I Am The Third Party (GL) - Chapter 20
My whole body trembled, and I suddenly felt a holy light overhead, money floating in the sky, and pennies raining down.
“Wow, you’re so rich! That’s really awesome, awesome! I don’t want to open a shop anymore, so you should support me too. I’ll cook for you and you’ll pay me.”
Perhaps because I was being too annoying, Qi Xi rubbed my face vigorously with his palm, and even poked it with his index finger, probably because he thought I was fat.
“The money isn’t mine. I took it from someone else, signed it, transferred it, and it became someone else’s. It’s only been in my name for a few months. Oh, I have a few houses, and combined, I’m still richer than you.”
It seemed she truly had lost the meaning of modesty.
But she didn’t need to be polite to me.
I’d be happy if she were rich. It wasn’t that I wanted to take advantage of her. Her wealth would ensure her quality of life, allowing her to eat what she wanted, wear what she wanted, and be more comfortable.
“Don’t interrupt. How did you get your nickname, Young Master?”
Qi Xi gathered me together and continued, “You’re the one interrupting. Young Master is the next heir recognized by the head of the Qi family. The Qi family has always had many children, both born and adopted. Regardless of bloodline and status, as long as you have sufficient ability and means, you are qualified to compete for the throne of head of the family. I lived with my father in the old Qi family mansion until I was seven years old. When I was seven, twenty-one other children came home. My father said that those were my brothers and sisters. Including me, there were twenty-two in total, and only one would survive.”
I took a deep breath and began to imagine a tiny Qi Xi in a little white dress, holding a teddy bear, gazing blankly at a room full of children about her own age, the only father she knew standing by her side, but what he said was, “Only one of you can survive”…
“The Qi family’s way of raising children is to raise them. It’s called sifting poison. It means letting the children kill each other. The most powerful housekeeper. Ah, no wonder some people who have everything now still miss my half-life. I guess I didn’t enjoy the games as a child.”
“Is someone trying to hurt you?”
I remembered the wound on her arm from the first time Qi Xi hit her. It should be almost healed by now.
Thinking of this, I reached out to pull up her sleeve, wanting to peel back her clothes to see how the wound was, if it still hurt. She flinched, but quickly straightened her arm and let me pull up her sleeve. I
saw the wound, not big, a knife cut, scabbed over, with some new growth at the edge.
Suddenly, I felt itchy inside. I lay down and stretched my neck to lick the exposed tender flesh with my tongue. I twisted my neck to peek at her. She smiled. I was probably fooled by her smile. How could I see such a doting look in her eyes…
“My eldest brother wants me dead. He and I are both dad’s biological children. Among the twenty-two children, only my eldest brother and I are dad’s biological children. The others were either taken in by the branch of the Qi family or adopted by subordinates of the main family. When I seized the throne, I didn’t kill him because he was my biological brother. I even saved the life of my second brother who was hanging out with him. Now I think he was so cruel. He never thought that this war was over because two of the three of us were still alive. “
My dad passed the throne of the Qi family to me and announced to the outside world that I would be the next head of the Qi family. After his death, 51% of the shares of Qi International under his name would be transferred to me – this was just a superficial handover. Do you remember the picture I drew for you in the dormitory of the University of Science and Technology? At the most superficial level are the various industry circles. Qi International is merely a symbolic representation of the Qi family. Further down, the middle layer is the underworld, whose territories are divided into districts. The deepest core controlling forces are divided into “groups.” Haha, those well-dressed upper-class people you see in the media every day might actually be working for some worthless bastard, and perhaps a prominent government official is actually a senior cadre in one of these groups.
“There are a total of seventeen groups in City A, which we call the ‘Seventeen Groups’, and the leader of each group is the ‘Throne’. The ancestors of the Seventeen Groups are all old members of the Qi Family. The Qi Family is a descendant of the royal family of a certain dynasty. They fled to this area of ​​City A with their retainers, and have settled here ever since. With the Qi Family as the center, they began to secretly establish their own forces and serve the Qi Family, and this has been the case for hundreds of years. The Qi Family is in charge of these seventeen groups, so it is called the ‘Central Throne’. Half a year ago, I was driven down by my eldest brother and became the abandoned throne. He took the throne and is now thinking about my life.” “
But you are his biological sister!”
As a good citizen with no bad record, I simply cannot understand what Qi Xi said about the ridiculous tradition of her family’s children killing each other. Those relatives and adopted children are fine, but…how could that man have the heart to do that to his only biological sister? !
“Haha,” Qi Xi laughed without warning, her shoulders shaking. She lifted her shirt and pulled her pants down, revealing a dark brown scar on her lower abdomen. “It’s precisely because I’m her biological sister, a descendant of the same Qi family patriarch as him, supported by the Central Throne Knights, and his biggest rival, that he takes extra care of me.”
I’ve seen this scar before. The day Qi Xi came to see me, pretending to be my cousin, she was lying in bed, stretching, and her clothes were pulled up, revealing a small part of the scar, which was hidden by her pants.
