Qi Jinran glanced in the direction of the study, and a gloomy look flashed across his eyes, "It's nothing, you don't have to worry, I just have some disagreements with my uncle."

"Well, as long as it's okay. I just received a call from grandpa, saying that he has arranged a box at Emgrand, and we will take uncle and the others to have dinner together."

While Wen Yuan was talking, Lin Jiabin also came out of the study, he glanced at Qi Jinran, and there was a taste of hating iron but not steel.

"Uncle, take a break later, let's go eat, my parents and grandpa are here." Wen Yuan looked at Lin Jiabin with a smile.

Lin Jiabin smoked a cigarette in the room, and hummed coldly.

Zhou Ke came over and whispered, "Uncle, how about...I'd better go back to my home."

"You haven't eaten yet, why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Lin Jiabin was full of irritability.

"Yes, Miss Zhou, you came all the way from abroad, take a good rest first, don't rush home." Wen Yuan looked at Zhou Ke with a smile.

Zhou Ke looked at Wen Yuan, something flickered across Qingli's face, and his black eyes drooped down.

Lin Jiabin was smoking a cigarette, and suddenly remembered something, took out a string of jade bracelets from his pocket, and handed it to Zhou Ke, "Xiao Ke, this is a relic of your little aunt, you take it to Jin Ran, speak smartly, Did you hear me."

Zhou Ke took the bracelet and hummed lightly.Qi Jinran was not in the room, she probably went to the corridor next to her, while Wen Yuan was talking to her cousins, she looked around and found a tall and handsome man smoking a cigarette at the end of the corridor.

The girl clutched the bracelet and walked up to the man nervously.

In fact, she met Qi Jinran once when she was very young, at the funeral of Qi Jinran's father and mother.At that time, the boy was only about ten years old, with a pale and gloomy face, sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the people who came to express their condolences without saying a word.The man now is no longer the weak and gloomy appearance in her memory, but has become so handsome and dignified that she hardly dares to look directly at him.

Originally, she didn't want her uncle to tell her about that incident, but her father owed a huge amount of gambling debt outside, and her relatives had borrowed it all. Now no one can help their family, only this distant uncle extended a helping hand, She decided to try everything.After seeing the man's face now, Zhou Ke's original nervousness faded a lot, and even a hint of secret expectation arose in his heart.

If she is with such an outstanding man, even if she has no name or distinction, she seems to be willing as long as the family has no worries about food and clothing.She knew that her three views were not correct, but her family was in trouble, and there was nothing she could do about being forced to this point.

"Cousin." She tried to show a smile, holding the bracelet in her slender hands, and handed it to Qi Jinran.

"My uncle asked me to give this to you. It's a relic of my aunt. I guess I didn't see it when I sorted it out. You should keep it."

Hearing his words, Qi Jinran stopped smoking and picked up the bracelet.In my impression, my mother seems to be very fond of jade bracelets, and my father once bought him a whole box of jadeite jewelry.Those clothes and jewelry were piled up in the utility room. He hadn't visited them for many years, and he didn't expect that there was a bracelet left behind by his uncle.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." The coldness in Qi Jinran's eyes receded slightly.

"It's me who will trouble my cousin in the future." Zhou Ke knew what Lin Jiabin meant by asking her to give the bracelet. The other party just hoped that she could have a good relationship with the man.

"Where does your family live?" Qi Jinran suddenly asked him.

Zhou Ke was overjoyed, thinking that Qi Jinran was interested in him.After all, he should have known what his uncle was thinking when he came out of the study.At that time, when she saw him furious, she thought that the man didn't like her.But looking at it now, things seem to be turning around.

"My family also lives in Wancheng, but it's close to the suburbs. My mother is an employee of a state-owned enterprise, and my father used to be an employee of a state-owned enterprise, but he was laid off later and got into the bad habit of gambling—"

Qi Jinran was not interested in her tragic life experience, and said coldly, "Are you short of money? How much do you want? I'll give it to you."

Zhou Ke's delicate face froze, and he looked at him in disbelief.The man's black eyes were cold and extremely sharp, as if he had seen clearly the deepest thoughts in her heart.

Zhou Ke wrung his fingers and lowered his head in shame.

