I Am Rich

22

Guan Zhiyi had thought that her breakup with Hua Hongxi would soon be known by her family, but what she didn't expect was that it would be so fast ......

She had something in her heart last night and went to bed late, it was already almost noon when she woke up the next day.

After waking up, she called the helper to come up. Auntie helped her to dress and wash up, and waited until she was about to leave the room to say,"Miss Guan, we have guests at home today."

"A guest?" Not many people knew she was here now, and Hua Hongxi wouldn't have come to her this soon after last night's incident, so where is this guest coming from.

Seeing her puzzled expression, auntie explained: "It's Mister's guest."

"He's at home?"

"It was too late last night, so mister slept here."

"Oh……"

Guan Zhiyi really doesn't know that Qi Chengyan didn't leave yesterday,"Then can you help me to go downstairs."

"Okay."

Guan Zhiyi didn't expect the guest to be Guan Yuanbai. When she saw him, her first thought was to quickly run upstairs. But she is now a handicapped person, when Guan Yuanbai looked up, she couldn't even turn around.

"Brother." While looking at each other, Guan Zhiyi called out in an embarrassed voice.

"You--" At a glance, Guan Yuanbai saw her leg that was in a cast, he was anxious and distressed for a moment, not knowing what to say first.

"Why are you here?"After saying that, Guan Zhiyi looked at Qi Chengyan who was sitting on the sofa. The latter said, "He knows that you broke up with Hong Xi and wants to find you."

Qi Chengyan said it like this so Guan Zhiyi can understand right away. If her brother made a big deal and went to the set, he will eventually find out where she went, so rather than squander time in between, Qi Chengyan must have told him directly.

"How dare you to ask me why I'm here, why didn't you say a word even though your leg was hurt like this? You don't tell me anything, Guan Zhiyi, did you put me in your eyes or not."

Guan Zhiyi grunted in a small voice: "I'm still standing .....Can you wait for me to sit down before lecturing."

Guan Yuanbai gritted his teeth in anger, but still gave way and let someone help her sit down.

"I wouldn't have known that you were injured if you hadn't broken up. You're really good, you know how to hide here, why, do you think I'm a scourge that will beat and scold you when I see you hurt?"

Guan Zhiyi touched her ears, "More or less..."

"What did you say?"

Guan Zhiyi turned her head away and said nothing.

Seeing this, Guan Yuanbai immediately wanted to say something more, but Qi Chengyan on the side raised his hand and touched his arm. Guan Yuanbai paused, turned his head to look, then saw Qi Chengyan gave him a facial expression that signalled him to control himself.

Guan Yuanbai took a light breath and remembered that he initially approached her knowing that she had broken up, and he had just heard Qi Chengyan say that his sister had cried a lot last night because of it.

So he needed to think about her gloomy mood and restrain himself.

"Sir, lunch is ready, you can eat now." Just then, the helper came and asked.

Qi Chengyan knew that Guan Zhiyi got up late and didn't eat her breakfast: "Okay, let's eat first and talk about other things."

Guan Yuanbai snorted coldly, got up and walked towards the dining room.

Qi Chengyan walked to Guan Zhiyi and reached out to help her, but Guan Zhiyi refused him, "Let Auntie come."

Qi Chengyan paused slightly and stared at her. The little girl's eyes were red and swollen, the dark circles under her eyes were a bit heavy, it seemed that she must have cried secretly again when she went back to her room last night.

Qi Chengyan slowly withdrew his hand, remembering what happened last night in the study.

He had seen her crying, but he had never seen her cry like that. Obviously there was a strong grievance and sadness in her eyes, but she still insisted on concealing everything, terribly stubborn.

"Help Miss to go to the dining room, be careful."

"Yes."

The three of them soon took their seats in the dining room.

Guan Yuanbai was actually worried about Guan Zhiyi. She is his only sister, he worries about her more than anyone else. When he thought that his sister could still be dumped by other boys, he was so angry that he become furious. 

"When will you come home?" Guan Yuanbai asked, holding back his anger.

"I have to go back to filming after I'm healed, there's still about a week of scenes left."

"Come home for a few days when you're done."

Guan Zhiyi was stunned, didn't expect Guan Yuanbai to not say something like "what's there to shoot".

She nodded her head unexpectedly: "Well, okay."

Guan Yuanbai: "Then you just stay here from now on, anyway, there are people to take care of you, moving around is not good for your injury."

"Okay ......"

Guan Yuanbai looked at her and put a dish on her plate, "Eat more, you're so thin."

Guan Yuanbai and Qi Chengyan were both tacitly agreed not to mention Hua Hongxi matter, later, both of them deliberately didn’t speak about it. So Guan Yuanbai only chatted with Qi Chengyan. 

"I heard that Miss Yang's family has settled down on your family and become your fiance?"

Guan Zhiyi's hand holding chopsticks slightly stalled, after a quick glance at Qi Chengyan, she lowered her head to pinch the rice in the bowl.

"Fiancee? Who sealed it?"

Guan Yuanbai laughed: "Who else? Of course, it's your grandpa who did it."

Qi Chengyan said: "The old man is probably the one who spread it outside. He wants to create some public opinion to suppress me."

"Why, you don't agree?"

"Agree with what, which Miss Yang do I know very well?"

Guan Yuanbai seemed to expect him to say this:"But I see that this girl seems to like you a lot, she would definitely willing to be your fiancee."

