Chapter 173: Chapter 172: Which Lord Qi_1

"Lord Qi? Which Lord Qi?"

Hao Lian Yong was momentarily perplexed.

"It’s Lord Qi of the Qi Corporation..."

The servant had barely finished speaking when Hao Lian Yong took long strides towards the door.

The expression on Yan Ling’s face was somewhat blank.

Lord Qi of the Qi Corporation?

Wasn’t that Qi Yunjue?

Why would he suddenly show up at the Hao Lian Family’s residence?

Just when Yan Ling was puzzled as to why Qi Yunjue would appear, An Qiuyue and An Qianqian also followed Hao Lian Yong towards the front door.

Yan Ling took advantage of everyone else’s distraction to inconspicuously feed the old lady in her arms a pill.

Shen Yanming saw this and spoke in a low voice, "That pill won’t kill her, right?"

Yan Ling gritted her teeth and replied, "The medicine definitely won’t cause her to die, but those who remain silent will eventually get beaten to death!"

Hearing this, Shen Yanming remembered the miserable incident when he was dragged around like a dead dog and involuntarily retreated a couple of steps.

While Yan Ling and Shen Yanming were chatting, the other guests also started to speculate with growing curiosity.

"Didn’t they say that the Hao Lian family and the Qi family had severed ties? There hasn’t been any contact for over a decade, so why did Lord Qi suddenly show up at the Hao Lian Family’s residence?"

"Oh, you must not know this! Even though the Qi and Hao Lian families rarely interacted over the years, they still maintained a connection! Otherwise, why would the Qi family have sent gifts to Lady Hao Lian every year on her birthday?"

"But where is Lord Qi? Hao Lian Yong has been out there welcoming him for quite a while, and we haven’t seen a single person!"

"Could the servant have been mistaken? It’s plausible for someone from the Qi family to come and deliver a gift, but for Lord Qi to personally visit the Hao Lian family?"

"I think there might be a chance! Didn’t they say there was a marriage arrangement between the Qi and Hao Lian families? Lord Qi has reached a marriageable age. Maybe he’s here to discuss the marriage."

"That’s impossible. Leave aside the fact that the eldest daughter of the Hao Lian family is already deceased. Even if she were alive, someone as prestigious as Lord Qi would never set his eyes on a country girl who grew up in the Boondocks."

Despite Haishi ranking among China’s top three cities for GDP over the past few years, in the eyes of these distinguished individuals from the Jing Circle, it was still an insignificant place.

"But Lady Hao Lian doesn’t only have one granddaughter. Qianqian was also legally adopted and raised as Lady Hao Lian’s granddaughter, wasn’t she?"

With this comment, everyone else quickly understood.

"During Qianqian’s previous interview, she did mention that her marriage might be arranged by her elders. Could it be that Lady Hao Lian already made an agreement with the Qi family to have her married into their household?"

"Indeed, it’s very likely! Although Qianqian is in the entertainment industry, she has always led a clean and decent life. With her status and beauty, she and Lord Qi would be a perfect match!"

"If the Hao Lian family really ties the knot with the Qi family, the dynamics in the Capital are likely to change! General Hao Lian is truly fortunate. Despite being childless and having only an adopted daughter, he managed to turn the tables thanks to a capable niece!"

Yan Ling and Shen Yanming were engaged in their conversation and didn’t hear these speculations.

At the entrance of the Hao Lian residence, Hao Lian Yong also looked a bit serious at this moment.

A luxury car was indeed parked outside the gate, but its doors were all shut tight and no one had stepped out.

What was going on?

Was he expected to personally invite the guest in by the car?

"Brother Yong, I think Lord Qi might be here because of our Qianqian. Should we let Qianqian invite him in?"

Hearing An Qiuyue’s suggestion, Hao Lian Yong immediately brightened up.

He had hinted to the Qi family before about letting Qianqian replace Yan Ling in the marriage alliance.

The Qi family members hadn’t outrightly refused at that time.

Could it be that they had agreed?
