sky-high engagement

Chapter 677
The seventh master Ji Rongzheng spoke of was the oldest and most prestigious among the elders of the Ji family.

Han Ziyi said last time that the Ji family began to rise in the late Qing Dynasty. At that time, Su Mo still couldn't understand what kind of family it was?
But now that he was here, looking at the old man who was called Seventh Master, Su Mo suddenly seemed to understand a little bit.

Qi Ye is almost a hundred years old this year. His loose white hair is parted in the middle and hangs on his shoulders, and he wears a round hat on his head.

Although he is old, he can still vaguely see some shadows of the past from him.

"Are you the child from the Su family?"

Hearing the old man's question, Su Mo quietly glanced at Ji Qingsheng, then nodded.

Qi Ye looked at her from head to toe several times, as if he wanted to see something from her body?
Those eyes were scary, which made Su Mo take a breath.

I have to say that Qi Ye's appearance is too scary, probably because of his age.

Loose skin, excessively drooping eyelids, such a thin body, especially those cloudy eyeballs.

When he looked at it, it felt like being shrouded in a dark mist.

You can't see the other party clearly, but the other party's eyes can see you clearly behind the shady scene, which is very penetrating.

Su Mo felt uncomfortable being looked at by him, so she had to turn her head to look at Ji Qingsheng. How she wished that the person beside her was Xiao Nanye.

"How did your grandfather die?"

Qiye's voice was old and hoarse, adding a sense of mystery to him.

Hearing his question, Su Mo quickly turned his eyes back, looked at Qi Ye with an unnatural expression, and forgot to answer.

Qi Ye was very dissatisfied with her performance, and looked at Ji Qingsheng questioningly, "Are you dumb?"

"No."

Ji Qingsheng explained something for her, and then looked at her encouragingly, "If Master Qi asks you, just tell me."

With Ji Qingsheng's encouragement, Su Mo said, "Grandpa is sick."

Before Su Mo finished speaking, Qi Ye interrupted him coldly, "You fart!"

Su Mo didn't dare to look at Qiye's face at first, but now his face turned cold, it was even more frightening, his eyes were as sharp as two knives hidden.

Su Mo was caught off guard, his ears rang from his roar, and he didn't say any more.

"What's the matter? Who made Master Qi so angry?" Ji Rongzheng walked in from the outside, and quickly exchanged glances with Ji Qingsheng.

The latter took a step forward and said to the furious person: "Qi Ye, don't get angry, she doesn't know about that, I didn't tell her."

"What did you say?"

Because of this sentence, the anger in Qi Ye's eyes moved away from Su Mo, and all the pressure fell on Ji Qingsheng for a moment.

"why?"

The corners of Qiye's drooping mouth opened and closed, and the sound he made made people shudder.

After being swept away by the end of his eyes, Su Mo felt uncomfortable all over, moved his feet quietly, and moved a little closer to the Ji brothers.

Seeing her little movements, Ji Rongzheng couldn't help but want to laugh.

He thought this girl had grown up, but he didn't expect that she was the mother of two children, and she was still as timid as she was when she was a child.

Ji Qingsheng didn't notice Su Mo, he was looking at Qiye calmly, "I've already dealt with that matter, she doesn't need to know."

What he said was very subtle, Su Mo didn't understand, but Qi Ye and Ji Rongzheng both understood.

Qi Ye looked at Ji Qingsheng's eyes slowly changed, from puzzled to inquiring, as if he was still dissatisfied with him as the head of the family.

He said in an unhappy tone: "What is your identity? What qualifications do you have to help her deal with it?"

Ji Qingsheng said without giving an inch: "This matter is over."

Qi Ye is old after all, and now Ji Qingsheng has the final say on the entire Ji family, seeing how tough his attitude is, he didn't continue this topic, but accusations are inevitable.

"A Sheng, you are too nonsense."

"Qi Ye taught me a lesson!"

Ji Qingsheng bowed his head and admitted his mistake, so that one person took a step back, and everything happened to be safe.

It's just that his subdued performance made Ji Rongzheng look sideways at Su Mo.

When did you see the boss being so useless? Didn't he just leave a piece of pure land for some people?
Thinking of the things his boss did behind Su Mo's back, Ji Rongzheng suddenly felt a little worthless, but some people were determined to do good deeds without asking for anything in return.

And all of this is caused by a joke from the adults.

Xiao Sheng, the younger sister in your aunt's belly, when you grow up, you must take good care of her, you know?
At that time, Ji Rongzheng was still young, and he only found out later that the adults wanted to take Su Mo into Ji's house, but Su Mo's grandfather didn't agree.

As far as Su Mo's grandfather is concerned, he has nothing to say about his education and cultivation. The only thing is that he has cheated his boss.

When encountering that kind of thing back then, the most aggrieved and wronged person was Ji Qingsheng. He had already accepted his fate, but Grandpa Su still refused to let him go.

If it weren't for him, the boss wouldn't be alone until now.

