NovelEnglishChapter 771: Infuriating Fourth Uncle Qi
Qi Zhenbai nodded shortly. He didn’t have to think much to know why his mother was here.
Not long after, Mother Qi got straight to the point and told him to take his wife to see Fourth Uncle Qi. No matter how ugly things were in private, the old man was still alive, and the fourth son of the Qi family was still an elder.
At that moment, Chi Shuyan also came out. She learned from Mother Qi that Fourth Uncle had broken both his legs from the chandelier last night. Chi Shuyan was especially happy in her heart, but she deliberately asked, “Mom, is it serious? Zhenbai and I will go see Fourth Uncle later.”
Mother Qi was very glad that Zhenbai’s wife was sensible. Thinking of how Zhenbai always listened to his wife, Mother Qi heaved a sigh of relief. Mother Qi didn’t have a good impression of Fourth Brother Qi, but she respected the old man very much and placed importance on Father Qi’s attitude.

One of his legs is fractured, and the other is even broken all the way through. He’ll probably be hospitalized for a few months in order to recover. I heard from the doctor that it’s a little serious!”
Chi Shuyan couldn’t wait to see Fourth Uncle Qi’s wretched appearance. She felt that the reason why he was in such a miserable state was probably related to that Bad Luck Talisman, which would still be in effect for a few days. If it wasn’t for the fact that she was afraid that Fourth Uncle Qi would suspect something, she would have let him suffer for at least a few months.
But when she thought about how Fourth Uncle Qi would be hospitalized for the next few months, Chi Shuyan was happy. He had been so arrogant last night!
His wife had agreed, so Qi Zhenbai naturally agreed.
As soon as Mother Qi left, Chi Shuyan’s amused expression became even more obvious. At that moment, the man’s sharp gaze fell on her, and Chi Shuyan immediately revealed an innocent expression. “What are you looking at? This has nothing to do with me!”
Qi Zhenbai was best at guessing people’s hearts and observing them, so how could he not see his wife’s guilty conscience? At the thought that his wife was always protecting him, Qi Zhenbai’s usually cold eyes brimmed with a gentle smile.
After breakfast, the young couple went to the hospital. Because they were visiting an elder, Chi Shuyan bought a lot of fruits. However, she picked four of each. When she saw Fourth Uncle Qi, would he vomit blood[1]?
Qi Zhenbai also indulged his wife’s “pettiness.” Fourth Uncle was someone who was deeply superstitious, and he might really vomit blood when he saw how Chi Shuyan had picked four of each fruit.
As soon as they arrived at the hospital, they took the elevator upstairs. When they were about to reach Fourth Uncle Qi’s ward, they heard his angry howls.
Qi Zhenbai and his wife specially chose a time when there were no other Qi family members around, and pushed open the door to enter.

There was only Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt Qi in the ward, along with Qi Haoze and Qi Yunxiao, their only son and daughter!
Qi Haoze’s pupils contracted sharply when he saw who had come, and his face turned slightly pale.
As soon as Fourth Uncle Qi saw that Qi Zhenbai, that rascal, had come over with that woman, his dry and furious howls just now came to a screeching halt, like a duck that had suddenly been strangled. He subconsciously felt that Qi Zhenbai must have brought his woman to see him make a fool of himself. Thinking of his own bad luck last night, Fourth Uncle Qi’s face turned dark.
Chi Shuyan took in Fourth Uncle’s sorry state and took the initiative to put the fruits on the table with a smile. She lied through her teeth enthusiastically. “Fourth Uncle, are you okay? After what happened to you last night, Zhenbai was so worried about you that he couldn’t sleep. Fourth Uncle, you’re so unlucky. Zhenbai and I bought these fruits for you. We don’t know what fruits you like, so we bought more!”
[1] Four is considered an inauspicious number since it sounds similar to “death” in Chinese
