Chapter 144 You're Not a Good Person
The teacup hit Qi Ji squarely on the bridge of his nose with considerable force. Blood gushed from his nose, and Qi Ji stood there, stunned.
Also stunned was the perpetrator, Sang Qiqi.
Seeing this, Fei Fei instructed the young apprentice who had followed Qi Ji in to quickly tidy him up. She looked at Sang Qiqi and said, "Young lady, while my brother-in-law may be a bit mischievous, he's not as bad as you describe. Do you think the descendants of the Qi family would do something like kidnapping or human trafficking?"
Sang Qiqi only remembered what happened before she fainted, and of course she didn't know that Qi Ji was actually the one who saved her. Therefore, she mistakenly thought that Qi Ji and the other two were human traffickers. Just now, she seemed to have heard the words "Qi family."
"Excuse me, is the Qi family that this lady mentioned the same Qi family, a family of imperial physicians with a history of over a hundred years?" Sang Qiqi asked softly.
Fei Fei nodded affirmatively: "That's right, it's that Qi family. However, our branch of the family has no interest in becoming imperial physicians, so we returned to our ancestral home to open a clinic."
Sang Qiqi realized there might be a misunderstanding, but she still stubbornly asked, "Since that young master comes from such a wealthy family, why would he do something like refusing to help someone in distress and even hindering them?"
Following Sang Qiqi's slender, delicate fingers, Fei Fei suppressed a laugh as she watched Qi Ji struggling to stop his nosebleed. The young apprentice, probably inexperienced in handling such matters, was quite flustered.

"Ouch, my little darling, please be careful! Can't you see my nose is already injured? If you hurt it again, will I even have a nose left?" Qi Ji no longer cared about his image. His usual roguishness came out, making Sang Qiqi stare wide-eyed.
“He looks like a complete scoundrel. I don’t believe he wasn’t just standing by and watching the show. Those kinds of thugs love to join in the fun, especially spoiled brats like him.” Sang Qiqi confirmed her judgment once again.
Fei Fei looked at Qi Ji speechlessly. Clearly, he had toned down his roguish ways over the past few years. Now he was the epitome of a refined and charming young gentleman. Why was he acting so out of character today, directly revealing his纨绔 (wán kù, a spoiled, dissolute young man) nature?
“Young lady, although my uncle is a playboy, he is not the kind of person who would stand idly by and watch someone die. On the contrary, he is a very righteous person, and he will definitely help if he sees injustice,” Fei Fei explained for Qi Ji.
Sang Qiqi argued vehemently, "No, that's not true. Sister, you don't know how wicked that person was. I was running just fine, and he actually stuck out his foot to trip me. Fine, I could just get up and run again. But he actually pulled me back. What's most hateful is that he personally handed me over to those bad guys. Sister, tell me, where is the justice in someone like that? He even offered to help? Oh, he did help, but not me."
Fei Fei broke out in a cold sweat; she had no idea about such inside information.
“Young lady, if my uncle really hadn’t helped, wouldn’t you have been taken away by those bad guys by now? Besides, it was my uncle who carried you back to the clinic.” Fei Fei could only analyze.
Sang Qiqi wasn't sure either. After all, she was indeed in someone's clinic. Most importantly, she was perfectly fine; she had just had a peaceful sleep.
“Then they must all be in cahoots. That explains it. They did that just to stage a hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress scene. Yes, that’s it.” The more Sang Qiqi talked, the more convinced she was that her analysis was completely correct.
Feifei was completely devastated.
"Young lady, your idea is brilliant. How about you consider writing scripts for opera troupes? I always feel that your scripts will definitely be popular, really." After finally getting her nose treated, Qi Ji came over.
At that moment, they stood in the courtyard. The midday summer sun was so strong that you could fry an egg on your head. Sang Qiqi spread her arms out, shielding her eyes from the glaring sunlight.
Seeing this, Wei Yu went straight into the house. As he walked, he said, "Look at you people who aren't afraid of the sun, I'm so envious!"
Fei Fei observed everything, a slight smile playing on her lips. Qi Ji was always like this, thoughtful and affectionate, always showing his tenderness and protectiveness towards women.
Sang Qiqi made a big, angry face behind the uncle and sister-in-law before reluctantly following them inside.
Wei Yu sat lazily in the small side hall, instructing the maidservants inside to bring him tea and snacks. It was already noon, and he hadn't had lunch yet. After running around all morning and rescuing a troublesome person, he was quite tired.
Sang Qiqi sat opposite Qi Ji, her large, bright almond-shaped eyes glaring at him with anger.
Under such scrutiny, Qi Ji finally couldn't take it anymore.
"Miss, just say what you want to say. Don't look at me like that, it makes me shy." Qi Ji said this without blushing or skipping a beat.
"Pah! What a shameless playboy. Tell me, why did you trip me back then?" Sang Qiqi asked with disdain.
Qi Ji's lips twitched, and he replied casually, "That's just a habit. In the past, whenever I was fighting with someone and someone ran towards me, I would stick out my foot and trip them."
Qi Ji certainly wouldn't dare tell Sang Qiqi that he tripped her because he wanted to see what she looked like. That was just his habit.
Sang Qiqi felt that shouldn't be the case, but she couldn't find a reason to refute it. So she continued, "And then what? Why did you hold me back and not let me run away?"
Qi Ji was even more self-righteous. He retorted, "With your appearance, if I really let you go, do you think you'd be kidnapped by someone else?"
Sang Qiqi was speechless. She knew she was stunningly beautiful and had plenty to offer. Therefore, she rarely showed herself in public. This morning, after she fell, her veil seemed to have fallen off.
So...
"Then why did you hand me over to those two people later? You were just afraid of dying and refused to help, weren't you?" Sang Qiqi struggled in the end.
Qi Ji shrugged and answered frankly, "That's right. At that time, the only way I could get away unscathed was to hand you over to those two."
Feifei sat quietly to the side listening, and several times she wanted to spit out her tea.
"Hmph, I knew you weren't a good person. Alright, where are my servants? I'm going back." Sang Qiqi was absolutely furious.
Qi Ji didn't know how Fei Fei had arranged things for the two injured girls, so he asked with his eyes.
“One of your girls was given too much sleeping pills and will probably need to sleep for another day or two. The other girl has a dislocated right arm and sprained both ankles. They are both resting in the room next to yours,” Fei Fei said.
After Fei Fei finished speaking, Qi Ji said, "Those two servants have been called to the yamen to identify the suspect. They should be done by now and it's almost time to go back and report. I believe the person who is to pick you up will arrive at the clinic soon."
After listening to her uncle and sister-in-law's words, Sang Qiqi murmured to herself, "So, we were rescued by the government. That's good, that's good."
Qi Ji rolled his eyes as he listened, and asked curiously, "Why don't you think I saved you?"
Sang Qiqi replied, "I can tell you're not a good person the moment I see you, so naturally I won't kindly help you. I'm not blind, why would I need to ask?"
Fei Fei, who was trying hard to suppress her laughter, really wanted to tell Sang Qiqi that she had truly been blind.
