C3 Go Home with Him
At this moment, Shu Xiaotong was like a deflated balloon, losing her courage to confront Qi Zixiu.
No matter how strong her reason was, no matter how much she wanted to be independent, she did not have any bargaining chips or rights.
That's right, mother. She had the mother she cared about the most. Her mother had to spend expensive medical expenses in the hospital every day. Without Qi Zixiu's support, her mother could not stay in the hospital that Qi's had invested in for a day, let alone pay for the imported medicine that she almost did not dare to imagine.
Qi Zixiu saw that the woman in front of him had become silent. He frowned and said,
"Come home and have a meal with me later. " He flipped through a dozen documents and spoke in the same commanding tone.
Shu Xiaotong really hated his tone. He had always been self-righteous and ordered everyone, but she did not have any leeway to turn back and could only acquiesce.
It was food. Anyway, they had to eat every day. It would be the same no matter where they went to eat. She would not go against her own stomach.
She silently rolled her eyes at Qi Zixiu and sat on the sofa, not responding to his words.
All this time, Qi Zixiu was like a king that no one could say anything about. He was lazy, elegant, evil and powerful. She was like a small bird that was imprisoned in this gorgeous cage. In fact, no one knew who would suffer.
Silently sighing, Shu Xiaotong could only patiently wait for him to get off work.
At six o'clock sharp, Qi Zixiu looked at the Swiss watch on his wrist and glanced at Shu Xiaotong, who was flipping through magazines on the sofa, before saying, "Come home with me. "
After saying that, he picked up his coat from the chair and walked towards the door.
Shu Xiaotong pouted and stood up to follow him.
The elevator was the CEO's exclusive VIP channel. Because there was no one else, there was only her and Qi Zixiu in the narrow space. Her breathing could be clearly heard. Shu Xiaotong tried her best to stand far away from him, trying not to get close to him.
Qi Zixiu seemed to have noticed her little movements. His black eyes glanced at the petite figure that was shrinking into a corner. Shu Xiaotong was shocked and stopped moving. She did not want to retreat or retreat.
"Come here. " He said coldly. His gaze was tightly locked on her. Her perturbed watery eyes were reflected in his vast, ocean-like deep eyes.
"Why do you want to go over there?" She retreated even further.
Qi Zixiu immediately looked at her coldly when he heard her. His thin lips parted slightly. "Up to you. "
Shu Xiaotong bit her lips. This was clearly a naked threat!
She walked over unwillingly and stood next to him. She turned to the side of the elevator and did not look at him.
Fortunately, the elevator reached the first floor very quickly. She ended the awkwardness and anxiety of having to share a small space with him. But in the next second, she was covered by a warm feeling in her hand.
It was Qi Zixiu. He held her hand and used some force to bring her to his silver-gray Lamborghini.
What, show off your affection? Was there such a lovey-dovey scene?
Shu Xiaotong was in pain and wanted to shake off his hand, but his strength was too great. It was not something she could shake at all.
Qi Zixiu's actions were also very rude. He opened the car door and pulled her into the passenger seat.
She stared at him, but did not dare to say anything. Who knew if he would use his mother to threaten her in the next second?
She hated him, and even began to hate him! Using her freedom to threaten her, using her mother's safety to control her, she was simply an unreasonable devil.
Qi Zixiu glanced at Shu Xiaotong and saw her immediately turn to look outside the car.
It wasn't that he couldn't feel her fierce stare just now. But he only gave her a cold glance and then fastened his seatbelt.
The car drove away in silence, moving across the wide road.
The villa of Qi family was located halfway up Green Island. It was the largest villa district in the city. The people living here were either rich or noble. This was the first time Shu Xiaotong was brought here. She had been living in Qi Zixiu's small villa in the city. She did not know why, but Qi Zixiu suddenly brought her back today.
Wasn't it just a fake couple? Why would he bring her to his house?
After getting off the car, Shu Xiaotong started to feel nervous and her palms started to sweat. The empress dowager of Qi Zixiu's house was famous for being difficult to deal with and angered more than a dozen nannies and chefs away. If she went over today, wouldn't that mean. . .
At the wedding, his mother was still on vacation overseas. He also heard that her status wasn't high, so he didn't take her seriously at all. As a result, she had never seen his mother before.
"What are you dawdling for?" He saw that she was in a trance as she stood there, so he couldn't help but turn around and stare at her.
Shu Xiaotong frowned and did not say anything but her footsteps followed.
Regardless, there was still so much time to continue getting along with him. What should come would always come and he could not avoid it even if he wanted to. However, what she didn't expect was that what welcomed her wasn't the troublesome Empress Dowager, but. . .
"Yo, this is sister-in-law, right?" One of them wore a grey vest shirt. She was wearing a long black dress, and her steps were arrogant and confident. Her facial features were somewhat similar to Qi Zixiu's. Her long, bright purple curly hair was very eye-catching, but her eyes were obviously filled with disdain and pride.
Shu Xiaotong was stunned. She did not expect to meet her. Qi Zixiu's younger sister, Qi Tian. She had heard earlier that she did not live here at all. How could it be. . .
As if he had seen through her thoughts, Qi Zixiu said in a deep voice, "Qi Tian just came back from Australia on vacation. That's why I brought you here for dinner. "
Shu Xiaotong nodded in understanding. She nodded her head and gave Qi Tian a faint smile to show her courtesy.
