"Of course I want to have a good talk. However, I'd like to remind you of one thing," said Qi Shifeng.
"I came in on my own, not because you invited me."
Although Qi Shifeng was sitting in a wheelchair, his whole demeanor was still noble and composed, exuding an overwhelming sense of pressure.
He didn't come in at someone's invitation. Instead, he had his car ram open the villa's main gate and walked in on his own.
Right now, a group of Qi Ye's bodyguards and the men he had brought were still in a standoff downstairs.
The men he brought were mercenaries found through Zou Yu. Facing them, Qi Ye's bodyguards didn't dare to act rashly.
When Qi Shifeng was wheeled in by Jiang Li, his first words were, "Qi Ye, long time no see."
Sitting in the wheelchair, he looked thinner than before. But his eyes were as black as ink, as if they could see through people's hearts at a glance.
Qi Ye didn't expect him to find this place, and in such a way. He immediately frowned and asked,
"They said you were injured and lost your memory. How are you now?"
Actually, what he really wanted to ask was about Qi Shifeng's trip to the UK. Why hadn't he received any information in advance?
Were those people who were supposed to keep an eye on him in the country just good - for - nothings?
Qi Shifeng didn't answer directly. Instead, he countered, "So, are you concerned about my memory loss or worried that I didn't lose my memory?"
Qi Ye met his gaze and found his calm demeanor extremely annoying.
But right now, the manpower was unequal. Although he had the home - field advantage, he could only suppress his emotions for the time being and put on a smiling face.
"What are you talking about? Although we've reached this point and there's bound to be estrangement between us, I'm still your elder brother after all."
"I can overlook the fact that you barged through my gate with your men today."
"Otherwise, you know that here, if you break into a private residence, I'd be reasonable and legal to kill you in self - defense."
"From now on, you can stay in Jingdu, and I'll develop here. We can just stay out of each other's way."
Hearing these words, Qi Shifeng seemed to have heard a joke. The corner of his mouth twitched upward, but his delicate eyebrows remained tightly knitted.
"Overlook it? In self - defense? Are you saying that I need your forgiveness for the things you did before, like kidnapping my child and seriously injuring me?"
"Qi Ye, I don't know if there's something wrong with your brain. Your logic is so messed up and your words are so confused."
His eyes gradually darkened. Looking at Qi Ye, it was as if he were sizing up a dying man.
Qi Ye hated it most when others looked at him with such a gaze.
But just as he was about to flare up, he saw the mercenary behind Qi Shifeng take a step forward.
Obviously, in this situation, if the conflict escalated, he wouldn't get any benefit.
So he restrained his anger and still maintained a gentle smile. "You didn't come here just to quarrel with me, did you?"
Going through so much trouble to avoid those eyes and find this place directly. Was he really suffering from amnesia?
But the next second, Qi Shifeng coldly said, "I want to see them."
It was self - evident who "them" referred to here.
Although Qi Ye was reluctant, he had no reason to refuse now.
As long as he still had Youyou under his control, he would still be the winner in this matter.
Thinking of this, he nodded. "Sure. Tingyu is upstairs. She should be resting. I can take you up, but you can't disturb her."
He said these words so tenderly, as if he really doted on her to the core.
Qi Shifeng pursed his lips and still reminded him, "She's still my wife for now."
This damned possessiveness.
Qi Ye shrugged. "Not for long."
The two of them locked eyes for a moment, their expressions complex.
But soon they averted their gazes.
Then, the group went upstairs.
No one expected the scene in Xu Tingyu's room.
Qi Ye didn't expect her to say such things, let alone that she would smash the window.
As for whether those words were sincere and whether she smashed the window to escape, he didn't want to think about it in detail.
After all, it was enough that everyone had heard those words.
Now, the three of them were sitting in the study, keeping a certain distance from each other.
Originally, Qi Ye wanted to sit next to Xu Tingyu.
But the cold and disgusted look she gave him made him feel inexplicably guilty, so he sat behind the desk.
Xu Tingyu and Qi Shifeng each occupied a sofa, also sitting quite far apart.
"Since that's the case, let's talk about compensation. Shifeng, I know that Qi Corporation has been going through a tough time recently. With this scandal out, you're in a more passive position."
"To show my and Tingyu's apologies, I'm willing to transfer all my shares in Qi Corporation to you for free."
"I can also guarantee that I won't return to Jingdu for the next ten years."
"You know, people's memories aren't that good. As time passes, they'll naturally forget everything."
The shares he held in Qi Corporation were not a small amount. The annual dividends would be enough for him to live a care - free life for the rest of his life.
But now, he was actually willing to transfer them for free.
This not only surprised Qi Shifeng but also Xu Tingyu.
However, Xu Tingyu was surprised because she wondered if this man was up to some new bad tricks and was using the shares as a bait.
Seeing that the two of them had the same surprised little movements of raising their eyebrows first and then pursing their lips, Qi Ye felt an indescribable irritation.
His expression changed several times, and finally he took a deep breath before speaking again.
"However, I also have a request. I want you to sign the divorce application immediately and give up the custody of Youyou."
"At that time, I'll publicly announce that Youyou is my child, and you and Tingyu are innocent. You only got married for some reasons before."
"Actually, you love someone else. Youyou is my child. We're just putting everything back on track."
He had actually thought about it for a long time. Since Xu Tingyu insisted on not giving up Youyou, he would get the custody of Youyou into his hands.
He had even had people prepare the online public opinion materials.
It was nothing more than something like this:
"Qi Ye was in poor health when he was born. The master said that he couldn't get married or have children before he was thirty, or he would bring bad luck to his wife and children."
"So, out of desperation, the Qi family had to let the younger brother replace the elder brother in the wedding. In fact, it was just a show, and the child was registered under Qi Shifeng's name."
"When Qi Shifeng and Xu Tingyu were married, there were always rumors that they had a bad relationship, which was also true because they really had no feelings for each other."
"Qi Shifeng was in love with Xie Yu. Otherwise, why would he have helped and promoted her so much back then?"
"Unfortunately, Xie Yu passed away early. Their love story had no perfect ending, which made the living person suddenly wake up and decide to put everything back on track."
"True love can overcome all difficulties. Xu Tingyu doesn't believe that Qi Ye will bring bad luck to his wife and children. She decides to fight against fate."