"I guess you also have a lot of people who is willing to be your fiancee, If they are willing, you want it?"

Guan Yuanbai: "Oh."

They, what are they talking about?

Guan Zhiyi lowered her head to eat, a little confused.

"Why are you eating so fast?" Qi Chengyan suddenly asked.

This was said to Guan Zhiyi, and after he said that, Guan Yuanbai also looked towards Guan Zhiyi. At a glance, he saw that his own sister, who had always been slow to eat, was stuffing her mouth like she hadn't eaten in hundreds of days.

Guan Zhiyi: "Huh?"

Qi Chengyan smiled and handed her a tissue:"If you eat like this, you will easily make your brother suspect that I have been abusing you during this period of time, you know."

Guan Zhiyi took the tissue and stared straight at Qi Chengyan.

Qi Chengyan was puzzled by her stare: "What?"

Guan Zhiyi swallowed hard, it seemed that the wheels in her brain slowly began to work.

Did he just say that he didn't know Yang Mengjia well? He also doesn't agree with Yang Mengjia being his fiancée?

Wait, doesn't he like that person?

"Is my face blooming?" Qi Chengyan asked Guan Yuanbai.

Guan Yuanbai shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

Guan Zhiyi swallowed what was in her mouth, carelessly wiped her mouth with a napkin, couldn't wait to ask: "You, don't you like Yang Mengjia."

Qi Chengyan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Who told you that?"

Guan Zhiyi froze, unexpectedly speechless for a while. Who told her? Hua Hongxi? Or is it Grandpa Qi?

Wait, it seemed Qi Chengyan really never said that he liked Yang Mengjia.

"I, I thought you would definitely like her after the blind dates. Moreover, Sister Yun told me that Yang Mengjia had been to Yixing ......"

Qi Chengyan: "So you're gossiping about me."

"I'm not ...... just happen to hear others mention it."

Qi Chengyan said: "No, who told you that a blind date means like? You think I'm like you little kids."

"I also--" Guan Zhiyi stalled.

"You also what?"

"I, I ...... nothing." Guan Zhiyi glanced at Guan Yuanbai and swallowed back the rest of the words.

She wanted to say that she wasn't like that either! She didn't fall in love just after a blind date! She didn't fall in love with Hua Hongxi at first sight, they were just pretending!

But, Guan Yuanbai was staring at her so she couldn't say anything for a while!

Guan Zhiyi's heart was beating wildly, for a moment she felt that her whole body was in a mess, and the tears she shed last night seemed to have become water in her own head**. Why is she so stupid? Why didn't she dare to ask more questions?

(**mean someone who is being stupid or confused, did something wrong)

The corners of Guan Zhiyi's mouth began to rise uncontrollably as she squeezed her chopsticks.

But it should be weird to smile now, right?

She pursed her lips and worked hard to manage her facial expressions.

Can't smile, can't smile ......

But what to do, so happy ......

He surprisingly doesn't have a person that he likes yet…..

"You, don't think about other people's feelings now, you have to take care of your own first, and, in the future, don't be head over heels after just a few meetings." Guan Yuanbai said helplessly, "I really don't know what's going on in your head, you little brat."

"Oh!"

Qi Chengyan: "Don't just oh, he's right, this matter must be kept in mind."

"I will." Guan Zhiyi put a dish on Qi Chengyan's plate and smiled at him, "Thank you, brother."

Surprisingly, she smiled?

Qi Chengyan was a little bit astonished, but after the astonishment, his heart was happy again. The way she looked before made him feel uneasy, so at this time seeing her smile, the string that had been tauted slightly loosened.

Perhaps ...... after all she's still a little kid, love is a thing that comes and goes quickly?

Guan Yuanbai: "Ahem!"

Guan Zhiyi turned her head, looked at Guan Yuanbai, then immediately reacted and gave him a piece of meat: "Thank my own brother, too, for specially coming to see me."

Guan Yuanbai gave a hum, barely satisfied.

After eating, Guan Yuanbai had something to do and left first. Qi Chengyan stayed at home for a little longer, but because of work, he had to go out after receiving a few phone calls.

Guan Zhiyi had actually been secretly looking at him. and now after seeing him get up, she quickly called out:"Brother, are you going out."

"Mm."

"Then when will you be back?"

Qi Chengyan: "What's the matter?"

"I, I want you to bring me supper."

"Supper?"

After Guan Zhiyi finished speaking, she immediately wanted to punch herself. What a lame excuse.

Qi Chengyan smiled: "It's rare, you can actually eat supper."

"...... it's just an occasional indulgence."

"What do you want to eat?"

Guan Zhi thought about it, and remembered something that her friend Song Qiaofei had mentioned before: "Thirteen-flavored crayfish on Chenguan Road!"

Qi Chengyan stayed last night because he was worried about her, however he didn't have any plan to come back today.

On one hand, socializing may drag on until late at night, and on the other hand, there was a little girl living at home, so it is not very good for him to live with her.

"I'll wait for you, it's okay to be late, I went to bed late anyway." Guan Zhiyi said again while he hesitated.

The person who was always afraid of getting fat wanted to eat supper. Which is probably because she wanted to relieve pressure from a broken relationship.

Qi Chengyan's eyes were a little distressed. He raised his hand and rubbed her head. With a soft heart, he agreed: "Okay, I'll buy it for you tonight."

"Um!"
