Nie Jiqing tried his best to keep his smile from being so obvious, lest Ye Zhi would notice something was wrong.
Nie Jiqing personally took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and wanted to put them in front of Ye Zhi: "These are newly removed slippers. No one wears them."
Ye Zhi was flattered, she immediately squatted down and said, "I'll do it myself."
Nie Jiqing knew that he had done too much, but still couldn't help but want to care more about Xia Yezhi.
When Ye Zhi changed his shoes and walked into the living room, Nie Jiqing walked beside her: "I asked the chef to prepare some meals, I don't know if it suits your liking."
Ye Zhi thought she was just coming over to say a few words, and didn't expect to have dinner here, but when she saw Nie Jiqing, she couldn't say her refusal.
"I'm not picky eaters."
Nie Jiqing noticed that Ye Zhi hesitated for a moment, but he agreed to it, and his depressed mood immediately improved.
The table was already full of all kinds of food, and the fragrance came out. Ye Zhi was taken aback when he saw such a full table of food.
Nie Jiqing opened the chair next to him, let Ye Zhi sit down, and scooped her a bowl of soup himself: "Drink some soup first."
Zhao Ma on the side was stunned. It was the first time she saw his wife in such a good mood. In the past, there was a faint regret and sadness in her smile, but now it is joy from the heart.
As an old man of the Sheng family, Zhao Ma knows the inside story. The biological daughter of the Sheng family is lost, and Sheng Man is just an adopted daughter.
Although Shengman coaxed his wife happily, she really laughed at this time.
Because Ye Zhi had the memory of the original owner and still remembered the plot in the book, she knew what the Sheng family did to the original owner, so she was a little bit conflicted at first.
Now that Nie Jiqing is like this, Ye Zhi is a little uncomfortable, and Ye Zhi immediately took the bowl: "You don't need to do this, I can do it myself."
Nie Jiqing suppressed disappointment and withdrew her hand. Seeing the suspiciousness in Ye Zhi's eyes, she could only turn the topic away.
Although Nie Jiqing was extremely unwilling to mention Shengman at this time, he had to use Shengman's affairs to alleviate Ye Zhi's doubts.
Nie Jiqing took the selected necklace and placed it next to Ye Zhi: "This is a little bit of my heart. I hope you can accept it."
When Nie Jiqing opened the box, Madam Zhao discovered that the necklace was wrapped around her for a long time, and she didn't give it to her.
Unexpectedly, the wife would give Ye Zhi the necklace now. She always felt that she had vaguely spied some truth.
Ye Zhi glanced at Nie Jiqing's posture, and immediately said seriously, "I can't accept it."
Ye Zhi only now understood why Nie Jiqing invited her over.
Ye Zhi guessed that it might be the first time that Nie Jiqing saw Shengman use Sheng family power to bully others, so he felt very guilty for her.
Ye Zhi sighed lightly: "Mrs. Nie, you don't have to be like this. You have helped me preside over justice, and Sheng Man also apologized to me. You don't need to take this matter to heart anymore."
"I won't talk nonsense about what Shengman did. Don't worry, other people won't know."
Nie Jiqing blocked her chest in one breath, and she didn't care if Shengman had a good reputation. If Shengman really fell into the bottom, she would feel happy.
Nie Jiqing put away the necklace silently, his expression slightly dim.
Ye Zhi was a little overwhelmed when he saw Nie Jiqing doing this. Could it be that his tone was too serious
Ye Zhi took a sip of the soup that Nie Jiqing had scooped for her just now: "It's delicious."
When Nie Jiqing heard what Ye Zhi said, his attention was immediately focused on Ye Zhi: "Really? Would you like to drink another bowl."
Ye Zhi immediately stopped: "No need."
Nie Jiqing glanced at the dishes on the table, her eyes fell on the same dish, her tone was a little tentative.
"Do you like this dish?"
Ye Zhi looked at the dish Nie Jiqing pointed to, and shook his head: "Sorry, I can't eat it because I'm allergic to peanuts."
Nie Jiqing's eyes lit up, and her Luoluo had been allergic to peanuts since she was a child.
Nie Jiqing felt that she was one step closer to hope, and she began to inquire about Ye Zhi's background quietly.
"I have read your information on the Internet. You seem to have been adopted. I don't know if you are in contact with your biological parents."
Ye Zhi was stunned for a few seconds, but she didn't mean to touch Nie Jiqing for a while and didn't answer immediately.
Nie Jiqing immediately added: "I'm really sorry, because of Shengman's matter last time, I went to the Internet to check your information."
Ye Zhi nodded and did not answer specifically: "My adoptive parents are very good to me."
Nie Jiqing was a little relieved at first, and then tentatively said: "I saw your birthday. It seems that your birthday has not passed this year. I want to give you a birthday present."
Ye Zhi: "I understand your kindness, so I don't need to bother."
Nie Jiqing's voice was slightly urgent: "Your birthday is May 15th. Is this your real birthday? Or did your adoptive parents decide it for you?"
Luoluo's birthday is May 10th. If Ye Zhi's birthday can match, he can be sure of the majority.
Although Ye Zhi felt that Nie Jiqing had asked too carefully, she answered seriously.
