Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1577 ‘Brother-in-law’

Fan Xi’s heart jumped and he wanted to vomit blood again. Fortunately, this expert in front of him truly didn’t plan to be ruthless and milk the Fan family dry. Otherwise, given how his cousin was negotiating this time, he probably wouldn’t be the only one who would want to vomit blood.

After they returned to the Fan family this time, Fan Xi resolved to advise Father Fan to absolutely not let Ah Yin handle any sort of negotiations again in the future. Otherwise, the Fan family would be bankrupted by this kid sooner or later.

Apart from that, the atmosphere among the three of them was incomparably good, and was even more harmonious than with the Jing family.

Given Fan Yin’s generosity, Chi Shuyan found him more and more pleasing to the eye. She had regretted being too generous in giving him four Advancement Pills before, but she was completely unaffected now. After all, no matter how high the level, as long as she could refine medicinal pills, she would never lack them. Moreover, she still had some Advancement Pills herself; it was a win-win situation for both sides.

Given Fan Yin’s attitude, Chi Shuyan was more inclined to cooperate with the Fan family compared with the Jing family. Of course, the most important thing was still the contract details.

Chi Shuyan made herself clear, and Fan Yin and Fan Xi were overjoyed. The former felt more and more that the expert was easy to get along with, while the latter felt that the expert really didn’t put on airs. She was completely different from other experts in the past who liked to put on airs. The three of them didn’t want this meal to end.

Unfortunately, they still had to part ways after the meal. Fan Xi and Fan Yin were quite reluctant to leave, especially Fan Yin. He rambled on and on about all sorts of recent gossip about him and the Fan family, and Chi Shuyan was also a bit amused as Fan Yin expressed his gratitude. In the end, the expert said that she would discuss business only with them. Fan Yin and Fan Xi were very excited and overjoyed when they heard this.

Fan Ping was now up to no good. Even if he really found out who the expert was, Fan Yin no longer had to worry. Otherwise, he was really worried that the expert would be snatched away by Fan Ping. Fan Yin wanted to vomit blood just thinking about it.

“Okay, it’s about time. I still have something on. You can give me the details beforehand on WeChat. If I see your message, I’ll definitely reply,” Chi Shuyan said.

Fan Yin and Fan Xi were about to agree happily, when the other party changed the subject and continued, “By the way, my name is Chi Shuyan, so there’s no need to call me ‘Expert.’ I’m not an expert, so you can call me by my name.”

The word ‘Expert’ sounded really awkward after this meal.

Without waiting for Fan Xi to speak, Fan Yin blurted out, “Sister! Sister Shuyan!”

Fan Xi’s right eyelid twitched violently, and he was lost for words.

Chi Shuyan: …

Chi Shuyan didn’t say anything and just looked at the person in front of her, who was older than her in terms of looks and age. Fan Xi was a little worried at first, but he then saw this ‘expert’ grit her teeth as the corners of her mouth twitched, before she agreed calmly. “Okay, you can call me that!”

It was better than calling her “Expert,” right?

On the side, Fan Xi blushed and wished he could pretend he didn’t know this cousin of his. This was the first time he had an idea of how thick this kid’s skin really was. Fortunately, the expert hadn’t slapped him in the face. Otherwise, how could this kid still smile so happily?

In the end, Chi Shuyan was the one who paid for the meal. The three parted ways at the entrance of the restaurant. Fan Yin couldn’t get enough of calling the other party “Sister.” His mouth had always been very sweet, and he was an easygoing person by nature. In addition, he was good-looking. Even when he was flattering her, it wasn’t in a greasy manner. Chi Shuyan didn’t dislike him at all.

She planned to take a taxi and leave after seeing the two of them off, but Fan Yin, this rascal, suddenly stared blankly and trembled.

Curious, Chi Shuyan followed his gaze and saw Qi Zhenbai get out of his car.

The man was still dressed in a suit and leather shoes today. His expression was steady and imposing, and he had a strong aura. When he had a stiff face, he looked especially fierce and difficult to approach. After resting, however, his complexion had improved drastically, which did wonders for his looks

In short, Qi Zhenbai’s face couldn’t be ignored, whether by a man or a woman; it was quite stunning. Of course, because the man’s aura was too strong, most people didn’t dare look at his face; at least, not as blankly as Fan Yin.

