Chi Lanyan took a step back slowly, and after finally seeing Chi Xia's face clearly, she hugged Chi Xia.
She rubbed her daughter in her arms, hot tears fell, and she wiped off her delicate makeup. She looked at her daughter's face several times and hugged her several times. No matter how Chi Xia apologized, Chi Lanyan shook her head.
She repeated: "It's okay, it's okay Xiaoxia, just come back, just come back."
"Mom, I shouldn't have disobeyed you. It's my fault. You can beat me and scold me."
Chi Lanyan looked at her daughter anxiously, looked at her haggard face, and probably guessed something: "Are you wronged? He bullied you? How dare he bully you?!"
"He didn't bully me, but he..."
Chi Xia couldn't continue, she bit her lip, she didn't have the face to answer at all.
Or in other words, she still doesn't know the specific truth of this matter. But putting aside these twists and turns, the most deadly thing is that Jin Chengjun has admitted to her personally that he was indeed helped and inspired by others, so he mustered up the courage to pursue her.
When Chi Xia thought of this, tears filled her eyes, and she choked up her speech.
Fortunately, after Chi Xia ran away from home this time, Chi Lanyan was no longer as stubborn as before. She accepted it as soon as she saw it, and didn't continue to press her. Afterwards, she rubbed Chi Xia's head and comforted Chi Xia, making Chi Xia stop crying.
Now that the child is home, there is no rush to know what's going on.
She held Chi Xia's hand and squeezed it: "Let's not talk about this, your hair is still wet, hurry up and dry it. Get a good night's sleep tonight. Mom won't go to work tomorrow, so she will stay with you at home." you."
Chi Xia nodded vigorously, the belated rebellious energy in her body seemed to have been wiped away outside.
Although Chi Lanyan has always been strict with her, in life, Chi Lanyan has never treated her badly. Chi Xia has never experienced any hardship since she was a child, and when she grows up, she is a rich second-generation daughter who is well protected by her family.
It is precisely because of this protection that Chi Xia is full of unrealistic fantasies about untouched love.
Therefore, when she tasted the sweetness of love for the first time, she disregarded her parents' advice and learned to elope with others. In the end, all the hardships were borne, but happiness ran counter to her.
Due to Chi Xia's stubbornness, the relationship between Jin Chengjun and her was not smooth.
One desperately wants her boyfriend to prove herself, but the other just wants to live an ordinary life with her girlfriend. Their family backgrounds are different, their growth paths are different, and the results they yearn for will inevitably not be the same.
Life will not be as beautiful as the books Chi Xia read since childhood, it is full of all kinds of sour reality and human nature.
It was late at night, and after putting Chi Xia to sleep, Chi Lanyan walked wearily to the living room and sat down.
She frowned slightly, her mood plummeted.
Aunt Su brought her a cup of hot water, and said softly, "Miss, I don't know what kind of hardships she suffered outside, she's not what she used to be at all."
It's like a different person.
Chi Lanyan rubbed her temples with a headache: "Did Xiaoxia come back alone?"
"People from Ji's family brought it back, and they said it was the lady who went to pick it up over there." Aunt Su thought that Chi Xia would call Chi Lanyan as soon as she got home, but when she saw the heavy rain outside, Chi Lanyan was so fast I got home, so I didn't call, for fear of disturbing Chi Lanyan's driving.
Aunt Su went on to say: "People from Ji's family also said that the young master is also there, and he will come back later."
"Xiaoqiu? Isn't he going to deliver food to Lu Ming?"
"At first, I didn't know what happened later, so I went to Ji's house." Aunt Su couldn't ask, she frowned and couldn't figure out the current situation.
Chi Lanyan is not a fool, she knew that Chi Xia could live outside for so long, she must have Chi Qiu's private help. She also knew that Chi Qiu would help Chi Xia, so the two brothers of the Ji family would definitely not sit idly by.
The misunderstanding between herself and her daughter was so deep that she had to rely on them to take care of Chi Xia.
She picked up the car keys on the coffee table, without further ado: "I'll go to Ji's house, you take good care of Xiaoxia."
In the face of Chi Lanyan, who is vigorous and resolute, Aunt Su can't say no. But when she saw that it was getting dark outside, she politely stopped her: "Boss Chi, why don't you do it tomorrow, I think you are very tired too. Go to bed early tonight, and the lady is back now..."
"I look at Xiao Xia like this, can I sleep? The two brothers of the Ji family must know what happened, I have to go over and ask, and bring Xiao Qiu back by the way."
This is the busiest rainy night in the Chi family.
Chi Lanyan's visit did not get any effective information.
Ji Feining avoided answering, and just said: "Aunt Chi, you are a step late, Yan Chen has already sent Chi Qiu back. I know you are in a hurry, but I don't know much about it, so it's inconvenient to say more gone."
Chi Lanyan didn't refute him.
He continued politely: "About Chi Xia, we are only helping Chi Qiu. For the rest, our Ji family won't get involved too much."
This is a family matter of the Chi family, Ji Feining made it clear that he did not want to interfere.
