Chapter Thirty-Four The Two Were Quite Suitable

  When Xuán Qí walked to the village entrance, he found a familiar figure standing under the big tree at the entrance of the village.

  "Xiao Yu, what brings you here?"

  Xuan Qi did not expect that Xia Xiao Yu would actually appear at the village entrance.

  Xia Xiaoyu saw Xuan Qi return, just like a virtuous and gentle little wife, hastily taking over Xuan Qi's backpack and luggage, saying: "I'm here specifically to wait for you. Grandpa Xuan said that you should be back today, so I came to pick you up to have dinner at my place."

  Xuan Qi refused Xia Xiao Yu's kindness. As a grown man, he couldn't let a young girl help him carry his luggage. Upon hearing this, he asked: "What about my grandfather?"

  "Grandpa Xuan is at my home, we are about to have dinner." Xia Xiaoyu walked shoulder to shoulder with Xuan, it can be seen that the little girl's mood was good, walking with a bounce, full of innocence and vitality.

  "Huh, how did Grandpa think of going to your house for dinner?" Xuan Qi found it a bit strange. Although he often went to Liu Qiu Ping's house for meals with Xuan Qing, most of the time it was Liu Qiu Ping who took the initiative to invite them, and he rarely took the initiative to go there for dinner.

  Liu Qiuping, an orphan with a widowed mother, had a very difficult life. Xuan Qing and sometimes others would help out a bit. Because of this, Liu Qiuping was extremely grateful to the Xuan family and also treated Xuan Qi very well.

  There were no women in this grandfather-grandson household, and the two men would often just roughly cobble together a meal. It was precisely for this reason that Liu Qiuping frequently invited them over to eat.

  Of course, in order not to add burden to her family, Jingqing and He would also take the initiative to buy vegetables and share some.

  "It's unclear, but ever since Grandpa Xuan returned from the county town, he has been frowning and seems to have something on his mind." Xia Xiaoyu mentioned this with a somewhat uncomfortable expression.

  She could tell that something was bothering Xuan Qing and He.

  "I know." Upon hearing Xia Xiao Yu's words, Xuan Qi nodded and took out 30,000 yuan in cash from his backpack. He handed it to Xia Xiao Yu, saying: "Here is 30,000 yuan, I specifically took it out for your school expenses."

  "I don't want it, hurry up and put it away! Qiguo, wealth shouldn't be shown off, what if others see it?"

  Suddenly seeing a large stack of cash, Xia Xiaoyu hastily waved her hand. It's clear that when she saw so much cash at once, the little girl was somewhat flustered.

  In the countryside, being able to take out tens of thousands of cash at once is indeed a heart-pounding thing. However, Xuan Qi has already made hundreds of millions through gambling on stones, so these thirty thousand yuan are nothing in his eyes.

  "It's nothing, this time I've made a fortune, tens of thousands of yuan is no big deal." Seeing Xia Xiaoyu was very nervous, Xuan Qi said nonchalantly.

  He originally didn't want his antique buying activities to be made public in order to avoid trouble.

  However, now that he has gambled and obtained the priceless jade, plus cash and other things, he already has a net worth of several tens of millions. If he continues to hide this, it won't be a good method either.

  Xuan Qi knows the importance of money and understands that it can change one's life. He hopes that his friends and loved ones will not worry about money.

  Now that he has the skills, making money is very easy for him.

  "Did you rob a bank?" Xiaoyu was shocked to hear Xuanqi's tone. A few days ago, she heard Xuanqi say he would send her money for school, and it made her feel sweet inside.

  But this time Xuan Qi suddenly took out so much money, Xia Xiao Yu became worried again. She was afraid that Xuan Qi's money came from an illegitimate source, and also afraid that with the money, Xuan Qi would become corrupted.

  Xia Xiaoyu's face turned icy cold with such emotions.

  Xuan Qi said: "I just went to buy a few pieces of jade rough stone, cut out some good things. Look at this piece of jade, how is it? Does it look good?"

  As he spoke, Xuan Qi handed the emperor-level jadeite he had just cut to Xia Xiaoyu.

  "What a beautiful jade!"

  Xia Xiaoyu touched the green jade that was as transparent as glass and couldn't help but praise it.

  Women are naturally fond of jade, and Xia Xiaoyu is no exception. This emerald, although not yet processed, is equally stunning and eye-catching, making people infatuated.

  "Brother Qi, I've struck it rich! I just cut into a fine piece of jade and now I'm set for life. This one piece of jade is worth at least several million. How's that, Brother Qi? Am I impressive?"

  In front of his beloved girl, Xuan Qi always can't help but want to show off his strongest side.

  "Brother Zhi, you're really amazing! However, I don't want this money. You earned it, not me. Even if I go to school, I still can't take your money."

  Having heard Xuan Qi's words, Xia Xiao Yu silently nodded and stopped speaking, her face instead carrying a hint of worry. It was clear that the little girl had become troubled.

  "What's going on?" Seeing Xia Xiuyu not speaking to him and returning the 30,000 yuan to him, Xuan Qi was indeed feeling somewhat perplexed.

  He didn't know where he had offended Xia Xiaoyu.

  Lao Ding said beside him, "You're really stupid! This little girl is worried that you have money and will look down on her. It seems that the little girl has already begun to have a sense of sovereignty. It can be seen that she has deep feelings for you!" Lao Ding, after all, was someone who had experienced great winds and waves, and quickly understood what Xia Xiaoyu was thinking in his heart.

