"Uncle Qi!"

As soon as they entered the Lee family mansion, a group of small figures rushed over and hugged Qi Junhao's thighs.

"Uncle, welcome to my house."

The little shota's childish voice was especially excited. His bright eyes narrowed into a line, his lips red and white. It was very easy for people to have a good impression of him.

"Kid, we haven't seen each other for two months, you've grown taller again."

Qi Junhao touched his head, with a gentle smile on his face. No matter what, there was someone in this family who welcomed him!

"Of course. When I grow up, I want to be tall and handsome like Father and Uncle!"

The little shota patted his chest, looking extremely high-spirited.

Li Mengqi couldn't hold back her laughter. She reached out her hand to pinch his round face, "You should just be narcissistic. Just stop tilting your head, and still want to be handsome, hmm?"

The little shota did not expect his aunt to tear him down. She stuck her waist up and said angrily, "Auntie, I'm your favorite nephew after all. Do you really have to extinguish my prestige?"

"Ha, you're the most handsome, right?"

Li Mengqi was originally in a good mood, but after being amused by her nephew, she beamed like a flower.

Qi Junhao saw the two of them arguing as if there was no one around, so he gave a light cough and reminded them, "Go in quickly, your grandpa should have been waiting for a long time."

"Oh, then hurry!"

Only then did Li Mengqi recover her composure and quickly withdrew the childish temperament she had on her body. In an instant, she regained her former dignity and magnanimity.

As the three of them entered the inner room, they saw Li Zhao sitting majestically on a mahogany chair in the middle of the hall. He had a very dark expression, so deep that even Qi Junhao couldn't tell what he was thinking.

It seemed like, just as he had expected, today would be a feast for the eyes!

Qi Junhao made up his mind. No matter what the elderly man said, he would never back down. He would never have thought that something like this would happen so unexpectedly, catching him off guard …

"Grandfather!"

Li Mengqi smiled lightly, walked over and sweetly called out to Li Zhaozheng, "Qi Junhao is here."

"Hello, Grandpa Li!"

Qi Junhao walked gracefully to Li Zhao, bowing politely to him and said, "My name is Qi Junhao, please accept my humble gift."

With these words, he personally offered two pots of expensive black tea.

"Thank you for your concern."

Li Zhao took the cup and casually placed the black tea on the tea table. His expression was indifferent and distant.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became awkward.

Upon seeing this, Li Mengqi, who was standing at the side, was secretly anxious. Her black eyes unconsciously glanced at the calm and composed Qi Junhao, signalling him to quickly open his mouth and talk to his grandfather.

Qi Junhao had always been aloof and aloof, never taking the initiative to curry favor with others. Even his own grandfather had never enjoyed the coaxing of him, so it was hard for him to get used to it.

However, for her, her beloved, she had to learn how to take a step back.

His tone was very humble: "Grandpa Li, I heard that you like to play chess, and I also happen to like it. I wonder when I will have the opportunity to ask you for advice?"

Seeing that, Li Zhao's old face still showed no expression, but his attitude slightly relaxed. He pointed to the sofa at the side, glanced at Li Mengqi, and spoke in a low voice: "Qiqi, you have no rules? The guests have come, and you're not even inviting them to sit? "

Li Mengqi, who was standing to the side, was finally relieved of the tension in her heart. Her delicate face quickly revealed a brilliant smile, "My apologies, grandpa. It was my negligence. Qi Junhao, please sit down."

"Thank you, Grandpa Li!"

Qi Junhao nodded slightly, then walked to a nearby sofa and sat down gracefully.

There was still about an hour before lunch time. After Xiaofan was rushed to the study room by Li Zhao, the three of them were the only ones in the huge living room.

The Li family had always treated guests with respect. Plus, since Li Zhao was someone who loved tea, he personally brewed a cup of top-grade oolong tea and had Li Mengqi bring it to Qi Junhao.

In fact, he had a good impression of the young man. After all, he had lived for eighty years and held a high position. With just a glance, Li Zazheng could determine whether this person's character was worth befriending or not.

