Chapter Eighty-Six: Brothers
After Qingsong retreated, only the two brothers Qi Zhen and Qi Zhe were left in the living room.
The two were silent for a long time, the air in the living room seemed to be frozen, the afterglow of the sunset was getting dimmer and dimmer, Qingmei knocked on the door of the living room and asked outside the door: "Master, the sky is getting late, the light is getting darker, do you want to turn on the lights?"
Qi Yan nodded, and Qingmei carefully lit all the oil lamps in the living room before saluting and leaving.
Qi Yan laughed coldly twice and asked, "Third brother, why are you interested in visiting me?"
Qi Zhe replied with a smile: "I heard that Qinghe is here, and I will come to you as soon as I come, I don't know what happened to her, so I came to ask, but I didn't think about it...... Qinghe didn't get it, but it was blocked to Qingsong, and the information he reported was exactly what I needed, what a coincidence!"
Qi Zhen heard it, and the central idea expressed by Qi Zhe was: I'm not here to visit you, don't be sentimental.
Qi Yan sneered in his heart: What about this kind of deceitful ghost! I have personally come to the door, and I still don't want to give in? If you don't accept it, I'll force you to be soft! If I don't subdue you, how can I integrate the vein of the mansion master and prepare for the millennium plan in the future!
"Qingsong has finished reporting, and the information you want has been obtained, you can go, I will never keep you!"
Hearing Qi Zhen's ruthless words, Qi Zhe's pupils constricted, his face stiffened for a moment, and then he returned to normal, changed his expression, and said with some melancholy in his tone: "Second brother, how can I say it, we are all brothers in law!
Qi Yan finally heard what he wanted to hear, and his tone softened a lot, and said: "Brothers are of the same heart, and they work together to break gold! I also agree with this sentence! It's just that the brother is in front and the brother is in the back, can you agree?"
Qi Zhe smiled: "Second brother, you are joking, since birth, you have always been in the front, and I have always been in the back, haven't you?"
Qi Zhe gritted his teeth in his heart and said: If it hadn't happened suddenly, and it wasn't in the mountain villa that I had been running for a long time, how could I temporarily bow my head to you, a sworn enemy?
Qi Zhe knew what he needed to do at this time to dispel Qi Zhen's doubts, otherwise there was no point in bowing his head this time.
Qi Zhe sighed, and said in a tone of despair: "Second brother, do you think I want to join the clan elders' association? After you became the lord of the mansion, your father fully supported you in the villa, what else could I do except enter the clan elders' association? Even if I knew it was a pit, I would have to jump into it! To be honest! Second brother, I am not convinced! Why is it you who inherited the position of the lord of the mansion! Obviously, when my father asked us, our intention was clearly that I wanted to be the head of the mansion, and you wanted to go back to the villa to study the theory of evolution with Uncle Hong, why did my father choose you and abandon me in the end?
Qi Zhen followed Qi Zhe's words, recalling the scene when his father asked him and Qi Zhe in this living room eighteen years ago, to be honest, Qi Zhen really didn't care about the position of the lord of the mansion at first, but after his father chose him, he had a serious conversation with him, which made him reluctant but had to take over the position of the lord of the mansion!
Qi Zhen has been the lord of the mansion for eighteen years, he is finally free, and he is about to step down from the position of the lord of the mansion and pass it on to his son Qi Zhang, but he didn't expect that eighteen years have passed, and Qi Zhe is still haunted by the position of the lord of the mansion, and he will never forget!
What an irony!
Qi Yan sighed and said: "Whether you believe it or not, until now, I still don't have any nostalgia for the position of the lord of the mansion, you should know that I started to cultivate Zhang'er early, and as soon as the minimum period of twenty years is up, I will step down from the position of the lord of the mansion and pass it on to Zhang'er and return to the villa!"
Qi Zhe's eyes widened and he said in a distrustful tone: "How is it possible! If that's the case, why are you still bothering to plan the thousand-year plan of some clan?"
Qi Yan replied strangely: "Even if I am not the lord of the mansion, I am still a member of the Jishui Qi clan, everything for the clan, do my best to plan for the clan, is there any problem?"
If it were, he probably didn't even notice his own change!
Qi Zhe frowned, stared at Qi Zhen tightly, looked at him for a long time, and then sighed again and said, "I can't tell if what you are saying now is the truth or a lie." If you are telling a lie, I confess that your city is so deep that I cannot see any trace of your lying. If you're telling the truth, that's a great irony for me!
"You can do so well as a mansion master with such a reluctant mentality! I even have to admit that my father's choice back then was really not wrong, you are really the best candidate to be the mansion master!
"How can you make me feel embarrassed?
"You make me live like a joke!"
Qi Yan was speechless and could only remain silent.
Qi Zhe was silent for a moment, regained his composure, and spoke again: "No matter what, you and I are both brothers of the in-laws, both of the descendants of the mansion master, and both of the descendants of the Jishui Qi clan! No matter how I fight with you, I have never thought of harming the interests of the clan! This time it is the same, and I have never thought of it like that!"
Qi Yan nodded and said, "This, I believe it! You are what I grew up watching, your character, I naturally believe it!"
Hearing Qi Zhen's words made Qi Zhe's heart feel hot! How good the relationship between him and his second brother was before! His father was busy, and his eldest brother was frail and sickly, so he had been staying in his yard to recuperate, and it was always the second brother who took him to play and teach him, and his feelings for the second brother were the deepest! Until ......
Qi Zhe shook his head with complicated eyes, as if shaking these memories away, and then said seriously: "I have been mixed in the clan elders for all these years, and I am not in vain, I am very familiar with those clan elders in the clan elders' association, after I left, the more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes!"
Although Qi Yan is clear about the affairs of the villa, after all, he does not live in the villa, and the specific people who correspond to the villa are not very clear, which cannot be compared with the Qi Zhe who has been mixed in the villa for 18 years!
"What's wrong?"
Telling Qi Zhen these words was originally the main purpose of Qi Zhe's coming over today, and what he said was naturally true, and what was false could not deceive Qi Zhen. Qi Zhe saw a glimmer of opportunity to get closer from this, but he still needed an opportunity, preferably ......
Qi Zhe had no intention of selling the lawsuit, and said very simply: "Uncle Liao's behavior is very strange! After you left in a frenzy, the timing of his forcing me to express my position was not right! Uncle Liao is the best at controlling the timing, and the control of the timing has been deeply rooted in his bone marrow, and it can't be changed at all! Uncle Liao's behavior at noon today is too strange, and it is not at all like Uncle Liao's style!"
Qi Yan really didn't know this, so he nodded thoughtfully and said, "You mean, Uncle Yao's behavior is very abnormal?"
"Yes! Based on what I know about Uncle Yao, it should be that he thinks the time has come, so he will force me to make a statement like this! It is the time when only he knows, but we don't know!"
"I know, I know! Thank you, third brother, this news is very important to me! You come to see me, the clan elders will ...... over there."
Qi Zhe waved his hand and said, "Don't worry over there, I've been prepared!"
Qi Zhen nodded, this is about the same as he expected, Qi Zhe, this kid looks like a bastard, in fact, he is very cautious, that oolong incident, Qi Zhen wondered if Qi Zhe did it on purpose!
After Qi Zhe said this, he said goodbye and left, and if the big living room left Qi Yan alone to sit on the main seat, he lowered his head and muttered to himself: "The timing ...... Occasion...... Could it be ......?"