"Cousin, you misunderstood. I didn't come to ask you for money. I just heard from my uncle that you were getting married, so I wanted to come to your wedding and join in the fun."

Qi Jinran frowned slightly, with some doubts in his eyes, he looked at the girl carefully.

Could it be that he was wrong, Zhou Ke didn't know about Lin Jiabin's ridiculous ideas?Maybe Zhou Ke just came back to visit relatives?

Qi Jinran had countless thoughts in his mind, and finally twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, then you can leave after attending the wedding."

As long as this woman doesn't mess around, he won't touch her for the time being.

"Jinran, it's time for us to eat at Dihao's." Wen Yuan's voice came from not far away.

"Okay, I'll come right away."

The man put the bracelet in his arms, stubbed out the cigarette butt, threw the remaining cigarette butt into the ashtray, turned and walked towards the suite.

When they arrived at Emgrand, Grandpa Qi and Wen Yuan's parents were waiting there.

Seeing the appearance of Lin Jiabin's family, Wen Yuan's parents were very enthusiastic. Only Grandpa Qi remained calm. Although he was polite, he didn't seem very enthusiastic.

"Xiaoyuan, you see that Xiaoqi is about the same age as you, and his parents are taller than you. Sure enough, it's different when you grow up abroad." Ye Xia couldn't help but pull Lin Qi and Wen Yuan to compare their heights.

"Mom, how old am I, why are you still pulling me to compare with others?" Wen Yuan was a little speechless.

"Xiao Qi Xiaowei, what do you want to eat? Order whatever you want." Wen Yuan handed the menu to the Lin family siblings.

"Brother Yuan, you can just order. My sister and I can eat anything." Lynch fell in love with this cheerful and smiling sister-in-law from the very beginning. The two are similar in age. We can talk about anything.

Wen Yuan thought for a while, then handed the menu to Zhou Ke who was sitting next to Lin Wei.

"Miss Zhou, what do you want to eat? We have ordered the main course, it depends on whether you want to eat dessert."

Zhou Ke smiled at him with a gentle smile, "I can eat anything."

Wen Yuan saw that they were very humble, so he didn't force it, and added some desserts and drinks.

"Jia Bin, how have you been abroad these past few years? Your company should be pretty good, right?" Grandpa Qi asked.

Lin Jiabin took a sip of tea and sighed melancholy.

"It was okay in the past few years, but it will not work in the future. The labor cost abroad is too high, and there are various trade unions and human rights associations. Those workers are particularly difficult, lazy and disobedient. Many similar companies have chosen to go to A factory has been built in Southeast Asia, and the cost is lower. Now that I am old, I don’t have much energy to take care of the company’s affairs.”

Lin Jiabin glanced at Qi Jinran who was across from him, and pointed out, "When it comes to being capable, I still have to praise my nephew. At such a young age, he is the CEO of a multinational corporation. He has a bright future."

Grandpa Qi smiled, "I heard that you want Xiaoqi to stay in China and learn business management from Jinran?"

"Yes, that's what I think. Xiao Qi has also graduated from university, and he's tired of staying abroad for a long time. Why don't we let him go back to China for some exercise."

"Xiaoqi, do you want to follow Jinran?" Grandpa Qi looked at Lin Qi beside Wen Yuan.

Lynch looked tangled, stared at by a dozen pairs of eyes on the dining table, and shook his head weakly under his father's persuasive gaze.

"Grandpa, in fact, I have already found a job abroad, but the salary is not very high. But I really like that job."

"Isn't it great to be able to do what you like?" Qi Donghui looked at him with a smile, "If you want to learn business management from Jinran, it will take a lot of energy and cost, and the road of management is not For everyone."

Grandpa Qi's words just hit Lin Qi's heart, so he nodded quickly.

"Grandpa, that's what I think. Please help me persuade my dad, he must let me go back to China."

Lin Jiabin was immediately upset when he heard his son's words, "What are you talking about, you little bastard? It's not for your own good to let you go back to China! You will follow your cousin in the future. If you do well, you may even get a share of the company , it’s no better than working as a social worker abroad.”

Wen Yuan never thought that there was another reason for his uncle and his family to return to China. He thought they came back specially to attend Jinran's wedding, but he didn't expect that it was not the case at all.