"It's a real birthday."
Ye Zhi inherited the memory of the original owner, but even the original owner did not know what her own birthday was. She was too young when she was abducted, and many things have been forgotten.
The adoptive parents of the first adopter did not know the true birthday of the original owner, and Liu Cang couldn't tell them clearly, so they regarded the date of adoption as their birthday.
When the original owner was abducted, it happened to be in May, so the two birthday dates were so close.
Nie Jiqing showed obvious disappointment, but she still didn't give up, she even wanted to take Ye Zhi directly to do a paternity test.
But she was afraid of frightening Ye Zhi, so she had to wait for the people who were investigating to come back. After getting the exact information, they proceeded to the next step.
Nie Jiqing's emotions were very ups and downs at this moment, her eyes still had a faint black green, and her face was tired.
Ye Zhi became more and more strange, and she couldn't bear to persuade her.
"You don't seem to sleep well, do you want to take a break? I will leave soon."
Nie Jiqing suppressed the sadness that came up, hearing Ye Zhi's concern, she filled her heart with warmth.
"It was I who asked to invite you to dinner, so let's wait until you finish your dinner."
Ye Zhi had no choice but to respond. After eating, Ye Zhi was held by Nie Jiqing again and chatted with her for a while before leaving the Shengzhai.
It was not until Ye Zhi left that Madam Zhao dared to ask: "Madam, could it be that Ye Zhi...?"
Nie Jiqing sat weakly on the sofa: "I suspect she is my daughter. Although there are still some doubts, I have sent someone to investigate."
Zhao's mother was shocked. She had seen Sheng Luo when she was young and had also seen Nie Jiqing's pain, so she naturally wouldn't talk nonsense.
I only hope that the results of the investigation will come out soon. Ye Zhi is really the biological daughter of the Sheng family.
When Ye Zhi left the Sheng's house, Sheng Man just drove over.
Since she learned about Shengman's current situation from Sheng Lian's mouth, she was hit hard, and after spending a few days at home, she thought of what she really should do now.
Shengman had made preparations before going out, but when she didn't expect to wait for her car to drive near the Sheng's house, she suddenly panicked again.
Sheng Man stopped the car, she leaned in the driver's seat, looking at the Sheng Mansion not far away, not daring to step forward.
Shengman had guessed what Sheng Lian did before, but she could pretend to be unaware before the matter was clear.
Now all the truth was laid before her eyes, she was afraid and hesitated in her heart, she was really afraid that she would expose her flaws in front of the Sheng family.
As long as she reveals her stuff, she will be plunged into an unrecoverable hell, and everything she has will instantly disappear.
Sheng Man's carefully maintained hands clasped the steering wheel. She looked at Shengzhai for a long time, and finally prepared to start the car, turn the front of the car and leave.
When Shengman looked up, a car he had never seen before drove out of the Sheng Mansion and drove in the opposite direction.
With the car facing Shengman, she could only see a young woman sitting in the driver's seat, but did not see the person's face.
Sheng Man shook her head, feeling suspicious, and immediately turned the steering wheel. She left without even passing the door of Sheng's house.
Shengman believed that she would still have a chance to win back Nie Jiqing's favor, but she did not expect that her life was about to change drastically.
When Ye Zhi and Sheng Man left the Sheng Mansion, a car drove into the Sheng Mansion. It was the car of Mrs. Gu's sister Qin Ling.
Qin Ling and Nie Jiqing have been friends for many years, and she knows many things about the Sheng family. That's why she told Ye Zhi that Sheng Man was not the biological daughter of the Sheng family.
Qin Ling had an appointment with Nie Jiqing a few days ago. As soon as she walked in, she found that Nie Jiqing's condition was not right.
Nie Jiqing's whole body was as if she had lost her soul, without any energy, and her eyes were blue and black, and she seemed to be worried.
When Nie Jiqing saw Qin Ling, she realized that she had forgotten that she had agreed with Qin Ling.
"Sorry, I forgot the time."
Qin Ling doesn't care about with Nie Jiqing either. She has a hearty temper and doesn't like to hide and tuck, so she just asked, "What happened?"
Nie Jiqing knew that she didn't need to hide Qin Ling, anyway, she was also ready to deal with Sheng Lian and them, and everyone would know soon.
Nie Jiqing looked outside, closed the door, waited until no one was gone, and then raised doubts about Ye Zhi's life with Qin Ling.
"I'm wondering if Ye Zhi is my daughter, but I have tried her, and some of the information is not correct. Now my husband and I are waiting for the investigator to return and report."
When Qin Ling heard Ye Zhi's name, he was visibly stunned. Nie Jiqing was in his emotions and did not notice Qin Ling's strangeness.
Qin Ling looked at Nie Jiqing's appearance, and she had an idea.
Although Nie Jiqing had a lot of worries, she had frequent contacts with Ye Zhi. As long as she was interested, she could get Ye Zhi's identification samples.
If the result is wrong, only she knows about it.
If Ye Zhi's DNA can match Nie Jiqing, then the two will meet each other for a day.
After Qin Ling left the Sheng Mansion, he did not mention this to anyone.
