"Just now, the young lady went out and got in the car to meet someone..."
After seeing the content of the text message, Li Jingyi's face darkened, and he immediately replied, "Follow me and find out who that person is."
The other party in the text message responded, "Yes."
Then he put down his phone, and Li Jingyi looked at the blurry figures in the bathroom, thoughtfully.
…
The next day, afternoon.
The young couple finally sat on the return plane. Looking at the clouds outside the window, Tang Nuanhua felt very comfortable.
Four hours later, the plane landed and it was already dark.
The driver had been waiting outside for a long time, ready to pick them up at any time. When he saw the two of them, he immediately jumped over to help with their luggage.
After another half hour, the two finally successfully returned to Liyuan.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he got home, he saw Qiao Manxue sitting upright on the sofa in the hall.
At this time, Sister-in-law Li brought her a cup of tea, "Madam, have a cup of tea."
Qiao Manxue overturned the teacup in anger and said, "Get out of here!"
The tea cup fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Aunt Li didn't know what happened to her. She had been angry since she came home in the evening, but she couldn't ask anything, so she could only clean up the mess and whispered, "I'm sorry... "
After picking up the broken tea cup, Mrs. Li stepped aside obediently. In the blink of an eye, she suddenly exclaimed, "Master, Madam!"
Li Jingyi and Tang Nuanhua watched this scene at the door, both confused.
Qiao Manxue suddenly turned around, saw the young couple, and rushed towards them in almost two steps.
After holding Li Jingyi's left and right hands and checking them back and forth, Qiao Manxue asked anxiously, "Son, are you okay? Mom heard that you were injured. Where is it?"
"Mom, I'm fine." Li Jingyi pushed his mother away lightly, not used to her intimate attitude.
"It's okay, it's okay." Qiao Manxue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Qiao Manxue suddenly turned her attention to Tang Nuanhua, and her expression suddenly turned sharp, "Tang Nuanhua, you are simply unreasonable! You are so willful!"
Tang Nuanhua looked confused, wondering what had happened to him
"Mom, what's wrong?" Li Jingyi was also a little confused.
Qiao Manxue didn't say a word, but just scolded her face, "Jingyi went to Country R hard for work and for the company. But what about you? Do you think this is a tourist trip! He followed her there desperately, and kept saying I want to help myself, but I think you are going to do it a disservice, right? If it weren’t for you, would Jing Yi be injured?"
After saying this, Qiao Manxue still didn't feel like venting her anger, so she glared at Tang Nuanhua. The look in her eyes was so vicious that she wished she would die.
Tang Nuanhua immediately felt extremely innocent. What had she done wrong? Why should I be scolded as soon as I come back
I couldn't help but asked aggrievedly, "Mom, what's going on? Can you explain it clearly?"
Qiao Manxue sneered in a deep voice, "Didn't I make it clear enough? Don't think that because Jing Yi dotes on you and protects you, I don't know anything. This time when I went to Country R, if you hadn't been willful and misbehaving, Jing Yi would not..."
Another round of scolding.
Tang Nuanhua almost fainted from the continuous scolding. After listening for a long time without knowing why, he finally managed to hear some allusions to her anger from Qiao Manxue.
It turned out that Qiao Manxue thought Li Jingyi was injured because he was trying to protect Tang Nuan's paintings.
I can't help but have a headache, what on earth is going on...
These words were probably passed down by Mu Wushuang, because besides Mu Wushuang, who else could make such a small report to Qiao Manxue
Alas, what a great injustice!
After Qiao Manxue finally finished scolding, Tang Nuanhua breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "Mom, you misunderstood me. I admit that I did ask Jing Yi to take me to country R, but after I went You've always been very good and didn't run around anywhere, right? Moreover, Jing Yi was obviously injured to protect Mu Wushuang. I didn't care about it, but you started scolding me."
As he talked, Tang Nuanhua felt aggrieved.
"Do you think I will believe your words again?" Qiao Manxue didn't believe it at all and said with disdain, "A child as good as Wu Shuang has always been Jing Yi's most capable helper, and it's too late to help Jing Yi. How could Jing Yi get hurt?"
Tang Nuanhua was helpless after hearing this.
It seemed that no matter how she explained, Qiao Manxue would not believe her, or she was unwilling to believe her from the bottom of her heart.
That being the case, what else is there to say
Unexpectedly, Li Jingyi suddenly said calmly, "Mom, everything Nuan Hua said is true."
"What?" After hearing this, Qiao Manxue felt a little unbelievable for a moment, feeling as if she had been slapped in the face.
Li Jingyi confirmed again, "Nan Hua has been very well-behaved since he went to country R. He didn't cause me any trouble. Also, the injury on my hand was caused accidentally and has nothing to do with her."
…
For a moment, the air was a little stagnant.
A hint of embarrassment appeared on Qiao Manxue's well-maintained face, and she opened her mouth, originally wanting to argue something.
But seeing her son's determined look, Qiao Manxue sighed inwardly and had no choice but to give up.
At the end, he still glanced at Tang Nuanhua displeasedly and said, "Okay, it seems my news is wrong, but this time it can be regarded as a warning to you. The daughter-in-law of our Li family is not that good either. That’s right. Just be careful from now on.”
After saying that, Qiao Manxue didn't stay any longer and left quickly.
As soon as she left, Tang Nuanhua breathed a sigh of relief, but his mood never got better.
Sitting on the sofa in silence, Tang Nuanhua couldn't tell what he was feeling.
Li Jingyi's mother had a very deep opinion of her. As long as someone complained, Qiao Manxue would immediately believe whatever they said and come over to blame her, which was really a headache.
She and Li Jingyi would have to live together for the rest of their lives. If Qiao Manxue had always had this attitude, their relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would probably not be much better.
Li Jingyi, of course, saw Tang Nuan's disappointment at this moment, and he couldn't bear it.
Then he stepped forward and comforted, "Mom may have misunderstood you. Just explain it clearly. Don't take it too seriously."
Tang Nuanhua smiled helplessly, "Yes, I know."
No matter how wronged she was, she couldn't take it to heart.
After all, she was Li Jingyi's mother. She couldn't be at odds with anyone, not her mother-in-law.
Tang Nuanhua simply felt aggrieved, but he felt much better after calming down a little.
Seeing that her condition was really getting better, Li Jingyi felt relieved.
At this time, Tang Nuanhua suddenly stood up and urged, "Okay, it's getting late. Go and get some sleep first. The injury is not completely healed yet."