  "Is that so?" Xuan Qi did not expect that his words would cause Xia Xiao Yu psychological pressure, and instead widened the distance between them.

  When Xuan Qi arrived at Liu Qiu Ping's home, he saw Xuan Qing and Zheng sitting in front of the table, with a jug of fine Huadiao wine in front of them, drinking on their own.

  On the table, a variety of dishes were arranged in an orderly manner, and this meal looked very sumptuous.

  Liu Qiuping, wearing an apron, is busy in the kitchen, continuing to stir-fry. It can be seen that today seems to be an unusual day.

  "Has Xuan Qi come back?"

  Xia Xiangyu and Xuan Qi walked in, Liu Qiuping quickly wiped her hands and greeted Xuan Qi: "Hurry up and wash your hands for dinner, you must be starving!"

  "This table of dishes is so rich, wow, there's my favorite belt fish and turtle soup. What day is today that makes you spend so much, Aunt Liu?" Xuan Qi couldn't help but exclaim with his fingers twitching.

  Liu Qiuping pointed at Xuan Qing who was drinking and said: "I'm not clear, anyway it's all your grandfather bought back, I just helped to do it."

  "Grandfather, what day is it today?" Looking at Xuán Qīng and the others drinking by themselves with a relaxed expression, Xuán Qí couldn't help but ask.

  Xuan Qing and he downed a cup of wine, then squinted and said: "It's not any special day, just got back from the county town, bought some dishes on the way, just to celebrate casually..."

  He said, turning to Liu Qiuping: "Xiao Liu, stop bustling about, these dishes are enough, come and eat quickly. By the way, I have something to tell you."

  "Alright, I'm coming right away." Liu Qiuping was a quick-witted person. Upon hearing Xuan Qing's words, she immediately put down the work in her hands, hastily wiped them clean, and brought out the dishes that were ready to be served. She also took a seat at the table.

  Xuan Qing and the others sat down at the table, raised their cups and said: "In these years, thanks to your care, my family's Xuan Qi has had many more hot meals. For this, I want to thank you. And this old man has also benefited from your family's prosperity, thank you." As he spoke, he drained his cup in one gulp.

  Liu Qiupeng nervously picked up the cup and said, "Uncle Xuan, what are you talking about? I'm a widow with a young child, and it's all thanks to your help that we can make ends meet. Moreover, if you hadn't saved my life back then, I would have been dead long ago. Cooking a few meals for Master Xuan is something I should be doing..." "Grandfather, what's wrong?"

  Xuan Qi looked at Xuan Qing and this appearance, and knew that something must have happened.

  "Today I went to the county hospital for a check-up, and I've already gotten the results. I'm in the late stages of lung cancer, and I won't be able to live much longer. If I calculate it carefully, I only have a few months left to live."

  Xuan Qing did not originally want to tell Xuan Qi that his own life was coming to an end, but after some consideration, he still decided to tell his grandson so as to avoid leaving any regrets.

  After all, Xuan Qi had successfully built his foundation and could be considered to have inherited the mantle of the Xuan family. Xuan Qing did not want him to always remember the cause of his own death after he died.

  So he went to the county hospital and got some medical certificates to prove that he was ill, which led to his impending death, rather than being cursed.

  "What? Old Master Liu, you've got lung cancer?" Upon hearing Xuan Qing's words, Xia Xiao Yu was shocked stiff, the chopsticks in her hand falling straight down.

  Liu Qiuping was equally shocked and said: "Xuan Shu, you are well-versed in medical skills and theory, how could such a thing happen!"

  Xuan Qing let out a sigh and said, "A doctor can't cure himself, this is a very normal thing. I'm old, living three more months or thirty years is the same to me. This time, I came here hoping to entrust Xuan Qi to you. If I were to go, I still hope you can help take care of him. Xuan Qi, this child, has been without parents since he was young, it's really pitiful."

  At this time, Xuán Qīng said out his own mind.

  Liu Qiuping hastily guaranteed: "As long as I have a mouthful to eat, Xiao Qi will also have a mouthful to eat. Don't worry, Uncle Xuan, I'll definitely take good care of him."

  "If it weren't for the fact that Xuan Qi and Xiao Yu are a good match, I would have let Xuan Qi recognize you as his godmother. However, when it comes to emotional matters, we adults can't interfere, everything has to take its natural course. But if such a possibility arises in the future, you'll still have to prioritize our family's Xiao Qi!" At this point, Xuan Qing suddenly brought up the topic of Xuan Qi and Xia Xiao Yu.

  Liu Qiuping was also a straightforward person, and upon hearing this, she said: "Uncle Xuan, if you're not at ease, we can settle this engagement today. I think these two children are quite good, no need to observe them further."

  As she spoke, she decided to make a decision on the spot, directly determining the lifelong affairs of both Xuan Qi and Xia Xiao Yu.

  Seeing the two people getting further and further apart, Xuan Qi hastily said: "Grandfather, Liu Auntie, here is 30,000 yuan, I plan to use it for Xiaoyu's high school tuition. Also, regarding Grandfather's illness, I have a different opinion."

  When Xuan Qi took out a large stack of cash from the bag, both Xuan Qing and Liu Qiu Ping were extremely shocked.

  "What's going on?"

  They did not think that Xuan Qi would do something shocking right under their noses.