The young man in front of her was handsome and had an extraordinary temperament. If not for his close relationship with Zeus, he would have been a perfect match for his darling granddaughter.

Unfortunately, marriage was not a matter for two people, but a relationship between two families. Li Zhaozheng firmly believed that even Qi Qian would not accept the granddaughter of his Li family as his daughter-in-law. Taking a step back, even if she was the helpless Jiang Yanxi, the Qi family would never allow her to enter, not to mention that Qi Junhao was the next leader of the Zeus organization.

If he did not do that, Zeus would not have let it go so easily. Otherwise, she would not have nearly died five years ago …

As he thought of this, a hint of sorrow flashed in the depths of his eyes. However, he had hidden it well. Even Qi Junhao wouldn't be able to read a single clue from his face.

Seeing that Qi Junhao was sipping the tea cup gracefully, Li Zazheng said politely, "This is the Da Hong Pao from Wu Yi Mountain. I wonder if you foreigners can get used to it."

"My grandfather is also a tea lover. Since young, this junior grew up drinking tea under my grandfather's influence."

Qi Junhao answered truthfully, his voice was neither servile nor overbearing, and his bearing was extraordinary.

Li Zhao was sighing to himself. For Qi Siqian to have such an outstanding grandson, the heavens had truly treated him well.

"How is your grandfather?"

He casually asked.

"You know my grandfather?"

Qi Junhao was surprised. As far as he knew, Zeus' territory had only ever been active in Europe and America. It was rare for him to enter Asia. How could Old Man Li know him?

"It's a long story, so let's not talk about it!"

Li Zhaozheng's eyes flickered, quickly returning to his serious self and getting back to the main topic at hand, "Qi Qi has told me about your matters. I hope I can help you. Here, I want to ask you, members of the Qi family, what do you think of the relationship between the two of you? "

Although he had expected the attitude of the Qi family members, it was necessary to follow the usual pattern.

Indeed, Qi Junhao's answer was entirely within his grasp —

"We are working hard to get grandpa's blessings!"

"Your grandfather is even more stubborn than an ox. He will never change anything he decides. Are you sure you can convince him?"

Li Zhao coldly snorted. His tone was filled with distrust.

Qi Junhao smiled, his deep eyes flashing with determination, "I will do my best to win the support of the Li and Qi family. Even if the elders of the two families disagree, I will not let go of her hand."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Mengqi with a burning gaze, meeting her gaze. Their gazes met, filled with affection. In such a vast space, it was impossible to fade away.

However, just like Qi Siqian's stubbornness, he was also someone who kept his word. Since he had already made up his mind to break up the two of them, he would not allow them to back down.

Thus, he began his first step of separating them —

"Do you know what Kiki did after she left you?"

Everyone knew that six years ago, on the eve of her wedding, Jiang Yanxue had left Qi Junhao. However, no one knew where she had gone to and what she had experienced during her disappearance.

Even Li Zhaozheng wasn't clear about this matter, because when he saw Jiang Yanxi, she had already lost her memory!

"Regarding this, junior is also puzzled. If you know, please tell me!"

Qi Junhao's tone was sincere, but there was a trace of helplessness in it.

If there was anything in his 28 years of life that he couldn't control, it would be Jiang Yanxi's heart and that blank year from her memories.

"Grandfather, do you really know what happened that year?"

Li Mengqi pinched her palms, curiosity shining in her eyes.

Li Zhao glanced at her with a heavy gaze, causing Li Mengqi to subconsciously shiver. A bad premonition quickly emerged in her heart, quickly spreading to her limbs and bones.

She didn't understand why she would suddenly have such a reaction. However, as soon as she heard her grandfather's next words, she instantly understood —

Because, his grandfather had said, "In the thirteenth month after she left you, she gave birth to a son, and that son was Fan Fan!"

Boom — —

Thunderbolt on a clear day.

Li Mengqi's expression suddenly changed. Her almond-shaped eyes widened as she covered her mouth. She was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

Fan Fan, was not her eldest brother's son, but hers?

Fan Fan's son?

How is this possible?