“Holy sh*t, that man is too… too f*cking good-looking.” Fan Yin immediately revealed his true colors. Before Fan Xi could stop him, he blurted out a casual, envious complaint, and Fan Xi felt hapless. Fan Yin then shuddered again and said, “F*ck, why is that man staring in our direction? No, why do I feel like there’s something wrong with the way he’s looking at me?”

As expected of the Fan family heir; although his abilities were a little lacking, his intuition was very sharp. He immediately sensed the chill, danger and hostility in the other party’s eyes.

Fan Xi didn’t sense it, but he did see that the other party’s eyes were fixed on them. He was a bit surprised and wary. He was afraid that Fan Ping might have sent some spy to follow them, but given the other party’s looks, bearing and aura, he clearly wasn’t someone Fan Ping could order around.

Fan Xi relaxed.

Of course, Chi Shuyan had seen the man get out of the car, but she wasn’t sure if he was here for something else or if he was looking for her.

Before she could dwell on it, Fan Yin suddenly said excitedly, “He’s coming over! He’s coming over! Does this person have a grudge against us?”

As soon as Fan Yin whispered that, a very pleasant, deep and magnetic voice rang out – it was directed at the expert, and the tone was familiar. “Are you leaving? Shall I give you a lift?”

Unlike his sharp and unapproachable expression just now, the man’s face was now slightly gentler. Even his eyes were extremely gentle. It was just that this man’s eyes were like a bottomless well. Fan Yin didn’t expect such a person to know the expert. From his familiar tone, it was clear the two of them didn’t have an ordinary relationship.

Fan Yin couldn’t help but wonder in his heart. The expert in front of him was stunned when she heard the other party’s offer, before she nodded in agreement. She asked if the other party had any work that he needed to attend to.

“I’m fine!”

Not to mention Fan Yin, even Fan Xi could tell that the two of them had a close relationship.

Fan Yin’s eyes darted around and he suddenly probed, “Exp… no, Sister, is this Brother-in-law?”

Fan Xi: …

Chi Shuyan: …

Qi Zhenbai: …

After listening to Fan Yin, Chi Shuyan’s right eyelid twitched violently. As for Fan Xi, his face was red with embarrassment. He really wanted to pretend that he didn’t know this cousin of his.

This… was too embarrassing. Fan Yin acted familiarly with everyone, whether he had met them before or not. The expert had barely accepted being called “Sister,” when in the next second, Fan Yin familiarly called another man “Brother-in-law.” If it wasn’t for the fact that the occasion wasn’t right, Fan Xi would have asked this kid how he could be so naturally thick-skinned.

At that moment, Qi Zhenbai’s dismissive attitude was replaced with a rare genuine smile for Fan Yin. Even though he didn’t have much of an expression on his face, there was a hint of warmth in his eyes. He even took the initiative to shake hands with Fan Yin.

Fan Yin was flattered and immediately took the initiative to shake his hand. He looked at the expert on the side, who didn’t look repulsed, and continued to call him “Brother-in-law.”

Fan Xi was speechless. He didn’t know this kid anymore! His skin was too f*cking thick!

In the end, Fan Xi directly dragged Fan Yin to the car and forced him to leave. He couldn’t stand the embarrassment; when his cousin said the word “Brother-in-law” earlier, he had wanted to dig a hole to bury himself in.

After Fan Xi and Fan Yin got into the car and left, the atmosphere stagnated a little. Who knew if it was because of Fan Yin’s “Brother-in-law.”

Chi Shuyan blinked and looked at the man in front of her. She didn’t see any expression on his face, so she didn’t argue. She heard the man say in a deep voice, “I’ll drop you off. Get in the car!”

Chi Shuyan nodded. “Okay.”

Chi Shuyan was still a bit absent-minded as she sat in the passenger seat. She pondered for a moment and finally asked about Grandpa’s condition. As soon as she asked about his health, the atmosphere between the two of them became much lighter. Qi Zhenbai also patiently talked about Grandpa and said that he was fine and just had minor ailments. He should be discharged in a day or two.

Chi Shuyan nodded in understanding. “That’s good!”

After a while, the man suddenly asked again, “Are you going to see Grandpa in the evening?”

The man’s tone was casual. On a closer look, his knuckles on the steering wheel were white. Chi Shuyan didn’t notice, and nodded. “Yes!”

“Mm!”
