It's not as boring as Xi Lanting imagined, nor as difficult as the Xi family's children imagined.
Although Yun Qiao doesn't talk much, he can answer conversations and has a good temper.
And it can be seen that she seems to like Xi Wenqi very much, chatting with her all the time; Xi Wenqi is good at flattery, has quick thinking, and makes Yun Qiao laugh from time to time.
This ability made her cousins envious and a little jealous.
"Wen Qi has really gained experience in the business."
"If she were a man, the three-thirds of an acre of land in the old house would be under her control in the future."
Xi Lanting doesn't have a sinister personality, and he won't be upset if he says something wrong. He just looks at you quietly.
As for Yun Qiao, she is beautiful but not arrogant and pretentious. She is also a female college student of the new era. She talks in one way and is quite knowledgeable.
"I suddenly felt that Uncle Qi was not worthy of Aunt Qi.
When will his illness get better?"
Xi Wushao couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
If Uncle Qi's life is not long, won't Yun Qiao have to become a widow?
As soon as he had this thought, he immediately stopped and glanced at Xi Lanting with a guilty conscience.
Xi Lanting didn't notice and was pouring tea for Yun Qiao.
The nephews of the Xi family all admitted that Uncle Qi was good-looking, but as a man he was too weak.
After dinner, several people walked out of the private room and went downstairs one after another.
Xi Wenqi tentatively took Yun Qiao's arm, but Yun Qiao didn't push her away and happily let her hold her arm.
Xi Lanting was a few steps behind, wary of her niece, suspecting that she wanted to poach her.
They arrived downstairs and were waiting in the lobby for the driver to drive over. Suddenly they heard a woman screaming from the second floor: "Chengbao, Chengbao, be careful, hold on tight..."
Everyone couldn't help but raise their heads.
There was a woman lying on the railing on the second floor, leaning out and shouting at the roof beams. Next to her stood her husband and his family, helpless and shouting.
Following their line of sight, Yun Qiao and others saw a little boy shivering on the roof beam of the hotel.
Everyone was shocked, and the diners in the lobby watched the excitement.
"How did you get up there?"
"There is a warehouse at the end of the corridor on the second floor, and there is an attic over there, which is directly connected to the roof beams."
The boy said, becoming anxious again, "Quickly find a ladder."
"The ladder can't be reached, it's so high!"
"Bring the sheets over here, let's put them underneath. We probably won't be able to go up because the beams are not wide enough."
The child thought it was fun at first, but was a little flustered by his mother's cries; but the roof beams were not touching each other, so he could not go up or down, and when he looked down, it was too high, and he was frightened later on.
After all, it's the height of a two-story building.
"Mom."
The child started to cry, his voice thin and trembling.
Yun Qiao was also shocked.
Xi Wenqi next to her was also anxious: "It's a serious fall. I'd better get the sheets over and tighten them quickly."
Yun Qiao said to Xi Lanting: "Lanting, go and save him."
Xi Wenqi and others looked at Yun Qiao in surprise.
What high expectations does she have for Uncle Qi?
If you want to go up and rescue someone, you must first be as skinny as that child so that you can flexibly turn on the roof beams; secondly, you must be agile.
Uncle Qi is an adult man who is sick, frail and delicate. How can he save people?
Xi Lanting sighed: "My wife is so nosy..."
He shook his head and didn't say anything. He just took off his outer coat.
Xi Ba Shao was startled by him: "Uncle Qi, it's better for my nephew to go."
Xi Lanting ignored him.
In the midst of the commotion, he used his feet to lean on the handrail of the stairs on the first floor and went straight to the second floor. He leaned on the railing again and was already on the roof beam.
He hooked onto the roof beam, feeling relaxed and comfortable. With his other hand, he hugged the frightened and crying child around his waist. He jumped back and landed smoothly on the corridor on the second floor.
Mr. Xi Bashi: "..."
The whole process took about thirty seconds, which was too fast to be real.
Before the onlookers had time to exclaim, and some even didn't understand the situation, Xi Lanting had already brought them down.
