to Qi Anhui?”

Qi Father choked, then became a little annoyed, “She brought it on herself! Why should I worry about her? Why didn’t she consider the family when she did it?” The more he spoke, the more he felt justified, and he pointed the finger at Qi Mother, “How did you watch over the child? How could she cause such a big mess in just a few days!”

Qi Mother widened her eyes in disbelief, pointed at herself and asked, “Are you blaming me now? Who encouraged Anhui to approach Huo Yunjing and pursue Huo Yunjing in the first place? Now that she hasn’t succeeded, it’s become our mother and daughter’s fault? Don’t you think you’re being heartless when you say that?!”

Qi Father said righteously, “I did tell Anhui to approach him. Back then, the man wasn’t married and the woman wasn’t married, so why couldn’t she try to develop a relationship? But I didn’t tell her to pester him! She’s made my Qi Family lose all face!”

“You!” Qi Mother’s chest heaved with anger, her vision went black, but she couldn’t say a word.

“Enough!” Qi Anxu said with a stern face, his eyes sweeping across his parents’ faces, “Now is not the time to blame each other and pursue responsibility. Let’s think about how to minimize the impact when Huo Yunjing comes.”

Qi Father sat down. Seeing this, Qi Mother also snorted coldly and sat down on the single sofa opposite him.

“If it really doesn’t work…” Qi Father’s eyes darkened slightly, “We can only completely abandon Anhui, and offer corresponding compensation. As long as Huo Yunjing doesn’t continue to pursue the matter, we can give it all.”

Qi Anxu sneered. For the first time, he realized that his father, who was omnipotent in his heart, also had such a naive side.
