Chapter 364 - 365: Disagree to Adopt a Goddaughter
Qi Jiayuan spoke with a solemn expression, "Although the person has been dealt with, the rumors spreading outside are disadvantageous to you. My father and I have thought of a countermeasure."
"My father plans to adopt you as his foster daughter. Firstly, it can block the outside rumors, and secondly, both he and I truly admire your actions."
In Qi Jiayuan’s eyes, there was undeniable sincerity, no hint of ulterior motives —— he simply and genuinely admired her for who she was.
Upon hearing this, Shao He shook her head in refusal, "To put it like this is unfair to the Qi Family; how could someone with my current status be fit to become the foster daughter of the Qi Family?"
She worried that if she really did this, it could bring significant trouble to the Qi Family.
Currently, there were many who opposed her, and she didn’t wish to drag the Qi Family into it further.
"But..."
"Miss Qi, don’t worry about me. If these rumors and slander could truly harm me, I wouldn’t know how many times I’ve ’died’ by now."
Seeing that her mind was made up, Qi Jiayuan wanted to persuade her further, but Shao He interrupted him, "The sky is growing dark; why not stay for a meal?"
"Alright."
Shao He ordered the kitchen staff to prepare more food, and Qingxia, seeing the lady and Qi Jiayuan enjoying each other’s company, couldn’t help but sigh, "Is the young lady planning to turn an enemy into a friend?"
