APCF -Chapter 30 (2)

The Qi family had a dedicated parking space at the airport. Qi Xingchen followed the signs, walking as he searched for Qi Yuji’s car plate number ending “666”, a Bentley with tiny wings.

When he reached the place, it turned out that the car plate numbers ending in 666 and 777 were all there.

Qi Yuji was leaning against her car, holding up her compact powder to fix her makeup. A custom-made Chanel short jacket paired with a short skirt and knee-high boots, the look basically doubled the length of her legs.

Qi Yunxiao stood beside her, making a phone call, his figure tall and imposing. His ash grey shirt was left unbuttoned to the second button.

He had just read through some documents and hadn’t had time to take his black rimmed glasses off, which added to his ascetic air.

The old father of the Qi family was dressed much more formally, in a suit and leather shoes and his hair meticulously combed. Even though he has entered the uncle age group, he was easily the most handsome out of all the uncles.

With each of them dressed like this, if one didn’t recognise them, one would have thought that they were here to fetch some country’s national leader.

Qi Xingchen looked down at the windbreaker and jeans he wore out of comfort, and immediately felt 100% out of place.

He awkwardly cleared his throat and was about to ask why everyone was here. But even before he could open his mouth, the doors of Lamborghini car beside him suddenly rose up.

A long leg clad in ripped jeans landed on the ground, and it was followed by a 17-18 year old youth who got off.

The youth had dyed his hair granny grey and blow-dried into the currently most popular hairstyle. His eyebrows were bold and imperious, his dressing was stylish, and he had two studs in his left ear that sparkled with scattered light.

Before Qi Xingchen coil recall who he was, this person had already looked at him and opened his mouth to accuse him bitterly: “Ge, why didn’t you tell me that you left?!”

Oh, Qi Xingchen remembered. This was his younger cousin from the family of the original owner’s uncle, Qi Jiaze.

With Qi Jiaze’s cry, the rest of the people also realised their big treasure had arrived. Qi Yuji quickly put away her compact powder, and rebuked him: “Jiaze, your brother is very tired, let’s not talk about this first.”

After saying that, she turned to Qi Xingchen, her gaze worried: “Xingxing, you seem to have slimmed down again.”

“I didn’t, maybe because I exercised a lot and my muscles tightened up so it looks like I slimmed down. My weight hasn’t actually changed.”

In the later stages, under the supervision of a certain fake idol, he ate more than his fill every meal, so he could not have slimmed down.

“Then that’s alright,” Qi Yuji’s eyebrows unfurrowed, “I boiled some soup for you, it should be almost ready now. Let’s go back and drink it.”

“Mn. By the way,” Qi Xingchen asked, “why are all of you here?”

“We are here to fetch you home!”

Qi Yuji beamed as she replied, and Dad Qi and Qi Yunxiao nodded along in unison.

Qi Xingchen’s heart melted into a puddle, and smiled as well.

666 was Qi Yuji’s car and 777 was Qi Yunxiao’s car. When it was time to head home, the harmony that was maintained until then was completely broken.

Qi Yuji said: “Xingxing, take my car, I’ll personally drive you.”

“Her driving is erratic,” Qi Yunxiao said, “I brought Old Sun along, it’s better for you to take mine.”

Old Sun was the steadiest driver in the Qi family.

“That’s right, take Yunxiao’s car.” Dad Qi chimed in as he was in the same car as Qi Yunxiao.

Qi Yuji’s small face immediately fell, and world war 3 was on the verge of occuring.

Qi Xingchen’s scalp was numbed by them. As choosing either of them would result in the other being unhappy, he might as well choose neither of them: “I’ll take Jiaze’s car. I forgot to inform him before I left, so I can just explain things to him on the way.”

Hearing this, Qi Jiaze’s displeased expression finally improved a bit and gave Qi Xingchen an “it’s good that you understand what you’re doing” look, then he raised the car door for him.

“So it’s like this…… Alright then.” The rest of the group could only concede.

It was already past the rush hour after 6pm and there were not many cars on the road. The 3 cars of the Qi family formed a line and made their way home.

On the way, Qi Jiaze kept his eyes ahead and said coldly: “What are you going to explain—— Don’t apologise, I’m telling you, there is no point in apologising.”

Qi Xingchen choked.

When he had left, Qi Jiaze was attending boarding school and could not make visits to his house. In addition, at that time he had just transmigrated over and his thoughts were rather jumbled. He didn’t even talk much to Qi Yuji, much less this non-biological brother of this original owner.

From the original owner’s fragmented memories, Qi Jiaze had a rather poor personality, but he had treated him quite well.

The most important thing was that Qi Jiaze also had cannon fodder scenes.

The specific details still had to be slowly uncovered by QI Xingchen, it seemed to be related to Tao Tao’s younger brother somehow.

So that the good brothers persona would not collapse, Qi Xingchen asked: “Then what must be done for you to cool off?”

“Do you even need to ask me that?”

Qi Xingchen: “……”

“Forget it,” Qi Jiaze sneered, “Insincere.”

From the orphanage to the acrobatics group, all the children he had met were from poor background and never had to chance to interact with this sort of little young master. He didn’t know how to reply and weakly bowed his head.

Seeing his phone on his lap, he suddenly remembered that Luo Qiuman and the others had asked him to report his safety after landing. He quickly opened his WeChat to send the messages one by one.

Once it came to Bo Ye, he thought over it for a bit, then typed: 【I’ve reached, have you reached yet?】

By answering with a question, it would greatly reduce the chances of the other party not replying after seeing that he was reporting his safety.

Unfortunately, after sending the messages out, all the other people replied within 10 minutes, but there was no activity in his chat history with Bo Ye.

Maybe his flight hadn’t landed yet, Qi Xingchen thought as he stuffed his phone back into his pocket——

For some unknown reason, Qi Jiaze suddenly braked sharply. His body flung forward from the inertia and was then reined back in by the seatbelt, causing the back of his head to slam back on the headrest of his seat!

“Hiss——”

The seat was not hard, but the feeling of the impact was not pleasant. Black spots appeared in front of Qi Xingchen’s eyes, and confusion flooded him.

A hand landed on the back of his head and wildly felt around the area. Qi Jiaze’s voice was anxious: “Ge, your head didn’t get knocked broken, right?”

“N-no,” Qi Xingchen shook his head slowly, “I was a little dizzy, but I’m fine now.”

Qi Jiaze was still not reassured and his fingers continued to run carefully over the back of his head. Once he confirmed that he didn’t feel any blood, he had a grim expression: “Ge, there’s your favourite soft candy with filling in the backseat. Wait for me here for a few minutes.”

As he said this he pressed the button to open the power door, but Qi Xingchen hurriedly pulled on Qi Jiaze’s sleeve to stop him: “Where on earth are you going?”

“I’m going to deal with the b*stard that crossed the road.”

Qi Xingchen followed Qi Jiaze’s gaze and looked in front. Only then did he realise that on the pedestrian crossing in the middle of the road, there was a boy in school uniform who was hugging his bag with his head bowed and walking very slowly across.

“Just go around him and continue on your way, “ Qi Xingchen shook his head, “he might have something on his mind, or he’s feeling unwell.”

“Go around him? Dream on!” Qi Jiaze snorted coldly, “ Since he dared to hurt you, laozi must get him killed!”