He looked at Qi Jinran beside him, the man's face was slightly gloomy, and there seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in his black eyes.He seemed to be caught in something, and couldn't help but shook Qi Jinran's hand under the table.

The man turned his head and glanced at him, and held his hand instead, as if to tell him not to worry.

"Okay, I'm eating now, so don't talk about work." When the dishes came, Grandpa Qi made a final decision and picked up the chopsticks first.

"Hurry up and eat. I'll show you around in the afternoon. There's a forest park here with a nice view."

Ye Xia and Wen Chengmin naturally agreed, and chatted about other topics at the same time, diverting Lin Jiabin's attention.

In the evening, Wen Yuan and Qi Jinran took the Lin family back to the hotel, and then returned to the villa.

"Qi Jinran, the day after tomorrow is our wedding, why do you seem unhappy?" Wen Yuan teased him.

"You look like I'm forcing you to get married."

Qi Jinran smiled helplessly, "Why do you think so? I was just thinking about something."

"Is it about uncle?"

"Well, he is quite different from the impression I had when I was a child." Qi Jinran felt that it was probably because he hadn't seen his uncle for too many years, and there were some deviations in his memory.Maybe the memories of being with my uncle in the past were all beautified by him unconsciously.

Now this selfish and hypocritical Lin Jiabin is his truest appearance.

Wen Yuan patted his shoulder.

"Jinran, don't be sad, I'm still by your side, and my aunt and Lin Qilinwei are pretty good people, uncle probably got confused for a while, and he should figure it out after a while."

"Is he confused?" Qi Jinran sneered. "He is smarter than anyone else, and he dares to say those things at the dinner table. Why does Lynch follow me, and he will have shares in the company in the future? He is secretly coveting Qi's shares, so it's hard to say it clearly."

Wen Yuan didn't know what to say for a while, he thought that this kind of super relative could only be seen on TV, but he didn't expect such a person to exist in real life.

The two talked for a while.Wen Yuan was about to wash up when Qi Jinran's cell phone rang suddenly.

It was Lin Jiabin calling.Wen Yuan saw Qi Jinran taking a shower in the bathroom, so he answered the phone for him.

"Uncle, I'm Wen Yuan, do you have anything to do with Jin Ran?"

"Why are you answering the phone? Hurry up and give the phone to Jinran! Xiaoke has a stomach upset and seems to be going to the hospital to have a look. You ask Jinran to come over and take her to the hospital."

Wen Yuan frowned, and said worriedly, "If Ms. Zhou is not feeling well, I'll call a family doctor for her, and just let the doctor go to the hotel."

"Then how can it work, you ask Jinran to come here in person." Lin Jiabin's attitude was tough.

"But it's so late, and Jinran was tired all day. It's the same if I let the doctor go, and it's also very convenient."

There was anger in Lin Jiabin's voice, "Wen Yuan, why did you talk to your elders? You haven't held a wedding with Jinran yet, so you just have such an indifferent attitude when talking to uncle?"

"Or, are you so narrow-minded that you can't let Jinran come and see your cousin?"

Hearing Lin Jiabin's questioning, Wen Yuan was stunned and didn't even know what happened just now.He has always spoken to Lin Jiabin in a very good tone, and he is cautious even when making suggestions. Why does uncle always feel that he is targeting him?

"Give me your phone." Qi Jinran came out of the bathroom at some point.

Wen Yuan, who didn't know how to explain to Lin Jiabin, heaved a sigh of relief, and handed him the phone obediently.

"There is an exclusive butler in the presidential suite. If you feel uncomfortable, you can just ask the butler. Isn't Zhou Ke in good spirits during the day, why does he suddenly have a stomachache? If she has been feeling unwell, why don't I send someone tomorrow It might be better for her health to send her home."

"Hey, forget it, I'll find the housekeeper." Lin Jiabin was in the same boat.

After hanging up the phone, Qi Jinran sat on the head of the bed with a gloomy expression.

He took out the bracelet in the drawer and looked at it. Thinking of his dead mother, a trace of grief and helplessness flashed across his eyes.

If his mother was still alive, he wouldn't be so embarrassed.It is impossible to break the skin with my uncle now, and the superficial politeness still needs to be maintained, after all, he is the only few relatives left in this world.

