Waiting for you at the place where you are reborn

When they took the elevator to the sixth floor, Qi Xiangtian asked her, "What do you want to eat?"

Song Qiaoran glanced at him and said, "If you have no objection, I'll take you to eat. I've been in Xijing for a few months."

Qi Xiangtian did not comment and followed her into a Chinese restaurant.

She took off her coat and put it on the back of the chair, picked up the menu and ordered from the waiter very familiarly. Qi Xiangtian picked up the menu and looked at it casually. It turned out to be a Hunan restaurant.

The dishes were quickly served, including stir-fried pork, fish head with chopped pepper, spicy chicken, cold lotus stems, and a loofah and pork soup.

Qi Xiangtian handed the bank card in his hand to the waiter and said, "Pay the bill first."

Song Qiaoran glanced at him, raised his eyebrows, smiled, and said, "No one is competing with you to pay."

The dishes looked great and Qi Xiangtian suddenly felt hungry as he had only had a simple airplane meal at noon the whole day.

Song Qiaoran served him the meal and handed it to him, saying, "I remember when you were in the United States, you made your own stir-fried pork and loofah soup."

"Thank you." Qi Xiangtian started eating without any hesitation.

Song Qiaoran sat opposite him and watched him, stirring the food with her chopsticks but never moving her mouth. Seeing that he was satisfied with the food, she said, "Do you know Yao Hong? Your father - seems to have offended Yao Hong."

Qi Xiangtian raised his head suddenly, "Yao Hong?" Of course he knew that Qi Jinye had held Song Qiaoran hostage in order to help him get the land.

"From what I know, Yao Hong used your father's name to do many illegal things, such as opening casinos, money houses, and bank loans. Now there seems to be some trouble. It is said that the police are investigating. Yao Hong is completely out of the matter and wants to drag your father out to take the blame. So, he wants to escape Yao Hong's control."

Qi Xiangtian looked at Song Qiaoran. She actually knew so many unknown things about his father.

"So, he wants financial support from your father?" Qi Xiangtian asked.

"Yes, he wants to sell all of it and cash out. Only my dad has the ability to help him cash out immediately."

After listening to Song Qiaoran's story, Qi Xiangtian had a general understanding of Qi Jinye's current situation. Although he was shocked, he thought that if selling the store could solve all the problems and completely withdraw from the right and wrong, it might not be a bad thing.

"How do you know so much?" Qi Xiangtian asked her.

"My dad told me." Song Qiaoran said frankly, "Of course, your dad also told me something."

"So—your dad will help him?"

Song Qiaoran paused, then smiled obscurely and said, "I don't know."

Qi Xiangtian looked at Song Qiaoran, and her expression gave him the answer. As long as Song Qiaoran spoke up for Qi Jinye, Song Siyao would help him for Song Qiaoran. In this way, Qi Jinye would owe Song Siyao and Song Qiaoran a big favor. Although this matter seemed to have nothing to do with Qi Xiangtian, if Qi Xiangtian was not Qi Jinye's son, how could Song Qiaoran help Qi Jinye for no reason?

The cell phone rang. It was Wu Linxi. He saw the time was 7:05 in the evening. He hadn't contacted her all day.

Qi Xiangtian remembered the misunderstanding that occurred when he answered the phone at home last time, so he hung up the phone and sent a message: "I have something to do now, I will get back to you later."

Song Qiaoran looked at Qi Xiangtian silently, her slender fingers moving back and forth across the table, the lavender nail polish emitting little lights.

Qi Xiangtian cleared his throat and said to her: "Actually, you don't have to care about my dad. If he needs anything from Mr. Song, please ask him to communicate with him directly. You don't have to put yourself in a difficult position to fulfill his request."

"Why are you so cold to your father? In fact, he loves you very much, but he is not good at expressing it."

"I have my own opinions and my father has his own persistence," said Qi Xiangtian.

"You are so smart, you should know why my father asked you to come to Xijing." Song Qiaoran said.
