Chapter 550 - 550 550 Condolences (6)_1

550: Chapter 550: Condolences (6)_1 550: Chapter 550: Condolences (6)_1 Qi Jingyi wore an expression as if he had nothing left to live for, “My image as a noble young master is completely ruined by you…”

Yang Ruxin spread her hands innocently but didn’t want to dwell on the topic, and quickly changed the subject, “Speaking of which, what’s your tenth brother up to now?”

“You want to know?” Qi Jingyi’s eyes lit up.

Yang Ruxin nodded.

“What’s in it for me?” Qi Jingyi slightly raised his eyebrows, looking at Yang Ruxin with anticipation.

“Nothing,” Yang Ruxin spread her hands, “If you feel like saying it, I’ll listen; if not, forget it.”

Qi Jingyi frowned.

But just as he was about to say something, Han Baichuan came back in, carrying the dishes personally this time, with the young waiter hurrying to place the rest of the food on the table behind him.

“Eat up first, the rest will be here soon.” Han Baichuan smiled and then left before Yang Ruxin had the chance to say any words of courtesy.

“Yang Ruxin, how can you be like this?” Qi Jingyi was not pleased and looked at Yang Ruxin with a look of grievance, “Shouldn’t you beg me to tell you?

Shouldn’t you appear a bit more concerned?

Shouldn’t you…”

“Stop right there!” Yang Ruxin hurriedly raised her hand to stop the stream of rhetorical questions, “There are lots of ‘shoulds’ out there, I don’t have so many ‘shoulds’ here.

Just one sentence, say it if you want, if not, that’s it!”

“So now I can’t even speak?” Qi Jingyi finally understood that he shouldn’t play coy with this woman, otherwise, he’d just end up frustrated.

Yang Ruxin nodded, “Speak,” then she made a serious face, ready to listen attentively.

Qi Jingyi simply told her about what Qi Jingrong had been up to at the Shen Family.

“Your brother even snatched the woman who was originally yours?” Yang Ruxin exclaimed in surprise.

Qi Jingyi suddenly had a dark line run across his forehead.

This woman’s focus is always different from everyone else’s, isn’t it?

“Forget it, if she could be snatched away, then she wasn’t yours to begin with.” Yang Ruxin suddenly sighed, “You should grieve…

“Grieve what ghost?” Qi Jingyi frowned, “What I want to tell you is, my brother has his ways with women, seemingly innocent and harmless on the surface but actually very scheming.

Many women are deceived by his appearance, I guess your cousin is probably one of them…”

“My beautiful cousin is not an easy one either, the two of them are actually well-suited.

It’s just…” Yang Ruxin sighed, “it’s just hard on my little aunt, her unrequited love, unfortunately, both you and your brother are heartless as two great rivers…”

Qi Jingyi’s mouth twitched slightly, “We’re eating, can we not talk about disgusting things?”

Yang Ruxin shrugged, “Besides, you as his older brother have a responsibility for the way he is…”

“In the Imperial Family, kinship is very faint,” Qi Jingyi suddenly sighed, “My mother died early, if it wasn’t for the Empress taking me in and Brother Crown Prince protecting me, I would have died a long time ago, my father probably wouldn’t even remember I am his son…” His tone carried a trace of sadness.

Yang Ruxin was stunned for a moment, feeling a bit sympathetic towards the guy, but she didn’t plan to continue feeling sad and instead gave him a blank look, “At least you were clothed in silk and fed with jade since childhood, not having to worry about hunger or cold.

Look at my family, we were barely surviving as well, and have you ever experienced the feeling of being so hungry you can’t sleep at night and still have to work nonstop the next day, looking at tree bark and wanting to nibble on it?

Have you gone through the feeling of several people cramming into a broken quilt, freezing to the point of numbness?”
