Guide To Reign My Tycoon Husbands-Chapter 528: A reasonable request
Qi Yongrui's cheeks turned red when he saw that the woman was looking at him with rapt attention. His eyelashes fluttered against his cheeks as he nodded. At that moment, Qi Yongrui was certain that even if Luo Huian asked him to hand his entire empire over to him, he would hand it all over.
When Qi Changpu saw that the mer in front of her was shyly smiling at Luo Huian and even agreeing to everything that she was saying to him, she was filled with a sudden rage that made her tremble.
How could this mer do such a thing? Could he not see her? She was the one who took care of him when he was just a child, and yet this mer, now that he had found another backer, had turned his back on her. Did he think that she was dead!? Or did she forget who he belonged to?
Her expression turned cold as she cleared her throat and said, "Yongrui."
When Qi Yongrui heard her voice, he trembled from top to bottom. He was very familiar with this tone, and he knew that this was Qi Changpu's warning to him to stop causing trouble. He pursed his lips and clenched his fists in his lap. He wanted to fight back, but the fear that had been instilled within his heart since he was a child made it impossible for him to even open his mouth, much less fight back.
Just as he was about to collapse, a hand reached out and patted him on the back of his hand. Qi Yongrui, who was trapped in the nightmare of his past, snapped out of his memories. He raised his head and looked at the woman beside him with a surprised look on his face, as he had never expected her to support him like this.
Luo Huian softly smiled at him. Her gentle smile made Qi Yongrui's heart tremble slightly, but what made him even more touched was when the woman said to her, "Don't worry, I am here. She cannot do anything to you."
'This woman…' Qi Yongrui ducked his head with burning cheeks. He bit his lip, not knowing what to do. Why did this woman smile like this? And she just knew what to say to him. Was she really the Luo Huian whom he knew? Since when did she learn how to coax a mer so well?
"Miss Luo!" Realising that Luo Huian was trying to show off in front of her, Qi Changpu was filled with anger. She felt disgusted and asked unhappily, "Just what do you think you are doing?"
"What do you mean, Miss Qi?" Luo Huian arched a brow as she raised her head and looked at Qi Changpu, who was staring at her as if she wanted to drink her blood and eat her flesh. However, even though she was staring at her with that vicious gaze, Luo Huian was rather calm.
She didn't seem bothered by the malicious gaze and even smiled at the woman before saying to her, "I just thought that my husband was a little scared of you because of his reactions, but oh, don't take me wrong. I am not saying that you are a cruel and ruthless woman who abused him when he was living with you."
"I just think that he is a little comfortable under your presence and nothing else. Please don't mind my words, as I believe that there is nothing wrong with this; after all, you are his elder sister. I think it's a similar case with everyone. Every younger brother must be absolutely terrified of his elder sister."
She cupped her cheek and shyly remarked, "It is just that I am used to playing around with my elder sister and never felt scared in her presence, so I cannot understand Rui's rejection."
Though Luo Huian didn't say anything, Qi Changpu knew that she was calling her out for tormenting Qi Yongrui. Her expression shifted again and again, and she could hardly maintain the smile on her lips.
She knew that Luo Huian had changed, but she never thought that she had changed so much. Every word that came out of her mouth was filled with the smell of gunpowder, which made Qi Changpu rather annoyed.
Compared to this, Luo Huian— she liked the old one better. At least she was easy to manipulate.
Though Qi Changpu was annoyed, she knew that there was nothing she could do at the moment. Luo Huian was absolutely refusing to listen to a thing that she had to say. Even if she wanted to kick the woman out, she didn't think that she could do it.
Given that Luo Huian came here, she must have come here prepared.
Qi Changpu was filled with silent rage but when she thought about the crisis the Qi family was going through, she could only grit her teeth and lower her head. She said to Qi Yongrui while ignoring Luo Huian, "Yongrui, did you hear what happened to our family?"
"Ah," Qi Yongrui curled his lips when he heard Qi Changpu's question. He neither agreed nor denied. This woman was really good when the Qi family was flourishing; it was her family, and when the family was in trouble, it was their family. It was really good.
Just like his father-in-law said, the Qi family was really good with calculations.
When Qi Changpu saw that Qi Yongrui was looking rather calm instead of worried, her heart clenched with worry. She had a feeling that things were slowly getting out of control and she didn't like it.

"Yongrui, I know that we did wrong to you this time around, but as you can help us this time, I promise that we will never let such a mistake be repeated. As for your brother-in-law, who caused the trouble, I have already punished him."
Qi Changpu was confident that as long as she lowered her head and softened her tone, Qi Yongrui would certainly listen to her. But this time she was wrong. Was an apology enough? Did she think that it would be enough to make Qi Yongrui forget the fact that he had been turned into a cripple because of the Qi family?
If she thought that it was possible, then she was wrong!
With a blank look in his eyes, Qi Yongrui stared at his elder sister and then said to her, "I can help your family, but…"
Qi Changpu, who just felt a surge of triumph in her heart, frowned when she heard the mer say that there was a condition attached to it. She waved her hand carelessly and said, "There is no need to worry; since you are being so generous, then I will ask Mother to take you on a trip with us the next time we go to country J. Did you not say that you like sushi?"
When Qi Yongrui heard the careless words of his good sister, the last bit of hope that he held towards the Qi family disappeared completely. He curled his lips and then said to his sister, "Do you think that I can still ride a plane and fly all the way over to country J? Sister, it seems like you are treating my disability as a fever or cold."
"Then what do you want?" Qi Changpu asked. Don't tell her that the Luo family provoked Qi Yongrui and asked him to get his hands on the Qi family's shares. As this thought came to her mind; she turned to look at Luo Huian and glared at her angrily.
In response to her gaze, Luo Huian simply raised a brow. She didn't even do anything, and yet this woman was glaring at her as if she had done some great wrong to her.
Was she crazy?
"There is no need to glare at my… wife." How could Qi Yongrui not notice that Qi Changpu was blaming Luo Huian? He pursed his lips and calmly said to her, "This matter has nothing to do with her. I am the one who planned it all out."
"No, Yongrui. You don't understand; sometimes you are so naive —people can easily manipulate you —"
"Like you all did?" Qi Yongrui smiled and questioned. His eyes were filled with a glint that held such sharp edges that Qi Changpu felt like she was about to be skinned.
"Yongrui—"
"There is no need for you to say anything; I have made my decision. If you want my help in saving your Qi family, then you need to listen to my request," Qi Yongrui stated in a cold voice. Since he had made up his mind, he was not going to change it.
Qi Changpu pursed her lips and finally sighed. She said, "Very well. Since this is what you want, then I will hear your request, but I am telling you that even if we are in trouble, our Qi family will never entertain ridiculous requests."
"Don't worry. You can certainly fulfil this request of mine."