Now it’s really shocking, a long, twisting line that climbs up her thigh, ugly and hideous.
“My brother chopped this off the night before I was sent out of the old house when I was seven. Nine years later, as a token of my gratitude to my dear brother, I specially gifted him a bullet. Unfortunately, my skills weren’t up to par at the time, so it missed the mark and only sliced ​​a little lung. I told him how could a man not be shot? A bullet hole in his chest is so handsome. Sleeping with a woman gets him complimented on his scar. He even had to thank me, his sister, for this gift. Isn’t that thoughtful?”
I nodded. “Thoughtful, it couldn’t be more thoughtful!”
Qi Xi glanced into my eyes, and there was an emotion in them I couldn’t understand, like a playful fish swimming beneath a tranquil lake, calm on the surface, yet ripples gently within.
I was like an angelfish, living in her eyes.
She placed her right hand on my face, her thumb gently caressing the skin of my cheek.
“My father died the day I was kicked out of the Qi family,”
she said calmly.
Just like the day she beat Wei Ling, she walked with me down the deserted alley behind HKUST. She spoke calmly, her face calm, her eyes calm, so calm that I was afraid the clouds in the sky would catch her eye.
I held her hand that was caressing my cheek, laced my fingers between hers, and gently pressed them downward.
“My brother brought two lawyers to Qi International to hold a meeting of all colleagues. The lawyers brought some documents, saying they were my father’s will, leaving all his assets to my brother, with my father’s fingerprint on them. There was also a paternity test certificate, which proved that I was the illegitimate child of my mother and another man, not my father. I wasn’t my father’s biological child, and he was the only one with the noblest bloodline in the Qi family. Those in the Central Throne Knights probably only recognized my brother. Everyone knew how easy it would be for my brother to forge a fake test certificate, but no one stood up to speak.
” “My brother has been taciturn and quiet since he was a child. He’s three years older than me. I was seven, and he was only ten.” He raised rabbits but didn’t feed them. I asked him, “Brother, why don’t you feed the rabbits cabbage?” My brother said that he liked to see the rabbits being tortured. He always liked to use actions instead of words. That night, he walked up to me with the sword my father gave him, and without saying a word, he just stabbed me. Finally, he said to me who was lying on the ground bleeding: “I’m going to chop you with a knife. It’s just right for you to die after the bl00d has flowed out. If you don’t die, then I’ll give you a life. I won’t be polite when we meet again. Ha, ha, ha.”
I buried my head deeply in Qi Xi’s arms, wrapped my hands tightly around her waist, and listened quietly to her heart. Qi Xi’s heart must be very beautiful, and it beats very powerfully, boom, boom, boom, dancing the symphony of fate, stubborn, strong, and unyielding.
She bent down and kissed my hair, saying, “When I was kicked out half a year ago, I told him that I didn’t care about the Qi family’s assets or the throne of the Central Committee. I just wanted to take good care of Mom and Dad and live happily with my family, including my brother. I gave him whatever he wanted. If he asked me to leave, I would pack up and leave immediately. But I want to know why Dad, who has always been in good health, got inexplicably sick in just a few days and died suddenly overnight?
“I was with Dad when he was sick. I never heard him talk about anything about a will. On the night of Dad’s accident, my brother suddenly called me out and said that there was something very important that he had to discuss with me in person. As soon as I left, the housekeeper told me that my dad had died suddenly. I asked him to touch his heart and ask himself if he still had a conscience. He knew what he had done. It’s not enough for me to be the only one, and he is not worried about other things.”
I said, “Qi Xi, your brother is so bad. I hate your brother.”
Qi Xi smiled, “In fact, I’m not much better than him. “
No,” I shook my head, held her face with my hands, sat up straight and looked her in the eye, “I hate him not because he is a bad person, but because he is not good to you, he makes you uncomfortable, and makes you sad. I hate him.”
I am telling the truth. There are so many bad guys in society, murderers, arsonists, fraudsters and robbers. If I have to go through my heart and curse every one of them, then I am really too idle.
If people really hate something, it must be something that endangers themselves.
Just like that Qi Xun, he wanted to harm Qi Xi.
I want to put him in a pig cage once, then tore him apart once, and then take slices of meat.
What right did he have to chop Qi Xi, I couldn’t bear to hit her.
“Little fairy, Yan Sinan saved my life and broke a leg.” Qi Xi said suddenly.
I was stunned and my face began to turn pale.
“Half a year ago, my brother sent people to block me. At that time, Sinan and I were in the car, and she helped me block a piece of glass. ” “
… …”
“Do you know what Yan Sinan said to me at that time?”
I stared at her blankly, cold sweat gradually seeping out of my palms, feeling a little cold.
“She said:’Qi Xi, I hate your brother, he makes my life so tiring.’ But what those words sounded like to me was: Qi Xi, I hate you, you make my life so tiring. Little fairy, I owe Sinan too much, I can never repay you for that leg alone in my lifetime. “
