Chapter 260 Color ranking is second.
Qi Feixue looked at her younger brother with anticipation, her tone slightly pleading as she said, "Axiong, if you really become the heir of the Qi family, I hope you can let me, your own sister, also enter the company's management and give me a position so I can train myself."
She was indignant at being provoked by Jiang Youli tonight. Why couldn't she contribute to the development of the Qi family? She felt that as long as she wanted to, she could definitely become a woman like Duan Shuheng, who commanded the respect of men!
Qi Shaoxiong hadn't expected his sister to make such a request. After hesitating for a moment, he hummed in agreement. "Alright, as long as I successfully become the heir of the Qi family, it means that the entire Qi family's business will belong to our family. You can have whatever position you want."
impossible.
He wouldn't allow his sister to enter the core management team. Who knows if, after tasting power, his sister might develop the same inappropriate thoughts as Qi Yue?
Qi Feixue was oblivious to her younger brother's ambiguous expression, instead basking in the joy of receiving his promise.
She was already looking forward to the day when her younger brother would become the heir of the Qi family!
……
"You can have the kitchen serve the food now." Jiang Youli pushed Qi Huan and Grandpa Qi to the dining room, and Grandpa Qi instructed the housekeeper.
The butler nodded, then looked down at the miniature walkie-talkie on his collar and said, "Serve the dishes."
Grandpa Qi sat down, handed his cane to the butler, and looked at Jiang Youli sitting next to his grandson with kind eyes: "Speaking of which, this is the first time you've dined alone with me and Qi Huan, Xiaoli."
“Yes.” Jiang Youli nodded. “It was always a banquet before.”
Grandpa Qi said, "Our chef here isn't some star chef hired from abroad. He's an old chef from Qi Huan's grandmother's hometown. Because Qi Huan's grandmother married far away, I was worried that she wouldn't be used to the food in Beijing, so I specially hired him at a high salary. The taste is the best in the area. However, the old chef has retired, and now his son continues to cook for us here. The taste has been inherited by him to about 70 or 80 percent."
Jiang Youli smiled expectantly and said, "Then I will definitely try it."
When all the dishes were served, Jiang Youli was stunned. Almost every dish contained chili peppers, which was indeed very different from the taste in Beijing.
Qi Huan explained with a smile, "Grandma was a fiery woman when she was young. No one within a hundred miles could bully her."
"So you've been eating this spicy food all along?" Jiang Youli asked curiously, picking up her chopsticks and trying a plate of stir-fried pork with chili peppers.
The spiciness in her mouth made her feel both excited and uncomfortable. She prided herself on being able to handle spicy food, but she still felt ashamed of herself and tears welled up in her eyes.
Qi Huan picked up the kettle, poured her a glass of warm water, and pushed it in front of her, explaining, "I didn't eat with Grandma like this for many years. I didn't live in the old house when I was little. After I moved in, Grandma passed away a few years later. Later, whenever Grandpa missed Grandma, he would specially instruct the kitchen to make these spicy dishes that Grandma loved to eat when she was alive."
Jiang Youli understood, picked up her water glass, and took a sip to dilute the spiciness.
In the circles of the wealthy, there are countless men who keep mistresses, but in the Qi family, all the children of Qi Huan's father's generation were born to Old Master Qi's first wife, and there were no illegitimate children.
It's clear that Mr. Qi truly loved his first wife.
Taking this opportunity, Old Master Qi said, "Xiao Li, from now on you will be my grandson Qi Huan's wife. There are some things I want to make clear to you."
Jiang Youli put down her water glass, picked up another dish of Sichuan-style chicken, and said, "Grandpa Qi, please feel free to tell me what's on your mind."
After saying that, she put the chicken, which was covered in chili oil, into her mouth.