"Yo, what is wrong with sister-in-law? Why aren't you saying anything? Why? Did my brother bully you?" Qi Tian hated Shu Xiaotong when she saw Shu Xiaotong acting like a little wife. Back then, she had advised her brother to find her best friend to be this fake bride. Coincidentally, her best friend also fell in love with her brother at first sight. Furthermore, they were well-matched. She really could not understand how she found such a useless person.
Shu Xiaotong frowned. She really did not like Qi Tian's attitude. But if her current situation were to fall out with her, it would really be inappropriate.
"No, let's go in and eat. " Shu Xiaotong tried her best to squeeze out a smile that was absolutely brilliant and revealed eight standard teeth.
But this kind of action made Qi Tian feel even more disgusted. She only gave Shu Xiaotong a light snort and walked towards the door without looking back on her 12 cm high heels.
Qi Zixiu frowned slightly with a displeased expression. He glanced at Shu Xiaotong and then brought her into the villa.
It was a three-story high European style luxurious villa. It was a combination of French and Baroque style. It was dark brown and dark red in color. The gorgeous chandelier hung down from the sky, sparkling and sparkling. The long spiral staircase looked like it was in a fairytale castle. The large round dining table was enough to accommodate more than twenty people.
The heavy Baroque sofa was filled with European furniture. Shu Xiaotong was secretly surprised.
She had always known that Qi Zixiu was a super rich man, but she did not expect him to be so rich. This style. . . * Tsk tsk * This was the rhythm of becoming an emperor!
Before she could recover from her shock, a cold and mocking voice came from behind her, "You've never seen it before, right? Look at your poor face. I'm afraid I won't have a chance to see you in my life. Take this opportunity to look at it a few more times. " Qi Tian rolled her eyes at her and then sat down on the sofa, minding her own business. She lazily turned on the television on the opposite wall.
Shu Xiaotong secretly sneered. He was so grown up, yet he still used this kind of childish trick. How boring.
At this time, Qi Zixiu was walking towards the staircase. When he passed by, he heard Qi Tian's words and could not help but frown.
Qi Tian had always disliked Shu Xiaotong but she did not expect Shu Xiaotong to not respond. It was really strange.
He glanced at the two people in the living room with different expressions and still turned around to go upstairs.
When Qi Zixiu came down again, he had already changed into a gray house uniform. The loose long sleeves and pants could not cover his slender figure. Instead, it gave him a refreshing feeling that he had never felt before. It was if his facial expression was not so cold.
Qi Tian saw him come down and quickly jumped down from the sofa. She held Qi Zixiu's hand and said in a spoiled tone, "Brother, I want to eat Nanny Lin's Thai eggplant tonight. "
As she said that, she faintly looked in Shu Xiaotong's direction from the corner of her eye.
Qi Zixiu's expression softened a little. He touched Qi Tian's forehead and said, "Okay. Go and tell Nanny Lin that she is in the kitchen. "
Qi Tian smiled brightly. Her red lips were as tender as a blooming rose. Then she walked towards the kitchen. She had just walked halfway. She seemed to have thought of something and turned her head to look at Shu Xiaotong.
"Sister-in-law, you should not have eaten Nanny Lin's cooking, right? Come with me to the kitchen and see what you like to eat. " There was still a smile on the corner of her mouth. On the surface, she looked like an amiable sister-in-law, but it didn't reach the bottom of her eyes.
This person was really like a plaster. It was clear that he wanted her to work!
Shu Xiaotong looked at Qi Zixiu. She wanted to reject him, but she saw him looking at the financial magazine at the side. She curled her lips and could only say helplessly, "Oh, okay. "
In the kitchen, a middle-aged woman in a white chef's uniform was busy working. When she saw Qi Tian coming over, she smiled kindly. "Eldest Miss is back. " She turned her head and smiled at Shu Xiaotong, "This is Young Madam, right?"
Shu Xiaotong wanted to reply but was rudely interrupted by Qi Tian, "What Young Madam? She is just a fake who wants to climb higher. Nanny Lin, don't think too much. Big Brother will divorce her sooner or later. "
When Nanny Lin heard this, the expression on her face stiffened. Immediately, she smiled apologetically to Shu Xiaotong and continued to cut the vegetables at the chopping table.
It was really a poaching everywhere. Shu Xiaotong looked up to the sky and sighed. She really did not understand how this guy's brain worked. Could it be that he was trying to squeeze her everywhere to make Qi Tian feel faster?
It was just that he did not do it in her heart. It was not over yet!
But because she had to adhere to the idea of "supporting the ship in the belly of the Prime Minister," Shu Xiaotong finally took a deep breath and endured it.
She only discussed the length of the matter with the wise and did not compete with the fool for superiority and inferiority. Shu Xiaotong silently comforted herself.
Qi Tian followed by Nanny Lin's side and watched her chopping vegetables. When she turned around to see Shu Xiaotong still standing there alone, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed across her eyes.
"Sister-in-law is preparing to stand there as a hands-off manager? Not helping Nanny Lin? Is the door of the Qi family that easy to enter? "
The provocation was obvious. Shu Xiaotong raised her head to look at Qi Tian and saw that she was looking at her provocatively. She slightly frowned and came up with a plan.
Since Qi Tian liked to put on an act, then she might as well go with the plan. It would be best if she did not have anything to do with Qi Tian.
