Jian Xi pulled out the silver needles for Old Master He. The old master was still asleep. Then everyone withdrew from the bedroom.
Just when they reached the living room on the first floor, He Qingrou was stunned. Not only her, but the others were also stunned, except for Jian Xi and He Qingchen who knew about it beforehand.
Shen Xiaoheng took a deep breath and walked towards He Qingrou nervously, holding a huge bouquet of roses in his hands.
He Jiaxu and Gu Jiaying realized that Dr. Shen was going to confess to Qingrou!
Then the mother and son became the atmosphere makers, and the cheers came from their mouths, making He Qingrou blush badly.
Shen Xiaoheng had prepared a long confession, but in the end, he stuttered nervously and only had one sentence left, "Little Rou, I've liked you for a long time. Will you be my girlfriend?"
Since He Qingrou also liked Shen Xiaoheng, she naturally agreed.
Just like that, the two got together smoothly.
Seeing a real-life confession for the first time excited Jian Xi endlessly. Although she had set this up, it did not prevent her from being thrilled!
Even in the car on the way back, Jian Xi was still chattering away.
But as she spoke, she sighed, "Alas! It's a pity I can't calculate fortunes, otherwise I would definitely calculate when your destined one will arrive, brother, so I could set you up in advance too. I don't even know what my future sister-in-law will be like, will she be charming? Gentle and virtuous? Or sweet and cute?"
Jian Xi looked at He Qingchen curiously and gossiped, "Brother, what type do you like?"
He Qingchen glanced at her. His Adam's apple moved slightly. He said indifferently, "I like them all."
"Eh~ I didn't expect you to be like this, brother. This is not ancient times. You are not the emperor!" Were you thinking of having three wives and four concubines?
However, Jian Xi knew he was just teasing her. She knew her brother was not that kind of person. Although she could not see through him, she knew he was a very dedicated person, and very deep in his feelings. Once he had chosen someone, it would definitely be only her!
Suddenly thinking of something, she sighed again, "Alas! I don't know what my future husband will be like either, and when will he show up?"
Hearing her say husband, He Qingchen's eyebrows twitched slightly. His hand caressing the steering wheel tightened slightly. An inexplicable irritability welled up in his heart and he stepped harder on the accelerator.
But he did not realize any of this, and Jian Xi next to him, who was imagining what her future boyfriend would look like, was also completely unaware!
When they returned home, He Qingchen went straight into the study. Jian Xi murmured as she watched his back, "Why do I feel like brother is in a bad mood?"
But she was carefree and only muttered it for a moment before forgetting about it.
In the days that followed, Jian Xi went to the old house every other day to give Old Master He acupuncture. After two and a half treatments, Old Master He had basically recovered seventy to eighty percent, which was a little earlier than Jian Xi and Shen Xiaoheng had said.
Jian Xi said it was mainly because the old master's constitution had been quite strong before. Now that he had gotten through this disaster, he would be healthy from now on.
After the old master recovered, He Bocheng accompanied him for nearly another month before slipping away with his wife in early June.
It was after they left that He Jiaxu handed over the equity transfer agreement to He Qingchen.
He Qingchen looked at the equity transfer agreement on the table, then looked at He Jiaxu and Old Master He on the sofa. "Heh, Grandpa, did you know about this too?"
To tell the truth, He Zhiliang did not know at first because at that time, he only woke up a limited number of times. But one day half a month ago, his third son suddenly came to talk to him about it.
He knew his sons' dispositions. However, he neither objected nor agreed but just said one thing, "I am old now. Anyway, I can't control the He family anymore. As for the matters between you nephews, I won't get involved!"
After listening to the old master's explanation, He Qingchen was amused by them.
But there was nothing he could do anyway since his third uncle had already run away and it would probably be hard to find him back for a while.
Next to him, He Jiaxu had almost curled himself into a ball. He kept chanting in his heart, "You can't see me, you can't see me. I'm just a speck of dust, I'm just a wisp of air!"
He Qingchen did not make things difficult for him either. He knew He Jiaxu was not capable of running the company, and as a freshman, he should focus on his studies first. After his graduation and some time grinding in society, he would start training him then!
It was a good thing Jian Xi did not know about this idea, otherwise she would definitely feel distressed. He was only two years older than He Jiaxu. If not for everything that had happened in the past, he would still be in college too!
Of course, He Qingchen would never let Jian Xi know about this.
Time flew by, and Jian Xi had already been in B City for over two months.
One day when He Qingchen was free, he realized that her two months deadline was up. He was thinking about what to spend the 50,000 yuan on for her when Jian Xi took the initiative to tell him that she wanted a piece of rough stone.
"Rough stone?"
Jian Xi nodded. "Yes, rough stone. Last time I said I had comprehended my ancestor's secret manuals, right? There is a storage talisman inside. I want to carve it into a good piece of jade and make it into a bracelet, a storage bracelet! That way in the future when I go out on business, I won’t need to carry my sword and flute around, which is too eye-catching."
He Qingchen recalled that last time she did say she had learned a storage talisman, but this talisman needed some spiritual energy to activate it, and such spiritual energy could only be found in high quality jade!
"Alright, coincidentally there will be a rough stone auction in B City three days later. I’ll bring you to take a look, see if there are any you like." He Qingchen said.
"Thank you, brother!" Jian Xi sweet talked him.
*
Three days later, He Qingchen appeared in a suit at the B City Rough Stone Auction, accompanied by a beautiful girl who made people unable to take their eyes off her at first glance.
The two of them caused quite a stir when they appeared at the auction.
On one hand, people were discussing why He Qingchen, who had never been interested in the jade business, would show up here today.
On the other hand, many were focused on the key point – who was that girl beside He Qingchen? She looked unfamiliar!
Most of them were from B City’s upper circle or had partnerships with the He Group. Thus, they would keep an eye on He Qingchen's dynamics at all times. After all, those without partnerships with He hoped to get a chance to meet He Qingchen in person while existing partners hoped for even more opportunities!
In fact, some of them had seen Jian Xi once before when she went to He to look for He Qingchen for the first time.
However, she had been "travel-stained" then and hadn’t stayed for them to take a clear look at her face before Executive Assistant Xu hurriedly signaled her to leave. So they only knew that He Qingchen had a younger sister, but did not know it was Jian Xi in front of them!
