After Jing Ranxiu left, Qi Yan waited for a while before quietly getting out of the bed.
As soon as he got out, Qi Yan was shocked. Because at this moment, Mother Jing with a slight smile was standing beside the bed.
"..." Looking at Jing's mother's face, Qi Yan knew that she had seen through his little trick, and was speechless in embarrassment.
Jing's mother looked at him for a long time and then said: "Xiao Yan... did you and Xiao Xiu have any friction?"
Qi Yan pursed his dry lips and shook his head: "No..."
"Xiaoyan." Jing Yuyu sighed earnestly: "If Xiaoxiu did something wrong, I apologize to you on his behalf. Of course, I'm not afraid that you will use the topic to your advantage, I just hope to appease your aggrieved heart."
The biggest fear in a reorganized family is not that one person rejects the whole family, but that when one person makes another person feel wronged, there is no one to adjust. The consequences of that can only slowly alienate everyone's relationship.
Jing's mother didn't want that to happen, at least until Lao Qi's condition was not out of control...
These days, even just pretending.
How could Qi Yan tell Jing's mother what happened between him and Jing Ranxiu, but he didn't know what reason to use to prevaricate, so he could only nod along with her words and pretend to not care anymore.
Mother Jing smiled softly and said, "Are you feeling better? Can I make you another bowl of ginger water?"
"No, I'm much better. It's just that my body is weak." Qi Yan quickly refused: "I will definitely be alive and kicking tomorrow."
After making his vow, Qi Yan watched Jing's mother leave. It wasn't until the door closed and footsteps left that Qi Yan let go of the breath that had been holding in his throat.
He... was he almost exposed just now? !
After lying down on the bed again, Qi Yan opened the chat panel and saw the various begging and apologies from Lao Tu. Qi Yan directly deleted the dialog box between the two of them, and the message reminder below was from Jing Ranxiu.
-[How are you?]
These four simple words made Qi Yan suddenly feel sore at the tip of his nose, tears welled up in his eyes, and finally flowed down the corners of his eyes in vain...
Wouldn't your sister come and apologize to me? ! What’s the point of sending messages! !
Really feeling aggrieved, Qi Yan sniffed, wiped away his tears with his hands, angrily pressed his phone on the bed, closed his eyes, and went to sleep!
He seemed to have waited for Qi Yan's reply for a whole day, but Jing Ranxiu was destined to be disappointed, because after Qi Yan woke up, he forgot about this matter, maybe when he opened the chat panel again two or three days later I was surprised to realize that I didn't reply.
Jing Ranxiu thought Qi Yan was angry, and his heart was gloomy. He had no intention of working these days.
However, he was asked by Jing's mother to pay extra attention and explore the whereabouts of Zeng Yang and Zeng Xinrou's father and daughter, and found that Zeng Yang had no other major problems except foreign debt; and Zeng Xinrou was doing enough every day. She has the attitude of a rich girl, whether in school or outside. Perhaps the education she received since childhood has been deeply ingrained in her bones, so others look at her with displeasure.
Suddenly he thought about Qi Yan being drugged, and that day it happened that Zeng Yang brought Zeng Xinrou to the Qi family's villa...
Jing Ranxiu's mind exploded, and suddenly everything was figured out.
If what was in that pot of tea was intentionally created by someone who was waiting for an opportunity to achieve their own goals...
Then the night between him and Qi Yan was really a mistake.
The corners of Jing Ranxiu's lips suddenly curled into a smile, and the chill inside was self-evident.
If he wants to thank Zeng Yang and his daughter, he must... say 'thank you' properly.
Zeng Yang missed what happened last time, but he would not let it go a second time. Now that the end of the term has passed and Zeng Xinrou is at home every day, he can take his daughter and run to the Qi family villa often.
Lao Qi couldn't hold on anymore. The Qi family belonged to Qi Yan sooner or later. As for the newlywed wife and the extra son, Zeng Yang didn't believe that fool Lao Qi would give the family property to someone who had no blood relationship with him. son.
As long as his daughter holds Qi Yan firmly, the Zeng family's foreign debt will not be a problem at all.
So, on this day, Zeng Yang and Zeng Xinrou visited the Qi family villa again.
And Jing Ranxiu, who had been paying attention to the dynamics of the Zeng family and his daughter, also returned home early that day, quietly waiting for someone to come.
After playing the game, Qi Yan came downstairs to get snacks and was confused when he saw Jing Ranxiu on the sofa!
"you you you you-"
"I'm back." Jing Ranxiu said lightly, then looked away from Qi Yan.
The inexplicably tense atmosphere was broken up by his move. Qi Yan felt relieved, but also felt inexplicably disappointed.
Qi Yan silently took a lot of snacks from the refrigerator, holding them in both hands. When he returned to the living room, he glanced at Jing Ranxiu again and found that he was not looking at him, so he decided to go back to the room.
Coincidentally, at this moment, the housekeeper, Uncle Wang, opened the door and ushered in the Zeng family father and daughter who had planned it for a long time.
"Lao Qi, I'm here to see you!" Zeng Yang smiled with a familiar face: "Are you feeling better recently?"
Zeng Yang's loud voice made Lao Qi frown slightly. He glanced at Qi Yan reflexively and found that he didn't have any strange look on his face, so he felt relieved: "Why did you come suddenly and you didn't even tell me! "
"Hey, aren't I taking my daughter out for a walk? I decided to come and see you on the spur of the moment!" After Zeng Yang said that, he pulled his daughter, who was "casually walking" but dressed up very brightly, to the front: "Xinrou, Say hello to Uncle Qi!"
"Hello, Uncle Qi." Zeng Xin called out in a soft voice, then stood aside delicately and said nothing.
Lao Qi had to welcome others in the living room. After asking them to sit down, he ordered fruits and tea to be brought.
Lao Qi and Jing Ranxiu sat together, while Zeng Yang and Zeng Xinrou sat together. The four of them were facing each other. Qi Yan stood silently at the corner of the stairs, trying to take advantage of them when they didn't notice him. Get away!
But how could Zeng Yang let Qi Yan go
"Hey, why are you standing there, Xiaoyan? Come on!" Zeng Yang waved to Qi Yan: "Xinrou has been talking about you these days."
Qi Yan rolled his eyes without any trace, thinking that your daughter probably talks about my... family's money every day!
Qi Yan casually put the snacks on the cabinet, walked over, glanced around, and silently sat in the empty seat next to Jing Ranxiu.
Zeng Yang sat down after him, just like Jing Ranxiu who was next to Qi Yan just now.
"Hey, this is..."
"Ah, this is my wife's son." Lao Qi said: "Xiao Xiu, this is Uncle Zeng."
After the words fell, Jing Ranxiu didn't speak for a long time. Both Lao Qi and Zeng Yang became embarrassed, and they looked at each other. When Lao Qi was about to say something more to smooth things over, Jing Ranxiu suddenly glanced at Zeng Xinrou and spoke slowly.
"Hello."
