Marrying the big shot (translated novel)

28: The Qi Family

Shu Zimu knew of Xue Lin's confinement the next day. He also received compensation from Xue Li— A credit card with a monthly limit of $200,000!

"You can use it next time you go on a date with Young Master Qi. If it's not enough, you can ask Dad." Xue Li spoke kindly, and soon revealed his purpose: "What's the situation of the project Young Master Qi mentioned?"


Shu Zimu laughed grimly in his heart, but behaved indifferently on the surface: "I'm not sure, it seems to be about building a resort or something, he said it's one of Shian's high-quality projects and ready for investment."


Xue Li was more tempted, he remembered that Qi Yan had said this project had the same prospects as Hanhui Road. Since it was prepared as compensation, it should be more profitable than the project for Hanhui Road and Qi Yan would give him a discount. He thought of what a profit this was and couldn't keep calm. Then, recalling how Xue Lin's joke wasted such a great opportunity, Xue Li itched to go back to Xue Lin yesterday and give her a slap.


"Zimu, Dad is sorry for us misunderstanding you, can you ask Young Master Qi to meet with Dad in person to apologise to him?" Xue Li eagerly asked.


Shu Zimu knew that he wanted to get an opportunity to ask about the project, and thought he had taken the bait. He pretended to impatiently frown and said: "After I spoke, he doesn't agree and doesn't look for me anymore."


"I definitely don't blame you!" Xue Li smiled: "It's Dad who let you down, how could I blame you." Xue Li felt that Qi Yan only targeted Yao Yue and Xue Lin's play, he wouldn't go as far as to not give him face.


As expected, Shu Zimu informed him that Qi Yan agreed the next day and, arranged for a meeting next week.


In the past few days, it happened to be time for the release of college entrance exam scores and for examinees to fill in their applications.


Qi Yan appeared more nervous than Shu Zimu, who knew the results a long time again. He even sent Shu Zimu several articles, like 'College Entrance Exam Results Don't Mean Everything' and other chicken soup, which contrasted with his image.


Shu Zimu looked at Qi Yan's constant, calm expression and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, the feeling of being taken care of by others was truly wonderful, Shu Zimu hasn't felt it since Shu Qing passed away. When he saw Qi Yan's deliberate cold look, he had to suppress his laughter and his eyes turned red.


Qi Yan was startled: "You didn't do well?"


Qi Yan hurriedly consoled: "It doesn't matter if you don't have a good exam score. You don't need a high score to learn screenwriting, and if it's really impossible, you can repeat the year and take the art exam."


Qi Yan's nervousness was finally exposed, and Shu Zimu laughed, "No, it's okay and I can show it off."


Qi Yan suddenly relaxed. Shu Zimu's grades were good, he normally averaged more than 600 points, so there was no problem getting into a high-ranked university. Qi Yan looked at the screenshots sent by Shu Zimu, he had a total score of 622.


"This score can get you in the department of Drama, Film and Television Literature of Communication University." Qi Yan spoke quickly. He had read the information that was sorted out for Shu Zimu. This was the most suitable college for him.


Shu Zimu nodded, "En, my first choice is Communication University."


He had an idea, so Shu Zimu already figured out what to fill in on his application, and after a few conversations with Qi Yan, he settled on it. After the application was sent, Shu Zimu and Qi Yan began to get busy with the wedding.


First, they have to pick wedding rings and wedding clothes.


These things weren't bothersome, neither he nor Qi Yan were picky. They finished this within a day and went to Communication University for a stroll.


Soon afterwards Shu Zimu faced the first thing that made him nervous after his rebirth—The Qi Family invited him over as a guest. He wasn't invited into Qi Yan's lonely house but to the main house of the Qi Family, where Qi Yan's paternal grandparents lived.


