Qi Jinran glanced at the direction of the study room, and there was a hint of gloom in her eyes, "It's nothing, you don't have to worry, I just have some differences with my uncle."

"Well, it's fine. I just received a call from my grandfather, saying that he has arranged a box in Emgrand, and then we will bring my uncle and the others to eat together."

Wen Yuan was talking, and Lin Jiabin also came out of the study. He glanced at Qi Jinran, and there was a smell of hating iron for not turning into steel.

"Uncle, take a rest later, let's go have dinner, my parents and grandpa are here." Wen Yuan smiled and looked at Lin Jiabin.

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

Zhou Ke came over and whispered, "Uncle, otherwise... I'd better go back to my house."

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

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

Zhou Ke looked at Wen Yuan, a trace of something flashed across Qingli's face, and his black eyes drooped.

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

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

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

In fact, she saw 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 ten years old, his face was pale and gloomy, sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the people who came to express condolences without saying a word. The man now is no longer the weak and gloomy appearance she remembered, but has become so beautiful and noble that she hardly dares to look directly.

Originally, her uncle told her that she was unwilling, but her father owed a huge amount of gambling debts outside, and relatives had borrowed it. Now no one can help their family, only this distant uncle lend a helping hand, She decided to try it anyway. Now, after seeing the man's appearance, Zhou Ke's original nervousness has faded a lot, and there is even a secret expectation in his heart.

If she is with such a provocative man, even if she has no name or distinction, as long as she can ensure that the family is safe, she seems to be willing. She knows that her three views are not right, but her family is in a downturn, and she can't do anything if she is forced to this step.

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

"This is what my uncle asked me to give to you. It's a relic from my little aunt before her death. I guess I didn't see it when I was sorting it out before, so keep it."

When Qi Jinran heard his words, she stopped smoking and picked up the bracelet. In my impression, my mother seems to be particularly 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 looked at them for many years. He didn't expect that there was a bracelet left behind by his uncle.

"Excuse me." The coldness in Qi Jinran's eyes receded slightly.

"I'm going to trouble my cousin in the future." Zhou Ke knew what Lin Jiabin meant by asking her to send the bracelet, and the other party just wanted her to have a good relationship with the man.

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

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

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

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

Zhou Keqingxiu's face froze, looking at him in disbelief. The man's black eyes are very cold and extremely sharp, and it seems that he has clearly seen the deepest thoughts in her heart.

Zhou Ke twisted 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 raised her brows slightly, with a little doubt in her eyes, and looked at the girl with a scrutiny.

Could it be that he thought wrong, Zhou Ke didn't know Lin Jiabin's absurd thoughts? Maybe Zhou Ke just came back to visit relatives?

Qi Jinran thought of countless thoughts, and finally pulled the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, then you can go after the wedding."

As long as this woman doesn't do anything wrong, he won't touch her for the time being.

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

"Okay, I'll come right away."

The man put the bracelet into his arms, snuffed out the cigarette butts, threw the remaining cigarette butts into the ashtray, turned around and walked towards the suite.

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

Seeing the appearance of Lin Jiabin's family, Wen Yuan's parents were very enthusiastic. Only Grandpa Qi's expression was always indifferent. Although he was polite and respectful, he did not appear to be very enthusiastic.

"Xiaoyuan, you can see that Xiaoqi is about the same age as you, and his parents are taller than you. Sure enough, those who grew up abroad are different." Ye Xia couldn't help pulling Lin Qi and Wen Yuan to be taller than you.

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

"Xiaoqi and Xiaowei, what do you want to eat? Just order it." Wen Yuan handed the menu to the sister and brother of the Lin family.

"Brother Yuan, you can just order it. My sister and I can eat anything." Lynch fell in love with this cheerful and smiling little sister-in-law. Talk about anything.

Wen Yuan thought for a while, and 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's up to you whether you want dessert or not."

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

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

"Jiabin, 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 first few years, but not in the future. The labor cost abroad is too high, and there are various guilds and rights protection associations. Those workers are particularly difficult to deal with, lazy and unruly. Many similar companies have chosen to go to There are factories in Southeast Asia, and the cost is lower. Now that I am older, I don’t have the energy to manage the company.”

Lin Jiabin glanced at Qi Jinran, who was diagonally opposite, and pointed out, "When it comes to being able, I still have to praise my nephew. He is the CEO of a multinational group at a young age. He has a bright future."

Grandpa Qi smiled, "I heard that you want Xiao Qi to stay in China and study business management with Jin Ran?"

"Yes, that's what I think. Xiaoqi has also graduated from college, and he's tired of staying abroad for a long time. It's better to let him go back to China to exercise."

"Xiao Qi, do you want to follow Jin Ran?" Grandpa Qi looked at Lin Qi next to Wen Yuan.

Lin Qi looked tangled, stared at by a dozen pairs of eyes at the dinner table, and shook his head weakly under his father's compelling gaze.

"Grandpa, in fact, I have already found a job abroad, but the salary is not very high. But I quite 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 management is not It's for everyone."