And they will do what they are now, in the final analysis, because of the kidnapping case back then. Chi Qiu is the lifelong benefactor of Ji's family, Ji Feining knows what is more important, and he can tell who should help and who should not.
The Ji family has paid enough to the Chi family. Now, they only owe Chi Qiu one person, all because this is a life-saving grace, and to Ji Yanchen, it is a debt that will never be cleared in a lifetime.
Chi Lanyan was very dissatisfied with Ji Feining's concealing attitude. She was usually an extremely calm person, but when it came to her own children, she would become very anxious.
Seeing that Ji Feining remained silent, she almost left in a huff and drove all the way home.
She couldn't wait to see Chi Qiu and ask him clearly.
When Chi Lanyan arrived home, compared to the doubts in her heart, what surprised her more was that Chi Qiu was sitting at the door of the villa, drenched in the rain. She almost didn't even stop the car, got out of the car in a panic, and shouted in shock: "Xiao Qiu, what are you doing here?!"
Chi Lanyan didn't have time to support the umbrella, so she ran forward, and she saw Chi Qiu shivering in the rain.
Fortunately, the rain is not heavy now, otherwise Chi Lanyan was really afraid that Chi Qiu would get wet.
Seeing that Chi Qiu didn't speak, she immediately reached out to grab him, and said angrily, "Get up!"
Chi Qiu still didn't move.
Chi Lanyan had no choice but to return to the car in a hurry, took an umbrella, and put it on top of Chi Qiu: "Xiao Qiu, tell mom, what's the matter? Where's Yan Chen? Didn't he send you back?"
Hearing Ji Yanchen's name, Chi Qiu was afraid that Chi Lanyan would be angry, so he uttered a little, and said in a murmur, "I told him to go back, he doesn't know I'm sitting here."
"Why don't you come in?" Chi Lanyan knelt down and kept stroking Chi Qiu's cheeks and neck. After feeling the strange temperature, her voice became more and more serious, "Xiao Qiu, don't scare me. Hurry up and come in with me!"
Chi Qiu shook his head, his face pale.
The rain wet his cheeks, but he stopped crying. His eyes were empty and dark, as if there was nothing left. The high and low mood swings after several hours in a row had tormented him so exhausted that he didn't even have the strength to speak now.
Chi Lanyan stopped talking nonsense with him, she decisively dropped the umbrella in her hand, hugged Chi Qiu, and dragged him in.
That's how she is, she strikes at the slightest disagreement, her character is extremely tough.
Chi Qiu struggled not to cooperate. As a male, no matter how thin he was, he was stronger than Chi Lanyan. He shyly pushed Chi Lanyan away and shrank into a corner.
He couldn't see Chi Xia.
Lu Ming did such a big mistake, and he was actually the beneficiary of one of them. Mr. Lu's huge wealth made him an "accomplice". Chi Xia had always harbored suspicions about him, but now that things have developed to this point, how could she trust him
Seeing Chi Qiu being so stubborn, Chi Lanyan burst into anger: "What's the matter?!"
Chi Qiu was trembling, his nerves were tense, and he was staring at the ground.
Chi Lanyan was at a loss. She didn't stop doing anything, and stood in front of Chi Qiu directly: "Okay, you want to do this, right? Then I'll accompany you in the rain and see which one of us falls first. Chi Qiu, are you sure you want to fall?" so?"
Chi Qiu raised his head abruptly, and his eyes were on Chi Lanyan's trembling lips: "Xiao Qiu, Mom knows that you have been unhappy for so many years. Since it is rare for you to be willful, then I will accompany you." She It was because of Chi Qiu's temperament that he was certain that Chi Qiu would compromise with her.
Sure enough, in less than a minute, Chi Qiu "disarmed and surrendered".
He couldn't bear Chi Lanyan to be exposed to the rain, so he begged Chi Lanyan to leave him alone.
Chi Lanyan hugged him again, stroking his back vigorously. Her tone changed from harsh to gradually gentle, blending into the night and rain: "Go in, Xiaoqiu."
Chi Qiu almost gritted his teeth.
Chi Lanyan's heart ached terribly: "I promise, I won't ask you anything. Let's all have a good rest tonight, shall we?"
Chi Qiu in her arms shook his head, then nodded again.
After so long in the rain, Chi Qiu's head was already in chaos. Chi Lanyan hugged him tightly and led him into the house. Because Chi Qiu couldn't stand stably and Chi Lanyan had little strength, they both fell down in the front hall.
Chi Lanyan struggled to get up and called Aunt Su loudly.
Aunt Su is getting old, and it is difficult to wake up in time after falling asleep. On the contrary, Chi Xia, who was in a light sleep, stepped out of the room first. She looked at the extremely embarrassed two people, and her eyes slowly fell on Chi Qiu. Chi Qiu also saw her, with blurred eyes facing each other.
"Xiao Xia..." Chi Qiu called Chi Xia hoarsely.
Chi Xia looked at Chi Qiu with complicated eyes, hesitated for a while, and stepped forward to help him up with Chi Lanyan.
