1822 Something Happened (2)
The engagement party was grand, with thoughtfully arranged flowers, plants, and trees surrounding the venue.
Countless balloons and sheer fabrics hung in the air, swaying gently with the breeze, creating an ethereal atmosphere.
Qi Xin wore a beautiful dress that accentuated her exquisite figure, while Gu Guanlin stood beside her, tall and handsome, exuding a captivating charm.
Together, they appeared like a pair of celestial beings, capturing everyone’s attention.
The guests applauded enthusiastically for them.
Although it was only an engagement banquet and not a wedding, it concluded quickly.
However, the guests didn’t leave right away.
Many took advantage of the opportunity to network and conduct business.
In such a gathering of influential people, there were abundant resources available.
Moreover, since these were not ordinary individuals, it was only natural for them to establish and strengthen connections.
Qi Xin approached Qi Zhi’an and Ling Xiao, her eyes slightly moist, expressing gratitude, “Thank you both for coming.”
“Don’t say that,” Ling Xiao affectionately stroked her hair.
“How could we not come to your engagement?”
Qi Zhi’an remained silent but conveyed his thoughts through his eyes.
Although she wasn’t their biological daughter, how could the bond they had nurtured over the years be easily erased?
Qi Zhiqiang approached them, wearing a sly smile.
“Xin, you should thank your uncle and aunt.
They are usually so busy, yet they took the time to attend your engagement banquet.
It’s quite rare!”
The title of uncle and aunt caused Qi Zhi’an and Ling Xiao to flinch slightly, their smiles turning bitter.
Qi Xin, however, was unaffected.
“Yes, thank you both.
I also want to thank you for the gifts you gave me.”
“You’re welcome,” Qi Zhi’an shook his head.
“We just hope you’ll have a good life.”
That was their sincerest wish.
Regardless of their relationship, they genuinely hoped for Qi Xin’s happiness.
These words didn’t cause much of an emotional fluctuation within Qi Xin, but her smile deepened slightly.
“Alright…”
Qi Zhiqiang was displeased and attempted to interject, but Qi Zhi’an’s phone rang suddenly.
“Sorry,” Qi Zhi’an smiled at them, then answered the call.
The next second, his smile froze.
“What did you say? What caught fire?!”
His reaction was somewhat out of character, startling the people who were engaged in conversation.
Xia Xibei also walked over, her eyes questioning what had happened.
Qi Zhi’an’s expression turned grim, “Put out the fire quickly, we’ll rush back right now!”
He immediately hung up the phone, apologizing to Ling Xiao and the others, “Sorry, something urgent came up.
We have to go back.”
Ling Xiao grew concerned, “What happened?”
Qi Zhi’an’s expression was heavy, “We just received news that one of our factories caught fire.”
“Caught fire?!” Ling Xiao was also shocked.
“How is that possible?!”
The fire safety measures in Qi’s factories and companies were top-notch, so there shouldn’t be any issues.
If it was just a small fire, it would be extinguished quickly.
In fact, before the spark even ignited, they would have already put out the flames.
“Where did the incident happen?” Xia Xibei furrowed her brow and asked.
“It’s in H City, and over there…” Qi Zhi’an’s expression turned grim.
Ling Xiao immediately understood what he meant.
In reality, the so-called “factory” was a small mountain owned by them in H City, where they cultivated numerous spiritual plants.
Those were all treasures of the Qi family!
But how could it catch fire?
Even the patriarch was taken aback.
“Is it true?”
“Yes,” Qi Zhi’an nodded.
“I have to hurry back.”