Thinking of this, Ji Rongzheng became a little unhappy. Does his boss owe the Su family or something?

He was the luckiest. Although he was born only a few minutes behind the boss, his fate was completely different.

Because of Ji Qingsheng's boss, he should take the responsibility of the entire Ji family as a matter of course, while himself, the second child, was naturally ignored.

Because of this, he can do what he wants and live the life he wants, and it has been like this all these years.

If it hadn't been for the accident in Ji's family this time, he would still be in school, living a carefree life.

The thought was only for a moment, and Ji Rongzheng looked away from Su Mo, watching Qiye and the boss patrolling back and forth.

In the air, undercurrents surged.

Qi Ye looked at Ji Qingsheng with drooping eyelids. He watched the child grow up. If he wanted to talk about his ability and means, he really had nothing to say.

However, when the children grow up and are capable, the elders are half happy and half worried.

The joy is that there are successors, but the worry is that the waves behind the Yangtze River will push the waves ahead.

Looking at Ji Qingsheng's unwavering gaze, Qi Ye felt in his heart that the current world is the world of young people, and it is impossible to refuse to accept the old.

After all, he is half buried in the ground, maybe he will die someday.
Recently, he often thinks about the past, and has witnessed the changes of an era. Whenever he recalls those pasts, the vivid pictures seem to be vivid in his mind.

Thinking of this, Qi Ye looked tired, raised his hand and said, "Okay, you two go out! Girl, stay and talk with me."

Hearing this, Su Mo's hairs stood on end, and he moved towards the brothers again, looking at Ji Qingsheng anxiously, for fear of being left behind.

Qi Ye has a weird personality, and his temper is unpredictable, Ji Qingsheng is really worried about leaving her alone.

So he said to Qi Ye: "Xiao Nanye is here too, he's just outside, why don't you let him come in and say hello to you?"

"Oh?"

Qi Ye had heard of the name Xiao Nanye before.

He recalled the news about this person for a while, then raised his drooping eyelids, glanced at the bewildered Su Mo, and said angrily, "That uncle of the Su family?"

Ji Qingsheng nodded and said, "I'll ask him to come in."

"Wait!"

Qiye's casual voice stopped Ji Qingsheng's plan to find Xiao Nanye.

Looking at the person who has been trying to hide his presence, Qi Ye slowly raised his arm, and nodded with his skinny hand like bark, "What are you doing standing so far away? Come here and let Qi Ye take a good look."

Su Mo, who was touched, suddenly felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet.

She thought that with Ji Qingsheng around, she shouldn't have to worry, but a devil's claw stretched out from the side and gently pushed her to the front.

Su Mo staggered a few steps, managed to stand still, and saw Qi Ye who was very close in front of him.

"Okay bro, since Master Qi has something to tell her, let's go out first!"

After Ji Rongzheng finished speaking, he pulled Ji Qingsheng out. In the simple yet luxurious room, only one old and one young remained.

The room fell silent all of a sudden, you could hear a needle drop.

Ji Qingsheng left, Su Mo saw that there was no hope at all, so he calmed down instead.

If you come here, you will be at peace. When you think that Xiao Nanye is outside, Su Mo feels more at ease.

She settled down, raised her head to look at Qi Ye's grim face, she was no longer as resistant as she was at the beginning.

"Do you want to tell me about my grandfather?" Su Mo asked.

Qi Ye nodded, looking at Su Mo with cloudy eyes, as if he wanted to see the shadow of the old man through her.

If he wanted to see Su Mo, he let him see, with his two small fists tucked into his sleeves, he silently responded.

After a long while, Qi Ye's unique hoarse voice sounded like a broken wind, "After all, your grandpa still has to call me Qi Ge."

Although he had already guessed that the Su family might be related to the Ji family, Su Mo was still quite surprised when he heard Qi Ye say that.

Xu Shi saw the loneliness on Qi Ye's face and the vicissitudes in his eyes, Su Mo suddenly didn't think he was scary anymore.

Eager to find out the relationship between the two families, Su Mo tried to ask him, "So our Su family and Ji's family are cousins?"

Qi Ye frowned when he heard this, and said fiercely: "What nonsense!"

How fierce!
Su Mo shrank her neck reflexively, she resisted the urge to turn around and run, and looked at Qi Ye pitifully, "Why not?"

Qi Ye was dissatisfied with her performance, and looked at her coldly, "You don't know how to use your brain?"

He said so, Su Mo can only think for himself.

She suddenly remembered that Xiao Nanye said that this is the palace, and then a strange picture appeared in Su Mo's mind.

If it is said to be descended from the royal family, would the Su family be the servants of the Ji family?
Thinking that she almost became a slave, Su Moji was extremely grateful to the founding of New China, which freed her from the fate of being a slave for generations.

its not right!
How could the royal family smuggle arms afterwards?
It is even more impossible to visit grandpa during the holidays!

This is a mental job, Su Mo couldn't figure it out, so he just looked at Qi Ye with a broken jar, "Grandpa never told me anything."
