Seeing that Cheng Jing was blocking him and that he couldn't deal with Jiang Youli, Qi Xiuyuan turned around and ran into the hall to complain to his father, Qi Tianjue.

"Dad, did you see that just now? Qi Huan's woman, that country girl the Jiang family just brought back, kicked me!"

"Wipe the blood clean first." Qi Feifan asked the butler to bring tissues and handed them to Qi Xiuyuan to wipe the blood from his nose.

Qi Xiuyuan took it and glared fiercely at Jiang Youli while wiping it.

Qi Tianjue's cold gaze swept over Jiang Youli, then quickly shifted to Qi Huan, his tone carrying the authority of an elder, "Qi Huan, how do you manage your woman and assistant!"

Qi Huan calmly met Qi Tianjue's gaze, "Fourth Uncle, just now Qi Xiuyuan was pushing my wheelchair, and he almost made me fall down the steps because he didn't hold on properly. Xiao Li'er was just trying to protect her husband, she didn't mean to."

"You're just going to let it go with a simple 'it wasn't intentional'?" Qi Tianjue emphasized.

"Otherwise what? Today is, after all, my engagement banquet with Xiao Li'er. It's not appropriate to make a big fuss and hurt our harmony. I won't hold it against Qi Xiuyuan for pushing a wheelchair so badly that he almost made me fall. Fourth Uncle, please don't make things difficult for my Xiao Li'er." Qi Huan said casually.

Seeing that he showed no intention of punishing Jiang Youli and her assistant Cheng Jing, Qi Tianjue became completely enraged. "Qi Huan! Is this your attitude towards this matter!"

Qi Huan hesitated, "Then I'd like to ask Fourth Uncle what you plan to do?"

Qi Tianjue said, "If you still want Jiang Youli to enter my Qi family, I'll have my son slap her a hundred times in front of all these people today! As for your insubordinate assistant, whichever leg he kicked my son with, break that leg!"

Qi Xiuyuan threw the blood-soaked tissue on the ground and nodded, saying, "My dad did nothing wrong, Qi Huan. This is the only way to vent my anger!"

Qi Huan said helplessly, "Then I really can't give Fourth Uncle this face. If you're not satisfied and insist on handling it this way, you can go and ask Grandpa if he agrees."

Hearing this, Qi Tianjue's face darkened horribly. "Qi Huan, what kind of time is this to still want your grandfather to suppress me! We were just discussing the succession with your grandfather in the study, and you're about to be abandoned, you know that?! Do you think your grandfather will still protect you, and protect his fiancée who's not even married to him yet?!"

Jiang Youli said, "Then why don't you go ask Grandpa Qi! If you won't ask me, I'll ask for you!"

As she spoke, she steadily pushed Qi Huan into the hall and placed him down. Then, she covered her mouth with her hand, looked up at the study on the second floor, and shouted loudly, "Grandpa Qi! Please come out for a moment, something terrible has happened!"

Everyone: "..."

Qi An'an, who was just watching the drama unfold, almost choked.

Why does this Jiang family's real daughter act so unpredictably?

She's so interesting.

Qi Tianjue frowned involuntarily. What was this brat up to?

A moment later, the study door opened.

Grandpa Qi slowly walked out of the study, stood in front of the railing and looked down at Jiang Youli, saying, "Was it you who called me just now, Xiaoli? What happened?"

Before Jiang Youli could speak, Qi Xiuyuan turned around and looked up at the second floor. "Grandpa, that brat teamed up with Cheng Jing to kick me! They hit me really hard. Look, my nose is bleeding!"

Unexpectedly, Qi Xiuyuan's complaint not only failed to appease Old Master Qi, but instead earned him a stern rebuke: "Qi Xiuyuan, stop calling her 'little brat'! She's your cousin Qi Huan's fiancée! She'll be your cousin's wife in the future!"

Qi Xiuyuan was stunned when his grandfather spoke up for Jiang Youli. Even Qi Tianjue was surprised by the old man's attitude.