When Ye Zhi went home, the sky was already dark. She knew she would not go home early this time, so she had already told Gu Ren in advance.
Ye Zhi told Gu Ren not to worry, but when her car was about to reach the door, she saw the long, stern figure at the door.
It's Gu Ren.
She was startled, but she felt that his behavior was expected.
The dark sky was suppressed, and Gu Ren stood under the street lamp, patiently waiting for Ye Zhi's return.
Since knowing about her relationship with Nie Jiqing, Gu Ren would not let go of her mind so easily.
Ye Zhi slowed down, she stared at Gu Ren through the front window of the car. A sense of peace of mind filled his mind, when he stood there, it was like the direction of home.
This home is her gentle and powerful shelter.
After Ye Zhi got out of the car, the driver of Gu's family took her car key, drove the car away, and parked it in the garage of her home.
Only Gu Ren and Ye Zhi stayed at the door. The wind in the early spring was still chilling, passing the black night and crossing the whole road.
Ye Zhi looked straight at Gu Ren: "How long have you been waiting?"
Gu Ren answered ambiguously: "Maybe half an hour."
Ye Zhi scanned Gu Ren's face, trying to find the answer from his expression. Gu Ren's expression was extremely pale, like a deserted moon in the dark night.
Gu Ren calmly changed the subject: "What did you guys talk about?"
After Ye Zhi smoothed his thoughts, he told Gu Ren of today's conversation intact.
Gu Ren frowned slightly, her eyes were dark, her tone of voice was not heavy, but her voice was extremely clear: "Did she find something?"
Ye Zhi and Gu Ren glanced at each other, and they both noticed Nie Jiqing's strangeness.
They have sent people to investigate and collect evidence, and they must remain silent until they have enough evidence.
Because Ye Zhi's message was learned from the book, if she directly stated her identity, it would definitely arouse Nie Jiqing's suspicion.
Ye Zhi had to pretend to be ignorant, for she is the best now.
As for Sheng Lian, he has a ghost in his heart, as long as there is a change, he will definitely show his feet. That is the best time to gather evidence.
Then, everything is a matter of course.
While analyzing, the two walked into the home garden.
On both sides of the Huayuan Road are street lights very close together, because taking into account Gu Ren’s night blindness, Gu’s house must be kept bright at night.
As he walked, the light flashed suddenly, and Ye Zhi stopped and looked up.
This street lamp was shining with extremely unstable light, and Ye Zhi always felt that it would go out in the next second.
Ye Zhi said, "It's time to fix the street lights."
Gu Ren tilted his head and glanced at the flickering street lamp, and gave a faint hum.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the voice fell, the street light completed its glorious mission, and at the right time, it went out.
The light disappeared and darkness fell.
Ye Zhi let out a cry, extremely nervous. She hurriedly pulled out the phone from her bag, turned on the flashlight, and illuminated the road in front of her.
"So you can see it." Ye Zhi's immediate concern was Gu Ren's night blindness.
Gu Ren turned his head and saw Ye Zhi beside him. Her expression was flustered, but her eyes were serious.
He didn't answer, just stared at her quietly.
The light in Ye Zhi's hands was white, and the road in front of them was also very bright and white. But at this time, this is no longer the point.
Gu Ren slowly leaned over and met Ye Zhi's eyes.
Gu Ren's eyes were dark and deep. When he looked at her, his eyes were very bright. They were brilliant in the silent night. He lowered his eyes and scanned Ye Zhi's small nose and his skin as white as jade.
There was a short moment on her lips.
Then, Gu Ren's gaze moved back again and looked at her again.
Everything just happened quickly, Ye Zhi didn't come back to his senses, and didn't know what he was thinking.
As if an appointment, none of them spoke.
Somehow, in this silence, there was an inexplicable sense of ambiguity.
About half a minute later, Gu Ren, who had been motionless, lowered his head quickly, and then lowered his head again until their distance was reduced to only one inch.
Ye Zhi's slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and in the next second, Gu Ren moved closer, and her eyelashes just passed his eye.
Suddenly a warm touch came on his lips, and Ye Zhi suffocated his breath.
Her heartbeat was frantic, and the night wind stopped at some point, and all her surroundings were so quiet that there was nothing but breathing.
Gu Ren stretched out his hand, gently covering Ye Zhi's back with his slender fingers, encircling her, and narrowing the distance between the two.
Ye Zhi's hand shook, and the phone slipped from her hand and fell on the grass beside her. As early spring is approaching, the grass is showing its head.
Click.
The screen of the mobile phone was facing upwards, and the flash that had just turned on fell into a piece of green grass. The light was covered by the surrounding darkness, and only a little light was faintly revealed.
The surroundings seemed to be plunged into darkness, the villas in the distance were lit, and the light over there seemed remote and misty.
This place is like an isolated paradise.
Not to be disturbed, not to be invaded by others.
Ye Zhi closed his eyes and closed his eyelids quietly, blocking the light outside, as if to accompany Gu Ren to experience his dark world with no scenery.
If there is only a faint light, for him, it is night.
Gu Ren gave Ye Zhi a serious kiss in the dark night he was accustomed to.
