Chapter 2119: Chapter 2121: An Elite

Speaking of the eldest grandson of the Qi family, he’s quite a legendary figure. Whether it’s due to heredity or something else, he’s even more outstanding and successful than his parents.

When he was young, others hadn’t started school yet, but it was said that he could already speak English fluently. After starting school, he jumped a grade every three years, not just one grade but two. When others were still in high school, he was already admitted as a special exceptional student at the age of sixteen to study at university.

It’s said that this was requested by Cheng Su, who didn’t want him to advance too quickly for fear of losing peers he could relate to.

Qi Fang himself didn’t mind, thinking that friendship isn’t determined by age. There are friendships across generations as well as timely ones, and the key is whether they hit it off.

However, since his mother requested it, Qi Fang complied by finishing four years of university serenely, but soon went abroad to pursue a master’s degree or something similar.

The eldest son of the Qi family, which is Qi Taiguo, now resides in Guangcheng. This time, it’s because the elderly parents passed away, wishing to return to their roots, that they came here to hold the funeral.

When they were alive, only the elder couple lived here in the ancestral home. The younger generation rarely returned to the village except for festivals.

Especially Qi Fang, who was often flying around researching in various countries and later managing family business matters, seldom returned to the village.

Over the years, Qi Fang had grown into a formidable elite nearly thirty years old.

So, hearing Qi Yan call, everyone was curious and quietly whispering to each other.

Seeing Qi Taiguo’s wife come out wearing mourning clothes, placing a white cloth strip on her son’s arm, she half reproachfully and half teasingly scolded him and took him inside.

Qi Fang, with a good temper, allowed his mother to scold him, merely smiling. Before entering, seeing everyone looking at him, he nodded with a smile as a greeting, showing great courtesy.

"Oh my, he’s grown up so well, so tall and stylish. Even wearing black clothes, he looks so good," an aunt exaggeratedly praised, patting her chest.

"After all, he’s a child from a wealthy family; our village boys can’t compare. He looks like nobility!" someone else chimed in.

"I heard he’s not married yet."

"Even if he’s not married, it wouldn’t be our village girls’ turn; they’re all wild girls anyway."

"..."

With Cheng Su’s instructions, Qi Fang, or Xiao Qi, offered his incense, respectfully knelt, bowed, and presented the incense again, his expression solemn.

He is the Qi family’s firstborn legitimate grandson. He returned only because his grandmother passed away. He had been abroad negotiating business these days, but upon receiving the call about his grandmother’s critical condition, he immediately rushed back, unfortunately not in time to see her one last time.

After paying respects with the incense, he followed the instructions of the priests to perform various rituals he as the eldest grandson was supposed to do.

Amidst the sound of gongs and cymbals interwoven with chants, Qi Fang completed everything, breaking into a sweat.

Cheng Su took out tissues, thoughtfully wiping her son’s sweat, and reproachfully asked, "Why are you only back now? Didn’t you book the ticket immediately upon receiving the phone call?"

"There were some minor disruptions before boarding; the flight was delayed. I’m sorry," Qi Fang said apologetically.

"Keep those words for your grandmother. Before she passed, she was quite clear-headed and just wanted to see you one last time." Cheng Su sighed gently. Despite the past issues, Mother Qi spoke dismissively, but deep down, still cared greatly for this eldest grandson. Now that she’s gone, there’s a feeling of everything finally settling into the dust.

Qi Fang looked silently at the person lying on the Cloud Board.

"Xiao Qi, there’s a guest about to leave; go and see them off!" Qi Taiguo walked over and instructed his son.
