Good luck every time

Han Shian seemed unaware of Zhao Qi's purpose and directly welcomed him in as the host.

Zhao Qi was very resistant in his heart, but he was also unwilling to admit defeat in front of Han Shian.

At this point it was no longer just a question of whether he liked Li Ruyi or not, but that his dignity could not be challenged.

Seeing Zhao Qi walk in with his hands behind his back, Han Shian smiled instantly.

Zhao Qi went straight to the main house, but after taking only four or five steps, he was stopped by Han Shian.

"This is Mr. Zhao..."

Zhao Qi's eyes suddenly widened, feeling that Han Shian had even given up his job because of the vicious competition. He was a guest, but he was not even allowed to go to the main hall?

Han Shian spoke slowly, as if he was an old scholar who had become stupid from reading too much. He noticed Zhao Qi's angry gaze and finished the second half of his sentence slowly.

"The person that Young Master Zhao rescued is now recuperating here."

Zhao Qi: ...

The excuse he made up to show off his competitive spirit now became a boomerang and hit him.

Zhao Yan followed him in and made a gesture to the people behind him, and a group of people began to move things down from the car.

It was the first time for both Li Jixiang and A Cai to see Zhao Qi, and they hid far away and watched secretly.

Only the third brother, who felt that he was hiding his head and showing his tail, walked out openly. When no one was paying attention, he ran to Li Ruyi and secretly gave Li Ruyi an ambiguous look.

Li Ruyi patted her head, put his arm around her shoulders and watched people move gift boxes into the yard.

Zhao Yan was much more straightforward than Zhao Qi and bowed to Li Ruyi.

"Miss Li, these are all festival gifts that my young master specially collected and sent to you."

Li Ruyi was not a pushover either. Hearing this, he smiled faintly and with just one sentence, he completely dispelled the ambiguity in Zhao Yan's words.

"The Zhao family is indeed a family of poetry, literature and etiquette. I am a little terrified that they treat Mr. Zhao's savior with such courtesy."

Zhao Yan: ...

It's not like he couldn't afford to lose, and he still had a smile on his face, as if what Li Ruyi said was absolutely correct.

While Zhao Yan was suffering a setback here, Zhao Qi was not having an easier time over there.

The beggar he rescued is now in good health.

This guy is not a very hardworking person on weekdays. Li Ruyi originally wanted to give him some work to do, but he didn't work that hard.

But perhaps because he had experienced life and death, this man still wanted to survive, so he used his best tricks on everyone.

That is playing the victim and trying to please.

Not to mention, after his miserable comparison and unbridled flattery, plus the identity given by Zhao Qi, no matter how much resentment Li Er and his companions had towards him, they kept it to themselves.

The beggar was not very old, only about seventeen or eighteen years old, and had no name. Everyone called him "Baofan". He had been a beggar as far as he could remember.

He can't do anything, not even basic living skills.

He had no common sense about washing clothes, no etiquette for eating, and even had to learn how to go to the toilet on the spot.

The main reason was that Li Er beat him too harshly. He usually solved his problem anywhere, but after being chased by Li Er like a dog for a while and watched him go to the toilet all day long, he began to feel a little ashamed and knew to go to the toilet to solve the problem.

However, he still didn't like taking a bath and was still sloppy.

I just had to learn some rules reluctantly, but I was afraid I would be abandoned and die outside again, so I just forced myself to learn them.

The older you are, the more difficult the university rules become.

The person who taught him the rules was angry, and the person who was learning the rules looked at a loss.

As soon as Zhao Qi entered the door, Bao Fan knelt on the ground and cried loudly. His kneeling legs were tossing and turning. He rushed towards Zhao Qi and almost pulled his pants off.

"My benefactor... I finally see you! I think about you day and night, and even in my dreams!"

Although he was expressing his gratitude, Zhao Qi felt that the other party was shouting "Please be kind! Give it to the stutterer!"

He remembered the day when he brought back the full meal and Li Er picked up lice with chopsticks to show him. His scalp went numb and he shook his legs quickly to try to get rid of the full meal.

But how could his practice be enough?

Judging people’s clothes is also a compulsory course for beggars. It takes a lot of knowledge to know which people you can ask for money from and which people you should not approach and offend.

To some extent, Baofan's perception of other people's emotions has far surpassed that of ordinary people. He can tell at the first sight how the person feels about him and whether he can give him something.

Although Zhao Qi was dressed modestly, the texture and temperament of his clothes had already made Baofan realize that the person in front of him must be of high status.

Zhao Qi's various actions to save face made Baofan find his weak spot.

Don't underestimate anyone, even if he is a beggar. Once he has the opportunity, he can suppress a little waste trained by a big family.

Zhao Qi is a capable man. It can be seen from the fact that he has been collecting weapons over the years that he is a man of bold ideas, action and drive.

But his identity as the eldest son of the Zhao family is both a protection and a constraint, making his shortcomings and strengths equally obvious.

It’s not like the old lady of the Zhao family hadn’t thought about helping him change his mind, but how could this man’s temper be changed so easily?

You won't grow without experiencing things.

On the contrary, Zhao You, who was under his control, obviously knew how to make trade-offs better than Zhao Qi, and was more like a qualified heir to the family.

"You saved me from the ruins. From now on, my life belongs to you. I am willing to go through fire and water for you. If you say go forward, I will never go back. If you say go east, I will never go west..."

