1819: Engagement (2)

Engagement (2)

For the past few days, Qi Xin had been behaving very obediently. 1

In the face of Qi Zhi'an and Ling Xiao, as a result of the change in their relationship, everything felt different. 

Even if Qi Zhi'an and Ling Xiao wanted to do something, they couldn't return to how things were before.

However, because Qi Xin had been quiet all along, the Qi family hadn't been in turmoil. 

Even when faced with Xia Xibei, Qi Xin remained calm, without the restlessness she had shown before. 

She was too quiet, reducing her own presence to almost unnoticeable. 

It was precisely because of this that Xia Xibei hadn't considered taking action against Qi Xin.

Who could have anticipated that Qi Xin, without making a sound, would be getting engaged to Gu Guanlin? 

Xia Xibei was stunned. 

At the same time, the news of Qi Xin's engagement shocked Yang Shu and the others as well. 

Previously, both Yang Shu and Han Chuo had feelings for Gu Guanlin, and their infatuation had caused quite a bit of trouble. 

Who could have imagined that in the end, it would be Qi Xin who ended up with Gu Guanlin? 

Han Chuo even told Xia Xibei about Yang Shu's anger, mentioning how she nearly blew off.

Fortunately, Han Chuo had managed to let go of her feelings for Gu Guanlin. 

Upon hearing this news, Xia Xibei and Qiao Yanjue were both surprised and immediately rushed back to the Qi house. 

Qi Zhi'an and Ling Xiao had somewhat peculiar expressions. 

Joy, relief, sadness and dejection all at once… Their expressions were complex.

Xia Xibei was a little puzzled, "Why would Qi Xin suddenly want to get engaged?"

"They went out together before, and they had a car accident in the middle of it. Qi Xin was saved by Gu Guanlin. After that, they gradually got together," Ling Xiao explained.

"A car accident?" Xia Xibei was very surprised. 

Qi Xin and Gu Guanlin had a car accident together? 

It couldn't be a coincidence, could it?

"Yes," Qi Zhi'an nodded. "That happened a couple of months ago, and Xin didn't mention it to us..."

Speaking up to this point, both of them seemed somewhat melancholic. 

Qi Xin had been their daughter for so many years, and suddenly their relationship had changed. 

However, such feelings couldn't be erased immediately. 

After the incident, their relationship could never return to what it used to be.

There was nothing they could do. 

After all, Xia Xibei was their biological daughter. 

Qi Xin, without making a sound, had found herself a boyfriend and was now getting engaged, which complicated their emotions.

However, Qi Xin was now Qi Zhiqiang's daughter, so they naturally had to handle the matter. 

Xia Xibei understood their feelings. 

Even though she was their biological daughter, they couldn't forget the many years of affection they had with Qi Xin.

"Well… What gift are you planning to give her?" Xia Xibei asked with a smile. "Her engagement party is coming up soon, what do you have in mind?"

"What should we give?" The two exchanged a glance, feeling a little uncertain. 

Then, they looked at Xia Xibei. "What do you think… What should we give?"

Both of them were a little perplexed. 

If it was their own daughter getting married, they could give anything. 

However, Qi Xin's relationship with them was somewhat awkward.

"You can give whatever you want," Xia Xibei said nonchalantly. "Besides, she has found her true love, so we should all be happy for her!"

"That's true."

Qi Zhi'an and Ling Xiao glanced at each other and nodded in agreement. 

Qi Xin's position in the Qi family was somewhat awkward, so they had been a little heartbroken seeing her being silent all these days. 

Moreover, the relationship between Qi Xin and Yang Wenyin, Qi Zhi'an's wife, was also somewhat delicate. 

If Qi Xin were to marry Gu Guanlin, the situation would likely improve significantly. 

Then, they would be able to feel more at ease.
