Chapter 286: Chapter 203: Go Invite Jiang Ning Back?

No wonder the Qi family members were astonished, for as long as the group chat had been established, it had always been only Ji Shuang, Qi Jingshan, and Qi Chen who were active in it.

Although there were always four people in the group, everyone tacitly agreed that the fourth was the "Little Mute."

Qi Xingzhou’s nickname in the family group, the one of the Qi family’s Little Mute, was personally changed by Ji Shuang.

Seeing Qi Xingzhou actually take the initiative to speak up in the group that morning shocked Ji Shuang as much as if the sun had risen from the west.

After Ji Shuang finished her breakfast, she tagged Qi Xingzhou in the group chat, "Zhouzhou, come down for some breakfast. When is Jiang Jiang going to Q city? @Qi Family’s Little Mute"

Qi Family’s Little Mute: I have already gone out, we’ll be home soon.

Ji Shuang: "!!!"

When had her son gone out?

How could she not know?

Not just Ji Shuang, even Qi Jingshan and Qi Chen had not expected Qi Xingzhou to take the initiative to go out on his own, especially when everyone else was still asleep.

But thinking that Qi Xingzhou was with Jiang Ning, Ji Shuang instantly felt relieved.

She just knew that Jiang Ning was definitely a blessing for the Huo Family. Look, they hadn’t known each other for long, and the changes in Qi Xingzhou over the past month were greater than those in the previous twenty-some years.

Qi Jingshan and Qi Chen were already on their way to the company, and only Ji Shuang was at home.

When she heard the familiar sound outside, Ji Shuang walked to the door and saw, as expected, Jiang Ning’s familiar white sedan... and her young son sitting in the passenger seat.

Jiang Ning also saw Ji Shuang and was the first to roll down the window and greet her, "Auntie Ji, good morning."

Ji Shuang walked down the steps and replied, "Good morning, Jiang Jiang. Have you had breakfast? Come in and sit down? Have some breakfast?"

"We just ate outside," Jiang Ning said, turning the key to shut off the engine, and apologetically declined again, "I’m going to Q city later..."

Qi Xingzhou looked at Jiang Ning with eager eyes, really hoping to hear from Jiang Ning that he would be taken along.

"Going to Q city?" As soon as Ji Shuang heard this, she immediately thought of Qi Xingzhou’s recent message in the group chat.

No wonder he was so anxious to speak up in the chat, was he afraid of being left behind?

Not bad, not bad, he even knew to ask for help in the group chat.

Ji Shuang asked with a smile, "Going for fun to Q city? Do you mind taking one more person? Look at our Zhouzhou, he’s never traveled far from home since he was little, it’s quite pitiful. If he hadn’t sent a message just now, we wouldn’t have known about him leaving in the morning. This is the first time he has taken the initiative to go out. Jiang Jiang, where did you find him?"

"At the entrance of my apartment complex. I’ve moved, and it’s not too far from here," Jiang Ning said, but then her expression suddenly froze.

The Huo family didn’t know Qi Xingzhou had gone out?

So how had Qi Xingzhou gone out?

She remembered the pitiful sight of Qi Xingzhou squatting at the edge of the flower bed; he couldn’t have possibly walked there, right?

Although her new place wasn’t far from the Qi Family Villa by car, it would be at least a half-hour walk!

Jiang Ning turned to look at Qi Xingzhou, who was also looking at her with an innocent expression. Their eyes met, and the hope in his eyes seemed almost ready to spill over.

Jiang Ning turned back to continue answering Ji Shuang, "This trip isn’t for fun, there’s some other business, and there might be some danger."

"Danger?" Ji Shuang was startled and then waved her hands decisively, "That’s perfect! Take Xingzhou with you. With your little arms and legs, what would you do in danger? Don’t be fooled by Xingzhou’s dazed look, he’s actually quite strong. He listens to you so well, if you really encounter danger, just tell him to go first, he’ll definitely protect you."

Jiang Ning: "Ah?"

Ji Shuang’s attitude really confused Jiang Ning.

Normally, when parents hear the word "danger," don’t they wish they could immediately pull their own children back home to avoid it at all costs?

How come every single member of the Qi Family seems eager to hand over their advantages for her to pick up?

Ji Shuang smiled, "So it’s decided then? I think he’s quite eager to go with you."

Jiang Ning glanced at Ji Shuang and then turned to look at Qi Xingzhou, who was sitting in the passenger seat, nodding seriously, "Fine."

Upon these words, relief washed over the other two.

Ten minutes later, Jiang Ning drove off with Qi Xingzhou, who had packed his luggage.

Watching the small sedan slowly fade from view, Ji Shuang looked relieved.

The little bumpkin raised in the Qi Family for over twenty years was finally going out to see the world.

As for the danger Jiang Ning mentioned, Ji Shuang didn’t take it to heart at all.

After all, there is no place in society that is absolutely safe.

Ji Shuang informed Qi Jingshan and Qi Chen about Qi Xingzhou going to Q City with Jiang Ning in the group chat, and both quickly replied with a thumbs-up in the chat, agreeing that she had handled the matter well.

...

With an additional person joining the trip to Q City, Jiang Ning searched for flights to Q City on her phone and found that the booking channels were still open, and there were tickets available, so she quickly purchased one for Qi Xingzhou.

Regarding the amount, it must have been Ji Shuang and the Qi father and son who talked about it, as Jiang Ning found that Qi Xingzhou’s big brother who liked to throw money around had transferred another sum to her account, under the glorious pretext of "Q City funds."

Jiang Ning: ...

I mean, where do you find such a flashy big brother?

Looking at Qi Xingzhou’s big brother, then at her own worthless former big brother, the difference between people was immediately clear.

Huo Li, who had been working overnight in his office, suddenly frowned and sneezed.

He rubbed his nose, his eyes showing weariness, and red blood vessels were spreading under his eyes from the recent company pressure and lack of sleep.

Knowing that his father had also come to the company, Huo Li picked up the financial reports from his desk and went to Huo Song’s office.

Upon seeing Huo Li enter, Huo Song was a bit surprised and asked, "When did you come back?"

"Midnight at four o’clock," Huo Li’s voice was indifferent.

Huo Song had just come from the Huo Family home. Seeing Huo Li like this, he immediately guessed, "Didn’t go home?"

Huo Li nodded briefly. He didn’t want to spend their conversation time on such matters and placed the documents in his hand in front of Huo Song, "Director Liu and Director Chen have both rejected our next collaboration, and Director Wang is also considering pulling out his investment."

Huo Song’s expression darkened upon hearing this.

Huo Li’s personal trip was essentially an attempt to reassure those senior clients. These were people who had been working with the Huo Family for many years. Now even they were thinking of withdrawing their investment, and Huo Li’s personal visit had proven ineffective, showing just how much the recent media storm had impacted Huo’s!

Huo Li’s cold voice announced another bombshell news in front of Huo Song, "The news about Huo Miao being arrested yesterday has spread online, and our stock has fallen nearly seven percent."

As Huo Song listened, his expression turned grim, with a hint of ferocity, "Immediately cut ties with Huo Miao!"

Huo Li shook his head, "It’s too late now. Moreover, the root cause of the problem isn’t with Huo Miao."

Huo Song’s expression shifted sharply.

If it wasn’t with Huo Miao, then it must be... Jiang Ning!

What should they do? Were they really going to beg Jiang Ning to come back?
