Chapter 1288 First Encounter
Mr. Xi pressed his heart hard, and his heart hurts one after another, as if it was torn apart.

Seeing that something was wrong with him, Xi Jinchen hurried forward to support him.

But as soon as he touched Mr. Xi's shoulder, Mr. Xi lost his strength and fell into Xi Jinchen's arms.

Xi Jinchen panicked, "Grandpa? Grandpa!"

Mr. Xi didn't respond, and Xiao Qin, who had been sitting beside him silently for a long time, was taken aback, and he stood up abruptly.

"Grandpa Xi is probably in a hurry! Hurry up and carry it upstairs, isn't the doctor still there?!"

Xi Jinchen panicked a long time ago, he hurriedly joined forces with Xiao Qin to carry Mr. Xi upstairs, the doctors rushed in, and the manor was in chaos again.

Xi Jinchen was shut outside the door, and he rubbed his hands anxiously.Xiao Qin wanted to go up and say something to Xi Jinchen several times, but he stopped abruptly.

In this situation, he seems to be unable to persuade Xi Jinchen.

After a while, Xiao Qin stepped forward hesitantly.

"Brother Xi, why don't we go down and wait first? I'm afraid Grandpa Xi won't wake up for a while."

"I know..." Xi Jinchen said in a panic, but he just stood at the door and refused to leave. Xiao had no choice but to accompany him and wait quietly beside him.

Suddenly, the bedroom door beside him was pushed open.

Yiqi came out trembling step by step, she stood in front of Xi Jinchen, opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.

She could feel that Xi Jinchen was greatly stimulated today, and it's lucky that he didn't just pass out on the ground like Mr. Xi.

After a while, Yiqi couldn't help but stepped forward to hold Xi Jinchen's arm.

"Shall we go down first?"

Only then did Xi Jinchen come to his senses, seeing Yiqi's eyes full of worry, he nodded hesitantly.

There was a mess on the second floor, he stood in the way here, he might as well go down and wait.

Seeing Yiqi persuading Xi Jinchen, Xiao Qin nodded in agreement, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this Xi Jinchen looks like a domineering wife, but he is still a strict wife.

But Xiao Qin couldn't laugh, he just silently followed the two downstairs together.

Alina still knelt on the same spot, motionless, she was like a rigid log, she seemed to be unable to kneel.

Yi Qi frowned, what was she trying to do?
She helped Xi Jinchen around Alina, sat on the sofa, stared at Alina with her head down for a long while, and then Yiqi spoke.

"You get up first."

Alina had been thinking about something, but after a while she came back to her senses, stood up slowly with her arms propped up.

She knelt for too long, her knees were already painful and numb, so even standing up was precarious.

Yiqi still couldn't see it, so he helped Alina and let her sit beside him.

"How do you know these things?" Yiqi asked.

Xi Jinchen, who had been thinking about upstairs all this time, finally turned his head. It seemed that Yiqi had already heard all these things in his ears just now.

Anyway, these things cannot be hidden from her.

Xi Jinchen sighed, and waited with Yiqi for Alina's answer.

But Alina seemed to have something to hide, and refused to say anything.

Yiqi knew that it was too difficult to pry something out of Alina's mouth, so he changed the subject helplessly.

"Then tell me how the two of you got together?"

After Yiqi repeatedly questioned, Alina finally had to speak.

"I met him at a ball."

prom?

Yiqi frowned, and she chuckled.

"What kind of international joke are you making? You are the heir to the future title, the daughter of the Duke's family. Even people like us may not be able to attend your high society balls. Since my brother has already been taken away by someone, How could you two have met at a dance?"

Alina smiled wryly, "Blame me for being too playful when I was young."

Yi Qi raised his eyebrows, and after thinking for a while, Yi Qi suddenly understood.

These people have always been born in the midst of blessings and do not know how to be blessed. They have stood on the starting line that others may not be able to reach in their entire lives since they were born, but they still have to complain and feel that they are bound by their own family, so presumably When Alina was young, she also had some secondary school thoughts.

"If I'm not mistaken, the dance you're talking about isn't a well-regulated social event for the upper class, but because you are playful and have gone to other places, right?"

Alina nodded helplessly, she knew that she couldn't hide from Yiqi's eyes.

"Yes, I was just an adult at the time, and I only wanted to escape from the shackles of the family. So I always liked to run out and hang out with some people who were wrong in the eyes of my parents. Because of these things, they reprimanded me several times , put me in confinement, and then I ran away from home under the dispute."

Yiqi shrugged helplessly, and she and Xi Jinchen exchanged glances, and as she expected, it seemed that Alina was no longer a fuel-efficient lamp when she was young.

"go on."

"After I ran away from home, because I had no job and almost ran out of money, I could only live in a dilapidated small hotel."

Yiqi guessed something from Alina's short narration, "Is that the hotel I went to?"

"Yes." Alina had to admit, "I lived there for three years and lived on odd jobs during that period. When I didn't have a job, I liked to go to underground bars in some places. The so-called dance party was just a party. Not a popular activity, by the way, this should be called disco in your place."

Yiqi knew that this was a very heavy topic, but when Alina said the word "Bengdi", she still couldn't help smiling.

It's quite interesting. Listening to Alina talking about her youth, it seems to be recalling the time when she was young.

"So that's where you met?"

Listening to Yiqi's words, Alina's gaze gradually became blank.

"The first time I met him was at the speakeasy. I was a guest and he was the bartender. I was drunk and went to the bar to ask for a drink, but I didn't have any money in my pocket, but he gave it to me anyway, but He just gave me a glass."

Alina suddenly smiled foolishly, perhaps for her, the beauty of the first meeting is a rare warmth.

"I've been out for so many years, and I've met countless people. Some of them persuaded me to drink, and some of them knew that I was a problem with my own life, but they still tried their best to get money out of my pocket to pay for themselves. .Only not only did he not charge me for the drinks, but he also advised me to drink less."