Qi Feifan, who was determined to replace Qi Huan, frowned upon seeing this but remained silent.

To gain the old man's favor, he naturally had to avoid displeasing the old man at any time.

After a long while, Qi Xiuyuan said indignantly, "Grandpa, did you hear what I said? It was that brat Jiang Youli who kicked me first, that's why I cursed at her."

Grandpa Qi questioned, "If you hadn't done anything wrong, would Xiao Li have kicked you?"

This question made Qi Xiuyuan feel a lump in his throat. No... what's going on? Why is Grandpa protecting that bitch Jiang Youli instead of helping him?

He quickly realized that it must be because the Jiang family members and other guests who arrived one after another were watching outside the hall, and his grandfather couldn't be too obviously biased.

Everything must be based on evidence!

Thinking of this, Qi Xiuyuan immediately looked around at the other people in the hall, "Grandpa, if you don't believe me, they can all testify that Jiang Youli attacked first!"

Unexpectedly, the rest of the Qi family just watched the show and ignored Qi Xiuyuan's words.

Qi Xiuyuan found it hard to believe. It was one thing for Qi Feixue and Qi Shaoxiong to remain silent, but he never expected that his own brother, Qi Feifan, would also keep quiet.

"Brother, say something! Didn't you just see Jiang Youli kick me with your own eyes?"

Qi An'an sighed silently in her heart: Doesn't that bastard Qi Xiuyuan understand? It's obvious that Grandpa Qi really likes the Jiang family's true daughter.

At this time, anyone who speaks up for Qi Xiuyuan would be displeasing the old man.

If the old man is displeased, wouldn't the chances of taking advantage of the situation to replace Qi Huan be reduced?

Only a good-for-nothing fool like Qi Xiuyuan, who never even considered competing for the Qi family's heir, couldn't see the current situation!

Jiang Youli blinked innocently and said, "Grandpa Qi, I admit that I kicked Qi Xiuyuan, but who told him to almost make Huanhuan fall? Huanhuan is my life, my precious baby. I can't bear to see him suffer any grievances or harm. It was Qi Xiuyuan who insisted on pushing Huanhuan's wheelchair, but he didn't push it properly and almost made Huanhuan fall to the ground. In my panic, I instinctively wanted to protect him and stand up for him."

At this point, she retorted, still not satisfied, "And Grandpa Qi, don't blame me for being naive, but I also suspect that Qi Xiuyuan did it on purpose, wanting to see Huanhuan make a fool of herself!"

Qi An'an almost couldn't help but burst out laughing in front of so many people: What a wonderful example of judging a petty person by a gentleman's standards! This Jiang family's real daughter is really too interesting!

Qi Xiuyuan was so angry at Jiang Youli's words that the nosebleed he had just managed to wipe away started flowing again. "Jiang Youli, stop spouting nonsense!"

Doesn't Grandpa Qi know what kind of person his grandson is?

Just as Jiang Youli said, Qi Xiuyuan's sudden attempt to curry favor was definitely motivated by a desire to embarrass Qi Huan, but he failed and ended up being humiliated instead.

Compared to Jiang Youli, his grandson Qi Xiuyuan is truly nothing special!

Jiang Youli continued calmly, "Qi Xiuyuan, am I making false accusations? Do you dare to swear a solemn oath in front of so many people? Say that you didn't intentionally make Huanhuan fall and embarrass yourself, or may you get hit by a car and struck by lightning when it rains..."

Hearing her aggressive words, Qi Xiuyuan interrupted her angrily, "Enough! Stop talking!"

Qi Tianjue couldn't stand Jiang Youli humiliating his youngest son like this, and risking the old man's displeasure, he spoke up again, "It's meaningless for you to make such a guess and convict my son without any evidence, but it's a fact that many people saw you kick my son Qi Xiuyuan!"

Jiang Youli exclaimed "Eh!" again, "Who said I was just guessing without any evidence?"
