Chapter 357 An Interesting Table Arrangement
Qi Huan noticed Duan Jinghan walking towards him. His eyes darkened, and then he turned to Grandpa Qi and said, "Grandpa, please go in first."
Old Master Qi recognized the Duan family boy who was walking towards them at a glance. He just glanced at him indifferently, said nothing, and let the butler help him slowly walk towards the Jiang family's gate.
Duan Jinghan walked up to Qi Huan and stopped. His face was terribly gloomy, revealing a hint of hostility.
"Qi Huan, I admit, I'm not as good as you right now." Duan Jinghan's voice carried a hint of resentment and bitterness. "But I will never give up on Jiang Youli! If you dare to treat her even the slightest bit badly, I will definitely take advantage of the situation and make her my woman again!"
Faced with Duan Jinghan's provocation, Qi Huan remained unusually calm. He slightly raised the corners of his mouth and said with a faint smile, "Then you probably won't have a chance."
Qi Huan's calmness only infuriated Duan Jinghan more. "What makes you say that? Can you guarantee you'll treat her well for the rest of your life?"
Qi Huan's smile remained unchanged, his eyes firm and composed. "I don't need to make any promises, because for me, losing her is equivalent to losing all the wealth I have now."
"What do you mean?" Duan Jinghan asked, puzzled.
Qi Huan explained, "I have the same idea as you. I plan to give her the most practical benefits as a birthday gift. However, you only gave me a portion of the shares, while I gave her my entire fortune."
Duan Jinghan was stunned. "Could it be that you...you promised that if you cheated on her and wronged her, all your assets would belong to her!"
Qi Huan smiled but remained silent.
"Qi Huan! How could you possibly do this!" Duan Jinghan couldn't believe that Qi Huan, the young master of the most prestigious family in Beijing, was such a person. Soon, he realized what was going on. "Oh, I see! You dared to make such a promise to Jiang Youli because it's a pie in the sky that can't be kept at all!"
"Because it's uncertain whether you will be the heir to the Qi family! If you don't become the heir, what wealth or fortune can a cripple like you have!"
"That's just empty promises! Well, you're too cunning! Jiang Youli won't get any benefits from following you!"
Duan Jinghan spoke with righteous indignation.
Qi Huan calmly smiled and said, "The agreement will specify that it will only take effect if I become the heir of the Qi family. If I fail to become the heir of the Qi family, my engagement with Xiao Li'er can also be cancelled."
Upon hearing this, Duan Jinghan's eyes lit up.
If Qi Huan really can't become the heir of the Qi family, then he will have a chance!
"Hmph, you think you're a man? Then I wish you never become the heir to the Qi family and that you'll continue to be a cripple in a wheelchair!" Duan Jinghan said, pushing the suitcase in his hand in front of Qi Huan. "These are gifts I gave to Jiang Youli before, but she didn't accept many of them. I also packed her birthday gift this year in this suitcase. Please give them to Jiang Youli for me."
After saying that, without waiting for Qi Huan's reply, Duan Jinghan turned around and got into his sports car.
With a loud "boom," the sports car sped away.
Supporting himself in his wheelchair, Cheng Jing watched the car drive away and said, "Young Master, is it really necessary for me to have someone beat him up for talking to you like that?"
Qi Huan smiled faintly, unconcerned about Duan Jinghan's rudeness earlier. "It doesn't matter. I am indeed a cripple now."
"What about these gifts?" Cheng Jing asked, looking at the suitcase Duan Jinghan had left behind.
Qi Huan said, "I didn't agree to help him get it."
He had barely finished speaking when a clear voice called out, "Brother Huan!"
Qi Huan looked up at the sound and saw a girl in a white down jacket running towards them in the distance. The girl had a red scarf around her neck, which looked particularly bright against the white snow.
Qi Huan waved to the girl and called out, "An'an, come here."
Hearing Qi Huan's call, Qi An'an quickened her pace and jogged to his side. She adjusted her scarf around her neck, then put her hands into the pockets of her down coat, looked at Qi Huan with a grin, and asked, "What's wrong, Brother Huan?"
Qi Huan pointed to the suitcase in front of her, "These are the gifts Duan Jinghan carelessly threw here. You can take them and dispose of them."
"For my cousin's wife?" Qi An'an asked.
Qi Huan nodded, "Yes, it's a gift that your cousin's wife didn't want before."
“Duan Jinghan actually returned the gift he didn’t want?! He’s as weird as ever! Don’t worry, cousin, I’ll take care of this trash!” Qi An’an said as she dragged the suitcase back to the trunk of her car and put it away.
After putting it away, she turned back and followed Qi Huan into the Jiang family home.
"Young Master Qi, Miss Qi An'an, please come in." The butler of the East District villa took the invitations from Qi Huan and Qi An'an, glanced at them symbolically, and then returned them to them.
Qi An'an followed Qi Huan through the meticulously decorated courtyard and walked all the way to the villa in the East District.
This birthday party was a little different from the last welcome party.
The last welcome banquet was held in the center of a special banquet hall, but this time it was held directly in the living room of the villa in the East District.
Last time it was mainly a self-service model, but this time it was a table-based model. There were far fewer people in the venue than last time, with a total of five tables occupied.
The birthday party also featured a professional music team performing live, with beautiful and melodious music filling the room with joy.
"Grandpa's over there!" Qi An'an exclaimed excitedly, pointing to Grandpa Qi sitting at the same table as Grandpa Jiang, her face beaming. However, when her gaze swept over the others at the table, she suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, Jiang Zhao and his family are at the same table as Grandpa too!"
At the table where Old Master Qi was, besides himself, sat Jiang Yangxu, Jiang Xing, Jiang Zhao and his son Jiang Li.
In addition, Zhou Zerui was also sitting at this table.
Qi Huan gazed at the arrangement of the people at the table, a slight smile playing on his lips. He was quite interested in this arrangement, so he said, "Let's go."
"Okay!" Qi An'an replied cheerfully, and then walked towards the table.
Qi Huan sat down in the empty seat next to Old Master Qi, and Qi An'an sat down next to Qi Huan.
After taking her seat, Qi An'an glanced around at everyone at the table, her gaze finally settling on Zhou Zerui.
Zhou Zerui also noticed Qi An'an's gaze and looked at her.
Qi An'an guiltily looked away and turned to ask softly, "Brother Huan, isn't this Zhou Zerui, the celebrity in the entertainment industry? What's he doing here? Are he and my cousin's wife so close?"
Qi Huan said, "Well, after all, your cousin's wife is his mentor, and he wanted to come and give her his blessings."
Qi An'an said "Oh," but couldn't help but steal a glance at Zhou Zerui.
It must be said that Zhou Zerui is indeed quite good-looking.
She actually thought she was on par with Huan Ge!
As she watched, Qi An'an suddenly felt that something was wrong...
