The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 50 The Eve of the Banquet

Qi Tianhu was overjoyed to hear this.

Although Old Xu's words sounded nonchalant, the signal they conveyed was extraordinary.

It proved that Old Xu was very satisfied with Chen Xiao's medical skills.

"Yes, Old Xu!"

Qi Tianhu quickly took out a gold-lettered invitation and handed it to Chen Xiao.

He smiled, "Congratulations, Brother Chen!"

Chen Xiao expressionlessly took the invitation, inwardly unimpressed.

Old Xu had eaten and drunk his fill, and his leg injury, which had plagued him for many years, had been cured by Chen Xiao. He was in a great mood.

At this moment, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "What other entertainment is there?"

Qi Tianhu understood and immediately clapped his hands a few times.

Next, a group of beautiful women walked in one after another.

This group of women were all beautiful and enchanting.

There were all types, from plump to slender.

When Old Xu saw this group of women, a smile appeared on his face that hadn't been there before.

He went forward to look and touch, almost wanting to kiss them.

Seeing this scene, Qi Qingfei blushed with shame and lowered her head, spitting softly, "Bah, you old lecher!"

Qi Tianhu instructed, "Dajun, arrange for two beauties to serve Old Xu and help him rest!"

Old Xu waved his big hand, "Two aren't enough? I want them all!"

After saying that, he laughed heartily!

Old Xu swaggered away, embracing the beauties.

Chen Xiao was unhappy, but he didn't say anything.

Qi Tianhu didn't notice Chen Xiao's displeasure at all and even said to Chen Xiao,

"Brother Chen, you must attend tomorrow's banquet. To be appreciated by Xu Laogui is definitely a great opportunity!"

Chen Xiao sneered and suddenly said goodbye, "I've seen the patient. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

After saying that, he left the table directly.

Qi Tianhu's expression froze slightly, but he didn't stop him.

Only after Chen Xiao walked out the door did he smile bitterly and sigh,

"This Brother Chen is still too aloof!"

Qi Qingfei rolled her eyes at her father, "I think he's much better than all of you."

Qi Tianhu was slightly stunned, then smiled,

"Haha, Qingfei, I heard that you've been getting close to Chen Xiao recently. What? Are you already starting to complain about your old man on his behalf?"

Qi Qingfei stamped her foot, "Oh, Dad, what are you talking about? I'm not going to talk to you anymore!"

Qi Tianhu laughed heartily,

"This kid Chen Xiao is indeed good and a good match for you. It seems that I can't call him Brother Chen anymore!"

...

The next day, until after four in the afternoon,

Chen Xiao was still looking at property information on his phone, showing no signs of moving.

Qi Tianhu treated Xu Laogui like an ancestor, but Chen Xiao wouldn't.

What number one on the Gold List, what no opponent under the Heaven List… in Chen Xiao's eyes, it was completely worthless.

So he didn't plan to go to the evening banquet at all.

His mother had gone out, leaving only him and Li Ziqing at home.

This was obviously Liu Zhen deliberately creating an opportunity for the two of them to be alone.

Unfortunately, Chen Xiao wasted his mother's good intentions, only caring about looking at his phone and completely neglecting Li Ziqing.

As for Li Ziqing, she wasn't angry.

The dignified big internet celebrity with millions of fans, a small rich woman with assets of over 100 million, was actually doing housework for Chen Xiao.

"Chen Xiao, take off your clothes!"

Li Ziqing walked over and said very naturally.

"What are you going to do?"

Chen Xiao jumped up from the sofa as if facing a great enemy.

Li Ziqing rolled her eyes at him, "I saw you've been wearing these clothes for several days. I wanted to wash them for you. What are you thinking about?"

Chen Xiao finally understood, but at this moment, Li Ziqing had already come over and reached out to take off his pants.

"I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself!"

Li Ziqing was too unrestrained, scaring Chen Xiao to cover his waistband.

Li Ziqing glanced at him with a charming look, "Why are you being so polite with me? Really…"

Chen Xiao was speechless. Was this a matter of being polite or not?

Li Ziqing took Chen Xiao's dirty clothes to wash.

As Chen Xiao watched, a strange feeling arose in his heart.

It wouldn't be bad if this woman was his wife.

But the next second, Chen Xiao threw this thought out of his mind.

This woman was the famous Zhu Ye Qing (Green Bamboo Snake). No matter how you looked at it, she wasn't the first choice for a wife.

Just then, a phone call came in. It was Song Anran.

"Um, Chen Xiao, are you busy tonight? If you're not, can you accompany me to a banquet?"

When the phone was connected, Song Anran, who was always cheerful and generous, actually stuttered a bit today.

Chen Xiao asked her, "Could it be the banquet at Peninsula Winery?"

The Song Anran on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned for a moment, "How did you know? Are you going too?"

Chen Xiao said, "I heard about it, but I don't plan to go."

The other side was silent for a while, and then Song Anran actually started acting spoiled with Chen Xiao.

"Chen Xiao, just accompany me, okay? I really can't find anyone to go with me... you know, I'm so beautiful, and there are all kinds of people at the banquet. How can I do without someone protecting me?"

Chen Xiao: "..."

"Okay?"

Chen Xiao: "I'm afraid of you. Okay, I'll go with you."

"Yay!"

"Then I'll wait for you at the dock later. That's it, see you there!"

After Song Anran finished speaking, she quickly hung up the phone, as if afraid that Chen Xiao would go back on his word.

Chen Xiao smiled helplessly. He could never figure out Song Anran's temper.

But since he had promised her, he would go.

At this moment, Li Ziqing suddenly walked up to Chen Xiao with the invitation card.

"I just saw this in your clothes. Are you going to attend a banquet?"

Chen Xiao nodded, "Yes, I'm about to leave."

Li Ziqing frowned and said, "Chen Xiao, can you not go?"

Chen Xiao was puzzled, "Why? I already promised Director Song."

Li Ziqing's emotions were a bit low, "You really are doing it for her, but precisely because it's her, you can't go to this banquet even more."

Chen Xiao didn't understand. "You don't want me to go, you have to give me a reason, right? You're not jealous, are you?"

Li Ziqing's face turned slightly red, and she curled her lips, "As if I would be jealous of you. In short, you're not allowed to go. I'm doing this for your own good!"

Li Ziqing kept stopping Chen Xiao, but she didn't tell him the reason.

This made Chen Xiao a little unhappy. He snorted and muttered,

"For my own good? Does the dignified Zhu Ye Qing (Green Bamboo Snake) ever do things for the good of others?"

Li Ziqing was suddenly stunned.

She looked at Chen Xiao with a complicated expression, speechless for a long time.

Chen Xiao opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

Because of Chen Xiao's words, the temperature in the room instantly dropped to freezing point.

Li Ziqing didn't say a word and started putting on her clothes and shoes.

Chen Xiao asked, "Where are you going?"

Li Ziqing sneered, "Since you already know that I'm Zhu Ye Qing (Green Bamboo Snake), can you control Zhu Ye Qing's affairs?"

After saying that, she slammed the door open and left Chen Xiao's house.

Chen Xiao didn't stop her, although he didn't want Li Ziqing to leave in his heart.

But he was the worst at coaxing girls.

After a while, Liu Zhen came back.

As soon as she came back, her face was gloomy.

"Chen Xiao, what's wrong with you? Did you make your wife angry again?"