"Benefactor! You are my lifesaver!"

Han Shian stood aside and threw the question to Zhao Qi, with no intention of helping out.

Zhao Qi looked at Han Shian and then at Baofan.

It was not until this time that Zhao Yan, who heard the noise in the yard, rushed in hurriedly and picked up the boneless rice with one hand.

"Alright, alright! Stop howling! What is my uncle's status? Can you just steal his name if you want to?"

When Baofan saw the people brought by Zhao Qi, he instantly became much more obedient.

Han Shian spoke at this time.

"I guess Mr. Zhao came here specifically to have a good meal, and he wants to take someone away, right?"

"It is said that saving people is like sending a Buddha to the west. Young Master Zhao is kind-hearted and has a similar temperament to my senior sister Ruyi. He will definitely be more tolerant of those he has saved."

Zhao Qi could hear the sarcasm in Han Shian's tone, but he was also put on the spot for a moment.

Just like Li Ruyi said, he has encountered very few obstacles, and when he encounters one, he always wants to overcome it.

During this period of time, his mind was completely occupied by Li Ruyi. The desire to conquer and his love for Li Ruyi mixed together and had become an obsession.

It seems that if I can't get this person, I will never be able to get rid of this obsession.

Zhao Yan heard that Han Shian was openly setting a trap for Zhao Qi, and he felt anxious.

But Zhao Qi could no longer refuse.

After all, he was the eldest son of the Zhao family. He could afford to support not only one beggar, but even a group of beggars. How could he refuse the opportunity to get closer to Li Ruyi? Although he was unhappy, he still said it.

"That's true. I saved him because Miss Li once told me that she hoped I would spread her kindness."

He thought Han Shian would be angry when he heard Li Ruyi was so close to him.

But Han Shian didn't follow his idea at all.

"Ruyi has a kind heart. After saving someone, she hopes that the other person can live a good life."

Zhao Qi thought he could use this closeness to put pressure on Han Shian, but Han Shian's words "as you wish" excluded Zhao Qi from their world.

The relationship between Zhao Qi and Li Ruyi was far from enough to call each other by their first names, let alone speak in such a familiar tone.

He hated the feeling that he was out of control.

"That's true! She actually said something like that!"

After saying that, Zhao Qi turned to look at Zhao Yan.

"Take him back! Change his name to... Zhao Li."

Zhao Yan: ...

"After all, it was Miss Li and I who saved this man. I can't bear this good reputation alone!"

It’s not like Zhao Qi won’t fight back.

Don’t mention it, Han Shian was really disgusting for a moment!

However, it was only for a moment.

The little beggar had known Zhao Qi's identity for a long time. Now being able to go back to the Zhao family with Zhao Qi was simply a godsend.

His whole face turned red with excitement and he kowtowed to Zhao Qi on the spot.

Zhao Qi was indifferent to his gratitude.

But the next moment, the little beggar stood up and ran out to the yard and kowtowed three times to Li Ruyi.

Now, Zhao Qi was happy!

He glanced at Han Shian, wanting to see the ugly expression on Han Shian's face.

However, Han Shian only saw a smile on his face, as if he was extremely satisfied with the result.

Zhao Qi secretly cursed Han Shian for being so pretentious.

But Han Shian was thinking, finally he got rid of this guy. It was really uncomfortable to see him wandering around in front of him like that without any rules.

Sometimes it’s not good to have too many rules.

But sometimes it’s not good to have no rules at all.

Just like this little beggar.

When eating, he was like a starving ghost, stuffing everything in the bowl or plate into his mouth.

I am not very good at using chopsticks, and I would never use any tools if I could use my hands.

I don’t like to wash my face in the morning because I’m always worried that if I look a little more decent, I’ll lose other people’s sympathy.

Not to mention that he hated taking a bath and washing his feet.

Beggars wash their feet every day, is that a joke?

The thick calluses and dirt on their feet are their last layer of protection. Otherwise, how can they walk if their shoes are torn?

Mindsets are difficult to change.

It would be difficult for either Han Shian or Li Ruyi to live with this person.

It’s really the best thing that Zhao Qi could take the person away.

This matter was easily finalized, and Zhao Qi didn't even ask the other party whether they were willing.

Han Shian just found it funny. Why did such a person think that Ruyi would like him?

Is it just based on status and money?

After Zhao Qi dealt with the matter of the little beggar, he turned around and went to find Li Ruyi.

This is the purpose of his coming here.

The holiday gifts he had sent were still piled in the yard, and Li Ruyi had already gone back to continue his carpentry work.

The third brother helped her, while the eldest sister and A Cai hid in the kitchen.

When Zhao Qi saw Li Ruyi and the third brother chatting and laughing, his heart softened a little.

Just this little thing made him suddenly want to cry.

Of course, this sudden fragility was not because he was happy to see Li Ruyi, but because he had suffered too many setbacks during this period.

Li Ruzhi saw him coming out, turned around and looked over, then stood up and wiped his hands.

"Mr. Zhao, are you done talking? Are you leaving now?"

Zhao Qi: ...

He couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud.

"Miss Li, when guests come to visit, don't you even invite them to have a meal?"

Li Ruyi was calm.

"My family's meals are simple and plain, and Mr. Zhao may not be used to them. It would be impolite. It would be better for me to invite Mr. Zhao to a restaurant for dinner some other day."
