Chapter 398: The Unpredictable Third Child of the Jiang Family, Gossip is Also Inherited (2nd Update)_2

**

Qi Family

When Qi Zeyan and Ruan Mengxi came back, the old grandfather was sitting on the sofa, watching some legal affairs program.

"Um..." Ruan Mengxi had just escorted the boss home and was naturally preparing to leave, but as soon as she started to speak, the old man called her over to sit down for tea, "Xiaoruan, sit. You, a young girl, running around with this kid must be tiring."

He was well aware of the trouble his grandson could cause.

"Not tired." Not only was this person Qi Zeyan’s grandfather, but he was also the former CEO of the company, and Ruan Mengxi respected him from the bottom of her heart.

"Don’t be polite, sit."

With the old man’s enthusiasm, Ruan Mengxi sat down, but as soon as Qi Zeyan’s rear touched the sofa, he was met with a stern shout, "Did I say you could sit?"

"Grandfather." Qi Zeyan frowned, thinking it ridiculous that the assistant might sit while he, the boss, had to stand.

"Go make Xiaoruan a cup of tea."

Ruan Mengxi felt a sudden jolt in her heart, "Old Chairman, there’s no need, I..."

How could she dare to have Qi Zeyan wait on her?

"I should pour tea for her? She’s my assistant, and you’re asking me to serve her?" Qi Zeyan knew his grandfather was doing it on purpose just to make things difficult for him, using Ruan Mengxi as an excuse.

"It’s off-work hours now, and she’s a guest in our house. Is pouring a cup of tea for a guest too beneath you? Have you gotten so above yourself that I can’t ask this of you anymore?"

"Fine, I’ll pour the tea!" Qi Zeyan said as he entered the kitchen, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Ruan Mengxi. She quickly stood up, slightly bowing, and accepted with both hands, "Thank you, boss."

"When has the Qi Family ever sunken so low as to serve guests plain water?" the old man scoffed.

"Old Chairman, I like drinking plain water." Ruan Mengxi was already flattered that he had poured her water; she rarely received such treatment at the company and quickly tried to defuse the situation for Qi Zeyan.

"Really?" The old man knew well that Ruan Mengxi was this scoundrel’s assistant and it was normal for her to be fearful, "Look at how you’ve scared Xiaoruan, Zeyan."

Qi Zeyan was caught between laughter and tears, thinking it wasn’t him who frightened her; it was all the old man’s doing...
