Chapter 926: Chapter 554: The ”Neglected” Master Huo, Qiqi’s Joy Turns to Sorrow (3 Updates)Qi Zeyan didn’t want to agree to him at all.

Because with that kind of requirement, he can’t find a house, if there was no garage requirement, it wouldn’t be a problem to find not just one house, but even ten.

Just getting a big garage is very difficult.

But after a few drinks, coupled with someone enthusiastically hyping him up, praising him beyond compare, he dizzily agreed.

The next day after waking up, he regretted it terribly, and it turned out Jiang Chengsi had recorded both video and audio, saying if he didn’t agree, he would post the video online.

Qi Zeyan was so enraged he was fuming, even carried his anger into work, to the extent he didn’t even want to bother with the club they had set up together.

When Xiaozhu mentioned going to the club, Qi Zeyan snapped:

”Don’t ever tell me anything about him again!”

Then the whole company knew the boss’s frustration and anger lately was because of Jiang Fourth Master. With lots of people and gossip in the company, the news spread quickly, and by the time it got online, it turned into:

[Young Master Qi is at odds with Jiang Fourth Master.]

Which led to a more serious consequence, that while exercising, someone unexpectedly tore their ankle ligaments.

...

Ruan Mengxi was also there at the time, witnessing his injury firsthand, watching as his ankle quickly swelled and turned red with blood congestion, she was terrified, and the coach helped with emergency measures, like applying a cold compress, but finally, it was decided to send him to the hospital.

After some treatment, he was to be observed in the hospital for a week and advised against doing any strenuous exercise for the time being.

The doctor also gave Ruan Mengxi some precautions to note, which she noted down one by one.

”Other than that, there’s nothing much. If it makes you feel better, go get an X-ray tomorrow. It should be alright.”

”Thank you, doctor.” Ruan Mengxi was busy running around, and upon returning to the ward, Qi Zeyan was lifting the blanket, trying to get out of bed.

”Boss, what are you doing? The doctor said you should refrain from leaving the bed!” Ruan Mengxi hurried over to support him.

”I’m just going to the bathroom. I’m not crippled, I don’t need help.”

Though they were in a superior-subordinate relationship, there were still differences between men and women.

He had just finished a workout, and his legs were still sore and swollen, so he could only put weight on one leg. Seemingly unable to bear his body weight, he had to stumble and lean against the wall to move forward.

”Let me help you.” Ruan Mengxi was truly worried he’d get hurt again, so she reached out to support his arm to give him some stability.

”I’ll call Xiaozhu later. Once he arrives, you can leave.”

Ruan Mengxi said nothing.

”By the way, you didn’t tell my family about this, did you?”

”No.” Ruan Mengxi shook her head, ”But...”

”But what?”

”I mentioned it to Wanwan when we were chatting before.”

”...”

Tang Wan, upon hearing of Qi Zeyan’s injury, was bound to tell Jiang Jinsang, and coincidentally, they were having dinner at the ancestral house that night, so the news quickly spread among the Jiang Family.

The Qi Family surely couldn’t keep it under wraps either.

Old Master Qi hurriedly came to the hospital, and before Qi Zeyan could react, he was directly given a leave of absence.

”For this period, don’t worry about work, just focus on getting better.”

”Grandpa, I can still work.”

”In this state, you still want to go to the office? Limping into the company, people might think I’m mistreating you or abusing my grandson. Besides recuperating, you should also concern yourself with finding a wife.” ”...”

Suspension to rest was false; finding a wife was the true goal.

Old Master Qi was anxious; even someone like Huo Qinqi, who can’t speak a word, found a wife. How could his lively and adorable grandson have no one?

He long wanted Qi Zeyan to focus on his personal life, but he always used work as an excuse to brush it off. Well, now...

With an injured leg, he naturally had to give him time off.

So a bizarre phenomenon emerged:

The grandson injured his leg, but the grandfather was delighted.

Qi Zeyan lay face up on the bed, feeling utterly powerless.

In his heart, he cursed a certain damn star a hundred times.

Jiang Chengsi, you’ve really caused me trouble.

Then, early the next morning, someone rode a motorcycle into the hospital room with a big bunch of sunflowers.
