Chapter 296 The Consequences of Wanting to See Qi Tianxiang in Person
"Sure." Qi Huan's answer was crisp and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
This caught Uncle Ya off guard. He had originally thought that Qi Huan would raise some objections, or at least consider it.
However, Qi Huan's immediate agreement left Uncle Ya momentarily stunned, unsure how to respond.
Qi Huan seemed to notice Uncle Ya's surprise, and he smiled as he explained, "After all, you rescued and raised Zhou Zerui, so you definitely know him better than I do. If you think this is the best thing for him, then I'll listen to you."
He then added, "But don't worry, Uncle Ya, I will provide Zhou Zerui with all the resources, connections, and money he needs. From now on, he will no longer be bullied, and he can stand up for what he can't stand without hesitation, just like he did with Director Wu Kai today. And I will take care of the aftermath for him. In short, from now on, his life will be smooth sailing."
Qi Huan's words made Uncle Ya very gratified, as he knew that Qi Huan genuinely wanted to help Zhou Zerui.
Uncle Ya turned to look at Zhou Zerui, a questioning look in his eyes.
Zhou Zerui understood what Uncle Ya meant, and he nodded, indicating that he completely agreed with Qi Huan's arrangement.
In fact, if Zhou Zerui is certain that he is indeed Qi Huan's younger brother, then his greatest wish is to protect Uncle Ya and his own personal safety.
With Qi Huan's support and protection, this wish will surely come true!
As for money, Zhou Zerui is fully capable of earning it through his own efforts.
However, reality is often cruel; even if he has a way to make money, it may be easily blocked by those in power and influence.
Just like after he offended director Wu Kai, his path in the entertainment industry became extremely difficult.
Director Wu Kai doesn't hold a particularly high position in the entertainment industry, but a single word or decision from him can impact Zhou Zerui's career.
Unless a director with more influence than Wu Kai is willing to overlook his past record of assaulting a director, it will be difficult for him to establish himself in this industry.
Just like the previous drama "Legend of Fuyao" produced by Dafeng Entertainment, director Zhang Bufan originally intended to cast him as the male lead.
This should have been a golden opportunity, a chance for him to prove himself again.
However, he was ultimately eliminated because of the malicious smear campaign.
Zhou Zerui looked at Qi Huan in front of him. This pride of the Beijing circle had once seemed so far away from him, but now he suddenly claimed to be the younger brother of this pride of the circle.
It was hard for him not to feel a complex mix of emotions.
He knew that Qi Huan was most likely his biological brother, but he didn't know how to address Qi Huan right now.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Zerui finally spoke up: "...President Qi, I'm sorry, even if I'm sure I really am your younger brother, I'm afraid I'm not used to calling you brother for the time being."
Qi Huan understood, of course. She didn't show any disappointment on her face, but just smiled and said, "It's okay, you can call me whatever you want, you can even just call me by my name, Qi Huan."
His tone was relaxed and natural, as if it were nothing serious.
This finally made Zhou Zerui less reserved. He took a deep breath and then asked, "So, when will the test results be available?"
Despite the presence of the mute uncle as a witness, who proved that he was very likely Qi Huan's younger brother, Zhou Zerui still hoped to obtain definitive medical support so that their kinship could be confirmed with absolute certainty.
Qi Huan replied, "Cheng Jing will have the hospital expedite the process, and we should be able to get the test results tomorrow."
“Okay.” Zhou Zerui turned to Uncle Ya. “Uncle Ya, let’s move away from here first.”
Uncle Dumb nodded.
Qi Huan then arranged for the bodyguards to pack up and take away the things in the house, while Jiang Youli took the time to treat Qi Huan's leg.
While skillfully administering acupuncture, Jiang Youli asked, "Huanhuan, Longyuan should soon guess Zhou Zerui's identity. Letting him out there will definitely put him in danger."
Qi Huan looked at Zhou Zerui, who was packing his luggage outside the room, and said, "I will arrange for twelve of the most trustworthy bodyguards that my mother left me to protect him. As long as they don't plot something like Qi Yu and her brother did last time, no one will be able to hurt him."
“That’s true.” Jiang Youli felt gratified. “It’s great that you found your younger brother so easily, and he’s being taken good care of.”
She suddenly thought of herself; when she was taken back to the Jiang family, her two older brothers weren't so considerate.
It's strange, why would she think of Jiang Zhao and Jiang Xing, those two spoilsports, when she's so happy?
"Yes, we have to thank Uncle Ya for protecting him so well."
Before finding her younger brother Qi Yue, Qi Huan had considered countless possibilities.
How much suffering did his younger brother endure during those twenty-two years here?
Fortunately, his younger brother is safe and sound, and has grown into a man who dares to stand up for what is right.
Realizing that Jiang Youli hadn't spoken for a while, Qi Huan looked away and noticed the fleeting disappointment beneath Jiang Youli's relieved gaze.
He raised his hand and gently stroked Jiang Youli's eyebrows with his fingers.
"Little Li'er."
Jiang Youli looked up, "Hmm?"
"Smile."
"what?"
"You look beautiful when you smile," Qi Huan pleaded earnestly.
Jiang Youli blinked. Although she found Qi Huan's request inexplicable, she still smiled.
Qi Huan nodded in satisfaction, "It really is beautiful."
Jiang Youli smiled even more brightly at his praise, "You look even better when you smile, why do you need to look at me specifically? Besides, I'm not aloof, I smile all the time."
Qi Huan said, "I just suddenly really wanted to watch it."
"Then I'd like to see you smile at me, even if it's just for me," Jiang Youli said after finishing inserting the silver needles.
"Okay." Qi Huan suppressed the smile in her eyes, paused for a moment, and then forced out a toothy grin.
Jiang Youli chuckled, "You look a little silly laughing like that."
Seeing her smile, Qi Huan's expression softened even more.
Zhou Zerui, who was outside, heard the laughter coming from inside the room. He couldn't help but look in and saw Jiang Youli and Qi Huan laughing heartily, seemingly chatting about something.
These two are really a perfect match.
After the treatment was over, and everything in the room had been packed up, Jiang Youli said, "Huanhuan, I won't go with you. I'm going back to the company first."
"Okay." Qi Huan looked at Jiang Youli gently. "Little Li'er, you've worked hard today."
So Zhou Zerui and Uncle Ya got into Qi Huan's car and moved to the neighborhood that Qi Huan had arranged for them.
This is a high-end residential community with strict security. Facial recognition is required for entry and exit, and security guards will only allow passage if facial recognition is used.
After moving all the luggage inside, Qi Huan didn't linger, intending to give Zhou Zerui and Uncle Ya some space to process their thoughts. "You two take a nap, I'm leaving now."
Before leaving, Uncle Ya grabbed Qi Huan's hand and used sign language.
Meeting Qi Huan's questioning gaze, Zhou Zerui translated, "Uncle Ya is asking you, what do you plan to do with that beast Qi Tianxiang? He wants to see the consequences for Qi Tianxiang with his own eyes."
