Xu Tingyu directly found the hotel butler and, on the pretext of Qi Ye being hospitalized, got Qi Ye's room card.
The butler knew her relationship with Qi Ye, so he didn't think much and just gave her the card.
After getting the card, she immediately went to his room and found all her passports and certificates, stuffing them into her bag.
When she was about to leave the room, she suddenly saw Qi Ye's computer.
As if possessed, she walked over.
The computer had a password, but it wasn't hard to guess - it was her birthday. After two tries, it was correct.
She couldn't really say what she was looking for when she opened the computer, but she felt it was a once - in - a - lifetime opportunity.
This was Qi Ye's work computer, and usually only Zhang Wan could access it.
After thinking for a while, she opened the folder and started looking through it bit by bit.
An hour later, she shut down the computer. When she walked out of Qi Ye's room, her head was in a daze.
If Qi Shifeng hadn't called her, she would have kept looking.
But for now, it was more important to go back to Kyoto first.
Because half an hour ago, the old master of the Qi family had fallen at home. By the time he was sent to the hospital, he was gone.
Now, not only Xu Tingyu had to go back to Kyoto, but everyone did.
Speaking of the reactions of the Qi family members after the old master's accident, they were all quite subtle.
Because of Xu Tingyu, Qi Shifeng hadn't seen the old master for a long time.
Later, Qi Ye publicly announced that Xu Tingyu was his fiancée and that the previous arranged marriage was all a show, which even angered the old master so much that he was hospitalized for a month.
But by then, he didn't have much power to compete with his two grandsons.
He could no longer call Qi Shifeng back and use family rules on him.
He couldn't even see his grandsons. The only one by his side was Liu Ning, who would only complain when something happened.
Most of the people he had left in the Qi Corporation had been cleared out by Qi Shifeng. He could no longer use the business as a threat.
So he remembered his granddaughter's goodness again.
However, he didn't know when exactly, but his granddaughter had also become estranged from him.
When he called her to come back for dinner, his call was always ignored.
Even when he sent someone to invite her directly, she would make all sorts of excuses.
Later, she simply went to work at a branch company.
Just a few days ago, the old master of the Qi family found out that she was pregnant.
With a bodyguard's child.
He didn't know why things had turned out like this in the end.
His three grandchildren were all excellent. Among the younger generation of the well - known families in Kyoto, they were definitely the best.
But they were all so confused when it came to marriage and relationships.
The two grandsons had fallen for the same woman.
The granddaughter was even more disappointing. She had fallen for a bodyguard!
And she was pregnant before marriage. If this got out, it would be so embarrassing.
The eldest daughter of the prestigious Qi family actually fell in love with a bodyguard!
And she kept saying it was true love.
Those who are too affectionate don't live long. Moreover, the law of the world has always been the survival of the fittest.
What's the use of being a lovesick fool? It would only be a laughingstock.
But he was old. When Qi Ruixi questioned him, "Grandpa, you've already ruined big brother and second brother. Do you want to ruin me too?"
He was actually at a loss for words.
If it had been in the past, he would definitely have slapped Qi Ruixi, then sent her to the hospital to have an abortion, and then imprisoned her at home.
She could only go out when she figured things out.
If she never did, then he would have to think about the fate of that little bodyguard.
Of course, no matter whether Qi Ruixi would figure things out or not, he would deal with that little bodyguard.
If the bodyguard was sensible, he would just cripple his hands and send him far away.
If the bodyguard wasn't, he would make him regret ever being born...
However, he was old.
Looking at Qi Ruixi's young and stubborn face with his cloudy eyes, he just felt powerless.
For some reason, he remembered his own son.
His only child, Qi Dezhi, had also fallen passionately in love with a girl when he was twenty.
But that girl had only used Qi Dezhi as a stepping - stone. Besides him, she was also entangled with two other men.
The old master of the Qi family didn't even need to use any special means. The girl's ambition was completely exposed.
The girl was quite straightforward. She told Qi Dezhi that she had never liked him.
She had only fancied the power and influence of the Qi family, and his looks were okay, but he was just too stupid.
He was just a typical playboy.
The old master didn't let this "outspoken" girl go, but he had to admit that there was some truth in what she said.
Qi Dezhi had no talent in business, and his mind was never on it.
Moreover, he was weak.
After being humiliated like this by the girl, instead of seeking revenge or giving her a good slap in the face, he just hid away and got drunk.
And after getting drunk, he even slit his wrists.
How ridiculous. The only heir of the Qi family was so devastated by a woman that he tried to kill himself.
The old master personally dealt with that woman. When he sent her on a plane to Southeast Asia, the woman's bruised face only had a crazy smile.
"You've raised a good - for - nothing. What's the use of having a big business? Even if you deal with me, there will be countless others like me."
"I'll just watch. I'll watch how miserable your Qi family will be."
These words were no less than a curse to him.
Later, as the girl had predicted, Qi Dezhi was just a good - for - nothing.
He dabbled in art and women, but he just couldn't make money.
He just lay on the smooth path his father had paved for him and didn't even want to take a step forward.
In the middle of the night, when the old master of the Qi family woke up from his dreams, he would always remember the girl's blood - shot eyes and those two sentences.
If Qi Dezhi was no good, then he would train the next generation.
In any case, the Qi family must not fail.
The business empire he had painstakingly built must not collapse.
So he carefully selected a daughter - in - law, Liu Ning.
Liu Ning came from a scholarly family. Although she was mediocre in talent, she was obedient and easy to control.
Moreover, he had someone check their horoscopes and was told that Liu Ning was fertile and would bring good luck to her husband.
So he arranged for Qi Dezhi to marry Liu Ning.
After marriage, they did have three children.
Although Qi Dezhi didn't change his ways but became even more of a playboy, the old master had already placed his hopes on his grandchildren.
Qi Ye was in poor health and too gentle - hearted. So he was sent far away to be trained to be cold - blooded and ruthless.
Qi Shifeng was healthy and smart, but he was too unruly. So whatever he disliked, he would be given. His temper would be tamed, and his edge would be dulled.
Didn't he dislike arranged marriages? Didn't he dislike Xu Tingyu?
Well, he would make him marry her.
Run away from the wedding?
Sure. He would send Qi Ye, who liked Xu Tingyu, to bring the person back himself.
In one move, he would break the hearts of two people.
He wanted an excellent heir, and more importantly, an obedient one who would take "developing the Qi Corporation" as the highest belief.
As for Qi Ruixi, a delicate young lady, she was naturally the best candidate for an arranged marriage in the future.
So she didn't need to learn too much. She could just be a not - so - smart but beautiful vase.