Grandpa even said that it was 13 months after she left Hades that she was born into the mortal world. In other words, the father of the mortal world was not Hades …

Heavens, what was going on?

How could she have betrayed Hades, no, impossible!

She didn't believe it! She didn't believe it!

After a while, Li Mengqi shook her head, choked with sobs and said, "Grandfather, you're lying to me, right? How could I have given birth to someone else's child? "

"…"

Li Zhao didn't reply, but his expression was extremely serious. It didn't seem like he was joking at all.

Qi Junhao's countenance didn't look any better. Right, anyone who heard that a year after his woman went missing, she gave birth to a son that didn't belong to him would probably never be able to remain calm, right?

However, he still had a high degree of doubt as to whether the truth was as it was.

When he thought of this, his gloomy and handsome face eased up a bit. Seeing Li Mengqi sitting beside him, looking as if she was on the verge of collapsing, he secretly sighed, reached out his hand to grab her, and gently said, "Don't worry, I believe you!"

Seeing this, Li Mengqi's heart was moved. Her eyes, which had always been low in tears, quickly became moist, and sparkled brightly with water.

Unfortunately, at this moment, Li Zhao coldly opened his mouth — —

"I never joke! The DNA can prove the relationship between you two. His birth is when you were born in a car accident, and all the hospitals have evidence to keep it. Whether or not I've lied to you, you'll know once you investigate it. "

The last sentence he said was directed at Qi Junhao.

Li Zhao knew that Qi Junhao would definitely go and investigate, but he wasn't worried at all.

The eyes of his lover couldn't hold even a speck of sand, let alone a five-year-old prostitute. No matter how much of a passionate Qi Junhao was, he probably wouldn't be able to tolerate Jiang Yanxi giving him such a big green hat. After all, this was a man's bottom line.

Seeing how confident her grandfather was, Li Mengqi felt even more uneasy.

In case …

If what Grandpa said was all true, what face would she have to stay with Hades? How could the powerful Qi family accept a woman with a child?

What should she do?

Li Mengqi subconsciously turned to look at Qi Junhao, only to see his brows locked in a scowl as a faint light flickered in her eyes. From the looks of it, he seemed to have believed her grandfather's words.

Her heart sank and she took her hand away from his palm. This time, the man did not hold her hand tightly. Thus, it was almost effortless for her to blow away her two hands that were tightly clenched.

Qi Junhao, who was lost in his thoughts, didn't notice her little movements. As for the oversensitive Li Mengqi, she was actually hurt by him at this moment.

It turned out that his deep love and love for her was only so-so, to the point that it couldn't even match up to a single word from his grandfather.

She was still too naive!

Just when Li Mengqi had sunk into the gloomy mood of the battle between heaven and earth, a childish voice sounded timidly by her ear — —

"Aunt, is what Great Grandfather said true? Are you really my mommy? "

When she raised her eyes, she saw Li Yunfan's large eyes filled with a longing light. That light was too bright, but it was enough to cause her heart to ache.

Fan...

Was her Fan really the flesh and blood she gave birth to in October?

Li Mengqi wanted to say something, but her throat felt like it was tightly strangled by an invisible hand, making her unable to utter a sound for a long time.

"Aunt, are you Mommy?"

Seeing that she didn't answer, the little shota shouted again.

At this moment, he was really happy. He was no longer a motherless child!

However, why did his aunt look at him so strangely while Uncle Qi looked like he was covered in dark clouds?

Don't they like me?

"Fan —"

Li Mengqi finally managed to utter a few words as she pulled him into her embrace, her whole body shivering.

At this moment, she didn't know how to answer him.

Logically speaking, her grandfather wouldn't have lied to her. This child had been intimate with her since a young age. If she wasn't close to him, why would she love him so much? Why would she worry about him at all times?

But if he was her flesh and blood, then who was Fan Fan Fan's father?

Judging by the time, she was conceived in the days when she was missing, so it was absolutely impossible for her to be Hades's child! Just how much of a joke had God made on her to treat her and Hades like this …

Mommy, wuu, aunt, you really are my mommy!

