Chapter 308: Chapter 308: President Qiu, You Must Be Careful
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Qi Shijie could no longer maintain his composed demeanor, and his face darkened in that instant.
Meanwhile, Qiu Ruoxi was stifling her laughter, thinking that only her cheap husband could come up with the idea of riding shit to see the world. But this explanation—it really is genius!
As if indifferent to Qi Shijie’s darkening expression, Ye Xunhuan let out a slight sigh, "Brother, you can’t be the biological one, right? Why would your parents give you such a name..."
"I am the biological one!" Qi Shijie said through gritted teeth.
"Did you check the DNA?" Ye Xunhuan asked earnestly, "Nowadays, many people have infertility issues, do you watch TV?
"If you watch TV, you’ll definitely know, lots of hospitals advertise it!"
"Some people who can’t have children, they go to the orphanage to adopt one, then tell the child they are their own biological parents, but in the end, they are not. I think you should take this matter seriously!"
The corners of Qi Shijie’s mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Is this guy cursing my parents?
"Ye Xunhuan!" Qiu Ruoxi scolded sharply upon seeing Qi Shijie’s increasingly somber countenance. "Enough, Senior Qi is my guest..."
"I know!" Ye Xunhuan replied nonchalantly. "I was just joking with him!"
"Can’t even take a joke, right?"
"Of course I can!" Qi Shijie said with a forced smile.
"I thought so, how could Brother Qi not take a joke!" Ye Xunhuan spoke as if he was very familiar with Qi Shijie, and even changed the way he addressed him, "Brother Qi, how do you take care of your skin? It’s so fair, even fairer than a woman’s!"
"What skincare products do you use? Tell me about them. I need to take good care of my skin too. Maybe someday I’ll go to a club and be able to hook up with a rich lady for fun!" Ye Xunhuan said unabashedly.
A flash of anger appeared in Qi Shijie’s eyes; he could clearly understand the true meaning behind Ye Xunhuan’s words—that he was insinuating Qi Shijie was a kept man.
"Mr. Ye is kidding, I never use those things!"
"So it’s genetic?"
"It should be."
"Then your uncle must be very fair, and your aunt must be extremely wealthy!"
The speaker meant nothing special, but the listener took it to heart!
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Qi Shijie’s face suddenly stiffened.
Ye Xunhuan was talking nonsense, but it happened to be a hit. Qi Shijie’s mother was indeed very wealthy, while his father was just a man who had married up!
Now Ye Xunhuan’s words could easily be taken as saying that his father was dependent on a woman for a living!
Qiu Ruoxi was aware of some of Qi Shijie’s background and knew that Ye Xunhuan had really hit a sore spot. She immediately said with a cold face, "Ye Xunhuan, that’s enough. If you have nothing else, then please leave!"
Seeing Qiu Ruoxi’s face turning colder and glancing at Qi Shijie, Ye Xunhuan seemed to understand something and quickly said, "That, Brother Qi, I didn’t know the uncle relied on the aunt for a living..."
"No, I didn’t know the aunt is wealthier than the uncle..."
"Not that either, I don’t know..."
Qi Shijie’s face had completely darkened, "It’s fine, no problem!"
"In short, lots of words, Brother Qi, sorry, I really didn’t mean it, I truly didn’t know about this," Ye Xunhuan said with an apologetic face. "Please don’t take it to heart!"
"I didn’t mean to make fun of your uncle, really not at all," Ye Xunhuan assured earnestly. "Many people want to rely on a woman for a living and still don’t get the chance..."
As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan realized he had misspoken again and hurriedly added, "Big Brother Qi, I..."
Qi Shijie’s clenched fists were already unconsciously balled up, and his arms trembled uncontrollably at this moment, as though he might strike out at any time!
"Ye Xunhuan, shut your mouth!" Qiu Ruoxi said emphatically!
"Oh!" Ye Xunhuan helplessly dropped his head, looking like a child who had done something wrong.
Just then, Qi Shijie’s clenched fists slowly relaxed, and a rather forced smile appeared on his face, "Ruoxi, it’s fine, Mr. Ye didn’t do it on purpose!"
"Right, right, I really didn’t mean it, if I had known, I would never have said it in front of you!" Ye Xunhuan hastened to state!
At this moment, Qiu Ruoxi’s heart was filled with an unprecedented sense of helplessness. This guy has come here just to stir up enmity, hasn’t he?
"It’s nothing, nothing, you don’t have to worry, I didn’t take it personally," Qi Shijie said with apparent magnanimity.
Upon hearing Qi Shijie’s words, Ye Xunhuan sneered inwardly, hypocrite, Yue Buqun!
You’re really good at enduring, let’s see how long you can keep it up!
Subsequently, Ye Xunhuan directly changed the subject, "I wonder what Big Brother Qi does for a living?"
"I just returned from abroad..."
"An overseas returnee, huh!" Ye Xunhuan showed a look of envy on his face.
Watching Ye Xunhuan’s face fill with envy, Qi Shijie didn’t show the slightest hint of arrogance; on the contrary, he was the picture of calm, "What overseas returnee, it’s just a bit of foreign ink..."
"Then I don’t know what Big Brother Qi has returned for this time..."
Just as Qi Shijie was about to speak up, Ye Xunhuan’s voice immediately interjected, "I get it now, you must have come to pursue our president!"
"I’m so silly, holding such a huge bouquet of roses, it must definitely be to chase our president!" Ye Xunhuan smacked his forehead and said, "Qiu Ruo, he’s here to pursue you..."
If it weren’t for the presence of Qi Shijie, Qiu Ruoxi really would’ve liked to kick Ye Xunhuan. Wasn’t it obvious? How could she not have noticed?
After hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Qi Shijie just smiled and didn’t say much, apparently accepting the assumption.
"But Big Brother Qi, it won’t be easy to pursue our president, you know, our president has many suitors..."
"That’s natural!" Qi Shijie said calmly, "Ruoxi is so beautiful, naturally, she will have many admirers..."
"That’s true, but Big Brother Qi, your chances aren’t great. The people who come to pursue our President Qiu..."
"Ye Xunhuan, that’s enough!" Qiu Ruoxi said coldly, "You have no business here, out!"
"President Qiu, I haven’t finished speaking yet. Can’t you let me finish before I leave?" Ye Xunhuan sighed helplessly!
With that, Ye Xunhuan turned back to Qi Shijie, "Big Brother Qi, you’ve just returned, so you probably don’t have a job, right?"
"Not yet, so I thought I’d come to Ruoxi’s place and see if I could get a job through the back door!"
"Big Brother Qi, you’re so bad. Looking for a job is just pretense, surely you want to catch the moon by standing close to the water!" Ye Xunhuan said with a chuckle, "But that’s alright, for a young master like you, you probably don’t lack money, so work is just a sideline, chasing girls is the main pursuit, especially since our president has such a large inheritance!"
"If you could marry our president, you would then become the son-in-law, and you wouldn’t have to do anything while having endless money to spend, right?"
Qi Shijie’s expression slightly changed. He hadn’t expected to inadvertently fall into Ye Xunhuan’s trap and be sarcastically mocked!
"President Qiu, be careful, this guy wants you to keep him..."
