Chapter 137: The Villagers’ Shock 7
‘How did my little sister get to know such a superior-looking man!’
Qi Qingzhu tamped down on all her doubts.
Jiang Yeqian had not been wearing a mask in the village. He felt soone watching him and raised his head.
Qi Qingzhu approached, “May I know who you are?”
“?” Jiang Yeqian looked at her without the slightest hint of surprise.
Qi Qingzhu bent down slightly. “I’m looking for Qi Qingyao.”
“Who are you?” Jiang Yeqian asked coldly.
“I’m Qi Qingzhu. Her elder sister.” Qi Qingzhu hurriedly introduced herself.
“Oh, she’s not around.” Jiang Yeqian had no favorable impression of her when he learned that she was one of the Qi family.
Qi Qingzhu asked quickly, “Where is she?”
Jiang Yeqian raised his gaze and replied in a languid tone, “What’s it got to do with you?”
Qi Qingzhu responded, “I have sothing important to discuss with her.”
“She has already broken ties with the Qi family,” Jiang Yeqian inford.
“About that, I… I really have sothing very important to discuss with her. Could you please find her and bring her to ?” Qi Qingzhu said sowhat anxiously.
Jiang Yeqian scrutinized the woman’s plain attire from head to toe, noting her clean cloth shoes with a black upper and white soles. “She’s not in the village,” he said.
“Then, where is she?” Qi Qingzhu pressed.
Before Jiang Yeqian could say anything, Madam Wu approached from afar. She grabbed onto Qi Qingzhu’s arm and asked, “Qi Qingzhu, you’ve finally co ho for once. But what are you doing here?”
“Mom, I have sothing…” Qi Qingzhu wanted to pull her mother’s arm away.
Sensing sothing amiss, Madam Wu imdiately dragged Qi Qingzhu. “You’re coming ho with now!”
Qi Qingzhu had always been a little of a pushover and in her mother’s presence, she could hardly disobey her. Not able to say anything, she had no choice but to follow Madam Wu ho. As soon as they entered the house, Madam Wu imdiately questioned Qi Qingzhu on the reason she returned ho and why she did not go back to the village imdiately.
Qi Qingzhu said nothing.
With a smile, Madam Guo said, “Don’t tell you were thinking of expressing goodwill toward Qi Qingyao and then asking her for money?” After all, Qi Qingzhu had not gotten a single penny the last ti the money had been split. Could she be jealous?
Qi Qingzhu only smiled.
She then asked, “Mom, my sister… when will she return?”
“How would we know? That little girl hadn’t shown up ever since she got the land,” said Madam Wu.
Qi Qingzhu stood there, stupefied. Could she have returned for naught then?
Madam Wu looked at her daughter’s face and suddenly thought of sothing. “Since you’re back, let us have a eting to discuss Eleventh Daugther,” said Madam Wu.
“Have a eting?” Qi Qingzhu did not understand.
Madam Wu replied, “We should solve this matter on our own if possible before the elder lady returns.”
“What matter?” asked Qin Qingzhu.
Madam Wu boldly replied, “About Qi Qingyao cutting all ties with us!”
Qi Qingzhu, “??”
Had their ties not already been severed? What else was there to discuss?
“Go and quickly gather everyone in the house,” Madam Wu urged Qi Qingzhu.
After all the people in the house had been called over, Madam Wu asked Madam Guo to prepare tea for everyone.
Everyone in the hall looked at Madam Wu with suspicious gazes, as if questioning what else was there to this matter still for them to discuss.
Madam Wu first took a sip of tea before speaking.
“You’re all here. We have to look into this matter about Eleventh Daughter more thoroughly today to see if we can still redy the situation.”
“Mom, her house is almost completed. I heard from the village head that the house will be five stories high in the future,” said Qi Yuanye enviously.
“It would be nice if we could also go and live in it,” ca Madam Tian’s soft voice.