As the Qi Family was the wealthiest in Jing City, their family tree was exceptionally simple. Qi Yan's paternal grandmother gave birth to two sons and a daughter: The eldest son was Qi Mingguang, the second was Qi Minghui and the daughter was Qi Shulan. Qi Mingguang entered politics and has a son named, Qi Heng. The son followed in his father's footsteps, and Qi Heng was a young and promising political star. Qi Minghui has two sons, the eldest was Qi Yan and the youngest was Qi Yao, who just turned fourteen, Qi Shulan's husbands didn't come from a rich family, but from a well-off academic family. The couple were loving and happy with a daughter and lived well.


The Qi Family has a few cousins, all with large age gaps. Qi Heng was thirty-five years old, married with a six-year-old daughter. Qi Yan was ten years younger, at twenty-five and about to get married. Then it's Qi Yan, who is another ten years younger and a second-year junior in middle school.


This time Shu Zimu went to Qi Family's house, other than Qi Minghui and Bai Xinlan, Qi Yan's grandparents and even his brother-in-law and brother-in-law's wife would be there. Also, Qi Heng's entire family and Qi Yao would be there too. Except for Qi Shulan's family, who wasn't in Jing City, everyone else would all be present. He knew the Qi Family wouldn't embarrass him, but Shu Zimu still felt pressure from having to face such a big family alone.


Towards his and Qi Yan's marriage, everyone who saw wanted to say 'door was unsuitable, the family was wrong', they didn't freely choose each other and married for benefits. This made Shu Zimu feel slightly guilty about facing the Qi Family, obviously, he has more gains.


Shu Zimu's nervousness was seen by Qi Yan, he wanted to soothe him with a few words but didn't know what to say. He decided to give Xuexue to him when he picked him up, so Shu Zimu could calm down by rubbing the cat.


Xuexue's leg has recovered well, the plaster was removed and the shaved hair grew more beautiful and neat. It felt a lot better to the touch.




Shu Zimu rubbed the whole way through, he rubbed until Xuexue meowed to protest. Luckily, he had become fairly calm.


The Qi Family's main house was located in a large courtyard where the relatives lived together. The simple and unadorned appearance hid what was inside, the people who came and go here were nearly all influential figures.


Bai Xinlan stood at the door to greet them, there was a young man with a happy expression beside her, he should be Qi Yao. Qi Yan stepped on the brake and told Shu Zimu to get off first.


"Zimu is here," Bai Xinlan pulled Shu Zimu away, and told the young man on the side: "Yaoyao, come, call Brother Zimu."


The youth smiled brightly: "Hi Brother Zimu, I'm Qi Yao." Qi Yao looked delicate and has a delicate nickname. He seemed clever and cute on both the inside and outside, he was sure to be liked by the elders.


"Hi." Shu Zimu smiled at him. He saw the other party staring at Xuexue lying in his arms, and suddenly felt Qi Yan and his younger brother may look completely different on the outside, they had something in common. Seeing Qi Yao's envious gaze, Shu Zimu's nervousness reduced a lot.


"Would you like to touch it?" Shu Zimu passed Xuexue over with a smile. Qi Yao's eyes instantly shone and quickly reached out. But, when he was about to touch it, the cat was gone.


Qi Yao turned to see, "Mom!" It turned out Bai Xinlan had carried Xuexue over.


"Xiao Bai, do you miss Aunty?" Bai Xinlan rubbed Xuexue while questioning it. Qi Yan, who had parked the car, came over at this moment. He heard her words, and told Bai Xinlan seriously: "Mom, you messed up the seniority, you should call yourself 'grandma'. Also, its name is Chu Xue. You can call it Xuexue too, not Xiao Bai."


"It's Aunty! It's called Xiao Bai!" Bai Xinlan rolled her eyes at her eldest son, "You see when I call it Xiao Bai, it still reacts!"


Qi Yan wanted to discuss the truth with Bai Xinlan and argue for what's right, when Qi Yao promptly said: "Mom, don't stand at the door, let Brother Zimu come in."


His mother is really! She's clearly angered by her elder brother every day and wants to argue with him each time. When she's finished, she'll go to his dad or him to talk about it. His brother is also! Can't he be more stable in front of his wife? He's not afraid of being rejected!


He's undoubtedly the youngest, but these two got more childish with each match. Qi Yao felt he was truly worrying too much.