Grandpa Qi's words just came to Lin Qi's heart, and he nodded quickly.

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

When Lin Jiabin heard his son's words, he was immediately unhappy, "What are you saying, 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 might even get the shares of the company. , it's not much better than being 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 Jin Ran's wedding, but he didn't expect that it was not the case at all.

He looked at Qi Jinran next to him, the man's face was slightly dark, and there seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in his black eyes. He felt as if something had grabbed his heart, and he couldn't help shaking Qi Jinran's hand under the table.

The man turned his head to glance 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 took the lead in picking up chopsticks.

"Hurry up and eat, and I will show you around in the afternoon. There is a forest park here, and the scenery is good."

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

In the evening, Wen Yuan and Qi Jinran sent the Lin family back to the hotel and went back 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'm just thinking about something."

"Is it about uncle?"

"Well, his impression of me when I was young is quite different." Qi Jinran felt that he probably 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.

"Jin Ran, don't be sad, I'm still by your side, and my aunt and Lin Qi and Lin Wei are pretty good people. My uncle is probably confused for a while, and I should figure it out after a while."

"He's confused?" Qi Jinran sneered. "He is better than anyone else. He dares to say those words at the dinner table. Why is Lynch following me? There will be company shares in the future. He is secretly coveting Qi's shares. It's hard to say it explicitly."

Wen Yuan didn't know what to say for a while. He thought that this kind of high-quality relatives could only be seen on TV. He didn't expect such people to exist in real life.

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

It was Lin Jiabin's call. 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 Jin Ran the phone! Xiao Ke has a stomachache. She seems to be going to the hospital. You ask Jin Ran to come over and take her to the hospital."

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

"Then how can it work? You let Jin Ran come over in person." Lin Jiabin took a tough attitude.

"But it's so late, and Jin Ran has been tired all day. It's the same for me to ask the doctor to go there, and it's very convenient."

Lin Jiabin's voice was full of anger, "Wen Yuan, why did you talk to your elders? You haven't had a wedding with Jin Ran yet, and you are talking to your uncle in such an indifferent attitude?"

"Or, you are so careful that you can't even let Jin Ran come to see her cousin?"

Hearing Lin Jiabin's questioning, Wen Yuan was confused, not even knowing what happened just now. The tone of his conversation with Lin Jiabin has always been very good, even if he makes suggestions, he is cautious. Why does my 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, breathed a sigh of relief and handed him the phone obediently.

"There is a dedicated butler in the presidential suite. If you feel uncomfortable, you can just find the butler. Zhou Ke looks good during the day, why is she suddenly upset? If she has been feeling unwell, I might as well send someone tomorrow. It might be better for her body to send her home."

"Hey, forget it, then I'll find a housekeeper." Lin Jiabin had no choice.

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 deceased mother, a trace of grief and helplessness flashed across his eyes.

If his mother was still alive, he wouldn't be so embarrassed. It's impossible to tear your face off with your uncle now, and you still have to maintain the politeness on the surface. After all, he is one of the few relatives left in this world.

But if you don't pay attention and let him be a demon here, it is estimated that his wedding will be disturbed by him.

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

"Isn't it? Your Qi family still has such top-notch relatives? Can you even say such absurd words?"

"I don't know how my uncle has become like this now. Maybe he's having a bad time abroad, and he wants to go back to China again."

"Then you called me to-"

"Aren't you well-connected? Well, you can help me find a man who is suitable for marriage, at the age of..."

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

"Jin Ran, what were you talking about with Yu Heng? Are you trying to help someone on a blind date?"

"Roughly the same."

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

"What do you say?"

Wen Yuan got in touch with the phone 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 puffed-up look and couldn't help rubbing his head twice.

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

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

Qi Jinran sneered, "Grandpa told me today that when my mother got married to Qi's family, most of the dowry she received was given to my uncle to let him start a business. My dad also supported him a lot, but I didn't expect my uncle to be good at it. The cards have been played so badly, and now it is estimated that I can’t get along in foreign countries, so I came back to China to find me.”

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

"Jin Ran, don't think about it for now, get a good night's sleep, we'll face it together tomorrow if anything happens."

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

The next day, when I 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 was timid and easy to handle. If she could give birth to a child, it would be easy to control. Who would have thought that Qi Jinran would not buy his account at all.

"Jin Ran, Xiao Ke has just returned to China, so it doesn't seem right for you to let her meet strangers..."

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, and Miss Zhou will definitely choose someone who is satisfied."

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 entangled in her heart. After a day, she actually realized that Qi Jinran didn't like her at all. And Wen Yuan has been taking good care of her for the past two days. If she stays here, she will only make Qi Jinran unhappy in the end.

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

"Okay." Wen Yuan patted her shoulder, ignoring 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 didn'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. Since her father owed gambling debts, her life has been involuntarily.

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

"Which one do you choose?"

Going on a blind date, it is estimated that those sons and brothers don't look down on her, and they think she is a joke. Zhou Ke blinked, made a decision in his heart, and looked at Qi Jinran.

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