But if he didn't care about it and let him act like a demon here, he might disturb his wedding.

After thinking about it, Qi Jinran called Yu Heng.Hearing the cause and effect, the other party smiled unkindly.

"No way, does your Qi family still have such top-notch relatives? Can you even say such absurd things?"

"I don't know why my uncle is like this now. Maybe he's not living comfortably abroad and wants to go back to China again."

"Then you called me to—"

"Don't you have a wide range of contacts? How about it, help me find a man of marriageable age at..."

When Qi Jinran hung up the phone, Wen Yuan looked at him curiously.

"Jinran, what were you and Yu Heng talking about just now? Are you going to help someone on a blind date?"

"more or less."

Wen Yuan wiped his wet hair with a towel, question marks all over his head, "Who are you going to help on a blind date?"

"What do you say?"

Wen Yuan got in touch with the call from Lin Jiabin just now, and instantly understood everything.Only now did he know that Lin Jiabin actually wanted to match Qi Jinran and Zhou Ke, but Qi Jinran had already obtained a certificate from him, how could Lin Jiabin do such a thing?

"Angry?" Qi Jinran looked at Wen Yuan's angry look, and couldn't help rubbing his head twice.

"Don't worry, I won't let you be wronged."

"Your uncle... is too rotten..." Wen Yuan didn't know how to describe Lin Jiabin.

Qi Jinran sneered, "Grandpa told me today that when my mother married into the Qi family, most of the betrothal gifts she received were given to my uncle for him to start a business. My dad also supported him a lot. I didn't expect my uncle to be good at it. He played badly at cards, and now he probably couldn't survive abroad, so he came back to China to find me."

"Is there such a thing?" Wen Yuan was so angry that he clenched his fist unconsciously.

"Grandpa never told me, because he was afraid that I would feel uncomfortable."

Wen Yuan suddenly understood why when Grandpa Qi saw Lin Jiabin when they were eating together at noon, his expression was not warm, and he even seemed a little distant.

He hugged Qi Jinran and rubbed his head on his shoulder.

"Jinran, don't think about it for now, get a good night's sleep, we'll face it tomorrow if there's anything wrong."

"Okay." Qi Jinran touched his face with warmth in his eyes.

The next day, when he heard that Qi Jinran and Wen Yuan were going to take Zhou Ke to meet some young talents, Lin Jiabin's face turned green.He specially brought Zhou Ke back because this distant niece has a cowardly personality and is easy to control. If she can give birth to a child by then, she will be easy to control.Who would have thought that Qi Jinran would not buy his account at all.

"Jinran, Xiao Ke has just returned to China, and you let her meet strangers, it doesn't seem very good..."

Wen Yuan smiled, "Uncle, that's not what you said. How can Jin Ran's friends be called strangers, and their conditions are very good, Miss Zhou will definitely choose someone she is satisfied with."

Zhou Ke lowered his head, not daring to say a word in front of the three of them.

"Miss Zhou, do you want to stay here, or go out with us?" Wen Yuan stared at Zhou Ke with a smile in his black eyes.

"I..." Zhou Ke was very conflicted in her heart. After a day, she actually realized that Qi Jinran didn't like her at all.And Wen Yuan has been taking care of her for the past two days, if she stays here with a stern face, I'm afraid it will only make Qi Jinran unhappy in the end.

"I'll go with you." She made up her mind and clenched her palms tightly.

"Okay." Wen Yuan patted her on the shoulder, ignored Lin Jiabin's darkened face, and helped her into the car with a smile.

Fifteen minutes later, the black Maybach stopped in front of a remote green space.

"Cousin, why don't you leave?" Zhou Ke was puzzled.

"Do you really want to go on a blind date?" Qi Jinran looked at her coldly.

Zhou Ke bit his lower lip, not knowing what to say.Ever since her father owed gambling debts, her life was involuntary.

"If you don't want to go, there is another choice. I'll give you a sum of money. You leave here, don't contact my uncle, and don't get involved in anything here, understand?"

"Which one do you choose?"

Going on a blind date, I guess those sons and sisters don't like her, they probably take her as a joke.Zhou Ke blinked his eyelashes, made up his mind, and looked at Qi Jinran.

"Mr. Qi, I choose to take the money, I hope you can help me."