The little shota suddenly began to cry, sobbing fitfully, "I thought it was Fan who was dreaming. Last year, I overheard Grandfather and Father's conversation. They said that Aunt was Mommy, and then I asked Daddy, Daddy said that it was Fan's dream. Aunt was Aunt, how could it be Mommy? "Wuwuwuwuwuwu, this time Fan Fan Fan shouldn't also be sleepwalking right?"

The child's mournful wails shocked the three people present.

Even the dignified and selfless Li Zhaozheng could not help but tear up.

He used his sleeve to gently wipe the tears at the corners of his eyes, and his aged voice had a tinge of love in it. He slowly said to Fan, "Silly child, Great Grandfather didn't lie to you. Aunt is your mommy! "

Li Mengqi was completely dumbfounded. Originally, she had been skeptical about Meng Hao, but now, because of what she had said, she chose to believe him.

If this wasn't true, then how could her grandfather secretly tell her big brother that Fan Fan Fan's mother was her?

Over the years, she had repeatedly asked her big brother about the identity of Fan Fan Fan's mother. Each time, her big brother would only look at her in the eye, wanting to say something but hesitating.

She was too stupid to guess that she was the woman she had always been most curious about …

Qi Junhao remained silent. He looked at the pair of aunt and nephew who were hugging each other tightly. A complicated emotion burst out of his eyes, but his heart was surging with emotions more than it had ever shown.

Without any suspense, after his woman left him, she gave birth to a child. The most ironic thing was that the child was not his …

Heh heh, how pathetic and laughable!

Could he really accept everything that happened in the Wasteland?

At this moment, he had no answer!

Fenghua Group.

Zhang Chi gently opened the door of the CEO's office. He almost choked on the thick smell of smoke coming from inside.

He lightly coughed a few times. His good-looking face was full of disapproval, and his eyebrows were tightly knitted.

It was for that woman again, ah!

Zhang Chi remembered that at noon that day, when he was about to enjoy his lunch in the hotel, he suddenly felt a gloomy atmosphere sweep over him. When he raised his head, he saw Qi Junhao standing in front of him with a gloomy face like a Satan walking through the darkness.

At that time, before he could even open his mouth to speak, he heard his command coldly, "Return to A City!"

After returning from B City, the boss was left in this state. He stayed in the office every day, not holding a meeting, not approving documents, and from morning till night, he just sat on the sofa and smoked crazily. He looked extremely haggard, and he no longer had the look of someone who plans things on a daily basis.

Zhang Chi was anxious and wanted to pay attention to him a few times. Facing his frightening gaze, he swallowed his words, afraid that he would accidentally miss the opportunity.

But this time, the matter was more important. He could not tolerate it any longer.

As a result, he bolstered his courage, strode to the man, and respectfully bowed before him. He reported in a very serious tone, "Boss, tonight, I've arranged to meet with Secretary Lin at the Heavenly Street Clubhouse's VIP box. Please be there on time."

Previously, the Boss had already pushed down the table for host Li once. If it was pushed out again this time, the consequences would be dire. After all, even though the universe was rich, they had no power here. It was best not to offend powerful figures like them.

"…"

There was a moment of silence in the air. The man who was smoking was still puffing out smoke gracefully. He completely ignored Zhang Chi's words.

Qi Junhao's reaction was within Zhang Chi's expectations. In the past few days, almost every time he reported something, he would ignore it, causing Zhang Chi to be driven mad in his heart.

Thinking of this, he braced himself and reminded, "Boss, tonight's meal is very important. It is related to the future investment plans of Fenghua Group. Please prepare as soon as possible and attend!"

With that, Zhang Chi stood aside respectfully. At this moment, he thought to himself, if the Boss were to continue ignoring the company, could he learn from what they did to Young Master Shen and throw his Boss into the cold pond to reflect?

Fortunately, Qi Junhao finally raised his eyes and looked at him faintly. In those bloodshot eyes, there was a hint of indiscernible complexity.

"Nore!"

The man's thin lips parted. Just as he was about to say something, the door to his office was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