Compared to Jiang Youli, Old Master Qi ate much more calmly. He said, "In a top-tier wealthy family like ours with so many descendants, it's difficult to achieve true harmony. Even if I don't hand over all the family assets to Qi Huan, the other descendants will still feel unbalanced. I chose Jiang Yonghe as Qi Huan's wife before because I thought she was known as the most talented woman in Beijing's social circle and should be able to help Qi Huan manage the Qi family."
"But you were my grandson Qi Huan's own choice. After Qi Huan's accident, the Jiang family took advantage of his misfortune and wanted to bring you back to marry Qi Huan in place of Jiang Yonghe. I originally planned to break off the engagement directly, but after Qi Huan came back, he told me that he agreed to continue the marriage alliance with the Jiang family. At first, I couldn't understand why, but after seeing you at the welcome banquet, I understood why he liked you."
"To be honest, even if Qi Huan's legs were crippled, I never thought of changing the position of heir. But being crippled would still be a great obstacle for Qi Huan to take power. So the reason I wasn't angry tonight about you poisoning my granddaughter is because I know my grandson Qi Huan needs you. I want to use you so that my grandson can firmly hold power in the Qi family."
Upon hearing this, Qi Huan's eyes darkened, and she solemnly said, "Grandpa, you don't need to worry too much. I can handle the Qi family's affairs myself."
He never intended to take advantage of Jiang Youli.
He married her simply because he loved her.
Despite being overwhelmed by the spiciness, Jiang Youli forced a serious expression and said, "Grandpa Qi, you're exaggerating. I treated Huanhuan's leg injury not for any other purpose, but because I am both her fiancée and a doctor. Even if Huanhuan were just an ordinary patient of mine, as long as I have the ability to treat her and you can provide the compensation I need, I will definitely help her. This cannot be called exploitation."
She paused for a moment, then smiled with satisfaction and said, "Moreover, just thinking about Huanhuan's beautiful face belonging to me in the future makes me very happy to help."
Seeing that her face was red from the spiciness but she was still joking, Qi Huan couldn't help but laugh and refilled her water bottle, saying gently, "If it's too spicy, don't keep eating it. Eat the other non-spicy dishes instead."
"It's okay, it's spicy, but it's really delicious!" Jiang Youli shook her head to indicate that it was alright, and her chopsticks were already reaching for another dish.
Qi Huan smiled helplessly yet indulgently, and did not stop her.
Grandpa Qi sighed, "You are just like Qi Huan's mother in this respect. Back then, his mother took a liking to my good-for-nothing son, Qi Tianxiang, because of his face."
Jiang Youli smiled slightly and said, "That's normal. As the ancients said, food and sex are human nature, but sex is ranked second."
After hearing this, Grandpa Qi couldn't help but scrutinize his grandson and commented, "Looking at it this way, your father Qi Tianxiang has indeed wronged you in many ways, but the only thing he did right was probably passing on such a handsome face to you."
Qi Huan gave a faint smile, tinged with bitterness, "That's true."
Upon learning that Qi Huan was going to play chess with Old Master Qi, Jiang Youli did not immediately return to the Jiang family after dinner, but watched with great interest from the side.
Qi Huan's posture while playing chess was exceptionally relaxed. He leaned back slightly, the black pieces in his hand twirling between his long, beautiful fingers like leaping sprites.
His gaze was focused and profound; each move he made seemed to be the result of careful consideration, yet it also carried a casual and unrestrained air.
His handsome face was even more defined under the light, with a high nose bridge, deep eyes, and slightly upturned corners of his mouth, all of which made Jiang Youli's heart flutter.
Especially when he placed the chess piece, Jiang Youli felt her heart tremble, as if each black piece had fallen into the lake of her heart, stirring up ripples.
The thought that this excessively handsome man in front of her belonged to her, and that she would be able to have close physical contact with him in the future, filled Jiang Youli with an indescribable excitement.
The feeling was both sweet and a little shy, and she couldn't help but bite her lip gently, afraid that she would burst out laughing.
